N. G. OF CALIFORNIA WILL BE BENEFICIARIES ADJT.-GEN. LAUCK WINS $20,000 FOR STATE IN BACK BILLS Fish Licenses Amount to $20,000 Annually—To Train Children Against Dangers of Electricity—Teachers to Study New Library Methods Sacramento, April 18.—Financial and other gain will accrue to the California National Guard establishment as the result of the visit of Adjutant General J. B. Lauck to Washington, D. C. During this trip General Lauck held a conference with the secretary of war and as a result the federal government will supply all the coal needed on the cruises of the Marblehead, the naval militia training ship. This amounts to about $8000 a year and will thus be saved to the state. In addition the government will install on the training ship a wireless station to cost about $3,000. Other expenses relative to the operation of the training ship will be borne by the government, so that a corresponding portion of the state appropriation may be expended in other needed directions. As another result of his conference, the government will pay the state $20,000 in back bills, which had been withheld for technical reasons. With the aid of General Oliver, assistant secretary of state, and General Drain, chairman of the executive committee of the adjutant general's live wire," says Mr. Wood. "Children are fond of gathering wire and will often pick it up from the roadside. They may not see that this seeming piece of wire is attached to the pole which carries the electric current. Parents can not be too careful to train the little ones against picking up wire and taking hold of it when they see it hanging from a tree or pole. We are doing our utmost to teach the children against dangers from contagious diseases and the cigarette, all of which is right. Why not include the dangers from the electric current. "Very often a neighborhood has in it one who can give the children a valuable lesson. The constant grind of books and examinations and credits will be forgotten for a time and the children will be broader and more ready to take hold of the advanced work. In many of the high schools are teachers of science who would be very glad to go to the elementary-school and tell the young folks of the wonders of electricity. If these lessons do no more than to save the lives of one or two children, the teacher has more than earned his salary and paid the state for the expenditure that it made to educate him. That teachers should have an opportunity to study library methods is advocated by State Librarian James L. Gillis. He holds that as library work has become a science and that as the schools of the state are paying more and more attention to their libraries, the teachers should be acquainted with the up-to-date library methods. Mr. Gillis met much favorable response from the assembled presidents of the normal schools of this state at the meeting of the Joint board of Normal school trustees.

As another result of his conference, the government will pay the state $20,000 in back bills, which had been withheld for technical reasons. With the aid of General Oliver, assistant secretary of state, and General Drain, chairman of the executive committee of the adjutant general's association, General Lauck secured an amendment to the Dick bill, making appropriations for national guards, cutting out the restriction that federal money can be used only for annual encampment. The joint maneuvers held annually in California are more important than the encampment hence it was desired to have the federal fund for the maneuvers. The bill now provides for this. The collection of the transcripts and briefs filed in the state supreme and appellate courts and turned over to the law department of the state library is rapidly becoming an important part of the work of that institution as the collection is a very large and growing one. These records are received by the library as soon as they are filed in the office of the supreme court clerk and are arranged by the number of the case until the decision has been rendered. The records of the cases decided during such quarter are then bound in thick volumes which now number about 4000. Each case is indexed by title and may be turned to at a moment's notice. Naturally such a mass of material fills a great deal of space but the great value to the legal profession is demonstrated every day. The lawyer who finds in this collection a case similar to one which he may have in court is able to take advantage of the work done by other members of his profession. If the decision of the earlier case be against him he is forewarned and on the alert; if it be in his favor he has precedent on his side. These records are borrowed and used from one end of the state to the other. Due to the law enacted by the last legislature the state fish hatcheries will receive about $15,000 more this year than last from the commercial fish licenses issued by the California fish and game commission. According to figures compiled by State Controller Nye $21,982.50 was derived from fish licenses during the fiscal year ending March 31 as compulsory. That teachers should have an opportunity to study library methods is advocated by State Librarian James L. Gillis. He holds that as library work has become a science and that as the schools of the state are paying more and more attention to their libraries, the teachers should be acquainted with the up-to-date library methods. Mr. Gillis met much favorable response from the assembled presidents of the normal schools of this state at the meeting of the Joint board of Normal school trustees. The normal school presidents promised to take up the matter of offering suitable courses in library science when their courses of study are next revised. As a result of investigation regarding the practice in the normal schools and colleges elsewhere in the United States Mr. Gillis has found that in thirty normal schools and six colleges training in library science is compulsory. The annual convention of county and city school superintendents of California has been called by State Supt. Hyatt to meet at Riverside during the week beginning April 25.Railroad rates of one and one third the regular fare have been secured. There are 58 county superintendents and about 30 city superintendents who may attend. The attendance is not limited to the superintendents as everyone who is interested in education is invited to attend the session. The plan of the convention will be carefully scheduled series of educational and administrative discussions running through the week. President Wheeler of Berkeley, President Jordan of Stanford and President Blaisdell of Pomona will be on the program. Other professors from Stanford and Berkeley will be on hand. In the presentation and discussion of subjects, largely in the hands of the superintendents themselves, it will be thoroughly a superintendent's meeting. NOT ACCEPTED The offer made by James Irvine, James McFadden, A. J. Crookshank and R. T. Harris as a course of settlement of the problems of internal dissension of the Southern California Sugar company was not accepted by their opponents. Five days were given to answer, and no reply was received. These four men are a minority on the board of directors. The majority has not succeeded in getting drainage for the factory, without which it cannot run. Stockholders appointed a committee, H. D. Thomas, commission which conditions and will be off high school studies. 11: Deputation lace, Long Beach 11: Business Saturday after service. 2: Bible Holt Tucker. 3: County Reports from Vernardino counties 3: 30: The Jo Wilkie. 4: 30: County 7: 30: Song selections 7: 45: Recruits 8: 15: The y association and mands, Rev.

