VOLUME LI SCHOOLS BEGIN THE FALL TERM NEXT WEEK REGISTRATION FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL IS IN PROGRESS THIS WEEK More Than a Hundred Seniors Will Be Enrolled This Year, it is Expected—Heavy Increase in Both the High and Elementary Schools—Four New Rooms Added to the Grammar Group—Many New Instructors on the Roll. After enjoying a three months' vacation the students, pupils and kiddies of the high school, grammar school and kindergarten will resume their studies next week. Most of the old teachers were re-engaged, although a few of them resigned at the close of last season. Their places were filled and several new teachers besides added to rolls. Prof. J. A. Clayes is still head of their work in the clinches. There was little heavy punching. The decision was popular with the bugs. Johnny McGraw knocked Jack Burman for a goal in the third canto in the semi-windup affair. McGraw's wicked right was too much for his opponent. Young Terry, of Whittier, made a monkey out of Bud Baker, of Orange, for the first round, and then dropped him for the count in the second frame. It was Terry's fight all the way. Johnnie Bowers, substituted for Pete Wagner, and earned a draw verdict from Young Montoya, of Placentia. Bowers looked to be outweighed, but he carried a mean kick that Montoya evaded with extreme care. A couple of kids, Johnny Nandes, of Anaheim, and Pete Pina, of Covina, went round and round in the curtain raiser. Pina got the decision.

Most of the old teachers were re-engaged, although a few of them resigned at the close of last season. Their places were filled and several new teachers besides added to rolls. Prof. J. A. Clayes is still head of the high school faculty and C. C. Smith supervising principal of the grammar schools. There are thirty-five instructors in the high school this year and nearly forty in the grammar schools. Owing to the rapid increase in attendance the grammar school trustees are finding it difficult to provide sufficient room for the pupils. Two new buildings of two rooms each are just being completed on the Fremont school grounds, one north and the other south of the Citron school, but these will not go far toward relieving the pressure as they will barely accommodate the increased attendance. The new high school group will relieve the congestion in that institution somewhat, although the registration will be considerably larger than a year ago. Registration for the high school is in progress this week. The freshmen began registering at 1 p.m. Tuesday and continued over Wednesday, which was also the day for the sophs to sign up. Today the juniors are registering and tomorrow is senior day. Last year there were 82 in the senior class, but this year the hundred mark will be passed. All the other classes are expected to be much larger than formerly. Prof. J. A. Clayes is the principal, Miss Bella Walker and George Hedstrom assistant principals; Miss Myrtle Winter secretary and Miss Florine Coykendall assistant secretary. The following is a list of the teachers and the subjects: Irene Jacques, girls' athletic instructor; Mrs. Fern Amack, assistant girls' coach; Ray Elliott, boys' coach; Irene MacLean, art and stagecraft; D. F. Lehmer, bookkeeping, commercial law and arithmetic; Alice Alten, shorthand and typewriting; Alameda Hodgdon, penmanship, spelling and business English; Martena Neal, domestic science; Lucille Perry sewing; Mrs. Lane, stage sewing, craft work and millinery; Mrs. Faye Kern-Schulz, oral English; Alice Bate, English No. 1; LuLu Lumsey, English Nos. 1 and 2. HIGHWAYMEN BEAT UP TWO YOUNG MEN Rob Them of Their Money and Drive Away in Their Car Ernest Rannie, of Cypress, is lying at his home suffering from injuries received in a hold-up Thursday night. The young man was seriously injured and told his story to the sheriff's officers between periods of unconsciousness. Rannie, with a companion named Burns, of Long Beach, were held up about 10:30 o'clock Thursday night by thugs about a mile this side of Seal Beach, were attacked, robbed of their money, their valuables and their small car, and left unconscious in a field adjoining the highway. Rannie was picked up by a passing motorist and taken to his home at Cypress. According to the story which Rannie told, he and Burns, who are both tank builders employed by the Standard Oil company at La Mirada, were going to Long Beach when another car forced them from the road. Two men are said to have stepped out from this car and confronted them with a demand for "booze." Rannie says that when he told the thugs that he had no booze, a scuffle ensued in which both of the young men were hit over the head with blackjacks and rendered unconscious. When they regained their senses later, Rannie says, they found themselves lying in a field nearby. Both were cut about the head and face, and Burns was suffering from a fractured collar bone. Rannie claims to have staggered to ward Santa Ana when he was picked up by a passing motorist and taken to his home in Cypress, while Burns is supposed to have reached his home in Long Beach. The bandits are said to have relieved Burns of $35 in cash and a gold watch. Rannie said the change which he had on his person was not bothered. SOUNDS WARNING TO THE CITRUS GROWERS Commissioner Brock Denies That He Recommends Sprays A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, sounded a warning in connection with a number of sprays now being widely exploited throughout Orange county. According to the announcement by County Auditor Rome, which is now being circulated, the county's obligations during the summer there is a surplus of rations and a half in the county Joplin. This is showing considering ed valuations in the conservative, and the smallest of any state. The receipts from all sources were and a half million, the hand from last year and a quarter, making $6,788,000. The districtalled $5,236,000, leaving the good of a little over a half. The report shows linquents at the closest year were unusually small. Some of the items raised for receipts are: Tax 615,222.53, assessor's personal property tax county clerk's fees $11 perer's fees $32,115.20, $1454.25, sheriff's fees perior court fees $18 fines and fees $23,950 state tax sales $9970 capital income $7514.75 crop from county farmland of prison barley to gravel city motor vehicle finisher of road oil, rock, cement sale and rent of school 724.01, interest on coupon 584.02, harbor receipts of liberty bonds of the $25,275, refund of road labor $6766.05. The sum of $914.00 from the sale of school sum of $42,362.05 as per interest on these bonds. Fines collected by brary amounted to $28. An item of $17,194 sale of cement sacks.

