ORANGE COUNTY IN THE THICK OF THE FIGHT Orange county's delegation to the San Diego congressional convention returned defeated, but not disheartened, not disgraced. They were a potent factor in the deliberations of the convention, and were leaders, not followers. Neither L. A. West, the county's candidate, nor any of the delegates did anything for which they should be ashamed. We are proud of our candidate and proud of the delegation. Mr. West polled 81 votes on the fifth ballot. San Diego refused to wheel into line for him, and Orange county paid this compliment back to San Diego with interest double-fold. Orange county prevented the nomination of M. L. Ward on the 14th ballot, when the wabbly San Diegans, who stood only for a San Diego man against all others withdrew Wright and placed Ward in the field in his stead. Orange county on next ballot led the break for Harbison, who was nominated even though San Diego switched its 95 votes back to Wright. We are sincerely sorry Mr. West was defeated, but we are for Harbison now, first, last and all the time. We salute the returning delegates! Boys we are proud of you. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Citrus wins over bay and climate. But you, San Diego, never, never again! Say, you Orange county boys, you done noble! San Diego got a 40-pound torpedo under its coat tails. And Lyman King also ran. Where are you at, Lyman? Orange county is ready to go San Diego another one. Neither did Jim Needham get an endorsement for United States senator. If San Diego welches on Harbison, will it ever again ask for a nomination? Like the man from Timbuctoo, Orange county got in its deadly work twice. Stanley Reinhaus was the dude of the convention. My, Stan, how you have grown! San Diego slapped Orange county, and then Orange county spanked San Diego twice. Does San Diego county dominate this congressional district? Whoever told you so? How would a 10-round bout between Steve Kelly and Frank Miller do as the next attraction? Bry Williams, as the official spanker of the delegation, was a conspicuous success. Spank 'em, Bry!

'Tis a consummation Devotedly to be wished. To sleep, to dream—aye there's the rub, For in that sleep Cap Daniels' ghost may come If e'er I vote for Ward, or Wright, Or Needham, or Kirby, or Fay, Or any of the rest of the San Diego bunch. Who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Orange refusing to stand for Evans for Senator, The insolence of Kelly, and the spurns That patient merit which Jim Needham takes, When he himself might his quietus make By jumping in the bay off Coronado wharf. Who would these candidates bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread that something after this convention Might spill the beans for Evans. Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought Of Kelly's bunch. Enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard the delegates turn away, And lose a chance of winning out. Does San Diego county dominate this congressional district? Who ever told you so? How would a 10-round bout between Steve Kelly and Frank Miller do as the next attraction? Bry Williams, as the official spanker of the delegation, was a conspicuous success. Spank 'em, Bry! Does Cap Daniels' ghost come round the docks at the Glenwood Tavern dressed in his best suit of clothes? Oh, you, Frank Miller, thy memory must be short indeed! Does Cap Daniels' ghost rise from its grave to haunt thy slumbers? San Bernardino stood pat on Harbison, and won out, with old Boss Pete Kelly at the helm. Well, Harbison, put her there! San Diego ambushed Daniels, and now Frank Miller flirts with the men who threw Daniels down. Politics does make strange bedfellows, to be sure! Talking about wabbly delegations, what about Frank Miller and his Riversiders? Do they expect Orange to support Riverside's candidate for state senator? How about it? Dr. E. Pluribus Clark, of the River-side Press, seems a bit peeved because he was not a delegate to the San Diego convention, and says he knows at least one aspirant for congressional honors who kept out of the convention with a view to entering the primaries in August. Who is it? Miguel Estudillo?

(Enter Cap Daniels' Ghost) I am Cap Daniels' spirit, Doomed for a certain time to walk The floor of this San Diego convention, And to see to it that my Riverside brethren Do not break through the corral And support a candidate from the city of bay and climate. But that I am forbid I could a tale of woe unfold, Whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, Freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres; Thy knotted and combined locks to part, And each particular hair to stand on end, Like tomahawks in the hands of old Boss Kelly. Here Orange county leads the stampede to Harbison, the ghost disappears, and Miller beats it for the hills. The bureau of census has announced a special estimate showing that the United States has 21,000,000 male citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-five capable of rendering military service.

