UNIFORMITY DEMANDED IN PLANTING TREES State Board of Forestry Controls Work of Beautifying Highways That uniformity in tree plantings along the state highway may exist and in order that the best trees may be selected for each locality, an agreement to investigate each request for a tree planting permit has been arranged between the California state board of forestry and the highway commission. The cooperation became necessary as the result of a number of requests for permission to plant. Women's clubs and chambers of commerce have taken a lead in tree planting in order to beautify approaches to towns and cities. The first permit to be issued following the agreement was issued to the Woman's club of Lodi. The state board of forestry determined oriental plane trees to be the best trees for the stretch of highway to be planted and gave instructions for their planting. The permit requires that trees are to be planted immediately on their arrival from the nursery in holes three feet in diameter and two and one half feet deep. Each tree will be supported by a redwood or cedar stake 2x2 inches by 10 feet, common grade, set two feet in the ground. Each tree must be tied to the stake with manila twine three and six feet from the ground. The trees are to be planted alternately on both sides of the highway and will be 100 feet apart except where it is necessary to modify the distance to avoid placing a tree near a pole. No trees will be planted closer than ten feet to a pole. The WAR PLANES COMING TO ORANGE COUNTY Field Will be Established at Newport Heights In May A dozen for more United States navy airplanes are coming to Orange county and will make their home at Newport heights, within a short distance of Orange county's harbor, during the battle maneuveres of the Pacific fleet off the Orange county coast in May, it was definitely announced recently, following receipt of word that the navy department, through Admiral Rodman had accepted a site on the heights for a temporary aviation camp and landing field. This acceptance means, it is said, that twelve or fourteen planes will be stationed at the local field during the battle practice of the Pacific fleet, with daily flights during the maneuvers, and the presence there of a camp for mechanics, and all equipment necessary to keep the planes in shape. While the site is as yet only a temporary one, efforts are now under way to have it accepted by the government as a permanent aviation field. The site accepted by the government as a temporary home for its airplanes, consists of some twenty odd acres, owned by Stephen Townsend of Long Beach, and located just west of the Newport boulevard. The word received at Newport beach calls for the field to be in readiness within two weeks. The heights site, it is declared, is ideally located for a permanent aviation field, and the efforts to have it accepted as such by the government are backed by Townsend. The field is directly on the line of flight of ma- Say! A peculiar brought forth a stranger Monday evening when the new board came to law all the night was to choose a pro-adjourn.

The trees are to be planted alternately on both sides of the highway and will be 100 feet apart except where it is necessary to modify the distance to avoid placing a tree near a pole. No trees will be planted closer than ten feet to a pole. The exact location for tree planting will be given by the highway commission, and after the trees are planted they will be cared for by the commission. As a result of the agreement between the two state departments, California's highways should in a few years be lined with beautiful trees, planted uniformly, and not in a hit and miss manner. Organizations wishing to plant trees along the state highway can secure information as to how to proceed by addressing the California state board of forestry or the highway commission. FOSSIL FISHES Sixty hitherto unknown species of fossil fishes of the Miocene age that lived in bays which in prehistoric times covered the land now included in Los Angeles, Orange and Santa Barbara counties, have been added to the scientific world through the recent efforts of Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor emeritus of Stanford university. Stanford collection of fossil fishes of this age is now larger than that of all institutions put together, numbering about four hundred. These fishes probably lived 2,000,000 years B. C., long before the glacial area and many hundred thousand years before the advent of man, Dr. Jordan claims. Some of the fossil fishes that were studied by Dr. Jordan came from El Modena in Orange county. Some of them were unearthed a number of years ago during excavations at El Modena, and were sent to Stanford university at that time. DON'T FORGET THE CHAYOTE One of the most picturesque and withal one of the most useful garden plants grown in Southern California, Mexico and other countries is the acres, owned by Stephen Townsend of Long Beach, and located just west of the Newport boulevard. The word received at Newport beach calls for the field to be in readiness within two weeks. The heights site, it is declared, is ideally located for a permanent aviation field, and the efforts to have it accepted as such by the government are backed by Townsend. The field is directly on the line of flight of machines flying either up or down the coast. United States mail planes pass up and down the coast each day and in case of trouble, such as was experienced by one plane recently, they could land on Newport bay, in still water, and quickly obtain the necessary aid from the