GASOLINE SHORT, DEALERS ARE CAUTIOUS AUTOMOBILES RATIONED, BUT COMMERCIAL CARS ARE STILL GETTING FULL TANKS Some Dealers Conserving Their Daily Supply for Regular Customers, Refusing Gas to Transients—Tractor Owners Enlarging Their Tanks for Purpose of Getting More "No gas!" This is the reply that frequently meets the customer's request for replenishment of his tank at Aanheim stations these days, and if the situation gets much worse gasoline will be as hard to get as booze. All the dealers have had their daily supply cut down about half, and they are supposed to use their own judgment in parceling it out. Some dealers refuse gas to travelers, conserving their supply for their regular cus- noon, and sometimes as early as 10 o'clock. Some of the station owners are considering the advisability of having their Sunday allotment distributed to them through the week and closing up on Sunday. The Sunday allotment is bought pretty much by transients and the owners believe that by giving their patrons the Sunday portion through the week they will be performing a greater service than by keeping open on Sunday and selling part of their supply to transients. CYPRESS DRAINAGE PETITION The farm bureau drainage committee of Cypress has completed circulation of its petition to the supervisors for a drainage district in that locality. Over 125 names have been received. The petition has been filed with the board of supervisors this week and will come up for a public hearing three weeks from the date of filing. A right of way for an outlet for the district has been obtained through the Bixby-Hellman properties and also from the Los Alimitos Sugar company. WET PLOWING HARMFUL Working the soil when it is too wet "No gas!" This is the reply that frequently meets the customer's request for replenishment of his tank at Aanheim stations these days, and if the situation gets much worse gasoline will be as hard to get as booze. All the dealers have had their daily supply cut down about half, and they are supposed to use their own judgment in parceling it out. Some dealers refuse gas to travelers, conserving their supply for their regular customers, some will not sell to tractors, but all are endeavoring to supply all the needs of commercial cars, although even truck drivers cannot buy gas when there is no gas, and every dealer finds his daily supply exhausted before the day is ended. And the situation is getting worse, further curtailment being anticipated, although some dealers believe the necessity for rationing will last but a few weeks. The card system which would prevent a man buying at different stations, has not yet been adopted here, but probably will be. It is reported that some tractor owners have doubled the capacity of their tanks and have thus been enabled to hoard a little of the precious fluid. Of the situation at Santa Ana, the Register says: The gasoline situation locally is growing more serious daily and today local stations are working practically on 50 per cent of the amount they usually handle. Autoists travel from one station to another in efforts to get a supply and in the afternoon usually are met with the same greeting: "Out of gas," says the Register. Limits have been placed on pleasure cars, varying from three to five for commercial users to get by with less than a full tank they are asked to take a less amount. With their possible sales cut in half local dealers have eliminated the differential in price between the trucks and delivery cars and pleasure machines and hereafter charge the full price for fuel served to all. The proprietors of stations have found this necessary in order to avoid financial disaster, for at present it looks as though the shortage would continue throughout the summer. An agent for one of the distributing companies said that one of the greatest factors in creating the shortage at the present time is the starting of tractors in general farming opera- WET PLOWING HARMFUL Working the soil when it is too wet is probably causing more harm than any other factor in the orchards of Southern California. This is one of the facts brought out at the La Habra farm center the other evening. Plowing or discarding the soil when wet put it in a poor physical condition that is very detrimental to the bacterial life existing in the upper strata of the soil. The puddling effect takes all the life from the soil particles and depreciates the fertility or plant food that might otherwise in time become available to the tree roots. A plow sole is more easily created under wet conditions, which causes lateral perculation rather than vertical. Often times where moisture seems to travel readily from furrow to furrow laterally, the subsoil is not getting its due share, that is the root zone is not receiving moisture as readily as it will in the absence of a plow sole. More damage is incurred on the heavier soils than the lighter ones. Organic matter in the form of manures, straw or green covercrops have a tendency to decrease the danger of the above conditions. LONG PRUNING BEST Long pruning, as distinguished from the short or stubbing system, as exemplified by Dr. J. C. Whitten of the College of Agriculture, during several field demonstrations the last week under the auspices of the farm bureau. Long pruning produces thicker leaves of a dark green color which indicates the presence of a large amount of chlorophyll. This element is used to a large extent by the tree to produce sugar in the tissues of the wood and leaves. The more sugar there is stored up in the plant the more resistant that plant is to frost. It is for this reason that many of the long pruned apricot orchards in the Hemet and Elsinore districts this year with- week and will come up for a public hearing three weeks from the date of filing. A right of way for an outlet for the district has been obtained through the Bixby-Hellman properties and also from the Los Alimitos Sugar company. E. J. Marks, T. H. G.

