VOLUME XLIX MUCH DIRT SOLD AT PRICE OF POTATOES GEORGE McPHEE DISCOURSES ON OUTRAGEOUS TRANSACTIONS OF DEALERS IN COMMODITIES. Ten Pounds of Soil to Sack of Potatoes Sold in Fullerton.—Bread Higher Now than When Flour Sold for One-Fourth Less. County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee, guardian of the purchaser of foodstuffs, whose Argus eyes are continually spotting violators of the weights and measures law and whose hand falls heavily on those guilty of short weight selling, is considerably peeved over the high cost of living, brought about by conditions over which his department has no control. To a Gazette man yesterday he said: convention held in Los Angeles last week. Roy K. Bishop of Orange, was elected a member of the executive committee. The new president says that the beemen want several bills put through the next legislature. One will be to raise the pay of county bee inspectors. A limit of $4.00 a day is provided by law now. The inspectors of the state are nearly all opposed to having a state bee inspector. LOWERING OF LIGHT RATES DISCUSSED Number of Citizens Happened to Meet and Give Question the Curbstone Once-Over. Several well-known citizens, who are large taxpayers, and who do not live within the downtown business area, happened to meet a few days ago and got to talking about things in general and finally found themselves discussing the prospect of the trustees reducing the cost for electric lights and putting an extra tax upon the general public to pay for street lights. From the outset it may be stated that this is a debatable question. "Take John Cook, for instance," said one of the gentlemen.

To a Gazette man yesterday he said: "The white man's burden in the way of high cost of living is being augmented daily by those who deal in the necessaries of life until it seems that to the kiting of prices and the lessening of value received there would be no end. "Take bread for example," he continued. "Three years ago when flour soared to somewhere about sixteen dollars a barrel, the twenty-four ounce loaf sold at retail for nine and ten cents, while today, with flour such as is commonly used by bakers selling for less than twelve dollars a barrel, the twenty-four ounce loaf sells at fifteen cents. "And don't let's forget potatoes. For the erstwhile lowly spud has jumped to front rank in the vegetable kingdom in the matter of price and now is doled out to the consumer at the rate of three and one-half pounds for twenty-five cents. And even at the outrageous price it would not be so bad if one were able to get a good article, sound and fit for food. But the reverse is the rule and the reason for it is that the commodity is bought up and held in cold storage until decay sets in and when released for distribution all the way from fifteen to twenty-five per cent is affected. "The grower and wholesaler are generally safe from loss because of this condition however, for in many instances the weight of the sack is made up by dirt in the proportion of from five to twenty per cent. This is not by any means an exaggerated statement, for I was called upon recently at Fullerton to examine and weigh part of a shipment of potatoes received from a firm of Los Angeles wholesalers and found that ten pounds of dirt to the sack was about the average, which at the selling price would make the consumer pay between sixty happened to meet a few days ago and got to talking about things in general and finally found themselves discussing the prospect of the trustee reducing the cost for electric lights and putting an extra tax upon the general public to pay for street lights. From the outset it may be stated that this is a debatable question. "Take John Cook, for instance," said one of the gentlemen. "He is one of the largest taxpayers on the outer edge of the city limits. Would it be right to tax him extra for funds to pay for the illumination of the business streets?" "And if there is a surplus of funds derived from consumers of light, which is in turn used for the betterment of the lighting equipment," averred another, "is not that a better plan than to raise the taxes for these improvements and scarcely intending home seekers," continued this gentleman. However, it is a fact that non-resident property owners, having gilt-edged holdings in the heart of town, which sad to relate, remains unimproved, pay nothing towards lighting up the streets, thereby gaining the benefit of having their vacant spaces lighted up while they sit serenely by and let the other fellow pay for it. The raising or lowering of the electric light rates is a technical and scientific problem and there are many citizens who believe the authorities should look well before they leap.

