We may be the sixth city in popu-
lation in July 1921. In new city
directory the population of Los An
lgeles is estimated at 770,301, a gain
of 141. 16 per cent over the 1920 es-
innate. From the 18th city in 1910 to
the 9Th in 1921. is showing a fine rec
ord for us. During February Los An
geles took 5th place among cities of
the United States in point of building
activities, nOsing out San Francisco
by a small margin.
Cultivated in rich California soil
and famed by the warm breezes, the
new southern California rose by years
of cross breeding Of many kinds Of
roses has been changed into large
and beautiful red blossom. Besides
being larger it is harder and retains
its petals for long time after being
taken from the bush. The American
Green House Co. has the patent and
has started the first of a series of
a writs of $5O0,O00 rose factory.
The farmer who raises alfalfa in
California is to be envied. He has
only to turn on the water and nature
does the rest. and raises from to
z crops year. He can sell it on the
stalk and as soon as cut and hauled
hn cfo nc a
land costs $3.50 an acre and he gets
a revenus of so per cent year. It
pays to farm in the right place, which
is in California.
Here is a man that wins success
although badly handicapped. Both
of his hands were cut off above the
wrists, but he says fellow is never
through until he is carried to the
grave. Thirty years ago H. L. Dock
son recently appointed as chief as
sistant u. S. District Attorney in Los
Angeles, might have decided he was
through. He fell from the cab of a
locomotive in the path of passing
train and both hands were cut off.
He was poor and had a mother to
support Six months he remained in
the hospital and then he got into the
brokerage business, but he had to
have man to write down the orders.
Then a friend got him to study law
He went to the University in Missis-
sippi, was graduated and admitted to
pactice law. He runs an automobile,
writes with a pencil or the typewri-
ter, shave himself and can do almost
anything that man with both hands
can do. He has been district attor
ney of two counties and now chief
assistant U. S. district attorney in
Los Angeles. That is fine showing
Heralding the dawning of the resur-
rection morn five great sunrise &c
clesiastical services on the verdant
southern California hilltops adjoining
Los Angeles on Easter Sunday marked
the end of lent. Famous throughout
America for the beauty and inspira-
t'onal piety of her Easter observan-
ces Los Angeles tried to surpass all
former ceremonies. Tens of thou
again to travel to the foot of the gilt
tering cross to the different places of
worship and at $40 a. M a chorus
OF brass instruments proclaimed the
coming of Easter, playing the "Holy
City"
For several years previous to 1919
Los Angeles built but little and the
increase of the city had outgrown the
accommodations here. They were
short $4,000 houses. The result was
that the search for the home had be
come frantic and houses rose in val
ue from to 8 times the price of a
year before and before the end of
1919, $4,000 new people came here
to live The year 1920 showed the
greatest increase in population in the
history of Los Angeles, so now in
1921 there are about 10000 families
living in 1.-2.-and rooms and are
anxious to buy home.
No stage manager ever presented
more beautiful setting of fairyland
than nature did for Easter and the