Adm no extra charge e Due to the law enacted by the last legislature the state fish hatcheries will receive about $15,000 more this year than last from the commercial fish licenses issued by the California fish and game commission. According to figures compiled by State Controller Nye $21,982.50 was derived from fish licenses during the fiscal year ending March 31 as compared with $7022.50 for the year previous. This amount is made up by 1755 alien-fishermen, paying $10 a year to fish in California waters and 1733 citizens at the rate of $2.50 each, making $17,550 for the foreigners and $4432.50 for the citizens. Under the old law there was no discrimination as to the citizens and foreigners, the tax being $2.50 per average boatload of fishermen. Under the new law the state receives $50 for a boatload of five fishermen of foreign nationality. The last installment of license money received was $1928. This money goes to the hatcheries exclusively. "Why not begin at home to train the little ones against dangers from the electric current?" asks Job Wood Jr., statistician in the office of the state superintendent of schools. This question he asks in an article prepared for the official journal entitled "Knowlegde is Safety—Protect the Children." Mr. Wood points out that with the increase in electric roads, electric lighting, electric pumping, telephones and electric machinery of all kinds, there is an attendant increase of danger. He would have the children taught the meaning of wires and third rails and other opportunities for coming in contact with the overcharged current. "The young child who can reach out his hand may come in contact with a James McFadden, A. J. Crookshank and R. T.

Five days were given to answer, and no reply was received. These four men are a minority on the board of directors. The majority has not succeeded in getting drainage for the factory, without which it cannot run. Stockholders appointed a committee, H. D. Thomas, S. H. Finley, J. A. Turner and C. A. Riggs, to obtain a right of way for a pipe line to the ocean. As yet it has been unsuccessful. The minority is backing a suit in court brought by Frank Monaghan to compel the company to rescind its acceptance of the sugar factory and to compel the Case, Hinze company, the builders, to bring the plant to a capacity of 600 tons per day. Five days ago the minority offered to give a right of way for a pipe line if the Case, Hinze company would put up its stock as surety that a season's run would demonstrate that the plant is up to capacity, and should it prove not to be a 600-ton plant, it was to be made of that capacity. SHE WAS ARTISTIC Was she artistic? asked an inquiry person of Kin Hubbard, the Indianapolis epigram maker, who was describing an Indiana genius. Artistic? said Hubbard. Was she artistic? I should say she was. She was so artistic that one day, when one of her peekaboo shirt waists she had made herself fell into the panola, they played two Beethoven rhapsodies with it before they discovered their mistake. Pa—But, young man, do you think you can make my little girl happy? Suitor—Do I? Say, I wish you could a seen her when I proposed.

