PACKED HOUSES AT NEW GRAND THEATRE CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG IN "THE COMMON LAW," PROVED A DRAWING CARD "THE EYES OF THE WORLD," HAROLD BELL WRIGHT'S GREAT STORY ON SCREEN TONIGHT Notwithstanding the fact that Sunday and Monday nights are generally off nights for the theatres, the New Grand played to packed houses both nights this week. Clara Kimball Young in "The Common Law" was the attraction, and those who attended saw a presentation that was worth the money. Tonight patrons of the Grand will have the pleasure of seeing one of the greatest stories ever put on the screen, an adaption from Harold Bell Wright's latest novel, "The Eyes of the World." It is of peculiar interest to Southern California people because the scene of the story is laid at Redlands. No story writer in the history of American literature has ever been paid a popular tribute to compare with that given to Mr. Wright, and the fact should be a matter of pride, because he was a resident of Southern California until his physical condition compelled him to seek a more arid region, and also because one of Mr. Wright's books, "The Winning of Barbara gelist. Frank Mills, who plays the part of the unbeliever, is a great favorite. Percy Helton, who plays the part of Tom, is the famous boy character actor who created such a sensation in the leading role of "Young America." Albert Travernier, as Ephraim Judson, the Evangelist, made his greatest picture success in "The Devil's Garden." Among the attractions Manager Mozart has secured for future dates are the following: An adaptation from Jules Verne's novel, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," "The Country That God Forgot," "The Return of Eve," "The Crisis," etc. Gregory's Marine Band of 25 pieces has also got a date. He is also preparing to inaugurate five acts of vaudeville for one night each week. It is hardly necessary to say that the vaudeville will be the best that can be procured. JURY FINDS BAKER NOT INTOXICATED Marshal Farrar of Orange Loses Case Against Well Known Los Angeles Young Man Elmo K. Baker, son of the president of the Baker Iron Works of Los Angeles was acquitted in Judge Cox's court in Santa Ana Monday evening on a charge preferred against him by City Marshal Farrar of Orange driving an automobile while in a state of intoxication. Baker, who is a scion of one of the best known Los Angeles families, was traveling with a companion named Albert Johnson shortly before midnight on the 3rd of November from Los Angeles to the coast to hunt ducks. As they reached Orange-thorpe avenue on the state highway they discovered that one of their guns was missing, having fallen through the car door which was open.

"The Eyes of the World" has had a sale of more than one million copies. Publishers estimate five readers of a book to each sale. This means that about five million people have read this great story; that is to say, an equivalent of one twentieth of the population of the United States. Estimating at this ratio, and calling Los Angeles county a round million in population, it would seem that in one county alone, some 50,000 people have read "The Eyes of the World." Figuring Southern California's population at one million and a half, there are 70,000 in this portion of the state, and in California 150,000 readers. "A Stranger from Somewhere" will be on the screen Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon. This is a Bluebird comedy drama in five acts, with Franklyn Farnum in the chief role. Two more reels of "Liberty" will also be given. Sunday, matinee and night, Mary Anderson and William Duncan will be shown in "The Last Man." It portrays two men and a woman facing the red storm of native fury in a Philippine jungle. In the madness of a native uprising in the Philippines he meets the woman who was his wife—and the man who wrecked his home. Army men, both of them—and the woman, beautiful, but like another Helen of Old. Around them breaks the red storm of native fury. Between them lies the hate and passion of the unpaid debt of honor. Like a tower of strength he withstands the storm from without, a bulwark and shelter for those who wronged him. And with the passing of the storm he exacts from them a penalty worse than death—plants in their hearts the embers of remorse City Marshal Farrar of Orange of driving an automobile while in a state of intoxication. Baker, who is a scion of one of the best known Los Angeles families, was traveling with a companion named Albert Johnson shortly before midnight on the 3rd of November from Los Angeles to the coast to hunt ducks. As they reached Orange-thorpe avenue on the state highway they discovered that one of their guns was missing, having fallen through the car door, which was open. In an effort to recover the gun they turned about and were proceeding northward, when City Marshal Farrar of Orange happened along in an automobile with several companions. Farrar was out with a number of automobilists campaigning for California dry. At this time Baker's auto, having been just turned around, was on the wrong side of the road. Farrar alighted from his car and asked Baker what he was doing on the wrong side of the highway. Baker replied that he was looking for his lost gun. Finding a small flask of whiskey in Baker's car, Farrar placed him under arrest for driving while intoxicated. He brought the two young men to this city and requested Officer Sackett to lock them up. This Sacket refused to do, saying the case was outside his jurisdiction and that the did not believe the men were intoxicated. Farrar took the men to Orange, when they were later released on ball. Baker was represented at the trial by Paul W. Schenck of Los Angeles. The jury promptly found Baker not guilty and he was released from custody. Officer Sackett and Cooney Mauerhan of the fire department testified that in their opinion Baker was not intoxicated. The lost gun was not recovered. Al Jennings, the famous Oklahoma outlaw-preacher, is conducting a revival meeting at Santa Ana this week. Jennings has already announced himself as candidate for governor of Oklahoma at the election to be held two years from now. He was defeated two years ago by less than 3000 votes. Jennings was once sentenced to life imprisonment in the Columbus, Ohio, penitentiary, but was pardoned out by President McKinley after serving five years, through the instrumentality of Mark Hanna. The statement is made, and officially confirmed, that 4,500,000 men have of 117 operating days about 90,000 tons daily average of 775 growers will amount to a ton, including that which will be paid making a total pay $585,000.

