AN oLD-FAsHIoNED GARDEN


Behind the wall of memory,
Is a garden l cannot forget,
From the roses wondrous beauty
To dainty sprays of mignonette.
The spicy pink's sweet fragrance
That borders the garden way,
And the glorious lilies splendor
An old fashioned garden, you say.
1t is only fancy or momory, know.
But there, without care, one may
freely go.
And amid the peaceful old fashioned
beauty
Breathe new life for busy days
duty.
I see the perfection of each dainty
flower,
AS it.-spreads it's faint sweetness
each quiet hour,
And l wonder, if my life too will be
such
That the Great Gardner will feel,
l have done as much?
Can I shake off tears, as flowers the
dew?
Scatter sweet thot's and smile,
when Pm blue?
AS each stands in its place, with
humble beauty
May 1 too learn such patience, and
be faithful to duty.
Aside I have set my wild ambition,
In the glamourous world of fame,
to have stepped,
May I be content in my homely con-
dition
To, share comfort with those who
have wept.
Yes ! know it is a bit old fashioned,
To pause in this busy today,
But the lesson, learned in such quiet
reflection.
Will so abundantly brighten the
way.

PULLING TOGETHER

We are being urged to pull to-
gether" to save our country and we,
Republicans and Democrats, are pull
ing together to this end.
But why this sudden squirt of patri-
otism?
Why didn't the people and the Con-
gress get behind Mr.. Hoover when
he was making superhuman efforts
against terrific odds?
And now President Roosevelt will
reap where Mr. Hoover has sown.
Of course we shall support the
President, particularly those of US
who voted for Mr.. Hoover, because
loyalty is paramount, particularly in
a crisis.
If Congress had helped Mr.. Hoover
as now it is united in helping Mr.
Roosevelt, we should not. be in the
midst of such crisis, but we'll on the
way to recovery.
Congress turned down every effort
Mr.. Hoover made to save the coun-
try-it passed the veterans bonus
over Mr.. Hoover's veto, gave Mr.
Hoover power to consolidate the fed
eral offices at Washington, only to
take it away from him afterward;
would not listen to sales tax, as
Secretary Mills suggested to balance
the budget-and here we are!
No one is more to blame than the
Democrats and insurgents in Con-
gress and the country knows it. If
the Congress really had had the in
terests of the country at heart they
would have pulled together under any
President, especially President Hoov-
err, who gave all there was in him to
hold the Nation together.
Country first, then party.
But did Mr.. Hoover ever get break
of any kind all these three years past?
1t was the Democrats who broke
down all barriers and played party
first-never mind the country.
But-we are for whatever Presi-
dent Roosevelt wants insofar as it
tends towards settling the problems
confronting the country.
But-with all this shouting and
pleading, why wasn't this started
when we had a competent leader
Herbert Hoover?
And, again, it is to be noted the way
the Republican party is responding
to the patriotic call to bring pros
perity back proves that it still is the
Grand Old Party working for the good
of its country.
The Lets Pull Together" idea is
good one, and it is called a part of
''the new deal"
Well and good.
We, as loyal Americans, will stand
by; also as loyal Republicans, we will
be NEEDED.
1t has happened before.
But it is to be noted that while due
credit will not be denied President
Roosevelt for his part, at present, to
do what he can to restore prosperity,
it is well to remember Mr.. Hoover,
who was baked, BY Democrats, for
political reasons, which was to be ex-
pected, and alas, by members of, his
own party, who should have supported
their President and pulled together to
do it, but who joined the Democrats
and frustrated his every effort.

THIEF works
NERvY RUSE

Nerve and a certain amount of
cleverness Melted an unknown thief
over 500 in currency early this
morning according to a report on
file at police headquarters.
The report states that a man of
medium build, described as being
dressed in a light shirt and dark
trousers, entered the lobby of the
Barbara Worth hotel about 3 o clock
this morning. Approaching the desk
he told the clerk on duty that
someone was climbing up the back
fire escape to enter the hotel.
The clerk dashed to the elevator
and had the operator take him up
stairs Immediately to investigate.
Becoming suspicious after hay-
ing discovered that there was no
one proving about the upper floors
OF the hotel, nor was anybody on
the fire escape. the clerk hurried
hack to the lobby where he dis
covered the man scooping money
out of the till and putting it in a
paper bag. He shouted at the in
truder who dropped the bag, ran
out the front door of the hotel and
made good his escape.
A checkup later showed that over
500 in currency was taken by the
thief.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. tU.P -
The number of airports and land

increased on July l, 1888 to 2.136,
as compared with 2.037 on July |,
1882. according to the department
Of commences bureau of aeronaut-

