Morgan & AID MAIMED WORKERS IS REPUBLICAN PLEA Fess Bill Granting Millions for Cure of 300,000 Crippled is Passed. In accordance with its promises and the spirit of the times, the Republicans of the House, led by Representative Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, chairman of the Committee on Education, have discussed and passed a bill providing for the rehabilitation of those crippled in industry. "The value of this sort of work is hardly questioned," Dr. Fess told the House. "We very readily took to the rehabilitation of the soldiers. There was little opposition to that. Yet there are more crippled in industry every year, if all injured are included, than are crippled in the military service. A careful investigation was made by the Federal Government and the report is to the effect that there are 22,250 total disabilities resulting from such injuries every year. If we take the total number of those who suffer from both total and slight disability it will approach very close to 300,000 a year. It is stated that a man's life in activity is something like twenty years. So, taking the average of the age of those crippled, it would seem that it occurs along between twenty and thirty. So it will be seen what a loss this disability is to the country, and what an advantage it would be if the government could take that same group and through their rehabilitation put them on their feet as self-supporting." It is provided in the bill that Congress shall appropriate $500,000 for the purpose of rehabilitation, in co-operation with the States, for the first year, $750,000 for the second year, and $1,000,000 for the third year and thereafter. For every dollar expended by the Federal Government, at least an equal amount is to be expended by the State governments.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE WALNUT PACKING PLANTS TAXED TO THE UTMOST California's Heaviest Crop Rapidly Going to the Markets. With every walnut packing house in the state working to full capacity the present indications are that the 1919 crop may even exceed the association's estimate of 23,000 tons, which is the largest crop of walnuts ever produced in California. The fact that during the first two weeks of October following the early rains fully half of the walnuts fell from the trees adds interest to the situation this year and taxes the output of the packing plants to the utmost. Some of the larger local associations have been working three shifts of sorters and running the graders continuously for 24 hours a day in order to keep up with the heavy deliveries from the orchards. In some cases even this course has not met the needs and some houses that were stacked full to the roof with walnuts from the growers had to close down on any further receipts for two or three days until they could catch up with the work. The California Walnut Growers' Association estimates that fully 85 per cent of the crop will have been delivered by November 15, when the first pool closes. This situation has demonstrated conclusively the need for equipping support the association's contention in its advertisements that walnuts are good to eat every month in the year as well as at Thanksgiving and Christmas. IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) The liberal scattering of bombs by persons who seem to have an imagined grievance against the oil companies in Brea Canyon led the owners of the properties to take some protective measures. Huge electric searchlights are being erected that will turn night into day around the oil wells and tank houses, and armed guards will cover the fields with orders to take care of all suspicious-looking characters. The Union Oil Company's Chapman gusher will be lighted by arc lights so powerful that any suspicious move will be detected at once. Other companies in the Richfield district are to take similar measures for the protection of the oil properties, tankage, tools and equipment. A 3500-barrel well was brought in by the Standard Oil Company on the Murphy lease Monday. The well, No. 66, completed at 2835 feet, is the second largest well brought in during the year, and maintains the supremacy of the Murphy property as the home of the biggest oil producers and the greatest producing lease in the state. Roe Little is the man who brings in big wells on the Murphy for the Standard, and unless he brings in a company’s big drilling program of a new well almost every week, Yorba No. 1 (the Union’s fourteenth well) was located a few days ago. Drilling is to commence as soon as the rig is built and rigging up done. On the Chapman lease the Union has No. 3 drilling at 2650, No. 4 is rigging up, and No. 5 is making hole at 1725. McFadden No. 1, the Union’s deepest outside property well, is drilling at 2650 feet and continues to look as encouraging as ever. Morse No. 1 is drilling at 1450 feet. Towell No. 1 is making hole rapidly, the log showing almost 2500 feet. Dickson No. 1 is drilling at 1725 feet, and the Thompson-Goodwin well is now re-drilling to within a very few feet of the original hole, 962 feet. Breaking out of its bounds and flowing at the rate of 10,000 barrels a day and tearing itself literally to pieces, sanding up and pipe collapsing, the Standard Oil Company’s Murphy No. 61 has been cleaned out, fixed up and put on the beam. To the utter surprise of all who saw this well in action last August, it is now doing only 300 berrels. This is the production made by the well when it was put on the beam for the first time, about six months ago, and a big increase is expected. Well No. 55, completed at 4025 feet, came in one of the smallest wells in the field, making only fifty berrels. No. 64 is drilling at 4000 feet and No. 65 at 4100 feet. U.S. PEOPLE INDULGING IN A SUGAR JAG