PASTOR SUES FOR
SALARY Of S1375
ST. Louis Church Asked to Pay
Preacher Who Worked In
Shoe Factory
MINISTER MUST EARN LIVING
The Rev. James 0giCh Files Ac-
e ton Against Congrega-
tIOn for Back Pay
MINISTER MUST EARN LIVING
ASSOCIATED Press)

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-"Salvation is
free" has been literally interpreted and
applied by the congregation of All
Saints SerVian, orthodox, church, also
known as Holy Trinity Servian church,
against whom the pastor, the Rev.
James Ogich, has filed suit for arrears
in salary amounting to $1375, covering
eighteen months.
In the suit filed yesterday by his
attorney, the Rev. Mr.. Ogich, late Of
Servia, recounts his bread and butter
struggle in q strange country. He says
he received $24 during his eighteen
months pastorate.
The economic humiliations suffered
by him, the pastor asserts, did not ap-
pear to interest members of his con-
gregation. The latter evidently in
trusted the care of their pastor to
Providence, which took the form of a
position in a shoe factory, where the
financially crippled clergyman was
compelled to exchange his clerical
garb for one more in accordance with
the exigencies of his position.
Ogich further AYERS that while he
was undergoing these privations the
S78 a month salary promised to him
was used by members of the congre-
cation to stimulate the social activ-
tiles of the community in the giving
of dances and parties. He alleges that
a portion of the money was diverted
by two prominent" members for sec
ular purposes. He supports his atti-
tude toward the congregation by lib
eral biblical quoting, basing his claim
particularly on the scriptural declar-
alton that he who makes vineyard
is entitled to the fruit, or at least a
portion thereof.

REPORT CONDITION IN
CORN BELT FAVORABLE
Spring Wheat States Get Little
Rain, the Drouth Remaining
Practically Unbroken

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The wealth
er crop conditions for the week ending
August s, as summarized in the Ma
tional Weekly Weather Bulletin Of the
weather bureau, are as follows:
Over most of the great corn growing
states the weather was in the main
favorable, although over some of the
more western portions the rain came
too late to offset the effects of the ex-
cessive heat and dryness of the pre-
ceding week. over the spring wheat
states there was little rain and the
drouth over that district remains prac-
tically unbroken.
Generally favorable weather pre-
vailed over the portions of the cotton
belt of the Mississippi river eastward.
West of the Mississippi conditions We're
favorable in Louisiana, Arkansas and
Oklahoma, but they were generally un-
favorable in Texas.
Good rains occurred over much or
the central and southern portions of
the great plains and the situation or
the Rocky mountain regions, greatly
benefiting the ranges in those districts,
but over the northern portions dry
weather continues, the week being
practically rainless from Wyoming ana
Montana westward, except in portions
of the mountain regions of Montana,
where opportune showers greatly as
sisted in checking the severe forest
fires.
In the Pacific states the usual mid
summer weather prevailed and condi-
tions were favorable for the maturing
and rfpening of fruit. The water sup
ply, however, is diminishing rapidly
and rain is badly needed on the ranges.

RAILWAY URGES MEN TO
BOOM RAISE IN RATES
Instructs Employees to Try to
Convert Opposition

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Passengers trav-
cling over many of the leading railroad
systems soon may be entertained en-
route by dissertations from the con-
ductors and other train employees on
the advantages to be derived from al
lowing the roads to advance freight
rates, if the advice of prominent rail-
road executives to their employees is
followed.
1t was learned today that a pamphlet
is circulating among the 10000 em-
polyes of the Illinois Central, appealing
to the employees to study the railroad
question and discuss it among them
selves until they are thoroughly con-
versant with the actual conditions
from the financial viewpoint.
Having done this, each employe is
urged to try to convert during the
course of a year three or four men
who are now opposed to the railroads.

FOOTHILL FARMS
NEAR THIS CITY

Have you ever hoped to have homo
of one, five or ten &cres-on the foot
hill slopes near Los Angeles?
Haven't you wished that some friend
had taken you by the shoulder and
made you pick up a few acres at Holly
wood, Altadena or Sierra Madre before
they advanced from $500 up to $4,000 an
acre? Those places have passed for
ever from your easy reach.
The Western Empire, California's
famous homeseekers' and rural home
journal, is now completing an organi-
zation of 200 local and eastern readers
to take over 400 acres of land at Sum
land, in the original Monte Vista val
ley. 1t is a mountain hidden valley
seven miles back of Glendale. This
district surpasses Altadena or even
Redlands in it's richness and grandeur,
and is only fifteen miles from the
Chamber Of Commerce building In Los
Angeles. Sunlands Monte Vista val
ley has the best climatic protection OF
any district on the coast side of the
Sierras. Come and see 1t now.
John McGroarty, the famous poet of
our southland, says of his visit: And
l saw vale that day as fair as any in
all the Land Of the Hearts Desire. I
was ashamed to think that had let
the years go by and had wandered far
in quest of beauty, while all the time
Sunland's Monte Vista had been there
in it's ravishing loveliness just beyond
the threshold of my door,"
A few heads of families may join
this organization, which secures this
land at low wholesale price, improves
it with roadways, townsite, schools
and trolley line, and distributes the
land to members so that the total cost
to you is not one-quarter of prevailing
prices in the open retail market.
When this kind Of land is opened 1t
goes up beyond your reach. The dis
trict lies in an open valley running
from Pasadena west to Fernando, in
cluding La Canada, La Crescenta and
Monte Vista-Sunland. Don't try to
imagine about it's conditions-come and
investigate. 1t is only one hour from
town.

NEW SPRING IN COLORADO TOWN

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 9.-Ma-
nitou, whose mineral waters were writ
ten in Indian lore of prehistoric times,
has recently come into possession of
four new highly mineralized springs.
Two of these are of the gusher variety,
one being located near the famous Ute
Iron group of springs. This has gey-
ser action every fifteen or twenty min
utes. The other is close to the Manitou
and Shoshone springs, and spouts every
thirty minutes. The other two were
discovered last winter near the east
end Of Manitou, and both are of the
soda-iron variety and possess a pleas
ant taste, similar to that of the older
waters, while analyses show them to be
impregnated with greater quantity of
mineral.

FRUIT GROWERS TO
STANDARDIzE EXPECTATIONS

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 9.-State Hor-
ticultural Commissioner Jeffrey sent
out letters today to dried fruit pro-
ducers of California, calling their at
tention to a communication he has re-
ceived from importers at Amsterdam
and Rotterdam stating that unless the
California shippers can standardlze
their expectations they will be refused
further business, with Argentina and
Brazil given the preference.
The California fruit preferable, but
the shippers do not make any dlstlnc-
tion between high and low grades. The
Netherlands importers, who also dis
tribute the dried fruits among the
colonies, want to be able to tell from
samples whether the fruits they will
get are worth advance prices or low
figures. Jeffrey suggests that the dried
fruit interests hold a state conference
at which a plan of Standardization can
he formulated.

will take sharp look at the ocean be-

the Red Sea Syaed became crazed by
the heat and jumped overheard. No

he was fighting terrific duel with a
2O-foot man-eating shark. A boat was
lowered, the wounded shark dived and
