SAN DIEGO Consld Brewing Co. San Diego, Cal., U.S.A. Knocked out by Ostrich. Henry Fallert had an exciting mix-up with one of the big birds on the ostrich farm four miles northeast of Fullerton, with a narrow escape from serious injury. Fallert had been plowing in an adjoining field and when leaving took a short cut across a corner of the pasture in which there were several of the birds, but of this fact he was unaware. He did not see the bird until it was close upon him and escape from its attack was impossible. His clothes were badly torn, and a vicious kick from the bird laid him flat upon the ground. He lay there quietly until the ostrich after circling about him several times, retired to a distance which gave Fallert a chance to run for the fence. This he did with the bird in close pursuit, but unable to reach him before he put the fence between them.

REPEAL OF POLL TAX CREATES DEFICIT REDUCTION IN STATE AID FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN OF $2.82 PER PUPIL PER YEAR COUNTY BOARDS ARE ASKED TO APPLY A REMEDY State Superintendent of Public Instruction Hyatt has issued the following statistics showing gains in the public schools in California for the past seven years: Elementary Schools Percent 1907 1914 of gain Teachers 8,848 12,266 48 Pupils ... 294,385 422,029 43 Av. daily attend... 234,624 319,229 36 No. grad. 12,683 24,780 92 State aid given ... $3,977,295.40 5,358,779.04 35 County aid given ... 2,866,479.17 4,980,197.76 73 Dist. aid given ... 937,001.16 4,591,921.29 390 Bonds voted for buildings 1,374,395.58 3,287,805.03 130 Note: The repeal of the poll tax will deduct from the state aid annually about $900,000 or $2.82 per pupil. If the state makes up this loss the aid will go to all the elementary schools of the state in all counties alike. If the county makes this up, some counties will and some will not. If it is left to the district most of the districts will not call for a special tax to do this and the loss will reduce the schools in annual income about one month each year. The coming legislature should provide for this loss.

There is every indication, from early space reservations by various citrus districts, that every region in California that produces oranges or lemons will play a part in the exposition. The National Orange Show belongs to the citrus rufus men of California. World's prizes will be awarded. The orange show of 1915 will be far more elaborate than any of the expositions of the past four years. Citrus fruit communities are planning on the construction of gorgeous works of art in oranges and lemons, to add to the splendor of the exposition. About 200,000 people are this year expected to witness the demonstration of the beauty and wealth of the citrus fruit industry. One of the elaborate features will be the pagenant of the orange, tracing in song and dance the story of the search for the golden wealth of the Pacific. The exposition, which is for citrus fruits exclusively, will cover ten acres of ground, in the form of a great garden. Heading the exposition organization are San Bernardino's most prominent men. MAY PROHIBIT IMPORT OF FOR-EIGN CITRUS FRUIT The advisability of prohibiting the importation of citrus nursery stock was discussed last week at a public hearing by the department of agriculture. The reasons advanced by the advocates of stopping the importation was that by this means the introduction into this country of what is known as citrus canker could be prevented. This disease has already been brought into the country apparently on Japanese nursery stock and is becoming established in the Gulf citrus MAY PROHIBIT IMPORT OF FOREIGN CITRUS FRUIT The advisability of prohibiting the importation of citrus nursery stock was discussed last week at a public hearing by the department of agriculture.

SAN DIEGO AUTO BUS LINE With San Diego auto buses hitting the street car company to the tune of nearly $250 a day, it is now reported that a company is being formed for the operation of large auto stages between San Diego and Los Angeles and intermediate points.

Busses seating from 30 to 60 people will be used mainly, although smaller machines will be put into service.
