GARDEN GROVE DAIRY MEETING BIG SUCCESS Feeding, Cowtesting And Purebred Selection Discussed Prof. E. C. Voorhels, dairy specialist from the State College of Agriculture, Berkeley, spoke to about 50 dairymen at Garden Grove last Thursday evening on the subject of feeding the dairy cow for profit. A very interesting talk on practical feeding was given. Prof. Voorhels discussed the problem of feeding dairy cows as two seasons. In winter the big difficulty confronting the dairyman is green feed. Silage is recognized as the standard winter succulent for the most dairies. The speaker maintained that Indian corn being the standard silage crop is almost a necessity. The average dairyman figures amount All the kiddies in Northern Orange county are to receive a treat this afternoon. They are to be the guests of the Anaheim Elks, who extend to them an invitation to participate in a Christmas entertainment and get in close touch with Santa Claus. The Elks hitherto have used only the Grand Theater for their Christmas entertainments, but it was found that the children were too numerous to be accommodated in one house, consequently the Rialto at Fullerton has also been engaged this year and entertainments will be given simultaneously at the two houses. The Grand is supposed to have a capacity of 700 adults, but the small folks can double up in the seats, and it has been known to find room for 1500 children. The Rialto is probably as large as the Grand, consequently there will be room in both places for all who are old enough and young enough to attend. The invitation is extended to all who are under fourteen. This entertainment is especially intended for the unfortunates whose chances of receiving a visit from Santa at their homes are uncertain, and it is hoped all such will attend. AT THE M. E. CHURCH ... The annual Christmas entertainment was given at the Methodist White Temple Tuesday evening with an unusually interesting program. The Cantata "The King Of Peace" was given, with fifp adult voices and a chorus of one hundred Sunday School children. Following is the program: 1. Processional, March Magi Dubois. 2. Prayer, Pastor Dr. James Allen Geissinger. 3. Song, Mary Xmas, Long Long Ago, Luther, Cradle Roll Department. 4. Song, Cradle Hymn, Luther, Beginner's Department. 5. Song, Christmas Bells, Hudson Primary Department. 6. Ladies' Quartette, Silent Night, Gruber. 7. Scripture, Alfred Borney. 8. Ladies Sextette, Lamb Of God the Heavens Adore Thee. 9. Baritone Solo, The Annunciation Mr. E. A. Collins. 10. Choir, Hall Thou That Art Highly Favored. 11. Soprano Solo, While Shepherd Watched, Mrs. Stafford Simms. 12. Come Thou Long Expected Jesus 13. Baritone Solo, No Room In The Room Mr. E. A. Campbell accompanied day evening on the subject of feeding the dairy cow for profit. A very interesting talk on practical feeding was given. Prof. Voorheis discussed the problem of feeding dairy cows as two seasons. In winter the big difficulty confronting the dairyman is green feed. Silage is recognized as the standard winter succulent for the most dairies. The speaker maintained that Indian corn being the standard silage crop is almost a necessity. The average dairyman figures amount of concentrate on milk production, but Prof. Voorhies explained why ration of concentrates should be weighed out according to butterfat. Seven pounds grain to one of butterfat or one pound grain to five pounds of milk. The old dairymen always followed the rule of stop feeding cow when turning her dry, but he advises keeping a dry cow on a gaining ration until she freshens. C. V. Castle of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who has charge of cowtesting in six western states, gave a very interesting talk on what other sections in this and other states are really doing along the line of cow-testing. The progressive dairymen that are now having their cows tested were advised and instructed to keep record so estimates on feeding each cow every month can be figured. By testing and by figuring costs, Castle said dairymen may figure out profits or loss on each cow for any given month. Pedigree papers do not always guarantee a good producer, according to G.M.Brown of Burr Creamery Company. He maintained that too many scrub purebreds were being sold for breeding stock and it is a problem that the owner of purebreds must face and help to eliminate. Farm Advisor, H.E.Wahlberg spoke on the need for close co-operation of county dairymen with Farm Bureau to help that organization solve the big questions that are facing farmers in Orange County at this time. Refreshments of coffee, sandwiche and apples were served free.

