RIVER OVERFLOW TABLED Owing to Opposition in Various Districts Matter is Dropped The projected forming of a river protection district has been abandoned for the present, owing to lack of co-operation in the work on the part of residents of various sections. The special committee having the matter in charge has filed the following report: "Your committee appointed to ascertain the attitude of the people toward the forming of a river protection district, have canvassed the territory endangered by overflow waters from the Santa Ana. "The people living in the Buena Park district were entirely opposed to such action, stating that they were not afraid of the overflow waters and claiming that the people living near the river ought to protect its bank. "The Westminster Improvement association claimed that the Westminster country would be in no way harmed by any overflow waters and therefore was not in favor of being included in any river protection district. "The people living north of the sandwash between Anaheim and Fullerton claimed to be high and dry and so were not interested in any such action; therefore Fullerton and vicinity did not care to have any part in caring for the truant river. "In spite of the fact that these several places consider themselves free from any possible danger, a good and efficient engineer has reported them all to be subject to flood water. The action of these places leaves Anaheim and Garden Grove to care for this great problem which is county-wide in its effects and these two sections are scarcely able to shoulder the burden. "Wherefore, in view of the above..." In spite of the fact that these several places consider themselves free from any possible danger, a good and efficient engineer has reported them all to be subject to flood water. The action of these places leaves Anaheim and Garden Grove to care for this great problem which is county-wide in its effects and these two sections are scarcely able to shoulder the burden. "Wherefore, in view of the above facts, be it resolved, that the formation of a river protection district be laid on the table until all those subject to overflow waters are ready and willing to put their shoulders to the wheel and carry this proposed project to a successful issue." And further be it resolved, that this committee stand adjourned until we view the flood waters with our own eyes two feet deep in our front yards and the chickens swimming in our backyards. Respectfully submitted, The COMMITTEE JAP WINS AGAIN Gets Decision Over Billy Hole in La Habra Land Case M. Takekawa had no difficulty in putting it over Billy Hole in the superior court last week in a La Habra land case. Judge West decided in favor of the Jap, and Hole lost out for the second time in his legal bout with the wily oriental. The victory was the third straight scored by the Jap in the Orange county superior court the past nine months: The Jap first sued Hole to enforce a contract for the sale of La Habra valley lands from Hole to Takekawa, and judges was in favor of the Japanese, then cashier of the Japanese American bank of Los Angeles. Following this judgment Takekawa was arrested on a charge of perjury, alleged to have been committed in the course of the trial of the civil action. He was held to answer for trial but was given his freedom on habeas corpus proceedings, the defense alleging that there was no perjury since the false statement alleged was not in regard to any vital point at issue in the case. In the meantime there was pending in the superior court of this county an action in which W. J. Hole was plaintiff and M. Takekawa defendant. This was a suit to force the Jap to deliver 100 acres of land in La Habra concerned in an option and contract set up in the complaint. The trial of this case was concluded in the superior court last week, ed.

DELICIOUS DESSERTS Desirable Ways of Preparing and Serving Strawberries With the strawberry back and the procession of summer fruits begun, the question of dessert is mitigated, if not definitely solved beyond perplexity in most households. The strawberry season is at best short, and lovers of the berry rebel against any waste of time in its use while it lasts. But, one can not eat even strawberries and cream three times a day, nor the plain fruit as often. For breakfast, the years bring nothing more delicious in the way of serving this king of berries than the time-honored one of rimming a mound of sugar on the individual plate with the unhulled berries. Large berries are best for this, of course, if they do not cost prohibitive prices, and they may be washed and drained in a colander so that little of their original freshness is lost. Many persons like the breakfast cereal crowned with strawberries and then drenched with rich cream, taking the first two breakfast courses at one time. For a simple dessert to help out a short allowance of berries, a plain lemon jelly may be made, inserting halved or quartered strawberries just as the jelly begins to harden. If the jelly is allowed to set in a ring mold, the center may be heaped with whipped cream. A delicious Bavarian cream is made with plain lemon jelly mixed with crushed strawberries and whipped cream. A reliable rule for strawberry Bavarian cream calls for two cupfuls of the mashed fruit, half a carriage out by the door also, and evidence of effort has proven effective than the "forts of other candidates coming in great amalgamation." The Stanton parish campaign tour of La Valle on Friday night through canvass of St. Francis motor vehicle station will proceed next Oregon line has been turned back to this route. After a stop this city upon their Southern California ceased by automobile along the coast row of the larger cities smaller towns and way. No meetings are Stanton campaign California, it having that the method of visits to the lead action in each coor better effect than public meetings that for the most parters, and ladies. After the Stanton Southern California meetings will finish touching the paign will be applied continuing until time. Mr. Stanton