ANOTHER CITRUS FRUIT ON THE MARKET AUTHORTIES IN WASHINGTON PREDICT THAT THE TANGELO WILL BECOME POPULAR CROSS BETWEEN THE GRAPE-FRUIT AND THE TNGERINE WITH IMPROVED QUALITIES After 20 years of experiment, the tangelo, a new fruit with the good points of both the tangerine and the grapefruit is on the market. Florida and East Coast hotels are now serving this fruit as a special novelty, and jaded epicureans speak favorably of the latest fashion in breakfast appetizers. Just now the supply of tangelos is decidedly limited, but the department of agriculture is working on the introduction of the product and we shall soon find the tangelo for sale at our nearest fruit stand. About 1897, the bureau of plant industry decided that a fruit with the easily removable rind of the tangerine and the tang of the grapefruit, slightly modified, would be a decided addition to the fruit list. With the aid of several growers and scientists experiments were started in Florida, and various combinations of citrus fruits were tested, at first with indifferent success. Untiring study finally yielded some some can still be brought by ferry and railway and on certain steamships, and citrus fruit production is on the increase in spite of setbacks. The new fruit will take the place of some fancy Cuban fruits which have been displayed in our high priced fruit stores. The origin of the name tangelo is not at first apparent to many persons accustomed to call the pomelo by the popular name of grapefruit or shaddock. The new fruit was given a shortened combination of the names of the parent trees—tangerine and pomelo. The department of agriculture believes that the tangelo will make a name for itself if properly grown and marketed, and that it will be a household breakfast fruit when once it is being produced extensively enough to be sold cheaply. Just now the amateur is not being urged to invest in a tangelo grove. One, or several of the new trees might advisedly be planted and studied by individuals with a view toward commercial culture when the peculiarities and requirements are understood. This is the method adopted by both amateur and professional growers. Often a professional grower will experiment with a number of the fancy fruits or hybrids, planting them among the other trees of his grove. The tangelo tree in blossom is a beautiful sight. It is a desirable feature of the home garde in citrus growing states. The old English custom of planting orange or lemon trees for decoration is being adopted in this country, and the tangelo is advocated as a hardy evergreen, requiring little more attention than any other tree of citrus stock.

With the aid of several growers and scientists experiments were started in Florida, and various combinations of citrus fruits were tested, at first with indifferent success. Untiring study finally yielded some fifty seven varieties, all successful, though not all suited for commercial production. Two hybrids, promising enough for extensive raising, were intensively tested and improved and are now being raised commercially in South Dade county, Florida. Others are still being developed in this country and the Philippines. The two varieties especially approved by the department of agriculture are the Thornton and the Sampson, both named for the men who made the successful tests resulting in these types. In appearance these hybrids are a cross between the tangerine and grapefruit from which they were evolved. They have the coloring of an orange and the so called kid klove skin of the tangerine, rather too thin for preserving. In size as in appearance, the tangerelo is a bettwixt and between, reaching under favorable conditions, the proportions of an unusually large orange. Its flavo rean best be described as that of a grapefruit without its blitterness, but still retaining its pungent tang. The Thornton is of particularly good flavor and has the additional recommendation that it has not the grapefruit's tendency to squirt juice in the eye of the eater if attacked suddenly. The Thornton ripens in late winter and the Sampson in spring and early summer. Long before it is ripe for picking the fruit tkes on its golden color. This feature is causing the department some anxiety, as inexperienced growers are liable to ship the fruit prematurely. It then reaches the market still unripe and produces a bad impression at a time when a good one is needed, if the fruit is to be used generally. The tangelo has been tested chiefly in Florida, but it is believed that it may be grown in any state producing grapefruit. Experimental growers are hopeful that it will be adaptable to Alabama planting conditions, as far it is not easily susceptible to the citrus canker, a disease that has threatened fruit production in NEW CLASSIFICATIONS The following registrants, married since May 18, 1917 have been reclassified by the local board as follows: Frahk Bell, Buena Park, Class 2, Divison X; Paul R. Stuck, Santa Ana, Class 2X; Russl J. Maddock, formerly Huhtington Beach, now in Los Angeles ship yards, Class 2X; John