OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK BY RESERVE BOARD Caution Seen, With More Stability in Business. Refusal of the public to pay "excessive prices" caused a continuation of the downward trend of values in August, the Federal Reserve Board declared in its monthly review of business conditions issued recently. The board added that the "reaction against high prices had been accompanied by a general slowing up of demand in the wholesale field and by slight evidences of unemployment in some sections. The board's views on the nation's business generally were more optimistic than recent expressions and indicated and expectation of more stability in industry and commerce. While the review mentioned signs of a conclusion of the transition period, it countered with the statement that progress in that direction is slow and "much still remains to be done" before the country can be said to be on a stable basis. The hopeful assertion was made, however, that the readjustment had continued consistently. The depression which has characterized business in many lines in the summer continued most markedly in the manufacturing of shoes, the review said. Resumption of activity in the shoe trade is promised immediately after Labor Day in many sections, while others reported that prospects of lower prices mean a continued holding off of buying by the public, with the result that manufacturers will have no orders on which to work, the review said. Numerous large shoe concerns are still either "wholly closed down or are operating on short time, and most all have curtailed their purchases of leather." The board said there was a general attitude of caution on the part of mid- after Labor Day in many sections, while others reported that prospects of lower prices mean a continued holding off of buying by the public, with the result that manufacturers will have no orders on which to work, the review said. Numerous large shoe concerns are still either "wholly closed down or are operating on short time, and most all have curtailed their purchases of leather." The board said there was a general attitude of caution on the part of middlemen and jobbers. They are confronted with a continued refusal of retailers in most sections to replenish their stocks of most commodities because of the belief that prices soon will be more stable. NORMAL TRADE NEAR, SAYS NATIONAL CITY Bank Sees End of Scarcity of Labor and Goods. The trend of business generally is toward normal and permanent conditions, in the opinion of the National City Bank as expressed in its monthly circular issued yesterday. The situation is characterized as developing in a satisfactory manner, even though present conditions are not all that could be desired. Existing disorders, it points out, are no greater than might be expected in accomplishing the adjustments necessary. "The crops are fine, which is a good foundation for domestic business and international relations", says the bank "The railroad situation has improved decidedly during the last month, and although far from satisfactory gives promise of a gradual betterment. There is a better feeling in banking circles as to the credit situation, although money will remain tight. "The recession of industrial activity, which is under way, is not severe enough to be alarming, but is incidental to finding a lower level of prices. The abundant crops have made a general reduction of prices of foodstuffs and raw materials of clothing. With the exception of sugar, which has declined about 10 cents a pound in the last two months, the important food staples are either as low or lower than a year ago. "In the industrial field the general trend of prices is downward and the pressure is slackening with an increase of unemployment. An abundance of labor was available for the harvest, and it is probable that some of the plant cost sixty million dollars, was worth probably thirty million dollars and sold for eight and a half million dollars. The Wilson administration paid a powder company over eleven million dollars for running the plant and got no powder it could use during the war. Governor Cox speaks in awestricken tones of a campaign fund of fifteen million dollars. Overlooking the fact that he multiplied the real Republican national campaign fund by four, still why should the Wilson candidate for President be so frightened by a sum that is only a little more than one-eighth of what the Wilson administration blew in on four nitrate plants that did not produce a pound of nitrates during the war. The waste on these plants is estimated at four times the figure Governor Cox figures as the proposed Republican campaign fund—and it was deliberate, criminal waste of other people's money, much of it spent for political purposes. What's a little matter of fifteen million dollars to the candidate of an administration which let a hundred and seventy-five million dollars worth of new automobiles stand exposed to the weather, with a consequent loss of public money several times fifteen millions, and while this was going on, long after the war ended, let contracts for a half million dollars' worth of additional automobiles? What's fifteen million dollars to the candidate for President of an administration that charged off one-fifteenth of that amount on two ships built for the war on account of money spent for amusements, individual hotel bills, house dues, athletics, and other such foolish frills of cost plus contracting? Fifteen million dollars is a mere bagatelle to the candidate for President of an administration which spent seventy million dollars on a new training camp in a swamp near Norfolk, Va., which had to be filled up with soil from the bottom of the ocean upon which no grass will grow, and for the sodding of which $650,000 is now demanded. Fifteen million dollars is merely small change for the presidential candidate of an administration which spent fifteen millions on three cantonments in North Carolina, and after the war was over junked them all and started in to spend fifteen million dollars more on an entirely new cannonment. The Wilson administration wasted through inefficiency, graft, negligence and stupidity fully fifteen million dol- reads as follows: The Courier regests that the No County Mutual Welfare should appoint to formulate and for the re-district county.

