BOTH PHONES JUDGE ACCUSES MAN OF PERJURY Eloping Couple are now Asking Court To Disunite Them Kenneth C. Tate of Fullerton, whose application for divorce was heard in Superior Court Friday, was roundly scored by Judge Thomas who accused him of perjury and who announced that if the case had not been outlawed he would order him under immediate arrest. Tate eloped with Miss Ella Rawlings, daughter of Mrs. Frank Machleb of this city three years and seven months ago. Both Tate and the young lady were 18 years of age, but at Fresno, where the couple were married, he swore that he was 21. Tate the mountains of California increases 140 per cent. An exhaustive report on underground water conditions in the Imperial valley is included in the report and also the result of some irrigation investigations in the state. This will be published by the United States department of agriculture. The report reveals that the Sacramento river is fourth in the United States in volume of water. COYOTES AND WILDCATS SHOT BY HUNTERS IN AEROPLANE Novel Method Used to Hunt Varmints in Mountainous Regions The first aeroplane hunt in South- Superior Court Friday, was foundly scored by Judge Thomas who accused him of perjury and who announced that if the case had not been outlawed he would order him under immediate arrest. Tate eloped with Miss Ella Rawlings, daughter of Mrs. Frank Machleb of this city three years and seven months ago. Both Tate and the young lady were 18 years of age, but at Fresno, where the couple were married, he swore that he was 21. Tate sued his wife on the ground of desertion and she has filed a counter claim charging desertion and extreme cruelty. On the stand Tate admitted that he left their home one day before his wife deserted it, but claims that his reason for so doing was that his mother-in-law was in the house. Mrs. Tate was not present at the trial for some reason which her attorney, Mr. Callor, could not explain, consequently the court ordered a postponement of the case until she could be present, as it was desirous of getting at both sides of the case. E. J. Marks represented Tate and Tipton & Callor appeared for his wife. STATE AID URGED IN FLOOD CONTROL Recommendation that the state shall assist financially in the solution of the Los Angeles flood control problem is contained in the biennial report of State Engineer S. W. F. McClure, just issued, at Sacramento. The report says the state committed itself to aid in such cases when Humboldt county was assisted in controlling the Eel and the Mad rivers, which overflowed their banks. The report recommends that if the state assists, however, work shall be done under state supervision. Among other things, the report shows that during the year auto travel over scenic state highways in States department of agriculture. The report reveals that the Sacramento river is fourth in the United States in volume of water. COYOTES AND WILDCATS SHOT BY HUNTERS IN AEROPLANE Novel Method Used to Hunt Varmints In Mountainous Regions The first aeroplane hunt in Southern California was held in the San Fernando Valley one afternoon recently when Glenn Martin and Fred Mills rose from Griffith Park and sped away up the valley, to return with three coyotes and two wildcats. Both Martin and Mills are crack shots. Mills is an exceptionally fine shot and, of course, did all the shooting with Martin at the steering wheel of the biplane. "We hurried up the valley," said Martin, "flying within a hundred feet of the ground until we stirred up a flock of quail. Then we rose and circled around them in half-mile sweeps. We spotted the coyotes and wild cats. I came down to within a 100 feet of the ground when Mills shot and killed a coyote. Then we hurried up again so as not to scare the others, coming down when we spotted another." The hunt came at the suggestion of sportsmen who are opposed to the present bill before the state legislature for the closing of the Angelus reserve. Coyotes and wildcats kill more game than the hunters and a bounty on these would mean plenty of game. Escalante Brothers' Mexican show has come and gone after giving three days' entertainment on the grounds opposite Central school. Their receipts were not exceedingly large as the songs and dialogues were all in the Spanish tongue. INFORMATION RE-GARDING OUR SCHOOLS FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS SCHOOL OFFICERS OF COUNTY AND STATE ARE DEScribed TIDY AND HANDY FOLDER, WELL WORTH KEEPING FOR REFERENCE An eight page circular has just been issued from the office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, under the caption Information About California School Systems. It is cleverly designed for answering the thousands of people who continually ask from all over the world about this, that and the other point regarding the California schools. It tells about the functions of the various school officers of the county and state, and gives a directory of the same. It describes certification, examination, teachers, textbooks, institutes, salaries. It touches the different classes of schools, colleges, normal institutions and universities of the state. It gives lists of what may be had and what not in the way of official publications. Altogether, it is a tidy and handy little thing, well worth keeping for reference. You can get a copy by writing to Superintendent