SHRINERS INVADE SO. CALIFORNIA Kansas Band Entertains People of Anaheim Wednesday Yellah! Yellah! Yellah! Yessuly Mohammed Allah karim! From thousands of faithful throats all over the Southland the welcoming cry for the conquering hosts of el-Islam is being raised as the gorgeous caravans of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine wend their way through our cities toward their mecca Los Angeles, where the hosts of the Faithful have pitched their tents and kindled their fires for their fifty-first conclave this week. Anaheim Nobles brushed up their tuxedos, polished their selmitars, put on their fezes and trekked to the camp of the Faithful to help in the welcome of strangers. Wednesday morning 35 Nobles, comprising the Shrine band from Midian Temple, Wichita, Kansas, led by Noble O. M. Brower of Anahelm, a former member of the band, toured Orange county, giving a concert in front of the Anaheim city hall. Founded at New York, in September, 1872, the Ancient Arabic Order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America, now has a membership of 583,413, or did have at the time of the last official tabulation by the Imperial Council. Imperial Potentate Chandler, in his proclamation of greetings to the Nobility, on the eve of their conclave in Los Angeles this week, talks of 600,000 Shriners and probably his round numbers come nearer to the mark than the figures of actual record, for not a week passes that some of the 147 temples in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Panama Canal Zone and Hawaii does not take in new initiates. This is the host whose gorgeously uniformed patrols annually present a spectacle as resplendent, as singular and perhaps as characteristic of modern American life as anything to be seen in the country. This year Los Angeles is their camping ground, their playground. MEXICO SHOWS INDUSTRIAL GAIN Impressive evidence of how Mexico is getting back to prosperity and industry comes from Manual, a town on the Monterey railway line where Americans have established a considerable colony. Three years ago there was no commercial agricultural activity in the neighborhood of Manuel, and what little planting was done was for the individual use of the planters. Today 5000 acres at Manuel are under cultivation, raising cotton, flax, snap beans, onions and tomatoes, all being raised for the Tampico, Monterey and Mexico City markets, as well as for export, in addition to far more agricultural production for the planters' own uses than formerly. John I. Newell, one of the Manuel planters is authority for the statement that within a short while Manuel will be the center of 150,000 acres of land cultivated for commercial production. "What is happening at Manuel is a fair sample of what is happening and will happen in many other places," Mr. Newell says. "And we at Manuel feel that the more communities are similarly developed the better it will be for all of us and all of Mexico. At Manuel most of the land was either unproductive or producing only in a small way, but now it is being systematically developed for commerce. "A good gin has been erected, the needs of the market, especially the Mexican market, have been investigated. We know what we are shooting at and feel confident of the reward of prosperity." Take flax, for example. We have discovered that there is a splendid market for flax in Mexico, and several linseed oil factories. The demand at present is above the supply, and we are preparing to meet a part of it. But we feel the demand will grow as rapidly as the supply can for a good many years. Fourteen Americans now have 5000 acres under cultivation at Manuel, besides what Mexican farmers are raising. In addition to that development, 10,000 acres already has been laid out to support California's Shrine Over $234,000. California upholds exports state when $234,634,210 forms in 1-24 according by the department state finished in various states of California for export markets the heels of Illinois ceeded that of California $5,000,000. Total for the year amounting to over $737,218,927; No Pennsylvania $239,714,270; Cali New Jersey $229,847,224; Mi Virginia $130,198,362; and Massachusetts disc valuations of soita with shipment 490, was just outstretched while Nevada, wit to but $233,413, bring the entire list. This is the first of government training to Dr. Julius. the eve of their conceive in Los Angeles this week, talks of 600,000 Shriners and probably his round numbers come nearer to the mark than the figures of actual record, for not a week passes that some of the 147 temples in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Panama Canal Zone and Hawaii does not take in new initiates. This is the host whose gorgeously uniformed patrols annually present a spectacle as resplendent, as singular and perhaps as characteristic of modern American life as anything to be seen in the country. This year Los Angeles is their camping ground, their playground, their show ground. To welcome them is a