CITY OF FULLERTON TO GROW ORANGES Contemplate Using Sewer Water For Irrigation The city of Fullerton is contemplating the planting of a Valencia grove on the Stanton farm, to be irrigated by septicized sewer water provided the annexation proposition of the city to take in a section of Brookhurst goes through, according to a statement by Mayor William F. Coulter. This is the first direct official statement relative to the intentions of the city in the matter that has been made, and it was made, to quote the mayor verbatim, "in order to allay the apprehension of a great many people in and about Anaheim, and particularly in that section west of Anaheim known as Brookhurst." "The city of Fullerton does not intend to make any bones about what it proposes to do in that vicinity now a storm center with some of Brookhurst's residents", the mayor declared. "It may be stated with a great degree of authority that it is the intention of the city of Fullerton to establish a citrus orchard on an extensive tract of what is now apparently waste land in and about Brookhurst." The mayor stated that much of the land is very sandy and is regarded by some as being wholly unfit for citrus growing, but that "it is claimed by Fullerton people acting on the horticultural advice of some of the best experts who have been connected with the Riverside station that it is possible to transform the arid waste into a garden, as has been frequently done in Southern California in similar cases." CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION LOST MONEY BY SALES DATE LIMIT Remarkable Example of Rapid Increase In Values. John H. Smith—and this is not a factitious name—is charging off $1500 in his loss account. He doesn't know still has a place for his old age. If the call for money is urgent he can borrow on it. And he knows that if he dies the wife and the children will have at least that security against want. If not entirely free, at least his father to circumstances is considerably lengthened. Now, if he wishes, he may take a chance with life. He is not bound to the next week's pay check. His head, if he prefers, may be held a little higher. When a house means all this it is not strange that the hope of every responsible man is to own his own home. That hope has endured with difficulty these last few scrambled years. At times it has seemed that no man would be able to buy, let alone build, himself for years to come. Yet the high cost of home-building offers more than one advantage to the empty alternative of paying rent. It is almost certain there will never be a better time for a man to buy himself a home—or at least a piece of land upon which he may build some time. The cost is but little more than the cost of renting, and it is solid, permanent building—not throwing money into the landlord's pocket. No vague period in the future will be easier than the present for the buying of a home. And any time in the future will probably be much more difficult. The time to buy a home is today.

CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION The census bureau has now announced the population of all cities in the state having a population of 10,000 or more, and the list is given below for reference. Redlands and Alhambra have been included as they are so close to 10,000 as to fall in that class: Los Angeles ... 576,480 San Francisco ... 508,410 Oakland ... 216,361 San Diego ... 74,683 Sacramento ... 65,537 Berkeley ... 55,886 Long Beach ... 55,593 Pasadena ... 45,334 Fresno ... 44,616 Stockton ... 40,296 San Jose ... 39,604 Alameda ... 28,806 Santa Barbara ... 19,441 Riverside ... 19,341 San Bernardino ... 18,721 Bakersfield ... 18,638 Vallejo ... 16,833 Richmond ... 16,843 Santa Ana ... 15,485 Santa Monica ... 15,252 Glendale ... 13,536 Pomona ... 13,505 Eureka ... 13,212 Santa Cruz ... 10,917 Venice ... 10,385 Redlands ... 9,571 Alhambra ... 6,096 That makes 27 cities and it is an interesting fact that 14 of these are in Southern California and 13 north of the Tehachepi. In round numbers the urban population of the northern part of the state is 1,085,000, and of Southern California 895,000. Over 800,000 of the urban population of the north is in the four cities about the bay—San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda. The state is expected to show a population of about 3,200,000 and these figures indicate that practically 2,000,000 of that is in cities of 10,000 or more, or nearly two-thirds. Undoubtedly nearly half of the remainder will difficult. The time to buy a home is today. LOST MONEY BY SALES DATE LIMIT Remarkable Example of Rapid Increase In Values. John H. Smith—and this is not a fictitious name—is charging off $1500 to his loss account. He doesn't know whether his loss is due to talking too much or not talking enough. Anyhow, he is out $1500 because he placed a sales date limit at a stipulated price on his seven and a half acre valencia orchard between Santa Ana and Anaheim. He had the piece listed at $30,-000. Friday he concluded to change his figures and elevate them by $1500. He told an Anaheim agent that the old quotation would hold good only Monday