We'll show it to you in single and double-breasted suits in many variations and in many fabrics. Hart Schaffner & Marx created these styles; that means they're correct: and that there's nothing smarter. All-wool fabrics, satisfaction guaranteed. "By All Means Get a Fit."

RAPID INCREASE IN PRODUCTION OF FIGS California May Supply the Market in Short Time. Before many years it is estimated by the department of agriculture that 15,000,000 to 16,000,000 pounds of figs imported from Smyrna may be grown in the United States, and principally in California. The area in the southwestern states and in California is equally as well adapted to the fig industry as is the Meander valley of Asia Minor, and is more extensive, enough to produce many times the quantity imported into this country. The annual production of Smyrna figs in California, which is almost the total yield of the country, is not far from 2,000 tons, but within a few years the production likely will be greatly increased, for it is estimated that since the importations were cut off as a result of the war, 10,000 acres of Smyrna fig trees have been planted in the Central San Joaquin valley. When these large bearings come into bearing this country will be independent of importation of this most wholesome, sugar-saving fruit, and it is believed, dried figs by the carload will be as evident in commercial movements as raisins are at the present time. The figs of the Smyrna type do not set fruit unless the flowers are pollenated; that is, unless the figs when settling are caprified, the male form of the species, which harbors the fig insect and bears the pollen necessary to fertilize the Smyrna type. About one-third of the production of figs in California is of the Smyrna type and the remainder chiefly Adriatic and Mission, but the first mentioned type are being planted almost exclusively now. One prominent California grower who has orchards of both Smyrna and Adriatic figs, finds that by a liberal supply of caprifigs he gets a ton to the acre more from the Smyrna than from the other variety, while the former sells for about double the price of the latter. The production of dry figs, the form in which the Smyrna fig is chiefly marketed, will always be limited to regions practically rainless at and perpetuate a 100 per centum Americanism; to inculcate the duty and obligation of the citizen to the community, state and nation; to preserve and develop equality of right and opportunity in the United States; to promote the social and industrial welfare of the citizens of the United States, to make right the master of might; to preserve the memories and incidents of the Great War, and to consecrate the comradship of its members to service to the nation. HIGH COST OF LIVING UPHELD BY DEPARTMENT Director of Sales Testifies He implored Officials to Sell Surplus Food. That the War Department, in face of an advancing cost of living, persistently refused to place upon the market a great surplus of food products, was testified to by C. W. Hare; director of sales, in that department. The known surplus was 75,000,000 pounds of bacon, 580,000,000 pounds of ham, $50,000,000 worth of canned meats and $100,000,000 worth of canned vegetables, all of it in storage suffering steady deterioration and consequent diminution in value. "I tried my level best for five months," said Hare, "to pry these supplies loose. I could accomplish nothing until about the first of May, when finally were declared a surplus. After the war had ended, when no sane man expected a standing army of more than 500,000 men, the government postponed for six months its decision that this actually was a surplus in the army rations. I was told that it was up to the Chief of Staff to decide on the size of the army and that it would then be necessary to estimate its requirements. "When Congress appropriated $100,000,000 to relieve the starving people of Europe, which sum was to be expended by Food Director Hoover, I made repeated efforts to induce him to take some part of the War Department surplus, but he was not interested.