say than ever confident cure the nomination party for governor of every community are with him persons of the state support with fine ognized by them strongest candidate who can sur- In the meantime there was pending in the superior court of this county an action in which W. J. Hole was plaintiff and M. Takekawa defendant. This was a suit to force the Jap to deliver 100 acres of land in La Habra concerned in an option and contract set up in the complaint. The trial of this case was concluded in the superior court last week, and Judge West entered judgment in favor of T.akekawa. This was Takekawa's third victory. The judgment was that the contract and option was defective. The figures in the contract had been changed since the signing of the document. Hole alleged this was done by agreement. The defense asserted that the contract was indefinite in description, and under the law could not be enforced. The judge so held. In the meantime, Takekawa has been having troubles in Los Angeles, where he was arrested for receiving deposits at his bank after he knew it was insolvent, and where he was arrested on a perjury charge. TRUST DEED A trust deed to cover $150,000 was placed on record in this county the first of the week. The deed is from John Scott to the Los Angeles trust and savings bank, with W. J. Hole, the well-known La Habra valley land operator, as the third party. This trust deed follows the sale of Hole's 160 acre ranch to Scott, an East Whittier rancher. The $150,000 is payable in installments up to August 1, 1920. A deed to the property from Hole to Scott was recorded some days ago. A delicious Bavarian cream is made with plain lemon jelly mixed with crushed strawberries and whipped cream. A reliable rule for strawberry Bavarian cream calls for two cupfuls of the mashed fruit, half a boxx of gelatine soaked in a gill of cold water and then melted over hot water, half a cupful of powdered sugar and a pint of rich cream. Mix the fruit juice with the sugar, and when the sugar is melted add the gelatine and let the bowl containing the mixture stand in a pan of ice. As soon as it begins to thicken fold in the cream whipped stiff and dry. Turn into a mold and when serving garnish the form with whole berries and their leaves if they can be obtained. A delicious introduction to the luncheon may consist of strawberries and grapefruit. Cut the grape fruit in half and remove the pulp and tough fiber. Then mix the grape fruit pulp and the berries mashed and sweetened and fill the shells. Put two or three whole berries on the top and chill before serving. For a strawberry charlotte, mash a pint of the strawberries and sweeten them to taste. Fold in the stiffly-beaten whites of the eggs and fill the center of a dish that has been lined with sponge cake. Garnish with whole berries. A delicious salad is made of tender white lettuce leaves formed into individual nests and filled with large strawberries sprinkled with sugar and dressed with mayonnaise. STANTON IN THE NORTH Winning Friends Among Voters Wherever He Goes The following private letter from San Francisco gives local supporters of Mr. Stanton assurances that he is being well received in the north: Hon. Phil A. Stanton's automobile tour of the state from south to north and back again, had progressed this far on its northward way when the candidate and his friends alighted from the big 60 horse power touring car at the entrance to the lobby of the Palace hotel. Many friends of the Southern California candidate clustered around him upon his arrival in San Francisco and made it apparent that his coming had been eagerly awaited. The men who have had charge of the Stanton campaign in San Francisco and Alameda counties gave Mr. Stanton and his Southern California friends who accompanied him positive assurances that the work that has been going on in his behalf in the north, though of a quiet nature, has been very effective. The plan which has been adopted by the Southern California managers of conducting an unique campaign, without noise or ostentation, through personal application and personal effort, has been carried out by the northern managers also, and evidences that this kind of effort has proved much more effective than the "hurrah boys" efforts of other candidates were forthcoming in great amplitude. The Stanton party completed the campaign tour of the San Joaquin valley on Friday night, after a thorough canvass of Stockton itself, and on Saturday motored over to San Francisco, touching at Lathrop, Tracy and Livermore, en route. At Oakland they were met by a party OBJECT TO HOSPITAL Residents of Buaro File Remonstrance With Supervisors Ninety residents of Buaro entered remonstrance with the supervisors on Friday to establishing a county hospital and poor farm at that locality. The board recently decided to purchase the Dr. Head place at $400 per acre for this purpose. John Davis and others declared that the presence of the county institutions would deteriorate prices of real estate. Members of the board replied that the county expects to greatly improve the forty-two acres it will buy, and that land will go up in price in the vicinity instead of down. The remonstrance was filed. The petition of farmers owning 3000 acres to form a drainage district at Old Newport was granted by the supervisors. Voters of the district are to hold an election of directors on June 28. The district will vote bonds to build drainage canals. ENEMIES OF PLANTS Just about this season our flower-loving friends will need to be very watchful and give their plants closest attention, for when they begin pushing new shoots and are the most promising looking is the very time that many insect pests are prone to put in an appearance and feed upon the young growth. One can understand the disappointment it is to the lovers of a pretty window to discover that some insect has taken complete possession of the most beautiful of the plants, even before the owner was aware that there was anything of the kind about. Whenever you notice that your plants have stopped