FRICASSEED DOG IS FAVORITE REPAST IGOROTE HEAD-HUNTERS DEMAND THEIR DAILY RATION OF CA-NINE ROAST OR STEW TWELVE OF THEM WITH THE FOLEY & BURK CARNIVAL CO. AND DOGS GROWING FEWER IN ANAHEIM Would you like to sit down to a dog stew or a dainty portion of fillet of bow wow? You will have the opportunity at the pioneer week carnival at Lemon and Center streets. The chefs are Igorotes from the Philippines subjects of Uncle Sam. But they have certain dietary habits that don't conform with the best approved fashions in California. And they have certain other personal habits that might not make them the best of neighbors. Their morals, too, are somewhat different from those that are held up to our children. While they consciently observe religious rites of their own, they have not the slightest compunction in taking human life. Perhaps it is just the difference in the moral concept. But they are peculiar in their likes and dislikes, to say the least about them. In the first place they are headhunters. In order to approach the lady of his desire and youthful love, the Igorote young man must be able to display a certain number of scalps or dried human heads as proof of his prominence. When he can make a suitingly strong, an Igorrote in training being able to give a good account of himself against four white men of larger stature. They fight with spears and are astonishingly skillful, being able to hurl them great distances with a certainity of aim that is almost incredible. Blanket weaving, basket weaving and the making of trinkets are their nearest approach to civilization, although they have a crude blast furnace for forging metals which is quite efficient and with which they make their weapons, spear points, etc. These Igorotes were brought here for scientific purposes and there were charges several months ago that they were lured to this country against their will. After these charges were alred in court, however, it was decided that they were legitimately here. They were the feature of the state fair this year and entertained more than 15,000 people. One of them has been a resident of this country for a number of years. He was at Paris, at St. Louis, at Seattle. During that time he has become quite fluent in the English language. He has learned to say "eigar," "eat", and several other phrases, whiskey being one of them. However this last accomplishment is fast passing out of his vocabulary, for he never gets any response to this demand. Liquor is absolutely forbidden in the Igorrote village. Hundreds of unselfish and hardworking citizens, newspaper editors, ministers, school teachers, university men, officials of women's clubs, and many others have put in much time working without hope of reward for a vote "yes" on No. 18, the Non-sale of Game Act. Such citizens as John Muir, beloved author of the "Mountains of California;" Dr. Charles Frederick Holder, author and lecturer, writer of many books on clean public agAINST LAWS MISUNDERSTANDING TIC TERMS AND THE VOTERS ABSURD CLAIMS THAT IT UP AFTER New assertions speakers and polls proposed universally voted on November a warning to the Farmers and Frutition against elevations sentiments of the perate attempt to the uninformed future. The following words of an appeal day, Oct. 23rd, in Los Angeles "Citizenship of M. E. Carr the socialist party" “Therefore we versal 8-hour law is, and if found n afterward.” For days the pates, recognizing objections to its use to every worker—every occupation, emptions or except or other necessities urging that if wicked done by the legisl own, they have not the slightest compunction in taking human life. Perhaps it is just the difference in the moral concept. But they are peculiar in their likes and dislikes, to say the least about them. In the first place they are headhunters. In order to approach the lady of his desire and youthful love, the Igorrote young man must be able to display a certain number of scalps or dried human heads as proof of his prowess. When he can make a suitable showing he is smiled on by the fair one's father and his overtures to the malden of his choice are likely to be successful. But that is not all. Perhaps he may have come by the heads through inheritance. They may be family heirlooms. In order to permanently establish himself in the good graces of the tribe, in the eyes of his mother-in-law, and to propitiate the headhunting brothers and cousins who might not discriminate very carefully while making up their collections, he must go out immediately, not to return until he has a nice fresh head hanging from his belt. In the matter of the bill of fare, they offer vlands which might tempt the appetite of a really hungry man, but it is doubtful whether any Anaheim people will sit down with them to partake, no matter how urgent nor how courteous the invitation. And right here it is well to mention that if the owners of pet poodles and the manager of the bench show are really prudent they will lock up their pets. For the Igorrotes are dog eaters. That dainty belle of the Igorrote village, Addamay, who is called Rosle, just loves to sit down and munch the hind leg of someone's Fido or Nero. She is as fond of it as most people are of