J. Coprad, publisher of the Huntington Beach News, which has been issued weekly, announces that improvements and alterations he is now making to his plant and building would permit him within about one month to issue a daily. Oil experts state that if oil is found to the east where derricks are now going up or are contemplated, the field will be doubled and because of the 400-foot oil sand, compared to 150, considered a good depth elsewhere, will be the wonder of the world. Fred Tuffree was in town Friday transacting business, and on being asked the news in his neighborhood stated that the most important event in his estimation was the arrival of a new daughter at his house some days ago. Fred thinks there should be a law prohibiting motorists stopping their cars on the paved roads while making repairs. Some days ago, he said a car was halted on the bond on the canyon road. A car came around the bend in the rear, and simultaneously a heavily loaded truck drawing a trailer loaded with hay hove in sight on the opposite curve. The driver of the car thought he could beat the truck to the narrow passage by the slid of the stalled car. At any rate he took a Presbyterian S. 6. AT THE COUNTY PARK An Enjoyable Picnic Held on Tuesday, June 28th The Anaheim Presbyterian Sunday school picnic was held at Orange county park, Tuesday, June 28th. In the morning the children had a good time with the swings, teeter-toters, slides, and other amusements. When noon came over seventy-five spread their picnic dinners on the tables, under the trees. After dinner there was a baseball game between the Curtis Lemons and Owens Oranges, score 21 to 6 in favor of the Lemons; Then there were races. The boys had a three-legged race in which Edwin Beebe and Oscar Gibbs each received a hammer as first prize, and James Hall and Rector Coons received a whistle and a cricket as second prize. A sack race in which Oscar Gibbs received a folding measure as first prize and Taka Tatayama received a paper knife as a booby prize, and in the boys' foot race Nerland Tobin came in first. The men also had a sack race in which W. T. Wallop received a hammer as first prize and F. N. Gibbs received an oil can as a booby prize. While these races were underway, some of the others went hiking, boating, swimming or visiting under the trees. Before leaving for home another baseball game was enjoyed between the old men and boys. This was warmly contested and was followed by a raid on the lemonade barrel, in which every one went the limit. About five o'clock the automobiles were filled with children and grown-ups, and all went home. The games were in charge of Miss Parker and Charles Pearson. Transportation was handled by A. Nagel, who desires to thank those who furnished machines to take the children to the park, including Arthur Coons.

A car came around the bend in the rear, and simultaneously a heavily loaded truck drawing a trailer loaded with hay hove in sight on the opposite curve. The driver of the car thought he could beat the truck to the narrow passage by the sid of the stalled car. At any rate he took a chance, with the result that the truck was forced off the pavement into the soft dirt and wrecked, the driver having a narrow escape from death. The Boy Scouts of Troop No. 1, Anaheim, held their weekly meeting at the Fremont school. The meeting was in charge of Scouts Bill Reed and Granville Waters, and many interesting things took place during the evening. Scouts Jack Matis, Jim Fitzgibbons and Billy Utter gave a very good demonstration in first aid, and Scouts John Shap, Earl Dahlman and Frank Sackett gave talks on the betterment of the troop. Scout Executive Elmer Heidt was present and nine scouts passed their second class test. Those passing the test were Scouts Elmer Clabaugh, Frank Sackett, William Seitz, Granville Waters, Bill Reed, Jack Matis, Billy Utter, Jim Fitzgibbons and Harold Mann. These second class scouts will go on a three-day hike some time in the near future. A troop orchestra is being organized and we will have everything from a drum to a saxophone. Mr. Lewis, the man who has charge of selling the scout suits in Anaheim was present at the meeting. He is also on the committee of this troop. Marcell Cook, clairvoyant, arrested at San Diego on a charge of obtaining money under false protense was making an effort Saturday to raise $500 cash ball for his release from jail following his arraignment before Justice of the Peace Howard. According to Deputy District Attorney Mozley, Cook's ball was first fixed at $1,000. This later was reduced to $500 cash. An uncle of the defendant put up half of the $500 and Cook gave his check for $250. It developed later that he had but $213 in the bank. Mozley said that Cook would raise enough cash to cover the difference and gain his release. His preliminary hearing has been set for July 26 at 2 p.m. before Justice