Hyatt, at Sacramento. For the state there is a superintendent of Public Instruction, a State Board of Education composed of seven members and three Assistant Superintendents selected by the State schooling costs nearly twenty-seven and one half-million dollars per year, for all purposes. About sixteen million five hundred thousand dollars of this is for teachers' salaries. The lowest salaries are about $500 per year, for the teachers of small rural schools. Salaries for primary and elementary schools range from $500 to $800 per year, principals receiving somewhat more. The average salary of men teachers, including principals, in elementary schools, is about $1,018; of women, slightly over $746. High school teachers receive from $800 to $2,400 per year, the men teachers, including principals, averaging about $1,500; women about $1,100. The cost of board ranges from $19 to $30 per month, averaging about $24. The term of school varies from 8 to 10 months per year, averaging 9 in primary and elementary schools, 9 to 12 in high schools. No school can fall below 6 months. The term usually begins in September and closes in May or June, although there are many exceptions in the high mountains and along the coast. It is not practicable o teach a summer term and a winter term too, since they overlap in time. Four kinds of certificates are issued by County Boards of Education: high school, elementary, special and kindergarten-primary, each requiring a two-dollar fee before issuance. High school certificates are issued only upon credentials, not upon examination. A circular (No. 5) giving the details of high school certification will be furnished upon request by the superintendent of public instruction at Sacramento; or a copy may be seen at the office of the nearest county superintendent of schools. A high school certificate entitles the holder to teach in any high school, elementary school, or primary school in the county. Elementary school certificates may be issued by the County Board of Ed circular No. 1 under elementary school certificates above. The county superintendent has the power to issue, if he deems it proper to do so, temporary certificates of equivalent grades to persons holding certificates granted by county boards of education of California; or to persons who are graduates of colleges, normal schools or universities, and who hold valid certificates issued outside of California, when, in his judgment, such certificates correspond in grade to certificates which may be issued by county boards of education; such temporary certificates to expire on the July first or January first next following the date of issuance; but to graduates of the University of California or the Leland Stanford Junior University, he may issue temporary elementary certificates valid for two years. No person shall be entitled to receive a temporary certificate more than once in the same county. The temporary certificate requires no fee. According to a recent decision of the Attorneys General, persons who are not citizens of the United States may not be employed as teachers in the public schools of the state of California. Each county superintendent of schools conducts a County Institute each year, at such time, in such manner, and with such instructors as he chooses. All teachers employed in the county are required to be present and take part in the proceedings. Teachers' salaries are not reduced by such attendance. County superintendents of schools, in counties containing more than 20 school districts, may hold annual trustees' meetings, and it is the duty of one trustee from each district, selected by his board to attend. Such meetings will continue in session one day, and trustees attending are allowed actual traveling expenses for the trip caused by attendance. California is the only state making It gives lists of what may be had and what not in the way of official publications. Altogether, it is a tidy and handy little thing, well worth keeping for reference. You can get a copy by writing to Superintendent Hyatt, at Sacramento. For the state there is a superintendent of Public Instruction, a State Board of Education composed of seven members and three Assistant Superintendents selected by the State board. For each county there is a County Superintendent of Schools, and a Board of Education composed of five members. For each school district there is a Board of Trustees composed of three members. In cities having charters there is a City Board of Education of five or more members. The Superintendent of Public Instruction superintends the schools of the State, distributes the State textbooks, acts as the secretary of the State Board of Education, and prepares and distributes blanks, laws, and registers for the use of school officers. The State Board of Education issues Life Diplomas, adopts and publishes state textbooks, prescribes the conditions of high school certification, and makes accredited lists of normal schools, kindergarten training schools, and life diplomas, or certificates of other states. The Assistant Superintendent inspects schools and work under the direction of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The County Superintendent superintends the schools of the county, issues temporary certificates, conducts county institutes and acts as the secretary of the County