Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER FARM BUREAU NEWS By County Farm Advisor July 8—Harper Club Day Harper club members and their pigs will celebrate the finish of the pig growing contest on July 8 at the Harper school grounds. This will mark the close of a four months' contest among nine boys and girls of Harper who have been engaged in a profitable and instructive venture of raising pork. Club Leader "Bob" Ralston and the farm advisor inspected the pigs of the club last Thursday and found them in good condition. Small pens and lack of sufficient water were the main objections found. The members are correcting these faults this week in order to ensure better results for the closing two months. On July 8 all members will assemble their pigs on the school grounds, have them weighed and judged. A prize will be awarded the boy or girl who has the best record and has grown the use of purebred sires from families, the records of which show that they have the habit of transmitting to their offering spring the high production quality of his ancestors. If pure breeding does not carry with it this evidence it is practically useless. Bookkeeping has made modern big business possible. The dairyman must have bookkeeping in his business. If he doesn't want to do the work, let him join the cow testing association. The cow tester is a bookkeeper for a group of farmers who would rather pay him to do their bookkeeping than do it themselves. The fruits of bookkeeping in the dairy herd are the revelation of the profitable and unprofitable cows with the consequent elimination of the least profitable. Dairy Department Organized One of the best pieces of work the farm bureau has accomplished this season is the formation of the dairy department. Last week was dairy week for the farm bureau. Two public meetings were held—Monday at Raitt's dairy and Tuesday at the city hall. The Monday meeting was of the educational order, Dean Van Norman giving a judging demonstration on the characteristics of a good milk cow. Tuesday's meeting was devoted to organizing and adopting by-laws for the new organization. The value of the organization was discussed first by Van Norman and then by Sam Greene of San Francisco, secretary of the State Dairy Council, recently organized to boost dairy products and to do cooperative work for dairies, the membership fee being twenty cents per cow per year.

The members are correcting these faults this week in order to ensure better results for the closing two months. On July 8 all members will assemble their pigs on the school grounds, have them weighed and judged. A prize will be awarded the boy or girl who has the best record and has grown the biggest pig or most pork for the money expended. Tustin Pig Club Form in September The farm advisor called an assembly of the school children at Tustin last Thursday to hear Mr. Ralston, one of the state club leaders. Mr. Ralston has over one thousand boys and girls under his supervision in the southern end of the state, and every one of his club members are enthusiastic over their work. The Tustin pupils listened to Mr. Ralston with much interest, when he told how boys and girls in other parts of the state were making money and profiting in more ways than one in their club work. A club will be formed in Tustin next September when school starts again. Then there will be no interruption of vacation during the contest. A committee of the Tustin Farm Center has been named to assist the farm advisor in the supervision of the local club work. Citrus Institute Will Bring Hundreds Orange county will have an opportunity to de herself proud on June 24 and 25. This will be her first chance to show an official gathering of citrus delegates from over the entire state what she really produces in the way of citrus fruits. No doubt, every one in the state interested in this product has heard that Orange county stands high in the orange and lemon world, but now we have a chance to show our merits and not only talk. The Orange County Farm Bureau has pledged its support of the citrus institute in that it will find accommodations for the large delegation that will convene in Santa Ana. The chambers of commerce of the county have signified their assistance in locating rooms. There will be a demand for at least 500 rooms to take care of organizing and adopting by-laws for the new organization. The value of the organization was discussed first by Van Norman and then by Sam Greene of San Francisco, secretary of the State Dairy Council, recently organized to boost dairy products and to do cooperative work for dairies, the membership fee being twenty cents per cow per year. "The ability to organize stands out as a great American characteristic," said Van Norman. "The American drops into team-work easily without losing his own head, his ability to think. "The spirit of organization is stronger in cities than in the country. It is now taking firm hold in the country. The fundamental spirit of the farm bureau is to make the country a better place in which to live. Through the farm bureau organization, the farmers have unselfish leadership, and the organization is and will continue to be a great power for good." "By organization you can make dairying a better business for this county." In opening his remarks, Greene said that he liked the dictionary definition of the word "cooperation." The definition is: "Working together jointly to a common end." He said that the organization of departments according to industry was wise, and he believed that eventually the farm bureaus will have many such departments. He said that the public needs education in its attitude toward dairies and to the value of dairy products. Following the remarks by Van Norman and Greene the meeting proceeded to organize. The officers and directors elected were: President, J. T. Raitt, Santa Ana; vice president, P. H. Krick, Anaheim; Secretary, J. J. Kelley, Santa Ana; Directors, F. D. Plavan, Talbert; M. Babylon, Delhi; Dr. G.W. Closson, Anaheim; H. L. Wakeham, Tustin. The by-laws specify that the purposes of this department shall be: 1. To increase the quantity and improve the quality of dairy products. 2. To encourage the use of purebred sires. 3. To cooperate in purchasing feed, seed, fertilizer, etc. 4. To study needs of soil and increase its productivity. 5.