F. Michaell, Fullerton, Class 1X; Chas H. Snavely, Jr., Brawley, Class 1X; George M. Harlan, Los Angeles, Class 2X. Last Wednesday was the last date for the 1918 registrants to file their questionnaires with their local board by those whose questionnaires were mailed by the board on June 25. Monday, the 8th was the last day for those filed on the 28th. In a few instances the time was extended to registrants, but that extension of time was specifically stated on the questionnaire. The local board has received word to the effect that the fourteen limited service men who left here on June 27 have arrived safely at Vancouver Barracks, Washington. Edward W. Freeman of R. F. D. 2, Anaheim, a 1918 registrant has signed up with the local exemption board for induction into the engineer corps, as auto repair man. The district appeal bard has denied the appeal of Barney F. Stoffel of Anaheim and has affirmed the decision of the local board in reclassifying him in Class 1, Division X. BOXING FOR AGGRESSIVENESS Our soldiers are all being taught to box. Taken up first as a recreation, this sport has become part of the regular army training. Boxing is approved because it "develops aggressiveness in offense." The rules have been changed to emphasize this very factor. The boxing taught is not the genteel sort that has prevailed in recent years, with its stress on defensive tactics. There is no encouragement for backstepping, covering and clinching. In fact, such tactics are penalized. Points are given for hard, fast hitting, for keeping A limited number of 18 years of being placed in eight hour day work organizations of the girls between them more than eight may work overtime and a quarter-hour hours. Wages vary than last, averaging $1½ cents per hour. For peeling pound will be $1½ cents ruling ing. Because of train minimum cost fixed for women... The tangelo has been tested chiefly in Florida, but it is believed that it may be grown in any state producing grapefruit. Experimental growers are hopeful that it will be adaptable to Alabama planting conditions, as so far it is not easily susceptible to the citrus canker, a disease that has threatened citrus fruit production in Alabama for several years. It is doubtful if it would be successful in our western state. The dryness of climate of the west, especially in California, is a bar to grapefruit culture, and the similarity of the tangelo to the grapefruit is noticeable in climate and soil required. The fruit is grown by budding stock obtained from a nurseryman. About three years after budding trees bear, but not commercially for six or seven years. The young trees demand steady care and attention to protect them from frost, fungus and insect pests. The fact that the fruit now brings a good price in the market and the demand for a high grade yield offset the amount of trouble taken to produce perfect fruit. One of the grave dangers to citrus fruit culture is frost. Statistics show that 1,500,000 boxes of grapefruit and 3,000,000 boxes of oranges have been shipped from Florida this year. This is only 50 per cent of the normal production because of the heavy frosts, which for two seasons have made inroads into the fruit crops. Besides this reduction of our domestic supply, our market will be further depleted by the recent embargo on importation of fruits from Cuba. However an acute shortage of southern fruits is not imminent, as The rules have been changed to emphasize this very factor. The boxing taught is not the genteel sort that has prevailed in recent years, with its stress on defensive tactics. There is no encouragement for backstepping, covering and clinching. In fact, such tactics are penalized. Points are given for hard, fast hitting, for keeping after the other fellow and driving blows home regardless of finesse. "The value of attack," say the new rules, "cannot be overestimated." Thus both in spirit and method this once reprobated pastime is preparing our fighting men for the task ahead of them. Individually they are being taught to do what we expect our army as a whole to do when it starts its grand drive for Berlin. It is not only the way to win. It is literally the safest way. Military experts agree that the more fiercely men attack in a bayonet charge, the larger percentage of them come through unscathed. "Jip" Weaver, Anaheim boy who has been employed on the Graham Loftus oil lease, and who went to Camp Kearny with the last detachment, has been returned home because of some heart trouble which developed after four days of drilling and after being examined by thirty army doctors. He had attempted to go with several detachments and was finally permitted to leave last week by the local exemption board. He wishes now he had not been in such a hurry to sacrifice his personal effects before leaving. He sold a motorcycle for a third of its value and gave a $30 rifle away with a lot of other things. The full force of the chilis start poration will be 1000 tons of oil come on before way and the two cannery in open first of next year of pimentos having the cannery.

