EXTOL SOLDIER BONUS AS PASSED BY HOUSE Designed to Give Youth Who Served in War a Fresh Start in Life By an overwhelming three to one vote the republican house has registered its approval of a cash bonus to the soldiers of the war against Germany as part compensation for the woes they endured for the country during the struggle. Representative Roscoe McCulloch of Ohio thus summed up the case for the soldiers: "The American soldier not only made the supreme sacrifice, left his business, and the opportunities for personal advancement he had in prospect and that the emergency offered, but he paid his own way largely. The soldier knows what few people realize; and that is that after he had taken care of the demands that were made upon him he had very little left out of the $30 a month pay. The allotments for his dependents were taken out of his pay, his war risk insurance premiums were taken out of his pay, so that at the end of the month the average soldier did not have much left." "The absolute necessity for reducing appropriations and strict national economy is apparent to everybody, but we should not begin on the American soldier, because we have been very lavish and very liberal in making appropriations for the purpose of taking care of all other interests. We appropriated millions of dollars to validify incomplete contracts. We appropriated millions of dollars for the relief of peoples in foreign countries. There seemed to be no limit to the demands and no hesitancy in responding to the demands for lavish appropriations. Child Mortality," and Dr. Pearl B. Magill of Santa Ana on "The Underfed Child." WORLD BUYING DIAMONDS Diamonds have recently retailed as high as $1000 a karat for the finest water compared with $200 prior to the war. Now jewelers are expecting a slump and say that all signs point to a lessening of the demand for not only gems but all kinds of jewelry. There were periods last year and early this year when New York city dealers sold $1,000,000 worth of jewelry daily and the demand came from every walk of life. "There is no country in the world outside of the east that is wearing so much jewelry these days as the United States," said one leading Maiden Lane dealer, "and so far we have been unable to keep up with the demand." Leading American merchants have been scouring Europe for the finest gems and owing to the impoverished condition of Europe, have able to obtain the cholestest gems and the best workmen from across the water. New York can now boast of the services of some of the finest goldsmiths, silversmiths and platinum workers and has engaged the leading Europeans in the work for its shops. When the war ended most of the watchmakers had huge quantities of wrist watches on hand and some in the trade feared it would be impossible to get rid of them, but their doubts were groundless, for the civilian population greedily absorbed the war stock in the ensuing year and demanded more. Now the Fifth avenue jewelers are selling weekly thousands of wrist watches set with diamonds at prices which range from $300 The June drop does lemons quite so hard average condition over past three years was dropped to 83 and 84. Cherries are a better year, but plums shining off. Cherries sit 88, compared to 80 in 1918. The conditions about 70, compared. Almonds are a worse condition in the ranging from 10 p crop. For the state normal crop is in to 75 one year ago average of 72. Walnuts this year cent of a normal 105 last year and one of 88. The grape prosper very good, more x normal conditions fruits. Detailed report until next month. FOUR COUNTY OF GET Supervisors Raise $15ive Officers Four county offices are made by pervisors were given increases running f month.