chicken. It is the national dish of this tribe in the Philippines, and their appetites are so well established that the manager of the Foley and Burk shows always furnish them dogs. Incidentally, this little idosyncracy of theirs in the matter of appetite is not without its lucrative phase. The pound man is always glad to see the Igorrotes arrive. Twice daily they partake of dog stew, dog chowder, dog steak, roast dog, or some other form of canine. Not "hot dogs," either, but genuine four-footed howlers and growlers and barkers. But they mix religion with dog, too. The priest kills it with ceremonial Hundreds of unselfish and hardworking citizens, newspaper editors, ministers, school teachers, university men, officials of women's clubs, and many others have put in much time working without hope of reward for a vote "yes" on No. 18, the Non-sale of Game Act. Such citizens as John Muir, beloved author of the "Mountains of California;" Dr. Charles Frederick Holder, author and lecturer, writer of many books on clean sport, and president of the Wild Life Protective League of America; Dr. William Frederie Bade, editor the Sierra Club Bulletin; and Mrs. Harriet Williams Myers, secretary of the California Audubon Society, such citizens deserve the appreciative support in this matter of every patriotic voter. Nobody else can cast your vote for you—may we urge that you take pains to vote early, a strong YES on No. 18, and get your neighbors to do likewise? Judge Cox Getting Mad. Justice of the Peace Cox has declared war on bicycle stealing and gun packing. "I make it a rule of this court henceforth to give any man convicted of either of those offenses the limit, which is six months in jail," said the justice. "That is the best way to stop bicycle stealing and carrying revolvers." The justice applied title rule to three youths from Downey and to a Newport Beach Mexican. Louis Warneke, Hobert Nicholas and Richard Stanley, pleading guilty to stealing bicycles at Fullerton, were sent to jail for six months each. Pilas Ortez, who had a revolver older than the hills, got six months for gunpacking. At Huntington Beach. The Huntington Beach company has recently sunk two water wells developing 250 inches of water, perpetual flow. Other wells will go down to provide irrigation water for the subdivisions on the market. Meantime Orange county is working on the third paved boulevard leading from Huntington Beach to the back country. This branch is off the main north-and-south road near Smeltzer and continues on to Westminster and the Anaheim road. where it turns west to Long Beach. Contracts are soon to be let for a short link in the Orange county road that will connect the Anaheim road universal 8-hour law office is, and if found new afterward." For days the parties recognize objections to its use to every worker—every occupation, empties or exceptions or other necessities urging that if widened by the legal "the law can be changed law could be soon necessary exceptional experiment which is not the type further, a consummate wage earners who factory earnings thru or ten hours, have eously to believe they would be peril time if paid extortion the truth is that no form any extra sext hours, no matter what his employer made.

Incidentally, this little idosyncracy of theirs in the matter of appetite is not without its lucrative phase. The pound man is always glad to see the Igorotes arrive. Twice daily they partake of dog stew, dog chowder, dog steak, roast dog, or some other form of canine. Not "hot dogs," either, but genuine four-footed howlers and growlers and barkers. But they mix religion with dog, too. The priest kills it with ceremonial rites. While they eat dog, they are particular about other kinds of meat and discriminate against pork; neither will they eat blood. This must be drained carefully from the offering. A part of their performance at the fair consists of their preparation and the "bed feed" on dog. The title by which their national dish is called is highly descriptive; it is "boy-wow chow." Fat, happy Rosie, youngest and prettiest of the Igorotes, is in a fair way to be spoiled by the attentions showered upon her. She is by all odds the favorite, and the recipient of special favors everywhere. She is the most graceful dancer. Also she has a most winning smile. A part of the performance consists of the wierd, savage music of these people. The music is furnished by the men, while the women do the dancing. Their national dance is the "ginaan;" no ragging is allowed. There are four women in the village and eight men. The women are Kinalang, Luyavan, Addamay (who is also called Rosie) and Banacan. These people show their native arts, native dances, and native customs. They come from Bongtauk, Upper Luzon, from a tribe which gave the Americans much trouble when the troops were subjugating the savage tribes. Both the men and women are well developed physically and are surprisingly well equipped for irrigation water for the subdivisions on the market. Meantime Orange county is working on the third paved boulevard leading from Huntington Beach to the back country. This branch is off the main north-and-south road near Smeltzer and continues on to