Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, favors such policy. He made the suggestion in a letter to Superior Judge M. F. McCormick of Fresno county, who had written him to the effect that the vacation period tended to develop habits of idleness and criminality among boys. Wood replying to the Fresno county jurist, said that exceptions should be made in the cases of older children whose assistance is needed in harvesting fruit crops and in similar work. "Of course," Wood added, "only children over 12 would be permitted to work even in agricultural districts." Court decision as to whether the Orange county Farmers and Merchants Association can proceed under the law to the organization of a mutual telephone company probably will be held within the next month of two. The attorneys for the organization today stand authorized to proceed with legal proceedings at once. The matter had been held up for some time through lack of funds. Santa Ana and Orange have fallen down in providing their quotas of the expense in preliminary work. Outside districts have raised their assessments and the committee now has enough money on hand to proceed with legal proceedings at once. The association is proceeding in its organization under an act providing for the operation of mutual companies. Attorneys for the association believe that the plans for installing a country wide-mutual phone system can be carried out. Other attorneys believe to the contrary. The suit, filed some time ago, is a friendly one and is for the purpose of getting a court decision.

He has disposed of his sporting goods and bicycle establishment to Luclen Wisser, with the expectation of devoting his time to his ranch near town. Pete Wisser, the new proprietor of the store, will conduct the business in the future as it has been managed in the past, and it will continue to be the popular sporting headquarters of the city. Friends of J. B. Reeve, who has been ill and in the Fullerton hospital for several weeks, will be glad to know that he is improving, being now strong enough to undergo another operation which his physicians think necessary for his compete recovery.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE PICNIC PARTY ADRIFT ON THE OCEAN WAVE Disabled Yacht Helpless for Two Days and Nights. How a party of Santa Ana and Los Angeles people drifted at sea for two nights and part of two days in a disabled motor yacht in the channel between Newport Beach and Catalina Island became known Tuesday. Those in the party were William C. Warmington and Ernest Coons of Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lowe, Mrs. Witt Elliott and W. E. ("Immediate Delivery") Alexander, Jr., of Santa Ana. Details of the party's harrowing experiences—how their meager supply of food ran out, and how several members of the party were ill during the entire time the yacht was adrift—were related by Alexander. The Santa Anans and Angelonos left Balboa in the yacht Friday afternoon, for a week-end visit to Catalina. Not until Sunday morning at 3 o'clock was the party resolved. In response to a wireless message from Avalon, Catalina Island, P. H. L. ("Doc") Wilson, of Balboa made a dash to the drifting craft and took the party aboard h's tug. The men who were in the party are automobile dealers and salesmen. The party planned to attend the picnic of the Orange County Auto Trades Association at Catalina Saturday. It was the intention to go out from Catalina Saturday morning to meet the steamer Avalon with the Orange county picnic delegation. Departure was made from Balboa Friday afternoon on the yacht Norfolk owned by Warmington, who is YOUTH Frustrated steal two from the drew Monroe 14, were following City Motor Breaking tuition, the officers c day it wa mobile be The mach of the C and his Monroe abandoned Santa Ana longing mobile w Spurgeon theft was notified.

