Berns of Anaheim on a charge of stealing a diamond and money from his wife, who lives at Delhi, was set by Justice Cox for June 28. No bond was required. Guido Paleri as administrator of the estate of Ben Paleri has brought suit for $10,150 damages against Roy Maeeb of Anaheim. Paleri was killed near Buena Park on May 10 when his motorcycle struck Maeeb's machine, said to have been on the wrong side of the street. One of Paleri's heirs is his mother, who lives in Dobino, Italy. H. V. Weisel is attorney for the plaintiff. Sunday morning upon two or three occasions autos, making the crossing at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets, came nearly in collision, and were the drivers not in control of their cars, or had their brakes not been in good working order, casualties would have surely occurred. Two big autos, filled with people, were brought to a stop when the wheels of each car were just about to interlock, and had they not been stopped as it was, some body no doubt would have been killed. This is getting to be such a common occurrence now that onlookers hardly notice it any more, but it is dangerous. A traffic officer should be stationed at this corner especially during the busy hours of the day and make the drivers show down. It may be the means of saving a life. William Farrand was in town Tuesday looking for the oldest inhabitant, or some person acquainted with the early history of this region. Mr. Farrand returned from a visit to his brother at Santa Paula p.day or two. C. E. Hucklebridge is in the front ranks of our chesty citizens, since his little girl baby and his two boys each took a blue ribbon at the baby show. Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Tomblin were taken into the country on a joy ride by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burkhart Monday evening, and on their return found that their house had been broken into and was ill possession of a number of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Tomblin were reminded that it was the second anniversary of their marriage (the paper anniversary) and their friends had gathered to help them celebrate the occasion. The guests were accompanied by a number of useful paper presents, and as they had also thoughtfully brought with them a generous supply of refreshments, the evening was very enjoyably spent. Games of cards were the chief amusement after the refreshments were consumed. Perry Thomas, son of Judge and Mrs. W. H. Thomas, underwent an operation so that he could join the navy. He tried aviation, the army and the navy, and was turned down. On his fourth trial at a naval recruiting station in Los Angeles he was again turned down. His protests aroused interest. "If you'll go to a hospital and be operated on, we'll take you," said the recruiting officer. "Show me the table," said young Thomas. He was operated upon on June 11,and is now out of the hospital and in the navy. He is at home temporarily. Thomas enlisted in the seaman branch of the naval reserve, and expects to be called for training in two or three weeks. He will probably be sent to the training station at San Pedro. Mrs. Harold Wickett and little son, Charles, arrived home Tuesday morning after having spent several months with her husband, Captain W. Harold Wickett, who has been launching several new Pedro on the 4th of J. V. W. La Mont and went up to Strawberry Bear Lake, Sunday, as Tom Ingram, who was ground, caught nine trout, which appeared in the lake.

Tha and one man's mo the other fellow's stores closed the gentlemen from a William Farrand was in town Tuesday looking for the oldest inhabitant, or some person acquainted with the early history of this region. Mr. Farrand returned from a visit to his brother at Santa Paula day or two ago and found that the foundation of a big tree in his back yard had given way letting the tree sink into the bowels of the earth. Investigation showed that the tree had been planted or grown up over a large abandoned well, which was covered with redwood timbers. The teeth of time had finally weakened the timbers, or the tree had grown too heavy for them; at any rate they broke and let the tree sink into the well, which is full of water. Nobody in Fullerton could give any information about the well as it was abahoned and sealed up before the town was founded. Mr. Farrand is curious to know when it was dug, who dug it, and what it was dug for. George Dunton, proprietor of the Ford garage, was painfully injured last Wednesday, being struck on the head by the crank of an engine at the pumping plant of his father's ranch near Orange. The scalp was severely cut, but the gash was sewed up by a physician, and he was soon on duty again. Lleut. R. F. Stock who, since receiving his commission some weeks ago has been on duty at the rifle range, Annapolis has been transferred to Co.D. 603rd Engineers, Washington. He has already been advanced to first lieutenant. Mrs. Harold Wickett and little son, Charles, arrived home Tuesday morning after having spent several months with her husband, Captain W. Harold Wickett, who has been stationed at Camp Sheridan, Alabama. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Wickett, Mrs. H. A. Johnston of Anaheim and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Chapman and son, Irving, of Fullerton motored to Los Angeles to meet them. Captain Wickett has been transferred from Camp Sheridan to the evacuation hospital at New York and has been promoted to assistant to the chief surgeon. CAUGHT IN CHICKEN YARD Antonio Rivera and Brunn M. Chacon, Mexican man and woman, were on Monday sentenced to ninety days in the county jail for stealing chickens from Ed Martin's ranch at Buena Park. Sunday night Martin captured the pair. Martin was asleep on his porch when he heard a chicken squawk. He slipped around a row of chicken houses and came upon Rivera. Rivera appeared to have kameraded, but when Martin came near he grappled with Martin, and tried to wrest the gun from the rancher. In the scuffle the shotgun was discharged. Rivera thot he was shot, for he instantly threw up his hands and yelled for mercy. In Rivera's wagon was a lot of potatoes and hay, probably stolen. Huddled under the sect was the woman, who had gathered the chickens so far stolen and brought out by Rivera in her apron.

