WORMLESS FRUIT IS OBJECT OF GROWERS CALIFORNIA APPLE MEN STRIVING FOR PERFECTION IN PRODUCT OF ORCHARD SOME EXCELLENT SCORES EXPECTED IN SAN FRANCISCO'S SHOW IN OCTOBER The California Apple Show will be wormless. If it isn't wormless when it starts, it'll be wormless when it ends. Six days will be given over to a great indoor worm hunt. Those dreaded little creatures that so long have made apple eating in the dark a pastime avoided by thoughtful people are going to be hunted without mercy. Their homes are going to be broken open and carted away. No worm will escape. The orange groves of California are famous for their seedless oranges and Watsonville wants to make the apple orchards of California famous for their wormless apples. Five years ago Watsonville began its crusade against the worm, and established for its apple show a system of judging which has been adopted all over the country. One of the rules called upon the judges to deduct 40 points for every wormy apple and the same rule instructed the judges to cut open ten boxes of apples, selected at random, from every carload lot, which means that the judges will have to cut open 1,400 apples out of every carload. The highest possible score is 1,000 points and when it is known that 998 points were scored by the carload that won the sweepstakes at last year's show the story is told of the success of Watsonville's fight against worms. So successful has the crusade been that California now produces apples that are free from worms than the apples grown by any other community tendance in the high schools was 1409, and increase of 236 over the previous year. In the elementary schools the average was 6,488, an increase of 586. GARDEN GROVE IS PROSPEROUS Big Celebration Given Saturday by Our Enterprising Neighbor One of the biggest entertainments pulled off in Orange county in years was the prosperity celebration at Garden Grove Saturday. Garden Grove is not an incorporated town. The county improved highway passes through north and south on the two principal business streets, Euclid and Ocean avenues. The enterprising owners of property on these streets, rather than see a twenty foot strip in the center paved volunteered to pave the two streets full width, the work having just been completed. This was one of the primary causes for the celebration. A walnut growers' association has recently been organized and a fine new packing house erected, the completion of the double tracks of the Pacific Electric to Santa Ana and the general era of prosperity prevailing in the town were contributing causes. The affair was arranged and carried out by the Garden Grove Improvement Association, a body of live men, of which H. A. Lake is president. A ple-eating tug, tug of war and other contests among county candidates were announced as part of the program, and the result was a crowd that far exceeded the expectations of the management. After dinner they were assembled on a platform erected in the open and each given a chance to have his or her say. Twelve hundred pounds of barbecued meat was passed out to 3500 people and still there were a thousand and more who did not get a plate. Acrobatic feats by Japanese, Japanese daylight fireworks and a base ball game were features of the program for the afternoon, and the event was closed with fireworks and a general good-time at night. VETERANS ELECT A. M. Brown of Comander of Fife Members of the Virginia Veterans' Assoc Thursday morning at Auditorium, at Hunter o'clock for the purposes for the ensuing After the straining drum music had ceased O. V. Knowlton and first order of busiest election of officers nominations for this and Comrade Seven nominated A. M. Brun for commander, and was immediately comrades from different districts, and those who were first elections that the Comedy winner, no matter be nominated. Dr. D. W. Hasson was placed in nomination a vote was taken, drew his name and rade Brown be elected and the adjutant to cast the ballot. For Senior Vice-Pride L. Scoffold of elected by unanimous Comrade W. A. Palgeles for Junior Vice-Pride R. H. Butler of historian. The only instance was required was we electing a council of nine members—the county of Los Angeles for seven candidates—the election of Comrade of Pasadena finger of Los Angeles were Comrades Ventura; S. K. Wardino; R. H. Butler W. J. Leiser of S Holmes of Corona son of Escondido; San Bernardo Veterans and Saphnia F. Ashley of An structed the judges to cut open ten boxes of apples, selected at random, from every carload lot, which means that the judges will have to cut open 1,400 apples out of every carload. The highest possible score is 1,000 points and when it is known that 998 points were scored by the carload that won the sweepstakes at last year's show the story is told of the success of Watsonville's fight against worms. So successful has the crusade been that California now produces apples that are freer from worms than the apples grown by any other community in the world and it is not believed that more than a few lonely worms will find hermitage in the 2,000,000 apples to be shown in the big tents at Market and 8th streets October 1 to 11. The judges of the forthcoming show appointed recently by President O. D. Stoessar of Watsonville, are regarded as foremost authorities on fruit culture. One of them is George E. Rowe of Grand Itapids, who for four years has made the trip to Watsonville every autumn to serve as a judge. He is a prominent member of the Pomological Society and one of the most widely known fruit experts in America. The second acceptance came from J.