Q.R. Store Mrs. Mary Kilday, of Riverside, appealed to Sheriff C. E. Jackson to assist in a search for her daughter, Velma Kilday, aged 15, who has been missing from her home since last Monday. Mrs. Kilday said her daughter was rather small for her age and good looking; that the girl wore a dark blue dress, low shoes and black stockings and no hat. The girl's hair is described as dark brown and bobbed. Her eyes are dark blue. Mrs. Kilday told Sheriff Jackson this is the second time the girl has left home without notifying her parents. The last time the girl was located by the police at San Pedro. Mrs. Kilday said the girl was last seen at Corona. The proposed plans for the new Methodist Episcopal church building to be erected in Garden Grove, was submitted to members of the building committee at a meeting last week, by an architect from Glendale, the plans meeting with general approval. The plans submitted call for a building 60x80x100, with basement, and seating capacity in the main auditorium "Children of Destiny" is the name of the story to be presented on the screen at the Grand tonight. It is a powerful story perfectly told. A Republic Picture adapted for the screen from Sidney Rosenfeld's famous stage success of the same name. This is a production which promises more than the ordinary share of entertainment. Its story takes one over many diversified and picturesque scene, from Italian villas to magnificent embassy halls in Washington and the colorful setting of Monte Carlo, with all its gaming and revelry. A card game in which a beautiful woman is the stake, a duel in a villa, mooring scenes on the Rivera, and a story which fascinates from the first reel to the last—these are a few of the features of the production. Friday and Saturday night, "Dangerous Days", taken from Mary Roberts Rinehart's famous story. With the close of registration for the November general election little more than two weeks away, County Clerk J. M. Backs calls attention to the fact that there is estimated to be The men who were in the party are automobile dealers and salesmen. The party planned to attend the picnic of the Orange County Auto Trades Association at Catalina Saturday. It was the intention to go out from Catalina Saturday morning to meet the steamer Avalon with the Orange county picnic delegation. Departure was made from Balboa Friday afternoon on the yacht Norfolk, owned by Warmington, who is Southern California distributor for the Westcott. Fifteen miles out the craft became disabled when the engine broke down. A pin had been sheared off the magneto shaft. The breakdown occurred about 6:30 Friday evening. The boat drifted all night, with big waves tossing it about dangerously. Saturday morning a sail was improvised from a bed sheet and an effort was made to keep the craft from drifting further out to sea. The sail was of no avail. The boat drifted some twelve or fifteen miles off its course. Late Saturday afternoon a sail hove in sight and every member of the party went on deck and waved coats and hats in frantic efforts to attract the skipper on the sailing vessel. The distress signal was seen and soon the passing craft was near by. It turned out to be a yacht belonging to a motion picture star. "Throw out your line and I will give you a tow," shouted the movie star. The rope was thrown out, but it was declared to be too short to be of service. The film man turned the bow of his boat toward Catalina and from there whirled to Balboa for assistance for the helpless boat. SHARK IS NOT FISH Shark meat was stoutly defended as palatable by Judge Oscar Trippet in federal court at San Diego, but the sale of shark under other names was declared to be a reprehensible practice and V. A. Bregante, Tony Bregante, John Demetro and Mike Demente were fined $100 after they pleaded guilty to the offense. The fine of $100 was imposed jointly on the Brigantes and another $100 on the Demetros. "As far as I know," said Judge Trippet, "shark meat is good eating. In fact, I have eaten it myself and found it fine." The proposed plans for the new Methodist Episcopal church building to be erected in Garden Grove, was submitted to members of the building committee at a meeting last week, by an architect from Glendale, the plans meeting with general approval. The plans submitted call for a building 60x80x100, with basement, and seating capacity in the main auditorium of 250 people. These plans are now under advisement by the local committee, and it is expected that some definite action will be taken in the matter at a meeting of the directors. The new church edifice will cost approximately $40,000. A concert will be given this evening at the M.E. Church under the auspices of the Choral society, by Miss Ruth Bowers, soprano, and Miss Olive Reed, violinist. These young ladies are noted musicians, and the concert will be a treat. Robert Mills has begun erection of a modern dwelling on his lot on Diamond street. He has also bought a lot on West Broadway. "Bob" is playing for high stakes and no doubt will soon be rated among the plutocrats. Old H.C.L. got a hard jolt this week. Henry Ford announced a reduction of $142 in the price of Ford cars. This brings the price of this necessary commodity down almost to before-the-war prices. Clyde Hasler, an employee of the General Petroleum Co., was scaled by the blowing out of a