The S.Q.R. Store Anaheim, California Santa Fe Purchases Promote Prosperity WHILE the Santa Fe is itself a large employer of labor—its parade in 1926 totalled $107,000,000, and its employees number more than 75,000—indirectly as a buyer of materials and supplies it helps to employment to many more. Such purchases last year exceeded $64,000. In addition it bought over $12,000,000 of new cars and locomotives. Its largest class of material was fuel, which totalled $24,360,000 consisted of about 2,267,000 tons of coal, and 507,800,000 gallons of oil. The use of coal or oil on any division is determined primarily by the cheaper fuel in that locality. The second largest class of purchases was iron and steel products which the expenditure was approximately $19,750,000. This includes expenditure of $9,500,000 for 152,700 tons of rail, frogs, switches, fastenings. $1,500,000 went for wheels, axles, and tires, and $306,000 and tubes for locomotives. Bridges, turntables, structural steel, forgirred fabricated, unfabricated, and pressed steel took nearly $3,000,000. Iron are basic necessities in railroading.

Purchases of forest products totalled $6,412,000, which included 3,000,000 cross ties, and large quantities of lumber and timbers. Creosotes its ties and much of its timbers, otherwise greater quantities be needed each year. Folders, report blanks, notices, tickets, tariffs, and various items in tionery line required $1,225,000, electrical materials $660,000, lubric oil and grease, illuminating oils, waste, etc., $1,180,000, and air brakes $617,600. These purchases were necessary to maintain the railroad property to give satisfactory service to the public. They were covered by invoices and were made from 3,347 individuals and firms. Note the spread of this buying. Thus the Santa Fe and all railroads are an important factor in taining the prosperity of our country through the employment arising these large purchases of supplies, as well as the millions directly among their own employees for services. When the railroads are doing well, they buy materials and supply a larger scale than when net revenues fall off. Money thus spends for the labor of many persons, helping merchants, farmers, etc.—your own community included. You therefore are vitally inter- W. B. STOREY, President The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway System Children Treated By Relief Group Twenty-six patients are under treatment by the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange county, it was revealed by a report made Friday at the meeting of the board of directors at St. Ann's Inn, with H. D. Riley of Anaheim, president, presiding. The report was by Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, superintendent of the association, who disclosed that 190 calls had been made during the month of September. Riley announced that a survey was being made with a view to making recommendations for school work by which patients of the association could maintain their studies. The annual meeting of the organization will be held at 8 p.m., November 3, at the city hall, Anaheim, it was announced by Riley, who pointed out that those entitled to vote would be members of the organization and those who had made a contribution of $10 or more to the Santa Ana Community Chest. Present at the meeting were Riley, Mrs. George S. Briggs, Mrs. Cood Adams, Miss Kate E. Rae, Mrs. Crowell, Miss Lillian Fitzpatrick, Miss Grace Bailey, Mrs. Anna Renner, William McKay, Miss Mathis, W. T. Brown, E. S. Morrow, Walter Gregg, Arvid Gilmount, and Horace Fine. FOREIGN LOANS In the last fiscal year, ending June 30, foreign loans and securities placed in this country by 30 foreign nations amounted to $1,134,000,000. That was a lot of money to take out of the country, and no doubt a good deal of it was invested foolishly. The process has continued without interruption until the state department is worried. That department has been acting for years as censor of foreign loans. It has acted without legal authority, but rather effectively. Bankers have usually referred to it foreign issues they propose to handle, and have dropped those which the department disapproved. It is said now that congress may be asked to give formal sanction. LOCAL BREVITIES Mrs. Fannie Lyon and Miss Margaret Higgins of Hollywood spent Sunday and Monday in town, the guests of Mrs. Helmsen. Harvesting of Orange county’s million-dollar pepper crop is still in full swing. Hundreds of workers are in the fields near Huntington Beach, Talbert, Garden Grove, and in other sections of the county. The production of peppers is Orange county’s largest truck industry. The harvest of the crop started in September, and will be finished the latter part of October. Mrs. Anne Schilcher of the Angelina hotel was the guest several days this week of Mrs. J. J. Schneider of Alta-dena. Chicken and turkey thieves made a good haul in Orange county Sunday night. Several persons reported Monday that their henchies had been visited by robbers. R. E. Landers, who resides a mile and a half west and a quarter mile north of Talbert, reported the theft of 50 Rhode Island chickens and seven turkeys from his place. With Landers’ report, the number of chickens taken from the Talbert section totalled 86, and the number of turkeys taken from the Robert Glisler ranch, and seven turkeys and 36 chickens stolen from—the Plaven ranch. John De Witt, formerly city marshal of Anaheim, died at the county hospital Friday, at the age of 61. He had been an inmate of the hospital for nine years, suffering from paralysis, caused by an injury. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Backs, Terry & Campbell’s chapel, the Anaheim Masonic lodge having charge. Mr. and Mrs. Huber Wilson of West Broadway are the happy parents of a new son and heir, who arrived at the Community hospital on Tuesday evening at 9 o'clock, weighing 8 pounds 2 ounces. Mother and child are doing well, and Huber is the proudest man in all the west country. He is passing... in this country by 30 foreign nations amounted to $1,134,000,000.

