There is nothing new in the attitude of the Times toward the Imperial county man, representative in congress from the district to which Orange county is a part. For years, as a citizen and attorney and political leader in Imperial county, Swing stood with the land owners of Imperial county against encroachments by interests with which Harry Chandler, of the Times, is connected. The Times, as the Register points out, has not been for Swing for anything anywhere at any time. An instance of the Times' attitude was reported from Washington, D.C., recently. Through the initiative and efforts of Congressman Swing an increase in the federal appropriation for spreading frost warnings to citrus growers of southern California was obtained. Its correspondent was apprised of this fact. A special dispatch from Washington, however, gave credit for the appropriation to Congressman Swing.

Through the initiative and efforts of Congressman Swing an increase in the federal appropriation for spreading frost warnings to citrus growers of southern California was obtained. Its correspondent was apprised of this fact. A special dispatch from Washington, however, gave credit for the appropriation to Congressman Lineberger, of Long Beach. Under the heading, "Stand by Congressman Swing," the Riverside Press discusses the most recent exhibition of the Times' unfairness in its treatment of Swing as follows: "The animus of the attack is well understood. Harry Chandler, of the Times, is heavily interested in land in the Imperial valley below the Mexican line. These lands are now irrigated under arrangements exceedingly favorable to the owners; and it is believed that their preferential advantage would be greatly lessened in case the all-American canal is built. All water from the Colorado for irrigation in the Imperial valley, both above and below the Mexican line, is now taken out on Mexican territory; and the claim has always been that the land owners in Mexico have much better rates than those in the United States. If the all-American canal is built, Imperial valley in the United States will be supplied from that source and the present intake on Mexican territory would not have to be used by the settlers this side of the line. In other words, they would be independent; and land owners in Mexico would have to look after their own system without any help from the property owners this side of the line. Naturally Harry Chandler does not want to see the all-American canal built. The Times' article makes two bald mis-statements. One is that the canal is not practical. This is contrary to the report of government engineers who have reported that a feasible route for this canal exists, starting at the Laguna dam, skirting the Coachella valley and running on high land above the Imperial valley. The other claim is that Swing is introducing this bill simply as a piece of politics to help his re-election. As he will apparently have no opposition in the primary or the general election, that statement is absurd. He has introduced the bill in order to promote the interests of his constituents, and they following events: vocal solo (boys), vocal solo (girls), violin and piano. The first prize will be gold, the second silver. The pins will be furnished by the Ebel club of Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana and possibly Orange; this latter is not yet decided. A lovely cup will be given to the school having the best art exhibit. This cup will be furnished by Laguna Beach chamber of commerce. Judges will be procured from outside the county and the most experienced musicians and artists will be asked to serve. All of these events are open to the public, free of charge, and everyone who is interested in the progress of our schools is urged to attend this day's varied and interesting program. Every high school in Orange county should send a delegation of students, faculty and friends to back up and encourage its own contestants. All of these events are open to all high school students, regardless of where they received their instruction. Each individual and each organization will perform one contest piece and have the choice of one other composition. The full program will be published during the week of contest. BIG DAM PROJECT With Orange county irrigators deeply concerned at this time with discussion of plans for conserving the water resources of this county, interest is taken in the announcement from San Diego that the Santa Fe Railway company is preparing to spend a million or more dollars in developing what is known as the great Warner’s water system, in the northern end of San Diego county. Huge reservoirs will be constructed, impounding millions of gallons of water annually, according to the report from San Diego. Development of arid lands in both San Diego and Orange county is contemplated, it is announced. The Warner water sheds are owned by the William G. Henshaw interests. It is reported that the Santa Fe will spend on the project more than a million dollars this year. Preliminary work on the Warner dam is under way it was stated. Inquiry among men who are in touch with irrigation affairs revealed no one who had heard of the project before. In some quarters it was believed reference to application of waters in Roward Kincaid, P.A., Anaheim; and the Angeles men: Jim Hester, Eddie Lea bell, Andy Toolin Leadingham and A. GRAIN SHORTAGE In spite of the rains have fallen, hay and grain crops A cool spring is blight age. According to an Orange county man quintet with hail there the barley crop than sixty per cent. Unless there is rain or ten days, he be reduced below sea level. Long wet spells February and March usual amount of wheat did a lot of damage wheat growers. That was sown failure Some of the growers and some a third weather held the back so that nearly usually short and thin. Many fields today they will not make fields, however, will provided they get from now on. The now is a warm rain It is estimated that put this year will tilt sacks, and wheat mills 000 sacks, in the co.

