CONSERVE THE MAN ON FARM Among all the ideas that have been advanced about conservation, none seem to have included the most important of them all. The man himself is vastly more important and more worthy of conservation than any material thing he may have on the farm, or even the farm itself. Without him all else would be of no account. There are yet farmers who have an exalted idea of the value of muscle in farming operations and who pride themselves upon their early rising and long hours of work. Such men despise modern machinery and think its use indicates laziness. They get out of bed at 5 o'clock every morning, winter and summer, whether there is anything to do or not. They deprive themselves of opportunities for reading and self-culture because they can't keep awake after supper, and they wear out years sooner than they should. Such men were necessary in pioneer days, when both methods and machinery were imperfect, when there were more farmers than of other classes and their products in small demand and low priced. With the crude methods and machinery of early days long hours and great physical strength and endurance were necessary. A premium was placed upon this method of living and working, and he who dared to lie in bed till rested did so under PLACENTIA PICK-UPS The Fullerton Union High School will open September 23. Miss Laura Carlson is enjoying a couple of weeks at Laguna Beach. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Lee left Monday for a few days' visit at Camp Weesha. George B. Key left Wednesday morning for the Y. M. C. A. camp at Catalina. William Key has purchased a five-passenger touring car. It is a new model 32 Jackson. Mrs. Lorenz Jacobson and Miss Frieda Jacobson are spending the week at Newport. Mrs. Bridenstine and daughters, Ethel and Lena, of Holtville, are guests at the Pendleton home. Earl Ward, charged with burglarizing a Placentia garage, has pleaded not guilty, and September 6 has been set as the time for setting the case for trial. Chas. Osborne has returned from El Monte where he had charge of work for the California Vegetable Union. Packing tomatoes in the local packing house will begin this week. The Pentecostal Gospelites silently folded their tent last week and stole away to some other field of industry. They were in Placentia nearly two weeks, and drew quite a crowd, at times, of the curious. A high class Weber piano has been purchased for the Presbyterian church at Placentia, organization of which was recently completed. Active work is now going on for better organization and work on the church building will probably begin not later than the first of November. Services are being well attended and a good Sunday school meets every Sunday morning at 10 A.M. Services are held at 11 A.M. and 7:30 P.M. in the Placentia Bank hall. In an opinion hortoney General W questions asked by concerning the proposed Highway Commission for the proposed highway constructed under the issue, Attorney G that the law does not the main state hit the county seats to pass. The geographical highway is not speeched the statutes to parapaces according to Speaking of the cases, where the county seat of the people of Visalia of Tulare county main highway must seats, the Attorney "There is nothing makes it obligatorious those two places line of that main highway." With the approving Such men were necessary in pioneer days, when both methods and machinery were imperfect, when there were more farmers than of other classes and their products in small demand and low priced. With the crude methods and machinery of early days long hours and great physical strength and endurance were necessary. A premium was placed upon this method of living and working, and he who dared to lie in bed till rested did so under the penalty of being called lazy. Modern knowledge, conditions and machinery have removed the necessity for such ways of living, says the Kansas Farmer, and have taught the farmer that he is a business man and not a day laborer, and that he may and should use business methods and hours on the farm. The successful business man works hard and puts in more hours during the year than does the farmer, but he takes care of himself. His hours of rising are fixed by habit, so that he gets up when he is rested and when the day has begun. He could do nothing during the azotic hours of the very early morning, which are very profitably spent in resting. He gets to his office in time to meet other business men, and his hours are regulated by method. With the farmer the hours must be different, as he has a different work and his business is with nature more than with men; but he can still have system and method and prosper for it. Except in the emergencies of cropping he can and should observe such hours of labor as are demanded by his business and by his physical well being. He should study and adopt systematic methods and he should take care of himself. Only the healthfulness of his occupation has saved many a farmer from premature breakdown, and, even though saved from this, there can remain but little doubt that he wears out sooner than necessary. What can it profit a man to earn a whole section and so wear himself out that he cannot enjoy its fruits? And this applies with intense force to the farmer's wife. The first step in true economy and conservation should be to conserve the wife, then the man, and after them the fertility of the soil. Own the farm, boss it and run it. Don't let it own and enslave you. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE The average daily attendance in the elementary schools of the State for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, was 880,465 against 863,403 for the times, of the curious. A high class Weber plano has been purchased for the Presbyterian church at Placentia, organization of which was recently completed. Active work is now going on for better organization and work on the church building will probably begin not later than the first of November. Services are being well attended and a good Sunday school meets every Sunday morning at 10 A.M. Services are held at 11 A.M. and 7:30 P.M. in the Placentia Bank hall. NEW SUBDIVISION AT STANTON Hatch and Johnson Ranches Purchased by Townsite Company The Stanton City Improvement Co. has purchased the T. B. Hatch and the J. W. Johnson lands which are immediately adjacent to the north side of the company townsite property, having a frontage of 1,320 feet on Clair street and the same on Stanton avenue. This tract will be immediately subdivided and put on the market under a subdivision to be known as "Stanton Home Acres," and sold with water piped to each acre. Each of these lots will have 100 feet frontage and a depth of 20 feet, and are to be so arranged that ultimately each will cut into four regular 50 foot lots fronting on the extensions of Cedar, Rose, Flower and Stanton avenues. Street work, an irrigation system, and other improvements will be commenced as soon as surveys can be made. This big deal has held up developments contemplated by the townsite company for several weeks past, and the opening of such a subdivision will give Stanton an addition much needed. The demand for acre lots has been steadily growing all along the trolley lines leading out of Los Angeles, and this subdivision will have the advantage of being close to interurban transportation and is also right in the center of developments of this growing city of Stanton. The tract is within 700 feet of Cedar station on the Pacific Electric line on one side and the same distance from the postoffice bank corner on the other. Further details of the subdivision will be determined upon within a few days, and we understand the townsite company will put this tract on the market at a price which will insure a rapid sale.

