STANTON IN THE NORTH Making Votes Everywhere in Effective Campaign Hon. P. A. Stanton is now campaigning through the northern part of the state, where he and a party of his friends have been for several weeks, and it has been discovered by the astute politicians who are handling the campaigns of other candidates for the republican nomination for Governor that Stanton is building up one of the strongest political organizations in the State, and, as usual with him, he is doing it in a thorough manner. For several weeks the oppositions wondered what Stanton was up to, and now, when it is too late, they discover that he has cemented a large following together with the business proposition that Southern California is entitled to the Governorship this term; that he, being the only candidate for the nomination coming from south of the Tehachapi, should have the support of all republicans who believe that the republican party stands for fairness, justice and political honesty, and who want the republican party to win in the coming election, after the nominations are made. And the beauty of Stanton's campaign is that the organization he is building up, held together as it is by justice, cannot be broken. The members of it have an argument that is unanswerable, because it is honest, just and right, and no one can gain say it. Mr. Stanton is making a clean fight and his followers generously admit that all else is equal, all five of the candidates for the republican nomination being good men, but they say that Stanton has a just claim to the nomination by reason of being a Southern California man, and that he is the only one of the five who by reason of the peculiar A SANTA ANA LAWSUIT Heavy Damages Asked by Stockholder in Soda Company An action asking for a judgment of $53,528.84 has been begun at Santa Ana by Howard Hill, a stockholder, against a former board of directors of the Pacific Coast Soda Co., alleging the former board of directors is responsible for the expenditure of that amount of money on property to which the company has no deed. The complaint further declares that the company is insolvent and asks that a receiver be appointed to turn all assets into cash, pay all debts and apportion the remainder among the stockholders. Hill lives near Los Angeles. He states in his complaint that he owns 7010 shares of stock in the soda company, for which he paid $5380. The defendants named are Greely Kolts, A. G. Heskett, E. B. Van Horn, J. F. Wilhite, J. Austin Larson, W. H. Neher, James Irvine, Mit Phillips, R. T. Harris, A. J. Crookshank, the First National Bank, the Irvine Co. and the Soda company. Kolts and Larson were promoters of the company. The last four named are Santa Ana men. The complaint alleges that the board of directors spent $1,210.37 for a water plant at Aliso station on land that is owned by the Irvine Co. It alleges that $23,552.71 was spent on a soda ash building and $17,-841.76 on a power house and machine shop at Aliso. These buildings were put on property for which the company had a contract of purchase from the Irvine Co., whereby the plant must be operated at least ninety days within eighteen months. The plant was never operated, and the Irvine company may now claim the land, though it has never done so. The sum of $924 was spent on the purchase of the land. Clear title was never secured.

The members of it have an argument that is unanswerable, because it is honest, just and right, and no one can gain say it. Mr. Stanton is making a clean fight and his followers generously admit that all else is equal, all five of the candidates for the republican nomination being good men, but they say that Stanton has a just claim to the nomination by reason of being a Southern California man, and that he is the only one of the five, who, by reason of the peculiar circumstances that obtain, could surely win the election, after getting the nomination. "The people of Northern California are almost as thoroughly convinced that Southern California is entitled to the governorship this term as the people of Southern California are," he said upon his arrival in Sacramento, "and it seems now as if they are going to make it unanimous. Everywhere I go I find people who have been talking in my behalf before I came, and sentiment already created for my candidacy. The spirit of the "square deal" seems to have prevailed the entire northern portion of the state, and, while there are four candidates for the republican nomination for Governor who live in the northern part of the state, and but one candidate from the southern portion, even the personal friends of the northern candidates are recognizing the justness of the claim of Southern California, and I am getting support from many of them." Mr. Stanton said in an interview that he is going to continue to preach the gospel of the "square deal" and the governorship for Southern California, clear to the Oregon line. "If it is an honest argument in Southern California, where it has brought me the solid support there, it is just as honest an argument in the north, where the people are ready to be convinced that I am the man for the place. They all recognize the claim of Southern California, and I am giving them an opportunity to see me, and talk with me, and to judge for themselves whether I am the man for Governor or not." The Stanton campaign will be extended to the Sacramento Valley during the week. Mr. Stanton is making a clean fight, having but good words to say of all his opponents. He refuses