night of this week and that on Tuesday morning,$31,000 would be required as an inducement for him to attach his signature on the dotted line. In the meantime, he had listed the place with an agent with whom it had not been listed before the price being given at $31,500. The latter agent developed a prospect and showed the property. The price was perfectly satisfactory, and there would have been no trouble in closing the deal at $31,500. The prospect, however, "got wind" of the fact that the other agent had the property at $30,000 and closed up the deal with him late Monday afternoon, saving himself $1500 in the transaction. The transaction was perfectly legitimate—and Smith believes he talked too much to one agent, and not enough to the other. A man by the name of Buck was the purchaser. DAUGHTER OF ERIN COMES HERE TO WED Miss Hilda McCaull of Belfast and Eric Strain Married. Hilda McDonald McCaull arrived in Fullerton last week from her home in Belfast, Ireland, and a few hours later was married to Eric Hamilton Strain, the ceremony taking place at the home of Mrs. Margaret Strain, in Placentia, performed by Rev. W. M. Perry, pastor of the Baptist church, of Fullerton. The home was beautifully decorated with baskets of cut flowers.

Undoubtedly nearly half of the remainder will be found in smaller cities—those from 400 to 10,000. It should, however, be remembered that all the cities listed above outside of Los Angeles San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, Stockton, Berkeley, and Alameda include a large area of farm and orchard property, and a large part of the population is engaged directly or indirectly in agricultural pursuits. That is especially true of cities like San Jose Riverside, Fresno, Bakersfield, Santa Ana, Pomona, and Redlands; and is true to a greater extent in the smaller cities of the state. DON'T RENT The man who owns his own home has armored himself. It stands between him and misfortune. He is free from the avarice or the interference of landlords. Rent? What's that to a man who knows that the deed to his dwelling is in the name of himself and his wife. The building and the land are his to do with as he pleases. If he wants to plant hollyhocks in the corner or a pepper tree in the front yard, he is his own master and he goes for the spade. That home is a healthy reserve against debt. Whatever happens, he can turn to it. If he loses all else he Hilda McDonald McCaull arrived in Fullerton last week from her home in Belfast, Ireland, and a few hours later was married to Eric Hamilton Strain, the ceremony taking place at the home of Mrs. Margaret Strain, in Placentia, performed by Rev. W. M. Perry, pastor of the Baptist church, of Fullerton. The home was beautifully decorated with baskets of cut flowers. After congratulations had been extended, a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The wedding was a quiet affair, those present being Mrs. Margaret Strain and daughter and Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Perry. The wedding is the culmination of a romance which had its inception in Erin where both were born and raised. Before Eric came to America he had the promise that she would follow later and they would start life together in America. True to her lover, Miss McCaull secured passage on the same boat with Thomas Strain, who has been visiting in Ireland for several months, and returned with him. The groom was all ready for the wedding, having secured the marriage license and made all arrangements with the minister, so he lost no time in having the knot tied. The statement of Secretary Baker that American boys dying on the field of battle in Germany were consolled in their last moments by the thoughts that they had given up their lives for the league of nations is just about the most asinine bit of political bunk yet exploded in the Coxonian pile barrage.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Million New Cars Add to Road Wear That the present interest in the construction of new highways should not divert attention from properly maintaining highways already improved is a point which the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, has had occasion to emphasize many times in recent months, particularly in view of the enormous increase in motor vehicle traffic which is taking place. The bureau recently completed a compilation of statistics from all the States of the Union showing that there were a total of 7,565,446 registered motor cars (including motor cycles and trucks) in the United States in 1919. This is an increase of 23 per cent, or 1,418,829 motor cars over 1918. Such figures indicate that the country's highways are bing used far more than in the past, it is pointed out, and in consequence added attention must be given to the repair problem. The increase in the number of cars for 1919 over 1918 represents about 10 per cent more cars than the total number registered in the entire United States for 1913. Additional use of roads and streets has, of course, been accompanied by additional revenue paid to State and local governments in the form of license fees, which in