The proprietors of stations have found this necessary in order to avoid financial disaster, for at present it looks as though the shortage would continue throughout the summer. An agent for one of the distributing companies said that one of the greatest factors in creating the shortage at the present time is the starting of tractors in general farming operations. Farming work is in full swing, with many tractors daily doing work in preparation for crops or in their cultivation. It is suspected that in some instances tractor owners are not dealing fair with the distributing companies and are buying more gas than they really need and are hoarding it up against the time when there might be a more serious shortage. This feature is going to be investigated pretty closely and if such cases are found the result might be disastrous to the guilty parties. Tractor supply takes precedence over every other class of service with the supplying companies, it being their intention to protect to the fullest all tractor owners and there is no occasion for hoarding. Where hoarding is practiced it serves only to lessen the supply available for trucks, commercial cars and pleasure vehicles. A step to correct this possible evil is to be taken tomorrow by at least one of the wholesaleing companies, when trucks making country districts will be given an allotment with the driver instructed to make it go as far as possible for the day. For the past two or three days most of the local stations, particularly those having a large commercial trade, have sold out their allotments before Long pruning produces thicker leaves of a dark green color which indicates the presence of a large amount of chlorophyll. This element is used to a large extent by the tree to produce sugar in the tissues of the wood and leaves. The more sugar there is stored up in the plant the more resistant that plant is to frost. It is for this reason that many of the long pruned apricot orchards in the Hemet and Elsinore districts this year withstand the frost damage while the orchards pruned by the rural short system were heavily hit. Cutting back causes much succulent and soft growth subject to extremes of heat and cold and giving off 25 to 30 times as much moisture as the thick leathery leaves of the natural slow growth. The long system encourages twig growth and diameter growth while the heading back system forces greater length growth and of smaller diameter. Buds have a better chance to fatten up and prepare themselves for the dormant season when the tree is handled by moderate long pruning. Those who are interested in the permanent farm bureau plots that are pruned according to the new long system, will find good examples of this method in the following orchards which are cooperating with the farm bureau: James Smiley—West Orange. Edward Chaffee—Garden Grove. Mr. Bennett—Buena Park. D. J. Dodge—Harper. Dr. Whitten will continue following up the pruning of these trees next fall. Miss Ila Calder, one of the grammar school teachers, has been elected principal of the Buena Park schools. She resigned her position here. Anaheim, California, Thursday, June 10, 1920 THIRD DISTRICT ROAD SCHEME IS DEAD CITY ATTORNEYS OF ANAHEIM, FULLERTON AND PLACENTIA PUT IT TO SLEEP Mutual Welfare Association of Northern Orange County Not Enthusiastic for Bond Issue at This Time, Anyway—Extremely Doubtful if Bonds Could be Sold at This Time Plans for the formation of a road district, comprising all the territory lying within the boundary lines of the third supervisorial district, have been abandoned. Hopes of those who advocated a district separate from the county and a bond issue for the purpose of constructing several hundred thousand dollars worth of new highway, have gone a-glimmering, and it is now conceded that the supervisors have full jurisdiction over road building within the county outside the boundaries of incorporated cities. FORTY-SIX GRAOUATE FROM GRAMMAR SCHOOL Exercises Held at the Auditorium Last Friday Evening A class of forty-six pupils graduated from the grammar gradea, exercises being held at the Frémont school Friday evening. Members of the