-D. Olwell, of Medford, Ore., who is a prominent apple grower in the northern state and was one of the judges at the Watsonville show last year. The third judge is Prof. C. I. Lewis, chief of the Oregon Agricultural College and Experiment Station at Corvallis, Oregon. It will take these three judges at least six days to judge the October show and reports received by Manager Perkins from the apple growing sections of the state indicate that finer fruit will be exhibited this year than ever before, embracing more than 200 varieties of California grown apples. Under the Watsonville system of judging green fruit the total perfect score is 1000 points, made up of 600 points for perfect fruit, 100 for uniform size, 100 for color, and 200 for perfect pack. In judging the pact, 40 points will be allowed for bulge, 40 for alignment, 40 for height at ends, 40 for compactness and 40 for attractiveness and style. For each wormy apple 40 points will be deducted; and for other imperfections, for scab or scale, 8 points each will be taken off. Deductions on pack uniformity and color will be made in the discretion of the judges, but no distinction will be made between 3 3½ and 4-tier packs. In the competition for sweepstake prizes, no variety will be given any preference and in judging car load lots, 10 boxes from each entry will be examined; 50 box lots, 4 boxes; 25 box lots 3 boxes; 10 box lots, 2; and 5 box lots 1. In the event of tie scores between two or more entries, additional boxes for each entry will be examined until the tie is broken. BIG INCREASE IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE After dinner they were assembled on a platform erected in the open and each given a chance to have his or her say. Twelve hundred pounds of barbecued meat was passed out to 3500 people and still there were a thousand and/or more who did not get a plate. Acrobatic feats by Japanese, Japanese daylight fireworks and a base ball game were features of the program for the afternoon, and the event was closed with fireworks and a general good time at night. NEW SCHEDULE IS SUSPENDED Raise of Rates on Grain and Hay Shipments is Delayed On complaint of the Olive Milling Company, the Interstate Commerce Commission has intervened and ordered the new schedule of tariffs announced by the Santa Fe and Pacific Electric on shipments of hay and grain from Idaho and Utah points to be suspended until December 11th. The new rates announced by the railroads to take effect August 13th would have had the effect of adding about $1.50 per ton on all grain shipments from Idaho and Utah to this county. On these commodities, local shippers have enjoyed the terminal rate given Los Angeles. The effort of the railroads to add to the terminal rate a back haul or local rate involves a principle that is of great importance to all shippers in this district, for if the railroads may add a local charge on hay and grain to the terminal rate, they may do the same on any article which is now shipped here. Not only Orange county, but San Diego and all points south of Colton are affected by the newly announced schedule of tariffs in this county, the Olive Milling Company and grain dealers in the towns of the county are affected vitally by the proposed raise in rates. It is expected that other interests in the territory south of Colton will join the Olive Milling Company in its fight. A formal complaint is to be filed soon, and the hearing before the Interstate Commission will doubtless be held before December 11th, the date to which the enforcement of the new schedule was ordered deferred. It is asserted that behind the movement to raise the shipping rates in this section are large milling interests in Los Angeles, who see in the withdrawal of the terminal rate in this district an opportunity to put out business the competing mills in the interior territory. In the case of the local milling concern, the addition of $1.50 per ton on all its grain shipments would certainly seriously hamper its business since it would mean an additional expense of approximately $3000 per year in freight charges. MORE TROUBLE Threats to Petition Of Corporate Our neighboring city which bids fair to rival disturbances is again a controversy which it off the map. They have decided