Scourging Old Homes
An ear of golden colored corn em
blazoned on a field of white, around
which peeked rays of a Southern Cali
fornia sun and a hog couchant, the
state badee of the lowa society of
Southern California, presented a sight
that warmed the hearts of 35,000
lowans, former and present residents,
yesterday when they met in annual re
union at Eastlake park to commem
orate the natal anniversary of Wash-
ington.
In many ways the picnic bore re
semblance to a state fair at Dcs
Moines. In others it gave tlie appear
ance of the political love feasts which
liave obtained prominence at Illinois
state fairs givn at Springfield. Poli
ticians from the "peanut" type up to
the large, brainy, wholesouled man
who is in politics for his country's
pood were everywhere in view. El
bowing them were circulaters of nom
inating petitions. Both were met with
hearty "Howdoyoudos," and equally
cordial handclasps. lowa, justly proud
of its^corn and hog products, is not the
less proud of Its politicians, clean of
scandal, and its pretty women.

SPENT A FORTUNE
ON SKINJROUBLE
But Lost All Hope of Cure—Grew
Worse and Worse in Spite of Many
Doctors and Three Years of Hos
pital Treatment —Inflammation
, Made Her Almost Crazy with Pain.
CURED BY TWO SETS
OF CUTICURA REMEDIES
"I began to have an itching over my
whole body about inveri years ago and
this settled in my limb, from the knee to
the 1 toes. I went to see a great many
physicians, a matter -which cost me a
fortune, and after I noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three year* to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there. I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse, I had an in
flaramation which made me almost crazy
with pain. When I showed my foot to
my friends they would get really fright
ened. I did not know what to do. I
was so sick and had become so nervous
that I positively lost all hope.
" I had seen the advertisement of the
Cuticura Remedies a great many times
but could not make up my mind to buy
them, for I had already used so many
medicines. Finally I did decide to use
: the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you
. that I was never so pleased as when I
■ noticed that, after having used two sets
of Cuticura Soap, Cutieura Ointment
and Cuticura Pills, the entire inflamma-
I tion had gone. I was completely cured.
I should be only too glad if people
with a similar disease would come to
me and find out the truth. " I would only
I recommend them to use Cuticura. Mrs.
Bertha Sachs, 1621 Second Aye., New
York, N. V., Aug. 20, 1909."
- "Mrs. Bertha Sachs is my sister-!n
law and I know well how she suffered
and was cured by the Cuticura Remedies
• after many other treatments failed.

who eulogized lowa, were the ninety
and nine county reunions. Space for
th-3 Individual county reunions was
marked off in the large open play
ground south of the conservatories.
Here the lowans found friends, rela :
tives and acquaintances, exchanged
greetings and messages from the home
state and indulged in reminiscences.
Back of the speakers' stand, built in
a grove of eucalyptus growth, came a
rumble of snare drums, the shrill notes
of the fife, the groaning of the over
burdened swings and the roaring music
of the merry-go-round.
The bitter cold and storms which
have passed across lowa since Novem
ber formed the general topic. Coming
at the heels of this was the often ut
tered "I am mighty glad I'm here and
not back east this winter."
Los Angeles, the home of perpetual
summer, and one of the few places
where picnics and reunions may be
held the year through, is scheduled to
receive advertising of unlimited wealth
from the lowa picnic of yesterday.
Among those who will scatter the
praise of Southern California as a mid
winter picnic ground will be hundreds
of tourist lowans who were there. They
will write or convey in person that
they met there such former lowans as
Judge Curtis D. Wilbur, Major John A.
Donnell, formerly district attorney of
Los Angeles county and one-time
state's attorney of seven counties in
lowa. They will tell of how they met
Calvin Hartwell, coroner of Los An
geles county, Josiah Utterbach of Pas
adena, formerly a banker at Sigour
ney, la.; Will Beatty, who conducted
a photographer's shop in the same city;
Frank D. McDowell, formerly mayor
of Clinton, la., who is a double to the
late President Cleveland; J. F. Clem
ents, a Clinton retired chair manu
facturer; Edward Hopkins, assessor of j
Los Angeles county; Don Orrill, who
is holder of the second place In the
Yuma land allotment line; Mayor
George Alexander of Los Angeles, for
mer State Senator W. W. Dodge, At
torney John Beardsley, Rev. C. A. Stil
son, T. F. Cooke and others as prom
inent. Mingling with these were At
torney John Lafferty of Oskaloosa, E.
Laffer, a Slgourney banker; Simon
Shoecraft, a Clinton fuel dealer; B. D.
Howes, n jeweler from Clinton; lowa
State Senator D. O. Harrison of Hum
boldt.
The picnic was a half-day affair and
was organized into a reunion after the
lunch. Stephen Townsend, the retir
ing president, was chairman. He in
troduced in succession Dr. R. S. Wal
ker, Rev. Matt Hughes, former Con
gressman Daniel Kerr, S. W. Dodge,
D. O. Harrison, Dr. Lev! D. Johnson
and Mayor Alexander as the speakers.
"Home, Sweet Home," sang by W. L.
Jones of Pasadena, carried memories
and hearts back to lowa.
Former Senator Dodge, who came
from Burlington, la., said: "The call
of civic duty and state pride demand
of each of us, as former lowans, to
give our loyal support to every meas
ure, plan and means that has for its
ultimate end the moral, intellectual
and material advancement of this great
commonwealth of California."
Former Congressman Daniel Krrr
spoke in rememberanee of the late Hon.
Delos Arnold, honorary president of the
society. Dr. L. D. Johnson spoke In
a similar vein of the late Dr. C. J.
Cooke. Mayor Alexander gave utter
ance to the declaration that "lowans