This is not by any means an exaggerated statement, for I was called upon recently at Fullerton to examine and weigh part of a shipment of potatoes received from a firm of Los Angeles wholesalers and found that ten pounds of dirt to the sack was about the average, which at the selling price would make the consumer pay between sixty and seventy cents for dirt, and while the average Fullertonian is willing to pay almost anything asked for real estate in that flourishing city, he prefers to purchase it by the front foot and not by the pound. "And there seems to be no way of redress, as the complaints of the retailer are met by the wholesaler with the statement that potatoes are so scarce and so hard to get in consequence that they are forced to accept them dirt and all or go without and if Mr. Retailer don't want to buy under those conditions he must simply do without. "And this condition is not singular to Fullerton, but is the case all over the county, the Fullerton case, however, being the most flagrant to come recently to the attention of my department. "This is what makes for high prices, for the retailer must charge enough to get out with some profit or else quit handling potatoes entirely and the consumer is therefore made the goat in the transaction." J. E. Pleasants of Silverado Canyon Orange county, bee inspector, was elected president of the State Beekeepers' Association at the annual Olinda Saturday night, which means that those attending are staid and proper members of society of the foothill regions and have been residing there for upwards of twenty-five years or more. These good people years ago formed a mutual social society and erected a dance hall and pavilion which is one of the best of its kind to be found hereabouts. Every now and then they assemble for a social dance and entertainment and each recurring event is always looked forward to with keen delight. Upon the latest occasion about fifty couples were present and all tripped the light fantastic toe until a late hour. These good people are not up on the fox-trot the one-step or any other of the new-fangled dance creations, but enjoyed the old-time quadrille, the waltz and the mazourka, and the excellent music was an incentive to make the joyous occasion pass all too quickly. It is said one of the old-timers never missed a dance, while another passed up only three, and judging from these performances there must have been few if any wall-flowers. A sumptuous repast was served during the evening and the affair was voted to be one of the most enjoyable of the season. The David Hewes ranch of 672 acres at El Modena, was sold last week to a syndicate headed by former United States Senator Flint, the consideration being one million dollars. This is the largest real estate transaction recorded in this county for many years The ranch is set principally to lemons and oranges, 425 acres being in lemons, 212 acres in valencias, and 15 acres in the Hewes park.

Increased Enrollment Necessitates Additional School Room.—District Divided into Four Precincts for the Election.—No Opposition to the Bonds. There is little doubt that the voters of Anaheim will poll a practically unanimous vote for the high school bonds on Saturday, March 6. More room is needed—in fact, it is an absolute necessity, as the rooms are already over crowded and many more names will be added to the roll at the beginning of next term. Estimates of the cost of the new buildings considered necessary by the trustees were recently made by Architect L.E. Walker and on GENEROUS RAINFALL THROUGHOUT SOUTHLAND Two and a Half Inch Precipitation Brings Joy to All the People. Prognostications of the official weather man, prophecies of the gink who draws inspiration from the moons, and predictions by the old timer who reads the future from a chart of the past, are all discredited in this region at the present time. These gents were agreed that the signs in the sky pointed to a continued dry spell, but somehow they all got their wires crossed, or they were double-crossed by the signs. At any rate their predictions came to naught, as clouds gathered in the southeastern sky Saturday afternoon, sauntered up over the city and began pouring their garnered fullness down. It rained steadily all of Saturday night, showered fitfully Sunday and Sunday night, kept up the good work Monday and Monday night, and blew away early Tuesday morning. The weather man, who began predicting rain Sunday morning, kept the prediction standing in the papers Tuesday morning, but the storm had passed over. According to the rain guages Ana- RECRUITING MEN FOR SERVICE IN ARMY CORPORAL CARROLL GATHERING IN A FEW BOYS WHO WANT TO JOIN THE COLORS. Better Pay Now Offered the Soldiers than Before the War, with Opportunities to Learn a Good Trade.—Many Will Serve in Foreign Lands. Recruiting for the United States army is rather an uphill job at the present time in comparison with what it was just before we broke into the European conflict when it was pretty certain that the men who joined the colors would be sent straight into the midst of the scrimmage, and in addition to seeing strange lands would be given an opportunity to spank your Uncle's Samuel's enemies. Corporal Carroll has been in Anaheim for the There is little doubt that the voters of Anaheim will poll a practically unanimous vote for the high school bonds on Saturday, March 6. More room is needed—in fact, it is an absolute necessity, as the rooms are already overrowded and many more names will be added to the roll at the beginning of next term. Estimates of the cost of the new buildings considered necessary by the trustees were recently made by Architect J. F. Walker, and on the strength of his report an election has been called for the purpose of raising $175,000 for new buildings, alterations in the old ones and furnishing. Saturday, March 6, is the date, and the district is divided into four precincts for the convenience of the voters. In the Anaheim precinct the polling place will be the high school building, the election officers being J. L. Van der Veer inspector, A. B. Markle and H. W. Comstock judges. In Loara precinct all the officers are ladies, Mrs. Ida Dutton being inspector, Mrs. Sadie J. Fishering and Mrs. Myrtle Ritchie judges. Polling place will be at Loara school house. Ladies will also have charge at the Magnolia school house, Mrs. Margaret Travers being inspector and Mrs. Ruth G. Hoskins and Mrs. Anna M. Rains judges. Wm. M. Chambers will act as inspector at Katella school house with J. W. Harpster and R. M. Fay as judges. The bonds to be voted are to be of the denomination of one thousand dollars each, bearing six per cent each. They will be payable at the rate of seven bonds per year over a period of twenty-five years. The original cost of the school group was $135,000. Other buildings have been added since, and the additional buildings should the bonds be voted, will bring the total cost to somewhere in the neighborhood of $350,000. When the contemplated buildings are completed we will have one of the most splendid high schools in the state. Congested conditions of the grammar schools made additional room necessary and bonds to the amount of $116,000 were recently voted for two new buildings. Both buildings are now in course of construction and will be completed in time for occupancy. It rained steadily all of Saturday night, showered fitfully Sunday and Sunday night, kept up the good work Monday and Monday night, and blew away early Tuesday morning. The weather man, who began predicting rain Sunday morning, kept the prediction standing in the papers Tuesday morning, but the storm had passed over. According to the rain guages Anaheim appeared to be the center of the storm, the heaviest precipitation being recorded here. There was a slight variation in the guages, but according to H. A. Dickel's record the total fall was 2.42, making 9.42 for the season. Last year at this date the record was only 6.52. Up to noon Sunday the fall was 1.48, at 7 o'clock Monday morning it was 2.42. All points in the north end of the county show the fall about the same as at Anaheim, but in the south it fell far short, Santa Ana reporting only about an inch and a half. The rain came at a time when it was badly needed, and will stimulate all lines of business. The predictions of the pessimists that this was to be a dry season have been knocked into a cocked hat. Three inches more will give us a normal fall. Last year good rains fell after this date, while the year previously more than twelve inches fell during February and March, nearly six and a half inches falling in March. ORGANIZE COUNTY UNIT LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Mrs. Lawton, State President, Announces Chairmen of Women's Organizations. At an important meeting held at Santa Ana, Friday afternoon, Feb. 6th, Mrs. A. J. Lawton, State President of the Women's Legislative Council, organized Orange county unit, by selecting the county chairman and five subchairmen, who constitute the executive committee. County chairman, Mrs. Victor Montgomery, Santa Ana. Temporary secretary, Mrs. T. E. Stephenson, Santa Ana. Standing committees: Speakers (to be filled later); publicity, Mrs. E.

