A NEIGHBORLY VISIT PAID BUENA PARK TWO HUNDRED BOOSTERS AT TEND FARMERS' FESTIVAL Fifty Automobiles Fill Roadway in Front of Schoolhouse, Where Excellent Exhibit of Section's Products Is Made—Ladies Serve Chicken Dinner—Boy at Door Collects Nickels for Dusting Visitors' Shoes—Merton Skinner's Narrow Escape in Race "Hold on there. Hold on there." You can't come in here without paying five cents. No one allowed in this building unless his shoes are dusted." So spoke a diminutive kid at the doorway of the Buena Park schoolhouse, a large duster in hand, and fantastically garbed, as he and another wee kid tried to keep back a surging tide of 200 men and women who tried to effect an entrance into the building. Some of the men in the front rank tried to sidestep the youngster. Others gave him the glassy eye, or tried to. The kid with the duster wouldn't have it, as he and his companion danced from side to side, dusting off shoes, and taking in the dinero. All yielded up their price good-naturedly. It was the first time many of the delegation had had their shoes dusted in ever and ever so long. Inside the building the visitors found a splendid display of valley products, ranging from mammoth beets, pumpkins and corn to fine exhibits of poultry. The display illustrated the wonderful fertility of soil in the Park country, and elicited many expressions of praise from the visitors. Bearing streamers bearing the words, "Anaheim—Ask Us. Anaheim Carnival Sept. 27-Oct. 1," half a hundred autos, loaded to the guards, pulled out promptly at half-past 12 for go. These three Southern California institutions propose to organize a commercial expedition to Panama from the ports of Los Angeles and San Diego in January, 1912. The largest and best equipped ocean going vessel available will be chartered and fitted up as a commercial exposition ship, and on the voyage to Panama this vessel will stop at every port of consequence between San Diego and Panama. The entire trip will consume about forty days, and the projectors of the expedition are now contemplating extending the time so as to include a trip from Panama to Valparaiso, Chile, and thence overland to Buenos Ayres and back. The expedition is not undertaken as a pleasure excursion, but has for its main object the establishing of closer business relations between the business men and commercial institutions of the west coast of the Americas and Mexico. It is believed by the commercial interests of Southern California that there is to be an opportunity for large expansion of business between the cities of the west coast of the three Americas when the Panama canal is open, and in anticipation of this the commercial interests are to be brought together and cemented closer in this way. However, passengers who go for the pleasure of the trip and see the country will be taken. About two hundred representatives of business firms, with exhibits of their manufactured products will be carried. Entertainments for the business men and officials will be given on board the ship in each of the ports visited, and in this way the projectors expect to form associations that will be lasting and beneficial. ANAHEIM BOY FOR OXFORD? Rhodes Scholarship Within Reach of Bright Lad—New Buildings at State Farm (From an Occasional Correspondent) Inside the building the visitors found a splendid display of valley products, ranging from mammoth beets, pumpkins and corn to fine exhibits of poultry. The display illustrated the wonderful fertility of soil in the Park country, and elicited many expressions of praise from the visitors. Bearing streamers bearing the words, "Anaheim—Ask Us. Anaheim Carnival Sept. 27-Oct. 1," half a hundred autos, loaded to the guards, pulled out promptly at half-past 12 for Buena Park. The pilot car was driven by J. W. Duckworth, with Henry M. Adams, president of the board of trade, George W. Hamler, director-general of the Anaheim Carnival, and H. S. Hadsell of the sugar factory, as his passengers. He beat the motor cops out Los Angeles street, with a line of autos a quarter of a mile in length following him. Passing the sugar factory, all hands marveled at the change that had recently come over the country to the north. Into Orangethorpe avenue the 200 speeders turned for a straight-away run to the Park. The sprightly town was reached on time, and all hands were greeted by the Park welcoming committee, headed by Dr. Hasson, Messrs. McComber, Warren, Wilcox, Newcombe and many others. At 1 o'clock all hands sat down to a chicken dinner upstairs. The meal was served by the ladies mutual aid society, and consisted of real chicken, vegetables, sliced tomatoes, pie like mother used to make, and coffee which made the electric percolator look tired. After a substantial meal the crowd was delighted with a moving picture show. Many walked about the lower floor inspecting exhibits. Adjoining the schoolhouse Charley Newcombe's biplane attracted attention. Charley tried to have it ready for an ascent, but found time too short. However, the aircraft