FIND AUGURY OF 1920 IN OKLAHOMA ELECTION Victory of Republican Candidate After Overturn of 6,000 Majority in League Fight. Republican members of the House and Senate regard the outcome of the Congressional by-election in the fifth Oklahoma district on Saturday the 8th of the month as a more important augury of a Republican sweep in 1920 than any result attained in the general election on the previous Tuesday. By a majority of 900, in the most important district in the home state of Representative Scott Ferris, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, the Republican candidate, John J. W. Harrald, wiped out a normal Democratic majority of 5,000 and defeated his Democratic opponent, Claude Weaver. And he did it on the sole issue of opposition to the league of nations covenant as it was presented to the Senate by President Wilson with the admonition that it was not to be changed in the slightest particular. In the campaign placards spread broadcast throughout the district this issue was pressed home. The photographic likeness of Herrald had above it an appeal for "America first" and the Monroe doctrine, and under it called attention of the unfulfilled Democratic promise to reduce the high cost of living, and to the six votes for England and one for the United States in the assembly of the league of nations. The Democratic speakers in the campaign declared that the national administration should be upheld and contended that the election of the Re- 1, and that those who refused to join the union were to have their haystacks burned, their machinery destroyed and their cattle run out of the country. The union rules were as follows: “1. Hereafter the farm working day in this township shall be eight hours in length, with Saturday afternoon and Sunday off. “2. No farmer in this township shall hereafter work more than forty-five hours in one week. Extra work shall be adequately paid for by the public as overtime. Milking cows before 8 o'clock in the morning and after 5 o'clock, time and a half. Milking cows before 6 o'clock in the morning or after 7 o'clock in the evening shall count as double time. “3. The price of all farm products grown in this township shall be advanced 20 per cent after November 1. “4. The right to collective bargaining shall be prescribed. Hereafter the price of farm products shall be determined at a meeting of farmers themselves, held at the town hall. “5. The sanitary conditions under which farmers have been working in this township must be improved. The unsatisfactory and unsavory condition of cattle sheds and barnyards must be remedied. The public must attend to this.” STUDYING INSECT KILLERS The development of methods for the manufacture of cheaper and better chemical compounds to kill insects and fungi which destroy large quantities of fruits and vegetables each year is the object of experimental ducted from rooftops of the State University shows all branch business and is interesting to co-pigs go off on them in tins.

The Democratic speakers in the campaign declared that the national administration should be upheld and contended that the election of the Republican candidate would be considered a vote of lack of confidence in the Wilson administration and the league of nations covenant. They were confident of victory. In 1914 their majority had been 4,754. In 1916 it went up to 5,092, when it gave President Wilson 6,953 majority for re-election in 1918, only a year ago, in face of the President's letter attacking the loyalty of the Republicans during the war, the majority was 4,123. This in the Democratic state of Oklahoma, where "Dick" Morgan has been the sole Republican member of Congress. As the result of the Oklahoma and other elections this month, the Republican leaders confidently predict that they will elect five more Republican Senators next year and make the score after March 4, 1921 in that body 54 Republicans to 42 Democrats. That this is not at all unreasonable may be easily proven by an examination of the facts underlying the prediction. Senator Phelan, of California, a Democrat, was elected at the time of the Republican split. In 1916 Senator Johnson carried the state by something like 300,000 majority. Hence it is not considered doubtful that Phelan will be succeeded by a Republican. Kentucky has gone Republican by 30,000. The last Republican Senator was chosen when the majority in the state was much less, at the time of the Roosevelt landslide. J. C. W. Beckham has not greatly distinguished himself in the Senate, and so his successor is more than likely to be a Republican. Senator John F. Nugent was elected last year in Idaho as a Democrat by a small majority—a few hundreds. Senator Borah, who was in the same election victorious by more than 30,000 majority, will have much to do with the selection of a Republican nominee and will probably remedied. The public must attend to this." STUDYING INSECT KILLERS The development of methods for the manufacture of cheaper and better chemical compounds to kill insects and fungi which destroy large quantities of fruits and vegetables each year is the object of experimental work recently undertaken by specialists in the insecticide and fungicide laboratory of the Bureau of Chemistry United States Department of Agriculture. The high cost of copper, which is an essential ingredient of the fungicide known as "Bordeaux mixture," has led to experiments to determine whether a Bordeaux mixture can not be prepared which will be more effective for each unit of copper present than as usually prepared, thus resulting a saving of this expensive constituent of the Bordeaux mixture. Studies also will be made of the manufacture of Paris green, lead arsenate, and other compounds of arsenic. No systematic study of all the compounds of arsenic that might be useful in spraying