SUPERVISORS REFUSE AID TO FARM BUREAU Decline to Appropriate Money for a New Department Expressing full sympathy with the farm bureau and the excellent work it is doing in Orange county, but declaring it inadvisable at present to shoulder additional financial burden in connection with the farm bureau budget, the board of supervisors decided against appropriating $1500 for a home demonstration department. Inasmuch as no demand among the women of the county for a home demonstration agent had been shown, either to the supervisors or to the farm bureau itself, the board felt disinclined to "agitate" an expense which it had no need to fill, it told farm bureau officials which appeared before it late Thursday to sound out the supervisors on the question. The farm bureau appropriation, providing for retention of an assistant farm advisor, was therefore allowed to remain at $4600, that amount representing the expenses of the farm advisor and his assistant. "I think that Orange county women are quite capable anyway of handling their household affairs, and canning their fruit, without having someone coming in to tell them how," Chairman T. B. Talbert answered, when Farm Bureau Secretary R. D. Flaherty asked if the board desired to be understood as opposed to an organization of 400 women, should such be formed, which might ask for a home demonstration department. Talbert made it clear that if there was such a demand the board would be inclined to recognize it. Supervisor N. T. Edwards added his endorsement to the sentiment, which, it was said, represented the attitude of the entire board. Flaherty explained that so far as the farm bureau knew, those were... Talbert made it clear that if there was such a demand the board would be inclined to recognize it. Supervisor N. T. Edwards added his endorsement to the sentiment, which, it was said, represented the attitude of the entire board. Flaherty explained that so far as the farm bureau knew, there was no such demand for a demonstrator. The bureau merely desired to know how the board stood on the matter an, in any event, he said, such an appropriation as suggested would not be needed until next year. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Petition of James Rice et al to vacate, abandon and abolish the public street known as Rice avenue in the fifth road district, granted. Franchise under the application of the Miley-Keck Oil company was sold to them for $100. County auditor was directed to draw warrants for registration clerks as set forth in certified copy presented by the county clerk. Petition in the matter of the incorporation of the city of Garden Grove was presented by Head & Rutan, attorneys for petitioners. Protests were presented by Attorneys Walter Eden, Chas. D. Swanner and Leonard Evans, attorneys for protestants. The county surveyor was instructed to prepare boundary lines as submitted by the board and hearing was continued to August 30, at 10 a.m. The board ordered to accept grant deed from Laura M. Underhill et al to the county of Orange. The petition of William E. Silcox et al to vacate and abandon a portion of those certain public streets and alleys located in the fifth road district, was presented and set for hearing September 12, at 10 a.m. Publication to be made in Newport News. Petition of Louis Muchow et al for the formation of a storm water district was presented and same was referred to county assessor with instructions to check with assessment roll. Chairman was authorized to sign application to railroad commission to make its order authorizing applicant to establish grade crossing across the Southern Pacific right of way. Chairman was authorized to approve employers and employees of the automotive industry in Orange county are looking forward to a dinner to be given in the immediate future, at which Percy Chamberlain, originator of the flat-rate plan for automobile repair work and a man prominent as a writer for magazines devoted to automobiles, will be the principal speaker. Herbert O. Davis, secretary of the Orange County Automobile Trades' association, forwarded a letter to Chamberlain in Los Angeles asking him to address such a meeting here on a date that may be convenient to him. Chamberlain is on the coast for a brief visit and has delivered a number of addresses on "Service." He is said to be a clear and forceful speaker and to have the faculty of putting his points over in such a way that his hearers can grasp them in their full import. Following a policy adopted about a year ago of interesting employees if the business of their employers, the latter are arranging the meeting that their men may hear Chamberlain discuss the matter of service and the importance of the individual in the cog of each individual business organization. Cultivation of the spirit of closer corporations, 5711, and partnerships, 7843. The number of separate returns filed in 1922 was 47,926 greater than the total for 1921. "It must be borne in mind that the 1921 collections was made under a personal exemption of $2000 for married men with $200 for each dependent. The 1922 collection faced a personal exemption of $2500 with $400 for each dependent. This meant a loss of $20 tax on each married man and of $36 on each married man with two dependents. Figuring that 125,000 of the 171,812 personal returns were from married men with one dependent each, entailing a total decrease in tax assessment of $3,500,000. Yet in the face of this immense shrinkage in revenue the Los Angeles collections held their own. The internal revenue department collected five billion dollars in the United States in 1921 at a cost of operation of about seven-tenths of one per cent." MOTOR DEALERS TO HEAR NOTED SPEAKER Percy Chamberlain to Speak to the County Auto Tradesmen Employers and employees of the automotive industry in Orange county are looking forward to a dinner to be given in the immediate future, at which Percy Chamberlain, originator of the flat-rate plan for automobile repair work and a man prominent as a writer for magazines devoted to automobiles, will be the principal speaker.

