Good management should be practiced in the business government the same as it is in private enterprises and in thrifty households. Good music makes one forget cares, worries, weariness, and all sordid and petty things. It wafts one into a new and brighter realm of feeling and impulse. President Harding, in his message to congress, and Herbert C. Hoover, in a public address, said that the country is already entering upon more prosperous times. The number of unemployed gradually is being diminished. Industry slowly is reviving. Business is feeling the impulse of betterment. Eastern men of affairs, in California for the winter, corroborate these assurances of economic improvement. This trend toward thriving is good cheer tonic for the whole country. MILK RECORDS OF COWS REMARKABLE A young California cow, Lulu Mayflower, bred by the University of California, has been accorded the distinction of grand championship of the international live-stock exposition, in Chicago. The University of California won a similar championship in 1918 and lesser championships in 1919 and 1920. This donates the high excellence attained in this state in the breeding of milch cattle. In milk production California has a cow, Tilly Alcartra, which holds high championship standing. Development of dairy cattle in this state is of big economic importance. Dairy interests are extensive. But dairying has not been developed to the full limit of its profitable possibilities, by any means. As the state increases in population, its own needs of dairy price increase. Other states too could be supplied milk and butter freely, provided there for supplying that provender for sents a serious profit and more land is brought under irrigation, the feeding should become less expensive.

It reads a bit like fantasy—that prediction of Stefansson the celebrated Arctic explorer, to the effect that the future meat supply of the world will be produced among the reindeer herds of northern Canada. He says that Canada has 2,000,000 square miles of grazing land, and that immense region is capable of producing 50,000,000 reindeer. Stefansson sees in the importation of 560 reindeer from Norway into Baffin's Land, an island in the polar regions north of the Canadian mainland, the beginning of this extensive production of reindeer for meat. The late Franklin K. Lane, while secretary of the interior, gave interested attention to the possibilities of growing reindeer extensively in Alaska for meat. Hence the Stefansson suggestion does not come as wholly new. Stefansson says there are wider areas in the far north than generally known where ths summers are as warm as in Manitoba, the Dakotas or Montana and where vegetation grows. This he argues will be the source of the world's future supply of meat. Whatever the value of this opinion, it at least is interesting. A saving of $500,000,000 is to be effected in governmental expenditures, if budget limits are observed scrupulously by Congress. But there's the "rub." The budget is in greatest danger from those who should be its best friends. Public sentiment, however, should have effect in impelling congressmen to respect the budet.g With bigger and better stocks on hand than in any season past and at prices which in some instances are 50 per cent less than those of December, last year Anaheim merchants are doing a business, which even in cash receipts is generally improved over 1920. The improvement is not uniform—that could hardly be expected, because some goods have depreciated in cost hardly at all—but the trend of trade as a whole is better. Patrons are shopping earlier, also in order to get the best selections of goods available. There are some exceptions to this, of course, because buyers have a way of purchasing some articles earlier than others, but the rule holds. Another feature of the buying is that Anaheim is drawing trade not only from the smaller towns which find this city most convenient, but from towns at a distance. For example, the city gets some trade from as far as Huntington Beach and Long Beach, and not alone from Fullerton, Orange, Placentia, etc. Many articles, such as certain dress goods, of fine quality were not to be obtained at any price a year ago, according to F. A. Yungbluth, proprietor of the men's clothing and haberdasher shop. Yungbluth, while admitting that business was excellent, found like some that the nearly double volume of trade necessary to bring up receipts to the 1920 mark, because of cheaper prices,cuts into the improvement which might have been made. Kurt Epstein, manager of Falkenstein's, said shopping started earlier this year and was unusually active. Shoppers have discovered that it is very much to their own advantage to buy early, said Epstein, because they have the pick of the store and can purchase in comfort. As an example of price decreases, Epstein said that certain cotton goods which sold a year ago at 50 and 60 cents a yard were bringing but 20 to 25 cents this year. Women's coats which sold at $50 to $100 are bringing $24 to $50 this year. Sidney Prince, of The Prince Store, said he had never handled any expensive goods. The Christmas trade is not yet at its height, said O. W. Heying of the well known drug concern. Business is exceptionally good, fully as good as 1920, a banner year. The publication this year, said Heying, have a better and bigger variety of goods from which to choose. F. C. Eisenbauer, of the Anaheim Pharmacy, said that while prices were not much lower than last year, the quality of goods was so much better that the public was getting higher values for their money. The concern does a good holiday business in perfumes, stationery, ivory goods, etc. GUARDS ARRIVE; CHECK AMAZON ARMY PITTSBURG, Kan., Dec. 15—Rioting in the southern Kansas coal fields by the "Amazon army," appeared checked, at least temporarily, with arrival of National Guard troops in the disturbed district today. Sheriff Milt Gould of Stafford-co received word that several hundred women were mobilized at Cherokee and are gathered about a mine here, but are not staging an offensive against workers. Franklin, heretofore headquarters of the "Amazon army," also was reported quiet. A saving of $500,000,000 is to be effected in governmental expenditures, if budget limits are observed scrupulously by Congress. But there's the "rub."

