PAGE SIX ALLEGED BIGAMIST CHARGES ABDUCTION Mrs. Irene Gibson Thinks She Was Doped. Because she has a 9-year-old son who is about to undergo a serious operation, beautiful Mrs. Irene Gibson, 23, of Glendora, charged with bigamy, is at liberty, having been released on her own recognition pending her preliminary examination. She was arraigned on the charge late Tuesday afternoon in the court of Justice John B. Cox, following her return here from Los Angeles, where she was arrested. Mrs. Gibson wept as she told her story to Justice Cox, and protested she was guiltless of any wrong. She said she had been a friend of Edwin M. Glaze, 22, of San Pedro, who caused the bigamy charge to be placed against her, and that he had pleaded with her to marry him innumerable times, but that she had refused and had told him she was not free to do so. "I am terribly worried about my boy," she said, as her eyes filled with tears. "He has a plaster cast on his leg now, and will be operated upon next week, owing to the condition he was left in following an attack of infantile paralysis. I baked some cookies for him yesterday evening, and put them away in the cupboard. Then I was arrested. I have been wondering all day if he was able to find them." She stated that on October 18 she had been riding with Glaze in an automobile he had rented, and that he pleaded with her for several hours to marry him. He finally drove to Santa Ana. She said she did not know he had taken out a license to marry her. The marriage license records at the courthouse show that Glaze alone applied. "Life has certainly brought me more than my share of troubles. My baby was born when I was 14 years old, before I was old enough to realize anything of the world at all. Bassett Gibson, his father, was sent to prison in 1916, and was released in 1916. He had promised to marry me, and he did so when he was released. I felt bound to marry him for the sake of my child. "Soon after I married him, however, I discovered that he had been married three times before, and had never been divorced from any of his wives. I left him at once, as I did not consider I was morally bound or legally married to him under these conditions. The whole thing was terribly revolting to me. One of these girls was a Miss Talbot of San Francisco, or Oakland, and another was a Miss Levy of Chicago. The last I knew of Mr. Gibson, he was living at Azusa under the name of J. W. Morgan. "I have lived for my boy. I have been working as a drug clerk in Los Angeles. They know of my trouble with Mr. Gibson and that I have been honest and decent and have done everything I could for my boy." Justice Cox was moved by her story and released her on her own recognizance. She appeared with her attorney, John D. Robertson, of Los Angeles. Her preliminary hearing was set for December 30 at 2 p.m. in the justice court. WALNUT INSTITUTE Robert H.

She stated that on October 18 she had been riding with Glaze in an automobile he had rented, and that he pleaded with her for several hours to marry him. He finally drove to Santa Ana. She said she did not know he had taken out a license to marry her. The marriage license records at the courthouse show that Glaze alone applied for the license and swore to the facts. She stated that he wanted her to be married here at once by Justice Cox, but that she had refused. He then, she alleged, took her back to Long Beach, and they had dinner. After this, she said, she did not remember much and believes she was doped. The next thing she remembers, she said, they were in Seal Beach, Glaze got the justice of the peace from his house, drove to his office, and a ceremony was performed. The only thing she remembers hearing Glaze say, according to her story, was, "I'm boss tonight. After tonight you can be boss." After she got back to Long Beach, she stated, she had regained her senses enough to know what had taken place. She immediately left Glaze and took a Pacific Electric car back to her home in Glendora. She was so worried and hysterical, she stated, that she was in bed with delirium for four days, and was attended by a physician. "I cannot imagine why Mr. Glaze has done this," said Mrs Gibson, "for he knows that he is to blame, and he knows that as soon as I recovered my senses enough to realize it I left him at once. I should have taken the advice of my physician, who wanted me to bring immediate action against Mr. Glaze, but I was so weak and so upset over the whole affair that I did not feel I could stand it. Robert H. Neely, newly elected president of the Los Angeles County Farm Bureau, announces that the third annual walnut growers institute held under the joint auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service and Farm Bureau of Los Angeles county, will be held at Whittier, on Friday, January 14, in the Walnut Association packing house. A splendid program covering subjects of particular interest to walnut growers during the present season has been prepared, including addresses from such experts as H. C. Sharp of the Field Department of the Walnut Growers association; Prof. Ralph E. Smith, eminent walnut authority and manger of the Walnut Growers Spray Manufacturing Co.; Dr. L. D. Batchelor in charge of walnut investigational work at the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside; Professors H. J. Quayle, and H. S. Fawcett of the Citrus Experiment Station, and Prof. L. J. Fletcher, head of the division of agricultural engineering at the University Farm, Davis, who will discuss the selection of the orchard tractor. It is planned to have the Institute an all-day affair this year, with a basket lunch coffee to be served by the local farm bureau center. The full program will be announced by Farm Advisor R. W. Hodgson as soon as completed. Among the latest war terrors in a submarine tank, perfected by the French.

