Moore for the Republican nomination for United States senator. The reasons that impelled this action have been communicated to the members of the ninety-eight churches comprising the Brotherhood. So enthusiastically was this voluntary effort to place Mr. Moore in the United States senate received by the heads of the Brotherhood that, in furtherance of the movement it was decided to send a report of the proceedings and a resume of the reasons for it to the pastors of every church in California. Louis C. Dodelan, executive secretary of the United Church Brotherhood, is personally touring the state to spread the message of Moore's noble and patriotic work during the war, his public service in San Francisco and other sections of the state his record as head of the state council of defense his efforts in behalf of the and Pomona. Other organizations opposing the act are the Woman's Bond and Tax Study League, People's Economy League, Founders' and Employers' association, Commonwealth club, Public Welfare League, Central California Voters' League, Realty Board of San Bernardino, Tulare Grange, Civic Commercial Association of Bakersfield, Chamber of Mines and Oil, Supervisors of Riverside county and other counties, Inyo-Mono Public Welfare League, Workingmen's Civic League and the Los Angeles Realty Board.

Johnson, candidate for state treasurer, is in Los Angeles to direct campaign activities in the south for his election. He is basing his demand for this high office on his record as state superintendent of weights and measures in California. Not only did Johnson have the housewives of California more than $20,000,000 by the establishment of his department, and the correction of erroneous business methods such as short weights, but his work in standardizing bread was so valuable that during the war, it was adopted by the United States government as a war economy measure. In Los Angeles county, uring Johnson's administration in office, he had 240,000 milk bottles destroyed, thereby saving the people of that county $800,000. His stand in fighting for honest weights and measures was taken in defense of the common people, and, particularly, of housewives. "Housewives are engaged in the biggest business in the state," Johnson declares, "they are the least able to protect themselves from crooked business, and the least able to lose through it. So we worked steadily on the proposition of establishing honest weights and measures throughout the state." Johnson not only administered the laws of his department, but he was the father of them and established the department. His friends declare that he knows every function of state government and every state law, and that he will bring to bear a highly specialized expert knowledge to the office of state treasurer. To secure the nomination, Johnson is working for a large vote at the primary election. PLACENTIA MAN ATTACKED BY FOOTPADS Shot Three Times, But Not Seriously Wounded. In an attempted holdup Pedro Rios, Placentia billiard hall proprietor, was fired at three times, but the bullets failed to disable him and he put up a fight, driving his assailant off. All of the three shots fired by the footpad, who is now being hunted by the authorities for the attempted holdup late Saturday night, hit Rios. One struck him in the left breast, but instead of piercing his auricle or ventricle it remained entangled with his cuticle. A second bullet grazed Rios' back, ploughed a furrow beneath the skin and along the entire width of the back, but failing to get any deeper than the skin. A third shot took effect in the left forearm and managed to penetrate some distance into that member. All of the three bullets were later extracted by Anaheim physicians who attended the wounded man at his home. The hold-up man failed to accomplish his purpose, being driven off when Rois unlimbered his own weapon and returned two shots. Whether either found its mark was not known by Rios, but his assailant vanished after the second shot. Johnson not only administered the laws of his department, but he was the father of them and established the department. His friends declare that he knows every function of state government and every state law, and that he will bring to bear a highly specialized expert knowledge to the office of state treasurer. To secure the nomination, Johnson is working for a large vote at the primary election. AGAINST WATER & POWER ACT Crushing defeat of the so-called water and power act, authorizing a $500,000,000 bond issue, is seen by the People's Economy League, which has just completed a survey of sentiment in the leading cities and communities of southern California. More than thirty of the larger organizations of California have gone on record against the constitutional amendment, which is to be voted upon November 7, according to a report compiled by the league. These organizations have a membership in excess of 500,000. The list includes such bodies as the federation of state societies, with more than 300,000 members in the southern