Prep styles for very young men There comes a day when your boy grows up; he's a young man in height before he is in years; first long trousers time. He isn't likely, however, to be as fully developed as the average young man; his figure is a little youthful; a little immature; young men's models wont quite do. Hart Schaffner & Marx make clothes for these boys; they combine youth and manliness with lively style; all-wool fabrics and the best of tailoring. The suits are here in wide selections; just what boys want; we'll be glad to show you. "By All Means Get a Fit."

What is regarded as one of the most stringent probation orders ever promulgated in Orange county, was issued by Superior Judge West in Department 1, following a hearing of J. B. Hanson and W. D. Elton, who had recently pleaded guilty to a charge of robbing Frank Leaby of Long Beach, near San Juan Capistrano. By the terms of the probation order the imposing of sentence is suspended for fifteen years, during which time Hanson and Elton are not to go outside of the eight southern counties. In addition to the usual stipulations having to do with abstaining from the road over night. Testimony given at the hearing showed that Hanson struck Leaby over the head both with a beer bottle and a club, rendering him unconscious. Following this, the two men riffled Leaby's pockets. ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY Arrested on information supplied by Sheriff C. E. Jackson, Mrs. Florence Amelia Musser, charged with bigamy, and John Carter, charged with knowingly marrying a person already married, are being held by the San Francisco police pending the arrival of an officer from Santa Ana. The complaints against Mrs. Musser and Carter were sworn to on July 30 by Gladys Swain, of $11 Second avenue, Venice. It is alleged that on July 24, when City Recorder Heathman Success at Yorba Lake closeness of the Union gusher continues to drain panies and more capitals.

By the terms of the probation order the imposing of sentence is suspended for fifteen years, during which time Hanson and Elton are not to go outside of the eight southern counties. In addition to the usual stipulations having to do with abstaining from the use of intoxicants, intoxicating drugs and harmful narcotics, the order in each case goes on to state: "The defendant shall not enter any pool room or billiard room or play at any game of pool or billiards." "The defendant shall attend some religious service at least twice each month during the term of his probation and shall furnish to the probation officer with his report a certificate of the pastor or head of some department of the church showing such attendance. "The defendant shall pay to the probation officer for Frank Leaby one-half of the sum of $45 taken rom the said Frank Leaby." Under the terms of the order both Hanson and Elton must report to the probation officer the first Monday of October of the present year and every two months thereafter for the first two years and every three months of the remainder of the term of probation. It was brought out at the preliminary hearing of the two men recently that they had been given a ride by Leaby in his automobile from a point a short distance south of Tustin and that when the party had arrived at Serra below San Juan Capistrano, the machine had run into a ditch, thus forcing the three to camp by the side Sheriff C. E. Jackson, Mrs. Florence Amelia Musser, charged with bigamy, and John Carter, charged with knowingly marrying a person already married, are being held by the San Francisco police pending the arrival of an officer from Santa Ana. The complaints against Mrs. Musser and Carter were sworn to on July 30 by Gladys Swain, of 811 Second avenue, Venice. It is alleged that on July 24, when City Recorder Heathman performed a marriage ceremony for Mrs. Musser and Carter, the former was already married and that Carter was aware of this. It was stated at the district attorney's office that the husband of Mrs. Musser is employed at one of the shipyards at San Pedro, and that about two weeks prior to the issuing of the marriage license Mrs. Musser had left her home. Nothing was heard of her again, it is stated, until her name appeared in the published announcement of the license. Gladys Swain, the complainant, is a sister of the husband of Mrs. Musser, and the latter is a foster sister of both Gladys Spain and Musser. Carter first met Mrs. Musser at Arlight, California, where Mrs. Musser's parents live. At that time Carter, who for some time lived at San Francisco, was employed at Arlight. When Gladys Swain learned that a marriage license had been issued here she came to the district attorney's office and swore to the complaints. Deputy District Attorney Menton, who is handling the case for the state, secured a delay in the recording of the license, pending a search for Mrs. Musser and Carter.

IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) Southern California is pressing the Midway-Sunset field, the largest producer of the northern field, uncomfortably close for first honors in production. Figures compiled show the Midway-Sunset to have produced 2,664,000 barrels during the previous month. The Southern California output for the same period was 2,429,000 barrels, a difference of 234,000 barrels. A couple more wells like the Union Oil Company's Chapman in the Richfield district will make up this small difference and put the southern field in the lead for the first time since the oil industry became a part of the commercial interests of the southland. The daily output of the Southern California field has gone over the 81,000 mark. A year ago the field was making 71,000 barrels, a gain of 10,000. A recent geological survey credits the Midway Sunset field with over 40,000 acres of proven oil lands, and gives to Southern California approximately 8,000 acres of proven oil territory. The average production per acre in Southern California is very high and accounts for the high taxation values county and state officials have put on the properties. Success at Yorba Linda and the closeness of the Union's Chapman gusher continues to draw new companies and more capital to this field. The latest entrant is the Richfield-Yorba Oil Company, a Los Angeles concern that has taken a lease on 23 acres and will commence development in present depth of 3150 feet is looking pretty good. The greatest producer now in the California fields is the Union Oil Company's No. 1 on the Chapman property at Placentia. This marvelous well is going beyond all expectations and predictions. At the beginning of the week the production rose from 4600 to 4793 barrels and it is thought that this gradual increase will not cease until the 5000 mark is reached. The increased output of oil is holding its gravity and no sand or water is coming with this tremendous flow of black wealth. Three weeks ago this well was making 2700 barrels and to increase to almost 4800 without any outside assistance or special work done on the well is one of the marvels that the great well presents. This phenomenal producer has accomplished wonderful things for the Union Oil Company in giving the company a third more production, a substantial quantity of refinable oil, opened up a new field and put the stock of its owners high up in the oil stocks on the exchange. Negotiations have been completed and arrangements made for the leasing of the Frank Morse property by the Union. The Morse property adjoins the Chapman gusher property on the west side and is regarded as one of the few very choice oil properties. Drilling will commence here as soon as the rig is erected and the rigging up completed. After fishing for drill pipe for almost a month the Union has met with little success on its Thompson-Goodwin well, and it may become necessary to move the rig and start a new hole. A twist off at 960 feet left 300 feet of rotary lly have a considerable amount of livestock that must be disposed of this summer and fall. Unitah county, Utah, especially has inquired about a market for horses, feeder cattle, sheep and hogs. I take it that no one will be particularly interested in horses, but it may be that some ranchers in California would be interested in securing cattle, sheep or hogs. If you have inquiry from any one looking for these classes of live-stock it is possible that they might be secured in Utah at a price making it possible to transport them to California. POLITICAL PARTIES MUST PROVE SELVES Women Will Discriminate In Choice and Are Studying Citizenship. Women are not preparing to form a separate party, according to Miss Marie Ames, at a recent meeting in Kansas City called to celebrate the passing of the federal suffrage amendment. Nor are they going to pit themselves against the men. The interests of the sexes are too closely related. "The women will be urged to affiliate with the two political parties," said Miss Ames, "but the parties will be left to enlist the interest of the women as best they can. We do not expect that woman suffrage will bring the millennium, but we do expect that women will vote right, regardless of party. The women of this country will stand firmly for two things—the thorough Americanization of all foreign elements in the country and an intelligent use of the ballot. Miss Ames is conducting citizenship schools in Missouri and other parts of the country, in which women are instructed in the right use of the ballot. But in her opinion, men need these Success at Yorba Linda and the closeness of the Union's Chapman gusher continues to draw new companies and more capital to this field. The latest entrant is the Richfield-Yorba Oil Company, a Los Angeles concern that has taken a lease on 23 acres and will commence development work at once. The new company is headed by R. H. and R. J. Scott. A portion of the company's holdings consists of the R. J. Scott property at Yorba and a lease of the Rosa Yorba Lock property. The holdings adjoin property held by the General Petroleum and is a mile east of the Chapman gusher. The new company is capitalized for a million dollars of which $200,000 is to be placed on the market for development work. While the company