A round bronze medal, with proper inscription and designs typical of Orange county was selected as the souvenir by which the high appreciation of the people of Orange county will be perpetuated in the minds of the gallant Orange county men and women who took up the battle of freedom in the World War. The selection was made by a committee of service men from the executive committee of the Orange County Service Men's Association and was ratified by the executive committee of the Orange County War Service Recognition Association at a meeting held at the cottage of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bisby at Laguna Beach. The service men's committee consisted of Lieutenants C. D. Swanner of Santa Ana and L. W. Blodgett of Huntington Beach and Sergeants Stanley Reinhaus and George Platt of Santa Ana. The medal will be presented in a leather plush case. An order for 2000 or less, should it be determined later that this number will not be required was authorized by the committee. Names of men in the service are being gathered as rapidly as possible, in order to determine how many souvenirs should be secured. As a means of certainting how many will be in attendance at the "Home Welcoming" on September 9 at Orange County Park papers of the county have been requested to publish coupons which service men or their relatives may forward to Chas. D. Swarner, in the Farmers & Merchants Bank building, Santa Ana. Platting the park so as to as nearly as possible represent the various sections of the county, will make it possible for the men in each section to register at the headquarters of their respective districts, thus affording a splendid means of checking up on men who are in attendance, so that there will be no duplication and no confusion in awarding the medals. Mrs. A. J. Lawton will appoint a woman for each of the district headquarters to look after this particular feature. evening of August 1, about 7 o'clock, with a barbecued steak feed as one of the attractive features. Mrs. Lawton has associated a number of women with her in developing the plans. A steak barbecue is proposed as a compliment to Governor 'tephens, as he is known to enjoy a feast. Limitations must necessitate with reference to the number who will be invited to join with the governor in the barbecue. The heads of the various war activities will be invited, with their wives as will also others who are prominently identified with activities in the county. It is believed that at best the number cannot be kept below 200. "Pop" Endicott, director of the band at Anaheim, was chosen as chairman of the music committee. The committee will have charge of the brass and orchestral music for the day and will prepare the program. Endicott will select other musicians of the committee as members of his committee. It is expected that every organized band in the county will be available for the day. Executive committee members in cities maintaining bands will be responsible for the appearance of the musical organization in his city. It is hoped to have three or four platforms for dancing. They will be located in different sections of the park. It is the opinion of the committee that dancing will be one of the features that will be more greatly appreciated by the service men than any other line of entertainment. Because of this belief, the committee is giving special attention to the dancing. LOCOED MEXICAN RUNS OFF WITH CHILD Carries Baby to His Room Where It Is Recovered. Crazed by smoking marijuana, Librado Samona at Santa Ana, Friday morning grabbed a little Mexican girl baby on the sidewalk near its mother and rushed away with the child, going to his room at Garfield hotel, at the corner of Garfield and Fourth streets.

Mrs. A. J. Lawton will appoint a woman for each of the district headquarters to look after this particular feature. Mothers and fathers of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice will not be overlooked and each family will receive the county medal. Records show that there were eighteen women in the county who went into service as Red Cross nurses and they will be given the same honor as the service men. The week of August 5-12 was officially designated as the week for the big campaign to secure not less than 20,000 members for the association. The membership fee will be $1 or more, the more being for those who want to contribute a little extra to the fine cause. It is estimated that $20,000 or more will be required to put over the big holiday event. It is hoped to have every member of every family in the county represented in the membership. The different districts of the county have been assigned quotas, the basis being the percentage used in distributing the $100,000 purchase of Liberty bonds by the Board of Supervisors. The campaign in each district will be in charge of the members of the advisory committee selected to co-operate with the executive committee. The advisory committee is composed of one member from each of the districts. A meeting of the advisory committee and the executive committee will be held at Orange County Park on the RUNS OFF WITH CHILD Carries Baby to His Room Where It Is Recovered. Crazed by smoking marijuana, Librado Samona at Santa Ana, Friday morning grabbed a little Mexican girl baby on the sidewalk near its mother and rushed away with the child, going to his room at Garfield hotel, at the corner of Garfield and Fourth streets. The mother, with other children, was standing on the sidewalk near the rooming house. Motorcop Ballard was sent to rescue the child, and when he entered the room of the crazed Mexican, he found the fellow sitting on the bed, hugging the baby. Making