OF the 1888 number, 631 were full

California was the leading state,
having PA field, followed by Texas
and Pennsylvania with 1876 and Ill
respectively. California also was the
leading state in the matter of mum
icipal airports, with SO. while Pen

ness of steel mills showed divergent
tendencies. During July, local steel
concerns obtained large contract
for towers to be used in the con-
struction of a new power line from
Los Angeles TO Boulder dam.
THE volume of building permits
issued in Los Angeles during July
decreased l4.3 per cent from June,
but increased 40.6 per cent as COM
pared with July, 1882. For 40
Southern California communities,
exclusive OF Los Angeles, building
permits were valued at 1891 ,078 in
June which figure represents de-
crease of 1875 per cent from the
May figure but an increase of 81
per cent over the total for June,
1882.
THE average returns received by
California growers from the sale of
Valencia oranges during July show
ed gradual improvement, quotations
during the last week of the month
averaging $1.90 per box, f. o. b..
shipping points. Prices remained
below the levels of preceding years,
however, and the income Of grow
ers is said to be considerably be-
low the cost of production"
Agricultural highlights of the re-
view include the following: Pluins
are now moving to market at prices
nearly twice those of year ago;
markets for both grapes and raisins
have shown material improvement
in recent months; returns on sugar
beets will be considerably higher
than last year; and the income de
rived by cotton growers in Califoc-
mia is expected to be the largest
since 1880. Prices on livestock
showed moderate gains ct the Los
Angeles market during July with
quotations on lambs reaching
level considerably above that of q
year ago.

Racing To Saue
Fairs In Oregon,

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 4. U.Pi
somewhat new to young Oregonians
Dog racing and horse racing,
Is expected TO pay for Oregon's
state fair, its county fairs and the
annual Pacific International Live
stock Exposition in Portland.
The recent legislature. moved by
a demand for economy, erased the
usual appropriation Of 1880 for
fairs from its budget, and in it's
stead legalized dog and horse rae
ing, the tax revenues therefrom to
finance the fairs and livestock ex-
position.
They seem TO make a good SUBJ
stitute. Tax receipts from the first
80 days of dog racing are expected
to bring $4,000, and the next 80
days should show a total revenue of
$4,000. Then the horse racing sea-
son begins, and if receipts from
that sport are up to anticipations,
the Oregon fairs will receive $780,

JULY BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
SHOWN In BANKS SUMMARY

Steady Improvement; character
lied the business situation in Sou
thern California during July with
many trades and industries show
ing gains, contrary to the seasonal
dullnesS usually apparent during
the summer months, according to
the Monthly Summary of Business
Conditions compiled and published
by the Security First National Bank
of Los Angeles. 1t reported that,
generally speaking, economic acti-
witty in this region is now at about
the same level as prevailed during
the first three months of 1882.
Retail trade in Los Angeles con-
tinues, as in previous months, To
register gains and now stands con-
siderably above the showing of July
1882. Bank debts in Los Angeles
totaled $606, 764, 951 in July in con-
trast with 518,777.327 in June and
530.667 1877 in July 1882. Wage and
salary increases have been announ-
ced by firms in many fields CO ac-
tivity and employment of new
workers is reported by numbers of
companies.
Climatic conditions were favor
able to agricultural growth during
July while the values of a majority
of the new crops were increased by
rising prices. These and other indi-
ces of a continued improvement
were cited in the business review
which reported that automobile
tire. grain milling and steel indus
tries showed declines in July as
compared with June, due partly to
seasonal influences and partly to
the after-effect of large sales i'll
weeks occasioned by pros
pective price increases. However, OPP
erations in these fields remain well
above those Of the summer of 1882
Heavy Industries Better