Following a policy adopted about a year ago of interesting employees in the business of their employers, the latter are arranging the meeting that their men may hear Chamberlain discuss the matter of service and the importance of the individual in the cog of each individual business organization. Cultivation of the spirit of closer operation between employer and employee, with promulgation of the idea that the employee should place consideration of the patron before the interests of the employer, has been of great benefit in advancing the interests of all concerned, according to Davis. The date and place of the get-together meeting will be announced by Davis when he ascertain definitely the date Chamberlain may be available for an address in this county. GAS ENGINE BRINGS INDUSTRIAL CHANGE A complete economic change has taken place in the petroleum industry in the years intervening between 1906 and 1922, according to a statement made by R. L. Welch, secretary of the American Petroleum Institute, before the senate committee on manufactures, which is conducting an inquiry into the oil situation. Next to the remarkable growth of the industry itself during that period—from a gasoline production of about 8,000,000 barrels in 1906 to an indicated production of 140,000,000 barrels this year—the most noteworthy feature has been the astonishing spread of the independent interests. For example, in 1906, the independ- ANAHEIM GAZETTE CALIFORNIA CITRUS ACREAGE Three-fourths of an acre of citrus fruits for each person in California in 1920 is the record California growers have made. About seventy-eight percent of the acreage is in bearing oranges and twenty per cent in lemons, while new plantings are about sixty-two per cent oranges and thirty-five per cent lemons. Formerly the navel orange made up about seventy per cent of the orange crop, but in 1921 it was only a little over fifty-six per cent. On the other hand the Valencia has increased until now it makes up about forty-three per cent of the oranges. To assist growers in understanding cultural and market practices, the university of California college of agriculture is offering its services in several ways. The county farm advisors, the division of citriculture, the citrus experiment station and a correspondence course on citrus fruits are all helping growers to keep up with the best practices and to understand the changes taking place in the citrus industry. SMALL CLAIMS COURT NUISANCE Justice J. B. Cox, the nemesis of heavy-toed motorists who insist on fracturing the highway laws of Orange county, has small time for the small claims court, commonly known as the "poor man's court." "It's a legal parasite, the barnacle of the courts," said Justice Cox, discussing the proposal of Justice Hinshaw, of Los Angeles, who suggests legislative action to amend the small claims court act. "It's the slow-moving hookworm of justice, and it should dent refining capacity was only about 10 per cent of the total; at present it is about 63 per cent in the United States alone and 66 per cent in this country and Mexico combined. of a big oil strata at 4500 feet will prove an incentive to renewed activities in prospective fields where drilling has been abandoned at around depths of 3500 feet. THE HALTER DRAWS Mr. Gompers is for a labor board when it decides his way and against a labor board when it displeases him. He is for injunctions when the unions want to appeal for an injunction and against an injunction when the employers resort to that remedy. He is for the courts when they are protecting his interests and against the courts when they are protecting other people from his acts. He presents pretty much the same spectacle as the I. W. W. agitators who had defied all laws until they found themselves arrested with an angry mob at their heels—then they appealed for the protection of the law and its officers. In the meantime, whatever may be the attitude of either labor or capital toward the courts and the law, the great body of the American people will continue to uphold the courts and enforce the law for the protection not only of the common welfare, but of individual rights and property. In olden times, when they used to hang men for stealing, a philosopher wrote that "no thief e'er felt the halter draw, with good opinion of the law," and the same perversity of human nature still exists. HOW TO GET "GOOD WILL" Every man or woman who works has three marketable assets—brain power, muscle power and good will. He can put his head, his arm and his heart on the job. Ordinarily when an employer bids for his services, the price fixed covers only the worker's brain and brawn. His good will is either taken for granted or left out of consideration. County Assessor James Sleeper made an active campaign for the election of County Clerk Backs and Treasurer Joplin, both of whom were triumphantly elected at the primary on Tuesday. Mr. Sleeper had no opposition for assessor and was reelected by a unanimous vote. He is without doubt the most popular man in the county and while he did no campaigning for himself, was active in soliciting votes for Backs and Joplin. The returns show that he did very good work, for while it is impossible to beat Backs and Joplin for their respective offices the large vote polled by them is good evidence of Jim's successful campaign. GOMPERS' IDEA AT WORK Railroad strikers in one town have seized the railroad shops and the authorities have locked up in jail the watchmen employed by the roads for guarding their property. Mr. Gompers' doctrine of labor above the law seems to be taking. ONE YEAR OF REPUBLICANISM A year ago we were holding unemployment conferences—today any man who really wants a job can get it. CERTIFICATE OF CO-PARTNERSHIP Know All Men By These Presents: That we, the undersigned, H. O. Stanton and Lucy M.

