A NEW ONE FOR VERY YOUNG MEN IT'S only one of the many spirited designs we're showing for the young fellows in school or in business. Hart Schaffner & Marx have a way of knowing what young men want; we make it a point to have plenty of the models. WEAR That's an important item with young men; they put their clothes to hard tests. These suits will stand the "gaff"—guaranteed. DESIGNS Waist-seams are here in this Prep style; Varsity suits; all the best things Hart Schaffner & Marx do; something for every taste.

Total shipments of lemons from California from September 1st to June 14th are 28 per cent greater than the bumper crop of 1917 and 92 per cent greater than the short supply of last year. The Exchange marketed 86 per cent of the May shipments. The movement through the organization for the Exchange fiscal year will probably run to nearly 9000 cars, which would establish a new record. Up to June 14, 1919, the Exchange had shipped 7,687 cars of lemons since September 1st. For the same period last year only 3,995 carloads had been rolled out by the organization and in 1917 there had been 6,004 cars sent east. The satisfactory increase has been made possible by a variety of factors among which are a satisfactory buying power throughout the country and the fact that other fruits and food products are high in price. The Exchange sales organization and the wholesale and retail trade have been geared up into high power with the promise of a bumper crop. Every hamlet in the country has been combed systematically for new buyers. Prohibition must be given its share of credit for the increased demand for natural thirst quenchers and the effect of five years' continual educational advertising to teach the public the lemon's many uses is being felt now stronger than ever. After a year of short supply the public is glad to buy the lemon for its versatile usefulness, even though as yet there has been no continued hot weather in the east. The housewife promises to keep demand ahead of supply. IT PAID TO MARRY Uncle Sam has been kind to Mrs. Amanda Smith-Jones-Jackson, a negress, whom fate robbed of three soldier husbands, and is paying her $172.50 per month as endowment payments on $10,000 life insurance policies each of her former husbands held. When Uncle Sam went to war and began the task of organizing the national army the finger of fate directed the hand groping in the big glass bowl in the senate office building, and there issued therefrom early in the drawing the number of one Jones, husband of Mrs. Amanda Jones, whose present address the war risk bureau is now guarding jealously. The mills of the gods and the war department ground on. Jones reported for duty, was inducted into the service and soon thereafter died of spinal meningitis. But not until he had taken out a $10,000 insurance policy. Widowed Mrs. Jones soon said "yes" to another soldier by the name of Smith, saw him march away to war, and in time learned through the war department he had died a soldier's death, having been killed in action. Came then the armistice, the returning victors, the return of normal conditions, and Mrs. Amanda Jones-Smith put aside her grief when Private Jackson asked her to essay a third venture in matrimony. The ceremony was performed and the wife was named as benficary in the bridegroom's government policy for $10,000. A little later influenza succeeded where the Germans had failed and the bride was widowed for the third time in less than two years.

The value of the diamonds in the United States at the present time is apparently more than $1,000,000,000. As early as 1900 a distinguished diamond expert of the United States said: "It may be safely said that $500,000,000 worth of diamonds are owned in the United States," and a compilation just made by the National City Bank of New York shows that the value of diamonds imported since 1900 is $506,000,000. This alone would bring the total value of the diamonds of the country above the billion dollar line, but when it is remembered that $175,000,000 worth of the diamonds imported since 1900 came in the uncut state, and that their value was doubled by the cutting process which occurred within this country, it is apparent that the value of the stock in the country is considerably more than $1,000,000,000, to say nothing of the further fact that prices of diamonds have increased materially during the war. About one-half of the world's diamonds are now apparently owned in the United States. An estimate made in 1900 by the authority above quoted put the value of the world's stock of diamonds at rather more than $1,000,000,000, and indicated that the United States then owned about one-third of the total known stock. With the rapid additions to our own stock through the importation of $506,000,000 worth since 1900; it seems probable that fully one-half of the world's stock of diamonds is now held in the United.

