Accusations made against President Wilson were not mere assertions; they were statements from the record President Wilson had made—a record open to the public view. "It was President Wilson who said that the League of Nations would require the United States to make the "supreme sacrifice" and Republicans accepted that statement as true. They went to the country on the question whether the people of America desire to make a supreme sacrifice. There was no intrigue or untruth in that, unless President Wilson himself uttered the untruth. Can Republicans be censured for that because they accepted the description of the League as President Wilson gave it? "It was President Wilson who started the saturnalia of extravagance by asserting that the people do not care how much money their government spends if they get what they want for it. That was in defense of demands for increased appropriations before there was any thought of war. The language could not be interpreted in any other way than as an excuse for the huge expenditures the administration was making. Men appolated to cabinet positions by President Wilson submitted to Congress through the Secretary of the Treasury, a son-in-law of the President, their annual demands for appropriations and these were granted without stint while the Democrats had control of Congress, and also during the war while the Republicans had control. The Republicans cut two and a half billion out of the demands after the war ended. All this is a matter of record—a record that President Wilson made. Are the Republicans to be held guilty of "intrigue and untruth" because they publish the record as President Wilson has an interest in its problem."

The procedure allels closely California State in placing tha TREES IN HALL OF FAME To mark dates that had a great influence upon American history the arrival of John and Charles Wesley in America and the birthday, January 18 of Daniel Webster—the American Forestry association today announces a list of trees it has placed in its Hall of Fame for trees with a history. John and Charles Wesley arrived in Georgia from England on February 5, 1736, and the Wesley Oak, under which they preached some of their first sermons on the American continent, is nominated for a place in the Hall of Fame by James R. Jay, editor of the Christian Advocate of New York City. The tree is still standing on St Simon's Island. Charles Wesley served as secretary to Gov. Oglethorpe and with him went out to Frederica. As there was no house of worship both of the Wesleys preached their first sermons beneath this oak. In announcing the Webster Tree for a place in the Hall of Fame the association says that a path from this tree, on which the orator hung his soybean when he finally decided to go to Dartmouth College, lead almost to the presidency. Webster twice refused nominations for the vice presidency and both times the head of the ticket on which Webster would have been elected died in office. The nomination of the famous Webster tree is made by Frank N. Hancock of Franklin, N. H. Webster was born in Franklin, Jan 18, 1782. To mark the one hundred and fifteenth anniversary of the pathfinding expedition of Lewis and Clark, it opened up all the Forestry association announces the nomination of the Council Oak of Sioux City for a place in the Hall of Fame. This Oak was the one beneath which that band of pioneers camped and where they held one of their first councils with the Indians after leaving Saint Louis. "It was President Wilson who humilated the nation by describing it as "too proud to fight" and later demanding "peace without victory". Republicans denied that this was a true statement of American spirit. Are Republicans to be held guilty of "intrigue and untruth" because they publish the record as President Wilson made it? "It was President Wilson who demanded power and more power before and during the war, and refused to relinquish any of that power when peace had been restored. It was he who set up an autocracy—an autocracy which hampered American industry and irritated the American people until they demand that officialdom get off their backs. Are Republicans to be held responsible for President Wilson's course in trying to maintain an autocracy in violation of the spirit of American institutions? Are they to be accused of "intrigue and untruth" for accepting the issue of government by men as a substitute for government by law—an issue that President Wilson forced upon the country? "Can the 'World' point out one single specific instance of Republican 'intrigue and untruth'." COUNTING BY TENS While it would involve more or less of a commercial revolution in the United States, the Metric System, which measures everything in tens, is the logical basis for all human computations and measurements. The reason for this is that all of us are equipped with 10 fingers and 10 toes. From the time we were taught to say, "this lit, the pig went to market," our attention is directed to our digests. We normally count in tens. Thus it would seem reasonable for this country to adopt the metric system and do away with our clumsy way of measurements, of miles, pounds, bushels and gallons.