The chambers of commerce of the county have signified their assistance in locating rooms. There will be a demand for at least 500 rooms to take care of the visitors. City folks, as well as rural people, who have an extra room or more are asked to list same with their local chamber of commerce or farm center, or send a postal to H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor, Santa Ana. List the rooms as soon as possible, so that future arrangements may be governed accordingly. The directors of the farm bureau will meet Friday, May 14, to discuss preliminary details for making the institute a success. Every farmer and grower in the county is invited to cooperate with the farm bureau and chamber of commerce in this project. The Dairyman a Business Man Milkers at a cost of $100 a month, and alfalfa at $45 a ton, and all the other things the dairyman has to buy from city people who are sometimes accused of being profiteers cannot be paid for by the dairyman whose cows only produce 160 to 200 pounds of butterfat per cow per year, said Dean H. E. Van Norman of the University Farm at Davis, when talking to the dairymen at Raitt's dairy during the farm bureau demonstration. The man who must buy cows will secure a larger proportion of profitable cows by selecting those of large, deep bodied, angular conformity. Somebody must raise more of this kind. The surest way to do it is by Anaheim; H. L. Wakeham, Tustin. The by-laws specify that the purposes of this department shall be: 1. To increase the quantity and improve the quality of dairy products. 2. To encourage the use of pure-bred sires. 3. To cooperate in purchasing feed, seed, fertilizer, etc. 4. To study needs of soil and increase its productivity. 5. To protect the health of the stock. 6. To hold regular meetings, to discuss all matters of interest to dairymen, to occasionally engage speakers from abroad and to promote in all possible ways the interest of the dairymen of Orange county. The directors have called a meeting for Saturday, May 15, at which definite plans of carrying out the purposes of the new organization will be perfected. Sugar Beet Seed Supply The economic importance of sugar beet seed may be measured by the fact that 70 to 85 per cent of the total quantity of raw sugar produced annually in the United States is manufactured from sugar beets. Considerable interest is manifested, therefore, in the maintenance of an adequate supply of seed for the commercial production of sugar beets, of which it is estimated that 890,000 acres were planted in 1919 and an average of 660,000 acres for the past 10 years, and it is the policy of beet sugar manufacturers and commercial sugar beet growers to have on hand or under their control sufficient seed for one or more years' planting requirements. During the nine-year period ending June 30, 1918, the average annual imports were 12,500,000 pounds. This policy towards the unfortunate and binding as it does to maintain Carrane and to sustain the peace and order in the committee that it cost the American $500,000,000 and had murder of 660 Amherst Mexico.

