We know of a number Of women
who, during the past summer, have
had practically the whole care Of the
home lawn Where there was not al
ready an overburden Of household
cares and duties this has proven an
enjoyable as we'll as beneficial outdoor
exercise. Where the lawn mower
does not push too hard it would be
superior to the broom or mop as
means of exercise.

An accident we noted the other day,
in which a lady had all the exposed
portions Of her face and neck badly
scalded with steam, enforces the fact
that a tight cover should never be
placed on dish Of boiling water IN
less there is other and sufficient outlet
for the steam. If made prisoner
the expanding steam is bound to force
a way out, and usually with a good
deal Of risk to the housewife in case
she happens to be about.

The tendency Of good and bad types
and traits in farm animals, grains and
grasses to perpetuate themselves ac-
counts alike for scrubs and thorough
bred products to be found everywhere.
In very real way scientific agricul-
ture consists in a systematic attempt
to increase and perpetuate the good
tendencies and discourage and exter-
inmate the scrub or evil tendencies in
plant and animal life

There is this much truth in the old
saying that thunder will sour milk
namely, the electricity in the air tends
to rapidly increase the bacteria which
cause the milk to sour. Strictly speak

By way Of illustrating that the faith
Of the tree planter is rewarded we note
the case of a western farmer who has
lately cut 1000 cedar trees from a
grove planted twenty-six years ago,
selling them to a telephone company
for use in the construction of it's lines,
the price paid being $3.50 apiece. This
goes to prove that there is good money
In the growing of trees if a fellow only
has the right kind Of faith and is will
ing to bide his time.

A good deal Of crooked and dishonest
work is involved in the methods a
good many men adopt in the packing
Of apples. If one is in doubt, but
means to do the right thing, a good
rule to follow is to put no apples into
the barrel as a packer that you would
not be willing to accept at the other
end Of the line as a purchaser. It's the
only rule that is worth a copper.

We know Of no way in which the
interest Of boys on the farm can be
aroused in it's activities and their 10y
atty secured than by interesting them
in thoroughbred stock of some kind,
which they can tend to and enjoy a
portion of the proceeds Of. If that
fourteen-year-old boy is getting rest
less and dissatisfied with the old home
farm give this plan a trial. If he is a
thoroughbred boy he will quite nat
urally be interested in thoroughbred
cattle, hogs and corn.

The only possible way of explaining
the numerous instances where biped
suckers get plucked and skinned in all
kinds of raw and snide games is that
such people belong to class who new
err read the daily and weekly papers,
which usually are full of the accounts
Of similar frauds played on other peo-
pie or who, if they do read, derive no
benefit therefrom either along the line
of warning or instruction. Such folk
seem to have no insight, little intelli-
gence and less memory concerning

There are a good many people who
wish that the reported development
Of a type of chickens by an eastern

the fact that one leg was shorter than
the other and that as a result they walk

their own premises, were true and
that the breed might be introduced as
generally and rapidly as possible. We
know of quite a number who we feel
sure would supply their neighbors with

The government of New South Wales
leads the procession in the matter of
restrictions and safeguards which are
placed about the killing Of different
food animals. In additions to insuring
the greatest measure of cleanliness in
the matter Of handling the dressed
meats, the law provides two years i'm
prisonment for the person Strengthening
a diseased animal, while it prescribes
a still longer term for the one who
sells diseased meat. Twelve hours no
tice must be given of intention to
slaughter, and in case no such notice
is given penalty of $50 head may
be imposed.
People appreciate square deal even
though they don't always mention the
fact. If you want your patrons to
hunt you up instead of your seeking
them, let it be not only known that you
have what they want, but also that
you are always frank and honest in
your dealings whether you are selling

docs the orchard payY' Is a ques-
ton that every owner of such tract
should be vitality interested in. In way
Of answering the question it may be
said that some orchards do pay and
others do not, quite largely depending
upon the intelligent care and attention
which they do or do not receive. One
central Iowa orchard of sixty acres of
which we know showed a return Of
$50 per acre annually during a period
Of five years. This is doubtless far
above the average, but vet it goes to
show what can be accomplished by
painstaking and intelligent care. Where
there is one orchard like this there
are probably dozen, large and small,
that do not give net return Of $40 per
acre.

I GRIFFITH J. GRIFFITH !.
Former Bon Vivant Converted and
Will Devote Energy and Part of
Fortunes to Fighting the
Liquor Traffic

When Col Griffith J. Griffith, the mill
lionaire convict, is released next
Wednesday from Folsom penitentiary,
where he is finishing a two years term
for attempting to kill his wife, his for
mer cronies, the bons vivants of the
clubs. will get surprise.
The colonel is to become a temperance
worker.
Since his conversion some months
ago through the efforts of Mrs. Marian
Boyd, w. G. r. U. prison worker, Col.
Griffith has announced his intention of
devoting the remainder of his life to
the work of furthering the cause of
Temperance. He will fight liquor in
every form, shape and manner. He
whose capacity for malt, spirituous and
vinous was the marvel of those who
knew him in the days of his glory will
engage in earnest battle with his old
enemy. He has become a champion of
purity.
A Christian friend in this city with
whom Col. Griffith has been correspond
ing since ne professed religion says that
he ascribes his mistakes to his over
Indulgence in liquor and that he has not
wavered since his conversion. Great
hopes are centered in the promises he
has made to help the cause of temper
ance.
The material aid he will be able to
give will be considera BILE, as the large
property interests he holds have greatly
increased in value since his incarcera-
ton. If his ardor does not cool some
great benefaction may be looked for.
That he can be splendidly generous
when his enthusiasm is aroused, his
great gift to the city, the park that
bears his name, lastingly proves.
Col. Griffith will come direct to Los
Angeles upon his release and remain
here to start life afresh. Here, where
most of his life has been spent, he will
his friends say, earnestly live dowr
the disgrace that came to him through
too great a fondness for the cup oil