The famous road between Bridgeport and Stratford, Conn., is nominated for a place in the Hall of Fame by Miss Helen Harrison of Bound Brook, N. J. NO "INTRIGUE" OR "UNTRUTH" "Not content to let the dead past bury it's dead, the New York World goes out of its way to revive old campaign controversies and asserts that the Republicans engaged in a campaign of "intrigue and untruth" against President Wilson," says the Republican Publicity Association in a statement issued today through its President, Hon Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "Republicans are desirous of dismissing from mind the quarrels and discussions of the campaign, for there is work of utmost importance to be done in rescuing the nation from the deplorable condition to which Democratic policies and practices have brought it. But if the leader of the Democratic press, like President Wilson, himself, refuses to have peace, then let the conflict go on. In a review of old issues, the Republicans have nothing to fear.

All thisrecord thatme the Realityof“in-they publustWilson has an interesting bearing on California's problem of water conservation. While the Columbia River project is lesser magnitude than the California Plan, the report of the preliminary survey discloses a striking parallel between the two undertakings as regarding many problems of construction and reveals furthermore the fact that Washington, with resources and population far less than that of California, is hopelessly engaged in accomplishing the task. The Columbia River basin project would necessitate the construction of about 1000 miles of canals and a large number of dams and reservoirs, the estimated cost of which would be $300,000,000. The estimates for the Marshall plan, which provides for about 1600 miles of canals, range from $500,000,000 to $750,000,000. The Washington project involves much different construction and according to the special survey some of the engineering obstacles are greater than any which would be encountered in the Marshall Plan, with the possible exception of the lock and draw dam at Army Point. It would require, for instance, a duct across the Spokane River with one hundred foot spans carrying a stream 20 feet deep and 82 feet wide. It includes 80 miles of tunnels of diameters up to 33 feet, whereas the Marshall plan provides for one inverted siphon the Washington project will require numerous siphons up to 23 feet in diameter. Even with this expensive construction it is estimated that the storage cost of water would be only $1.59 per acre-foot. California farmers are now paying as high as $15.00 per acre-foot for water. The procedure in this project parallels closely the campaign of the California State Irrigation Association in placing the Marshall plan before hevent. One application suffices, for the nits which hatch later, as well as the adult lice, are killed by their first feed on mercurial ointment. Application under the wings is not necessary and should be avoided. Sodium Fluoride. A more recent discovery in louse eradication is the use of sodium fluoride. It comes as a white powder and may be used by distributing ten or twelve small pinches of the powder in the bird's plumage. It is also used as a dip, one to each gallon of water being the proper strength. Sodium fluoride used in this manner is particularly effective in eradicating all kinds of lice, but many poultrymen are prejudiced against dipping hens. DUSTING—Dust boxes are of doubtful value in eradicating lice although they may help to a slight extent in their control. Lice breathe through spiracles in the sides of the edomen and the function of dust is to suffocate them by choking up these holes with fine dust. Lice powders work on the same principle although the effectiveness of the powder is too often enhanced by the addition of a chemical which gives off destructive fumes. This is especially true of the home-made powder made by mixing crude carbolic acid and gasoline in plaster of paris or cement. Scaly legs are caused by a tiny white mite which embeds itself beneath the scales on the fowl's legs. On old birds they often become quite unsightly and cause damage. Cure is easily affected by the use of some penetrating oil. A mixture of kerosene and raw oilseed oil is a common and convenient treatment. Oil of caraway is the most efficient of all treatment and the cost may be minimized by diluting it with vaseline. of the State. Its field of engineers are authorized to give aid and advice to the extent of their ability, upon request. It is their endeavor to study the problems and difficulties encountered by operators in their district and the State Mining Bureau publishes reports from time to time covering the results of their investigations. The Bureau maintains a laboratory in the San Francisco office in which free determinations of unknown minerals are made for prospectors, miners and