NAPIER GRASS FOR CANYON Nearly every farm, valley, foothill or canyon offers problems such as gullies, which usually represent not only wastes, but real menace, being breeding places for insect pests and other vermin, and starting places from which the erosion of irrigation water and winter rains spreads and yearly cuts down the producing acreage. If a little care is exercised, if the brush is grubbed out, the ground contour plowed and planted to Napier grass, these wastes may not only save the land through checking erosion, but become income bearing through furnishing fodder of value and large production per acre on ground where any other forage crop would be an impossibility. This plant, being a perennial, is permanent and after the first year can be fenced in and used as pasturage for any stock, cattle, sheep or hogs, although the latter must be rung and not permitted to root. Napier grass is very drouth resistant, irrigation run-off being sufficient, is one of the earliest to appear in the spring often taking three nails.

This plant, being a perennial, is permanent and after the first year can be fenced in and used as pasturage for any stock, cattle, sheep or hogs, although the latter must be rung and not permitted to root. Napier grass is very drought resistant, irrigation run-off being sufficient, is one of the earliest to appear in the spring, often taking advantage of the warm weather our winters so frequently afford to make it of moment as a winter pasture, will freeze down, but not root kill. A very small patch will provide pasturage for a cow in the growing months and permit the keeping on the farm of a small band of sheep; it is a good hog pasture, makes a good silage crop, soil or hay crop. In the canyon floor, it would be of great value in making permanent pasture as well as checking erosion and conserving the winter run-off and might be of service in building check dams, as its roots make a thick, strong maf. In Africa, this plant has, like the eucalyptus in Tasmania originating in the swampy marsh lands, crept up the hills and become inured to drought until today it covers the plains and furnishes food for the great roving herds of herbaceous feeding animals so dear to the hunter and for which Africa is world famed. In the wet lands, it reaches a height of thirty feet, while on the semi-arid plains it resembles to some extent millet or rpe grass. It must have taken thousands of years to reach these plains and under- "It is the duty cans to denounce anarchistic doctrine themselves in such that guarantee proper safety of the persons.

Company, turned turtle on a dirt crossroad near La Habra at 8 o'clock Monday night, injuring five passengers, all of whom were taken to Fullerton Hospital in ambulances. The injured are: Leslie Longley, heart shock, many bruises, not serious; Mrs. Longley (his wife) chest crushed, will probably die; Miss L. Moody, two ribs and right hand broken, chest crushed, condition critical; Mrs. Mary Nash, San Diego, shoulder bruised, two ribs on the right side broken, condition serious; George Sahabeck, San Diego, shoulder bruised and other slight injuries. The Longleys and Miss Moody are tourists from St. Louis and were traveling together. They were in the rear seat. Hospital physicians say the condition of the women is very critical. There were seven passengers, two of whom, together with the driver, jumped; the others were pinned under the stage for some time before they could be removed. Mrs. Longley held nearly the entire weight of the car on her chest, and was thought to be dead when taken from the wreck. Officials of the stage line visited the hospital and left instructions to spare no expense for the care of the passengers. The accident happened at a corner, when a large truck owned and driven by Charles King of Fullerton was going in the same direction as the stage. As the truck attempted to turn the corner the stage driver ran his car up on the side of a bank to avoid a collision. The stage stopped and turned sloyly over, the four wheels being in the air when rescuers arrived. And They Say —This question is being asked frequently. "By voting the bonds does that insure the creation of a park?" The sum of $75,000 asked for in the notice of election is for the purpose of buying a site, only. Other arrangements must be made to lay out the park and beautify it. The site chosen will also be used for a location for a city hall. It is said realty now belonging to the city may be sold and the funds thus secured used in erecting the new municipal building. A large number of people have signed a petition asking that the library block be chosen for the park site. Another petition, not so numerously signed, requests that the North Lemon street 19½ acres be selected. Should the bonds carry the city trustees have the power, by law in them vested, to select the site. The people now have the question in their hands to be decided on September 30. —The speed maniac is still on the job bruising and malming his victims, with no apparent let-up.