Johnson of South Dakota. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is named as among the incorporators. The purposes of the corporation are declared to be to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy for which the members of the military and naval forces of the United States contended in 1917-1918; to maintain law and order; to foster "When Congress appropriated $100,000,000 to relieve the starving people of Europe, which sum was to be expended by Food Director Hoover, I made repeated efforts to induce him to take some part of the War Department surplus, but he was not interested. With an immense surplus of bacon for which forty cents a pound was paid on hand in the army, Mr. Hoover bought great quantities of bacon in Italy at thirty-three cents a pound, while such sales of our surplus as I had been able to make had been sold at 28 cents a pound. I took immediate steps to bring our surplus to Mr. Hoover's attention. I thought him the natural man to buy, but I could not interest him in our meat. I know of no reason why he refused, and I do know that he bought from the Italian government. Hoover's agent in this country said he wanted to secure a better quality of meat. Of course, I could communicate with Mr. Hoover only through the commission set up in the War Department. I never received any reply from Hoover whatever." Hare made it perfectly clear that his function was merely to formulate the sales policy, and that he had had jurisdiction over supplies only after the War Department had declared them a surplus. His testimony is considered doubly important as bearing upon the charge frequently made in Congress that a refusal to declare a surplus an dthe purchase in Europe had been made in the interests of the Beef Trust. "The proper study of mankind is man"—but a large percentage of mankind seems to think the proper study of mankind is woman.

The strike corresponds closely to the first oil found in the Chapman well, and this fact makes drilling on the well interesting. At 1,400 feet the Amalgamated is changing from the rotary to the cable tools on the Potter well. At this depth the 12 1/2 is being set. It is thought that most of the hard stuff has been drilled through here and that the change to the cable tools will allow closer watch on the formation changes. Conglomerate of the hardest sort is the formation that Petroleum Midway is trying to get through on the three wells drilling on the Yarnell property at Richfield. At Yarnell No. 1 fifty feet of hole was made, bringing the depth down to 1,665. No. 2 was especially hard and tough, ten feet being the amount of new hole made here on a week. At No. 3 the drilling was somewhat easier, as 40 feet were cut. Yarnell No. 4 is standing rigged up, ready, awaiting the outcome of the other wells drilling. The Santa Ana Canyon Oil Company spudded in on Crowther No. 1 yesterday, and met with hard luck on the very start. When the drill reached 200 feet a heaving sand was struck that stopped all further progress on "VACATION LAND" FOR EVERYONE Americans everywhere are invited to make use of the "ideal vacation land" that exists in the national forests. Most of the great woodlands are in the Western States, but some are in the East, so that no section of the country is too distant to share in their benefits. The Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture is endeavoring to bring about a full public realization of what the forests offer. "You will encounter no 'Keep Out' signs on the forests," says one of several booklets issued by the Forest Service. "They are not fenced against the public, but invite your presence and use. The only signs you will find are those which point you on your way or ask your co-operation in preserving the beauty and value of these free recreation grounds and their resources. Firearms are not barred, and hunting and fishing are restricted only by the requirements of the State game laws." "You are welcome to all the necessary firewood and to forage for your saddle and pack animals; and, so far as possible, the grazing of commercial stock is regulated in such a way as to save an accessible supply of forage for the camper's use. You may camp where you like and stay as long as you please. The Forest Service asks that you look only to the proper sanitation of the camp and that you be careful with fire." Information on the forests will be furnished to all who apply to the forest supervisors, the district foresters, or to the Forest Service at Washington, D.C. WHITEWASH ON YOUNG TREES Dr. Whitten says: "Whitewash your trees at planting." He and other investigators have demonstrated that the temperature of the sap in the trunk and small branches of the deciduous fruit tree is much higher than that of the air around it. This is especially true in the winter time. This is during daylight hours, of course; when the