class were: Ellsworth Billig, Catherine Boege, Georgene Brunswick; Evelyn Cordes; Amy Degryse, Elizabeth Donnelly, Hortence Daniels, Paul Dickman; Honor Easton; Florence Findlay, Geraldine Fisqua; Steve Ferdinando; Monroe Giss, Emily Giese, Ray Grover; Selma Heine, Eugene Hancock, Elmer Johnston, Stella Jackson, Stuart Jayne; Eleanor Longworth, Paul Leuschner; Helen Manter, Hazel Manter, Sylvester Maddox, Kermet Michael, Laura Moreno; Teddy Nordheim; George Oelkers, Charles O'Toole; Charles Pannier, Malvern Pieper, Mae Polrier, Lorena Polrier; Carl Reinert, May Requarth, Frances Reed, Donald Ramella, Florence Rutledge; Charles Schulz, Henry Siefken; Alleen Terry, Roma Tedford, Nerland Tobin; Lauren Wright, Kittle Walton. WICKERSHEIM'S SALES Since May 1 the Wiskersheim Implement company has sold and delivered SLACKERS SOON TO BE BROUGHT TO TRIAL DRAFT EVADERS WHO FLED TO MEXICO WILL BE SENT BACK BY MEXICAN OFFICIALS Young Men Who Preferred Exile and Disgrace to an Honorable Military Record Now Facing the Penitentiary—Men Have Been Living the Life of Outcasts in the Southern Republic When the call to patriotic America to rally round the colors came in 1917 and the draft machinery was put in operation, a number of young men in Anaheim and northern Orange county, evidently preferring exile and disgrace to honorable service, mysteriously disappeared, leaving no footprints behind. Presumably they went to Mexico where thousands of others from California and the border states found an asylum, and where they have had three robes. district, comprising all the territory lying within the boundary lines of the third supervisorial district, have been abandoned. Hopes of those who advocated a district separate from the county and a bond issue for the purpose of constructing several hundred thousand dollars worth of new highway, have gone a glimmering, and it is now conceded that the supervisors have full jurisdiction over road building within the county outside the boundaries of incorporated cities. E. J. Marks, T. L. McFadden and H. G. Ames, city attorneys respectively of Fullerton, Placentia and Anaheim, put a quietus on the movement when they submitted a report on the question at the monthly meeting of the mutual welfare association of northern Orange county, held at Fullerton last week. They reported that the district bonding plan, under existing laws, is not feasible. The present law is designed to facilitate formation of small road districts, but would be found unsatisfactory in districts as large as the one proposed. There is no act sufficient in scope and flexible enough in operation, the committee reported, and it finds it impracticable to proceed under existing legislation. Should such a district be formed, the report stated, which would require two or three years for organization, incorporated cities could not be included. The committee also reported that there is "apparent legal authority" for the board of supervisors, by a four-fifths vote, to adopt the direct-tax method of permanent road improvement. Chairman McFadden, however, said that the matter of a four-fifth vote would prevent a settled policy, and he was favorable to some bonding plan, under which taxpayers could know beforehand what roads were to be built. There was a disposition on the part of nearly all present at the meeting to discourage the issuance of bonds at the present time for road extension. H. H. Hale stated that he always favored good roads, but conditions were such at the present time that the issuance of more bonds would be unwise. Already, he said, bonds that cannot be sold are on the market. He favored better roads, he said, but owing to the high cost of construction and everything else at the present time, he believed further highway work should be deferred. WICKERSHEIM'S SALES Since May 1 the Wiskersheim Implement company has sold and delivered the following new Fords and used cars: New Ford touring cars to J. D. Cariker, Bernard Arroues, Julius Lehman, E. D. Lapham, R. S. Hughes, C. C. Kelly, S. L. McCleary and George R. Lee; new Ford roaster to W. G. Bond; new Ford sedans to C. G. Crowder, B. S. Young, H.

