RIGHT MAN FOR IMPORTANT JOB R. P. Mitchell, County Superintendent of Schools, Who Should be Retained in Office WALTER SCOTT SHOT BY Son of O. H.

R. P. Mitchell, County Superintendent of Schools, Who Should be Retained in Office There is little probability that County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell is in danger of defeat at the coming election, but should such a thing occur the mistake will be felt in every school district in the county. During his seven years' incumbency of the office Mr. Mitchell has proven himself so capable and so thoroughly up-to-date in his management of the school system that his retirement by the getters would be a slap at every one of the 8,000 pupils in our schools. What his opponent would do if elected is an unknown quantity; what Mr. Mitchell has accomplished is familiar to every person who is interested in schools. During his incumbency of the office the daily attendance in the grammar schools has increased from 4,322 to 6,488, and in the high schools from 587 to 1,409. The number of teachers has been increased in the grammar schools from 151 to 212, and in the high schools from 43 to 92. The property value of the grammar schools has risen from $441,000 to $846,000, of the high schools from $164,000 to $863,000. One million dollars in bonds have been voted for school improvements during the past seven years and Mr. Mitchell abetted and stimulated every move in this direction. Mr. Mitchell is the most popular superintendent with the pupils the county ever had. He is hand and glove with them in their desires and necessities and is always working for their betterment. When he assumed control Orange county's system was very mediocre, but he has lifted it into the foremost rank in the short space of seven years. He is up-to-date and believes there is nothing too good for the rising generation of this county. It would be a crime against the children of retiree him at this time. HELPING BICILY The last Dally Consular Repost, issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, gives the following instructive paragraph regarding the effect of the democratic tariff on the lemon industry in the district of Catania, Italy: "An abundant crop in Sicily, a diminished yield in the United States and a reduced tariff in the last quarter of 1913, added to make 1913 a banner year in the exports of this product to the United States. The total shipment of lemons to the United States during 1913, as invoiced at the Catania consulate, were 476,712 boxes, valued at $1,447,514, as compared with 117,320 boxes, valued at $254,332 for 1912. The value of lemons and other citrus fruits sent to the United States in 1913 formed more than a third of the total declared exports from the district." The territory embraced in this report is comparatively small, taking in only the southwestern extremity of the Italian Peninsula and the eastern coast. TAKE-IT-BACK-DAY Down in Oklahoma they have established what is designated as a "Take-it-back-day." It is fixed on a date to be designated by the mayor and is expected to be an annual festival—a red letter day in the community. This is the festival; once a year the mayor announces a day upon which all the people of the city are invited to get together in a great family picnic. All who during the year had any disputes and disagreed and come to be unfriendly are asked to meet and "make up;" all who have grouches or grudges are urged to come and state their cases, have it out, settle the matter, shake hands all around, look pleasant again, and join in the frolie. They establish a clearing house for payment of debts, or asknowledgement of honest debts by those who still are unable to pay, to show that they remember, so that all may start the year with accounts squared. The purpose is neighborliness, and such is the result.

The value of lemons and other citrus fruits sent to the United States in 1913 formed more than a third of the total declared exports from the district. The territory embraced in this report is comparatively small, taking in only the southwestern extremity of the Italian Peninsula and the eastern half of the island of Sicily. If a district containing only a little more than 10,000 square miles can show such an increase in citrus exports during a single quarter under the new policy, what sort of competition must our home growers expect from the entire citrus bearing belt of Europe when free trade is thoroughly established? JEROME BROS. WIN By a decision given Saturday morning by Judge Thomas, William C. and Ben W. Jerome get judgment of $1,950 against the Massachusetts Bonding & Insurance Co. Four points were raised in the case, and in each one Judge Thomas ruled with Jerome Bros., and their attorneys, Williams & Rutan. The defendant was represented by Kemp, Mitchell & Silberberg of Los Angeles. Jerome Bros. sued to compel the bonding company to stand a judgment of $1,950 entered against them in favor of Sid Smithwick, who had his leg broken by the kick of a mule while Smithwick was working for the Jeromes, all of whose employees were insured in the Massachusetts company. The company refused to make any settlement. At one time Smithwick offered to settle for $1,200, but the bonding company would not pay it. Under Judge Thomas' decision it must pay $1,950, interest and costs. Frank Buster, who has been employed recently in a warehouse at El Toro, was arrested in Los Angeles on a warrant issued by Justice Cox. Buster is charged with a serious crime against a 14-year-old girl. Constable Heard, who knew Buster, got the warrant at 10 o'clock, went to Los Angeles and by 2 o'clock had him in jail. F.C.Rimpau went over to Fullerton Saturday and purchased a residence lot of the Fullerton Realty Company, paying $500 therefor. Marshal French, of Fullerton, was called by phone message from E.S. Richman's residence Saturday to go out and look after a feeble old woman, apparently out of her right mind, who had stopped at the Richman place, but left before the marshal arrived there. He was unable to locate the wanderer, who disappeared in the hills to the northwest of town. The woman is said to have been employed as a cook at an oil well camp, and the hot temperature seems to have affected her when she undertook to walk into town. T.H.