Stephens has issued a proclamation, given out by his secretary during the Governor's absence from the capital, suggesting September 17, the one hundred and thirty-second anniversary of the signing of the Federal Constitution, be observed in California as "Constitution Day." The proclamation refers to "a spirit of irresponsible assault on our institutions" as prevalent and urges that a regard for the Federal Constitution be promoted as that document is the national bulwark. The proclamation follows: "September 17 will be the one hundred and thirty-second anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States. No step in the progress of human government ever had greater significance for the well being of mankind. "It behooves all good American citizens to strive to inculcate in our people and in the minds of the rising generation an understanding and respect and reverence for our country's Constitution in order that the principles of right and freedom embodied therein may be maintained and safeguarded in the interest of orderly and just government. "A spirit of irresponsible assault on our institutions prevails to a considerable extent in our land. The arts of clever propaganda seem formidable against our courts and our constitutions. This advocacy of lawlessness and ruin can not endure. The sound citizenship of our country will manifest itself and the vicious agitation must soon disappear. "It is the duty of all loyal Americans to denounce the promotion of anarchistic doctrine and to assert themselves in support of the laws that guarantee peaceful pursuit and safety of the people and their liberties. The great bulwark is our Federal Constitution and we must ever promote a regard for it and a realization of its beneficence.

Trial of an action for $20,000 damages, brought by Julia., and William H. Atwood against Horace Lucy, owner o fa meat market at Placentia and several other defendants as the result of an automobile accident in January, 1918, is on the calendar of department 1 of the superior court for 10 o'clock on the morning of October 21. The James Green company, a corporation, and Smith and Brown, a partnership, are made parties to the suit by the plaintiffs, who claim that these firms own an interest in the meat market. The Atwood complaint, which was prepared by Attorney Benjamin Lewis of Los Angeles, alleges that Julia Atwood was a passenger in an automobile driven by Alvis Brown at the intersection of Bradford boulevard and Madison street at Placentia on January 16, 1918. It is alleged by the plaintiffs that a truck driven by a man referred to in the complaint as Richard Roe Lucy, alleged to be in the employ of Horace Lucy, was run into Alvis Brown's automobile, causing the latter to turn turtle. The truck, it is alleged, was being operated at a rate of speed greater than thirty miles an hour, and in an alleged careless and negligent manner. Julia Atwood alleges that she was rendered unconscious through being thrown out of Alvis Brown's machine; that she sustained seven broken ribs; that her left collar bone was fractured in two places; that her left shoulder cap was broken in three places; that her left shoulder blade —Several near-casualties from inhalation of the deadly cyanide used in fumigating have been reported the past week, but particulars are lacking for some reason or other.

The boys allow the mulattress is a peach in her chosen calling, and are still thinking of her fond embraces which she used unsparingly while locating bankrolls guys had hid away in their jeans. At first the men were led to believe they had made a conquest, so ardent were the hugs and kisses bestowed upon them, but upon being released all had a rude awakening when it was discovered their money was gone. Even then some were loath to believe they had been deceived, but upon comparing notes the victims were certain their new found chicken was a dip. Together with the chief money getter operated another who sat at the wheel of a great big touring car and when a rube had been plucked the pair made a hasty getaway in the car, thereby in part dispelling immediate suspicion. But it soon dawned upon the excited hombrez that they had been neatly touched, and at latest accounts the dusky damsel had quite a roll tucked away in her hosiery after browsing in the green pastures in this neck of the jungles. —Incompatibility of temper and domestic infidelity invaded a home the other day and the vexed male member of the family used harsh means in asserting his authority—among them being pulling the wife around by the hair and occasionally landing a blow over the head.

The great bulwark is our Federal Constitution and we must ever promote a regard for it and a realization of its beneficence. "I, therefore, suggest that September 17 be observed as Constitution Day, that proper exercises be held in the public schools throughout the State and that citizens everywhere give time for thought and reflection on the significance of the occasion when our courageous forefathers, under the inspiration of God, gave to our country and to humanity this greatest instrument of free government ever created by the hand of man.

