ANAHEIM VS. HAT BOXES Another Walgreens Dangling from the Locals' Belt Before one of the smallest crowds of the season the Anaheim team defeated the Hat Boxes of Los Angeles on Christmas day by a score of 8 to 2. The game was played in one hour and ten minutes, being the fastest time made on the local grounds. Having ample time after the game the teams played an exhibition of five innings, the Hat Boxes winning by a score of 1 to 0. Huntington was once more in the game and played a star game in left field. He was given the g hand when he first came to bat on popped out to Hensling at second. Henricks was also back on the job, playing his usual good game at first. He made a pretty one-handed catch in the fourth when Carpenter threw high. Flacher was out of the game with a sore foot and Leland Lewis again played second base. Shaffer, first baseman for the visitors, swatted the ball for a home run in the eighth inning. F. Lewis took the batting honors with three hits in as many times up, getting a two-base hit and a pair of singles. Schneider was a close second, two hits in three times up—a two base hit and a single. In the second inning the locals held a baffest, getting a single and four doubles, scoring five runs. Henrichs, first up, hit a hard one down third base line, too hard for Oscar to handle cleanly, Joe getting credit for a hit. L. Lewis sacrificed him to second with a pretty bunt and Ramm hit to deep center for two bases, scoring Henricks. Wisser penned out to Hensling at second but... Schneider was a close second, two hits in three times up—a two base hit and a single. In the second inning the locals held a batfest, getting a single and four doubles, scoring five runs. Henrichs, first up, hit a hard one down third base line, too hard for Oscar to handle cleanly, Joe getting credit for a hit. L. Lewis sacrificed him to second with a pretty bunt and Ramm hit to deep center for two bases, scoring Henricks. Wisser popped out to Hensling at second but Mensenkamp knocked a two bagger to left, scoring Ramm. Capt. Lewis seeing his men were hitting the ball proceeded to do the same, scoring Ramm with a clean two bagger. Not to be outdone by the big fellows little Freddie Schneider knocked the ball over right field fence for another two bagger. Huntington reached first on error of first baseman and Schneider scored on the play. Mr. Lind having heard of Benny Carpenter took no chances, but gave him four wide ones. Henricks for the second time up grounded out, Oscar to Shaffer, ending the rungetting. In the fourth another run was scored. Mensenkamp out, Hensling to Shaffer, Capt. Lewis hit to left and stole second, going to third when the ball rolled out to center. Schneider out, Lind to Shaffer, Huntington hit safe- to left, scoring the captain. Carpenter out, Hensling to Shaffer. In the sixth two more runs were made on as many hits. Wisser out, and Mensenkamp down, Lewis got his third hit to left, again stealing second and going to third on a wild throw. Schneider hit safe to left-field, scoring Lewis. Fred stole second and third, scoring on a wild heave over third. Huntington struck out. The Hat Boxes made their first run in the sixth. In the eight inning Shaffer hit for a homerun. Many fans were disappointed in not seeing Eddie Goddard in the game. Eddie was kept at home by a big Christmas dinner. He promises to come down shortly and see a good team play ball. Next Thursday one of the most popular ball players in Anaheim will be married. We don't know who it is, but the boys say if anyone asks Stump he'll tell. Next Sunday on the home grounds the big game of the season will be played. The Olinda oil wells will come down to cross bats for the first game of a three-game series. The Olinda fans are coming down in THOUSANDS OF BOY FARMERS The success of the boys has exceeded that of older farmers. In 1900 the boys in one county in Mississippi averaged seventy-four bushels of corn to the acre, while the farmers of the county, employing old methods, averages less than 20 bushels. The result in special cases is almost beyond belief. Bascomb Usher, the son of a farmer in ordinary circumstances in Marlboro county, S. C., in 1909 made on his acre 152 1-2 bushels of corn at a cost of thirty-one cents a bushel. His was the best showing and won the county and state prizes with a special prize of a trip to Washington offered by Dr. Knapp. His corn was sold partly for seed at $2 a bushel. The sale of his crop and his prizes brought him $500 and he is now in college. De Witt Lundy of Lexington, Miss. made sixty-three bushels without fertilizer and in spite of the fact that his crop was badly damaged by insects. The total cost of production was $9.15. He also won county and state prizes and a trip to Washington, as did the two following boys—Elmer Halter of Conway, Ark., who made a total of eighty-five and one-third bushels in spite of a bad season, and Ralph Bellwood of Manchester, Va., who made 122 bushels at a cost of 14 1-2 cents a bushel. These four boys went to Washington on their prize trip and were presented by Secretary Wilson with the first certificate of merit ever given youthful farmers by the department of agriculture. Next year the secretary will give certificates to others and governors and state superintendents of education will also give certificates of merit to all boys raising seventy-five bushels of corn on one acre at a cost not to exceed 30 cents a pound. The immediate effect of all this is tremendous, and the ultimate good resultant no man can estimate. Forty-six thousand boys are now receiving training in scientific farming under Dr. Knapp's methods and the number is increasing rapidly.

