LIMA BEAN GROWERS GET GOOD PRICES Association Fixes Figure at $5.30 Per Sack Tuesday the California Lima Bean Growers' association, which controls two-thirds of the lima bean output of California, fixed prices. These prices are subject to change without notice to anyone but upon these prices contracts for delivery will be made until the prices are changed. The association directors met in Ventura county, W. C. Jerome representing this section. Reports showed that the association has already sold 275,000 bags of limas of a total holding of 1,000,000 bags. It is estimated that the entire output of the state will be 1,300,000 bags. Prices are excellent and the prospects are that they will go higher. The association agreed to contract for delivery in November and December at $5.30; for prompt delivery which means within ten days at $5.375,and for immediate delivery which means within five days at $5.425. "The reports showed a big crop everywhere," says Mr. Jerome. "and they also showed a splendid condition of the market. The formation of the association has made conditions far better for the growers,and it is largely responsible for the fact that beans are worth as much as they are. Last year's average price was $4.43." Growers of this section who have not sold their beans will do well to watch the Growers' association quotation on prices for those prices are the ones that prevail. Reports from the San Joaquin ranch show that this year's crop is threshing out as big as the crop of two years ago which was a record crop. William Whitehead's lease on the San Joaquin turned out an average of 20.5 sacks to the acre each sack weighing 80 pounds. Whitehead is farming 146 acres,and the threshers turned out 8000 sacks from the lease. Other reports from the San Joaquin will be four cents per wine containing of alcohol，10 c wines containing not exceeding 21% per gallon where exceeds 21% and at the lion for the proof wines having an excess of 24%.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1916 STAMP TAX REPEALED BY NEW STATUTES Unused Stamps Will be Refunded by Internal Revenue Office in Los Angeles Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 8, 1916 Anaheim Gazette, Anaheim, Calif.

FORMER ANAHEIM MAN GUILTY OF COUNTERFEITING Charles De Zelle Convicted in Los Angeles Court of Making Spurious Money After wrestling all day on the question of the guilt or innocence of Edward and Charles de Zelle, charged with having counterfeit tools in their possession, a jury in the court of Judge Edward E. Cuchman at Los Angeles Wednesday returned a verdict of guilty against the son, Charles de Zelle, and as to the father, not guilty on two counts of the indictment, and a disagreement as to the other of the three counts. The boy did not go on the stand at all, and the father denied that he knew anything of the son's having the printing press, camera, negatives, etc., alleged to have been used at the various places the De Zelles have lived in Santa Monica, Anaheim, Alhambra and Los Angeles in the printing of $5 Indian head silver certificates. The De Zelles lived in Anaheim for three months, occupying the house of Clem Amberg on South Claudina street. Mr. Amberg was astonished, after their arrest in Los Angeles, to learn that they had been engaged in the counterfeiting business. He saw no evidences of it, and declares they were model tenants. When they left Anaheim the young man told Mr. Amberg that he was tired of wine. At last the welcome news has been announced that the youngsters and oldsters of this vicinity will have an opportunity to visit the Barnum & Bailey greatest show on earth. This great circus will be within easy traveling distance when it exhibits in Santa Ana on September 29. This year Barnum & Bailey announce an all new novelty circus, composed of more foreign acts than ever before. An important feature is the new, Oriental spectacular pageant "Persia, or the Pageants of The Thousand and One Nights." In this gorgeous display more than 1350 persons participate. The Oriental music incidental to the production is rendered by 350 musicians, and 3,500 costumes are worn in the various actions of the pageant. The circus program will be one of unusual novelty and variety. More than 480 arenic artists will appear in the various acrobatic, aerial and riding numbers, and an army of fifty of the funniest clowns on earth will keep the audience convulsed with laughter. Among the new acts to be offered for the first time this season are four great troupes of Chinese artists, presenting a complete Chinese circus, replete with thrilling aerial and acrobatic feats. The famous Hanneford family, champion riders of Europe, are another new importation, as is also Signor Bagonghi, Italy's famous dwarf equestrian. More than 20 trained animal acts will be included in the program, headed by Pallenberg's two marvelous troupes of trained bears. The Barnum & Bailey Circus is larger this season than ever before and requires 