He Talked To For alleged ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Eleven Allen Enemy Women:— There are eleven German alien women in Fullerton according to Postmaster Blackford who registered them and the records he has in his office. The registration closed on the evening of the 26th and came up to the expectations of the postmaster. He estimated that there would be about a dozen and eleven is close enough. Three of those who registered are native born Americans but married foreigners, German subjects, and they came under the ban. These, as well as the others will have to carry identification cards on which are the necessary information, picture and the thumb prints the same as any German born woman. Postmaster Blackford has announced that these cards are ready for distribution. They must be called for within a period of ten days and not later than 15 days. If there are any who failed to respond to the rule of the department of justice and the authorities learn of them, they will be arrested and interned for the remainder of the war. Deserters Arrested:— Jesus Rodriguez of Westminster who deserted from the national army on March 29, 1918, for failing to report for entrainment at Fullerton, has been apprehended by the sheriff of Fillmore, Midland county, Utah. He has been taken before the local board there for the determination of his status. If it is found that he is a wilful deserter he will be turned over to the military authorities for court martial. If not wilful, he will be sent to a mobilization camp. Joe Cervantez, also of Westminster, who has been missing from Orange Street, rancher, residing at Villa Park, was taken into custody Tuesday by government secret service men, acting on reports turned in by the Orange War Service committee. He was taken to Los Angeles and turned over to the federal authorities. The offense complained of occurred last Friday when Streech was solicited for a subscription to the war savings drive. The committee was met, it is stated, with bitter remarks on the subject of the war from Streech, who is of German descent. He finally handed them $5 telling them to go along and that he didn't want a receipt, a savings certificate or to hear anything more about it. He is alleged to have said that the government had already taken his son to war to be shot at, and to shoot at his own relatives. He is also charged with saying that America had no business to enter the war, that President Wilson had no business getting us into the war and that the president could and should make peace now. When asked what kind of a peace he thought it would be, Streech replied that it would be the kind of peace that the kaiser wanted it to be. He further stated, it is claimed, that he would just as soon live under the kaiser's rule as any other. The case was immediately reported to the federal authorities and two operatives called at the Streech ranch Tuesday. When placed under arrest Streech admitted that he had been making rash remarks, but that he was very sorry for it. However, he was forced to accompany them to Los Angeles, where he will be held for investigation. Streech has lived in Villa Park for five or six years. He owns a 10-acre citrus orchard of young, bearing trees. It was stated that the Streech case is only one of a number of cases which have been under investigation.

Work For Many Women:— Thirty days more and occupation will open to 350 or more women for a period of five months, during which time at least $100,000 will be disbursed among them. The California Packing Corporation cannery on East First street, Santa Ana will open about that time. Supt. J. W. Shumate is now listing names of women who want employment in the cannery and already has quite a list of applicants. Shumate expects to start the wheels moving in the big cannery about the middle of August, with possibility of a short run on Refugee beans starting a little before that time. A limited number of girls from 16 to 18 years of age will be employed, being placed in positions where their eight hour day will not interrupt the working organization. Under the regulations of the Industrial Commission girls between these ages cannot work more than eight hours, while women may work overtime at the rate of time and a quarter for time over eight hours. Wages will be higher this year than last, averaging about 15 per cent. For peeling chilis 1 cent per pound will be the ruling price, with 1½ cents ruling for traying or packing. Because of the fact that a certain minimum compensation has been fixed for women, the company this Old Landmark Gone:— Bright and early Wednesday morning a large force of men started in to dismantle the old Shay hotel, one of the old landmarks of Fullerton. Geo. Amerige, the proprietor, has sold the building to the Whiting Wrecking Co. of Los Angeles for wrecking purposes, and the work of razing the old structure has started. Big signs with white backgrounds and black lettering have been plastered all over the exterior of the building which read "Watch It Go." There is a system in the madness of the wreckers as they are carefully removing the doors and stacking them on the lot, also the windows and movable parts, and the sliding will be just as carefully removed and stacked up. All of the material that cannot be sold in that vicinity will be removed to Los Angeles. Knowlton is Police Judge:— About the one thing of greatest magnitude at the meeting of the board of city trustees of Fullerton Tuesday evening was the accepting of the resignation of City Recorder B. F. Kenney and the appointment of Building Inspector O. V. Knowlton to succeed him. Being building inspector and always on the job, the board thought this a pretty good way of adding to Mr. Knowlton's compensation, and beside that the board really believes that he will make a capable city recorder, or they would not have appointed him. Mr. Kenney has been recorder for eight years and has been a faithful, efficient official, but he felt that the duties were too exacting for his age and he asked to be permitted to quit. Hereafter Mr. Knowlton will deal with the speeders and other breakers of the law. MINIMUM RATE 100 PER CENT HIGHER Railroad Commission Grants Application of Gas Company A sheer raise of 100 per cent in the minimum rate and a substantial increase in the gas rate is granted the Southern Counties Gas Company by the railroad commission according to announcement from San Francisco. The commission has granted the company's new petition. The new rates become effective on all regular meter readings after July 22. In the eastern district which includes Orange county, the minimum has been 50 cents with gas at 75 cents per 1000 cubic feet in Santa Ana. In the future it will be $1.00 fr the first 1000 feet and 80 cents per 1000 over 1000 and up to 5,000. The industrial rate so far as it apples to the Santa Ana city water plant is an increase of 66 per cent, the raise bing from 15 cents per 1000 to 25 cents per 1000. The Southern Counties Gas company has won its fight before the railroad commission for permission to increase its rate, the decision being written by Commissioner Loveland and made public in San Francisco. All the cities in Southern California protested vigorously at the hearings held in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Santa Ana a few weeks ago. The hearing on the Orange county situation was before Commissioner Thelan in that city. Thelan has since been appointed to a federal position and the decision of Thelan, so far as this county is concerned, is based on typewritten record. The new schedule increases gas rates for approximately 28,000 consumers and lowers the rate for nine miles. Ask for a free copy of night-signalling code at labeled with the sign.