GOPHER CONTROL TESTS Gophers are very popular this season. They are showing up quite numerous in the citrus groves of the county. Many inquiries are coming to the farm advisor's office and horticulture commissioner's office for help in this line. Special field demonstrations are scheduled to be held next week. Mr. Jacobsen, state chief of rodent control, and the local horticulture commissioner of Santa Ana, will assist in three demonstrations, which will be held at El Modena, 10 a.m., Tuesday, June 15; La Habra, 2 p.m., Tuesday, June 15; Yorba Linda, 8 p.m., June 15; Anaheim, 10 a.m., Wednesday, June 16; Fullerton, 2 p.m., Wednesday, June 16; Garden Grove, 10 a.m., Thursday, June 17; Buena Park. When the call to patriotic America to rally round the colors came in 1917 and the draft machinery was put in operation, a number of young men in Anaheim and northern Orange county, evidently preferring exile and disgrace to honorable service, mysteriously disappeared, leaving no footprints behind. Presumably they went to Mexico where thousands of others from California and the border states found an asylum, and where they have had three years of opportunity to ponder over the fatal mistake they made in casting aside home and friends and native land, to become wandering Ishmaelites on the face of the earth—to be known as men without a country. But their punishment is not yet done. Since the fall of Carranza the United States government has made arrangement with the powers in control at Mexico City to place these slackers under arrest and return them to this country for trial, and soon the federal courts will be congested with the cases.From fifteen to twenty-five years in the penitentiary will be the sentence drawn by a majority of them, but some perhaps will get life imprisonment. These men have experienced a miserable existence during the past three years.No one would employ them,and even the ignorant peons treated them as outcasts and offensive animals.unfit to associate with human beings.Scorned by the natives of the land to which they fled,the draft evaders banded together in colonies near Mazatlan and Guaymas for their own protection,and have lived precarious lives.Refused employment and companionship by the Mexican people,and scorned by even the lowest in the land,these miserable outcasts have lived like the wild animals,getting a precarious living probably by foraging.Some of them,nobody received help from the relatives whom they had repudiated,and whose names they had disgraced. The United States government has waited for an opportunity to get these men.However,under the Carranza administration federal officials of this government made no progress in efforts to extradite them for trial.But the new government is anxious to aid the United States in punishing these slackers and they are to be rounded up and brought to trial.Under the plan of government agents to discredit the insurance of bonds at the present time for road extension. H. H. Hale stated that he always favored good roads, but conditions were such at the present time that the issuance of more bonds would be unwise. Already, he said, bonds that cannot be sold are on the market. He favored better roads, he said, but owing to the high cost of construction and everything else at the present time, he believed further highway work should be deferred. A. S. Bradford was of the same opinion as Mr. Hale. He said it was extremely doubtful if bonds could be sold even if voted and placed on the market. Mr. Bradford also thought the owners of heavy trucks should be taxed for the upkeep of the roads, as the principal wear and tear and damage to the highways was caused by the trucks. Warrenite roads came in for a share of the discussion, and Hale, Bradford, W. T. Brown and others spoke of the economy of the Warrantine roads in use in Fullerton for seven or eight years. N. C. Olson of the Warrenite company told of their work, how no concrete road he has seen that is more than five years old but what is at least one-third rebuilt, while the Warrenite pavement about the state capitol at Sacramento has been in use for over thirty years. At Brown's request, a standing vote was taken, and an overwhelming majority of those present were in favor of Warrenite surfacing on Orange county's highways. LADY VICTORY LAYS LAVISHLY Poultry specialists of the United States department of agriculture practice as well as preach. Their recommendations to poultrymen are based Special held demonstrations are scheduled to be held next week. Mr. Jacobsen, state chief of rodent control, and the local horticulture commissioner