Dear Governor:
Let me heartily congratulate you. l earnestly hope

to hold the Progressives far enough back to keep a SUBJ

short crops and the failure Of the
small grain crops to produce a profit
on the average farm has impressed
upon the farmer that he must look to
the raising of stock and to more d.
versified farming to make his farm
pay. The farmer realizes that he
must replace the old one-crop system
with more permanent and diversified
system, which implies more cultiva-
ton and the production Of more and
better livestock.
With more farmers going into the
Pure Bred business great need has
been felt for better pure bred live
stock marketing facilities.
A number of prominent breeders IN
this section of the country have stat
ed that Minot, because of it's excellent
railroad facilities and being centrally
located, is the logical place to estab-
fish distributing center.

IRVING WALLACE WRITES
FROM CALIFORNIA
Minot Young Man Tells of Visit IA
Japanese Warship and Comments
on the Jap Menace-Visits
Mexico.

The following interesting letter has
been received from Irving Wallace,
grandson Of James Johnson:
30 So. Man Ave-,
Long Beach, Calf, Jan. 10, 20.
Mr.. James Falconer,
Minot, N. Oak.
Dear Professor: Now that | have
settled myself for the time being. will
endeavor to let you know that / am
still in existence and that all is fine
in southern California.
From all correspondence, l find that
you people are having quite a severe
winter in general.
includes the "Independent," which is
very much like a letter from home.
The winters here seem to be some
what on the mild form, and the best
way / can explain it is by repeating
q gentleman in the hotel that said it
was B. V. D. weather.
On Xmas day is was 80 degrees
practically all day, and many people
gathered on the beaches for the day.
In fact, the majority were on the
shady. side, as the sun became very
hot where no breeze was encountered.
Los Angeles has two large beaches
for the population to visit, namely
Venice and Long Beach,
You can imagine the immense crowd
upon the beach when people from the
inland towns come to spend their hol-
idays and Sundays.
The bathing season is not in full
swing, in fact it will not be for an
other month, but of course, many peo-
pie take their daily dip.
On Xmas day a person could see all
ages in bathing. The beach photogra-
piers also coined much money, Just
because the eastern tourist wish to
write back home telling about SWIM
ming on Xmas and enclose a photo.
A person can readily see that south
ern California would be far in the rear
OF its present growth, if it were not
for the tourists.
For instance, here at Long Beach
their permanent population Is about
$4,000 and it now exceeds 100000, in
GLIDING the winter tourists.
They also have their summer tour
lists from the hot climates, such as the
extreme southern states, tho the am
cunt is not near that of the winter
tourists.
The hotels are surely having their
harvest. They can receive most any
rate asked, as there is very great
shortage of rooms.
Tourists coming in after the hotels
were filled, surely had their time, and
while in the search for a room they
would have to sleep in hotel Hobbies,
depots, IN fact most any place where
they could hang their hat.
They claim it is about the prettiest
time Of the year at present, for one
reason is that roses are now in bloom,
and they surely are real flowers, and
to 60 alon~ and view the yards that
are decorated up surely reveals a very
beautiful sight.
At the Rose Carnival 1T Pasadena,
the floats were just loaded with
flowers mostly roses, and the carnival
and Harvard Oregon football game
drew a crowd estimated at 26O, 900.
Speaking Of football, the Long
Beach High sure has remarkable
eleven" and all during the season

have walked away with all honors, in
Guiding the state championship.
Last Saturday the Phoenix (Ariz.)
team played here, the winners being
the champions of the Southwestern
states.
Now it would seem by viewing the
game, that it was an annual track
meet, as the score was 1903 to 0 in
Long Beach's favor.
Phoenix it was that had very good
team, and many of their fans came
WIN the team to procure bets, but
there was absolutely no chance. One
OF the Long Beach stars made 10
yard dash with the ball.
While at San Diego / found things
rather different than at Los Angeles;
more quiet, and very little building 60
ing on, and to my opinion it would be
hard for the majority of the places of
business to exist if it was not for the
sailors.
When l visited there, there were IS
government ships in the harbor, and
it surely was some sight.
| had the opportunity to visit q
Japanese war shin and compare it
with ours. The ships are constructed
practically the same, and having guns
that resembled our very much.
One thing l noticed was, their ship
was not kept up as well as ours, more
untidy, and the brass was unpublished,
which shows up so very much.
The uniforms of the Japanese sail
ors resemble that of the American
sailors very much, the one popularity
! noticed was that all sailors (Jap)
had their hair cut close, for a reason
| could not find. | asked one sailor
but our conversation was slightly diff
ficult so l did not venture to ask any
others.
While at San Diego l ventured a
little farther south and spent day
on the other side of the border at TIA
Juania (Tia Wanee) and I assure you,
! found things quite lively there.
Now, because Of being in Mexico,
they are allowed to have their bars
and gambling dens.
The Casino is the largest of all,
and has bar the entire length of the
building, and the balance of the build
ing is taken up with gambling devices,
and here it takes but very short time
to win or bust, generally bust.
Now the reason for it's popularity
is that it is but II miles from San
Diego, and takes but short time to
drive down with car.
There is a stage line operates be-
tween the two points and they are
always busy, tho the custom house
closes at nine p. m. and person must
be across the border by that time,
and they are very strict as to the
SMUGGLING of liquor, and especially
strict on opium.
Now a very minute tin Of opium
valued at few dollars in Mexico can
easily be sold at $500 in the States, 50
you see there is many that would take
the chance, but they catch them very
often and give them very severe sen
tence.
The horse races start up at Tia Ju.
ana in week, and the managers have
made arrangements with the govern
ment 80 that fans may procure ten
day permits to stay to view the races.
The people here are discussing the
Jap situation very much, and I had
no idea that they were such 9 menace
as they are, mean not in disorderly
way but in a business way.
They sure are what you might call
a progressive clan, they carry on Their
trade with each other, therefore with
their saving methods become very
rich.

UP TO THE MINUTE

My shoes they cost me fourteen bones,
My shirt of silk, so loud it groans,
My hat is fashions shining light;
Oh, won't I be a nifty sight
In overalls?
Myself and all the other dubs
We always join the latest clubs.
And though it make my friends to
weep,
I'll jump the fence with the other
sheep
In overalls.
Like all the rest of Fashions fools
Who brush aside the wisest rules,
I'll blindly follow, if so I'm led,
Where even angels fear to tread
In overalls.
And now I lay me down to sleep;
My coat and pants you may them
keep,
But if | die before l wake,
Oh, please he kind and do not take
My overalls.
Far out upon that wide black tide
That flows from here to other side,
hear a shrek from a drowning
wretch,
Who careless-like forgot to fetch
His overallS.
But when l come to Jordan's shore,
Far from the white lights galore,
I'll stand upon the rivers brink
And pray the water will not shrink
My overalls.
