79TH BIRTHDAY REMEMBERED BY FRIENDS OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF WATER COMPANY SURPRISE THEIR PRESIDENT, WM. CROWTHER ENJOYABLE AFFAIR AT HIS PLACEMENT AVENUE HOME ON WEDNESDAY EVENING Wednesday, Oct. 4, William Crowther, president of the Anaheim Union Water company, reached his 79th birthday. Mr. Crowther was reminded of the fact by observing that his daughter, Miss Ruby, was roasting a turkey and making other preparations for a festive time, but supposed it was to be a family gathering. Early in the evening E. K. Benchley of Fullerton, dropped in and offered congratulations, being followed a few minutes later by H. H. Hale, one of the directors of the water company, Still Mr. Crowther was unconscious of anything unusual in the atmosphere, but when R. J. McFadden, superintendent of the water company, W. T. Wallop, the secretary, E. E. Keech, attorney and W. L. Diemling arrived, he suspicioned that a conspiracy was on foot, and was convinced of it when J. J. Dwyer, G. W. Sherwood, T. L. McFadden, E. E. Beasley and J. C. Thamer, the other members of the directorate, walked in. An orchestra of which Walter and Ed Crowther are members also showed up. VAUDEVILLE AT NEW GRAND THEATRE EXPERIMENT PROVES TO BE A HIT AND WILL BE CONTINUED BY MANAGER MOZART LARGE HOUSES CONTINUE TO GREET THE GREAT PLAYS AT THAT POPULAR HOUSE Those who love sensations with their moving picture entertainment will have their fill in the Bluebird to be exhibited at the New Grand on Friday and Saturday under the title of "The Gay Lord Waring." J. Warren Kerrigan plays the role of a spend-thrift scion of English nobility who goes through a series of wild adventures in his ceaseless efforts to obtain money to gratify his penchant for high living. One of the most realistic scenes—and realistic, too—is the burning of a house and the rescue of two people by the hero of the story. Theatrical effect is heightened by every device known to the craft; as flames consume a handsome residence, great crowds stand around excitedly suggesting means to aid the imprisoned people; others form bucket brigades and dash into the smoke filled house in an effort to quench the fire. Meanwhile nothing practical is done until Lord Waring appears upon the screen and then things happen. Presumably because he has come to a years of age, all pictures in rescuers are exciting. But he proves other vaudeville these days. To for the Grand, hit, as nothing are employed. Last night Bruce and Miss Devil at his Elk peated to lighten story of how was saved from of the streets.

Thamer, the other members of the directorate, walked in. An orchestra of which Walter and Ed Crowther are members also showed up and added to the gaiety of the occasion. Although he has lived nine years beyond the scriptural allotment of the age of man, Mr. Crowther is still hale and hearty and shows no signs of old age. He has lived a busy life and bids fair to have many years of usefulness still before him. He has been president of the Anaheim Union Water company for twenty years, and the fact that the directors of that big concern refuse to permit him to retire is an indication that his management has been able and efficient. Mr. Crowther is one of the pioneer walnut growers of Southern California. He came here in an early day and began the culture of walnuts at a time when the industry was only an experiment. He had faith in the industry and stuck to it. His splendid ranch on Placentia avenue is one of the largest and finest walnut ranches in the county, and is a justification of his faith. He came here at a period when men of good judgement and indomitable spirit were needed to develop the wonderful possibilities of Southern California, and he has always taken a prominent part in the work. He has lived here nearly half a century, and has passed over some strenuous days, but he was always equal to every emergency. Mr. Crowther has a host of friends throughout Orange county, especially the northern section, who will join with the directors and officers of the water company in extending congratulations and best wishes. A report at Seal Beach indicates that Charles Newcombe will shortly start building of a hangar at Anaheim Landing, and will start a school of instruction for students wishing to become machinists for filers. Thor Paulson, formerly instructor with Christoferson Brothers at Oakland, and now in the employ of Joe Boquel, will join him, it is stated. Effect is heightened by every device known to the craft; as flames consume a handsome residence, great crowds stand around excitedly suggesting means to aid the imprisoned people; others form bucket brigades and dash into the smoke filled house in an effort to quench the fire. Meanwhile nothing practical is done until Lord Waring appears upon the screen and then things happen. Presumably because he has come to a time when he must commit suicide in order that certain stipulations shall be fulfilled, his Lordship is a most rockless person. Wetting towels which he blinds over his nose and mouth he recklessly braves the smoke and flames. First he is seen in the act of rescuing a crippled girl who has fallen insensible on the floor, overcome by smoke. With the girl safe he makes a second rush into the burning building and drags forth the old man—but he fails to save his life and, consequently, the story is able to reach a most satisfactory ending. For, if the old man had lived, the dashing hero would have been compelled to commit suicide—and in these days of happy endings for moving picture stories most "fans" will agree that it is better to swap a mean old miser for a handsome leading man that hero and heroine may live happily ever after. Two more reels of "Liberty," the Mexican border story which is thrilling all the patrons of the Grand, will also be given Friday and Saturday night and Saturday afternoon. Liberty the girl from U. S. A., is having a strenuous time among the bandits. Sunday, afternoon and evening, Lucille Lee Stewart will appear in a fine feature, "His Wife's Good Name." Manager Mozart has been fortunate in securing this three weeks ahead of Los Angeles, and it will be shown in Anaheim for the first time on the coast. Fashion hints from gay Paree and New York are found in abundance in "His Wife's Good Name." The model for most of the attractive creations is Lucille Lee Stewart. Already is this young lady gaining the reputation for being one of the best dressed women upon the screen, and fairly, too, for Miss Stewart wears any number of beautiful gowns in this feature film.