of Santa Ana, will assist in three demonstrations, which will be held at El Modena, 10 a.m., Tuesday, June 15; La Habra, 2 p.m., Tuesday, June 15; Yorba Linda, 8 p.m., June 15; Anaheim, 10 a.m., Wednesday, June 16; Fullerton, 2 p.m., Wednesday, June 16th; Garden Grove, 10 a.m., Thursday, June 17; Buena Park, 2 p.m., Thursday, June 17; and Capistrano, 8 p.m., June 17. Theodore Roberts' latest contribution to the business houses of this city is a substantial brick structure which he is now erecting on West Center, between Palm and Helena. It has been leased to a plumber. Mrs. E. M. Polhemus of Artesia was visiting friends here the latter part of the week. Her granddaughter, Evelyn Polhemus, accompanied her home for a short visit. on actual experience. At the department's experiment farm at Beltsville, Maryland, is a flock of more than 6,000 birds whose thriving conditions and good egg production is evidence of practicability of the specialists' poultry doctrine. In this immense flock there is one hen—Lady Victory they call her, though officially she is No.408—who has been exhibited at many poultry shows and has taken many prizes. This is the enviable laying record which she has made: In her pullet year she laid 214 eggs, and in the first five years laid a total of 779 eggs. Lady Victory is now in her sixth year, hale and hearty, and still laying eggs at a good fast clip. The United States government has waited for an opportunity to get these men. However, under the Carranza administration federal officials of this government made no progress in efforts to extradite them for trial. But the new government is anxious to aid the United States in punishing these slackers and they are to be rounded up and brought to trial. Under the plan of government agents officers of President Adolfo de la Huerta of Mexico will, officially or otherwise, quietly "boost" the outcasts across the border into the jurisdiction of the United States. Agents of the United States department of justice will be in readiness to accord an official and stern "welcome" to the outcasts as the "boost" is made from the other side of the boundary. Such close tab on the fugitives has been kept by government agents that officers know the exact whereabouts of the men and are prepared to block any effort made by them to flee to other countries. Every man of the colonies will be vigorously prosecuted when apprehended, it was declared. STATE BUREAU HEAD HERE The directors of the Orange county farm bureau centers in the county are assembled this afternoon in their regular monthly session at Santa Ana to hear Dr. W. A. Walker, president of the California Federation of Farm Bureau. Dr. Walker is reporting on national convention of farm bureaus just adjourned. He is just on his return here from the conclave and is meeting with the directors of the southern counties while passing through. ROBERT JOHNSTON DIES AT MONROVIA SANITARIUM Succumbs to Tuberculosis After Two Years of Illness After fighting for almost two years against the steady advance of tuberculosis, Robert J. H. Johnston surrendered to the death angel at the Monrovia sanitarium Saturday night. The remains were brought to Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors on Sunday and prepared for burial. Bob was for a number of years prominently identified with Anaheim's business interests. He was born in Canada 38 years ago, and had been a resident of this city for fifteen years. For a couple of years he was editor of the Daily Herald, but disposed of his interests in that paper and went into the oil fields. Shortly after beginning his outdoor labor he was stricken with hemorrhages and his physicians ordered him to move to a drier climate. The past two years he has lived in the California desert and in Arizona, but was unable to overcome the disease. Three weeks ago he was brought to the Monrovia sanitarium where death finally overtook him. Mr. Johnston leaves a widow and twin sons, Robert and Herbert, aged nearly four years; also his mother. TRAFFIC OFFICER AT INTERSECTION SUGGESTED INCREASING TRAVEL ON STATE HIGHWAY CAUSE OF CONGESTION IN BUSINESS AREA Many Citizens Argue in Favor of Stationing Officer at Busy Corner During Certain Hours of the Day—May Be Means of Preventing Serious Accident The suggestion is frequently made that a traffic officer be stationed at the Center and Los Angeles intersection during certain hours of the day. The congestion there at times becomes dangerous and it is wonder that serious accidents do not occur. Some autoists passing through go at a 30-mile clip which should not be tolerated.

