RIVERSIDE CLUB TO LOCATE AT NEWPORT The Southland Sailing club members of Riverside are planning the erection of a new club house on Newport bay. Plans have been drawn of the proposed building which will be located on the bay shore of the peninsula, or Corona Del Mar Heights, or on Balboa island. Several sites have been examined and a site will in all probability be determined before the end of the resort season. Efforts will be made to hasten the time when the club can abandon its temporary quarters and have its own home that will be a credit to this part of Orange county. The plan includes a central tower with radio equipment commanding a view for miles in every direction, a spacious assembly room for club meetings, lectures and social entertainments, ladies' quarters, where the families of members will find a lounging place. 50 furnished sleeping rooms for the use of members who wish to remain at the club house over night, broad and shaded verandas, a big float a convenient anchorage and facilities for making minor repairs. It is also proposed to add tennis grounds for members who prefer this class of sport to water. The charter membership is limited to 250 who will be called the founders' class of senior members. With a million people residing within 60 miles of Newport bay, from this population it is confidently believed a large membership of those interested in water sports may be acquired. There are 700 yacht clubs in the United States, some with over 2000 members, quite a number with over 1000, and with splendid surrounding territory to draw from. It is expected that Newport bay will have one of the largest yacht clubs and one of the finest club houses to be found on the Pacific coast. bring in about blackeyes should or a little more.

Bacon, m BEST FOOD FOR RATS Scientists have been experimenting in order to find what constitutes the best food for rats. By this they do not mean the diet to which the rodents most quickly succumb, but that which sustains life and keeps the rat well covered. These scientists may as well understand that the good health and longevity of the rat is public concern only because both are deemed regrettable. Conditions marked by invalid rats, all of the creature dying early, would be far more nearly ideal that such as cause the rats to thrive. From the human standpoint, the best food for rats would be a palatable and seductive poison. The experiments, however, have been conducted with a view to finding what food elements are suitable for people. The likelihood that nothing bearing on the subject is to be learned through a study of rats is respectfully submitted. Rats, in their tastes, habits and reactions are different from the superior race to which scientists belong. It is certain that a rat gives every evidence of physical prosperity while subject to a diet and environment that would be death to mankind. Hence the number of calories required by a rat, the vitamins that cause it to be fat and content, are subjects lacking in importance. Study of such subjects does not add information of value to the store of knowledge. Give a rat access to raw corn and it shows evidence of abounding vitality. On similar diet a man would starve. The two widely divergent species have nothing in common. Only such experiments with rats as may have for their purpose the extermination of the expensive and dangerous creatures, may expect to be noted respectfully by the public. WALNUT SPECIALIST APPOINTED WALNUT SPECIALIST APPOINTED The walnut growers of southern California will be gratified in the announcement just received from the director of agriculture extension at the college of agriculture, Berkeley, to the effect that an extension specialist has been appointed to work with the walnut growers of the state in conducting field studies looking toward the solution of many of the cultural problems now confronting the industry. W. P. Hooper of Carpenteria has been selected as the specialist and for the next six months is to maintain his headquarter at the citrus experiment station, Riverdale, where he is to go through a training course of some months acquainting himself with the investigations which the experiment station is conducting for the walnut industry at the present time and outlining plans for field work for the coming year. Walnut grower members of the various farm bureaus are particularly pleased in this announcement since a little more than a year ago at the walnut growers' field day active work was undertaken to secure the appointment of a walnut specialist. The haughty banker has about disappeared, but occasionally you still find the haughty hotel clerk and the haughty ticket agent. ANAHEIM GAZETTE HARDING FAVORS PROJECT Immediate necessity of development of the Colorado river power, irrigation and flood control project at Boulder Canyon, Colorado, in order that danger from flood may be averted in the Imperial valley of California and surrounding regions was urged upon President Harding by representatives of various city organizations of California. The president expressed himself