ANOTHER INCREASE FOR OIL WORKERS Horizontal Raise of 75 Cents a Day Announced A horizontal increase of 75 cents a day for oil field workers of California, with additional 25 cents contingent upon the absence of labor troubles for a year, was agreed upon by representatives of workers and operators, who have been in conference for several weeks with a federal mediation board. About 15,000 men are affected. The advance is a flat increase over the existing wage scale of oil field workers of all grades. The lowest paid permanent workers, known as "roustabouts" will receive about $5.75 a day under the new scale, which is in effect for fourteen months, expiring August 31, 1921. These men had asked $7.50. Migratory common labor is not affected by the agreement. The recent raise of board by the Standard and Union oil companies from $1.25 to $1.50 a day was met in the agreement by the other companies. Although the Standard and Union did not figure in the negotiations, having separate agreements with their men, the federal mediators said they undoubtedly would follow the lead of the rest. In the opinion of the mediators, E. P. Marsh, C. T. Connel and Col. J. L. Spangler, the contingent increase has been of great importance in preventing labor troubles and diminishing the labor turnover. It was embodied in the agreement drawn up last year, and a few weeks ago Hywel Davies of Los Angeles, the federal adjuster in the oil industry, ruled that its provisions had been lived up to and the men entitled to the extra money. The increase is retroactive, covering the $10,000,000,000 war debt which Europe owes the United States. Mr. Wade's high financial connections seem to class him as an authority in such matters, until one discovers that he is an American only by adoption, and a member of the advisory committee of the division of finance and purchases of the Wilson roadroad administration, to the stupid inefficiency of which is largely due the nation's car shortage putting a tax of millions of dollars a day upon the people. FULLERTON ALSO RENTS For some reason or another, the city of Fullerton is without a public owned home, and the so-called "city hall" is a rented one in a building owned by the Fullerton Improvement association. And being a renter, the municipality is beginning to find out how renters are treated, and like many individuals, may end up by buying and building a municipal home and being its own landlord. Fullerton got a taste of the High Cost of Renting last week, when notice was served upon the trustees by the improvement association, saying that after August 31 the rooms now occupied for city offices will cost the city $10 a month, an increase of 110 per cent over the present rent. The association directors feel that they are justified in the rise from the fact that there is a strong demand for business rooms and they could get more than twice as much from a business firm as the city has been paying.

It was embodied in the agreement drawn up last year, and a few weeks ago Hywel Davies of Los Angeles, the federal adjuster in the oil industry, ruled that its provisions had been lived up to and the men entitled to the extra money. The increase is retroactive, covering the entire life of the agreement. The operators have until forty-five days after expiration of the agreement to make the payment. General working conditions were not changed in the new agreement, but a system of shop or grievances committees elected by the men was provided. These committees are to make all possible adjustments with the operators before calling in the federal adjuster. Each man will receive $91.25 a year through the contingent wage increase, it was estimated, while the cost to the oil operators will be about $1,368,000. ADVICE TO THE JUDGE “If I were Judge Cox, I'd revise my motor vehicle schedule,” declared an automobile driver a day or two ago. “I haven't any objection to jailing the fifty-mile-an-hour speeders, but that is not where I'd put down my foot on the brake the hardest. “The fellow I'd send to jail just as regularly as he showed up would be the fool driver who tries to pass an automobile while another automobile is approaching within 300 feet, the distance mentioned in the law. “Enforcement of the speeding laws through Judge Cox's well known jailing habit has unquestionably cut down accidents due to speeding. The fact is, today a large share of the accidents that occur in Orange county are due to cutting-in, the passing of another automobile in reckless and unlawful fashion. "The man out on an open road going fifty-five or sixty miles an hour jeopardizes the lives of those he meets and passes, and for that he deserves real jail. "But for every life that is jeopardized in Orange county these days by speeding, there are forty that are jeopardized by drivers who get in too big a hurry to pass the machine in front. There isn't a Sunday goes by fact that there is a strong demand for business rooms and they could get more than twice as much from a business firm as the city has been paying. CALIFORNIA MINERAL INDUSTRY Compilation of the final returns from the mineral producers of California for 1919 has now been completed by the statistical division of the state mining bureau, under the direction of Fletcher Hamilton, state mineralogist. The total value amounted to the sum of $196,473,560 worth of crude materials. There were 50 different mineral substances, exclusive of a segregation of the various stones grouped under gems; and of the 58 counties of the state, all but one contributed some mineral product. As compared with the 1918 output the notable features of 1919 are: The continued increase in petroleum valuation, and the decrease in the so-called "war minerals," chromite, copper, magnesite, manganese, potash and tungsten. Despite decreased valuations totaling over $18,000,000 shown by a number of substances, the result is a net decrease of only $3,280,277 in the grand total value, owing to the