OLIVES


 l: The olive is a fruit with the man ners of a pickle. It belongs to one 1 of the oldest families and was men toned in literature two thousand years before the alligator pear was invented.
 The olive grows on dusty colored tree and prefers countries which are dryer than Kansas after a local op tion election. It has two specialties producing puckers and oil. When the olive is eaten in its green state it acts upon the human frame like an unripe pcrsimmon and ties the face of the eater into an exceedingly hard knot. Eating a fresh young olive newly plucked from the tree is more unpleasant than eating a few fresh words addressed to the boss in a moment of anger.
 When the olive is plucked at the proper time and squeezed in a sort of prehistoric cider mill it produces olive oil. This is very nutritious and fattening. Most of the characters mentioned in the Bible had olive oil for a steady diet. There are many tribes today in old and dusty DOT tions of the earth which would dry up and blow away if they were not
 
 The olive tree originally grew only around the Mediterranean Sea, but like every other good thing has emi- grated to America and can now be found in vast numbers in California. l. is not a large tree. rarely attain ing a height over twenty-five feet. However it consumes several hun dred years in getting it's growth. Nothing is more permanent in the. fruit line than an olive orchard. The armies of the B. C.'s wiped out the population of a country without any hesitation, but were careful not to destroy the olive orchards. However in the present state of international law it would be a very reckless or chard which did not move out at the. approach of a modern army.
 When the olive is not ground into oil it is pickled and eaten whole. Shiploads of olives are eaten in this country each year. but very few peo- pie who eat an olive for the first time forget their manners in grab ping for a second helping. Learning to like an olive is as much of task as learning to appreciate impression ist art Many a young man has sat at 9 fine party slipping olives into his pocket and eagerly shouting for more, because his early education was neglected.

SEXTON JUMPS
 0N EVOLUTION
Calls Evolutiomsts Subtle and Dangerous Enemies of observation-disclosures Speaks Before a Large Audience

E. D. Sexton Of Los Angeles spoke to of Music on the topic Where Are The Dead" Mir Sexton is a very interest ing and forceful speaker and quite humorist, his sallies of wit driving clinched by scripture quotations. MT. Sexton declared at the outset his in tention was to prove all things by the Bible which after all is the only re- lia ble history of the human race from it's beginning and the only place where reliable information on the topic of the evening could be obtained. MT. Sexton paid his compliments to the higher critics and evolutionists in passing and procla med them to be the most subtle and dangerous enemies to the Bible in Christendom. He also attacked the doctrine of eternal torture showing that it is neither scriptural nor req son. able, but is a blasphemous doctrine matched in the dark ages when men did not understand God any better than to burn one another at the stake for diff ferences of opinion on doctrinal mat ters. MT Sexton showed that Gods plan is harmonious and beautiful, and God is mercifuI and compassionate with promises of blessings to all his creatures, that he has provided a re- demption from death for all men and eternal life and blessing for all who under the reign of Christ shall become ohedient to the Divine will and eternal destruction to all who when given a fair and favorable opportunity shall prove willfully and persistentIy diso- bedient. In the meantime alI-both good and bad are in their graves await ing the resurrection time.
 Mir. Sexton regretted that he was not able to take up the argument of first and second resurrection but promised to come back next Sunday and give an other lecture under the title of "The Holy City,
 MT. Sexton leaves for Los Angeles tonight but will return next Sunday making the trip solely to give this lee ture. Like the lecture last night no ad- mission will be charged and no collec- tiOn taken.

CURFEW SHALL NOT RING
 BUT CURFfW DOES RING

"Curfew shall not ring tonight" de- creed Fire Chief A. F. Wright on Fri day. and the big bell in the city hall tower did not sound a warning that night to youngsters to get off the streets A custom established for years in this city was broken in one fell swoop and citizens generally wond- cred.
 On Saturday the attention of the chief was brought to provisions of Or dinance Nc 351. requiring the ringing of the bell every aic-. .. nine o'c.ock. And on Saturday night curfew was rung as it had been all along with the single exception of the previous night or on such occasions as the fire de- partment might be engaged in fighting fire at the hour when the bell was sup posed to be rung.
 The ringing of the bell in connection with fire alarms has been definitely abandoned, and it may be that at some date in the near future the curfew ordinance may be repealed so far as concerns ringing the bell and then the big bell in the city hall tower will be silent absolutely.

LOSING GROUND
By Walt Mason

Old Booze is slipping slowly: some day his graft unhoIy will fizzIe out or burst; then all of us will totter to hydrants for the water to slake our raging thirst Old Booze his grip is losing. for worllingmen are choosing to leave the suds alone: long years of earnest thinking has shown them how the drinking good men has over thrown. Not sentimental speaking not lurid platform shrieking, has brought this thing about; not irony CT scoffing. not frantic John B. Coughing, has put old Booze to rout An age of competition won't stand for the condition that Barleycorn en- tails: the world a weary stage is for one who blows his wages to open kegs of nails. Employers plead no longer with one whose breath is stronger than is a gas exhaust: they say, You're quite too frisky; you're touching up the whiskey, and so your job you've lost No sentiment is wasted; if they suspect he's tasted a Dannikin of beer, they fire him through the transom. his luck is also ransome, he's in the street named Queer. So men of sense are quitting the touching up and hitting of all the babbling brOoklets. and have their savings booklets, and happy kids at home.

MUSIC TAUGHT
 BY PHOAOGRAPH

William Conrad Mills has installed photograph in his vocal studio in the Chamber of Commerce building, on which his more advanced pupils will record and reproduce songs He says that some of the most noted vocal teachers of the day have found the phonograph to be of much value in supplementing criticisms of ton production and diction.
 The phonOgraph is not to be con sidered in the light of a voice culture instrument but simply as a means to bring vividly to the attention of the students the defects IS indicated by the teacher. The training of the stud ent's ear to recognize pure tones is one of the fundamentals of good teaching, and clear and distinct enunciation of the text is an essential of artistic singing.
 By reproducing songs registered on a wax record by the students very comprehensive idea may be gained of ali manner of defects which are more easily remedied when brought so clearly to their attention.
