$500 FOR BEST WHEAT Sweepstake Prize is Open to Farmers of the World Lethbridge, Alberta, March 6.—The most valuable prize ever offered in open competition for the world for the best sheaf of hard wheat is announced by the exposition committee of the international exposition of dry farmed products, machinery, farm sanitation and labor saving devices, to be held at Lethbridge, Alberta, Oct. 21-26, in conjunction with the seventh international dry farming congress. It is a Stewart sheaf loader, valued at $500, and the donors, the Stewart sheaf loader company, of Winnipeg, will deliver the machine free of any charge to the winner, whether he farms in the United States, Canada, or elsewhere. “This is the second sweepstake prize we have announced,” says J. W. McNicol, chairman of the exposition committee, “and we have only begun to close arrangements for what are certain to be the most valuable prizes ever offered for dry-farmed products in open competition. This prize offer, following closely upon the $2500 Rumely oil-pull tractor for the best bushel of hard wheat, shows the class of premiums we shall distribute, and we are going to have the keenest competition on record. “The sheaf loader is one of the greatest time and labor saving devices used in harvesting operations, and a prize that will be appreciated by any thresherman or farmer. It sells for $500 f.o.b. Winnipeg, and the manufacturers offer to deliver it free of charges to the winner means that it is of far greater value, for, should the winner live at a distance or in the United States, there are freight and customs charges to be incurred consideration.” WAR AGAINST FRUIT PESTS Dr. Cook Sends Out Note of Warning to Growers It has been discovered by A. J. Cook, of the state horticulture commission, that many of the nurseries of California are infected with injurious insects and plant diseases. In other words, he has realized that while his office has been carrying on a fight of keeping disease from being brought into the orchards of the state comparatively little attention has been given to combatting the pests already here. As a result, rigid regulations are to be enforced even if it is necessary to put nurseries under quarantine. Mr. Cook has sent out the following letter to the nurserymen of the State, notifying them of the course he is to pursue: “For some time the state commissioner of horticulture has realized that many of the nurseries scattered throughout the State are affected to a greater or less degree with injurious insects and plant diseases. Such conditions ought not to exist in this, the foremost horticultural state of the union, and it is the intention of the state commissioner of horticulture to aid in correcting these conditions as far as possible. “In order that all may be treated alike, and acting in the belief that more can be accomplished through education than by force we are sending a copy of this letter (so far as we are able to do so) to each nurseryman in the state, so that he may take such steps as may be necessary to rid his nursery of insect pests and plant diseases before his grounds are inspected by deputies from this office or other authorized inspectors. “As the law now stands, there is practically no difference between the treatment of pests already establish-” The attempt to coach ships in Japan has prevailed to Capt.

Comparing the Japanese fleets, he finds only thirteen battles tonnage of 184,800, to thirty-one American tons, including naughts, with six m Dreadnaughts under control. The financial weak will, he holds, bar and propriations for naval years to come, and thus needs no longer feasible possessions.

Winnipeg, and the manufacturers offer to deliver it free of charges to the winner means that it is of far greater value, for, should the winner live at a distance or in the United States, there are freight and customs charges to be taken into consideration. "It is a machine that will pick the sheaves from the stok or from the ground, when lying flat, and by means of carriers elevate the grain into the wagon. It is guaranteed to do all that is claimed for it and with proper handling it will load the wagons quickly enough to keep any threshing machine supplied with a plenty of sheaves. The loader does the work of all the pitchers in the field, and because it loads so quickly fewer bundle wagons are required and a great saving is made in the cost of labor. "The sheaf loader is used by a large number of the leading farmers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and scores of them have testified to its meaning a saving of $20 to $25 a day in the cost of their harvesting operations, the machine often paying for itself in this saving in one season alone." STUDY OF EARTHQUAKES Earthquakes are extremely uncommon in the eastern and central sections of hte United States, and with the exception of one at New Madrid, Mo., in 1811, and one at Charleston, S.C., in 1887, none have occurred in those sections of the union in the historic period. But on the Pacific Coast, particularly in California, they are not uncommon. For some reason congress has refused to appropriate any money for the establishing and maintenance of a seismological observation station. Following the great California earthquake of April, 1906, a number of scientific men on the Pacific coast founded the Seismological Society of America, whose membership now extends over the whole country and beyond. Its