Westminster and the Anaheim road, where it turns west to Long Beach. Contracts are soon to be let for a short link in the Orange county road that will connect the Anaheim road with the Los Angeles county boulevard that runs through Artesia, and will give a third paved route between Huntington Beach and Los Angeles. New Water Company. M. O. Oinsworth, W. D. Baker, W. D. Irafton, O. K. Putnam and G. L. Cates, orange growers, who have organized the Ald Water company, and will put down a well and establish a pumping plant to supply water for their groves. This will make them independent of other sources of supply. AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE A Scotch minister and his servant who were coming home from a wedding began to consider the state into which their potations at the wedding ceas had left them. "Sandy," said the minister, "just stop a minute here till I go ahead. Maybe I don't walk very steady and the good wife might remark something not just right." He walked ahead of the servant for a short distance and then asked: "How is it? Am I walking straight?" "Oh, ay," answered Sandy, thickly, "ye're a' richt—but who's thot walking wl' ye?"—Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. The law as submitted no overtime pay will terms apply to every employer who allowed work over 8 hours was paid would be and subject to a max of 90 days in jail and worker or employer its universal terms exceptions or exemptions. "The law has not history elsewhere" as no such universal policy industry and labor emitted or tried in A. "We urge every law and judge its eve." The drastic, no merits an overwhelming from patriotic citizen. FRUIT GROWERS The organization Growers' AssociationVENTION and farmers held at Los Angeles to 14th, will be one important matters take many of the states to of growers themselves. PUBLIC WARNED AGAINST 8-HOUR LAW MISUNDERSTANDING OF ITS DRASTIC TERMS AMONG MANY OF THE VOTERS OF THE STATE ABSURD CLAIM OF LAW'S APOLIGISTS THAT IT CAN BE FIXED UP AFTERWARDS New assertions by socialist party speakers and politicians backing the proposed universal 8-hour law, to be voted on November 3rd, called forth a warning to the public from the Farmers and Fruit Growers’ Federation against eleventh-hour misrepresentations of the question in a desperate attempt to gain the votes of the uninformed for the drastic measure. The following were the closing words of an appeal published on Friday, Oct. 23rd, in the columns of the Los Angeles "Citizen", over the signature of M. E. Carroll, a proponent of the socialist party measure: “Therefore we say, place the universal 8-hour law on the statutes as it is, and if found necessary 'doctor' it afterward.” For days the proposed law's advocates, recognizing the strength of the objections to its universal application to every worker—men and women in every occupation, without any exemptions or exceptions for agriculture or other necessities of life—have been urging that if widespread damage is done by the legislative experiment have full proprietorship and authority are doing excellent work and are the means of creating a greatly increased interest in movements designed to benefit the agricultural people. Any such movement inaugurated and carried forward by people themselves always holds their interest much better than when it is furnished to them free by the state as is done by the agricultural college and state horticultural commissioner's office though these means of help cannot be dispensed with and a growers' association can only be effective when cooperating fully with them. HOW PROHIBITION WORKED IN KANSAS FORMER JAYHAWKER SPEAKS REMINISCENTLY OF LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN DRY STATE DECLARES THAT PROHIBITARY LAWS DO NOT CURTAIL THE SALE OF INTOXICANTS IN THE LEAST "I have read much of late," said a former Kansasan as he folded a paper and stuck it in his pocket, "about the effective workings of the prohibition law in Kansas, and how the people of that state have all grown wise, good, industrious and prosperous under the law. If this is true the reformation dates from a very recent time, and from letters and newspapers which publish police court records I receive, I believe the booze question in Kansas is just as much an unsolved problem want it for medicinal, mechanical or scientific purposes you can have it. If you have symptoms of appendicitis, rheumatism or liver complaint or have been bitten by a snake, if you want it for corns, falling out of the hair or old age, you can have it. If you want For days the proposed law's advocates, recognizing the strength of the objections to its universal application to every worker—men and women in every occupation, without any exemptions or exceptions for agriculture or other necessities of life—have been urging that if widespread damage is done by the legislative experiment "the law can be changed." Many voters have been led to believe that the law could be soon amended to include necessary exceptions, when the radical experiment proved disastrous, which is not the truth. Further, a considerable number of wage earners who are making satisfactory earnings through working nine or ten hours, have been found