FULLERTON FIRST IN POPULATION INCREASE OIL TOWN SHOWS A GAIN OF 156 PER CENT DURING THE DECADE Every City and Section in the County Shows a Remarkable Growth—Greatest Increase in the Seven Incorporated Cities—Orange Gives Up Second Place in the List to Anaheim Every city in Orange county shows a marvelous gain in population during the past ten years, as also the rural districts. When it became known that Anaheim had increased 110 per cent during the decade it was believed that this city would lead the percentage column, but belated figures just given out by the census department shows that Fullerton, our surburb on the north, has captured the blue ribbon, that enterprising city's increase being 156 per cent. We congratulate the oil town on its phenomenal growth, also that other oil town, Brea, which wasn't on the map ten years ago, but now shows a population of 1036 happy and prosperous people. Following is the population of the seven incorporated cities of the county: City Population Pct.

He also made a run in the second on Salveson sacrifice. Arch was given a real ovation. The Pasadena crowd gave every evidence of being afflicted with crab germ and the old grouch just wouldn't wear off. Salveson pitched a great game for the home team and to show how he held out it may be remarked he fanned the first two men up in the ninth spasm. Corb, who went up on the mound for the visiting team, must be the guy who put "Pass" in Pasadena for he was so wild during the first inning that his manager put the grappling hooks onto him and dragged him out. Duncan was substituted, and while he unpacked a variety of down shoots at times he became easy picking for the local herd and they made it so hot for him that another purple bedecked up valley lad was warmed up on the firing line, but he for some reason remained on the bench. From the best of underground information the visitors came in believing they had a cinch and were peeved and then some to find that they were outclassed. The home lads never showed up in better form and they played ball all the way. Two pretty double plays were pulled off that made Pasadena's eyes stick out like capital O's. The infield was as tight as a drum, and nothing got away. During the entire game the best visitors could do was to get a man on third, but when he strayed too far off that sack Bus Callan nailed him. The umpire called the runner out, which was right, but it almost started a rough house. The base referees used... being 156 per cent.

Every section of the county shows an increase, but the heaviest gain is in the cities. WOMAN'S WAGES A minimum wage order for all factories in California, based on a $16 weekly minimum for all experienced women and minor workers, was issued by the industrial welfare commission, effective September 25, 1920. The commission estimated that more than 20,000 employees would be affected by the order, which includes printing, bookbinding, engraving and lithographic establishments. Adult women are to be deemed experienced when they have been employed six months in any manufacturing industry, and minors, after nine months, according to the order. Women and minors may be employed as learners for less than the minimum wage of $16 under certain conditions. These conditions are that not more than one-third of the total number of female factory workers may Bus Callan piloted his bunch thru in fine shape. Bus has a long head when it comes to playing ball. Herman Stern appeared in the latest Palm Beach cut of trousers, straw hat, shirt and everything, and told his friends the latest funny stories. Tom Cone arrived with bells on and when ever something good happened Tom shimmied around the lot like a two year old. Duke Osborne came in early and helped tell 'em where to come to learn how to play real ball. Henry Adams and Homer Ames couldn't resist and were among front line rooters. Herman Noll was young again and took on all kinds of mirthfulness at the other fellow's expense. Horace Benjamin fetched his megaphone and the way he ragged the opposing batters must have got their goats. Lewis got a dandy two-bagger and a single, but the side was retired before he could cash in. "Bill" Schumacher stripped down to shirt and trousers, took great interest in the game, and handed you one of those campaign smokes. Jim Fay happened in to see if the gang was all there.

Women and minors may be employed as learners for less than the minimum wage of $16 under certain conditions. These conditions are that not more than one-third of the total number of female factory workers may be learners; that all learners must be registered with the commission at the end of two weeks' employment, while learners who are not registered, as required, will be rated as experienced workers. Adult women learners, the order provides, must be paid not less than $12 a week for the first three months, $14 the second three months, and not less than $16 a week thereafter. Minor learners are to be paid not less than $10 a week for the first three months; $12 the second three months; $14 the third three months, and not less than the minimum wage thereafter. Adult part-time workers, employed on an hourly basis for less than eight hours a day, are to be paid not less than 40 cents an hour for such work, while minor part-time workers are to receive not less than 30 cents an hour. The employment of women after 11 p.m., without a permit from the commission, is prohibited by the order. Such permits, it was announced, will define the conditions under which such night work may be performed, and will be granted only when the work is a continuous process, which cannot be controlled in any other way. If Mr. Wilson had been willing to accept the reservations which Lord Grey stated that Great Britain was perfectly willing to accept, we would have been in the league now.