to be drawn into any controversies, makes no exaggerated claims, but keeps going 16 hours a day, meeting hundreds of people daily and makes an excellent impression. THE SALARIES CASE On June 14 District Attorney Davis filed in the supreme court his opening brief in the Orange county salaries case. This case is the one brought by J. C. Thomas against the county treasurer to test the validity of the salaries provided by the last legislature for a number of additional deputies at the courthouse. Judge Wimis decided that the law was valid, and the salaries are being paid under his decision. The district attorney and Attorney E. E. Keech, for Thomas, took an appeal. The respondents have thirty days in which spent on a soda ash building and $17,841.76 on a power house and machine shop at Aliso. These buildings were put on property for which the company had a contract of purchase from the Irvine Co., whereby the plant must be operated at least ninety days within eighteen months. The plant was never operated, and the Irvine company may now claim the land, though it has never done so. The sum of $924 was spent on the purchase of the land. Clear title was never secured. The sum of $10,000 was expended, for which it is alleged no accurate account was returned. All these alleged expenditures aggregate $53,528.84. Hill further alleges that he demanded of the board that suit be brought against the Irvine Co. to quiet title to the Aliso property, but that the board refused to bring the suit. The First National Bank is named as a defendant because it holds in escrow the deed to the property. The complaint alleges that the board of directors named by it entered into the contract. It is well known in the history of the Pacific Coast Soda Co. that the contract for the property was made before the Santa Ana men became directors. Also while the complaint alleges the board has had control of the company, it is well known that some of the defendants severed their connection with the company a few weeks after it was established, while others have not been on the board for months and some of them for years. The company was organized in 1907. Last January the Pacific Coast Soda company stockholders authorized its board of directors to sell out and close up the business of the company. Hill alleges that nothing has been done to that end. However, negotiations have been carried on and progress to the desired end has been made as rapidly as possible.

ATTACHMENT BY SHERIFF That Mrs. M. E. Bridenbecker of Redondo is going to make a fight to get $5000, the amount of the judgment awarded her in her suit against Nico Beck Meyer of Anaheim is shown by the fact that an execution has been issued and Mrs. Meyer's interest in twenty-five acres here has been attached by Sheriff Lacy. Mrs. Bridenbecker sued for $15,000, alleging Mrs. Meyer has maliciously caused her arrest at Redondo. The defendants, Mrs. Meyer and her husband, Carl, did not appear in court, and judgment for $5000 was given without a contest. The plaintiff stated that the Meyers had transferred their property to another, possibly with a view of avoiding execution, preferring that method to making a fight in court. Sheriff Lacy has attached the interest of Mrs. Meyer and her husband in property at Brookhurst that now stands in the name of Alex Meyer. Housewife—Are you willing to chop some wood for your dinner? Plodding Pete—Sorry, mum, but I am a Pinchot man. A YUMA HUMORIST Way down in Yuma a man named Sanguinetti does all the general merchandise and charity business for miles around. He advertises his store but keeps the charity strictly quiet. One morning, having heard that a family of Mexicans had been burned out the night before, he sent his clerk to inquire surreptitiously if the man was deserving and in need of assistance. The clerk returned, reporting that the Mexican did not own the destroyed dwelling, and as for his property had saved every bit of it. "Ah, then he is not so badly off," ventured Sanguinetti. "What did he have to save?" With a dry smile the clerk answered, "One string of red peppers and a picture of Jesus." Innis—Do I love her? Why, man, I can't sleep nights for thinking about her. Owens—That's not proof positive. I get the same effect from my tailor's bills. TO BETTER COUNTRY LIFE Many Subjects to Be Discussed at Dallas Meeting The second annual convention of the Southwest Interstate Association for Country Life will meet at Dallas, Texas, August 9th and 10th. Delegates to this meeting will be appointed from Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Louisiana, Nebraska, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee. The Commercial clubs, state teachers' associations of all the states mentioned will send representatives to the Dallas convention. The Dallas chamber of commerce and the Dallas News are working with the state superintendent, Hon. E. D. Cameron of Oklahoma who is president of the Southwest Interstate Country Life Association to make this one of the greatest conventions of the year. Mr. Cameron is a strong advocate of the country life movement and hopes to see the Southwest association expanded into a National country life association. If Mr. Cameron's ideas are followed, some of the features that will be stressed in the program at Dallas will be: 1. Consolidation of school districts and the formation of graded grammar schools and high schools. 2. State aid to rural high schools. 3. Practical education and practical teaching. 4. Simplified course of study for rural schools. 