The other claim is that Swing is introducing this bill simply as a piece of politics to help his reelection. As he will apparently have no opposition in the primary or the general election, that statement is absurd. He has introduced the bill in order to promote the interests of his constituents, and they should back him to the limit in the matter. Riverside county is tremendously interested, both in the Boulder canyon dam and the all-American canal. The canal will make poossible the irrigation of 200,000 or 300,000 acres of very rich land in the Chuchawalla section and the Coachella valley and will result in developments that will add thousands of people to the population of the county and millions of wealth to its assessment rolls. Naturally we are strong for this project and we do not give a rap if incidentally it results in somewhat reduced profits for land owners in Mexico. We are not unfriendly to Mexico, but loyalty to America comes first. H. S. MUSIC CONTEST A series of musical contests has been arranged between music students of the several high schools of Orange county. The first contest will take place in Santa Ana high school, Tuesday, May 16 at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., and it will be an all-afternoon and evening affair. There will be a beautiful cup given for each of the following: Girls' glee club, boys' glee club, and orchestra. These cups will be presented by the FOOTBALL MEN GIVEN VARSITY MONOGRAMS Capping a successful football season, seventeen men from the U. S. C. Varsity received their letters a few days ago. These let ters were on either sweaters or blankets with one stripe to represent each year on the team. The awarding of the blankets was introduced on the campus for the first time this fall. At the beginning of the season each man was given a blanket to use throughout the season, which was to be returned to the graduate manager. The men who had earned their letters were allowed to choose either a blanket or a sweater. In one or two instances both a blanket and a sweater was given to one man. After the excitement had blown over and a census taken, it was noted that all those taking blankets were engaged to be married. Those receiving monograms were: Charlie Dean, Calexico; Leo Calland, Seattle; Roy Evans, Uplands; Paul Green, Inglewood; James Woodward, life toll, not only critically every city in and general respect that is in force in the motor's city car into the whirl of the 30 children, men death under the white and reckless driver.

GRAIN SHORTAGE IN COUNTY In spite of the fact that bountiful rains have fallen, the Orange county hay and grain crop will be away short. A cool spring is blamed for the short-night 48 out of 1548 machines. That is to say in January 4 1-2 per cent of drivers had faulty headlights and last Saturday but a trifle over 3 per cent. Bad headlights in that city have been reduced 1 1-2 per cent in four months. That is something, but not enough. The important thing which it proves is that the police can enforce that law if it tries. If from the beginning every-one driving with an unlawful headlight had been arrested and fined, we should have never had any headlight trouble. If, now there was a standing order to arrest, not one night in a month, but every night, all drivers of machines with unlawful headlights, the evil would disappear in a week. Bad headlights are far more dangerous in the country than in the city, for the roadways are narrower and the average speed much greater. Traveling at night with an unlawful headlight being forbidden by law, by what authority does any traffic man allow such a machine to travel a road except to the nearest parking space? If a dozen law-breakers were required to park their machines till daylight there would thereafter be no bad headlights on the road. The more strictly the traffic laws are enforced the safer the roads and the streets will be. The greater the safety in using a machine the greater the number that will be sold. Automobile dealers are solidly in favor of strict enforcement of these traffic laws. GOVERNMENT NEEDS NURSES The United States civil service commission states that there is need for nurses in the hospitals of the United States veterans’ bureau and the public health service and at Indian schools and agencies. Applications will be received for these positions until further notice. Applicants are not given a written examination, but are rated upon the tangible and value results, it stands to reason that a series of flood-control dams in the Mississippi and its tributaries and the planting of trees along the levees to prevent breaks, would add to the effectiveness of flood control. This whole problem of counteracting the havoc of floods is a live question for the people and for governmental authorities to consider with business acumen. It does not pay supinely to permit floods to run wanton year after year, and take hundreds of lives and destroy property worth tens of millions. AUTO FOLKS, ATTENTION. When out driving have you ever gone to Corona, and had one of mother’s famous Sunday dinners at the Southern hotel, upstairs, for 50 cents? Every day a feast, but Sunday. THE GLORY OF THE DESERT Naturalists are having a good deal to say these days of the beauty and variety of California’s wild flowers, but none of them can commit to the printed page the real glory of the flora of this wonderful state. An exceptional season’s rainfall has given a new realization of how profusely the beautiful flowers have been flung from the creator’s hand. One does not have to seek for glory of the flowers in valleys, canyons and sequestered nook, for it can be found on the open desert everywhere. Along the highway leading down in Imperial valley from the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains on the west there is spread out a purple carpet, flecked