Reorganization ForetoId

Gould is reorganizing his properties
and is framing system of manage
ment not unlike that under which the
Hartman system is administered. He
himself will be concerned with the
financial features of the properties.

1t has been known to few persons
here that such a reorganization was
contemplated. Attention was directed
in the colume of The Call some three

changes. Just when they will occur in

Children Interfere

Kohler was acquitted after two trials
on a complaint charging fraud. While
these troubles were in progress it was
discovered that Beck had entered into
a contract with his mother in law
whereby he was to trade his ranch for
a lodging house in San Francisco. The
children were able to get an injunction
and stop the deal.
His newest wife was formerly post
mistress at substation o, Fern avenue
and Franklin street. In the spring of
1910 she was suspected of stealing
money from registered letters. and by
means of a marked bill her guilt was
established Later in the year she
pleaded guilty to the charge and served
out sentence of 80 days in the federal
prison In Oakland in lieu of paying a
$3.50 fine.
Beck is one of the oldest and best
known residents of the Livermore val
ley. He has a magnificent ranch and
at one time was superintendent OF the
Alameda County Beet Sugar company.

His Troubles Begin

Beck's matrimonial difficulties began
in earnest about two years ago. after
the death of his second wife which was
caused by the lodging of bone cross
ways in her throat The pioneer
rancher sought the aid of match max
ing bureau not run by Cupid and in a
few months contract had been signed
by mail and Beck came to San Fran
cisco to get his wife.
The surprise in his family when the
father returned was only equaled by
Beck's own amazement when wife No.
Immediately started suit for divorce,
together with extravagant demands for
alimony. The ranch was attached by
the woman, as well as other property
held by her spouse.
An investigation by Beek's children
disclosed the unromantic source of
their new stepmother and further that
she had been one of the proprietors of
the matrimonial bureau that had
trapped him. Her partners were her
mother and her first husband. who was
named Kohler. Criminal proceedings
were commenced and although 1t was
necessary to force Beck to testify, Mrs.
Beck No. was sent to the penitentiary

MUCH IMPROVED
Memphis, Tenn, April g.
With flood conditions much i'm
proved and the worst probably
passed, according to reports re
ceived in Memphis from through
out the flooded Mississippi val
ley, government steamers, boats
of all kinds and trains, are being
rushed to all point stoday in an
effort to rescue marooned flood
victims and live stock.
The breaking of the levees near
here relieved the situation great
ly, although resulting in millions
of dollars damage to property.
About 1000 square miles is now
flooded. The river appeals to be
falling steadily.
The only danger remaining is
now believed to be in the lower
Yazoo levee line, where frantic
efforts are being made to prevent
a break. Memphis is filled with
thousands of homeless, and the
state has established a refugee
camp at Montgomery Park. Pri-
vate homes and public buildings
have also been thrown open to the
flood sufferers.
The property loss to date will
touch the 100000 mark, and
it is estimated that 10000 persons
have been made homeless and 80
drowned.

Irreverence and Profanity.

Editor County Record
Irreverence seems to be growing
amcng the people, and especially
among the young. Time and again |
have seen young people laugh and
talk in Gods house while the serv-
ices were going on. and / have even
seen them reading newspaper
while the minister was preaching.
Parents should teach their children
from their earliest childhood to rev.
erence their Creator, before Whom
the very angels veil their faces.
They should be taught to remember
that when they 60 to church that
Christ Himself is present. for He
has promised to be in the midst
when two or three are gathered in
His name."
People think that because they
don't call Gods name outright that
it does not matter, but there are
some names which people call in g
light and laughing way and some"
times in anger, such as the Great
l AM, Blessed Redeemer", Great
Goodness, and many other names
that are just as much profanity as a
direct use of Gods name irreverent-
ly. We should be very careful not
to fall into the habit of using Gods
name in a light manner, as habit is
second nature"
Jeremy Taylor says that nothing
is greater sacrilege than to prosti-
tute the great name of God to the
petulancy of an idle tongue. Of all
the habits in the world profanity
has no place for use or profit any
where" Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord thy God in vain,
for the Lord will not hold him guilt
less that taketh His name in vain.

DRUGGIST GIVES
MONEY BACK.
DOdsOn'S Liver Tone Gets a -Four Square
Guarantee from @ Il PdtriCk's
DFmQ Store.

When an article is sold a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof
of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver Tone. 1t is a pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for a slow
and slugguish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory-Calo-
mel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous, and no druggist wants
to guarantee that it won't knock you
out of days work and maybe send
you to bed.
OH Patrick sells Dodson's Liver
Tone and guarantees it. For you
and for your children, it's good
thing to keep bottle always in the
house.
OH Patrick will give you your
money back if you think Dodson's
Liver Tone is not worth the price.
Keep your liver working and your
liver will not keep you from work