TO STUDY DRY-FARMING Irrigation Association to Send Ten Delegates to Congress at Lethbridge The Western Canada Irrigation Association, at its session at Kelowna, B. C., last week listened to the discussion of dry-farming methods as applicable to irrigated lands by Dr. Forcier and Secretary John T. Burns of the Dry-Farming Congress, and the topic was thoroughly discussed. As a result it was the unanimous opinion that the conservation of moisture through modern tillage methods should be considered in all of its various phases, with a view to improving the products of the irrigated farm, and the association went on record by the adoption of the following resolutions: Whereas the study of water conservation through tillage methods is of interest and value to irrigation farmers, and, Whereas the people of our neighboring Province, Alberta, have assumed the most important work for Canada in the entertainment of the International Dry-Farming Congress, at the City of Lethbridge, October 19-26th, inclusive; be it hereby Resolved, by the Western Canada Irrigation Association in convention assembled, that we congratulate the people of Alberta upon undertaking an educational propaganda of such magnitude in behalf of Western Canada, and that the President of this Association be authorized to appoint 10 delegates at large to represent this association at the International Dry-Farming Congress, and to use his best endeavor to secure attendance of the same.

The board charter in shape in WEBB RENDERS OPINION UPON HIGHWAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS THE STATE ROADS NEED NOT TOUCH COUNTY SEATS TANGLE IN KINGS AND TULARE COUNTIES CALL FOR OPINION In an opinion handed down by Attorney General Webb in answer to questions asked by Governor Johnson concerning the powers of the State Highway Commission to select a route for the proposed highways to be constructed under the $18,000,000 bond issue, Attorney General Webb holds that the law does not contemplate that the main state highways shall touch the county seats through which they pass. The geographical route of the state highway is not specifically confined by the statutes to particular localities or places according to the opinion. Speaking of the Hanford and Visalia cases, where the people of Hanford, the county seat of Kings county, and the people of Visalia, the county seat of Tulare county, contend that the main highway must touch both county seats, the Attorney General said: “There is nothing in the act which makes it obligatory that either of those two places should be upon the line of that main highway.” With the approval of the State ad- DEATH OF MRS. WM. RENNER Mrs. William Renner died on Monday morning at 7 o'clock at her residence on South Los Angeles street, from heart failure, following a long illness of rheumatism. The funeral occurred yesterday morning at Alamitos cemetery. Mrs. Renner was born in Virgil City, Mo., in 1872 and came to this city with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Bartor, in 1890, and had resided here ever since. She married William E. Renner on July 26, 1904. She was 40 years of age, and is survived by her mother, two brothers and one sister and her husband and little daughter 7 years of age. “That careless Bixby has left his lawnmower out in the rain.” “That's just one of his lazy tricks.” “What do you mean?” “He wants to get it so rusty and squeaky that the neighbors won't let him cut the grass.” “Knowin’ when to quit is a mighty good thing,” said Uncle Eben, “but knowin’ when not to start something’ is still better.” PRITCHARD MAY BE ALIVE A telegram signed Abe Pritchard was received by Arthur Staley at Fullerton on Saturday, from Loving, N.M., asking him to send $100 by express to Pritchard at that place. An answer was sent stating that a ticket from New Mexico to Fullerton and $50 would be wired at once and for Pritchard to return home immediately. A description of Pritchard was telegraphed the railroad agent. He was notified, not to deliver the ticket or money unless the party answered Pritchard’s description. No further reply has been received from New Mexico. Pritchard was a well known resident of Fullerton for many years, being a bank director and manager of a fruit association. He also owned an orange grove. He disappeared from Fullerton in November of last year and has never been heard of and his friends fear he met with foul play, as he had over $600 in his pocket when last seen. He was engaged to a well known young woman of Fullerton. Speaking of the Hanford and Visalia cases, where the people of Hanford, the county seat of Kings county, and the people of Visalia, the county seat of Tulare county, contend that the main highway must touch both county seats, the Attorney General said: “There is nothing in the act which makes it obligatory that either of those two places should be upon the line of that main highway.” With the approval of the State advisory board to the department of engineering, the State Highways Committee after meeting with the