This seems to be well established by figures based on showing of the new city directory. Using the usual ratio of computation, based upon city directories, Los Angeles has now a population of 1,148,121. The big metropolis unquestionably is growing phenomenally. Thousands upon thousands of new dwellings have been built there each year for the last three years. The number of families coming there for residence is remarkably large. Population increase is steady and heavy. The growth that Los Angeles is making is reflected in Pasadena, Long Beach and other flourishing cities of Los Angeles County. Perhaps it is hardly fair to this city to assert its growth is a reflection—it is not. This city has grown and is growing on its own merits, in its own right. Its growth is not dependent upon the growth of Los Angeles in such measure as properly to be regarded as reflected growth. The 1930 census will show phenomenal increase in population of this city, Los Angeles, and other progressive cities of the Southland. INCOME TAX REDUCTION IS POSTPONED House leaders turned thumbs down upon the urgent recommendation of President Coolidge that a resolution be passed making effective immediately a blanket reduction of 25 percent in income taxes, payable this year. Not enough time to get the resolution through, said the leaders. How much time should be required? During the war, when emergency demanded measures went through Congress within a few hours INCOME TAX REDUCTION IS POSTPONED House leaders turned thumbs down upon the urgent recommendation of President Coolidge that a resolution be passed making effective immediately a blanket reduction of 25 per cent in income taxes, payable this year. Not enough time to get the resolution through, said the leaders. How much time should be required? During the war, when emergency demanded, measures went through Congress within a few hours after being proposed. It can be done. All that is necessary is for Congress to will to do. No war emergency is before the country. But the burden of taxation is so great and so disheartening, that any measure for the lessening of this burden should be regarded and treated as an emergency measure. It would have been a very fitting, serviceable and enheartening thing for both Houses of Congress to have passed quickly the resolution which President Coolidge urged. It would have brought relief to hundreds of thousands of taxpayers. It would have brought reassurance to the country and would have been a healthy economic stimulant. Congress should have done this. Congress tossed away a fine opportunity to do an acceptable thing for the American people. Daley's INCORPORATED CHAIN STORE GROCERS THIS COUPON AND 5 CENTS WILL BUY A 24 OZ.

So far as the records show, no vamp has ever alienated the affections of a bald man with a salary of $35. A real vamp is one who can keep a man smiling as he comes across with the household allowance month after month. In these bootlegging days, the hick-town man is either under suspicion or a wife's thumb. Getting old is just a matter of keeping your mouth shut when there is nothing in particular to come out. Just when you think the world is growing saner you read about a man who has inherited a million and says he doesn't want it. It must be a great surprise to a native of a foreign country when he attains to 225 pounds and Rickard doesn't grab him for a drawing card. Member $200,000 Club 1923 Phone 1057W D. H.

Turning a curve, it came suddenly upon a man with a gun on his shoulder and a weak, sick-looking dog beside him. The dog was directly in the path of the motor car. The chaufeur sounded his horn, but the dog did not move until he was struck. After that he did not move. The automobile stopped and one of the men got out and came forward. He had once paid a farmer ten dollars for killing a dog that belonged to another farmer. This time he was wary. "Was that your dog?" "Yes." "Looks as if we'd killed him." "Certainly looks so." "Very valuable dog?" "Well, not so very." "Will five dollars satisfy you?" "Yes." "Well then, here you are." He handed a five-dollar bill to the man with the gun and added pleasantly, "I'm sorry to have broken up your hunt." "I wasn't going hunting," replied the other as he pocketed the bill. "Not going hunting?" Then what were you doing with the dog and gun? "Going to the woods to shoot the dog." Afraid to breathe, almost, the returned reveler crept quietly into his bed chamber as the gray dawn was breaking. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he cautiously undid his boots. But, with all his care, his wife stirred in bed, and he presently was all too well aware of a pair of sleepy eyes regarding him over the edge of the sheet.

But, with all his care, his wife stirred in bed, and he presently was all too well aware of a pair of sleepy eyes regarding him over the edge of the sheet. Why, Tom," yawned the littie woman, "how early you are getting up this morning!" Yes, my dear," replied Tom, stifling a groan. "I've got to go to Montreal for the firm today." And replacing his footgear the wretched man dragged his aching limbs out again into the cold and heartless streets. The stout woman struggled to enter a narrow carriage doorway on an English train, but struggled in vain. "Urry on there!" yelled the guard, approaching her with fire in his eyes. "'Urry on! Git in edgeways, mum! Git in edgeways." The would-be traveler showed a red, perspiring face over her plump shoulder, and regarded the official with an angry glare. "An wot," she snapped bitterly, ceasing her endeavors for the moment. "wot if I ain't got no edge?" Violence, physical or mental, is an overdrift on Nature's bank.

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying WARNINGS AGAINST BLUE-SKY STOCKS—Santa Barbara News In the report of the appraisers of the estate of the late William G. Rockefeller, oldest son of the late William Rockefeller, there is warning for those who would dabble in stocks. Although Mr. Rockefeller had access to the best advice in the financial world and was supplied with unlimited capital to carry on his operations, the appraisement shows that he was made the victim of wildcatters on numerous occasions. Among the stocks and bonds included in the estate there are thousands of shares of mining companies, chemical companies and other enterprises which are listed in the report as worthless. As the estate is appraised at something more than $8,000,000, of course Mr. Rockefeller had a wide margin of safety which permitted him to engage in enterprises that could be classed as hazardous without fear of impairing his fortune. But it is not of record that men in his position usually take longer chances in their investments than do those with less money. In fact, because of the advantages they enjoy, their losses are generally comparatively small. It will be recalled that in the settlement of the vast estate of C. P. Huntington who made his boast that he "could not be trailed through life by the pennies he dropped," it was found that he had large quantities of worthless securities. There is surely ample reason for the repeated warnings sent to investors and speculators to "watch their step" when they enter into the mystic maze of the stock markets. Curiously enough, out of more than $7,000,000 in securities in the Rockefeller estate, only about $450,000 represent Standard Oil shares. He put almost as much money into the stocks and bonds of a single company which are found without value. Apparently the smooth tongue of the stock salesman finds victimes in the high as well as the low places.