sun goes down the reverse is true, hence great injury to some trees because of this extreme variation. A whitewashed tree, on the other hand, instead of absorbing the heat from the sun, reflects and refuses to take it up. This hint may not be exactly timely, but the fruit grower who is today observing some of the results of sunburn on the southwest side of his trees may be more easily absorb the lesson and be prepared with the coming of the next winter season with whitewash. Strange as it may seem most of our sunburn comes from the winter's sun. The variation in sap temperature is far greater in the winter because of the correcting power of the sap continually being pumped through the tissues of the tree when the processes of growth are under way. "BLEEDING KANSAS" Kansas is still bleeding. Latest bulletins concerning its condition are of general interest. Apparently the Agricultural Department's forecast of a wheat crop of 197,000,000 bushels was not an exaggeration. A prospect of $400,000,000 pouring into a State of less than 2,000,000 people for wheat alone is one to move the stoutest heart. The great soul of the nation is stirred for bleeding Kansas. The sympathy of sellers of tractors The Santa Ana Canyon Oil Company spudded in on Crowther No. 1 yesterday, and met with hard luck on the very start. When the drill reached 200 feet a heaving sand was struck that stopped all further progress on the well. Mud will have to be put in and the side walls plastered up before the drilling can go ahead. Richfield presents both extremes of hard drilling—first it is too soft and next the formation gets so hard that it is almost impossible to make any hole. On the Bradford property the Santa Fe is having the hard conglomerate to drill through in all three of its wells now drilling. The Santa Fe is using the cable tools and is making as good time in the conglomerate as any of the companies using the rotary. Bradford No. 1 shows 735 feet of hole, No. 2 100 feet and No. 3 725 feet. The Standard's deep test well on the Anaheim Union lease at Yorba Linda is now 4,190 feet. The formation continues to be hard sand, with no oil showings of any consequence. The well is beginning to look rather doubtful and disqualifying to the Lock property adjoining. Compelled to leave three stands of drill pipe in the hole on account of a twist off a week ago, the Standard is drilling by the pipe at Kraemer 2-1 at a depth of 2,670 feet. Sixty feet more and new hole will be making again. Kraemer 2-2 shows 2,430 feet of hole the formation being a hard sand. At 3,100 feet the hard sand showed some oil and considerable gas, and at this depth the Standard landed the 8½ pipe. Just as soon as the new string is in the drilling will be resumed. On account of the proximity of this well to the Union's big Chapman gusher it is being watched with considerable interest. The Union Oil Company started the week in the Richfield district with three fishing jobs. At Chapman No. 2 a twist off of the drill pipe resulted in a fishing job at 1,100 feet. The pipe DANGEROUS COMPOUNDS Canning compounds sold under various trade names for use in home canning, are often harmful to health and should never be used by housewives, say the specialists of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture. These preparations, which are usually in powdered form and contain salicylic acid or boric acid, are unnecessary since fruits and vegetables can be kept for long periods in perfect conditions without any chemical preservatives whatever if proper methods of canning are followed. The Federal Food and Drugs Act prohibits the use of harmful preservatives in foods which come under its jurisdiction. The food laws of nearly every State in the Union forbid the sale within the State of foods which have been preserved with harmful substances. Although neither the Federal or State laws apply to foods canned in the home and consumed there, it would seem that the housewife would not knowingly use, in the foods she preserves for her family, substances that are prohibited by law in food for sale because the substances are injurious to health. The Department of Agriculture has issued bulletins that give specific directions for the canning and preserving of fruits and vegetables without the use of preserving powders or canning compounds. These bulletins may be obtained without cost upon application to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. STILL DISPUTING BOUNDARY At the boundary line of two separate business lots in the town of Fullerton on Spadra avenue is a strip of land, 1½ inches wide, which was once before the subject of litigation and is now again the cause of a suit being filed in the superior courn. The plaintiff in the present suit, filed today, is Albert E. Rothaermel, Kansas is still bleeding. Latest bulletins concerning its condition are of general