D. Schmelzer's friends called at the parsonage Monday and insisted upon taking her for an auto ride she did not suspect that a conspiracy was on foot, although it was her birthday. On her return she found that thirty members of the Lutheran church had assembled with baskets of eatables and had spread a feast in her honor at the school house. An enjoyable time was spent, especially as the friends had provided everything good to eat that anyone could think of. It was one of Mrs. Schmelzer's birthdays, but she declines to say which. William Schumacher yesterday filed his petition for re-nomination for the office of supervisor from the third district. It was signed by republicans and democrats alike, as Mr. Schumacher has the support of voters of all political affiliations. So far no other candidate has appeared, and he will probably sweep the district. Hilliario Martinez has sworn to a complaint charging three other Mexicans with robbing him of $10.75. He shows several wounds that look as though he had been pricked with a knife. If it's for chickens, we have it. Gardner's, 114 N.

In the present mobilization for service on the Mexican border that organization has all the opportunity it could desire to prove its right to recognition as a dependable national reserve force. And thus far the Guard has risen to the occasion admirably. There has been no repetition of the unwillingness and unreadiness that marked the militia of the three border states when it was called out a few weeks ago. In every state the guardsmen have responded eagerly and organizations not ordered out have felt aggrieved. All units not already complete are rapidly being recruited up to their full complement. In fact, recruiting for both the Guard and the regular army has been suddenly stimulated. These various state militia bodies are mustered into the national service, according to the new federal law. They are now under the orders of the president of the United States. It appears that they may even be sent into Mexico, by resolution of congress. Never before have American militiamen been liable for foreign service. Nearly every American hopes that such a step will not become necessary; but if it does, the effect on the Guard itself will no doubt be excellent. It will transfer that body into an organization of genuine soldiers, giving it a standing, a tradition and a confidence that will work wonders in its future development as an integral branch of our national defense. Even if its duties are confined to border patrol work, the experience will be invaluable. It will be worth years of armory drill and summer camps. The men will come back trained, hardened, disciplined and self confident—the kind of troops we need. FARMING AS A BUSINESS The principles which underlie profitable farming are not unlike those which underlie the profitable conduct of any other business. The difference is merely in the application. The one fundamental principle underlying all successful business undertakings is that the cost must be less than the selling price. In the operation of this principle agriculture is no exception. Farming, however, is such a complex business, and the different enterprises making up the farm unit are so intricately related, that it is often well-nigh impossible to determine the true cost or the true selling price of a farm product, and even when they are determined they are always subject to seasonal alterations. However, the relation of any factor in farming to the profits of the farm as a whole, by the study of a large group of farms, can be fairly accurately determined. This relation of the individual enterprise to the profits of the whole is perhaps the best guide to successful farming and to an understanding of the principles upon which good farm organization is based. OUR OLIVES BEST So rapidly is itnerest growing in the olive as a coming California industry—there are now more olive trees in California still too young to bear than bearing trees—that the University of California has enrolled 692 students in its free correspondence course on the olive, and 224 have finished the course. That California has practically a monopoly of the market for ripe olives is pointed out by Professor F. T. Bioletti of the University of California in this correspondence course. Particularly appropriate is it, therefore, for all Californians to aid the Rival baseball teams will be formed in the camp; polo will form one of the spectacular features of camp life; field and track events will be numerous, and, with every facility for aquatic sports, both in the big Del Monte natitorium and in Monterey bay, swimming contests will be encouraged in every way.

