CHANGES FROM STATE BANK TO NATIONAL GOLDEN STATE OPENED ITS DOORS MONDAY UNDER THE FEDERAL BANKING SYSTEM Established Fifteen Years Ago the Popular Institution Has Made Steady and Uninterrupted Progress—Applied for National Charter Year Ago—Last Statement Shows Resources Passes the Million Mark At noon Saturday the Golden State Bank closed its doors as a state institution, opening for business Monday morning as "The Golden State National Bank of Anaheim." A year ago the officials of this institution applied for admission into the family of national banks, complying with all the requirements of law, but procrastination on the part of federal officials delayed the transfer from the state to the federal system. President Thomas, however, finally prevailed on the authorities to take action and the drainage project for the Cypress district will be one of the first considerations taken up by the new center. The officers elected to direct the affairs of the center for the coming year are S. H. Bowman, president and representative to the county farm bureau; Mrs. Jones, vice president and George Miller, secretary. Several directors of the farm bureau were present to welcome the center into the county bureau. President W. M. Belding, Secretary J. R. Schofield, Director J. J. Dwyer of Anaheim and Director W. Dean Johnston of Westminster all spoke in behalf of tre county organization. Professor W. W. Weir discussed the "Need for Drainage in the Development of Cypress." The Cypress ladies furnished a splendid program of music and refreshments through the able leadership of Mrs. Dugan. ACCIDENT TO MRS. NEFF Word has been received here of a serious accident which before Mrs. J. B. Neff at Fillmore several weeks ago, shortly after she and Mr. Neff departed in their automobile for a tour of the north. Mrs. Neff has written Mrs. H. A. Neff of this city, giving particulars of the accident. While visiting with friends at Fillmore they started for an auto trip about the town in their friends' car, when they were Bank closed its doors as a state institution, opening for business Monday morning as "The Golden State National Bank of Anaheim." A year ago the officials of this institution applied for admission into the family of national banks, complying with all the requirements of law, but procrastination on the part of federal officials delayed the transfer from the state to the federal system. President Thomas, however, finally prevailed on the authorities to take action and the bank assumed its new name Sunday, August 1. This bank is the successor of the German-American bank, which was founded in October, 1905, by H. W. Chenoweth, with a capital of $30,000. In January, 1917, Adolph Thomas purchased Mr. Chenoweth's interests and for a number of years it flourished and gradually grew, with Mr. Thomas as president and Charles A. Boege as cashier. Mr. Boege finally severed his connection with it to become cashier of the newly-organized Southern County bank, and A. B. McCord was elected cashier. Mr. McCord later resigned his position going to the Anaheim National, and E. E. Smith, the present cashier, took his place. When this bank started, fifteen years ago, the population of Anaheim was probably one-third of the present day figure, and the wealth of the surrounding country was only a small percentage of what it is today, but the business of the institution gradually grew. In its fifth year the capital stock was increased to $50,000, and a year ago again increased to $75,000. The Golden State National began business Monday with a capital stock of $75,000 and a surplus of $25,000. Always under wise and conservative management and directed by popular officials the bank has more than kept pace with the growth of the community, and is now one of the solid financial institutions of the county. A few years ago, feeling the need of better quarters, the directors purchased the Schumacher building at the northeast corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, tore out the old brick building which had housed the S. Q. R. store for several years, and put up a handsome and substantial building, constructed especially for the bank's use. During the war with Germany, notwithstanding the fact that the officers, directors and employees were one hundred per cent loyal, worked indefatigably with the government, and its ACCIDENT TO MRS. NEFF Word has been received here of a serious accident which before Mrs. J. B. Neff at Fillmore several weeks ago, shortly after she and Mr. Neff departed in their automobile for a tour of the north. Mrs. Neff has written Mrs. H. A. Neff of this city, giving particulars of the accident. While visiting with friends at Fillmore they started for an auto trip about the town in their friends' car, when they were run into by another car, and Mrs. Neff sustained serious injury to her knee. She remained three weeks at Fillmore, being unable to leave the house. She was later taken to her sister's home in Oakland by Mr. Neff and remained there a month. She was able last week to get about on crutches. Mr. Neff expects to return here with his wife about the middle of the month. SANTA ANA BOOZE Six drunks were handled in City Recorder Heathman's court at Santa Ana Monday morning—and Santa Ana has been dry for years and the nation ditto for the past year. City Recorder Heathman is perplexed—the patent medicine drunk brigade seems to be increasing. He taxed the drunks the usual first offense fine of $10. He warned them that the next time they appeared before him for a similar offense, he would give them a straight thirty-day jail sentence. "It beats the Dutch how these people will go to patent medicines in order to get the kick," said the recorder. "I am determined to break up the ring if possible. I am giving them warning of impending danger. If they will not heed the warning, they will have 30 days on the hill in which to solloquize—to take stock and see where they are getting to, how they are undermining their system and bringing reproach on their family names." Five of the six were white, the other a Mexican.