Bulletin, recently launched, affords the seismologists of the country a medium for the interchange of ideas, the need of which has been strongly felt. The most remarkable feature of the situation of seismology in the United States, is that the science is practically unrecognized by the nat alike, and acting in the belief that more can be accomplished through education than by force we are sending a copy of this letter (so far as we are able to do so) to each nurseryman in the state, so that he may take such steps as may be necessary to rid his nursery of insect pests and plant diseases before his grounds are inspected by deputies from this office or other authorized inspectors. "As the law now stands, there is practically no difference between the treatment of pests already established in the state and those not so established. Both classes of pests are alike inimical to the horticultural interests, and both alike ought to be extirpated. In the matter of the enforcement of the law, the ultimate interests of both the grower and the nurseryman are the same. Under the law it is the duty of the state commissioner of horticulture, who is also the state quarantine officer, and the quarantine guardians, of whom there is one in each county, to declare and enforce a rigid quarantine on any infested orchard or nursery. "With the quarantine order in force against it, a nursery would be absolutely powerless to move any of its stock. The state commissioner of horticulture does not desire to be forced to bring about this condition in any nursery, but unless the infested nurseries are made clean, he will have no other course of action. "Trusting that we may obtain your hearty cooperation in our attempt to prevent the spread of injurious insects and plant diseases, we remain, yours very truly, "(Signed) A. J. Cook." HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR German Authority Declares Japan No Match for Uncle Sam Berlin, Feb. 29.—The overwhelming superiority of the American navy over the Japanese is proclaimed by Capt. L. Persius, one of the most capable and best-known of the retired naval officers writing on the German press, in an article just published in the Berlin Tageblatt. Capt. Persius's views show a complete conversion from those advanced until now by himself, Lieut. Count von Reventlow and the other German naval publicists, who for several years have been regularly predicting the coming war between the United States and Japan and the inevitable triumph of the Japanese fleet and army, Homer Lea's work, "The Valor of Ignorance," serving for them as a text-book.

Its Bulletin, recently launched, affords the seismologists of the country a medium for the interchange of ideas, the need of which has been strongly felt. The most remarkable feature of the situation of seismology in the United States, is that the science is practically unrecognized by the national and state governments. A few years ago the American association for the advancement of science, urged upon congress the plan of installing seismographs at certain of the more important stations of the United States weather bureau—an arrangement analogous to that existing in Europe. This bureau has long maintained a single seismograph—at its Washington headquarters—and was in a position to extend its seismological work at comparatively little expense. Although this plan was earnestly advocated by the chief of the bureau, Prof. Moore, it failed to obtain congressional sanction. Even the modest efforts of the bureau to enlarge its work in this field without the financial backing of congress was checked a few months ago by a decision of the comptroller of the treasury that no authority existed for such an undertaking on the part of the national weather service. There are several such stations in the United States, but chiefly in the Jesuit colleges and universities, one being in New Orleans at the Loyola university. In Europe they are maintained by the government, as also in Japan, where earthquakes are frequent and destructive. There is a regular professorship of seismology in the Japanese university of Tokio. Capt. Persius's views show a complete conversion from those advanced until now by himself, Lieut. Count von Reventlow and the other German naval publicists, who for several years have been regularly predicting the coming war between the United States and Japan and the inevitable triumph of the Japanese fleet and army, Homer Lea's work, "The Valor of Ignorance," serving for them as a text-book. Capt. Persius can now see no probability of a war before the opening of the Panama canal or at any appreciable date in the future, and asserts that the Japanese navy, far from being equal to that of the United States, is weaker than at the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese war. The then modern battleships are, he says, now obsolete. The ships captured from the Russians, rebuilt at a cost of over $30,000,000, have very slight fighting value, and the increment through new battleships is extraordinary small. Only the battleships Aki and Satsuma, completed with almost record-breaking slowness of construction in five years, can be considered modern ships, though these carry only four twelve-inch guns instead of the usual Dreadnaught armament, and it is extremely doubtful whether Japan's first two ships of the Dreadnaught class, the Settsu and Kawachi, will be finished in time to join the fleet this year. The