VOTE FOR APPELLATE JUDGE The following is the vote in the Second District on the office of Associate Justice of the District Court of Appeal as apportioned by the Registrar of Voters or County Clerks to the Headquarters of the Committee advocating the election of Judge Gavin W. Craig: Orange county—Craig, 3689; Works, 2040; Weller 1154; Thomas 4655; total 7308 San Luis Obispo—Craig 1333; Works 1011; Weller 1113; Thomas 1580; total 4606 Santa Barbara—Craig 2226; Works Weller 2782; Thomas 3537; total 14201. 6789.

This gives Judge Craig a majority of the ballots cast, and under the law eliminates from the running the one receiving the lowest vote. This leaves the contest in the November election between Works and Weller. 69,000 to 208,000. New tire factories sprung up like mushrooms. Production was multiplied at a dizzy rate. Tire manufacturing stock assumed remarkable speculative values. The whole town reflected the speculative fever. Everybody made money and spent money wildly. Recently that boom has been collapsing. Tightened credit, a poor motoring summer and general business slacking are held responsible. Since June 1, perhaps 40,000 rubber workers have been laid off. A railroad official estimates that 28,000 people left Akron in one week. The city has lost, in three months, about one-fourth of its population. Akron business men are gleaming. But the situation is not all gloom. One manufacturer says: "It gives us a chance to catch our breath. We have been going too fast. And if it stops the plunging on tires, it will be better for everybody concerned." Another remarks: "The factories are getting more efficiency out of the employees who remain at work. Only the best men have been retained. That has disposed of the irresponsible type that had to be tolerated when business was good." Another, asked where the departed workers had gone, replies: "Back to the farms where they came from—the farms of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and farther south. A year ago the farmers of this whole section were crying their heads off. Now you don't hear a peep. There are no neglected farms around here now." Citizens with moderate satisfaction in the reduction of rents, in many cases, to half their boom rates, and in a marked cheapening of clothing, food and nearly everything else. "This is only a temporary lull," who desired to unite was a much bigger recall election than the trustees were last April. An effort to harbor and organize an endeavor to keep for being made. The issued outlines the "Everyone is in public mass meeting Friday night at B.C. Conner building." The auspices of the terment Association pose to form a permit of some kind that interests and works the city.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT A move is on foot to organize a road improvement district in the Richfield neighborhood for the purpose of paving a few miles in the oil fields. It is proposed to put in about three miles of paving, running north from Richfield to Palm drive, then to Newell avenue, then south on Newell about 1 mile and north to the Vorba Linda road. By this means little paving will give access to the principal leases from three different directions, and all the companies will have a paved road to, or almost to, the senes of their principal operations. The cost of the work will be about $60,000. Of this amount, probably $20,000 or $25,000 can be made available from the district road funds and the remainder will be paid by the oil companies and the property owners. The oil men, it is thought, will contribute pretty liberally. They are paying taxes, of course, but it would require half the road money of the whole district to build this one piece of work. At the same time, the oil operators are losing money, and time, on every truck load of material that is hauled in over the present roads. Will Consolidaate School Districts The trustees of Placentia-Richfield and Commonwealth school districts have evolved a plan whereby the last named district will be consolidated with the present joint district, the three to be known as Placentia Union grammar school district. The plan as mutually agreed upon by all the trustees, provides that Commonwealth will assume its proportion of the bonded indebtedness now carried by the Placentia district, as it will receive the benefits of the facilities that have been installed. It is agreed also, that the Union district will be managed by five trustees elec- West Virginia and farther south. A year ago the farmers of this whole section were crying their heads off. Now you don't hear a peep. There are no neglected farms around here now." Citizens with moderate incomes find considerable satisfaction in the reduction of rents, in many cases, to half their boom rates, and in a marked cheapening of clothing, food and nearly everything else. "This is only a temporary lull," says one of the optimists. "Cars have