CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES

Christmas was celebrated at
the L. d. S. church by a tree
and a program by the Sunday
School. The program was in
charge Of Mrs. S. B. Hartshorn,
Mrs. N. Madden and Mrs. Chas.
Austin and its rendition. which
was one Of the best ever heard
in Condor, was largely due to
their unremitting efforts. Santa
Claus, according to the popular
idea, was very successfully imi-
tated by Fred Hawes. One Of
the most noteworthy renditions
was a vocal duet by Miss jamie
Hartshorn and Mrs. Chas. Aus
tin. The distribution Of fpresents
followed.
The commemoration Of the fes-
tival at the Baptist church con-
sisted Of two trees and a program
which was in every way delight
fully rendered and was a credit
to those in charge. Mrs. E. G..
Merrifeld and Mrs. L. 7. Price.

there and after the program
they assisted in distributing the
presents.

False Alarm.

The fire laddies and other resi-
dents of the town were rudely
awakened about two o'clock a. m.
Sunday by the ringing Of the fire
gong in the court house tower
and a moment later the ringing
of the bell at the fire station.
The gong turned in alarm No. Il
but no one seemed to know where
the fire was and in fact there
was no fire at all. twas thought
at first that it was a joke played
by some late prowler but upon ex-
amining the alarm boxes next
morning it was found that none
of them had been disturbed. Mr.,
Laurance started out the next
day to locate the trouble, think,
ing possibly the wires attached
to the gong had come in contact
with an electric wire but was un'
able to discover the cause of the
alarm. LATER: The trouble was
found at box Ia.

marched up the aisle TO the time
honored strains of Lohengrin's
Wedding March played by JAMIE
L. Hartshorn. Prayer was offer
ed by Elder A. B. Moore, father
Of the groom, and the impressive
ceremony was performed by Ell
der A. J. Moore, brother Of the
groom. After the ceremony,
handshakings and congratula-
tions were in order for some
time when the happy couple was
presented with q handsome rock
ing chair given by q few close
friends. Other presents too num-
erous to mention were received.
Immediately following this an
informal wedding luncheon was
served and the busy clatter OF
knives, forks and tongues and
eating of the bounteous repast,
such as can be provided only by
the good ladies Of Gillian coun-
ty, were in order for the next
hour. After luncheon the guests
enjoyed themselves in different
ways until late in the afternoon
when they separated to their
homes. The bride wore q silk
finish henrietta with a jumper
effect over a awhile lace waist and
the groom wore the conventional

sell the Wagons but we do sell the
Watches to those who insist upon
having them. We like TO sell
them for one reason, and yet we
don't like to for another reason.
The reason we like to sell them is
because the margin OF profit is
much greater than ON our higher
grade watches, yet we would rather
sell you standard timepiece which
we know would give entire salts
faction and make you our perma-
nent customer. We sell more
watches than any other dealer in
the county, for two reasons, the
first is because we handle all the
high grade movements, and never
try to talk a customer into buying
an inferior article, knowing that
by SO doing we not only lose his
trade, but also his good will, and
sacrifice our established reputation
for square dealing and reliability.
The second reason is expressed in
a very few words, being nothing
more or less than that our prices
are about 25 per cent. lower than
those Of our competitors, regard
less of their misleading assertions,
and we are here to prove it to you.

ABBOT KINNEY FILES
SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Wants 100000 from the Ocean Park
Trustees Because Santa Mon-
lea Sewage Was Allowed
to Flow Through Pipes

Abbot Kinney yesterday filed suit in the
county clerks office of the superior court
against George M. Jones, Dana Burks and
A. r. Robinson, all three trustees of
Ocean Park, and the city itself for
$500, 900.
Mr. Kinney claims that the trustees
of Ocean Park are allowing the sewage
of Santa Monica to flow through the
Ocean Park pipes.
The plaintiff states that the passing
of the ordinance granting this privilege
to Santa Monica was conspiracy to in
lure considerable property which he pos
sesses about Center street, at whose base
the sewage is located.
An Injunction petition was granted re-
Gently to residents of the strip along the
ocean frontage by Judge Bordwell re-
straining the trustees of Ocean Park
from permitting the Santa Monica sew
age to flow through it's pipes. The resi-
dents stated that the odor about the
beach at times was intolerable and in
sanitary.
The trustees of the city have ignored
the Injunction and the case of the in
junction hearing is now pending in the
superior court.
Kinneys property is in the same local
ity as that of the complaining residents,
and 1t was expected that it would not
be long before he would file heavy dam
age suit against Ocean Park, as he claims
his property has decreased in value ap-
preciably and that he is losing money
as the result.