DRUNKEN DRIVER Charged with driving an automobile while intoxicated, Edward Herriges of Los Angeles was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Harold Counts while he was driving his machine over the Long Beach-Seal Beach boulevard at the alleged rate of over fifty miles an hour. Herriges' drive came to an end when he rammed a heavy touring car on the road near Naples at a dangerous curve, wrecking both machines. It is said by the officers that the motorist crowded several other autoists off the highway, and one of these happened to be Deputy Sheriff Counts, who immediately took up the chase of the alleged violator of the law. Before he overtook him, however, Herriges collided with the other car and was picked up with three crushed ribs and several bad cuts and bruises. He was arrested and taken to a Los Angeles hospital. A bottle tossed from a litney broke on the state highway and cut a tire on a machine driven by J. E. Stroup. That led to an investigation conducted in considerable detail by Policeman John Ryan of the Santa Ana police force, with the result that Ryan located the youth who threw the bottle, and a fine of $25 was imposed. Orange has a home guard of 26 citizens under the leadership of Constable Logan Jackson. All members of the guard are expert rifle shots and all are armed with rifles and automatic revolvers, and are ready to respond to a riot call at a moment's notice. The Orange County Plain Dealer this week passes into possession of R. There are now more olive trees in California still too young to bear than bearing trees—that the University of California has enrolled 692 students in its free correspondence course on the olive, and 224 have finished the course. That California has practically a monopoly of the market for ripe olives is pointed out by Professor F. T. Bloletti of the University of California in this correspondence course. Particularly appropriate is it, therefore, for all Californians to aid the good cause. In southern Europe ripe olives are produced, but only for local consumption. One of the great contributions of the university to the agricultural prosperity of the state was the discovery by the experiment station of successful methods of canning and bottling ripe olives, and the result has been to win for this state an industry in which Europe has not been able to compete. In the university's correspondence course on the olive it is pointed out that to clip the tips from the olive pits before planting will save practically a year in the growth of seedlings. This free correspondence course gives instruction in the preparing of the seedbed, the planting of the seeds, the care of the seedlings, the preparation of the orchard, the setting out of the trees, cultivation, green manuring with cover crops, irrigation, pruning, the top working of old trees so that unprofitable varieties may be worked over into profitable strains, the making of olive oil and ripe olives, pickling olives, and on the much needed matter of standardization of the sizes of olives for market purposes. California olive orchards promise an immensely long life of usefulness, according to the university, for in Europe olive trees hundreds of years old are still producing profitable crops. Alois Kitzer, an Anaheim rancher, was last week swindled out of $500 in Los Angeles in a bunco game. The police have not been able to locate the sharpers. D. W. McDaugual writes from Los Angeles that the Beers brothers picked a snap in a 20-acre tract near Anaheim, and felt so proud of their good fortune that the ordinary method of transmitting the news was not speedy enough by half, and even the electric current was none too swift. Mr. Sober is so well pleased with his $11,000 investment near the Mother Colony. Twenty-one solid silver cups, the finest that money can buy, already have been donated for various athletic events, for shooting, etc., by George O. Knapp, of Santa Barbara, S. M. Spalding of Los Angeles and the Civil Enrollment committee for the camp, and a committee representative of all sections from which camp enrollments come, will have supervision of athletic events at the encampment. It is guaranteed that most of the men who go into camp on July 10 physically soft will, if they conscientiously perform their military duties and enter into athletic contests for which they are best fitted, leave Monterey August 5 more physically fit than they have been for many years. Take it altogether it is going to be an ideal outing for patriotic men who want their vacation this summer to answer a double purpose; fit themselves to be of some value to their country should their country ever be invaded, and fit themselves to be better citizens in time of peace through gaining that physical and mental alertness only military life in the open can give a man. The work of erecting the big tent on the 400-acre camp ground is proceeding rapidly under the direction of regular army officers. The United States army always has proceeded under the theory that in any military encampment, no matter how temporary, the greatest possible amount of comfort should be given men under canvas that unnecessary hardships Orange has a home guard of 26 citizens under the leadership of Constable Logan Jackson. All members of the guard are expert rifle shots and all are armed with rifles and automatic revolvers, and are ready to respond to a riot call at a moment's notice. The Orange County Plain Dealer this week passes into possession of R. W. Ernest, an experienced newspaper man lately arrived from the East. Miss Anna Valjean who has had charge of the paper since the death of her father 2 years ago, retires from the newspaper field. The new proprietor announces that the Plain Dealer will be independent in the future. We extend a welcome to Mr. Ernest and his newspaper force. Thousands of persons gathered at the River station at Los Angeles on Tuesday to see the Seventh regiment pass through and to offer the boys parting gifts. The crowd began to gather at 6 o'clock in the morning, and many of the first comers, who had friends in the regiment, remained until the arrival of the troop trains at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Owing to the mystery which the government sees fit to hedge about the movement of the troops no information would be given out relative to the arrival of the trains. When the trains finally arrived, an effort was made to prevent the waiting people seeing the boys, but Mrs. Col. Schreiber headed a boarding party, overpowered the guards, and crowded around the trains. The officers said it would be necessary to charter a car to carry the presents showered upon the boys.

Mr. Sober is so well pleased with his $11,000 investment near the Mother Colony, that he is using all his persuasive powers to induce others of his kin to go and do likewise. Manager Mozart has added another picture machine to the equipment of the New Grand theatre, and hereafter there will be no delay between pictures on the screen. Eight patriots, who permitted their enthusiasm to get the better of their judgment, were lodged in the city jail Tuesday. Five of them are Mexicans and three Americans. All of them were arrested on minor charges, the most serious case being that of a Mexican named Castro, who exhibited a hawk-billed knife and announced his intention of carving the liver out of any man who disagreed with him. The police consider the day's record remarkable inasmuch as there were 500 strange Mexicans in town, attracted here by the dance and the rodeo exhibition. MONTEREY CAMP Athletic events of all kinds voluntarily entered into by all those who care to participate, are going to form an important part of the life of the army military camp of instruction for civilians to open at Monterey July 10 and which will last over four weeks.