Warrant No. 1 Sturgeon & Cook, we should not begin on the American soldier, because we have been very lavish and very liberal in making appropriations for the purpose of taking care of all other interests. We appropriated millions of dollars to validify incomplete contracts. We appropriated millions of dollars for the relief of peoples in foreign countries. There seemed to be no limit to the demands and no hesitancy in responding to the demands for lavish appropriations. Everybody seemed to be protected in a material way who had anything to do with the war except the American soldier, and I am in favor of adjusting his compensation by providing a bonus, and I think it should be done without quibbling and without delay. We spent billions of dollars, uselessly for which the government received no adequate return. The floodgates were thrown down and a golden stream was allowed to flow away. Members of congress were called upon to support bills making these lavish appropriations under the lash of the executive whip and in the name of patriotism. Now we have a chance to do something for the real patriots who served and suffered and bore the brunt of the war. "The provisions of this bill may help to give thousands of soldiers a start. Some may not need it or want it, but all are entitled to it, and I trust that the bill will pass and become a law without delay." Representative Frear of Wisconsin, one of the members of the ways and means committee, which reported the bill, said: "We have worked upon these bills as a committee faithfully. We have reported this bill and have been waiting to be heard for two or three weeks. We secured what we believe is the best bill that we can get out of the committee. I would like to have had it different, but it is far better than if the bill had been burdened with a sales tax, as was first proposed. It provides what? First, a method of taxation covering a period of three years, which reaches expensive cigars, with an increase of 15 per cent on certain tobacco. It exacts $5 on every $1,000 of all real estate transfers. It reaches incomes of over $26,000, and adds to the present rate 3 per cent with a small increase below that amount. It does not touch widows and orphans or the average man, because they are not engaged in stock When the war ended most of the watchmakers had huge quantities of wrist watches on hand and some in the trade feared it would be impossible to get rid of them, but their doubts were groundless, for the civilian population greedily absorbed the war stock in the ensuing year and demanded more. Now the Fifth avenue jewelers are selling weekly thousands of wrist watches set with diamonds at prices which range from $300 to $3000 apiece. As one diamond merchant put it, "It is evident that the wonderful little circle of South African diamond kings who control the stocks of diamonds of the world have been letting the world get all it wants at existing high prices." JUNE ESTIMATE ON CALIFORNIA'S CROPS Is Not so Good as Last Year Says Government Agent The June report issued by E.E.Kaufman, field agent of the federal bureau of crop estimates, on the condition of the fruit crops, is not so rosy as that of similar date last year. The heavy crop of last year, followed by a dry winter, left the trees in more or less of a weakened condition. Unfavorable weather at blossom time generally prevailed, and practically every section suffered frost damage. Wind and rain prevented fertilization, while bugs and plant diseases both collected a heavy tax in some localities. All in all, conditions are very spotted, more so than for a number of years making it exceedingly difficult to submit a report for the whole state that will seemingly apply to any particular county or district. Peaches show the best condition of any of the deciduous fruits, being on June 1st, 87 per cent of a normal, compared to 100 last year and a ten-year average of 82. Santa Clara district reports a condition of 96, Sacramento valley 85, San Joaquin 73, while the percentage of the crop produced in the different districts brings the state to 87 per cent of a full crop. Pears show a condition of about 70 per cent of a normal crop, compared to 92 one year ago, and a ten-year average of 83. An irregular and unfavorable blossom period, with touches of pervisors were giving increases running for month. The $50 increase in the cases of County McBride and County Health Officer A.H.

Leading osteopaths from almost every city in the west were in attendance. Many interesting clinics were conducted and the Bellevue hotel lobby was turned into a miniature Osteopathic hospital as a result of the convention. A number of eye, ear and nose and throat clinics were conducted by Doctors T. J. Ruddy and W. V. Goodfellow of Los Angeles, L. L. Hull of San Francisco and H. E. Penland of Berkeley. Dr. Harriet M. Bigham of Anaheim spoke on "Prevention of Infant and compared to 100 last year and a ten-year average of 82. Santa Clara district reports a condition of 96, Sacramento valley 85, San Joaquin 73, while the percentage of the crop produced in the different districts brings the state to 87 per cent of a full crop. Pears show a condition of about 70 per cent of a normal crop, compared to 92 one year ago, and a ten-year average of 83. An irregular and unfavorable blossom period, with touches of frost, all helped a little. The commercial (boxed) crop is about 71 per cent of a normal. Early apples in Sonoma, largely Gravenstein, are good, about 95 per cent of a normal crop. Prunes blossomed irregularly and suffered from frosts and thrips, while normal, compared to 100 a year ago and a ten-year average of 78. Apricots particularly show the effects of last year's heavy crop, besides wind, rain and frost at blossom time. Brown rot and shot-hole fungus damaged the crop in the counties around San Francisco. A lessened percentage of the crop shipped and canned and a greater percentage dried is now predicted. Conditions indicate but 55 per cent of a normal crop, compared to a ten-year average of 71. Orange prospects are good at the present time, being 94 per cent of a normal, compared to 99 last year and a ten-year average of 92. The June drop is yet to be reckoned with, so a forecast of production is impossible at this time. The average condition for the past three years on June 1 was 97, on July 1 only 71 and August 1 but 58. Lemons are 93 per cent of a normal crop, compared to 95 one year ago and a ten-year average of 90. Home canning-ance during the important this year indications as the United States culture.

