Stops were made at principal cities along the route, and the trip afforded opportunities of seeing many points of interest. Conrad Schroff, marine, who is now training in camp at Galveston, Texas, writes that during the transfer from San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, he was in a train wreck in Arizona. Cooney had his head badly bumped and his neck twisted, but was otherwise uninjured. One marine had his arm torn off and several others more or less injured. Even the busy little bee is ding his bit for Uncle Sam, and Orange county honey will within the next few months be found in army hospitals for sick soldiers, as well as entering possibly into the regular army diet.

"If you recognize anyone here, he was in the battle-at Cantigny." This appears in a picture in a supplement of the Springfield Republican, and in the picture O. M. Robbins recognized a picture of Lieut. Stanley Chapman, son of C. C. Chapman of Fullerton. The same picture appears in the last Collier's Magazine, without any statement concerning Cantigny.

"If you recognize anyone here, he was in the battle at Cantigny." This appears in a picture in a supplement of the Springfield Republican, and in the picture O. M. Robbins recognized a picture of Lieut. Stanley Chapman, son of C. C. Chapman of Fullerton. The same picture appears in the last Collier's Magazine, without any statement concerning Cantigny. The picture shows a number of Americans and French grouped around a tank. The assault on Cantigny was on May 28. Judge Thomas on Saturday raised the bail required of Benjamin W. (Walking) Elliott, from $1,000 to $5,000. Attorney Clyde Bishop for Elliott, is making arrangements for the cash. Elliott is worth in property several times $5,000. Since District Attorney West last Monday asked that the bail required of Elliott be raised from $1,000 to $5,000, Elliott has been held in jail here pending the decision of Judge Thomas. He is the man who shot Eugene Young at La Habra, and who is now awaiting trial on a charge of attempting to kill Constable Ashley, who went to Elliott's room to arrest Elliott. "I have read the transcript," said Judge Thomas, "and I am convinced that the ball should be raised. The constable went to Elliott's room on perfectly legitimate business, and Elliott called out to him that he would kill him if he stuck his head inside the door. In the federal court in Los Angeles yesterday a man's bail was fixed at $5,000 when disloyal remarks only were involved. In this case threats and shots are involved. Elliott's trial is to occur in September."

He will go first to Bryan, Texas, where his son, Lyle, is instructor in the radio section of the officers' school, and will then proceed to Moline, Illinois, where he will watch the making of the farm tractor for which his company has the local agency. It is possible he may go as far as Chicago and visit the International Harvester works. Mr. Wickersheim plans to be away about three weeks. WHEAT AND SUGAR There is lots of wheat and sugar in the world outside of the Teutonic countries—enough for all the world's uses. Wheat is being stored in Australia in huge quantities. Tens of thousands of tons of sugar are procurable in the Far East. The difficulty is not in production, but with distribution. Under normal conditions these supplies would be available for the world's use and none need stint in the consumption of either sugar or wheat flour. As it is the United States and the Allied nations simply cannot spare the shipping to carry Notification has been received by the Southern California Edison Company that its application for an increase of its electric rates has been set for a hearing by the State Railroad Commission for August 19th, at the offices of the commission in Los Angeles. The application was filed in San Francisco on July 13th, and sets forth that the increased cost of operation, incident to war conditions, has resulted in a corresponding increase in the cost of the generation and distribution of electricity, which renders an advance in rates necessary, in order that the company may continue to render efficient service and perform its duty to the public. Attorneys Clyde Bishop and Leonard Evans have put in a plea for probation for W. E. Wright, orange grower of Fullerton, convicted of driving while intoxicated an automobile that injured four Home Guards officers at Fullerton. The plea for probation will be strongly opposed by District Attorney West. This morning was the time set for Wright's sentence. Upon the request of the defense for probation, Judge Thomas set the matter over until next Saturday at 9:30 o'clock. Witnesses will be summoned by both the prosecution, opposing probation, and by the defense, asking for probation. Fullerton has had its first victory demonstration and it was an unqualified success from the large attendance to the excellent quality of the program. The object of these demonstrations is to build up the morale of the citizens to better prepare them for the sorrows and grief that must follow the continuation of the war, and to educate them to better understand their duty to the government in this great crisis. That the victory committee of the board of trade has made no mistake in the character of the demonstration was thoroughly attested on this first occasion. The Taxpayers' League of Orange county is on record as opposing all county candidates who were members of