of the Peace Howard. Cook was arrested on information given to THINGS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT ORANGE COUNTY Orange county is in a class of its own. It is pre-eminently distinguished in many ways. First, for the tremendous quantity and the superior quality of its products. Second, for the infinite variety of its products. Third, for the comparatively even spread of its seasons of planting, cultivating, pruning, harvesting and marketing throughout the year. It has some product or product of its soil going to market in carload or trainload lots every day in the year. Its markets embrace the entire civilized world. Fourth, for its superlatively salubrious all-the-year-round climate, contributing to both health and comfort. An uncomfortable warm night is unknown to Orange county, and uncomfortably warm days are very few and far between. Comparatively speaking, there is no such thing as an uncomfortably warm day in Orange county. At night the range is around 40 to 50 with rare extremes of 28 for a very short time. Year after year the tenderest vegetation goes through the winter without showing any effects of frost. And there is never a year in which flowers do not bloom and fresh fruit and vegetables do not mature during every month of both winter and summer. The average climate of southern California in general is world-famous; that of Orange county is the best of southern California. Fifth, for its scenic beauty and the wide range of recreation possibilities. Deputy District Attorney Mozley, Cook's ball was first fixed at $1,000. This later was reduced to $500 cash. An uncle of the defendant put up half of the $500 and Cook gave his check for $250. It developed later that he had but $213 in the bank. Mozley said that Cook would raise enough cash to cover the difference and gain his release. His preliminary hearing has been set for July 26 at 2 p.m. before Justice of the Peace Howard. Cook was arrested on information given to the district attorney's office by Mrs. Harry Y. Cohen, of Los Angeles, who was in the office Tuesday relative to another case. The complaint against Cook was issued over a year ago and in the meantime the complaining witness has gone east. Deputy District Attorney Mozley said that he thought the witness could be located. MISTAKES When a plumber makes a mistake he charges twice for it. When a lawyer makes a mistake, it is just what he wanted, because he has a chance to try the case all over again. When a carpenter makes a mistake, it's just what he expected. When a doctor makes a mistake, he burles it. When a judge makes a mistake, it becomes the law of the land. When a preacher makes a mistake, nobody knows the difference. When an electrician makes a mistake, he blames it on induction; nobody knows what that means. But when an editor makes a mistake—Good-night! No bathing suit has improved upon the one nature gave you.

The Westminster Oil company, organized by Orange county men, has leases upon a number of ranches in the vicinity of Westminster, which is directly north of the great Huntington Beach field. Drilling has been carried forward successfully up to the present, and there is no reason to believe that the well will not be drilled to completion successfully so far as the drilling is concerned. Whether oil lies below remains to be determined. The drilling is now going on at about 3000 feet. Yesterday the drill went through cement into a water quick-sand found in drilling the well at Huntington Beach. Some of those who are watching the well believe that below the quicksand a hard strata will be struck and that below the hard strata will be found the oil sand for which the company seeks. DODGE CAR MAKES RECORD TRIP Walter Hemmerling has written a very interesting account of a trip he made from Anaheim to Oakland in his Dodge Brothers car. The letter was written to Chas. Mann, Dodge Brothers dealers in Anaheim, and in part says: "I have just made a trip from Anaheim to Oakland last Wednesday night, June 15, in a 1917 Dodge touring car in a space of time which I believe compares very favorably with any six cylinder car. My time from Anaheim to Oakland, 436 miles, was 15 hours and 35 minutes. I left Anaheim at 5 p.m., Wednesday evening, June 15, and arrived at Oakland at 8:45 a.m., June 16. I was slowed up considerably by passing through the busiest street in Los Angeles at 6 p.m., the time when traffic is greatest, and by—never having traveled over this route before—having difficulty in finding the San Fernando road. My gas consumption from Anaheim Moore. Mrs. Bond, mother of Mrs. Ernest Crozier Phillips, delighted the audience with several humorous readings in the old-time negro dialect. Mrs. Victor Montgomery gave an interesting talk regarding the work of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She said that it is an honor to be a member of that organization, for