Report of the Finance committee was read and approved and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. Report of the treasurer and superintendent were each in turn received and filed. Question of lowering crossings on Katella ditch at Walnut street, was referred to the superintendent. Proposition of John Cook to pay one half of the cost of a pipe line through his property on S. Walnut street was accepted, he to furnish the company with a right of way. The question of piping about 200 feet East of the proposed line through Mr. Cook's property was referred to... Question of lowering crossings on Katella ditch at Walnut street, was referred to the superintendent. Proposition of John Cook to pay one half of the cost of a pipe line through his property on S. Walnut street was accepted, he to furnish the company with a right of way. The question of piping about 200 feet East of the proposed line through Mr. Cook's property was referred to the ditch committee and superintendent with power to act. It was reported that Wm. Link had plowed the filling away from the bank of the cement ditch on the Ball road and caused the bank of the ditch to break. This was referred to Attorney McFadden. Director Beazeley reported the proposed oil lease with the Standard Oil company had been approved by the oil committee and the papers executed by the president and secretary. Request of the Standard Oil Co. for a connection with the Cajon canal on the property of S. Kraemer was received and allowed under the usual conditions. Director Thamer asked for and was granted permission to be absent from the next two meetings of the board. Director Miller reported that the committee appointed by the board to attend the sale of the property of the New Era Oil company, had purchased the entire outfit from the sheriff. On motion duly seconded one share of stock was ordered transferred from J. Stanbary to C. L. Miller.

A man who is in the army or navy and who has dependents, who, upon investigation, are found to be actually dependent, may arrange at the time of his arrival at the military camp for the allowances and allotments. Most of the men now in the service have done that way. However, in some cases the applications will be made by the dependents themselves. It will be at least sixty days after the filing of an application before the payments will be available. The law provides that the payments shall be made by the bureau to or for the beneficiaries, and it is understood that these payments come direct through the mail, similarly to pension payments. Persons should remember that the allotments come out of the pay of the enlisted man while the allowances are advancements by the government in addition to the allotments. Applications for allowances and allotments should be made to "The Treasury Department, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Division of Military and Naval Insurance." (Write entire title). Such application should be accompanied by affidavits of two disinterested persons in support of the claim and should state the regiment or other unit in which the man is serving. Further information in regard to this law may be had at the office of the local exemption board, including amounts of allowances. A NEW REGULATION Elections for school trustees have heretofore been held in a somewhat haphazard fashion... No provisions have been made by law for nominations nor for a uniform printing of ballots. As a result the public has often not had adequate notice of candidates before the day of election. In an interview with Wm. H.

No provisions have been made by law for nominations nor for a uniform printing of ballots. As a result the public has often not had adequate notice of candidates before the day of election. In an interview with Wm.H. Chambers who has been clerk of Anaheim school district for the past eight years, he states that a new clause has been added to the state law governing the election of trustees which provides (1) that the county superintendent of schools shall supply each school district under his jurisdiction with uniform ballots into which local boards shall insert or provide for inserting the names of candidates, (2) that all candidates for the office of trustee shall file with the clerk of the board a written notice of intention, signed by the candidate, at least five days prior to the date of the election, (3) that in districts employing more than two teachers booths must be provided for a secret ballot. Mr. Chambers further states that the time of election has been changed from the first Friday in April to the last Friday in March. This change is made so that persons registered on the old register may vote. This register is cancelled on April first of the even numbered years. H.J.Hogan, aviator, who has been connected with the California Airplane company at Anaheim, has brought suit against that company and the Southern California School of Aviation and its manager, C.S.Sidnam, for possession of a biplane that Hogan says is worth $1600. Hogan also asks for $300 damages because he was not given his machine when he asked for it.