erroneously to believe that under the law they would be permitted to work overtime if paid extra therefor, while the truth is that no worker could perform any extra service over eight hours, no matter what additional pay his employer made for it. The Farmers and Fruit Growers Federation has issued the following statement on the subject: "The public is warned against misunderstandings existing regarding the sweeping terms of the Universal 8-hour law and against certain misrepresentations being circulated regarding it. "The proposed law, which is No. 3 on the ballot, if adopted by a majority vote could not be amended by the Legislature and could not be vetoed by the Governor. Under the constitution of California the law would go into full force and effect five days after the official declaration of the vote thereon by the secretary of state, if approved by a majority vote at the polls. The only way it could be suspended, except if it were declared by the courts to be in violation of the Federal constitution, would be by the signing of another initiative petition by about 50,000 electors, and a majority vote at a subsequent election. "The statements that 'the law can be fixed up afterward' and that 'it can be changed soon' are therefore a deception. No change can be made in initiative measures, once adopted, by the legislature, Governor or any other power except the people themselves through the same initiative process." Another serious misunderstanding former Kansan as he folded a paper and stuck it in his pocket, "about the effective workings of the prohibition law in Kansas, and how the people of that state have all grown wise, good, industrious and prosperous under the law. If this is true the reformation dates from a very recent time, and from letters and newspapers which publish police court records I receive. I believe the booze question in Kansas is just as much an unsolved problem as it was when I lived there. "During my 24 years' residence in the state the law was changed several times to make it more drastic, but it never affected the sale of liquor, and no Kansan ever lost a drink because of it. In fact I know the nature of the average Kansan so well that I am convinced no law that man is capable of making would prevent him getting booze if he wanted it and had the price. The records show that thousands upon thousands of dollars were spent in our county every year prosecuting boot leggers and blind piggers, but the consumption of liquor did not diminish, and no man lost a drink in consequence. If one blind pig was closed up a flock of boot-leggers were ready to take its place. The boot-legger would stand on the street corners with his pockets full of bottles and make frequent visits to alleyes where a customer would follow him. Boys would club their small savings together and buy his vile snake poison and get gloriously exhilarated on fusil oil, strychnine and tobacco juice. He was not amenable to the law, and would sell to anybody, old or young, sober or drunk, who could raise the money. Of course efforts were made to prosecute these fellows, but they generally failed. They knew their customers and these customers would swear truth out of Kansas rather than let them go to jail. Well, we elected a rank prohibitionist county attorney. He was exceedingly dry. He was a minister of the gospel as well as a lawyer and was conscientiously dry. He swore on a parcel-gilt goblet to send every boot-legger in the county to jail. He actually made quite a flurry for a time—that is, he increased the cost of the criminal court by several thousand dollars and convicted a few indescrete men—but there was no abatement in the sale of liquor. After flourishing for a year it was discovered that he was collecting $700 a month want it for medicinal, mechanical or scientific purposes you can have it. If you have symptoms of appendicitis, rheumatism or liver complaint or have been bitten by a snake, if you want it for corns, falling out of the hair or old age, you can have it. If you want to lubricate your auto with it, cure the mange on your dog or give it to your wife for a bad disposition, I can let you have it, but I am not permitted to sell it to you to drink. "The language that Missourian turned loose for the next five minutes was the most picturesque I ever heard. He cussed Kansas, the Kansas legislature, the people of Kansas, and every living thing in its borders. "'Thank heaven,' he finally said. I'm only three hours from good old Missouri.' "Then he went out and cranked his machine with a vicious jerk. But a minute later I heard his engine stop and he came tearing back. 'Doctor,' he said, 'give me that whiskey. I've been exposed. I just rubbed up against a man who said he had eaten a green apple and felt like he was going to have cholera morbus.'" "'That’s a very common complaint in this region,' said the druggist, 'and a quart of preventive is worth a gallon of cure. Hold up your right hand.'" 'What for? What’s the next chapter in this blankety, blanked farce?'" 'You must swear to this statement but if you don’t like the oath you needn’t swallow it, of course,' said the druggist. "After some hesitation the man stuck up his hand. 