They are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs, Sr., and will remain probably until today. Mr. Knapke has been with the Oxnard company for twenty-five years, having started at Chino in 1895. He subsequently sent to Rocky Ford, Col., and later to Michigan and Louisiana, where the company has large sugar plantations. He came to Oxnard several years ago, and has been advanced until he is now assistant master mechanic of the sugar mill. Henry was born in Anaheim, and is making a record for himself of which he may justly feel proud. The mill's output of sugar this year amounted to 800,000 bags. Oranges badly infected by the purple scale were seized in Long Beach Thursday on the municipal market by Joseph R. Hyans, horticultural inspector for Los Angeles county, and Market Master Squire F. DuRee of Long Beach has cancelled for a few days the permit of the vendor. The oranges, in the opinion of Hyans, were shipped in from Orange county. He will make a thorough inspection of other markets and stands to see if the fruit has been scattered through the city. DuRee has been working for some time for an ordinance that will extend his authority to all sources of produce, receipt and distribution, and it is believed that his object will be soon accomplished. Under the plan, every box or bag or basket of fruit or vegetables coming into Long Beach would be subject to rigid inspection and all vendors would be licensed. Mrs. A.

Announcement from Washington that an emergency tariff law is likely to be enacted immediately for the protection of certain products and the relief of the treasury, has stimulated the growers of Southern California, and especially of Orange County, to speedy action. Lemon growers of this county, especially see an opportunity to save themselves from financial ruin by the incorporation in this ANAHEIM WOMAN SEES BLOODY CUTTING AFFRAY Mrs. Hugh Elkinn Has Exciting Experience On Texas Train Mrs. Hugh Elkins of 416 South Olive, daughter of Gene Johnson, returned home the first of the week from a visit to friends in Texas. Mrs Elkins relates the hair-raising experience she had on a train while traveling from Waco to Georgetown on Sunday, December 12. At a station between the two points a Mexican, who was either locoel, insane or drunk on prohibition booze, entered the car. He was armed with a big knife and soon made it plain to all he was out to kill. The first man he attacked was a drummer, meeting him in the aisle, directly by the side of Mrs. Elkins' seat. He slashed the drummere' throat from ear to ear, almost severing his head from his body. Another man who attempted to interfere received like treatment, his throat being horribly slashed. He then stabbed and slashed two women, a young lady and her mother who tried to protect her. Leaving the drummer dead and the other victims seriously injured the Mexican then sprang from the train. Word of his bloody deed was sent out and he was soon captured by PLACENTIA MAN FALLS AMONG THIEVES ATTACKED BY TWO FOOTPADS WHILE GIVING THEM A RIDE INTO TOWN: Struggles With The Thugs Until He Falls Unconscious on The Highway — Approaching Autoist Frightens Them Away Before Their Victim Is Robbed. His Injuries Not Serious. While desperately battling with a couple of highway robbers on the boulevard near the south city limits Sunday evening, Oscar Carlson bank into unconsciousness and was picked up by a passing autoist shortly afterward. He was taken to the sanitarium still in an unconscious condition and was in a delirium for several hours. There were no marks on his head or about his body to indicate that he had been slugged, therefore it is presumed that a cloth was thrown over his Announcement from Washington that an emergency tariff law is likely to be enacted immediately for the protection of certain products and the relief of the treasury, has stimulated the growers of Southern California, and especially of Orange County, to speedy action. Lemon growers of this county, especially see an opportunity to save themselves from financial ruin by the incorporation in this law of a provision that will protect them from the cheap Sicilian product, and are taking steps to acquaint congressmen with their needs. Congressman Osborne of Los Angeles is the man who started the move for protection of our home product, and who in leading the fight for the lemon schedule. The Citrus Protection League is furnishing him with information and figures relative to the industry nad its losing struggle under the present democratic tariff law, and there is little doubt that Osborne with the aid of other California Congressmen will be able to get recognition for his schedule. California and the Eleventh Congress district are now in a position to demand protection, as the state gave Harding 400,000 plurality and Swing carried this district by 37,000. The Orange County Fruit exchange has taken the lead in this county in demanding relief for the lemon growers, and in communication with Congressman Kettner. They are urging him to keep in the fight to save the lemon grower. Kettner is a democrat and for eight years has been a supporter of Woodrow Wilson, who is a rapid free trader, but he certainly understands the need of protection to the citrus grower in the district which he