But the men sell the matter should broad enuf, and faze all the way three citizens of Orange as of the Third district, that they is a part of Orange their deliberations always hav in min good to the greatest.

Should there be aizen may bring a oral reduction of prices of foodstuffs and raw materials of clothing.

"In the industrial field the general trend of prices is downward and the pressure is slackening with an increase of unemployment. An abundance of labor was available for the harvest, and it is probable that some of the labor attracted from the farms in the last five years will now return and remain. The period of acute scarcity both for goods and for labor appears to be over and a competitive situation is developing. "At this time, when the industries and exchanges of the whole world are out of balance and there is great need for patience and cooperation among all classes, ill feeling is constantly stimulated by hasty and uninformed comment. People write and talk loosely, often without knowledge of the facts they discuss and still more often without intelligent comprehension of the economic laws which are involved. "The natural economic law is always working to restore normal conditions, but time is required for its operations, and meanwhile the impatient people are wanting to adopt arbitrary and punitive measures, which usually have all sorts of results not anticipated and interfere with the natural processes of recovery. "One of the common fallacies is the theory that sellers can make any prices they please and are wholly responsible for prices, buyers occupying simply a passive position. "Manufacturing and trading would Fifteen million dollars is merely small change for the presidential candidate of an administration which spent fifteen millions on three cantonments in North Carolina, and after the war was over junked them all and started in to spend fifteen million dollars more on an entirely new cantonment. The Wilson administration wasted through inefficiency, graft, negligence and stupidity fully fifteen million dollars spreading poison propaganda in this country and throughout the world in behalf of Woodrow Wilsonism, and the taxpayers of America must pay the bill. If fifteen millions spent in refuting the "he kept us out of war" fallacy had beaten Wilson four years ago the people of the United States would have realized a profit of billions on the investment, besides saving their country from perils to its peace, prosperity and independence! The Wilson administration spent $116,000,000 for poison gas during the war, none of it reaching the battle front. Probably it is this left-over material that Governor Cox is using in his present campaign. LIMA GROWERS ORGANIZE A movement to organize a pool of lima beans grown by independent growers on the San Joaquin ranch is underway. It was stated that about a dozen of the growers have already agreed to enter the pool, and to act jointly in the sale of all or portions of their crop. According to one of the growers, independent buyers have been giving growers very discouraging reports There is a reason, I believe that the supermarket begin making their way into the changes they want. A vote of four of them however, is necessary change in supervisors is a possibility that opinion will arise that any re-districting plan suggested. Should there be a move may bring a new action is in progress and there is no reason the supervisors will give the districting careful consideration judgment according to produced. Census data available for use in doing the matter. The question is one thought out in a co-away, and the idea that permost throughout it is that in re-districting supervisor is a superior county, not merely the district that elects. THE NATION'S B In the next five years will push forward so construction scheme taken. Not only will habilitation have to make good the losses but there will be construction work normal development. The building area at hand In America ANAHEIM GAZETTE Those entering the pool believe that better prices can be secured than independents say they are now willing to pay. They say that they are convinced that there is an effort to crowd the prices down right now, and they believe that a pooling proposition will help meet the situation. Growers find it necessary to seek the very best prices obtainable this year. Not only is the crop very light, but expenses have been very high. Threshing alone is costing the growers $1 a sack. RE-DISTRICTING From the Register. During the recent campaign for supervisor of the Third district a good deal that was pertinent and wise and a good deal that was otherwise was said concerning re-districting Orange county into supervisorial districts. The matter is one that ought to be given a good deal of attention by the various civic organizations of Orange county. It is not a question for the Third district alone to settle. During the heated discussion that characterled the campaign in the Third district, about the most sensible thing that was written concerning the re-districting situation was an editorial that appeared in the Placentia Courier. The editorial, with words spelled according to the modernized system used by Editor Rideout, reads as follows: The Courier