STOPPED TO SALUTE HOGS.
One Man at Least Grateful to the
Source of His Wealth.

1.-THE Interpreter" in the American
Magazine says of respectful father
he once knew:
Isn't it time we took off our hats
and thanked this pleasant land for the
good things it has done for us by go
ing on patiently covering up our blum
ders, rectifying our mistakes, and re-
spending cheerfully to our every in
telligent effort?
81 knew a man out west who had
the right idea about it. His father
had made a great fortune in the pork
packing business. The heir was not
puffed up by his millions. Long after
he had grown accustomed to the
money and might reasonably be ex'
pected to look down on butchers, if in
walking in the country with his chill
dren they saw a drove of hogs on the
road, he would make his little boys
stand at attention and take off their
hats. L want them to respect the
sources of wealth. he said"

In little church in Maryland, not
far from Washington, the motive pow

arm of an industrious Irishman.
During a recent service there the
choir got into trouble and, to cap the
climax, during the confusion that en-
sued, the organ suddenly stopped.
The situation was not greatly re-

UNION Fertilizer COMPANY

The most important industry in
Southern California Is the growing of
citrus fruits. Annual crops can be
made to bear good crops and be kept
in good condition by the system of crop
rotation, but with a citrus orchard the
conditions are different, their only de-
pendence is. upon fertilizers. Proper
fertilization is one of the essentials of
successful orange and lemon growing,
and in consequence the manufacture of
fertilizers is one of the most important
Industries in Southern California.
There are no less than half dozen
large manufacturers and dealers in fer
tilizers in Los Angeles. and foremost
among them is the Union Fertilizer
company. To make good fertilizers re-
uuires that, in addition to knowing
how, one should have good materials,
for without good materials none can
make good fertilizers.
The Union Fertilizer company owns
practically all of the bird guano and
phosphate on the Pacific coast OF Mex
leo, and in addition always carries a
large supply of all the other fertilizer
materials, such as nitrate of soda, sui
phate of potash, blood, bone, tankage
and bat guano.
The best guarantee of the quality of
the Union Fertilizer company's product
is the fact that it is company or
orange growers, heavy consumers of the
fertilizers the company makes.
The officers of the company are r.
P. Rithet, president; A. P. Harwood,
vice president, and w. H. Doty, Sec
retary and manager.
The Offices of the company are 324
and 1876 Copp building, and the factory
on the Ell Monte road, where all are
welcome at any and all times.
