CO-OPERATION IS INCREASING RAPIDLY NUMEROUS ASSOCIATIONS IN WESTERN STATES BEING ORGANIZED FOR PROTECTION SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS REGARDING THE WORLD'S WHEAT CROP Numerous co-operative associations, especially in the western United States, are appealing to the Department of Agriculture to have the Office of Markets make an investigation of their particular type of co-operative enterprise. The idea apparent in their requests is that the Department proposes to recommend the form of some particular organization for general adoption throughout the United States by producers 'co-operative organizations. The Department has no such plans in view, but is desirous of securing information concerning all co-operative undertakings, wherever they may be located and with whatever products they may deal. It is interested also in consumers' organizations and co-operative mercantile enterprises. At the request of the Department, the Civil Service Commission has recently held examinations for positions in the Office of Markets, including a specialist in co-operative organization. Sixty-four applicants satisfied the commission that they were entitled to consideration for the position. It will be sometime before the commission will be able to correct these papers and make certifications to the Department. RAINE IS IN BAD Raising Checks Issued by His Grandfather Lands Him in Jail Glenn L. Raine's escapades have made a good deal of trouble for him and his grandfather, J. B. Raine, and his grandfather has got all of it he can stand. Friday morning the aged man went to the court house and swore to a complaint charging his grandson with a felony. "I hate to do it," said the old man, "but there seems to be nothing else I can do. I have helped him out of trouble a number of times, and I guess he needs some other kind of treatment." Glenn L. Raine is 26 years old. His grandfather lives near Wintersburg, and is well known as the tile factory man. The old man went to the district attorney's office with five checks. One of these was selected by the office as the basis of the complaint, which charges that Glenn Raine on May 13 raised a $1 check signed by J. B. Raine from $10 and cashed it at R. G. Tashima's Jap store at Wintersburg. The check was drawn on the Home Savings Bank. "I have given him every chance in the world to make good," said the old man. "I am convinced now that he hasn't got it in him. It cost me $50 to get him out of a scrape in Los Angeles. When he was arrested not long ago for beating a board bill at Newport Beach, I paid him out of that." Each of the checks brought into the district attorney's office by J. R. Raine was originally a $1 check, and each one was raised to $10. Raine sent word of the matter to Sheriff Ruddock yesterday, and young Raine was arrested soon afterward by City Marshal Porter of Balboa. Glenn Raine is the son of Ed. Raine of West Orange. THREE PRECIOUS WILL ADDET INCREASED POPULATION CITY NEW POLLING FOR GENERAL EDUCATION NINETEEN NEW PRECIOUS BE ESTABLISHED FOR COUNTY This city will have three precincts for the general year as a result of incursion. Fullerton will have three precincts, and the total voting places in the county. In the readjustment in December, 1911, three precincts in this county will have four to fifty Phenomenal gents shown in a number of orange, Anaheim and Fulton new precincts. Pra Ana had been raised from 10. Olinda was cut from Brea. Tustin was given Other changes were made demands of the growing population. In checking over the November, 1912, County found that there were had cast more than 20 that election. Monday following communication of supervisors: "Gentlemen:—In section 1127 of the Poor Are hereby notified that precincts polled more each at the last precedence, to-wit: In Novem heim No. 1, Anaheim." At the request of the Department, the Civil Service Commission has recently held examinations for positions in the Office of Markets, including a specialist in co-operative organization. Sixty-four applicants satisfied the commission that they were entitled to consideration for the position. It will be sometime before the commission will be able to correct these papers and make certifications to the Department. After the specialist in co-operative organization has been selected and appointed, it is possible that this officer may, as opportunity arises, make personal observations as to the conduct and methods of some of the numerous associations in the United States to assist the Depratment in giving the most valuable information and advice to groups of persons desiring to effect organizations. "How much of the world's wheat crop is harvested each month of the year?" was asked recently of the Bureau of Statistics. To answer this question, estimates have been made based upon the average production in recent years and the usual progress of harvesting operations in the various countries of the world. These showed the following percentages: January, 5 per cent; February, 1 per cent; March, 3 per cent; April, 7 per cent; May, 4 per cent; June, 15 per cent; July, 34 per cent; August, 26 per cent; September, 2 per cent; October and November combined, less than 1 per cent; and December, 3 per cent. In the United States about 19 per cent of the crop is harvested in June, 46 per cent in July, and 35 per cent in August. From these estimates it would appear