WITH SUFFRAGETTE BUDS Notes Called from Letter Sent Out By Their Publicity Bureau By an interesting coincidence the anti-suffragists are to speak before the Ministerial Union in Los Angeles on the day after a large per cent of the ministers of the state have agreed to give a sermon favoring the suffrage amendment. A month ago a resolution practically endorsing the movement passed the organization by a large vote. The same week a letter was sent from the political equality league to all of the ministers of the state, asking them to set aside June 25th as "suffrage sermon" day. Willingly the majority of the divinies of the state agreed to aid, not only by preaching in favor of the amendment, but by giving their support to the work in their community. And now come the anti-suffragists on June 26th with arguments why ministers should neither endorse the movement or preach upon the subject from their respective pulpits. The State Convention of Nurses meets in Los Angeles this week on Thursday. The nurses are not behind women of other professions in their interest in the suffrage movement and they have not only asked for a speaker, but for a suffrage resolution ready for endorsement. The N.E.A. is threatened, during its convention in San Francisco, with a suffrage invasion. That means the storming of a conservative organization with speakers, resolutions, and irrefutable facts. Among the last named, is the fact that ninety per cent of the educators of America are women. suffragette and a suffragist has become clear. The difference is this: A suffragette is a woman who advocates woman suffrage. A suffragist is one who possesses or exercises the political right of suffrage. Therefore, the suffragettes of California will not become suffragists until they are accorded right to exercise the ballot with the present suffragists—the voters of the state. "America is not finished yet," says Rev. O. P. Shrout of San Jose. "We are not all that we are destined to become, and in the work at hand, we need more and more the influence of her who gives to America her sons and daughters. Our purpose is not to gather the race into one church or party, but into a great and splendid civilization. Woman's suffrage is more than party; more than republicanism; more than democracy. It means civilization and race building." CONSERVING THE PUBLIC DOMAIN The United States Geological Survey is pushing steadily ahead in the classification of the public lands, pricing coal lands, recommending the restoration to agricultural entry of the lands found to be nonmineral in character, designating lands subject to enlarged homestead entry, and recommending the reservation of lands suitable for water-power sites. During the month of May the survey appraised 2,472,659 acres as coal land, with a value of $49,233,112, and 1,355,032 acres as noncoal land. Had these coal lands been appraised at the old minimum rate in force a few hind women of other professions in their interest in the suffrage movement and they have not only asked for a speaker, but for a suffrage resolution ready for endorsement. The N.E.A. is threatened, during its convention in San Francisco, with a suffrage invasion. That means the storming of a conservative organization with speakers, resolutions, and irrefutable facts. Among the last named, is the fact that ninety per cent of the educators of America are women. What can the N.E.A. do in face of such evidence but endorse the suffrage movement? The College Equal Suffrage of San Francisco is arousing attention to the suffrage movement among the school children. They have issued a call for competition in a prize essay contest, open to all children of school age. The essays are to be submitted to the public school teachers, later to the school superintendent, and finally to the judges appointed by the league. The only requisite is that the writers be members of the public schools of California, and of school age. The first Woman's City Club in the world has started in good earnest in Los Angeles, with a charter membership of five hundred and fifty members. It is a significant fact that the first regular meeting was addressed by J. H. Francis, city superintendent of schools. Commenting upon the first meeting, a Los Angeles paper has the following: "Given the right to vote, women would exercise it in all matters pertaining to the public schools, with a conscientious sense of personal responsibility men do not generally display." That is so far recognized as true that many communities, as yet opposed to "forcing" the ballot upon women, have nevertheless given them the right to vote in school elections. From the states which are already suffragized, able defense of the suffrage movement is constantly pouring into the headquarters of suffrage organizations in California. Whenever some misguided or disgruntled erstwhile citizen of Utah, Colorado or Idaho bursts into print derogatory to the suffrage cause, women of note in the misjudged states, look up records, gather together statistics, secure opinion of people "worth while", and forward the material to California. Thereupon, papers favoring suffrage yield limited space to setting the public right upon the status in general of suffrage states, and the suffrage knocker goes down to oblivion. California has laws in regard to wo- During the month of May the survey appraised 2,472,659 acres as coal land, with a value of $49,233,112, and 1,355,032 acres as noncoal land. Had these coal lands been appraised at the old minimum rate in force a few years ago ($10 or $20 an acre) their valuation would have been $35,370,766 and the present valuation therefore shows a difference in favor of the government of $13,862,346. In New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming four with