FOR A NEW CITY HALL On Friday, Dec. 17, the people of Anaheim will vote on a proposition to sell $30,000 of municipal bonds for the purpose of erecting a new city hall on the site of the present structure. More than a year ago the trustees decided that a new building was necessary as the old one was inadequate to the needs of the growing town, it was inconvenient and unsafe. The plans which met the favor of the board called for a building costing approximately $30,000. This structure would cover all the ground occupied by the present city hall and the two-story brick adjoining it on the corner of Center and Claudina streets, and would extend back to the alley. Preparations were making for calling a bond election when the advocates of a civic center came to the front and began agitating the question of purchasing the entire block on which the public library stands, and the erection of all city buildings thereon. This halted proceedings for a time while the question was being threshed out among the citizens, but the trustees finally proposed to the committee of fifty representing the civic center forces, that both propositions be placed on the ballot, and the voters be permitted to decide which they preferred. This test the proponents of the civic center declined, consequently the board arranged for a vote on the original idea to build a new hall on the old site.

This test the proponents of the civic center declined, consequently the board arranged for a vote on the original idea to build a new hall on the old site. The plans call for a splendid building fronting on both Center and Claudina streets. There will be offices for each of the officials. The city clerk and rate collector will be on the ground floor. The jail will be in the rear with a long corridor leading to the recorder's court room on the second floor. The fire department will have handsome quarters opening on Claudina street. There will also be a rest room and lavatory for ladies. The people will decide on the 17th whether or not they want it. It requires a two-third vote to carry the bonds. The city trustees feel that a larger and more ornate building is necessary for the needs of the growing city, and they urge all friends of progress to support the bonds.

This event will occur December 6th and has been brought about through the enterprise of P. J. Weisel proprietor of P. J. Weisel's Garage, who has secured the services of one of the most prominent lecturers on extreme automobile design and construction. This genius in entertainment, will come to Anaheim at Weisel's Garage next Monday and during the afternoon and evening give a free lecture illustrative of all that is desirable and best in the latest models of motor cars. The lecturer will use a stripped chassis of a Dodge Bros. motor car as an investment and shows how all persons who are normally in their right minds intend some day to be the proud owner of a motor car. Under those conditions he feels that the automobile should be of interest to many that are contemplating buying at some future time, and the money one will receive back from an investment in a motor car after the use of two or three years deducted from the original pay- The following names compose the list of honor students of A.

He takes for instance the automobile as an investment and shows how all persons who are normally in their right minds intend some day to be the proud owner of a motor car. Under those conditions he feels that the automobile should be of interest to many that are contemplating buying at some future time, and the money one will receive back from an investment in a motor car after the use of two or three years deducted from the original payment made for the car, equals what is called depreciation and when this depreciation is added to what the car cost you to run, in oil, gasoline, tires etc., you are acquainted now with what it has cost you to operate an automobile for the length of time you have possessed it. This is what he calls paying for a mode of transportation, and the most successful mode of transportation that the public has ever been introduced to is today acquiring such proportions that it is becoming a staple article in a large proportion of the homes in this country. Therefore, you owe it to yourself and family to hear this illustrious demonstrator lecture upon a matter that is of such vital importance to almost every man, woman and child. OVER IRRIGATION WASTE OF WATER Don't waste water by over-irrigating. This is the lesson of studies made at the university farm by irrigation investigations of the United States department of agriculture in cooperation with the University of California agricultural experiment station and the state engineering department. It was shown that loam soils are wefted to great depths by very small quantities of water, and that larger quantities are in large part mere waste. Besides her citrus irrigators and many peppers and many ducks, her walnuts tendonation although there as coming from Orchard last year was worth $3,500,000 and $300,000. These are her staple land products of them can be produced quality and quantity hardino county only ing much attention Orange county or $3,000,000 besides. But what please usasm of Orange county don't always wait to products. They seem something to exhibit are willing to pay the Orange county people here than any other not even excepting many times her pots the showing of process fornia building,the splendid exhibit in palace.The nuts are tract a great deal of special assistant to presentative.is stationary questions about Orchard I see so many eveterprise of that course me to wonder if they on why Orange county selling for $500 to $1 acre.They actually have a farmer from them what chili pepper a worth.He said he his neighbor $1000 per a adjoined his ranch it. Who's Hazel? During 1913, 1914, and 1915, some 2300 samples of soil have been taken immediately before and about three days after irrigation. By carefully drying these samples, the amounts of water held by each foot of soil to a depth of six feet have been determined. It is thus possible to ascertain how much water each foot of soil retains from a given irrigation. Each plat reported below received four irrigations per season. Quantities of water varying from six to twelve inches in depth were applied at one time. The plats which received six-inch irrigations retained in the upper six feet of soil 4.43 inches or 75 per cent of the amount applied. With 7.5 inch applications, 5.10 inches or 68 per cent was retained, and of the 9-inch applications, 5.46 inches, or only 61 per cent, was held by the upper six feet of soil. When 12 inches were applied at one time, only 6.68 inches, or 56 per cent, was retained, and yet many irrigators apply 15 to 20 inches per irrigation. In all probability much of the water used in the 12-inch applications passed far beyond the reach of the majority of alfalfa roots. Every irrigator should use a soil auger. A few borings shortly after irrigation has often revealed startling conditions. Eggs. If your hens are not laying as you think they should, perhaps there is something they need. A visit to our poultry supply department may help solve the problem. We carry a complete line of poultry supplies and will be pleased to give you any desired information regarding poultry. H. H.

CREDIT TO ORANGE COUNTY I cannot help mentioning the splendid showing made by Orange county, writes the editor of the Colton Courier from the San Francisco exposition. Besides her citrus fruits and beans and peppers and many other garden products, her walnuts attract much attention, although they are not labeled as coming from Orange county, and the rest of us get much of the credit. The walnut crop of Orange county last year was worth $1,500,000 and her beans over $2,000,000. Sugar beets $3,500,000 and her chill peppers $300,000.

Mrs.E.J.Castillo of Independence, Kansas came in last Wednesday on a Besides her citrus fruits and beans and peppers and many other garden products, her walnuts attract much attention, although they are not labeled as coming from Orange county, and the rest of us get much of the credit. The walnut crop of Orange county last year was worth $1,500,000 and her beans over $2,000,000. Sugar beets $3,500,000 and her chill peppers $300,000. These are only a few of her staple land products and each one of them can be produced in as good quality and quantity right in San Bernardino county, only we are not paying much attention to some of them. Orange county oranges brought over $3,000,000 besides. But what pleases me is the enthusiasm of Orange county people. They don't always wait to be asked to send products. They send word they have something to exhibit and most often are willing to pay the expenses. More Orange county people visit the booth here than any other southern county, not even excepting Los Angeles with many times her population. Besides the showing of products in the California building, the county makes a splendid exhibit in the horticulture palace. The nuts and fruits there attract a great deal of attention and a special assistant to the county representative, is stationed there to answer questions about Orange county. I see so many evidences of the enterprise of that county that it leads me to wonder if they furnish the reason why Orange county farm lands are selling for $500 to $1,000 and more per acre. They actually sell, too. I asked a farmer from there the other day, what chill pepper and bean land was worth. He said he had just offered a neighbor $1000 per acre for some that adjoined his ranch and could ont get it. Who's Hasel? Your Druggist?