Forty-six thousand boys are now receiving training in scientific farming under Dr. Knapp's methods and the number is increasing rapidly. The tide that has long flowed to the cities is sweeping back, and twenty years from now the backwoods farm will wield a power undreamed of in all its past history. By that time it is doubtful whether there will be such a thing in the United States as a poor backwoods farm, for the Knapp idea is becoming an obsession wherever it is understood. HEALTH PARAGRAPHS The conservation of the Home will be the great battle cry of the 20th century. California State Board of Health Bulletin. Three questions on "Conservation" Why conserve the life of the forest and forget the life of the forester and his children? Why protect cattle from Texas fever and not protect the people from typhoid and malarial fever? Why conserve the orange tree and fight the San Jose scale and not conserve the people who eat oranges?—U. S. Senator R. L. Owen. The "boarding out" of babies (the foundlings) is proving a successful experiment. The individual care of foster-mothers and clean milk from healthy cows make it so.—Mrs. Elise W. Graupner, Association of Collegiate Alumnae. California, with its delightful climate, is the playground of the United States. Here our children grow up with vigorous bodies and minds... RECLAIMING ARID WEST Millions Appropriated for Reclamation Projects President Taft has approved the report of the special board of army engineers, recommending the apportionment of the new $20,000,000 fund provided by congress, among the following reclamation projects in the west: Salt River, Arizona, $495,000. Yuma, Arizona, and California, $1,-200,000. Grand Valley, Colorado, $1,000,000. Uncompaghre, Colo., $1,500,000. Payette-Boise, Idaho, $2,000,000. Milky River, Montana, $1,000,000. North Platte, Wyoming and Nebraska, $2,000,000. Truckee-Carson, Nevada, $1,193,000. Rio Grande, N. M., Texas and Mexico, $4,500,000. Umatilla, Oregon, $325,000. Klamath, Oregon, and California $600,000. Strawberry Valley, Utah, $2,272,000 Sunnyside and Tieton, Yakima, in Washington, $1,250,000, and $665,000 respectively. The $20,000,000 is to be spent within the next five years and the interest on the loan is to be charged up against the projects. The following projects, completed; or nearing completion, carry a recommendation for funds from the general reclamation act sufficient only for maintenance and operation: Orland, Cal.; Carlsbad, N. M.; Hondo, N. M.; Garden City, Kan.; Kltas, Wapata and Benton, units of the Yakima, Wash., projects. In his letter to the secretary of the interior approving the report of the engineers, President Taft says, in part: "I hereby approve the report of the board of engineers in re- that he will grow a good crop, even if it is not seeded till the latter part of March or beginning of April, and it will be found that when the land has been put in good condition this is the best time to sow barley. With a good seed bed much less seed will be needed for a crop. The writer rented about thirty acres of hay land last year which had never been dry plowed; a special plow had to be used, making the first season's work expensive. When I left this land till the middle of winter before sowing, in order to kill the crop of wild oats, the owner was sure we should get no crop, and he would have right if the land had been wet plowed. A neighbor told me it was the best he had seen on the land for many years. This year we plowed the same land with a light double disc about a month ago without any difficulty. I would like to point out the one reagt evil of advocating dry-plowing, and I sincerely hope I have overestimated it. With the one crop farmer who has never summer fallowed or grown leguminous plants or otherwise fertilized his soil, it furnishes an opportunity to further deplete his worn out and neglected soil by mak- in proportion to the time spent out of doors. The playground association is endeavoring to promote this out of door life by promoting play and playgrounds.—C. E. Hudspeth, secretary California Playground Association. If we can teach a young mother that certain foods nourish, others poison, it is far better than pepsin or stomach pumps in after years. If the laws of sanitation, pure air, proper clothes and food are thoroughly understood by the masses, there will be less need in future generations for specific treatment of disease. Thus the campaign of education of conservation of health is carried on.—Mrs. C. E. Hutchinson, chairman hospital work, California Congress of Mothers. Conservation of life and health is the theme of the November bulletin of the State Board of Health, just issued. The leading bulletin is "California's New Industry—Growing Humans." Several articles on the fight against tuberculosis, syphilis, malaria and typhoid fever follow it. There are contributions from the newer organizations engaged in fortifying the individual and the home against disease. Representation is also given to other organizations which are powerful allies or leaders in the public health movement. The full department reports and vital statistics are given as usual. If the nation should seriously undertake to encourage as a bonafide industry the developing of physically efficient American laborers, it would seem eminently proper that in line with tariff policies this infant industry should be protected by a tariff on foreign labor. The tariffs thus collected from American industries which found it profitable to import labor should be expended on municipal maternity hospitals, on playgrounds, health departments and the schools.

