Among other principles which might be adopted by the A. A. A. A.—Amalgamated Association of Agricultural Assistants—are the following: 1. A basis eight hour day. 2. Time and a half for overtime. 3. Double pay for Sunday work or work on holidays. 4. Only members of the A. A. A. A. in good standing shall be employed. 5. Employers shall deduct dues from wages and pay the same to the local branch of the A. A. A. A. 6. The work of an agricultural assistant shall be limited districtly to ordinary care of crops livestock, etc. 7. For any work other than that of ordinary care to crops and livestock, an agricultural assistant shall be paid the compensation that would be due a specialist. For instance, for repairing a pump, an A. A. shall be paid the wages of a plumber; for giving medicine to an animal, he shall be paid the compensation of a veterinary; for mending machinery, he shall be paid the compensation of a blacksmith. NO REDUCTION IN HEATING CAPACITY New Ruling Doesn't Effect Southern Counties Company The recent ruling of the state railroad commission rescinding the permit granted by that body to two southern California gas companies to reduce the heating value of the gas from 815 to 760 British Thermal units does not affect the heating value of the local gas. This statement was made public today by J. C. Hayden, district superintendent of the Southern Counties Gas company in this district. Last January when the demand for gas in southern California was far greater than the available supply, the commission, in order to meet this emergency, ruled that the Los Angeles Gas & Electric Corp. and the Southern California Gas company, distributors of mixed gas, artificial and natural combined, could reduce the heat units in their gas from 815 to 760 B. T. U.'s. This order, according to District Superintendent Hayden, of the local gas office, affected only these two companies and did not in any way affect the heating value of the gas distributed locally by the Southern Counties Gas company. The gas distributed in this city and district is a straight natural product, being transmitted by the Southern Counties Gas company to this district through it own transmission lines. The heating value of Southern Counties gas served in this district averages 1050 B. T. U.'s. The heating value of this gas indicates that the local consumers of the Southern Counties gas together with the consumers on the Ventura county system of the Southern Counties Gas company, receive a gas which has no superior in the state.

In no case shall an agricultural assistant be permitted to perform work other than ordinary care of crops and livestock if a specialist can be secured, and, if work be so performed, the A. A. shall be entitled to receive not only the compensation of a specialist, but also the cost the farm owner would be required to bear in securing the aid of a specialist if one were available. 9. Breakfast shall not be served more than 30 minutes before the beginning of the eight-hour work day, and the agricultural assistant shall not be called earlier than 15 minutes before time for breakfast.

A. whose decision shall be final, pending which decision, the farm owner shall recognize the contention of the agricultural assistant. FULLERTON'S NEW SCHOOL With the board of trustees of the Fulletron district grammar schools, life is just one school house after another. While the finishing touches are being put on the handsome new building on the west side plans are being prepared for another equally handsome on the east side grounds, along side of the present modern structure erected a few years since. Already preliminary work on the grounds is under way, the ornamental trees and plants being sacked with earth and removed until such time as they shall be needed again. To further clear the ground the old brick building now occupies a portion of its citizens. MAKING AND SPENDING By Meredith Nicholson. To spend all we earn is to prove improvident; to spend more than we earn is to invite disaster. The only sound rule is to preserve a safe margin between a prosperous today and an uncertain tomorrow. There is constant and widespread complaint of the extravagance of the American people. Far too many of us think it a shameful thing to be thought economical and thrifty. The keeping-up of appearances is a practice of direct folly. Better to be thought "close" and have a savings account than to be identified with the free spenders who are blind to the needs of tomorrow. Much has been said and written about the conservation of the national wealth, but it is incumbent upon all of us to stop waste in our personal affairs. We must free ourselves of the fallacy that economy is a synonym for stinginess. It is trite but right that a dollar saved is a dollar earned. I have watched with interest the long line of depositors pressing toward the receiving window of a trust company on a Saturday night. These men, women and children are establishing for themselves a shelter against the coming of the inevitable rainy day. We may fairly guage the good Americanism of a town from the total of its savings accounts, the number of its life insurance policy-holders, and the percentage of homes owned by its citizens.

Already preliminary work on the grounds is under way, the ornamental trees and plants being sacked with earth and removed until such time as they shall be needed again. To further clear the ground the old brick building now occupying a portion of the campus, the original grammar school of early Fullerton, is to be torn down at the end of the present school year. The new building is to be erected at the corner. It will extend 198 feet on Harvard, with the main entrance at the corner. It will lextend 198 feet on Chapman and 203 feet on Harvard, with a 12 foot corridor running all the way through it. The general width of both wings will be 63 feet. The general style of architecture will correspond to that of the west side building, the plan calling for a one-floor structure of hollow tile construction, with a small basement and tile roof. There are to be eleven class rooms, each 24x30, and a big kindergarten room 34x61. In addition there will be a business office, principal's room, teachers' room, work rooms, library, coat rooms, story room, janitor's room, toilet rooms, etc. They hope to have the plans and specifications ready by the first of May and to be able to let the contract soon thereafter, to the end that the new building may be ready for use at the start of the next school year. Norman Marsh, of Los Angeles, who designed both the other grammar school buildings there, is preparing the plans and his estimate of the cost is around $100,000. I have watched with interest the long line of depositors pressing toward the receiving window of a trust company on a Saturday night. These men, women and children are establishing for themselves a shelter against the coming of the inevitable rainy day. We may fairly guage the good Americanism of a town from the total of its savings accounts, the number of its life insurance policy-holders, and the percentage of homes owned by its citizens. Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in nature that is ours; Such was the plaint of Wordsworth a hundred years ago, and it is frequently reiterated by critics of American life. The fine old simplicity of our fathers are in danger in these times of high pressure and high prices. Get the saving habit! Scan your dollar carefully before you spend it. Every penny saved adds to your ease of mind and self-respect and contributes to the strength and security of America. Anaheim is a city of savers. There is a savings account for every two people in Anaheim. Over two thousand bank at the Anaheim National bank, one of the largest reservoirs of capital in Orange county. EVAPORATOR DEMONSTRATION The Farm Bureau in its effort to serve all members of the farm, has scheduled three meetings of special interest to the housewife, not only of the farm, but also the city.