others; publications on special and general phases of the mineral industry are distributed from all branch offices, and in many ways, too numerous ways, the bureau will be found to be of service by those caring to avail themselves of its facilities. While the Southern Counties of California have a mining record of which they may well be proud, it is Mr. Hamilton's belief that their possibilities in this regard have been barely indicated to date. With the industrial growth of the Pacific Coast and with increased transportation facilities; the mineral resources of this region will become even more important in the wealth and prosperity of the entire State than they have been in the past. NEW DIVISION OPENED What is said to be the greatest impetus given yet to the commercial transportation of passengers and freight by motor car was administered when the Automobile Club of Southern California officially opened its new division for commercial cars. This is the most advanced and radical step ever taken by a motoring organization in the United States. The purpose of the new division of Marshall plan provides for one inverted siphon the Washington project will require numerous siphons up to 23 feet in diameter. Even with this expensive construction it is estimated that the storage cost of water would be only $1.39 per acre-foot. California farmers are now paying as high as $15.00 per acre-foot for water. The procedure in this project parallels closely the campaign of the California State Irrigation Association in placing the Marshall plan before he public. An educational plan was first begun, as a result of which the 1919 legislature voted an appropriation for a preliminary survey. A special commission was appointed. The State hydraulic engineer was named as chairman and directed to appoint four additional members. The United States Reclamation Service assigned B.C. Henry and James Munn as consulting commission. A staff of engineers was appointed for special consultation. A significant detail appears in the fact that the researches of the commission were based upon the contour lines, established under the direction of Colonel Robert Bradford Marshall, who now offers his comprehensive plan of water reclamation to California. These lines disclosed numerous reservoir sites which were proven by the commission by drilling for underlying strata and determining the soundness of walls for dam structure. The report is an entire vindication of the soundness of Colonel Marshall's topographic surveys as the basis of water reclamation. The water enterprise provides for the storage of the accumulated waters of the Snake and Columbia Rivers near their unction, bringing under cultivation an area of nearly 2,000,000 acres of land. As the Snake river traverses Idaho the project necessitates an adjustment between the two states. The report sets forth the fact that this matter may be easily arranged. This is of particular interest in view of the fact that it had been suggested that the proposed diversion of the Klamath River into the headwaters of the Sacramento might give rise to a similar problem. Of outstanding importance is the fact that a sister state whose resources in wealth and population are far less than that of California is going bravely ahead in a project paralleling closely the Marshall plan. In this enterprise, Washington is just two years ahead of California but the passage of an appropriation bill for a preliminary survey.

EXCITING INCIDENT IN COURT A gripping scene was enacted in the court room of Justice of the Peace Cox late Friday afternoon during the preliminary hearing of Clarence E McCoy on a bigamy charge. When Attorney Guy Eddie of Los Angeles, representing the defendant, requested that W.C. Risdon, a spectator, be searched for arms. Risdon, former husband of Mrs. McCoy, was said to have made threats against both the prisoner and Mrs. McCoy and it was said to have been at the suggestion of the latter that Eddie demanded that Risdon be searched. "I have good reason to believe that man has a gun in his possession and that he is about to use it," said Eddie. "I ask that the officer present search him at once." Mrs. McCoy turned pale and declared that she too was afraid of Risdon. She jumped out of the witness chair and rushed to McCoy who was seated next to his attorney, and put one arm about his shoulder. A search by Constable revealed no weapon. "That man is crazy," Risdon anounced, pointing to McCoy as Justice Cox raped for order. McCoy was arrested some time ago upon a complaint even to by Mrs. Delva McCoy of Los Angeles. Mrs. McCoy was testifying when Eddie interrupted proceedings by his request that Risdon be searched. Mrs. McCoy was proving an unwilling witness at the time of interruption. She said that after their marriage her husband told her that he had another wife living in Missouri. She also said that her marriage to Risdon had