CAUGHT A MOONSHINER Caught beside his homemade still in the cellar of an abandoned ranch house in East Fifteenth street, near the Cucamonga wash, according to officers who arrested him, Marco Blaich, an Austrian, was placed in jail at Upland for removal to San Bernardino county, where he will be arraigned before a United States commissioner. Blaich is said to have constructed a neat still, using burnished copper coils and boilers, and to have had a fire going under his boiler and seven and a half barrels of cornmash in readiness when the officers swooped down on his moonshine establishment. Blaich is said to have admitted that he intended to store up whisky against the drouth scheduled to begin next month. WANTS CASE REOPENED Notice that it is going to seek to vacate a judgment rendered against it by Judge Williams on May 22 and make a motion for a new trial has been filed by the Hogue-Kellogg company, bean buyers, in the suit brought by William Schumacher of Buena Park. Schumacher grew sixteen acres of Henderson bush limas last year on contract to the Hogue-Kellogg company at 10½ cents a pound and alleged he delivered 15,440 pounds of "sound, dry, and first-class" beans which at contract price were worth $421.20 more than he had been paid. He sued for collection of this amount as balance due, and won a judgment. The defendant contended that only 14,823 pounds of the beans were in sound, dry, and first-class condition. The defendant seeks a new trial on the ground of new evidence, insufficiency of plaintiff's evidence because, they allege, the May 22 decision was against the law. IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) For the first time in six years the Thomas Strain well is pumping more oil than water. Repeated attempts to shut off the deep water have failed, but it seems now that the trick has been done. At 4200 feet a heavy cement plug was put in, the well put on the pump a few days ago, and the output is gradually lessening in water and increasing in oil. One of the remarkable wells now producing in Southern California is the Columbia Oil Company's No. 8 on the Orange lease at Brea. The well has been producing for the past six years and during that time it has made 400 barrels daily; the production during this entire time has never varied more than 25 barrels. During the long time the well has been flowing it has never stopped nor has the tubing been pulled or any work of any kind done on the well. On its Yorba property the Amalgamated is making some good drilling time. The log of the well shows 2000 feet, the formation being brown shale, and the continuance of drilling should be rapid. This well has shown as yet. However, the depth is not sufficient to show anything of importance. Seventy-five feet is the record made by the Amalgamated on the Potter well for the week. This is considered very good for the hard conglomerate in which the tools have been working. Drilling through the long stratum of hard sand and tough conglomerate by the twenty or more companies at Richfield has given rise to so many difficulties with drill pipe twisting off that the matter is now being given serious consideration. Officials of the National Tube Company come out from the East last week and spent considerable time going over the situation with the operators. As many as sixty twist-offs have occurred in one well, and not a well drilling in the Richfield district has been able to make any hole to speak of without being constantly delayed with fishing jobs that are caused by the rotary pipe twisting off. It seems that the pipe will break off square a few fee back from the joints. Heretofore it has been the joints that have caused most of the trouble. National Tube officials promise to study the cause of the pipe's weakness and will attempt to remedy the trouble as soon as possible. COMMITTEE TO COVER WIDE FIELD OF INQUIRY Investigators of War Department to Give People Full Information. Referring to the magnitude of the field to be covered by the special committee of fifteen members to investigate war expenditures, Representative Campbell of Kansas presented interesting figures. "During the period that the United States has been engaged in war," said Mr. Campbell, "the War Department has expended to May 1, 1919, $16,300,000,000. "Expenditures for aircraft, $948,000,000." will allow public institutions in Washington to buy surplus foodstuffs of the War and Navy departments. This is the surplus stored up by those departments, a surplus which is hurting the consumer rather than helping him. It is the idea of Mr. Moore that if the surplus is sold in this country so it will be used here, even if sold to institutions and not to the consumer direct, it will tend to relieve soaring prices. The consumers, too, he thinks ought to be given a chance to get direct relief. "We read almost daily now," said Mr. Moore, "of large quantities of canned goods, particularly meats, that are stored up here and abroad by the War Department, and possibly by the Navy Department, that are no longer usable for war purposes, and we hear on the floor of the Mouse the suggestion that the War Department and the Navy Department are practically aiding the canners, the packers, or whatever instrumentality produces these food products, by not disposing of them for public use, because of the possibility of reducing the price to the consumer, and affecting the present market status. I am inclined to think that some international understanding was had on this subject—a very important one to the consumers, and a very serious one to the poor people in the great congested communities who are almost deprived or meat now, because of the high price of beef and pork and supplies of that kind. I say I am inclined to think that there may have been an international understanding upon this question. At any rate it is almost time for us to consider whether we shall enter a wedge here about that served for there since understandable producer our alliance is a broad consumer stage of fair that States we have stored derer the Navy under the people questioning the hoarder a start bury by provisions that common surplus of Navy Draft which they against that we A breather called an anarchist factor in that they are so vile "Parlour both of distinct rail at other whale to change it were They are poorest who are mated is making some good drilling time. The log of the well shows 2000 feet, the formation being brown shale, and the continuance of drilling should be rapid. This well has shown as yet. However, the