This record eclipsed that of the first six months of 1921 by $1,997,225. The total for the period last year was $2,-071,647. Shattering all past records for the city b y wa wide margin, figures for building operations in Santa Ana alone during the first half of the present year reached a total of $1,854,240. The increase over last year was $1,-250,254. While part of the huge amount has gone or will go toward the construction of industrial plants or business houses, a majority of the total has been spent in the building of new homes.

The increase over last year was $1,250,254. While part of the huge amount has gone or will go toward the construction of industrial plants or business houses, a majority of the total has been spent in the building of new houses or apartments in the city, W. S. Decker, city building inspector, pointed out. Anaheim, with a total of $698,981 for the 1922 period, ranked second among the cities of the county. The record at the Mother Colony surpassed that for the six months of 1921, when permits for work totalling $458,150 were taken out, by $231,831. Showing a 1922 increase of nearly 150 per cent for the six month period, building permits for Fullerton this year totalled $658,709. It was shown. The 1921 mark was $273,986. The figures this year surpass those of last by $384,723. Orange writes itself into the story of county prosperity with an enormous increase in building permits for the present year period aggregating $305,242 more than in 1921. The half-year mark there last year was $126,935, as against $432,177 for 1922. Huntington Beach was the only community of the five to show a decrease for the present period. The 1922 total was $443,765 as against $618,590 for last year. The fact that the greater part of the boom following the discovery of oil at the beach city came in the first part of 1921 is pointed to as the reason for the dropping off in building permits. March was the largest month in point of building totals for Santa Ana this year. Permits for work aggregating $300,771 were taken out during that period. January took the van at Anaheim with a mark of $130,400. March led at Fullerton with a total of $266,915 and at Oranage with permits totalling $170,300. May was the largest single month at Huntington Beach, the statistics reading $109,508 for the period. Substantial progress in building was made at Newport and Balboa, Seal Beach, Laguna Beach, Brea and numerous other communities in the county. CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S RELIEF ASSOCIATION Everybody Should Assist This Laudable Society The need of forming the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange county, was impressed on a few public spirited citizens by the fact that there were so many cases reported in this vicinity that it was impossible to treat them anywhere. Only at a great inconvenience and expense. Here, the work can be carried on right under the supervision of the parents or guardian of the children. And also where the supporters of the association can better see what the fruits of their kindness and consideration will bring forth. One little girl living in Orange county, near the Los Angeles county line, was struck between the eyes and injured to such an extent that catacracts formed and she was totally blind in both eyes for several months. An operation was performed by the professional staff of our association and now this little girl can see and study her lessons in school, like other children. This little girl might have been blind the rest of her days, had it not been for our association. Just think of it. The expenses of carrying on this work is all met with funds subscribed by sympathetic persons, charitably inclined. Won't you help a little? No subscription will be deemed to large or too small. Mail or give your contribution to either Mrs. Lottie E. Moore or Mrs. Emanuel Smith, of Fullerton; Mrs. Thomas H. McFadden, of Placentia, or Mrs. M. E. Canby, secretary, at Anaheim.

Brock has issued a warning to motorists in connection with the Sicilian snail, now prevalent at La Jolla. Many of the southern California counties are taking active steps to prevent the spread of this pest, which is overrunning everything in La Jolla's said Brock. In order that these snails may not be inadvertently introduced into Orange county, motorists are urged to be careful in picking them up when passing through San Diego county. "Curiosity, perhaps, was responsible for the introduction of the snails into La Jolla, as it is possible that some one, while traveling abroad, brought back samples and deposited them in San Diego county. "This snail, which multiplies rapidly, is a menace to vegetation and if it once gets a foothold it is hard to dislodge." Brock made public a letter received from the Southern California Ganners' bureau, enclosing a resolution passed by the bureau urging the appointment of additional inspectors at San Pedro to prevent the entry of fruit infected with Mediterranean fly. Other organizations, it was believed, will pass similar resolutions. "SCUTTLE" BRIGADE IS AGAIN VERY BUSY Coincident with the opening of the Democratic congressional campaign of 1922, a delegation of Filipino politicians is coming to the United States, at heavy expense to the people of the Philippine islands, to carry on agitation against the continuance of American sovereignty in the archipelago. It will be recalled that more than twenty years ago the Democratic party ran a campaign on the issue of "anti-imperialism," and perhaps the party which is principally "anti" everything is sufficiently bankrupt in issues at this time to justify raising once more the question of keeping the Philippines within the shelter of the American flag. There never was a more unfortunate time for agitation against American sovereignty in the Philippine islands. The Woods-Forbes report, which enters exhaustively into conditions there, proves that under the administration of Governor General Harrison a veritable riot of extravagance, inefficiency and graft was inaugurated, and that when he left the Philippines they were headed straight toward complete disorganization and disorder. All that Americans had accomplished in twenty years of remarkably efficient and devoted service to the island, was threatened by the low grade of political manipulation which followed, under a governor general pledged to the task of undoing what the United States had accomplished, and of destroying not only American sovereignty but American influence in the islands. If the former Tammany congressman, who carried this work so far toward its intended goal, had not been ousted promptly upon the return of the Republican party to power, it is not improbable that chaotic conditions would before this have been created throughout the service to the Philippines and the United States in the work of reconstruction in the islands. It is fortunate that he has found it possible to extend his stay at Manilla for some months. The thoughtful and genuinely patriotic people of the Philippine islands, are glad that the administration of public affairs in the islands has been put on a business basis, and that legislation and administration are no longer in the hands of professional political exploiters. One statement recently made by General Wood is fundamental in connection with the Philippine problem. That is that the United States does not propose to have responsibility in the islands without authority. When Uncle Sam leaves the islands he should leave them for good, with no responsibility whatever resting upon this government for their future. WHAT FORD DOESN'T PROMISE Here is one definite thing to remember about the free fertilizer folly—Henry Ford doesn't promise to make fertilizer unless it pays. Secretary Weeks asked him if he would guarantee to manufacture fertilizers during the life of the contract (100 years). Ford's answer was "No." Asked if he couldn't under the contract, stop making them at any time, Ford replied: "Of course, I am going to stop it if I can not manufacture it profitably." Which, of course, makes the whole thing a huge laboratory experiment for Ford, with the certainty that he can sel lelectricity at a profit, meanwhile. Texas led all states in May. Not in industry, bank deposits, charities, or science—just lynching. EDWARD B. MERRITT CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR Of Orange County AUDITOR Of Orange County Primary Election, Tuesday, August 29, 1922 JEROME MAKES STATEMENT To the Voters of Orange County: Friends: Again I appear before you as a candidate for county auditor, and ask your favorable consideration at the ballot box on August 29th. The office of auditor is one that has to deal with facts and figures only, consequently is not very much in the lime light. It touches the general public only in a business way and as a result of this a great many citizens have a very faint idea of the importance of the office and the part it plays in safe guarding the millions of dollars the county handles annually. Since taking charge of the office in January, 1915, we have checked the items and written the warrants on $23,000,000 of your business and are proud of the part we have taken and thankful to the electors for the opportunity we have had to serve them during this period of the county's development. I like my job, and the people I work for. I will deeply appreciate the honor if you see fit to re-elect me and promise to conduct the office in the future as in the past to the best of my ability.