drawings were made of land supposed to be underlain by coal comprising 1,443,953 acres, while in Colorado Montana, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming six restorations were made of coal land comprising 3,089,845 acres. One area of 400 acres of phosphate land in Florida was withdrawn, making the total area of phosphate land withdrawn 2,548,545 acres. Three power-site withdrawals were made, covering 9364 acres, and one restoration of 160 acres, leaving a total of 1,507,433 acres withdrawn for power sites at the end of the month. Under the enlarged-homestead act 243,788 acres were designated, making a total of 190,179,595 acres designated as enterable under the provisions of this act. It is the policy of the Geological Survey in the classification of the public lands to recommend the withdrawal of such areas as may be considered necessary from the standpoint of the federal government for the protection and conservation of its mineral and water resources; to make such withdrawals as accurately as possible, on the basis of the information available; and to make further investigations and procure additional data in order to restore if possible any areas not necessary to the protection of the people's interests. ENORMOUS WATER RESOURCES As water is a country's greatest mineral resource, the study of the water resources of any country is one of its most important investigations. The United States Geological Survey has been making a systematic study of the rivers and other water supplies in the United States and during the last 15 years has published over 250 reports presenting the results of this work. Perhaps the most important phase of the work is the measurement ing coal lands, recommending the restoration to agricultural entry of the lands found to be nonmineral in character, designating lands subject to enlarged homestead entry, and recommending the reservation of lands suitable for water-power sites.

Water-Supply Plan California has laws in regard to women that are not exactly popular with the women, or the fair-minded men of the state. A case proving such a condition has recently been brought up in Judge Monroe's court in Los Angeles, where a woman could not secure a divorce for non-support, from her husband, because she had been supporting herself. The paradox was stated in the following manner by Judge Monroe: "The law of California, a hardship though it may be, is, that the minute the wife earns money it becomes community property. Such money is as much her husband's as hers. Thus he, in law, supports her with what she hersearns, and the claim of non-support falls." If there is a town of any size in California that does not already possess that up-to-date institution, a "Woman Suffrage Organization," that particular town is laying plans to "get into the procession" and boost for the amendment. Santa Barbara has awakened to the fact that to be strictly modern—though classic—she must have suffrage meetings, fully equipped with enthusiasm and burning eloquence. The secretary of the chamber of commerce of Santa Barbara has sent to Los Angeles for literature pertaining to "Why Women Should Vote," assuring the southern suffragists that many of the foremost men of Santa Barbara are for the introduction of the woman's ballot into the body politic. At last. The difference between a ENORMOUS WATER RESOURCES As water is a country's greatest mineral resource, the study of the water resources of any country is one of its most important investigations. The United States Geological Survey has been making a systematic study of the rivers and other water supplies in the United States and during the last 15 years has published over 250 reports presenting the results of this work. Perhaps the most important phase of the work is the measurement of the flow of streams. Records of stream flow are absolutely essential to any intelligent river development, whether it be in the interest of navigation, of flood prevention, of irrigation, or of power development. In a report just issued by the Survey and dealing with the surface water supply of the Ohio River basin—Water Supply Paper 263—attention is called to the importance of long-time records of stream flow, inasmuch as all rivers vary greatly from year to year. Experience has shown that such records should cover all stages from absolute maximum to absolute minimum, and embrace periods of 5, 10 and for some streams for 20 years. These may seem at first glance excessive lengths of time for a simple determination of a river's capacity, but when the vast interests involved in river development are considered it will be recognized that enough care must be taken to obtain trustworthy information. Water-Supply Paper 263 sets forth briefly the magnitude of the more important phases of water development. Thus in the matter of inland navigation the Federal Government alone has expended in the neighborhood of $300,000,000, and prospective expenditures will approximate as much or more; it is obvious that the determination of stream flow is necessary to the intelligent direction of these large disbursements. In irrigation the United States Government is now expending on federal reclamation COULTER'S STOCK REDUCING SALE HAS Attracted Widespread Attention —because:—The Values have been Exceptional; —because:—The Reductions have been Extraordinarily Tempting; —because:—An Enviable Record for Merchandising from 1878 to 1911 has engendered Public Confidence; —because:—The Promise made was Most Unique:—“Absolutely every thing in every department of our store will be unusually underpriced, (with the single exception of a few contract lines we are, by contract, forbidden to undermark;)” —and because:—This Most Unique Promise was Most Conscientiously Fulfilled.