to bulk have advertised for Certain citizens do Hall and are determined one erected since then anchor the city in more difficult to "ment" at some future amount to a demand and delivered to that that unless the plan are dropped at once en力 force the abolish plans. This The Trust that unless they do it a movement will call the officials. They got the bull dog dog build. In the event of call the Trustees try ready to start out their disincorporate their lands back into real city lots. The city is less than and has been dueance, due to lack of finance and harmony in action The Stanton City Bank will join in the incorporate in case Gilmore is the s Gilmore, a ceterum living at Sawtelle, of he had leftthe Sawtelle to bid for before departing fom BIG INCREASE IN SCHOOL ATTENDANCE State Supt. Hyatt's Report Shows Heavy Gain for Past Year New figures compiled by Superintendent Edward Hyatt for the school year just closed show a remarkable increase in average daily attendance in both the high schools and the elementary schools throughout the State. The total average daily attendance in the elementary schools aggregated 319,240, while that of the high schools reached 48,312. The net gain in the average daily attendance in the grades below the secondary schools was 21,356 and the net increase in the high schools was 5,460. The percentage of gain in the elementary schools was 7 per cent, while that of the high schools was 12 per cent, demonstrating that the growth of the high school is one of the most striking and significant movements in education in California. The large gain in both of these departments of the public school system means increased apportionments of funds for their improvement and maintenance during the ensuing school term of 1914-15. These figures point to the need for many new buildings and the necessity for large numbers of free text books to supply the increasing numbers of children. The big gain in the average daily attendance indicates an increased population for the state at large of at least 250,000 people. It should be noted that the figures given are for actual average daily attendance. As a matter of fact the enrollment for the state during the year was well over 400,000. Orange county's average daily attribution will be made between 3 3/4 and 4-tier packs. In the competition for sweepstake prizes, no variety will be given any preference and in judging car load lots, 10 boxes from each entry will be examined; 50 box lots, 4 boxes; 25 box lots 3 boxes; 10 box lots, 2; and 5 box lots 1. In the event of tie scores between two or more entries, additional boxes for each entry will be examined until the tie is broken. It is asserted that behind the movement to raise the shipping rates in this section are large milling interests in Los Angeles, who see in the withdrawal of the terminal rate in this district an opportunity to put out of business the competing mills in the interior territory. In the case of the local milling concern, the addition of $1.50 per ton on all its grain shipments would certainly seriously hamper its business since it would mean an additional expense of approximately $3000 per year in freight charges. THE POPE IS DEAD Tolling of the bells at St. Boniface Catholic church at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening announced the passing of Pope Plus X. Although his death occurred at 1:20 in the morning, following the custom at the Vatican, announcement was not made until several hours later. He was ill but a few days from an attack of pneumonia, but his death was unquestionably hastened by grief over the warring conditions of Europe. Guiselppe Sarto was elected Pontiff by the College of Cardinals on the death of Pope Leo XIII in 1903. He was Patriarch of Venice at the time. The Cardinals have been summoned to Rome to elect his successor, and who he will be is an unanswerable problem. There are no nominations, no electionering, no wire-pulling in the sacred college, each cardinal voting as his conscience dictates. ST. MICHAEL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH Services Sunday, August 30th, the twelfth Sunday after Trinity, at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, corner of Emily and Adele streets. Rev. David Todd Gillimor, rector, will be—9:45 a.m., church school and adult Bible classes 11 a.m., morning prayer and sermon, Rev. H. J. Camp officiating. No evening service. During the past people of the United States witnessing one of the experiments ever attempted to institute in the business, outlook hopefulness by employing a favorable and enlightening drawback of trade and other words, psychology-wide test. This was President Herbert Wagner what his reason has expressed of a desire to develop whether he has a concrete effect business. That he mind affects body the mind, is To what extent, the influences operate on fairs of a great personal condition to sound, but who themselves