89 cars to transport it. It carries 1,400 persons, 785 horses and a greatly enlarged menagerie of 108 cages and 41 elephants. MORE AMERICAN SUGAR One of the best statistical authorities estimates the present production of beet sugar at not less than 2,000,000 pounds a year. It is gaining rapidly and the beet sugar mills are very prosperous. Their good fortune is shared by the large number of farmers who grow sugar beets. This fine industry promises relief from the dependence upon imported sugar which has always left the American people at the mercy, as sugar consumers, of conditions outside their own country. If the beet sugar supply of the United States increases in the gales with water. The Mexicans have made numerous threats to blow up the pump, so a villiant guard is kept all the time. This consists of three outposts of five men each, and eight men on the road on both sides of the pump. After 7 p.m. the rifles are loaded and CASH PRIZES OFFERED FOR BEST GRAPE ESSAY The directors of the California Grape Protective association believe there are thousands of families in this state in the homes of which the gospel of temperance is preached, but not that of prohibition. Acting on this belief we would like to hear what the boys and girls attending school have to say about the proposal for prohibition in California. The radical and intemperate side of the issue has been appealed to and has been heard from, and we now wish to hear from some of those who have been taught moderation and temperance in all things pertaining to living. This association has decided to offer for the most meritorious essays, not exceeding five hundred words in length, three prizes, the first $100, teh second $65, and the third-$35 in cash. Those eligible to competition will be the pupils of a grammar or high school sugar at not less than 2,000-4,000 pounds a year. It is gaining rapidly and the beet sugar mills are very prosperous. Their good fortune is shared by the large number of farmers who grow sugar beets. This fine industry promises relief from the dependence upon imported sugar which has always left the American people at the mercy, as sugar consumers, of conditions outside their own country. If the beet sugar supply of the United States increases in the next five years as it has expanded in the five just past there will be little need of foreign sugar. But the beet sugar mills would have been closed or facing utter ruin if war conditions had not saved them from the folly of the unfriendly majority in congress. The tariff bill now in force was written and passed to leave the sugar industry without protection and the only thing which averted its destruction was the urgent need of more revenue for the national government, coming at the same time that the war cut off the German sugar supply from America and created conditions which forbade even the present congress and the Wilson administration to carry into effect the plans approved and enacted into law for leaving the sugar industry helpless and hopeless. As it is, the expansion of the beet sugar business in this country would have been still greater if the future has been entirely free from the doubts involved in the political situation. It will go ahead faster and with wider development after the election of Governor Hughes next November. Company L boys of the Seventh regiment are not spending all their time in idleness. The company has been detailed to guard the pump on the Santa Cruz river which supplies No-gales with water. The Mexicans have made numerous threats to blow up the pump, so a villiant guard is kept all the time. This consists of three outposts of five men each, and eight men on the road on both sides of the pump. After 7 p.m. the rifles are loaded and everyone is halted and taken past the pump by relay from one guard to another. If anyone refuses to halt upon the second command the orders were to fire. As the water supply is one of the essential things to be guarded, and being located only a mile or so from the border, this comes the closest to real service that they have seen yet. Favor Harbor Lines: Congressman William Kettner of San Diego and Maj. George B. Pillsbury, United States Engineer for the Los Angeles district, visited Newport Beach Mnday to meet representatives of the Orange county chamber of commerce and residents of Newport Beach and discuss harbor matters. Under these upervision of Maj. Pillsbury, a hearing was held for the purpose of determining the wishes of Orange county citizens regarding the establishment of harbor lines. Congress recently authorized the setting of harbor lines at Newport, but it was left discretionary with the secretary of war whether there should be established at this time the bulkhead lines, the pier head lines, or both. The general expression of opinion was that it is desirable to establish the full harbor lines at this time, and a report of this expression of sentiment will be forwarded by Maj. Pillsbury.