respectfully suggests that the Northern Orange County Mutual Welfare Association should appoint a committee to formulate and initiate a plan for the re-districting of Orange county. If, as every one admits, the proposition must be met, sooner or later, it would be a good business, as well as good strategy, for the people of the Third district; but there are three lines of activity that are demanding immediate consideration. The railroads of the country will have to be extended, and in many instances virtually made over; millions of homes will have to be built along with thousands of belated business structures, and systems of national and state highways, dreamed of for years, will have to become largely a reality. The actual proportions of railroad development have not been indicated; but repair, equipment and extension needs have been emphasized, and the government has agreed to "match dollars" with the roads in a part of this undertaking. This agreement would involve a total sum of 20 million dollars, which is regarded as only a beginning of the requirements for an adequate railroad transportation system. What has already been undertaken in highway construction is a fair indication of operation in the next few years. For this year alone, the estimated funds available for highways amounted to 633 million dollars. A total of 29,319 miles of highways have been approved by the secretary of agriculture, enough for nine roads across the country from San Francisco to New York. Five years ago, the total expenditures for roads and bridges by all the states and local governments was only 267 million dollars. In highway construction the federal government again has offered assistance and will match dollars with the states. The agreement of the government stipulates that only roads of superior quality shall be built; thus assuring construction of highways that will materially assist the railroads in handling the traffic of the country. An official of the United States housing corporation, has estimated the country's shortage of homes at five million. Other authorities have made the figure less, but none of them has Kafirs, 136,000,000 bushels, condition, 91. Peanuts, 38,900,000 bushels. Beans, (six states), 9,100,000 bushels. WALNUT GROWERS JOINING STATE ASSOCIATION Urged To Get Their Names In Before September 25. Walnut growers in Orange county, who expect to join a local association and market this year's crop through the California Walnut Growers Association, should file their applications with the secretary of the nearest association or send it to the office of the California Walnut Growers association in Los Angeles before September 25, if they desire to participate in the returns from the first and second pools of the season. A committee composed of Directors Lewis of Santa Ana, Ross of Anaheim and Bagnall of Moorpark, appointed at the last meeting of the board of directors of the California Walnut Growers association, has canvassed the market situation thoroughly and considered the matter of handling the output of growers who may join local associations late in the season, and the decision reached is as follows: "That the association's first and second pools be closed to all growers who have not filed their applications for membership by September 25; and that the output of all growers who join local associations after September 25, shall be handled in a third pool, no payments on stock in such third pool to be made until all stocks in the regular first and second pools have been sold." The advisory board of the California Walnut Growers Association has reviewed this recommendation and adopted a resolution urging its adoption by the board of directors, and The Courier respectfully suggests that the Northern Orange County Mutual Welfare Association should appoint a committee to formulate and initiate a plan for the re-districting of Orange county. If, as every one admits, the proposition must be met, sooner or later, it would be a good business, as well as good strategy, for the people of the Third district, having most at stake, to take the initiative, and not wait to be put upon the defensiv. But the men selected to handle the matter should be big enuf, broad enuf, and fair enuf, to realize all the way thru, that they are citizens of Orange county as well as of the Third Supervisorial district, that the Third district is a part of Orange county, and in their deliberations they should always have in mind the greatest good to the greatest number. We do not want to see the Third district cut into shoe strings, nor do we want to see the county hampered by any sectional spirit. The supervisorial lines as they now exist were established many years ago. Since the districts were outlined some portions of the county have developed faster than others. Public demands for roads and other county improvements have become problems in places where a few years ago all needs were easily met. Inequalities have been brought about. In an effort to correct inequalities, the Board of Supervisors last December undertook re-districting, but conditions were such that definite steps were not taken at that time. It was declared then that the supervisors proposed to take some action toward the last of 