They then searched the office of W. Homer Lee, chairman of the Los Angeles Associated Bible Students, in the Ferguson building. It is said that nothing incriminating was found there. A search is being made for a large number of other copies of the book said to be in Los Angeles. "The Finished Mystery," the cause of a Federal raid on the organization's national headquarters in Brooklyn, N. Y., has been freely circulated in Los Angeles and 650 copies have been sold in Orange county. So far as could be learned in Santa Ana no attempt has been made by Federal authorities to seize any copies of the book that are in this county. The International Bible Students' Association, founded by Pastor Russell, has its Orange county headquarters in Santa Ana and has two branch organizations in the county outside of Santa Ana. It is alleged that the teachings of the book are seditious. Following is an excerpt from the book: "Satan has placed three great untruths, human immortality, the anti-Christ and a certain delusion which is best described by the word paole, by the way, and the examiners were given an opportunity to classify them. The state of California is undertaking a great and important work in conservation in attacking the rodent problem, and with cooperation in the five districts into which the state has been divided, that $35,000,000 loss will be greatly reduced." DEPUTY ASSESSOR'S NAMED BY SLEEPER Newport Beach's Member of the Board Is a Lady The old order has changed in Orange county. No longer shall the mere male dominate in the work of determining the private board of the individual. Casting precedent to the winds and defying the life long custom of his predecessors Jim Sleeper has appointed a woman assessor in the field. Mrs. Edith Gold Wallace of Newport Beach will tell the residents of that city how not to hide the dog or beat down the price of their automobiles during the coming open season on personal property. She is now the assessor for that vicinity. Other deputies appointed by Sleeper are as follows: La Habra, J. C. Launer. Fullerton, P. C. Woodward. Anaheim, J. J. Schneider. Orange, John Fletcher. Santa Ana, E. F. White. Tustin, D. L. McCharles. San Juan, H. Vander Leck. Laguna, E. E. Jahraus. Newport Beach, Mrs. Edith Gold Wallace. Huntington and Seal Beaches, H. F. Gibbs. Westminster, W. H. Bentley. Garden Grove, John Mitchell. ECONOMIC LEGISLATION BY PHILIPPINE CONGRESS Manila Paper Tells of Great Changes In Our Island Possessions A few years ago to call a distinguished Filipino a farmer was almost equivalent to calling him a plebeian or a sansculott, says the Philippine Free Press. But then along came the agricultural congress and the press campaign in behalf of agriculture, and the consequent exaltation of the farmer as the backbone and savior of his country, and now we have something savoring of an agricultural aristocracy. So also with economics. A few years ago the mind of the legislator seemed to run to nothing but politics, and almost every bill appeared to have an incendiary firecracker attached to it. Now the pendulum has swung to economics and this session sees a veritable flood of bills of that nature. As both Speaker Osmena and Senate President Quezon realize the need of the economic development of the country, presumably they are well pleased with the change of legislative diet, and may be depended upon to show a paternal solicitude in any practical measures which give promise of creating or stimulating production. However, after all, bills are only bills, and though to scan the calendar of those submitted one can The International Bible Students' Association, founded by Pastor Russell, has its Orange county headquarters in Santa Ana and has two branch organizations in the county outside of Santa Ana. It is alleged that the teachings of the book are seditious. Following is an excerpt from the book: "Satan has placed three great untruths, human immortality, the anti-Christ and a certain delusion which is best described by the word patriotism, but which is in reality murder, the spirit of the very devil. It is this last crowning feature of satan's work that is mentioned first. The other two errors are the direct cause of this one." RODENT POPULATION IS OUTLAWED BY THE STATE $40,000 Appropriated to Conduct War Against the Pestiferous Animals The state civil service commission held an interesting examination recently for assistant superintendent of Rodent Control, for be it known the State of California is planning a drive against the rodent, and particularly the ground squirrel, as a necessary war measure. So great is the damage to crops from the operations of the ground squirrel alone, that it is estimated the loss to the state in 1917 was $35,000,000. Therefore, in these war times when the conservation of food is of the greatest importance and every effort being made to increase the productivity of our soil, Governor Stephens and the state council of defense have regarded it as a wise and timely expenditure to set aside $40,000 of the $1,000,000 emergency fund to the state horticultural commission for the purpose of a drive against the destructive rodent. When this important work was determined upon, State Horticultural Commissioner Hecke sought the best qualified man in California for the position of Superintendent of Rodent Control. He found the material he wanted in William C. Jacobsen, a graduate of the University of California and connected with the federal bureau of biological survey, as biological assistant and state leader in economic conditions, with headquarters at Berkeley. A temporary appointment was authorized by the civil service commission in order that this expert might organize the control campermant for permanent use. Anaheim, J. J. Schneider.