nearly all States are devoted to highway needs. The registration and license fees for automobiles, trucks, and motor cycles in use in 1919 totaled $64,697,255.58—an increase of 20 per cent over 1918. The total revenues for New York and Pennsylvania the past year were about double the revenues received for all motor vehicle registrations and licenses in the entire United States in 1912. Certain of the states, notably Maryland, have experienced difficulty in securing road-building materials owing to labor shortage, hampered transportation. Of this total area 15,000 to-20,000 acres. Of this total area 15,000 to-20,000 acres, grown by selected farmers, have been carefully inspected in the field by representatives of the Kansas Agricultural College and certified as furnishing sources of seed of high quality and purity. Kanred is a variety of hard red winter wheat developed by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station. It was obtained by selection from the Crimean variety of hard red winter wheat introduced from Russia by the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Federal Department of Agriculture and widely grown in Kansas and adjacent States. It was developed by the Kansas scientists with special reference to conditions there and has proved to be a better yielder by 3 to 5 bushels to the acre compared with other hard red winter wheats. Its better yield is due in part to greater resistance to winterkilling and to rust and in part to its slightly earlier ripening, say specialists of the department. TO COUNT US IN A DAY Uncle Sam may try a new method of enumerating in 1930. Perhaps because the success of the draft registration is remembered, when 9,780,685 men 21 to 31 years of age were registered on June 5, 1917, a similar national scheme is suggested for the next national census, as a possible means of increasing the accuracy and avoiding the well-nigh universal wail from towns and cities which allege and believe they were under-enumerated. The draft registration methods of course are the reverse of those used in the census and if they were adopted it would mean that the individuals or at least the representative of the family must go to a designated place on registration and license fees for automobiles, trucks, and motor cycles in use in 1919 totaled $64,697,255.58—an increase of 20 per cent over 1918. The total revenues for New York and Pennsylvania the past year were about double the revenues received for all motor vehicle registrations and licenses in the entire United States in 1912. Certain of the states, notably Maryland, have experienced difficulty in securing road-building materials owing to labor shortage, hampered transportation facilities, etc. Maryland has had to make a special appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission for aid in getting enough material shipped in to properly care for road repairs. Course In Oil For Fullerton Students In the employment of Garland M. Hunter as instructor the board of trustees of the Fullerton union high school and junior college has taken the final step toward the introduction of an Oil Industries course into the curriculum of the school. The course has been in consummation for some months. All preliminaries seemed easy of accomplishment except finding a suitable man to direct the work. Universities and teachers' employment agencies throughout the west conducted an unsuccessful search until very recently. Mr. Hunter finally secured a man who is trained in each step of oil production from the labor of the unskilled beginner to the tasks devolving upon the company manager. He is familiar with the local fields, so seems to be, in every respect, the man to successfully initiate this work. The course as conceived will include four years' work. An outline of subjects by years is as follows: Prerequisites, two years of high school work including English two years, mathematics, two years, manual training, one year. First year—1, Citizenship, 2 hours per week. 2, Applied mathematics 4 hours per week. 3, Applied geology 2 hours per week. 4, Chemistry (regular high school), 5 hours per week. 5, Mechanics of production, 15 hours per week. 6, Physical training 2 hours per week. Second year—1, Civics and economics 4 hours per week. 2, Applied mathematics 2 hours per week. 3, Physics (high school), 5 hours per week. 4, Physical training, 2 hours per week. 5, Mechanics of production, June 5, 1917, a similar national scheme is suggested for the next nationalensus, as a possible means of increasing the accuracy and avoiding the well-nigh universal wall from towns and cities which allege and believe they were under-enumerated. The draft registration methods of course are the reverse of those used in the census and if they were adopted it would mean that the individuals or at least the representative of the family must go to a designated place on the set day and "give in the census", in place of having the enumerators chasing the elusive citizen for days, at so much per name. A feature of this plan would also completely eliminate the charge that people are counted where they do not reside