STATE ASKS AID FOR ITS NEW ROADS HIGHWAY COMMISSION REQUESTS COUNTIES TO PURCHASE BONDS UNDER NEW LAW WANTS SUPERVISORS TO INVEST SURPLUS COUNTY MONEYS FOR IMPROVEMENT Boards of Supervisors of various counties of California have been asked by the State Highway Commission to invest surplus county funds in state highway bonds, as permitted by laws passed at the recent session of the State Legislature. The appeal made by the commission to the County Supervisors reads as follows: "Gentlemen: The commission is doing everything within its power to promote the rapid sale of the State highway bonds voted by the people in 1910, in order to finance and complete as much as possible of the State highway system by 1915. 'All counties in California will profit by reason of the expositions and the growth of the State resulting therefrom, but the readiness with which a particular county may be reached and traveled will be an important factor in its obtaining a just share of the benefits to which it is entitled by reason of natural advantages. 'Consequently the counties of the State should be willing to make every effort to aid and expedite the permanent improvement of any of their main" JAPS INCORPORATE The Y. J. Orange Grove Company Organized For Buying Land The Y. J. Orange Grove Company is the first incorporation organized in Orange county for the purpose of defeating the provisions of the anti-alien land law. It was incorporated last week with T. Dobashi, of Yorba Linda, H. T. Kitara, of Newmark, and S. Yamada, of San Bernardino. Yorba Linda is the place where the Japanese company expects to operate. The company is incorporated for 50 years, and the corporation is authorized to "purchase, lease or otherwise acquire and to own and hold real estate and other properties." According to the article the company will engage in growing oranges, lemons and other fruits. The company is capitalized for $20,000, of which each of the incorporators has subscribed $100. The articles were drawn up by a firm of Los Angeles attorneys. An attorney stated that so far as he knows there is nothing in the anti-alien laws passed by the California legislature to prevent Japanese from owning and leasing land through incorporation, even after the anti-alien law goes into effect.

"All counties in California will profit by reason of the expositions and the growth of the State resulting therefrom, but the readiness with which a particular county may be reached and traveled will be an important factor in its obtaining a just share of the benefits to which it is entitled by reason of natural advantages. "Consequently the counties of the State should be willing to make every effort to aid and expedite the permanent improvement of any of their main highways before the important year of 1915. The counties have already afforded valuable assistance by pledging or furnishing free rights of way and bridges for the State highways. "However, the Commission desires to call attention to another method by which many of the counties will be able to render valuable co-operation toward the construction of the State highway system and at the same time benefit themselves—namely, by investing county money, by and through their respective Boards of Supervisors, in State highway bonds. "The Commission respectfully calls your attention to two statutes, copies of which accompany this communication, whereby your board is empowered to invest moneys in any "sinking fund" or any "surplus moneys" you may have in your county treasury in State highway bonds. "Chapter 343, Statutes 1911, page 582, a statute now in force, provides for the investment of moneys which you now have or may have in a "sinking fund" in said bonds. "Assembly bill 1534, or chapter 73, satutes 1913, passed by the last Legislature, will take effect August 10, 1913, and gives express authority to your board to invest any surplus money you may have in your county treasury in said bonds. "The Commission trusts that your board will give this matter earnest consideration and advise it at an early date as to your ability to purchase a substantial number of State highway bonds and the amount of county money you have available for that purpose."

WELL Tom Scott of Los Angeles Loses Balance and Tumbles Into Pit A man, supposed to be Tom Scott, of Los Angeles, was killed at Horse Shoe Bend in the Santa Ana Canyon Tuesday evening when he fell to the bottom of a 60-foot well. Gazing over the edge of the pit he lost his hold and hurled downward, crashing his life out against the piping far below. His body was later recovered in five feet of water, badly bruised and disfigured. Not much is known of the unfortunate man. He had been hanging about Anaheim and was recovering from the effects of a hard spree. The name he had previously given out was Tom Scott and his residence Los Angeles, where he said his wife was running a rooming house. Wishing to get to Corona he was offered a ride as far as Horse Shoe Bend by Mr. Rochester, pump man for the Anaheim Union Water Company, who takes care of the water company's plant in the Santa Ana Canyon. They arrived at the pumping plant about dark and the stranger was invited in to have supper with Rochester. About 8 o'clock while they were in the midst of the meal the pump outside stopped and Rochester went out to find the cause. He was followed shortly by Scott, who began to examine the machinery and the pit. It was then that he lost his footing and fell to his death. As soon as possible his body was brought to the surface and Wednesday morning it was taken to Fullerton, where Coroner Winbigler held his inquest, finding a verdict of death due to accident. The police of Los Angeles were notified and requested to verify the man's identity and notify his rela- The trade of the U.S. last fiscal year was any previous year.

