THE NEW GRAND GREAT ATTRACTIONS WITH FAMOUS STARS TO BE SEEN AT THIS POPULAR THEATRE NEXT WEEK Friday and Saturday the popular Bluebird star Franklin Farnum will be seen in the clever comedy drama "Bringing Home Father," and Sunday Augustus Thomas' greatest dramatic success "The Witching Hour" will be presented. A Big, vigorous and entirely different sort of photoplay in which the triumph of mind over matter is convincingly set forth. "The Witching Hour" is a heart-gripping, red blooded, human drama by an internationally famous playwright who never wrote a failure, and with a hand picked cast of celebrated stars headed by C. Aubrey Smith, Marie Shotwell, Robert Conness, Jack Sherrill. From one of the biggest successes in the history of the legitimate stage, the Frohman Amusement corporation has produced what will rank as one of the master productions of the screen. A matinee will be given at 2:30 and two shows at night, 7:15 and 8:45. Monday and Tuesday another famous star will be seen, namely Douglas Fairbanks in his big comedy success "The Americano," shown in Anaheim for the first time. Two shows will be given at night. Douglas Fairbanks is said to have in "The Americano" a play of stronger dramatic value than any in which he has yet appeared on the Triangle program. It has to do with the adventures of a young American mining engineer in a South American republic which has just been upset by a revolution. It is a play of national But in many back yards ground shaded by buildings and small trees, not wholly removed from the day's sun, might well be expected to produce some green stuff for a small flock. If the chicken pen is large enough a small sowing made inside and protected by woven wire with one-inch meshes stretched about two inches above the ground may be made. This allows the chickens to pick off the green blades as they grow through the netting without injuring the roots. Another way to furnish green feed to hens not on range is by sprouting oats in trays or boxes. This method is used by many poultrymen, for large and small flocks. The oats are soaked for 12 hours in warm water and then spread out in a layer one-half to one and one half inches deep or a floor or in a tray or tier of flats, which have openings or holes or a one-fourth-inch mesh wire bottom covered with burlap, so that the water drains freely. The oats may be stirred daily and sprinkled or allowed to sprout without stirring until ready for feeding. They are usually fed when the sprouts are from one to two inches long, although some poultrymen prefer to allow the sprouts to grow longer before feeding. Oats need a moist and warm atmosphere in which to sprout quickly, so that it is necessary to furnish heat or to keep them in a warm room during the cold weather, while they may be sprouted out of doors during the rest of the year. It takes from six to ten days to sprout oats, depending on the temperature. The oats are fed, roots, sprouts and all, at the rate of about one square inch, as they grow in the tray to each fowl. AVIATION FIELD MAY BE NEAR BREA McFadden and Gordon are Negotiating Fairbanks in his big comedy success "The Americano," shown in Anaheim for the first time. Two shows will be given at night. Douglas Fairbanks is said to have in "The Americano" a play of stronger dramatic value than any in which he has yet appeared on the Triangle program. It has to do with the adventures of a young American mining engineer in a South American republic which has just been upset by a revolution. It is a play of national enthusiasm, tropical revolution, sudden deaths and swift loves, a play of hair raising adventure, of political graft, deplied presidents and fair women, of crafty militarism, of dungeons and castles, fortresses, underground passages and strong men. Wednesday and Thursday will be presented the great California play, "The Argonauts." This is a fascinating story of teh days of the gold rush, and is of particular interest on the Pacific coast. It is the general impression that the cabaret is a very recent innovation in America. The average person will tell you that it is a fad imported from France within the past decade. Naturally, therefore, there is considerable argument concerning the sensational cabaret scene in "The Argonauts of California" and some of the critics have insisted that it is entirely at variance with conditions which existed in the early gold boom days in San Francisco. Edward L. Grafton, producer of The Argonauts has amply answered these criticisms by citing historical authorities to prove that there were cabarets in San Francisco as early as 1849. No