Thursday, July 29 We will give you $1056.48 Will you wait six years for a thousand dollars? Three dollars is a small sum. Most of us can spend it and as we say "not miss it." But we can't spend a thousand dollars without missing it. If you will deposit $3.00 a week in this savings bank for six years we will give you at the end of that time $1056.48. It is the regular systematic saver who succeeds. See our tabulated statement in our window showing the earning power of $1.00 to $10.00 deposited weekly for a period of ten years.

S. forest service in payment of the claim of Ranger J. B. Stephenson, stationed on the Cleveland national forest, partly in Orange county. One of Stephenson's horses was recently injured while working with a construction crew on the forest, and had to be shot. Satisfactory proof of loss was made to association headquarters in San Francisco and prompt payment was made to Mr. Stephenson. This insurance association is not a government institution, but was recently formed by the forest rangers of the California Nevada district of the federal forest service for the purpose of distributing the loss that occurs when saddle and pack animals owned by its members are killed or disabled. It is purely mutual in character, funds to pay losses being provided by means of a small quarterly HIDDEN WATERS OF MONTANA A special study of the underground water resources of Montana to meet the strong demand of its settlers and citizens for information as to where and how much water may be obtained in the state is announced by the U. S. geological survey. Those who are engaged in the great movement to settle the West and to bring about in that region a condition in which the vast stretches of now sparsely populated land shall more efficiently contribute to the support of the people of the United States, generally realize that of all the problems to be met and solved that of a water supply is likely to be the most critical. Yet it too often happens that people reared in the well watered East arrive in western states unprepared to meet the strikingly different conditions of aridity and alkalinity that immediately confront them. Their first need is to obtain water for domestic use and for stock, but the great problems of irrigation immediately follow. It is not only to new settlers, however, that one interest in the report more girls than schools, the element high schools have a total of 77 shown for the time the grammar show a total of.

It is purely mutual in character, funds to pay losses being provided by means of a small quarterly assessment. All forest officers of the district are eligible for membership in the association, each member being assessed a small amount to provide a fund from which to pay loss. The amount of the assessment depends on the losses incurred during a quarterly period. At present over two hundred horses are insured and it is expected that this number will be greatly increased during the summer, when the forest service will reach its maximum strength of from 800 to 900 men. FREE SUGAR THREATENS PROSERITY The sugar men of the Island are closing one of the most prosperous seasons. Their temporary prosperity is due entirely to circumstances wholly beyond their own control. Nothing short of a European war or an act of God could have turned their despair of a year ago into their present joy. After the European war is over Porto Rico will be in no better position to withstand free sugar than it was before the war began. The fact that the sugar mills will be in a better financial condition to withstand a few seasons of free sugar competition is not a permanent insurance for the industry in the Island and the prosperity of its people. Free sugar will ultimately bring ruin to the Island and misery to a million and a quarter people. An important part of this work will consist in collecting detailed well records and samples of well water for analysis. The data obtained will enable the survey to prepare a report for free distribution which will describe the occurrence and extent of the water-bearing formations and the general quantity of water that may be obtained in different localities.