been annulled when it was found that he had another wife living. She said that Risdon is the father of her seven-year-old child but that McCoy paid for the child's support. It also developed at the hearing that since McCoy's arrest his first wife had received a final decree for NEW DIVISION OPENED What is said to be the greatest impetus given yet to the commercial transportation of passengers and freight by motor car was administered when the Automobile Club of Southern California officially opened its new division for commercial cars. This is the most advanced and radical step ever taken by a motoring organization in the United States. The purpose of the new division of the Auto Club is to promote the general business of transporting persons and property by motor vehicles for compensation, but without promoting the business of any one individual engaged in any branch of such business. Also for the encouragement of the lawful operation of commercial motor cars of all kinds, and the securing of just legislation concerning the ownership and use of commercial motor vehicles. The club will also render the same service to the commercial motor vehicle owners that it does to the owners of private passenger cars. The tremendous job of formation of such a department by the Automobile Club is seen, point out local motorists, when it is realized that its branch offices in every city of the southern part of the state will be thus established as official bureaucats for the use of the owners of commercial vehicles as well as for the owners of passenger pleasure machines. Thus commercial owners will have representation in every part of the southern counties such as has been enjoyed by only the pleasure cars. Directors and officials of the Auto Club are firmly of the opinion that the formation of this division of the organization will be an important factor in the promotion of safe and same operation of auto stages and trucks on public highways, and for close co-operation between the owners of pleasure vehicles and the owners of all commercial vehicles in a fratricial spirit of safety and equality which has become imperative.

Hen houses open to the air and sun, dry and well ventilated are easy to keep clean. The ordinary louse is almost universally present in poultry flocks. Its life history is comparatively simple and spent entirely upon the host where the egg or "nits" are laid and hatched. METHOD OF ERADICATION Mercurial Ointment. The most convenient and one of the most effective methods of eradicating lice is by poisoning them with a mercurial ointment commonly known as "blue ointment." The ointment as purchased from the pharmacy, is mixed with about an equal amount of vaseline and a portion of the mixture the size of a pea, is applied with the finger tip directly to the hen's skin beneath the NEW MINING OFFICIAL State Mintralogist Fletcher Hamilton announces the appointment of Chas. S. Haley as District Engineer in charge of the Southern California Field Division of the California State Mining Bureau with offices in the Pacific Finance Bldg., 6th and Olive Sts., Los Angeles. Mr. Haley succeeds W. B. Tucker, who has resigned to engage in mining in Mexico. He comes to the Mining Bureau well prepared to carry on the local work. Since graduating from the University of California in 1907 he has actively engaged in mining engineering throughout California as well as in other states of the West, and in Alaska and South America. He will welcome the opportunity to become personally acquainted with the mining public of Southern California, and extends a cordial invitation to all to make his office their headquarters when in Los Angeles. The Mining Bureau is anxious in all possible ways to assist in the development of the mineral resources Application blanks for membership in the commercial car division, state, on the part of the applicant: "I understand that it is the policy of the Automobile Club of Southern California to uphold and assist in the enforcement of all laws regulating the operation of motor vehicles. I hereby subscribe to this policy and agree to operate the vehicles described above (as owned by applicant) in accordance with such laws and particularly with those regulating speed, weight and the rules of the road, and with the regulations of the California Railroad Commission insofar as they may be applicable to my business." The Executive Committee of the Motor Carriers Association has bound that organization to accept those terms and has urged all members of the association to affiliate themselves with the Auto Club as soon as possible, declaring that it is a step far in advance of anything of the kind yet proposed by any other state. WATER COMPANY MEETING Regular meeting of the Board of Directors of Anaheim Union Water Company was held Saturday afternoon. Director Dwyer of the Ditch Committee reported that John Beneke has requested that