DRY PLOWING Experience of a Northern Farm in Year of Scant Rainfall Mr. Thomas Bull gives the San Jose Mercury this sketch of his recent experience: With such a dry season as this the benefits and evils of dry plowing are or nearing completion, carry a recommendation for funds from the general reclamation act sufficient only for maintenance and operation: Orland, Cal.; Carlsbad, N. M.; Hondo, N. M.; Garden City, Kan.; Kitas, Wapata and Benton, units of the Yakima, Wash., projects. In his letter to the secretary of the interior approving the report of the engineers, President Taft says, in part: "I hereby approve the report of the board of engineers in respect to the reclamation projects to which they have made allotments from the $20,000,000 loan; but this approval so far as the amounts of the allotments are concerned, is not final and absolute, but is intended to be subject to change by adjustment and modification of the amounts as may be necessary for the intelligent and proper prosecution of the work, and to the advantage of the service. "You are authorized to call upon the secretary of the treasury to issue the certificates of indebtedness as needed to furnish the funds in accordance with the allotment recommended by the board and approved by me as the same shall be needed from time to time in pursuance of terms of the act." In the comprehensive report on reclamation work in general, the engineers board says: "The engineering structures of the various projects are as a whole well designed and are well built. Some of them, as the Pathfinder dam, the Shoshone dam, the Roosevelt dam, and the Gunnison tunnel are monuments reflecting great credit on both designer and the builder." The actual cost of completed work has almost invariably exceeded the original estimates, and in the case of some structures has been two or three times as large. This increase in cost has been the cause of much of the discontent among the settlers. It was partly due to a general increase in cost of labor and materials, partly to under estimates and an insufficient allowance for contingencies, and partly to the necessity of doing more work than was originally contemplated.

The check given to Mrs. Hess, proprietor of the Allerton hotel, in payment of a two-weeks board bill was drawn on a Portland bank. Bagley who has been negotiating several real estate deals during his fortnight in Santa Ana, giving checks therefore, one of the denomination of $5000. He is a well appearing man of 50 years and wears glasses. Awaiting a deposition from the Portland bank, Bagley's preliminary examination is set for January 20. Conrad Crookshank of Santa Ana has completed negotiations for the purchase of the 232 acre Rancho del Canyoncito from W. A. Zimmerman, the latter taking in part payment alfalfa lands in Tulare county by Crookshank. The consideration is reported to be $90,000. The Rancho del Canyoncito is located at San Juan Capistrano, south of Santa Ana, and is one of the finest properties in the county, being planted to ninety acres of walnuts, twenty acres in Valencia oranges and ten acres of apricots. DRY PLOWING Experience of a Northern Farm in Year of Scant Rainfall Mr. Thomas Bull gives the San Jose Mercury this sketch of his recent experience: With such a dry season as this the benefits and evils of dry plowing are very pertinent to discuss. Dry plowing gives the rancher a long season to prepare his land, so that he does not have to keep so much horse power. The soil receives great benefit from being exposed as long as possible to the sun and air, giving it the partial benefit of a summer fallow. When heavy rains fail on dry plowing the soil does not run together or bake, and you can allow your weeds to grow, killing them at the first favorable opportunity and to then sow your grain. Land that is dry plowed dries very quickly and affords the opportunity of late sowing, when you could not get onto wet plowed land that runs together with the first heavy rain and will bake hard before it is really fit to put a beam on, and in worn-out soil will not give a good seed bed. If we have a wet winter the water will soak into dry plowed land, and if the rancher will only keep off the land until it is ready he will have such a fine pulverized seed bed, which will perfectly conserve the moisture We Conduct a Hardware Store the way we think it ought to be conducted; namely, in the interest or the purchasing public. When we sell you an article, be it a paper of tacks or a steele range, we tell you exactly what to expect from your purchase; if it fails to "make good," your money back. If a customer asks for a special make or style or finish or size, he gets it to a dot—if we haven't what he asks for we tell him to take something "just as good." The Only Right Way to merchandize goods is the way that makes friends of all customers and makes it a pleasure to them to visit your store. That's the policy of this house.
