GOOD ADVICE TO FRUIT GROWERS Fruit Association Issues Circular to Orchardists Manager Sandilands of the Anaheim Fruit Association has mailed the following letter to growers: Anaheim, Cal., May 10, 1911. The heaviest shipping months of the season have passed and the biggest crop of oranges California has ever had is now well on the way to being completely marketed. Those of us who have been actively interested in the orange situation for some years back are naturally surprised and feel very much gratified that this enormous crop has been sold at such fair prices without congestion in the market. It has strengthened the confidence of every grower as to the future of the citrus industry against possible overproduction and consequent unprofitable prices. The tremendous success with which this great crop (it will total over 47,000 cars) has been so profitably and admirably handled, has been questionably due to the wonderful system of distribution, marketing methods and resources of the California Fruit Growers Exchange which, together with its far-reaching and convincing advertising campaign has made possible that which, ten years ago, would not have been considered even probable. This season has taught us forcibly and clearly beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if we will take care of our orchards and improve the quality of our fruit, as is being done in other districts, we have nothing to fear in the future with the California GIRLS' CLUB ENTERTAINS Delightful Evening Enjoyed by the Maidens' and Their Guests The progressive evening given by the Girls' Tennis club the evening of May 12, was one of the most enjoyable affairs attended by the young set. After partners were chosen at the home of Miss Lacey, the guests were conveyed in machines to the home of Miss Adams where dainty refreshments were served and partners chosen for the second part of the drive to Miss Day's home. Here a gypsy fortune teller seated by a campfire predicted the fate of each young man, and presenting him with a candy heart, commanded him to go forth and seek his fair partner to complete the drive to the home of Miss Hand, where supper was served and dancing and music enjoyed until the "wee sma' hours." Those present were the Misses Adams, Cole, Day, Lacey, Finney, Nordheim, Hand, Rust, Robertson, Whittaker, Hazel Lacey, Beatrice Day, Katheryn Hand, Grace Adams, Evelyn Finney, Miss Hall of Sacramento, Miss Johnston of Los Angeles and the Misses Smith of Anaheim. Messrs. Heying, Sheridan, R. Adams, Goble, McAulay, Rannow, Segnor, Rust, Dickel, Dutton, Carter, Lewis, O. Heying, Wayne Goble, and the Messrs. Peckham of Santa Ana and Mr. Dionysius of Los Angeles. TWO LITTLE WOMEN The Adams Sisters will give a high class entertainment at the Christian church tomorrow evening, May 19, at 8 o'clock. These two graceful, vivacious little women win their audience at once with impersonations, songs, readings, Swiss scenes and Grecian art tableaux. MINUTES OF BOARD Official Record of Secretary The Board of Directors met in Saturday, May 6, present. The minutes of the meeting were read and presented.

Request from thefor pipe-crossings,aal or piping of ditcheswas referred to thorfor investigation ar Growers Exchange which, together with its far-reaching and convincing advertising campaign has made possible that which, ten years ago, would not have been considered even probable. This season has taught us forcibly and clearly beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if we will take care of our orchards and improve the quality of our fruit, as is being done in other districts, we have nothing to fear in the future with the California Fruit Growers Exchange back of us to attend to the distribution and selling and see that every grower gets full value for his fruit with returns made in the prompt and satisfactory manner which is one of the Exchange's strong points, and which is so essential to every grower. Let us give our orchards what they are calling for in the proper and frequent application of the best fertilizers with plenty of cultivation. Let us irrigate as often as possible during the summer and never, even for a short period, allow our trees to suffer from want of moisture, and we will not have much to fear from puffy fruit. By all means let us fumigate, even if our trees seem free from scale. We firmly believe it will pay to fumigate and not take the chance of some scale that has escaped notice getting in later and spoiling a large percentage of fruit. If we will do our part in the raising of good fruit consistently every year, there can be no doubt that the California Fruit Growers Exchange will take care of their end of it and get for us all our fruit is worth all the time. Yours very truly, Anaheim Fruit Association. G. W. Sandilands, Secy.

Residence, Center street, two houses east of high school. W. M. Bonkosky. The editor of the Goldendale, Wash. Independent awakens to find himself famous while at the same time slipping one over his hated rival. In competitive bidding for the county printing he made away with the bacon at a price said to be one-billionth part of a cent per inch per insertion. Going some, we should say. To earn a cent he undertakes to set a string of fine type half way round the world, and a dollar stretches it to five times the distance from the earth to the moon. He gets his name into the papers, ears and all. Anaheim's new 5, 10 to 35 cent store is proving a big success, and is greatly appreciated by the Anaheim people. Why? Because merchandise is being sold at about ½ the price you are accustomed to paying. If you have not made this store a visit, do so. It means a big saving. Choice candles, 15 cents a pound, at the 5, 10 to 35 cent store. MINUTES OF WATER BOARD MEETING Official Record of Proceedings, by Secretary Armstrong The Board of Directors of the A. U. W.

Mr. King and Roscoe, his 8-year-old son, were pinned under the machine and drowned in three feet of muddy water.

A communication was received from the Amalgamated Oil Co., stating that they had been unable to have a proper tank completed for the storing of oil, but the same would be completed in a few days. They requested that the rendering of a report of production therefore be waived until June. They stated that the production had decreased to approximately 400 barrels per day, including sediment and water, which has made its appearance, some days the water content running as high as 15 per cent of the total volume. The writer stated that in a few days he could arrange to meet the directors, and arrive at an agreement regarding disposal of royalty oil, and additional work to be planned. On motion the request for the waiving of the report of production until June, was granted.

Mr. King and Roscoe, his 8-year-old son, were pinned under the machine and drowned in three feet of muddy water. Mildred, the 15-year-old daughter, who was in the tonneau, was thrown free of the wreckage and after disentangling herself from the weeds, tried to extricate her little brother. Finding this impossible, she ran three-quarters of a mile to the home of John Bateman for assistance. Horses were used to pull the auto out of the mire and the bodies of father and son were found side by side. The little boy had run the machine after leaving Newport Beach, where the party had passed the day, but getting a gnat in his eye, had turned the wheel over to his father. Coroner T. A. Winbigler took the bodies to the parlors of Mills & Winbigler, where inquests were held on Monday morning. Mrs. King, who had remained at her home, is prostrated with grief. William King, brother of deceased, was killed some years ago at Olive by the caving of an embankment of earth at a gravel pit. King was a candidate for the republican nomination for county treasurer. An hour before his death he was in this city conversing with friends. ALCOHOL Distilled from Wine. Especially adapted for medicinal and massaging purposes. Sold in quantities of 1-5 gallon or more.