A NERVY YOUTH Orvle H. Clyde, 19-year-old oil worker residing at 1109 Orange avenue, Huntington Beach, is being lionized by his friend following an exhibition of heroism Sunday night that resulted probably in the saving of the lives of five persons. He jeopardized his own life to save those of others. His heroism came in a remarkable display of nerve and presence of mind when he stopped his automobile on the tracks of the Newport Beach Pacific Electric line and permitted an electric car to hit it, rather than pull a car he was towing and in which there were five persons into the path of the speeding car. In the car being towed were Mr. and Mrs. Lee Judson and little daughter and Mr. and Mrs. M. E Crowder. The accident occurred at the Colorado street crossing, Long Beach, of The board of trustees definitely committed the city of Fullerton to the construction of the new ornamental lighting system Tuesday night when, in a fine burst of legislative speed, they successively adopted a resolution accepting the plans and specifications for the improvement as prepared by City Engineer Dupuy; and a resolution of intentional declaring that the work shall be done, describing the zone to be so improved, fixing the limits of the assessment area for bonding purposes and providing for the various other details connected with the deal. The marbleite standards are specified, bearing a double lantern, the power being designated as 400-candle for the Spadra lights and 250-candle for the others. The standards are to be eleven and one-half feet high and are to be spaced 150 feet apart in the street. The estimated cost is $2.30 per foot of frontage on the streets traversed, it being specified that the city would pay twenty per cent of the total, to take care of the street intersections. Mrs. Antoinette Earl, of Costa Mesa, was probably fatally injured and her husband, R. J. Earl, proprietor of a cleaning and dye shop at 309 East Fourth street, Santa Ana, was badly shaken up and bruised when the automobile in which they were riding collided with a Pacific Electric car on South Main street about 6:30 Tuesday morning. The injured woman was taken to the community hospital, where it was reported that she had sustained a fractured skull, a broken right leg and fractured right hand. She was unconscious and little hope is held out for her recovery. Earl is suffering from the shock. Mr. and Mrs. Earl were making their usual morning trip into the city from their home at Costa Mesa when they met with the accident. According to Earl, who was all over southern California will assemble at the county park for the picnic, which will commemorate the one hundred and second anniversary of the order. The committee on arrangements is hard at work on details. There will be athletic events, games for young and old, and plenty to eat and drink, according to announcement. The spirit of the day will be, "Let Joy and Song be Unrestrained." The marshals appointed for the day are: John Crawford, Santa Ana; C. J. Mauerhan, Anaheim; George Cornwall, Fullerton; W. D. Peterkin, Orange; Hugh Cribey, Huntington Beach. The day will wind up with a feature program, after which the pavilion will be cleared and an old time dance will be held, interspersed with selections from "King Jazz." Those interested are requested to communicate with D. C. Denning, Box 448, Santa Ana. The Orange county Y. M. C. A. picnic will continue all day and well into the evening. Athletic events and various entertainment features are being planned. It is expected that at least 400 persons will attend the big "Y" outing. NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Ed Price, Deceased.

In the car being towed were Mr. and Mrs. Lee Judson and little daughter and Mr. and Mrs. M. E Crowder. The accident occurred at the Colorado street crossing, Long Beach, of the Newport-Huntington Beach line. Clyde slowed up before starting across the tracks and not seeing any cars in sight pulled upon the track, only to see a fast limited car bearing down on him. The car was in charge of Motorman R. Helendez and Conductor L. E. Goodman. Realizing that he could not get the towed car clear of the track, he shifted into low gear, pulled ahead just far enough to leave the rear car in the clear and with the intention of jumping from its own machine. He was too late. The electric car hit his auto before he could jump. The impact hurled his machine completely around, bursting the gasoline tank. The fuel was ignited and the automobile was soon a mass of flames. Clyde suffered second degree burns on his hands, face, neck and scalp. He attributes the fact that he was not more seriously burned to a big moleskin overcoat which he was wearing at the time. J. H. Clyde, father of the young hero, is manager of the Peerless Oil company, Huntington Beach. GRAIN GROWERS' EXCURSION El Toro, Irvine and Capistrano Fields to Be Observed on May 4th.