heights field, less than a mile distant. The site was inspected a fortnight ago by navy officers, and Admiral Rodman's approval, received was based on their recommendations as to its desirability for use during the May maneuvers. ORANGE COUNTY ELKS TO MANAGE DRIVE Take Charge of Salvation Army Campaign for Funds The two Elks lodges in Orange county are to conduct the drive in the county for Salvation army funds, May 10 to 20. The Orange County Salvation Army Advisory Board last week set $10,500 as the amount that should be raised this year, $6,000 of it to go to the support of rescue, industrial and orphan homes in California, $1550 for helping the local work and $3,000 to pay off the debt on the Sycamore street lot owned by the Salvation Army. Last year's drive for the Salvation Army was handled efficiently and successfully by the Elks. The advisory board met the Elks to undertake the drive again this year. W. C. Jerome and J. G. Mitchell of Santa Ana and H. E. W. Barnes, Jr., of Anaheim were appointed by the advisory board to present the request of the advisory board to the Elks. Thursday afternoon a meeting of the advisory board was held, and at that meeting the committee reported that both the Elks lodges, one in Santa Ana and one in Anaheim, had voted unanimously in favor of public oath that his paper places and also wakes up states, max another over... DON'T FORGET THE CHAYOTE One of the most picturesque and withal one of the most useful garden plants grown in Southern California, Mexico and other countries is the chayote, imported from Mexico several years ago. The chayote is no longer in its test period. It is now an article of commerce, and hundreds of boxes are sold on the local markets each week in the season. It is more than a squash. Many families use them as a substitute for fried potatoes and find them excellent in that service. The chayotes grow on a rampant growing vine, which produces from 50 to 150 fruits the first season, and twice or three times as many as that the second season. If the frost kills the vine, it promptly comes up again without replanting the following spring. One chayote plant is enough to start into the chayote-growing business. Get one and plant it with the small end protruding from the ground about three-quarters of an inch. The chayote should be planted near a fence or trellis. Vines have been known to extend forty or fifty feet, even in a single season. The business of the vegetable is to make vine until early September, when very modest yellow flowers appear, and in a month the fruits begin to show. There are many ways of using chayotes, boiled, fruit, made into salad, baked, etc. The support of President Wilson for a third term nomination seems to be almost unanimous—among republicans. The recent attempt to shut off the water in the Heffern well above the 3,000-foot level was not a success. The formation at this point is unfavorable for cementing and, as has been said before, it took from September until April to shut off the water in the Chapman well at about the same level but the attempt was finally successful. The attempt to shut off the water in the Heffern well will be continued and the directors have issued the following statement to the stockholders: "It has been decided to shoot the 6-inch pipe off at 2700 feet and proceed drilling with Standard tools side-tracking the 6-inch pipe which will be left in the well, to the depth of 2,980 feet when they will again cement, endeavoring to shut off the water." ANAHEIM GAZETTE Say! Listen! A peculiar twist in the law brought forth a strange state of affairs Monday evening when the old board of trustees went out of existence and the new board came in. According to the law all the new board could do was to choose a presiding officer and adjourn. Three days intervene from that time until tonight (Thursday) when the council takes hold of the reins of government. Techincally, during this interim of three days the city had no governing body. But nothing went wrong and the goose hangs high. A relative of a lost aged man went to a clairvoyant for guidance in his endeavor to find his kin, and was told by the seer that the wanderer was happy and would be found between this city and Los Angeles, and do you believe it, the old gent was found at San Pedro; but he wasn't happy. Wonderful! Report has it that a well-known southwest property owner was in town a few days ago hobnobbing with a group of citizens anent the outfall sewerage proposition. But nothing definite for publication was given out. A few nights ago a siren blew, continued blowing and sounded as though it would never stop. People who hit the hay early were awakened and wondered what it was all about. After deligent inquiry nobody could solve the puzzle. An arrest has been made here of houses for rent should be erected by the Japanese. "In five or six years the rent paid by Japanese tenants would readily suffice to build such houses as those they occupy. We must adopt some plan for the erection and purchase of residences. We must organize some sort of company and secure the aid of the bank for selecting suitable localities and building apartments or houses. Then, instead of paying high rents, the money would be paid to the company or the bank. "People who bought houses four or five years ago have ceased paying rent, and today they are undisturbed by advancing rents, etc., etc." In urging the Japanese to buy residence property the Nipponese newspaper runs counter to the opinion recently rendered by Attorney General Webb that the ownership of residence property in California by