with white and yellow, as far as the eye can reach. The mauve and gray of chapparal and sage, and all the tints of the rainbow in other desert bloom, make a riot of color sufficient to delight the soul of color suffist. It all constitutes an entrancing picture set in a rugged frame of the GRAIN SHORTAGE IN COUNTY In spite of the fact that bountiful rains have fallen, the Orange county hay and grain crop will be away short. A cool spring is blamed for the shortage. According to an estimate made by an Orange county man who is well accounted with hay and grain conditions, the barley crop will not be more than sixty per cent of normal. Unless there is rain within the next week or ten days, the percentage will be reduced below sixty. Long wet spells and the failure of February and March to produce their usual amount of warm spring weather did a lot of damage to the barley and wheat growers. Much of the grain that was sown failed to make a stand. Some of the growers seeded a second and some a third time. Late cold weather held the barley and wheat back so that nearly all of it is unusually short and thin. Many fields today look as though they will not make a cutting. Other fields, however, will make fair crops, provided they get favorable weather from now on. The greatest need right now is a warm rain. It is estimated that the barley output this year will be less than 200,000 sacks, and wheat may not go over 35,000 sacks, in the county. HOW TO SAVE LIFE This is the plain, simple story of how one American city has saved thirty lives in the last thirty days after making up its mind to a permanent accident prevention campaign. "Jail sentences for auto speeders" is the term explanation of how Detroit has started to cut down traffic accidents that have been taking a terrible life toll, not only there but in practically every city in the country. "Fear and general respect for the same law that is in force in every city, has in the motor's city case, walked boldly into the whirl of traffic and rescued 30 children, men and women from death under the wheels of thoughtless and reckless drivers," as the Chicago Tribune describes it. Thus, Detroit, is trying nothing new, unless fear and general respect for government needs nurses. The United States civil service commission states that there is need for nurses in the hospitals of the United States veterans' bureau and the public health service and at Indian schools and agencies. Applications will be received for these positions until further notice. Applicants are not given a written examination, but are rated upon the subjects of physical ability, weighted at 10 per cent, and training and experience, weighted at 90 per cent. Applicants must have graduated from a recognized school for trained nurses requiring a residence of at least two years in a hospital giving thorough practical and theoretical training. Full information concerning entrance requirements, salaries, etc., and application blanks, may be obtained by communicating with the United States civil service commission, Washington, D.C., or the secretary of the civil service board at the postoffice or custom house in any city. CONTROL OF FLOODS One of the most impressive object-lessons ever given in control of floods is that to be witnessed now throughout almost the whole length of the Mississippi river. News dispatches speak of the situation as "the most stupendous struggle between man and nature." The dispatches go on to say that had it not been for the success of man's herculean efforts "in keeping the raging torrent of this mighty stream practically within its bed, every single habitation in the lowlands of the entire Mississippi valley would have been either washed into the gulf or thrown high and dry on the inland hills. Thus far the struggle of man has kept the river from bringing an overwhelming disaster, although it is the worst flood ever experienced in the Father of Waters. The levees have accomplished this. The original cost of those gigantic embankments has been saved, over and over again, by the prevention of flood devastation. This demonstrates the material value of flood control. Inasmuch as the levees have given such everywhere. Along the highway leading down in Imperial valley from the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountains on the west there is spread out a purple carpet, flecked with white and yellow, as far as the eye can reach. The mauve and gray of chapparal and sage, and all the tints of the rainbow in other desert bloom, make a riot of color sufficient to delight the soul of color suffist. It all constitutes an entrancing picture set in a rugged frame of the multi-colored distant foothills, that is worth traveling many miles to behold.

The court ruling resulted from an appeal taken by Japanese in Sutter county, where the superior court denied his petition for such guardianship, involving control of 14 acres, valued at $3000, bought in trust by the Japanese for his 2-year-old daughter. The superior court was reversed by the higher court. Speculation was rife as to whether local Japanese aliens would now take advantage of the opportunity thus offered to secure control of agricultural lands purchased for their American-born children. No such application as that made and denied in Sutter county has been made in Orange county to date, although several Japanese have been granted guardianship over the persons of their children, County Clerk J. M. Backs said. The supreme court, in granting the Japanese application in Sutter county, declared that the alien land law discriminated in that it placed a restriction on the Japanese that was not placed upon any other class of aliens. Associate Justice Lawler dissented from the opinion, declaring it proper to enact reasonable measures to uphold the statutes, in view of the many attempts to evade them.