as in favor of developments of superpower projects, which has already had the consideration of Secretary of Commerce Hoover and the cabinet. The delegation which appeared before the president stressed the impending danger from flood through the Imperial valley, which proposed development would prevent. Federal control is the only method of developing this project, including allocation of power in the states of California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, they told the president. Development of the project, provided in a bill introduced in the house by Representative Swing, Republican of California, is designed for the threefold purpose of power, irrigation and flood control. The delegation was headed by Representatives Swing, Osborne and Lineberger, California, and included E. P. Scattergood, chief engineer of Los Angeles; Ralph Crjswell, president of the city council of Los Angeles, and John J. Bacon, mayor of San Diego. Hyglensists believe American women will be health-wise enough to keep their present comfortable way of dressing. Also, they are campaigning to drive some of the same common sense into men. Men, say the hyglensists, should copy the woman and adopt clothing that ventilates the body. This is especially advisable in summer time, to permit quick evaporation of poisonous perspiration. The average person is haunted by a fear of "taking cold." How about the dangers of "taking heat?" You have noticed. In the movies, that the savages dress loosely, so the air gets easily to all parts of their skin. That probably is the chief reason they are as hard as nails and as healthy as young wild cats. THE DIAZ REVOLT AGAIN There is news from Mexico again of the old familiar sort. A rebel movement is afoot. Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of the President Diaz who was ousted when this interminable series of revolutions began, is in Guatemala. Just beyond the border, and is expected to move into southern Mexico and put himself at the head of an army of 15,000 soldiers and a thousand generals, more or less. One of his loyal henchmen is Gen. Carlos Green. Deposed governor of Tabasco, who ought to add pep to the undertaking. This may mean fighting and counter-revolution, with the ousting of President Obregon; and again, it may not. Americans are not likely to greatly impressed by this latest enterprise of the doughty Felix. It is but the last of many attempted coups on his part. Mexico is quite accustomed to the pretentions of this little nephew of a big man. Felix's military pranks so far have been tolerated rather good-naturedly. But the aspiring young man had better be careful. Development of the project, provided in a bill introduced in the house by Representative Swing, Republican of California, is designed for the threefold purpose of power, irrigation and flood control. The delegation was headed by Representatives Swing, Osborne and Lineberger, California, and included E. P. Scattergood, chief engineer of Los Angeles; Ralph Criswell, president of the city council of Los Angeles, and John J. Bacon, mayor of San Diego. BE COMFORTABLE Edison, the inventor, says the chief reason he can work 8 hours a day without getting "run-down" is because he keeps his body healthy by never wearing tight-fitting clothes. Edison wears baggy suits and loose collars. He never wears tight shoes, a belt or anything that would interfere with the circulation of blood through his arteries. In other words, he doesn't saw cross grain on nature. Caybe nature intended the human animal to wear clothes, maybe not. Anyway, she certainly never intended us to wear garments that fit like the casing of a sausage. In winter time, on streets of cities that have snow and zero weather, you see flappers wearing silk stockings and short waists with V-necks cut so low they expose the throat to the cold weather and icy wind. A man, with a high starched collar and woolen muffler around his neck, marvels that the flimsily-dressed flappers fail to die of pneumonia. The reason is simple. The flapper dresses loosely, allowing her blood to circulate freely enough to keep her warm. Her grandmother, jn girlhood, had to bundle up like an Arctic explorer to keep from catching cold, largely because she cramped her blood circulation and other bodily functions by lacing herself into a wasp-waist corset. Men, too, are slowly getting wiser—discarding tight starched choker-collars, painful shoes and plug hats that fit the head like iron hoops. This may mean fighting and counter-revolution, with the ousting of President Obregon; and again, it may not. Americans are not likely to greatly impressed by this latest enterprise of the doughy Felix. It is but the last of many attempted coups on his part. Mexico is quite accustomed to the pretentions of this little nephew of a big man. Felix's military pranks so far have been tolerated rather good-naturedly. But the aspiring young man had better be careful, and not take himself too seriously. Otherwise he may find himself, one of these fine days, shot at sunrise against an adobe wall or