interest. Apparently the Agricultural Department's forecast of a wheat crop of 197,000,000 bushels was not an exaggeration. A prospect of $400,000,000 pouring into a State of less than 2,000,000 people for wheat alone is one to move the stoutest heart. The great soul of the nation is stirred for bleeding Kansas. The sympathy of sellers of tractors and motor trucks and pleasure cars and airplanes will be especially excited. A great multitude of mobile persons will come from all parts of the country to aid in staunching the wounds of Kansas. For that which exudes from Kansas's wounds now is good, warm cash. VALENCIA CROP FAIR While citrus men are not ready to make reports based on careful investigations, it is the general opinion among them that the Orange county Valencia orchards have set a fair average crop of young oranges. The trees are not heavily set, and therefore the crop in prospect for next year is not a normal crop. "We have come to consider the 1917 crop as a normal crop," said one of the association men, "and that crop was a heavy crop. So far as we can make estimates from information now on hand, the prospects are that the crop will be somewhat lesh than normal, yet a very fair crop." Reports indicate that the setting of young Valencias is scattered. Some of the orchardists say that their trees are heavily set and others say that the June drop hit thom severely and that their trees are set lightly. As a matter of fact, mid-July estimates in the past have often proven erroneous, and for that reason several of the citrus men interviewed declared that they are not yet ready to be quoted, though they are optimistic for a near-normal crop for next year. A careful survey of orchards to strike an average as to what the locality productions in this county will be has not yet been made, and until such a survey is made citrus men are a bit chary about giving positive estimates. The general opinion expressed, however, is strongly to the effect that there is a fair setting of Valencias. Reports from San Bernardino county are to the effect that the Valencias The Union Oil Company started the week in the Richfield district with three fishing jobs. At Chapman No. 2 a twist off of the drill pipe resulted in a fishing job at 1,100 feet. The pipe is being washed over in the hope of freeing it so it can be cut off and pulled out. On the Thompson-Goodwin, No. 1 is fishing for drill pipe at 960 feet and Newell No. 1 is tied up with pipe toruble at 620 feet. Swedging is now in progress, and it may be possible to staighten out the difficulty and go ahead. Before actually starting the work of drilling deeper on its Travis No. 1, the Fullerton Oil Company made a second pumping test of the well in the hope that it would produce at 2,650 feet. The well mudded up and only made a few barrels of oil. Preparations are now going ahead to deepen the well. This well proved a great disappointment in that it showed up so strongly before the test, and proves once more that the oil man is not sure of a well until the well is pumping and the oil actually going into the tanks. At Yorba 3-1 the General Petroleum made 70 feet of hole last week and the present depth of 2,820 shows shale. At was made in the conglomerate. This Stearns No. 1 some 400 feet of hole is unusually good time for the hard formation drilled through. The fast time is made by changing the rotary bits every hour and using nothing but sharp fishtails all the time. STILL DISPUTING BOUNDARY At the boundary line of two separate business lots in the town of Fullerton on Spadra avenue is a strip of land, 1½ inches wide, which was once before the subject of litigation and is now again the cause of a suit being filed in the superior courr. The plaintiff in the present suit, filed today, is Albert E. Rothaermel, represented by Attorneys Marks and Launer, and the defendant is George H. Amerige. Both are well known and long-time residents of Fullerton. The plaintiff's mother, Amanda Rothaermel, now deceased, the complaint states, once brought suit against Amerige and upon her showing a decree against Amerige quieting title to the 1½-inch strip was granted her. Amerige, says the complaint, has laid a concrete foundation and brick wall on the narrow strip of property, causing damage to the Rothaermel holdings, and creating a nuisance. Rothaermel asks that Amerige be required to remove the concrete foundation and brick wall extending over the strip without entering upon the Rothaermel property. RIVERSIDE'S ASSESSMENT According to a report submitted to the county supervisors by County Assessor C. D. Bayley, the assessed valuation of Riverside County is $32,726,760. An interesting feature of the report is the number of war veterans exempted and the value of exemption granted them. This year 486 veterans were included and the total sum of their exemptions excluded from the total