in a depot not responded to the political remedies been predicted? Naturally, Preside VETERANS ELECT NEW OFFICERS A. M. Brown of Colton, Chosen Commander of Association Members of the Southern California Veterans' Association assembled, Thursday morning in the Tent City Auditorium, at Huntington Beach at 10 o'clock for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year. After the strains of the fifte and drum music had ceased, Commander O. V. Knowlton announced that the first order of business would be the election of officers, and asked for nominations for that coveted honor, and Comrade Seymour of Colton nominated A. M. Brown, of that place, for commander, and the nomination was immediately seconded by eight comrades from different sections of the district, and it was evident to those who were familiar with such elections that the Colton man was an easy winner, no matter who else might be nominated. Dr. D. W. Hasson of Buena Park was placed in nomination, but before a vote was taken, Dr. Hasson withdrew his name and moved that Comrade Brown be elected by acclamation and the adjutant was instructed to cast the ballot. For Senior Vice Commander, Comrade L. Scofield of Whittier was also elected by unanimous consent, as was Comrade W. A. Packard of Los Angeles for Junior Vice Commander. Dr. Hasson was reelected surgeon in the same manner, and Rev. C. R. Norton of Glendale was elected chaplain without division; as was Comrade Frank Hobart of Ventura, for historian. The only instance where a ballot required was when the matter of electing a council of administration of nine members—two to be from the county of Los Angeles, and the ballot for seven candidates resulted in the election of Comrades J. A. Shepard of Pasadena and R. L. Hefflinger of Los Angeles. Others elected were Comrades Frank Hobart of Ventura; S. K. Wilson of San Bernardino; R. H. Butler of San Diego; W. J. Leiser of Santa Ann; H. H. Holmes of Corona; William Thompson of Escondido; J. L. Hattery of San Bernardino. For the Sons of Veterans and Sapnish War Veterans; H. F. Ashley of Anselmo and T. Gal party are hopeful the corner will be turned so completely that they will not encounter reverses at the fall elections. But even so the Democracy and its policies will be held to answer. How, for instance are they going to explain away what has already occurred? Take the matter of lost wages since the Underwood Tariff law became effective: The American Economist has been canvassing banks to get figures. It addressed 404 and has heard from 88. Of these 64 gave the comparisons asked for, as between the third week of June, 1913, and the third week of June, 1914. In those 64 banks the payroll checks cashed showed a falling off for one week of $866,905 and for 1914 $9,059,997. The decrease for a year at the same rate would run to $45,079,216. And that is from only 64 banks in 44 cities, while there are 7,500 nationals alone, to say nothing of State banks and trust companies. The low tariff shrinkage on wages and salaries, it is no exaggeration to estimate, "would mount into hundreds of millions of dollars" in a year. And "the pay envelope is by far the greatest single factor in American prosperity." For this sorry exhibit the administration will be called to account at the polls, whether psychology cures or not. AN EXAMPLE OF COLOSSAL IMPUDENCE Entering Poland, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army addressed a manifesto to the unhappy people of that wretched country. What makes this Russian proclamation chiefly remarkable is its amazing impudence. The Poles are assured: "The hour has sounded when the sacred dream of your fathers may be realized. An hundred and fifty years ago the living body of Poland was torn to pieces, but her soul survived, and she lived in the hope that for the Polish people would come an hour of regeneration and reorganization with Russia." The first partition of Poland was accomplished in 1772. Russia then took the area known as "White Russia." Prussia absorbed several palatines and Austria seized Galicia. Twenty-one years later occurred the second division and the final partion was effected in 1795. What had been a sovereign back to the agent of the American Fur company and was ordered to return to California and prospect the gold fields. He was killed in 1827 by the Indians, on his way to the coast. Francisco Lopez discovered gold on Piru Creek in what is now Ventura county, in 1842, and in November, 1842 Don Abel Stearns sent east by Alfred Robinson, well known to the early Santa Barbaran, 20 ounces of this placer gold, and this minted at Philadelphia. The mint assay was returned in August, 1843, and it is now in the rooms of the California Pioneers in San Francisco. CORN, ALSO GROWS TO PERFECTION 150 Bushels per Acre is an Orange County Yield C. E. Lavering of Seely and Lavering wanted some more samples of the bumper crop on the H. Larter place, near Huntington