LEARNING FROM OUR OVERSEAS GUESTS Differ though they may on other points, nearly all visitors from foreign lands agree on the marvel of our material advancement and prosperity. A recent British sojourner, himself a director of more than one large enterprise, remarked in a spirit of what must have been exaggeration that he felt like a pauper here. But in all soberness he added that the standard of living for the workingman is at least twice as high as for a man of the same type in Great Britain. Another visitor commented on the lack of class distinctions in dress, an evidence of democracy and relative well-being which Americans accept as a matter of fact. But the most frequent comment has to do with the widespread ownership of automobiles. Bertrand Russell, the English exponent of utopianism, has not as yet said much about the poverty of the American working classes, as the result of his recent visit, although he dreads the conquest of Europe and the Near East by what he calls the American empire of finance. This financial empire, he says, will "make life everywhere ugly, uniform, laborious and monotonous." A mere American is a little puzzled at this indictment. Do our mechanics with their eight hour day and their Saturday afternoon and Sunday outing in the family bus live an existence so much more "ugly, uniform, laborious and monotonous" than that of the unemployed British hand, or of the Russian proletarian driven by the most relentless of autocracies to slave in industries whose efficiency has vanished? As for the extension of the American empire of finance to the Near East, it is difficult to conceive how of socialism, to the empty shell of knowing that he is largely condemned by his surroundings. Socialism may not feed his belly or hand him even an old tin bus, but it does no doubt relieve his feelings. We can only thank Providence in all humility that our diet is more nourishing. BUSINESS CONDITIONS A moderate recession of business activity appeared in this district during May. Declines in production, noted during March and April, continued and the first evidences of a decline in the distribution and consumption of goods were observed. Instead, however, of the increase in demand by business men for bank accommodation which has heretofore characterized the beginning of a major decline, the credit requirements of business in the district have recently diminished promptly with the decline in trade activity, indicating that there are no large stocks of goods being withheld from the market and carried by means of bank loans. Accompanying the diminishing demand for bank credit, interest rates at the banks have eased slightly. The trend of prices was downward during the month, continuing a movement begun in February. Foremost among the factors contributing to this decline in business activity have been the falling off in building permits which in May were 13 per cent less than a year ago but were still in relatively large volume; the hesitancy in the market for lumber, following several months of large production, the unsatisfactory condition of growing crops, which in every state of the district except Arizona are reported to have suffered a material degree from lack of seasonal rainfall; the problems facing copper mines because current production cannot be sold at portunity so to adhere to meet such temples now prevail in situations." In the latter part there is the suggestion rates should temporary condition application of the rate in some cases "what the traffic rule was originally ago, a resourceful changed the quote the traffic will be." From the begin railroad transport practice of roads as a view to develop their territory In an industry or savers rates have been able instances however, which revision of changes on sit at Washington if not impossible meet temporary time an application could be made, durings held and a temporary condition sed and the proper entirely improper President Coolidge far as possible, should be made to dition as has occurred months in the most agricultural product taken by the R convention in the platform wherein "We believe that ple demand, and and scientific re road rate schedule the encouragement basic industries with their eight hour day and their Saturday afternoon and Sunday outing in the family bus live an existence so much more "ugly, uniform, laborious and monotonous" than that of the unemployed British hand, or of the Russian proletarian driven by the most relentless of autocracies to slave in industries whose efficiency has vanished? As for the extension of the American empire of finance to the Near East, it is difficult to conceive how the peasant of that region could be much worse off than under his admittedly age-long succession of oppressors. The American farmer may be badly off at times, but at least he does not run the risk of massecre every time a hostile political, national, religious or racial group takes it into its head to pull off a little raid. Only scholars delving in statistical mazes can say whether the peculiar and extraordinary degree to which the great masses of this country enjoy the comforts of life is due to our superior natural resources, the genius of the people themselves or the favored position in which we were left by the war. The position of certain of our Latin neighbors shows that the part played by mere resources does not tell the whole story. Whatever our defects, there is no taking away from us the proud boast that to a degree beyond all previous experiences in the whole world we are widening the gap between what a man's wage amounts to and the cost of the bare necessities of life. We know that the wage earner's budget shows a rising share which goes not to food and shelter, but to clothing and sundries. In reality labor here is rapidly establishing for itself a new social position. It is ceasing to be identical with the poor, a sameness of estate which is as old and until very recently as settled as the history of mankind. Labor no longer of necessity lives in mean streets and bare huts. As President Coolidge has said: "The rewards of labor engaged in commerce, transportation and industry are now such as to afford the most liberal participation in all the essentials of life. What this