Greenies made entries in class and secure A wonderful picture is "The Last Man," big vital, pulsing with the primitive passions of the race; a picture such as comes but seldom, and endures. Monday and Tuesday of next week will be produced a big feature story, "The Flower of Faith," with Jane Grey in the stellar role. It is a story of the great faith of a simple country girl, the daughter of an itinerant Evangelist. It is a story of the triumph of her faith over the skepticism and infidelity of an outcast and unbeliever. The scenes are laid in a primitive back woods community. It is one of those realistic dramas of the simple, vigorous country life hich always delights on screen or stage. Pictoarially the "Flower of Faith" is a work of art, with nature as the master artist. The quiet scenes in the daisy field, the inspiring views of a picturesque water fall, the silhouetted flaring torches of a band of night riders—the executors of grim back woods justice—are some of the scenes which make the "Flower of Faith" one of the great photo dramas of the day. Jane Grey, the star of the production, is one of America's best known actresses on the screen and stage. She is particularly fitted to interpret the character of the self sacrificing, faith abiding daughter of the traveling Evan- ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1916 SUGAR FACTORIES WINDING UP SEASON MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR IN HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY'S GREAT INDUSTRY MORE THAN THREE MILLION DOLLARS PAID GROWERS BY THE FIVE INSTITUTIONS All five of Orange county's sugar factories are winding up their 1916 campaigns, all but the Los Alamitos factory probably closing this week. The Southern California plant closed Nov. 1, the Santa Ana factory November 18, and the Holly factory Monday the 20th. It is expected the Anaheim factory will close Saturday night, but the big plant at Los Alamitos will continue until Tuesday next. The Anaheim factory started slicing August 1 and will shut down about November 25, making a total of 117 operating days, with a total of about 90,000 tons of beets sliced, a daily average of 775 tons. Returns to growers will amount to about $6.50 a ton, including the dollar bonus which will be paid by the factories, making a total paid to growers of $585,000. Ten thousand tons more beets were sliced this year than last, and the average sugar content was 18.25, one per cent higher than 1915. A. R. Peck is president of this company and D.

Ten thousand tons more beets were sliced this year than last, and the average sugar content was 18.25, one per cent higher than 1915. A. R. Peck is president of this company and D. Jesserun superintendent. This is the largest campaign the plant has had since its establishment. More beets were sliced and more sugar made than in any previous year and the price received was higher than ever before. The season of 1916 was most successful in the history of the sugar industry of Orange county. All the plants have prospered and the growers have reaped a portion of the benefit. The amount paid to growers of beets by the several factories was as follows: Santa Ana Sugar Co. ... $ 650,000 Southern Calif. Sugar Co. ... 250,000 Holly Co., Huntington Beach 800,000 Anaheim Sugar Co. ... 585,000 Los Alamitos Sugar Co. ... 800,000 Total paid to local growers $3,085,000 The Santa Ana Sugar company was operating 105 days. It sliced nearly 1200 tons daily, the total for the season being over 1,000,000 tons, the sugar content running 18 per cent. The Southern California plant's campaign was 68 days. Its capacity was 620 tons daily and the total sliced for the season was 37,000 tons. The Holly factory was running 98 days. It sliced a daily average of 1250 tons, the total being 122,000 for the campaign. The Los Alamitos factory, the pioneer of the Orange county sugar industry, had a long run of 128 days, 900 tons of beets being sliced daily, the total being 115,000 tons. Each of these plants paid a bonus to the growers because of war prices, making the prices for beets the highest ever received.

