PROHIBITION CANDIDATE SPEAKS IN ANAHEIM Nominee for Vice President Will Be Here This Afternoon Four addresses are to be delivered in Orange county on Thursday, Sept. 2, by D. Leigh Colvin of New York, Prohibition party nominee for vice-president of the United States. Colvin is to make a campaign by automobile through Southern California. Announcement was made in Santa Ana that he would arrive there about noon on Thursday, and that he would speak at Birch Park for thirty minutes, commencing at 12:30 o'clock. The schedule calls for twenty minute addresses at Orange at 1:30 o'clock and at Anaheim at 2:30 o'clock, and at Fullerton at 3:30 o'clock. Thursday evening he is to talk at Riverside. The following statement concerning Colvin appears in a circular received here: "D. Leigh Colvin, Prohibition candidate for vice-president, was born near South Charleston, Ohio, January 28, 1880. "Few men have had an education so definitely directed towards national public service as Dr. Colvin. Since graduating from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1900, he has spent five years in post-graduate study in the University of California, the University of Chicago, and Columbia University. His field of study was largely confined to subjects relating to governmental and political problems. He received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science from Columbia. He is the author of an outstanding work on legislative methods. "In his prohibition work Colvin has been not only the head of the college movement, but he is prominently identified with most of the temperance ed in the growing of perishables in Imperial Valley, have suffered severely by reason of improper marketing of their products. It is estimated that during the past year of the 7000 carloads of lettuce shipped from Imperial Valley that the individual growers in many instances did not receive any return from their product. This, it is stated, is due to the great speculation and waste that takes place between the grower and the ultimate consumer. Mr. Britt, who, with Mr. Bigelow, has just returned from a tour of the Imperial and Coachella Valleys, states that the growers in both these sections of the state are so eager for organization into co-operative marketing associations that there will be a 90 per cent affiliation the first year. The State Market Commission is preparing the different marketing agreements, by-laws and constitution and will aid in the incorporating of the different groups into nonstock, nonprofit, co-operative marketing associations. In connection with the crop situation Mr. Britt states that in the Imperial Valley alone this year there will be an increase of cultivation over last year of more than 150,000 acres. He states that during the year just closed many hundreds of acres of onions in the Coachella valley were left to rot in the ground by reason of the fact that the growers were unable to properly market their crops. The co-operative marketing idea which has been pioneered in California is now being taken up by almost every other state in the Union. It is the opinion of the State Market Commission that it will not only increase production, which is essential at this time, but that by the elimination of waste and speculation will decrease the price of necessities to the consumer." It is now practical that Newport Mesa ritory. This is the who have watched Well No. 1 of the Lanyard.