Valley VIII Encounter
Delay

Owing to the resignation of D. S.
Elder, county clerk of Imperial county,
the land office in this city has been put
to considerable inconvenience, and per-
sons filing on claims in the valley will
encounter more or less delay.
Prior to the founding of the new
county all the claims were handled
through the land office here In Los An
geles, but since the organization of I'M
perial county the county clerk has
taken care of the business where there
was no contest.
AS Elders resignation takes place
and it will be some time
before a new office force can become
acquainted with the red tape of filing
entries, the land office here will be put
to a great deal of trouble. Register
Prescott will have another clerk to help
expediate matters as much as can be
done from this office

LOOT FOUND IN ROOM
OF ARRESTED SUSPECT
Burglary Charged Against viii Ed

ted Recent Robberies

Will Edwards, said by the police to be
a burglar and guilty of number OF re-
cent robberies in Los Angeles, was ar
rested by Patrolmen Coe and Humphreys
on Commercial street yesterday morning.
When the room occupied by Edwards
and a companion on East First street
was searched a number of stolen articles
were found. Edwards companion has not
been arrested, but the police have gained
clews to his whereabouts and expect to
take him into custody today.
According to the police, Edwards and
his partner came to Los Angeles several
months ago. Since that time they have
expended large sums of money, but have
not done one days work. They have been
closely watched by the police and have
frequently been seen in neighborhoods
where robberies have occurred.
1t is thought by the officers that Ed
wards is wanted in the east for jobs he
has committed there. as he has refused
to make any statements about his past
life or where he came from.

"HoNESTY PANAcEA NEEDED
IN BUSINESS AND POLITICS"

ITO the Editor of the Herald: Let
us stand for honesty, as it is the
panacea for all our ills. Spartan mothers
felt 1t their duty to consecrate their sons
to their country's good as soldiers, and
received much commentator for so do
ing. With the American mother 1t is a
different proposition. With the light of
peace of the twentieth century 1t Is not
the military heroes that we want as shin
ing examples, but ideal lives in the polit-
ical and business world that we point
to with pride as an. ideal for our sons to
follow. This seems to be the greatest
need of today for the American youth.
We all know children are very logical
as well as psychical, can read character
quite correctly and sum it up at it's
intrinsic worth. Let us look back at our
own childhood and see how lonesome
it would have been without our idols, or
high ideals for examples, both In the
seen and in the mythical.
We have honorable examples in art,
science and literature, but the great ma
jority must follow in commercial lines
as conditions exist today. Mothers teach
their children that honesty is a great
virtue. And the American mother whose
ancestors fought for the independence of
this republic speak with pride to their
sons of this great nation. And 1t Is pretty
hard on that mother when the son grows
up and goes out In the business ard
political world and comes home In disap-
pointment and asks his mother where all
this Is she has told him of and remarks
"I do not see it."
Honest Men Too Few
do not mean that there are not honest
Americans in high places, but do mean
that what we want is the rule and not
the exception. What does 1t profit us
to gain the whole universe at the cost
of our American conscience, and the re-
spect of the American youth?
We do not have to go far from the Pa
cific coast or even our own city for an
example of the public servant being un-
true to his trust. See how thatecounter-
acts the patriotism taught in our schools.
AS well as being responsible for Juvenile
courts, for we know that thoughts are
things and go out on airy wings, we
know not where--but tits proven that the
small boy has absorbed some from our
city hall, much to our shame.
In all our Investigations for a remedy
for present discordant, undesirable con-
ditions. we come to the same conclusion
this one little word of seven letters,
namely honesty-is the keynote that will
change to satisfying conditions In the
welfare of humanity as well as the Amer
lean nation. for all nations are repre-
sented here, and through these we reach
out to all on this planet.
This helps us to realize our great and
grave responsibility. And as we look
back upon the rise and fall of great ma
tions let us take heed In time lest We too
shall fall A word to the wise is suf-
fcient.