Corporal Carroll has been in Anaheim for the past ten days and will remain the balance of this week enlisting men for the army, and while he reports some success, declares that men are slower to join now than they were before the war, because young Americans cannot conceive of hair-raising adventures in the life of a soldier in time of peace. But extraordinary inducements and opportunities are offered the boys now and when his four years' time is up if he wants to retire from the army he comes out in much better condition than when he enlisted. In addition to good pay he is now given an opportunity to learn a trade and also to travel and seek adventures in foreign lands. Speaking of this, Corporal Carroll said: "If you have the desire to travel but not the means, the army offers the solution. It has been stated that the sun never sets on the United States army. Troops are stationed along the Mexican border and in many other parts of the Continental United States, in Panama and Alaska, in Hawaii and Siberia, in the Philippines and France, in China and Germany. Sometimes enlistments are open for direct assignment to one of these places. Suppose you enlist in the East for the Philippines, you will be sent to San Francisco, going through many large cities, including probably Chicago or St. Louis en route. At San Francisco you take a steamer which stops at Honolulu, Guam, and possibly other places. You see many interesting sights, strange people, queer customs. You come in contact with the habits, methods of life, and characteristics of other nations and peoples. Travel in itself is an education. "It is the endeavor of the army to turn a man back into civil life after his enlistment a better and more efficient citizen." Following this principle USE CARE IN SELECTING ORCHARD FERTILIZER Eastside Rancher Sounds Warning Against Use of Some So-called Commercial Brands. A well-known East Anaheim orange grower sounds a timely warning to all those who use fertilizer, and cautions them against the use of certain brands of so-called commercial products. He cites some cases that have come under his observation wherein the land has been literally baked from the use of these injurious brands. Soils thus treated are virtually ruined and it takes years of careful nursing to bring them to anywhere near their original loamy texture. Orange growers cannot be too careful in applying foreign substances to their soils and should exercise diligent care in selecting the right kind of fertilizer. The East Anaheim uses none but the best natural materials and is quoted as saying that he would bring a damage suit against anyone who would dare put upon his land some of these so-called commercial brands. Mrs. A. J. Lawton, State President of the Women's Legislative Council, organized Orange county unit, by selecting the county chairman and five subchairmen, who constitute the executive committee.

Fuller, Fullerton; finance, Dr. Mary E. Wright, Santa Ana; membership, Mrs. I. D. Mills, Orange; literature, Mrs. T. E. Stephenson, Santa Ana. This committee will carry out the work of the county under the supervision of fthe State executive board; will call and supervise conferences and special meetings to further the work of the Women's Legislative Council. The voting body of the county will consist of the presidents and delegates of all affiliated organizations residing in the county. All affiliated women's organizations are requested to shape their proposed subjects for future legislation to be presented at the March meeting and forward the same to the State corresponding secretary, Mrs. H. N. Herrick, 2110 Nineteenth Street, Bakersfield, by March 15th. Meeting of the executive board of Orange county unit will be held on the second Friday afternoon of each month at 2:30. George Mattis went to San Bernardino on Tuesday morning to visit in that city several days. He will attend the orange show.

