The Observer is indebted to R. E.
Williams for a copy of the Fiesta edi
tion of the Los Angeles Times. The
paper contains 56 pages, and is hand
somely illustrated throughout with
pictures of the great electrical and
floral parade, which was viewed by
250,000 people. The Times says that
words are powerless to describe the
glorious pageant, and declares that
no like scene has ever been witnessed
in the world before. The paper might
well be termed the Shrlner's Number,
as hundreds of columns of reading
matter are devoted to the doings of
the jolly Shriners assembled in Im
perial Council in that city. The
Fiesta number of the Times is a
striking triumph of modern journal
ism.

Electricity for Lip;fatinf;
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there Is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to eave bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to Only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money .
than electrio light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts.