"In his prohibition work Colvin has been not only the head of the college movement, but he is prominently identified with most of the temperance and prohibition organizations. He is secretary of the National Legislative Conference, vice-president of the National Temperance Council, and vice-president of the World Prohibition Federation. "He was the Prohibition candidate for U. S. Senator from New York in 1916 and for mayor of New York City in 1917. "He served as captain in the army, having been one of four officers in the entire army who were assigned to speak to men in the promotion of patriotism." STATE JOINS HANDS WITH FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Selling Associations Will be Formed in Many Centers In an effort to eliminate speculation and waste in the distribution of food products from the grower to the consumer, the state of California has joined hands with the federal government in a concerted move to assist the growers of this state in the proper marketing of their products. This movement is now under way, backed by all of the state commissions and departments having power or regulation over food commodities produced here. The work, which is under the personal supervision of State Market Director Daniels, will be carried out in connection with the farm bureaus in the different counties of the state and the staff of the state department of agriculture, as well as the federal bureau of markets. In response to numerous inquiries from growers of farm products in various sections of the southern part of the state, Mr. Daniels has instructed Fred N. Bigelow, secretary of the State Market Commission, and James P.* Britt, director for Southern California, to make a careful investigation as to the possibility of bringing the fact that the growers were unable to properly market their crops. The co-operative marketing idea which has been pioneered in California is now being taken up by almost every other state in the Union. It is the opinion of the State Market Commission that it will not only increase production, which is essential at this time, but that by the elimination of waste and speculation will decrease the price of necessities to the consumer. NEW RIVER CHANNEL TO MAKE SILTLESS PORT Good Progress Made in Changing the Mouth of Santa Ana The work of cutting a hole through the sandpit to open the Santa Ana river channel into the ocean will be started in a day or two. The jetties for the river's mouth are practically finished. The making of a new exit for the Santa Ana river was one of the first works undertaken by the Orange County Harbor Commission under the $500,000 fund provided by the county bonds. The new exit was found necessary in order to prevent the river from carrying silt into the harbor. Two rock jetties from the sandpit into the ocean have been built. At least the west jetty is finished and the east jetty will be finished in a day or two. The ends of these jetties rest on a solid rock ledge in twelve feet of water. Hitherto the river channel has come down almost to the sandpit then turned east toward the bay. The plan to be carried out does away with the turn. The river channel will be built into the sea. Between the lowlands where the channel now is and the sea is a body of sand through which the new channel is to be cut. Revetments are to be built on each side of the channel which is to be 500 feet wide through the sandpit. Notice has been given the Pacific Electric which crosses the proposed exit with its rails to prepare for the cutting of the sandpit. Months ago the harbor commission made a very good bargain with the P. E. The P. E. agreed to accept $20,000 for the right of way and as compensation for all the trouble it might be put to for building a new bridge, which alone may cost $40,000 to $50,-000. Under this agreement, the P. E. staff of the state department of agriculture, as well as the federal bureau of markets. In response to numerous inquiries from growers of farm products in various sections of the southern part of the state, Mr. Daniels has instructed Fred N. Bigelow, secretary of the State Market Commission, and James P. Britt, director for Southern California, to make a careful investigation as to the possibility of bringing the different groups of growers into the cooperative marketing associations. The county farm bureaus have made careful investigations as to the crop conditions amount of food-stuffs available, proximity to shipping points and other very material matters in connection with the ability of the growers to organize by reason of the amount of their product. Following this investigation, Mr. Bigelow and Mr. Britt have called meeting of the growers in the vicinity of San Diego and the Imperial and Coachella valleys, at present having in course of organization four groups of growers, who will be able to directly market their next crop. After being thoroughly organized into co-operative associations, the growers will be assisted by the state department of agriculture in grading and standardizing of the crop, through inspection by the agricultural department. It is the plan to have the federal bureau of markets supply the different marketing associations with figures on the supply and demand of all of the states of the Union, together with price conditions and the movements of crops to eastern and middle west sections from other states of the Union. Many of the growers of the southern part of the state, notably those engaged Notice has been given the Pacific Electric which crosses the proposed exit with its rails to prepare for the cutting of the sandpit. Months ago the harbor commission made a very good bargain with the P. E. The P. E. agreed to accept $20,000 for the right of way and as compensation for all the trouble it might be put to for building a new bridge, which alone may cost $40,000 to $50,-000. Under this agreement, the P. E. must arrange a by-pass while the channel is being opened up. After the channel is opened, the bridge is to be built. The bridge will comprise three sixty-foot spans together with some trestling. Engineer Fitzgerald has been asked by the commission to make a report upon the feasibility of moving the sand for the exit by the use of water. It is believed that water will get the work done at far less cost than would be possible with steam shovels. Not all of the sand will have to be moved now. Channels will be cut through for the placing of the reverments, and a channel will be cut through the center. Storm waters of the Santa Ana river will be depended upon to take the rest of the sand out to sea. The harbor commission is negotiating with the Edison company with a view to getting electric power for the electric dredger in the bay for a period of sixteen hours a day. At present power is obtainable only for eight hours a day. The dredger company has declared that it will move the dredger to San Pedro where it can work sixteen hours a day. The other dredger, also owned by the Los Angeles Dredging Company, which has the contract for dredging in the harbor at Newport, has been taken to Long Beach for repairs, following a fire From 1896 to 1897 labor required to cover corn on an average hour and 34 minutes according to an official Department of Agriculture because inventors were of 1894 the gas harrow and other. In the matter of 1894 being compared quired human labor hours and 3 minutes such progress can future and, as availing scarce, in must necessarily methods. ANAHEIM GAZETTE aboard the dredger recently. When repairs are completed this dredger will be returned for work in Newport Harbor. OIL AT NEWPORT It is now practically an assured fact that Newport Mesa is proven oil territory. This is the opinion of those who have watched the operations of Well No. 1 of the Interstate Oil Company. The well is located on a 200-acre community lease. It is expected that the well will be on the pump with in a day or two, when it will be proven whether or not the Interstate has a regular well. Oil brought up in the baller recently has satisfied the management, as far as it can be satisfied at this time, that oil is at the bottom of the hole. Three-inch pipe for the hole and a pump were scheduled to be delivered at the well this week. Preparation for installing the pump means the end of hard fighting against water conditions in the hole. It is nearly a year ago since considerable excitement was caused by the announcement that company had struck oil. Water soon put a quietus on the oil prospects and for the past year the company has been devoting its efforts to shutting off the water. Besides consuming practically a year in that operation the company has "shot" 10,000 cubic yards of adobe and 350 sacks of cement into the hole to cup off the water. Every indication at this time points to success in that operation and now the bottom of the hole is to be tested out as to the grade and quantity of the oil. The adobe mud was mixed thoroughly by steam and then forced under heavy pressure between the outside of the casing and the ground. Cement was used in a similar way and with the "wall" thus built up it AND THEY SAY This city along with many others are raising property valuations to help meet current expenses. Pungle up and look pleasant. The lemon industry is experiencing a slump for one reason or another. There are not so many lemon-sours now. The local sleuth hounds spotted the man got a good bunch of evidence, and even the young woman attacked was positive they had the guilty party under surveillance. They were all told the evidence was not strong enough. Some angry gents have taken to toting guns. The political spellbinder is outclassed by the free street show, the latter hooking the big crowds. Whither are we drifting? The orange crop on the city sewerage farm is a nice windfall. Why not change its name to the Orange Blossom. A bunch of the boys intend going into the upper valley in a few days hunting for the elusive jackrabbit. The farmers are warned to round up all their livestock. A nice tidy sum is paid monthly for the electric juice. Many believe the old municipal plan the best. With all the home-brews and for-home-use-only wineries going full blast the dryness no doubt will be the league covenant, the United States if a member, would be under binding obligations to send money or supplies or troops upon the order of the league even if against its judgment. The Democratic candidate has in reality testified to the wisdom of those Republicans in the Senate who kept this nation free from the obligations of the leagu e. LABOR EMANCIPATION Evidence continues to multiply that members of organized labor are rapidly emancipating themselves from the evil influence of that notorious Democrat, Samuel Gompers, determined to cast their votes at the November elections in accordance with their own independent judgment, rather than in obedience to the edicts from the Gompers sanctum sanctorum at Washington. CALIFORNIA POPULATION California, according to census bureau reports, has a population of 3,164,602, which shows a very large gain over the 1910 figures. The Golden State, in its rank in population, jumps from twelfth place, which it held in 1910, to eighth place in 1920. The only states which exceed California's population are: New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Texas. Perhaps more gratifying to thoughtful Californians that the big percentage of increase in the state's population is the quality of its gains. There has been a healthy normal increase, of course, by native births. And the streams of migration to this state have brought in new residents of surpassing excellence in sterling citizenship. California not only is growing rapidly, but is growing just how it wants to grow. It is attracting itself wonderfully training andance.

