TO PLEDGE BONDS

Permission was granted by the
railroad commission yesterday to the
Southern California Edison company
to pledge its 5 per cent bonds of the
face value of 100000 for the purpose
Of making certain extensions in the
company's system. The commission
heretofore authorized the sale of
these bonds, but on account of the
condition of the money market the
company found it desirable to pledge
the bonds rather than to sell them

THE relation between the public and

1t is by applause" The writer says

When I'm feeling mean and blue
And I'm hateful as can be,
When l growl the whole day through
And find fault with all l see.
When my little plans go wrong
And my lips in sneers are curled.
Then It is with language strong
I sit down and blame the world.
But when all my skies are blue
And I'm basking in the sun.
When what | set out to do

When my banner is unfurled
And my wallets lined with pelf.
Do l credit give the world?
No; l take II oil myself.

D,n't Fall Into tho am Do Il Some
Day" Habit.
Some day" is the one day Of the
3G5 that has no place in the calendar
and is still the most popular day for
making diSagreeable engagements. 1t
is the day that every idle dreamer
chooses to begin the monumental work
that 1t is to make his fame and for
tune.
Today is always huddled. crowded.
too hot or too cold. too wet or too dry.
Today is out of the question. But
"some day lies in the far golden haze
of the future that seems to have In it
the infinite leisure of eternity. And so
we defer till the more convenient sea
son that never comes what ought to
be done inStanter. without taking heed
Of our own feelings, our plausible oh
jeCtions. and permitting the creeping
paralysis of overmuch debate that
keeps the arm from striking while the
iron is hot.
These prophecies that begin with
''Some day" and good resolution are
rarely converted into the past tense
The man of action makes his plans So
berry and takes the facts where he
can get them that will help him to de-
eide what To do But when his mind
is once made up he goes ahead without
telling you much about it He does not
boast He is too conscious of his own
