When the Great Northern rolls into
her dock on November IA, besides hay.

United States, she will discharge sey.
enty.fve Of the greatest boosters that
ever sold corner lots, made metro
polls out Of mud mound OF dwarfed
into the zero equation all other parts
Of this war-ridden sphere which as.
tronomers call the earth. These are the
men who literally sell the earth and all
the goodness thereof. '.a.@ ~,
But why prolong the suspensef They
are the thirty.third degree members OF
the Los Angeles Chamber Of Commerce
Nobody knows just why they are com.
ing to Hawaii. Possibly they need a
vacation. Mayhap they wish to spend
some Of the surplus profits. made from
the record tourist crop Of 1915 as O
result of the expeditions at San Fran.
cisco aud San Diego. ..
At any rate they are coming. They

crowded thoroughfares. On all conspic
uouS places of the world they have
cadsed the magic name of Los, Angeles
to be Jared and flashed and flung back
to the startled beholder, picturing the
glories and grandeur of the Southland
where the golden orange smiles back at
the glittering peaks of the snow-clad
SieTras. ,,-' -
g. In less than . generation the proud
boast Of Los, Angeles is that IL is tht
largest city on the western hemisphere

swarm the streets of Honolulu on No
vember Il, and their, companions bach
on the Coast.
