San Francisco is a truly Cosmo-
politan City, every nationality on
i the globe is represented, and one
hears some foreign tongues often as
our own, but while this is true to
some extent here, there is not that
large foreign element, its inhabitants
| are cultured people from the coun-
try east of the mountains. And
practically every religious denomin-
alton is represented The chief fea-
ture of the city is its many beauti-
full suburbs, and it's varied success
sion of scenery, it's beautiful flowers
palatial homes and sea side resorts,
There are any number of places of
amusements Oh the coast including
Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Venice.
Redondo Beach, Long Beach and
Catalina Islands, all of which are
progressive sea side resorts, each
r1valing the other in it's many at
to be seen thousands of persons
bathing daily the year around.
No one who has not actually seen
for himself can begin to tell of the
palatial homes and grounds of the
multimillionaires at Pasadena, in
comparison every one else seems
very poor. Here reside the very
wealthy from the east, and millions
and millions of dollars are represent
ed in their hOmes-and one again
wonders why some should have so
much of this worlds goods, while
in the streets of the same city, are
pinched faced men and women sell
ling papers on the streets for bare
living. Again the question is asked
why is it thus? 0
OF the farming lands, none seen
so far are equal to those of the
San Joanquin Valley, reaching a
distance of 400 miles south from
San Francisco, with an average
width of Is miles. Traveraed by
the valley route of the Southern Pa
cific R. R., one views with wonder
and amazement the rich fertile
lands, the fine crops of wheat, oats
and alfalfa, but it is the fruits
which make the deepest impression.
Here you zee every kind you can
call to mind. The olive, almond,
apricot, date, pPunes, figs, apple,
pear, orange, lemon, plums, grapes
and other kinds too numerous 20
mention, with berries of every name
and kind. This land is practically
| all irrigated, fertilizers are un-
known and crop failures are un-
heard-of things. The grain crops
are in harvest now, and the mowers
and reapers are busy alongside the
trains, and close in their wake fol-
how the big traction engines, pre-
pairing the lands for the next crop.
Farming looks easy, everybody
rides the laborors ON the various
machines, and the overseers ana
owners are on horse or in eutomo-
biles. One is lead to wonder Of the
famous oat crop grown by Carter,
which is said to have been so album
dant that it could not be stacked ON
the land where it grew, was not
grown in this valley.
Scenes like this are constantly ba4'
fore you, while on one side 10 the
snoW-capped Sierra Nevada noun
tains and on the other the Coast
range, covered with snow. &
We had the pleasure of seeing Mr..
and Mrs. Alban Gilbert at Modesto,
where they are visiting Mr.. Charlie
Northcutt, their brother, and right
glad We were to see them, but some
what disappointed to learn that Mr..
Gilbert had not brought with him
the Marietta Trust q Banking Co.
! Our trip would not have been COM
plete, so far as Mrs. Morris is con-
cerned, without trip to Universal
: City, the home of the movies, and
handshake with the principal
stars, chief of which is Warren Ker-
rigan. A letter of Introduction from
: Mr.. c. r. Beacham, Secretary and
} Treasurer of the Universal Film C
: Supply Co., who resides in Atlanta,
to Mr.. Isadore Bernstein, the pro-
= ducing manager, enabled us to be
introduced to all the leading stars
and delightfully."- entertained by the
management. | am sure Mrs. Nor
4 ris will consider this event some
what in the same light as did the
= warriors of old, exhibit the scalps

? when she herself relates them in
5 detail to her friends, especially the
t fact that she was introduced to War