A. Clarke Fund Dead in His Home Sunday Morning J. A. Clark, a carpenter, aged 61 years, who has been living alone in a small house in his three-acre orange grove on East Broad street, was found dead on the floor at half past ten Sunday morning by his neighbor, W. C. Heffern. Mr. Heffern immediately called up the police station, and Officers Choate and Minyard went out and took charge of the place. Coroner Brown was notified and came over Monday morning. After making an examination Mr. Brown concluded that an inquest was unnecessary, so he issued a certificate declaring that death was due to apoplexy. Mr. Clark was preparing to build a new house, having laid the foundation. He lived alone, but had a son, C. R. Clark, living at Tulare. The son was notified and wired back that the body was to be held until he arrived. SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECTED At a recent meeting of the Anaheim school board, twenty-five teachers were elected for the next year's term, leaving several places yet to fill. Following are the teachers elected: that a traffic officer be stationed at the Center and Los Angeles intersection during certain hours of the day. The congestion there at times becomes dangerous and it is wonder that serious accidents do not occur. Some autoists passing through go at a 30-mile clip which should not be tolerated. Within recent months much triflic has been diverted onto Lemon street, but still the state highway draws the largest crowds. If travelers going south could be induced to come in on Palm street, it would serve to remedy matters considerably. Los Angeles officers frequently pass here and upon several occasions they stop and ask what is going on to cause the crowded streets. When told it is almost an everyday occurrence to witness these large crowds they marvel at the activity evidenced here. Some of these men have said the intersection at Los Angeles and Center streets at certain hours of the afternoon is the busiest corner to be found in the Southland. This is due in great part by autoists being attarcted to the state highway, and cars from all over the state come here on their journeys to the south. Eastern tourists motoring through add to the congestion, close observers seeing pennants upon cars from many states throughout the union. A would officers would have his hands full in keeping order, but if the motorists were halted it might be the means of diverting traffic to other streets, which would serve the object sought. It might be well for the city authorities to give the matter attention. CULLING DEMONSTRATION Several poultry demonstrations are being arranged in different parts of the county to show the best methods of culling out the boarder hens from the flocks. Meetings will be held at Garden Grove, Buena Park, Santa Ana and Harper. Mr. Esson, poultry expert of the College of Agriculture, will assist in these demonstrations. The egg production of the flocks culled in these demonstrations will be recorded ten days preceding and ten days following the culling for comparative data.

SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECTED At a recent meeting of the Anaheim school board, twenty-five teachers were elected for the next year's term, leaving several places yet to fill. Following are the teachers elected: Fremont school—Effa G. Lockwood, Mercedes Moyer, Callye R. Sparks, Mrs. Clara E. Haylett, Alta Nixon, Ella Page Seward, Mrs. Ilo O. Calder. Central school—Mattle Lou Robertson, Mackey West, Vincenta Doyle, Edith Williams, Muriel Cunningham. Broadway school—M. Alice Grimshaw, Blanche Graves Daniels, Ruth Munger, Mrs. J. T.

Abernathy and Claude W. Horst were notified that their services were no longer wanted. The Fullerton Savings bank, through Attorneys Head and Rutan, have brought suit against J. A. and Mattle Goetz to foreclose on a tract of about 45 acres of land in the Kraemer tract near Placentia which the bank holds as security on a note for $5000 on which a balance of $3000 is alleged to be due. Governor Edward of New Jersey has opened campaign headquarters, as a presidential candidate, in Washington. Respectfully commended to the attention of W. J. B. Meetings will be held at Garden Grove, Buena Park, Santa Ana and Harper. Mr. Esson, poultry expert of the College of Agriculture, will assist in these demonstrations. The egg production of the flocks culled in these demonstrations will be recorded ten days preceding and ten days following the culling for comparative data. BEFORE THE "VET" COMES If your cow gets sick and for any reason you cannot get the veterinarian in a hurry, get some linseed oil and clear out the alimentary tract. Nine times out of ten the veterinarian will say that you did exactly right and the cow will show improvement. A quart of raw linseed oil constitutes a dose, but more will do no harm. Be sure to administer raw linseed oil, because the boiled product may prove dangerous. A drench should not be administered if the cow manifests difficulty in swallowing. Fullerton claims its high school district is the richest in the world in comparison with number of students enrolled, and we presume the claim is justified. Last year the assessment of the district was forty-two million dollars, and this year it is expected to reach sixty millions. Now it is said that claims of $900,-000,000 against the war department, of contractors and others who furnished war materials to the government in the war period, remain unpaid. There are about 1,500 claims which are not yet settled. Isn't it ever going to end?