The directors changed it to the Golden State Bank, and under this name it has been nationalized. By square dealing with its patrons and uprightness in its dealings with all it has won success, and will continue to expand. The last statement assured at the close of business June 30, shows the total resources aggregate $1,006,057.59, the deposits reaching $903,381.26. The officers are Adolph Thomas president, Louis Denni and Fred Koesel vice presidents, E. E. Smith cashier and E. M. Everett assistant cashier. The directors are Adolph Thomas, Wm. Stark, Louis Denni, E. E. Smith, C. F. Grim, Fred Koesel and W. A. Bonynge. CYPRESS ORGANIZES FARM CENTER A full house meeting greeted the new farm bureau center at Cypress school house last Monday. The whole community was out to help christen the baby center. For some time Cypress has felt the need of a community organization to which they might refer their local problems. A request from thirty residents of Cypress asking for a center there was approved by the directors of the farm bureau in June. A voice has been raised on behalf of Moses Gibson, the sodden criminal who murdered Roy Trapp, the Fullerton rancher as he slept in his bed, and then criminally assaulted his wife after knocking her senseless with a hammer. The fiend has since confessed to seven other murders and hundreds of burglaries and is one of the most depraved criminals of modern time. He was grateful at being permitted to die on the scaffold instead of being left to the justice of the friends of his victims. Now that he is in his cell, awaiting the day of execution, communication has been made to the governor from Housewives Union No. 1 of Santa Clara county asking for executive consideration and possible clemency in the case of Gibson. Presumably it is the colored women who make the request, for the charge is made that "when a Negro is the culprit the white man feels it his peculiar privilege to indulge in any amount of brutality." The brutality thus far shown Gibson by the white man consists in locking him up in a stone cell to keep avengers from bolling him in oil. Housewives Union No. I has not helped its reputation any by asking special consideration for Moses Gibson. The housewives of America will want to know by what right and authority this dubious group of unionists lays claim to an ancient and honorable title. Mike Lopez, George Hatfield, George Hansen and Bert Kern went up to Ventura county the first of the week in search of deer. If they fail to bring home a buck or two it will be because there are none in Ventura county.

T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, said that the board expected to put on a stiff rate for maintenance work when the tax rate is set next month. He thought possibly it would not be a good policy for the board to make a high rate to of the petitions. The organization will be represented by the legislative committee, composed of J. W. Duckworth of Anaheim; N. LeMarquand of Fullerton and F. P. Jayne of Santa Ana. "Business is going on the rocks and the fundamentals of the laws of this nation are being attacked," declared Frank Tyrrell, prominent lawyer and orator of Los Angeles in an address on better Americanism in the interest of the Better America federation. Tyrrell held his auditors in close attention with his eloquence and lucid explanation of the situation which today is confronting the business interests and threatening the very foundation of this republic. He recited the activities of the boltshevists and the efforts that are being made to spread propaganda to incocate the people of this country with the virus of discontent and spoliation of the wealthy, declaring that thousands of dollars were being spent through various channels of propaganda. He urged support of the federation, morally and financially, in its objects of preserving this government for the whole people and not for any particular class. He warned against the attempts being made by the boltshevists to obtain control through organized effort to put men of their persuasion in power. He declared for the open shop and the right of any individual to work or not, as he pleased.