the delegation that went to Huntington Beach about two years ago to express their confidence in Supervisor Tom Talbert, after he had been asked by the league to resign. Resolutions declaring that men who attended that page of this paper will explain how you can reach the ranch. Judge Walter Bordwell, candidate for governor, was in town a few hours Saturday. He was introduced to a large number of people by Supervisor William Schumacher, who accompanied him. The Orange county 24-Karat Club held a meeting and banquet at the Oyster Loaf Monday evening. This is an organization of the jewelers of the county. Sixteen members attended the meeting and report a pleasant and profitable session. J. M. Backs was visiting friends in town Monday. Mr. Backs has canvassed a large portion of the county and is well satisfied with the outlook for his election as county clerk. He has received the endorsement of Judges West and Thomas, and nearly the entire membership of the bar association of the county. Don Trapp, of El Toro, one of the Orange county volunteers, was killed in France according to word received by his father, Robert Trapp Tuesday. He was killed in battle on the 16th of June. Trapp was only 18 years old when he enlisted. Mr. and Mrs. J. Leslie Swope and Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Mullinix spent Sunday at Laurel Canyon. The steel flag pole which W. E. Alexander presented to the city is being planted this week at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets. Reckless autoists who have occasionally bumped the silent policeman off its foundation, will probably come to grief unless they are more careful in turning this busy corner. Charles E. Vogle, real estate agent, of Fullerton, hanged himself Wednesday to a walnut tree and had been dead several hours when his body was discovered by his brother, W. N. Vogle and W. W. Krick, both of Placentia. Vogle's wife has been in a hospital at Anaheim for some time and it allowed her to dependency over her son, Lyle, instructor in the radio section of the officers' school, and will then proceed to Moline, Illinois, where he will watch the making of the farm tractor for which his company has the local agency. It is possible he may go as far as Chicago and visit the International Harvester works. Mr. Wickershelm plans to be away about three weeks. Big Bear Lake will be stocked with about 750,000 trout this season. Within the past two weeks 450,000 trout have been planted in the lake and more are to follow. The hatchery in Big Bear had 550,000 two-months-old trout for planting and already has planted about 250,000 in various streams in the San Bernardino mountains. Plantings have been made in Bear Creek, at North and South Forks, in the Santa Ana and in Holcomb Valley. Fishing has been fair on the lake and in the streams the past few weeks, many limits being caught daily. This is particularly so on Big Bear Lake. With the various camps around the lake taxed to capacity to accommodate vacationists who have gone there for fishing and recreation, the streams and lake are alive with fishermen, many of whom are novices and who get nothing for their time and efforts. Experienced fishermen, however, usually make catches. Bear Valley has been a lively place all summer. Notwithstanding the fact that many new cabins have been built in some of the camps and new camps are being opened, many have found it... The Taxpayers' League of Orange county is on record as opposing all county candidates who were members of the delegation that went to Huntington Beach about two years ago to express their confidence in Supervisor Tom Talbert, after he had been asked by the league to resign. Resolutions declaring that men who attended that meeting, or any similar meeting, were opposed to the Taxpayers' League, were adopted at a meeting of the league Saturday afternoon. The meeting was held in Santa Ana and the attendance was fair. One of the special feaures of the convention of the G. A. R. and W. R. C. encampment at Huntington Beach was the recital arranged by Thomas Askin on Wednesday evening. Mr. Askin sang "The Two Marlone'tes," Burleigh's "Her Eyes Twin Pools," Clay's "The Sands of Dee," "The Monk in the Wine Cellar," "The Blind Plowman," "Stone Cracker John," and other numbers. The final group was composed of musical adaptations, with song, gesture and recitation. His numbers were Clough-Leghter's "Song of the Sword," from the opera "Tofana," and Oley Speaks' "When the Boys Come Home." The latter number, with the first verses presented as a reading and the last verse sung as written, is highly effective. For encore the singer gave the popular, "Freedom For All For Ever," by Hilliam. Mr. Askin will appear at a Red Cross concert in this city tonight, and during the week of August 26, together with the Trilliums, a woman's quartet which he is coaching, he will sing for the soldiers at Camp Kearny. Charles E. Vogle, real estate agent, of Fullerton, hanged himself Wednesday day to a walnut tree and had been dead several hours when his body was discovered by his brother, W. N. Vogle and W. W. Krick, both of Placentia. Vogle's wife has been in a hospital at Anaheim for some time and it is believed that despondency over her condition brought about Vogle's act. After adjusting the rope, Vogle stood on a saw horse and jumped off. Death was due to strangulation. Coroner Winbigler held an Inquest Wednesday night.