But lo came about in the whether it was whatever you can else Frank says him one and the Frank says he does is wide, he is you and where there PERSONALS Rev. H. W. White and family are sojourning at their cottage at Balboa. Frank Nemetz came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to spend the day with relatives and friends. W. J. Cadman and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Corcoran and family spent Sunday at Huntington Beach. Charlie Koehler and family were visiting the old folks at Hollywood Sunday, returning home by way of the beaches. Sheriff Jackson took a half day off Saturday and was looking up some of his numerous friends in Anaheim and other points in the north end. Henry Schulte of Orangethorpe was a business visitor in town a few days ago. Dave Hamler and wife went down to San Pedro Sunday to spend the day with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ellis. They stopped at Seal Beach on the way and took Mr. and Mrs. Gade on board. Big preparations, Dave states, for launching several new vessels at San Pedro on the 4th of July. V. W. La Mont and Ernie Davis went up to Strawberry Flats, Little Bear Lake, Sunday, and assisted by Tom Ingram, who was already on the ground, caught nineteen beautiful trout, which appeared to be plentiful in the lake. Ingram and his family are occupying a cabin at the lake and La Mont will take his family up Sunday and establish a temporary home. The spraying business of A. Bayliss has grown to be quite a factor in the destruction of scale pests throughout the northern end of Orange county. Several years ago Mr. Bayliss, who manufactures his own lime and sulphur concoction, which he uses as a spray, began operations on a small basis, but now he operates four spraying outfits, each worked by two men. His weekly payroll for all expenses is upwards of $500, and is increasing all the time. Mr. Bayliss absolutely guarantees his spray to kill all kinds of scale, spiders and other insects which are injurious to citrus trees. A prejudice did exist against the efficacy of spraying among certain orange growers, but Mr. Bayliss says that is disappearing, especially he finds it so because growers who once secured his services remain regular patrons. A couple of years ago Mr. Bayliss ran across a grower who was decidedly opposed to spraying and Bayliss made him a proposition. He told the grower he would spray ten rows of his trees and skip ten rows throughout the orchard, and if the sprayed trees did not show more fruit than those not sprayed, he would not charge a cent for the work. But on the other hand he wanted the price of the fruit on the sprayed trees, over that harvested on those not receiving the spray. The grower accepted his proposition and Bayliss was amply repaid, receiving quite a sum of money over his charge for spraying the orchard because the trees treated to his lime and sulphur produced increased crops of fruit. In other words the insect pests were killed. Mr. Bayliss says growers do not give their trees the attention they need in regard to the pests and they are the losers thereby. He has a long list of customers' and expects more for he claims the spray when it is applied correctly will undoubtedly rid the trees of all insect life. About 15 men have signed up for membership in the Anaheim farm bureau but this number should be increased to at least fifty. There are a number of farm centers in the county and much educational work along lines of horticulture and farming is being carried on by County Farm Advisor Sprague. By the formation of these farm bureaus the tillers of the soil get expert advice from the farm advisor who has been appointed to that position for that purpose. Many times a farmer is in doubt as to the best methods to follow in getting the best results out of his soil, but the advisor is here to teach and instruct him. And after getting his crop under way he is shown how to keep it flourishing through the advisor's timely instruction. To know what certain soils are best adapted to is another important function and through the farm worker and well versed in his particieerfully given. In this regard much time and expense is saved by first hand advice, thus doing away with the experimental stages which in the past no doubt has caused the farmer much anxiety and pecuniary loss, by not knowing what