Bessie Green, aged about 17 years, had visited with friends in Fullerton and returned here on a stage. She got off the bus at the intersection of Lemon and Sycamore street and proceeded to walk to her home on North Claudina, near Sycamore. When she got to the corner of Los Angeles street a man who was standing in a darkened spot, grabbed the girl. She screamed, but the man played his hand over her The good roads situation occupied most of the time at the associated chambers meeting held at Huntington Beach Inn Wednesday evening, but the talk was mostly about repair work, little being said about new construction. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, said that the board expected to put on a stiff rate for maintenance work when the tax rate is set next month. He thought possibly it would not be a good policy for the board to make a high rate to raise funds for new work in view of the high cost of construction work of today, but he was of the opinion that it would be a good economical policy to place a heavy tax to protect roads that are going to pieces. He stated that when the original system was built in this county the cost was from $9500 to $10,000 per mile, today it is around $20,000. He thought it would be best to go a little slow on new construction until conditions become more stable. The board is limited to 10 cents per hundred dollars valuation on each 100 miles of improved highway, which makes the limit to which it might go in taxing for maintenance about 13 cents, there being about 130 miles of highway. Under the new county assessed valuation this will bring in about $130,000, which sum can be increased from the general fund $40,000 to $50,000, making between l170,000 and $180,000 available for repair work. Cutting of the highway for running pipe lines and the excessive speed of heavily laden trucks also came in for a round of discussion. Lake declared that a fleet of trucks is hauling sand from the vicinity of Garden Grove to Long Beach, carrying a load of seven or eight tons and making twenty miles an hour. They are breaking down the road over which they are traveling and he thought something should be done to stop the speed of the trucks. It developed that the state law limits trucks where the load and truck weight is 24,000 pounds or more to a speed of ten miles an hour. It is presumed the trucks operating to Long Beach weigh five and a half tons, which, with a load of seven or eight tons, would make the drivers amendable to the law. The associated chambers, on motion of Lew H. Wallace, will support the district attorney in the prosecution of all violators of the traffic laws, and the legislative committee will cooperate with the district attorney in various channels of propaganda. He urged support of the federation, morally and financially, in its objects of preserving this government for the whole people and not for any particular class. He warned against the attempts being made by the bolsheviks to obtain control through organized effort to put men of their persuasion in power. He declared for the open shop and the right of any individual to work or not, as he pleased. He regretted the lack of interest on the part of business men in local and national politics ad government, and pleaded for a keeper activity on the part of business men in the selection of men to represent them in city, county, state and national government.

Hersm, University of California, says: "I wish at the young owman was made about 11 o'clock Saturday night. Bessie Green, aged about 17 years, had visited with friends in Fullerton and returned here on a stage. She got off the bus at the intersection of Lemon and Sycamore street and proceeded to walk to her home on North Claudina, near Sycamore. When she got to the corner of Los Angeles street a man who was standing in a darkened spot, grabbed the girl. She screamed, but the man placed his hand over her mouth to prevent a further outcry. The frightened girl collapsed and fell to the ground. The man picked her up and when endeavoring to carry her away the young woman loudly called for help. Neighbors came to their doorways, but made no attempt to arrest the fellow. He became frightened and releasing the girl made his escape. Officers were summoned and made a hurried call to the scene of the attack, but failed to find any trace of the culprit. Marshal Steadman interviewed the young woman, but she was unable to give a good description of her assault, although she says she believed he was a Mexican. The local police and county officers are working on the case and in all probability an arrest will soon be made, as they have a good clew to work upon. During the past two or three months several young women have been accused upon the streets by strangers while they were on their way from their places of employment, which in some instances is late at night. Some citizens are talking of forming a committee to work in conjunction with the police with a view of apprehending these annoyers of young women. It is said a coat of tar and feathers awaits the culprit if he is caught. In some sections more drastic measures are resorted to by infuriated citizens. Young women who occasion to be out late at night should be accompanied by male escorts. The local officers are also ready to see that young women who are compelled to be out at night are seen safely home, and upon several occasions have gone with them as escorts when so requested.

