L. Hardy has been with this church Tor
two and a half years.
The Baptist people of our city have
until this season worshiped and worked
heartily in the other churches. For
some months now they have held their
CWn service, meeting in the Masonic
Eau. Rev. A. H. Lloyd is serving them
very acceptably as their pastor, and
they will doubtless organize a church
and provide themselves a church home
in the near future.
OF Christ church (EpiscopaD, Broad
way, near Pearl street, one who knows
the church and priest we'll writes the
following: "Christ church parish is
presided over by the Rev. Father de
Garmo, a priest whom everybody re-
spects and whom to know is to love-
His heart goes out in sympathy to all
in need, and to such he offers the con-
solations of the Catholic religion. The
spirit of the parish, as inspired by him,
is the Christ spirit. The public worship
here is in accordance with the time
honored custom of the church in an

esque spots for which Redondo Beach
is justly renowned"
The Roman Catholic church will soon
be greatly changed. At least double its
present capacity is imperatively needed,
and the plans are already being drawn
for large addition. 1t has been neces-
sary to hold two masses the past sea-
son to accommodate the people who
wish to worship with them. Father
Ferrer, in the eight months of his pas
torate, has seen the church double it's
numbers.
The Christian Scientists have a good
hall and reading room at 226-S South
Pacific avenue. They have had Sun
day school and morning and evening
services on Sunday, and a Wednesday
evening meeting. Their reading room
is open afternoons from to o'clock.
They are constantly increasing in num-
bers.
A Peniel mission has held street
meetings and gospel meetings each
evening the past year.
Other churches are seriously cOnsid-
ering holding services, and the growth
of our city will soon make room for all
the leading denominations
REV. w. r. HARDY.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-03

IN THE growth of Redondo Beach
the religious organizations have
had their share, as will appear
from the following general facts;
The Methodist Episcopal is the larg-
est church in the city. Four years ago
they built the spacious church building
shown in the cut, also the parsonage
Ii is centrally located and has seating
capacity sufficient to accommodate un-
ion meetings, which are often held here
The church membership has largely IN
creased and the Sunday school more
than doubled during the term of the
retiring pastor Rev. F. A. Ziegler. rms
church meets its current expenses with
ease, and makes a desirable church
home for the Methodist people who
come to our city.
The Congregational church, as seen
with it's parsonage adjoining, has de
srable plant in most central part of
the city 4 few years ago it was
weak, struggling church, carried by the
Home Missionary society but 1t has
recently taken on new life and become
a self-supporting and prosperous or
ganization.
The Redondo Retreat was held here
the past summer, a religious summer
gathering under the auspices of the
Evangelical Prayer union of Los Ange-
les. 1t is expected that this will be re-
peated next summer and become an
assembly of great interest to the church
people of Southern California. Rev. w.

AN UNAPPREcIATED GIFT

1t is rude to look a gift horse in the
mouth-but it is also wise for the giVer
to inquire what sort of a horse would
be most welcome A writer in Tit
Bits" reports a happening in the Per
kins family bearing on this point.
When old Mr. Perkins left the house
in which he had lived for forty years
and arrived with all his household
goods and treasures at the home of his
son there was trouble.
One of his most treasured family
heirlooms was missing-a big family
album bound in full calf Mr.. Perkins
was incOnsOlable. I've used it regular
for years" he said, land l wouldn't
have lost it for worlds"
Never mind" said his son, "we'Il
see what can be done about it."
A little later he appeared with a new
album, beautifully bound in crimson
plush, with great brass clasps, which
he presented to his father.
On seeing it the old mans jaw fell
to an alarming degree. He banged
his withered fist on the table with
force.
I'm the name of goodness" he said,
"who could strop a razor on that?"

Handling AlfnIfn,. crop.