1920 to equalize the districts. Under the state law population is the basis set down for supervisorial districting. There is a reason, therefore, to believe that the supervisors will soon begin making their plans for outlining the changes they expect to make. A vote of four of the supervisors, however, is necessary to make a change in supervisorial lines, and there is a possibility that differences of opinion will arise that will tie up any re-districting plan that may be suggested. Should there be a tie-up any citizen may bring a mandamus action government again has offered assistance and will match dollars with the states. The agreement of the government stipulates that only roads of superior quality shall be built; thus assuring construction of highways that will materially assist the railroads in handling the traffic of the country. An official of the United States housing corporation, has estimated the country's shortage of homes at five million. Other authorities have made the figure less, but none of them has made it small. The problem of adequate shelter for millions of people will press hard for solution in the next five years. A revival of building of homes and other structures is expected next spring; it will be necessary some time soon. The construction tasks now confronting America will require every ounce of the nation's energy and will afford a true test of the country's resources. Few real Americans can doubt that the work will be done. The task involves a patriotic duty, and the nation's spirit will be equal to the requirements. CROP CONDITIONS The greatest corn crop in the country's history is in prospect for this year's harvest. Forecast for production based on September 1 conditions was placed at 3,131,000,000 bushels by the Department of Agriculture. Such a yield would exceed 6,000,000 bushels the previous largest crop on record in 1912. A crop of even larger proportions will be harvested if frosts hold off until late and permit maturity of much late corn now rated as doubtful. Tobacco also is a record crop and will probably exceed the best previous production by 114,000,000 pounds. August growing conditions proved highly beneficial to most of the country's important crops and as a result production forecasts generally were higher in today's government report than the forecasts of a month ago. Corn improved to the extent of 128,000,000 bushels; oats 40,000,000 bushels; white potatoes 11,000,000 bushels; sweet potatoes 1,000,000 bushels; tobacco 10,000,000 pounds, and apples 10,000,000 bushels. The indicated yield of corn per acre of 30.2 bushels has been exceeded but twice, and then only by a fraction of a bushel, during the past fifty-five years.

This notice is published by order of the board of directors of said Anaheim Mining and Milling Corporation. Dated, this 4th day of September, 1919, at Anaheim, California. F. E. FLORY, Secretary of Anaheim Mining and Milling Corporation. 9-9-4t. There is a reason, therefore, to believe that the supervisors will soon begin making their plans for outlining the changes they expect to make. A vote of four of the supervisors, however, is necessary to make a change in supervisorial lines, and there is a possibility that differences of opinion will arise that will tie up any re-districting plan that may be suggested. Should there be a tie-up any citizen may bring a mandamus action to compel proper districting. No such an action is in prospect, of course, and there is no reason to believe that the supervisors will do otherwise than give the districting matter full and careful consideration and enter their judgment according to the evidence produced. Census figures will be available for use in deliberations upon the matter. The question is one that should be thought out in a calm and sensible way, and the idea that should be uppermost throughout the deliberations is that in re-districting the county each supervisor is a supervisor for Orange county, not merely a supervisor for the district that elected him to office. THE NATION'S BUILDING TASK In the next five years this country will push forward some of the biggest construction schemes ever undertaken. Not only will building and rehabilitation have to be undertaken to make good the losses of the war period, but there will be the added task of construction work necessary for the normal development of the nation. The building area that is nowugar at hand in America will include var- ago. Corn improved to the extent of 128,000,000 bushels; oats 40,000,000 bushels; white potatoes, 11,000,000 bushels; sweet potatoes, 1,000,000 bushels; tobacco, 10,000,000 pounds, and apples, 10,000,000 bushels. The indicated yield of corn per acre of 30.2 bushels has been exceeded but twice, and then only by a fraction of a bushel, during the past fifty-five years. Forecasts of production this year of the country's principal crops, estimated from their condition September 1, or at the time of harvest, were announced as follows: Spring wheat, 237,000,000 bushels; with condition 64.1 per cent of a normal. All wheat, 770,000,000 bushels; condition, 74.1. Corn, 3,131,000,000 bushels; condition, 86.4. Oats, 1,442,000,000 bushels; condition, 88.3. Barley, 195,000,000 bushels; condition, 82.5.