less an authority than the Annals of San Francisco published in 1854 by Frank Soule says: "In 1849 and the two or three subsequent years, although the population has swelled to a large number, there were few families in San Francisco and consequently, as has already been observed there were no homes for the great mass of the inhabitants. Thus people lived at night, or during such portions of the night as were not spent in drinking saloons, gambling saloons or other places of public entertainment; while their meals were taken at eating houses, of which there were a great number in every portion of the town. These were of every description, good, bad and indifferent. There were American dining rooms, English lunch houses, French cabarets, Spanish cabarets." AVIATION FIELD MAY BE NEAR BREA McFadden and Gordon are Negotiating For a Site Negotiations have been opened by Attorney T. L. McFadden and N. G. Gordon of Placentia, with William Loftus, president of the Graham Loftus Oil company for use of a part of the 1200 acre oil lease for an aviation field. Mr. Gordon, besides being manager of the New Era Oil company at Placentia, is an aviator of considerable prominence, having served in the aviation department with the Allies and saw how war was conducted on the Somme front. Mr. Gordon has a late type aeroplane in the process of construction at Placentia, and if an agreement can be reached with the officials of the Graham Loftus Oil company for the use of a part of its property near Brea an aviation station will be established and a corps organized for instruction in the art of flying. It is the intention of Mr. Gordon and his associates to establish the station near Loftus station and use the large hay barn there for a hangar. The building will make an excellent store house for aeroplanes with very little remodeling. The movement to organize an aeropora has met with unanimous support at Placentia, where Mr. Gordon has been working on his new machine. RIGHT OF ALIENS TO COMPENSACTION The attitude of the industrial accident commission to certain alien claims of compensation has been misinterpreted in the press. The commission has not denied compensation to any injured worker on the ground of being a subject of a country with which our country is at war. The information from other states, as well as from the United States Employees' Compensation commission, is that no such discrimination has taken place, and none is contemplated when coning the rest of the year. It takes from six to ten days to sprout oats, depending on the temperature. The oats are fed, roots, sprouts and all, at the rate of about one square inch, as they grow in the tray to each fowl.

Oats and field peas, before the hottest weather comes, and millet and cowpeas later in the summer, if sown thickly, probably will yield cuttings of feed that will be much relished in the small hennery. While such a practice may not be in harmony with the best cultural advice, many city dwellers with limited space will wish to utilize all available garden room this season, even for only small returns. Dense, continuous shade under old trees and shrubbery that have drawn heavily on soil plant food, obviously will be of little value for this purpose. The attitude of the industrial accident commission to certain alien claimants of compensation has been misinterpreted in the press. The commission has not denied compensation to any injured worker on the ground of being a subject of a country with which our country is at war. The information from other states, as well as from the United States Employees' Compensation commission, is that no such discrimination has taken place, and none is contemplated, when considering such claims. The industrial accident commission of the state of California will not raise the question. It hopes it will not be raised. Citizens will, it is believed, approve the assertion that public policy requires recognition of the rights to compensation of thousands of unnaturalized workers born in Germany who are worthy residents of California. The situation in which these workers find themselves will not be improved by harsh measures. Advice from the department of Justice at Washington, D.C., is to the effect that a bill has been drafted, which it is expected will shortly be introduced into Congress, and which has for its object the regulation of all trading with alien enemies, so called, including the right to receive workmen's compensation. The whole question is essentially one for Federal control. MARRIAGE LICENSES Marriage licenses were issued Saturday at Santa Ana to Frank F. Volz, 23, and Anna A.

THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY WATER SUPPLY AND ITS USES Approximately 67,000 acres of rice were irrigated in California in 1916. Of this area about 29,500 acres were irrigated from the Sacramento river, about 24,000 acres from the Feather river, about 9800 from other streams adaptability and ease of operation are the most common type of pump. Twelve inch wells are commonly used, and the usual contract price for drilling is $1.50 per foot for the first 100 feet and an increase of fifty cents a foot for each additional fiftey feet. A study of the reports of the Unitary State Geological Survey will assist IF RUSSIA SHOULD DROP OUT While the Washington reports do not mention that the main duty of the Root commission, which is in Russia, will be to attempt to prevent separate peace on the part of the great northern ally, all the conditions as we know them would seem to justify that conclusion. Nominally, the American commissioners are going to Petrograd to offer their services in the reconstruction of government made necessary by the transformation of an absolute monarchy into a republic. Doubtless they can be of great assistance in this, for we have had a working model in service for 140 years and confessedly with good results. But the withdrawal of Russia as an ally would be of tremendous import, and three things would follow as inevitable results: Germany would no longer be engaged on her eastern front which is the thing we all think of first; the Kaiser would have available the immense food products of Russia, which is even of more importance; and the third detail has not been generally specified, but it is reliably stated that Russia has a million and a half German prisoners who would be returned to the German army, thus affording recruits available from no other source. The drain upon the United States will be immesaurably greater if that should come about, and the importance of the work of the American commission in Russia is increased as the scope of that possibility grows. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE We have received a copy of the automobile map of Sequoia and General Grant National parks and vicinity, just issued by the National Park service. This map shows the roads tributary to these parks as well as the trails extending from them into the Greater Sequoia country in the basin of Kings WATER SUPPLY AND ITS USES Approximately 67,000 acres of rice were irrigated in California in 1916. Of this area about 29,500 acres were irrigated from the Sacramento river, about 24,000 acres from the Feather river, about 9800 from other streams and about 3700 acres with water pumped from wells. The first commercial crop of rice in California was grown in 1912 on 1400 acres, and the area in 1916 was more than twice that planted in 1915. The Sutter-Butte canal which takes its supply from the Feather river about ten miles above Gridley, served the largest area of rice in Sacramento valley in 1916, amount to 17,00 acres. The Western Canal, which heads in the Feather river shortly above the Sutter-Butte conal, served 5500 acres. The Sacramento Valley West Side canal, which derives its supply from the Sacramento river, supplied water to 8500 acres in Glenn and Colusa counties. The Yolo Water and Power canal, diverting from Cache Creek, irrigated about 600 acres. Other large enterprises, which abtained water by pumping from Sacramento river, were the Moulton Irrigated Land company, California Land and Rice Products company, Cheney Slough Irrigation company, Mallon-Blevins company, and River Gardens Farms company. The only canal company in the Sacramento valley serving water for rice irrigation which has yet sold water on an acre foot basis is the Yolo Water and Power company, which charges $1.50 per acre foot. The Sutter-Butte canal company has furnished water for rice to lands having water rights an annual charge of $5 per acre. Recent contracts made by this company art on the basis of $7 per acre, with reimbursements to the water user for the construction of ditches and for rights of way, provided water has been used for more than two successive years. The amount of water called for in the Sutter-Butte contracts is at the rate of one cubic foot per second for each 53 1/3 acres. The Sacramento Valley West Side Canal company, by authority of the California State Railroad commission, charged $7 per acre for rice. For this charge the water user was entitled adaptability and ease of operation are the most common type of pump. Twelve inch wells are commonly used, and the usual contract price for drilling is $1.50 per foot for the first 100 feet and an increase of fifty cents a foot for each additional fifty feet. A study of the reports of the United State Geological Survey will assist those who propose to engage in pumping from wells. EVERYBODY WILL WORK All loafers look alike to the law in West Virginia today. A statute just passed by the legislature provides that every able male between the ages of 16 and 60 must work at least 36 hours weekly at "some lawful and recognized business, profession or employment." This hits 'em all, both great and small. The law is effective, no matter how big an income any individual may enjoy. Students are exempt during school sessions. Violators may be fined $100 or put to work by the state, in