got to have tires, and there are more cars all the time. Things will start up again before long, but they will start up on a better, sounder, saner basis." Very likely he is right. It is a good thing, in the long run, to deflate "booms". That is worth remembering, as other speculative cities and industries in their turn surer the inevitable deflation. LENROOT TO SPEAK Senator Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin will make three speeches in California for the Harding-Coolidge-Shortridge ticket. The Senator has just completed a strenuous seven weeks campaign in his home state in which he won the Republican nomination for reelection to the Senate, and he came to California for a rest with his daughter at Piedmont, but at Western Republican headquarters he agreed to make three public addresses in this state before returning home. Senator Lenroot was one of the eastern men who sent endorsements of William Kent in the late senatorial primary. Since the nomination of Samuel M. Shortridge by California voters he issued a statement in San Francisco expressing the hope that California would send Shortridge to the Senate, Lenroot said: "The Republican party needs Shortridge from California. We know he will stand by President Harding and help us work out the Republican program for the next four years. To work out this program with the greatest success we must have control of the Senate and House. Control of the House will certainly be with the Republicans, but we need every man we can get in the Senate to insure our having the privilege of organizing the Senate and its committees. "One of the important features of the Republican program will interest everyone one, for it is a definite pledge of more economy in government. We will unable to accomplish as much..." named district will be consolidated with the present joint district, the three to be known as Placentia Union grammar school district. The plan as mutually agreed upon by all the trustees, provides that Commonwealth will assume its proportion of the bonded indebtedness now carried by the Placentia district, as it will receive the benefits of the facilities that have been installed. It is agreed also, that the Union district will be managed by five trustees elected at large. A memorandum of this agreement has been submitted to the Supervisor. It will require the approval of the District Attorney and School Superintendent, and may require submission to the people of the Commonwealth district. If the plan is carried out the children of the first four grades will be cared for by one teacher in the Commonwealth school, and the others will be brought to the Placentia school. This will require the purchase of another bus and the employment of a second driver. One is now in use, transporting pupils from and to the Richfield district, and has more work than it can properly handle. Commonwealth district has an assessed valuation of $639,470, and contains about 38 children of school age. Of these, probably 12 would come to the Placentia school—Courier. ONE BOOM DEFLATED Akron, O., is the greatest automobile tire town in the world. It makes more than one-third of all the tires used in this country. It has been, of late, one of the most spectacular boom towns in America. In ten years, from 1910 to 1920, its population grew from work out this program with the greatest success we must have control of the Senate and House. Control of the House will certainly be with the Republicans, but we need every man we can get in the Senate to insure our having the privilege of organizing the Senate and its committees. "One of the important features of the Republican program will interest every one, for it is a definite pledge of more economy in government. We will be unable to accomplish as much along this line as we would like to unless we control the Senate and its committees. "I certainly hope Shortridge will carry California with a big vote." SANTA ANA DEPOSITS Deposits totalling $11,674,000 are on the books of Santa Ana's four banks. This is an approximate average of $766 for every man, woman nd child in Santa Ana, taking the recent government census as a basis of computation. The figures showing $11,674,000 on deposit are contained in returns made to the comptroller of currency called as of Sept. 8. The showing is remarkable inasmuch as at this season of the year, with harvesting of several crops under way, bank accounts of many depositors are lower than at any other period of the year. FAILED TO RECALL City Trustee John J. Doyle by a vote of 112 yes, and 98 no, is retained in his official position as trustee of the city of Seal Beach. The effort to recall him failed. The fight was a factional fight, and it was waged with the utmost vigor, with Mr. Pfeffenbereger leading those ANAHEIM GAZETTE stories of the Tire re-relative and colpoor business Since work-railroad people has fourth men bloom. gives.