B. Valla, commercial agent of the Southern Pacific, has just made a trip through Orange county and finds every part of the county in a prosperous condition. He says the average orange output from this county annually is 5,000 carloads and that the cold weather the first of the year will not cause a shortage in this county of more than 30 per cent. The net returns for the crop will run far above last season as the growers are receiving 50 per cent more than for the oranges marketed last season. Mr. Valla also reports that from this county there will be a normal crop of walnuts, 480 cars, Orange county being the heaviest shipper of walnuts in the world. He thinks that Rivera and Los Nietos will have from 65 to 70 per cent of an average walnut crop. He says that Orange county will have a normal crop of sugar beets this season, which is about 350,000 tons. Mr. Valla also reports in the county 80 per cent of a normal crop of lima beans. The average annual output is 400 cars. There are 17,000 acres of limas and 4,000 acres of black eye beans alone on the Irvine ranch, and heavy crops are also grown in La Habra Valley and other parts of this county. He declares Orange county was never in a more prosperous condition than it is today, with big crops and big returns for everything shipped out to the markets of the world. Every man declares he likes to work, but he can't prove it. BOARD MUST BUY BOOKS Attorney General Rules That Teachers Cannot Compel Pupils to Purchase An important opinion has just been rendered by the attorney general to the district attorney of Ventura county, touching the rights of children and school boards in the purchase of text books and school supplies. The attorney general holds that teachers and school boards have no right to require the purchase of anything whatever for school use by the children of the elementary schools. It is the duty of the State Board of Education to furnish all the text books that they consider necessary, at state expense; and it is the duty of the local boards to furnish necessary supplies at local expense. If anything further be desired by the schools, it must be furnished by the local boards from current funds if they are furnished at all. Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to cultivate the acquaintance of a chap who knows it all. Lots of women are so careless with money that they actually spend some of it for useful things.