Brock, county horticultural commissioner, sounded a warning in connection with a number of sprays now being widely exploited throughout Orange county. "Solicitors for certain sprays are making extravagant claims for their products," said Brock, "but this is not the worst feature of the campaign. "Many of the salesmen, handling new sprays, tell the ranchers that their sprays have the endorsement or the county horticultural commissioner." "This is far from the truth. It is a fact, of course; that there is a place for certain sprays, but this office does not make a practice of issuing recommendations. "As a matter of fact, we feel that fumigation is the only remedy for black and purple scale, in most cases, and we certainly are not advising growers to use sprays. "There is a field for the firstclass spray in very young orchards and groves, of course, but when the salesmen for the sprays tell the ranchers we are advocating the spray as against fumigation, they are uttering untruths. "Not all the representatives of the spray companies are stooping to these tactics, of course, but the reports we receive from the field indicate that a number of salesmen are resorting to deliberate misrepresentations. "We would advise ranchers of the county to get in touch with the commissioner's office when in doubt about such problems. We will be glad to send inspectors to examine the trees and give advice." AHEIM GAZETY Anaheim, California, Thursday, September 7, 1922 COUNTY FINANCE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SURPLUS FOR YEAR OF MORE THAN MILLION AND A HALF IN THE TREASURY County Auditor Jerome’s Annual Report Now in Hands of Printer—Collections and Balance on Hand, $6,788,000; Disbursements, Five and a Half Millions—Report Shows an Extremely Low Percentage of Delinquent During the Year. According to the annual report just issued by County Auditor W. C. Jerome, which is now being printed for circulation, the county has paid all its obligations during the fiscal year, and there is a surplus of more than a million and a half in the hands of Treasurer Joplin. This is an excellent showing, considering that the assessed valuations in the county are very conservative, and the tax levy is one of the highest in the county. ANAHEIM ELKS WIN FAST BALL GAME Defeat Pasadena on the Vernon Grounds Sunday Afternoon Several hundred fans accompanied the Anaheim Elks’ ball team to Vernon Sunday and rooted for the locals in the first game with Pasadena for the championship of southern California. They rooted to some purpose, too. The game was a fast one, the score standing 5 to 5 at the close of the ninth chapter, but in the tenth Anaheim annexed another tally and won the game. Next Sunday the two teams will play again on the same grounds, and should Pasadena win a third game will be necessary to determine the championship. The winner in the three game series will play the champions of the north at the state convention of the Elks to be held in Santa Monica in October. This will be a great game, as all the Elks in California will witness it and root for their respective champions. Sacramento and Modesto are running neck and neck for the central league pennant. The next game will settle the dispute between them and the winner will play Alameda for the northern pennant. Either Alameda, Sacramento or Modesto will represent the north in the battle at Santa Monica for the state championship. C. OF C.

The disbursements totalled $5,236,000, leaving a balance to the good of a little over a million and a half. The report shows that the delinquents at the close of the fiscal year were unusually small.