Travel in itself is an education. "It is the endeavor of the army to turn a man back into civil life after his enlistment a better and more efficient citizen. Following this principle many branches of the service have already established schools where many trades are taught. An appropriation of $20,000,000 was made by Congress for vocational training during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920. The necessary tools, apparatus, machinery, and supplies have been placed at each divisional camp and training center of the line and in each territorial department. A complete reference library has been provided at the divisional camps and other places for the use of students. The soldier's day is specifically allotted so that ample time is afforded for study. The courses which have been established or are planned cover many fields, including automotive department, electrical department, building department, textile department, food department, animal transportation, metal department, printing department, medical department; highway construction and topography, power department, music department, leather department, machine department, miscellaneous department, business department, agriculture." Speaking of the pay he said: "It is what you have at the end of the month not what you get in the pay envelope that counts. Pay in the army ranges ZETTE 20 Number 15 TING MEN SERVICE ARMY ROLL GATHERING BOYS WHO WANT TO DOLORS. from $30 to $121.50 per month on first enlistment with increases for re-enlistment and extra pay for many special ratings and certain foreign service. In addition every man receives all essentials free. The pay is all profit, to be spent for tuxuries or saved. Corporal Carroll served in France during the war and remained with the army at the close. He will be glad to enlighten all enquiring young minds relative to army life. ORANGE COUNTY WOMEN SERVING ON JURY Five Ladies Called Into the Box in Superior Court.

WINS INSTANT FAVOR "The All Feature Car," the Case automobile, has like its brother the case tractor, won instant favor with the ranchers of Orange county," says H. C. Seymour, distributor, 31, East Center street, Anaheim. "Within ten days of our first shipment of Case automobiles we have sold two carloads and are pleased to say that we can make immediate deliveries for the present, having unloaded another carload today and two more rolling. "My experience of the past ten years with ranchers, has taught me that they are discriminating buyers and are quick to appreciate and buy quality machinery." The Case automobile and tractor are surely a 'Sign of the Times' for the rancher. For 77 years Case has made nothing but machinery for the farmer, and our slogan is: "The Sign of Mechanical Excellence the World Over," is preeminent in our products.

For 77 years Case has made nothing but machinery for the farmer, and our slogan is: "The Sign of Mechanical Excellence the World Over," is pre-eminent in our products. "Case tractors were delivered last week to W. L. Hale, Fullerton; Ed. Beazley, Placentia; Jas. I. Raitt, Santa Ana; and Case automobiles to Geo. Betzsold, Anaheim; John Cassou, Anaheim and Chas. Lange, Anaheim. "There is no new or modern feature in the automobile world contained in any car that is not embodied in the 'All Feature Case 6.'" Considerable stir was created at Placentia by the report that Miss Nettie Mozier had disappeared. She was expected to arrive in Los Angeles from Fresno to visit an uncle and did not appear when expected. A brief search located her sick in a hotel in Los Angeles. She was ill upon her arrival and having lost her uncle's address went to a hotel. Her uncle took her to his home. The community was shocked to hear of her death, Thursday, which occurred at four o'clock that morning in Los Angeles, influenza being responsible for her untimely end. Miss Mozier was a quiet, modest girl, of a retiring but friendly nature. For about two years she was employed in the local telephone office, where she was always faithful and attentive to her duties. She had many friends in Placentia who are deeply grieved at her untimely death. Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Kluewer went down to Murietta Springs Monday and will spend a few days at that resort. Baseball was paralyzed by the rain last Sunday, both the Tigers and the Cubs being prevented from playing. The "Honky-Tonks," that aggregation of big leaguers, were to have been here to get a few pointers from Riley's Tigers, while Berger's Cubs had scheduled a game at Arcadia. The Honky-Tonks are on ice, however, and will be here Sunday. Rieger of Seattle and Piercy of the New York Yanks will pitch for them, while Lefty Thomas of Seattle or Slim Love of the Detroitts will be on the mound for Anaheim. Speaking of the probability of orange land reaching $10,000 per acre, Chilly Fisher, who is now in the real estate business, said yesterday: "There can be no doubt that in a very short time $10,000 an acre will not be considered an exorbitant price for good property. In fact I know one man who recently refused $60,000 for a six acre grove. The trees in this grove are exceptionally large, and the income from them more than justifies the price. No investment a man could make would yield him a bigger income on his capital than an orange orchard."
