KETTNER MAY BE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR WASHINGTON FILLED WITH BEVY OF LAME DUCKS WHO WANT TO BE SENATOR MANY ASPIRANTS FOR THESE OFFICES DOING BUSINESS AT WASHINGTON That there will be no dearth of candidates for the United States senatorship under the direct election law in California next summer is made patent by the fact that at the present moment there are in Washington no less than six men who are making sheep's eyes at the job. Washington also houses one and perhaps three candidates for the governorship. Here is the senatorial timber: Former Congressman J. C. Needham, of Modesto, Republican; Congressman E. A. Hayes, of San Jose, Republican; Congressman John Knowland, of Alameda, Republican; Congressman John E. Raker, of Modoc, Democrat; Congressman William Kent, of Marion, Independent, and Theodore A. Bell, Democrat, of Napa and San Francisco. Friends of Congressman William Kettner of San Diego are telling him that he is the man to take Governor Johnson's measure next year, and he is at least in a listening attitude. Kettner has a state-wide acquaintance in fraternal circles and is a good mixer. Raker or Bell may conclude to take a shy at the governorship if conditions nlans on the Senatorial torp. He would like to succeed Senator Perkins, but his grilling fight in his home district last year has made him hesitate about spreading his opinions. Knowland claims to have gone Governor Johnson one better by "kicking the Southern Pacific out of the Panama Canal" and he feels that this might be a good slogan in a Senatorial campaign. Congressman Raker would like to be either Senator or Governor, but the enticement of the 10,000 majority he rolled up in his district last year may lead him to stick to his Congressional billet rather than take chances in a state-wide campaign. Recently a statement emanated from his office to the effect that he did not have either Senatorial or Gubernatorial aspirations, but it is understood that this is subject to change at short notice. In addition to all these candidates there is at present in Washington another good bit of California political timber in M. E. Tarpey, who is here fighting the Pomerene amendment affecting the California grape growers. CHILDREN MAY BE EXEMPT FROM SCHOOL New Law Makes Provision For Those Forced to Work For Living No children in the State of California will be forced to go to school if they have no shoes to wear, no food in their stomachs and not sufficient clothes to keep them warm. No longer will a child be prevented from working if his father has deserted his mother. Provisions applicable to these conditions were contained in the new child labor law, which is now in effect.

Bell, Democrat, of Napa and San Francisco. Friends of Congressman William Kettner of San Diego are telling him that he is the man to take Governor Johnson's measure next year, and he is at least in a listening attitude. Kettner has a state-wide acquaintance in fraternal circles and is a good mixer. Raker or Bell may conclude to take a shy at the governorship if conditions are ripe. Kent Favors Heney Congressman Kent is inclined to look with favor on the candidacy of his friend, Frank Heney, but if Heney concludes not to make the race, or if the conditions do not look right for him, Kent may jump into the field as an independent candidate. Congressman Needham expects to see a division of the radical forces of the State between the Democrats and the Johnson cohorts, and his friends are telling him that, under these conditions, there would be an excellent chance for a moderately stand-pat Republican. If Needham runs he will have the backing of a large number of anti-machine Republicans in the North who do not sympathize with the Johnson-Bull Moose element, and in the South he would have the friendship of the citrus fruit interests. At present his friends are studying the situation and Needham is keeping himself in a receptive mood. Hayes Is Receptive The most receptive of all the California aspirants is Congressman Hayes. He has recently been West taking a look at the political horizon and is eager to get into the Senatorial fight. Knowland is the shyest of the Califor- "How Did The Bird Know that"—To have too much of the good things of life makes us uncomfortable—even sunshine. New Law Makes Provision For Those Forced to Work For Living No children in the State of California will be forced to go to school if they have no shoes to wear, no food in their stomachs and not sufficient clothes to keep them warm. No longer will a child be prevented from working if his father has deserted his mother. Provisions applicable to these conditions were contained in the new child labor law, which is now in effect. August 31, 1912, E. J. Lickley, supervisor of truancy of the Los Angeles city schools, in a public statement, called attention to serious defects in the child labor law and as a result it was corrected at the last session of the legislature. According to Supervisor Lickley, California now has the best child labor law in the United States. Several new provisions were inserted in the law. Among its provisions are: No child under 18 years of age may work longer than 8 hours a day. All children under 16 years of age must get a work permit from the office of the supervisor of truancy; in Los Angeles this office is at 711 Security building. Children from 12 to 15 years of age may get a work permit from the supervisor if the father has deserted the mother or if there is no other means of earning a livelihood for the family. All children, in order to get work permits, must have graduated from the eighth grade of grammar school or else attend night school. Employers of children under 18 years of age shall keep posted in a conspicuous place in every room where minors are employed, a written or printed notice stating the hours of work per day for each day of the week required of such minors. Work permits must be kept on file by employers for inspection. A fine of not less than $50, nor more than $200 and imprisonment for not more than 60 days is provided for violation of the law.

