when the present Charter OF the
Cltv OF ontario was adopted It's mu.
niclpal property consisted OF Trunk
Sewer No. | and Trunk Sewer No. 2,
then IN process OF construction. AZ
that time the revenue OF the City
amounted 20 approximately Twenty
Thousand Dollars, (s20.000). per
annum.
AZ the present time the municipal
property owned by the City and un-
der lts care for up-keep and main
tenanee consists OF water sys-
tenn, which cost Ono Hundred Fifteen
Thousand Dollars. (Silb.0O0). thir-
tv-two t32l blocks OF paving. cost
ting Ono Hundred Sixty Thousand
Dollars. (slGO,000l two trunk sew
ers and ten lateral sewers which cost
Ninety-seven Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars. (s97,60QJ. aad other City
property worth Twenty-seven Thous-
and Five Hundred Dollars. (S27.500), T.,
In all the sum OF Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars. (s400.00). The
annual revenue OF the City for all
purposes now amounts TO approx
mately Fifty Thousand Dollars.
(S5O. .O00).
To take charge OF and exercise the
care over this valuable municipal
property seven citizens are selected
by the voters OF the City. who act
In the capacity OF Mayor and Com
mon Council. No other officers are
elected who have anything 10 do with
the caring for the municipal proper
~ All officers 10 whom this pro-
perty is entrusted are appointed by
the Mayor and Council and have no
responsibility, except TO those who
appointed them. On the other hand
the Mayor and Council are directly
responsible 10 the people OF the City
OF Ontario for the management and
care OF these varied municipal in
terests.
In order that this property. which
has been acquired, at so much cost,
10 the citizens OF the City of Ontario,
shall be properly cared for and main
tanned, engenders a vest amount OF
responsibility upon the Mayor and
Council and TO discharge this re-
sponsibility necessttates the giving
uD. by those officers OF a consider
able portion OF their time. for which
they receive no compensation.
Again the present Common Council
Is about to adopt the requisitlOn sys-
tenn in the purchasing OF City supplies
and the employment OF City labor,
which will again make a demand up
on the time OF these officers.

the County Library has been located

the year OF 1920 was not sufficient
for that purpose making this pro-

''Tanlac has not only rid me of my troubles but has added fifteen pounds to my weight" said Joseph A. Dun mire, of 402 Crocker St., Los Angeles Cal. MT. Dunnlire has been a trusted employe of the Los Angles Transfer Co., for twentyseven years.
 Before I started taking Tanlac," he continued, q could not eat a sin gle meal without my food ,fermenting and gas forming so sbad it made me miserable. had rheumatism in my right leg so bad at times I could hardly get about and at night I was too restless to get much sleep I had very little appetite and went down and got so weak T. could hardly do my work
 "Well, sir, in spite of the bad con dition I was in I hadn't taken more than half bottle of Tanlac before I felt hundred per cent better, Now all ny sufferings have stopped con- pletely, can eat three hearty meals every day and sleep like a log at night. I have regained every, pound of my lost weight and am in as good health as a man wants to be. I have started my daughter taxing Tanlac, so you see what think of it."

This condition is true mainly from the fact we are not bless ed with body of trained teacher workers who are able to awaken the desire for educational life and having aroused that desire is able to-meet the real daily needs of the foreign born and stand with him on the com mon ground of these needs, helping and assisting him step by step into a fuller appreciation of what a. larger educational life in Characterization means. Before we can definitely an nounce to the world we are making Americans of the peoples within the limits of our United States we must create much greater corps of work CTS who have a wide knowledge of immigrants, their past histories, their present, the causes of immigration, it's distribution, it's effects upon Ameri- cans. These workers must be trained to maintain a sympathetic attitude towards the foreigner, to understand his needs in civics and citizenship those things which make him a working and interested member of the community.

LARD IN PLACE OF OIL RUNS
 GAR OF ARIZONA GOVERNOR

Phoenix, Aug. 1t-An automobile will run with lard as lubricant, but the resulting odor, would be tantaliz- ing to 8 hungry person, according to Governor Thomas B. Campbell.
 Fording creek in northern Arizona the governors car stalled fn the fine sand. When pulled out by cowboys it had sand all over the machinery. but the oil also had sand in it and straining the oil was found imprac- ticable. No other supply was at hand It was 40 miles to the first place where oil could be obtained. There fore, lard was seized upon as an ex- pedient. A can of it was melted and poured into the places where oil is supposed to be. It worked, the gov ernor said, though the car was driven slowly and carefully to the next station.

It is not impossible, and perhaps not improbable, that children now liy- ing will Tn their old age tell their grandchildren of a dirty black su5- stancecalled coal used in their child hood for heating houses and driving machinery, writes Albert G. Robin. son in"The Outlook (N. Y.) They may also tell of an evil-smelling liquid called gasoline used for the propul- sion of automobiles
 Supply Being Exhausted 85
 As conditions of our daily life, we are prone to regard coal and gasoline very much as We regard air and wa ter, as things. that because they now are, therefore must always have been and must always be-
 But reference to official records prepared and published by the gov ernment shows the production of coal in 1874, barely more than hundred years ago, as 20 tons. That is much less than half load for a present day gondola. Tn 1S40 the output had increased to nearly two million tons. It reached 100,000,000 tons n 1883, and 640,000,0O0 tons in 1917. The rec ord shows no petroleum output until 1860, when '21,00O,0O0 gallons were produced, or about one seventh hun dredth of the present yield.
