The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints put on a successful day of community service called "Just Serve" on Saturday, April 25. Around 75 members of the Red Bluff community participated, putting in a total of 250 hours of ser- vice. The project was held at the Red Bluff Oak Hill Cemetery. The tasks accomplished included leveling out low spots, weed eating, prun- ing branches and bushes, raking leaves, repairing headstones, and other ba- sic cleanup. Organizers would like to thank Grocery Outlet and Walmart for their dona- tions in providing snacks, drinks and trash bags for this service project. They would also like to thank all those who took the time out of their day to help make this community day of service a successful one, especially those who donated the use of their own tools and equipment and to those who helped put it all together. Other "Just Serve" proj- ects were held in the Corn- ing, Anderson, Palo Cedro and Redding areas. LDS Churchmembersofferdayof service at Oak Hill Cemetery By Cathy Wilson This year, we have had a mild spring here in the valley coupled with several rains—these two combina- tions are essential for suc- cessful propagation. Love your existing flowers and shrubs? You can double or even tri- ple the amount by divid- ing them and replant- ing the divisions. This can be done easily in ei- ther spring or fall. Flow- ers that are easy grow in clumps. Dig up the entire plant and using scissors, saws or even an ax simply divide into sections mak- ing sure that they each have a healthy portion of roots. Replant and water in. Check on them daily to see that they have enough moisture until they are established. Envy a neighbors or friends plant? With their permission, of course, you can repeat the above process or just take a cutting. To do a cut- ting use a clean, sharp pair of scissors or prun- ing shears to reduce in- jury to the parent plant. Remove flowers or buds from stem cuttings so the energy will be directed into forming a root sys- tem. Then remove sev- eral of the lowest leaves where they attach to the stem, dip into a rooting medium being sure to shake off the excess. Be- fore inserting the stem into pre-moistened soil in a pot, insert a pencil first creating a hole so that the hormone powder will not rub off the stem dur- ing insertion. Pat the soil carefully around each cutting. Place in an area of indirect light until new growth appears. Plants that are easily divided include ajuga, as- ters, columbine, chrysan- themum, daylilies, coral bells, sedum, cone flow- ers, cannas, irises and many, many more. If you want it even easier, come to the Red Bluff Garden Club's an- nual plant sale on 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. May 15 and 16 at the Union Hall, 12889 Baker Road.

Drum and Ava Zepeda repair headstones during a community service day April 25at Oak Hill Cemetery in Red Bluff. 'Just Serve' projects also occur in Corning, Anderson, Palo Cedro, Redding The last scenes in the comedy-drama of "A. H. Stewart, blind pig detec- tive," were enacted yes- terday morning in the su- perior court room of this county where Stewart was sentenced to serve 18 months in the state prison at Folsom, and at the train when he made his depar- ture under escort. Through the trial and even after his conviction, Stewart gave no sign that he regretted the actions that have placed him in the custody of the law, un- til just before he was take into the court room to re- ceive sentence yesterday morning. At that time he was visited by Mrs. Dyer, who had befriended him before and throughout his trouble and trial, and while talking to her his self-con- trol gave away and when he was brought into the court room he showed his first sign of repentance. The only request he made was that he be sen- tenced to San Quentin, but owing to the crowded con- dition of that institution he was sent to Folsom. Imme- diately after his sentence was pronounced he was handcuffed to Cody who had just before received a like sentence at the same institution, and the two were taken to the train. Rev. Keyser spoke briefly to Stewart advising him to make every effort to better himself while at Folsom, saying he would be given every encouragement by the prison officials. — May 7, 1915 100 YEARS AGO...