Katori and Kashima, 16,000-ton battleships, completed in 1906, carry four twelve-inch guns each. A first class battleship-cruiser is under construction in England; another has recently been started in Japan. These, with small cruisers, destroyers and submarines, represent the total in- Attorneys for bonds pronounced the $200 high school bonds and grammar school bonds at Santa Ana, to have advised the suitor for the bonds not to The fatal defect point attorneys lies in their resolution calling notice of election contests should not have short, the resolution suance of bonds for the attorneys say is pose. That the bondjected was made by Ana on Saturday after R. Maurer, a representative Wm. R. Staats Co., visited District Attorneys showed him a letter firm by Attorneys Cens & Milliken. That that the bonds would issued. The defect w crease since the war with Russia. The attempt to construct battleships in Japan has proved, according to Capt. Persius, a failure, due to the deficiencies of the Japanese steel works and the lack of technically-trained workmen in the yards. In confirmation of this is cited the Japanese minister o marine, who, in a speech before parliament, admitted that the foreign built ships were superior to the Japanese built, and that the government steel works are not up to requirements. Comparing the Japanese and American fleets, he finds that Japan has only thirteen battleships, with a tonnage of 184,800, to oppose the thirty-one American battleships of 498,200 tons, including six Dreadnaughts, with six more American Dreadnaughts under construction. The financial weakness of Japan will, he holds, bar any extensive appropriations for naval purposes for years to come, and the United States needs no longer fear for its Pacific possessions. PROGRESSIVE WOMEN'S LEAGUE What the Ladies Are Doing And Thinking About The records show that 850,000 people from Europe were registered in New York during the past year. More than half of them were immigrants who came by steerage. What does this mean when the Panama canal opens the way for all these people to reach the shores of California? Will not the California ports then be live centers? And what about the inland districts of the Pacific seaboard? No time should be lost in preparing for this great influx of immigrants through whom we may hope shortly to reclaim the thousands of commercial acres of the most PLACENTIA Placentia's exhibit at the national orange show at San Bernardino won two firsts and two seconds. A. S. Bradford won second prize on plate display of Mediterranean Sweets and St. Michaels. Samuel Kraemer won first prize on the largest orange displayed, and Wm. Berkenstock on the largest grape fruit. Through some misunderstanding the Valencias were not brought before the judges, or they would certainly have brought first prize, as they were constantly complimented by expert growers, and our Valencias brought the highest offers from the big orange buyers. Next year Placentia will be at the show with a splendid showing of her superior citrus fruits prepared to draw the big prizes. On Thursday some fifteen automobiles went out with streaming pennants to help advertise Placentia, and 25,000 handsomely printed folders describing the district were gotten out by the chamber of commerce for the orange show. H. H. Hale, president of the Placentia chamber of commerce, said he had found the San Bernardino men are the kind that "do things." He spoke of the belated effort of Placentia this year in the way of an exhibit, and said they would do better next year. "We need the show, and I am going home and show Orange county where they must get in strong next year." CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED RAPE Swedish Woodchopper in Jail Without Bail Screams issuing from the room of his daughter, Miss Marjorie Rains, door work. Says the man from Cincinnati in a recent interview: "I have received letters from practically every large city in the country, and while it is impossible for me to answer all of them, I have responded to as many as I could, explaining that the movement was not so much for founding a particular institution as for recognition of the fact that because a girl happens to be single does not necessarily imply that she has lost any of the fine attributes that go to make perfect womanhood." Of course we are all sorry for the hardworked little factory girl who has to leave her couch on these cold mornings. and take her trembling way through snow and slush to perform her heartless task; but as a matter of fact she is not often sorry for herself. REDUCED TIRE PRICES A Decided Saving On Many Sizes Reduced tire prices have just been announced by the Michelin company. The new prices went into effect on Monday, February 19th. This announcement sets at rest the many rumors regarding price revision that have agitated the tire trade for some time. On inquiry among dealers it was learned that while several tire makers have recently offered special inducements to the trade. Michelin is the first to give tire users the benefit of a reduction. Michelin's new prices show a marked saving over previous quotations, the reduction on several of the larger sizes being as much as seven dollars per casing. On the smaller sizes the saving averages from seven to ten per cent. Ten years in San Quentin was the sentence given Lorenzo Martinez on Monday morning by Judge West. He was convicted last week of murder More