The sum of $914,000 was received from the sale of school bonds and the sum of $42,362.05 as premiums and interest on these bonds. Fines collected by the county library amounted to $22.31. An item of $17,194 represents the sale of cement sacks. Another item of $30 represents a donation from a conscientious official, Justice of the Peace D. D. Whitten, of Laguna Beach. Having been out of the county for three months of the year, Justice Whitten declined to accept his salary for that period.

Late Friday afternoon Mrs. McAulay was preparing to can some figs and had the syrup boiling on the gas heater. The weather was hot and Little Jay filled one of the wash tubs with water and was enjoying a cool bath. One of the other McAulay children was teasing him when he jumped from the tub and while romping around he struck the handle of the pan in which the syrup was boiling, upsetting the pan, resulting in the hot syrup scalding his back and arms. Mrs. McAulay summoned a physician immediately, but before he could arrive the mother administered temporary aid in an effort to ease the frightful pain caused by the boiling syrup. The flesh on parts of his back was almost cooked, causing much alarm to the parents. However, the physician states that the boy will recover unless some unforeseen complications set in, which is not anticipated. Fortunately, the little fellow was without clothing at the time or the burns would have been more severe. He is reported resting easy and is al- The committee on committees of the Chamber of Commerce met Thursday morning for the purpose of choosing the various standing committees for the coming year.

It was a narrow escape from what might have been a real tragedy. UP TO TRUSTEES The question of handling its problem of school attendance of Mexican children during the walnut picking season is strictly up to the trustees of each school district that has the problem. After considering the advisability of passing a general order for all the districts, the county board of education decided that the matter had best be left to the individual boards to determine what should be done. This is a regular school problem—as regular as the coming of September. Mexican parents want their children to help pick walnuts. It is a season when the family gathers in coin to pay its bills and lay in a supply of shoes and clothing. The school authorities recognize the advisability of letting the children work in the walnuts, and as a rule, in this county, have endeavored to meet the situation in the best way possible. For years, San Juan Capistrano opened school in August and closed completely during the walnut harvest. This year the mission school proposes to open school earl yin the morning and close at noon, which will give the children a half-day in the orchards. Elicholtz, chairman; H. I. Horn; H. A.

"The state law requires a district to hold school 160 days a year," declared County School Superintendent R.P.Mitchell, and a school day must be at least 200 minutes in duration. The county school board considered the advisability of making a county-wide rule to compel the half-day method of attendance. It developed, however, that some districts preferred to handle the matter otherwise, and no rule for the entire county was passed. Delhi school district will meet the problem by not opening school until late in October. Mitchell said that practically all of the schools of the county will begin the fall session on September 11."

Their rejoicing is great. How fine to have everybody satisfied. If these winners in the primaries are anti-Harding, as alleged, then the anti-Harding people, if there are any, must be satisfied. The Harding people assert their intention of earnestly supporting these nominees, and, on top of all that, we have the Democrats pleased over the nominations. It would seem that a Democratic nominee will have slim chance in the November elections—with everybody satisfied with Republican candidates. INVENTOR HAS MACHINE TO STAMP ORANGES Tests Given It at Villa Park Packing House The names of Orange county towns on the breakfast tables of the nation—that is the vision of the orange packers in this section.