advisory board, announce that it will call for bids on two contracts for portions of the State highway to be constructed under the $18,000,000 bond issue. The first work on the State highway in Sacramento county will be the construction of a highly-improved road from the Sylvian school house on the Auburn road, in Sacramento county, thence to Lincoln, Placer county. The road will have a cement base and the surface will be of bitumen. The other road will be in Merced county and will be constructed between the town of Arena and Merced City. The layout or route taken over, and for which bids will be sought later, starts at El Rancho Rincon at the Santa Barbara-Ventura line. It then follows the Rincon route. The State Highway Commission has indicated that the route which it will select for the state highway connecting the San Joaquin Valley with the Bay will run from the San Joaquin county line through the towns of Livermore and Haywards to the Oakland line. Another survey was ordered as follows in Marin county: Beginning at San Rafael and extending by way of San Anselmo, Rose, Larkspur and Corte Madera Hill to Alto. ASK PAVED ROAD TO PARK Citizens Favor Improved Highway to Scenic Spot in Canyon The Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association of Orange, backed by strong petitions signed by a large number of taxpayers, will make representations to the board of supervisors today with a view of inducing the supervisors to make provision for an improved road to the county park in the coming good roads bond issue. The movement to have this park road included, which originated immediately after the report of the highway commission was submitted to the supervisors, has taken a strong hold at Orange, and has found favor also in R.C.

Rowe, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, C. J. Sinsel, of Boise City, Idaho, and J. L. Dumas, of Pullman, Washington, have been selected as the official judges of exhibits at the California Apple Show, which is to be held at Watsonville from October 7th to 12th. These three judges officiated in a like capacity at last year's show and gave general satisfaction. Mr. Rowe is the editor of Fruit Belt, one of the leading fruit journals in the East; Mr. Sinsel is one of the leading growers and shippers of Idaho and Mr. Dumas is past president of the Washington State Agricultural Society and before retiring from active life was one of the leading fruit experts of the Northwest. Harry Perkins of San Francisco and San Bernardino is the general manager of the show. Mr. Perkins has been manager of the National Orange Show at San Bernardino for the past two years, and has been officially connected with such coast shows as the California State Fair, the Seattle Potlatch, the National Apple Exposition at Spokane and other shows. “Why am I gloomy?” demanded the undesirable suitor whom she had heartlessly ignored. “Isn’t it enough to make a man gloomy to be cut by the one he loves best?” “The idea!” exclaimed the heartless girl: “I didn’t even know strong petitions signed by a large number of taxpayers, will make representations to the board of supervisors today with a view of inducing the supervisors to make provision for an improved road to the county park in the coming good roads bond issue. The movement to have this park road included, which originated immediately after the report of the highway commission was submitted to the supervisors, has taken a strong hold at Orange, and has found favor also in other parts of the county, where it is desired to have good communication with the county park. A good petition has been gotten up in this city. Orange business men and others interested in good roads will appear before the supervisors this morning to urge the improvement of this road. A committee has been appointed by the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association to get prominent taxpayers to go to the court house today, and it is probable that a good sized delegation will be on hand. SANTA ANA'S NEW CHARTER Mayor Will Be Paid Salary of $1,800 Per Year The board of freeholders of Santa Ana are making progress in framing the charter for that city. They have fixed the mayor's salary at $1,800 and that of the four commissioners at $900 each. These officers will devote their whole time to the city. Salaries of the appointive officers will be left to the commissioners. The four commissioners and mayor will appoint the city clerk, attorney, assessor and tax collector and superintendent of streets. Provision is made for the appointment of the county assessor and county tax collector as city assessor and collector, and the offices of city engineer and street superintendent will be consolidated. The board expects to have the charter in shape in about three weeks. "Why am I gloomy?" demanded the undesirable suitor whom she had heartlessly ignored. "Isn't it enough to make a man gloomy to be cut by the one he loves best?" "The idea!" exclaimed the heartless girl; "I didn't even know that you shaved yourself."