than half of them were immigrants who came by steerage. What does this mean when the Panama canal opens the way for all these people to reach the shores of California? Will not the California ports then be live centers? And what about the inland districts of the Pacific seaboard? No time should be lost in preparing for this great influx of immigrants through whom we may hope shortly to reclaim the thousands of semi-arid acres of the west. When the woman's progressive league of California urges the interest of every woman in these problems, it does so, knowing that through their efforts in political and educational ways much of this preparatory work may be accomplished. There are but three short years before the opening of the canal. Remember the slogan—"California 1915." Prominent suffragists scout the idea that there can be enough foolish people in the state to make any move toward disfranchising the new woman voter. However, it is reported from authoritative sources that a persistent, although quiet, effort in the northern part of the state is gradually making headway with this movement. If this be true, women who have not registered, should remember that without proper registration, their vote is lost, and in case so absurd a situation should arise as to submitting the question of the disfranchising of women voters of California, every woman who has not registered, would have to bear, without protest, the stinging disgrace thus placed upon her. The antis are depending upon the apathy of women in the matter of registration. For this reason the woman's progressive league of California is making every effort to bring the facts of the anti movement before the women with the belief that a word to the wise is sufficient. We should remember that "California 1915" as it is pronounced by the league means the political and economical development of the state for all time, and women everywhere should apply their efforts to these things. First, in your own communities as they apply to the betterment of your schools, more careful business city administration, cleaner streets, better sanitary conditions, the extension of the library system all through the state, the development of parks and public highways, and all things that make for good times and a prosperous people. CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED RAPE Swedish Woodchopper in Jail Without Bail Screams issuing from the room of his daughter, Miss Marjorie Rains, shortly before midnight on Wednesday evening last, called her father, Jack Rains, a well-known West-side citizen, to her assistance in a hurry. Rains found John Cronvall, a Swedish woodchopper, who had been employed at the Raines ranch for some days past, attempting to commit a felony. The Swede was taken in hand by Raines who after chastising him, tied him with a rope and telephoned city officials. Officer Sackett responded, going to the ranch in an auto. He brought Cronvall to town and lodged him in jail at 1 o'clock on Thursday morning. Cronvall was given a hearing on Thursday and was held to answer to the superior court on a felony charge without bail. OUR BACHELOR GIRLS There is a person in Cincinnati who seems to imagine that it is his particular mission to come to the rescue of that particular branch of the race who are generally known nowadays as "bachelor girls", in other words, ladies who regard themselves competent to earn their own livelihood without subjecting themselves to the whims or caprices of the mere male members of the breed. There are thousands of such ladies in our modern communities, and the machinery of industry would be pretty thoroughly disorganized if there were not. The Cincinnati person thinks that they are claimants upon our sympathy; but they are not, as a rule, obsessed themselves with such an idea. On the contrary, they seem to be very well contented with their lot except when they can not find a vacant seat in the cars on a cold winter morning or evening. They are a rather gay and independent lot and there are not many of them who are willing to surrender their places to help mother with the housework. But the gentleman from Cincinnati, whose name is Henry Andre, takes a dif view of the situation. He evidently thinks that the single lady... Attorneys for bond buyers have pronounced the $200,000 polytechnic high school bonds and the $25,000 grammar school bonds recently issued at Santa Ana, to be invalid, and have advised the successful bidders for the bonds not to accept them. The fatal defect pointed out by the attorneys lies in the fact that the resolution calling the election and notice of election contained words that should not have been there. In short, the resolution calls for the issuance of bonds for a purpose that the attorneys say is an illegal purpose. That the bonds had been rejected was made known at Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon when H. R. Maurer, a representative of the Wm. R. Staats Co. of Los Angeles, visited District Attorney West, and showed him a letter written to the firm by Attorneys O'Melveny, Stevens & Milliken. That letter stated that the bonds would be invalid if issued. The defect was pointed out. Mr. Neff has shipped out since January 50,000 seions from his blight-resistant walnut trees. These seions have been shipped to all parts of California, from San Diego county, north and a number have been sent to Arizona, where efforts are being made to grow walnuts.