GressOrange Show— Tests Given It at Villa Park Packing House The names of Orange county towns on the breakfast tables of the nation —that is the vision of the orange packers in this section. Dreams were conjured and a start made toward their realization at Villa Park, where a newly patented printing machine stamps the words "Villa Park," or what town it may be, on the fruit to be shipped broadcast, at the rate of 30,000 per hour. The inventor, F. J. Sevigne, of Florida, Friday demonstrated his machine at the Villa Park Orchards packing house, where the California Fruit Growers' exchange is conducting tests of its practicability. If the machine is found to be successful, as officials are confident it will be, similar apparatus will be installed in every plant in the state. Sevigne's machine prints on one side of the orange, the Sunkist trade mark, and on the other, the name of the packing house and locality. The impression is made in indtlible ink, of especial composition, and will remain on the fruit until it is consumed. "Wrappers, with inscriptions printed thereon, are good, as far as they go," declared one packing house official. "The trouble is, they go only as far as the grocer, who removes them to display the fruit. "Often the purchaser does not know what brand of fruit he is buying, the wrapper fails almost entirely as an advertising medium. I have known of instances where the purchaser bought California fruit under the impression that he was buying Florida citrus. "Think of the advantage and the advertising to southern California and to the various towns," the same man declared. "When the consumer sits down to his breakfast, he is confronted by the brand name on the orange. He won't forget it, and he can't be fooled on the brand." The speed with which the machine works, and the surety with which it is said to imprint the marks, is said to be convincing officials of its adaptability, and it is understood that the installation of many machines is but a matter of a short time. Villa Park was chosen as a test place for the machine, because no frozen oranges are to be found there, it is said. Who will take Capt. J. F. Ahlborn's place as postmaster at Anaheim, is a question now being frequently asked, as the date for Mr. Ahlborn to hand over the job to his successor is very near. Shortly after the inauguration of President Harding applications for the various postoffices in the county were considered by the Republican central committee, but it was decided by the committee that no recommendations would be made until the expirations of the terms of the Democrats holding the jobs. Mr. Ahlborn's term expires some time this month. Believing in the slogan of the great leader of his party in former days, Andrew Jackson, that to the victors belong the spoils, the captain stands ready to hand over the reins as soon as his successor is qualified. The central committee meets at Santa Ana next Tuesday, members from the third supervisor district elect ed at the recent primary being J. S. Howard, Earl C. Dutton,R. T. Davies, W. M. Irvin and Albert Launer. One of the duties of the committee will be to recommend to Congressman Swing one of the applicants for the position in this city, and also the other cities in the county where appointment has not yet been made. Five men have filed application for the appointment here, Frank Tausch being the latest to shy his hat into the ring. The others who have signified their willingness to serve the people in this capacity are J. H. Whitaker, V. W. La Mont, Ernest Hedges and H. C. Sampson-Mr. Sampson has been put forward by the American Legion, and was prevailed upon by the members of the post to file his application several months ago. Ernest Hedges is an employee of the postoffice now. He came here a couple of years ago from Omaha, where he served several years in the postoffice. Whitaker was formerly secretary of the board of trade, and has for many years been prominent in the Republican ranks. La Mont is now proprietor of the Colonial apartments, being one of the city's best active business men, while Frank Tausch has been serving as secretary of the Merchants' association and is engaged in the real estate and insurance business. These candidates are all good citizens, capable men and sound Republicans, and the appointment of either would undoubtedly prove satisfactory The speed with which the machine works, and the surety with which it is said to imprint the marks, is said to be convincing officials of its adaptability, and it is understood that the installation of many machines is but a matter of a short time. Villa Park was chosen as a test place for the machine, because no frozen oranges are to be found there, it is said. CONSERVATION COMMITTEE Steps to conserve Orange county's water supply, commencing with an inventory of resources, has been taken by the board of supervisors with the appointment of an advisory committee to assist in conducting a county-wide survey of conditions. Five prominent conservationists were named on the committee, which was selected late Thursday as follows: J. Frederick Ahlborn, Anaheim; H. Hale, Placentia; John Dunstan, Tustin; -Harry W. Lewis, Santa Ana, and Charles M. Hollingshead, Anaheim. While a definite program remains to be mapped out, the committee's purpose was outlined in a general way by the resolution calling for their appointment "as an advisory committee to co-operate with the board of supervisors in the matter of investigations, having for their object the conservation of water for the use of the people of Orange county." It is expected that the committee will seek to formulate plans for procedure, based upon the proposed study of available resources. Such plans, according to a member of the board, will be submitted to the board of supervisors, and, if deemed feasible and financial standpoint, will doubtless result in official action upon a conservation program. These candidates are all good citizens, capable men and sound Republicans, and the appointment of either would undoubtedly prove satisfactory to the patrons of the office, but it is believed they must all submit to an examination, although none has yet been ordered. The postal department in that event, will submit the names of the three highest in the examination to the central committee, and that body will recommend one of the three to Congressmen Swing. In case an examination is ordered it will be some weeks probably before the committee makes a choice, and in that event Capt. Ahlborn will be compelled to hold on after the expiration of his term. It is probable that no steps will be taken toward the appointment of a postmaster until a vacancy occurs in the office. Capt. Ahlborn's term expires on the 23rd of this month, and it is stated he will tender his resignation effective on that date. On receipt of his resignation a vacancy will be declared and an order for examination of candidates will be issued. The salary of the Anaheim postmaster is now $3200 per year. It was considerably smaller than this when Mr. Ahlborn took charge of the office eight years ago, and it undoubtedly will continue to increase during the term of his successor. The second trial of Walter Hodges, charged with embezzling a car from the Golden State Motor company, began in the superior court Tuesday.