Beach, for exhibition purposes at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the big fairs next year, and Tuesday afternoon drove out to Mr. Larter's place and in the precease of several witnesses one twentieth of an arc was staked off in the portion of the field where what is supposed to be the heaviest corn on the farm is growing. Mr. Larter stated before digging the potatoes that the yield would be less than it was on the portions of the field dug under similar circumstances three weeks ago, but the corn yield would be somewhat heavier, and his statement proved correct, as only 977 pounds of tubers were weighed from the tract measured off. This would be a yield of 19,540 pounds per each, or 196 sacks of 100 pounds each, or 325 bushels; and the smallest yield on the former occasion was found to be 334 bushels and the largest 429. The corn on the portion of the field mentioned is a sight worth seeing, especially by those who were born in corn producing states; there being but few ears that one can reach from the ground. The height of one ear was measured and foud to be 9 feet 1 inch from terra firma, and it is certain that more than 150 bushels of corn per acre will be found at husking time, when it will be gathered and weighed in the presence of witnesses, electing a council of administration of nine members—two to be from the county of Los Angeles, and the ballot for seven candidates resulted in the election of Comrades J. A. Shepard of Pasadena and R. L. Hefflinger of Los Angeles. Others elected were Comrades Frank Hobart of Ventura; S. K. Wilson of San Bernardino; R. H. Butler of San Diego; W. J. Leiser of Santa Ann; H. H. Holmes of Corona; William Thompson of Escondido; J. L. Hattley of San Bernardino. For the Sons of Veterans and Sappin War Veterans; H. F. Ashley of Anaheim and T. Galbraith of Los Angeles. MORE TROUBLE STANTON CITY Threats to Petition for Abandonment Of Corporation Made Our neighboring city of Stanton, which bids fair to rival Watts for local disturbances is again in the throes of a controversy which threatens to wipe it off the map. The City Trustees have decided to build a City Hall and have advertised for bids for the same. Certain citizens do not want a City Hall and are determined not to have one erected since this would help to anchor the city in place and make it more difficult to "upset the government" at some future time. A sort of petition which seems to amount to a demand has been signed and delivered to the Trustees stating that unless the plans for the City Hall are dropped at once steps will be taken to force the abandonment of the plans. This the Trustees take to mean that unless they do as some want them to a movement will be started to recall the officials. The city dads have got the bull dog grip on the purpose to build. So it is certain that something is going to happen. In the event of an attempt to recall the Trustees their friends are ready to start out with a petition to disincorporate the city and turn the lands back into ranches instead of city lots. The city is less than three years old and has been the center for disturbance, due to lack of sameness of vision and harmony in action. It is said that the Stanton City Improvement Company will join in the movement to disincorporate in case it is started. STÁNTON MAN LOST The whereabouts of James T. Gilmore, who mysteriously disappeared from the Bryant ranch on August 1, still remains a mystery. Police authorities have searched Los Angeles and Orange county and have about come to the conclusion that he has met with some misfortune. Gilmore is the son of Nathan C. Gilmore, a ceteran of the Civil War, living at Sawtelle. When last heard of, he had left the Bryant ranch for Sawtelle to bid his father good-bye before departing for Favette Valley. hundred and fifty years ago the living body of Poland was torn to pieces, but her soul survived, and she lived in the hope that for the Polish people would come an hour of regeneration and reorganization with Russia." The first partition of Poland was accomplished in 1772. Russia then took the area known as "White Russia." Prussia absorbed several palatinate and Austria seized Galicia. Twenty-one years later occurred the second division and the final partition was effected in 1795. What had been a sovereign and independent nation was extinguished by the greed and rapacity of powers moved only by a desire to extend their territories. In that crime against civilization Catherine of Russia was the chief offender. Now crossing what was Poland in order to attack Germany, that same Russian announces to the oppressed Polish people that "Russia expects from you the loyalty to which history has bound you. With open heart and brotherly hand extended great Russia comes to greet you." The pages of history might be searched in vain for an example of colossal impudence to match that manifesto. The Brea lodge of the Knights of the