the Company pipe the open cement ditch in front of his place on the West Ball road, Anaheim. It was motioned by Thamer, seconded by Annin that this be referred to the Superintendent. Report of the Treasurer and Superintendent read and upon motion accepted and ordered filed. Report of the Finance Committee accepted and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. Upon motion the following transfers of stock were granted: Walter Hartman 8 shares to be divided, 3 shares to John Beneke, and 5 shares to Herman Stern; 10 shares Hemphill and Christenson to Guarantee Trust and Savings Bank, a corporation; 1 1-2 shares Bernard Hilenz to P. C. Curtis; 3 shares to F. P. Wood to be divided, one share to Laura C. Gregory and 2 shares to F. P. Wood; 32 shares John Hartung, Pledgee for W. W. Adams to Argus Adams; 10 shares O. R. Brown to O. R. Brown and V. P. Brown. Upon motion by Dwyer, seconded by Thamer, transfer of twenty shares from the Bremmerman estate to be transferred to E. E. Beazley and J. W. Hetebrink upon condition that J. C. Smith send certified copy of his power of attorney. Motioned by Beazley, seconded by Annin ten shares from the Allec Gardner Estate to be transferred upon condition that satisfactory surety bond be put up for certificates of stock representing eight shares lost or misplaced. Communication read from Amalgamated Oil Company stating that they intended to abandon well No. 228 on the La Habra reservoir lease. This was referred to the Superintendent, he to take it up with the State Oil Commission and see that the well is properly plugged. Communication read from Francis Cuttle with regard to the Trash remover. It was motioned by Annin and seconded by Beazley that this be referred to the Superintendent. Communication from Robison Farmer with regard to getting refund on Income tax and Capital Stock tax. Motioned by Dwyer seconded by Beazley, Secretary to inform Mr. Farmer that we would accept his proposition. The matter of purchasing an addressograph and posting machine was COX'S SUNRISE COURT FAILS TO MATERIALIZE Sheriff Jackson Steps in and Qualls Fued in Its Incipiency The glowing embers of the near feud between Justice of the Peace John B. Cox and authorities of Anaheim did not burst into flame Tuesday morning, contrary to expectations. In other words, the scheduled "sunrise court" before Justice Cox failed to materialize. The reason was that Sheriff C. E. Jackson appeared before Justice Cox and asked that the Anaheim police officers be excused from appearing at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning in Cox's court as witnesses against three vagrants, whose cases, Cox had maintained, should have come before the Justice of the Peace at Anaheim. Jackson told Cox that he alone was responsible for the three men, who were arrested in Anaheim, being brought to Santa Ana instead of before Justice of the Peace J. S. Howard at the Mother Colony. Whether or not the Anaheim police officers were disappointed that the sunrise court had been called off was not learned. At any rate, Cox seemed a bit sorry that the court did not materialize. Jackson explained that on the night last week that a country-wide search was conducted for the man who seized Mrs. Roy Trapp near Artesia and kissed her, he issued instructions to every officer to bring all suspects before him. It so happened that the three alleged vagrants were picked up at Anaheim. Under Sheriff E. E. French came into Ahaheim on business and the authorities there turned the three men Communication read from Francis Cuttle with regard to the Trash remover. It was motioned by Annin and seconded by Beazley that this be referred to the Superintendent. Communication from Robison Farmer with regard to getting refund on Income tax and Capital Stock tax. Motioned by Dwyer seconded by Beazley, Secretary to inform Mr. Farmer that we would accept his proposition. The matter of purchasing an addressograph and posting machine was upon motion referred to the Finance Committee and Secretary. Superintendent instructed to see Mr. Lewis of the Byron Jackson Iron Works with regard to a new steel pump frame for the new pit at Pumping Plant No. 1, and report at the next meeting. It was moved by Director Thamer and seconded by Director Beazley and carried that an assessment of $5.00 per share be levied upon the subscribed capital stock of the Anaheim Union Water Company, payable on or before the 16th day of March, 1921 to the Secretary at the office of the corporation at 303 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 16th day of March, 1921 will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction and unless payment is made before will be sold on Friday, the 8th day of April, 1921, to pay delinquent assessment together with cost of advertising and expense of sale. NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Anaheim Union Water Company, location of