BURGLAR RECOGNIZED
AS AN OLD OFFENDER
The idently of the alleged burglar,
who has been confined in the city Jail
since February 11, under the name of
John P. Burton, was established last
night by Captain of Detectives Paul
E. Flammer.
Captain Flammer had Just received
a copy of the Chicago police bulletin
issued February 17, in which was a
description of a man wanted for high
way robbery, also a photograph.
Burton was recognized as the man
wanted In Chicago and a comparison
of the picture In the Chicago bulletin
anrl his Bertillon measurements was
sufficient to break down the stoical
attitude of Burton, and, according to
the police, he admitted having been
an old offender.
WANTS MORE TELLER'S CAGES
A3 a protection for the large sums
of money that are paid into his office,
City Tax and License Collector O. M.
Tuggart has asked the board of public
works to install three tellers' cages.
The board considers Mr. Taggart's re
quest a reasonable one and will ask
the council today to appropriate $175
to pay the cost of the work. Mr Tag
gart wants the cages at once, and the
board recommends that it be permitted
to buy the material under the emer
ia-!i v provision of the charter and
do the work by day labor under the
supervision of the building inspector.

THREE THOUSAND VISITORS
JOIN IN PROGRAM
Washington Remembered by Parade,
Speeches, Luncheon and Ath.
letic Sports Among Youthful
Citizens
South Pasadena celebrated Wash
ington's birthday yesterday with a
flag day festival in which 3000 persons
participated. The entire day was de
voted to the event. Under the direc
tion of John D. Reavis, chairman of
the flag day committee, a program
was "sprung" on the citizens of South
Pasadena and their visitors that was
so successful that it was determined
by the South Pasadena chamber of
commerce which was in charge of the
fete to repeat the exercise annually..
The city was dressed in thousands
of flags and banners. Every house and
place of business bore the red, white
and blue in sortie form. Many of them
were almost hidden by the colors.
Pictures of the presidents were hung
above the streets in all sections of tfcs
city.
At 10:30 o'clock a parade, covering
a route of six miles and passing all
the public buildings, including the
school houses, moved from its start
ing place at the city jail. The pro
cession was a mile and a quarter long.
In it were 150 gayly decorated auto
mobiles. It was headed by Home's
military band and a fife and drum
corps of eleven veterans from the sol
diers' home. The leading automobile
of the parade was occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. John D. Reavis, C. B. Boothe and
E. H. Rust, president of the South
Pasadena chamber of commerce.
Addresses at School
After the conclusion of the parade
the crowd gathered at the yard of the
El Centro school house, where a
speakers' stand and seats for several
thousand people had been erected. Ad
dresses by prominent citizens of
Southern California upon patriotism
lent quite a Fourth of July atmos
phere to the occasion.
Dr. John Willis Baer, president of
Occidental college, declared tha,t since
the time *of Georse Washingtdti the
people of the United States hare
grown in patriotism. He defined true
patriotism as simple and sincere living
and made an eloquent plea that the
growth of patriotism be fostered.

"There are more ways than one to remove the billboard nuisance
from Los Angeles. Without waiting for the power of legislation,
