Exposition commissioners from Utah visited the San Diego exposition recently and approved of the site selected for an exhibit in 1915. Upon their return home they will urge the appropriation of $500,000 for a suitable exhibit in San Diego, 1915. Jose de Gracia Cruz, familiarly called "Acu," hereditary bell ringer for the mission at San Juan Capistrano, has been invited to ring the bells at the San Diego exposition, 1915. The aged man is 78 years of age and is one of the unique figures of an olden time. He is a full blooded Indian. The Monterey Bay County League sent supervisors and commissioners to San Diego recently to look over the exposition site and perfect details for an exhibit in 1915. The party was tendered a banquet at the Hotel del Coronado while in San Diego.

Gilman of Orange and the Edmund Peycke Company of Los Angeles for $9478.23, of which $8400.21 is principal and $1078.02 interest. This action was brought by Westcott as assignee of 23 orange growers who delivered oranges two years ago to Gilman's packing house at Orange. Gilman went into bankruptcy, and named the growers as creditors. The growers, however, declared Gilman was an agent of the Edmund Peycke Company of Los Angeles, and brought suit against both of them. Judge West decided that the Peycke Company was responsible. Steele Finley as referee brought in a report of the various sums due the growers, and Tuesday judgment was entered. It is understood that the Peycke Company will appeal. Scarborough & Forgy and W. H. Thomas are attorneys for Westcott and Collier & Clark for the defendants.

HANSEN TAILOR STOCK SELLING CORPORATIONS State Realty Federation Will Ask Law to Protect People From Fraud The adoption of a state law regulating stock selling corporations and other similar investment companies which have been organized and assume to rest upon real estate as a basis, is being urged by the California State Realty Federation. A number of its affiliated reality boards are already actively at work in their local fields in the investigation of local investment stock companies. This work is in line with the resolution introduced at the recent federation convention by George N. Black, of Los Angeles, which passed unanimously, and is as follows: "Whereas, A number of stock selling schemes are being offered to the public, assuming to rest upon real estate as a foundation, and Whereas, It is well known that many of these schemes are fraudulent in their nature, thereby working seriously to the injury of numerous purchasers, and reacting against legitimate real estate interests; therefore be it Resolved, That the California State Realty Federation, in eighth annual convention, at Los Angeles, October 10, 11, 12, 1912, does hereby condemn and denounce all fraudulent schemes; and be it further Resolved, That the incoming legislative committee of this California State Realty Federation be and hereby is instructed to prepare a draft of a bill to be presented at the next legislature, seeking to establish state supervision and control over such stock selling corporations; and be it further Resolved, That the local realty boards, affiliated with this federation, and where no local boards exist, the members at large, be requested to solicit the co-operation of the local newspapers in their various communities in an effort to establish some method of censorship, whereby advertisements of such stock selling schemes which appeal travel. Not only the first cost of construction but the expense of maintaining a city's streets are legitimate charges against the municipality. No town wishes to surrender the control of any of its thoroughfares to the state. The right to have a free hand in the granting or denying of franchisse for street car lines, the laying of water and gas mains and the erection of telegraph and telephone poles along its public streets is the jealously guarded prerogative of every municipality. But while the commission has decided to build the highway only to and from the limits of incorporated cities, due attention has been given to negotiations with all cities and towns that may possible be touched by the highway, to the end that such municipalities shall pledge themselves to construct the connecting link of the state highway within their limits in as good form and manner as that of the state highway to and from such town. It is significant that not a single city or town has demurred to this proposition. In many instances, the coming of the state highway, knocking at the doors of a lethargic community, has aroused it to undertake not only the permanent improvement of the "link," but to inaugurate a general campaign of street building and civic progress. DEMOCRATS WILL REVISE TARIFF Members of the ways and means committee declare that the extra session of congress promised by President-elect Wilson will take up tariff bills in the following order: Wool, cotton, metals, chemicals, sugar and rubber. With the sugar bill may be coupled the excise measure offered at the last session of the present congress. There will be a free list bill which will carry agricultural implements, fence wire, bagging and ties for baling cotton, lumber, laths and shingles, sewing machines, meats, leather, shoes and salt. The wool bill will reduce the average rate of duty on wool manufactures from 90 to 43 per cent as based is instructed to prepare a bill to be presented at the next legislature, seeking to establish state supervision and control over such stock selling corporations; and be it further. "Resolved, That the local realty boards, affiliated with this federation, and where no local boards exist, the members at large, be requested to solicit the co-operation of the local newspapers in their various communities in an effort to establish some method of censorship, whereby advertisements of such stock selling schemes which appear fraudulent or misleading, shall be rejected, and denied publicity, thereby correcting the evil at its source. "State laws that will exert control and supervise the formation of such stock selling corporations, and thus give to the investing public and the legitimate real estate investments the protection due them is much to be desired," says James G. Stafford, of Los Angeles, the secretary of the California State Realty Federation, "and in the opinion of the leading real estate men of California, this protection should be given at the earliest possible moment. "At the same time such control must not be so strict, or drastic as to react to the detriment of reputably organized and honestly conducted realty syndicates, or stock corporations," continues Mr. Stafford. "The administration of such a law should not be given over to any one man, or set of men having affiliations with any particular financial interest," continues the secretary of the State Realty Federation. "This sort of a law must be for proper administration, in the hands of an unprejudiced, unbiased, competent commission, representative of the investment interests of the state and having as its ideal the true service of the public at heart, so essential to the honest administration of any statute." Organization of the legislative committee, with Victor G. Kleinberger, of Los Angeles, as its chairman, is being perfected, and an early meeting to revise the proposed state realty license law, a draft of which was discussed at the convention, and to work out a draft of a law to meet the requirements as outlined in the above resolution, will be held, so that all will be ready for the legislature when it meets inuary. HIGHWAY THROUGH CITIES The question of jurisdiction and responsibility over those links of the state highway which might lie within the limits of incorporated cities and towns, at the outset occasioned some perplexity. But the commission promptly met the situation by determin HIGHWAY THROUGH CITIES The question of jurisdiction and responsibility over those links of the state highway which might lie within the limits of incorporated cities and towns, at the outset occasioned some perplexity. But the commission promptly met the situation by determining to adopt the fixed policy of leaving to the towns and cities which the highway might touch the building and maintenance of these connecting links. This seemed the only logical course to pursue. The use by the city of its own streets is manifestly always far in excess of any possible through or out- Free—Over 100 large Eucalyptus trees to any one who will cut them down and remove them. E. W.

PETERMANN CASH GROcery EAST CENTER STREET INFANT SNOBBERY Too often the idea of service is associated solely with paid servants, although seldom so amusingly as in the case of a little girl of whom a contributor to the English Illustrated Magazine tells. She had visited a little friend whose family did their own housework. She had a very good time and on coming home was telling her mother all about it. "But, mother, dear, they do one very dreadful thing," she concluded. "I sort of hate to tell you about it, for it is kind of cruel, and you mightn't let me go again." "Tell me," urged her mother, in some alarm. "They use their own grandmother for a cook," the little girl replied in a shocked whisper. IN THE SAME BOAT The Duke of Leeds before succeeding to his title was active in politics. Once when canvassing he came upon an English shoemaker, whose vote he solicited. "Sorry," said the shoemaker, "but I'm not going to vote for any bloomin' aristocrat. I can't afford it. I've got four children to bring up." "That's nothing," replied the duke, "I've got five, and they are all girls." The shoemaker came up and touched him on the arm. "All right, old chap," he said. "You shall have my vote. It seems to me we are both in the same boat, and we'd better stick together."