great increase by petroleum. Of the metals: Copper decreased from m;7,793,041 pounds and $11,806,-883 to 22,162,605 pounds and $4,122,246; quicksilver approximately one-third in quantity and one-half in value; lead and tungsten to about one-tenth; manganese to one-half. Gold and platinum were the only metals to yield increases and they were small proportionately. Petroleum increased from 99,731,177 barrels and $127,459,223 to 101,182,962 barrels and $142,610,563. Natural gas also decreased. Several of the structural and industrial minerals decreased in 1919, as compared to the 1918 figures, notably: chromite, a drop of $3,552,333 in value; magnesite, with $361,398; and limestone, $208,113, the last named being, in part, the result of the closing down of copper smelters which use limestone for flux. Increases are noted among others, for brick and tile, "miscellaneous stone" (crushed rock, sand and gravel), and pyrite. Of the salines, potash decreased $4,393,013 in value, with borax and soda exhibiting smaller drops. California yields commercially a greater number and variety of mineral products than any other state in the United States, and probably more... The man out on an open road going fifty-five or sixty miles an hour jeopardizes the lives of those he meets and passes, and for that he deserves real jail. But for every life that is jeopardized in Orange county these days by speeding, there are forty that are jeopardized by drivers who get in too big a hurry to pass the machine in front. There isn't a Sunday goes by that does not bring a lot of law-breaking by drivers who ignore the state law on passing. Last Sunday afternoon as I drove up the hill this side of Newport Beach I saw four different drivers pass machines unlawfully. Invariably the machine that is passed has to swerve out or slow up in order to keep from being hit. In that short space of time the lives of twenty-five or thirty people were put in jeopardy. And that's no joke. If I were Judge Cox, I'd make it an iron-clad rule, such as he is capable of making and living up to, as he has proven, to send every last cutter-in convicted in my court to jail. And, the automobile-using public would stay with him. And, the same thing holds good for the fool driver who passes another automobile on a turn where the road is not visible for at least 300 feet ahead, and it holds good for the fool driver who passes another machine on an intersection."

Wade, president of the Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis, and chairman of the committee of five, representing the American Bankers association at the recent Paris meet of the International Chambers of Commerce, advocates the can- NO FORGIVING DEBS In Russia, where a man may be punished for opposing the powers that be, or in Mexico, where a man may be punished for almost anything, there is such a thing as a "political prisoner," but such a term has no application in the United States. A man can be convicted in this country only after trial by jury in which all twelve of the jurors must agree that the accused is guilty of a crime defined by the statutes. Mr. Debs is not a political prisoner, his is a convicted criminal. ANAHEIM GAZETTE BEET GROWERS HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Los Alamitos Association Elects Officers for Coming Year The annual meeting of the Los Alamitos Beet Growers association, was held at their office Tuesday evening, about fifty of the beet growers being present. Elections of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Directors: W. A. Draper, president; George Verstuyft, O. L. Simmons, Arthur Vanneste, Leo. Vlasschaert; Hugh T. O'Connor, secretary. Topics of vital interest to the farmers were discussed, and resolutions passed for closer affiliations with the farmers organizations of the country. The directors were authorized to take steps toward securing permanent legal advisor, and also representation in the general farmers congress. As the contracts under which sugar beets are raised for the Southern California factories are based on a sliding scale of payment, according to the average price received by the factories, for their output of sugar each year, a special fund was voted the directors for the purpose of keeping more accurately in touch with this phase of the beet growers' interests than heretofore. Retiring President Frank Merkle who had efficiently served the association for several years past was tendered a cordial vote of thanks. URGES AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN A telegram from Raymond Benjamin of the republican state central committee urges Judge Phil D. Swing, now uncontested candidate for congress on the republican ticket, to continue his campaign without abatement. The failure of B. W. Sinclair to get his name on the ballot for the forth- Nevertheless, when we are sick, we call a doctor, and take his medicine and directions with great fortitude. We know that doctors are, as a class, earnest, self-sacrificing men, who do a good deal more for other folks than they are ever paid or thanked for. But we don't favor their idea of forcibly medicating well people, and particularly we oppose the medication of healthy children. A clean child, free from disease, is not a menace to the health of other children, and it should not be barred from school, vaccinated or unvaccinated. There have been a lot of vigorous fusses about this vaccination business. The doctors point with pride to the fact that smallpox has nearly, though not quite, disappeared. But about the time doctors began to experiment with cowpox, and serums, and things like that, they also began to experiment with soap and water. In other words, they found out that cleanliness of body and house and yard and street was one of the best preventatives of disease on earth. It was considerable of a discovery, for everybody and nearly everything was dirty in those days. As cleanliness increased, diseases of fifth began