HYATT The average cost per pupil for maintaining high schools in Orange county took a twenty per cent jump this last year over the year previous, and the average cost per pupil for running the elementary schools was seven and a half per cent greater. The average cost for operating the kindergarten at Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton, all there were in the county, dropped from $32.68 per pupil to $28.30 per pupil. The average cost per pupil for operating the high schools last year was $156.45; elementary schools, $42.56; kindergarten, $28.30. The cost per pupil the year previous was: high schools, $128.51; elementary, $39.78; kindergarten, $32.68. These figures are found in the annual report received by State Superintendent of Schools Hyatt from County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell. One interesting point to be found in the report is that while there are more girls than boys in the high schools, the boys are in the majority of girls; Huntington Beach, 2 boys, 14 girls; Orange, 15 boys, 14 girls; Santa Ana, 39 boys, 68 girls. Total, 86 boys, 142 girls, both 228. The enrollment by high schools is: Anaheim, 135 boys, 150 girls, all 285; Fullerton, 124 boys, 159 girls, all 283; Huntington Beach, 66 boys, 90 girls, all 156; Orange, 141 boys, 153 girls, all 294; Santa Ana, 309 boys, 424 girls, all 733. Total, boys, 775 girls, 976, both 1751. There are four private schools in the county, as follows: Garden Grove Seventh Day Adventist, 28 pupils; Lutheran Trinity school at Olive, 52; St. Catherine's Orphanage, Anaheim, 315; St. John's Lutheran, Orange, 148. SUGAR EXPORTS HEAVY The renewed purchasing of sugar in New York by England and France at the end of June, including the placing of an order for 55,000 tons of refined for July shipment, directs attention to the heavy inroads which European demand has made upon sugar stocks (drinarily seeking the American market) and to the influence which this factor is likely to continue to exert upon the price of sugar on both sides of the Atlantic. France has recently purchased 5,000 tons of refined in New York which will make July deliveries approximately 60,000 tons. Total purchases of European countries in the American market since the beginning of the war in August, 1914, amount approximately to 310,000 tons. During a similar period in 1913-14 prior to the war, Europe purchased only 19,600 tons in the American market. This indicates an increase of 1,600 per cent in exports due to war conditions. In addition to the purchases made in the United States, Europe has purchased from Cuba up to June 1 over 250,000 tons of this year's crop against 304,000 tons purchased last year. With girls; Huntington Beach, 2 boys, 14 girls; Orange, 15 boys, 14 girls; Santa Ana, 39 boys, 68 girls. Total, 86 boys, 142 girls, both 228. The board of supervisors from County Surveyor G. M. Pearson of Riverside which Pearson states that owing to the fact that the right of way across the Scully ranch in the Santa Ana canyon has not yet been settled, he cannot say when Riverside county will start the paving of its road in the canyon to meet the Orange county road. This county wants to do this paving at the same time that River side has the canyon closed. Pearson states in his letter that the stumbling block may be removed at any time. That is, the right of way matter may be settled at any time. A letter was received from the Mechants & Manufacturers' association calling attention to the condition of the main canyon road at Olive and t... The cost per pupil the year previous was: high schools, $128.51; elementary, $39.78; kindergarten, $32.68. These figures are found in the annual report received by State Superintendent of Schools Hyatt from County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell. One interesting point to be found in the report is that while there are more girls than boys in the high schools, the boys are in the majority in the elementary schools. Taking the high schools of the county altogether a total of 775 boys and 976 girls is shown for the last year. At the same time the grammar and primary schools show a total of 4259 boys to 4059 girls. In tae county as a whole the boys are in the majority in every grade except the first. By grades the totals are: First, 797 boys, 830 girls; second, 528 boys; 525 girls; third 543 boys; 528 girls; fourth, 585 boys; 544 girls; fifth, 491 boys, 462 girls; sixth, 349 girls; seventh, 414 boys; ninth, 381 boys; 345 girls. The total receipts for the elementary schools the last year was $569,079.46 and the year preceding $502,262.12; the total expenditures this last year $482,595.56 and $382,842.87 the year previous. Teachers salaries for last year reached $209,181.08, the year previous $184,728.50; contingencies last year $84,00.20, year previous $71,049.51; sites, building, furniture, last year $186,541.65, year previous $124,679.97; libraries last year $2,37263, year previous $2384.69. In the elementary schools of the county are 28 men teachers and 238 women teachers. The average salary paid to the men in the elementary schools is $1,101.16 and to women $745.52. The total value of all elementary school property in Orange county is $1,285,599. Statistics concerning the high schools follow: There are five high schools in the county, all of brick construction; 58 elementary schools, of which 47 are of wood, 7 of brick and 4 of concrete. There are 49 school districts in the county. The total valuation of all high school property is: Anaheim, $150,000; Fullerton, $298,000; Huntington Beach $54,000; Orange, $102,000; Santa Ana, $287,150. Total, $891,150. Rate of tax: Anaheim, for maintenance, 90c.; building, 26c.; Fullerton. During a