principal place of business, 303 E. Center Street, Anaheim, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 5th day of February, 1921, assessment No. 57 of $5 per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation, payable at once to the Secretary of the Company, at Anaheim, Orange County, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 15th Jay of March, 1921, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction and unless payment is made before will be sold on the 8th day of April, 1921, at one o'clock p.m. to pay for delinquent assessment together with cost of advertising and expenses of sale. L. J. SHERIDAN, Secretary. ANAHEIM UNTON WATER CO. Jackson explained that on the night last week that a country-wide search was conducted for the man who seized Mrs. Roy Trapp near Artesia and kissed her, he issued instructions to every officer to bring all suspects before him. It so happened that the three alleged vagrants were picked up at Anaheim. Under Sheriff E. E. French came into Anaheim on business and the authorities there turned the three men over to him so that he might bring them before Jackson for examination. District Attorney Nelson agreed to dismiss the charge here and allow an amended complaint to be drawn up for an appearance of the three alleged vagrants before the justice [of] the peace at Anaheim. STATE SCRIPT TO BE SOLD A public auction of State script will be held by Surveyor General W. S. Kingsbury, at the State Capitol, Sacramento, Monday, March 7, 1921, at ten a.m. State script is the cheapest script on the market today. Script can only be purchased by citizens of the United States who are residents of the State of California and can be located on any vacant non-mineral government land in California. State script is not transferable. Script is sold in forty-acre lots for cash, personal checks received, but no purchaser can buy more than 640 acres, and the surrender of the script is payment for an equal acreage of government land. At the last auction sale of State script the price received averaged $6.81 per acre. Homestead and desert land entrymen can relinquish their entries thru the Surveyor General and acquire title to the land through the purchase of script. The applicant need not live on or improve the land. All money received from the sale of State script goes to the support of the public schools of the State. For circular giving information concerning State script, address the STATE SURVEYOR GENERAL, SACRAMENTO.

L J. SHERIDAN, Secretary. ANAHEIM UNION WATER CO. New York City has an area of 320 square miles, which indicates that her average distribution of population is 17,566 men, women and children to the square mile. Bull Montana, heavyweight movie picture wrestler and Dummy West of New York, entertained a crowd at Laimb's garage on West enter Street last Thursday evening in an honest-to-goodness contest. Montana was too heavy for his opponent and won two falls, the first in 47 minutes and the second in 17 minutes. West was somewhat peeved over the result, and openly and publicly told Bull he couldn't do it again: The entertainment was under the direction of the American Legion. Anaheim's oldest citizen is dead. Freegrace L. Sexton, who lived with his son, Fred L. Sexton on North Lemon street was found dead in his bed Sunday morning, having passed away during the night. He was 97 years of age, and had lived in Orange County for the past 40 years. He was born in Connecticut, and was one of a family of sixteen children. A sister, who has passed her 95th year is living at Springfield, Mass. Funeral services were held at Santa Ana Tuesday afternoon. He served three years in the army during the Civil War. THE HILL CLIMB Sunday, April, 10, has been officially set aside by the Orange County Motor-cycle club as the date for the sixth annual motorcycle hill climb at Capistrano. If it rains on that date, the big event will be held on the following Sunday. With the factories giving better co-operation than in the past it is expected that the coming contest will be the biggest ever. Some of the best riders in the United States will be entered it is said by officials of the club. Under a new ruling of the Motor-cycle and Allied Trades association the climb passes from a national to a sectional event. It is one of the biggest contests in the nation and has gained an international reputation. The M. and A. T. A., which is a national organization of motorcyclists, has eliminated national climbs and runs and has established sectional districts for the big motorcycle events. California is a district and the Capistrano hill climb is to be the one big feature in this district. The national association has not yet sanctioned this year's climb, but it will do so. Cash prizes are eliminated in events under the sanction of the association and cups will hereafter be hung up as prizes in the Capistrano event.