CALIFORNIA FAIR BIGGEST EVER HELD EXHIBITS EXPECTED TO ECLIPSE ANYTHING EVER SEEN BEFORE AT SACRAMENTO MANY FEATURES NEVER PREVIOUSLY INTRODUCED BEING PREPARED With the California State Fair at Sacramento little more than a month away, the directors of the State Agricultural Society are sending out a statement to the effect that their earlier forecast, which predicted a fair bigger than any previous year, will be borne out to the letter. This will be the 60th annual fair and this fact in itself insures extra effort on the part of the fair management, and the exhibitors who contribute toward the success of the fair, to make it an exposition that will long be remembered in the history of state fairs. Although the premium lists were a little late this year in being distributed, the entries are being made in increased numbers. The largest stock and poultry raisers on the Pacific coast are sending in entries, many of which will show stock that is to be entered in the world's fairs at San Francisco and San Diego in 1915. The county exhibitors are making the State Fair a training school for the fairs at San Francisco and San Diego in 1915, so this year's fair should find something far better than usual. With a good list of free attractions, AVIATORS SHOULD FLY LIKE A FLY "Aviators should fly like a fly, not like a bird," declares an eminent French entomologist, Dr. Jousset de Bellesme. "The trouble is with aviators, and more especially with the makers of aeroplanes, they have copied the methods of birds when they should study the ways of the fly and other two-winged insects, for only by doing this will loss of life be minimized." Dr. de Bellesme explains that the two-winged flying insects have a balancing arrangement which is the same as all inventors seem to be seeking with so little success, only they call it a "stabilizer." "Stability is what is needed," says Dr. Bellesme, "and if we examine flying creatures we shall not find a single one that ever upsets. This is food for reflection, and makes us think that there may be some defect in the present construction of aeroplanes. The defect is the lack of good aerial equilibrium, which all flying animals possess. It would seem that the aviators from Icarus down, have all been hypnotized by bird flight and have endeavored to reproduce it. By reason of the peculiar conditions and the anatomical complexity of these creatures this is the worst model that could have been chosen, and the most unrealizable. “There are other flying creatures, such as insects, whose flight resembles closely that of an aeroplane. Flies and the like are classified as diptera because they have only two wings, but to make up for this they are furnished with a device called by naturalists the balancer, consisting of two small rigid rods ending in a sort of button. The numerous experiments that I have made with this organ have shown me that diptera deprived of their balancers do not lose their ability to fly, but..." little late this year in being distributed, the entries are being made in increased numbers. The largest stock and poultry raisers on the Pacific coast are sending in entries, many of which will show stock that is to be entered in the world's fairs at San Francisco and San Diego in 1915. The county exhibitors are making the State Fair a training school for the fairs at San Francisco and San Diego in 1915, so this year's fair should find something far better than usual. With a good list of free attractions, such as the $35,000 stake harness races, auto polo, driving horses, charlot racing, hippodrome and fancy riding, broncho busting, an interstate trap shoot with world's champion blue rock shots, nightly fireworks, a brass band contest, a high class horse show, and one or two other big features in course of preparation, the State Fair will be giving a week of entertainment such as has never before been provided for the people of California. The Western Pacific railroad has combined with the State Fair in offering prizes for the best corn grown in California. This state can raise corn that compares favorably with the famous corn belt states of the Middle West, and there is no reason why the farmers should not be encouraged to make an extensive showing of this product. The Western Pacific offers $50 for the best corn grown in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys as follows: $25 for the largest number of bushels per acre; $15 for the next best yield, and $10 for the best ten ears of corn. Director I. L. Borden, of the State Agricultural Society, has discovered a beautiful San Francisco girl who would like to sing five songs a day at the State Fair at Sacramento next month. He declines to reveal her identity now, but says she is the most beautiful songstress he has ever seen. HIGH WATER MARK FOR COUNTRY'S TRADE United States Sold More Products to Foreign Nations Last Year Than Even Before The trade of the United States in the last fiscal year was greater than in any previous year. Figures just compiled show that it was $4,275,000,000, which is greater by $421,000,000 than last year's record of exports and imports. The balance in favor of the country this year was $653,000,000. The exports exceeded those of 1912 by $261,500,000 while the imports increase. “There are other flying creatures, such as insects, whose flight resembles closely that of an aeroplane. Flies and the like are classified as diptera because they have only two wings, but to make up for this they are furnished with a device called by naturalists the balancer, consisting of two small rigid rods ending in a sort of button. The numerous experiments that I have made with this organ have shown me that diptera deprived of their balancers do not lose their ability to fly, but that they lose only the power of directing their flight, which becomes fatally inclined downward. "Why this result? The insect may be regarded as suspended on a line passing through the centers of action of its two wings. It may oscillate about this as about an axis, and its center of gravity must always be directly below, if there is to be good balance. The hymenoptera, such as bees or wasps, are able to shift this center of inflection of the abdomen and legs, but the diptera cannot do this; they therefore require the balancer, by whose use they are able to lessen the wing-stroke, as with a brake, and thus shift the axis of suspension, bringing about the same results in a different way. The writer has been able, by adding weights to the bodies of insects deprived of their balancers, to shift the center of gravity and thus restore their powers of steady flight. Aviators should study these facts, and constructors, instead of striving for fantastic speeds, would better occupy themselves with the aviator's safety. Work along these lines will undoubtedly do more for the safety of aviators and the advancement of aviation than anything else just at present, as it is stability—safety—above all things that is needed in aviation." HAD A GREAT GRAFT The superior judge in Butte county has rendered a decision declaring as illegal constable and justice fees for nearly $3,500. A justice and two constables at Chico seem to have been doing a thriving business since their offices were put on a fee basis. In one month the justice docketed 408 cases and charged up fees amounting to $1,284. Most of the cases were for vagrancy. When the justice was on a salary basis, he only had from 27 to 40 cases a month. The constables worked with him and a real official gold mine was being developed. The supervisors rejected a lot of the claims and the court upholds them on the ground that a conspiracy to loot the county existed on the part of the justices and constables. United States Sold More Products to Foreign Nations Last Year Than Even Before The trade of the United States in the last fiscal year was greater than in any previous year.

The exports exceeded those of 1912 by $261,500,000, while the imports increased by only $159,700,000. The greater gain in exports was in manufactures ready for consumption, for which class there was an increase of $105,000,000 over 1912. In manufacturing there was an increase of more than $60,000,000. The increase in foodstuffs was only a little more than $1,500,000. Most of the imports were from the United Kingdom, which furnished $296,000,000, while Germany came next with $189,000,000; next France with $137,000,000; Cuba with $126,600,000; Canada with $121,000,000; Brazil with $120,000,000 and Japan with $92,000,- Most of the exports went to the United Kingdom, which took goods worth $597,000,000; Canada, $415,000,- Germany, $332,000,000; France, $146,000,000; Netherlands, $126,600,000; and Italy, $76,600,000.

John McGill, living near Enterprise in Butte county, has 300 apple trees, 100 of which are 30 years old and 200 are three years old. He has realized as many as 730 boxes of winter apples in a single season, that sold at $1.25 per box. A single tree yielded 60 boxes that sold for $1.25 a box. Heretofore, he has sprayed twice a year, but proposes to spray three times hereafter. It is thought that $75 worth of apples from a single tree in a single year is a record-breaker for the state.