has been made, and it is thought probable that such a systematic study will lead either to the development of cheaper sprays, because the constituent elements are cheaper, or to sprays that are more effective than the sprays now used. Nicotine as an insecticide will be studied with a view of developing possible substitutes for it, since there are a number of compounds which resemble nicotine in chemical and toxic properties. It is hoped to develop something that will be cheaper and even more effective than nicotine. A study will also be made of the best and cheapest methods of extracting nicotine from tobacco products on the farm. Compounds of lime,sulphur, and other compounds which may be used as insecticides and fungicides will be investigated. Commercial methods of preparing insecticides and fungicides will be studied under practical conditions of preparation with a view of developing cheaper and more effective methods for manufacturing them. C. W. Beckham has not greatly distinguished himself in the Senate, and so his successor is more than likely to be a Republican. Senator John F. Nugent was elected last year in Idaho as a Democrat by a small majority—a few hundreds. Senator Borah, who was in the same election victorious by more than 30,000 majority, will have much to do with the selection of a Republican nominee and will probably institute a vigorous campaign for him especially as Congress will not be in session, and hence Nugent’s successor is counted as surely Republican. In a national election, with all the tendency against the present Democratic administration, it is considered highly probable that the senator who follows John Walter Smith in Maryland will be a Republican. In South Dakota Edwin S. Johnson, a Democrat, will, it is thought give way to a Republican. A FARMERS' UNION Pierre, S. D.—At a meeting of farmers in Millsville township, Haakon county, some one suggested that the farmers ought to organize along the lines of other labor. Following this suggestion, a committee was named to draw up a set of resolutions. While the whole matter was in the nature of a joke, resolutions were formally adopted after a preliminary statement that the closed shop laone should prevail in that township, that a committee of pickets should be appointed to patrol the township lines and slug anyone who attempts to enter the township to work in opposition to the rules adopted, after November EVOLUTION OF HAM SHOWN IN FILM How the packers take the pig, put him through the machinery of a big plant and turn him into delicious hams is shown in a film which the Extension Division of the University of California is now distributing throughout the schools and clubs of the state which share in the extensive educational movie service con- ANAHEIM GAZETTE RUBBER PLANT INVESTIGATIONS Number of Food Products Used by Indians Listed as Accessory to Normal Food Supply Also Found. Three heretofore undisclosed features characterize the investigations of rubber plants of Western North America by the Department of Botany of the University of California under the direction of the Committee on Scientific Research of the State Council of Defense of California during the war, have been made known by Dr. John Campbell Merriam. These features are: 1—An emergency supply of 300,000,000 pounds of rubber from plants was actually found. 2—Further investigations now in progress are expected further to develop the results already obtained. 3—This rubber supply is from plants which grow in soil adaptable to no other plants whatsoever. "The recent publication by Professors H. M. Hall and T. H. Good-speed of the University shows that the University investigators succeeded in establishing the existence of a rubber supply at a time when the German submarine peril was at its height and when it was not impossible that the United States would be withducted from room 301 California Hall of the State University. The film shows all branches of the packing business and is said to be especially interesting to communities who see pigs go off on the hoof and come back in tins. The value of research during peace, Professor Merriam declared, lies in learning what our natural resources are good for besides their ordinarily accepted value, and getting the most out of them in time of national peril. Putting the results of research to actual work is called by Dr. Merriam the "application research stage. The potato and the tomato when first discovered were not the highly developed potato and tomato of today." PROSPERITY'S SECRET Senator Ferald of Maine recently delivered a masterful argument in favor of relieving the business of the country from further interference from the government. Reviewing the history of war restrictions and exposing the attempts that are being made to continue government control, the Senator made a notable contribution to the efforts of the Republican Congress to return the industries of the country to a normal condition. "Remove the shackles that some men are attempting to place upon the business interests of the country," said Senator Fernald. "Give them a fair field. Open the avenues of commerce, stimulate trade. Let each in his way work out the great industrial problems before us. Then will follow in my judgment, a peace and prosperity to our government such as the world has never known. And instead New Gas Rate Now Effective Southern Counties Gas Co. Allowed to Establish Schedule by Railroad Commission. A new rate schedule to be charged by the Southern Counties Gas Company of California for natural gas sold in the county of Ventura will increase the bills of approximately 26 per cent of the gas consumers and reduce the bills of 74 per cent. An increase of the minimum charge of 50 cents to $1.00 is the principal change from the old rate. The new schedule was ordered established