"Bill" Schumacher stripped down to shirt and trousers, took great interest in the game, and handed you one of those campaign smokes. Jim Fay happened in to see if the gang was all there. The soft drink guy was on hand and passed out large quantities of the latest colored "sodie watter." Dick Fischle was there and yelled so loud that you could hardly hear the fire whistle. Manager Riley was all over the lot and did not let anything occur to spoil a perfect day. Good for Riley! Billy Knott blossomed out in new flannels, meanwhile torching up his usual two for a quarter smokes. Billy is getting to be a dude. Etchandy, who performed in right garden, has a great whip.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE AND THEY SAY The striking of oil in a well at Olive ought to make Anaheimers perk up a bit. This city owns an acre of land close by. A man from South Dakota is buying every vacant lot he can get hold of with a view of building a house there on, which he intends to sell to former friends and neighbors from the northwest who are headed this way. Maybe he has inside information. Model dairies with their many side lines, which are easily converted into money, are a good business to get into. Let there be more of them. A little muscle and a good stream of irrigation water will work wonders with a barren piece of land. Make the desert blossom like the rose. If some of the dreamers would come out of their trances and get down on earth again and tickle the soil with the hoe they would better themselves and the world in general. Buy an alarm clock and get busy. Thousands of acres of land are available for intensive cultivation, and people who are not afraid of work have fine chances to enrich themselves. Start something today. If that city sprinkling cart would hit upon some of these dusty alleys it would be great. It wouldn't hurt any nearby residents' feelings. The pencil pusher who writes that "the flames lighted up the heavens Italy as their native habitat, then the negroes shall claim Africa as their native habitat and shed their blood to maintain their claim. "We of this convention shall frame a bill of rights for the negro race and draw up a constitution that shall govern the destinies of all branches of the black race. The bloodiest of all wars is yet to come when Asia shall match her strength against Europe for the domination of the world. That will be the negro's opportunity to draw the sword for the cause of Africa redemption." This is fine, bold language. Negroes at their best have a real gift of eloquence. Whether it is destined ever to be translated into action is doubtful. The negroes obviously suffer a tremendous handicap in carrying out their plans. They are probably at their best in the United States, and while our negroes have made much progress compared with their original status, they still have a long road to travel in political and economic development. As for Africa, it is a vast continent, with the richest fringes of it held by strong white races; and the negroes, unorganized, divided into many tribes, with many languages, are mostly savage. Can American negroes organize their race throughout Africa? Possibly—in a thousand years. In Liberia where the natives have had absolute freedom, and every opportunity, they have accomplished practically nothing in half a century. POLAND BETRAYED One of President Wilson's most insistent points was for "an independent Polish state which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r while and r While the French entered Damascus Thousands of acres of land are available for intensive cultivation, and people who are not afraid of work have fine chances to enrich themselves. Start something today. If that city sprinkling cart would hit upon some of these dusty alleys it would be great. It wouldn't hurt any nearby residents' feelings. The pencil pusher who writes that "the flames lighted up the heavens beautifully" is still on the job. But they are darned expensive. The Santa Ana canyon road is an important highway, thousands of people from the upper counties using this avenue in going to the beaches. It would be fine for this city if the west side of the Olive bridge was in better shape. It's an old story. With the flagpole in the center of the street and a nice big hole in the pavement at the corner, autoists passing through town Sunday morning were busier than a 'one legged buck and wing dancer in trying to keep out of trouble. Just one thing after another. A young man won $25 on a wager the other day by putting seven glasses of malted milk under his belt at one sitting. Gee, what a thirst! The other evening as people were coming out of a theater loud and raucous male volces were heard emanating from a nearby place. Sounds like a rough house, a woman said. If people who are wishing for a city park would just step over to Cypress street they would see a dandy little recreation grounds under way. Great oaks from small acorns grow. Parents should keep their young children off the streets. Some autoists have poor eyesight. Promoters of a park and dance pavilion say that since the town is slow in creating a park they will furnish one. But this is a horse of another color. A Chinaman came in on the train one day recently carrying two large, heavy suitcases up from the depot. Presently he set one down carrying the other fifty yards, then retracing his steps for the other, which he carried to where its mate had been left POLAND BETRAYED One of President Wilson's most insistent points was for "an independent Polish state which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence should be guaranteed by international covenant." This sounded good tosome hundreds of thousands of Polish voters in the United States. But last week when the Polish minister asked for a statement on behalf of Poland which would cheer her in her hour of grief, he was put off with the reply that nothing would be said at this time. Poland is threatened with extinction by the Russian bolsheviks. To save her would mean a vast undertaking for the United States. The state department, subservient to the president has egged the Poles on with what have amounted to assurances of American support, although these assurances had not the authority of congress. Now that the administration discovers itself in another muddle growing out of its pestiferous disposition' to