that almost no wheat is harvested in October and November, and that the world harvest season really begins in December, when operations start in Australia and South America, enlarge in January, and are practically finished in February. Operations begin in February in India, and increase in activity through March to April. In April operations begin in such countries as Persia, Asia Minor, and Mexico. The falling off in May is due to the nearness to completion of the Indian harvest, and the season's crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa to Southern Europe, where harvest does not become active until June. In June, July, and August about 75 per cent of the crop is harvested. The season progresses steadily northward during these months. By September harvest operations are nearly completed. Scotland, Northern Russia and Siberia, and Canada do a little harvesting in An COAL TRAFFIC OF SAN FRANCISCO Nearly Three-Fourths of a Million Tons Consumed in 1912 In San Francisco, as in other cities of the Pacific Coast, the use of petroleum for generating steam by railroads and manufacturers has largely supplanted that of coal, which is at present confined almost entirely to the consumption for domestic purposes. The total quantity of coal consumed in San Francisco and the neighboring cities on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay in 1912, was apparently considerably less than 500,000 short tons. The three railroads entering California, the Southern Pacific, the Western Pacific, and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, carried into the state in 1912 a total of 268,494 short tons, chiefly from New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Of that quantity, 45,184 tons went to San Francisco and 223,310 tons to other points in the state. The receipts by water at San Francisco amounted to 504,200 short tons, of which 136,741 short tons came from Eastern states, for use chiefly by the naval vessels of the United States in Pacific waters. The receipts by water in 1912 were 123,107 short tons less than in 1911, and this decrease was nearly altogether in the receipts from Australia and bore out the prediction, made in the Survey's report for 1911, that the quantity of coal shipped from that country in 1912 would not exceed 100,000 tons. Receipts of coal from Australia depend principally on the exports of wheat from California, the vessels carrying the wheat bringing the return cargoes of coal for ballast. Receipts of British Columbia coal decreased from 232,067 short tons in 1911 to 202,875 tons in 1912, and those from Washington fell off from 64,174 short tons to 55,808 tons. These decreases were offset by an increase of nearly 47,000 short tons in the coal from Eastern states. It is estimated that the total annual consumption of oil for fuel, including that used in the manufacture of gas, in California is between 50,000,000 and 55,000,000 barrels, equivalent to approximately 1,500,000 tons of coal, or about twice as much as the coal consumed at its originala $1 check,and each one was raised to $10. Raine sent word of the matter to Sheriff Ruddock yesterday,and young Raine was arrested soon afterward by City Marshal Porter of Balboa. Glenn Raine is the son of Ed. Raine of West Orange.

SAN LUIS OBISPO IN RAILROAD Its Water Front Being Pacific Coast Railway San Luis Obispo is tothe fact that much ohas been acquired bythe Railway CompanyandOilCompany,and it is itgoing to secureafrontage onthe harbor.

Now the railroad isbuild a second wharfwharf site fromthe M Persia, Asia Minor, and Mexico. The falling off in May is due to the nearness to completion of the Indian harvest, and the season's crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa to Southern Europe, where harvest does not become active until June. In June, July, and August about 75 per cent of the crop is harvested. The season progresses steadily northward during these months. By September harvest operations are nearly completed. Scotland, Northern Russia and Siberia, and Canada do a little harvesting in August. Practically no harvesting is done in October. If the world wheat crop be regarded as about 3,600,000,000 bushels, the estimates above would indicate that about 108 million bushels are harvested in December, 180 in January, 36 in February, 108 in March, 252 in April, 144 in May, 540 in June, 1,224 in July, 936 in August, 72 in September. Of course, the percentages and quantities will shift slightly from year to year, as the seasons are early or late and as production in a particular latitude is large or small. The above estimate, however, may be regarded as fairly typical. EMPLOYING LADY BUGS Anticipating heavy rains, when the hop aphis multiply rapidly, County Horticultural Commissioner Bloomer, of Sacramento, turned loose more than a million lady bugs in the hop fields of the county. He states that if the aphis, also known as hop lice, get a start, they would do great damage in the hop fields, but the lady bugs will clean them out. