l6SgE2GI From the date of its organ
ization it has been the pride
of the people represented by it in the
entire district, and these have respond
ed cheerfully and generously to every
demand where the welfare of the school
required a sacrifice.
Located at the center of one of the
richest agricultural sections in Los An
geles county, supported by a cultured,
wealthy constituency, the great ma
jority of which came from the east
where educational advantages are of
first Importance, the Hollywood Union
high school has a singularly auspicious
career and bids fair to rival the very
best institutions in the state-even
claiming greater advantages.
With modern buildings, splendidly
equipped; a campus of twelve and one
half acres, beautifully situated as to
scenic outlook; with an experienced,
able faculty of instructors and the best
school spirit among the students pos
sible to incite, it is no wonder the de-
mands for admission to the institution
tax every facility of the grounds and
buildings.
The aim of the school is to bring out
the best there is in the boy and the
girl, to inculCate manliness and Wom-
anliness in their every fiber, and to
send them out when graduated splen-
did specimens of physical, mental and
moral young men and women.
Character is the foundation of all
success, and this thought is kept pri-
marily before the minds of the stu
dents of the school.
The curriculum, part of which is elec-
tive, of course, offers eight courses of
study These courses when completed
satisfactorily equip the pupil for ad-

SOOTHING AT RELIGION.

We heard one of our young men
making sport of religion in front
of our offire the other evening.
His moustach had just began to
sprout, and Judging from his talk
his mental faculties were not as
we'll developed as his moustach.
During our brief stay upon earth
we have seen many just such young
men cold in death. We have seen
the atheist at rest in his casket,
but before being consigned other
last resting place they have been
carried through the doors of a
church and prayers said over them.
This young man could deride
Christians and scof at religion in
his strength and beauty of health,
but if the dark angel should get
after him he would instinctively
regret what he said and look into
the future with fear and trembling
When one stands before the open
door of eternity his desire to scott
at religion vanishes.
We admit there are bad men in
the church, but even these black
sheep in the flock might be blacker
if they were outside the fold. No
young manor old one either
should condemn the noble efforts
the army of Christian men and
women are making toward better
ing the condition of humanity,
and whether we attend church or
not but few of us would desire to
live in a community where there
was no church.
Young man, in the future, ifyou
must scoff ut religion and deride
Christians, please get little fur
Their from our Office if you do not
want to see your name in print.

uTASHINGTON.-Uncle Sam is now
w too big, too prosperous and too
much in a hurry even to count his
money, and instead of counting his
coins by hand he simply runs them
through a sort of hopper, operated by
electricity, and an automatic register
shows how many go through. The
coins fall into a bag and are tied up
n sealed, the government guaran-
teeing that the correct number are in
the bag.
The machine can make no mistake,
hence Uncle Sam feels safe in making
his guaranty. In this way all the
money is now being counted out at
Washington, to go to the subtreas-
uries and banks throughout the coun-
try. The treasury does a great deal
OF counting of money, and for. the
purpose women are employed rather
than men, as it has been found after
long experience that the women make
fewer mistakes. Hence the operators
who sit at the electric machines and
pour the silver stream into the hop
pers are of the female sex.
But there is n place in the life of
the coin where it must be counted by
hand, and that is when it comes back
to the treasury for redemption.
The money then must be gone over
by hand to separate the foreign, mu-

A GENERAL cleanup of the records
"A OF the postofice department in
Washington recently brought to light
a list of postal routes existing in the
United States in 1909, together with a
schedule of the time in which those
routes should be. covered. The pam
phlets were issued by Gideon Granger,
who was postmaster general under
Jefferson in 1901 and continued under
Madison in 1909. They are the earli-
est records of their kind now in the
possession of the department.
In front of each pamphlet is a list
of the rules and regulations which
governed the distribution of the mails
just 100 years ago. They were brief
u to the point, and contained some
curious stipulations. In addition, the
pamphlet contained fines levied upon
mail carriers for delivering wet mails
n for other shortcomings.
The general rules were as follows:
Il. The postmaster general may ex-
pedite the mails and after the time
of arrival and departure at any time
during the continuance of the con

ceives to be an adequate compensa-

be occasioned thereby.

Chickens Adopted by a Police Cat

From time to time their pitiful chirps
could be heard, and as night came on
these increased in frequency and
plaintiveness. The chirps came from
under a stable in the rear of the sta
ton, where the two little foundlings
had sought shelter.
Members of the precinct command
say that during the evening the cat
appeared to be acting strangely. In
stead of roaming about the squad
room, as was her usual custom. she
wandered about the rooms on the
lower floor of the station, and occa-
sionally made visits to the basement.
No significance was given her queer
actions, but many of the policemen
wondered why their feline mascot did
not visit them and get her usual even
ing pettings.
The next morning the cause Of the
cats strange actions was explained,
when the strange little bundles of
feathers were discovered, but within
a few minutes she put in her appear
ance.
She Immediately started to attend
to her motherly duties. The little fol-
lows were true to their adopted moth
er from the very first.