Placentia Cannery:— Manager Marzo made a trip to San Francisco last week on business of various kinds connected with the Placentia cannery. One of the principal objects of his trip was to hurry the shipments of new machinery. The cannery is being practically re-equipped this year. Nearly all of the old machinery has been discarded and is being replaced by new and up to date models. He Talked Too Much:— For alleged seditious remarks, F. Mr. Knowlton's compensation, and beside that the board really believes that he will make a capable city recorder, or they would not have appointed him. Mr. Kenney has been recorder for eight years and has been a faithful, efficient official, but he felt that the duties were too exacting for his age and he asked to be permitted to quit. Hereafter Mr. Knowlton will deal with the speeders and other breakers of the law. Former Santa Anan Killed:— Charles T. Griffin, a resident of Santa Ana for some months prior to six months ago, and engaged in the selling of jacks and stallions in that vicinity, was killed in Cajon Pass, near San Bernardino Wednesday afternoon, when an auto he was driving plunged over a 15 foot embankment, landing upside down on the right of way of the Santa Fe. The crew of the east bound California Limited saw the machine and the arm and hand of the dead man sticking out from under the pile of wreckage. The train was stopped at Keenbrook, a short distance away, and the authorities notified. Griffin was 31 years old and leaves a widow and 6-months-old babe. When in Santa Ana the family resided near the water works. He has been residing in San Bernardino since leaving this county. Griffin lost one of his legs in an automobile-street car collision at San Diego several months ago. The map of Tract No. 83 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract, and the bond of Catherine A. Brooks and Horatio J. Forgy was approved as security for the 1918-19 taxes. The new schedule increases gas rates for approximately 28,000 consumers and lowers the rate for approximately 13,00 subscribers, the decrease being for the larger industrial plants. The eastern district includes Orange county, Whittier, Pomona and Monrovia districts. The rate is $1.00 for the first thousand cubic feet and 80 cents for the next 4000 used in one month. The scale ranges down to 25 cents for more than 100,000. For consumers in the 10,000 class the rate is lowered from 75 cents to 72 cents. The city of Santa Ana is now paying 15 cents for gas used in the water power plant. The city uses a little less than 3,000,000 cubic feet monthly the city paying the gas company $4,610.24 for the year ending June-30, or an average of $384.18 per month. The new rate increases this 66 2-3 per cent. In granting the application, the commission took the positio nthat the increase was necessary because the introduction of natural gas, the heat units of which are greater than manufactured product, has decreased the volume used, with decreased revenue to the company. In some districts where artificial gas rates still prevailed, the commission ordered a decrease where natural gas is being used. Rates for the Saan Pedro district were established at 90 cents per 1000 NO VACATION OUTFIT COMPLETE Without an EVEREADY Daylo YOU will need a Daylo for those vacation nights around the camp; on fishing, hunting and hiking trips, for the early morning start or the late at night return.

In the western division, including Santa Monica, Venice, Ocean Park, Culver City, Palms, Sawtelle and adjacent territory the rate is $1.15 per 1000 for the first 2000 and next 8000 95 cents per 1000. Shipyards and other large industrial plants in San Pedro, Wilmington and adjacent territory, will have to pay nearly 35 cents a cubic thousand feet fr natural gas, as against 27 cents heretofore. This is an incerase of nearly 30 per cent. When there is insufficient gas to supply all consumers, priority is given to plants for gas engines, bakeries, packing houses, large industries such as metal working plants, fruit establishments and so forth. TO TEACH THE FRENCH POWER FARMING American farm methods will be introduced in France. Paul Deschanel, speaker of the chamber of deputies, has requested James Kerny, director of the Franco-American committee of public information to establish a model American farm with the view of teaching French farmers who now are using antiquated methods on a small scale of production. The proposal embraces the use of tractors, to be owned communally by groups of farmers, because the present system of small farms prevents the acquiring of expensive machinery on a single farm. "Seventy per cent of France is agricultural," said Mr. Kerny recently, "but in many ways cultivation is antiquated. American methods would increase productivity at less expenditure of labor. However, features of the French farm work could be copied advantageously by Amricans in large scale farming." "The newest fighting corps—the 'potatriots.' Join the ranks and spud the kaiser."