has represented in Congress for eight years, and it is believed he will help save the lemon growers. It is believed that a tariff of two cents per pound should be placed on lemons at this time. The Citrus Protective league, which has headquarters in Los Angeles and to which both association and independent shippers belong, wired to Osborne giving him figures that can be used by him in making his fight. It was shown that lemons have been bringing an average price of $2.22 a box and that it costs $5.00 a box to produce the lemons and get them to an Eastern market. The movement to place emergency tariffs upon a number of products seat. He shushed the drummers throat from ear to ear, almost severing his head from his body. Another man who attempted to interfere received like treatment, his throat being horribly slashed. He then stabbed and elapsed two women, a young lady and her mother who tried to protect her. Leaving the drummer dead and the other victims seriously injured the Mexican then sprang from the train. Word of his bloody deed was sent out and he was soon captured by ranchers in the neighborhood. The affair on the train occurred within a few feet of where Mrs. Elkins was sitting. ANOTHER SUIT FILED FOR GIBSON REWARD Constable West Wants Supervisors To Pay Him $500. Constable J. M. West, of Needles, who officially took Mose Gibson, the negro slayer of Roy Trapp, into custody at Topoc, Arizona, and who held him at Needles until the arrival of Sheriff C. E. Jackson, had on file against Orange county a suit through which he will cook to collect the $500 reward offered by the board of supervisors for the "apprehension and conviction of the slayer of Roy Trapp." West's suit follows closely on the heels of a suit filed a few days ago by Fred Lewis, telegraph operator; at Topoc, who recognized Mose Gibson when the latter applied at his window for a ticket to Albuquerque, N.M., and telegraphed to Needles for someone to come to Topoc and take Gibson into custody. West claims in his complaint that he went into Arizona "as a private citizen, and not otherwise" after having seen in the newspapers that "suspicion had fallen on one MoseGibson." He claims that it was he who apprehended Gibson at Topoc as the latter was boarding a train, and hence is entitled to the reward. Immediately following the arrest of Gibson, West appeared in Santa Ana and tried to collect at once the $500 from the board of supervisors. On the advice of District Attorney L. A. West, the board delayed action pending investigation. Later Lewis filed an application for the reward. The board of supervisors turned down both claims, leaving either or both claimants to sue for the reward. Thus placing a court decision on file in favor of the one winning the case. The board would then be protected in paying the money. While desperately battling with a couple of highway robbers on the boulevard near the south city limits Sunday evening, Oscar Carlson rank unconsciousness and was picked up by a passing autoist shortly afterward. He was taken to the sanitarium still in an unconscious condition and was in a delirium for several hours. There were no marks on his head or about his body to indicate that he had been slugged, therefore it is presumed that a cloth was thrown over his head when the holdup men first attacked him, was saturated with chloroform. Carlson is a young Placentia rancher. He was driving up from the south Sunday night in his auto, and about 11 o'clock when passing the county hospital, two men accosted him and asked for a lift into this city, explaining that they had missed the stage. On Carlson's invitation they climbed into the rear seat. Just inside the city limits, in front of Dr. Truxaw's residence, they asked him to stop, and immediately assaulted him, first throwing a cloth or garment over his head. Carlson put up a fight. He has no recollection of being struck with anything, but he soon lost his senses and fell to the ground. The last he remembered was hearing one of the men say a machine was coming down the road and they had better beat it. The opportune arrival of this car saved him from being robbed and perhaps seriously injured. The thieves faded into an orchard and the car which frightened them away carried Carlson into the city. Carlson was an aviator during the war and during his delirious hours imagined that he had just had an encounter with a German flyer and had been considerably battered up. It was found by the physicians that he had not been seriously damaged, and Monday he was able to be taken home. Inasmuch as this portion of the state appears to be overrun with bad men and thieves this winter authorities are warning people to be careful in their dealings with strangers. Autoists are especially warned to not take strangers into their cars in the night. NEED MORE MONEY Their needs for increased salaries and for additional deputies were pointed out to the grand jury by a number of Orange county officers. The grand jury is making its investigations into the needs of the councils of Orlando plantations not "an angel city's have... Protective league quarters in Los Angeles and to which both association and independent shippers belong, wired to Osborne giving him figures that can be used by him in making his fight. It