LOST OUR RECORD The United States no longer holds the Eastern Star Ladies Enjoy Card Party Santa Ana Matron Entertains County Leaders One of the most delightful and charming luncheons of the summer season was that given Friday, when Mrs. Ada C. Walthers, worthy matron of Santa Ana chapter, Order of Eastern Star, entertained at her home. 1901 North Parton street, the worthy matrons and associate matrons of Orange county. The guests were received by the hostess, who was charming in a lavender gown. Beautiful paintings and works of art done by Mrs. Walters were greatly admired by her guests, while they were waiting for the luncheon hour. The hostess then led the guests to the beautiful Walters gardens, where a 1 o'clock luncheon was served on a massive round table, the centerpiece decoration representing Coney Island. There was the miniature lake surrounded by moss and sand, and little doll boys were seen fishing in tiny boats, while gold fish darted to and fro in the fountain. Other features of the centerpiece were the castle and the doll bathing girls on the beach with little striped umbrellas. This work of art was greatly admired by the guests. The place cards were tiny faces of bathing girls peeking over a fence. The elaborate luncheon, which was beautifully served by Mrs. Eugene Reif, Mrs. George Prather, Sr., Santa Ana, and Mrs. Joe Merrit of Los Angeles, sister of the hostess, consisted of four courses. At each place were oblong packages wrapped in the colors of the Eastern Star order and tied with rainbow ribbons. When the packages were opened by the guests, they found a fork with a hand-painted handle. These gifts were from Mrs. Walters, who also presented those who assisted her with the same gifts. After luncheon, the guests were taken to the north part of the gardens, where tables had been arranged previously for bridge and "500." At the conclusion LOST OUR RECORD The United States no longer holds the world's voting record. About 40 years ago 80 per cent of the citizens went to the polls and voted. This percentage gave us the lead. In 1920 and 1924 only about 50 per cent of the American voters exercised the right of franchise. Consequently, the United States flopped down to the tail in the list of voting nations. In the 1924 election in the House of Commons, in Great Britain, 76 per cent of the electorate exercised the right to vote, the right for which we fought Great Britain in 1776. In the first election under the institution of the German republic, 75 per cent of all Germans, 20 years of age and over, voted, and in 1924 the percentage reached a total of 80 per cent, and in the recent presidential election in April of this year the percentage reached a total of 82 per cent. The Australian average for 20 years shows that about 75 per cent of the electorate vote; while New Zealand ran 80 per cent. In the recent elections of 1923-24 New Zealand and Queensland produced a record of nearly 84 per cent. Denmark, Belgium and Holland ranged from 60 to 92 per cent, according to the election, their general average being about 75 per cent. France votes 70 per cent, owing to the electorate—that is, on the average, some districts make even a higher rating. Sweden and Norway run Belgium and Denmark a close second. In the recent election in Italy about 64 per cent of the voting population of men and women voted. Switzerland has a record of 76 per cent. Our neighbors to the north, the Canadians, have a voting average of about 70 per cent, while Cuba, just across the water from Florida, makes twice as good a showing as the Everglade state. BETTER ROADS PLANNED The boon of permanently-improved highways is in prospect for the republics of Latin-America. The first Pan-American Road Congress is to be held in Buenos Aires, capital of Argentine, early in October. An influential delegation from the United States is to attend. President Coolidge appointed the delegates. And in making the appointments Mr. Coolidge expressed the conviction that "improved means of communication is not only one of the great forces making for cultural and economic advance, but it also is one of the basic factors in the development of Pan-American unity." The influence of the American deleorge Prather, Sr., Santa Ana, and Mrs. Joe Merrit of Los Angeles, sister of the hostess, consisted of four courses. At each place were oblong packages wrapped in the colors of the Eastern Star order and tied with rainbow ribbons. When the packages were opened by the guests, they found a fork with a hand-painted handle. These gifts were from Mrs. Walters, who also presented those who assisted her with the same gifts. After luncheon, the guests were taken to the north part of the gardens, where tables had been arranged previously for bridge and "500." At the conclusion of the bride game, it was found that Mrs. Ruth Harbeson, associate matron, Anahelm, won first prize, while Mrs. Genevieve Lacy came in second award. In the "500" game, Mrs. Evelyn Beat, matron of Anaheim chapter, won high honors, while Mrs. Imogene Reif won second prize. Those enjoying the hospitality of Mrs. Walters were: Connie Adams, president of the Matron's Association of Southern California; Jean Haun, vice-president; and Ada Hockett, Redondo; Mona Tanner, Margaret Titus, Pearl Garrison, Edna Welton, Rachel Robertson, Fuller; Martha Shinn, Florence Shaw, Buena Park; Evelyn Beat, Ruth Harbeson, Anahelm; Amber Burk, Genevieve Lacy; Imogene Reif, Arnella Prather, Pearl Merritt, Santa Ana; Clara King, Dorothy Ross, Marion Parker, Julia Hillard, Huntington Beach.

