Under the county government bill, effective Tuesday, July 22, an extra deputy is allowed in the office of County Clerk J. M. Backs, to take care of the constantly increasing county business. For this position Backs has selected Kenneth E. Morrison, formerly an employee of the Holly Sugar corporation. Morrison is now familiarizing himself with his new duties, which he officially assumes next Tuesday, and is slated to be one of the clerks in the superior court. A. L. Hitchcock, who is now clerk of Department 2, and long-time employee of the office, will be made chief deputy under Backs. Investigations are to be made through agents working under John P. Carter, internal revenue collector, whose office is in Los Angeles, to determine whether or not it is true that any retail dealers have used the necessity of collecting war tax from customers as an excuse for raising the prices of articles other than those upon which a war tax is imposed. The government is determined to break up the practice of dealers making the war taxes an excuse for "gouging" consumers for extra pennies wherever possible. Its investigators will cover all the territory in Southern California from Bakersfield to San Diego. Special attention will be given to Orange, Riverside, Kern, Santa Barbara and San Bernardino counties. John S. Bancroft, one of the early settlers of this region, died at his home in Los Angeles Saturday at the age of 64. With his parents he came to Anaheim in 1870, settling on a ranch on Orangethorpe avenue. He learned the printer's trade, and for a time was employed in the Gazette office. After leaving here he worked at Tucson, Arizona, and at Santa Barbara, finally joining the composing room force of the Los Angeles Herald, where he was employed at the time of his death. He was the oldest man in point of service on the Herald. He is survived by his wife and two brothers.

A city ordinance provides that when a person contemplates the erection of a building a permit must first be secured. Quite often it so happens that applications are read out in meetings of the council and then it is discovered that the aforesaid building is well under way—in some instances the structure being finished before the permit is given consideration by the board. The same rapidity pertains to the moving of houses. The other evening a moving permit was up before the trustees and upon inquiry it was found that the house had been moved and relocated upon its new site. Of course, the permit was granted, but some day there may be trouble—the board might order the house moved back—maybe. Richard Krebs and family of Azusa, came down Sunday on a visit to Mrs. Clara Fisher. Otto Krebs was in the party, which was an agreeable surprise to his aunt, Mrs. Fisher, who was not aware that he had been discharged from the army. Otto was one of the first Anaheim boys to go to Camp Lewis, and after serving throughout the war got his discharge and reached home July 4. He has numerous friends in Anaheim who are glad to welcome him home. The big bill board on North Los Angeles street erected some years ago by Fred Gresswell, has proven something of an elephant to the board of trade, as the owner of the land demands rental for the space. When the brewery quit business and cancelled its advertising contract Gresswell presented the board to the board of trade. Six months ago it was sold for one year to Albert Graham for $13. Mr. Graham did not feel justified in putting an expensive sign on it for only a year's time, consequently he turned it back to the board Monday night. It was again put up at auction and sold to the C. B. Berger company for $50. Then somebody conceived the idea that the board of trade should own the board and cover it with booster literature, consequently Mr. Berger withdrew his bid and twenty-five members volunteered to pay the annual expense of maintaining the sign. Mary Urbana de Santiago, aged 16, wants to marry Richard Mason of Anaheim, but both her father and mother are dead, and there is no one legally authorized to give consent for her to wed. In order that the girl may be married with proper consent, a petition has been filed asking that Norbeta Blanco be appointed the girl's guardian. When the guardian is appointed, she will immediately consent to the match, and the ceremony can be legally performed.

Clyde Webb arrived at home last week, has received his discharge from the army. He was with the forces in France and saw much hard service, but reaches home unscratched, well and happy. Oliver Hill, who was so unfortunate as to fall from a ladder, while picking apricots a few weeks ago, and who was laid up for a couple of weeks, is now able to be up and around. Oliver says he had a bad fall and hopes it will be the last. Captain Stanley Chapman is on his way home from the seat of war. Nothing definite as to his arrival has been received by his father, but his friends would not be surprised to see him drop in any day. New officers were installed by Anaheim Encampment No. 105, I. O.

Old weather Joe Hatfield of Los Angeles was in town last week on a brief business visit. He has been running a grocery store and meat market at the corner of Melrose and Western avenues, but has disposed of it. Captain Leland Hatfield was recently given a commission in the regular army as first lieutenant, and will remain in the service. Audubon Valjean came down from Los Angeles the first of the week and visited with his mother and sister. Dr. Janss is making plans to erect several bungalows on his lots on West Center street, costing about $6000. According to reports from the large fruit centers, all canneries are working full blast and sending out a general plea for more help. Hundreds of women and girls are making good money during the summer vacation period. All of the canneries have improved living and housing conditions, making it unnecessary to take along camping outfits, such as obtained a few years back. However, many whole families who follow up the fruit picking and canning season, have their own outfits and enjoy camp life while they are making good money. The standard of wages is higher this year than formerly, which is also attractive. Otto Schroeder has filed petition asking partial distribution of the estate of Ernest Schroeder, Los Alamitos baker, who died alone and uncered for several months ago. In spite of his squall surroundings, Schroeder had amassed an estate now valued at $31,740.31.