is now in the financing stage the management hope to start drilling in a short time. Local operators consider the location of the new concern's property good and await its development with considerable interest. One of the newcomers of the past week into the Richfield district is the Federal Drilling Company of San Francisco. The Federal Drilling Company has leased 17 acres from the Riverview Oil Company adjoining its Bennett property. The new company has lumber on the ground for a rig and will start drilling at once. It is understood that the Federal Drilling Company has contracted with the Santa Fe Oil Company to complete the three wells started some time ago on the Bradford property. These wells were started with cable tools but did not make very fast time. The Federal Drilling Company are going to put on the rotary and carry the wells to completion as rapidly as possible. The Santa Fe has never drilled with the rotary in the south and it is thought that this is the reason for the turning the drilling work over to a contracting company having the equipment and experience for rotary drilling. The Riverview Oil Company is rushing work on its new property, the Bennett ranch. The rig for Bennett No. 1 is up and the rigging up work is near joins the Chapman gusher property on the west side and is regarded as one of the few very choice oil properties. Drilling will commence here as soon as the rig is erected and the rigging up completed. After fishing for drill pipe for almost a month the Union has met with little success on its Thompson-Goodwin well, and it may become necessary to move the rig and start a new hole. A twist off at 960 feet left 300 feet of rotary pipe in the hole. About 120 feet of this has been recovered, the remainder, however, is proving a sticker. Late advices from the well state that while washing over a rotary shoe was left in the hole at 775 feet which will further complicate matters. AUTO ASSOCIATION BOOSTS A. R. C. FIRST AID PROJECT The California Automobile Association is boosting a project by which Red Cross First Aid is to be made available to motorists in California in case of accident, particularly in isolated places, where it is oftentimes impossible to secure a physician or articles necessary for the proper treatment of those who may be injured. The plan was worked out by Dr. George H. Richardson, Red Cross Director of the Pacific Division Bureau of First Aid, and D. E. Watkins, secretary-manager of the California Automobile Association. It calls for the placing of first aid kits at frequent intervals along the highway, which will be indicated by signs furnished by the Automobile Association. The kits are to be supplied by Red Cross Chapters, which will also be called upon to keep them filled after use. All chapters and branches will receive a bulletin from the Division Bureau of First Aid containing a questionnaire regarding the situation in their different localities. This First Aid work is distinctively a Red Cross work and no chapter should neglect the opportunity to do its full duty at this time. In addition to placing the emergency boxes at isolated points, chapters are authorized to sell complete boxes to motorists. In line with the Red Cross peace program of conservation of human life, the Pacific division and the Automobile Association believe that if the furnishing of these boxes and signs should be the means of saving a single life all the work and expense connect- The "alerte" and "all clear" system of warning of air raids which was used in Paris during the war has been adopted by the coffee planters of Southern Brazil in unique measures which have been ordered to combat frost. A smoke barrage is to be adopted instead of the shrapnel which was so effectively used to "get" enemy air raiders, and the agricultural officials of this country believe that compliance with the new regulations will provide against a repetition of the damage of last year's frost, which cost so many millions of dollars to planters and also to consumers. During the winter of 1918 an extraordinary cold wave, beyond the memory of the "oldest inhabitants," swept over Southern Brazil, and it was during this spell that the first snow in more than eighty years fell in Buenos Aires. The frost found the planters absolutely defenceless, and when normal weather returned, it was found that million of coffee trees were killed and a large percentage of the others injured so badly that the crops for the next three years will be cut down by about one-half. Instead of a production of 15,000,000 bags a year, seven or eight millions is all that can be hoped for annually until 1921. This frost had the effect of tripling the local price of coffee. The new plan which has been evolved for getting the best of "Jack Frost" is being put into effect by the municipality of Itajahy, a city in the State of Santa Catharina, in the heart of the Southern Brazil coffee country. Plant- The Riverview Oil Company is rushing work on its new property, the Bennett ranch. The rig for Bennett No. 1 is up and the rigging up work is near enough completed to allow drilling to start before the end of the week. At Heffron No. 1 the cement is still setting, but the well will be opened up before the end of the week, the cement drilled out and a water test