LEGAL BATTLE OVER 8-YEAR-OLD CHILD Mother Trying To Get Possession of Child Living With Aunt. A legal battle for the custody of an 8-year-old child, alleged to have been abandoned five years ago by its mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Araiza, and whose mother is now attempting to take her home from the custody of her uncle, J. O. Corona, of Fullerton, was opened Saturday morning in the court of Superior Judge R.Y. Williams. The mother and father of the girl, Christine Araiza, 8, separated in 1915 while they were temporarily residing at Venice, after a quarrel in which it was alleged that Araiza accused his wife of running around nights and not taking care of their three children, Evelyn 6, Christine 8, and Virginia, 10. The relatives of the pair placed the children in a convent in San Bernardino, but when the father finally neglected to pay for their care, the children were taken over and cared for by relatives. The relatives only saw the mother once or twice after the separation, and only once, it was stated in the testimony, did the mother ever attempt to see the children. Neither she nor the father contributed anything toward their support. A few months ago, the mother, who is now residing in the Mission district in San Francisco, kidnapped two of the children from the relatives, residing near Fullerton, who were caring for them. Armed with an order from the Superior court in San Francisco, apparently giving her temporary custody of her uncle and J. O. Corona, 827,560 barrels for the same period—nine months—in 1919. If during the remaining threemonths of the year, production equals September's average and there is a good chance that it will remain three months of the year, 228,100 barrels, which will be a record for the state. The record now is 103,623,965 barrels, produced in 1914. Breaking the 1914 records may be somewhat problematic, but that production for the year will be 104,-of last year—100,637,870 barrels seems a certainty. The increased production is due to the intensive development of the oil fields which has been going on. Considerably hampered by shortage of material all year, more oil wells are being drilled today—421—than at any time since 1912. A portion of the new territory was opened up earlier in the year in the Elk Hills by the Standard Oil Company. This region is being actively developed and has already proved to be a most valuable and important field. Another encouraging and noteworthy development is that at Huntington Beach. This newly discovered area is being actively drilled and it gives promise of being one of California's important oil fields. However,the gap between supply and demand is not closed and during September reserve stocks were drawn on to the extent of 275,807 barrels. The petroleum industry is still in a state of under-production, so great and growing is the demand for petroleum products. RODEO N ALASKA In the vicinity of the Kobuck river, Alaska, fifty miles north of the Arctic circle there are held annual "rodeos" which for picturesqueness, skill of abstractions and in popularity are HUMILIATION A reporter for the Chicago Tribune found a majority of the down town workers interviewed are opposed to carrying their lunches to reduce the cost of living and teach a needed lesson to profiteering restaurants. One girl would feel "humiliated" if seen carrying her lunch; another could not imagine herself in that position; and a third wants a warm meal at a restaurant. These are illuminating commentaries on American life and habits, says the Tribune editor. The average Americans refuse to put aside the self-indulgence of today for the greater good of tomorrow. Many feel "humiliated" by the practice of thrift. A stenographer or clerk earning $100.00 a month fears the criticism of associates if they admit the necessity of saving $10.00 of that $100.00. Such persons fail entirely to grasp the fact that thrift is the first step on the road to prosperity. A letter published recently emphasized that fact. A man with an income of $130.00 a month told how he was buying a home, carrying life insurance, enjoying a piano and a phonograph paid for from that income. This man had obtained his present independence by thrift which began in days when $130.00 a month would buy what $260.00 buys now. He had started on the road to prosperity by such saving and had developed habits September reserve stocks were drawn on to the extent of 275,807 barrels. The petroleum industry is still in a state of under-production, so great and growing is the demand for petroleum products. RODEO N ALASKA In the vicinity of the Kobuck river, Alaska, fifty miles north of the Arctic circle there are held annual "rodeos" which for picturesqueess, skill of exhibitions and in popularity are comparable to the "roundups" of the Western part of the United States—yet there is not a single horse or steer or saddle or "six-gun" within hundreds of miles of he scene. These rodeos are conducted under the auspices of the United States Bureau of Education for the natives of Alaska, for the advancement of the reindeer industry. There are 150,000 reindeer in the territory. At the fairs all matters pertaining to reindeers are discussed and the herders come to an understanding regarding grazing ground rights and similar matters. Government representatives give talks on reindeer breeding and other scientific guidance for the development of an improved breed of stock. Recently serious consideration has been given to a means of exporting the growing thousands of surplus deer to the United States. Within the next year or two, it is anticipated, a market for distributing the meat will be established in the United States. It costs less than three dollars per head to raise the deer, which will dress 150 pounds of the choicest meat. HIS CABINET President-elect Harding will be offered much aid in the selecting of his cabinet, most enthusiastic of all volunteers in this task will be the newspapers which opposed abused maligned, falsified and schemed shameful things in their efforts at his defeat. This class are born manufacturers of cabinets for executives they cannot boss. It is probable, however, that Mr. Harding will make little use of their