ICE MEN ACCUSED OF GIVING SHORT WEIGHT
In reporting the population of the bhelm as given out by the census bureau Saturday, a Los Angeles paper says the news that the city had increased 110 per cent during the decade was received with cheers and much rejoicing by the people. The man wro wrote that was talking through his tile. The noisy demonstration here was the same character as the one that emanated from the Los Angeles enthusiasts when the census man informed them that he counted only 575,000 noses in that city, in spite of the fact that the said enthusiasts had been gambling on a figure in excess of 700,000.
As a matter of fact there is deep disappointment in Anaheim, and the people feel that they have been handed a lemon. Everybody knows there are more than 5,526 people in this city, and somebody should write to the census man and tell him so.
There is a grievous error some place, and many people are inclined to accuse the democratic administration of being responsible for it, but this is unjust. The government at Washington has made countless blunders, of course, but it is to blame for this only inasmuch as it sent non-residents here to count us. Most of the enumerators employed to take the census here live in Santa Ana and Orange. These two towns maintain a religious census in order to determine each day how many citizens are pointing their footsteps toward the gates of glory, and how many are hell-bent in the other direction. When these holy people counted the residents of Anaheim, we believe they only enrolled the sheep found safely within the fold, and refused to list the goats that were on the outside.
However that may be, it is evident to even the most conservative citizen that we have been unjustly treated. Four years ago, when the Elks took a census, they found 5,280 people within our limits, and at that time there were many vacant houses. Since then at least three hundred new dwellings have been built, and there is now not a vacant house or room to be found in the dity, some of the houses even sheltering two families. Only last week a gentleman connected with some big industry, stopped here with his family and made it known to real estate men that he wanted a furnished house for a couple of months. The town was scoured by agents but no

ICE MEN ACCUSED OF GIVING SHORT WEIGHT
But County Sealer McPhee Believes They Are All Square Dealers
County Sealer George McPhee was on the Bastanchury ranch Friday morning on business pertaining to his office, and stopped awhile in this city on his return home. Mr. McPhee says he is receiving many complaints relative to light weight lumps of ice delivered to customers these days, but he is inclined to the belief that none of the dealers in the county are deliberately short-weighting their customers. A piece of ice is a commodity that always loses weight gradually and continuously after it leaves the ice house, and its shrinkage cannot be prevented.
Mr. McPhee suggests a method by which each customer can determine the weight of a piece of ice without weighing it. There are thirty cubic inches of ice in a pound, therefore if the customer will measure the piece left at his door, multiply the length by the width and the result by the thickness, he will have the number of cubic inches in the chunck: Divide that by thirty and he will have the number of pounds. For instance, in a piece fifteen inches long, ten inches wide and six inches thick there are nine hundred cubic inches, or thirty pounds. On a chunk twelve inches long, eight inches wide and five inches thick contains 480 cubic inches, or sixteen pounds.
Owing to its tendency to shrink and the impossibility of cutting off the exact weight asked for, ice dealers are allowed a margin of five per cent either above or below the amount charged for. A hundred pound cake may weigh only 95 pounds, but under the law it is 100 pounds, and the dealer is not short-weighting you. Or it may weigh 105 pounds, but he is supposed to charge fifty-two students high school, compulsory 1920, finished their out of that institute Thursday night.

many vacant houses. Since then at least three hundred new dwellings have been built, and there is now not a vacant house or room to be found in the dity, some of the houses even sheltering two families. Only last week a gentleman connected with some big industry, stopped here with his family and made it known to real estate men that he wanted a furnished house for a couple of months. The town was scoured by agents but no house, large or small, could be found, although the gentleman insinuated that he would pay as high as $100 per month. Finnally a deputation waited on Emmy Heying and endeavored to persuade him to move out of town and thus create a vacancy, but he refused to do so, and the stranger took his family to Long Beach.
Basing their estimates on the names recorded in the new city directory, many people believed the population would reach nine thousand, but that was two thousand above the most conservative estimate. This city is hadicaped by its small area, which is only two and a half square miles, whereas Orange has five and a half, and Fullerton thirty-six square miles. On every side many people, who are a part of the city, slop over the narrow limits of our boundary lines and cannot be recorded on our population roll. Still the best authorities agree that there are many hundreds more people within this limited area than the census taker ha sallowed us.
The chamber of commerce may take another census, just to determine the actual population of the city. Officially we must stand where the powers at Washington have placed us, but we may use the correct figures on our municipal signs, our literature and our stationery.
Owing to its tendency to shrink and the impossibility of cutting off the exact weight asked for, ice dealers are allowed a margin of five per cent either above or below the amount charged for. A hundred pound cake may weigh only 95 pounds, but under the law it is 100 pounds, and the dealer is not short-weighting you. Or it may weigh 105 pounds, but he is supposed to charge for only 100+pounde.
FUR EXPECTED TO FLY