by the Railroad Commission. It will be effective for all meter readings taken on and after November 15. According to the opinion accompanying the order establishing the new schedule, which was written by Commissioners Harvey D. Loveland and Harley Brundige, the change from artificial gas to natural gas resulted in a peculiar situation for the company. It was shown that because of the superior heat content of the natural gas there was an average reduction in the consumers bills of 44 per cent. The company's total revenue for the first six months natural gas was served was $22,261.34 while operating expenses were $34,041.34, a deficit of $11,780. Abnormal conditions, due to adjustments made necessary by the change from artificial to natural gas and improvements in the company's plant, are held responsible plants which grow in soil adaptable to no other plants whatsoever. "The recent publication by Professors H. M. Hall and T. H. Goodspeed of the University shows that the University investigators succeeded in establishing the existence of a rubber supply at a time when the German submarine peril was at its height and when it was not impossible that the United States would be without rubber altogether unless a native supply could be found. The question at that time was not how much it would cost to secure native rubber, but whether this country had within itself any adequate supply. Research of the University of California established that such supply did exist," Professor Merriam stated. Dr. Merriam revealed for the first time the shackles that some men are attempting to place upon the business interests of the country," said Senator Fernald. "Give them a fair field. Open the avenues of commerce, stimulate trade. Let each in his way work out the great industrial problems before us. Then will follow in my judgment, a peace and prosperity to our government such as the world has never known. And instead of attempting to make big business little, let us all pull together to make little business big. Where industry creates and justice protects, prosperity dwells." It develops that Great Britain is paying the salaries of the American attaches of the league of nations. That seems entirely appropriate.

Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes natural gas there was an average reduction in the consumers bills of 44 per cent. The company's total revenue for the first six months natural gas was served was $22,261.34 while operating expenses were $34,041.34, a deficit of $11,780. Abnormal conditions, due to adjustments made necessary by the change from artificial to natural gas and improvements in the company's plant, are held responsible for the abnormal expense. Estimates show, however, that the present rates with normal operating conditions will result in an actual deficit of $6,400 per annum. In its analysis of the situation the commission finds: "A gas'utility has a material investment for each consumer, which is occasioned by its readiness to serve that consumer without reference to the quantity of gas used. In addition there is considerable expense incurred in reading meters and handling consumers accounts, likewise independent of the consumers use of gas. An analysis of these costs, which are chargeable to consumers, shows that a minimum of $1.00 per meter per month should be made. "The company has without question greatly improved the service of gas in Ventura county. The continuance of this improved service cannot be expected unless the company can earn a reasonable compensation for its service, including a fair return on its investment. The inhabitants of Ventura county supplied with gas by the company will not question paying compensatory rates provided they receive adequate service and fair treatment from the utility. At the present time the consumers are receiving the improved service at an average reduction in cost of approximately 44 per cent below the cost to them of gas service received during 1918, and even with the increased minimum, the communities bill for the equivalent gas ser- F.A.Yungbluth "By All Means Get a Fit."

Shantung will be returned to China, says Ambassador Shedahara, but it is significant that he refused to say when. The German concession was for 99 years. As the Japanese are standing on the contention that what they took over was German and not Chinese property, it may not be unreasonable to assume that they will stand for the full term that Germany extorted from China.

WILSON English cloth producers have been trying to hustle up the Government Department of Wool Textile Production to unload some 2,000,000 yards of material available for the manufacture of standard costumes and coat frocks, this supply being sufficient to produce about 500,000 such garments. A report from London states, "the export demand for wool goods is exceptionally heavy." Evidently the British clothing manufacturers want to work up the clothes now held by their government and unload suitings in the American market before the Republicans can enact tariff restrictions on such goods. But the Britons need not fear. They have over a year to market their products here, for President Wilson will never permit a protective measure to become law. That must await his permanent retirement, along with his free trade following. In order that the American people may get their reading matter at a reasonable price, Representative Charles A. Christopherson, of South Dakota, has introduced a bill in the House which makes it unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to export any print paper from the United States. He would have any person who violates such an act fined $10,000 and imprisoned ten years. He would have it continued one year, because of the present paper famine, or for a longer period at the discretion of the President.