to weaken, and entirely to disappear in spots. Smallpox flourished in dirt, and retreated before the advance of soap, just as other like diseases retreated, in company with lice, and bedbugs and pests of that kind. The great plagues that break out in the world usually come from places where dirt flourished—China, and India and the desperately famine-racked districts in Austria today. Some day the doctors will proudly adopt the bar of soap, the vacuum cleaner and the sanitary washrag as the emblem of their profession, and their work in preventive medicine will serve in saving America. Harding, which it puts as follows: "Is he for the ratification of the covenant and the league of nations with the Lodge reservations for which he voted twice in the United States senate? "Or is he against the covenant and against the reservations for which he twice voted? "For or against? For or against?" If the repetitive inquirer should cast its eyes over Senator Harding's speech of acceptance, it could answer by itself, without Harding's or anybody's help—Evidently not. If the reiterative questioner should shuffle its mind over to ward Senator Harding's words it could answer by itself—Unquestionably not. If the jumpety investigator could keep its mind on Senator Harding's words for a minute it could answer by itself—Absolutely not. The Wilson covenant of the league of nations with reservations was the best that could be hoped for as long as its creator was in the White House. But with Mr. Wilson to be out of the White House, Senator Harding said: "I promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as a republican congress can pass its declaration for a republican executive to sign." Senator Harding said: "It will avail nothing to discuss in detail the league covenant which was conceived for world supergovernment, negotiated in misunderstanding and intolerably urged and demanded by its administration sponsors, who resisted every effort to safeguard America." Senator Harding said: "With a senate advising as the constitution contemplates, I would hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the consecration of nations to a new relationship, to commit the moral forces of the world, America included, to peace and international justice, still leaving America free, independent and self-reliant." URGES AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN A telegram from Raymond Benjamin of the republican state central committee urges Judge Phil D. Swing, now uncontested candidate for congress on the republican ticket, to continue his campaign without abatement. The failure of B. W. Sinclair to get his name on the ballot for the forthcoming primary election now leaves Judge Swing in undisputed possession of the field. Sinclair himself lost no time what-ever in offering his support to Judge Swing. He and his forces have lined up to put Swing across at the November election. Swing expressed deep regret that matters should have taken such a turn. "It was only fair to the voters," he said, "that they should have been given an opportunity to express themselves at the primaries." "I deeply appreciate the splendid sportsmanship displayed by Mr. Sinclair in offering me his support. We will both work together to make this a republican year for the eleventh district." SUPER-STATE FLAG George Harvey characterizes the flying of the French flag on the White House on Bastille Day as a "graceful and worthy performance," but he adds: "If the flag of one foreign nation is thus honored, every other friendly nation has theoretically a right to expect similar treatment; which would mean that some foreign flag would be flying over the White House a good part of the time—at least one week the year round." But, George, President Wilson has already suggested a plan involving less labor; he would run up permanently to every flag-staff in the land the polychrome rag of his super-state, detail the secretariat of the league of nations as a guard of honor, and if any nation attempts to haul it down, shoot her on the spot. CALIFORNIA LEADS IN BARLEY California will lead all states in the production of barley again this year but not by such a wide margin as in 1919, according to government reports for July. Although North Dakota has had a considerably large barley acreage both years, she has not been able just as other like diseases retreated, in company with lice, and bedbugs and pests of that kind. The great plagues that break out in the world usually come from places where dirt flourished—China, and India and the desperately famine-racked districts in Austria today. Some day the doctors will proudly adopt the bar-of-soap, the vacuum cleaner and the sanitary washrag as the emblem of their profession, and their work in preventive medicine will consist in seeing that the world keeps clean. They will bury the vaccine-point and the serum needle along with the bleeding-cup and the dried barnyard-offal prescriptions of earlier days, and most of the medicine bottle will go with them. The surgeon and the sanitarian will keep up the finer traditions of a craft that, though often mistaken, has given much thought and pain and genuine kindness to the welfare of its fellowmen. In the meantime, the proposed constitutional amendment will not prevent anybody from being vaccinated if they want to be.