and that some tourist centers benefit by reason of such a count, for doubtless the enumerator would be required to state his place of residence, and at the census office as a clearing house these cards would all find their proper pigeon hole. Visitors from Pike county who happened to be spending a month at Long Beach would therefore be duly credited at their proper domicile, and San Francisco would have no occasion to complain over results. The plan is said to be under serious consideration by the census committee of the House of Representatives, and at least, it is worth trying, although it might be difficult or impossible to gather the commercial and statistic information that is a part of the census. But for the enumeration itself it will "work". A NEW INDUSTRY So lucrative has become the boot-legging industry in the United States that experienced criminals are forcing their former lines of adventure to engage in the illicit liquor traffic, according to the internal revenue bureau. Boot-legging has become more profitable than safe-cracking; it pays larger dividends than forgery or "stick-up" work and entails less risk to the breakers, it is stated. As a result men who formerly engaged in the hazardous business of safe-blowing, pick-in pockets, operating confidence grades and swindling ventures of other kinds are taking to boot-legging on a large scale. The revenue officers complain that one of the hardest things to combat is attitude of the public toward ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS COLLEGE Santa Ana, California Enrollments now active for our fall term.

Ital invested in the crop, the exchange cannot be put out of business by a sudden slump in the market or by competition, fair or unfair. It regulates the quality of the produce it places on the market, and its word stands behind every carload it ships. All sales of potatoes of the same grade are pooled, and each farmer receives, for the same quality of stuff, exactly the same price that his neighbor receives. There were twenty-seven local associations in the exchange three years ago. There are ninety now. It has added at least fifteen cents a bushel to the average price received by the growers, on the other hand, while giving the consumer better quality at no increased price, on the other. Farmers in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Colorado have copied the Michigan plan during the past year. Farmers in other states are making inquiries. Cooperation of this character will not solve our whole agricultural problem, not by a bushel, but it is one of the things that farmers may be doing while endeavoring to bring about a general reorganization of farming conditions. MAYFLOWER TIMBER FOUND IN OLD BARN In the course of a lecture before the Mayflower committee at London a NEW WHEAT WIDELY GROWN Deep interest in the success of Kanred wheat reported from Kansas is being shown by specialists of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. According to reports this year's acreage of Kanred is estimated by Kansas Potato raisers in Michigan have sprouted a good idea. Not only that but they've planted it and made it grow. It is an idea called Cooperation. Three years ago these Michigese found their business was jeopardized by the uncertainties of the local market, and they met together and organized the Michigan Potato Exchange. It is composed of local potato growers' associations, the members of which market their crop, collectively, through the central organization. No potatoes are bought by the exchange. There is no attempt to hold up or to regulate the market in any manner save through timely delivery of the crop. The farmer delivers his crop to his local association and is paid for it after it has been sold. Having no car- MAYFLOWER TIMBER FOUND IN OLD BARN In the course of a lecture before the Mayflower committee at London a short time ago, a part of the original timbers of the famous little ship which brought the Pilgrim Fathers to these shores was exhibited by Dr. Rendel Harris, a prominent British Quaker. Experts who examined the timbers pronounced them at least 300 years old and said they had evidently belonged to a ship of the size of the Mayflower. The timbers were found built in as a part of a barn on what is known as the "old Jordan farm," in Buckinghamshire. There is a large Quaker colony in that district. Old records show that a former owner of the Jordan farm in the seventeenth century owned a quarter interest in the Mayflower and that the celebrated old vessel was converted into a whaling ship about 1654 and was used in the whaling trade off the coast of Greenland. Dr. Harris promised to reveal the details of the secret at a conference to be held at Plymouth in September. The timbers include oaken beams thought by Dr. Harris originally to have formed part of the hull and deck of the Mayflower. Some of the beams, which are worn and wormeaten, bear marks indicating that they might at one time have held ship's rivets and tackle.

It has been suggested that this man broke up the Mayflower and sold the timbers to the then owner of the Jordan property.