depth is not sufficient to show anything of importance. Seventy-five feet is the record made by the Amalgamated on the Potter well for the week. This is considered very good for the hard conglomerate in which the tools have been working. The hard stuff underlying this field can be cut so fast and no faster, regardless of the kind of tools used or the method of drilling. Of all the wells that have started drilling in the Richfield since the advent of the Union's big Chapman, not one has escaped the hard conglomerate formation. The Clark Oil Company, drilling on the Hugo Wetzell property, is drilling in the hard stuff at a little better than a thousand feet. After being drilled to a depth of 2650 feet and showing oil in all the formations pierced after the drill left the 2300 mark, the Fullerton Oil Company's Travis well came in a few days ago a disappointment. The well will only pump at intervals, mud and shale seeming to stop the flow and movement of the oil, so that up to date the well has not made a very satisfactory showing. The location of this test well is on property adjoining the Standard Kraemer No.1, on which the first well came in doing 125 barrels. The Fullerton well looked so much better than the Standard's well that at least a 300 or 500-barrel well was expected. Unless the well makes a better showing in the next few days it will be drilled deeper. On the Bradford property near Richfield the Petroleum-Development Company has three wells drilling. No.1 is drilling in the conglomerate at 720 feet. No.2 is in a gray shale, a rather peculiar formation for the field, and shows 825 feet of hole. No.3 is close to 700 feet, drilling in clay. The Petroleum Development Company has a well rigged up ready for drilling in the town of Richfield. Barring fishing jobs or other mishaps, the Standard's Kraemer 2-1, offsetting the Union's Chapman gusher, will be the next producing well in the field. The Standard's well is drilling Referring to the magnitude of the field to be covered by the special committee of fifteen members to investigate war expenditures, Representative Campbell of Kansas presented interesting figures. "During the period that the United States has been engaged in war," said Mr. Campbell, "the War Department has expended to May 1, 1919, $16,300,000,000. "Expenditures for aircraft, $948,000,000. "Expenditures for ordnance, $4,323,000,000. "Expenditures for camps, cantonments, and manufacturing establishment, $974,000,000. "Res., $10,005,000,000. "Average expenditures of the War Department for three years prior to the beginning of the war: Fiscal year 1914 ... $123,500,000 Fiscal year 1915 ... $126,000,000 Fiscal year 1916 ... $132,000,000 "The people of the United States are entitled to know just how that money was expended, and in order to advise the country as to the manner in which it was expended it will be necessary for a committee of this House to make such an investigation as contemplated in this resolution." WANTS GOVERNMENT TO UNLOAD Complaints of the high cost of living and especially extreme prices for foodstuffs, which are being made to members of House and Senate constantly, have resulted in the House adopting an amendment to the District of Columbia appropriation bill by Representative Moore of Pennsylvania which that some international understanding was had on this subject—a very important one to the consumers, and a very serious one to the poor people in the great congested communities who are almost deprived or meat now, because of the high price of beef and pork and supplies of that kind. I say I am inclined to think that there may have been an international understanding upon this question. At any rate it is almost time for us to consider whether we shall enter a wedge here in the interests of the United States that will break this combination, whatever it may be, and help our own people obtain cheaper food. "For a time there was a suspicion that our allies, by reason of their war necessities, were able to obtain and sell to their consumers, not to their armies, but to their consumers in civil life, meat supplies and food supplies generally much more cheaply than we could sell them to our consumers in the United States. We had considerable evidence before us from time to time that you could buy meat cheaper in London than you could buy it in New York. "It certainly was true in regard to flour and certain other food products. But I read morning that Great Britain evidently is wincing under the high prices that prevail there, and that there might, after all, be something to this suggestion of an international understanding—or in abrogation thereof—for Great Britain has demanded of New Zealand that it come to the assistance of Great Britain to beat down the packers' prices in the United States. I am not contending especially against the packers. I do not know" BEAN GROWERS, Why tie up your bean crop for know what NET returns will be real No. 2 is in a gray shale, a rather peculiar formation for the field, and shows 825 feet of hole. No. 3 is close to 700 feet, drilling in clay. The Petroleum Development Company has a well rigged up ready for drilling in the town of Richfield. Barring fishing jobs or other mishaps, the Standard's Kraemer 2-1, offsetting the Union's Chapman gusher, will be the next producing well in the field. The Standard's well is drilling at close to 2700 feet, which means that there is only about 400 feet more to go. Kraemer 2-2 is drilling close to 2000 feet. Collins No. 1 shows 2900 feet of hole. Here the conglomerate dipped rather deep, and it is expected that the oil sand will bear the same relationship. On the property leased from the Anaheim Union Water Company at Yorba Linda the Standard has a test well drilling at almost 4100 feet. The formation shows a hard sand with very little oil indications. Lock No. 1, on adjoining property, is being held pending the outcome of the deep well. The Union's Chapman well is now quieted down and making a uniform production of 2700 barrels daily. The flow of oil is 23 gravity, cutting less than two-tenths of one per cent. The foreign matter is sand; not a particle of water has been found in the oil. The change from standard to rotary tools by the Union at Chapman No. 2 is getting the hole down faster. Twenty feet a day is now being made, where only five and six feet were being drilled with the heavy standard tools. No. 3 came into the conglomerate formation early. At 300 feet the hard conglomerate was struck and some slow drilling is expected.

