THE VULNERABLE POINT

Mrs. Holt could be depended upon at
almost any time to say the wrong
thing with the best intentions in the
world. Nobody minds what poor
dear Fany Holt says" her friends told
each other when repeating her re-
marks. I'VE know she means all
right"
isn't 1t queer how differently things
affect people?" one of Mrs. Holt's
neighbors said to her the day after a
beach picnic" I'VE both got tired
to death, you and 1. but you say you've
had just a little bit of indigestion,
while l have this fearful blind head
ache"
"Why. that's perfectly natural" said
Mrs. Holt cheerily. "Of course when
people are tired out, it goes straight
to the weakest part of them; mine is
my stomach, and everybody knows
yours is your head, poor dear!"-Bos-

SINKING OF WELL MAY
RESULT IN LITIGATION
Citizens Water Company by Mistake
Completes Work on An
others Property

SAN BERNARDINO, March GA
strange mistake has just came to light
which will probably result in interest
ing negotiations and possibly litigation
between the Citizens Water company
of Bloomington and the Lytle Creek
Water and Improvement company
Seeking to increase it's water supply
the former company started to sink
well on the Raynor ranch, its property
When the depth of 100 feet was reached
it was decided that a more promising
point could be found The well was
then abandoned and work was started
about 900 feet south, and here a well
was sunk to the depth of 470 feet. An
excellent flow of water has been OBJ
tanned.
But now it has been discovered that
the second well sunk is on the property
of the Lytle Creek company and not
on the RayrOr ranch. The well borers
crossed the property line about $50 feet.

RAPID GROWTH OF POMONA
is REVEALED BY STATISTICS
Much Care to Be Taken in Coming
Census in Order to Secure
Accurate Figures

POMONA, March 6.-The continued
growth of this city is we'll indicated
by the increase in subscribers to the
local Home Telephone company, in
membership of the public library and
in consumers of gas with the local
Edison company.
There are now 5000 subscribers in
the Home Telephone company's new
directory as against 376 six years
ago. There are nearly $500 registered
members at the local public library.
There are 1910 gas consumers now
against $40 five years ago and about
224O users of electric lights against
614 on the Edison books five years
ago.
The city's expansion is shown in the
enrolment at the local public schools,
which several years ago was 1900 and
is now about 2200. Much care will
be exercised in taking the coming
census in order to record accurately
Pomona's actual population.

TREE SURGEONS SAVE
HISTORIC LIVE OAK
PASADENA LANDMARKS OFTEN
IN DANGER
Specialists Perform Operation on
Trunk Which Assures Growth.
A New Lease on EX-
istence
rsnecial TO The Herald.l !

PASADENA, March 6--The historic
live oak tree at California street and
Orange Grove avenue, which is known
by practically every resident and Vlsl-
tor in the city IS a resting place on
the way to and from the Busch gar
dens, has been saved after several
days work by Gilbert II. Bishop and
II. Ashley Ely, tree surgeons of Los
Angeles and graduates from an agrl-
cultural college in New York.
The tree is one of two which were
saved by Calvin Fletcher when he laid
out the streets there thirty seven years
ago, and at that time it was larger
than at present. 1t was the gathering
place for members of the Indiana cox
ony at an all-day ricnic in 1873 when
the land which was owned by twenty
seven men in common was segregated
by lot to the individuals into tracts IN
proportion to their holdings.
The first post office, the first school
house and the first two churches IN
Pasadena were located near this land
mark and it was proposed at one time
to make that the business center. Ihe
tree has been guarded and nursed
through all these years by residents III
the neighborhood. and at one time an
armed guard was stationed there TO
prevent the limbs being cut by house
movers and on another occasion TO
prevent removal by the street car com
pany when lines were laid on Califor-
mia street.
About fifteen years ago the tree
caught fire through the carelessness OF
boys who were smoking out bees, ana
the fire department saved the treasure
The burned places were filled in with
concrete by H. M. Singer, retired
stone contractor from Chicago who
lived near the spot before his death
ten years ago and who acted as guard
ian for the tree. 1t was the decayed
places around this cement which ne
cessitated calling on the tree special,
lists recently. A rustic bench around
the tree was built by Thomas Nelmes
twenty-five years ago, but this was
destroyed in the fire.
Since the death of Mr.. Singer Coun-
Gilman Barnes has been acting as Gus
todian and the West Side Water COM
many has furnished a hydrant and wa
ter to preserve the ancient oak. Ihe
hoard bench which surrounded the
tree until recently removed by the
tree doctors was built by Councilman
BARNES from lumber furnished by the
CITY. "The bench was to have been
painted by DR.. Robert ]. Burdette,' he
said. but it was neglected and we Will
see that he paints the new one When
he returns from Hawaii"

"I'll remember. papa"
The train moved off and she was

to tell you that he was taking good
care of the flowers"
