JOE LAUTENBACH Corner Center and Lemon Anaheim, California FILE SUIT TO RECOVER VAST LANDED ESTATE De la Guerra Heirs Claim Title to 200,000 Acres in Ventura. Two hundred thousand of the richest acres in Ventura county on which are several towns and many churches, schools, beautiful country homes and farms, not to mention miles of concrete roads, are to be the stake in a suit soon to be filed at Ventura in the interests of the De la Guerra heirs, descendants of Jose de la Guerra Noriega, to whom a veritable principality was granted in Spanish days. Until the '60's, the De la Guerra family was one of the most powerful of the great Spanish-American clans in California. The loss of the immense estate in Ventura county has always been considered by the De la Guerras a matter of questionable proceedings, but not until the present have the heirs been able to settle mutual disagreements and to decide on a course of procedure to regain their lost inheritance. Thirteen claimants are to be the plaintiffs in the forthcoming suit. They will be represented by Sullivan, Sullivan and Roche of San Francisco, the attorneys who after a sensational trial broke the will of the late Mrs. Nancy A. D. Taylor of Ventura county, some years ago. The land in question comprises the Simi, the Conejo and Las Posas ranches. The Conejo ranch was a Spanish grant made October 12, 1822, to Jose de la Guerra Noriega by Governor Sola. The other two big ranches were acquired later by the De la Guerra family. The prosperity of the De la Guerras continued until 1864, which was a year of great drought and of hardship for the increased price of food figures largely in depletion of the pay envelope. The industrial worker, the professional man, the office and store clerks have, too many of them, dismissed immediately the one solution of this food cost difficulty—to go out and raise the food themselves. In those parts of the United States where the growing season is extremely short, there is some excuse for this attitude on the part of the consumer of food. But in a country where garden vegetables can be raised every month in the year, as in parts of California and adjoining states, it does seem that the man who has a vacant space of ground that he can work is at least short-sighted if he does not put it into good food plants this spring. A city lot garden means fresh, succulent vegetables for the table continuously, with a little surplus left over sometimes to exchange at the neighborhood grocery for sugar, coffee and bacon. But in favorable parts of Southern California an acre of ground planted to vegetables and fruits and supporting a few pens of rabbits and hens and a couple of milk goats will support an entire family the year around. It has been done in hundreds of instances and is being done right now. A suburban home with an acre of ground which will produce not only enough food for a good-sized family, but enough surplus to pay the rent or interest charges and buy food such as coffee, tea, sugar, spices, etc., is a fort against advancing prices; a citadel wherein happy people look out complacently on the struggle for existence.

The Conejo ranch was a Spanish grant made October 12, 1822, to Jose de la Guerra Noriega by Governor Sola. The other two big ranches were acquired later by the De la Guerra family. The prosperity of the De la Guerras continued until 1864, which was a year of great drought and of hardship for cattle owners. The De la Guerras as a result suffered severe financial reverses and began to lose their hold on their lands. Thomas Scott of Pennsylvania, the railroad magnate, was at the time buying all the Ventura lands he could get at low figures. De la Guerra property was included in his purchases. Later, a considerable part of this property passed into the hands of the late Thomas R. Bard, at one time United States Senator for California. Now the lands are held by scores of later purchasers. It is asserted that these land transactions were so casual that many legal discrepancies were involved, to say nothing of the fact that the lands were picked up by the Pennsylvanian at a tithe of their real value, because of the vicissitudes stockmen suffered during the year 1864. These allegations, it is understood, are the principal grounds on which the De la Guerra heirs will base their suit. GETTING GOOD LIVING FROM ACRE OF GROUND Many Families Exist on the Products from a Garden Spot. Many of our modern economic illis are due to mounting living costs, and enough food for a good-sized family, but enough surplus to pay the rent or interest charges and buy food such as coffee, tea, sugar, spices, etc., is a fort against advancing prices; a citadel wherein happy people look out complacently on the struggle for existence. This acre home-place has a dozen fruit trees, oranges, lemons, apples, apricots, pears, peaches, an avocado and perhaps a Hachiya persimon. There is a patch of strawberries in the rear. There is a hedge composed of loganberries and mammoth blackberries with maybe a feijoa or two. Along one stretch of fence is planted two or three chayotes, one of the most prolific food plants known. Provision is made for green feed for the goats, hens and rabbits. A patch of alfalfa thirty feet square is started, barley being planted with it as a nurse crop and to increase the fodder value. Then barley is grown in spaces vacated by the harvesting of other crops, barley to be cut while green. A patch of Egyptian corn or Milo maize forty feet square furnishes all the feed the fifteen fowls will need the year round. In this acre garden attention must be paid to the market requirements of vegetables, for it is possible to sell a goodly portion of the crop in a little stand in front of the house presided over by the younger members of the family. Therefore, larger spaces are given over to the production of tomatoes, snap beans, cucumbers, tiptop melons, pole lima beans, sweet corn, the most important of all, summer squash, carrots, peas, and cabbage. A tempting array of fresh sweet corn, snap beans, peas and tomatoes fresh from the field will attract passing motorists who will gladly pay the full market price for them. Recent rains have ground. Get a mans and a plow and let that vacant lot off the back yard. And do it yourself that the ground is lately for the garment the ground is plow least eight inches placing green vegetation of any kind manure is best, but droppings do very well.