counties, California Bankers' association, California Warehousemen's association, California Mutual Water Companies' association, California Association of Insurance Agents, Azusa Irrigation company and California Irrigation association, which sponsors the Marshall plan. The Associated Chambers of Commerce of San Gabriel valley has adopted resolutions condemning the measure as have the Chambers of Commerce of Santa Monica, Lancaster, Upland. Visalia, Whittier, Redondo, THEY NEVER DID IT! For the Republican administration to make a remarkable saving is regarded as especially reprehensible by some of our Democratic contemporaries. The average person who tries to "kill two birds with one stone," doesn't hit either one of them. Ohio we hear: To bake two cakes at the same time Royal Baking Powder in one, better powder in the other. The mix with Royal was so appetizingicious, so finely grained and so that in comparison, the—other not a cake." Mrs. G. P. Y. ROYAL BING POWDER Absolutely Pure Leaves No Bitter Taste New Royal Cook Book—It’s FREE Powder Co., 130 William St., New York CALIFORNIA CROP REPORT ANG. 1 From report issued by E. E. Kaulman, statistician, California co-operative crop reporting service: Conditions were generally favorable during the past month for both field and fruit crops. Temperatures remained comparatively high during the month, but no material damage was indicated. In fact, it is generally believed there was some improvement through the hastening of the ripening of some of the fruits. The corn crop showed a slight improvement in the principal corn growing section and the TEACHERS OF HISTORY History seems to have become a live issue. The controversy over Mr. Wells' "Outline" continues to rage, less hotly perhaps, but more steadily, than the controversy over evolution started by Mr. Bryan or the one over Conan Doyle and his "spirits." The college professors and other history experts, as a rule, are against Wells. They insist that he is no historian at all, and the work he has written is not history. The author, if interrogated, would probably smile and refer them to his preface, and say he agreed with them—and ask them to go ahead themselves and do the job better. And there's the crux of whole business. The fact is that the brilliant and indefatigable English novelist, with all his alleged defects of scholarship and judgment, as Prof. Shapiro, of the College of te City of New York admits, "as interested the average intelligent reader in history." and that "no professional historian now living has ever done or could do it." Wherefore the public sides with Wells, and smiles tolerantly at the professors. If Wells has done this—and it is agreed on all sides that he has—he is a great teacher. no matter what the formal and eagle-eyed experts say. For the truly successful teacher in any line is not the one who crams pupils or readers with guaranteed facts, but the one who interests them in the subject to such an extent that they will go ahead under their own steam and learn the facts for themselves. BALFOUR DECEIVES In three respects Lord Balfour was guilty of deception in his letter to the allied nations suggesting a cancellation of the debts if the United States would also agree. In the first place, Lord Balfour left has acquired through mandates. He carefully avoided even mentioning those mandates lost the attention of the world be called to his unfairies and inequitable proposition. British authorities have repeatedly asserted that it is the intention of Great Britain to fund and ultimately to pay her obligations to the United States. Thus far there has been no question of the good faith and sincerity of these assurances. If, however, British spokesmen of the prominence of Lord Balfour continue to offer manifestly unfair suggestions such as that recently published, the United States will be compelled to accept the only possible theory—that Great Britain has no intention of meeting her obligations, obligations to which no defense can be made either legal or moral. GOMPERS TEACHES BOLSHEVISM Notwithstanding Mr. Gompers’ fierce denunciations of the bolsshevists in Russia and his cancellation of characters of labor unions in the United States that express sympathy for the bolsshevists, there can be no overlooking the fact that Mr. Gompers is preaching the doctrines of bolshevism. In a recent address he condemned the owners of coal mines for operating those mines not for service but for profit. It requires but a moment’ analysis to ascertain that this is the essence, the substance, of bolshevism. From the beginning of civilization the acquisition of a profit has been the stimulus which has induced men to work, to endure and to save. The hope of laying aside a competence during the days of health and strength and activity as a means of sustenance in the years of decline and old age has impelled men to give up their comfort and ease while they strive to take from the soil that which directly or indirectly will sustain them in the present and future.