H. Schumacher Injured by Accidental Discharge of Weapon Walter Schumacher, 20-year-old son of Constable O. H. Schumacher of Placentia was rushed to Anaheim Sunday for medical aid. He was suffering from a badly lacerated arm the result of the accidental discharge of his shot gun. Schumacher, in company with Frank Annin and Andrew Moody, was hunting Sunday north of the county park. While riding in an automobile his gun slipped and fell. The hammer struck something, the gun was discharged and the load torc through the young man's arm above the elbow tearing the flesh but fortunately missed the bone. He was rushed to Anaheim by his companions, the boys breaking all speed records. The wound was dressed, and the physicians think no permanent injury will result from the wound. BUENA PARK NOTES The monthly meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce held in Masonic hall last Wednesday evening was an immense success in every respect. One hundred and sixty-seven guests sat down to the exquisitely appointed table prepared to enjoy the feast prepared and placed before them. Mrs. Nettle Robeson, chairman of the committee of arrangements, is a born artist, and carried out the orange color scheme in a most charming manner. There were orange plate runners in the center of the table, orange colored napkins, orange shape and colored menu cards, orangeade to drink, and the elegant orange ice, ice cream was served in orange shells. The 20 or more ladies assisting were in white with orange colored jackets and belts. Among the good things served was half a spring chicken to each guest with all the accompaniments. One of the most pleasurable legislation declared His Principles Candidate For Governor Defines His Attitude on Public Questions "I believe in and stand for practical progress." "I am opposed to the kind theoretical government which in the name of progress has in four years added $24,933,-000 to the burden of the California taxpayer." "I believe in and stand for a government of laws." "I am opposed to government by commission and the delegation of the peoples' right to rule themselves to any political autocrat." "I am opposed to class government, and the demagogue who would array class against class." "I believe in a republican form of government and governmental sanity as opposed to pure democracy and governmental chaos." "I am opposed to every form of freak legislation designed to catch unthinking votes and inevitably resulting in retarding and preventing commercial, industrial and social development." "I believe that the interests of labor and capital are common, and insist that any legislation harmful to the farmer and producer must be harmful to the men and women who work, and a clog upon the progress of the state." "I believe in the principle of the eight-hour day and that it should be enforced wherever its enforcement will benefit the people and industries affected by it." "I am opposed to the universal eight-hour law proposed by initiative petition, because it will injure the men and women who work, and its enforcement would virtually wipe out the horticultural, viticultural and agricultural interests of California, already burdened to the breaking point with the penalties of freak legislation enacted." There were orange plate runners in the center of the table, orange colored napkins, orange shape and colored menu cards, orangeade to drink, and the elegant orange ice, ice cream was served in orange shells. The 20 or more ladies assisting were in white with orange colored jackets and belts. Among the good things served was half a spring chicken to each guest with all the accompaniments. One of the most pleasing features of the affair was the picture made by the ladies who served. They stood grouped at the head of the hall as the guests entered and when they were seated sang "I Love You, California," as they enjoyed their clam cocktail. An amusing feature was the fact that a large majority of the gentlemen forgot their cocktails as they were so absorbed in the ladies and their beautiful song. Taken all in all it was a grand success and reflected much credit on the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce who were very fortunate in pursuing Mrs. Robeson to assist them. George Trapp, one of the successful ranchmen of this locality, furnished all of the splendid fruit adorning the tables at the banquet from his orchard. A party of Mexicans passed through the Park shouting and cursing last Thursday afternoon in an old trap containing a barrel of beer. When they reached the little park north of town they got into a fight and one had his throat cut from ear to ear. The wounded man was taken to the Fullerton hospital and his assailant escaped. Mr. and Mrs. George Warren and Mr. and Mrs. George Thomas are enjoying an outing among the mountains. Mrs. Dr. Hasson's evening Bible study class has grown from four in number to twenty-four. Mrs. Hasson is teaching the morning Bible class in Mrs. Allen's absence, hence has changed her Bible study class to the evening. T. H.

"I believe in and have always stood for party and governmental cleanliness. I have always opposed and always will oppose boss and gang rule under whatever name it may be sought to fasten them upon the people. "I am a republican, because through the republican party the American people have accomplished every substantial reform, governmental, industrial and social. "I am fighting for the rehabilitation of the republican party, and its restoration to the places of responsibility in the state and nation, because the latest attempt to found a new political party upon personal ambition and self-seeking has again resulted in minority government and again brought us commercial and civic disaster." "I seek the republican nomination for governor of California. I ask for it, because I believe I can serve the people of this state. "I ask only the people for it, and nominated and elected, I will be responsive to the people, and to the people only." "I represent no clique, no class. I am no man's man. I wear no man's collar." R. B. Moore and wife left last Thursday for Atlantic, Georgia.
