FINE PROGRAM AT NEW GRAND THEATRE EMILY STEVENS IN "THE WHEEL OF THE LAW" THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT "The MEASURE OF A MAN" AND TWO MORE REELS OF "LIBERTY" FRIDAY AND SATURDAY This Thanksgiving day, afternoon and evening, the New Grand theatre will present the incomparable Emily Stevens in "The Wheel of the Law," one of the most powerful productions ever released by the Metro Picture corporation. The star is the superb dramatic artist Emily Stevens, who has already appeared in several Metro wonder plays, and the director is George D. Baker, who recently made for Rolfe Photoplays, Inc., the exquisite production of "The Pretenders," with Emmy Wehlen as star. The same company produced "The Wheel of the Law," which is from the pen of Katharine Kavanaugh. Unquestionably Emily Stevens is a stellar artist, whose reputation on the stage as well as the screen is second to none in America. She is a star in her own right, possessing supreme dramatic qualities that have an irresistible appeal and leave their impress upon every audience. She is a niece of Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske, the celebrated actress, and a daughter of Robert E. Stevens and Emma Maddern his folks live in Kentucky. He expresses doubt that they can be located. McLaughlin is in the Santa Ana hospital suffering from severe bruises and shock as a result of the accident, but is expected to be out within a short time. McLaughlin and Reardin were on their way from near Santa Maria to Brawley when the accident happened which caused Reardin's death. Reardin was driving and evidently unacquainted with the road, attempted to take the Aliso creek by-pass too fast, when the auto overturned, the back of the seat crushing his head. McLaughlin realized the danger in time to jump from the car, and he received comparatively slight injuries. Reardin is said to have worked a year or more at the Anaheim Sugar Factory, but little could be learned about him at this place, as he was not talkative, and seldom mentioned his friends or relatives in the East. Coroner Winbigler has taken the statements of those connected with the accident, deeming a formal inquiry unnecessary. The body is being held at the Mills & Winbigler undertaking parlors. STEEL CORPORATION'S REPORT Nothing in commercial history equals the record of the United States Steel Corporation's net earnings for the current year. For nine months they are over $227,000,000, which averages considerably more than $300,000,000 for the year. After deductions for interest, dividends, sinking funds and depreciation, the surplus for nine months was almost $133,000,000 and will be over $180,000,000 for the entire year. Added to last year's surplus this will give the corporation about $225,000,000 of money free from all claims whatever. It is known that some of this will go into new construction and OBITUM Martha Jane W Davis county, Indiana She was the daughter Wilson, pastor of the of which church she ber in August, 1894 married to M.

She is a star in her own right, possessing supreme dramatic qualities that have an irresistible appeal and leave their impress upon every audience. She is a niece of Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske, the celebrated actress, and a daughter of Robert E. Stevens and Emma Maddern both of whom are prominent in the history of the American stage. Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee J. Warren Kerrigan and Louise Lovely will appear in "The Measure of a Man," a 5-act stirring drama of vigorous manhood, interpreting the story of a fighting parson's victory, the rugged romance of a man who could fight and preach. A young man has been expelled from divinity school because of his evident unfitness to wear the cloth. He goes to a Western lumber camp, and because of his clerical appearance, is installed as the spiritual adviser of the rugged woodsmen. Interest in the ensuing episodes will center in the forcefulness of the young man's administration of the gospel—the physical "punch" he put into his daily transactions meant more than the oral points he made in his sermons. And the easiest job of all was to win the trusting heart of the rugged little mountain queen who helped him to conquer his own bad habits and lead his neighbors into better ways. The respectful and reverent treatment of the subject of religion will be one of the pleasing features of the story. Two more reels of "Liberty" will be presented on these dates. With each reel "Liberty" is becoming more interesting, and those who have followed the story get the worth of their money in seeing that alone. Sunday and Monday nights and Sunday afternoon will be presented "Maciste," the wonderful giant of Cabiria. T. L.