Methods of handling the alfalfa crop
from the time OF seeding until 1t is In
the barn In the form of weIl-cured hay
are given by the Wisconsin Station bull
letin. In brief, 1t is as follows: The
best soil for alfalfa is rich clay loan
over a grayelly subsoil. II Is best on
well-cultiyated soils. IL the nitrogen
forming bacteria are not In the soil,
the soil should be lnoculated. Spring
sowing Is the best. Where ground is
inclined to be weedy use a nurse crop,
barley sown at the rate OF three packs
to the acre being the best. Thin seed
ing OF the nurse crop is preferable.
Twenty pounds Of alfalfa seed per acre
is recommended The year following
the seeding three good crops of hay can
be expected. Cut when about one-tenth
of plants are In bloom and on n morn
ing after the dew has disappeared on
a day that promises fair weather. Cut
stubble at least an inch high In the
afternoon of the day cut, rake and put
into small cocks These cocks can be
covered with light cotton duck caps
and left until the hay is thoroughly
cured.

man is born to do a certain work in
an original way. If he tries to copy

misfit, failure.

Fad OF the Hotel Clerk.

A few nights ago a yonng fellow
strolled up to the clerks desk at the
Coates House and began running a
finger down the list of signatures, says
the Kansas City Star. He evidently
did not find the name he was looking
for. so he turned the leaves back and
started to close the register.
A terrified look came over the
clerks face and he seized the young
fellows wrist with both hands. The
book fell back open.
"Here-why "" the young fellow ex-
claimed in surprise "Who do you take
me for? Mrs. Guinness in disguise?
was Just looking for name on the
register
"Why. didn't you know" explained
the clerk, that the greatest calamity
that can happen to hotel is for its
register to be closed? That is our one
superstition. If you did that at some
hotels know of in the southwest the
proprietor would shoot you
The clerk glanced down at the open
register and shuddered.
"There is a company" he observed,
talking half to himself, that makes a
holder which clamps around your book
and nobody can close 1t. Think I'll or
der one of 'em tomorrow. The fortunes
of the house are in an exceedingly ex-
posed position, lying there as they do"

mouth and keep the wind away"
A man asleep is certainly a sight to
make angels weep. What good is all
his brain, muscle, backing, nerve, in
fuence, and family connections? He's
at the mercy of his enemies, and more
so Of his friends And he's about as
beautiful as a cab-horse leaning against
the Metropolitan Opera House at IL 80

as different. No matter how she looks,
you know it's better for all hands for
her to be that way.

Produce Price. Going Higher,

From the figures of report by the
bureau of labor there has been ex-
tracted the interesting fact that sale
prices Of nearly everything reached a
higher level last year than at any time
/ during the last eighteen years, and the
| farm produce leads all the rest
The bureau divides the 25S comnod-
ties Of the country into nine groups
and farm produce showed the highest
increase In price attained by any Of
the groups And the encouraging feat
ure OF the report Is that the panic OF
last year did not affect prices of farm
stuff very much. In fact, taking every
thing sold, the farmer got more money
In 1907 than the average OF ten years
before.
Som farmers may not know this, but
1t Is true, because Mr.. Powderly's bu-
reau says 80. Aside from the musty
figures Of a departmental report, the
fact is evident that the farmers of this
country are more prosperous than they
have ever been. 1t is shown In better
houses, bigger barns. fatter bank ac-
counts, fewer mortgages, better ma
chinery, and, more important than any
thing else, higher standard Of living
for the family.
There is one small fly In the oint-
ment, however, and that is the fact
that while farm produce has been rails
Ing In price, clothing, implements, lum-
Der and building materials, house fur
nishlng goods and some other things |
farmers must buy have gone up, too.
But as these commodities have not |
kept pace with the advance in the
price of things the farmers have to sell
they may ON the whole feel that they
are gaining ground and that agrlcul-
ture is not to be despised

Grasses Everywhere.

Grasses are widely distributed. We
usually think OF them ms existing In
our temperate zones only. because here
we have the perennial pastures and
meadows, They are, however, to be
found so far north that the soil is
frozen under them during the greater
part Of the year, while they are also
common TO parts Of the South where
the frost Is never known. Even the
tops that are clothed with
perpetual snow have Just below the
snow line their carpets OF poas that
grow and bloom through BRIEF period
every year, The grasses push hard
against the eternal SHOWS.

CONFLICTING Evidence.

A learned judge was explaining the
intrlcacies of evidence to a young
friend, says the Washington Star, and
gave the following story in regard to
conflicting evidence.
Usually, he said, one statement is far
more probable than the other, so that
we can decide easily which to believe.