attracted great attention, and Charley had a large audience all the afternoon explaining to them the different parts of the machine. At 3 o'clock an auto race twice around a rectangular course two miles in extent, making a total of four miles. Three cars entered. Heiny Braden cf the Weisel garage drove a Flanders 20, Merton Skinner of the Skinner garage a Buick 40, and Charley Newcombe of Buena Park a Maxwell 30. Braden won in 5:59. Each car picked up a Buena Park girl at each of three corners on the first round, and on the second round carried. Entertainments for the business men and officials will be given on board the ship in each of the ports visited, and in this way the projectors expect to form associations that will be lasting and beneficial. ANAHEIM BOY FOR OXFORD? Rhodes Scholarship Within Reach of Bright Lad—New Buildings at State Farm (From an Occasional Correspondent) Berkeley, August 19.—Students of the university and students in high schools throughout the state who contemplate coming to college should all have in mind the Rhodes scholarships as a superb opportunity for travel, residence and study abroad. These scholarships were founded through their will of the late Cecil Rhodes. Every state and territory in the union has one representative each for two successive years and again after a blank year for another two successive years and so on indefinitely. The scholarships yield $1500 per annum and are tenable for three years. The examinations represent simply the entrance tests that are given to English students coming into the university, and any earnest American student should be able to pass them with ease. Candidates to be eligible must have completed their sophomore year in a recognized college or university. The university of California, Stanford, Pomona college and St. Ignatius college have so far among institutions in California been represented at Oxford. The courses at Oxford offer opportunity for study in the classics, philosophy, history, natural sciences, law and economics. The terms are short (three of eight weeks each) leaving ample opportunity for travel and study on the continent. There will be no appointment in the year 1912, but scholars will be sent in 1913 and in 1914, qualifying examinations occurring in 1912 and 1913. It is important that candidates should bear in mind that the examinations are merely qualifying. The papers are set in California, sealed and immediately for warded to Oxford where they are corrected. The Oxford committee then sends back a list of the persons who have passed without indication of the grades. The California committee is entirely free to select the candidate from the eligible list, taking into account not merely scholarship but personally and general qualities. Candidates must not only have completed their sophomore year but have passed the nineteenth and not have reached the twenty-fifth birthday. Year. The school diversity rapidly traction. The far At 3 o'clock an auto race twice around a rectangular course two miles in extent, making a total of four miles. Three cars entered. Heiny Braden cf the Weisel garage drove a Flanders 20, Merton Skinner of the Skinner garage a Buick 40, and Charley Newcombe of Buena Park a Maxwell 30. Braden won in 5:59. Each car picked up a Buena Park girl at each of three corners on the first round, and on the second round left them at the corners. Skinner was first away, starting like an arrow. At the third corner, while going 30 miles, his car went into a ditch and skidded. It struck a telephone post, which probably saved Skinner's life. From the starting point it looked as if Skinner's car had turned over upon him, and many ran to the scene of the accident. The car's fender was broken and a front tire tore off on one of the front wheels. Skinner retained his seat and pulled his car out of the ditch. Barring a severe shaking up he was unhurt. The judges awarded the race to Braden. Newcombe was second. The party returned to this city at 4 o'clock, well repaid for their neighborly visit.

Persons interested in the education of prospective farmers will welcome news of recent improvements at the university farm school at Davis. The boys of the state have shown such interest in the work at Davis and the attendance, has increased so splendidly that a second dormitory has been rendered necessary and is now under construction. Eighty persons can easily live in the new building. The rooms are fine and comfortable, most of them intended for one student, but some will accommodate three and those on the second floor two. A special suite of rooms is set apart on the first floor for students who happen to be ill, with diet kitchen and a private bath. In the basement there is a large play room with shower-baths adjoining. There is also in this part of the building a laundry and drying space available for student use. The farm school opened this week with an initial registration of 85, an increase of 25 per cent over last year. The school diversified its diversity, rapidly扩展 its open Oct. 2.
