RANCHES OFFER WORK TO
MEN WITHOUT EMPLOYMENT
Associated Charities EndeaVor to Aid
Idle to Secure Positions in the
Orange Belt-WiIl Supply
transportation

New fields of work are to be opened for
those seeking employment. Efforts are
being made by the Associated Charities
and county charity board to find work
for men among the orange groves in any
of the ranches out in the orange belt.
The number asking for aid has been so
great officials of the organizations have
been hard set to find work for even por-
ton of the applicants.
The new field of work promises to be
one which will offer employment to many
more than could find positions in Los
Angeles and immediate vicinity. Hun
dreds are working out on the ranches
in the orange belt, and the fruit grow
ers have need of many men at this sea-
son of the year. The charity organiza-
lions will gladly receive requests from
any OF fruit grower or ranch owner, even
as far distant as Riverside, and If the
request be authentic will send, free OF
charge to the employer a man to do the
work.
This is work to which most of the mer
seeking employment from charity organi
cations are not accustomed. But, as one
official pointed out, they are intelligent
men. eager for work of any kind anC
willing to pitch into any sort of employ
ment with all their power.
They are thus, the officer said, thu
best material from which to get expert
in this fruit business. Ranch owners ant
fruit growers can therefore obtain will
ing workers capable of soon learning thi
line of work sent, transportation prepaid

While sewing a button on her hus-

West Twenty-third street, accidentally
roticed a police bulletin in a pocket.
This bulletin had the description and
printed picture of Louis Abernsdorff'
wanted in Chicago on charge of robbing
sigmund Cohen of s4220 worth of dia-
monds last August.
The picture of the man reminded Mrs,
Hendrickson of the milkman who deliv-

son told her husband of the resemblance
and he waited for the man the next morn
ing.
The man arrived and was in the act OF
placing the milk on the steps when Hen
erickson grabbed him. After severe
struggle Hendrickson arrested the man

his hat, because he had left 1t in his

he doesn't talk through his face either.
However, Coram isn't so much. The