freely given council. Through one of the most trying political campaigns the country ever knew, he kept his head cool and proved invariably cool, kindly and wise. Such a man is amply able to choose his advisers without unfriendly aid. It is said that Mr. Harding will be in no hurry. From the Register Although the day thrown a new light on Orange county districts, the districting remains. Eleven months Supervisors debated supervisorial lines was proposed to a some other territory to the fourth district she string north and district to tailoring of the thin could be made at roads of the Re-districting time, but announce that the matter again in December. If re-districting time for it to be the 1921 assessment taken within the District have been population since for the five distribution is the primary district areas figures are available no great amount cerning populatiion. For several years district has had an assessed valuation it has a big milled roads to look after elements in oil at meant that this district will raised some m A letter published recently emphasized that fact. A man with an income of $130.00 a month told how he was buying a home, carrying life insurance, enjoying a piano and a phonograph paid for from that income. This man had obtained his present independence by thrift which began in days when $130.00 a month would buy what $260.00 buys now. He had started on the road to prosperity by such saving and had developed habits which made it possible for him to continue. We venture to say that the writer of that letter was not 'humiliated' by admitting and practising thrift. Today he lives in his own home while others are being humiliated by collectors at their doors or the necessity of telling the landlord they cannot pay the increased rent. The thrift road to prosperity is open to all if they will ignore the silly remarks and glances of listless, thrifless, lightminded acquaintances and follow the practice of thrift that has founded the greater fortunes in America and there is no safer or more convenient or all around satisfactory method for saving than in investing as much as possible from one's income in Government Savings securities such as Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certificates and Liberty Bonds. BROKE ALL RECORDS California's oil field's broke the record by producing 9,130,000 barrels of crude oil during September. The average daily production was 304,340 barrels. The greatest previous average daily production was during the month of June, 1914, when the average was 302,400 barrels, against... ANAHEIM GAZETTE SPEED LAWS THAT EVERY MOTORIST SHOULD KNOW All vehicles must at all times be operated in a careful and prudent manner, and at a rate of speed not greater than 14 reasonable and proper, having regard for the traffic and use of the highway, and no person shall operate or drive a motor vehicle or other vehicle on a public highway at such a rate of speed as to endanger the life, limb or property of any person. Subject to this rule the speed limit for automobiles are as follows: 1. It is unlawful to exceed 35 miles per hour. 2. It is unlawful to exceed 30 miles per hour except in the day time when the driver has a clear view and the railroad track is not to a distance of at least 400 feet from the highway on which he is traveling and there is no person, vehicle or other object ahead of him and within 400 feet or any such intersecting highway within 400 feet of the center line of the highway on which he is traveling. 3. It is unlawful to exceed 20 miles per hour in any "closely built up" territory. Such territory must be marked by the red triangular signs required by Section 1 of the California Vehicle Act. 4. It is unlawful to exceed 15 miles per hour in any business district. Such district must be marked by the green triangular 15 mile sign required by Section 1 of the California Vehicle Act. 5. It is unlawful to exceed 15 miles per hour in approaching railroad grade crossings or in approaching or crossing intersecting highways or going around curves when in any of these cases the driver's view is obstructed. 6. It is unlawful to exceed 10 miles each way, easier to handle and considered generally just as efficient. Lime sulphur will have to be used in the Spring anyway to finish the job as Bordeaux does not kill scale or twig borers. The use of Bordeaux in the fall is purely as a fungicide as it has no insecticidal value. Symptoms of peach blight are a dying back of twigs with a slight gumming of affected portions of twigs and branches. Discolored areas of the bark are noticeable on new wood and in the spring new branches die back, sometimes on one side and sometimes entirely. The formula for Bordeaux mixture is as follows: Four pounds bluestone and five pounds of lime to 50 gallons of water. Dissolve the bluestone in a wooden or stone vessel and slack the lime by itself in the usual way. First screen the lime to keep out gritty material that might clog the sprayer. Quite a quantity of lime and bluestone can be prepared separately but must not be mixed until the mixture is to be used. Go after the trees now and give them a good dose of Bordeaux, then follow as the buds open in the spring with lime sulphur and you should keep the trees free from peach blight. SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT It would be possible and profitable for Congress to create an edition to the cabinet to be known as the Department of Social Service," says the Republican Publicity Association, through its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr." This might include the Woman's Bureau and Children's Bureau, now in the Labor Department, the Bureau of Education now in the Interior Department, local Washington hospitals and a Social Service Department be created, to appoint a woman as its head. Practically the entire work would deal with teaching, nursing, and women's welfare, subjects that can better be handled by the gentler sex. The public welfare would be served by the change, other departments would be relieved of duties more or less foreign to them, and an opportunity would be given Senator Harding to enlist the assistance of the women of the country by appointing one of their number to his Cabinet." YORBA LINDA CENTER STRENGTHENS Active Interest Shown In Recent Meeting The Farm Center has solved the apparent apathy for meetings in general at Yorba Linda. Since the discovery of oil in this section, community interest has been directed to oil derricks and gushers. In order to counteract this situation the Farm Center has endeavored to cultivate community interest and development through monthly socials which so far have proved quite successful. The best meeting was held at Mr. Holloway's residence in the heart of the avocado ranch. Dr. S. S. Twombly of Fullerton and farm advisor Wahliberg discussed fumigation, fertilizers and pruning. Dean Johnson was present and spoke on the need for closer co-operation for the farmers. Mr. and Mrs. Holloway prepared avocado sandwiches and coffee for the membership present. La Habra Farm Center will meet at the La Habra School next Friday. 