The numbers required in a few of the important divisions are as follows: Chauffeurs ... 53,124 Repairmen ... 30,900 Magneto repairmen ... 218 Tire repairmen ... 156 Truck drivers ... 465 Motorcycle riders ... 2,534 This represents but a small fraction of the great army of trained workmen that is needed for the army. From the electrical trade approximately 22,443 men are needed. There is a demand for approximately 17,000 radio operators. Nearly 5,600 commercial engineers, electrical engineers and chemists are required. There is need for 29,400 workers, including metal workers, general machinists, tool makers, etc. Over 6,000 railroad men are needed. Over 1,800 steam engineers are needed. Approximately 14,400 wood workers and airplane manufacturers are required. These figures represent a small idea of the educated working force needed back of the line. ORANGE COUNTY GIRL IN CHARGE OF UNIT Miss Sue Dauser of Fullerton Has 60 Nurses Under Her The base hospital unit organized in Los Angeles by Dr. Rea Smith has an Orange county girl as its chief nurse. She is Miss Sue Dauser of Fullerton, who was chief surgical nurse at the California Hospital in Los Angeles when she enlisted to go to France. She is among the first, if not the first, to don the new official uniform for the America nurses. There are sixty members of the unit that left Los Angeles recently of bills of that nature. As both Speaker Osmena and Senate President Quezon realize the need of the economic development of the country, presumably they are well pleased with the change of legislative diet, and may be depended upon to show a paternal solicitude in any practical measures which give promise of creating or stimulating production. However, after all, bills are only bills, and though to scan the calendar of those submitted one can almost see this country dotted overnight with smoke belching factories and becoming another Shefield or Manchester or Pittsburg, the vision will pass. So also with the fields and the dream of their being suddenly transformed into marvels of cultivation and fertility and production. For, while the government may aid, the real transformation will have to come in the people themselves. With all the government can do unless there be self regeneration the lazy and thriftless will remain lazy and thriftless, and the improvident. Not even the Almighty can save a man against his will. But, great is psychology. And, as Victor Hugo says, while a people may resist an invasion of arms, it cannot resist an invasion of ideas. So, as a healthy sign of the times, let us welcome what may be called our economic congress. William Jerome was mingling with the crowd of boosters over from Santa Ana Wednesday evening to attend the associated meeting and banquet. Mr. Jerome is now county auditor and is looking after his political fences preparatory to the fall election sweep-stakes. Walter Eden of Santa Ana was a visitor in town a few days ago. Mr. Eden is a valued attache of the district attorney's office. METHODIST CONGEGATION DEEDICATES A BANNER Eighteen Stars on the Service Flag Of the Church A service flag containing eighteen names was dedicated at the M.E. The base hospital unit organized in Los Angeles by Dr. Rea Smith has an Orange county girl as its chief nurse. She is Miss Sue Dauser of Fullerton, who was chief surgical nurse at the California Hospital in Los Angeles when she enlisted to go to France. She is among the first, if not the first, to don the new official uniform for the America nnurses. There are sixty members of the unit that left Los Angeles recently and which is now in training at Philadelphia preparatory to going over there. Miss Dauser is a member of a family that is well known in the north end of the county. She was a student at Stanford University when she gave up her studies there to become a nurse. She advanced rapidly in her chosen occupation, and she was among the first to volunteer when the Rae Smith hospital unit was being organized in Los Angeles. Should the fate of war bring wounds to any soldier who has gone forth from Orange county, he will be indeed lucky if he comes under the care of this capable, loyal and attractive daughter of the county of Orange. Robert Parker told the following story at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce Wednesday evening. Two negros met in jail and the following conversation took place: Sambo—"How long you in for, nigger?" Rastus—"Three weeks." Sambo—"What did you do?" Rastus—"I killed my wife." Sambo—"You killed your wife, and only got three weeks for it." Rastus—"Yes; I only got three weeks in jail. But when my time is up they're going to hang me."