BEST FOODS
To COST LESS

At a time when the housewives
of FL Centre have been warned to
expect higher prices on many COM
modities ii will be welcome news to
learn that one widely used food
will cost less. tt..
According to Simon Levi COM
pany. Ltd, distributor for the Best
Foods brand of dressings. Best
Foods Mayonnaise and Best Foods
Gold Medal Salad dressing will
now cost you considerably less.
Back of this price reduction in
salad dressings is romantic story
of the changing food habits of the
American public. Not more than
10 years ago mayonnaise was used
by comparatively few people. Since
that time its use has grown with
leaps and bounds as more and
more people acquired the habit of
eating salads.
AS any housewife who has tried
to make mayonnaise at home
knows, its manufacture is most
difficult.
The Best Foods, Inc, has just
opened a new kitchen in San Fran
cisco to supply the Pacific coast
which is filled with elaborate and
complicated machinery in order to
manufacture the mayonnaise which
we have learned to like on our
salad or with sandwiches.
The price reduction announced
this week is made possible because
of the new kitchen as the price of
eggs and oil, the chief ingredients
in mayonnaise, have advanced rap
idly during the past few months.

GOTHIC STYLE
ARTISTS UNITE

STONE CITY, Ia. Aug. 4. U.P)-
Driven from Kansas because several
of his modern Gothics' we're
harshly criticized, John Stuart Cur
ry will seek solace in the compan-
ionship of Grant Wood. another Of
the modern Gothic opponents.
Curry's exodus from Kansas fol-
lowed the exhibiting of his paint
ings, Baptism in Kansas" and The
Cyclone Cellar" TO the general pub
lie. Critics and others said they
were not representative of Kansas
and at the same time denounced
Curry.
At about the same time Wood
exhibited his now famous paintings,
American Gothic" and Daughters
of the Revolution" in Iowa. A Sigh I,
protest arose at first, but almost
instantly changed to appreciation
as the public stud ed the pictures. In
stead Of denouncing Wood, the
people began TO hail him as the
middle vests greatest painter.
The two painters began cor
respondence when stories ran in
newspapers comparing the recep-
ton of their picturesque forced
to bear a storm of criticism in his
site for bis real-life paintings,
while the other was praised for
identically the same type Of execu-
ton.
Wood, spending the summer as
faculty director of the Stone City
Art colony, invited Curry to visit
him. Curry, who had been travelling
with a circus, painting actors and
animals, accepted. The two artists

circulation of these funds Is evil
dent in the volume Of debts to III
diyidual bank accounts reported tor
the city. Total bank debts IN july
were ITO per cent larger than lie
June. 1870 per cent above the ligure
for july 1882. and were the largest
Tor any month since March oil last
year.
Los Angeles department store
sales were, in the aggregate, be-
tween 7 and per cent larger III
July of this year than in the cor
responding month a year ago, az
cording to reports from representa-
tive firms. Moreover, the upward
trend was sufficient to raise the
total volume of business slightly
above the level of June. despite the
fact that a seasonal decline OF at
least 5 per cent usually occurs dur
ing this interval. July marks the
fourth consecutive month in which
the retail trade of Los Angeles has
reflected definite improvement.
1.-THE official statistics of the fed
eral reserve bank Of this district
show that retail trade in Los An
geles during June was 2.3 per cent
larger than in June, 1882, while the
number of sales transactions in
creased 1.8 per cent. Retail trade
during July in communities other
than Los Angeles, located through
ont the southern part of the state
showed little change from June but
was generally larger than in July
year ago.
industrial activity IN the Los
Angeles area was generally of a
smaller volume in July than in
June but considerably larger than
in the corresponding month Of last
year, according to reports from rep
resentative firms. The current re-
cession is partially attributed to
, seasonal influences, but IN some
lines, is considered as an aftermath
of the unusually large purchases
made during June by both the dis
tributing trades and the public IN
anticipation of higher prices.

While "OIe Doc Stork'' kept far
ahead of the "Grim Reaper" dur

"Doc'' must have taken a bit of
vacation during the month, leaving
the work of ladling out new arriv-
ais to Mrs. Stork..
That appears TO be the most
logical explanation for the fact
that there were II girl babies born
during the month in El Centre,
while the best the boys could
muster up was six, according to

The white boys were one up on