INDUSTRIES PRODUCE CAPITAL Admiral William Caperton, commandant of the Pacific fleet, passed through Anaheim Saturday, in an auto on his way to join his flagship at San Diego. He was accompanied by Mrs. Caperton, who arrived at Los Angeles from Newport the same day. They had not met in two years. Society in Newport is just now agog, and official circles at Washington in a quandary over the actions of Miss Marguerite Caperton, daughter of the admiral, who visited and inspected the German submarine U-53 on its recent brief visit to Newport. Admiral Caperton, it is said, is endeavoring to have several battleships transferred from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The heirs of Mrs. Caroline Pittman have paid $251.47 inheritance tax. The Anaheim sugar factory is working up the last of the beet crop in this vicinity, the daily output being small, it is said, the reason for that being the management is desirous of using up all the beets that are available. For that reason the factory is being operated on a curtailed daily output. The quality of beets has been very good, the percentage of sugar running high. For the fiscal year just ended California banks show gains in assets over 1914-1915 of $88,895,381. For the previous year the jump in assets was only $14,424,621, and the gain is due to expansion of industries. War orders and increased price of commodities are assigned as reasons for the better financial resources. Industries are the only real producers of surplus capital and differ from parasitic forms of wealth. Debties (private or public) taxes and money paid to useless officials and all idle capital are parasitic wealth. Money that is employing labor, developing industries, improving human conditions by getting into general circulation, is a blessing.

The disease occurs on the leaves, twigs and fruit. It causes the most damage to grapefruit, sweet oranges and Citrus trifoliata, though it is also found on tangerines, mandarins and Satsumas. The disease shows on the leaf in the form of raised corky spots which have the same appearance on both leaf surfaces. A canker spot is surrounded by an oily or water soaked appearing ring. Similar spots also appear on the young twigs and fruit. An infected fruit is worthless. While other diseases of citrus trees, such as scab, stigmonose and wither tip, may be mistaken for canker, these can be readily told after a little experience. Scab spots are often in the form of wart like projections and do not have the same appearance on both sides of the leaf. Stigmonose spots have a shiny varnished appearance. ery stock until the canker is under control. The only known method of destroying the canker is by burning all diseased trees. Money has been appropriated by the United States government and a campaign of eradication is now under way. It should be remembered that the citrus industry of the state depends upon the success of the eradication work. If the canker is not eradicated, citrus investment in this state will be of little value. BETTER LEGISLATIVE CONDITION The constitution has been amended to raise a practical standard, to set a new test of "ineligibility to office." The object is to place in the constitution a measure forbidding members of the legislature holding state offices during the terms for which they are elected. It removes at once and for all times the temptation on the part of the legislator to vote so as to secure the favor of the executive, in the hopes that his subserviency will be rewarded by a job, and it removes the power of the executive to control legislation by any such method. It is one of the most important reform measures that has ever been submitted to the people of California, and passed by an olly or water soaked appearing ring. Similar spots also appear on the young twigs and fruit. An infected fruit is worthless. While other diseases of citrus trees, such as scab, stigmonose and wither-tip, may be mistaken for canker, these can be readily told after a little experience. Scab spots are often in the form of wart like projections and do not have the same appearance on both sides of the leaf. Stigmonose spots have a shiny varnished appearance, while wither-tip spots are larger and not raised from the surface. None of these other spots have the oil ring nor are they composed of corky tissue. The canker disease is spread by setting out diseased nursery stock, by persons working in or walking through the grove and touching the trees, by severe storms and by birds and insects. People should stay out of the groves and should not touch the trees. It is also not advisable to set out nursery plants. the legislature holding state once during the terms for which they are elected. It removes at once and for all times the temptation on the part of the legislator to vote so as to secure the favor of the executive, in the hopes that his subserviency will be rewarded by a job, and it removes the power of the executive to control legislation by any such method. It is one of the most important reform measures that has ever been submitted to the people of California, and passed almost by a unanimous vote. It is above all a measure in favor of clean politics and better results in legislation. One temptation to create new boards and commissions, and to make profitable and honorary jobs that involve expenditures has been done away with. If the weatherman would send along a little rain at this time he would receive many hearty thanks. OUR GIFTS LEAVES A FRIENDLY FEELING ts, = = Jeweler of the Big Clock With Every Transaction