Women's coats which sold at $50 to $100 are bringing $24 to $50 this year. Sidney Prince, of The Prince Store, said he had never handled a prettier or better lot of goods than this year. Stocks also are in a much bigger variety than a year ago. Trade is steadily improving, he said, and he looks for a 50 per cent increase over the business in 1920. At the same time, he added, goods were very much cheaper. Prince advises patrons to come earl yand get their pick of goods. Joseph Kustiner of Kustiner's has been in business here only six months and has no basis for comparison. Ordinarily, he said the Christmas trade does not get into full swing until the middle of December. But there are many early shoppers already aboard he added. The early shopper, of course, got the service as well as the selection from stocks. Dunham & Knipe, who deal in graphophones and records, etc., also were not in a position to make a safe comparison. Business is much better with the firm than a year ago, but then they had not been in operation long enough to be very well known, said A. H. Knipe. The public is shopping early, and spending quite freely, said Knipe. L. B. Weber, whose business is musical instruments, books and notions, was most optimistic. He said that despite the fact that goods were selling at half last year's prices in many cases, cash receipts were far ahead of 1920. There is also a bigger and better variety of goods, he said. O. H. Renner, manager of the S. Q. R. Store, declared the holiday trade was much better, and this in spite of lower prices. For instance, an overcoat which retailed at $65 a year ago, now sold at $35; good shoes that brought $10 at $7:50; and other lines at less. Nevertheless Renner said his store was able to show a better trade both in volume of sales and in receipts. The store has installed an electric cash carrier to ensure quicker service. George L. Jones, manager of Chaffee's, emphasized the way candy, especially, had come down. Prices on good chocolates literally have been cut in two, said Jones, while sugar is cheaper than in a long while. The store is one of the few groceries which does a holiday business, such as packing California fruits and nuts, and trade has jumped 50 per cent; Jones said. Kitchen's dealers in staple and fancy groceries are doing an excellent Christmas business, according to G. E. Kitchen.

The store is one of the few groceries which does a holiday business, such as packing California fruits and nuts, and trade has jumped 50 per cent, Jones said. Kitchen's dealers in staple and fancy groceries are doing an excellent Christmas business, according to G. E. Kitchen. The firm began this morning to pack its special package of fruit and nuts for the holiday trade, suitable as a gift to be sent east. Sebastian Bros., dealers in dry goods and notions, are doing in some lines twice the business which they expected to do. For example, an order for handkerchiefs which the firm had to put in to replace one that was delayed in execution, has been sold out weeks ahead of time. The original lot also has been sold. The concern's birthday sale has been practically confined to regular lines,, rather than Christmas lines, but buying has been excellent. R. W. Dubois, proprietor of the Cafateria Shoe Store, said trade showed a clear tendency to increase as Christmas drew nearer. Purchasers were shopping early, in appreciation of the fact that by so doing they could obtain their choice of goods. The Christmas spirit is stronger than a year ago, said Du Bois. Assortments are bigger and in larger variety. Federman's is getting its share of the holiday shoe trade, says W. H. Locke. Business is fully as good as in 1920. People also are shopping early, but the busiest week of all is the last one before Christmas, as a rule,, said Locke. The outlook for a good holiday trade is fine, says Otto Hammel, of Hammel's music store. It is a little early yet to make a comparison with last year's business, however, in Hammel's opinion. Business so far has been a good deal better than 1920, maybe twice as good. The lower prices on pianos and phonographs is attracting buyers. A. H. Witman said that the Christmas trade in jewelry was better than he expected it would be. Shopping now was starting in earnest,, and by the middle of the month it would be possible to estimate the volume of holiday business accurately.
