(Scrlppg News Association)
New York, June 26. A S50 candle,
fifteen feet ir height, weighing 182 pounds
and guarenteed to burn continuously for
eighteen months, has just been shipped
from here to Tampa, Fla.. where Mrs.
Raffaella Bella Cloce will place it' in a
church and light it in honor of Saint
Calogero, to whom in a prayer she vowed
she would buy the largest candle ever
made in America, if her husband be per
mitted to recover from a serious illness.
Her p ayer was answered.
The gigantic candle was rolled by hand
and is eighteen inches in diameter at the
base and twelve at the top. Its weight
corresponds exactly with thit of the man
who was cured from his illness.

BAD ON THE NAVY BACHELORS
(Scrlppa News Association)
Brooklyn, June 26 Bachelor naval
officers who are on duty at the Navy
Yard in this city and at some of the
other stat'ons, are seriously affected by
the decision that the government will not
allow any exta commutation to the
servants they employ. It has been the
practise to draw wnat is Known as a
commutted ration allowances, to be paid
to servants employed in messes organized
by the unmarried officers on duty at
naval stations as wall as on board sh
Hereafter officers' messes on shire will
not be permitted to make use of this com'
mutted ration money, which amcunts to
S9 a month per man. The allowance
will be continued in behalf of servants
employed by officers' messes on board
ship. The distinction is the result of a
technical construction of law. There is
no remedy short of changing the phrass
ology of the law, and it is too late in the
session to accomplish this, even if such a
change were possible.
FOR ANY KIND OE A BOY
Here are some rules which appear in a
circular issued by one of the largest es
tablisments in Chicago. They are full of
stimulating suggestives to the young man
who is determined to push along the
highway of life and make sucess his
journey.
Be courteous.
Be an example.
Eliminate errors.
Develop resources.
Master circumstances.
Anticipate requirements.
Regonize no impediments.
Work for the love of the work.
Know both sides of the question.
Act from reason rather than rule.
Be satisfied with nothing short of per
fection. Do some things better than they were
ever done before.
Do the right thing, at the right time,
in the right way.

UNION COUNTY
We do not believe that there is another county in the Inland Empire that can
show fourteen different industries whose total annual revenue produces an average of
$1 93,ooo.oo cash! . , .
The annual report of the State labor Commissioner, places Union Count third
in the state, in the emploment of labor
It requires 194 solid trains of fourtv cars each to carr the produce of our
count to the market, more than a trai n ever other da throughout the ear.
"An admirable climate." The past winter only for a few hours did the mercury
reach zero. No excessive heat in the summer and our cool refreshing nights cannot
be appreciated by the residents of the east until they are permitted to enjoy them.
Our soil is rich and productive. Were we to mention yields they would not be
believed. The only way to become acquainted with this "Garden of Eden" is to
personl visit this land of diversity, as when you see the crops growing and harvested
they speak for themselves.
Our forrests will require many many decades of the present activity before they
begin to yield and we now have thirty or more saw mills which give employment the
year round in the mills and logging camps
The only sugar beet factory in the state is located at La Grande, the County Seat of Union County
with a population of 6,000, progressive wide awake people who extend the glad hand to all This i.
the commercial, educational and social center of the county.