That was the question which confronted Frederico Martinez of the Smelzer district on July 2. He drew the knife, and was promptly arrested, charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The complaint was sworn to by Marie Esquival. Martinez was in court for hearing Friday afternoon and was released because of insufficient evidence. He promised to leave the county. At the hearing it was brought out that Martinez was enamored of Marle, but she did not return his advances. When he went to her home on July 2, Marle and another woman started beating him up with clubs and gave him a sound thrashing. Justice Cox thought the would-be Romeo had been punished enough by the beating and let Martinez go on his promise to "beat it." Chispa Chapter, Eastern Star, entertained the past matrons and past patrons of Los Angeles and Orange counties Monday evening, a long list of guests from various points being present. An interesting program was given, after which the guests were banqueted, nearly two hundred persons being seated at the tables. Among the guests were Maude B. Sibley, grand conductress, and Mida M. Hall, deputy district grand matron of the 35th district. GROWING OF SWEET POTATOES Irish potatoes as a commercial crop have a rapidly growing rival in sweet potatoes. Within the last 10 years the farm value of the latter crop in this country has doubled and now is second only to Irish potatoes in commercial importance. To assist growers who are not familiar with the culture and storage of sweet potatoes the United States department of agriculture has recently published Farmer Irving Gates, guide, C. C. Sheeby first watch, George Schanck, second watch, Dan Naugle, third watch, George Richardson, fourth watch, B. V. Beebe and H. Meiser, guards of the tent. Walnut growers are looking forward to one of the largest crops this season ever harvested. Trees are loaded and the nuts have now reached such size that no fear of dropping is had because of climatic conditions. Old weather prophets incline to believe the peak has been reached in the hot weather, line, and look for no excessively hot spells. The recent warm temperature no doubt has been felt more keenly on account of scant rainfall this season but there has been no damage—in fact the warmth has been of benefit to growing crops, where there is irrigation. Growers look for good prices and altogether the walnut men are feeling fine. Fred Minyard has returned from a camping trip to Big Bear. Otto Schroeder has filed petition asking partial distribution of the estate of Ernest Schroeder, Los Alamitos baker, who died alone and uncered for several months ago. In spite of his squalid surroundings, Schroeder had amassed an estate now valued at $31,740.31. The petitioner claims he is entitled to one-fifth of the estate, and asks the court to distribute to him at the present time five lots at Los Alamitos, an automobile, jewelry and personal property of a total valuation of $1834.50. Forty members of the Presbyterian church motored down to Balboa Friday evening and serenaded Prof. and Mrs. Thomas Askin, who are spending a couple of months at the beach before beginning housekeeping at Anaheim. A moonlight row on the ocean was enjoyed by the party before returning home. Frank Dyer is taking his annual vacation at the Anaheim Landing. FALKENS SEMI=ANNUAL SALE NOW Every Department Off Seasonable and Wanted Irish potatoes as a commercial crop have a rapidly growing rival in sweet potatoes. Within the last 10 years the farm value of the latter crop in this country has doubled and now is second only to Irish potatoes in commercial importance. To assist growers who are not familiar with the culture and storage of sweet potatoes the United States department of agriculture has recently published Farmers' Bulletin 999, "Sweet Potato Growing," which discusses the subject from the preparation of the soil and growing of the plants to harvesting, storing, and marketing the crop. Sweet potatoes can be grown under a wide range of conditions for home use, says the bulletin, but when they are to be produced commercially careful consideration should be given to the necessity of suitable soil, favorable climate, accessible market, ample transportation and proper storage. Storage is of great importance, for if the crop is improperly cured and stored it will decay rapidly and the whole year's work will be lost. But it is possible by improved methods to hold sweet potatoes for several months at practically no loss. This crop is propagated by plants produced by sprouting sweet potatoes in warm sand. Potatoes from which the plants are to be grown should be planted in early spring in hotbeds. In the South, where no bottom heat is necessary, cold frames may be used successfully. Good plants are necessary for a successful crop, for a big harvest depends largely upon the way the plants start off after being removed from the plant bed and set in the field or garden. Angeles was in brief business running a grocery store at the corner of Corn avenues, but Captain Leland given a commission as first lieutenant in the service.

Brunworth and children and Henry Kroeger, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Bradley of Riverside, went down to Seal Beach Sunday. Evangelist Brown preached to a large congregation at high school auditorium Sunday morning. He is now holding revival services at Long Beach.

Martenet, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Staples and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Irvine. By the use of every kind of fish bait known, with poles that ranged from a willow rod to the highest priced whale-bone, about 150 men, women and children gathered along the lake in Orange County Park Saturday afternoon, and at the arrival of 4 o'clock the fishing flesta began. For three hours the sport was kept up, says the Register. There are just about as many black bass in the lake today as there were Saturday morning, for only one was caught. It was a big three-pounder, brought in by City Attorney G. H. Scott, who employed a spinner. Supervisor T. B. Talbert caught a good-sized blue-gill. There were scores of little perch brought in. The limit for the day was ten fish or five pounds. Nobody got the poundage limit but Articles of incorporation of the Riverview Oil Company, which plans operations east of this city, were filed with the county clerk Monday. The company is incorporated for a period of fifty years, with principal place of business at Fullerton, and a capitalization of $200,000, with 20,000 shares of a par value of $10 each. The company has a 500-acre lease in the Golden State tract east of Anaheim, where drilling operations will be carried on. There are seven directors, E. K. Benchley, W. S. Ritchie, James Kammerdiener, F. C. Krause and G. W. Finch of Fullerton, and J. H. Cook and C. E. Holcomb of Anaheim.