certain that the man was not armed, Ballard took hold of him. The Mexican grabbed the baby by the arms and threw her on the bed, almost dashing her head against the side of the wall. A short scuffle ensued, Ballard finally subduing and arresting the man. Samona accompanied him peaceably to the county jail; but when effort was made to place him in a cell, he fought like wild, and it required the assistance of two or three other officers to get the man in a cell. Officer John Coombs arrived at the lodging house at about the time Ballard started for the jail, and the two officers too Samona to the bastile. A search of Samona's room by the officers failed to locate any firearms, but a large number of cartridges were found. Southern Democrats are said to be worried by the disposition of the negro to demand self-determination. Well, this self-determination can't be entirely reserved for the export trade, can it? IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) Forty feet is the best the Amalgamated Oil Company was able to make on the Potter well during the past week. The conglomerate formation here is exceptionally hard and grinds the fish tail bits away like an emery wheel. At 2030 the Amalgamated Oil Company's Yorba No. 1 is showing some oil and quite a good deal of gas in the brown shale formation. This is the first showing the well has made, and leads the management to believe that about 300 feet more of hole will insure something good. The Thomas Strain well at Placentia has given enough encouragement on a two weeks' pumping test to warrant lowering the tubing and making further pumping tests. The well is making some oil, the production being almost free from water. The next test will be made at 4200 feet, where a cement plug has been placed. The condition of the well is now better than it has been since drilling started some seven years ago. The rig marking the Union's Bastanchury No. 6, one of the deepest test wells drilled in the Brea field, is to be torn down and moved to the Chapman home place at Placentia. The deep well that was drilled to almost a mile will probably close development work on the Bastanchury property, where the Union Oil Company has tried for richfield district; in fact this company is now the largest developer of the new field. This week shows a rig being erected on the McFadden property, a rig nearing completion at Chapman No. 5, lumber on the ground for Dixson No. 1, Towell No. 1 rigged up and drilling making good progress on the Newell well and the Thompson-Goodwin well. CARELESS CAMPER STARTS DISASTROUS FOREST FIRE Four Square Miles Burned Over in Temescal Canyon. Whipped by a high wind, the fire which started in Temescal canyon at noon Wednesday from an unguarded camp fire, burned over four square miles of watershed, destroying the entire worldly possessions of a man named Castro, burned fifty stands of bees belonging to C. J. Compton and was not brought under control until 3 o'clock yesterday morning. The fire started on Temescal road at the west end of Lee Lake. From the lake the flames spread quickly across the road and into Horse Thief Canyon and before exhausted, swept four square miles of all trees and undergrowth. So swiftly did the fire progress and so intense the heat that the householders in the district carried their possessions out into the fruit orchards where they would be more quickly moved in case the flames came nearer. The camper, whose unguarded fire was responsible for the destructive visitation, disappeared shortly after the fire began to spread. The officers, however, have a pretty definite clue as to his whereabouts and hope soon... The rig marking the Union's Bastanchury No. 6, one of the deepest test wells drilled in the Brea field, is to be torn down and moved to the Chapman home place at Placentia. The deep well that was drilled to almost a mile will probably close development work on the Bastanchury property, where the Union Oil Company has tried for ten years to develop something on a par with the Standard's famous Murphy property just across the line. The Santa Ana Canyon Oil Company is rigged up and will start drilling on its Crowther property this week. The location of the well is east of anything now drilling in the new field and will prove up several hundred acres of new territory. The Standard's No. 1 on the Anaheim Union lease west of the original Kraemer is about to pass into the doubtful class. At 4150 this deep well is showing a hard sand that is not even carrying a color of oil. West of the Anaheim Union property the Standard has started its Lock No. 2. This well spudded in early in the week shows 500 feet of hole. Lock No. 1 still stands idle awaiting the outcome of the deep well on the Anaheim Union adjoining property. The Standard Oil Company has located No. 4 on the Kraemer 1 property and will start building the rig at once. Kraemer 3 has settled down to a regular production of 400 barrels daily; the well is flowing with great ease and gives every evidence of being a long lifer. The oil is 23 gravity and is clean. For the first time since drilling commenced four months ago, the Standard Kraemer 2-1 offsetting the Chapman gusher met with a fishing job that held the well up for a week and caused the loss of 100 feet of hole. Twist off of the drill pipe left three stands of pipe in the hole. This pipe is now being drilled by and new hole will be in the making again in a few days. At Kraemer 2-2 the ten-inch has been set at 2400 feet and the well is standing cemented. Collins No. 1 is drilling in a hard sand at 3100 feet. As yet no oil showings have showed up in this well and it begins to appear that so swiftly did the fire