ASKS MAYOR TO AID
IN LOCATING SISTER
WASHINGTON WOMAN SENDS A
PlTlFUL APPEAL
Says Girl Ran Away From Husband,
Going to San Franelsco-After
Great Disaster Came to Los
Angeles

Mayor McAleer received pitiful APP
peal from woman In Charleston,
WASH asking him to do something to-
ward locating her sister, whom she
believes is in Los Angeles under an
assumed name. The mayor has taken
up the case and is having an investi-
cation made in an effort to locate the
woman.
The letter is in part as follows:
MY mother and l are almost crazy
about a sister who was in your city
on the twenty-sixth Of last month. She
sent a telegram to her husbands peo-
pie, who refused to help her on ac-
count of her having run away from her
husband i'm San Francisco. She claimed
in the telegram she was destitute and
wanted them to send twenty dollars for
her transportation to Portland. Should
she be destitute and / can locate her, |
will borrow money to bring her to
Seattle or Castle Rock.
81 believe she was in San Francisco
during the earthquake, as mother re-
ceived letter written by her a few
days before the terrible catastrophe.
We fear she is either sick or has COM
mitted suicide after being refused aid.
She is eighteen years old and about
five feet five inches tall and has brown
eyes and hair Her name is Grace EN-
monds Taylor, or Frazier, the last name
being an assumed one.
ANY kindness shown us will be
gratefully appreciated. Thanking you III

JACKSON STREET IS
STILL UNHAPPY
PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD NOW
STOP OPENING
Southern Pacific Said to Have Broken
Its Promise and Now Board of
Public Works Has Referred the
Question to City Attorney

The fleshless ghost of the Jackson
street franchise, which resulted in the
Healy recall fiasco in the Eighth ward
several months ago. is still stalking
through the city hall.
Yesterday Michael Collins appeared
before the board of public works in
company with other property owners
on Jackson street and endeavored to
have the proceedings for the opening
of Jackson street stopped.
A few months ago the property own
ers on Jackson street petitioned for the
opening of that street with the expecta-
ton that the Santa Fe would be given
franchise to construct a spur track
on the thoroughfare. When the Santa
Fe petition was presented the South
ern Pacific also asked the privilege OF
placing a spur on jackson street, and
although the majority of the prop
erty owners demanded the Santa Fe
the council gave it to the Southern Pa
cific. At that time the Southern Pa
cific officials agreed that IL they should
receive the franchise they would pay
the cost of opening Jackson street.
Collins and his friends claim thai
the Southern Pacific has refused tC
make good this promise and insists
that the property owners pay for open
| ing the street.
The board of public works has re
ferred the question to the city attorney

WILL FISH FROM
HER PRIVATE CAR
NINE. BERNHARDT WILL TRY FOR
YELLoWTAIL
Big Auditorium at' Venice Is Well
Suited for Great Performance.
Transportation Is Free to
Ticket Holders

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt is infatuated
with the idea of playing at Venice of
America. 1t is the first time in her
experience that she will be so situated
that she is playing at a theater built
over the waters of the Pacific. Her
private car, which is loaned to her as
a personal mark Of appreciation by the
Vanderbilt family, will be switched out
on the end of the Venice pier and Nine.
Bernhardt expects delightful time
catching fish for her breakfast. She
has fiShed and caught alligators in
louisiana; pompano at Galveston, and
Is now going to try for a yellowtail i'll
the Pacific.
The stage carpenter, electrician and
property men of the Bernhard COM
pany visited Venice auditorium last
evening as guests of the Kinney COM
pany and pronounced Venice auditorium
as an ideal place for Nine. Bernhardt's
enga cement. There was but one stage
on the Pacific coast equal to that at
Venice, and that was the old Grand
opera house at San Francisco. The
seventy-four feet in width, with pro-
scenium opening sixtyfour feet wide
and thirty eight feet in height
The Venice auditorium was built
both for dramatic and operate en-
gagements at a cost of $4,000, and has
been pronounced by critics to be an
ideal place for large organizations both
dramatic and operatic. The price Of
admission has been so divided as to be
in the reach of all classes and a free
ride from Los Angeles and return Is
given each purchaser. Nine. Bern
hardt is positively touring America
for the last time and those who have
never seen the work Of the greatest
actress in the world should take ad-
vantage of this engagement.
The repertoire is la Sorciere" on
Friday night; Camille at the Sat
urday matinee, and la Tosca" Satur-
dya night. The seat sale is now on at
Birkel music house, 345 South Spring
street.
The way to go to Venice will be to
come to Los Angeles and take the
electric cars at Fourth and Broadway,
which takes you to the door of the
auditorium. Plenty of cars and per-
feet system will land you at the aud
itorium in half an hour.