4-It is unlawful to exceed 15 miles per hour in any business district. Such district must be marked by the green triangular 15 mile sign required by Section 1 of the California Vehicle Act. 5-It is unlawful to exceed 15 miles per hour in approaching railroad grade crossings or in approaching or crossing intersecting highways or going around curves when in any of these cases the driver's view is obstructed. 6-It is unlawful to exceed 10 miles per hour in crossing railroad grade crossings when the driver's view of the alfroad tracks is not clear for at least 400 feet on each side of the road he is traveling. The speed of trucks is not governed by the above schedule, but is limited in accordance with their weight. REDISTRICTING From the Register: Although the discovery of oil has thrown a new light on the re-districting of Orange county into supervisorial districts, the advisability of re-districting remains. Eleven months ago the Board of Supervisors debated a plan for new supervisorial lines. At that time it was proposed to add Forba Linda and some other territory in that section to the fourth district, and to run a shibe string northward from the second district to take in some rich territory of the third district so that it could be made available for taxation for roads of the second district. Re-districting was given up at that time, but announcement was made that the matter would be brought up again in December of this year. If re-districting is to be done in time for it to become effective for the 1921 assessment, action must be taken within the next few weeks. There have been many changes in population since the boundary lines for the five districts were set. Population is the prime factor in determining district areas. Since 1920 census figures are available, there need be no great amount of guesswork concerning population. For several years, the second district has had a hard problem. It's assessed valuation has been low, yet it has a big mileage of troublesome roads to look after. Recent developments in oil at Huntington Beach meant that the assessed valuation of this district will be undoubtedly be raised some millions of dollars in SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT It would be possible and profitable for Congress to create an edition to the cabinet to be known as the Department of Social Service," says the Republican Publicity Association, through its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "This might include the Woman's Bureau and Children's Bureau, now in the Labor Department, the Bureau of Education now in the Interior Department, local Washington hospitals and schools supported by the Government and now under the jurisdiction of the Interior Department, the PublicHealth Service now in the Treasury Department the Federal Board for Vocational Education now a separate and woody mismanaged institution, the U.S. Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, and possibly the U.S. Employees' Compensation Commission now presided over by a woman. "From various sources have come suggestions that Senator Harding should appoint a woman to his Cabinet. Those who advocate such a departure from precedent have much sound reason on their side. Almost half of the votes that elected Senator Harding were cast by women; henceforth they will have an equal voice with the men in shaping national policies; in various executive positions in state and national government they have demonstrated their efficiency; a woman will be a Member of the next Congress, and it is probable that never again will that body be without a woman Member; and in other ways the women have established a right to be represented in the President's advisory board, the Cabinet. "But it is equally plain that most of the Departmental work is quite foreign to women's present experience, and deals with matters which almost wholly concern the masculine members of society. A woman would be distinctly out of place as Secretary of War or of the Navy. Practically every lawyer in the country is a man, and most of the court litigants are men. Hence it appears more appropriate to have the Department of Justice presided over by a man. At present, at least, our commerce, both domestic and foreign is under the direction of men, although women are rapidly entering the commercial field. Evidently for the present the Secretary of Commerce should be a man. The same may be said of the Treasury Department. The State Department directs the work of hundreds of male... CONTROL PEACH CURL IN NOVEMBER Because of the exceedingly dry season many peach orchards that have not had ample irrigation are going into the winter in a very weakened condition. As a result it may be expected that peach blight or leaf curl will be much worse next spring than common. In order to overcome this handicap to the trees it is especially desirable at this time to spray for the prevention of leaf curl. The time to do this fall spraying is between November 15 and December 15. This spray may be either Bordoux or lime sulphur, though Bordeaux is the most of the court irrigants are men, hence it appears more appropriate to have the Department of Justice presided over by a man. At present, at least our commerce, both domestic and foreign is under the direction of men, although women are