was shown that lemons have been bringing an average price of $2.22 a box and that it costs $5.00 a box to produce the lemons and get them to an Eastern market. The movement to place emergency tariffs upon a number of products seems to have spring up suddenly at Washington. Citrus men had no warning of the fact that an emergency measure would be presented. Congressman Osborne, Republican immediately took up the fight to have lemons included. He wired to G. Harold Powell and others in Los Angeles. E. B. Collier, manager of the Central Lemon Growers' Association, that is the largest lemon association in the state, said that he was going to wire to Kettner at once. "There can be no question about the justice of our claim for an emergency tariff," said Collier. "I believe that Kettner will put his shoulder to the wheel with Osborne, and there is a possibility that we can get the two cent tariff." At the present time the tariff is four tenths of a cent a pound. Seven years ago the tariff was one and a half cents. The present tariff has proven wholly inadequate to protect the growers. Mrs. A. Squire and Mrs. I. W. Fergus acted as hostesses to the Star whist club at the Temple Friday afternoon. Mrs. John Kellenberger won first prize in the games, Mrs. Eva Boyd second. Mrs. J. A. Clayes third and Mrs. G. M. Simpson fourth. An appetizing luncheon was served by the ladies. The board of supervisors turned down both claims, leaving either or both claimants to sue for the reward. Thus placing a court decision on file in favor of the one winning the case. The board would then be protected in paying the money. West in his complaint states that he went to Topoc after reading in the newspapers that "one Mose Gibson" was suspected of having committed the crime. At the time the arrest was made, Gibson's name was not known. The description obtained in Orange county from the man who sold the flashlight battery, which description was sent broadcast through the press, merely named Trapp's slayer as "a negro," the description of his height, appearance, and of his clothing following. Previous to Gibson's capture, the negro spent the night in Needles, where West is constable, committed several burglaries, and took the train to Topoc without being suspected or apprehended by Constable West, or any other authorities in Needles. When Fred Lewis visited Santa Ana about two months ago he brought with him a petition to the board of supervisors, voluntarily gotten up and signed by 275 residents of Needles stating that Lewis was the man that apprehended Gibson, and asking that he be given the reward. Constable West is represented by Attorneys T. W. Duckworth and John L. Campbell, of San Bernardino. Lewis is represented by Eden and Koespel, of Santa Ana. It is expected that the case will come to trial some time early in January. Need more money Their needs for increased salaries and for additional deputies were pointed out to the grand jury by a number of Orange county officers. The grand jury is making its investigations into the needs of the county officers called State Senator Walter Eden and Assemblyman-elect W. O. Hart into session with it. Principals in county offices are now serving upon a salary schedule that was adopted through the county government bill passed by the legislature of 1917. The 1921 legislature can raise salaries, but so far as the principals are concerned the salary changes cannot go into effect until the beginning of the new terms in 1923. Salaries of deputies can be raised, however, and can become effective 90 days after adjournment of the 1921 legislature. Additional deputies can be provided for offices that need them. Among those who were called by the grand jury was Miss Justice Whitney, county recorder. The number of deputies provided for Miss Whitney's office is limited by the county government act. With the increase that there has been in real estate activities during the past two years, the office has been fairly swamped. Recording has been two and three months behind. The attitude taken by the county officers as frequently expressed, and probably reiterated before the grand jury is that the offices ought to be put upon a fair basis for the next incumbents, whether the incumbents be the ones now in office or others.

Petitions are being circulated Friday from the office of City Attorney Launer for the incorporation of 53 acres, comprising the present sewer farm. The tract lies adjacent to the city on Magnolia Avenue at the end of Commonwealth. The petition, with the required number signatures, will probably be presented to the Board of Trustees at their next meeting. A special election to vote on the incorporation of this territory will be called when the petition is acted upon by the Board of Supervisors. The city's sewer farm was recently endangered when the adjacent town of Orangethorpe proceeded to incorporate both the sewer and water plants. Had the Board of Supervisors not "trimmed" the territory from Orangethorpe's map it is likely the city's sewer and water systems would have been legislated out of existence. Fearing another attempt at incorporation might endanger the plant the City Trustees are proceeding to get the territory into the city limits so that Fullerton will have unmolested control.