'Do you solemnly swear,' said the druggist, 'to support the constitution of the United States, to always vote the democratic ticket, and attend the Methodist church regularly?'" 'Not by a blanked sight!' yelled the Missourian. "I don't care a continental whether you do or not. Here's your whiskey. Two dollars please," answered the doctor. "Now that," said the former Kansan, "is the way prohibition worked in Kansas up to five or six years ago, and nobody can make me believe there has been such a radical change as is claimed in that period of time. The by the signing of another initiative petition by about 50,000 electors, and a majority vote at a subsequent election. "The statements that 'the law can be fixed up afterward' and that 'it can be changed soon' are therefore a deception. No change can be made in initiative measures, once adopted, by the legislature, Governor or any other power except the people themselves through the same initiative process. "Another serious misunderstanding entertained by some workers is embraced in the statement: 'It does not apply to me, for I will get an hour's overtime pay for my 9-hour day, so my earnings will not be reduced.' Such belief by any worker is a mistake. The law as submitted would permit no overtime pay whatever and its terms apply to everybody. An employer who allowed any employee to work over 8 hours, no matter what was paid, would be guilty of violation and subject to a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. No worker or employer could escape from its universal terms, which allow no exceptions or exemptions. "The law has not 'proved satisfactory elsewhere' as claimed, because no such universal penal restriction of industry and labor ever has been submitted or tried in America before. "We urge every voter to read the law and judge its effects. "The drastic, non-exempting law merits an overwhelming vote of "No" from patriotic citizens of all classes." FRUIT GROWERS' ASSOCIATION The organization of a State Fruit Growers' Association at the state convention and farmers' assembly, to be held at Los Angeles November 10th to 14th, will be one of the most important matters taken up there. In many of the states these associations of growers themselves in which they ceedingly dry. He was a minister of the gospel as well as a lawyer and was conscienously dry. He swore on a parcel-gilt goblet to send every boot-legger in the county to jail. He actually made quite a flurry for a time—that is, he increased the cost of the criminal court by several thousand dollars and convicted a few indescrete men—but there was no abatement in the sale of liquor. After flourishing for a year it was discovered that he was collecting $700 a month as an immunity fee from favored ones, and trying to prosecute only those who failed to pay him tribute. "At one time the express companies shipped whiskey in by the carload. It was put up in gallon jugs, each one labeled with a fictitious name. You could pay $4 to the express man, sign a name and carry on your jug. For many years the drug stores had almost a monopoly of the business. They sold to customers who did not like to deal with boot-leggers and wanted to buy it according to law. It was only sold for medical, mechanical or scientific purposes, but opportune diseases were plentiful there. A customer could sign up for a half-plint or a barrel of liquor and carry it off piecemeal. He could sign for one bottle of beer or a case and take a bottle at a time. "I was standing at a prescription case in a drug store one day talking to the druggist when an automobile stopped at the door and a man came bustling in. "Doctor,' he said, 'give me a quart of whiskey." "The druggist reached for his prescription book and wrote in the date, name, residence and amount. "What do you want this for?' he asked. "Why, to drink, of course. What else would I use it for?" "That's the only purpose I can't sell it for," said the druggist. 'If you' "Not by a blanked sight!" yelled the Missourian. "I don't care a continental whether you do or not. Here's your whiskey. Two dollars please," answered the doctor. "Now that," said the former Kansan, "is the way prohibition worked in Kansas up to five or six years ago, and nobody can make me believe there has been such a radical change as is claimed in that period of time. The appetite remains with the Kansans and they will find a means to satisfy it." HORSE DROPS DEAD WITH HIS RIDER Dr. G. W. Classon Slightly Injured in A Singular Accident Dr. G. W. Classon met with a peculiar accident Saturday; but fortunately came out of it with only a few bruises to show for it. He had been caring for a fine sorrel horse belonged to the Bixby ranch and was expecting to ride it in the carnival parade. On Saturday as he was riding it out for exercise the animal suddenly fell in front of the hospital on Adele street. The doctor escaped with a few slight injuries but the horse was found to be dead or dying. It was not determined whether the cause of death was heart failure of a ruptured blood vessel. It was a valuable animal and would have been conspicuous in the parade. FOR SALE—Clark Jewel Gas Stove. 4-hole, broiler, oven and water coils. Phone-Sunset 7-R 1 or P. O.