MOTHER OF PRESIDENTS With four candidates for the presidency hailing this year from Ohio, and one of them certain to be elected, it may be of interest to note upon what basis Ohio may now claim to be the Mother of Presidents, instead of Virginia, that furnished much of the early presidential timber. The Buckeye state has already furnished as chief executives of the nation the following: William Henry Harrison, ninth president. Ulysses S. Grant, of Point Pleasant, Claremont county, eighteenth president. Rutherford B. Hayes of Delaware county, twenty-third president. James A. Garrfeld, of Cuyahoga county, twentieth president. Benjamin Harrison, of Hamilton county, twenty-third president. William McKinley, of Stark county, twenty-fifth president.

The sprinkling cart arrived alright and all the neighbors say the alley is just fine. Thanks, and call again. When approaching a railroad crossing it is well to stop, look and listen. You may live longer. A large tarantula was brought into the police station the other day and is now on exhibition within a glass bottle. As this is the prohibition era it has no terrors for those who happen to call there. Two big cars came together on Fast Center Monday morning, each having a member of the gentler sex as a driver. The latter said very little, but looked daggers. A young truck driver was pinched twice in one day for doing better than 55. Must be a remittance boy. A lot of gents are advocating putting regulators upon all machines to govern their speed. The maniacs would have to lower their sights. A few citizens bucked the assessment raise, which was expected. They should consider themselves lucky to live in this beautiful city. Some gents are giving their best girls instructions how to drive a flivver. Some use the one arm free system. A young man attended a dance Saturday night and was given a nip out of a bottle. He later collapsed and after the nausea passed he tried to climb the wall of a building.

There has been a healthy normal increase, of course, by native births. And the streams of migration to this state have brought in new residents of surpassing excellence in sterling citizenship. California not only is growing rapidly, but is growing in just the way it wants to grow. It is attracting to itself residents who are substantial, responsible, and permanent. The quality of its people—both those who are native born and those who have come here from other states or countries—is reflected in the character of California's government and institutions and in its huge progressive material development. TEAGUE TO HEAD EXCHANGE C. C. Teague, prominent citrus grower and banker of Santa Paula, will become head of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, in the opinion of growers who are in close touch with the organization. The annual meeting and election of officers will take place on Wednesday of next week, and predictions today are for the election of Teague. P. J. Dreher, of Long Beach, who is president of the Exchange, accepted the office last February, following the retirement of F. Q. Story, only temporarily and definitely not beyond the period of the following annual election. Storp was vice-president and upon his elevation to the chair, Teague was chosen as vice-president. Advancing him to the head of the big concern is considered a logical step. It is understood, however, that other prominent citrus growers may contend for the honor. Teague is president of the California Walnut Growers association and is said to be the most extensive lemon grower in the world. He also is a banker.

