As the intellect of our children re-
ceives its training in our schools, so
also must their hearts be trained in
thorough religious instruction from
their very youth. The family is nur-
sery Of society. Alas, when we behold
the goddess Octopus Of divorce grasp
ing OUT community more teuaciously
from day to day, and destroying
family unions by the hundreds; when
we know that Disregard and con.
tempt OF the primo object of the mar
riage state is con inualIy growing in
our midst; when we witness how
thousands who are destined to guard
our dear countrY's future grow up in
utter ignorance of any moral princi-
pie, then we have reason to fear-to
fear that the foundation of Christian
charity, law abiding citizenship and
heroic patriotism In our fatherland is
crumbling at dangerous celebrity
Must we not tremble at the thought
that the chlldreu OF unbeiief are al
ready gathering under the red flag of
radical socialism and anarchism to
overthrow the establishment of peace
full law and order for which our fore
fathers bed May God grant to all
of US here present today the courage
to stand by our true Christian relig-
ion; that by its guidance we may each
and every one of us faithfully per-
form the duties of our own particular
state of life In the commonwealth, so
that with the help and blessing OF
God, we will be useful citizens of our
country and worthy successors OF
d heroic generation. May God bless
those heroes whom we wish TO honor
today, and may we ever render our
selves worthy of their brave example

While there was little abatement in

the advent of spring there will be what
promises q greater influx of tourists
and settlers than has ever been ex-
rerienced by the railroads.
The low rates went into effect Sun
day, and taking advantage of the OPP

nian settlers have already started on
the western trip to escape the March
and April weather that prevails in the
cast the next two months.
The first low rate expedition started
Sunday. While there are no figures
at hand as to the numbers 1t is said
the trains are bearing the limit, and
within a few days this city will be
greeting future tlllers of the soil and
good future Californian citizens. While
thousands are heading this way, max
ing Los Angeles their objective place
yet few will settle here. They are
mostly farmers and already are well
posted on the possibilities of Southern

PitifM Stories of Hardships Are Told
by the Unemployed, Who Ex-
hibit Starving Babes
as Proof

Many men are still employed in road
construction and repairing in Laurel
canyon and the board of supervisors
hope to be able to keep them at work
there for some time.
Notwithstanding the repeated state
ments by supervisors that no more
men can be placed at work, either in
the canyon or at the county grounds,
many persons apply daily at the board S
office in the court house for employ
ment.
The stories they tell of hardship are
pitiful. Daily last week twenty-five to
thirty men applied for work each day.
many of them bringing their wives and
children, hoping their presence would
Influence members to find them work.
These persons are generally referred
to the Associated Charities, whose
branch, although overburdened with
applications, has succeeded in furnish
ing relief in all meritorious cases after
an investigation has been made.
The board of supervisors yesterday
accepted the bid of $2212 submitted by
the Mercereau Bridge and Construction
company to build a 400-foot trestle

HEROIC WORKMAN
SAVES MANY LIVES
pAsHEs THROUGH FIRE AND
STOPS BURNING OIL
Gas Maker Severely Injured While
Attempting TO Prevent Destruc-
ton of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Say He Will Recover

Suffering from severe burns about the
face and hands, Charles Pope, a gas
maker, 81 years of age, was taken to
tho receiving hospital yesterday morn
ing.
Pope is employed at the Peoples Gas
and Coke company, 1870 North Main
street. He was making what is called
a draw" that is, allowing the gas from
the generator to flow through water to
purify 1t.
In some manner gas escaped and
caught fire from a nearby test light.
without taking into consideration the
consequences, Pope dashed through the
burning gas and groped for the stop
cock to shut off the oil that caused
the generation of the gas. He sue
ceeded in stopping the flow of oil.
This caused the gas to die down, and
in a few seconds the flames were ex-
tinguished. The prompt action of the
man undoubtedly saved the building
from destruction and also the lives of
many workmen.
After his injuries were attended at
the receiving hospital Pope was sent to
his home, 215 South Avenue Eighteen.

FINE RANCHES
ARE WANTED
TEN THOUSAND ACRE TRACTS
DESIRED
SEEKS TO GROW RAMlE IN BIG
BULK
w. G. schIichten Plans to Raise a
Fine Grade of Fiber on Land
in Southern CALI
fornia

According to the present calculations
of G.. William Schlichten, head of the
great Ramie fiber industry of the
world, he will by this time next year
have cultivated in Southern California
several thousands of acres OF his fiber.
II enjoyed my trip to Imperial with
the chamber of commerce excursion,
said Mr.. Schlichten yesterday. II have
determined to have several hundreds of
acres of fiber grown at El Centro as
we'll as the same amount in Kern coun-
ty and in the Sacramento valley.
"I would like to have something on g.
much larger scale, however. Take ten
thousand acre tracts, for instance.
Grow the Ramie fiber on the same
ground instead of only on two hundred
acres here and two hundred acres there.
Thus with tracts of ten thousand acres
each I would have great areas of Ra-
mie grown under the Same conditions
and on the same ground. Hence there
would be developed the same length of
fiber. Whereas on several small tracts,
like two hundred acres, we would have
to sort the fiber again.
"The growing of this fiber is some-
thing which takes well with the farm-
ers of Imperial valley and elsewhere.
The idea of every stalk In a years
time growing seventy-two other stalks
and each of these stalks in turn grow
which Is amazing to the average farm
er. 1t is compound interest.
Large Market for Fiber
mot only that. but all he has to do
is to harvest. He can grow his fiber
and l will come in with my machinery
and clean it there. And there is alb
solutely no limit to the market for Ra-
mie fiber.
"The city of New York alone buys
annually of me 100000 worth of un-
derwear.
"I would send my fiber all over the
world. The farmers would have crop
which would be unfailing and would
constantly have the surest market,
and they would have a volunteer crop
after the third year"
Mr.. Schlichten already has planted
near Redlands several hundreds OF
acres with enough fiber roots to trans
plant SO as to grow many times the
acreage of this seed farm The clean
ing machinery was broken on it's way
here from the east. 1t is being re-
paired, but will be in Los Angeles in
time for him to give demonstrations
on March 16.
Mr. Schlichten, who owns great
plants in New York and in Europe as
we'll, would like to have his central
plant In a state like California, where
the milling machinery would be near
the fields bearing the fiber. Hence his
careful scrutiny of Los Angeles and
vicinity for suitable site, where he
may locate an industrial city like Pull
man, ILL.,
The Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce is doing all in it's power
through Secretary Frank Virgins, to
assist Mr. Schlichten to locate in Los
Angeles or vicinity and thus furnish
work for thousands of Industrial work.