growing, that they have taken on a sort of stunted appearance, especially when but a short time back they were bright THE BEAUTY CULT Extraordinary Rapidity with Which It Has Developed Never an art developed with the extraordinary rapidity accorded to the beauty mania which nowadays affects all classes of womankind, and which is making such an irresistible appeal to young and to old alike. Yesterday few, if any, had ever heard the name of beauty doctor; today, beauty experts, both amateur and professional, are to be met with who carry on a flourishing and lucrative trade as well as established branches in every big town and fashionable health resort. For the cultivation of beauty is the craze of the modern woman, and the beauty doctor is the product of this craze. Women all the world over are alike, in as much as they are anxious to learn all that there is to be taught concerning the cultivation of that "ivory mischief," of which the philosophers of old sung praises loud and long; Aristotle declaring that "personal beauty was a better introduction than any letter," and calling it "the gift of God;" while Socrates deemed it "a short-lived tyranny." Theophrasus denounced it as "a silent deceit," while Carneades lauded it as "a sovereignty that stood in need of no guards." Whichever definition comes nearest to truth matters little. Certain it is that women of all ages were as anxious to resign themselves to this short-lived tyranny as those of the present time; the only difference being that beauty of this day is not so short-lived as in the days of yore. THE BLARSTED SPARROW Supervisors Want Him to Fly Up the Bloody Spout The board of supervisors has received the following letter from the The Stanton party completed the campaign tour of the San Joaquin valley on Friday night, after a thorough canvass of Stockton itself, and on Saturday motored over to San Francisco, touching at Lathrop, Tracy and Livermore, en route. At Oakland they were met by a party of Stanton boosters, headed by Assemblyman James T. Feely, and two hours were spent in going over the situation. Assemblyman Feely, who is managing the Stanton campaign in Alameda county, made the unequivocal statement that Stanton will receive the largest vote of any of the candidates for the republican nomination for governor cast in Alameda county, the banner republican county of the state at the present time. The Stanton party will remain in San Francisco, where headquarters in the Palace hotel have been opened, for a week, visiting all of the cities and towns outside of Oakland and San Francisco, in the time, and will then proceed northward until the Oregon line has been reached, and turn back to this city by the coast route. After a stop of a few days in this city upon their return here, the Southern Californians will then proceed by automobile to Los Angeles along the coast route, touching at all of the larger cities and most of the smaller towns and cities along the way. No meetings are to be held by the Stanton campaigners in Northern California, it having been discovered that the method of making personal visits to the leaders of thought and action in each community secures a better effect than that of holding public meetings that are attended for the most part by curiosity seekers, and ladies. After the Stanton party returns to Southern California a series of public meetings will be planned and the finishing touches to the Stanton campaign will be applied at that time, continuing until the 16th of August. Mr. Stanton says that he is more than ever confident that he will secure the nomination of the republican party for governor. The leading men of every community where he has visited are with him, and the newspapers of the state are rallying to his support with fine loyalty. It is recognized by them that he is the strongest candidate for the nomination who can surely win the election. One can understand the disappointment it is to the lovers of a pretty window to discover that some insect has taken complete possession of the most beautiful of the plants, even before the owner was aware that there was anything of the kind about. Whenever you notice that your plants have stopped growing, that they have taken on a sort of stunted appearance, especially when but a short time back they were bright and vigorous looking depend upon it that an injurious insect is at work which must be combated at once to prevent its further development. Plants that are kept perfectly clean and not too warm or too dry and with plenty of fresh air and sunlight are not apt to be troubled with insects. But these conditions in the house are not always easily obtained. Some may have their plants in a nice south window upstairs, where there is plenty of sunlight and not too much dry heat, and where they can have plenty of fresh air on all fine days. Others again have not a convenient place of this kind. Their plants are in a window, where it becomes very warm; at times a very hot,dry heat, just the contrary to what the plants should have, and in this kind of a situation there will be much trouble with the many insect enemies. Constant diligence is necessary to eradicate them when they first appear. Some plants are much more subject to insects than others, and they are apt to attack these first. As soon as you find a plant is infected with insects remove it from the rest and try to clean it. Just as soon as it is free from insects it will start to grow again. Soft-wooded plants of quick growth are more subject to insect attacks than hardwooded varieties. The hard-wooded ones like palms and rubber-plants can generally be kept clean by frequent washings. Plants that make a soft growth are difficult to wash and clean, as anything like washing will bruise and destroy the foliage. These plants are generally attacked by the mealy bugs, coleus, lantanas and heliotrope are especially easy prey. The bugs appear under the leaves and often in bunches in the end of the shoots. They are very destructive and multiply with wonderful rapidity. They are white, mealy looking and soft, very tiny in size. If you discover them when they first appear they can easily be brushed off with a small, soft brush. But if plants are badly infested you should anxious to resign themselves to this short-lived tyranny as those of the present time; the only difference being that beauty of this day is not so short-lived as in the days of yore. THE BLARSTED SPARROW Supervisors Want Him to Fly Up the Bloody Spout The board of supervisors has received the following letter from the county clerk of Los Angeles: "Gentlemen.