Consequently J. M. Bertonneau and William Dunkerly were sent down from the Crown City to hold converse with our Chamber of Commerce officials and endeavor to stimulate them into action which would get results. These gentlemen were here some days ago in consultation with H. D. Riley, president and Malcolm Frazer, secretary of the Chamber, and the result is, Anaheim will most probably be in line with the other progressive cities of Southern California, when the great pageant passes before the eyes of 300,000 visitors on New Year's Day. After conferring with these gentlemen, Mr Riley made a convass among the business houses, and found that sentiment favoring participation in the parade was almost unanimous. Furthermore in a short space of time he secured subscriptions for half the amount necessary to construct the float, and expressed himself as practically certain the balance could be raised. It is proposed to raise $400 for the purpose. The work of constructing and designing the float will be placed in the hands of Howard E. Gates. Gates is the man who built the float which captured first prize in the Armistice day parade, and with $400.00 at his command he will no doubt produce something creditable. ARTESIAN WATER WASTE REMEDY ADVOCATED Orange county ranchers will be protected against the careless use and waste of artesian water if a proposed bill discussed by the Farm Bureau directors at their regular monthly meeting Friday at the Farm Bureau office, is passed by the State legislature. After a lengthy discussion the directors decided to refer the matter to the legislative committee with instructions to consult Senator-elect Eden of Santa Ana and Assemblyman-elect William O. Hart of Orange. The committee is to consider the advisability of pushing the bill through the legislature in its present form. The trend of the discussion was to effect that the directors real- MOTIONED by McFadden seconded by Thamer, president and secretary authorized to sign one year lease with Alex Morales and J. F. Engle for the use of the warehouse in the back of the office at Anaheim. Upon motion the following transfers of stock were granted: 25 shares Ella B. Fiske to Ella B. Fiske, Pledgee for C. S. Chaprian; 8 shares F. P. Wood to be divided 5 shares to O. R. and B. P. Brown and 3 shares to F. P. Wood; 35 shares W. L. Finney to Martha E. Finney. Application of transfer of stock from Pierre Nicholas Estate to the heirs was referred to Attorney McFadden. Motioned by McFadden seconded by Thamer warrant ordered drawn to Bishop & Wellington for $587.87. Motioned by McFadden seconded by Thamer warrant ordered drawn to Los Angeles Trust and Savings Bank for $14,674.13 for principal and interest on outstanding bonds. Communication read from the West Coast Dredging Co., stating that they would send a man down to inspect the Tuffree reservoir relative to cleaning same if the company would pay one half the traveling expense from Antioch to Anaheim and return. Upon motion by Dwyer seconded by Thamer, secretary instructed to notify West Coast Dredging Co., that they would accept this proposition. Mr. William Mauerhan came before the board with checks for $1250.00 with the request that the company sign quit claim deeds for right of way on South Palm street and west of the Garden Grove road. Motioned by McFadden seconded by Beazley president an secretary authorized to execute quit claim deeds for right of way on South Palm street and west of Garden Grove road. After a lengthy discussion the directors decided to refer the matter to the legislative committee with instructions to consult Senator-elect Eden of Santa Ana and Assemblyman-elect William O. Hart of Orange. The committee is to consider the advisability of pushing the bill through the legislature in its present form. The trend of the discussion was to the effect that the directors realize the need for action. Protection of the artesian water rights of Orange county ranchers is considered imperative. The directors gave special attention to the report of H. B. Woodrough, who is heading the Farm Bureau membership campaign. Woodrough announced that the work done had been very satisfactory and that the campaign, which is doing educational work along the lines of Farm Bureau activities at the present time is progressing favorably. The campaign for new members will start on January 12. George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, gave his idea on the proposed changes in the fertilizer law. McPhee advocated a plan of co-operation for users of the barnyard manure. He urges the purchasing of such manure on an analysis basis and in large quantities. This, he said would obviate the necessity for a change in the fertilizer law. This law, according to McPhee, is efficient in the case of commercial fertilizers, but the matter of barnyard manures can be handled better by the co-operation of the users. The directors were of the opinion that plans to guarantee the money value, when buying barnyard fertilizers, should be put into operation.