Board of Education. The County Board of Education grants and revokes teachers' certificates, makes the course of study, conducts teachers' examinations, approves library books and supplemental books and graduates pupils from the grammar schools. The Board of Trustees employs teachers and janitors, builds school houses, and manages the schools. One of their number is elected as clerk, and acts as an executive officer. In cities, the City Board of Education performs the same duties as the Board of Education performs the same duties as the Board of Trustees does in the district. The public schools consist of Elementary (Grammar) schools, giving the first eight years of work, and Secondary schools. A circular (No. 6) giving the details of high school certification will be furnished upon request by the superintendent of public instruction at Sacramento; or a copy may be seen at the office of the nearest county superintendent of schools. A high school certificate entitles the holder to teach in any high school, elementary school, or primary school in the county. Elementary school certificates may be issued by the County Board of Education upon credentials such as other California certificates, diplomas from California State Normal schools, state diplomas and normal diplomas found on the Accredited Lists prepared by the State Board of Education. Elementary school certificates may also be issued to graduates of the four-year course of the University of California or Leeland Stanford Junior University, when evidence is presented that the applicant has had six months' training in one of the State normal schools of California, or eight months of successful teaching experience in California public schools after graduation. A circular (No. 1) giving these accredited lists and other details of elementary and kindergarten certification upon credentials may be obtained upon request of the Superintendent of Public Instruction at Sacramento, or a copy may be seen at the office of the nearest county superintendent of schools. Elementary school certificates may also be issued by the County Board of Education upon examination. Examinations are held twice a year upon the following subjects: reading, English grammar and advanced composition, English and American literature, orthography and defining, penmanship, drawing, vocal music, bookkeeping, arithmetic, algebra to quadratic, plane geometry, geography (physical, political and industrial), elementary physics, physiology and hygiene, history of the United States and civil government, history (ancient, medieval, and modern), school law, methods of teaching. These examinations vary somewhat in different counties, as each county is a law unto itself in details. Usually the examinations occur in December and June and occupy from three to five days of time; but there are many exceptions. All applicants pay of fee of $2. Detailed information of time, place, rules, and samples of questions may usually be obtained upon request of the County Superintendent. County superintendents of schools, in counties containing more than 20 school districts, may hold annual trustees' meetings, and it is the duty of one trustee from each district, selected by his board to attend. Such meetings will continue in session one day, and trustees attending are allowed actual traveling expenses for the trip caused by attendance. California is the only state making its own textbooks for the schools. It has done so for about thirty years. Copyrights and plates of textbooks adopted by the state board of education are leased of the publishers at royalties ranging from 12 1-2 to 20 per cent of the price. The books are manufactured at the state printing office and furnished to the children free of charge. SOMETHING ABOUT HELGOLAND Helgoland, which is now appearing in print as regularly as some of the class A countries, is an island in the North Sea about as large as some of the scare-heads it has inspired. It is about 40 miles from the mouth of the Elbe and is about four times as large as the Grand Central station in New York. It contains about 160 acres and consists of a flat rock 200 feet high with a small beach beneath. On the rock forts, potato patches, wireless stations and Zeppelin sheds are located, while below are fishing villages and bathing beaches. Helgoland has 2,500 people, which is a pretty fair population for a quarter-section farm. Some of these live by fishing, some by running summer hotels and some by raising vegetables and milking cows. It requires great skill to balance a fair-sized milk cow on a Helgoland farm during a high wind and considerable live stock fall off the island during the course of a year. Helgoland is regarded with great interest by theologists because of its restless disposition. It is the most unstable island in the world. Half of it is steadily rising higher above the sea, while the other half is slowly disappearing. A man might as well buy a farm near the Missouri river as to buy a lot on the sandy shores of Helgoland below the hill and expect it to stay there. The Germans have owned Helgoland since 1890. and with true German thrift The Board of Trustees compiles teachers and janitors, builds schoolhouses, and manages the schools. One of their number is elected as clerk, and acts as an executive officer. In cities, the City Board of Education