He can put his head, his arm and his heart on the job. Ordinarily when an employer bids for his services, the price fixed covers only the worker's brain and brawn. His good will is either taken for granted or left out of consideration. Of late years we have heard a great deal about standardizing and efficiency. Routing of work has been brought to an exact science. Time clocks and checking devices of various kinds have been invented to eliminate the evils of waste, carelessness, tardiness etc. But in spite of all the efficiency and mechanical experts, the great fact remains that the laboring classes are in many places as dissatisfied as ever, and there is still an annual loss caused by this dissatisfaction possibly sufficient to more than take care of the debt incurred by us as a result of the great war. Certainly improved machinery and efficient management in aud out of the shop are going to continue to develop, but the real economy of the future—the kind that will carry an organization to the highest success—is the kind that comes from the heartfelt desire on the part of each individual to do his level best for the firm that employs him. Such a feeling is inspired only through confidence and good will. It manifests itself only when the worker's heart is in sympathy with his arm and his head. GET RID OF IRRITATIONS The progress that has been made already through the efforts of shippers, transportation men and labor leaders alike toward the lifting of the fruit embargo in California is confirmation of the opinion that the trouble on this coast was not due in any sense to the strike itself, but to failure of certain parties to the local situation to employ the tact that was always advisable. Doubless there were certain persons, and they were not to be found on either side alone, who were looking for trouble, and who hoped that a complete tie-up in California would add to the complications in the east. Let us hope that this angle of the industrial miscreancy will be defeated. The original cause of the strike is... PREDICT NEW OIL FIELD IN COUNTY Santa Ana Men to Start Drilling on Huntington Beach Surf Tract Eugene N. DeVaul, Clarence E. Oleson and J. J. Irvin, real estate men of Santa Ana, visioned the accumulation of wealth from the development of oil on a sixty-acre tract in Huntington Beach Surf field that they have acquired of Sam Gisler, well-known farmer of the lowlands district. Negotiations for the purchase of the tract were begun before the Standard Oil company hit oil a few days ago at its Surf well No. 2 on the property of the Surf Land and Water company. The latter well is within 500 feet of the west line of the Gisler property. The Standard Oil company now is building a rig on the sixty-acre tract close to the west line, and, according to DeVaul, drilling operations will be pushed rapidly. The same company is also staking grounds for a well on the F. E. Farnsworth property immediately north of that purchased by the Santa Ana men, DeVaul said. Development of a big producer in Surf well No. 2 at a depth of 4500 feet has resulted in great activity in that immediate vicinity. Prediction made that a large number of wells would be drilling in the immediate future. It was declared that the discovery strike itself, but to failure of certain parties to the local situation to employ the tact that was always advisable. Doubless there were certain persons, and they were not to be found on either side alone, who were looking for trouble, and who hoped that a complete tie-up in California would add to the complications in the east. Let us hope that this angle of the industrial miscreancy will be defeated. The original cause of the strike is serious enough and complicated enough without having added to it local irritations and unnecessary shipping paralysis. WHY TAKE SUCH RISKS? The tragic death of the young woman who fell from the edge of a cliff in Yosemite park, where she was posing for her picture, down to the whirling rapids of the Merced river, carries a lesson for all who adventure in dangerous places. Just as much scenery as the eye can vision clearly or the mind issimilate can be enjoyed with a safe margin between the spectator and danger. Nothing can be gained by neglecting this margin; life itself may be lost. To the father who nearly lost his own life in frantic efforts to save his daughter, her death must seem the most unnecessary of calamities. He would be the first to urge that the gay fearlessness of youth be warned. There are in almost every party of travelers those whose daring bids them take chances. It is true that this is the very spirit which has led to all the great conquests and discoveries; but unless some worthwhile purpose can be served by risk, risk becomes mere foolhardiness, defend it as we may. William Allred, confessed bootlegger of Placentia, is either on his way or is preparing to leave Orange county following the ultimatum given him by Justice J. S. Howard that he leave this section within ten days. Allred pleaded guilty to a charge of manufacturing liquor. Officers said he had arranged an elaborate "wood screen" arrangement to escape detection. They charged that he did his unlawful business in the center of three vacant houses at Placentia, all of which he rented. The charge that Miss Kay Luther and her brother, Oscar Luther aided Allred in the liquor manufacturing business, was dismissed. It was said that there was no evidence tending to show that either of the Luthers was guilty of the charge.