The dormant spray at this time of the year serves not only as a fumicide but also as a general cleanup spray. Lime-sulphur is a standard dormant spray for many deciduous trees—the strength: 1 gallon liquid stock solution to 10 gallons of water or the equivalent in dry preparation. Where soft scale insects such as brown apricot scale, soft brown, or black scale are present, an oil emulsion is more effective and should be applied now while the scale are young, soft and in a susceptible stage. The so-called kerosene emulsion and crude oil emulsions have been found effective. The kerosene emulsion is made as follows: Water 10 gal.; Liquid or laundry soap 5 lbs.; kerosene 5 gal. Hot water and soap are thoroughly mixed first and the kerosene added—thorough agitation kept up continually to emulsify. For spraying dormant trees use 1 gal. of stock solution to 5 gal. water. Crude oil emulsion may be prepared as follows: Water 55 gal.; liquid soap, (1 gal.) or whale oil soap 7 lbs.; crude oil 8 gal.; lye 1-2 lb. Dissolve soap in water and add crude oil while agitating solution. This spray is effective as a clean up spray for moss or lichens also. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS Doubtless Secretary of War Baker feels entirely justified in extending clemency to the 33 conscientious objectors who have just been given the freedom enjoyed by some 600 others. despicable crew of objectors emerging from confinement, well fed and unscathed, is not pleasant. Somehow the contemplation of this aroused a feeling of resentment which marred an otherwise placid Thanksgiving day. The records show that more than 600 men who came within the scope of the draft refused to accept furlough for farm work, to be assigned to non-combatant duty or to yield to any sort of military authority. They were classified as conscientious objectors. They revolted at the idea of killing human beings, and therefore they flouted the authority of the government, defied the law and demanded complete exemption from any sort of service. Under the operation of the law, these men were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment, but after the armistice the administration's policy of leniency began to develop and one by one they were released until but 33 remained. Now these have been given their freedom. This action constitutes an insult to every loyal member of the American expeditionary forces. It is the culminating act of a Secretary of War who has been apparently unable to understand the spirit of America. These recalcitrants now turned loose are Americans, not enemy aliens. It was as much their duty to defend America in war as it would be to assist in putting out a fire or defending their families against invaders. For every one of them who skulked and shirked his duty, another American boy suffered extra risk and assumed extra duty. If the proportion of skulkers had been greater, the task of winning the war would have been greater, and a correspondingly greater number of American lives would have been sacrificed. It is not the fault of these skulkers that the United States did not but the orange and lemon market of the entire United States. "We don't care whether or not that wheat is produced in Canada, Argentina, Australia, India, or Russia—we know that it is produced." "So whenever I say things, don't think that I am shooting my head off about something that I don't know anything about." "I want to say that if you could be the controlling factor in the American markets, you would not have to have a headache about world markets." Swift&Co is the biggest factor in making a price on the CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS Doubtless Secretary of War Baker feels entirely justified in extending clemency to the 33 conscientious objectors who have just been given the freedom enjoyed by some 600 others of their lik. But if "the quality of mercy is not strained," why does Secretary Baker not extend his clemency further and open the doors of military prisons to all offenders except murderers? For there lies no type of criminal so repulsive to the patriotic citizen as the cringing, skulking coward who refuses to fight for his flag and country. The commutation of these sentences, Secretary Baker explains, is based upon the principle of remitting so much of them as exceeded the normal peace-time penalty for the offense charged. In other words, it is the government's purpose to apply to the offense, committed in time of war when the nation was threatened by the most powerful enemy that ever oppressed it, the penalty that would have been imposed had these "conscientious objectors" refused service in time of peace. This is indeed mercy carried to the point where it robs the Federal authority of its terrors. When one remembers that in the jails and workhouses of the country thousands of young men are languishing for minor offenses against the laws, and that each of them carries among his most treasured possessions the blue card which testified to his readiness to respond to the call of duty, while many of them bear the scars of battle and some the official badge of courage, the thought of the out a fire or defending their families against invaders. For every one of them who skulked and shirked his duty, another American boy suffered extra risk and assumed extra duty. If the proportion of skulkers had been greater, the task of winning the war would have been greater, and a correspondingly greater number of American lives would have been sacrificed. It is not the fault of these skulkers that the United States did not lose the war. They have no right to enjoy the liberty that they refused to fight for and which others earned for them. They should suffer full deprivation of liberty, up to the limit imposed by the court. Secretary Baker's action is an interference with justice and a reproach to the patriotism of all Americans who fought. This action will not be forgotten, nor will the quickly approaching departure of such a Secretary of War be noted in anything but a thankful spirit. GRAIN SPECULATION TO GO Aaron Sapiro Speaks for American Farm Bureau. "Please understand that I know that wheat is different than prunes. For example, I know just what the production, the average production, is in the United States. I know what the production is in the rest of the world. I know the difficulties of selling a world market. "I want to tell you that the California Fruit Growers' Exchange controls oranges in California. The entire United States only produced about 30 per cent of the oranges in the world. Spain about 30 per cent. Italy about 25 per cent, yet the California Fruit Growers' Exchange has absolutely dominated not merely the orange and lemon market of the West." Y MAS TORE and lemon market of States. whether or not that in Canada, Argenndia, or Russia—we produced. I say things, don't shooting my head off that I don't know anywant to say that if the controlling factor markets, you would be a headache about Swift&Co is the bigking a price on the live stock exchange in Chicago—they handle 15 per cent of the stuff in America, Swift and Armour between them handle less than 26 per cent. The Armour Grain Company—the largest operator here—in their biggest year handled 23 per cent of the grain in this district. So don't get nervous when they say to you that wheat is a world raised product and can't be handled yisely on a commodity basis. California supplies less than 5 per cent of the eggs of the United States, but what we haven't done with the Egg Association wouldn't fill a book. Co-operation, so long as you know what your marketing unit is, and control of the commodity in the unit, will get you anywhere you want to go. In 1916 the speculators handled 100 per cent of the prunes of California. In 1920 the speculators are going to be lucky if they handle 17 per cent of the prune crop of California. We anticipate that by 1925 there will be no prune speculators in California." Let us help start this movement. DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CAR An intensely practical Christmas Gift.