No sooner is one row of vegetables than the bed is immediately releveled and planted to another crop. Some of the vegetables produce crops in seven or eight weeks and three and sometimes four crops can readily be grown in favorable Southern California localities on the same ground. Other crops which the acre gardener must not forget, chiefly for home and neighborhood use, are table beets, cauliflower, celery, egg plant, kale, chard, lettuce, watermelons, onions, parsley, parsnip, radish, spinach, winter squash, turnip, kohlrabi and asparagus. A review of the large home gardens during the war made by A. C. True of the United States Department of Agriculture, and published later, showed that the average value of the produce raised in gardens ranging from 7800 square feet to an acre in extent was $493 to $1194.98, the latter figure being for acre gardens in California. The net return from the first sized gardens was $416, and from the acre garden the average net return was $1067.22. Some vegetable gardeners claimed to have raised $2000 worth of produce on one acre last year in the vicinity of Los Angeles without the aid of fruit trees, berries or small live stock or poultry. With the help of the latter a family of five giving real attention to the business in hand can find a comfortable existence without moving off the place. By careful computation it has been found that the yield of certain vegetables per 100 feet of row in the Say! Listen! The boosters in some towns round about and up in the other valley have taken to advertising their sections as being the best ever. Intending purchasers had better dig down and examine some of these soils before buying. Better be safe than sorry. If anybody should ask you, just break the news to him gently and tell him that time worn piece of hardware known as the hatchet has been buried in this balliwick. Time was when the implement was wielded with great force by warring factions, but that time now ain't. There are several very important matters up for solution by the citizens and taxpayers of this city and the word has been wirelessed down the line that harmony is the password. Two balky horses, or each equine pulling in opposite directions never get anywhere, and the only thing they do is to kick up a muss. The dove of peace has found a safe landing place here and from all accounts it is not going to be disturbed. But if it should come to pass that anyone feels as though he has got another kick in him, that person had better exercise due diligence and repair to the seclusion of the wood-shed to unlung, and then he is liable to be detected because the board of trade has a listening committee who are on the job every day in the week including Sunday. Any- produce on one acre last year in the vicinity of Los Angeles without the aid of fruit trees, berries or small live stock or poultry. With the help of the latter a family of five giving real attention to the business in hand can find a comfortable existence without moving off the place. By careful computation it has been found that the yield of certain vegetables per 100 feet of row in the Southwest is as follows: Asparagus, 50 bunches; snap beans, 90 pounds; lima beans (averaging the mammoth and bush varieties) 110 pounds; beets, 12 bunches of greens and 35 bunches of beets; cabbage, 40 heads; carrots, 45 bunches; cauliflower, 25 heads; kohl-rabbit, 35 bunches; sweet corn, 50 to 75 ears; cucumbers, 85 pounds; eggplant, 75 fruits; 60 to 100 heads; melons, 60 to 80; watermelons, 18 to 22; okra, 90 pounds; onions, 45 pounds; parsnips, 120 pounds; peas in pod, 40 pounds; peppers, 130 pounds; Irish potatoes, 45 pounds; sweet potatoes, 60 pounds; spinach, 125 pounds; summer squash, 50 fruits; winter squash, 25 squashes; tomatoes, 160 pounds; turnips, 40 bunches. The prices of farm produce are approximately 4 per cent higher this February than they were last February and they are still going up. Computing the foregoing production of one crop out of three or four from 100 feet of row some idea will be given as to the total income from the common vegetables. Then the berries, chayotes, fruits, rabbit meat, eggs and the sale of surplus goats' milk will further augment the family coffers. At no time in the history of this nation has individual effort along this line been so valuabe. "Help yourself" will yet be a solution of the civicills that beset the world. Get a vacant lot or an acre and commence now! Recent rains have softened up the ground. Get a man who has a horse and a plow and hire him to plow up that vacant lot or that acre, or even the back yard. Or buy a hand hoe and do it yourself. It is important that the ground be prepared immediately for the garden. Be sure that the ground is plowed to a depth of at a safe landing place here and from accounts it is not going to be disturbed.