California farmland enjoy 361 miles highways than according to the cultural Foundations completed in the cost a total of $federal government Highway construction now under way miles, while the previous to last. This additional venience to the godsend to the foundation. The influence of the American delegates, with interested messages from President Coolidge, Secretary of State Keilogg and Secretary of Commerce Hoover, should help greatly in giving impetus to the movement in the sister republics to the southward to construct permanent and creditable highways. The United States, although quite backward for too long a period in taking up extensively the building of permanent roadways, is in the movement now, and is expending enormous sums annually in building and maintaining roads. A real national system of highways is being established in this country. The American delegates to the South American road congress should be quite helpful to the Latin-American countries by giving them the benefit of the experience of this country in constructing and maintaining good roads. It would be immensely beneficial to the United States for Mexico and other republics of Latin-America to build extensive national systems of good roads. There should be one or more great highways leading from this country down through Mexico and Central America into South America. This would facilitate commercial intercourse between the United States and Latin-America. Automotive vehicles are to figure prominently and importantly in the commercial transportation of the future. With a network of good roads, connected up practically, uniting all the Americas, trade intercourse among all these republics of the western hemisphere would be facilitated greatly. Too many people remember to multiply their troubles, but forget to add up their blessings. Eugene (Bud) Childers is having a five days' leave from his transport and is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Childers of Eleventh street. Eugene has recently returned from the Aslatic waters. George McNell, manager of the local beet dumps, reports that about 70 carloads of beets will be shipped from here.

THE S KEEP FARMERS IN TOUCH WITH THEIR MARKETS Modern farming is becoming more scientific every year, with the result that nearly all the factors which enter into the business life of a city now play an important role in agriculture. One of these is the telephone. The American farmer has for a long period used the telephone to a greater extent than does the farmer of any other land, notwithstanding, it was not until a comparatively recent date that he has begun to realize how handy and successful a salesman the telephone really is. There is, however, no excuse for a farmer with a telephone to rely on chance in the care and sale of his crops and cattle. To illustrate: A farmer near Brainerd, Minn., was about to set out for town with his wheat when he decided to call up and inquire about the market. He did so and found the price was up, and delivered his stock at $30 o'clock in the morning and sold his hogs at the prevailing price. A half hour later, when the buyer received the market quotations, the price had dropped enough to make a difference of $30, but the agreement with the farmer was kept. The telephone had thus saved the latter $30. Such cases are constantly occurring, intelligent use of the telephone enabling the farmer to sell his products at the highest possible market price. President’s Son Goes To Training Camp President Coolidge, with his characteristic common sense, pleads with the news writers and the photographers to give his son, John, a chance to do his duty at the military training camp at Devens, Mass., where the lad goes today, without the embarrassment and handicap of distinguishment. The boy has a hard enough time as it is without being picked out everywhere he goes for separate attention. He has gone to camp merely as a young American, intent upon fitting himself for possible service to his country in case of need. He is a "man in the ranks." The role of the President's son is a difficult one. However modest and unassuming a youth may be in that situation, he is the object of marked attention, and he is subjected to a severe test. It is natural, of course, for any boy to be proud of such a position. He will prince transcendence sure the world in the Indian Detour Trips to Historic Grounds Arranged by Railroad Many thousands of tourists every year coming to California will have an opportunity to detour by motor stage and view the romantic and historic Indian grounds of New Mexico and Arizona, under arrangements being made by the Santa Fe railroad, which will provide a three-day trip embracing some 300 miles of the most interesting sections of oldest America. This is announced by James B. Duffy, general passenger agent, following receipt of the detailed outline of the new sightseeing development from W. J. Black of Chicago, passenger traffic manager. The new Indian detour rail and motor way for travelers between Chicago and California will be established by the Santa Fe in conjunction with