Temperatures remained comparatively high during the month, but no material damage was indicated. In fact, it is generally believed there was some improvement through the hastening of the ripening of some of the fruits. The corn crop showed a slight improvement in the principal corn growing section and the forecast of production shows 4,215,000 bushels as against 4,060,000 bushels on practically the same acreage in 1921. The preliminary estimate of the production of wheat throughout the state indicates the largest average yield per acre for over 20 years. Conditions were very favorable to this crop, where sown on summer followed land, and large areas have averaged from 15 to 20 sacks per acre. For the state as a whole the preliminary estimate is placed, at 21.5 bushels per acre, which on the estimated area to be harvested, gives us a crop of 14,900,000 bushels. Harvest is practically over except in the extreme north and northeastern counties. Oats show a slight improvement compared with July 1. As the barley harvest progressed it was noted that the production was going to be larger than indicated by early condition reports. August 1 showed an improvement of 4 points in the condition, the crop now being estimated at 94 per cent of a normal as compared with 80 last year and a ten year average of 83. On the basis of our preliminary estimate of acreage, a total crop of 38,400,000 bushels is now indicated. The rice crop improved slightly the past month particularly in the northern counties in the Sacramento valley. On the assumption that the estimated area planted will all be harvested and that average conditions prevail until harvest time the probable crop will amount to about 3,780,000 bags, 100 pounds each. MENACE TO MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP "Municipal ownership of water and electricity is not only menaced, but restricted by the $500,000,000 water and power constitutional amendment," said Bruce Brown, manager of the Southern Board & Paper Mills at Ver non, in an address to his employees. "Under the provisions of this act, a municipality might be permitted to but the one who interests them in the subject to such an extent that they will go ahead under their own steam and learn the facts for themselves. BALFOUR DECEIVES In three respects Lord Balfour was guilty of deception in his letter to the allied nations suggesting a cancellation of the debts if the United States would also agree. In the first place, Lord Balfour left the impression that the United States alone is unwilling to cancel any obligations. The fact of the matter is that when peace was declared with Germany, the United States then and there renounced any reparation claims. The United States did its cancelling in advance so far as Germany is concerned. Then, too, Lord Balfour left the impression that in a mutual cancellation debts among the allies, the United States would be affected in the same manner as the other nations. The fact is the United States owes no nation, and, therefore, there would be no nation to cancel an obligation of this country at the same time that this country cancelled obligations due from other nations. Moreover, Lord Balfour was careful not to make any mention whatever of the immense commercial benefits Great Britain in particular, and in a lesser degree France, had gained by reason of the mandates over former German territory acquired by them as a result of war. Great Britain became controller of German East Africa and German Southwest Africa as well as numerous islands in the south Pacific, all of which will add billions of dollars to her commercial wealth. Through her ownership and control of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad, her control of the principle ports of Africa, her colonial possessions, and her mandates over other territory. British enterprise will enjoy almost a monopoly in African trade. When he was proposing that nations cancel debts due to them, he made no offer to give up the advantage Great Britain When Mr. Gompers condemns man or any group of men for conducting business operations "for a profit he virtually declares that they should work without a profit which would mean no accumulation of capital, and if present accumulated capital is not utilized without a profit this means virtual confiscation—exactly what we accomplished under the regime Lenin and Trotsky in Russia. Service without profit is the ideal; the bolshevist and he resorts to armies to force the rendering of the service. He confiscates all the product of farm not needed for the immediate sustenance of the life of the tiller; the soil. Acting upon the same theory of economics, the bolshevist government confiscated the factor which represented the profits of men who had toiled in order to utilize it; the establishment of industrial institutions which would furnish employment for large numbers of men. Confiscation meant destruction, and, as a consequence, lack of production is great trouble in Russia today. It is to be hoped that the utterance which fell from the lips of Mr. Gompers and has been so widely published throughout the United States, we hastily considered sentiment which on further reflection he will emphatically repudiate. MENACE TO MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP "Municipal ownership of water and electricity is not only menaced, but restricted by the $500,000,000 water and power constitutional amendment," said Bruce Brown, manager of the Southern Board & Paper Mills at Veron, in an address to his employees. "Under the provisions of this act, a municipality might be permitted to construct its own distribution system, but it would be obliged to contract with the water aid power board for its supply of water and power. This autocratic board would have the right to fix rates, and control the source of supply, making the municipality absolutely subservient to its dictates and abrogating all of the principles of home rule, which is the basis of municipal ownership. There is also in this initiative meause as snater thrust at municipalities, which have water and power resources in their vicinity, upon which they have possibly filed, with a view to future development. Under this act, the water and power board has the right to demand that the city either develop the prospect within a short period, or else forego the right to do so. Failure to develop within a period, which would be quite impossible and probably impracticable for most cities and towns, would result in giving the water and power board, control of the water or power within or adjacent to its boundaries, at such rates as three political autocrats should see fit to fix."

IT CREATED ONL YDEBTS Recovery in business seems to be worrying some of our Democratic friends and they are trying to credit it to the last administration. As near as we can get at Mr. Gomper’s idea, the striking coal miners are quite ready to listen to reason as-soon as all their demands are complied with. DON’T CARE FOR AMERICA! Those who talk so protestingly against the tariff seem to prefer that Europe should make goods for us and our workers be idle. THAT’S THE PURPOSE Denial to the courts of the powers to declare any law unconstitutional as is proposed, would amount to repeal of the constitution.
