remember, it Is -what you are doing
NOW that will make you a big win
ner at the close of the contest.
Space here does not permit of a
lengthy talk to candidates and those
considering becoming candidates. But
this much must tie said: Every timo
you get the votes of a friend you have
not only got those votes but you have
added a worker in your army. No one
interested enough in your candidacy
to vote for you will vote and then for
get about your candidacy. In voting
for you he has shown interest in youl
candidacy and willingness to further
it, hence he will speak to his friend?
and urge them to speak to their
friends. Thus the word goes around;
votes accumulate and within an almost
unbelievably short > pace of time you
will have a total thai will surprise no
ono more greatly than yourself. This
is logic; it is the history of every sim
ilar enterprise. It is hrourht out here
to show nil candidate* the importance
of early activity. Tt points out a way
to get a handsome vote total within a
few days. Head work, not footwork,
gets the' best and quickest results. It'
shows how hustling now—today—this
minute is worth the. most strenuous
rushins about next week or even to
morrow.
Here is another important point:
Because this contest is such a mam
moth affair and because th<? pri-ies are
so magnificent, scores of the best peo
ple in Southern California and neigh
boring states will take part in It as
candidates, and this means that thou
sands will be interested as lieutenants
of their favorite candidates. Now, to
pro still further, this means that thou
sands of people will be voting in this
contest; your friends and acquain
tances will be among them. Now, why
In the name of all that is sensible,
should you stand back and see some
one elße get all these votes and in get
ting these votes win the $5300 home,
the $3350 Knox Tcurabout or any
other splendid prize? Are you going to
let YOl'R friends make someone else
a big winner? Each and every prize
in the list of over $25,000 is going to
go to someone, the contest department
has no favorites, couldn't have if it

don't you get whatever prize you de

show you absolutely how and why
your opportunities are equal to "the

LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNTNC, MARCH 30, 1010.
INCOMPETENT'S WILL
IS HELD TO BE VALID
Court Finds Testator Had Capacity to
Make Out Document, Although
Not Able to Transact
Business
Holding that a man's being Incapa
citated for business is no reason why
he should not be able to make out his
will, Judge Rives of the probate court
yesterday rendered a decision in which
ho declared that the will of the late
John C. Kofoed, who left a big estate,
was valid, ant he ordered that It be ad
mitted to probate.
The will had been contested by rela
tives on the ground that the deceased
was mentally incompetent when he
made out the document, July 1, 1909.
In 1907 Kofoed was declared mentally
incompetent by the courts, and his
business affairs were put in the hands
of guardians. Consequently when he
made a will last year it WU contested
as soon M it was filed.
In deciding the ease Judge Rives de
clared that he was fully aware that
Kofoed's interests were being looked
after by guardians. He found, how
ever, that notwithstanding the fa.t
that Kofoed had been adjudged Incom
petent and unable to manage his prop
erty, he was Of .->■;;;;;! •.'.:::'.:'. at the time
he made his will.
"It requires ■ onslderable capacity,"
paid the Judge, "to make bUBlneM
transactions ;tnd to attend to the de
tails of business affairs. Hut It re
quires much loss capacity to make a
will, which is simply disposing of prop
erty as the owner of an estate sees lit.
The court finds that the deceased was
quite capable as to the making of his
will, nnd the instrument is ordered ad
mitted to probate."
PARK COMMISSION ASKS
FOR FORESTRY CONTROL
Necessity for Prompt Action Im.
pressed on Council —Raise for
Secretary Herbert Urged
Necessity for prompt notion in plac
ing the duties of the city forester
under the direction of the board of
public works ur the park commission
was Impressed on the council yester
day by Judge C. D. Silent, a member
of the purk board. He declared that
since E. J. Harper, city forester, had
resigned there was on one to give per
mits tor planting trees or their re
moval and that as a result trees could
not be removed and some building op
erations are being held up.
The horticultural commission has
demanded that private citizens spray
their treea in cases where they are
infected with scale, but there is no
official to give them advice on the
matter. The mayor and park com
missioners are being overrun with de
mands In matters of this kind, but
they have no authority. The matter
was referred to the supply committee.
JudK'' Silent aiao iiske,l that the
park commission be allowed to spend
$1000 of its own money for engineering
work in the parks. He said that by
expending this money without K<>ini,'
through the red taps of tli.' engineer's
department the park commission could
save 60 per cent of the cost of the
work. The finance committee is to
investigate the matter.
An Inornate in salary for the secre
tary of the park department from $123
to $150 was asked by Mr. Silent, who
told the council of tiie superior quali
fications of C. T. Herbert. This was
referred to the supply committee,
which lms the matte- of salaries of all
city employes under consideration.

tice, was riding a bicycle to his home,
822 West Third street, when he was

MAYOR TO INVESTIGATE
FIRE DEPARTMENT WORK
The council yesterday appropriated
S'so to the mayor's fund for the pur
pose of investigating the fire depart
ment. The mayor was authorized to
make such investigation as he sees nt.
"I hope it will be deep and thor
ough," said Councilman Betkouski, a
former membi-r of the fire commission.
'•There is plenty in the fire depart
ment to be uncovered, and it should
be done."
The investigation is expected to dis
close why Chief T.ips resigned so
hastily and why some other high of
ficials of the fire department are going
around with pallid facet.

COUNCIL MAY TABOO ALL
BULLETINS ON SIDEWALKS
In order that the sidewalks of the
business district may not present the
appearance of a billboard the council
will abolish the bulletin boards in
front of business buildings, such as
theaters, if It adopts the suggestion of
the building inspector,. The matter is
in the hands of the legislation com
mittee for Investigation.
The ordinance under which permits
are granted for these bulletin boards
provides they shall be only in front of
theaters. The board of public works
last week had to grant a permit for
these boards to a moving picture show
as it could not distinguish betw.een the
small and largo theaters. It views with
alarm the condition of affairs that will
arise if every moving picture show in
the city demands bulletin boards.
