ORGANIZE UNIT OF COMMERCIAL FEDERATION FIRST BRANCH IN COUNTY INSTITUTED AT ORANGE WEDNESDAY Object is to Interest Business Men in Public Affairs, and for Protection Against Radicals.—Capt. W. O. Hart is President. The first branch of the Orange county unit, Commercial Federation of California, was organized at Orange Wednesday night by Senator G. W. Cartwright and H. M. Haldeman, president of the state organization. Officers were elected and twenty charter members were secured at once. The officers chosen were: Capt. W. O. Hart, editor of the Orange News, president; Willard Smith, Villa Park orchardist, vice-president; H. D. Nichols, business man, secretary, and N. T. Edwards, member board of supervisors, treasurer. These men, together with D. Eyman Huff, manager of the Hewes interests at El Modena, compose the board of trustees. Capt. Hart threw a thrill into his auditors when in presenting the name of an Orange man for president of the association, he said that in view of dous influence in legislation in this nation. It represents about 5 per cent of the population. Its voting strength as an organization is recognized. We believe it is time that the business interests of the nation were awakening to this fact and preparing themselves to exert an organized influence in behalf of the interests of the many rather than in the interests of the few. "It is a sad commentary on our judiciary, but it is a fact nevertheless that in the recent Pacific Electric strike in Los Angeles two judges declined to handle injunction cases incident to the strike. They were afraid of the labor vote. "If you value what the constitution has given wou, if you value your home and family life, get behind this movement and help us put it over." "The pillars of civilization today are crumbling all over the country—and because we have been too absorbed with our own petty affairs, in chasing the dollar and in polishing office chairs," shouted Senator Cartwright in launching into his discourse that developed in the minds of his hearers a clear insight to the purposes of I. W. Wism and the serious situation in which the business interests of the nation find themselves today. He declared that if the business men of the nation had organized five years ago under the lines of the Commercial Federation of California, the conditions of today would not obtain. "We have been too busy protecting our dollars and in making another to pay attention to what has been going around us," he said. "We have no industrial problems to think about." NOTED BALL IN LIVING Tub Spencer, Father "Tub" Spencer known big league the United States of Fullerton, reckons wealth: He sylvania and is oil field working ball, and that it is a catcher and his guild. He is after the style of great assistance he had to be wild gored Al Jennings hind the plate. Spencer started many years ago for a time when from sight He personally conducted Great White War general public. One day in Boston on the street we markably good was and interest with the result a come-back whiffention in based one thing in record. He played in six of the National League to Detroit, where cipal backstop season, he, like big leaguers, can spend the winter lerton as the ideal rejuvenation and has orchardist, vice-president; H. D. Nichols, business man, secretary, and N. T. Edwards, member board of supervisors, treasurer. These men, together with D. Eyman Huff, manager of the Hewes interests at El Modena, compose the board of trustees. Capt. Hart threw a thrill into his auditors when in presenting the name of an Orange man for president of the association, he said that in view of the incident at Centralia, Wash., on Armistice Day, it was time that "Americanism" was asserting itself and that every true American was aligning himself with an organization of the character of the Commercial Federation of California. The incident he referred to was the killing and wounding of returned service men by I. W. W.'s at Centralia. "The incident is one that should arouse the red blood of every good American," said Hart. "I was on the training field and I messed with one of the men who was shot down. He just recently returned from service in Siberia. He was a good American and a good soldier. When such a dastardly deed as that is committed, I say that it is time that Americanism was asserting itself and that Americans were identifying themselves with just such an organization as is proposed here tonight." His utterances were applauded to the echo. At the last meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, Cartwright, Haldeman, and other business men of Los Angeles presented the federation to the large assemblage of representative men in attendance. Chairman D. Eyman Huff was authorized to appoint a committee to take up the details of a county organization, and A. S. Bradford of Placentia, Chas. F. Smith of Santa Ana and L. P. Damewood of Orange were appointed as such a committee. The committee was invited to meet with the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association of Orange at its regular meeting with a view to organizing a county