Dubois, the world-famed scientist and explorer, as intelligent and as gracious a man as I ever knew, was telling me of the trading customs of the Orient. Over there, said he, whenever you go out to make even a minor purchase, you must expect to take a long time at it. Trading is a routine which cannot be hurried. Once it took him two full days of dickering to buy a $2 rug. He said that the merchants over there hsva no ens price policy. They ask you what they think you will pay. ^ If you know their game you refust to pay their titti price. Se there you sit, the merchant { Using to you as a consumer--it saves your time. Before you ever enter a store you can see a picture of the goods, read an honest description of them and know their price. ; You go into the Store, full of confidence, ask for what you want and pay your money without the slightest doubt that you will get full value for every cent. Long ago wise old Benjamin Franklin asked the readers of his "Poor Richard's Almanac" if they valued life--and then gave the test of whether they did nor not. The test w>s merely whether they wasted time.

Great are the bounties of modern After a very ,delightful two days spent in the city of San Francisco, ajn ccount of whirh was piven in a preni^ iailiuent, the Editorial party oarded the Southern Pacific Daylight Streamliner for a day's journey to Los Angeles, a distance of 471 miles. This modem train makes the run in approximately ten hours, and follows the coast a greater portion of the way. The roadbed south of South San Francisco is through a series of tunnels and skirting San Francisco Bay nd is said to have cost nearly a million dollars a mile to build. Thirty "illes of travel brings one to the well known city of Palo Alto, the grounds of the Lieland Stanford, Junior, University, with the 90,000 seat stadium, alo Alto is the home of former resident Herbert Hoover. - Principal cities on this route Include San Jose, Salinas, Paso Robles, Tunnel Six (longest of a series of tunnels through the mountains and highest point on the route), San Luis Obispo (half way point of the trip), Santa Barbara, Burbank, where is located the well known airport, and then Los Angeles, ending a day's travel, with wonderful) views seen through the train's windows. After leaving the streamliner in the shed of the new station, which was opened for use only a few weeks previous, the party was taken to the Hotel Biltmore, one of the finest and largest in the west. Catalina Island Following a comfortable night's rest, a visit to Catalina Island was started in the morning. We were taxied toi the interurban station, where the electric train was boarded and after a ride of about forty-five minutes, reached Wilmington. This town is located among oil derricks and is the point on the coast where sightseers board the boats for the Island. A short run on the new boat, "Catalina," landed the party at Avaloiv where crowds of vacationists greeted our arrival with music, songs and shouts of welcome.

The island is 22 miles lo^g . ang from one-quarter to seven and a half miles wide. It la extremely mountainous, the kighest peak (Orizaba) being 2,200 feet.