progress and so intense the heat that the householders in the district carried their possessions out into the fruit orchards where they would be more quickly moved in case the flames came nearer. The camper, whose unguarded fire was responsible for the destructive visitation, disappeared shortly after the fire began to spread. The officers, however, have a pretty definite clue as to his whereabouts and hope soon to arrest him. His offense is a serious one, and Uncle Sam is seeing to it that persons who are careless with camp fires suffer for their misdeeds. Forest Ranger Stephenson of El Toro has joined the Riverside fire warden and Forest Ranger Rutherford in an investigation. HELPING MOTHER "Good morning, children," said the arithmetic teacher. "How many of you have prepared an original problem in multiplication, as I requested?" Only one hand went up. "Well, William, you may give your problem and the rest of the class may solve it." "If my baby sister is a year old now and weighs twenty pound, and keeps on gaining two ounces a day until she is sixteen years old, and if the price of living doubles again in the next ten years, how much will my sister's graduation outfit cost? Mother says she would like to know? DO IT NOW The wastage of war, both in men and materials, is largely responsible for the present high prices, and it will undoubtedly be many years before they get back to what may be called "reasonable." During the Civil War prices rose relatively more than during the recent war, and the drop in the prices of ninety-two commodities in the decade from 1864 to 1874 was at the rate of less than six per cent per year. In building materials it averaged less than four per cent. Many are predicting that prices will continue to advance for some time to come. Very few believe there will be any material reduction and for this reason those who are planning any improvement should do it now. PEACH CROP Thirty-one of the United States are so intensely heated that the householders in the district carried their possessions out into the fruit orchards where they would be more quickly moved in case the flames came nearer. The camper, whose unguarded fire was responsible for the destructive visitation, disappeared shortly after the fire began to spread. The officers, however, have a pretty definite clue as to his whereabouts and hope soon to arrest him. His offense is a serious one, and Uncle Sam is seeing to it that persons who are careless with camp fires suffer for their misdeeds. Forest Ranger Stephenson of El Toro has joined the Riverside fire warden and Forest Ranger Rutherford in an investigation. SHOOT AT FIRE BUG Shooting at a man in an orchard, whom they believed responsible for an attempt to burn down the Citrus Association packing house on Yorba Linda boulevard, the packing house watchman and the man who discovered the blaze went to where the man was standing and found a handkerchief saturated with oil. The man succeeded in making his escape. What grievance the man had against the association to cause him to attempt destruction of the packing house, is not known. The blaze was discovered just after it had been started in a pile of boxes against the packing house. The watchman had made his rounds and had gone upstairs, when a man driving by in an auto a few seconds later discovered the blaze. The fire had not gotten under way and was easily put out. After extinguishing the flames, the watchman and the man who discovered the blaze, armed with a shotgun, started out to search the vicinity. They saw a man standing in an orchard and took two shots at him. He escaped. Going to where he was standing, they found the handkerchief saturated with oil. Whether the man was a disgruntled employee who had been discharged or was an I. W. W. is not determined. TRANSCONTINENTAL ROAD Public sentiment for or against a national transcontinental highway system is largely molded by the reports and examples set by those who actually tour from the Atlantic to the Pacific by motor car and for that reason the organized motorists of this part of California are now engaged, through the Automobile Club of Southern California, in attempting to secure the despatch of a portion of the army motor truck transport to Southern California. The Chapman well is astonishing its owners by the tremendous increase of production. Ten days ago this well was making 2700 barrels. The output has gradually increased from day to day until the astonishing figure of 4103 barrels was reached. This great volume of oil is coming through a seven-eighth-inch opening. The gas pressure stands constantly at 275 pounds and the well is performing in a most splendid manner. At the time this great well was brought in, some criticism was made against Union officials for manner in which the well was handled, but it seems that the critics will now have to admit that the men in whose care this great producer was in knew their business. Duplicating quite closely the drilling record of No. 1, Chapman No. 2 is having many fashing jobs. While drilling in the conglomerate at 1175 a twist off occurred that left 600 feet of drill pipe in the hole. An attempt is being made to wash over the lost pipe and pull it out. The Union Oil Company is leading off very strong with new work in the building materials it averaged less than four per cent. Many are predicting that prices will continue to advance for some time to come. Very few believe there will be any material reduction and for this reason those who are planning any improvement should do it now. PEACH CROP Thirty-one of the United States are listed as producing a commercial peach crop, and of these California produces one-half