assessment value, is placed at $310,620. A careful survey of orchards to strike an average as to what the locality productions in this county will be has not yet been made, and until such a survey is made citrus men are a bit chary about giving positive estimates. The general opinion expressed, however, is strongly to the effect that there is a fair setting of Valencias. Reports from San Bernardino county are to the effect that the Valencias there, which are only a small portion of the San Bernardino county crop where navels predominate; are to be probably only fifty per cent of a normal crop. The reason for the light setting is that the Valencias there have suffered not only from a June drop but also from a July drop. Here in Orange county there has been no recent drop, such as some other orange growing sections have gone through. In this section orange and lemon trees are in good shape. Lemon trees are sending out an abundance of new growth, and the trees are carrying a healthy portion of young fruit. George W. Beer and wife, of La Habra won their suit for damages against the White Bus Line, the case being tried in Los Angeles, they being awarded damages in the sum of $500. On May 7, 1918, it was alleged that White Bus collided with the Beer machine while on the highway just across the line in Los Angeles county, at which time Mrs. Beer was alleged to have been injured. The suit was for personal injuries to Mrs. Beer. The judge before whom the suit was tried remarked that "from the title of the suit the case should have been tried before the first of July." Citrus Fruit Growers and Fumigators In re CORONA RED SCALE situation: Conditions in the Corona districts were perplexing and creating much anxiety to growers and experiment station men. I was informed that with dosages up to 200 per cent and with four treatments in twelve months, no adequate relief was obtained. About the middle of April, 1913, PROFESSOR QUAYLE appealed to us for an APPLICATOR, on which, as he stated, HE COULD PLACE RELIANCE; and liquid hydrocyanic acid to establish a new schedule. He was given the services of Mr. J. D. Neuls, the use of a HYDRO-CY APPLICATOR together with a supply of HYDRO-CY and HYDRO-CY SPECIAL; (all applied without charge, hence at our expense); with these, closely supervised fumigation demonstrations were made on trees in the grove of Chase Plantations, Corona. In due time and after careful inspections and determinations, it was known to Professor Quayle what results in scale killing were obtained, as is CY SPECIAL; (all applied without charge, hence at our expense); with these, closely supervised fumigation demonstrations were made on trees in the grove of Chase Plantations, Corona. In due time and after careful inspections and determinations, it was known to Professor Quayle what results in scale killing were obtained, as is evidenced by the following statement of facts taken from a letter written at the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, June 10, 1919, signed by Hugh Knight, Assistant Entomologist. "With reference to the determinations on the kill of red scale with your combination at Corona, permit me to advise you as follows: Method Schedule Total Number Alive Killed Pot 125% 1500 30 98% Liquid 75% 1080 10 99.07% Liquid 100% 700 2 99.92" "The other determinations are too lengthy to give you in detail as I examined in the neighborhood of 50,000 insects, but it may interest you to know that the results with the liquid were surprisingly gratifying, being uniform throughout." (The "Your Combination" above referred to was HYDRO-CY SPECIAL.) HYDRO-CY AND HYDRO-CY SPECIAL have been under critical research for nearly three years; and, at great expense, facts have been developed sufficient to give the confident assurance that we might offer them to the citrus fruit grower as agents for effective scale control. We are doing so now with the firm conviction that we are offering that which will accomplish everything that we claim for it, viz: The Very Best Means For Scale Control. HYDRO-CY AND HYDRO-CY SPECIAL should be used ONLY with the HYDRO-CY APPLICATOR under HYDRO-CY METHODS. (THE UNIT DOSE The Very Best Means For Scale Control. HYDRO-CY AND HYDRO-CY SPECIAL should be used ONLY with the HYDRO-CY APPLICATOR under HYDRO-CY METHODS. (THE UNIT DOSE IS 18 C. C.) WHEN SO USED ORCHARD BENEFITS WORTH WHILE WILL OBTAIN. QUALITY, not price, is the determining factor. QUALITY OF MATERIAL, QUALITY IN APPARATUS, AND QUALITY SERVICE. These we are prepared to give, and with these, we sanguinely predict that the net results to the grower will be most satisfactory, and, probably, at a substantial financial saving as compared with any and every other material or method now known. The new processing plant is now in operation, orders will be promptly filled. F. W. BRAUN The Pacific R. & H. Chemical Corporation