Reardon was Reticent About His Family, and Friends are Unknown Coroner Winbigler is making an effort to locate relatives of L. C. Reardon, former Anaheim man, who was killed in an auto accident at El-Toro Saturday night. J. R. McLaughlin, of Brawley, owner of the car, had been Reardin's companion for over a year, and says he knows of no relatives of his friend, but thinks crease are living in a fool's paradise. Pretty soon these same people will be in the industrial trenches and without proper armor or ammunition to save themselves from danger and suffering. The Santa Fe have finished installing a private spur track to the yard of the Pinal Dome Refining company. Three cars can be loaded or unloaded at the same time. This company has recently spent over a thousand dollars in installing new tanks and machinery at their yard and now have one of the most up-to-date oil yards in the south. The different kinds of oil can be transferred from one tank to another by a series of pumps, with the least possible loss of time.

She was the daughter of Rev. Joseph Wilson, pastor of the Christian church, of which church she became a member in August, 1856. She was married to M. L. Litten November 27th, 1856.

BEET GROWERS OF SOUTH ORGANIZE ASSOCIATION A Co-Operative Plan for Mutual Help Will be Formed To encourage the growing of more and better beets the Southern California Beet Growers' association was incorporated at Los Angeles last week. The incorporators include the following, nearly all residents of Van Nuys or vicinity: C. J. Forbes, Alex Jeffrey, L. W. Richardson, R. B. Smith and E. S. Ingeset. The avowed purpose of the association is to organize all the sugar beet growers of Southern California into a committee under instructions from the Grange: "In many countries, with cheap labor and high priced lands, the yield per acre exceeds that of the United States. The American farmer, with cheap lands and high priced labor, produces many times as much per man as does the farmer of any country in the world. "The high price of farm products is due to several causes. Some of the more important ones are: The climatic conditions of this country during the past year were perhaps one of the leading causes of crop shortage. For example, the wheat in the northwest was a crop failure; the corn crop was in many sections a partial failure. As well as the potato and vegetable crops, all through climatic conditions. "It must be borne in mind that the high prices have struck the farmer in whatever he buys, as much as it has the city consumer. Farm labor is scarcer and higher than ever. Everything the farmer buys has increased." To encourage the growing of more and better beets the Southern California Beet Growers' association was incorporated at Los Angeles last week. The incorporators include the following, nearly all residents of Van Nuys or vicinity: C. J. Forbes, Alex Jeffrey, L. W. Richardson, R. B. Smith and E. S. Ingeset. The avowed purpose of the association is to organize all the sugar beet growers of Southern California into a co-operative association with a view to mutual help. The main offices will probably be in Los Angeles, but each district will have a local organization, under the one head, and their field men, agriculturists, etc. Lectures will be given in each locality and all the latest information as to the proper methods of preparation of the ground, seeding, thinning cultivation, harvesting, topping, irrigation, etc., will be available at all times to the members. The sugar companies have formerly been compelled to do all these things, as well as to refine the product and dispose of the same. The association members also expect to educate the beginner, finance those who need same, or see that they are properly financed, provide inspection so that a standard of quality may be obtained, and assist him in harvesting and disposing of his crop. Each member will be assessed only for his pro rata share of the actual cost of operations, and the organization will be strictly non-profiting in every sense of the word. The membership fee will be $5 for charter members and other members to come in later. It has been stated that this new association will fight the sugar companies. But in an interview with some of the incorporators of this association, they stated very emphatically that such was not the case, nor was it their desire to do so. Every assistance possible will be rendered to promote good feeling between the producer and the refiner and all help to facilitate the rapid handling of the product through the harvest season. During the heavy fog which prevailed Tuesday morning two automobiles bumped noses on Center street opposite the city hall, but fortunately both were traveling slowly. No one was hurt and neither of the cars was badly damaged. Carl Sweeters was driving east, and at the intersection of Oakland, Sacramento and Los Angeles found work for about 200 men and women per day during October, and saved them $10,000 in fees. The large army of 33,451 men and 5099 women, 38,550 in all, have been connected with jobs by the state since February 1st, and the great majority of them are still holding