made. The Standard Oil Company's deep test well on the Anaheim Union lease is now 4260 feet deep. For more than 200 feet the formation has been blue shale. This formation still continues and the well begins to look like a "duster." The drilling, however, is to continue and an exhaustive deep test made. On the Kraemer property east of the Anaheim Union deep-well the Standard is making preparations to start three new wells. Kreaemer 1-4 is rigging up for the rotary, Kraemer 15 is building a rig, and at Kraemer 1-5 the lumber is being put on the ground for the rig. The Standard has Kraemer 2-1 and 2-2 standing cemented at approximately 2850 feet. Both wells are close to the gusher of the field, the Union's Chapman and their completion is awaited with great interest. The Standard's Collins No. 1 is drilling again after being cemented and tested out at 3100 feet. This well at its work and no chapter should neglect the opportunity to do its full duty at this time. In addition to placing the emergency boxes at isolated points, chapters are authorized to sell complete boxes to motorists. In line with the Red Cross peace program of conservation of human life, the Pacific division and the Automobile Association believe that if the furnishing of these boxes and signs should be the means of saving a single life, all the work and expense connected with their installation would be worth while. In the charter of the American Red Cross given it by Congress on Jon. 5, 1915, is the provision that it was organized: "To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war ... and to continue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same in mitigating the sufferings caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry on measures for preventing the same." DROUTH CONDITIONS FORCE STOCK SALES The farm advisor's office has received notice from the state leader's office that large numbers of cattle, horses and hogs are being forced to sell in the mountain states because of the shortage of feed. California farmers more fortunately situated may find this an opportunity to buy to advantage. The letter from Berkeley reads as follows: "We have lately received a number of letters from various states in the west stating that certain sections are suffering from drouth and consequent- for the next three years will be cut down by about one-half. Instead of a production of 15,000,000 bags a year, seven or eight millions is all that can be hoped for annually until 1921. This frost had the effect of tripling the local price of coffee. The new plan which has been evolved for getting the best of "Jack Frost" is being put into effect by the municipality of Itajahy, a city in the State of Santa Catharina, in heart of the Southern Brazil coffee country. Planters in other localities will watch the effect of this campaign with the greatest interest and many are considering its adoption. Its success will probably mean the enforcement of such regulation in other districts where coffee crops would be subject to frost. The regulations are compulsory, being issued by the agricultural authorities. Violation by planters under the jurisdiction of the district lays them subject to heavy fines. The project calls for preparation of fuel for bonfires north, east and west of the coffee groves at distances of thirty to forty metres apart. This preparation must be made early in the cool season and continued for several months. Each planter must collect sufficient wood and brush to keep fires burning three nights in succession, and in case the fuel reserve becomes in any way depleted, must maintain the adequate supply. When the forecasters see a frost, a signal to the planters to light their fires immediately will be given by means of the firing of bombs. The idea is to create as much smoke as possible, and hay and green leaves are to be thrown on the fires. When the danger of frost is passed, the planters will again be notified by bombs to extinguish their fires.

Costs of the commodities to the government, the department said had been disregarded entirely in fixing the prices of sale which are materially lower than prevailing market rates. The prices quoted are f. o. b. and from storage points in each of the thirteen districts into which the country is divided for War Department subsistence purposes. The department now is redistributing the food supplies in the thirteen areas in order that each may have its proportion for population of the seventy-two articles offered for sale. The price tables include the price per can or individual unit in each case and also the price per case or large container. It also shows the gross weight per can and per case in order that the public may arrive at the price they would have to pay by adding-parcel post rates from the nearest distributing point to the home of the consumer to f. o. b. prices quoted. Municipal selling agencies will compute freight charges on these shipments to be added to the price quoted by the War Department. On the parcels post distribution, no orders will be received direct by the War Department, but only through the Postoffice Department, which will requisition the supplies by case or larger package, the postmasters in turn breaking these shipments up into unit packages of a single can or several cans.