CITADEL OF LOVE IS COUNTY SEAT Love Lorn Couples Beat It Thither to Procure Gobs of Domestic Felicity Los Angeles divorcees are romantically inclined in their subsequent matrimonial experiments, according to figures given out recently by State Statistician Leslie. A large percentage, both of divorced brides and bridegrooms, are married in what he terms the "Citadel of Love"—Santa Ana. The other Gretna Green of California is San Rafael, across the bay from San Francisco, and this is designated as "Love's Haven." "The gay divorcee, even more than the lovelorn maid, keeps tryst with Cupid in the secrecy of Santa Ana or San Rafael," reads one sentence from the Statistician's report. The divorced grooms married in Orange county are 11.2 per cent of the total number, while in Los Angeles they are 7.1. The divorced brides are 14.5 per cent in Orange county, compared to 8.2 per cent in Los Angeles. Santa Ana has nearly three times as many marriages as Los Angeles in proportion to the population. The explanation, says the report, is runaway and romantic marriages. The rate in Orange county is 34.2 for every 1,000 population, compared to 12.9 in Los Angeles. A prisoner in Maine released at the end of 34 years said he had spent the time in trying to be useful and that such a life could not be a failure. This philosopher ought to do well now that he is at large. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Inspecting Beet Dumps George McPhee, who on Monday began his duties as county sealer of weights and measures, has been making a round of the sugar beet dumps of the county. He has visited a number of them, and has still others to visit. Each beet dump is provided with huge scales upon which the wagons loaded with sugar beets are weighed before they are hauled on top of the dump and the loads turned into the cars. Narrow Escape Her first plunge into the new athletic club swimming pool at Santa Ana yesterday afternoon almost proved to be the last for Miss Norma Wingood, a young lady who, with a party of girls, went bathing in the new plunge. Miss Wingood went beyond her depth in six feet of water and sank. Twice and three times she went down before her plight was discovered by a pool attendant, who drew her from the water unconscious. Her frightened companions were unable to render assistance. The girl was revived within a short time and taken to her home, very weak from her trying experience. Orange County's Celery Planting of celery in the lowlands of Orange county is now almost completed, and growers report that they have excellent prospects for a good crop, so far as they can determine at this time. G. W. Moore, manager of the Celery Growers' Association, estimates that the total acreage in this county planted to celery in 1,500, of which about 900 acres are in the association. The acreage is about the same as last year. Prices last year were excellent. There is little to go on now by which prices for the coming season can be estimated. It is too early north of Fullerton. The boy and his mother arrived from Ventura about five days ago and had been visiting at the ranch of John Akers. Late in the afternoon a number of boys in the neighborhood went to the reservoir to go in swimming. At the point where the boy was drowned the water was about six feet deep. The boy cried for help, and two of his companions tried to help him. One of the boys got hold of the sinking lad, but was himself pulled down and had a struggle to save himself. The reservoir is a small one, used to store water for irrigation of Williams' ranch, and there was no great difficulty in recovering the body of the boy. All efforts to revive him failed. Coroner Winbigler held an inquest Monday morning. The boy's father, George L. Willard, of Simi, Ventura county, was present. The testimony of the three boys who were with the boy was that they were in the water first. George told them he guessed he could swim as well as they. He jumped in while the others were on the bank, and almost immediately he called for help. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GREATEST OF ALL Anaheim Boy Writes the News to His Old Home Back East Following is a letter written by Luther Strain to the News, printed at Millsap, Texas, relative to his impressions of Anaheim and Southern California. Luther is a clerk in the Anaheim postoffice: "Something more than two years ago I left Millsap (the place where I was born and raised) to visit California. I stayed seven months and went home, but only stayed in Texas five months School Starts Before your examined, as much account of eye t It is your Bring them yourself safe in HUNDREDS OF B.

Cream pitchers should occasionally be soaked in strong soda water or they grow rancid. The secret of cooking game is constant basting. It should be underdone and full of gravy. The odor and taste of onion can be removed from silver by rubbing it with a slice of lemon. Grease the upper inside edge of the pan in which chocolate is being made and it will not boil over.