tremendous opportunity now held by the wage earner, if wisely and justly administered, will mean to the well being of the nation is almost beyond comprehension." Perhaps there are those who will not agree with the brightness of the picture which Mr. Coolidge paints. There are yet many underpaid workers. But denial that the standard of activity have been the falling off in building permits which in May were 13 per cent less than a year ago but were still in relatively large volume; the hesitancy in the market for lumber, following several months of large production, the unsatisfactory condition of growing crops, which in every state of the district except Arizona are reported to have suffered a material degree from lack of seasonal rainfall; the problems facing copper mines because current production cannot be sold at prices favorable to the high cost producers; and the hampering effects of the hoof and mouth disease of livestock in parts of California; a factor of declining importance as eradication of the disease progresses. Notwithstanding these unfavorable influences, figures or debits to individual accounts (bank debits), which afford the best single available index of business conditions in this district, declined only slightly during May, 1924, both as compared with April, 1924 and May 1923. (Allowance being made for changes due to seasonal variation and normal year to year growth.) Irregularity in the wholesale trade situation has persisted, and 9 of the 11 lines of business reporting to this bank showed decreases in value of sales during May, 1924, as compared with May, 1923. It should be noted however, that wholesale prices today are approximately 5.7 per cent lower than a year ago. Sales of retail dealers were also slightly smaller than a year ago, the value of sales of 35 department stores in 7 cities of the district being 0.6 per cent less than in May, 1923. While sales of these stores decreased, stocks held by them increased, so that the annual rate of stock turnover indicated by the relation between sales and stocks in May 1924, was but 2.88 compared with an indicated annual rate of 3.16 in May, 1923. Increases in the number and liabilities of business failures both as compared with one month ago and one year ago were reported during May. Decreased demands for credit in the district have been reflected during the past month in a decline of $13,000,000 or 1.3 per cent in total loans of reporting member banks, of $9,000,000 or 2.5 per cent in their investments, and of $80,000,000 or 34.8 percent in their borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank. Total discounts of the Federal Reserve Bank at $33,000,000 on June 18th, were lower than at any time since Auril, 1918 and total earning assets were down to levels appropriate to their making.

What this tremendous opportunity now held by the wage earner, if wisely and justly administered, will mean to the well being of the nation is almost beyond comprehension." Perhaps there are those who will not agree with the brightness of the picture which Mr. Coolidge paints. There are yet many underpaid workers. But denial that the standard of living is rapidly advancing must be made in face of an impressive array of optimistic facts patent to any man who looks out upon the world. Few deny that the experiment of the United States is justifying itself in a material sense, but it is suggested that our very well being has deadened spiritual aspiration. As for that, one wanders just what aesthetic satisfaction the wage earner gets from saying that he lives under a socialistic government, when he has no job, no prospect, even, of an automobile, and very little to eat. The socialist schemes so much tried out or so much talked about in Europe have at least this advantage over our American system of government and way of life, that the individual is not expected to find fault with himself, but with his surroundings. Here in this country discontent must from the nature of things be very largely with oneself. Our system of high wages the rapid passage from one class to a higher of great portions of the people and the steady growth of industry, all these place upon the man himself the main responsibility for his own comfort and contentment. There are other countries where amusement is more poorly repaid, where opportunity beckons in less myriad forms. The European wage earner is entitled at least to the hollow husks Decreased demands for credit in the district have been reflected during the past month in a decline of $13,000,000 or 1.3 per cent in total loans of reporting member banks, of $9,000,000 or 2.5 per cent in their investments, and of $80,000,000 or 34.8 per cent in their borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank. Total discounts of the Federal Reserve Bank at $33,000,000 on June 18th, were lower than at any time since Auril, 1918 and total earning assets were down to levels approached only once, in the spring of 1922, since the summer of that year. Interest rates at the principal financial centers of the district in general declined slightly during May and early June.* Rates charged customers on ordinary commercial loans are now uniform at 6 per cent except in San Francisco where the prevailing rate is 5 to 6 per cent. Effective June 10, 1924, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco reduced its rediscount rate from 4 1/2 to 4 per cent. The 4 1/2 per cent rate had been in effect since March 31, 1923. WOULD ALTER RAILROAD RATES TO AID INDUSTRY The Republican platform, like President Coolidge's address to Congress, takes a constructive view of the railroad problem and proposes adjustment of rates with a view to favoring agriculture or any other industry suffering from a temporary depression. In his message to Congress last December President Coolidge said in discussing the railroad question: "Unless the government adheres to the rule of making a rate that will yield a fair return, it must abandon rate making altogether. Consolidation appears to be the only feasible method for the maintenance of an adequate system of transportation with an op- carnival, aquatic sports fireworks display at Lake and Fairmont bride is under the Southern California assisted by the parens committee.

