Last year money for kindergartens was raised as follows, by special tax: Anaheim, $916; Fullerton, $843; Huntington Beach, $1785; Orange, $2540; Brea, $1500; Santa Ana, $6718. This year the money for kindergartens will be as follows: Anaheim, $2500; Brea, $950; Fullerton, $1320; Huntington Beach, $1811; Orange, $2500; Santa Ana, $6978; Tustin, $1600. Tustin is to have a kindergarten fund for the first time.

With the threshers at work separating the grain from the chaff an estimate can now be reached of the wonderful wealth that is sure to pour into the pockets of the farmers during the coming months. The El Toro district is about the last stronghold of the grain industry in this county, and it is suffering somewhat from the inroads of the popular black eye bean. But the El Toro section is upholding its reputation for great crop yield this year. The farmers in this section are getting their grain into the warehouses at the present time. Probably the largest producer of grain in that section is Barney Clinard. An output of between 27,500 and 30,000 sacks is the estimate placed on his barley crop by those acquainted with the conditions at El Toro. Clinard also will harvest a crop of 500 to 600 acres of black eye beans, and his walnut crop will add to his great income for the year. With barley now worth $2.50 per hundred, and Anaheim Gazette beans already contracted for at a handsome price, those in a position to form an estimate state that Clinard will make a clear clean up this year of about $50,000. Wheat is not considered a regular crop of Orange county, but Henry Meyer of the Fairview district, recently delivered about 1000 sacks of wheat to the Olive Milling company for which he received a neat little check for a cool $6000. County Assessor Sleeper and his partner, William Waller, will have a crop estimated at about 16,000 sacks of wheat and barley, besides having about 400 acres of beans for the later harvest. Ahern Broghers, also of the El Toro district, are threshing about 20,000 sacks of barley. Aaron Buchheim has a crop of barley which will total probable 15,000 to 16,000 sacks; A. J. Salter will harvest 11,000 sacks; M. D. Stevens will have 6000 sacks of barley, and probably about the same number of sacks of black eyes; John Osterman has about 600 acres of beans to be harvested later. CITY'S ASSESSMENT City Clerk Merritt has completed a footing of the assessed valuation of Anaheim for this year, which shows an increase of $92,535 over the previous year. The total valuation for 1917-1918 is $2,256,580, while in 1916-17 it was $2,164,045. AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES The federal trade commission has begun its investigation of flour milling costs. Naval training stations in California are located at San Francisco and San Diego. All flour and grist mills in Great 000 tons of iron ore to Germany during the last two years. We may assume that a good share of the food that supported the Swedish mining industry came from this country. If we shut off that food, the miners will have to become farmers. Agriculture may not be as profitable as mining, but we are engaged in a great military undertaking, and we cannot afford to allow the question of Sweden's profits stand in the way of our military aims. We have used Sweden as an example, but the same thing has been going on in the other neutral nations—Norway, Denmark, Switzerland and Holland. We believe these countries can make themselves self-supporting. We do not believe they are entitled to special consideration as long as they continue to trade with Germany. Our production of food and munitions is hardly adequate to supply ourselves and our allies. Under these circumstances we cannot afford to pass our rationals around to the neutral countries except in return for definite military benefits. WOULD-BE-SUICIDE YELLS FOR RESCUE Brea Man Jumps Into Ocean, Changes Mind After Striking Water Joe Wagner of Brea, set his home in order Tuesday and went down to Huntington Beach with the fell intention of ending his life. He walked to the end of the pier and jumped off but the moment the cold water struck him he yelled for help. City Marshal Tinsley heard his call and pulled him out. He was taken to the county hospital. Wagner has been employed by the Amalgamated Oil company. Some weeks ago he engaged in a fight with his foreman from which he emerged considerably battered, a broken nose being one of the results. He was dis- and was on his way to Los Angeles when he was taken into custody, according to his story to the police. Marshal French has notified the federal authorities of his arrest. THE I. W. W.'s Unchecked by governmental action, members of the I. W. W. have, for years, taught and practised anarchy and treason in America. They have been considered nuisances but have been allowed freedom of action in the hope that they would gradually wear themselves out, or run their course, like some malignant disease. Since the United States entered the war these agitators have become particularly active and more impudent than they ever were before. When men, boldly announce that they will not work, that they will not allow others to work, and that they will destroy as much property as they possibly can and, in various sections of the country, they take action to carry out their threats, at the same time denouncing the American flag and the soldiers ready to give up their lives for American freedom—then these agitators are hindering the government in its prosecution of the war and thereby committing the rankest treason. It is the duty of the national government to punish all persons guilty of