—S. F. Daily News. VICTORY MEDALS There is a curious situation as regards the Victory Medals issued for the soldiers and sailors of the World War. The war department had several millions of them struck off, so that every man entitled to one could have it. Preparations were made to distribute them at the rate of 35,000 a day. Since the distribution began, on June 21, only a little over 50,000 of the medals have been issued. The service men are not applying for them. Application is easy enough, too. All that the eligible veteran has to do is to make a request, in person or by mail, at the nearest army post or recruiting station, accompanying it with his discharge papers, which will be returned. But few will take the trouble. The fact is that the average American cares mighty little about medals. The service men are proud of their records, but do not feel like advertising the matter by flaunting baubles of any kind. It is a praiseworthy mingling of self-respect, however, that their children and grandchildren would prize those medals highly. CUT A MELON Checks aggregating $300,350 were just as other like diseases retreated, in company with lice, and bedbugs and pests of that kind. Senator Harding said: "With a senate advising as constitution contemplates, I would hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the consecration of nations to a new relationship, to commit the moral forces of the world, America included, to peace and international justice, still leaving America free, independent and self-reliant." Senator Harding said: "The program is specifically American and we mean to be Americans first to all the world." This guarantee, "The program is specifically American," tee-totally and eternally lets out President Wilson's un-American nightmare of internationalism. GOT TO RAISE $5000 "We are going to sell boys, and that is how we are going to raise $5,000 for carrying on Boy Scout work in Orange county for the next year." This was declared by Attorney M. B. Wellington of Santa Ana, chairman of the Orange county council of the Boy Scout of America. That a drive for raising $5,000 in this county will be made about September 15 has been decided by the executive committee of the county council now being organized. Those on the committee are M. B. Wellington, Fred Newcomb, Dr. Horton, W. C. Jerome, Dr. Rowland, Walter Vandermast, Dr. Patton and Mac O. Robbins. This committee has selected a budget for the coming year's expenses. That budget includes an item of $2,300 for the salary of a Boy Scout executive, a man who is to devote all of his time to carrying on Boy Scout work in the county, an item of $600 for an automobile, and $2,000 for maintenance of an automobile, for camp ground expenses, literature, incidentals, etc. A thoroughly trained executive is to be selected for the county. He must be a man who is interested in boys and boy work, who knows the Boy Scout program, who has executive ability and leadership, and who will work untiringly. The plan for raising the money is unique. It is proposed to have no less than 500 boys of Orange county organized into Boy Scout troops as soon as possible. The county expense total is to be $5000 which will be administered upon request by each county administrator.

CALIFORNIA LEADS IN BARLEY California will lead all states in the production of barley again this year but not by such a wide margin as in 1919, according to government reports for July. Although North Dakota has had a considerably large barley acreage both years, she has not been able to measure up to the California production. The nation's crop promises to be 16 per cent larger than last year, but not up to the five year average. COMPULSORY VACCINATION One of the constitutional amendments on which Californians will vote next fall provides that: "No form of vaccination, inoculation or other medication shall hereafter be made a condition for admission to or attendance in any public school, college, university or other educational institution in this state." It's a good amendment. It always was a dark mystery to us why any clean and healthy child should be compelled to have a raw place scraped on its arm and diseased pus from a sick calf daubed on the sore, before the child could be admitted to school. We have no quarrel with doctors. We recognise that they have changed their minds and practices a very great number of times, as the trade of doctoring has advanced. We know that they blush a little at the things doctors used to do no longer ago than a middle-aged doctor can remember. We surmise that 25 years hence the doctors will blush a bit at things that doctors are doing now. CUT A MELON Checks aggregating $300,350 were being received Saturday by orange growers affiliated with the Santiago Orange Growers association of Orange, comprising the payment for the June pool, which took in the month of June and the last week in May, in making a total payment to growers to date of close to a half million dollars. This is in spite of the alleged "car shortage" and "labor shortage" of the early summer months. The association has yet to ship only abolt 30 per cent of the fruit remaining on this date last year, and there is every prospect for a continuing strong market price. The payments on the July, August, September and October pools, yet to be made, are expected to bring the total payments to growers to approximately $1,500,000, as compared with last year's total payment of $972,000, according to Manager R. E. Gross. This will represent an increase of approximately 50 per cent in receipts despite a crop less in volume than last year. HIS ATTITUDE IS PLAIN A Wilson organ, perhaps on the whole the ablest, the most militant and the most genuine Wilson organ in the country, never registering its perfervid devotion at less than 120 in the shade, gets up, sits down and gets up again to ask one question of Senator A thoroughly trained executive is to be selected for the county. He must be a man who is interested in boys and boy work, who knows the Boy Scout program, who has executive ability and leadership, and who will work untiringly. The plan for raising the money is unique. It is proposed to have no less than 500 boys of Orange county organized into Boy Scout troops as soon as possible. The county expense total is to be $5000, which will be $10 a boy. It is proposed to conduct a campaign by which a canvasser can go to a man and say something like this: "How deeply interested are you in boys? Let me sell you a boy? It will cost you $10 for the next year as your share in making that boy develop rightly toward