5. General means for improving the social life of the community or neighborhood. 6. The advantages of improved public highways to the social, industrial and educational needs of the community. 7. The formation of local and county institutes to study the means of great changes in manufactures and commerce inequalities and discriminations have arisen, and naturally the separate man suffers most. The unattached man has problems that government should understand. The reasons for the lack of a highly organized rural society are very many, as the full report explains. The leading specific causes are: A lack of knowledge on the part of the farmers of the exact agricultural conditions and possibilities of their regions; lack of good training for country life in the schools; the disadvantage or handicap of the farmer as against the established business systems and interests, preventing him from securing adequate returns for his products, depriving him of the benefits that would result from unmonopolized rivers and the conservation of forests, and depriving the community, in many cases, of the good that would come from the use of great tracts of agricultural land that are now held for speculative purposes; lack of good highway facilities; the widespread continuing depletion of soils, with the injurious effect on rural life; a general need of new and active leadership. Other causes contributing to the general result are: Lack of any adequate system of agricultural credit, whereby the farmer may readily secure loans on fair terms; the shortage of labor, a condition that is often complicated by intemperance among workmen, lack of institutions and incentives that tie the laboring man to the soil; the burdens and the narrow life of farm women; lack of adequate supervision of public health.

Practical education and practical teaching. 4. Simplified course of study for rural schools. 5. General means for improving the social life of the community or neighborhood. 6. The advantages of improved public highways to the social, industrial and educational needs of the community. 7. The formation of local and county institutes to study the means of increasing farm revenues. 8. Means of encouraging local manufacturing enterprises. Believing that a proper discussion of the foregoing topics by both men and women of each and every community will be highly beneficial, Mr. Cameron invites the co-operation of all agricultural, commercial and educational associations in promoting a closer study of the needs of our agricultural population. To this end he especially urges the study of the elementary phases of agriculture and domestic science. The meeting at Dallas will be thoroughly representative and there will be a large attendance. Many delegates have already been appointed and lists of others are being sent in from time to time. The commission finds that agriculture in the United States, taken altogether, is prosperous commercially, when measured by the conditions that have obtained in previous years, although there are some regions in which this is only partially true. The country people are producing vast quantities of supplies for food, shelter, clothing, and for use in the arts. The country homes are improving in comfort, attractiveness, and healthfulness. Not only in the material wealth that they produce, but in the supply of independent and strong citizenship, the agricultural people constitute the very foundation of our national efficiency. As agriculture is the immediate basis of country life, so it follows that the general affairs of the open country, speaking broadly, are in a condition of improvement. Many institutions, organizations, and movements are actively contributing to the increasing welfare of the open country. The most important of these are the United States Department of Agriculture, the colleges of agriculture and the experiment stations in the States, and the national farmers' organizations. These institutions and organizations are now by intemperance among workmen, lack of institutions and incentives that tie the laboring man to the soil; the burdens and the narrow life of farm women; lack of adequate supervision of public health. FRUIT COMPONENTS A Little Study May Be Helpful to Their Proper Healthful Use A little study will show a housewife what are the properties of different fruits and which are best to use in her household. Children ought always be taught how to use fruits. All skin should be rejected in fruits such as grapes, apples, pears, plums gooseberries. They are obstructive and may lead to internal complaints. They always upset digestion. The flesh or pulp of all fruit is good. Most valuable salts of magnesia, lime, potash, iron are contained in most fruits, together with a great deal of acid. The salts vitalize and purify the blood; the acid corrects noxious acids and renders the blood not acid, but, as it should be, alkaline. Grapes have potash and tartaric acid, together with a great percentage of sugar. They act most beneficially on the blood, cleanse the system, make the skin pure and free from blemishes, and are very good for dyspeptics. Bananas are nearly all nourishment, are free from fibre, and are recommended for use by those with delicate digestive powers. Tomatoes are also fruit rich in potash, especially good for the blood, and with a marked action on digestive operations. They provide alkaline matter for the bile and are wholesome for people who suffer from jaundice or sick headache. Lemons