Theodore Robb JEWELER At the Sign of the Beet Sugar Factories HAVE PROSPEROUS YEAR Nearly 250,000 Tons Made in California This Year Preliminary returns from practically all operating beet sugar factories in the United States indicate a production of 918,000 short tons of sugar during the current campaign. The area harvested amounted to 680,000 acres and the beets, 6,671,000 short tons. This is the largest acreage and tonnage of beets ever harvested in the United States and the sugar production exceeds the highest preceding crop, that of 1915, by more than 44,600 tons. During the past five years the United States has consumed about 4,000,000 tons of sugar annually. Figures for California for 1916 are based upon returns made before the end of the season, and are subject to revision. California (1916)—Factories in operation, 11; sugar made, 243,800 short tons; average extraction, 16.9 per cent; beets worked in factories, area harvested, 144,200 acres; quantity worked, 1,439,000 short tons; average farm price of beets per ton, $6.44.

Extensive preparations are being made for investigation, instruction and entertainment. One prominent packer will tell why the prices of swine in California are lower than in other states. Another packer will say why the different classes of hogs raised in California bring about the same price. Swine feeders of prominence and experience will tell how to make more money out of feeding hogs. Barley as a chief swine feed in California may be relegated to a discard if the farmers will profit by the experiment of the College of Agriculture. The swine growers will see how swine are killed and demonstrations will be made showing the difference in value of the grain finished and the grass fed hog. There will be a splendid program of entertainment. On one day there will be a luncheon at one of the packing houses in Los Angeles; there will be a visit to the moving picture studios and some of the swine growers may be called on to exchange experiences with the film favorites. It is the plan to run a special train for the swine growers of the Imperial Valley and a movement is on foot to have a similar train from the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys.

IS COMPLIMENTED State Secretary Says It Takes the Lead in California The work of the Orange county Y. bridge in Pasadena is a thing of beauty as well as a wonderful piece of constructive engineering. But if the state would take her rivers in hand and make them 'stay put,' much money could be saved, for the bridges could be built a great deal shorter. The bridges are at least a third longer than they would have to be if the rivers were regulated. The money saved this way, and in the protection of farm lands would more than pay for the work." Modjeska, who is the son of the late famous Polish actress, says that when he is away from California he is always homesick, and one of his regrets is that California has no big rivers, for his work calls him where they exist. It was in California that he lived when he first came to the United States, and he learned to plow on his mother's farm near this city, when 15 years old. His first job as an engineer was building a road a mile and a half long, near Santa Ana, in order to secure a title to a land claim for a friend. He was 16 years old. Three men helped construct the road, but he "bossed" the job. Two months ago Modjeska was engaged in the construction of six bridges, the aggregate cost of which was nearly $30,000,000. This included the $17,000,000 bridge at Quebec, which toppled into the river before its completion, caused, he says, by a flaw in a temporary casting, which could not be detected on the surface. The Canadian government expressed confidence in the board of engineers, and the bridge will be completed next year. Modjeska will return to Chicago. He is now engaged in building two bridges over the Mississippi river, costing $4,000,000 each. One of these is at Memphis. For sentiment's sake Modjeska says he will always keep the California cottage at East Newport ORANGE COUNTY Y. M. C. A. IS COMPLIMENTED State Secretary Says It Takes the Lead in California The work of the Orange county Y. M. C. A. received a deservedly high compliment from State Secretary W. D. McRae Saturday evening at the club presidents' and leaders' meeting held at the First Presbyterian church in Santa Ana. "Orange county Y. M. C. A. work stands in the state on three particular counts," said Secretary McRae. "With 365 boys and young men in weekly Bible study she exceeds the records of all California cities and counties, with 35 leaders meeting regularly for training she stands first in leadership training and with 52 delegates at the recent Older Boys' Conference at Pasadena, she holds the record for the largest delegation at either the northern or Southern California Conference." Besides this, Mr. McRae further complimented the work by saying that to his mind there is no more efficient piece of leader training done in the United States than that done in the county. From a financial standpoint Mr. McRae stated that Orange county had done more aggressive work than any of her sister counties, but with the load