THE NEW GRAND
ANNETTE KELLERMAN
The Perfect Woman, Tonight Only (Thursday)
Sunday and Monday
"HELL MORGAN'S GIRL"
If you have not seen Annette Kellerman in the beautiful fairy tale of Neptune's Daughter, do so tonight, and get the treat of your life.
The film is an airy fantasy; an artistic fairy tale which is a delight not alone to the very young who revel in its story and pictured beauty, but also those of other ages. Miss Kellerman's physical lithesomeness and aquatic aptitude provide the main attraction. The entire production is replete with scenic loveliness, the pictured tale of "once upon a time," and the histrionic capabilities of the various characters who make their subjects real, is of the highest standard.
Friday and Saturday another new Bluebird photoplay will be presented, "A Jewel in Pawn," featuring Ella Hall and a splendid Vitagraph comedy with that fat comedian, Hughie Mack, will complete the program. Friday and Saturday are big bargain days, and a crowded house is expected as usual.
Sunday and Monday, April 15 and 16, the exceptionally fine feature, "Hell Morgan's Girl" will be the attraction. This production proved a real sensation in Los Angeles and is highly recommended for its powerful dramatic power, and wonderful acting by an all-star Universal cast. Dorothy Phillips, one of the most famous emotional stars the screen has ever introduced, will play the leading role—the daughter of "Hell" Morgan, keeper of one of the most notorious spots in San Francisco's Barbary Coast.
Disowned by his millionaire father Indies, in the British Dominion. He came to this country in 1896, and now lives at Olinda.
ORCHARDISTS DON'T WANT ANOTHER RAILROAD
Villa Parkites Declare Salt Lake Will Cut up Their Groves
Two committees have been named to make a fight before the state railroad commission against the proposal of the Salt Lake railroad to build a line through the Villa Park, and El Modena districts. One of those committees is I. L. Collins, W. M. Cummings, Willard Smith and D. C. Drake, orchardists in the section through which it is proposed to run the road. The other is a committee of Orange business men, appointed at a meeting of the Orange Merchants and Manufacturers' association, to act with the orchardists' committee.
About twenty ranchers from the Villa Park and El Modena sections attended the M. & M. meeting at Orange. They declared that sentiment was unanimous in their sections against the coming in of another railroad. They said that the S. P. already gives them service for the transportation of their crops, and no improvement in service will result from the coming of the Salt Lake. They declared that a railroad would cut up some of their ranches, and that a large acreage would be forever taken out of the productive class by the right of way.
The two committees are to file their protest not only with the Salt Lake railroad but also with the state railroad commission, and they propose to make as vigorous a fight as it is possible for them to make it in carrying out their program.
CONSERVING RESOURCES
If the announced plans of the government and stored, and the maximum prices which the consumer, whether it be the government or the people, shall be compelled to pay for foodstuffs.
It lies within the power as well as the ability of the Federal government now, at the very beginning of spring, to determine, as far as human calculation can go, what acreage plant; ed shall be, what the character of the harvest shall be, what compensation the husbandman, the transportation company, the middleman, if there must be one, the packer, the miller, the baker, the general retailer, shall have in return for the labor, time and capital invested. Booms in food prices, food panics, artificial shortages, destruction of surplus crops, should be made impossible by a thoroughgoing system of Federal inspection. It is nonsense to say that the nation cannot carry on this inspection successfully. It has only to issue a call for expert help, and the response to it, from every department of industry, will be as prompt to it, as will be the call for volunteers for the Army and Navy.
CALIFORNIA'S WEALTH AND POPULATION
State Controller John S. Chambers in his annual report as to the financial transactions of the cities and counties of the state for 1916, prints tables showing that the grand total of the assessment rolls was $3,577,877,764. Of this sum $660,674,075 represents the assessment of what is called operative property, that is, the properties of the public utilities which no longer are subject to local taxation, the state taxing them upon their gross earnings. But because of the obligation of the state to pay its share of the old bonded indebtedness outstanding on November 8th, 1910, when the new system of taxation went into effect, these properties are assessed by local assessors and the local bond
Hell Morgan's girl will be the atraction. This production proved a real sensation in Los Angeles and is highly recommended for its powerful dramatic power, and wonderful acting by an all-star Universal cast. Dorothy Phillips, one of the most famous emotional stars the screen has ever introduced, will play the leading role—the daughter of "Hell" Morgan, keeper of one of the most notorious spots in San Francisco's Barbary Coat.
Disowned by his millionaire father because he preferred art to business Roger Curwell took the downward path and ended a derelict in the slums of San Francisco. One day he lurched into "Sailor's Rest," run by Hell Morgan, and his criticism of a work of "art" hanging behind the bar brought Curwell a sound thrashing. Hell Morgan's daughter, Lola, rescued Curwell from his assailants, straightened him out and then prevailed upon her father to give him the job of piano player in "Hell's" dance hall.
Sleter Noble had long, coveted Lola and when he sensed a love affair brewing between Lola and Curwell, the vengeful Sleter began using his influence upon Hell Morgan to bring Lola to time. But Morga indeclared the girl should choose for herself. Thus matters progressed until one evening a party of artists, on a slumming tour, visited "Sailor's Rest" and there discovered their old friend Curwell pounding the piano. Olga Smithson, one of the party, sent him an invitation to visit their box party.
When Lola saw Curwell paying attention to another woman she "rough housed" the proceedings, Curwell left "Sailor's Rest" declaring he would not return. Lola then vengefully declared her love for Sleter, in plque for Curwell's action; but when Sleter attempted to make advances Lola fought him off. Her father came to her rescue and Sleter fatally wounds Morgan with a revolver shot. Lola escapes and at that moment the frightful earthquake devastates San Francisco.
When thousands flee to the Presidio for refuge, Curwell and Lola are among them. They meet and their love reunites them for life.