each year the eligibility lines are being more closely drawn. Mrs. Montgomery pointed out the fact that this organization was the first to offer its services to President Wilson at the outbreak of the recent war, standing 100,000 strong. This concluded the program and "the end of a perfect day." DECLINE IS SHOWN IN THE PRICE OF FOODS Retail and Wholesale Costs Drop in May, Says Labor Department Retail food prices to the average family declined 4.6 per cent in May as compared with April, while wholesal food prices declined 5.3-4 per cent in the same period, statistics made public by the department of labor show. General wholesale prices, including farm products, food, building materials, mgtals, house furnishings and miscellaneous commodities declined two per cent during the month. The decline from the peak prices of May, 1919, amounted to 33 per cent in retail prices and 44 1-2 per cent in general wholesale prices. The drop in wholesale prices includes a 53 1-2 per cent decline in manufactured food products and a 52 per cent reduction in the prices of farm products, the statement said. From April 15 to May 15 the retail price of butter declined 24 per cent, cheese 16 per cent, sugar 13 per cent, lard nine per cent, pork chops and oleomargarine five per cent. Smaller reductions were noted for many other THE DOLLAR CIRCUIT The Democratic New York Times calls a protective tariff a "vicious circle." If that be true the United States has prospered wonderfully under the influence of this species of viciousness. The first act ever passed by an American congress was a protective tariff act, and it was framed for the express purpose of keeping American money in America for the purchase of American material and employment of American labor, starting a circle that was not at all vicious, but beneficial in its effects. Use of the word "circle" is entirely appropriate; for money is a circulating medium and in due time gets around to the point from which it started, provided it is kept at home. If, for example, we have a protective tariff on glass and thus encourage the use of glass made in America instead of glass made in Belgium, the glass worker in the United States who earns a dollar of compensation will spend that dollar in the United States for the purchase of shoes, and the shoe worker will pay it to the grocerman for flour, who in turn, will send it to the wholesaler, thence to the manufacturer, thence to the farmer, who very likely will use the dollar to buy some glassware, getting the dollar around what the New York Times calls "the vicious circle." A similar dollar sent to Europe for the purchase of glassware, or any other commodity, would begin its circulation, but in all probability would continue to circulate on that side of the Atlantic. In some instances it might get back across the ocean, but before it returned it would be diminished by the profits taken out of European labor and European capital. HOUSE IS SAVING MONEY Former Senator Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, now a member of the house from the Cleveland district after an absence of twelve years does not ap- REMOVES HIS OFFICE Owing to the removal of Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Elmer B. Burns for duty in the city of Los Angeles, the local zone office which has been maintained in Santa Ana for more than two years past will be closed indefinitely, Saturday, July 2. "All persons making monthly return of taxes therefore," said Burns, "will prepare their returns, have them duly witnessed or acknowledged and mail them direct to the collector of internal revenue, Los Angeles. In making these remittances particular attention must be paid to having the returns acknowledged before a notary, or if the tax thereon amounts to less than $10 it may be witnessed by two responsible persons in lieu of the notary." Deputy Burns will be in his office, room 11, Rowley block, all day June 29 and 30 in order to clean up all taxes for the current period. It is especially urged by Mr. Burns that returns be mailed so that they reach the Los Angeles office before the delinquent date, thus avoiding the penalties which are sure to attach for delinquencies which are inexcusable. DIXIE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY AT BIG PICNIC Beautiful Orange county park was very well located with any six cylinders in car. My time from Anaheim to Oakland, 436 miles, was 15 hours and 35 minutes. I left Anaheim at 5 p.m., Wednesday evening, June 15, and arrived at Oakland at 8:45 a.m., June 16. I was slowed up considerably by passing through the busiest street in Los Angeles at 6 p.m., the time when traffic is greatest, and by—never having traveled over this route before—having difficulty in finding the San Fernando road. My gas consumption from Anaheim to Bakersfield, over the Ridge, averaged 19.3 miles per gallon and for the total