valve Tuesday. He was taken to the Fullerton hospital where he died a few hours later. With the close of registration for the November general election little more than two weeks away, County Clerk J.M.Backs calls attention to the fact that there is estimated to be in the neighborhood of 2000 persons in the county who have not yet registered. Registration for the November election closes on October 2. Persons who have moved out of the precinct in which they lived at the time of registering this year are uregd to transfer before October 2 if they expect to vote at the November election. Last week Backs totalled the registration and found that 22,726 voters are qualified to vote at this time. Backs expects a total registration of close to 25,000 leaving in the neighborhood of 2000 persons who have not qualified as voters. A Nagel sustained a dislocation of his left hip while at work on his orange ranch on East Santa Ana street on Wednesday last, and is now at his home with a prospect of being detained in bed for several weeks. He had hired a man to work upon the ranch and he and his son Kenneth were assisting. As he was in the act of stepping from the wagon he caught his foot in a whistle-tree and fell to the ground a distance of several feet. His left hip was dislocated, and he suffered severe bruises about the body. He was brought to his home and a physician summoned. It was found that he had been very severely injured, and he will probably not be able to be put again for a month or more. In federal court at San Diego, but the sale of shark under other names was declared to be a reprehensible practice and V.A.Bregante, Tony Bregante, John Demetre and Mike Demente were fined $100 after they pleaded guilty to the offense. The fine of $100 was imposed jointly on the Brigantes and another $100 on the Demetres. "As far as I know," said Judge Trippet, "shark meat is good eating. In fact, I have eaten it myself and found it fine." The court was reminded by attorneys for the defendants that the government urged the people to eat shark during the war, but Judge Trippet held that the offense did not consist in selling shark, but in decaling the purchaser by selling it as other fish. Merchants of Anaheim are having their fall opening this week, beginning today. All the latest styles in fall and winter goods are on display, and thousands of people will give the models once over and study the price and cards. Anaheim business houses are showing the latest, the best, and their prices are as low as it is possible to make them. Registration of students at the high school is expected to reach 400 for this term. The first day's registration was 381, being 68 greater than the first day last year. CALIFORNIA CENSUS The population of California, according to figures given out by the census bureau Saturday, is 3,426,000, an increase of over 44 per cent during the decade. This is the heaviest increase of any state in the union. It is believed the state will gain four congressmen when the country is re-districted next year.

Breaking out of the Whittler institution, the two lads, according to officers came to Anaheim. Here, Sunday it was alleged, they stole an automobile belonging to A. Knelp, a grocer. The machine was taken from in front of the Catholic church while Knelp and his wife were attending services. Monroe and Valdez, it was said, abandoned the Knelp automobile in Santa Ana, taking instead, one belonging to Mr. Cox. The Cox automobile was stolen from in front of Spurgeon Memorial church. The theft was discovered and local officers notified. Officer Stewart made a dash southward on the state highway. He overtook Monroe and Valdez near El Toro. The lads were driving the Cox car, according to Stewart. Officers came to Santa Ana and returned the two lads to the Whittler school. WOOLEN CLOTHING TUMBLES "The big event in the apparel trades has been the announcement of a reduction on next spring's woolens ranging from 15 to 25 per cent under 1920 prices", says Bradstreet's, the well known trade journal. This is the first reduction in woolen clothing since the big slump in raw wool last spring, which would indicate that it takes about a year for the firm orders have already been received for most of the 1920 walnut crop was the statement of Harry Lewis, president of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers' association at the meeting of the growers, Saturday afternoon. Most of these orders have been taken from northern states, the south holding out until the price on the California nuts is announced, says the Register. Lewis is of the opinion that the walnut houses should go slow with the walnut crop and make sales as the nuts are needed and people in the east are willing to buy. Association books will close Saturday, September 25, and no new members will be permitted to enter after that date. Walnut growers who sell their orchards were urged to explain fully to the buyer the organization and get him to enter the association now and not wait until it is too late. The machine to stamp the diamond brand on walnuts is still being perfected according to Lewis. The machine while stamping and branding the nuts satisfactorily when first shown by the inventor, ran slowly and was hard on the walnuts, often breaking them as the machline stomped, Lewis told the growers. Care was urged in this year's