Maccabees again brought out a crowd of boxing fans from all over the county when they held their third boxing exhibition in the Brea Auditorium Wednesday evening. The first bout offered was Babe Thomas of Brea vs. Joe Iman of Anaheim. Both boys were supposed to be in the 108-pound class, but the Anaheim lined appeared much bigger and heavier. Thomas was the better boxer of the two, but could not make his blows count as Iman had so much longer reach. At the end of the four rounds the bout was declared a draw. In the next bout, Kid Stoele of Olinda was evidently heavier than Billy Fife, of Brea. In the second round, Fife went down and Steele was given the decision. Dutch Heinrichs of Anaheim and Spud Morrison then plunged into a vivile mixup. Morrison showed up good at the start, but soon became winded and was knocked out in the middle of the second round. Scotty Coffman and Bob Brown then put up a lively and amusing contest for a draw. They got in very few good blows as they clinched at every opportunity and thumped each other on the back and shoulders. Kid Sandy and Heinle Boose boxed four rounds to a draw, Sandy having a The people of Anaheim purpose to celebrate the settling of that town some time in September. This was called "Pioneer Colony" in old days, and the first settlers came there away back in 1857, says the Los Angeles Times. They were mostly Germans, and but few of the originals survive at this time. But their children are there in numbers, having been born, brought up and lived there all their lives. None of the Reisers is there, nor the Korns. Then there was Mrs. Korn's sister, the elegant and hospitable Miss Hormann. Henry Kroeger is said to be the oldest inhabitant of the city. George Hansen, once City Surveyor of Los Angeles city, was one of the original Germans who settled in Anaheim. Most of the peanuts produced in the United States are grown in states which are solidly Democratic. And so, when the Ways and Means committee was framing the Underwood law peanuts were carefully retained on the durable list, although corn and wheat and fresh meat and eggs and such things, produced mostly in Republican states were given altogether another sort of attention. A situation has arisen in the peanut market, however, which would appear to call for a special act of Congress. The peanut markets of the section west of "Missouri River points," in railroad parlance, are at the mercy of Chinese and Japanese. California, for example no longer munches American grown peanuts when attending the circus or the baseball game. There has just developed a big import business from the Orient, not by the few sacks, but in 1913 enough to make a respectable ship load. Peanuts from the Orient have actually worked as far east as the Chicago market. Here is a statement of the imports at San Francisco for the calendar year 1913: From Japan: Pounds Value Unshellled: 3,849,898 $130,516 Shellled: 443,898 17,427 From China: The whereabouts of James T. Gilmore, who mysteriously disappeared from the Bryant ranch on August 1, still remains a mystery. Police authorities have searched Los Angeles and Orange county and have about come to the conclusion that he has met with some misfortune. Gilmore is the son of Nathan C. Gilmore, a ceteran of the Civil War, living at Sawtelle. When last heard of, he had left the Bryant ranch for Sawtelle to bid his father good-bye before departing for Fayette Valley, where the elder Gilmore had secured for him a position as superintendent of a 600-acre ranch. He did not reach Sawtelle and all efforts to find any trace of him since have been futile. He is five feet nine inches tall, has square shoulders, smooth face, medium complexion, tattoo on left arm and a small bald spot on the back of his head caused by the kick of a horse. PSYCHOLOGY During the past three weeks the people of the United States have been witnessing one of the most interesting experiments ever attempted. This is the effort to instill more confidence in the business outlook and a larger hopefulness by emphasizing that which is favorable and encouraging and minimizing the drawbacks and discouragements of trade and production. In other words, psychology is having a nation-wide test. The inspiration for this was President Wilson's—no matter what his reasons or the basis for his expression of sublime faith—and, as if of common consent, there is a disposition to stand by and let it be developed whether the state of mind has a concrete effect upon the state of business. That humanly speaking, the mind affects the body, and the body the mind, is not to be doubted. To what extent, then, do psychological influences operate on the material affairs of a great people whose fundamental conditions are declared to be sound, but who nevertheless find themselves in a depression which has not responded to time's treatment and political remedies as rapidly as had been predicted? Naturally, President