unit. The inadvisability of attempting the organization of a county unit in Orange or any other single community was brought out in discussions, and it was decided that each estates of the nation find themselves today. He declared that if the business men of the nation had organized five years ago under the lines of the Commercial Federation of California, the conditions of today would not obtain. "We have been too busy protecting our dollars and in making another to pay attention to what has been going on around us," he said. "We have no industrial problems—we think we have—it is the poison in the minds of our people, that is all. We must get this out of the minds of the people. We must counteract that poison with a campaign of education. We must do it by inducing right thinking. "One per cent of the people are endowed with musical genius, but they profit from that genius only to the extent to which they render the public a service. One per cent are blessed with the genius of art, but they profit only to the extent to which they render a service to the public. One percent is endowed with the genius of business management. That one percent has 100 per cent of the business genius of the country—it has the faculty of developing big enterprises, of handling money, of handling men, but it can profit only to the extent it renders a service to the public. "The man who has the faculty of directing, of accumulating-money, can wear only one suit of clothes, can eat only one slice of bacon, can eat only one pound of beans, and you or I can do this. The man who accumulates a fortune can enjoy it only to the extent that he renders a public service. "Take Rockefeller for instance, and I take him as an illustration, not that I approve all his methods of business, but because he has been successful. Call it greed, vanity, or what you will. I call it ambition. He must put his millions back into enterprises, and when he does this he provides for the 99 per cent who haven't the business genius. "When we get legislation that will take the shackles from American industry, business will break its leashes and spring forth in a manner that it never has before." Damewood of Orange were appointed as such a committee. The committee was invited to meet with the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association of Orange at its regular meeting with a view to organizing a county unit. The inadvisability of attempting the organization of a county unit in Orange or any other single community was brought out in discussions, and it was decided that each section should organize a branch, with delegates from each later to be elected to a central body to be known as the Orange County Unit of the Commercial Federation of California. The purpose of the organization is to interest business men in governmental affairs and induce their active work in the selection of men for offices of public trust who are capable and who have no selfish interests to harbor or who are not in any way identified with corporate interests. The work extends to city, county, state and national affairs. Eradication of radicalism in its every phase is another object, even touching upon educational institutions. "We are organizing for constructive work," declared President Haldeman, "It is easy to tear down, but it is hard to build up. The people of today are thinking along the wrong lines and we want to change that thought by an educational campaign. We want to work in the interest of the employee and the employer." "We are not fighting organized labor, but we are fighting the things that organized labor is asking for that it is not entitled to. We are opposed to class or radical legislation. The Federation of Labor wields tremen- It having been announced in Los Angeles that George A. Fox, convicted of defrauding Mrs. Anna G. Walters, Anaheim widow, out of $5106.25, would serve his sentence of from one to ten years in San Quentin without further appeal, Fox is the Los Angeles county jail awaited the receipt, by Sheriff Cline, of the remittitur from the District Court of Appeals, which would precede Fox's departure for San Quentin. The higher court had approved the judgment sending Fox to prison, but John L. Richardson, Fox's attorney, gave notice of appeal to the State Superior Court. Late last summer Superior Judge West awarded Mrs. Walters, who alleged that Fox through lover's wiles had defrauded her out of her ranch near Anaheim, a judgment of $60,000. While out on bail, last summer, and while awaiting the decision of the Appeals Court from the judgement sending him to prison, Fox jumped his bail. Arrested in the northern part of the state, Fox was returned to the Los Angeles county jail. There, in an interview, Fox said, referring to Mrs. Walters, "She tempted me and I fell." ANAHEIM GAZETTE NOTED BALL PLAYER LIVES AT FULLERTON Tub Spencer, Famous Backstop, Working in Oil Region. "Tub" Spencer, one of the best known big league baseball players in the United States, is now a resident of Fullerton, residing on West Commonwealth. He is a native of Pennsylvania and is as familiar with the