crops are best suited to his land. A man may be a hard workr and well versed in his particular calling and has devoted years to his farming pursuits, but there is always something new for every man to learn, along these lines. And this first hand expert advice may be had for the asking provided proper arrangements are made through the farm bureaus to receive it. Meetings are held once a month and these assemblys are addressed by the farm advisor who talks upon subjects he is well versed in and knows whereof he speaks. The farm advisor is looked upon as being as necessary as the teacher in the school rooms, if not more so, and every inducement should be exerted to get the people of Ana- launching several new vessels at San Pedro on the 4th of July. V. W. La Mont and Ernie Davis went up to Strawberry Flats, Little Bear Lake, Sunday, and assisted by Tom Ingram, who was already on the ground, caught nineteen beautiful trout, which appeared to be plentiful in the lake. Ingram and his family are occupying a cabin at the lake and La Mont will take his family up Sunday and establish a temporary home. Mrs. Fred Mitchell accompanied by Mrs. J. J. Burkhart, Mrs. L. Alexander and Mrs. M. B. Tomblin motored to Harbor City Thursday, and spent the day with Mrs. Joe McGathan, and other former Anaheimers who now reside there. Chillie Fisher went down to Seal Beach Sunday to visit his family who are occupying a cottage there, Seal Beach is a pleasant town to visit, according to Chilly, but he complains of the rapacious appetite of the mosquitoes in that region. Rev. Bruce Brown will deliver a lecture at the Christian church in this city tonight, his subject being "The Pot of Gold at the Foot of the Rainbow." He is a noted speaker, and has lectured in all the nation's greatest cities. The lecture is free. Jack Burkhart says he don't think much of the government's idea of rating babies. His son, John Jr., was above the average in both weight and height, and received a blue ribbon. Jack says every body knows that an "over-size" baby is better than one that is merely average. P. R. Donahoe writes from Pittsburg a personal letter to the Gazette, in which he extends kind regards to his many friends in this city. Mr. Donahoe is the owner of a fine walnut orchard on West Street, and his friends expect to have the pleasure of seeing him in Anaheim in the not distant future. The hot days the past week or two sent good sized crowds into town, many of the autoists trekking in after dusk evidently coming after something that cannot be carted away in paper sacks. That makes business and one man's money is as good as the other fellow's. Just before the stores closed the other evening, two gentlemen from a seacoast town were Marshal Wood has appointed Fred Minyard as motorcycle speed cop and will have him work at stated intervals during the busy part of the day and only on certain days during the week. While devoting his time to hunting down the speed maniacs Minyard will be relieved as fire truck driver by an assistant. Officer Minyard was out a few days ago and ran down at least twenty drivers who were making better than 30 miles. He gave them due warning to cut down their speed and close their mufflers. Several others were summoned to show up before the judge. A number of the speeders said in their own towns they go slow, but when they got over here where they had fine paved roads and no motor cops the speed bug got them and they just had to let it have its way. Officer Minyard warned them to go easy or upon a second offense he would pinch them. Miss Edith Simpson and Miss Irma Steadman have graduated from the State Normal school. William Falkenstein has been confined to his home for a week or more with illness. Mr. and Mrs. Romberg Jensen and Miss Olga Boege left a week ago on a visit to San Francisco. They will also pay a visit to the Yosemite valley before returning home. Miss Jessie Boyd, who has been attending the state normal school at Los Angeles, will leave in a few days to attend a summer school at San Diego. All tagless dogs look alike to the dog catcher. The other day he prehended one, which later was found to belong to one of the city dads. Street Superintendent Steward has outtea a sum of money over his charge for spraying the orchard because the trees treated to his lime and sulphur produced increased crops of fruit.