The average condition on June 1 for the past three years was 95, on July 1 it dropped to 83 and on August 1 to 73. Cherries are a better crop than last year, but plums show a decided falling off. Cherries show a condition of 88, compared to 80 last year and 78 in 1918. The condition of plums is about 70, compared to 81 last year. Almonds are a very spotted crop, conditions in the different counties ranging from 10 per cent to a full crop. For the state, 60 per cent of a normal crop is indicated, compared to 75 one year ago, and a ten-year average of 72. Walnuts this year are only 80 per cent of a normal crop, compared to 105 last year and a ten-year average of 88. The grape prospects appear to be very good, more nearly approaching normal conditions than do the tree fruits. Detailed reports are not made until next month. FOUR COUNTY OFFICIALS GET INCREASED PAY Supervisors Raise Salaries of Appointive Officers $25 and $50 Four county officials whose appointments are made by the board of supervisors were given monthly salary increases running from $25 to $50 per month. The $50 increases were made in the cases of County Engineer J. L. McBride and County Physician and Health Officer A. H. Domann of Orange. The $25 increases were given to County Purchasing Agent F. W. Slabaugh and Dr. H. E. Zaiser, superintendent of the county hospital and poor farm. Warrant No. 15819, payable to Sturgeon & Cook, out of the county made of 1 part sugar and 9 parts water will make palatable any of the acid fruits. Such fruits as apples, pineapples, and the like can be canned without sugar. In fact, ordinary glucose or corn syrup may be substituted for sugar in making the syrup. A palatable syrup is made by mixing $\frac{1}{2}$ cup sugar, 1 cup glucose, and 8 cups of water. It requires about 7 ounces of sugar for a pint jar. One cup of sugar will make 10 cups of syrup. A pound of sugar will make 20 cups. This last amount will be sufficient for 20 pints of canned fruit. Where the 10 per cent syrup is used the cost of the sugar to can a pint jar is $\frac{1}{2}$ cents with sugar at 30 cents a pound. It is not so expensive after all.

"The action of the tide in spreading out the rock at the jetty has given us a better foundation on which to work," said Wallace, "and it has also made the channel deeper and naturally more safe for travel by incoming and outgoing boats. The washing away of sand at this point, which allowed the rock to settle and spread out, will make the initial expense in extending and enlarging the jetty greater, but I feel that the elements have done the city a great favor." Wallace said he would advocate that the city of Newport Beach vote a $50,000 bond issue at once; the total amount to be used in the purchase of The resignation of Leo Borchard as director of Talbert drainage district was accepted; W. W. Bushard was appointed to fill the unexpired term. Supervisor Wassum was appointed representative to attend highway meeting to be held at San Francisco on June 19 at 10 a.m. CANNING NECESSARY THIS YEAR Home canning—of utmost importance during the war—will be just as important this year, according to present indications as they are viewed by the United States department of agriculture. The shortage of labor on the farms makes it necessary for the canneries to pay high prices for the commodities that will be canned later in the season. Labor in the canning factories is expensive and difficult to obtain. Everything, from cans to cartage costs, has increased in price, and transportation is slow and more expensive than it was in war times. All this increase must be paid by the ultimate consumer; and there is not even assurance that there will be enough canned products to go around. The solution is home canning. That sugar is higher in price than it has been hitherto is advanced by some as a reason for canning either less fruit or nothing but vegetables; but unless one intends to give up sweets altogether there seems no good reason for not using canned fruit on account of high-priced sugar. There are few desserts that do not take from one-half to one cup of sugar, and no dessert is more healthful than fruit. It is not necessary to use such thick syrup as was used in the days of plenty.

HIGH TIDE BENEFICIAL TO COUNTY HARBOR Spread Out Rock at Jetty and Washed a Deeper Channel A high tide Tuesday night which at two or three points below Balboa swept over the sand spit, cutting channels through from the ocean to the bay, was Wednesday looked upon by harbor enthusiasts of Newport Beach as one of the best things that could have possibly happened in connection with the harbor work now under way. Lew H. Wallace, secretary of the harbor commission, Wednesday stated that the high tide coming at this time was one of the best things that has ever happened so far as the establishment of a harbor is concerned. What, at first appearance, seemed to be a disaster is today looked upon as an asset. Top rocks on the jetty were displaced, but this is held to be of ad- About the only damage that has been done was suffered by Contractor Ledbetter, who has the contract for the county's jetty extension. Ledbetter will have drive all new piling for his trestle out to the end of the jetty, instead of using the old piling, which has now been smashed up, and in consequence declares he will not make any money on this contract. With the jetty flattened out and waves breaking over it at high tide the entrance channel is declared as being unsafe at high water but at medium and low tides and when the water is quiet boats may continue to go in and out of the harbor at will.