CONSERVING RESOURCES
If the announced plans of the government in the matter of regulation of prices of foodstuffs are carried out—and in the name of humanity they should be—this war promises to do more toward returning living conditions in the direction of normal than a continuation of peace would have done.
The plans, if successful, will tend to the destruction of speculation and to the conservation of the vast food resources which the county possesses. Economy and care in every household in the land will tend to conserve the supply. Price fixing by the government will drive out the wolves that fatten on manipulation of prices and supply.
We that have been feeding the world, should not be distressed to feed ourselves, if the profiter is strangled as he should be. We are at a grim business, and we must meet it in a grim way. We have the lesson of Europe before us. We have seen what our foe, under stress of the most terrific demands, has done in food supply. We are a thousand times more capable of producing the food we need than was Germany at the beginning of the war.
We deserve the contempt which the German government bestows on us if we do not make the best use of our resources.
A SUBJECT TO BE REMEMBERED
War should not be permitted to divert the attention of the people of the United States from the food question. If, through several years passed under peaceful conditions, the study and correction of faults and abuses in the production, distribution and cost of foodstuffs have been deemed necessary to the welfare of the nation, how much more necessary will intelligent and stringent measures, looking to the control of the food product, be to the country if it shall summon tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of workers from the soil ken out of the productive class by the right of way.
The two committees are to file their protest not only with the Salt Lake railroad but also with the state railroad commission, and they propose to make as vigorous a fight as it is possible for them to make it in carrying out their program.

The Has Beens, who defeated the Oyster Loaf champion bowling team last week, by 187 pins, thereby winning a supper, were defeated by the champs by a small margin of 29 pins Thursday night and will dig up for the Oysters at the Oyster Loaf Cafe tonight. The scoring was high on both sides, the Oyster Loafs making 2582 pins and the Has Been 2553.
The score was: Oyster Loafs—Zitzman 547, Handleman 470; Efker 597, Meyer 464, Rasmussen 504. Has Beens—Wisser 529, Fisher 514, Vanatta 523, Graham 476, Cowan 511. Efker's high score of 597, saved the day for his team.
Two British subjects and an Austrian came in together Wednesday from the oil fields to take the first step to becoming citizens of America. Their allegiance is with the Stars and Stripes and under the strain that now exists the fact that they should declare their affiliation came home to them. Two of the men are employed as tool dressers and the other is a driller. William E. Rees, 27, born in South Wales, came to America in 1912. He lives at Brea.