treason as they should be punished. A few days ago the citizens of Butte, Montana, hung one of these agitators. In another section of the country, a community bodily deported a large band of these misguided individuals. It is most deplorable that mob rule should, under any circumstances, be resorted to. No sane person, nor law-abiding citizen, can approve of any set of individuals, or any community, taking the law into its own hands, but if the national gov- AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES The federal trade commission has begun its investigation of flour milling costs. Naval training stations in California are located at San Francisco and San Diego. All flour and grist mills in Great Britain have been taken over by the government. Western New York will ship 6000 cars of peaches. The main crop will not be ready to move till September. Iowa expects to produce nearly $700,000,000 worth of crops this year. Its largest increase is in corn, oats, potatoes and garden stuff. On the proposal of the food administration bureau the federal reserve board has agreed to classify potatoes among the non-perishable staples so that the reserve banks may loan money to growers on warehouse receipts. The New York state legislature is struggling with food control bills. The one sponsored by Governor Whitman provides for fixing minimum prices to farmers, seizure of goods in warehouses where necessary, and other radical measures. Field tests in Missouri and Kansas covering several years, show that early plowing of wheat land produces from four and a half to 13 bushel more wheat than September plowing. At present high prices of wheat this would mean much money. Alaska's trade with the United States in the fiscal year just closed set a new record, with a total of $100,000,000. Shipments from Alaska to the United States were valued at $61,000,000, including $15,500,000 in gold, and those from the states to Alaska $39,000,000. In the big farm power demonstration held at Fremont, Nebraska, August 6-19, it is stated that over $1,000,000 worth of tractors and other related appliances was exhibited. The demonstration was held under the auspices of the National Tractor and Thresher's association. The high prices of foodstuffs have tempted thieves to come into the country with wagons and load up pigs and other valuable produce to such an extent that communities in many parts of the country have organized farmers' protective associations toington Beach with the fell intention of ending his life. He walked to the end of the pier and jumped off but the moment the cold water struck him he yelled for help. City Marshal Tinsley heard his call and pulled him out. He was taken to the county hospital. Wagner has been employed by the Amalgamated Oil company. Some weeks ago he engaged in a fight with his foreman from which he emerged considerably battered, a broken nose being one of the results. He was discharged, and to add insult to injury he was sentenced to pay a fine of $20 for disturbing the peace. Brooding over his troubles led him to attempt to drown his sorrows in drink, and discovering that he could not do that he decided to drown himself in the ocean. A WORLD WIDE SUPREME COURT Pope Benedict has suggested something that is hardly less than a supreme court of the world, to follow the peace which he has again asked for. His request does not seem to be timely, it gives no promise of being accepted just now, yet the suggestion coming from this source, will at least start people to wondering whether world wide peace that is permanent can follow this awful deluge of bloodshed. The hope and pretty generally also the belief, of civilized people everywhere today is that this is the last war the world will ever know; that universal disarmament of nations will follow upon the heels of peace as soon as an armed international court has been set up—a throne of justice, equipped with power to enforce its decrees, to which will be referred all international disputes for final settlement—a court of last resort—a supreme court for the world. If great nations like the United States can be so governed, it is argued—nations of which all people of all countries are a part—why may not a United States of Europe be so constituted? Someone says—well, then will come the contest between America and Europe. But the International Court, would, of course, dominate both the Americas and Europe. There would be, in fact, a society of nations of the whole world. Thus no nation would have individual power to enforce its own contentions—there would be no armies and no navies, except those owned and controlled. A few days ago the citizens of Butte, Montana, hung one of these agitators. In another section of the country, a community bodily deported a large band of these misguided individuals. It is most deplorable that mob rule should, under any circumstances, be resorted to. No sane person, nor law-abiding citizen, can approve of any set of individuals, or any community, taking the law into its own hands, but, if the national government does not take up this matter and lawfully suppress the anarchistic members of the I. W. W., every last one of that organization will be hung, or otherwise destroyed by mob violence. Of course no one wants to see such action taken. It would be a blot upon our civilization. When, however, the very existence of the nation is at stake and her loyal citizens are defending it with their lives and accumulated treasures, they are not going to stand idly by and see their efforts nullified by traitors to the government. The mine owners, the farmers, the merchants, the manufacturers, the loyal wage earners of this country, are not going to allow their property to be destroyed, nor are they going to allow treason to run rampant in America. If the people do take the law into their own hands the disgrace will fall where it belongs, on the national government. All trouble can be avoided if the laws of the country are promptly and vigorously enforced. Unbridled license follows a failure to enforce the proper legal remedies, which we possess against such individuals as are banded together under the name of the I. W. W. ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK ON MINING CLAIMS More or less misunderstanding exists in the minds of the general public according to State Mineralogist Fletcher Hamilton, with reference to various press reports emanating from Washington, D. C., to the effect that it will not be necessary to do the annual assessment work on mining claims for the duration of the war. These reports have followed the introduction of bills in congress which, if any one of them becomes a law, will provide that drafted men and others entering the military service of the government will be given special con- ust 6-19, it is stated that over $1,000,000 worth of tractors and other related appliances was exhibited. The demonstration was held under the auspices of the National Tractor and Thresher's association. The high prices of foodstuffs have tempted thieves to come into the country with wagons and load up pigs and other valuable produce to such an extent that communities in many parts of the country have organized farmers protective associations to deal with the law breakers. A serious pest of the chrysanthemum, the chrysanthemum midge, has been spreading rapidly through the United States the last two or three years. Many florists report loss of their entire crop from this cause. No satisfactory method of control has yet been found. A mass meeting of the dairy industry has been called for Monday, October 22, at Columbus, Ohio, during the National Dairy Show. The problems and opportunities of the industry, arising from the peculiar world conditions, will be discussed. The national dairy cattle clubs and national state dairy organizations join the National Dairy Council in making this call. The use of railroad cars for peddling fruit and other commodities during the free unloading period is held by the interstate commerce commission not a right of the shipper, but only a toleration by the railroads. A test case was filed by the Nebraska state grange and other growers' organizations to force the railroads to allow use of their cars for this purpose. CURBING NEUTRALS Our government is said to have learned that Sweden shipped 9,000,- Someone says—well, then will come the contest between America and Europe. But the International Court, would, of course, dominate both the Americas and Europe. There would be, in fact, a society of nations of the whole world. Thus no nation would have individual power to enforce its own contentions—there would be no armies and no navies, except those owned and controlled by the International court, representing the will of all. Such a theory was thought Utopian before the war, and yet there was a striving for this state of things in The Hague conventions, until dreams and hopes were brutally crushed to death by Germany's murderous uprising against civilization three years ago. In the world at that time there existed only one organization which stood in the way of settlement by arbitration as an eventual possibility; that was the Prussian military organization, with the whole German people back of it. HE'S A SLACKER Charged with being a draft slacker, Joe Sullivan, who says his home is in Denver, is in the county jail at Santa Ana. Nominally he is held on a charge of vagrancy but as soon as his 15 day sentence is over he will be turned over to the Federal authorities. Sullivan was arrested in Fullerton by Deputy Sheriff Murillo on a charge of evading railroad fare. When officers searched him before locking him up in the city jail they found he had no registration card. Sullivan finally admitted he had been in Sonora, Mexico, when the registration for the draft was held. Three days ago he returned to San Diego, OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J. Res. 125 E.

Pac. 217 Home 1751 taken, and the law relative to the holding of unpatented claims remains operative exactly as it has been in the past—that is, $100 worth of work must be performed annually on each claim. It is Hamilton's belief that the patriotic miners of California who are giving their entire time to the nation, are entitled to exemption from the requirements in question, and whatever action the Federal government may see fit to take will be given all possible publicity by the state mining bureau, so that the present uncertainty may be done away with at the earliest possible moment. In the meantime, however, the state mineralogist cautions all prospectors and claim owners to proceed with their plans for doing assessment work as usual, as this is a matter which lies entirely in the hands of Congress, and no intimation can be gained at present relative to the intent of that body regarding the suspension of the present law. Miss Eugenie Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Lee, of Fullerton is suffering from a broken rib, the accident happening a few days ago. The little girl playfully threw her arms around her mother's neck and romped with her for a moment. She soon began to complain, but later fell asleep. Upon awakening she was suffering intensely and a physician found she had sustained a broken rib.
