Decision to that effect was reached at the meeting of the society Monday night. Dr. C. D. Ball, president, made a report of the fact that ten Santa Anans had put up $250 each to hold the McFadden house and two acres for a year. The purchase price is put at $10,000 by Mrs. McFadden. Dr. Ball stated that at the May meeting the society would be asked to decide as to what shall be done to finance the purchase, as the men who have put up the money to hold the property have done so merely to hold the property for action by the community.

It is proposed to use the old residence as a museum for relics of local interest. The story of the founding of the city of Fullerton was told by George R. Amerige, who with his brother, E. R. Amerige, laid out the townsite in the spring of 1887. They bought 430 acres from the Miles estate, and arranged, by giving an interest in the townsite to the railroad, to have the Santa Fe pass through Fullerton. The first stake for the townsite survey was driven by E. R. Amerige in a mustard patch on July 5, 1887. With the Santa Fe interested, the Pacific Land & Improvement company was formed. George H. Fullerton, a Boston man, from which city the Ameriges also came, became interested through the Santa Fe, and was president of the company. This was why the town was named Fullerton. Fullerton never lived in the place. WATER COMPANY MEETING The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company was held on Saturday, March 18, with all members present. H. G. Meiser and Mr. Noble came before the board regarding the proposed pipe line on West Walnut street, Fullerton.

Oil production reports from the Analgamated Oil company, St. Helen's Petroleum company and Galmore Petroleum company were read and ordered filed. Correction read from the Golden State Portland Cement company submitting a bid on cement. Action deferred until a later meeting. REPORTS OF EAST UNTRUE Reports published in eastern newspapers to the effect that motorists fairly take their life in their hands to attempt a trip across the continent by auto to California are vigorously retuted by the touring bureaus of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Motorists are warned by the eastern false reports to beware of the great western open spaces, which perhaps means the deserts, as they are dangerous. There is no danger in crossing the desert by auto, says the auto club. That is all bosh! Southern California is as readily accessible by motor car as any other point in America, and much more so because the highways leading to this section are officially sign-posted. The National Old Trails route westward is in good shape, and a motorist can make the trip in approximately twenty-one days, allowing some time for sight-seeing. According to eastern pessimistic reports, it takes a motorist three months to reach California. The eastern papers also print stories to the effect that the cost of such a trip is terrible. The auto club rises to refute this statement, saying that the tour from Atlantic to the Pacific can be made at a cost of five dollars per person per day. This includes everything except tire cost and unforeseen accidents. Certain precautions to all transcontinental travellers are issued at present by the auto club, however, these including advice to always have the gasoline tank full and carry plenty of water in the radiator, as well as an extra gallon or two of oil. Motorists are advised not to camp near water on account of mosquitoes, but outside of the mosquitoes no danger. I am glad to participate in recent national events in Washington realized.

Regarding the piping of the cement ditch along the front of Mrs. Mary L. Smith's place in Fullerton, the ditch committee was instructed to secure permission from the city of Fullerton to construct this line and secure rights of way from Mrs. Mary L. Smith.

