STANDARD GRADES FOR CALIFORNIA BEANS State Association Takes Measure to Improve Condition. Announcement has been made by the California Bean Dealers' Association that in order to improve conditions and meet many just complaints on the part of buyers, standard grades have been established. This association handles little of the California lima bean crop, which is handled largely through a strong growers' association. The bean dealers here say that it is to the mutual benefit of the industry if satisfactory grades can be established and adopted by all of the trade. Man y have their own idea as to what constitutes choice recleaned beans and No. 1 recleaned. The set grades have been adopted for the particular purpose of meeting the varying climatic conditions that occur from year to year and which unavoidably affect the character and quality of the crop. Each season's crop will be handled in accordance with the new standards. If the best grade, to be known as "choice recleaned," cannot be fully and fairly met owning to adverse growing conditions, such fact will be announced to the public so that the buying trade may be fully informed as to conditions. The attention of the trade is particularly called to the modification made in connection with arbitration and the liberal and full option extended to buyers.. It is believed that this will obviate much of the friction that has existed in the past. Following are the grades under MAKING PROVISION FOR THE OLD EMPLOYEES Southern California Edison Company Adopts a Pension System. Southern California Edison Company employees and the employees of its subsidiary companies will be pensioned upon reaching the age limit after a prescribed period of continuous service... Those who have qualified by service may be granted a disbilliay benefit, should physical misfortune fall before they reach the retiring age. A contract prepared under the direction of President W. A. Brackenridge and approved by the Board of Directors of the company in July was authorized by the States Railroad Commission at San Francisco on August 27th. This establishes the principle of pension as a legal right to those who are qualified by service and age, and not as a charity. In its decision, the Railroad Commission says: "We consider it a wise move on the part of the utilities of the State to provide for employees in old age when their earning power is lessened, therefore we approve your plan as a proper expenditure." The Edison pension plan is worked out on very broad and generous lines, after a careful study of those in operation by the large corporations of the country, one of the important features being that the granting of this benefit is not left to discretion, but is given the force and effect of a contract and is collectible at law by those who have earned it. Male employees reach the retiring age at sixty years and female employees at fifty-five years, on the comple- nounced to the public so that the buying trade may be fully informed as to conditions. The attention of the trade is particularly called to the modification made in connection with arbitration and the liberal and full option extended to buyers.. It is believed that this will obviate much of the friction that has existed in the past. Following are the grades under which California beans will hereafter be bought and sold: Choice Recleaned—To contain not less than 98 per cent sound merchantable beans and not over 2 per cent damaged, discolored or other beans, splits, adobe, or other foreign matter, and in no case more than 1 per cent damaged beans and in no way altered from year to year and all sales and shipments made thereunder must not very therefrom in excess of 1 per cent. No. 1 Recleaned—To be equal to or better than the average of the grade for the current season at time of shipment. Such standards to be jointly established annually by the California Bean Dealers' Association and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. (This standard shall be elastic, as above indicated, but the official type sample will be jointy made as in the case of the "choice recleaned" grade and published by the California Bean Dealers' Association each season and not by any corporation, firm or individual.) All beans not conforming with the above standards will be bought and sold on sample or description. JAYHAWKERS ARE CALLED TO RALLY All who ever lived in the Sunflower State are called to meet under the auspices of the Kansas Association of Southern California for the great Fall picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, Sept. 13th, 1919, in Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles. Come as early as you can and spend the day with friends. We will have county registers and headquarters so you can ind the old neighbors even with ten thousand present. There will be a brief program about after a careful study of those in operation by the large corporations of the country, one of the important features being that the granting of this benefit is not left to discretion, but is given the force and effect of a contract and is collectible at law by those who have earned it. Male employees reach the retiring age at sixty years and female employees at fifty-five years, on completion of twenty years continuous service. Men who are sixty-one years of age and women who are fifty-six can be retired after nineteen years of service, the period of service decreasing to fifteen years of service, as age of male employees advance to sixty-five years and that of females to sixty years. The monthly pension allowance is based upon the average monthly compensation during the five years at which it was the greatest, two percent of the monthly wage being multiplied by the years in service, applicable to all salaries of $200.00 per month or less. The percentage allowed to those receiving higher salaries decreases in blocks, as the compensation increases over $200.00 per month. A disability benefit is provided for employees who have been in the service twenty years and are disabled in any manner which disqualifies for service, upon the approval of the President of the company, the Board of Directors or the Finance Committee. Some latitude is given the management to grant disability benefits to those who have not served the full twenty years, whose claims are meritorious. In addition to the employees of the Southern California Edison Company, the parent organization, employees of the following subsidiary companies are included in the pension plan, employment with any of which counts as continuity of employment: The Mount Whitney Power and Electric Company; The Santa Barbara Gas and Electric Company, the San Joaquin and Eastern Railroad Company, the Huntington Lake Hotel Company and the Santa Barbara and Suburban Railway Company.

