1t does not pay to advertise, say
some merchants who do but little
of it and that without keeping it up.
The incident of the boy and the
pump illustrates the matter very
we'll. He poured in the priming
and pumped out as much as he
poured in. Then he stopped to rest
and the priming ran down. After
some time of alternate priming and
resting he concluded it did not pay
to pump and he quit in disgust.
The merchant who does not believe
in advertising does it like the boy
did the pumping. He advertised
few weeks and then stopped a while
and allowed the people to forget
him and his business before he ad-
vertised again-and then concluded
advertising didn't pay.

FEDERATION OF
CATHOLIC SOCIETIES

The Los Angeles Federation of Cath
Ole Societies has sent out the follow
ing to the councils of the knights of
Columbus in Southern California;:
Gentlemen; At a meeting of the
Federation of Catholic Societies held at
Father Meyer hall, in this city, dele
cation from the Pasadena council of
Knights of Columbus was present to
obtain information regarding the aims,
objects and work accomplished by the
federation.
"a committee was appointed and au-
thorized to prepare and present cir
cular letter for the purpose of inform
ing the Pasadena council and other
councils of Southern California of the
work of the federation, and to ask the
support of the different councils by
instructing their delegates to the ma
tional convention at st. Louis to favor
the movement of uniting with the fed
GRAFTON.
What has the federation accom-
plkshed? This question may be an
swered by citing a few of the many
things that it has done in the past few
years. Prominent among them may be
mentioned: The creation of a Catholic
public opinion in the United States;
the correction of prevailing errors in
regard to our religion, and in convinc-
ing our non-Catholic brethren of our
loyalty to the government; the repeal
of the obnoxious marriage laws of
CUBA; the betterment Of conditions in
the Philippine islands: the appoint
ment of Catholic chaplains in the army
and navy; the permission for the cele-
bration of holy mass in the navy yards
and public institutions; assisting Indi-
an and negro missions; the introduce
ton of Catholic books In public libra
ries; the restoration by the government
of rations to Catholic Indian scholars:
the defeat OF the Bard appointment af-
Los Angeles herald., 1908-07-19

fecting the rights of Catholic Indians;
the final acceptance of the Father Mar
quette statue by our government, ana
many others which might be men
toned.
Locally we may justly point to one
achievement, which, If nothing else had
been accomplished tustif1es the exist
ence and shows the necessity for this
federation. We refer to the proceed
ings against the Whittier union high
school, and the adjudication thereof,
which has received the approval of the
county and state superintendent OF
schools and the attorney general, and
which will make 1t forever impossible
to make sectarian institutions out of
our public schools.
I'VE beg you to use your influence
for the federation. By so doing 1t is
certain that the Knights of Columbus
cannot lose their own autonomy nor
diminish their influence. On the con-
trary, both will be extended into a new
and wider field.
Organization is always necessary,
but united action is indispensable If we
are to accomplish the greatest good to
the greatest number.
"Fraternally yours,
III. A. ROBINSON,
III. C. DILLON.

city part of the time. He is an en-

be able to attend the meetings of the
camp.
Everybody is looking forward to the
time of getting into the new hall. A
great time is promised and it is certain
that Deputy Julian Herbelin will have
a rousing class for adoption on that
night. Let every member of our camp
give a boost. There is no room for
knockers. Only boosters are wanted.
The camp has ordered new uniforms
for the team, and they will look spick
and span when they are seen on
as fine and clean a set of boys as any
camp in the country can boast of. 1t is

tests at the log rolling at San Diego In

And, by the way, this log rolling
promises to be the thing of the year in
the southwest, and those who are not
lucky enough to attend will miss some
thing good, indeed. 1t is believed that
at least 1900 Woodmen and their
friends and families will go from Los
Angeles, and the entertainment that
is promised by the neighbors in our
southern metropolis Is of the highest
order both as to quality and quantity.