There was a much bigger vote cast in the recall election than was cast when the trustees were elected a year ago last April. An effort to harmonize all factions and organize an association that will endeavor to keep down factional feeling and boost for Seal Beach is now being made. The following call just issued outlines the endeavor. "Everyone is invited to attend a public mass meeting to be held on Friday night at 8:00 o'clock in the O'Conner building. It will be under the auspices of the Seal Beach Betterment Association, it being the purpose to form a permanent organization of some kind that will harmonize all interests and work for the growth of the city. SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT Claiming that he had been defrauded out of his interest as an heir in the estate of David Hewes, deceased, said interest being worth $20,000, Richard V. V. Wicker, as plaintiff, a nephew of Senator Frank P. Flint, sought by action in the courts, filed against Linwood M. Adams, as defendant, to recover before Judge R. Y. Williams last Tuesday. On the witness stand Mr. Wicker testified that he met Mr. Andrews in Los Angeles last winter; that Mr. Andrews spent his money on him very freely, and as their friendship ripened they became room-mates at the Stillwell Hotel. Still later, in February, they agreed upon entering the real estate business, he said, and thought he had signed an agreement to that effect; but, to his great surprise, he found out that he had made an assignment of nineteen-twentieths of his interest in the Hewes estate. He could not figure out how it had been accomplished. the bay, indications all pointing to the oil coming from that direction. The closer Beek got to the entrance the deeper the mystery became. No boats were found unloading oil. The trail finally led to the open sea and down along the coast beyond. Laguna. Several miles off Arch Beach Beek found the cause of the trouble. He discovered that an asphaltum or tarry formation was coming up from the bottom of the ocean. Beek's discovery recalled the fact to a number of old residents, that several years ago, a similar discovery was made after the beach had become lined with the tarry substance. Oil men here claim the finding of the oil formation supports the claim of geologists that there are great oil fields under the ocean. PECULIAR REACTION TO CHARGES OF COX Deluge of Dollar Contributions For Republican Treasury. The most peculiar reaction to the Cox slush fund charges has been a sudden and unexpected deluge of dollar contributions to the G.O.P. treasury from all sections of the country. The dollar bills first made their appearance in three letters received by National Treasurer Upham's office last Saturday. Yesterday, 146 similar contributions had arrived and forty more came in before noon today, says a Chicago dispatch dated Wednesday. The letters are mostly from small towns. Some are typewritten, others scrawled in ink and pencil. There seems to be no preference as to locality. Today's mall contained dollar letters from Bates City, Mo., Roanoke, Va.; Huntington, W. Va.; Mount to plant it as fast as possible, and at present have about 12 acres fully covered and growing beautifully. "I am now able to make a fine lot of hay each year of exceptionally good quality. The clover grows so vigorously when the land is dry that without any exaggeration whatever, it is capable of grazing four or five head of cattle per acre during the summermonths. Of course, I am only referring to land similar to my own, which was originally salt marsh and has been considerably enhanced in value by the clover, which appears to grow almost as well in water as out. So far I have found no seed." Andrews spent his money on him very freely, and as their friendship ripened they became room-mates at the Stillwell Hotel. Still later, in February, they agreed upon entering the real estate business, he said, and thought he had signed an agreement to that effect; but, to his great surprise, he found out that he had made an assignment of nineteen-twentieths of his interest in the Hewes estate. He could not figure out how it had been accomplished. The defendant testified that he paid in cash to Mr. Wicker $4500 for the interest, the transaction taking place at the Gordon Apartments in Los Angeles before two witnesses, Mrs. Marie Fleming and Mrs. B. L. Gowen. Mrs. Fleming came all the way from Denver to testify. She was very positive in her testimony, claiming she had counted the money. GROWING CHICKS SHOULD HAVE DAILY SUPPLY OF GREEN FEED In addition to furnishing a sufficient quantity and the right kind of feed to make flesh, muscle, and bone, and supply energy for the growing chicks, clean dry quarters, green feed, fresh water, and shade should be provided. The coop should be kept clean, which can be facilitated by keeping sand on the floor and raking off the droppings at least twice a week, and oftener if possible. The roof should be tight so that the house will always be dry. Green feed is very essential for the growing chickens, the ideal condition being to allow them free range on good grass land. Alfalfa make an ideal