IRA SMITH GIVES LUNCHEON ATTENDANTS INTERESTING ADDRESS ON NATIVE PRODUCT ADVOCATES THE HOLDING OF A REDWOOD DAY THROUGHOUT THE STATE Ira C. Smith, representative of California Redwood association, made an address at the business men's luncheon on Thursday, which proved highly interesting to the large crowd present. Mr. Smith said there has been orange days, raisin days, olive days, and many other kinds of days, but we have never had a redwood day, and since redwood is strictly a California product he believes it would be in order to have the citizens of this great and glorious state to arrange for one. Mr. Smith represents a number of redwood manufacturers in this state and travels extensively in the interests of these companies, expounding the many virtues of redwood as a building material. "California redwood lives forever," said Mr. Smith. "The living power, the resistance to decay, is a necessary quality in building materials. Redwood has the living power under severe conditions of moisture or heat, or the alternate moist and dry rotation which quickly set the forces of decay in motion, its, therefore, a highly desirable and necessary any other wood, and lasting almost indefinitely under the trying condition, of being placed in contact with the ground and subject to alternate wetness and dryness. It is conceded by all architects and builders as without an equal for exterior boarding, finish and shingling; its durability has been demonstrated in thousands of instances, whether painted or not, to be very great. Redwood is without an equal, because it will not shrink endwise, or in any other direction. When properly painted, will show less change where exposed to weather than any other lumber. Being free from pitch it takes paint well. Redwood is the only wood that should be used for interior finish because the finest rooms can be finished in the natural wood. It takes a fine polish, especially if given two coats of shellac, and then a wax finish on top. It is the easiest wood to work, is beautiful in color, and all admit that the curly and burl are the finest of any woods. Panels of three feet in width can be used without shrinkage if necessary. California redwood is made fire resistant by nature. It does not contain pitch—the principal inflammable element in wood—and because of this it is the safest wood to use. Because of the enormous size of redwood trees, the logs are very heavy—a 16-foot butt log weighs from 30 to 50 tons—it is very difficult to handle them when the ground is littered with bark, undergrowth and tops. To get rid of this waste, or "slash" as the lumbermen calls it, he simply set it on fire. The slash burns off but the logs do not burn. They come through this test by fire, which lasts from 8 to 10 hours, with merely a slight char on the sapwood on their exterior. It is a remarkable fact that the area of the great conflagration in San Francisco in 1906 was fringed in places... exportation of war supplies has anything to do with the country's prosperity. It has enabled the administration to bolster up the failing revenues by levying a tax on munitions. It is used to demonstrate the sagaciousness of President Wilson in upholding the rights of American citizens on the high esas. It is given as the reason, by way of apology to the pacifists, for the belated recognition by the administration of the need of preparedness. It affords a convenient explanation why anything in the last three years has gone wrong, although it accounts in no way for anything that has gone right. President Wilson may display an abhorrence of war, but for his campaign managers the word seems to have a seductive and cheering sound. REMOVING OUR FLAG FROM THE PACIFIC By increasing the cost of operation and thus making it impossible for American ships to compete profitably with those of Japan, the La Follette seamen's act compelled withdrawal of ships carring our flag, from service on the Pacific ocean. This was distinctly in favor of Japan whose government and ship companies did not fall to take advantage of our law-makers' unwise action. It is not surprising that official reports at Toklo show a remarkable growth of Japan's ocean trade in the six months that ended with June. The increase of exports was 56 per cent, with a large addition for goods sent to the United States, while the greatest ratio of increase, 140 per cent, was seen in the shipments to South America. New ships were added to those already carrying goods to the countries south of us. From our ports steel was taken to be used in making more ships. And the Japanese government is striving in many ways to foster and encourage the trade movement that what has been gained shall be held after the close of the war. The entire seamen's act should be repealed, or those parts of it which removed that flag from the Pacific should be cut off. The Mother Colony Club, at its annual election, elected the following officers: President, Herman Stern; travels extensively in the interests of these companies, expounding the many virtues of redwood as a building material. "California redwood lives forever," said Mr. Smith. "The living power, the resistance to decay, is a necessary quality in building materials. Redwood has the living power under severe conditions of moisture or heat, or the alternate moist and dry rotation which quickly set the forces of decay in motion, its therefore, a highly desirable and necessary attribute in building material. It makes wood possessing rot defiance preferable because it means service, safety, dependency and economy. Redwood gives this service. "California redwood possesses a living power of uncequal by any other wood. This is not a mere statement, but a fact demonstrated in the great age of the tree itself (for scientists have named it Sequoia sempervirens) which means ever-living) and more than 100 years experience with redwood lumber in California under all sorts of severe service. Cabins built by the Russians (the first settlers in California) in 1811, 105 years ago are still in use at Fort Ross. These cabins are built in exposed places in the fog belt, where for many months in each year they are subjected to rain, fog and the sweeping winds of the Pacific, and during the dry season to the heat of the sun. Redwood fence posts, dug up after 75 to 100 years of service show no signs of decay. "In one place a redwood that was 600 years old when blown down was found. There grew up around this tree another redwood that, when felled by the woodsmen, was found to have been 900 years old. In spite of the fact that the fallen log lay on the ground for 900 years it was sound and healthy, and was cut into commercial lumber. These are not uncommon instances in the woods." "Redwood is the lumber from the "Big Trees" of California. These trees range in age from 500 to 3000 years. They grow in the fog belt along the shore line north of San Francisco Bay to Oregon. Redwood thrives in moisture; it is essential to its healthy life. It is taken in through the roots, the bark and the foliage. Not only are the Redwoods free from decay-producing diseases, but boring worms and insects, common enemies to other species of wood, do not attack." Mr. Smith's labors take him to all parts of the United States and Europe. With the California rice harvest at hand, the State Agricultural Society is gathering data to show where the crop of this State is taking the place of the Japanese product. It is found that California rice makes many other products, and participates in flour production as well as filling larly is this true of the rice used for malting purposes by breweries of the State. Several large breweries tried out California rice for the first time during the past year and found it so much better than that imported from the Orient that large orders have been placed for this season's supply from the output of the local growers. The rice used for malting purposes will reach a considerable figure this year. The standard weight of bread for the State has been fixed at 12 and 24 ounces net weight. This weight is to be rigidly enforced and Charles G. Johnson, superintendent of weights and measures has sent out instructions to the different weights and measures to this effect. All objections on the part of the bakers have been met and their cooperation has been pledged. An extensive educational campaign has been conducted so that endorsement has been given to the fixing of a standard weight as the only medium through which the bakers can obtain 50 tons—it is very difficult to handle them when the ground is littered with bark, undergrowth and tops.