pleasure and to entertain them has grown to be an honor. "Why the Shrine languished for many year," says a semi-official memoir in Aladdin's Lamp, "and then grew with such phenomenal speed it is not disclosed in its official records." Doubtless not, but it is sufficiently indicated in its history and the official definitions of its origins, spirit, scope and activities. The founders, we are told, were "Billy" Florence, author, actor, jester and bon vivant; Dr. Walter M. Fleming, distinguished Masonic scholar, and "an ardent group of Masons and good fellows." "Admittedly," continues the memoir. "the original work of the Shrine was purposely humoresque, but it is incorrect to call it the playground of Masonry, for Masonry has no playground. The correct statement is that it is the playground of Masons." The distinction is perfectly logical, but the line of thin accuracy which it draws is one easily leaped by the imagination and nothing was more natural for the members of an order that has no playground—American members—than to welcome the discovery of a private preserve, outside the order but inside the membership. We Americans are a nation of "joiners." We love honorific titles, ritual, pomp, ceremony—and fun. An order that permitted us to indulge our weakness and still laugh at the indulgence while enjoying it was made to order for a people whose "humoresque" tendencies find their most characteristic expression in solemnly satiric exaggerations. But there came a time when certain moving spirits in the new order began to wonder if it did not run some danger of being "dismissed" in the language of the Imperial Potentate, "as a mere group prompted by frivolous impulses." Five years ago, at Portland, Ore., then the seat of the Imperial Conclave, Potentate W. Freeland Kendrick, now mayor of Philadelphia and representative ad vittam from Lu Lu Temple of that city, struck a note exactly tuned to fill a chord in which something was felt to be lacking. Its overtones set tingling the sympathetic vibrations of the entire Nobility. He proposed the hospital foundation for crippled children on which the Shrine is now spending annually more than $1,000,000. It was an inspiration We are a practical and an ironic people, "Take flax, for example. We have discovered that there is a splendid market for flax in Mexico, and several linseed oil factories. The demand at present is above the supply, and we are preparing to meet a part of it. But we feel the demand will grow as rapidly as the supply can for a good many years. Fourteen Americans now have, 5000 acres under cultivation at Manuel, besides what Mexican farmers are raising. In addition to that development, 10,000 acres already has been laid out to support a colony of Mennonites from Canada. On a much larger tract at Chocoy the beginnings of an important German colony have been established Allison W. Smith and Will Allison Tampico oil men, have subdivided another hacienda of 12,000 acres, which will be sold to Tampico Americans and Englishmen exclusively. Many men who came to Mexico to make their fortunes in oil have become convinced that Mexican agricultural land is far better gamble. At the present time an enormous dam is being built in Egypt to irrigate land to meet the growing world demand for cotton. The Laguna district of Mexico has shown that Mexican cotton is a real rival to Egyptian cotton. Every bale Mexico had for export this year was eager bought by Europe. There are millions of acres in Mexico which, without irrigation, will produce as fine cotton as that Egyptian land will after that dam is built." BIG SUM PAID FOR CAPISTRANO RANCH The Capistrano district was boosted as a coming Valencia orange growing section with the purchase by Roy J. Smith of Capistrano of 70 acres of land there at a reported consideration approximating $70,000. The land, bought in two parcels, was sold by the Rock Springs Land and Cattle Company, through the Howard A. Williams real estate agency at Orange. The property lies on both sides of Trabuco creek, immediately adjoining ranches owned by Judge R. Y. Williams and Guy Williams. It is unimproved. One of the tracts is of 40 acres and also adjoins the 40-acre orange ranch of Smith. The other, 30 acres, is located near by. Smith has been one of the most successful growers of Valencias in the Capistrano district, and his grove of trees, 11 years old, is said to have returned last year an average of 12 boxes to the tree. According to report, Smith will at once proceed to the development of water for his new possessions and to prepare it for planting in Valencias. It is declared that it has been demonstrated that Capistrano lands are well adapted, and that climatic conditions there are ideal for the growing of Valencias. Committee Named By Persimmon Men On Tuesday evening exercises. These efforts to demonstrate successful work carried during the past few exercises, pupils were invited to participate in which they qualified with some foreigners who worked in this school just past.