The air during the winter season is delightful and of remarkably even temperature, while the summer air is refreshingly cool. Sea bathing can be indulged in all the year round. At Avalon are located a large Casino, the Chimes Tower, Hotel St. Catherine, the Submarine Gardens, which can be viewed from glass-bottom boats, large bird park, seal rocks, training ground of the "Cubs", , the palatial Wrigley residence on Mt. Aida, also the residences of P. K. Wirigley and Zane Grey, noted writer. In the bay at all times can be sighted pleasure crafts, many owned by well known millionaires. The following day, being the Fourth of July, members of the Editorial party were told they were "on their own" and could visit relatives and friends, as there was no program planned. We were entertained by Mrs. Mosher's brother and his wife, who reside at Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles, and. were driven by them *" " M* c rlr.cos iu and ouuui uie city. One of these was Olivera Str««t, a very small necUou occupied by Mexicans. In booths spread out over this narrow street the Mexican people are found making articles of all kinds which they sell to the visitors. The spot is well known and easily located by inquiry being made. During the • evening hours of the Fourth of July, we made a call on George O'Brien, better known as "Obie," former manager of the Miller Theatre in Woodstock. After his surprise at seeing someone from Mc- Henry county, Mr. O'Brien recovered that old smile of his and greeted us cordially. He is now manager of one of the Fox Theatres in Los Angeles. We were asked to extend his ings to -all his old friends home." Visit Hollywood Back to the itinerary the next day found us starting by bos on a totir through the movie colony at Hollywood, where we were shown the studios, and homes of the stars in Beverly Hills. Very few of the leading actors and actresses were to be found so early in tM day and still a- lesser number reported for work, it being the day folowing the holiday, possibly the proverbial "morning after the night before.** However, Loretta Young and Hugh Herbert did pot in an appearance before the busses left the studios. On the way out of Los-Angeles, to Long Beach, the busses stopped for a few minutes at an ice skating rink. Being rather early in the day it was somewhat surprising to find so many enjoying this popular sport, consisting primarily of ladies and children. They were apparently all having a wonderful time, if one could judge by the shouts tftnd conversation. One lady in particular was pointed out to us and we were asked if we recogweight, but very active. After the he was very familiar. I believe he was the head of the state during part of the 1920's. !The itinerary called for dinner and lodging at San Diego Hotel and a trip to Tia Juana and Agua Caliente, Mexico, the following morning. Our tour manager suggested that this trip be made that evening instead, which was readily accepted by the crowd After dinner at the hotel, the busses were again lined up and we were on our way. Crossing over on the Coronado Ferry, a stop for inspection of the world famous Coronado Hotel was made. Nearby is located the United States naval aeronautical bage, where more than $40,000,000 in flying equipment Is housed. Almost any time during the day or night one can hear the hum of motors in the air. The international boundary between the States and Mexico, was soon reached, with the customary questions being asked by tbe Mexican officials, after which we came to Tia Juana. Ko Gambling at Tia Juana iThis famous little town was very different from! what it was back a few years, during the prohibition era. found absolutely no guubiiag whatever--everything in that line was closed up. The evening was spent going through the curio shops and stores. Peddlers on the street were selling their native wares, such as baskets, large hats, etc. In fact, there were so quMiy of th^m that ft iras difficult to make .ffcpgress. Scftfte of the tourists made too many purchases and they had difficulty in carrying them to the bus. Although the saloons were operating, we were told that the president of Mexico waa due to visit Tia Juana the next day and the keepers were fearful that he might even close up the drink parlors, as he had previously done over in the interior. Hie return trip back to San Diego was Of f8 ow a different route, ^r- -La Valencia Hotel at the hotel- at a late hour, disappointment *»• *>v »»| n't- I*'"'*" " •• v not have ample time the next morning to cover the city and look up relatives or friends. However, a v former resident of McHenry was located in one of .the large banks, being John Conrad. He has been an employe in this institution most of the time since leaving McHenry several years ago. Balboa park, old town San Diegaf, Ramona's Marriage Place and Point Loma were visited. An excellent view was presented from the latter. Extending south from the mainland and protecting the harbor entrance, is a panorama depicting a score or more of historical and interesting points. tLunch was had on the Way back a| the beautiful patio of the La Valencia! hotel at LaJolla. Here was a SStf ting beyond description. • * ' Famous Mission Several, missions, were visited* ampng which was San Juan Capiat trano, located midway between San Diego and Los Angeles. It 1% iald to l>e the most interesting architecturally and historically, (nowh as the "Jewel of the Missions." It is in a splendid state of preservation. Its ivy corridors, gardens and fountained courts have earned for it the title of the "Alhambra of the Pacific Coast" In the same year of the Declaration of Independence, Fray Junipero Serra proclaimed the freedom of the Indians from ignorance and superstition by setting up the Cross at San Juan Capistrano on Nov. 1, 1776. Since that day the mission has been an active center of California life. The bells of -Campanario still peal forth tbe Angelus daily, still , call the faithful to worship, and toll as they art laid away in the grave. During the Mexican regime, in 1845, it was sold at auction illegally by the governor of California. In 1865 Abraham Lincoln restored it to th# possession of the Catholic church. After a wonderful ride through the orange groves, of Orange County, the party again reached the city of Los Angeles, where the train was boarded and the start made back over the Southern Pacific route through the southwestern states. This account of a trip which lasted for four full weeks, covering a distance of about 13,000 miles, to Alaska and return via California, would not be complete without favorable mention of one man, and that one is Don Sick, who planned tbe tour and personally conducted this large g#oup of people Many years of experience has taught him how to handle folks, keep them satisfied, oomfoTtable. contented and happy. wfeft' al**yii be found when his services were needed.