incurred in former years much is yet left to be done. Forty-six leaders and presidents attended the banquet and meeting and all evinced much enthusiasm for the work. Prof. Prince presided and Supt. Cranston of Santa Ana led the main discussion on "Leadership and Club Problems." He pleased the leaders by announcing that he would accept the invitation to become their leader for the rest of the season and gave which will be held January 13 at the Congregational church in Santa Ana. After the banquet, County Secretary R. G. Cole met with the presidents, who perfected a permanent organization selecting Albert Snyder of Garden Grove as president. The athletic season was discussed and four leagues arranged for basket ball. It was decided to have the first games of the series on Saturday, January 6, with games at Garden Grove, Santa Ana, completion, caused, he says, by a flaw in a temporary casting, which could not be detected on the surface. The Canadian government expressed confidence in the board of engineers, and the bridge will be completed next year. Modjeska will return to Chicago. He is now engaged in building two bridges over the Mississippi river, costing $4,000,000 each. One of these is at Memphis. For sentiment's sake Modjeska says he will always keep the California cottage at East Newport that once belonged to his mother. JAPANESE PROSPERITY It has been known for a long time that the European war was making almost as many millionaires in Japan as in New York. While Japan is technically at war, she has taken part in none of the fighting except in the early days when she seized Kiauchau. Concrete evidence of Japan's prosperity is presented in the announcement that merchants and exporters of that country have bought between $30,000,000 and $50,000,000 worth of American securities in the last six months. These Japanese investments on so large a scale are the outgrowth of the shift of commerce resulting from the war. Certain classes of goods formerly manufactured and exported by Germany are now being sent to the United States by Japan. Moreover, certain classes of goods which always have been exported by Japan now face a falling off in demand from the European belligerents, and Japan is sending her surplus to the United States, whose low tariff invites this sort of competition. Japan also is profiting by the manufacture of munitions. It is largely due to the superabundance of money in Japan that investments are being made in American stocks and bonds. In addition to the investments in American securities, the Japanese have been drawing slightly upon the American gold supply, $2,000,000 having been transferred recently to the San Francisco mint for shipment to Japan. There months ago it was stated that approximately $30,000,000 of Japanese government funds held in New York had to be sent to London to be used in the purchase of British treasury notes. Japan's prosperity is one of the natural consequences of the European war, and it is giving her a decided advantage in the extension and upbuilding of her industry which after MODJESKA SAYS WE SHOULD CONTROL RIVERS Former Anahelmer Thinks Santa Ana And Other Streams Should Be Made to Behave That one of the very first things Southern California should do is to make its erratic rivers behave, is a statement made by Ralph Modeskia, noted civil engineer, who has been in Los Angeles the past week at the Hotel Alexandria. "River regulation is needed almost as much here as is a great water supply," said Modjeska. "These rivers, which are gentle little rivulets in the summer when they have any water at all, become raging torrents in the winter and destroy farms, which should be protected. They will continue to behave worse with the growth of vegetation through the increase of farming, so they should be taken in hand at once." "California bridges are constructed on the right lines, and the Colorado plly, $2,000,000 having been transferred recently to the San Francisco mint for shipment to Japan. There months ago it was stated that approximately $30,000,000 of Japanese government funds held in New York had to be sent to London to be used in the purchase of British treasury notes. Japan's prosperity is one of the natural consequences of the European war, and it is giving her a decided advantage in the extension and upbuilding of the very industries which after the war will be in sharpest competition with the industries of the United States. INTOLERANCE AT NEW GRAND Tickets are selling so rapidly for "Intolerance," the great feature play that is to be produced at the New Grand theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 24, 25, and 26, that it is doubtful if there will be a vacant seat for sale on the opening night. "Intolerance" is one of the greatest spectacular plays ever produced. It mixes ancient history with modern scenes picturing Belshazzar's feast and the fall of Babylon. There is a scene showing the Chaldean girl racing in a chariot to warn the Babylonians of the approach of Cyrus' army. There is also a race between a young girl of today in a swift automobile and an express train. The girl is trying to head off the execution of her lover. It's a great story.