If they are doing that, they have simply been imitating administration methods. ANAHEIM GAZETTE BUDS FROM PROVEN TREES Last year approximately 260,000 buds from superior citrus trees were supplied to growers and nurserymen by the Fruit Growers' Supply company, which is owned by exchange members. The trees from which the set buds were taken were proved to be a superior fruit producing strain by individual tree records on yield and quality over a period of years. The Supply company now obtains budwood from twelve tested orchards, some of several hundred acres, where individual tree records have been carefully kept for several years in addition to these orchards, tree records have been started and are being kept on several other groves as a future source which will be needed to supply the constantly increasing demands for the pedigreed buds from growers and nurserymen. SPELLING ODDITIES An American in London was introduced to an Englishman, who said: "Why, no introduction is necessary; you and I have had a lot of correspondence." "I beg pardon," said the Yankee. "What was the name?" "Chumley." "Chumley?" "Yes, J. Evelyn Chumley—C-H-O-L-M-O-N-D-E-L-E-Y." "Oh, to be sure! But will you kindly tell me why you folks over here don't pronounce your names as they are spelled?" Today, though the iron cross still glares from the conning tower, the Stars and Stripes fly from the stub mast and Lieut. Com. J. L. Nielson, former executive officer at the sub base in war days, commands the vessel, with Lieut. G. B. Evans of San Francisco executive officer, and Lieut. E. E. Barden of South Pasadena and Gunner G.

At that time she was hiding in Kiel. The interior of the boat is amaze of machinery. Forward are four torpedo tubes, aft there are two. There is no bare wall space, no spot where one can lay a hand without touching part of the mechanism which propels or attacks. OH! MY BACK! The Expression of Many a Kidney Sufferer. A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. When the kidneys are inflamed and swollen, stooping brings a sharp twinge in the small of the back that almost takes the breath away. Doan's Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—relieve aching backs. Here's convincing proof of merit. Walter W. Rogers, sign painter, 536 N. Orange St., Orange, Calif., says: "Backache came on me suddenly some time ago. When I first got up in the morning, there was a soreness and lameness in the small of my back and it ached all day. When I sat down, I could hardly get up again. The kidnows treble the price the producer sets." NOTICE OF ABANDONMENT OF HIGHWAY Notice is hereby given to all freeholders in the Third Road District that the hearing of the petition of J. W. Howard, et al., filed on the 19th day of August, 1919, to vacate, discontinue, abandon and abolish a certain highway (or certain highways, as the case may be) in the Third Road District, in Orange County, California, has been set for Tuesday, the 16th day of September, 1919, at 10 o'clock a.m., at the room of the Board of Supervisors in the Court House at Santa Ana, Californias. Said road (or roads, as the case may be) is described as follows: All that portion of West Broadway lying between the westerly city limits of the City of Anaheim and the easterly line of a 60-foot county road on the east line of section 17, Township 4 South Range 10 West, S. B.

