TREASURY LOOKS FOR BIG TRADE INCREASE The following is printed on the front page of the New York Journal of Commerce (a rabidly anti-protectionist paper, which, during the debate on the Fordney-McCumber tariff law made daily attacks on the measure as one which would commercially isolate us, cut imports to the vanishing point and prevent European inability to export their products to this country: "Customs receipts at the various ports of the United States totaled $140,000,000 during the first 100 days of the current fiscal year. Treasury department officials are well pleased with this showing because the receipts for the same period of time during the last fiscal year totaled only $77,000,000. They declare that customs receipts are keeping up beyond expectations and find no indications any where that they will drop in the immediate future or that importation of foreign merchandise will decrease. It is pointed out that customs receipts have never heretofore averaged $1,000,000 a day. Thus far, since July 1, the receipts are $40,000,000 above such an average and department officials estimated that by the end of the fiscal year an even greater increase will be shown. "The treasury men state they have not heard of orders for foreign merchandise being cancelled, while on the contrary, information that they have received is to the effect that our trade with Europe will increase." The new tariff law took effect late in September. But for weeks prior to this there was a grand rush of importers to beat the duties and stock up under the low rates of the Democratic law. This had some effect in raising the revenues derived from Journal of Commerce and its anti-protection colleagues is that protective duties do not appear to be cutting off imports as they had foretold. One reason undoubtedly is that the importers have decided not to bite their noses off to spite their faces, but to take a small reduction in the inordinate profits they had been making under the Democratic tariff law and pay the increased duties therewith. It will be recalled that some weeks before the tariff law was enacted a large list was published by the Republicans of the senate showing the huge spread in price of imported articles between their landed prices and the prices at which they were sold to the American consumers over the counters. In the published list of some hundreds of imported articles these spreads ranged from 150 to 2300 per cent. The lists were officially authenticated, and there was no chance of their having been prepared for political effect and tampered with. It was the Republican contention at the time that the importers could well afford to pay the duties carried in the present law and still have an extremely large margin of profit on their goods. But the importers were loath to give up even the profits which the duties wiped out. Evidently they have changed their minds, and certainly there seems to be no evidence o fa curtailment of imports which will close out European exporters. As was constantly maintained by proponents of the present tariff law, it was a restrictive, not a prohibitive measure. PREPARING GREAT PARADE FOR TOURNAMENT OF ROSES Entries Outnumber Last Year Two to One the 35 years the town held. Out-of-town notably, seals have not heretofore announced their floats in the pageant. One of the most promised is to commute the first time that ever had an entry. Be dedicated to Celebrate the famous company typical of the music aspect of Hollywood.

Last year twelve by each contestantduction was based birds. This year "The treasury men state they have not heard of orders for foreign merchandise being cancelled, while on the contrary, information that they have received is to the effect that our trade with Europe will increase." The new tariff law took effect late in September. But for weeks prior to this there was a grand rush of importers to beat the duties and stock up under the low rates of the Democratic law. This had some effect in raising the revenues derived from customs, while the emergency tariff act which was in force up to the time that it was superseded by the new law, also contributed considerable to the customs revenues. The point which has surprised the PREPARING GREAT PARADE FOR TOURNAMENT OF ROSES Entries Outnumber Last Year Two to One Entries for The Tournament of Roses pageant made so far outnumber entries for previous years 1 na ratio of about two to one, indicating the largest and most gorgeous parade in A Merry Christmas TO ALL At the close of the year marked by in full recognition of the part played by our patrons and friends, the direct employees join in extending to you Season's Most Celebrations Greetings Season's Most Celebrated Greetings THE SOUTHERN COUNTRY Anaheim, Californi BRANCHES: El Monte, Cal. the 35 years the tournament has been held. Out-of-town entries are particularly notably, several cities which have not heretofore participated having announced their intention to have floats in the pageant. One of the most notable entries promised is to come from Hollywood, the first time that community has ever had an entry. This feature will be dedicated to Carrie Jacobs Bond, the famous composer, and will by typical of the music, art and cultural aspect of Hollywood. There will also be enquiries from the Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions, all three being in the pageant at the same time for the first time in hostory. The parade will move over the usual and well established route in spite of the fact that the new Tournament of Roses stadium is in the opposite part of Pasadena from Tournament park, where the afternoon program has formerly been given. This was decided because of a desire to divide the areas of congestion, the parade terminating in a different part of the city from that where thousands of automobiles would be en route for the east and west football game. Prizes for parade entries are by far the most elaborate ever offered and all indications point to a record parade attendance of more than 300,000 persons, which is the highest mark ever set by the parade. RECORDS AT EGG CONTEST KEPT ON NEW BASIS The southern California farm bureau egg laying contest has adopted a new system of keeping its records. Last year twelve birds were entered by each contestant and the pen production was based on the ten high birds. This year only ten birds are give a better basis of comparison with other contests, for instance, if it is desired to compare the production here with that of a contest where five birds constitute a pen, the average production per bird as given at this contest will be multiplied by five, while if it is desired to compare the production with contests where the production is figured on a basis of ten birds, it will only be necessary to multiply the average production records of this contest by ten. In case the number of birds in an entry falls below seven, due to mortality, that entry is disqualified. This system was adopted by the directors of the contest because it facilitates the keeping of records and provides a fairer basis of competition among all contestants. The Mitchell-Corbett well, one of the Moore.Tobias group suprised its owners by increasing its production from 300 to 1000 barrels daily. The Mitchell-Corbett well was completed at 3808 feet and is producing 28 gravity oil. In spite of all those memory courses the magazines tell about, as many men as ever forget to pay their debts.