meddle in European affairs, it is trekking for dry land and Poland can go hang for all it cares. The Poles should not hold America accountable for this failure to make good the false pledges of the administration. They should blame their own leaders for relying on the unauthorized promises of Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Wilson himself for holding out false representations to them IMMIGRANTS AVOIDING N.Y. An official of the Ellis Island immigration state reports an unusual movement of immigrants to inland centers. Up to the present year by far the largest bulk of incoming aliens remained in New York City, most of them permanently. Now the trend is toward manufacturing cities, such as Pittsburg, Detroit, Akron, and other places, and to the coal and iron mining regions. The money changing division of the Ellis Island station finds that the money changed for immigrants whose destination is New York City is not one hundredth part including these smaller vessels, American tonnage on June 30, 1920, was distributed to the trade as follows: Registered for the foreign trade, 2541 ships of 9,531,190 gross tons; enrolled for the coasting trade by sea, 863 ships of 1,747,551 gross tons. The year's increase has been almost wholly in ships registered for foreign trade. A CITY OF MEMORIES When the French entered Damascus recently they raised their standards on a battlefield that has run red for ages. Damascus, oldest city in the world, was venerable in the days of Abraham. It was walled and closed against infidel invasion until Ibrahim Pash captured it in 1832. On one of the minerets of the Great Mosque, according to a Moslem tradition, Jesus will sit on the day of judgment. From the hills that stand like sentinels*in the distance, Damascus looks like an old painting with its wierd piles crouched on the banks of Abana as if to escape the eyes of some marauder. When Uz, son of Aram, laid it out he picked the river and the hills as the chief considerations in a plan to supply scenery and water. Then it became the prize of Tiglath-pileser. In later year it fell before Alexander the Great. In 64 B.C. Pompey captured it. When Paul visited the city it was in the hands of Aretas, king of Arabia. During the world war armies encroached on the wilderness environs of the city, but there was nothing there worth their while. Within the cosmopolitan hordes of Persians, Circassians, Anatolians and Turks mingled, strangely indifferent to what was going on at their doors. Within two miles of the city wild men and banditti roam unmolested Promoters of a park and dance pavilion say that since the town is alow in creating a park they will furnish one. But this is a horse of another color. A Chinaman came in on the train one day recently carrying two large, heavy suitcases up from the depot. Presently he set one down carrying the other fifty yards, then retracing his steps for the other, which he carried to where its mate had been left upon the sidewalk. These relays he continued and finally the Mongolian and the suitcases arrived at their destination in Chinatown. The chink was either frugal or had plenty of time and shoe leather. AFRICA FOR AFRICANS It is an ambitious enterprise undertaken by the leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in its big convention in Madison Square Garden, New York. They aim at nothing less than the "redemption of the negro race" and the recognition of Africa as the black man's continent, free from domination or intrusion by any other race. "Africa for Africans" is their motto. Delegates have come from every country in the world, 12,000 in all. What is good for the white man is good for the negro" declares Marcus Garvey, organizer and head of the movement. "That is freedom, liberty and democracy. Two million black men were called out to fight that the world might enjoy the benefits of civilization and 400,000,000 black men are ready to fight the battle of democracy on the fields of Africa. "We have no apology and on compromise to offer; the negroes of the world shall do no less than strike for freedom. If the English claim England, the French France, and the Itali- MORE POTATOES "Window shopping" for potatoes is all that many people have been able to afford for several months, but relief is promised thru the abundance of this year's crop, according to the agricultural legislative committee. Over 400,000,000 bushels will be produced this year, which is 12 per cent more than last year, and somewhat axove the ten year average. There has been some surprise that following a season of high prices, the acreage planted this year has shown an actual decrease, but this is due to the fact that the price to farmers did not reach $2 until after January 1, when most of the crop was in the hand of the dealers.

LOWER CALIFORNIA Throughout the tubulent years in Mexico, peace and quietude has reigned in that section of the country known as Lower California, and it has been generally conceded that this has been the best-governed state in the Mexican republic. According to Mexican standards, Esteban Cantu has been a good governor, and the hope has been entertained on this side of the border that he would continue in charge of the affairs regardless of who occupied the White House in the Mexican capital. At this time it appears that in the event of the success of the Cantu rebellion, the Lower California governor will either become president of Mexico or Lower California will become a free and independent state, and later apply for admission as a territory under the shadow of Old Glory, and later become the 49th state in the Union, in a similar manner in which the great state of Texas became an integral part of this republic. Governor Cantu has probably been assured of powerful American aid, which, of course, will have to be of the subrosa variety. Some day the United States of America will include all of the territory in the Western hemisphere, north of the Panama canal. Senator Harding's question: "Has the nominee taken over the various and unknown commitments of the administration's foreign policy." Governor Cox's answer: "What he (Mr. Wilson) promised, I shall, if elected, endeavor with all my strength to give." "My heart is in the grave with Caesar," Mark Anthony, and William J. Bryan echoes him. Cheer up, William! Mark Anthony came to bury Caesar, and you can do the same for Cox.