Wayne Andrews, a minor, will sell, at private sale, to the highest bidder upon the terms and conditions hereinafter mentioned and subject to confirmation of the above named Superior Court on or after the 20th day of June, 1924, at ten o'clock in the forenoon of said day, at the office of Welsol & Stark, Room 2, Golden State National Bank Building, in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, all the right, title, interest and estate of the said H Wayne Andrews, in and to all that certain real property situated in the County of Orange, State of California, and particularly described as follows, to wit: An undivided one-half interest in the East twenty-five (25) acres of the Southwest quarter (SW) of the Northeast quarter (NE) of Section Eight (8), Township Four (4) South Range Ten (10) West SR B & M sum of $16,000.00, the aggregate principal sum of said unpaid notes and interest thereon from January 1st, 1924, and all other sums secured by said Deed of Trust immediately due and payable, and did on said March 5th, 1924, execute a written Declaration of the above mentioned default under and pursuant to the provisions of said Deed of Trust, and on said March 5th, 1924, did make demand in writing that said Orange County Title Company sell all the property described in said Deed of Trust under the terms thereof and in the manner therein specified, to accomplish the objects of the Trusts created by said Deed of Trust, and on said March 5th, 1924, delivered said Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale to said Orange County Title Company, and WHEREAS, said W. H. Swett and E. H. Metcalf thereafter on March 12th, 1924, did cause to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of Orange County, California, a notice of the above mentioned breach and default in the payment of said note for $400.00 maturing January 1st, 1924, and notice of their election to cause the said Orange County Title Company to sell all the property described in said Deed of Trust after three months shall have elapsed following the recordation of said notice, to satisfy the said obligations evidenced by said unpaid notes and secured by said Deed of Trust, WHEREAS, more than three months have now elapsed since the recording of said notice and the said sums and obligations secured by said Deed of Trust remain unpaid. NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to said notice recorded March 12th, 1924, and to said demand of March 5th, 1924, and in accordance with the terms and under the authority of the bereinabove mentioned Deed of Trust NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Orange County Title Company will on the 12th day of July, 1924, at the hour of eleven o'clock A.M. at the South front door of the Court House in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, by virtue of the authority vested in it as Trustee, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, lawful money of the United States, all of the real pro- should be made to relieve such a condition as has existed for several months in the marketing of certain agricultural products. This view was taken by the Republican National convention in the adoption of its platform wherein it said: "We believe that the American people demand, and we favor, a careful and scientific readjustment of railroad rate schedules with a view to the encouragement of agriculture and basic industries without impairment of the railroad service." In accordance with President Coolidge's recommendation resolutions were introduced in both Houses during the recent session of Congress directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to adjust rates to meet temporary conditions. The Senate resolution in particular mentioned agriculture although its language was broad enough to cover rates on all commodities. This would be necessary for if the rates on one commodity are reduced rates on other commodities must be increased in order that the railroad may have sufficient revenue to pay their expenses. A conference committee of the two houses agreed upon the terms in which the resolution should be stated, but the conference report was defeated by a filibuster, and therefore, no final action was taken. It is apparent, however, that the President and Congress are in harmony on the proposition that rates should be adjusted so that on any class of commodities rates shall not be more than the traffic will bear. HISTORIC PAGEANT, RODEO The Fourth of July program which is being arranged at Riverside promises to be one of the most attractive and unique in the history of entertainment in California. The scope of the program ranges from horse races and rodeo events, athletic sports and clown stunts at the fairgrounds, to patriotic services, spectacular water carnival, aquatic sports and mammoth fireworks display at Greater Fairmont Lake and Fairmont Park. This celebration is under the auspices of the Southern California Fair Association assisted by the park board and citizens committee. The racing program at the fair grounds includes some of the fastest horses in California. There will be four harness and four running events, with a mule race, a cowboy race and a boy's and girl's pony race. There NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY BY TRUSTEE UNDER DEED OF TRUST WHEREAS, S.