manhood." IS IT WORTH IT? Dr. Ebright, president of the state board of health, estimates that it will cost $250,000 to rid California of mosquitoes and malaria. Is it worth it? A quarter of a million dollars is one street-car fare apiece for every manwoman and child in California. It would not have to be paid every year, but just once. After that the expense of keeping the state free might be a cent a year apiece. But the first year it would be six or seven cents. Which means that the man of liberal means might have to pay $5, for his whole family, while the poor man might pay from a few cents down to nothing. A cent or a dollar, according to your means—is getting rid of mosquitoes and malaria worth it? We are paying from six eight times that amount now, for having the mosquitoes. Counting human discomfort, human sickness and human deaths nuts as follows: ification of the coveage of nations with nations for which he United States sentate the covenant and nations for which he For or against?" quirer should cast for Harding's speech should answer by itning's or anybody's it.

It costs six or eight times as much to have mosquitoes as not to have them. And it costs it every year, while the biggest part of the no-mosquito cost would be paid only once. But even if it had to be paid every year, then it would still cost us from $1,250,000 to $1,750,000 less than nothing to get rid of the mosquitoes, besides saving many lives, much suffering and universal discomfort. We can get rid of the mosquitoes for nothing, and make a million and a half profit on the investment. It is worth it? Then let's do it!

August is the month in which much of the winter vegetables should be planted. There is also time to plant some of the early maturing summer vegetables, too. Soak your ground thoroughly, make basins and fill them with water. This is one of the best ways of getting the ground wet. When fit, work the soil to a depth of ten or 12 inches, getting it in nice fine condition for planting. It is a good plan, and it will pay too, to soak and work up the ground twice before planting during the summer months. The main planting of fall potatoes is put in during the first ten days of advising as the contributes, I would hope nations of Europe proposing that unmakes us a willing consecration of nationship, to commit the world, America and international America free, inf-rallant."

STANDARD REMEDIES FOR GARDEN PESTS To the home gardener at midsummer with his maturing crops there are a host of insect pests and plant diseases which need prompt treatment. To recognize these various troubles and to apply the right remedy immediately often spells success or failure in the garden. The formulas given in the various bulletins and circulars call for large quantities and require considerable knowledge and often complicated apparatus for mixing. In the average small garden, as a rule, small quantities are needed, therefore it is wiser to buy the standard remedies, which are put up in concentrated form. The container always have the directions printed on the outside and in a few moments a large or small dosage can be prepared. It is well to hold in mind that the remedy applied should be properly administered and every successful gardener should have a good spray pump and a strong power belows. For chewing insects, such as cabbage worm, bettles, etc., the standard remedy is arsenate of lead applied either in the spray or powder form. To make a small amount use 1 tablespoon of arsenate of lead to 1 gallon of water. In applying in the powder form the poison is more adhesive if mixed with a small portion of hydrated lime. Sometimes white flour is advised. It often happens that some of the chewers are hard to kill. In this case the dosage should be doubled or Soak your ground thoroughly, make basins and fill them with water. This is one of the best ways of getting the ground wet. When fit, work the soil to a depth of ten or 12 inches, getting it in nice fine condition for planting. It is a good plan, and it will pay too, to soak and work up the ground twice before planting during the summer months. The main planting of fall potatoes is put in during the first ten days of August, although plantings may be made an time during the month. It is always advisable to treat the seed, dipping them in either a solution of formaldehyde or corrosive sublimate for the prevention of scab and rhyzocortonia, diseases that greatly reduce production. Dwarf or bush beans may be planted. During the early part of the month put in Stringless Green Pod or Refugee beans, while the latter part of the month Canadian Wonder and Ventura Wonder should be used. Pole beans planted this late are almost sure to mildew and rust. Sweet corn planted during August will make roasting ears in ten or 12 weeks. Use Golden Bantam and Country Gentleman for sweet corn and Early Adams for something quick and hardy. Cucumbers and summer squash will still make and will be greatly appreciated during the hot weather of the fall. It is too late now to plant winter squashes and melons, as the frost would get them before ripening. For planting the hardier vegetables—most of them have small seed—the ground should be in especially fine condition and well supplied with moisture. The seeds of these should be planted deeper at this time than in the spring, because the ground dries out so fast that unless they are covered a couple of inches the seed are in dry soil before they germinate, or, what is worse, they germinate and then dry out and die and the seedsman is accused of selling poor seeds. Make plantings for winter use of Egyptian beet, Half Long carrot, Swiss chard, Curled endive, New York lettuce, kohl rabi, Bermuda onions, either sets or seed, paraley, parsnips, radishes, spinach, White Globe turnips and Stratagem or Admiral peas. Sow in beds cabbage, cauliflower and kale seed for transplanting. Tomato and pepper plants may be set out in frost-less sections for winter use.