which case their dependants get the small wage allowed. The purpose of this law is to make every able bodied male do something useful during the war. PLACENTIA CANNERY The Placentia cannery is about the busiest place in that town nowadays. Carpenters, machinists and pick and shovel men are working full speed, and when they get through, the plant will not only be up to date but will have a much greater capacity than ever before. Manager Stevenson is full of troubles with the installation of the new boiler, trying to comply with some of California's freak legislation. No two engineers interpret the requirements alike, and when he has a piece of work put in he is never sure that it will pass. Already he has had to tear out and discard a full equipment of good iron and steel fittings and replace them with brass, at a cost of more than $300. The seed beds are coming on very nicely. Already nearly 20,000 tomato plants have been delivered to the growers and Field Manager Crowell. NATIONAL PARK SERVICE We have received a copy of the automobile map of Sequoia and General Grant National parks and vicinity, just issued by the National Park service. This map shows the roads tributary to these parks as well as the trails extending from them into the Greater Sequoia country in the basin of Kings River. On the back is a small map showing the principal automobile roads of California that connect or are tributary to the national parks. Any tourist intending to visit the Sequoia or General Grant park may obtain the automobile map and the regulations free of charge by addressing the National Park Service, Washington, D.C. HOW CANADA WAS AFFECTED In gauging the probable effects of out entrance into the war, attention has been turned to Canada's experience, as in some points her position is more nearly like our own than that of any other nation. When the war broke out, however, Canada had been borrowing heavily for some years and her imports largely exceeded exports, whereas we have been reaping the benefits of very large profits from the European war for two years and have long since passed the period of uncertainty of nearly a year, which followed in Canada after the war broke out. The May circular of the Canadian acre, with reimbursements to the water user for the construction of ditches and for rights of way, provided water has been used for more than two successive years. The amount of water called for in the Sutter-Butte contracts is at the rate of one cubic foot per second for each 53 1-3 acres. The Sacramento Valley West Side Canal company, by authority of the California State Railroad commission, charged $7 per acre for rice. For this charge the water user was entitled to five acre feet of water per acre, additional amounts to be charged for at the rate of $1.50 per acre foot. However, no cases are known in which water used in excess of five acre feet was charged for. Pumping from wells for rice irrigation in California has been chiefly resorted to in the San Joaquin valley, but to a limited extent also in the Sacramento valley. There are many opportunities for this type of development where water can be obtained by low lifts from wells or streams either for the entire season or for a portion of the season to supplement a gravity supply. Owing to the large water requirements of rice and the steady demand for water throughout a long season, wells should be thoroughly tested before rice is platted and failures can be avoided by keeping the acreage commensurate with the water supply. The charge for electric power in the Tulare and Kern sections of the San Joaquin valley is $42.30 per horse power per annum and in the Sacramento Valley the usual rate for the smaller plants is approximately two to two and one half cents per kilowatt hour, depending upon the size of the plant and the character of the contract.

Phone 130-J Bank of Commerce compares the situation in the two countries: By 1916 Canada had reversed the excess of imports, which were in 1913 $309,000,000, and in the fiscal year ending March, 1916, exported $249,000,000 in excess of imports. This excess had increased for the 1917 year to $333,000,000. Higher prices are, of course, to some extent responsible for this increase. Bank deposits in Canada increased from $993,000,000 on December 31, 1913, to $1,030,000,000 on December 31, 1916, and in a similar period bank exchanges increased from 09,060,000,000 to $10,557,000,000. In this increase in deposits, the savings bank section showed the most growth, from $626,000,000 at the end of 1913 to $845,000,000 at the end of 1916, reaching $888,000,000 at the end of March, 1917. This growth was steady and showed that thrifty Canadian workers were taking advantage of the high wages to put by a good share of the increase. It is difficult for us to forget the shock of war and appreciate that, shocking as it is, war does not hurt business. The experience of every one of the important and producing nations at war is that the people in general have more money to buy with, that more people are employed at better wages, and that producers get more for what they have to sell than ever before. The sooner we definitely understand and believe that, the sooner will business steady itself and the sooner will the commercial pulse beat normally. WANTED—Ladies to represent The Nu-Bone Corset Co.