This was because inventors had given the farmers of 1894 the gang plow, the disc harrow and other farm machinery. In the matter of wheat production, 1894 being compared with 1830, the required human labor declined from 3 hours and 3 minutes to 10 minutes. No such progress can be hoped for in the future and, as available land is becoming scarce, increased production must necessarily come from better methods.

A company has struck oil but is keeping it dark. Fact is all oil is dark. FREE TO DECIDE Discussing the Polish situation, candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt asserts that because the United States is not a member of the League of Nations all it can do is extend sympathy. Absolutely wrong. The fact that the United States is not a member of the League does not preclude it from doing anything it sees fit to do for the aid of Poland. The United States freed Cuba without being a member of a league. It has rendered aid to many a nation stricken by misfortune, without being a member of a league of nations. The United States helped defeat Germany without being a member of a league—this country did not even enter the alliance but fought in cooperation. If the United States desires to send food or munitions or money or soldiers to Poland, it is absolutely free to do so. On the other hand, since the United States is not a member of the League, it is also absolutely free not to do any of these things unless it deems such action wise and proper.

Willard, founder tian Temperance Union, in a letter tian Temperance Union, in a letter to the Chicago Question Club said: "The proposition of Henry George will do more to lift humanity from the slough of poverty, crime and misery than all else; and in this I recognize one of the greatest forces working for temperance and morality". Brand Whitlock, Judge of the Supreme Court Louis D. Brandies, Samuel Gompers, Louis F. Post, Frank P. Walsh, ex-President Roosevelt and a host of other prominent people have strongly recommended the Single Tax. Yet the Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, ex-secretary of the United States Treasury, has been imported into this state at enormous expense by the well-to-do owners of idle land to talk against Amendment No. 20. The cunning defender of land profiteers falsely states that the Single Tax would destroy the rights of property, when just the reverse is the truth. Single Taxers believe in the right of property but are opposed to special privilege. Mr. Shaw and his cohorts dodge the challenge of Mr. W. L. Ross, President of the Great Adventure Single Tax League, to publicly debate on the Single Tax question. Mr. Ross maintains that if Amendment No. 20 is adopted it would stimulate the building of homes, thereby reducing rents, bring idle land into use and reduce the price of food. The United States is under binding money or supplies under the league judgment.

Is growing rapid just the way it attracting to itself wonderful record the Wilson administration already has made its appearance. No administration in the country's history has used so much of the public funds to advertise itself, as has the Wilson administration. PART-TIME SCHOOLS Following the lead of about twenty states of the Union California puts in force this year a scheme for the education of employed boys and girls who are between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. The new law establishes in the high schools of the state special schools called Part-Time Schools. Youths who are not in regular attendance at school must attend the Part-Time School four hours a week for the entire school year. These are not evening schools nor can they be held on Saturday unless it is impossible for employers and youths to arrange other days. It is the aim of the school to make more efficient workers out of employed boys and girls and to benefit both employer and employee. Just as far as it is possible under the present conditions the Anaheim Union High School will endeavor to co-operate with employers to attain that end. It will be the aim of the school to give advice and help in matters of education to fit employment and to make the worker more contented and better fitted for his work. Not the least of the good features of the law is its one compulsory educational clause. All boys and girls must be taught citizenship and health. Aside from this the student may choose anything that the school may offer. These two, citizenship and health, are the fundamentals of the future welfare of the nation. If there be nothing else of value in the law, this one feature justifies its enactment and enforcement. An enrollment certificate and permit to work must be issued to every youth who comes within the age limits, sixteen to seventeen in 1920-21 and sixteen to eighteen in 1921-22. These permits will be issued by the principal immediately after the opening of the fall term of school at the High School building. Twenty-eight men and twelve women will make up the trial jury in the Superior Court during the last six months of the term, the names of the prospective jurors having been given out by County Clerk J. M. Backs. The women on the jury are Miss M. E. Hamaker, Hattie L. Dunn, Luella A. Parker, Adline Barney, Zinetta G. Robertson, Flora J.Yooman, Florence Stone, Carrie E. Ford, Lola P. Bennett, Esther F. Chapman, Mrs. F. T. Preble and Ida M. Stearns. The men are Fred Rafferty, J. M. Millen, S. F. Huff, C. E. Dixon, Willis Maple, Oscar P. Bunyard, C. B. Campbell, A. S. Adams, Benjamin H. Sharpless, Edwin McFadden, James S. Ellis, Charles A. Barton, L. K. Scott, J. Roy Smith, Maurice McElree, M. L. Lane, William Keseman, Hansler Larter, George A. Mills, B. T.