given the ley de fuega. APRICOT ROT Numerous inquiries having been received from Orange county ranchers concerning apricot brown rot control, H. E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, made public information furnished by the agricultural extension service for the control of brown rot. Brown rot of apricots is an old parasite fungus disease which of late years has caused considerable loss to growers. It attacks the trees when in bloom, killing the flowers and fruit spurs. Masses of gum accumulate on the twigs. With each successive rain the disease is reactivated and produces spores. The individual spores are invisible to the naked eye and may be carried long distances in the air when stiff winds blow. Should one fall upon a flower it germinates much the same as seed in the ground, provided sufficient moisture is present. For this reason, the disease is most likely to occur when rains and fogs are prevalent during the blooming period. Sprays of standard fungicides have a distinct tendency to curtail the disease. If weather conditions permit, spraying should be started when the trees are about one-fifth in bloom, if but a single spray is to be given. Two sprayings give better results in badly diseased orchards. If the trees are to be sprayed with oil in winter, for insects, Bordeaux may be added with safety to aid in controlling brown rot. Lime sulphur may also be used in safety with most of the oils during this period. In spring, use Bordeaux or lime sulphur. Both are effective in fungicidal properties. Lime sulphur will also control peach twig-borer. Lime sulphur in adverse weather conditions may burn the bark another error of judgment on the part of Woodruff, who is held in the county in lieu of $1000 bail pending his hearing on a charge of driving while intoxicated, was made when he endeavored to throw away the liquid evidence. Occupants of the other car told the sheriff that thww saw Woodruff empty his jug by the side of the road. A depression in the mud was found there and some liquid in it. A cup borrowed from the Illingsworths was used and a small amount of the stuff, having the odor of liquor was secured. FORD RODEO TODAY From all points of the compass, Fords of every vintage will be wending their way to Orange June 15 when the Ford Rodeo, most unique of celebrations, is to be held by that city. A Ford Rodeo is a new one and promises to be a big fun maker. The feature of the affair is to be a parade of Fords, in which prizes will be offered for the noisiest car, the oldest car—the car coming the greatest distance—the car carrying the five homilest men, the five prettiest girls, the car with the oldest top, and dozens of other things which a Ford is and can do. Price in Price Counties Gas Company Preferred Stock Advanced in Price to 10 per Share June August 1, 1922 Form to the increase in securities the Company increase in the selling price of Stock, effective Aug. 1. Ent Yielding 8 Pct. will continue to sell this original price of $99 per $100 a share in ten equal shares up to July 31, 1922. The price will be increased by a guaranteed rate of return" COULDN'T FOOL THE SHERIFF Gasoline poured into a jug that was alleged to have contained liquor in order to kill the odor and eliminate evidence failed to fool Sheriff C. E. Jackson and Under Sheriff E. B. French, who investigated the wreck in which E. C. Woodruff, of Long Beach, is said to have struck a car driven by C. G. Illingsworth, of Santa Ana, injuring four of the occupants of Illingsworth's car. What was said by the officers to be sprayed with oil in winter, for insects, Bordeaux may be added with safety to aid in controlling brown rot. Lime sulphur may also be used in safety with most of the oils during this period. In spring, use Bordeaux or lime sulphur. Both are effective in fungicidal properties. Lime sulphur will also control peach twig-borer. Lime sulphur in adverse weather conditions may burn the buds and blossoms, and, in trees of uncertain vigor, delay ripening and proper sizing of the fruit. Cutting out and burning all diseased wood and mummies as soon as possible is essential. The trees should be opened up to facilitate spraying and to admit sunlight to all the twigs and spurs. Bordeaux should be used as follows: Four pounds of bluestone, five pounds of lime, fifty gallons of water. It may be used as strong as 7 1-2—8-50 with safety. Use lime sulphur solution at the rate of one gallon to nine of water, or dry lime sulphur at the rate of twelve pounds to fifty gallons of water. Citrus growers are interested in the announcement of L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit exchange that a new smudge pot recommended by a committee from the Fruit Growers' Supply company, branch of the California Fruit Growers' association, will be demonstrated Thursday, the first demonstration being at the Santiago packing house at Orange at 9:30 a.m. and the second at the packing house of the Tustin Lemon association at 7 p.m. The inventor will make the demonstrations. Growers are urged by Palmer to attend the demonstrations.