The imports for the year ending June 30, 1919, however, were only 986,676 pounds. As a result, after the 1919 seeding requirement had been supplied, this surplus stock was reduced to only about 13,600,000 pounds on June 30, 1919. Because of this impending reduction and because of the uncertainty of obtaining seed from Europe considerable anxiety was felt during the latter days of the war period concerning a future supply. Imported seed began coming in, however, during the month of September, 1919, with the first ship to arrive from German ports after the war, totaling 1,795,909 pounds in September, 3,158,991 pounds in October, 1,836,204 pounds in November, and correspondingly large quantities for the following three months, making a total of 13,287,820 pounds for the eight months ending February 29, 1920, which is about 700,000 pounds more than the normal average annual imports. The apparent carry over on June 30, 1919, was 13,600,000 pounds and production in 1919 was 6,700,000 waiting has brought nothing to the United States but trouble. Moral censorship and the attitude of a tolerant parent toward an erring child has failed to secure recognition for American rights. Many persons will hesitate to make the indictment against the administration's Mexican policy as strong as Mr. Wilson has phrased it, but few will deny that the policy has been a failure. The incessant destruction of American lives and property and the constant ferment of trouble and danger along the international border must cease. This will constitute one of the chief responsibilities which the next administration will inherit, and it is a foregone conclusion that the "watchful waiting" policy will be reversed. When you look over that bunch in President Wilson's cabinet you may agree that calling it together was sufficient provocation for canning Secretary Lansing. FREE SPEECH AND GOVERNMENT The right to express one's honest opinions and convictions freely in public utterance and through the press is a right which every civilized government ought to recognize for its own good. What are the conditions under which this right should be exercised and be protected? 1. Every citizen has the right to free speech when his utterance is made, not in attacking a government or destroying it, but with a good plan to reform it. No criticism of existing bad conditions is worth anything unless it is positive instead of negative, and has better effect than any other. A POINT OF VIEW (continued from page eight) become interested, and they too, fired questions at the pleased demonstrator. I managed to break away from this exhibit and again placed myself into the current of moving humanity. This time I drifted away around the circle with the thought presented to me of cars, just cars, with here and there a chassis fixed up in similar fashion after the order of the Buick, but they did not have the nickeled railing that would anchor a nuclus of people. I stopped a second or two at each, then passed on until I came to the striking Jordan Special that I have already mentioned. As I passed across the passageway connecting the two big tents I noticed that filtered drinking water in abundance, and other comforts, had been provided. This indicated a well-planned idea. A fountain of falling water in the center of this rest enclosure added charm to the commercialism of what I had just been through. On entering the tractor and accessory tent I was face to face with more cars. I met a compactness of vehicles similarly arranged as in the other tent. The general impression of this tent was machinery, machinery. I heard one young woman say: "Oh! I wish I could just understand machinery." In this tent at 9 o'clock a young mechanician with the Oakland car exhibit disassembled an Oakland motor in ten minutes. This demonstration was to show the striking accessibility of a stock Oakland motor, which is a The indictment by Henry Lane Wilson, formerly United States ambassador to Mexico, of the administration's Mexican policy is a strong one, calculated to attract general attention to conditions in the "sister republic." Mr. Wilson, in his testimony before a senate investigating committee, said he was not the only diplomatic official who was forced to leave the service because of his inability to stand this government's Mexican policy. He declared that almost every diplomatic representative sent to Mexico since the fall of Diaz and some officials of the department had rebelled against this policy and were obliged to leave, citing among others Ambassador Henry P. Fletcher, Consul General George A. Chamberlain and Counselor John Bassett Moore of the state department. The policy toward Mexico was described by the former ambassador as "unfortunate" and "mischievous," binding as it does the United States to maintain Carranza in power there and to sustain the fiction that there is peace and order in Mexico. He told the committee that in his opinion it has cost the American people more than $500,000,000 and has resulted in the murder of 660 American citizens in Mexico. He also charged this policy with 3,158,991 pounds in October, 1,836,204 pounds in November, and correspondingly large quantities for the following three months, making a total of 13,287,820 pounds for the eight months ending February 29, 1920, which is about 700,000 pounds more than the normal average annual imports. The apparent carry over on June 30, 1919, was 13,600,000 pounds and production in 1919 was 6,700,000 pounds. Adding the imports from July 1, 1919, to February 29, 1920, inclusive, of 13,287,820 pounds, gives an apparent total of 33,500,000 pounds on hand April 1, 1920, to which should be added any imports which were received during March. Deducting from this total apparent carry over the estimated quantity required for planting the 1920 commercial beet crop, 16,000,000 pounds, should leave on hand approximately 17,500,000 pounds to apply on seeding requirements for 1921 and 1922. EDITORIAL COMMENT The indictment by Henry Lane Wilson, formerly United States ambassador to Mexico, of the administration's Mexican policy is a strong one, calculated to attract general attention to conditions in the "sister republic." Mr. Wilson, in his testimony before a senate investigating committee, said he was not the only diplomatic official who was forced to leave the service because of his inability to stand this government's Mexican policy. He declared that almost every diplomatic representative sent to Mexico since the fall of Diaz and some officials of the department had rebelled against this policy and were obliged to leave, citing among others Ambassador Henry P.