rapidly entering the commercial field. Evidently for the present the Secretary of Commerce should be a man. The same may be said of the Treasury Department. The State Department directs the work of hundreds of male diplomatic representatives, and conducts correspondence with officials of foreign governments, all of whom are men. It would embarrass both the nation and the Secretary should a woman be appointed to the place. The work of the Agricultural Department is largely technical and of a sort not calculated to appeal to women. The Post Office Department, particularly in the next two or three years, will demand the most onerous sort of work to reconstruct the organization that Mr. Burleson has almost wrecked. No woman's shoulders should be burdened with the task. The Interior Department is concerned chiefly with sales of public lands, reclamation projects, pensions and Indian affairs, matters with which a woman might be expected to deal wisely and efficiently, although not particularly of interest to her. In the Labor Department are found duties which are suited to the experience and training of women, and appointment of a woman to the head of that Department would not be amiss. In many of the Departments are bureaus dealing with social service, which really have little relation to the others, and which might readily be collected under a new and separate department head, to the advantage of all. "It would be eminently fitting, should FARM BUREAU DUES $5. Orange County Joins Other Counties In Ralse. The Directors at their November meeting last Friday resolved to raise sufficient funds to meet the needs of the organization in working out projects for the interest of the farmer. During the coming year a strong legislative program will be carried out by the State Federation and the Orange County Farm Bureau. Funds will be needed to meet expenses of various committees or delegates that give their time up for the good of the farming industry. Water legislation, power, tariff, cooperative marketing, transportation and many other economic problems are to be actively taken up during the coming year. Preparations will be made this month for a thorough membership campaign to start in the early part of January. Tustin, Anaheim and Cypress have already endorsed the move for greater dues and a more efficient Farm Bureau. President W. M. Belding, Tustim, H. B. Woodrough, Costa Mesa; W. L. York, La Habra and Farm Advisor Wahlberg will meet this week to work out a detailed plan of systematic county canvass. THOUSANDS OF NEW CARS Orange county is tied with Kern county for fourth place among Southern California counties in the number of new automobiles purchased since the first of the year. Both counties have reported the registration of 2,293 cars since January 1, 1920. so far this year in the new car registrations. They are the Buick, the Chevrolet and the Ford. Buick with 2695, leads its nearest class competitor by more than 1000. It is very probable that the Novem-big registrations will show another healthy total because of better delivery conditions. For instance purchasers earlier in the year had to wait weeks for Buick deliveries, but large trainload shipments have materially cut down the time between the purchase and he turning over of the new car to the owner by he distributing agency. The new 1921 Buick was greeted with an advance list of orders totaling something like 2000, but the immense shipments have been cutting rapidly into this. TENT CITIÈS CONDEMNED That relief in the housing situation in Southern California should come through the erection of permanent houses rather than by co-operative effort of a community in providing tent houses or barracks, is the opinion of a majority of the secretaries of commercial organizations of Southern California. This fact was developed at a meeting of the secretaries held in Los Angeles Saturday. The conference was primarily for the purpose of considering the situation and was held at the instance of Frank Wiggins, secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber. The majority of the secretaries expressed themselves as believing that a "tent city" would be detrimental to any community that attempted to establish such a community home for strangers. It was the concensus of opinion that efforts should be directed toward THOUSANDS OF NEW CARS Orange county is tied with Kern county for fourth place among Southern California counties in the number of new automobiles purchased since the first of the year. Both counties have reported the registration of 2,293 cars since January 1, 1920. Orange county jumped from fifth place to a tie for fourth place through its large registration of new machines during the month of October. The number of new cars brought into the county last month was 292. The first ten months of this year have added 40,106 new cars to Southern California's list, the October contribution being 4,483, 2985 of which came from Los Angeles county. Of Los Angeles county's quota, the city of Los Angeles furnished 1776 making a total of 14,200 new cars registered by the largest city west of St. Louis since the beginning of the year. Three makes of car have gone over the 2500 mark in Southern California primarily for the purpose of considering the situation and was held at the instance of Frank Wiggins, secretary of the Los Angeles Chamber. The majority of the secretaries expressed themselves as believing that a "tent city" would be detrimental to any community that attempted to establish such a community home for strangers. It was the concensus of opinion that efforts should be directed toward demonstrating that building of residences is a good investment, and that men of finances can make good returns on building operations. Basing their statements on investigations which they had conducted, a number of the secretaries stated that there is little probability of building costs being reduced within the next five or six years. Wiggins advised the secretaries that tourists are coming in larger numbers even than last year. He stated that the percentage of new comers who are looking for permanent homes is greater than ever before. Metzgar was honored by being made chairman of the conference.