You’ll save your expenses, and more, on purchases made at Coulter’s.” —if unable to attend, let us know your wants by mail. —We’ve expired shoppers to attend to your orders—and we’ll prepay all charges to Anaheim or intermediate points on purchases amounting to $3 or more, within a radius of fifty miles of Los Angeles. COULTER DRY GOODS CO systems about $60,000,000, and this amount is far exceeded by the private expenditures for this purpose in the arid West. It is further obvious that the integrity of any irrigation system is based absolutely on the amount of water available. The highest use of water is that of domestic supply and in connection with this phase of the subject not only quantity but quality of water is of prime importance. In very recent years water-power has become a matter of great national moment. Before the day of improved electric transmission the importance of water power was confined largely to the locality at which it was generated, but it has now become a public utility in which the individual citizen is vitally concerned, and as the amount of water power that may be made available is dependent on the flow of rivers, the investigation of stream flow is a pre-requisite to the intelligent management of this source of energy. The drainage of the vast swamp areas of the country—approximately 70,000,000 acres—is a matter of water engineering and the study of runoff is of first consideration in connection with any drainage project. Drained swamp lands become generally the most fertile of our agricultural areas and the reclamation of the swamps of the United States should add from $2,000,000,000 to $4,000,000,000 to the Nation's assets. Finally, in the matter of flood prevention a thorough knowledge of the stream flow, both in the contributing areas and along the great lowland rivers, is the first necessity. The flood damage in the United States is estimated to be in excess of $100,000,000 annually. Water-Supply Paper 263, which is the third volume issued under purchases made at Coulter's." A short passage of antiphonal choral writing leading up to a tremendous climax gradually falling toward the close into tranquil harmonies to the accompaniment of a harp is full of interest. Mr. Podbertsky, the author of "Barbarossa," was a guest last winter of some of the larger German societies in the east. He is a great favorite among German singers, and this work in particular finds great favor with choruses, owing to the graphic manner in which the tonal language excites the hope of Germany being a united country, as it is today and this composition is worthy of a place in modern choral literature. A capella number, light and airy, "Margret," by Conductor Schoenefeld, will add to the beauty of the program. The musical numbers are of such value that the auditorium in Los Angeles should be filled with music lovers, even without the added diversion and interest of the gymnastic exhibition under Prof. Ross. The youngsters will have a chance in this part of the work, as it shows the physical training step by step, where one can follow the development of the system of German body culture which means so much in this modern generation.

He neither looks nor pitches as he did during the campaign of 1910, nor is he apt to until he recovers his vitality. His recent sickness has left him weak and he shows it in his work. "That terrific speed which made Johnson a great pitcher is not apparent this season. His work is only ordinary these days, and he is being hit harder than he ever was during the former three seasons he has been a member of the Washington team. Johnson in his present condition is of little or no service to the team. He may show a flash now and then, but that consistent effectiveness which made him famous is lacking, and it might be good policy to allow him to go home for several weeks of rest. The work that Johnson is now doing is forced, and a pitcher who forces himself is always in danger of injuring his arm."