of the whole. Georgia is next with less than one-fifth of California's yield. The total per June estimate for this year is 31,442,000 bushels. Of California's almost 16,000,000 bushels 88% will be canned or dried. Combining all fruits California's share of United States production is probably half, yet in production of hay, grain and stock, our state ranks well up among the leaders. Give us some more water and we could just about feed the United States. ALTRUISM It is hardly possible any longer for any thoughtful man in America to seek to mislead the nation through ignorance or through misunderstanding of conditions, to talk about our being in the war from any spirit of altruism, unless altruism consists in trying to save our family from the burglar and the outrager who is breaking into the house. If that is altruism, then we went to war from altruism, but not otherwise. Let us be honest before God and face the fact that we very nearly lost our soul from lack of vision and lack of national altruism, and realize that we fought to save our own women and children from a "Made in Germany Hell." Public sentiment for or against a national transcontinental highway system is largely molded by the reports and examples set by those who actually tour from the Atlantic to the Pacific by motor car and for that reason the organized motorists of this part of California are now engaged, through the Automobile Club of Southern California, in attempting to secure the despatch of a portion of the army motor truck transport to Southern California instead of all to San Francisco. According to local reports, club officials are now in touch with the situation through Congressman H. Z. Osborne at Washington, who is taking the matter up with Colonel Ritchie in General Drake's office there, and states by telegram that there is a possibility that a part of the caravan may come to Southern California. From the attitude of the organized motoring interests, it appears that the route of the Lincoln Highway, over which the transport is weaving, from Ely, Nevada, west, is much superior coming south by way-of the Midland Trail either to Mojave or to Los Angeles. This way, the highway is open practically all of the year, while going into San Francisco over the northern branch, the road is closed practically seven months out of the year on account of heavy snow. The Automobile Club representatives point out that the organization has no inclination to divert the army transport from its original destination, but that it feels that the best and most practical route—via Southern California—should be investigated by the army officials while they are, about it. For that reason, the motorists are trying to get one-half of the trucks to make the trip to San Francisco west AUTHORIZED DODGE SALES AND SERVICE consecutive years in business in Anaheim, building the foundation for the which we now have, is a record of which we are justly proud. In that thirteen have never made a promise which we have not kept to the very best of our on that thirteen years we have guaranteed our work just like we still do and expect to continue doing. We have made no wild promises, but have consistent people what we could do and what we would do. By the employment of goods, our business has steadily grown to its present capacity. We are the Dodge Sales and Service Station in Anaheim, and have such factory connect-we are enabled to give you the very best Dodge repair work for the least —We have a full line of Auto accessories—in fact the largest and best selected in Northern Orange County.

At any rate, wires are hot to Washington to that effect, and every effort is being made. Motorists are at liberty to write Congressman Osborne on the matter, it is pointed out. GARAGE MEN TO MEET The regular meeting of the Orange County Auto Trades Association will be held at Laguna Friday evening, with the wives and sweethearts of the members being in attendance. The meeting will be held in Philbrook's hall, and in addition to the regular business meeting there will be a program of entertainment provided by the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce. The full program has not been outlined as yet, but it is possible that dancing will be a part of the evening entertainment. Anyhow the meeting will offer the craftsmen and their women an opportunity for an evening at the beach during the hot weather. Laguna is a most delightful place at which to pass an evening and the boosters of that place will see that those in attendance do not lack entertainment. Refreshments will be served at the close of the evening. The meeting is scheduled for 7 o'clock so that the business coming up for attention can be disposed of early and the remainder of the time devoted to pleasures. FARMERETTES SAVING COTS Three automobile loads of workers from the Woman's Land Army passed through Riverside on Saturday headed for Hemet, where they work in the apricot orchards and cannery, says the Press. They were recruited in response to a call for helpers sent out by Hemet and filled by A. S. Dudley, assistant secretary of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce. This unit is the first army group to take the field this season. Chaperoning the young women were three representatives of the Land Army, Miss Carrie O. Ormsby, a teacher from Santa Ana; Miss Eva G. Smith and Miss Agnes O'Connor, of Los Angeles. The women will be housed in the high school, which has been made into a dormitory and living quarters for the women fruit workers. There were 31 farmerettes in the party which went out on Saturday, and it is expected that smaller contingents will be sent out later. No. of Bank 329.