Its only spread was through increase of root shoot or through being trampled upon and pressed into the soft moist ground, each joint becoming a new plant. Napier grass produces greater tonnage and greater amount of pasture than any other forage plant known and is not a pest. It should be given a place on every farm and every farm has a place for it." Julia Atwood alleges that she was rendered unconscious through being thrown out of Alvis Brown's machine; that she sustained seven broken ribs; that her left collar bone was fractured in two places; that her left shoulder cap was broken in three places; that her left shoulder blade was broken; that she sustained a basal skull fracture and various cuts and bruises and that she was permanently injured as a result of shock. An answer, prepared by Attorney Clyde Bishop, was entered by Lucy, denying all of Julia Atwood's allegations. Lucy, in his answer, alleges that it was not a truck, but a two passenger Ford roadster which figured in the accident and that if the plaintiff's suffered any injuries or damages they were caused by reason of the carelessness and negligence of the plaintiffs.

JACKSON'S TROOTSHIPS ARE NOW MORE PLENTIFUL THAN MEN Forty-seven at Brest at One Time and (1) Passengers for Them. A match from New York Monday says that eight more transports have reached Port, bringing a total of 3760 officers and men from scattered units. These vessels had a total capacity of 19,300 and several of them arrived almost empty. According to those on board the war department miscalculated its arrangements so badly that recently there were 47 troopships gathered at Brest and no troops. In centally, the error, what with food gone to waste, troopships refitted and charter cost, will have made up an item of some $2,000,000 gone to the demotion bowwows. It was pointed out that the Iowa alone could have brought all the officers and men carried by the whole eight ships, three of which left Brest on the same day, Aug. 19, while one left to day before and two others the day following. Information from a number of the army officers aboard one or another of the arriving ships disclosed some interesting aspects of the present transport situation. One of these was the fact that the German ships requisitioned from German ports through insistence on the part of the American peace commissioners have been wholly unneeded and are nothing but an additional expense to the government. A case in point is that of the Imperial, which was ripped out for the better quartering of officers, at an expense of $130,000 and made just no fade 1.15. Black and khaki 1.25.

YOUR MONEY'S WORTH ALWAYS ANAHEIM MAKING WINE THAT CONFORMS TO THE LAW Vineyardists Busy Manufacturing New Beverage. California wine of one-half of 1 per cent alcoholic content by weight and volume not contrary to Federal law, and palatable, is an established fact, according to information obtained from the office of Internal Revenue Collector John P. Carter. The secret of making one-half of 1 per cent wine is not divulged, but it is known, in a general way, that it calls for the fortification of the wine with brandy and the subsequent extraction of that brandy, leaving a beverage which stands within the prohibition law's provisions and still will keep for an indefinite period. Monday a North Cucamonga winery began making this new vintage and a Guasti concern will start its manufacture next Monday. These two wineries it is said will make more wine this season than they have in years. Their output will provide for the immense quantities the advance orders seem to justify. Grape growers, who are receiving $50 a ton for their grapes, as against $35 and $40 a ton last year, are jubilant over the prospect of big harvest and great demand. Now that the wine men have suddenly switched their program and are proposing to make a wine that falls within the inhibitions of neither the War-Time Act nor the Constitutional Amendment, revenue men say it is up to the Commissioner to consider and make a new ruling; else Congress will have to pass another law to make and keep the United States absolutely bone in the water mains caused many leaky selections of unnot used in society.

One of these was the fact that the German ships requested from German ports through insistence on the part of the American peace commissioners have been wholly unneeded and are nothing but an additional expense to the government. A case in point is that of the Imperator, which was ripped out for the better quartering of officers, at an expense of $130,000 and made just one ship. Now she is being "ripped back" one of the officers put it, presumably at a duplication of the cost, and later she has been reconditioned she will be given to Great Britain under the Versailles treaty. One of the explanations made for the great gathering of transports at Brest was that recently the war department received a cablegram from the headquarters at Brest stating that 25,000 officers were congregated there and unable to get back to the United States for lack of suitable quarers aboard troopships. The war department, without further investigation, although, as it was pointed out, there were not at the time 25,000 American officers left in the whole of France, ordered the America, the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific made over into officers' troopships at a cost-of $500,000. By the time the four ships got to Brest it was found that there had been only some 2500 officers at Brest—a mistake in cable transmission, merely that, an dnothing more.