are excellent for curing colds or allaying feverishness. Their citric acid supplies the blood with a cooling agent, making this fruit a febrifuge. Oranges act in the same way, but with slightly less strength. The sugar of fruit is directly absorbable. Grapes, strawberries and cherries have the most. Malic acid is particularly helpful to the body, and apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries all contain it. Tomatoes also contain it. Strawberries are the richest of fruit, and their acid is a delicate blend of citric and malic acid mixed in such proportion as to be a quite new acid. Red fruits are richest in iron. The valuable tartrate of potash is present naturally in grapes. Cranberries are given to sufferers from erythrolepis oxydation. Of this court of arbitral justice it is proposed that Colonel Roosevelt shall be made chairman and that Elihu Root, his former secretary of state, shall be made general secretary. It is understood here that Japan, Germany, France and Italy have indicated that Roosevelt is their choice for the chairmanship. The reason that this country is likely to be granted two memberships in the court is that Colonel Roosevelt is a popular world figure, in whom other nations have confidence, and that this country is singularly well situated to judge fairly as between other nations. It is asserted that the proposal to have Roosevelt head the court came from Germany, and that not much time will elapse before the tender will be made to him. The proposed court will consist of fifteen members. Its annual expenditures will be about $200,000. For the chairman a salary of $15,000 is suggested. The court is expected to meet for three months each spring, probably at The Hague. Testimony in all cases will be taken by referees. What Roosevelt's attitude would be to such a career is not open to serious question. He would quickly grasp the opportunity to reduce the talk about world peace to practical operation. His own view about the opportunity is expressed in this sentence from his address in Christiana: "The ruler or statesman who should bring about such a combination would have earned his place in history for all time and his title to the gratitude of mankind." COULD BE TRUSTED "Rufus, you old loafer, do you think Many institutions, organizations, and movements are actively contributing to the increasing welfare of the open country. The most important of these are the United States Department of Agriculture, the colleges of agriculture and the experiment stations in the States, and the national farmers' organizations. These institutions and organizations are now properly assuming leadership in country-life affairs, and consequently in many of the public questions of national bearing. With these agencies must be mentioned state departments of agriculture, agricultural societies, and organizations of very many kinds, teachers in schools, workers in church and other religious associations, traveling libraries, and many other groups all working with commendable zeal to further the welfare of the people of the open country. Yet it is true, notwithstanding all this progress as measured by historical standards, that agriculture is not commercially as profitable as it is entitled to be for the labor and energy that the farmer expends and the risks that he assumes, and that the social conditions in the country are far short of their possibilities. We must measure our agriculture efficiency by its possibilities rather than by comparison with previous conditions. The farmer is almost necessarily handicapped in the development of his business, because his capital is small and the volume of his transactions limited; and usually stands practically alone against organized interests. In the general readjustment of modern life due to the malic acid is particularly helpful to the body, and apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries all contain it. Strawberries are the richest of fruit, and their acid is a delicate blend of citric and malic acid mixed in such proportion as to be a quite new acid. Red fruits are richest in iron. The valuable tartrate of potash is present naturally in grapes. Cranberries are given to sufferers from erysipelas, over which disease the fruit has soothing power. Blackberries have a tonic action and they build up the whole system. Black currants have also a curing power and have virtue over colds. Apples are soothing to the nervous system and are a specific, when taken in quantity, for indigestion. They act beneficially, too, in rheumatism. Figs are excellent laxatives for children, and their sugar is the richest glucose. Pineapples contain a special poptogen, which mingles with the food eaten and aids digestion. Seeds of fruit never digest; neither do skins. Stones swallowed are dangerous, necessitating operations. If swallowed, the person must immediately take a basin of thick gruel or bread and milk, so as to surround the stone and carry it away harmlessly. Limes, as well as lemons, with their dash of strong citric acid, are scurvey specifics and may safely be taken by those with faulty complexions.

Delivery Made Everywhere Valencia Orange Trees We have for sale 1600 yearling Late Valencia Buds, which we purchased some time ago to set out ourselves. Having sold the land which we intended to use for this purpose, we wish to sell these trees. We doubt there is a nicer 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 bailing 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.