similar period in 1913-14 prior to the war, Europe purchased only 19,600 tons in the American market. This indicates an increase of 1,600 per cent in exports due to war conditions. In addition to the purchases made in the United States, Europe has purchased from Cuba up to June 1 over 250,000 tons of this year's crop against 304,000 tons purchased last year. With substantial purchases yet to be made, it is practically certain that the total amount of this year's crop secured will be considerably in excess of last year's figures. This drain upon the resources of both Cuba and the United States has a direct effect upon our domestic surplus for this year, which in turn will be reflected in future sugar prices. According to Willett & Gray the combined domestic and Cuban crops for 1915 exceed the requirements of the American market by only 650,000 tons. As Europe has drawn on both countries so far for 560,000 tons, it is evident that the available supply will be little if any above actual requirements. Practically 80 per cent of the estimated surplus has already been absorbed. In addition to past purchases from the United States and Cuba, it is agreed by sugar experts that England, France and other foreign countries will have to continue to draw upon both these countries for further supplies, which may amount to 400,000 tons, including both centrifugal and refined, about evenly divided in amounts. The former will doubtless be purchased largely in Cuba and will considerably affect the United States supply from that quarter. The refined will have to be ordered in the American market, and if purchased before December 31, will completely wipe out this country's surplus of sugar from the 1914-15 crop. The effect of this drain upon the sugar supply of the United States will be to maintain the price of sugar to the consumer at or above the present level, and strikingly emphasizes the disadvantage to the American people of not producing all the sugar supply at home.

"There are now over 10,000 orange growers in the state, 1,100,000 bearing trees and 60,000 non-bearing trees. Planted so that they would touch each other, they would extend on both sides of an avenue around the globe, with enough left over to decorate the Lincoln highway for most of its distance. Laborers to the number of 20,000 are employed in the industry and 150,000 persons either directly or indirectly, receive their livelihood from it. The annual shipment of oranges out of the state is from 35,000 to 45,000 carloads. These oranges, piled in a solid tower 100 feet square would rise to an elevation eight times that of the Tower of Jewels. Where formerly weighed more than one ton per carload." ORANGE DAY CELEBRATION Orange day was celebrated at the San Francisco exposition some weeks ago in a manner commensurate with the importance of the orange industry in California. The gathering of members of the California Citrus Protective league and others who were interested in oranges was held in the Court of Abundance, while the character of the day, a sunny, fresh San Francisco invigorator, did much to make the celebration a success. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, who has been identified with the orange industry for over twenty years, was the official representative of the league and, in an illuminating address he pointed out the significance of the day and named the mileposts in the infant's history. An extract from his address follows: The orange has been a vast factor in the growth and development of California, in its wealth and its renown. California is in every way the union for the cultivation of oranges. Its mountains are giant bulwarks to guard the fertile valleys and to serve also as storehouses for water. The orange was introduced to California in the first half of the last century by the Catholic missionaries. It was in 1834 that they began to plant oranges outside the missions. In 1841 the first orchard for profit was planted in the heart of what is now the city of Los Angeles. It was not until the '70s, however, when the Washington navel orange was introduced, that the industry received any Lincoln highway for most of its distance. Laborers to the number of 20,000 are employed in the industry and 150,000 persons either directly or indirectly, receive their livelihood from it. The annual shipment of oranges out of the state is from 35,000 to 45,000 carloads. These oranges, piled in a solid tower 100 feet square would rise to an elevation eight times that of the Tower of Jewels. Where formerly we shipped only at certain seasons, there is now a continuous stream of oranges leaving California the year around for the markets in the east. Within certain limits birds eat the kind of food that is most accessible, especially when their natural food is scarce or wanting. Thus they sometimes injure the crops of the farmer who has unintentionally destroyed their natural food in his improvement of swamp or pasture. Most of the damage done by birds and complained of by farmers and fruit growers arises from this very cause. The berry bearing shrubs and seed bearing weeds have been cleared away, and the birds have no recourse but to attack the cultivated grain or fruit which have replaced their natural food supply. The great majority of land birds subsist upon insects during the period of nesting and molting, and also feed their young upon them during the first few weeks. Many species live almost entirely upon insects, taking vegetable food only when other subsisten e fails. It is thus evident that in the course of a year birds destroy an incalculable number of insects, and it is difficult to over estimate the value of their services in restraining the great tide of insect life.