It will the next year as your that boy develop manhood." WORTH IT? President of the state estimates that it will aid California of mosquitoes. Is it worth it? Million dollars is one piece for every man in California. It to be paid every year, after that the expense state free might be a fee. But the first year for seven cents. Which man of liberal means pay $5, for his whole poor man might pay down to nothing. A according to your rid of mosquitoes with it? Give from six to eight at now, for having theunting human discom-ness and human deaths. For chewing insects, such as cabbage worm, bettles, etc., the standard remedy is arsenate of lead applied either in the spray or powder form. To make a small amount use 1 tablespoon of arsenate of lead to 1 gallon of water. In applying in the powder form the poison is more adhesive if mixed with a small portion of hydrated lime. Sometimes white flour is advised. It often happens that some of the chewers are hard to kill. In this case the dosage should be doubled or hand-picking resorted to. This is often necessary in eradicating squash bugs and tomato worms. For sucking insects, like aphis, one of the best remedies is Blackleaf 40, used with just enough soap solution to make it spread well. One or two teaspoons to a gallon of water will mix a small amount. As aphis, especially on cucumbers and melons, are on the under side of the leaf, an angle nozzle should be used in spraying. Kerosene emulsion is often used, but it is apt to burn delicate foliage. Soap solutions are often helpful in treating plant lice. Use 1 1-4 inches of laundry soap to 1 gallon of water. Mildews, rusts and red spiders do no end of damage, and all are arrested and prevented by using fine, dry powdered sulphur. Apply with a powder bellows or dusting sprayer. These troubles are eradicated by the sulphur fumes. Therefore it is necessary to apply the sulphur properly. Mixing with a little hydrated lime makes the sulphur more adhesive. Do your sulphur dusting early in the morning on a warm, clear day when the dew is on the vines. Beans are less liable to red spider attacks when they are thoroughly irrigated and cultivated and kept in a healthy condition. There are a number of blights, the most troublesome ones being those Egyptian beet, Half Long carrot, Swiss chard, Curlled endive, New York lettuce, kohl rabi, Bermuda onions, either sets or seed, parsley, parsnips, radishes, spinach, White Globe turnips and Stratagem or Admiral peas. Sow in beds cabbage, cauliflower and kale seed for transplanting. Tomato and pepper plants may be set out in frostless sections for winter use. Dust the corn that is coming into silk with dry arsenate of lead powder; dust beans with sulphur to check mildew and to kill red spider. According to a ruling received Monday by County Clerk J. M. Backs, Orange county voters registered as progressives or prohibitionists and taking part in the August primary election will receive the non-partisan ballot when they go to the polls on election day. They will also receive a sample of the non-partisan ballot through the mails. The same is true of those who declined to state their party affiliation in registering and those registered as non-partisan. The only officers upon which these voters will be allowed to cast their ballots will be in those coming under the non-partisan rule, such as the county and state judges and supervisors. There are two judges to be elected in the county this year and in the second district court of appeals three places are to be filled. Two vacancies in the state supreme court also are to be filled and two Orange county supervisorial districts—the first and third—elect supervisors this year. The only names appearing on the non-partisan ballot will be those of the candidates for the above-mentioned offices. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.