SUBMARINE OFFICERS WANTED Following is an appeal just issued by the military bureau of the university of California: Now the kaiser's submarines are off the Atlantic coast. The campaign of ruthlessness is on at our own sea gates. Our own commerce is threatened off our very shores. The navy wants engineers to officer its submarines, men capable of expert service on the newest and finest fleet of submarines ever built. There is no finer service, none more dangerous, none more glorious, than this of fighting the Hun under the sea. The German has stained the very name of submarine with a shame that can be wiped out only by beating him, hard and clean, with the submarine itself. The need for trained men, professional engineers, to officer these boats is great and urgent. The navy must have them at once, and in great numbers. Will you be one of them? Men undertaking this work must be the pick of our American manhood, mentally and physically. They must be citizens of the United States, and must have the degree of Mechanical, Electrical or Mining Engineer from a university of recognized standing, and must show a record of at least two and one half years of practical engineering experience. They must be strong and fit, and not over 35 years old, for the service will demand of them alertness, endurance and devotion. The recognition will be in proportion to the requirements. Those selected will be commissioned Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve force and sent to the U.S. Naval Academy and to the submarine school in New London for a special technical course. Engineers subject to the draft and those now in the army are eligible. Join the service. Wipe away the stain of German strife from the submarine itself. The hot days the past week or two sent good sized crowds into town, many of the autoists trekking in after dusk evidently coming after something that cannot be carted away in paper sacks. That makes business and one man's money is as good as the other fellow's. Just before the stores closed the other evening, two gentlemen from a seacoast town were here and frankly admitted they came after a few cold ones. And while they passed a well known men's furnishings store they espied a high priced Panama hat that caught their eyes, and going inside each gentleman bought one. The store keeper has no reason for making this fact known other than, "It's business." Frank Davis who has been head janitor at the Fremont school for the past term had the lights turned off on him when school let out a few days ago and he is beginning to think this is a cold and cruel world. Every morning Frank was up with the lark and with his full dinner pall could be seen wending his way to where he worked whistling a popular air and with a heart light, fancy free. He took delight in his new calling and kept the premises in spick and span shape and had the lawn looking like the gladsome springtime and not a ripple nor a leaf stirred to mar his peaceful avocation. But lo and behold a change came about in the governing body and whether it was pernicious activity or whatever you call it or something else Frank says the Eastsider slipped him one and the jig was up. But Frank says he doesn't care the world is wide, he is young and good looking and where there's life there’s hope. Miss Jessie Boyd, who has been attending the state normal school at Los Angeles, will leave in a few days to attend a summer school at San Diego. All tagless dogs look alike to the dog catcher. The other day he prehended one, which later was found to belong to one of the city dads. Street Superintendent Steward has a gang of men at work cleaning up back lots and alleys. George Ziegler comes from Colmar, in Alsace, where the Americans have recently taken over a sector at the front. George says it is goodnight for the kaiser. Oscar Heying is at a hospital in France doing good work. Ah, there, Oscar, we are thinking of you. CLASSIFIED WANTED—Good, stocky young orchard work horse, about 1200 lbs.; no blemishes.

"LET A GOSSARD GIVE YOU GRACE" Falkenstein's Department Store ANT GIVES AID AND COMFORT TO ORANGE'S ENEMIES Prevents Enemies of Mealy Bugs and Other Soft Scales from Doing Effective Work The chief importance of the Argentine ant in orange groves is due to the fact that certain injurious scale insects become much more abundant as the result of its presence and that it fosters mealy bugs and aphids, according to Farmers' Bulletin 928, "Control of the Argentine Ant in Orange Groves," by J. R. Horton, published by the U.S. department of agriculture. This ant is very fond of the sweet substance known as honeydew excreted by mealy bugs and other soft scales, and is always very attentive to them and prevents many of their insect enemies from approaching them. Thus the natural enemies of these pests are hindered in carrying on their good work, and as a result some of the soft scales become excessively abundant. The armored scales, of which there are several that feed upon orange trees, are not protected by the ant; but in patrolling the trees constantly in large numbers, in search of insect prey the ant hinders to a certain extent, the work of the natural enemies of this class of scales. The ants also eat all insects that they can capture except those supplying honeydew, and therefore they disturb certain enemies of the armored scales and perhaps occasionally feed on the eggs of some of them. Mrs.*H. Cahen and daughter, Miss Melanie Cahen of Los Angeles, formerly well known residents of this city, are spending a few weeks at Balboa. FOURTH OF JULY 1918 Never before in the history of our country has this patriotic holiday been so important an occasion as it is this year. The beginnings of a nation are significant; the event we celebrate on the Fourth of July—the independence of a new nation—was a great event in the history of the world. But our country is doing today a much greater thing than making a beginning; it is "carrying on" the same great idea in which our national life was founded—the cause of free peoples everywhere. We should celebrate the day with a new consecration to the great principles which our forefathers laid down; for which all our wars have been fought.