oil field workings as he is with baseball, and that is going some. "Tub" is a catcher and derives his name from his guild. He is patterned something after the style of a tub and was of great assistance to pitchers. A pitcher had to be wilder than the deer that gored Al Jennings to miss "Tub" behind the plate. Spencer started out in the big game many years ago and was a sensation for a time when he suddenly dropped from sight. He went on one of those personally conducted affairs along the Great White Way and got lost to the general public. One day in Boston a friend met him on the street who knew what a remarkably good ball player Spencer was and interested himself in "Tub" with the result that the latter staged a come-back which attracted more attention in baseball circles than any one thing in recent years. He played in some of the big clubs of the National League and then went to Detroit, where he was their principal backstop. At the close of the season, he, like many others of the big leaguers, came to California to spend the winter. "Tub" picked Fullerton as the ideal spot for a winter colony and has secured a position all competitors as can be seen from the following list of winners and their records in the contest at Storrs during the past eight years: 1912, White Leghorns (5 birds), F. G. Yost, Sayre, Pennsylvania, 1,071. 1913, White Leghorns (5 birds), Tom Barron, Catforth, England, 1,190. 1914, White Leghorns (10 birds), Francis F. Lincoln, Mt. Carmel, Connecticut, 2,088. 1915, White Wyandottes (10 birds), Tom Barron, Catforth, England, 2,072. 1916, White Wyandottes (10 birds), Obed G. Knight, Bridgeton, Rhode Island, 2,265. 1917, Barred Plymouth Rocks (10 birds), Applecock Farm, Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, 2,119. 1918, Oregon, (10 birds), Agricultural College, Corvalis, Oregon, 2,352. 1919, Barred Plymouth Rocks (10 birds), Jules F. Francais, Westhampton Beach, Long Island, 2,022. There were 1,000 birds in the contest of 11 different breeds and varieties and from 15 states and three of the Canadian provinces. They laid a grand total of 145,462 eggs. The following table shows the number of birds in each of the four principal classes, the average individual egg yield for the year and the general average for all varieties that participated in the contest. 500 Leghorns ... 149.7 220 Plymouth Rocks ... 147.5 100 Rhode Island Reds ... 147.3 130 Wyandottes ... 134.8 50 Miscellaneous ... 119.1 1,000 Average all breeds ... 145.5 The best individual work was done by White Leghorn hen No. 522, owned an agricultural museum and eight experiment stations have been established. Short courses in agriculture are given in a number of schools and plans are under way for a system of agricultural education for educating an adequate corps of highly trained agricultural specialists. Some notable achievements have been recorded in plant utilization. Guayule, a dwarfish desert plant that was formerly supposed to be of no commercial value, has been found to yield a good quality of rubber, and plantations of it are now under cultivation at the experiment station at Tehuacan, Pueblo. It is believed this rubber will be largely utilized in making automobile tires and for other purposes. BUMPED SUPERVISOR Alleging careless and reckless driving on the part of the defendants, A. S. Ralph, secretary of the Automobile Club of Orange County, will seek to recover $78.42 in damages from the United Stages, a corporation, through a suit which was on file in justice court at Santa Ana. The complaint recited that on March 15, of this year, an automobile driven by S. H. Finley, county supervisor, who has assigned his claim against the defendants to Ralph, was run into by one of the United Stages' cars at the corner of Fourth street and Grand avenue, Santa Ana. Both cars were being driven in a westerly direction, the complaint asserted. Finley, it was declared, ascertained by looking that it was safe for NEW SERVICE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF SOUTHER CALIFORNIA Local automobile owners who are members of the Automobile Club of Southern California are to have their own legal representatives to listen to their troubles and straighten them out whenever possible, according to an announcement just made by David R. Faries, general counsel of the club. That is, the Club has instituted an addition to the service of its legal department according to the announcement. Each county in Southern California is now provided with its own branch of the legal department to represent club members in this county. Attorneys of recognized ability and reputation have been retained by the club in each county where the organization maintains an office, and these attorneys are now associated with the club's legal department. Members of the club residing in this county, will, hereafter, be privileged as a matter of convenience and prompt service to consult with Eden & Koepsel, whose office is at 411½ North Main Street, Santa Ana, on all matters that may arise and are within the scope of the activities of the club's legal department. In all such matters, however, it is particularly requested that members first consult Mr. Metcalf, the club's representative in charge of its work in this county, and through him, place the matter in hand before Eden & Koepsel. The home office of the average for all varieties that participated in the contest. 