performs the same duties as the Board of Education performs the same duties as the Board of Trustees does in the district. The public schools consist of Elementary (Grammar) schools, giving the first eight years of work, and Secondary (High) schools, usually giving four years additional to the elementary schools. There are also evening schools, kindergarten, manual training schools, and schools for the deaf in some of the cities. There is a State University, located at Berkeley; Stanford University, at Palo Alto; Occidental College, Los Angeles; Pomona College, Claremont, eight State Normal Schools, at San Jose, Los Angeles, Chico, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Fresno, and Arcata, respectively; a Polytechnic school at San Luis Obispo; a Farm School at Davis; an institution for the Education of the Deaf and Blind at Berkeley; and schools of a reformatory nature at Whittler and Ione. There are also the following 4-year denominational colleges: University of Redlands, Redlands (Baptist); University of Southern California, Los Angeles (Methodist); Santa Clara College, Santa Clara (Catholic); College of the Pacific, San Jose, (Methodist). The presidents of any of these institutions will furnish information on request. There are about 12,400 elementary school teachers, including night school teacher, about 3,100 secondary school teachers, and about 360 kindergarten teachers. Of this number, obout one-seventh are men. There are about 423,000 elementary school pupils enrolled, and about 66,500 secondary school pupils.

Detailed information of time, place, rules, and samples of questions may usually be obtained upon request of the County Superintendent of Schools. Any elementary school certificate entities the holder to teach in any elementary or primary school in the county. The county board of education may issue special certificates of either elementary or high school grade to those who, by examination or any credentials, or by both, shall satisfy the board of their special fitness to teach one or more of the particular studies for which special certificates may be granted, and who shall satisfy the board of their proficiency in English grammar, orthography, defining, and methods of teaching. No special certificate shall be granted to teach in any school, studies other than drawing, music physical culture, and commercial, technical or industrial work. These special certificates no not title the holder to take charge of regular schools or to teach other branches than the technical ones specifically named in the certificate. The county board of education may grant kindergarten-primary certificates upon credentials only, not examination. Such certificates entitle the holder to teach first grade and kindergarten classes only. Credentials that may be recognized are other California kindergarten-primary certificates, diplomas from the kindergarten department of a California state normal school, and diplomas from kindergarten training schools in the accredited list. See remark concerningcircled list. Helgoland is regarded with great interest by theologists because of its restless disposition. It is the most unstable island in the world. Half of it is steadily rising higher above the sea, while the other half is slowly disappearing. A man might as well buy a farm near the Missouri river as to buy a lot on the sandy shores of Helgoland below the hill and expect it to stay there. The Germans have owned Helgoland since 1890, and with true German thrift they haven't wasted any of it. The space between the cabbage patches is occupied by huge guns and it is one of the most formidable forts in the world. It has long been an irritation to England, which doesn't enjoy its existence, and if the present war turns against Germany, Helgoland will probably be removed. Pulling islands out of the sea has never been regarded as an easy job, but the Panama boys would load the whole concern on barges and tow it to England in six months. Helgoland is so small that the careless student of geography usually passes it over for a fly spect. But its history is over 1200 years long. In the seventh century Christian missionaries converted its inhabitants and it has been an orderly and respectable community ever since. Let us hope no warring fleets get to fighting about the island. If a dreadnaught should collide with it and tip it over in the haste of conflict, geography would suffer a great loss. Frank N. Gibbs of the Gibbs Lumber company of this city sends a card from San Francisco saying he is in attendance upon the twelfth annual convention of the Western Retail Lumbers' convention being held in that city. He also attended the opening of the World's Fair in that city on Saturday. The extraordinary dollar-for-dollar value and unequalled service that explain the success of the Ford car are present even to a greater extent than ever before in the new Ford Coupelet. You have in this happy example of the two-cars-in-one idea, a greater degree of comfort and luxury. A matter of two minutes and the top is up transforming the roadster into a coupe and the driver is safe from all the rigors of weather. The Coupelet is built on the famous Ford chassis—the same chassis the qualities of which have made the name of the Ford a household word for reliable service and economy—less than 2c per mile.