The complete total cut is 31,890,454,000 feet, based on the assumed operations of 22,546 mills. The computed cut in 1918 is 11 per cent smaller than the computed production in 1917. A comparison of the computed cut of several of the large general producing regions in 1918 with the figures for the preceding year shows a smaller output by approximately 20 per cent in the yellow-pine group of States, a decrease of 19 per cent in the North Carolina pine group, and of 9 per cent in the Lake States. An increased cut of 2 per cent is noted for Oregon and Washington. GERMAN SUBMARINE IN SAN PEDRO HARBOR Bear Many Scars from Battles While on Tour of Destruction. The "Untersea Boat" No. 88—otherwise U-88, on which Lient. Harold E. Barden of South Pasadena is one of the officers, glided into the harbor at San Pedro on Monday. The U-88 is a part of the spoils of war and is now manned by an American crew of four officers and twenty-seven men. Lieut. Barden is the navigating officer and he has directed the vessel on a journey of over 7,500 miles. The arrival of the German submarine breath away. Doan's Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—relieve aching backs. Here's convincing proof of merit. Walter W. Rogers, sign painter, 536 N. Orange St., Orange, Calif., says: "Backache came on me suddenly some time ago. When I first got up in the morning, there was a soreness and lameness in the small of my back and it ached all day. When I sat down, I could hardly get up again. The kidney secretions passed too frequently with a burning sensation. I had dizzy spells when everything seemed in a blur. Being advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills I procured some and they cured the pains in my back and the other symptoms of kidney complaint left me." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Rogers had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. MADE TEN THOUSAND BY LOSING HIS TEMPER Santa Ana Real Estate Man Convinced Customer His Words Were True. It doesn't pay, as a rule, for one to lose his temper, but there are exceptions to all rules, and D. G. Cole today has a bank account swelled by $10,000 because he got his "dandruff up." Cole is a real estate man, being a member of the firm of Hankey and Cole, says the Register. The Wm. F. Lutz twenty-acre walnut grove on McFadden street, which Lutz recently acquired from Otis Birch, was listed with him for sale. Cole found a prospective buyer. With all the persuasive power he could command he attempted to sell him the fine grove. Cole thought it to be a bargain and tried to impress his client with the fact. Cole talked until he was "black in the face" trying to convince the man that he could make a piece of easy money if he would make the purchase. The client couldn't see it. Finally, in his exasperation at the man's refusal to appreciate the bargain, Cole told him that if he didn't take the property he would do so himself. The price was $35,000. Cole kept his word. Independent of German sources of supply, it has been found, these chemists assert, that kelp oils, creosote pitch, ammonia, bleaching carbons, salt and potash may all be obtained in commercial quantities from the great forests of kelp swaying in hidden majesty under the gentle influence of ocean currents a few feet under the surface of the sea off Southern California's coast. Describing in the forthcoming number of the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, one of the publications of the society, the results obtained from the establishment at Summerland near Santa Barbara, of a government experimental plant, Messrs. Turrentine and Shoaff conclude that a half million tons of kelp may be cut from the beds annually without any damage to them. Four hundred thousand tons were cut during nine months of 1918, they report, from Southern California beds. Conservation measures appear- The "Untersea Boat" No. 88—Oberwise U-88, on which Lient. Harold E. Barden of South Pasadena is one of the officers, glided into the harbor at San Pedro on Monday. The U-88 is a part of the spoils of war and is now manned by an American crew of four officers and twenty-seven men. Lieut. Barden is the navigating officer and he has directed the vessel on a journey of over 7,500 miles. The arrival of the German submarine marked all but the completion of her career as a vessel, for next week in San Francisco American naval engineers will dissect the monster for the purpose of obtaining construction secrets. This process will destroy the last German sea wolf to elude the North Sea blockade nets, prior to the close of the great war. The German boat bears the scars of war. Seven depressions on her body show where depth bombs almost drove her crew to death on the ocean's floor. A dozen smaller dents are the marks of rapid fire guns and there is the visible trail a six-inch shell left as it scraped the conning tower. For ward, the net knife shows nicks made when the diver escaped the Allied traps and the prow is bent and torn slightly as a result of the disgraceful ramming of a life boat. The Kaiser must have appreciated this aquatic assassin. Twice the vessel and each man of its crew were given the iron cross and "Gott mit uns" is engraved on each torpedo tube head. The late captain, Hans Ehrenfurst, received a half dozen "decorations," his records show. The client couldn't see it. Finally, in his exasperation at the man's refusal to appreciate the bargain, Cole told him that if he didn't take the property he would do so himself. The price was $35,000. Cole kept his word. That was two months ago. Today papers are passing transferring the twenty acres to George Kilson of Saticoy, Ventura county, at $45,000, or an advance of $10,000 over what Cole paid for it two months ago. Kilson and his son will move to the ranch in a short time and will build one or two residences. Kilson owns a walnut grove and other property at Saticoy, which he is disposing of and is coming here to make his home, as is also his son and family. GREAT POSSIBILITIES OF THE KELP INDUSTRY Many Vaulable Products Can be Extracted from Sea Weed. Southern California's newest important crop, which can be harvested at the rate of 500,000 tons per annum without further elaboration in harvesting methods, according to J. W. Turrentine and Paul S. Shoaff, members of the American Chemical Society, is kelp, from which an important variety of products may be obtained.

The experimental plant was erected at Summerland in 1917. Complete data as to operating cost is being tabulated, to be reported later. It is the opinion of Messrs. Turrentine and Shoaff that so much revenue may be realized from the by-products that the main product, potash salts, may be marketed in successful competition with potash from any foreign source. A new American chemical industry of considerable magnitude and of great importance and usefulness to the nation will grow out of the experiments, they assert, and Southern California will take on added importance industrially.