—For the past three years the board of supervisors of the county of Los Angeles has been making a fight for the extermination of the English sparrow in this county. The board has already expended $500 in this work and expects to continue on the same line this year. "The members of the board realize that the fight against these pests will be ineffectual, unless the other counties of Southern California will cooperate in the work. "At the last meeting of the board an order was made directing me to bring this matter to the attention of the boards of supervisors of all the counties of the state south of the Tehachapi, with the hope that measures will be taken which will result in the extermination of these birds in Southern California. "It is unnecessary to call your attention to the damage caused by these pests wherever they are allowed to multiply, and we earnestly hope that you will begin the fight immediately and keep it up until this section is entirely free from these birds." TREES AND CHARACTER In the history of the great uprising which caused the Roman emperor to cry "Varus, give me back my lelions." Arminius and the Teutoberger Forest are inseparably associated. The interesting suggestion is offered by a thoughtful correspondent that there has been more than accidental reason for the association, that in some occult way the Teutoberger Forest was a part of Arminius. Is it true that in some way not understood and yet not wholly unappreciated we owe something of the progress of the world to the forest primeval? Is it true that so long as men have lived with trees and wood working has been their principal occupation, their civilization has been aggressive and dominant, and the moment the hills were denuded and the dryads and the naialds were banished, LITTEN BRINGS SUIT Because Andrew Koch refused to be a partner of A. A. Litten after he had agreed to do so, Litten is suing Koch for 854.85$ Sheriff Lacy has attached lands near Yorba belonging to Koch. The complaint states that the two men agreed to enter into partnership in the blacksmithing business, that the sum of $1109.69 was spent in getting the partnership business into shape. Of that amount spent, Litten sues Koch for half, his share, it being agreed that each man should stand for half the expense and should receive half the profits. Further Litten asks $300 damages because Koch refused to go into business. The New Big 4 McCormick mower is furnished with either a 6 or 7 foot cutter bar. The frame on this machine is one piece and heavier and the wheels are further apart than those on other machines. Wm. F. Lutz Co., Santa Ana. OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS The winery of T. J. F. Boege will hereafter remain open Saturday evenings until 10 o'clock. The winery will be open until 6 o'clock on other evenings. A fine assortment of wines and other liquors constantly on hand. Union Brewing Company is selling bottled beer at 90 cents per dozen. Reason for the association: some occult way the Teutoberger Forest was a part of Arminius. Is it true that in some way not understood and yet not wholly unappreciated we owe something of the progress of the world to the forest primeval? Is it true that so long as men have lived with trees and wood working has been their principal occupation, their civilization has been aggressive and dominant, and the moment the hills were denuded and the dryads and the nalads were banished, sterility of mind and character as well as of soil was followed? Every writer on the American Indian notes the difference between the timber and the plains tribes. The former were the Indians of history. The plainsman has been mean, sneaking, cowardly, as compared with his brother of the woods, and inferior in both body and mind. It is remarkable when we come to think of it that Germany maintains a population two-thirds as great as that of the United States on a territory smaller than the state of Texas. At first glance everybody assumes that the vast forest preserves are in the way, an imposition on the crowded millions. But the German loves his trees, and perhaps is guided by an unerring instinct when he insists that for every tree cut another shall be planted. If this association of trees with man's outlook is not wholly fanciful there is a reason for conservation infinitely more compelling than the disposition of rainfall. Sterility of soil has never been half so much to be dreaded as sterility of mind. Union Brewing Company is selling bottled beer at 90 cents per dozen.

Having sold the land which we intended to use for this purpose, we wish to sell these trees. We doubt there is a nice lot of trees in any nursery for sale. They are uniform, straight and perfectly clean trees, guaranteed to stand up, straight nursery run, positively the first selection. They are the very handsomest lot of trees, in fact the finest we were able to secure at any price, and we canvassed the situation thoroughly before purchasing them. These trees were raised in ideal soil for the purpose, and the price of $1.50 each includes bailings and f.o.b cars. A great many of the trees will go up, and they are certainly a beautiful lot. The buds were taken from fully mature trees and splendid producers, in fact when we purchased these trees we went into all particulars, as we wished the best that money could buy. If you have any friends who could use the elegant trees we would be pleased to hear from them. WILLIAMS BROS. CO. P.S.—If interested kindly communicate with our Los Angeles or Anaheim office.