Anyone showing signs of discontent will be given the ouce ober and it is whispered the boosters of the civic organization have given it out that all knockers look alike to them, and when it comes to an acid test they are as cruel and relentless as a rider of the border range. Boiling in oil for first offense has been prescribed as an antidote for the guilty one with a grouch and the good Lord only knows what will happen to mossbacks of ancient vintage. Really there is nothing now to kick about and as this city has the best climate, best lot of citizens and best looking women, there is no reason on earth why Anaheim should not boast of at least 20,000 by the time Uncle Sam takes the next census. Every so often a person appears in public and makes the assertion that whenever he goes to the Chamber of Commerce rooms in Los Angeles he finds literature on display concerning almost every town roundabout except Anaheim. As this city is advancing fast, and as printer's ink has great pulling powers, it gives one thrills to anticipate what would happen to this city if a goodly supply of real facts concerning Anaheim were turned loose. Police officers complain about the apparent miscarriage of justice that occurs quite frequently when lawbreakers escape just punishment through the craftiness of criminal lawyers who are able to throw a monkey wrench into the judicial cogwheels and free their clients through an alibi.

Center BUDGET MEASURE READY FOR SENATE Senator McCormick, chairman of the special budget committee, announces that a budget measure has been agreed to unanimously, and that the Senate will be asked to take up the matter at an early date. The bill is said to be a combination of measures introduced by Senator McCormick and Congressman Good of Iowa. It creates a budget bureau in the Treasury Department and directs every bureau or department of the government to appoint a budget officer to revise the estimates of his branch of the service. The budget bureau will revise, co-ordinate, and make necessary changes in the estimates, and after they have been passed upon by the Secretary of Treasury, and the President they will be forwarded to Congress, together with a complete statement of the financial standing of the government. The bill also creates a separate accounting department to review the expenditures of the various departments.

Get a man who has a horse and a plow and hire him to plow up that vacant lot or that acre, or even the back yard. Or buy a hand hoe and do it yourself. It is important that the ground be prepared immediately for the garden. Be sure that the ground is plowed to a depth of at least eight inches before you begin placing green vegetable matter or manure of any kind on the plot. Stable manure is best, but chicken or rabbit droppings do very well, used sparingly. But plow up that vacant space now! Marshal Wood is frequently asked by men to give them a place to sleep in the city jail. There are a number of good bunks in the place, and while there are plenty of spare beds the Marshal always accommodates those who apply for a night's lodging. Many times there is not a room elsewhere to be had, and Hotel de Wood is gaining in popularity. Recently a man drove up in a fine looking automobile and took a room with southern exposure, saying he had to remain in town on business and just could not find accommodations elsewhere.

Some staid and proper members of society a few nights ago went to a movie show, taking seats in the last row. Presently in came a young gent with his best girl, they sitting just in front of them. Of course, when a show is on the lights are almost out, and sometimes they are all out. The young couple evidently were lovers, or very dear friends, as it is reported their little heads were constantly together and not to be outdone by the screen stars indulged in fond embraces and many kisses. From the way they carried on the lovers must have thought they were the only ones in the building, and it's a safe bet they didn't care for anyone but themselves.