Kenneth Goodale, Salutatorian, and Grace Hedstrom, Valedictorian, Express Sentiments of the Class to an Appreciative Audience—Two Ornamental Street lamps Presented to the School by the Class as a Memorial
Fifty-two students of the Anaheim high school, comprising the class of 1920, finished their course and passed out of that institution of learning Thursday night. Commencement is always the big event of the school year. It is an occasion of joy to the seniors, because it marks the end of their school days, but it is also tinged with regret because of the separation from those who associated with them for so many years.
expert motion picture men may be found there.
From this effectively organized picture-producing plant, one hundred fifty some odd thousand feet of film weekly starts its long journey through the theaters of America, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentine, South Africa, Spain, France, Russia, Scandinavia, Japan, China and Alaska. Each week ten million people see the Ford Educational Weekly.
It is shown in seven thousand—nearly half—moving picture theaters in the United States; and has gained for the Ford Motor company the distinction for having the largest circulation of motion pictures in the world.
A staff of camera men are employed continuously to provide pictures for the laboratory.
One of the most recent films portrays scenes from Henry Ford's life. It shows something of his early life on the farm where he tinkered with machinery when his other work permitted, gives one a glimmering of his early mechanical genius, shows him at work on the first car, and later shows all of the Ford industries in Detroit. The last scene, taken last fall, pictures Mr. and Mrs. Ford riding on their farm near Dearborn, Michigan, in the first Ford car, which, incidentally still is in very good running condition.

MISS EMALINE HATCH
BRIDE OF LEO McGAVREN
Young Couple Married at Home of Groom's Parents Saturday
The numerous friends of Miss Emaline Hatch and Leo McGavron were very much surprised to learn Sunday that the young couple had been quietly married the previous afternoon, and had slipped away on a honey-moon tour. The marriage took place at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. McGaaren, on east North street, on Saturday afternoon, the ceremony being performed by Rev. C. B. Hatch, father of the bride. It was quiet affair; only the near relatives being present. The bride was dressed for traveling, and the young couple left after the ceremony for San Diego where they expected to spend several days taking in the sights at San Diego and Coronado. On their return they will reside at the Hatch residence on North Olive.
The bride is a daughter of Dr. C. B. Hatch, pastor of the Presbyterian church, and is extremely popular with the members of that congregation as well as with all others who are acquainted with her. The groom is a member of the postoffice force where he has been employed for a number of years except for the period of the war, which he spent fighting the Hun in France.
Hearty congratulations and good wishes are extended to the popular young couple by their many friends.
HARPER PIG CLUB CELEBRATION
The pigs have made hogs of themselves in the Harper Pig Club. So it cannot truthfully be called a pig club any longer.
Sa'urday, July 10, has been set for the official close of the pig growing Escorted by a guard of twenty-four boys from St. Catherine's school, each wearing a miniature flag, a long line of the members of Anaheim Knights of Columbus Council marched to St. Boniface's church Sunday morning, where a special service was held especially for the Knights. After Rev P. Browne, rector of St. Boniface's, and chaplain of the council had celebrated high mans, a Jesuit father of Los Angeles preached a sermon, particularly appropriate, as it was Knights of Columbus Day.
The occasion for the all-day activities of the Knights was the initiation of forty-four new members into the council. Half of these new initiates were from San Diego, and they were accompanied by 250 members of the San Diego council. Members of the local council considered it their duty to entertain the visitors and they proceeded to do it in royal style. The San Diego delegation arrived here about noon and were taken in charge by the entertainment committee, who lead them where the eato were pleniful.
At 2 o'clock the initiation ceremonies began at K. of C. hall. The hall had not been built for the accommodation of such a large crowd, consequently it was somewhat congested. District Deputy Frank L. Hope and his staff of San Diego had charge of the initiation and exemplified the work which was not finished until seven in the evening.
At the close of the ceremonies the entire body marched to St. Catherine's school where a splendid banquet had been spread in the large dining hall. Leo Sheridan, grand knight of the local council, turned over the command to W. J. Heinze, who acted as toastmaster, and an interesting program was carried out. Short speeches were made by District Deputy Hope, Father Dummelen of Santa Ana, and Father Fitzpatrick of Fullerton, but the principal address was made by Frank Jenal of Los Angeles. Patriotism was the theme of his talk, and the address was an intensely interesting one.
Mr. Jenal was with the boys in France, and knew what was accomplished by the Knights who made themselves so popular with the soldier boys by their impartial and charitable work. He lauded the American system of government as the best in the world, and declared that patriotism are convulsive.