Japanese is illegal under the existing treaty. IN THE RING According to the lineup for Thursday evening's boxing program at the Grand, in Santa Ana, C. I McCoy and C. G. Wilford are putting on their banner card. In the double main event "Jap" Romero of Tia Juana, who has two decisions over "One Round" Norman of Texas, will take a four-round shot at "Battling Nick" of San Diego, who won a four-round decision over Norman here this week. These boys have met before at Jack Keran's Dreamland arena at San Diego, and from all reports, the crowd was in a frenzy from start to finish. In the other half of the double main event, "Red" Matthews of Anaheim, who is rounding into the best con- "It is important, therefore, that holders of Four Per cent bonds of the First and Second Liberty loans present their bonds for conversion and exchange into Four and One-fourth Per Cent bonds May 1 or immediately thereafter. This will enable you to forward such bonds to reach San Francisco on or before June 14 and May 14, respectively. If Four Per Cent bonds of the First and Second Liberty loans are received on and after June 15 and May 15, respectively, they will be converted into bonds bearing 41-4 per cent interest commencing on December 15 and November 15, 1920, respectively. "We have now a sufficient stock of Third Liberty loan Four and One-quarter bonds for exchange purposes, but as previously advised there has been a delay in the engraving and printing of First and Second Liberty loan Four and One-quarter Per Cent Permanent Coupon bonds at Washington, with the consequent result that we may be unable to fill your orders in full for shipments of these two issues. It must be borne in mind, therefore, that when Temporary Coupon bonds are forwarded to the Federal Reserve bank in San Francisco as fiscal agent of the United States, for exchange or conversion, they will be cancelled immediately, and deliveries of Permanent Coupon bonds will be made when and as stocks are received from Washington. It is hoped that Permanent bonds of all issues will be received in sufficient quantities at an sewerage proposition. But nothing definite for publication was given out. A few nights ago a siren blew, continued blowing and sounded as though it would never stop. People who hit the hay early were awakened and wondered what it was all about. After deligent inquiry nobody could solve the puzzle. An arrest has been made here wherein it was charged a proprietor of a pool hall permitted minors to enter his place of business. And there may be others. One candidate for trustee who failed to get under the wire at the recent municipal free-for-all, says he knows of 22 city employees who did not vote for him. Howzat? A well-known film star lost $1000 worth of jewels from her stocking while at Santa Ana a few evenings ago. This young lady should pay more attention to her knitting. A young gent here who is quite a swell has more than one girl, and it being leap year, and he having said his birthday was going to occur one day next week, one of the confident maidens says she is going to try and keep a watch on him. Two bad smash ups occurred Sunday, but no casualties resulted. Give your brakes the once over. The speed cop has staked out several traps. Look out for the blue smoke. Overalls clubs are becoming the fashion. Brush up your jeans! Once a publisher with brotherly affection accused a rival of having one subscriber when the other fellow came back, saying his competitor had only two. Another time a printerman chattered that his paper was going all over the county, and up piped another declaring his, besides going all over the county, went all over the state, while still another ambitious molder of public opinion took solemn oath that his paper was going to these places and also was going to many and sundry states, and to cap the cli- two decisions over "One Round" Norman of Texas, will take a four-round shot at "Battling Nick" of San Diego, who won a four-round decision over Norman here this week. These boys have met before at Jack Keran's Dreamland arena at San Diego, and from all reports, the crowd was in a frenzy from start to finish. In the other half of the double main event, "Red" Matthews of Anaheim, who is rounding into the best condition of his career, will take on Johnny Leach of Vernon. In Leach, Red will meet an aggressive mixer, who is boring in at all times. In the semi-windup, a return match between "K. O.' Swall of Santa Ana, and "Kid' Lewis of Vernon, has been arranged. These two huskies furnished a real thrill in their bout on April 1, and the fans are on edge for the return bout. Swall has been putting in some steady time at training and will be in better condition than when he met Lewis before. A good four-round preliminary has been arranged between Cook O'Campo of March Field, and Earl Alling of Anaheim. Young O'Campo is a brother to Frank O'Campo, local veteran of the ring, and his many friends are anxious to see him start, while Earl has an admiring bunch of friends eager to see him in action. McCoy reports the class under the direction of Paddy Dillon to be progressing nicely, with lots of timber for a snappy curtain raiser as well as an extra bout in sight tonight. The marked interest in tonight's bouts is shown by the big advance sale of seats already on. It is predicted that all ringside seats will be sold out long before Thursday. Can Now Convert Your Liberty Bonds Old Four Per Cents Can Be Exchanged for Later Issues Those who hold four per cent bonds of the First and Second Liberty loans should present those bonds to their banks very soon