Wallace, will support the district attorney in the prosecution of all violators of the traffic laws, and the legislative committee will cooperate with the district attorney in the matter. With reference to cutting the pavement for pipe lines, Col. Finley stated that no one can make such a cut without permission of the supervisors and that such permit carries an obligation on the application to have the work done and the pavement replaced under the supervision of the road maintenance department of the county. H. C. Hallmark, general freight agent for the Southern Pacific, asked that the chambers send a delegation to the hearing before the railroad commission on August 16 on application of the Southern Pacific, Pacific Electric and Salt Lake for permission to make certain improvements that would offer relief to congested conditions obtaining in Los Angeles. The Salt Lake and Southern Pacific propose the use of the latter's depot, with an elevated road to take all passenger trains off of Alameda and restrict that street to freight trains, while the P. E. wants to construct certain elevated roads to offer quicker egress and ingress to Los Angeles. Opposition to the applications has developed through an effort on the part of some interests to effect a big union depot. Taking the position that this section is directly interested in better facilities for reaching Los Angeles, Hallmark asked the assistance and influence of the chambers in behalf Professor W. B. Hersm, University of California, says: "I wish at the very outset to direct a word of caution in the use of poisons in fly control. This may seem out of place, but many do not know that the usual fly poisons contain cobalt or arsenical poisons and every year numbers of infant fatalities are traceable to the careless use of these. For that reason it is best to specify that formalin should be used in weak dilutions (1 to 11-2 per cent) at which strength it would not be easy to drink a fatal quantity. "Proper dilution may be made viz: Formalin, 1 part; canned milk or sour milks, 1 part; sweetened (sugar or syrup), 1 part; water, 24 parts. "For household use the measurements may be by tablespoonfuls or where large quantities are used measure by pints. The poison is used as follows: "Place a thin slice of bread or bread scraps on a plate or saucer (tin pans may be used) and pour over this about half a pint of above mixture or enough to saturate the bread and leave some of the liquid free. Then place the receptacle where flies are most abundant. Since the formalin evaporates within a few hours a fresh mixture should be added two or three times daily. Flies drinking this mixture are killed in the course of a few minutes, usually falling within four or five feet of the plates." WALNUT WORM ACTIVE AT THIS SEASON State Officials Making a Fight Against the Pest The walnut worms are doing their worst right now. In the orchards where arsenical spray or dust has been used, the worms are taking a chance on death with every bit of walnut hull they eat. In the orchards where no control methods have been used, the worms are merrily chewing their way to the kernels of the nuts. The fight against the pest is being conducted under the guidance of state officials. Prof. H. J. Quayle is head of the directing force, and he has three expert assistants. They are Paul H. Kerrick of the Riverside experiment station, George Vansel, loaned by the Kentucky experiment station and Roy K. Bishop of Orange, a thoroughly trained entomologist. Dusting and spraying for the second brood of codling moth worms is now about over with. It was planned by the experts to have the poison placed on the trees in time to catch the brood of worms that is now feeding. There are three broods hatched out each summer, and the one that does the most damage, because it is the biggest, is the second brood, which is now at its maximum hatch. Most of the walnut shells are well enough formed now so that the worm cannot bore straight into the kernel. However, the pesky borer too often finds the tender stem end of the shell and gets through that way. The GATTACK OTHER GIRL WAYLAID ON HELES STREET SATURDAY be a Mexican ing Woman and to Drag Her to a Screams Brought wars—Police Sumt Escaped assault upon a made about 11 nt. Bessie Green, years, had visitFullerton and reage. She got off section of Lemon and proceeded to North Claudina, then she got to the les street a man a darkened spot, the screamed, but hand over her September brood does not do nearly so much damage as the brood now at work. The poison that is spread upon a tree covers the hulls of the green walnuts. When the eggs laid by the codling moth hatch out, the worms get to work on the hull. In boring in, the worm gets a taste of the poison and that kills him. No harm is done to the walnut unless the worm eats long enough to get through the hull and shell into the kernel. If the worm gets a taste of arsenic he won't live to get through the kernel. That is the theory upon which the control work is being conducted here. Records kept during the first season's fight against the worm a year ago convinced the experimental experts that arsenical dusting and spraying accomplish results. Further proof is to be presented as the result of the experiments now being made. Four walnut orchards are in the hands of Prof. Quayle and his assistants. In each of these orchards plats have been arranged and numerous experiments are being made, some with dusting for the first brood only, some dusting for the second brood only, some dusting for both broods, some where sprays are used, some where nothing at all is done, etc. Absolute checks on costs are being kept so that it will be determined exactly how much it costs per tree to dust and spray and how many pounds of PACKING HOUSE ENDANGERED BY FIRE OLD DREYFUS WINERY MENACED WHEN TWO STACKS OF BAR-LEY STRAW BURN John Cook Loses Two Thousand Dollars' Worth of Straw by the Blaze—Anahelm Fire Department Helpless on Account of Low Pressure, Fullerton Responds to S.O.S.