Bankers have usually referred to it foreign issues they propose to handle, and have dropped those which the department disapproved. It is said now that congress may be asked to give formal sanction to such censorship. The state department is said to be concerned not merely for the safety of American investors' money, but for the political complications with foreign governments that may result from the failure to repay these foreign loans. It is difficult for an old-fashioned student of government to see that Uncle Sam is necessarily concerned with such matters. When our government lends money to another government, the collection of it, naturally, is Uncle's business. When our citizens lend money to a foreign corporation, private or public, of their own free will, that is presumably their business. They take the same risk abroad that they would take at home. Why should anyone expect the federal government to act as collector of such loans, any more than it would act as collector of domestic private loans? This is evidently the view the Investment Bankers' Association takes of Prosperity over of labor—its payroll in employes number more than supplies it helps to furnish a year exceeded $64,000,000 cars and locomotives.

Per Pound $1.50 The Rexall Store ANAHEIM, CALIF. Heying's Pharmacy Al Ayguer BRANCH TICKET OFFICE ORPHEUM CIRCUIT VAUDEVILLE The book, according to present plans will be made available without charge to all lovers of trees, and should have the effect of bringing about a deeper appreciation of our greater natural resources, particularly the forests." The "biography" of the trees will be written for the layman and will be non-technical. It will be illustrated with drawings and photographs. Some of the trees listed for inclusion are the California buckeye, California laurel, black oak, interior live oak, coast live oak, blue oak, valley oak, tan oak, California black walnut, sugar pine, yellow pine, Digger pine, knob-cone pine, Monterey pine, red fir, white fir, Big Tree redwood, incense cedar and the Monterey cypress. Anyone who knows Mervin Pratt and Woodbridge Metcalf and who appreciates the real value of trees knows that a real treasure is forthcoming. Mr. Pratt already has published a book on ornamental trees of California, which is a splendid work of real value to those interested in landscaping and park development. The proposed volume, however, will take the reader into the realm of California's great forests and promote a closer acquaintance and appreciation of trees which may be regarded as commonplace and with which yet, strange to say, so many people are still unfamiliar. The Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Trust is making a fine contribution in agreeing to finance the publication which will be educational in nature. This book will come as a splendid follow-up to the efforts of the late beloved Charles Howard Shinn of the United States Forest Service, who will be well remembered by Record Out-Door Section readers for his series of articles, "Let's Know Some Trees," which was published originally in this paper and which later was published in pamphlet form by the United States Forest Service. Mr. Shinn perhaps did more to create a widespread appreciation of California's native trees than any other single individual. Newspapermen of the state always looked forward with keen anticipation to the brown manila envelope which came to their desks each week from North Fork, Madura county; for they knew that on opening they would find therein a sprig of incense cedar, a messenger and an envoy from California's wide open spaces. HERE'S PUBLICITY GRIST FOR THE WASTE BASKET Huge Sum Wasted By Publicity Men, Publishers Prove Writing for the public—or writing for the boss? A survey just concluded by the California Newspaper Publisher's Association revealed that thousands of dollars each week are wasted by the employers of men engaged in writing "press agent copy" which never gets into print. It looks very flattering to the boss, who inspects it in its neat mimeographed form, but represents just that much wasted overhead. Hundreds of business firms, including the motion picture companies, the investment organizations, the automobile manufacturers and the so-called "news bureau" promoted to further private interests are the worst offenders. Recently 67 members of the California Newspaper Publishers' Association mailed into their central or association office in Los Angeles the publicity stories they would have thrown into the wastebasket in one week. Most of the envelopes of so-called copy were unopened, the fate of the majority of the press agent stuff received in the average newspaper office. A tabulation revealed that 346 free space-seekers sent to these 67 papers a total of 3140 envelopes, containing 7014 mimeographed or printed sheets Doubtless, these stacks of envelopes looked very business-like to the office boss, when he saw them ready for the mail, but what good did it do? It represented $63.34 in postage alone, and made a stack of worthless mail, almost as tall as Miss Edith Allan, in the association office, who sorted and classified it. A total of $315.24 was estimated by the publishers as what it cost the freESPACE seekers that week to prepare and ship their copy to the 67 newspapers, to say nothing of the salaries they paid their press agents. Estimating that the salaries would run the total cost to more than $500 a week, and taking into consideration the 768 newspapers in California and the 17,165 in the United States, the assumption is that the total waste expense would go staggering into the millions. Commenting on the tremendous wasted expense, Ben H. Read, executive secretary of the association, said he believed few concerns that employ press agents realize the enormous amount of such material that newspapers receive. "Such executives," he said, "are shown some publicity material prepared by a publicity man and are advised it stands a chance of being printed. If they but knew the fallacy of this, they would put their publicity expense into legitimate advertising channels and not ask newspapers to donate free space. "Frankly," said Read, "it was to open the eyes of such business men that the publishers' association made its compilation of the publicity waste for..." private interests are the worst of fenders.