G. W. Moore, manager of the Celery Growers' Association, estimates that the total acreage in this county planted to celery in 1,500, of which about 900 acres are in the association. The acreage is about the same as last year. Prices last year were excellent. There is little to go on now by which prices for the coming season can be estimated. It is too early to tell how the eastern crop will affect the California crop, which will be about the same as last year. Perry Gets In Bad Ray W. Perry went the downward path rapidly. It was not very long ago that he was a trusted employee in the oil wells at Olinda. The only serious charge brought against him in this county was that of forgery. He is charged with having forged the name of Allen Craig, an oil lease superintendent of Olinda, to a $50 check passed by him at a Newport Beach saloon on November 18, 1912. The check was accepted by J. W. Walls. After passing the check, Perry left the county. His wife sued him for divorce. He was located in the Fresno county jail, where he was serving a sentence, and was brought back here to answer to the felony charge. His preliminary hearing was held before Justice Shirley Thursday. Perry was represented by Attorney J. C. Burke, and made no defense. He was held to answer, his bond being fixed at $1,000. Heavy Tomato Crop The acreage in tomatoes this season in the Fullerton district is 1,200, about the same as last year. The season will open September 15, and two or three companies will ship from this part of the county. The California Vegetable Union, which handles a large part of the Fullerton crop, is getting its packing houses in Fullerton and Placentia in readiness for moving the new crop. The annual tomato shipments from the Fullerton district average from 175 to 250 carloads each season, the bulk of the crop going to the eastern markets. W. H. Allen, of 339 East Commonwealth avenue, has a beefsteak tomato vine ten feet in height, one of the largest and heaviest producing vines ever seen in the county. July 24, 124 days after the vine was planted, large, ripe tomatoes were picked and it is producing right along. Unless the vine should be nipped by frost Mr. Allen says he can pick tomatoes from this vine any day in the year. He reports that four tomatoes from another vine of the same variety weighed two pounds. Anaheim Boy Writes the News to His Old Home Back East Following is a letter written by Luther Strain to the News, printed at Millsap, Texas, relative to his impressions of Anaheim and Southern California. Luther is a clerk in the Anaheim postoffice: "Something more than two years ago I left Millsap (the place where I was born and raised) to visit California. I stayed seven months and went home, but only stayed in Texas five months that time till I was on my way back to California, the state which I think now the greatest of them all (I mean Southern California). "Since here I've been engaged in many kinds of labor, the sugar factory being the most interesting to a country guy like myself. Spent about nine months of my time with Anaheim sugar company. Was fairly well paid from the beginning. Started to work at $72 per month and was raised to $90 in a few months. But I wouldn't advise a boy to leave a good home, like I enjoyed, to come to California during the winter season; work is scarce and board is high. If a fellow is economical he can save enough during the summer to pay his board all winter, but he will have to begin all over again in the spring. "Will tell you something of the country and this little town where I am staying. People tell me that 20 years ago this country was a desert, and until lately nobody knew water could be found so plentifully. At a depth of 200 feet a well 12 inches in diameter will furnish 2,000 gallons per minute—but it takes lots of motor power. "The 2, 5, 10, 20 and 40-acre patches are called ranches. No farmers in this country. A farmer here is a rancher, no matter if he raises chickens, potatoes, peppers, beans, tomatoes or any farm product, he is a rancher. Many people are engaged in raising oranges, others make the English walnut pay well. Most all belong to the association and have no trouble disposing of what they raise for market. Tomatoes sell for $8 per ton and the land pays well at that price. Sugar beets are raised on land that will grow nothing more profitable. About 12 tons of beets is the average crop for one acre of ground and the sugar company at this place has 14,000 acres contracted for their campaign which will start August 5 and last till December 1. They expect to run their machinery 120 days and make 200,000 bags of sugar—of 100 pounds each. Anaheim is a German town of about 5,000 inhabitants. It is near the Santa Ana river in Orange county." the crop going to the eastern markets. W. H.

He reports that four tomatoes from another vine of the same variety weighed two pounds. Pioneer Celebrates Monday was the 90th birthday of J. W. Towner, Orange county's first superior judge, was celebrated by a dinner given to friends and relatives by the venerable jurist. Judge Towner is counted as one of the county's most prominent citizens. His life has been useful as well as long, and his brain is as clear and vigorous today as it ever was. While captain of Co. F, Ninth Iowa Infantry, at the battle of Pea Ridge, Towner was wounded, losing the sight of one eye. With his remaining eye he today continues his studies of foreign languages, including Greek, French and German, which he undertook years ago as a pastime and in which he has become proficient. He came to Santa Ana in 1882, and when the county was formed in 1889 he was elected superior judge, which office he held until 1897. Judge Towner has one daughter living, several grandchildren and two great grandchildren. About three years ago Judge Towner published a book, "The Genealogy of the Towner Family." Drowned In Reservoir Sunday afternoon about sundown George Willard, aged 10, of Ventura, was drowned in a reservoir on the ranch of H. L. Williams, four miles well at that price. Sugar beets are raised on land that will grow nothing more profitable. About 12 tons of beets is the average crop for one acre of ground and the sugar company at this place has 14,000 acres contracted for their campaign which will start August 5 and last till December 1. They expect to run their machinery 120 days and make 200,000 bags of sugar—of 100 pounds each. Anaheim is a German town of about 5,000 inhabitants. It is near the Santa Ana river in Orange county. It has two railroads, four banks, six automobile shops or garages, many stores and bakeries, one sugar factory which has a capacity of 2,000 bags of sugar per day and slices about 1,000 tons of beets in 24 hours.