It is as essential to national safety that there shall be an adequate and steady supply of food as that there shall be an adequate and steady supply of munitions, and he who would tamper with the supply of munitions would be more treacherous and no more dangerous an enemy of the country than he who, for private gain, in time of national peril, would tamper with the supply of food.
Several of the nations now at war have been forced sooner or later to do what the United States has the opportunity of doing at the beginning, that is, of exercising a strict supervision over food production, distribution, and supply, and the United States will simply be exercising a precaution which experience has taught is wise, and finally unavoidable, when it shall undertake to regulate through its d partment of agriculture, the area to be put under cultivation, the manner in which the crops shall be dis-
The Woman's Club of Orange will hold their second annual flower show at the intermediate school building on North Glassell street, April 18, 19, and 20. Last year their first flower show earned for them much praise and spurred the club members to greater effort this year.
Any resident of Orange or vicinity may enter an exhibit whether a member of the club or not. The list of flowers for which prizes are offered include roses, sweet peas, ferns and wild flowers. Prizes will be awarded single blossoms and baskets.
On each of the three evenings a splendid entertainment will be given, and Thursday and Friday afternoons. Wednesday afternoon, starting at 2 p.m., there will be a floral procession. More than twenty-five floats will be in line and an even larger number of private cars, all beautifully decorated. Several bands will lend their charm to the pleasure of the occasion.
Orange, as well as the Woman's club, invites her neighbors to join with her in this joyous affair. The Flower show will be well worth visiting for the beautiful display of flowers alone, and doubly worth while because of the many other attractions.
In addition to flower prizes, the club offers prizes for the best vegetables. This class of prizes however, is open only to the school children of Orange county.
The postmaster general has issued an order suspending the vacations of all postoffice employees. Mail service to Germany is also suspended and postmasters are directed to refuse all mail to Austria, Hungary, Luxemburg, Bulgaria and Turkey, as mail to those places would have to pass through Germany.

VICTORY GAINED IN
LONG FIGHT FOR LANDS
Twenty-One Hundred Settlers Confirmed in Their Titles
Twenty one hundred lieu land purchasers and settlers, representing 320,000 acres of California lands and an aggregate of more than $3,000,000 in value, have received the most cheering news that has come their way in more than two decades. It is the announcement that the battle of many years waged for the settlers of state lieu lands has been won and the land sharks and manipulators who have fought bitterly for years, at last have apparently been defeated.
Surveyor-General Kingsbury was compelled to carry the fight on to Washington, D. C., in the interest of the settlers. It was necessary for him the attoreny general, in the case of the Desert Water, Oil and Irrigation company against the state of California, Survey General Kingsbury has prevailed upon the general land office and the secretary of the interior to proceed without further delay to transfer to the state the title to the said lieu lands.
There are now pending before the general land office selection made in behalf of approximately 2,100 purchasers, aggregating 320,000 acres. When the titles are transferred to the state—and this the department of the interior have agreed will be done without further unnecessary delay—the state will then be in a position to issue patents to the purchasers, many of whom have settled upon and improved their lands.
A protest recently filed by certain land manipulators against conveyance

to be on the ground every minute for the protection of the men and women who many years ago purchased and settled on the lands in good faith, and who have had to fight the land manipulators for years.
Monday Kingsbury in a telegram to the capitol at Sacramento announced the successful culmination of the controversy which has been pending before the department of the interior for over ten years and the great victory in behalf of the state lieu land purchasers. As a result of this victory and the important decision recently won before the supreme court of the United States on an appeal taken by title to the state, has been overruled and rejected by the officers of the department of the interior. The way, therefore, now is clear for the expeditious adjustment and settlement of the entire matter.
At the request of Kingsbury the United States land department officials will take up the adjustment of the pending selections in the order of their respective dates of filing, and will pay no attention to the importunities of those who may seek to procure title to large tracts in advance of the small settlers, whose purchases are prior in point of time.