Free speech, as defined above, is the safety valve of the people and the progressive motive power of the government. To repress it and to pass laws, forbidding honest convictions when these convictions are evidently intended to heal the wounds of the body politic is to repeat the stupidity of a Napoleon who tried to choke the life out of the press of France. It left France without a voice to speak except through the Napoleonic megaphone. The government did well in deporting a shipload of "reds" for their abuse of free speech. It would also do well to deport several shiploads of "black" profiteers whose actions speak louder than all the free speech of platform or press.—Charles M. Shelldon. The Orange County Osteopathic society will hold its May meeting on Friday of this week, May 14, at the office of Dr. Cora Coghill, 139 North Glassell street, Orange. Dr. C. B. Atzen of Omaha, Nebraska, president of the board of trustees of the Osteopathic Research Institute and a former president of the American Osteopathic association will conduct a clinic during the afternoon session at which time he will demonstrate his method of spinal and general diagnosis. Dr. Atzen will address the local physicians on "Diagnosis," being recognized as one of the leading diagnosticians. What are the conditions under which this right should be exercised and be protected? 1. Every citizen has the right to free speech when his utterance is made, not in attacking a government or destroying it, but with a good plan to reform it. No criticism of existing bad conditions is worth anything unless it is positive instead of negative,and has some better plan to suggest. 2. The right to free speech should be protected by the government when the verbal utterance and the press are voicing great fundamental human needs that are not being met by the existing local or national government. I have never believed that any government had any right under any condition to repress free speech if a great wrong needed to be righted. Expediency should never have the right of way over justice. Free speech, as defined above, is the safety valve of the people and the progressive motive power of the government. To repress it and to pass laws, forbidding honest convictions when these convictions are evidently intended to heal the wounds of the body politic is to repeat the stupidity of a Napoleon who tried to choke the life out of the press of France. It left France without a voice to speak except through the Napoleonic megaphone. The government did well in deporting a shipload of "reds" for their abuse of free speech.

The general impression of this tent was machinery,machinery. I heard one young woman say: "Oh! I wish I could just understand machinery." In this tent at 9 o'clock a young mechanician with the Oakland car exhibit disassembled an Oakland motor in ten minutes. This demonstration was to show the striking accessibility of a stock Oakland motor which is a good feature no doubt in the automobile repair world. All in all this, The First Annual Orange County Auto Show is a metropolitan achievement for Orange county. The next town in Orange county that will have the honor of the auto show next year will have to "step on it" if it wants to surpass this one. For a "first" show, this one is a "hum-dinger." In the advance announcements of the auto show mention was made that the people attending would be provided with expensive entertainment. Well,the crowds were looking for it Friday night,but couldn't find it.The orchestras were rather too small for such a large place consequently people were asking for music.The idea of having an airplane during the day time may be all right to attract the attention of people over the county that something is going on,但它 did not help out inside the tents evenings. Several years ago I attended an auto show in Los Angeles at which the great Creatore band was an attraction.The wonderful music that Creatore brought forth from the assembled group of musicians was worth three times the admission to the show.leaving out the auto show phase.I think that some well-known outside band would have been a more satisfactory attraction than the airplane If a different motion picture actress from Los Angeles on each night and afternoon could have been secured,the people would not feel as one woman did.She remarked: "I can see onthe streets every day all the cars I want." The purpose of the show.was to sell cars—now,或 subsequently.No doubt,many appetites have been sharpened for a car,and by time then show gets around they will be prepared to buy. The policy toward Mexico was described by the former ambassador as "unfortunate" and "mischievous," binding as it does the United States to maintain Carranza in power there and to sustain the fiction that there is peace and order in Mexico. He told the committee that in his opinion it has cost the American people more than $500,000,000 and has resulted in the murder of 660 American citizens in Mexico. He also charged this policy with responsibility for the violent deaths of 300,000 Mexicans and the deaths of 500,000 more by famine and pestilence. In his opinion it has kept 80,000 American troops on the border and has resulted in a deficit of $300,000,000 in the Mexican treasury to replace the surplus of $100,000,000 left by Diaz. Ambassador Wilson's conflict with the administration regarding the Mexican policy lingers in the memory of those who have followed the events of recent history, although much of importance has intervened. Perceiving Huerta's strength and ability, together with his willingness to recognize the rights of Americans in Mexico, the ambassador was not in sympathy with the president's plan to put Hu rta out and establish Carranza in power. Because of his long residence in Mexico and of his familiarity with the events which followed the retirement of Diaz, the opinions of Henry Lane Wilson on this subject are entitled to consideration. They must be given weight not merely because of the high official position he held, but also because the policy he recommended was not adopted, and the one that was adopted has proved a failure. It is clearly evident that a new policy toward Mexico will be framed and put into execution. Watchful Glassell street, Orange. Dr. C. B. Atzen of Omaha, Nebraska, president of the board of trustees of the Osteopathic Research Institute and a former president of the American Osteopathic association, will conduct a clinic during the afternoon session at which time he will demonstrate his method of spinal and general diagnosis. Dr. Atzen will address the local physicians on "Diagnosis," being recognized as one of the leading diagnosticians in the osteopathic profession. Dr. Horace J. Howard of Anaheim, secretary of the Orange County Osteopathic society, is in charge of the arrangements for the meeting. Dr. Harriet M. Bigham of Anaheim has been appointed as chairman of the program committee. Anaheim's new theater is now assured. Messrs. Head & Ingram, under the firm name of The Anaheim Theater Co., have accepted plans submitted by a Los Angeles architect, and the ground is now being cleared for the building. The location is on the south side of Center street, between Lemon and Clementine, the lot being 54x150 feet. The building is to be three stories high, and will cost $75,000. This will far surpass any theater building in Orange county, and will be an important addition to Anaheim's group of beautiful buildings. Two more days of Chautauqua. Don't let it get away without seeing something of the big show. We repeat that Colonel Bryan is the logical candidate for the democratic presidential nomination because he only runs for the practice.