Another class He proposed the hospital foundation for crippled children on which the Shrine is now spending annually more than $1,000,000. It was an inspiration. We are a practical and an ironic people, but we are also both generous and sentimental. In five short years eleven orthopedic hospitals have risen as monuments to a "philosophy that permits men to unite in the frank democracy of boyhood and yet retain the dignity or manhood"—an order of "good fellows," and something more. Already 5000 children crippled from birth have been taught to stand and walk. They are of all races, all faiths, united only in poverty and misfortune. Mobile units have been established, new hospitals are being built and all are flanced and operated solely out of Shrine monkeys. They form, it has been said, the heart of the Shrine. Always a pleasure to frolic with the Shrine, it is they that made its formal entertainment an honor as well. UNITED STATES IS MOST PROSPEROUS Wealth of the 12 leading nations in the world is figured as follows: United States $320,803,000,000 United Kingdom 83,840,000,000 France 67,710,000,000 Germany 35,700,000,000 Spain 29,319,000,000 Italy 25,986,000,000 Canada 22,095,000,000 India 21,960,000,000 China 19,687,000,000 Poland 17,000,000,000 Argentina 13,178,000,000 Ireland 13,020,000,000 There is no present figure for Russia, which in 1922 stood fourth n rank with a wealth of $56,140,000,000. No figures have been available since the revolution. Australia's wealth is placed at $9,689,000,000, giving the commonwealth thirteenth place. Committee Named By Persimmon Men Local persimmon growers are advised that the headquarters of the Persimmon Growers' Association of Southern California is to be at the office of the farm advisor in Santa Ana. Members of the newly organized executive committee of the association are follows: J. E. Doty, Goleta, Santa Barbara county; R. A. Gates, Ojal, Ventura county; S. E. Goodall, Owensmouth, and W. R. Ellott, Monrovia, Los Angeles county; A. F. Manz, La Habra, G. W. Sherwood, Fullerton, A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, and E. A. Watson, Tustin, Orange county; G. W. Thomas, Arlington, Riverside county. The committee organized by the election of G. W. Sherwood as chairman. A. J. McFadden as vice-president and A. J. McFadden as vice-chairman, and E. A. Watson as secretary-treasurer. 20 YEARS AGO IN MOTORDOM From the files of the Automobile Club of Southern California. A motorist was arrested on the outskirts of Los Angeles three days after his alleged violation of the city speed limit of 15 miles an hour. In court, the "speed cop" declared he couldn't propel his bicycle fast enough to catch the offender on the day the infringement happened. The fine was $15. "The automobile is getting to be almost as common in Fresno as the bicycle," reported a newspaper of that city 20 years ago. Now there is at least one automobile for every three persons in Southern California. ORDINAL AN ORDINANCE DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER NEW TISEMENTS STREETS OF HEIM.

This state finished in fifth position of the various states of the Union in the race for export markets, closely following on the heels of Illinois, whose record exceeded that of California by less than $5,000,000. Total exports of all states for the year amounted to $4,498,151,936. Totaling more than half of the state's exports for the year, mineral oils (crud and refined) and fruits, valued at $88,519,388 and $54,208,400, respectively, bore the brunt of the struggle for supremacy in securing foreign trade, and assisted in obtaining the markin of $11,000,000, which California secured over New Jersey. Other commodities which helped materially in keeping California well up among the leaders are barley, grain, valued at $10,504,375; unmanufactured cotton, $8,746,326; canned fish, $7,273,626; machinery, except agricultural, $5,082,197; chemicals and allied products, $4,950,234; boards, planks and scantlings, $4,390,645; and agricultural machinery, $818,551. Eleven states showed an export trade amounting to over $100,000,000 for the year. They were Texas, with figures of $737,218,927; New York, $731,593,562; Pennsylvania, $293,299,153; Illinois $239,714,270; California, $234,641,210; New Jersey, $223,921,264; Louisiana $222,847,224; Michigan $177,876,654; Virginia $130,198,225; Ohio $133,654,362; and Massachusetts, with merchandise valuations of $114,418,430. Minnesota, with shipments valued at $99,880,490, was just outside of the first eleven while Nevada, with exports amounting to but $233,413, brought up the rear of the entire list. This is the first time in the history of government trade statistics, according to Dr. Julius Klein, director of the heimany poster or other notice or advertisement. SECTION 3.

Another class in this school, under the supervision of Miss Leonora Clark, enrolls more advanced students who have had only meager educational opportunities. These young fellows have been studying the grammar of the English language, hoping to make themselves more proficient in its use. They have also enjoyed with Miss Clark some of the fine pieces of literature in Engl- lish. One has only to listen to these young fellows recite some of the great poems they have learned during the work to know that the study has brought to them a genuine appreciation of the great ideals of our country. One young fellow, Mr. Ramos, has learned the long poem, "A Song of the Wage Slave," by Robert Service, because he enjoys its rhythm and sentiment and wishes to make it part of himself.
