RECOGNIZE GOSPEL OF LABOR
Law Of Nature Demands Certain Guam.
tity Of Work From All Kinds
Of People.

"The law Of nature is that q certain
quantity Of work is necessary to pro-
duce certain quantity of good, Of any
kind whatever. II you want knowl-
edge, you must toll for It; and II pleas
ure, you must toll for It" These words
Of John Ruskin are especially appr0-
pirate now, Arthur Hunt Chute writes
In Leslie's.
This admonition is needed not mere
" by the manual laborers, but also by
all classes, and especially by the
poodle takers" of so-called high 80
ciety. An afternoon trip to the most
expensive hotels discloses the fact that
the war has not completely purged 10
from the idle rich. One may encoun-
ter there q new species, formerly
known as a ''lounge lizard" now called
"sofa cootie." A soldier pointed me
out one Of these specimens. exclaim-
ing: 'Think Of our brave who have
fallen. and a thing like that survives!"
We won this war-why1 Because
we needed the law Of sweat. In the
crucial hour our society spewed out
Of it's mouth the idle rich and the idle
poor. We tolerated only one class, the
workers. Vincent Astor and Kingdom
Gould had to step up and do their duty
Just the same as the Fricasinni twins
from "Little Italy" Now that the war
is won. this law Of sweat should re-
main imperative for all classes. Ev-
cry man and every woman owes 4 iutv
Of work to his age, and society Of the
future should be so organized as to In
sist that that debt Is paid.
Referring to the law Of sweat, we
must realize that there are two ways
in which a man may fulfill his obi.
cations, either BY brain sweat or by
Drawn sweat. Rightly speaking. the
mental workers belong just as truly
among the laboring classes as the man.
ual workers. In the truest sense both
are producers.

OLD WELL STILL PRODUCING
Hole Drilled for Oil In p,eo Canyon,
California, Continues to Pour
Forth Wealth.

The first known discovery Of petr0.
leum in California was made In 1855.
by a Mexican hunter, who had followed
a deer trail to the head of Pico canyon
in Los Angeles county. near the pres
ent town of Newhall.
He came upon seepage Of sticky
fluid that was unknown to him.
Prompted by curiosity he collected a
small quantity of It and took 1t to the
mission settlement at San Fernando.
There a Doctor Gelsich, who had for
merly resided in Pennsylvania, identi-
fed It as petroleum and at once formed
q company and staked out claims. In
1870 q shallow well was drilled at the
head Of Pico canyon, and Is said to have
produced at the time Of drilling be-
tween 20 and 20 barrels Of oil per
day.
About this time d. g. Scofield
formed what was known as the Cali
fornia Star OIL company. Later the
Pacific Oil company was formed, and