It is a remarkable fact that the area of the great conflagration in San Francisco in 1906, was fringed in places with unburned redwood houses and railroad freight sheds.

A DISMAL FAILURE The Underwood tariff law has been the most dismal failure of any revenue legislation in the history of the country. The Democrats boasted during the campaign "we will reduce the cost of living," "we will take the taxes off the people." The Wilson administration jammed the Underwood tariff law through Congress and in one year more than three million men were out of work, the cost of living was higher than ever before, and it has since steadily increased. The next day after the Underwood tariff law was passed Mr. Underwood said it would do four things: Reduce the cost of living, would not disturb the business of the country, would increase our foreign trade, and would collect revenue sufficient to run the government. It has done none of these tings, so glibly promised. The Underwood tariff took from the dutiable list and put on the free list cattle, sheep, wool, beef, mutton, corn, eggs, milk, and cream. It put wheat and potatoes on the free list conditionally. It reduced by about 60 per cent the tariff rates on horses, poultry, oats, hay, cheese, and butter. These reductions were followed by a theory was that reduced tariff duties on farm products would bring foreign farm products into our markets to force down prices to the consumers. Foreign products did come and the price to the farmers was forced down. But the prices of food products to the consumer were not reduced. The only beneficiaries of the reduction were the foreigners who shipped the products, and the importers and market manipulators who received them. They did not sell more cheaply to the consumer but their margin of profit was greater. While prices of live stock to the farmer declined, prices of meats to the consumer steadily advanced. The high cost of living continued and has increased ever since. The law did disturb business but the President declared it was only a "psychological condition." The Underwood law did not produce revenue enough to pay the expenses of the government, and a Democratic Congress was compelled to pass the Stamp Tax Act, in time of peace, as a makeshift supplement to the law. Our foreign trade has increased but the increase has been in munitions and supplies for the warring European nations. What will happen when peace is declared in Europe and the war orders cease? The Democrats, facing now the situation which everyone knows will exist at the close of the European war, have attempted to quiet the fears of the farmers and the business world by their so-called tariff board, costing $300,000 annually. The question is not what a tariff board may recommend, but whether a Congress elected next November believes in protecting American industries, or making a tariff for revenue only. on the part of the met and their con pledged.

It reduced by about 60 per cent the tariff rates on horses, poultry, oats, hay, cheese, and butter. These reductions were followed by a great increase in importations into the United States of foreign farm products. The increase for the fiscal year 1914, nine months of which was under the Undtrwood law, over the year 1912, was $140,000,000. These importations broke the farmers' markets all over the country. Wheat in American markets declined about 15 cents per bushel; corn declined about 10 cents per bushel; cattle and sheep declined in price.

Intelligent and patriotic voters everywhere have made up their minds to repudiate the incompetent and un-American administration of our affairs.