range. Where the chickens have to be confined to small yards it is essential to supply green feed daily. Freshly cut lawn clippings and short pieces of any growing grain crop, such as oats, wheat, or any quick-growing crop, such as rape, make splendid green feed. Where these growing feeds are not available, sprouted oats may be used and will help materially. Where a hen is kept with a brood of chickens and the chickens confined to a small covered pen, move this coop and pen every two or three days to fresh grass and never let the grass be killed or eaten down where the run is placed. Provide fresh, clean water daily and see that the receptacles are thoroughly cleaned and the chickens never without water. The water should be kept in the shade in as cool a place as possible. Using a stone crock for watering fountains DAVIES SELLS PLANT R. T. Davies, one of the best known independent fruit men in Southern California, has disposed of his orange and lemon packing businesses at Placentia, and will devote his time henceforth to the management of his various orange ranches. The purchaser of the business is Thomas Eadington, who far the past four years has been secretary and manager of the Benchley Fruit Co., at Fullerton. Davies has been prominently identified with the citrus industry in Orange county for the past twenty-three years and there is probably no better posted man in the business today. During his long packing house business he has built up a large clientele of growers, whose fruit he has handled for years. The methods which have proved successful under Davies will be followed by his successor, and with the increasing volume of Valencias in Orange county each year there is every prospect that the business will continue to expand. Eadington will sever his connection with the Benchley Fruit Company on October 1. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets.

Trees and low shrubs make ideal shade, but if not available a corn patch or rows of sunflowers will help materially. Where no growing crop or trees of any kind are available it will pay to put up an artificial shade, making a framework 2 or 3 feet high and covering this with the branches of trees, weeds, straw, or any waste material that will furnish shade. SHERLOCK SOLVED MYSTERY The mystery surrounding the appearance of large quantities of a tarry substance along the Orange county coast during the last few weeks, has been solved. Harbormaster J. A. Beek of Newport Beach, is the "Sherlock Holmes" who ran down the mystery. Wednesday morning Beek started out for a sail. The first thing he noticed on reaching the water front at Balboa was that the water was covered with oil. The dumping of oil into the bay is strictly against the law, and Beek, in his official capacity, started out to find the culprit. Beek headed for the entrance of Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. A meeting Wednesday at 7:45 p.m., at which testimonials of healing are given.

The public is cordially welcome. A NEW CLOVER A recent New South Wales agricultural bulletin gives the following boost to a new clover found in that part of Australia, known as Shearman's clover. "A clover that will hold its own with paspalum, that will carry four to five head of stock per acre during its growing season, that is eaten so greedily as to cause bloating in half on hour, that will outstrip any clover yet known in vigor of growth on wet soils, that appears to be equally palatable at anp stage of its growth—such is a description which may fairly be applied to a new fodder plant recently brought to light." J. H. Shearman found a spreading patch near a water ditch, and says: "It soon grew along the drain for a distance of 20 feet and blocked the water from running. The clover had then to be shoveled out, and I put it in a grazing paddock, where I fully expected that the cattle, by continuously eating it down, would kill it. To my surprise, however, it grew and spread, killing out most of the other grasses as it ran over the ground. This process took about ten years before I discovered that I had a clover really worth caring for. I then began..." ALBACORE MIGRATING Albacore have practically disappeared from southern California waters and are believed to have followed the warm current that flows westward to Hawaii and the islands of the south Pacific. This species of fish do not take kindly to cool, foggy weather, and invariably strike out for warm water during the first week in September, experts say. Fishermen report, however, that the water between the Coronado islands and Oceanside are teeming with tuna. One hundred and forty-five tons of this fish were delivered to the national Packing company Saturday and Sunday. Other local fish packing plants also obtained bumper catches. With tuna running in large schools, local caneries do not look for the 1920 season to close until the first of October. Estimates place the value of the season's tuna, albacore and skipjack pack at more than $6,000,000. The remains of A. Stender, who died at Davenport, Iowa, on Sept. 11, were brought to this city for burial. Funeral was held at Backs & Terry's Saturday afternoon.