500 Leghorns ... 149.7 220 Plymouth Rocks ... 147.5 100 Rhode Island Reds ... 147.3 130 Wyandottes ... 134.8 50 Miscellaneous ... 119.1 1,000 Average all breeds ... 145.5 The best individual work was done by White Leghorn hen No. 522, owned by S. G. McLean, South Glastonbury, Connecticut. This hen laid more eggs than any other hen in the contest. Her record for the year was 260 eggs. Laurel Hill Farm's Rhode Island Red No. 402 from Bridgeton, Rhode Island, was best in her class with a score of 258 eggs. Two Barred Rock hens, Nos. 46 and 47, from Laurel, Quebec, tied for first with a score of 235 eggs each. Curtis L. Allen's hen No. 275 from Nicholson, Pennsylvania, was at the top in the Wyandotte division with a yield of 238 eggs. SILAGE FROM BEET TOPS In the intermountain West where there is a shortage this season of hay and other forage, the siloing of beet tops is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture as an aid in meeting the condition. Many beet growers have found that beet top silage has a value equal to about one-half of the value of alfalfa hay. The silage is well suited for the dairyman or for the feeder of beef or mutton. When fed to cattle or sheep the hay requirements may be reduced 50 per cent, and, furthermore, the warm, succulent silage appears to create appetite in the animals, causing them to take on weight and utilize larger volumes of feed. Beet pulp and molasses have an established value with stock feeders. At the present price of beet molasses, many feeders are finding a molasses blend with hay or with pulp to be profitable. It also furnishes variety and stimulates appetite when fed in regulated amounts. An inexpensive pit silo may be made by scooping out a hole of suitable size to hold the beet tops. The bottom and side of the silo should be lined with straw before it is filled with the EGG LAYING CONTEST A pen of Barred Rocks from New York won the eighth international egg laying contest conducted by the Connecticut agricultural college at Storrs. For the year ending October 30, the ten pullets in this pen entered by Jules F. Francais of Westhampton Beach, Long Island, laid 2022 eggs. This was the only pen in the entire competition to average more than 200 eggs for each of the ten hens. The winning pen has led all comers for the last 32 weeks and won in spite of the fact that one of their number went on strike last July and has not laid an egg since. This is the second time that Barred Rocks have outlaid In all such matters, however, it is particularly requested that members first consult Mr. Metcalf, the club's representative in charge of its work in this county, and through him, place the matter in hand before Eden & Koepsel. The home office of the department will be in constant touch and communication with the various county legal representatives at all times, it is pointed out. The appointment of the attorneys, say club officials, has been made after careful thought, and is in no way a reflection upon the hundreds of other attorneys who are members of the organization and with whom the legal department has always worked, and will continue to work, in the closest harmony. MEXICANS WANT TO CO-OPERATE Miguel Santa Maria and Ernesto Reza Rivera, scientific agronomists of the Mexican Department of Agriculture, have recently spent considerable time in Washington in conference with heads of various bureaus and offices in the United States Department of Agriculture. They have also attended the Farmers' Congress at Kansas City, the Cotton Congress at New Orleans, and agricultural and live-stock meetings in a number of cities. They expressed deep interest in co-operative work with the United States Department of Agriculture in phases of agriculture that are of interest to both countries and in which complete success for either depends somewhat on what is done by the other. Messrs. Santa Maria and Rivera had an interesting story to tell of the progress in agriculture that has been achieved in Mexico in spite of the disturbed condition of the country during the past few years. The magnificent buildings of the Mexican Department of Agriculture have been completed, Family Washing SAVE your wife the drudgery of the washtub by sending us your family washing.

Once the treaty is signed the title to Shantung is in Japan. It can be taken from Japan thereafter only by the unanimous consent of all members of the council of the league of nations, including Japan, and the two great powers, France and Great Britain, which by secret treaty with Japan agreed that Japan should retain Shantung. Of course, if it were intended to return Shantung to China, that transaction would be effected in the treaty, where agreements are mutual, rather than in the council of the league of nations, where such decisions can only be made by unanimous consent.