Vegetables and Fruit J. D. RASMUSSEN, Sole Proprietor 107 W. Center Street Anaheim, California ANNUAL REPORT OF IMMIGRATION COMM. A Document Full of Useful Information And Interesting Matter The first annual report of the Commission of Immigration and Housing of California has been received. As the commission has been in existence for only a year its report is of more than usual interest in showing the scope of the work done and the value of the commission as a government asset of the state. After going through 125 pages of text, statistics and half-tone pictures of before and after conditions in labor camps, tenement houses and insanitary living quarters, etc., one is brought to the realization that this is one of the commissions vitally necessary for the protection and welfare of the immigrants, who need aid from the state more than any other class. The report shows that the lower stratas of society, those who depend on their manual labor for their support, and who least of all can afford to be the victims of impositions, are generally the ones most "exploited" by unconscionable rascals. The commission—composed of Simon J. Lupin, president, Sacramento; Rt. Rev. E. J. Hanna, vice president, San Francisco—work has been inaugurated the people of California may look forward to an onward march in the direction of protecting the laboring people against disgraceful abuses. The work of the commission has had a wide scope and the report covers many subjects directly affecting the foreign and laboring classes—naturalization, education, protection against sharks who preyed upon ignorant people by defrauding them in land deals, employment agencies, baggage robberies. There is no more serious problem, judging from the report of the commission, confronting the state than the assimilation and education of these alien workers. The work already done by the commission is an augury that the future is fill of bright promise for those humble people, who in past years have had little to encourage them that the state would take serious notice of their condition and would extend relief where it was needed.

The commission—composed of Simon J. Luhn, president, Sacramento; Rt. Rev. E. J. Hanna, vice president, San Francisco; Paul Scharrenburg, secretary, San Francisco; Mrs. Frank A. Gibson, Los Angeles, and Dr. J. H. McBride, Pasadena—has already done a large amount of beneficial work and has established broad lines for future usefulness and real assistance. The inspection and renovation of hundreds of tenement houses in the larger cities of California, the overhauling of cheap hotels and lodging houses, where thousands of poor people seek shelter and where ventilation was criminally lacking and disease germs and vermin fairly swarmed, the more than wretched conditions found to exist in labor camps throughout the state, the frauds and deceptions practiced upon ignorant foreigners and all classes of laboring people, which abuses the commission has largely corrected, make up a part of the report. To give emphasis to many of the wretched conditions that existed in the labor camps before the commission was created, half-tone pictures—actual photographs—are published. These not only show the foul and filthy makeshift that formerly prevailed, but also photographs are published of the sanitary cook-houses, screened mess tents, sleeping quarters, shower baths, toilets and other camp accessories adopted since the commission took the matter in hand of protecting these laboring people against the abuses herefore imposed on them. Now that this deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills. For Anaheim kidney sufferers have made their local reputation. Proof lies in the testimony of Anaheim people. Mrs. M. A. Armbruster, 425 W. Center St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "I was troubled by a weak back for a long time. When I worked hard, I had a burning sensation over my kidneys and my back seemed to give out. Four or five years ago I had one of these spells and was suffering intensely when a friend told me about Doan's Kidney Pills. I tried them and they brought quick and sure relief. I have always kept a supply on hand since. They act as a tonic and they make me feel better in every way when I take them. They have also benefited another of my family." Price 50c, at all dealers. Dont simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Armbruster had. Foster-Milburn Co.,Props.,Buffalo,N.Y.-Adv. The Committee of Ten held a meeting at the city hall on Wednesday to further discuss the civic center. It is proposed to increase the committee to fifty, and start a campaign of education looking to the accomplishment of more civic betterments. The gentlemen having affairs in charge are hustlers and have in view the placing of Anaheim up among the head of the procession of progressive communities. E. M. Baumgartner left Saturday for Richwood, Ohio.