in order that they may be exchanged for four and a quarter per cent bonds. Those who hold temporary coupon bonds of the Third Liberty loan should also convert those bonds into permanent coupon bonds. First Liberty fours must be presented not later than June 15 and Second JAPANESE SCHEME TO ACQUIRE REALTY Nipponese Paper Advises Orientals to Secure Homes The resolute policy of the Japanese to secure such land in the state as is possible, notwithstanding the law, receives striking exemplification in an editorial of the New World, a Japanese newspaper of San Francisco, on "The House Rent Question." In the editorial, translated for the California Oriental Exclusion league, the suggestion is made that through the Japanese association a method be adopted, under which Japanese now renting in cities shall be assisted to become owners and thereby save money and promote the community idea. A portion of the editorial in question follows: "An organization like the Japanese association is necessary in dealing with such questions. For many years we have adyocated as a solution of the rent question this matter of Japanese ownership of residential property. Those who are able to buy dwellings for themselves should buy. And, in general, apartment houses and rows of those who hold four per cent bonds of the First and Second Liberty loans should present those bonds to their banks very soon in order that they may be exchanged for four and a quarter per cent bonds. Those who hold temporary coupon bonds of the Third Liberty loan should also convert those bonds into permanent coupon bonds. First Liberty fours must be presented not later than June 15 and Second Liberty fours not later than May 15, or the owner of the bonds will lose six months interest. At least, that is the construction put upon the instructions sent out by the government. Those bonds must be presented for conversion now, or the bonds issued in their stead later will have to bear dates six months later. All banks have received the following notice from the Federal Reserve bank in San Francisco: "Although we are not prepared at the present time to conduct exchanges of Temporary Coupon bonds of all issues for Permanent coupon bonds, we have determined to commence exchange operations on May 1, 1920. This course has been made necessary due to the fact that holders of Four Per Cent bonds of the First and Second Liberty loans must present such Four Per Cent bonds for conversion prior to June 15 and May 15, respectively, in order to receive the benefit of the increased rate commencing on those dates."

COW JUDGING AT DAIRY MEET How to pick a milker will be shown by actual demonstration at the farm bureau dairymen's meeting Monday, May 3, at Raitt's dairy, on South Bristol street. Dean H. E. Van Norman, a dairy expert of national renown, will explain and point out the various characteristics of good producing and poor producing cows. Both types will be on hand for inspection. Cows which have proven good producers by the Babcock test will be shown and also the opposite type. G. M. Brown, manager of the Burr Creamery company, Los Angeles, is to be one of the speakers. He will discuss the value of pure bred sires in the development of the dairy industry. Sam Greene, manager of the California Dairy Council, who is in close entire state will explain some of the touch with the dairy industry of the recent controversies of the California Milk Producers. On Tuesday, May 4, at 2 p.m., a second session of the meeting will be held at the farm advisor's office for the purpose of organizing a permanent dairy department of the farm bureau. A committee of dairymen have been at work the last month preparing a constitution and set of by-laws for this organization. It will be submitted for approval. The farm bureau is now engaged in a campaign of improving the herds of the county by the introduction of pure bred stock, and the employment of a cow tester. All dairymen are invited to both of these meetings on May 3 and 4. Tractors for Rent We furnish the tractor and tools, you do your own driving. Cleveland and Fagols for orchard work.

ORANGE COUNTY DISTRIBUTORS MITCHELL and JORDAN Automobiles and ALL-WORK Tractors Corner Olive and Center Streets Phone 511-W Anaheim, California HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT Is Hoover an American? He has always been intensely American, and although his work has kept him in foreign countries much of his time—chiefly in England—he has always maintained a residence and citizenship in the United States. And Hoover was sufficiently AMERICAN to decline a peerage proffered him by England in exchange for his citizenship. His children have been educated by American tutors, and Mr. Hoover is now a trustee of one of America's greatest institutions of learning—Stanford University. Those who now question Hoover's Americanism are simply seeking in their desparation for something with which to discredit a man whom the people are forcing into an office he does not seek. Those who now question Hoover's Americanism are simply seeking in their desparation for something with which to discredit a man whom the people are forcing into an office he does not seek. Is Hoover a Republican? He has always registered as a Republican, and for years, during his absence has maintained his membership in the New York Republican Club. There is no record of his ever having left the party—which, unfortunately is not true of his chief opponent in California. To question the party regularity of Mr. Hoover—or anyone else—comes with poor grace from the supporters of Senator Johnson...