the Fred Harvey hotel and eating house service for the coming spring and summer and will be made an all-year feature," said Mr. Duffy. This service will make it possible for many thousands to see the great wonderland in 'the New Mexico rockies, between Las Vegas and Albuquerque and COOKIES FROM THE WHEN the children romp in hungry as young bears, here are some wholesome, economical delights that will not only be California farmers and tourists now enjoy 361 miles more of federal-aid highways than they did a year ago, according to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. This mileage, completed in the year ending June 30, cost a total of $9,347,100, of which the federal government furnished $5,072,101. Highway construction under this plan now under way in the state totals 230 miles, while the total mileage completed previous to last year was 583 miles. This additional mileage, while a convenience to the tourist in the state, is a godsend to the farmer, according to the foundation. It is estimated that each and every farmer in this section of the country averages 69 tons of farm products hauled to market and 13 tons of feed, fuel, fertilizer, machinery, supplies, etc., from town. When good roads make trucks feasible this is not very burdensome, but it represents a good many hours' labor where horses and poor roads must be used. And so, while the tourist finds inter-city roads mighty comfortable, to the farmer a good serviceable road from his farm to the nearest market is a downright necessity. The expansion of hard road systems, both in this and other states in recent years, has given the farmer an added inducement for going into business for himself, the foundation states. That he has not been slow to take advantage of the opportunity is testified in the increasing number of roadside markets on the more frequented highways. Figures show that each of these markets takes in $15 to $30 up to several hundred dollars a day, varying with the locality, the preponderance of buyers being tourists driving through the vicinity. Some of these are nothing more than stands of simple board construction, while the more pretentious are housed in buildings which may be locked after the day's or the season's business. The most successful of the markets are so placed as to have convenient parking facilities where prospective buyers may examine the article of goods, which should be of good quality yet moderately priced and attractively displayed. It would be a lot harder for some people to prove that they didn't have monkey ancestors than that they have. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. Ry.

Duffy, agent, following re- outline of the new movement from W. J. passenger traffic will provide a pleasant break in the trans-continental trip to the coast, and is sure to stimulate travel from all over the world. Among the sights will be the inhabited Indian pueblos of Tesuque, Santa Clara, San Juan, Santo Domingo and other points in the picturesque upper Rio Grande valley, as well as the huge communal ruins of Paye, a cliff pueblo 20 centuries old. "The tours will be an all-expense-paid motor trip, covering nearly 300 miles, with Fred Harvey meals and hotel accommodations. Automobiles of a special design are being built for the service, insuring the maximum amount of comfort. The stages will meet the Santa Fe trains at Las Vegas and Albuquerque, at which point the Santa Fe has station hotels and where local sightseeing may be enjoyed. "Numerous optional rides also will be possible through the plans, and in addition to the exclusive tours, private cars with trained couriers will be operated." Mr. Duffy said the Santa Fe's motor transportation developments in the vicinity of Gallup, N. M., also are involved, as this is the center of the several Indian reservations and other wonders. A new motor tour of the Grand Canyon National Park, including the San Francisco opeaks and vicinity of Flagstaff, is being worked out. No railroad in America ever before has undertaken such a broad educational development, it was stated. San Pedro Banks Are Purchased by Americommercial Purchase of two of the oldest banks of the harbor district—the First National and Harbor Commercial banks of San Pedro—with total deposits in excess of three millions by the Americommercial Corporation, which recently acquired the Golden State bank here, was announced today. The Americommercial Corporation, which controls the Bank of America and Commercial National bank, and their branches, declares that San Pedro, because of its recent development, and because it is so vital to the shipping interests of the Southland, is regarded as a very desirable field for them to enter. No changes in the management or names of the San Pedro banks are contemplated, life officers, board of directors and staff continues as heretofore. The Commercial National Bank of Los Angeles now has 12 branches within the city limits, while the Bank of America has established branches at Huntington Park, Anaheim, Fullerton, Pomona and Torrance, Southern California has 69 licensed golf and country clubs.