Wilson and his CALIFORNIA GOLD Sir Francis Drake the English navigator was the first discoverer of gold in California. In 1578, he landed near San Francisco, took possession of the country in the name of Queen Elizabeth, and reporting his work says: "There is no part of earth here to be taken up wherein there is not a reasonable quantity of gold." Capt. Jeddiah Smith the first American to come to California, overland, found gold in the Sierra Nevada's in 1826. He carried some of it round. File went down and Steele was given the decision. Dutch Helfrichs of Anaheim and Spud Morrison then plunged into a lively mixup. Morrison showed up good at the start, but soon became winded and was knocked out in the middle of the second round. Scotty Coffman and Bob Brown then put up a lively and amusing contest for a draw. They got in very few blows as they clinched at every opportunity and thumped each other on the back and shoulders. Kid Sandy and Heinle Boose boxed four rounds to a draw, Sandy having a shade on the second and third and Heinle on the last. Following this the best bout of the evening was staged when Oran Snodgrass of Santa Ana mixed with Jack Fegelman of Los Angeles. Snodgrass is a favorite with the fans on account of his willingness to rush things, even if his opponent seems a little heavier. All four rounds were fast and furious. The first round was about even and in each of the others Snodgrass had a shade the better and if he had had a stronger punch he would have scored a knockout. The final contest was between Art Reed of Brea and Scotty McCroskey of Placentia. The result came somewhat of a surprise. McCroskey was not only fast, but hit harder than Reed and for the first two rounds had a shade the better. But the strenuous pace at which it was carried proved too much for Scotty and he began to weaken in the third round, which was about even. Then in the last round Reed began to rush things faster than ever and Scotty went down exhausted. He go up again, but a few seconds later went down for the count. TOTALS.....6,207,454 $211,909 That is a pretty fair beginning. The total is about 3,100 tons. It is an average of $17,659 a month for a budding industry. The 1914 record, as far as it is obtainable, is still more astounding. In detail, for January and February, it is as below: From Japan: Pounds Value Unshelled .....3,849,898 $130,516 Shelled .....443,898 17,427 From China: Unshelled .....874,768 27,150 Shelled .....825,217 29,193 From Dutch East Indies: Shelled .....213,673 7,623 TOTALS.....6,207,454 $211,909 The totals for these two months are more than half as large as for the entire year 1913. The flood appears to have been fairly started. If it continues there will come a call for the higher protection of the American peanut, coming from good old Democratic Free-Trade sources. The call is not likely to have much of a response from California, at least, which is getting cheaper peanuts than ever before, and which is suffering from the action of the Free-Trade administration in the treatment of the duty on wool, meat, eggs, butter, lemons, beet sugar and other products of that state. California now gets low priced peanuts; no thanks to the Wilson administration; but at what cost? A marriage license has been issued to John W. Atherton and Emma N. Sefrin, both of Buena Park.

These men, with other growers representing 450 acres of lemon groves will constitute the organization. A label committee consisting of Mrs. A. B. McDavid, Mrs. W. H. Hart, Mrs. G. C. Kinsman, Frank Lynn and R. K. Culver will meet soon to determine the design for the various brands. Mr. Strain in talking of the situation said that the lemons of this new district were increasing fast and there would soon be carload lots going from that new section. Misses Elsie and Susie Billington of Upland, have been visiting with Miss Vivian Power. UNIQUE MONUMENT A huge monument, which will be unique in conception and design is planned as a lasting memorial to the adherents of "The Lost Cause," the veterans who fought on the side of the south in the Civil War. The idea originated in the fertile brain of W. H. Terrill, a veteran, who is now practicing law in Atlanta, Georgia. Stone Mountain, Ga., will be the place where the monument is to be erected. Stone Mountain is a mighty boulder, in fact a mountain of granite, rising to a great height, and without any other hills to take away from its appearance of massive grandeur. The top is very nearly level, and it is intended to build on the top of this huge pile of granite a beautiful temple, in which will be preserved all the relics which it will be humanly possible to gather together, and which will be commemorative of the titanic struggles of the war. Plans are in shape so that a committee will be able to judge which will be the most acceptable, and carry out the idea of the originator the best. When erected the temple will be visible for many miles."