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fiscus were visiting in the hub Monday. ENEMY OF SCALE Insect Imported From West Indies Promises Relief to Citrus Growers An insect parasite that the State Horticultural Commission believes will prove effective against the "black scale," attacks California's $200,000,000 citrus fruit industry and certain of the deciduous fruits, has been imported from the West Indies. The parasite is said to attack the half-grown black scale. Until it was discovered recently, no scientist had ever been able to find an effective enemy of the "scale" after it had passed from the egg stage. The "black scale" is one of the most destructive pests with which citrus fruit growers have to deal. It has been difficult of control. The scale is found on pepper trees and other ornamental trees, and fumigation of an orchard for black scale often results in discouragement owing to the fact that it is impossible to kill all the pests on the ranch. THREE PRECINCTS WILL BE ADDED INCREASED POPULATION GIVES CITY NEW POLLING PLACES FOR GENERAL ELECTION NINETEEN NEW PRECINCTS WILL BE ESTABLISHED FOR ORANGE COUNTY This city will have three new precincts for the general election next year as a result of increase in population. Fullerton will have two new precincts, and the total number of new voting places in the county will be 19. In the readjustment that was made in December, 1911, the number of precincts in this county was raised from 44 to 59. Phenomenal growth had been shown in a number of precincts. Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton were given new precincts. Previously Santa Ana had been raised from 5 precincts to 10. Olinda was cut into Olinda and Brea. Tustin was given two precincts. Other changes were made to meet the demands of the growing county. In checking over the vote cast in November, 1912, County Clerk Williams found that there were 19 precincts that had cast more than 200 votes each in that election. Monday he prepared the following communication for the board of supervisors: "Gentlemen:—In accordance with Section 1127 of the Political Code, you are hereby notified that the following precincts polled more than 200 votes each at the last preceding general election, to-wit: In November, 1912, Anaheim No. 1, Anaheim No. 3, Anaheim" REMARKABLE DEPTH OF CALIFORNIA SOIL Humus Extends to a Depth of Twelve Feet in Some Parts California soil experts are making some very surprising, as well as gratifying discoveries as to the extent to which humus, and humus in combination with phosphoric acid enter into our soils. In Eastern states these two elements are usually found in the soil only at a depth of six or eight inches. It was long known that humus occurred in the upper three feet of California soils, which was considered very good. But more recent investigations have proven that humus and phosphoric acid in combination with humus, extend to the surprising depth of 12 feet in upland as well as low-land soil. Exhaustive examinations are made both of the alluvial soil of the Russian river valley, and the plains land of the Sacramento valley, and the results were virtually the same. The presence of so large an amount of available phosphoric acid in California soils plainly shows why our soils are so productive, and especially makes plain why the root systems of our plants and trees reach so deeply into the ground, providing other conditions are favorable. This shows why the California soil is so favorable to alfalfa and other deep rooting plants. With a favorable soil alfalfa will root to the depth of 13 feet. It also shows how the farmer may profit by deep plowing; for no matter how deep he may plow, his plow point will never reach beyond a good supply of rich and productive matter. RINGLING CIRCUS November, 1912, County Clerk Williams found that there were 19 precincts that had cast more than 200 votes each in that election. Monday he prepared the following communication for the board of supervisors: "Gentlemen:—In accordance with Section 1127 of the Political Code, you are hereby notified that the following precincts polled more than 200 votes each at the last preceding general election, to-wit: In November, 1912, Anaheim No. 1, Anaheim No. 3, Anaheim No. 4, Buena Park, Fullerton No. 1, Fullerton No. 3, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Olinda, Placentia, Santa Ana No. 2, Santa Ana No. 3, Santa Ana No. 4, Santa Ana No. 5, Santa Ana No. 6, Santa Ana No. 7, Santa Ana No. 8, Santa Ana No. 9, Santa Ana No. 10." The board of supervisors may conclude to cut many of the 19 precincts into two precincts each. From a political standpoint the division of precincts is interesting for the reason that each precinct will have a representative upon each of the county central committees. SAN LUIS OBISPO IN RAILROAD'S GRIP Its Water Front Being Acquired by the Pacific Coast Railway and Union Oil San Luis Obispo is just awakening to the fact that much of its water front has been acquired by the Pacific Coast Railway Company and by the Union Oil Company, and it is wondering how it is going to secure a portion of the frontage on the harbor. The situation is set forth in a letter from S. V. Wright, of San Luis Obispo to Congressman E. A. Hayes, who is urged to appeal to the War Department to give aid in reserving some of the docking sites for the public. Mr. Wright also wrote to the President and the Secretary of War on this subject. He says that the control of the harbor front has nearly all passed into the hands of private interests, and that the railroad and oil companies mentioned now control nearly all of the frontage available for use, excepting only the county wharf, which is only a street extended into the bay, and of which 1,390 feet