At a recent meeting of the County Farm Bureau, George McPhee, who has just returned from a trip of inspection to Ventura county, from which county big shipments of manure are made to this district, that for every two inches of manure, three inches of sand were added in the cattle corrals.

A good audience witnessed the vaudeville performance staged by the American Legion post at the Grand Theater Tuesday and Wednesday night. The show was directed by Ray Hicks, one of the men who furnished entertainment for the boys in France and he was assisted by the best historiic talent, male and female, in Anaheim. It developed that Anaheim is the home of a number of high-class actors and actorines, who might ornament the stage if they were not so busy with other pursuits. The show was great, and the Legion boys netted a good sum, which will be applied to building the club house. Mrs. Iso Aoto, a Japanese woman, aged 24, was killed Sunday and her 13-months-old baby miraculously escaped death when the automobile in which they were riding smashed head on into a car driven by Irvine Slevike, of Whittler.

Stahl were present, besides Mr. and Mrs. Troutman and Mr. and Mrs. Hill. Mr. Troutman served his country through the Civil War, and is one of the sprightiest members of Malvern Hill Post. His numerous friends hope he will live to celebrate a birthday twenty years hence, Jesus Christ's realm on earth will center in Orange county and the nucleus of his Kingdom is being established a mile east of Beuna Park, on Orangethorpe avenue, according to the belief of Thurman Howell, evangelist, who has rented a 20-acre farm near Beuna Park from his father, Dr. H. S. Howell. There, he declares, he is establishing the nucleus of God's earthly kingdom, the rest of the present party being his wife, his mother, five others, and nine children. "We are renting the place now, but I believe the Lord will buy it," said Howell. "The place is run down now, but we shall have it fixed up in fine shape soon, if it is God's will that we establish the kingdom right here. We have absolute faith in Christ as the savior of the soul and healer of the body. We also believe in work and that everybody should work." For the past seven years Howell has been engaged in evangelistic work in the Middle West and South, but now is not preaching and says he will live practical Christianity and demonstrate practical faith in God, preparatory to Christ's return. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50. The accident happened on the Spadra road midway between Anahelm and Fullerton. Mr. Sievike was quite seriously injured and was taken to the Fullerton Hospital but was later removed to his home.

There is at least one Mexican in the town of Placentia who will not "shoot craps" for a while, in the opinion of Sheriff C. E. Jackson. Jackson was in Placentia on official business when he saw a crowd of Mexicans congregated on a sidewalk. As he walked toward them they ran in every direction with the exception of one man. This man stood motionless. Investigating, Jackson found that the Mexican was attempting to hide a pair of dice by standing on them. The Mexican swore that he did not know the dice were there. Sheriff Jackson told the Mexican that the disclosure would mean three months in the county jail. "Have you a family?" asked Jackson. "Si, Senor, wife, six children." Well, I'm going to let you go this time, but I'm going to take these dice," said Jackson, "and if I ever catch you shooting 'craps' again you'll spend six months in the county jail." The Mexican sauntered off slowly and then broke into a run. FRIDAY IS DOLLAR DAY AT ALKENSTEIN'S See Windows for Particulars M. Bocks and Bocks, were in short time.

W. I. Gilbert, attorney for the film star, has filed formal notice of appeal of the case to the Superior Court. Accompanying the notice of appeal was a statement upon which the defendant's attorney bases his assertion of error in the lower court. The next step in the procedure will come with the setting of the case for hearing in Department No. 1. There is no time limit in which the defendant's attorneys must appear and ask that the case be set. However, by giving the counsel for the defendant ten days' notice, the district attorney may expedite the setting of the date of hearing. Had the appeal not bee filed before the expiration of the 15-day period, Miss Daniels would have gone to jail in default, unless the court granted further stay of execution. CONTINGENT UPON OIL. That the Navy Department is making a survey of the fuel oil situation on the Pacific Coast, preliminary to the final determination as to whether the combined fleets of the United States shall be placed on the Pacific became known today when the Bureau of Economics made public telegraphic advises received from its Washington representative. The Washington report follows: "It is known that the California oil situation will have an important bearing on the Navy Department's decision as to the final location of the fleet. Oil, of course, can be had in sufficient quantities for the fleet, but the question is, how much will the supplying of the entire Navy with California oil disturb the western industrial supply? "At the office of Senator Samuel of the Navy and for purposes where hydro-electric power cannot be utilized, this Government can provide cheaper power for industrial plants and at the same time insure ample fuel for the boilers of the Navy. The need oe acquiring a good-sized quantity of fuel oil in storage is not being overlooked, either." "Indications in Washington are that three-fourths of the Navy, and probably more, will be concentrated in the Pacific. This will mean the immediate construction of additional Navy supply stations and yards on the etaodnetao stations and repair yards on the Pacific coast, os recommended to Congress by the various Navy boards." "The battle between the two Navy factions, one of which has all along opposed dividing the fleet, and the other sanctioning the Daniels' order creating a Pacific and an Atlantic fleet, apparently has been won by the faction demanding one great fleet and that it be maintained in one group." The Washington report follows: "It is known that the California oil situation will have an important bearing on the Navy Department's decision as to the final location of the fleet. Oil, of course, can be had in sufficient quantities for the fleet, but the question is, how much will the supplying of the entire Navy with California oil disturb the western industrial supply? "At the office of Senator Samuel M. Shortridge it was said that the question will probably be put up to the Federal Power Commission to see if the demands of the west coast industry for fuel oil cannot be lightened by the development of more hydro-electric energy. "The question of the oil supply for the Navy in the Pacific is not only one of the present, but of the succeeding five or even ten years," said Senator Shortridge. It is the future that the Government authorities are interested in, and I understand surveys are being made with the idea of determining just how much fuel oil can be saved by providing western industry with more hydro-electric power."