Miss Grace Hedstrom, as valedictorian, made the farewell address, expressing the sorrowful feelings of the graduates in separating from their old companions.
It is customary for each class to present a memorial to the school on passing out, therefore Hollis Fitz, president of the seniors, presented to the school two ornamental street lamps to be planted in front of the new auditorium when it is completed. Harold Shoebridge, president of the student body, accepted the gift on behalf of the school.
Prof. J. A. Clayes, principal of the school, also made a short address to the class, expressing the regret of the faculty at their leaving and giving them some excellent advice. S. D. Winters, president of the school board, then presented the diplomas.
Several members of the class expect to enter college next winter, while some will take a course in junior college.

HARPER PIG CLUB CELEBRATION
The pigs have made hogs of themselves in the Harper Pig Club. So it cannot truthfully be called a pig club any longer.
Sa'urday, July 10, has been set for the official close of the pig growing contest. The pigs will be assembled on the Harper school grounds for weighing and judging.
A good program is being arranged by the farm center committee. An invitation to all boys and girls in the county, who are interested in this work is extended by the pig club. W. R. Ralston, pig club leader for this district, will be one of the speakers. Free refreshments will be served. The meeting will begin at two o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the judges will announce the prize winners. The Newport National bank has offered cash prizes for the three highest winners.
At the meeting of the Harper farm center last Friday a committee of seven members were appointed to arrange the county fair exhibits for the big fall event at Huntington Beach.
Five dollars was voted to go toward prize money for the best farm center exhibit at the fair.
Mr. Logsdon reported that the sorghum mill was under construction and would be ready for operation soon. The sorghum fields look promising for the run this season according to his observations.
George A. Ruddock, one of the pioneer resident of Fullerton, died Friday, and was buried Sunday afternoon.
Close to a thousand people, representing practically every community in Orange county and more than 31 different Sunday school, spent Saturday at the Orange county park, the occasion being the first annual field day picnic of the Orange County Sunday School association. Auto loads of picnickers began arriving at the park early, and a continued stream of cars and trucks reached the park during the morning. The idea of the field day is a maximum of freedom and a minimum program, the schedule for the morning calling for the opening service at 10:45 and an address at 11 by George P. Taubman, men's Bible teacher of Long Beach. This was followed by a big basket lunch at noon. The afternoon program included securing attendance records at 1:30, athletic contests and games starting at 2, and awarding of banners and other trophies later in the afternoon.

GOPHER POISON MOST EFFECTIVE
W. C. Jacobson, state superintendent of rodent control, met with several groups of farmers last week under the auspices of the farm bureau to demonstrate the most effective methods of controlling the field rodents, more especially the pocket gopher, as it is the most destructive and most common in the developed farming areas.
Mr. Jacobsen pointed out that the increase in rodent population this year is due mainly to three factors: first, the ideal distribution of rainfall during the wet seasons, there being no

E. J. Borgmeyer, the Los Angeles architect, who is perfecting plans for the new theater building to be erected by Messrs. Head & Ingram, was in town last week conferring with the firm, and it is announced that probably within a week the plans will be completed, and actual work on the beautiful structure begun as soon as possible thereafter.