Regarding the request from the city of Anaheim that this company pipe the open cement ditch on East Broadway and Center streets, Anaheim, this was ordered in when property owners furnish a right of way along the inside their property line. The city and property owners to bear one-half the expense of replacing cement ditch. GREATEST TOURING FIELD Establishing beyond a doubt that southern California is the greatest touring field of all time, is just issued in the annual report of the Automobile Club of Southern California for 1921. Imagine a group of motorists so active that they use 3,804,952 road maps in a single year. That is the number issued by the club to motorists during 1921. There were 3,141,225 "fire prevention" warning signs for use on the highways turned out during the year by the club's printing department. In order to keep pace with the demand of auto owners in the southern part of the state road information 6,368,301 strip maps of local highways were printed. To those not acquainted with the immense amount of touring carried on in southern California these figures are almost beyond comprehension, but their authenticity is vouched for by club officials and the audited books of the organization. ANAHEIM GAZETTE In the touring bureaus throughout the southern counties there were 331,614 personal calls for information regarding touring conditions answered during the year, and 245,657 telephone calls in addition to these. During the year the club's insurance department issued 46,077 policies totalling $2,443,184 in premiums. This established a record for the United States, it is pointed out. Southern California motorists stand in a class by themselves, say club officials. Using their cars year round they cover more miles than any other group of auto owners in the world. They are continually moving somewhere and help in no small way to increase the financial prosperity of the southern part of the state, making it the one vital "white spot" of America. OUR NATURAL GAS Of natural gas we burn usefully in a year fully 800,000,000,000 cubic feet equivalent to the leading value of 40,000,000 tons of coal, and something like 8,000,000 families are directly benefited by it in cooking, heating and lighting. But the most significant aspect of this matter is that approximately two-thirds of the gas is used industrially. The history of our treatment of natural gas is a record of wanton waste. Just think of it, in the course of one month gas was allowed to escape unchecked from a well yielding the while 1,000,696,000 cubic feet of the commodity; and in two months four wells scattered broadcast a total of more than 5,000,000,000 cubic feet of gas! This dissipation of potential heat corresponds to 250,000 tons of coal, or enough to supply 50,000 households for a year. By recourse to moderate expense for proper casing at our gasoline wells an enormous conservation of this fuel might be effected. WHAT SHIPS MEAN TO THE FARMERS What ships mean to country America is demonstrated in the movement of American grain into the interior of Russia. Don Livingston, commissioner of agriculture of South Dakota and a member of the purchasing committee for Russian relief of the American Relief association, reports that the first two steamers that sailed from Baltimore, Md., carrying approximately 500,000 bushels of mixed corn have arrived at Novorossisk. Four hundred cars were assembled at the port to rush the grain to the interior in an effort to save the children from starvation. Since the first of the year thirty steamers have left for Russia bearing relief corn—in round figures, 5,700,000 bushels, in addition to 1,464,750 bushels of wheat. The ships have cleared from New York, Baltimore, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Boston. In days of old when partisans were bold the suggestion of government aid for American shipping was regarded in the light of iniquitous graft, but the people are coming to see that American ships mean the expansion of American trade and that a merchant marine is of real import to the farmer who may never have seen a ship. Criticism is offered of the present subsidy plan as outlined by President Harding and Chairman Lasker, of the shipping board, in that it will mean on the basis of allotment of giant ocean passenger liners will receive great favor while slow going freight vessels will not be aided materially. This is something the farm bloc may be relied on matter how proud he may be of his first-born a man never wants him to be a howling success. J. E. SCHUMACHER CO., Opp. S. P. Depot, W.

I believe it has set a new mark in the aspirations not only of the agricultural community, but, indeed, of the entire country in behalf of a better understanding of our agricultural problem and of more effective measures for dealing with it, says President Harding. The fine spirit of co-operation among the farmers, and the disposition on their part to unite their efforts in every possible way with those of the government, augurs particularly well for our hope of accomplishment. The conference gave serious and thorough consideration to the problems before it, and presented practicable proposals for doing practical and worthwhile things. It avoided all extremism and adopted the wise course of making no excessive demands for special favors or class treatment. I am very sure that the wisdom of this course will be demonstrated hereafter. In the general industrial and business situation there is much to justify confidence that we are well past the worst phases of the agricultural crisis, that improvement is well begun, and that it will continue steadily from this time forward. This is not only a source of satisfaction to every friend of the farmer, but also to whoever is interested in any phase of American business, for we have all come to recognize the independence of all departments of the national industrial establishment. No one of them can prosper permanently if any other great branch of national activity is depressed. Therefore, in expressing my conviction, based on a wide array of information, that the worst is past as concerns agriculture, I am recording my firm belief that an era of better business and more prosperous times for the entire Cash Dividend Do you know that The Federal Grocery Company, owning and operating Daley's Rock Bottom Stores, will pay a two and one-half per cent cash dividend on April 25, 1922?
