"UNCLE DAVE"

Soon after | came to California
in 1924 | met man who was greet
ed by all his friends as Uncle
Dave" or I'D. G." And when l say
all his friends that practically in
cludes the whole town because
Uncle Dave was the oldest man
in the town. He had come there
before there was a town in that
vicinity, having arrived in the south
land in the year 1868.
D. C. league was over twice my

cuaintance or friendship grew
and within short time had been
dubbed as his "side-kick" and our
association almost equalled that of
the Gold Dust twins. Last Friday
morning l received a telegram from
the kid" saying that Uncle Dave
Rad died early Thanksgiving morn
ing. Ninety-one years.
NINETY-ONE YEARS
The leagues left Bloomington.
Iowa on April %, 1865, eleven days
before the Inauguration of Abraham
Lincoln. They were headed for
California. They rode in the typical
conveyance of that day-the praire
clconer. There were IA wagons
the train, mostly drawn by oxen.
Cuuiders always rode ahead or far
to either side to guard against at
tack by Indians. The trip to the
vest coast required five months.
I'D. c." was eighteen yearS old when
the family started for their new
home. They reached Salt Lake City
at the time the present Mormon
Temple foundation was built up
just level with the ground. The
NOrmons were long on vegetables
and short on bacon. The leagues
had stocked heavily with bacon for
their trip and swapped bacon for
vegetables, a slice for a bushel.
Bacon had a value of rs cents per
pound.
After remaining a short time in
the vicinity of Santa Rosa the Tea
que boys pushed down into South
ern California and settled at what
Is now known as San Dimas, thirty
miles east of Los Angeles. All that
country. which is now in citrus, was
desert. They cleared the land and
raised grain.

METHUSELAH-VS-TEAGUE
Methuselah lived to the ripe old
age Of 969 years according to Holy
Writ. ID. c." lived 81 years. In any
quarter of leagues ninety-one
years he lived more than Methusel-

Methuselah could sit down in
the shade of tree on the roadside
in his old age and maybe see a
chance traveller. He could see sheep
and cattle, the run rise and set,
his children grow up and go away
but that is about all. league
could sit on the side of one OF
California's highways and see more

DEITY has evidently never
tasted an olive in its raw
state, else she would not have
confused cured olives and raw
ones. She doesn't know that
any grade of ripe olive above
medium is considered large. The
large olive runs 90-105 per
pound. The intermediate grades
are extra large, mammoth,
giant and jumbo. All are grades
and names according to the
number contained in a pound.
Betty buys the expensive grade
to chop when a less expensive