of rodent control, met with several groups of farmers last week under the auspices of the farm bureau to demonstrate the most effective methods of controlling the field rodents, more especially the pocket gopher, as it is the most destructive and most common in the developed farming areas.
Mr. Jacobsen pointed out that the increase in rodent population this year is due mainly to three factors: first, the ideal distribution of rainfall during the wet seasons, there being no floods to drown out the young litters in the subterranean nests; second, the increased supply of food; and third, the gradual killing off of natural enemies, such as hawks and snakes.
The young appear in December and January and if the feed is abundant a second litter is born in the spring. These seasons are the best times for controlling by poisoning.
The gopher has a fur lined pocket on either side of its mouth. Roots make the best bait.
Pocket gophers are caught readily in any of several makes of special traps commonly on the market, and a few of these will suffice to keep small areas free of the pests. For ridding alfalfa fields, orchards, and long stretches of ditch embankments of them, a very successful and much more practical method is to poison them by use of baits of sweet potato, carrots, or parsnips placed in their underground runways.
The baits should be cut about 1 inch long and ½ inch square, and washed and drained. From a pepper box slowly sift 1-8 ounce of powdered strychnin (alkaloid) and 1-10 of this quantity of saccharin (ground together in a mortar) over about 4 quarts of the dampened baits, stirring to distribute the poison evenly.
Often success is had with small pieces of dried fruit, prunes and figs, or whole raisins, such bait being coated with a starch paste solution of strychnine or preferably by inserting into a slit made in the fruit a small quantity of strychnine such as may be readily balanced on the point of a penknife blade.
Probes made for locating runways are conveniently made of ½-inch pipe. The shaft should be about 18 inches long with a solid sharpened point welded in; this screws into a "T". At right angles to the shaft a 6-inch foot rest screwwed into the "T" aids in probing in hard soils. The handle, about

It will have a frontage of 57 feet, and extends through to Oak street, giving it a length of 140 feet. The front will be artistic and attractive, a store room being built on each side of the lobby. The auditorium, which will seat 1000 people, will be finished in Egyptian style, while the lobby will be Spanish. A grand stairway will lead from the foyer to the balcony. One of the important features of the place will be a number of rest rooms. The building will be absolutely fireproof. An ample stage will be built especially to accommodate traveling companies, vaudeville or ministrel shows.
A pipe organ costing $10,000, the largest in the county, will also be installed to assist in furnishing music. The second story will be cut into suites of office rooms.
Just when the building will be completed the owners cannot say, but the work will be rushed, as it is the desire of Messrs. Head & Ingram to open it for business in the early fall. The cost of the building will be $75,000. Construction of such a house of amusement is a courageous undertaking, especially as we have two splendid剧aters here now, but the builders have unbounded faith in Anaheim and hold that its theater-goers deserve the best house in the county, and shall have it.
Owing to the high school graduating exercises coming on the same night, the Republican club meeting was postponed last Thursday evening to an indefinite date. It is hoped a Harding and Coolidge club can be established here with a membership that will in-
Probes made for locating runways are conveniently made of ½-inch pipe. The shaft should be about 18 inches long with a solid sharpened point welded in; this screws into a "T". At right angles to the shaft a 6-inch foot rest screwed into the "T" aids in probing in hard soils. The handle, about 3½ feet long and bluntly pointed, is screwed into the top.
Locate main runways by probing around mounds or between two mounds, striking the connecting runway which in general runs in a straight line between two mounds at a depth of from six to eight inches beneath the surface. The open tunnel can be felt as the point of the probe breaks in. The large end of the instrument is then used to increase the opening to the burrow and a bait or two can be placed therein by means of a straight sharpened wire or stock, after which operation the probed hole is best closed.
To check up on results, mark location of baits with sticks; 24 to 38 hours later open the burrows as these points. The runways remaining open indicate that the gopher inhabiting it has been killed. If the hole has been closed, the gopher is still alive.
One soon becomes expert in locating the runs, and a man can treat 300 to 500 gopher workings in a day. Bate need be placed at only two points in each separate system of 10 to 30 mounds, which is usually the home of a single gopher. Experience has shown that baits placed fairly in the open runs invariably kill the gophers. The method has found favor wherever introduced.
Owing to the high school graduating exercises coming on the same night, the Republican club meeting was postponed last Thursday evening to an indefinite date. It is hoped a Harding and Coolidge club can be established here with a membership that will include every republican voter in the city and its environments. The republicans are practically unanimous in endorsing the nominees of the Chicago convention. Before the convention the party here was composed of Johnsonites, Hooverites, Woodites, Lowdenites, and a few others who favored less prominent candidates, but now they are all Hardingites. This is a poor time for a republican to consider his personal preference of more importance than party success, and everybody appears to have buried the tomahawk and accepted the mandate of the convention with enthusiasm.
A wedding of unusual interest in Orange county was solemnized Tuesday when Miss Gertrude Potter, an Oakland society favorite became the bride of Albert Hartwell Bradford, son of A. S. Bradford of Placentia. Miss Potter has been the guest of friends in Fullerton for the past several days.
In using traps one of the small wire models should be used and placed in a runway which has previously been located by means of a probe and a small section dug out with a large spoon or shovel. Far more satisfactory results will be obtained by placing two traps in such a cot.