Giving a Fight Against Pest TO STOP CONTINUOUS VOTING ON SINGLE TAX During the past eight years the property owners of this state have been compelled to defend the rights of their property against repeated efforts of the single tax faddists to fasten their unjust law upon the state of California. Should it become a law it would effectively bankrupt every man who has put his savings in real property. The amendment to the constitution which will be on the ballot in November, requiring a 25 per cent petition on all initiative measures to besubmitted to the voters on matters pertaining to the assessment and collection of taxes, if carried, will effectively stop the continuous voting on the single tax menace. The amendment offered by the People's Anti-Single Tax League of California does not change or affect the referendum provision of the constitution; nor does it change the initiative except in matters pertaining to the assessment and collection of taxes, in which case it raises the number of signatures to be obtained from 8 per cent to 28 per cent. This will not be impossible to obtain for any measure on which the people are well informed, but will be impossible for such half-baked theories as single tax. The initiative since its adoption in California, has only been used six times in matters of taxation—five times to inject the fallacy of single tax into noon the old Dreyfus winery building southwest of town, now used by the Randolph Marketing company as a packing house, was in danger of ending its long life in smoke, and but for the arrival of the Fullerton fire truck with its pump attachment, probably would have been destroyed. The fire started in a stack of baled straw near the building, belonging to John H. Cook. Mr. Cook recently purchased a quantity of straw at Montebello, and was engaged in hauling it home by truck. Two stacks of 85 tons had been built near the packing house and another truck load weighing six tons had just arrived and was being unloaded, when one of the stacks was discovered on fire. An alarm was turned in and the Anaheim department speedily responded, but inadequate water facilities made their work inefficient. The Fullerton department, which has a pump attachment on its engine, was summoned and arrived on the scene an hour later. Mr. Cook's pumping plant, a quarter of a mile from the packing house, was started up, the fine engine was connected with it, and soon a heavy stream was playing on the fire. The straw was reduced to ashes, but the big building received little damage. A small boy and a match are said to have started the blaze, as several children were playing around the stack at the time. When the fire was discovered the truck was backed away from the stacks and the load saved. Eighty-five tons were in the two stacks consumed, and Mr. Cook estimates his loss at $2000. Some of the fire boys were considerably peeved over the fact that they have no pump on their engine and consequently could not control the fire alone. On other occasions they have been handicapped at fires in the outskirts of town by lack of a pump, and they will probably petition the trustees to add a pump to their equipment. Members of the board of trustees were present during the fire and observed the effective work of the Fullerton pump, and it is probable the Anaheim department will be given a pump. The big brick structure which was so seriously menaced by the fire was built nearly half a century ago by Ben Dreyfus for a winery, at a cost of $40,000. A year or two after it was built the disastrous grape blight destroyed practically all the grapes in this vicinity, consequently Mr. Dreyfus found his occupation gone. The local officers note that young worms will be to be out at my home, and upon them have gone with them so requested.

My borer too often end of the shell that way. The SUPERIOR PERUVIAN ALFALFA Peruvian alfalfa has decided advantages over other varieties for those sections of the United States where it will grow, say forage experts of the United States department of agriculture. This should be taken as applying to the true or hairy Peruvian alfalfa and not to the so-called smooth-leaved Peruvian alfalfa. This latter name the specialists regard as unfortunate, as it leads to confusion in the seed trade and gives unscrupulous dealers an opportunity to make excessive profits on mixed seeds. The "smooth Peruvian is hardly distinguishable from common alfalfa." The principal advantages of Peruvian as compared with common alfalfa are its more rapid growth, quick recovery after cutting, and ability to grow in cooler weather, thus furnishing more pasturage during the winter and in the fall and early spring. The territory in which common alfalfa could be profitably replaced by Peruvian includes a comparatively narrow strip down the Pacific coast and along the Mexican border and observed the effective work of the Fullerton pump, and it is probable the Anaheim department will be given a pump. The big brick structure which was so seriously menaced by the fire was built nearly half a century ago by Ben Dreyfus for a winery, at a cost of $40,000. A year or two after it was built the disastrous grape blight destroyed practically all the grapes in this vicinity, consequently Mr. Dreyfus found his occupation gone. The building has stood vacant or been occasionally used as a storehouse since then until two or three years ago when the Randolph Marketing company began using it as a packing house. The Fullerton fire boys are deserving of, and receiving thanks for their prompt response to Anaheim's call, and their effective work in saving this building. Iowans are to picnic at Bixby park, Long Beach, on Saturday, August 14. This is the great annual summer outing and picnic reunion of the Hawkeyes, and thousands of them are expected to be present. the Gulf, thence up the Atlantic coast to the vicinity of Charleston, S.C. It can not be grown to advantage where the winter temperature fall below 10. This alfalfa was first introduced into this country by the United States department of agriculture in 1899. The earliest introductions were not perpetuated, however, and it was not until 1903 that considerable efforts were made to produce a supply of seed. The subject of the Peruvian alfalfa industry is discussed in detail in department of agriculture circular 93, just issued.