trip 20.9 miles per gallon. The Ridge was made with only two shifts to intermediate once when a truck was in the way on a curve and the other time when I did not have run enough to get to the top in high. I had absolutely no trouble of any kind and the machine was running as pretty when I got to Oakland as when I left Anaheim. The Dodge has convinced us it will take one to wherever he starts for." HOUSE IS SAVING MONEY Former Senator Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, now a member of the house from the Cleveland district after an absence of twelve years, does not approve of the senate adding enormously to appropriation bills in face of a general demand for economy. Speaking on the naval bill, he says: "The senate might, if it had an independent responsibility, frame a most excellent appropriation bill, but this house, where there is earnest and sometimes even acrimonious debate, speaks most accurately, most correctly for the will of 110,000,000 people. The people are demanding economy. Occasionally the demand is too vague and general and those who ask it are seeking appropriations for their own special interests, inconsistent with the views they advocate. But the duty rests upon this house to promote economy. The overburdened taxpayers of the country are crying aloud for relief. The whole world with the mounting cost of militarism, is threatened with universal bankruptcy, and I trust the conferences will stand firmly and bring back to this house a report of non-concurrence in these additions so that the bill may remain as it was in the house. Thus we shall do our duty to the country by expressing the opinion that we are opposed to this mad race for an increase in military expenses." CHANCE FOR A BRAVE MAN With the assurance that you love me, Gladys, I can go forth and fight the world," said the young man with the pink tie. Well, Reginald," replied the sweet young thing. "If you really feel that way about it, commence by going and breaking the news to papa."—Yonkers Statesman. It is especially urged by Mr. Burns that returns be mailed so that they reach the Los Angeles office before the delinquent date, thus avoiding the penalties which are sure to attach for delinquencies which are inexcusable. DIXIE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY AT BIG PICNIC Beautiful Orange county park was the spot chosen for the second annual picnic Saturday of the folks from Dixie, who now live in Orange county. The day was an ideal one, "a perfect California day." From about 10 o'clock until noon autos filled with southerners and well filled lunch baskets of good things to eat arrived at the park, in a continual stream. The table committee consisting of Mmes. Alice Turner and Chas. Johnson provided two long picnic tables all ready for the feast, spread with snowy white cloths and each place marked with a cup, knife and fork. At 12:30 E. C. Martin, president of the county Dixie association, invited everyone to "dig in." This was after the Rev. William Jay Richards, pastor of the Spurgeon Memorial church, South, had offered the blessing. After the delicious dinner a jolly social time was held when old friends and neighbors renewed acquaintances, and memories of the south were revived. During the afternoon a delightful program was given in the pavilion. The president, the Rev. Mr. Richards and Col. W. F. Healthman spoke informally. Little Miss Nancy Moore, of Fullerton, gave a recitation, as also did her mother, Mrs. W. A. TO PROBE FARM PRICES That Republican leaders in congress intend to take no chances in their efforts to assist the farmers of the country is evidenced by the prompt passage through the house of the measure creating a joint commission to investigate the causes of the difference paid to tillers of the soil for their products and the price ultimately paid for those products by the consumer. "The passage of the resolution," said Representative Strong, of Kansas,"was requested by the congress of farm organizations hold in the city of Washington in April last. Representatives of sixteen farm organizations met in conference. They knew that the farmers were receiving only about 10 or 15 per cent of the price that the American people are charged for their commodities. They knew that the prices of farm products had been deflated, but that all supplies and materials that the farmer buys were still carrying the war price. They know that credits had been restricted to agriculture, that cattlemen were being sold out, and the stock herds sacrificed. They knew that cattle, sheep and hogs, corn and wheat, oats, cotton, butter, eggs, and all farm produce which they were being forced to sell at prices far below the cost of production were still being sold to the consumer at prices they could not afford to pay, which robbed the producers of the sympathy which would otherwise result in protecting them from ruin."