these positions, which proves the efficiency of the service which the state is rendering. Since California entered into the employment business, 36,166 men and women have made applications for work and employers have applied for 49,625 employees. The state referred 45,459 persons to these positions and the employers accepted 38,550 of them. The remarkable high percentage of persons accepted shows how carefully those in charge of the bureaus study the needs of the employers and size up those who apply for work. Of course a large number of the positions consist of so-called common laborers and section employes, but the state has successfully filled almost every conceivable kind of position. The following is an interesting resume of the kind of positions filled by the state during the past nine months; agriculture, 3563; building and construction, 4583; clerical and professional, 369; food, beverages and tobacco, 285; hotels and restaurants, 4674; lumber and timber trades, 1169; metals and machinery, 899; mining and quarries, 678; transportation and public utilities, 8499; wholesale and retail trades, 950; manufacturing, 700; private homes, 2272; miscellaneous positions, 9999. During the coming winter months, the state will, of course, face the most difficult phase of the employment problem, as there will be more men looking for jobs than jobs. The employers should make a special effort to send in their orders for help to the state bureaus and they will be supplied with the charity problems, believing that these are for charitable associations to take care of, and instead of applies only to the strictest business principles in the conduct of the employment business, thus insuring the most efficient service possible for the employer and the employee. DEFENSE OF THE GRANGE In defense of the farmer, the National Grange, in annual session at Washington, issued a statement analyzing the high cost of living and attaching the past year were perhaps one of the leading causes of crop shortage. For example, the wheat in the northwest was a crop failure; the corn crop was in many sections a partial failure. As well as the potato and vegetable crops, all through climatic conditions. "It must be borne in mind that the high prices have struck the farmer in whatever he buys, as much as it has the city consumer. Farm labor is scarcer and higher than ever. Everything the farmer buys has increased in price by leaps and bounds. This is also true of taxation. "In former days everything the farmer needed was produced on his farm, or in his immediate neighborhood. This is all changed and the farmer today is the largest consumer of manufactured products, even in too many cases, buying his meat and flour. "Our city cousin have changed their method of living quite as much as we have. Instead of buying in quantities, as formerly, they live in cramped quarters with a kitchenette six by eight, and buy in very small quantities, or live out of cartons and cans and in many cases with little regard to home economics. With this can be coupled expensive methods of distribution, which is not the fault of the farmer. "When the farmer sells some of his products, as he did only a few years ago, at less than cost, he gets no redress, no reduction in taxes nor in anything he buys, and it would be very unfair that when he is getting a fair price for some of his products to place an embargo on what he produces to lower the price and ultimately reduce the supply. So that an embargo on wheat and other cereals would, in the long run, mean decreased acreage. But if embargoes are to be placed to help the situation, it should be on manufactured goods, particularly munitions of war. We further believe that, while the crops have been short, yet there is plenty for all in this country and some to sell. But at the During the heavy fog which prevailed Tuesday morning two automobiles bumped noses on Center street opposite the city hall, but fortunately both were traveling slowly. No one was hurt and neither of the cars was badly damaged. Carl Sweeters was driving east, and at the intersection of South Claudina street swung to the left in order to turn around. Ben Shearer of Placentia, was coming down the street and owing to the fog neither driver noticed the other until only a few feet separated them. Both turned sharply toward the curb, but they were too close to avoid a collision. Shearer's car climbed over the curb and crossed the sidewalk, but Sweeter's machine rebounded on striking the curbing. A broken spring and a bent fender, sustained by the Shearer car, was the extent of the damage. DEFENSE OF THE GRANGE In defense of the farmer, the National Grange, in annual session at Washington, issued a statement analyzing the high cost of living and attributing the rising prices of farm products to poor crops and the increasing cost of what the farmer has to buy. If any embargoes were to be placed to help the situation, the statement said, they should be on manufactured products, particularly munitions of war. Prohibition of gambling in foodstuffs and provision of more storage houses under control of the farmers themselves also were suggested.