Prohibition Responsible for the Shortage. It is Claimed. full to the roof with walnuts from the growers had to close down on any further receipts for two or three days until they could catch up with the work. The California Walnut Growers' Association estimates that fully 85 per cent of the crop will have been delivered by November 15, when the first pool closes. This situation has demonstrated conclusively the need for equipping the packing houses with the most modern and up-to-date machinery for handling the crop quickly and efficiently. The new packing house at Whittier is an example of the latest type of packing houses and with its 60 tons per day capacity has been able to keep up with the heavy deliveries this season. Instead of each grower culling his own walnuts this house does all of the culling for its members at a cost of less than $1 per ton, whereas the average cost of the same work when done on the ranch ranges from $3 to $5 per ton. There seems to be no good reason why a walnut grower should take out the culls from his crop any more than an orange grower should cull his oranges before delivering them. The work can be done more uniformly and at much less expense in the packing house, and a number of the more modern walnut houses are now following this plan at a considerable saving to their members. The quality of the crop this season is running fully up to the preliminary estimates although the early deliveries of nuts which fell first were as usual of light average weight. The vacuum machines now installed in practically all the houses lift these light weight nuts out, however, and the meats extracted at the cracking plants usually not the grower considerably over half the price received for his first grade walnuts. In some of the hot interior valleys and in orchards which did not have sufficient irrigation water last summer, perhaps 25 per cent of the walnuts are running No. 2s in size, but these smaller nuts are well filled as a rule. The association price on No. 2s this year was 5½ cents below the price named on No. 1s and at this differential the orders for No. 2s were readily con- A 3500-barrel well was brought in by the Standard Oil Company on the Murphy lease Monday. The well, No. 66, completed at 2835 feet, is the second largest well brought in during the year, and maintains the supremacy of the Murphy property as the home of the biggest oil producers and the greatest producing lease in the state. Roe Little is the man who brings in the big wells on the Murphy for the Standard, and unless he brings in a well making 3000 barrels or more he will not even comment on it. After drilling to 3235 feet, the Amalgamated's Yorba Linda well, Ibbitson No. 1, is in a hard sand and to date has shown no indications of oil. Unless a deep sand is struck soon the well will be in the doubtful class. The condition of the hole for deep drilling is good. After standing cemented for a couple of weeks, the Clark Oil Company drilled out the cement at Wetzell No. 1 early in the week, and the drilling is now going ahead again. An 8-inch string of pipe is now being carried. The Fullerton Oil Company's Travis No. 1 is now drilling at 3230 feet. The formation continues a sandy shale with no more favorable oil indications than were found some 600 feet up. The Fullerton Oil Company struck the hard conglomerate under the grass roots at Anaheim No. 1, and now at 360 feet the sme hard stuff is holding back the drilling. On the strength of the gusher-like appearance of Stearns No. 1, the General Petroleum has located two new wells in the Richfield district. The General Petroleum has two Stearns properties, No. 1 and No. 2. New wells were located on pN. 1 and No. 2 and will be known as Stearns 1-No. 2 and Stearns 2-No. 1. These two wells and Yarrington No. 1, also a new well, are to be drilled at once. After drilling to 4718 feet and not finding a sign of oil or gas, the Standard Oil Company has quit drilling and will abandon the well. After leaving the 4000-foot mark the formation of months ago, and a big increase is expected. Well No. 55, completed at 4025 feet, came in one of the smallest wells in the field, making only fifty barrels. No. 64 is drilling at 4000 feet and No. 65 at 4100 feet. U.S.PEOPLE INDULGING IN A SUGAR JAG Prohibition Responsible for the Shortage, It is Claimed. The United States is declared to be on a sugar spree. Prohibition of liquor has resulted in the development of a national sweet tooth. Science accounts for this by stating that sugar causes a fomentation in the stomach which produces alcohol; and the excessive user of sugar gets a mild "kick" out of sugar, that reminds of the good old days. Whether this is true or not, the fact remains that the people of the United States are now using nearly twice as much sugar as they did before the war. And they are paying more than twice as much for it. Raising the price of sugar to nearly double what it was before the war hasn't resulted in a lessened use of sugar, but on the other hand the consumption of sugar has nearly doubled under the increased price. The sugar situation has become such that the banks have become interested in it. A statement received from New York shows a number of compilations made at the instigation of the National City Bank of New York. The figures show that the United States consumed about 25 per cent of the world's output of sugar in 1919, and that on the average 83 pounds of sugar were consumed by every individual in the United States during this year. In 1900 the average consumption of sugar per person in the United States was only fifty-nine pounds. So it appears that the people of the United States are on a sugar spree right now. United States District Attorney J. Robert O'Connor was advised by Attorney