I say that there may national understandon. At any rate us to consider over a wedge here about their situation, but I have observed for two or three years that there seems to have been a complete understanding between the great meat producers of the United States and our allies on the other side. If there is a break now and our allies and their consumers are to receive the advantage of low meat prices, I think it is fair that the consumers in the United States were also considered. If we have stored up in our warehouses under the direction of the Army and Navy untold tons of food supplies that the people might use, it is a grave question whether we should permit the hoarding to go on. We can make a start here in the District of Columbia by providing that our public institutions that have to be supported by the common people may buy some of these surplus materials that the War and Navy Departments can not use, and which they seem to be storing up against the public for some reason that we do not understand." PARLOR ANARCHISTS A breed by themselves, what are called and popularly known as "parlor anarchists" would be an interesting factor in life were it not for the fact that they know so little and that they are so wholly useless. "Parlor anarchists" are composed of both of the human sexes. They are a distinct class of men and women who rail at conditions as they are, no matter what they are, and who do nothing to change those conditions, if indeed it were best to change them at all. They are theorists whose theories are poorly digested. They are folks who are afflicted with superficial ple to government in any shape or form, but he was not in favor of murder, assassination or bomb-throwing. Tolstoi was a Russian nobleman and the owner of an estate. He was rear- ed in the purple and born "with a silver spoon in his mouth," as the saying has it. He preferred, however, to live like a peasant. He chopped his own wood and wore poor clothes. He attempted to give away the products of his pen, which were in great demand and he would have done so had it not been that his wife put in her legal claim for them. Now, these parlor anarchists take exactly the opposite course from that taken by Tolstoi. They warm themselves at steam radiators, they would not know what an ax is if you put one in front of their faces with a label on it. To their minds, sweat is a useless thing from any point of view. They even view perspiration with opposition. Sometimes they lure an honest soul into their councils. But, aside from that, they do no harm that we can see. Not that they haven't the will to do harm, but because they are constitutionally and fundamentally incapable of it. FARM BOOKKEEPING The United States Department of Agriculture is undertaking to find out the exact cost of production of farms. There are three methods, one by accurate bookkeeping on the farm; another by personal interviews with farmers, and a third by mailed questionnaires. But all of them come back to the same thing—an accurate record FARM BOOKKEEPING The United States Department of Agriculture is undertaking to find out the exact cost of production of farms. There are three methods, one by accurate bookkeeping on the farm; another by personal interviews with farmers, and a third by mailed questionnaires. But all of them come back to the same thing—an accurate record of cost of production kept by the farmer himself. Without such a record, his replies to oral or written questions cannot be conclusive. A great part of farm production still goes by guess. If a year's operations show a balance on the right side the farmer is satisfied. Very often he cannot tell what a given product contributed to the balance or whether it contributed anything. In that case he is only guessing as to whether some other product, requiring no greater investment of land and labor, would not have yielded a better return. Accurate farm cost accounting is not difficult or burdensome matter. A farm without an accurate set of books is not equipped to take the best advantage of its opportunities. The department's undertaking will be valuable in proportion as it is representative. The more accurate farm books it can consult the more surely is can answer various questions of importance to agriculture. A time is coming when a farm that cannot show an accurate record of its transactions will be as out of date as a farm with a wooden plow-share.