The wretched twanging of the strings that produce jazz are but indicative of the wretched nerves that jazz has brought. Germany, suffering a defeat more humiliating than eer has been recorded, blithely jazzes through a Berlinese night to a red morning of slaughter. The nights of Paris, a few months ago lighted only by the shafts of the moon's rays, are a Babylon of jazz and liquor. In all times there never has been the drumkenness (especially among women) that there is today in the city of London. London staggers to bed at night and reels to a half day's work in the morning. A few years ago there was the philosophy of "pep"; today, pep is passe—it's too slow. We must jazz our way through life. What is the world coming to "Spooka" and Mexico Recently, on two different occasions, two professors hold sway on the high school auditorium stage. Professor Cunning was one, and the other was Professor Frederick Monsen. Cunning gave an expose of so-called spiritualistic phenomena, using two nights to do it in.

Monsen gave a lecture entitled, "The Truth About Mexico." His audience of one night was very small. It seems that the people, to judge by this demonstration, care more about "spooks" than they do about the truth regarding Mexico. This incident is a good example of the human mind, of the race mass. Mexico is somewhat too far to enter into the daily observation of the majority of people hereabouts. What has been going on in Mexico has not yet reached the front yard of people's living. Revolutions and the like have not interfered with the table supply of the average home. It requires an impersonal interest to be interested in the welfare of a distant tribe. The human mind is too selfish and only interested upon the personality of the interested party. So, the passing on of a person is personal to one or more other persons. Thus, the question of exposing spiritualistic phenomena comes home to many people as a selfish, personal affair, and of course, they have got to have the question attended to one way or the other. But, with the truth or lies regarding Mexico is not so personal. So, people didn't go. In studying Jesus Christ's life, I find that he lived the impersonal, unselfish life. It is all right to be selfish, I suppose, but a good thought now and then regarding the welfare and happiness of our neighbor (even though he be our enemy) is what humanity is in need of today. show was to sell consequently.

Mexico is somewhat too far to enter into the daily observation of the majority of people hereabouts. What has been going on in Mexico has not yet reached the front yard of people's living. Revolutions and the like have not interfered with the table supply of the average home. It requires an imperial interest to be interested in the welfare of a distant tribe. The human mind is too selfish and only interested in the personal self. Therefore, truth or lies about Mexico is not of interest sufficient to warrant an evening's breakaway from pet, personal pleasures. People of this country, as a class and mass, are not particularly concerned with Mexico. Some of Washington's politicians would have it otherwise, but it's awful hard to get away from one's little personal environment. On the other hand, people flocked to hear and see Cunning expose alleged Spiritualistic tricks. Why did they go in such large numbers? Simply, because of the make-up of the personal of the mass mind. They went because the subject is of personal interest to most people. Most people have one or more identities who have passed out of the human body. In human life, more or less attachment has grown between the several parties. So, when one or more continues on the unseen journey a longing in the human mind to know the status of the party or parties is ever present. Consequently, when assertions reach their ears that disconate entities can be interviewed, to a degree, as in this life, naturally (to a human mind), an interest in the question is evinced. So, people get busy on the subject and look into the matter. Some only vaguely, some intensely, and some very thoroughly. All, of course, de- C. S. Troutman, Dr. William Freeman and wife, O. V.

The "Merchant of Venice" will be presented by high school students at the auditorium Monday night, and no doubt the seats will all be taken by people who are anxious to see what the young folks can do with Shakespeare. There is some good talent in the school, but Shylock and Portia are rather difficult characters for amateurs to portray. The high school trustees have called for bids for the construction of the new building from which bonds to the amount of $175,000 were voted on March 6. Bids will be received up to one o'clock Monday, May 24. W. H. Schureman, Anaheim Citrus Fruit association manager, addressed the Loara Farm Center Tuesday evening, his subject being the exchange organization and marketing system. Mr. Schurman is well posted on this subject and is also a good talker.
