NEW UPTREND
DISPLAYED BY
TRADE ACTIVITY

The Monthly Summary of Busi-
ness Conditions in Southern Cali
fornia, just issued by the research
department, Security First National
Bank, shows that small decline
characterized Southern California
business in August, "but," explains
the summary, "this reaction is in
line with normal expectations, COM
ing at it does after a period featur-
ed by unusually rapid gains, bonus
spending and other special factors.
The business index" continues the
summary, Stands at 92.6 (prelim-
inary) for August as compared with
the recovery peak of 93.3 registered
in July.
Hopeful signs are seen in the
general upward trend in the steel
industry which has continued to
operate at high levels. Steel orders
originating from large public works
projects, such as the Colorado river
aqueduct, and from numerous pri-
vate construction jobs have kept
California steel mills operating at
rate above the average for the
United States. The significance OF
this record is emphasized by the

The law giving candidates the

Imperial Valley politicians.

Democratic ticket, automatically
becomes a member of the Demo-

Of four in all
Since the Democrats have no
candidate for the assembly, the au-

goes to the Democratic County Gen.

so important to eastern steel mills,

building and construction activity

Local department stores have
made a fair showing in August

creasing over July by a little less
than the usual seasonal amount. AS
in previous months the volume of
sales was appreciably larger than
in the corresponding period a year
ago, producing percentage gain
of approximately 10 for the month
or 1879 on the daily average basis.
Furniture is one of the bright spots
in the retail trade situation. Los

been experiencing a sales gain of
80 per cent in many instances with
a 25 per cent gain a fair average
In the wholesale market sales are
up Is to 25 per cent over August,

Building activities have continued
to expand, carrying Southern Cali
fornia permits for August to a new
peak at over 101 per cent of the
1880 average. In Los Angeles the
decline was less than the seasonal
amount, with residential building
holding its recent gains.

In bygone days-the boom days,
when successful men, after count
ing their profits, were wont to take
time off to comment on public af-
fairs-it was quite customary for
civic leaders of the great metropol-
itan areas to view with alarm and
point with concern to "the lack
of business organization in the
farming industry"
The farmer, said the city mer-
chant prince, was good producer
but mot a good business man!'
Recalling these caustic remarks
IA other days, California farmers
Bzn perhaps be pardoned a quiet
chuckle over the new lament OF
certain city interests and urban
leaders-in these post-depression,
reconstruction days.

good as a busines man. In fact,

The new point of view (strictly

by psychic scribe for one of the
big city newspapers who declares
that Washington experts are "be-
coming convinced that CALIFORNIA; s
farm problem is not agrarian, but

 Dear Warden
 Oh. I am so happy and thrilled. I must tell you of my success and what I have caught. due to your e. forts in behalf of us girls. At first my animal appeared to be sort of shy or stupid. but though it is slightly afflicted with dandruff. $ truly a well-furred beast.
 I have been training and winning its confidence with delicious lunches in the evenings. Al p feeding the brute, I turn off all tne lights except a shaded table lamp Then give it the flashing eye where upon it will immediately leap onto the davenport and euddle up beside me, just craving to be petted. A. times its training has been mo~e than trying to my patience. but now it is almost housebroke. It is very stubborn but I manage to put it out for the night by 3 a. m.
 With the spring season coming on there is a wildness that domiu- ates this animal at times and have been severely paved. l always aeep him well fed. however. and my method of training is to be warm and affectionate, but firm am confident that by next June first l shall have him so tame and sub dued that I can lead the dumb chuck into matrimony. My success in trapping such a fine animal is cue entirely to you and I ee. tinly thank you!

Springtide Renewal

TO THOSE who love to watch
the changing seasons, the
l. dawning of springtime in the
fields and woods and even along the
city streets, is ever new. Each re-
turning year one welcomes signs oil
earth's awakening-the bursting leaf
buds, joyous bird songs, the delicate
unfolding of the first wild flowers
Surely this overcoming miracle OF
spring has some significance of per-
manent value to those who love to
watch it.
Once a woman sat by her kitchen
window burdened with the languor
and WEAKNESS which she had peen
accustomed to associate with the
spring season. Outside, in her little
garden, song sparrow perched on
the fence, and the air was filled with
his CHEEKY song. Lilacs were in bud
and delicate shoots of grass were
springing up. Suddenly she remem-
bered the words of the Psalms.
Psalms 104:30), Thou renewest
the face of the earth. Thou renew
est" she thought, as she watched the
signs of joyful awakening before her.
Then she realized that she herself
needed spiritual renewal, and that in
order to experience that renewal, she
only needed to turn to God, who is
the source of all life. She only need
ed to realize that her strength, vigor.
and vitality depended upon Him, ana
not on times and seasons. The words
of the prophet Isaiah (40:31), "They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength" came to her with
deeper significance, and she found
herself suddenly rejoicing in aer
freedom from pain and WEAKNESS.
1t is related of the prophet Moses
that he was IAN hundred and twenty
years old when he died: his eye was
not dim, nor his natural force abated"
deuteronomy 34:O. AS the seasons
come and go, the human so-called
mind is apt to measure life by their
passing. But Christian Science re-
veals that mans life is not measured
by the turning of the earth on its
axis, nor by it's revolution around the
sun, for God is Life, and man reflects
Life, because he is the image and
likeness of God. AS this scientific

ing a marked improvement in farm
income, more than 5000 loans have