General Palmer that there is nothing illegal, or even objectionable to the Government, in the action of grocers in requiring customers to purchase verbally over half the price received for his first grade walnuts. In some of the hot interior valleys and in orchards which did not have sufficient irrigation water last summer, perhaps 25 per cent of the walnuts are running No. 2s in size, but these smaller nuts are well filled as a rule. The association price on No. 2s this year was 5½ cents below the price named on No. 1s and at this differential the orders for No. 2s were readily confirmed. Within 36 hours after opening prices were named this year the association was sold out on its estimated tonnage and was forced to decline orders for approximately 90 carloads in addition. Shipments are now going forward from the 28 association houses at the rate of about 35 cars a day, and all of these are heavily loaded owing to the present car shortage. With the assistance of the national advertising campaign on Diamond Brand walnuts again this year to stimulate consumption of this big crop, there is little doubt but that the 1919 crop will be quickly disposed of and that the walnut growers will again find themselves in the fortunate position of being able to place their 1920 crop on a bare market. The association is trying an experiment this year in packing a part of the meats extracted from the culls, in eight ounce tin cans. The meats are packed in vacuum so that they will keep sweet and fresh indefinitely and are instantly available for use on cakes, salads, etc., all the year around. A large part of the output of these vacuum packed cans will be marketed in New York City and the merchandising of this consumers package will After drilling to 4718 feet and not finding a sign of oil or gas, the Standard Oil Company has quit drilling and will abandon the well. After leaving the 4000-foot mark the formation alternated between a hard sand and a blue shale, the hard sand predominating. The deep test well on the Anaheim property proves the lease and will probably cause the discontinuance of drilling on Lock No. 1, the adjoining property line well, which has been standing idle for some time awaiting the outcome of the Anaheim well. Lock No. 2 is drilling and is already close to 4000 feet deep. On the Vejar, the Standard's extreme east side property, No. 1 is close to 2200 feet and making excellent progress. The Standard Oil Company's Collins well, drilled in at 3643 feet almost two months ago, is still being worked upon in an endeavor to get the well to produce. A heaving sand has filled the well up almost a thousand feet, and every effort has been made to get the well cleaned out and going, but all have been without success. The sand seems to fill in almost as fast as it can be bailed out. On the Kraemer property 2-3 is rigged up ready for drilling, 2-4 spudded in early in the week and shows 1000 feet of hole Kraemer 2-5 is drilling at 1200. Kraemer 2-6 is rigged up and 2-7 is building rig. In keeping with the Union Oil ComUnited States was only fifty-nine pounds. So it appears that the people of the United States are on a sugar spree right now. United States District Attorney J. Robert O'Connor was advised by Attorney General Palmer that there is nothing illegal, or even objectionable to the Government, in the action of grocers in requiring customers to purchase a certain amount of other provisions in order to be able to purchase sugar. The retailers of Los Angeles have been requiring customers desiring sugar to purchase at least a dollar's worth of other things before they could buy any sugar at all. Some grocers refuse to sell more than half a pound of sugar to any one customer. Several local grocers stated in answer to inquiry that they have noted Your Money-- What will it buy in clothes this fall? YOU'RE pretty sure you're going to pay a good price for clothes this fall; you’re not so certain the clothes will be as good as the price. You can be 100 per cent sure Come to this store, you'll get Hart Schaffner and Marx clothes, all wool, stylish, guaranteed; as good as ever. Your money back if you think you don't get your money's worth. F.A. Yungbluth "By All Means Get a Fit." Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes "By All Means Get a Fit." Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes the fact of increased consumption of sugar since the enforcement of prohibition laws against the use of liquors And along with this has come a tendency on the part of some to hoard sugar, since the restrictions of the Government against individual hoarding of sugar have been removed. Preparations are being made by United States District Attorney O'Connor for Federal prosecution of sugar dealers who may have gone beyond the bounds of the laws regarding the handling and sale of sugar. Much evidence that has been secured will be placed before the new Federal Grand Jury, and some indictments may follow. The retail price of sugar was raised 1 cent a pound during the last week. Whether this raise on the part of the retailers was legal or not has not yet been determined. The grocers are depending on an alleged ruling by former State Food Administrator Ralph Merriott to the effect that a fair profit for retailers of sugar would be 1½ cents a pound. The wholesalers are asking 19½ cents and the retailers jumped their price from 11 to 12 cents. In the meantime housewives are wondering where it will all end. In the President's report of expenses at Paris, there is a small item of $150,000 for expenses of Barney Baruch, as technical adviser. When the famous peace note of December, 1916, was published, this same expert made $400,000 by getting advance information. You can't lose Barney at any stage of the game.