The enumerators are entitled to ask, and the man or woman questioned is ordered to answer, almost every question with the exception of what is the color of your hair. The census-taker will ask for your name in full, sex, color or race, age at last birthday; if married, is this your first marriage, the number of years you have been married to your present husband or wife, the number of children you have, how many of them were living April 15, 1910, where were you born, where was your father born, where was your mother born, are you a foreigner, was your father or mother a foreigner, if of foreign birth when did you immigrate to the United States, have you been naturalized, can you speak English, what do you do for a living, were you out of work on April 15, 1910, if you cannot speak English what is your native language, are you able to read and write either English or some other language, were you in the Union or Confederate army or navy during the civil war. Are you blind or deaf and dumb? To many these questions may seem as delving into matters pertaining to no one but the interested party. But there should be no objection to answering them because the answers will never become public. They are to be used for statistical purposes. SOON FISH FOR TROUT Walter Robinson Says the County Streams Are Stocked With Fish Walter Robinson was in town from Trabuco on Friday and reports excellent fishing will be provided in the stocked streams of the county beginning with the opening of the season May 1st. While here Mr. Robinson, who occupies the responsible position of deputy fish and game commissioner of Orange county, notified the water company to place screens at all its intakes at the river, to prevent fish from getting into the canals. This he is doing with all the water companies in the county. Streams in which trout will be taken this year are the Santiago and its tributaries, the Trabuco and San Juan creek. He states all fishers will be required to comply with the law, and that no fishing will be permitted before the first of the month. When it comes to harness, look at ours. All handmade and the best of oak-tanned leather goes into its construction. Wm. F. Lutz Co., Santa Ana. READ THIS!

EXTERMINATING MOSQUITOES Berkeley Professor Employs Effective Means of Destroying Them Prof. William B. Herms of the University of California scatters research traditions to the winds when he widens the walls of his laboratory to include mosquito marshes of California, and extends scientific instruction to real estate boosters, newspaper men, the schools, in fact, to every one in any town that requests his services. Professor Herms says that no one knows until he is shown. University students cannot be made to understand entomology by lectures alone. It is only when they go to work at actual experimentation that they get any grasp of the subject. This is the reason, the scientist asserts, that people nod their heads vacantly when he tells them about the breeding habits of mosquitoes. But when an auto-load of notables go with him to the marshes and see with their own eyes the tiny egg-boats floating on water-filled cow tracks,the larvae of mosquitoes in the wriggling stage,the pupae merging into the full-fanged buzzing pests their nods become vigorous and decisive. When they see the wrigglers of malaria mosquitoes which lie with THE FARMER IS KING Real Creator of Wealth and the Rest of Us Are Not In It Figures just compiled by the government show even more clearly that the American farmer is the arbiter of prosperity. In the last twenty years farms products have increased $6,300,000 per annum. The figures just given by Secretary Wilson show that in 1889 the farms of the United States produced $2,460,000,000. Ten years later the annual product was $4,717,000,000. Last year's total, just completed, reached the astounding sum of $8,760,000,000. Thus the farms raise annually almost 75 per cent of the total stock and bond issues of all the railroads of America. All the efforts of men in all ages down to the present day in mining and saving gold have resulted in the accumulation of less than $14,000,000,000 gold in the entire world to act as the basis of the world's commerce, yet the American farmers produce more than half the value of that store of wealth every year. The annual gold production of the world is $500,000,000. The product of the American farms is 17 1-2 times that amount. Walter Johnson pitched for Washington against Philadelphia at the opening of the league season at the national capital on Thursday, and shut out his opponents with a single hit. The Senators amassed 13 hits, but scored only 2 runs. President Taft and Vice President Sherman witnessed the game. The president pitched the first ball, and was given a season's pass to the games. But when an auto-load of notables go with him to the marshes and see with their own eyes the tiny egg-boats floating on water-filled cow-tracks,the larvae of mosquitoes in the wriggling stage, the pupae merging into the full-fanged buzzing pests their nods become vigorous and decisive. When they see the wrigglers of malaria mosquitoes which lie with their backs parallel to the water's surface when they breath, and the culex offspring which lie at the surface with bodies hanging low in the water all hands realize that there is a difference in mosquitoes. By the time it has been pointed out that the fresh water mosquitoes never travel far, and that the draining or oiling of the puddles in a neighborhood will end the mosquitoes and consequently the malaria of that neighborhood, the men of affairs become fired with a desire to scorch back to town and promote a work of extermination. As a result of the unique methods of this practical professor Penryn and Loomis joined hands several weeks ago and have since carried on an extensive slaughter of mosquito wriglers. At Oroville the men, women, and children are fighting mosquitoes tooth and nail. The Oroville gold-dredging corporations are in on the deal, draining and oiling puddles in their own districts and adding a fourfigure lump to the shake-purse contribution. A campaign at Roseville is getting under way. All signs indicate that the malaria mosquitoes of these regions are humming their swan song. The Orange News prints the headline: "Santa Ana man run down." Too busy to read it and learn what medicine he has "taken to get well."