Lake taxed to capacity to accommodate vacationists who have gone there for fishing and recreation, the streams and lake are alive with fishermen, many of whom are novices and who get nothing for their time and efforts. Experienced fishermen, however, usually make catches. Bear Valley has been a lively place all summer. Notwithstanding the fact that many new cabins have been built in some of the camps and new camps are being opened, many have found it difficult to secure accommodations when going up without making reservations in advance. The valley is a delightful spot to spend a vacation. For those who like fishing and mountain trails it is particularly attractive. For those who do not enjoy these sports, lounging spots abound in the pine woods for rest and comfort. BAND CONCERT Following is the program for the band concert tonight: 1. March, Under Fire... Losey 2. Overture, Poet and Peasant... Suppe 3. Fantasia... My Old Kentucky Home 4. Hawaiian Selection... M. L. Lake 5. Selection... Offenbacher Star Spankled Banner. S. E. Jessup of Buena Park has been charged with disturbance of the peace. He was arrested by Policeman John Ryan at Santa Ana at 4 o'clock in the morning. Ryan says that Jessup had brought his sister-in-law to a home in Santa Ana, and became angered over something and had used bad language and had allowed his automobile to run continuously while his machine stood still, causing a disturbance to people living nearby. SEASON END CLEARANCE Prices Are Now In Effect In Every Department. Buy Now for Future Needs. Falkenstein's Department Store HOUSEWIVES ASSISTED BY TRAINED WOMEN Branch to Be Added to County Farm Bureau System The food production bill now in Congress appropriates funds for food production and conservation through the work of county and city women agents who will work through the homes to increase food production and conservation. It is planned to establish in California 20 county home demonstration agents, and 13 city agents, under the direction of the University of California and the United States Department of Agriculture. These are to be a part of the county farm bureau system and will be established under an arrangement similar to that of the county farm advisors. Already seven counties of California have made provision with the board of supervisors to meet the expenses of these women: these are Alameda, Imperial, San Diego, Los Angeles, Kern, San Bernardino and Riverside. Other counties follow as rapidly as the board of supervisors meet since it is evident that the women of the state are desirous for the services of these representatives of the federal government. The work will be directed from the University of California by Miss Harriet G. Eddy as assistant professor of agricultural extension, acting as state home demonstration leader. Miss Eddy brings to this work a knowledge of California and of rural organization which assures the success of this new war activity. Miss Eddy, who was educated at Albion college and the University of Chicago, later studied successful rural organization in France, Germany, and Switzerland, and nine years ago became the organizer of the county library system in California which now covers 42 counties and is certainly equalled by no other organization like character. The county library system of California which penetrates into every hamlet and village of the counties concerned, is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of local educational machinery ever built. Of the organizing of this work Miss Eddy has had charge from the beginning. During the last five years the county farm bureau system has grown until it now covers 36 counties of California which represent 85 per cent of the farms of the state, and which has 20,000 members. Miss Eddy comes to take charge of the women's side of the farm bureau enterprise, bringing to it her knowledge of organization and her intimate experience with California conditions. In each of the counties concerned a branch of the county farm bureau will be established to be known as the farm home department of the farm bureau, which will act as the direct agency to carry out the recommendations of the department of agriculture and the University of California for the women's work in food production and conservation. Active co-operation is established with the federal food administration, both at Washington and in California, the two agencies working in the closest harmony for the objects planned. Under Miss Eddy's direction there will be two main divisions of the work which will place women in the country and in the city to advise housekeepers on the production of home gardens, the care of flocks of poultry, on canning and preservation of foods, the substitution of non-essentials and the elimination of waste in kitchens. Since the women of California have long been desirous of obtaining the services of trained agents to assist in their organization of the home economic problems in the state, this new war activity will fill a long felt want.