is owned by the Marre estate, but, says Wright, the Union Oil Company has a pipe line and wharfing rights on the county wharf which virtually gives that corporation control of it. Now the railroad is preparing to build a second wharf and purchase a wharf site from the Marre estate. On This shows why the California soil is so favorable to alfalfa and other deep rooting plants. With a favorable soil alfalfa will root to the depth of 13 feet. It also shows how the farmer may profit by deep plowing; for no matter how deep he may plow, his plow point will never reach beyond a good supply of rich and productive matter. RINGLING CIRCUS Great Spectacle of "Joan of Arc" Added to Their Big Show Ringling Brothers' Circus and newly added $500,000 spectacle of "Joan of Arc," will exhibit in Santa Ana, Friday, September 12. The spectacle in itself is an attraction that should bring thousands of visitors from the surrounding country. It is beyond question the greatest production of its kind ever seen in America. The world's most skillful scenic artists, costumers, property-makers, stage managers and chorus directors were engaged to mount the production. A stage bigger than a hundred ordinary theaterers was built and made portable so that it can be conveyed from town to town and erected each morning in the main tent. Thus the circus proprietors have made it possible for those who live in contributory towns as well as in the large cities to see this magnificent wordless play with its cast of 1,200 characters, a ballet of 300 dancing girls, a grand opera chorus of 400 voices, 600 horses and a train load of special scenery, costumes, properties and mechanical devices for producing such stage effects as thunder, lightning, storms, fires, and the sound of battle. In the old market place of Rouen, France, there now stands a monument by which the French of today have sought to redeem their part in the execution of Joan of Arc, who on May 30, 1431, was burned to death on the false charge of heresy after having delivered her country from the English and having restored the crown to Charles VII. History records but the meager facts of this strange heroine of 18 years, who led the armies of France victorious through English invasion, and then, deserted by all, even the indolent monarch whom she preserved, died by the cruelest torture known with the name of the master upon her lips. Unsung in poetry, the name of this simple peasant girl has come down through the ages to be revered as that of a saint, and whose wonderful powers and whose bravery are verily believed to have been of divine inspiration. On the triumphant incidents, the victorious engagements, the final defeat Notice of Assessment No. 3. American Orr Concrete Pole Company, a corporation, with its principal place of business located in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the directors, held on the 9th day of August, 1913, an assessment of twenty-five cents (25c) per share was levied upon the capital stock of the corporation, payable immediately, in gold coin of the United States, to the secretary, at the office of the company.

Now the railroad is preparing to build a second wharf and purchase a wharf site from the Marre estate. On due consideration of the effects of this plan of the railroad, the Marre estate declined to sell a site, but the railroad is planning to build around the lands in question. Wright asks the government to step in and secure part of the harbor frontage. Congressman Hayes called on the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of Engineers, and the Law Officer of the War Department and laid the matter before them in succession. He was informed, and the officials were unanimous on the matter, that the government has no jurisdiction whatever over these lands. The Attorney General has expressed the same opinion in a case involving similar questions. It is suggested that the only, or at least the best course open to the people of San Luis Obispo, is to issue bonds and buy the lands still available for wharves, thereby insuring permanency of title in the public. Congressman Hayes says that he concurs in this opinion. FOR SALE—Several thousand Valencia and navel orange nursery stock. Nurseries at Placentia. O. H. Schumacher, On the triumphant incidents, the victorious engagements, the final defeat of the English armies, and the coronation of Charles VII, all achieved by the frail Maid of Orleans, has been founded the inspiring spectacle which gives Ringling Brothers' circus a new significance and makes an attraction such as the world in searching for amusement has never before found. The regular circus program is more than ever attractive. Its company of 375 foreign artists, its double menagerie and its new street parade will prove a great surprise to those who attend from this city. The event is one that should not be missed. As an international department store the United States is rapidly become the shopping center of the world, for in July the business done with other nations exceeded all records for any single month in the history of the nation. Exports were more than eleven million dollars greater than in the corresponding month of last year, while in the twelve months ending July 31, the goods sent abroad exceeded in value by more than $352,000,000 the merchandise and products sold to foreign buyers in the preceding twelve months.