crop-tending. In case of rain, Lewis warned, the growers should wash off the dirt before it dries. In drying the nuts after having washed, care should be taken, he added, in not letting the sunshine strike wet nuts too long as they are apt to crack open, breaking the seal and thus cause trouble later by coming apart entirely. The meeting of the growers was of an informal nature and various WOOLEN CLOTHING TUMBLES "The big event in the apparel trades has been the announcement of a reduction on next spring's wool'ens ranging from 15 to 25 per cent under 1920 prices", says Bradstreet's, the well known trade journal. This is the first reduction in woolen clothing since the big slump in raw wool last spring, which would indicate that it takes about a year for the consumer to derive any benefit from the low price of the raw product. Even yet he cannot be certain that the reduction will not be absorbed before reaching him. There has been practically no sale for raw wool at any price for months, there are enormous stocks unsold in most of the producing sections of the world, and wool growers everywhere are in serious financial straits. NEW YORKERS HOLD REUNION All who ever lived in New York State are called to meet under the auspices of the New York State Society of Southron California for the great picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, October 2nd, 1920, in Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles. Come as early as you can and spend the day with friends. We will have county registers and headquarters so you can find the old neighbors even with ten thousand present. There will be a brief program, opening about two o'clock, but the main purpose will be to have a good time. We want to see all the tourists and visitors from the old home state as well as our resident New York folks from all sections of Southern California. Bring your baskets well filled and share with friends. Coffee will be served free to all who buy the silk souvenir badges. Each one who learns of this picnic is asked to pass the word along. Further information may be had of C. H. Parsons, Secretary of the Federation of State Societies, Continental National Bank, Main Street at 9th, Los Angeles, phone 10261, where our great New York register may be seen at any time. Mrs. Samuel Kraemer, Jr., is at the sanitarium where she was operated on for a minor affliction a day or two ago. A number of men who, in the campaigns of yesteryear, were high in the counsels of the Democratic party, are this year definitely and unequivocally breaking them as the incumbent compted, Lewis told the growers. Care was urged in this year's crop-tending. In case of rain, Lewis warned, the growers should wash off the dirt before it dries. In drying the nuts after having washed, care should be taken, he added, in not letting the sunshine strike wet nuts too long as they are apt to crack open, breaking the seal and thus cause trouble later by coming apart entirely. The meeting of the growers was of an informal nature and various phases of the industry were discussed by President Lewis and questions asked by the growers. In order to get the Santa Ana nuts into the first pool, Lewis stated, as much as possible of the crop this season should be at the local house by November 13. Lewis gave as the cause of the local nuts going into the second and third pools last year the fact that the walnuts were not all in at the house in time to make shipments to the central selling association in Los Angeles. Picking prices were fixed by the growers at $1 a sack for picking, shaking and a thorough cleanup of the orchard, with one-fourth of the payment held up until the grower is satisfied that his gove is clean.

Low priced Mrs. Samuel Kraemer, Jr., is at the sanitarium where she was operated on for a minor affliction a day or two ago. A number of men who, in the campaigns of yesteryear, were high in the counsels of the Democratic party, are this year definitely and unequivocally pledged to the candidacy of Senator Warren G. Harding and the entire Republican ticket. Among these former Bourbon stalwarts who have devoted many a dollar and many a day's work to Democratic success but who have now gone over to the Harding-Coolidge ticket are: M. F. Tarpey, of Fresno, former Democratic National Committeeman; Milton K. Young of Los Angeles, former Democratic State Committeeman and wheelhorse of the party for years; Joseph H. Call also of Los Angeles and also a former Democratic State Committeeman. WHY BUY POOR BREAD WHEN YOU CAN GET GOOD The Health of Your Children Depends Upon the Bread You Give Them Why should a housewife buy an inferior quality of bread for her household when she can get the best at the same price? Bread is the staff of life and the most important article of diet, therefore you should be particular in seeing that your bread is pure, wholesome and well baked. Make up your mind right now that your next bread order will be for the best bread on the market. There is never any doubt about getting the best if you order Dresser's White Lily Bread—at all the leading grocers or at the Bakery.—Adv. ECONOMY In shoes consists in getting the most for your money. How to do this is the question. Low priced shoes may prove more costly than the most expensive. You are safer than ever with Florsheims. Fit, style, comfort are added to endurance.
