The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1927-12-08

the formation and arrangement OF
the various strata of rock. This
is of peculiar design and most
striking in appearance. On some
of the surfaces there appear to be
carvings, creatures with monstrous
features and unique proportions.
If one would search long enough
he might find the carving of the
missing Link" or the original pet
rified and imbedded in the rock.
The display of colors of different
shades and hues adds the final
touch of beauty. Every color in
it's richest hue, and the blending of
these colors, accentuated by the
shifting of the suns rays adds a
softeness that is very pleasing.
After crossing the last range of
mountains, the tourist is suddenly
dropped into the the land of sun
shine and flowers. The carefully
kept orchards, trees heavily laden
with blossoms and luscious fruit
invite more attention. All along
his mind has been filled with won.
der and amazement. Finally he
reaches Los Angeles. Here there is
so much activity, SO much conges-
ton and so much to be seen. But
there are yet two places. he must
see, Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Here are the beautiful homes.
There is possibly no city so widely
known as Hollywood, and the pic
ture industry of course is respon-
sIble Tor that. There are possibly
more artists, more composers and
there likely is greater display of
talent in Hollywood and Beverly
Hills than in any two other cities
of equal size in the world. There
is so much to be seen and heard
so many attractive theatres and so
many large and handsome church
es. There are many good things
to be heard from the pulpit. Every
thing is done to embellish the SER
vices-splendid music, etc. l have
never been in church out here
without seeing the altar artistical-
ly decorated with beautiful flowers.
Everything is done with a peculiar
design to attract people and TO
make it pleasant and inviting for
them. There is a fine spirit of CO.
operation among the business men
CT Hollywood. In every line in
every act, there seems to Ibe a
strong appeal TO make this the
tourists home. So far there has
been nothing disappointing. New
thoughts and new scenes have en-
livenei the interests about this
time, letters come from home,
speaking of the cold, snow and dis
NAL weather. How he shudders
when he thinks about it. Now he
has about reached the climax-he
has wonderful mental picture
like crystal and appears so pure
he quietly begins to think and fl
! nally decides to stay or eventually
to make this his home. He is
not yet conscious that he has al
ready reached the height of glory.
That is the way California has
grown. SO early in the stage, SO
completely engrossed in the new
surroundings the tourist has for
gotten one very important factor,
and that comes to him quite vivid
ly during the period of reflection.
Soon he begins to realize that it
takes more than climate, beautiful
scenery and new environment to
make complete happiness. He be
gins to think about his friends
back home, and realizes the value
of old friends. ] means old time
friends who have proven their real
worth, you know there is a saying,
mo friends like old friends" and
that is so true. In saying this
there is no reflection on new
friends out here-there are good
people everywhere, but it takes
time to learn to know them. That
