FIVE ARE GRANTED CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS Each proudly carrying a United States flag and with the well wishes of the Daughters of the American Revolution ringing in their ears, five newly-made American citizens left the court house Monday, determined to live up to the high ideals of the country to which they had sworn allegiance. Six candidates for citizenship appeared before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams, with F. E. Anderson, of Los Angeles, federal naturalization examiner, in charge of the oral tests. Of the six, five were granted citizenship. The sixth, George Jackson, of Anaheim, passed an excellent examination, but owing to the absence of one of his witnesses final papers were withheld. Samuel Shortridge figured in an absent way. The examiner asked, "Who are the United States senators from this state?" One of the applicants spoke up, "Johnson and Beveridge." "You are more than half right," said Anderson. "Johnson is one and there is a ridge' in the other." Even this tip failed to work. It remained for Jackson of Anaheim, to give the correct answer, and he, too, broke a deadlock on who is chief justice of the supreme court of the United States. The examination of the various applicants, however, showed that they had given careful study to the subject of government, and their answers were uniformly intelligent and to the point. The flags, together with a booklet, were presented by a committee of the D. A. R., Mrs. L. G. Swales, Mrs. Minnie Holmes, Miss Helen Lamson. The five who became citizens were Reinhold G. Schellens, o Anaheim, native of Germany; August C. Roeds.

COUNTY SHOULD GROW GRAPES That Orange county is capable of producing grapes comparable with the best in the world was stated by Professor Frederick Bioletti, of the University of California, vine culture expert, at the meeting of the Costa Mesa farm center Friday night. "Grapes grown here cannot expect to compete on a commercial scale with grapes of the valley regions, but there is no reason why excellent grapes for local consumption cannot be grown in Orange county," said the professor. By local consumption he meant for the Santa Ana, Los Angeles and San Diego markets. He pointed out that mildew, the only serious draw back to development or vine culture in the county, could easily be controlled by proper sulphuring methods. Earlier in the day Prof. Bioletti conducted demonstrations for grape raisers in different parts of the county. MUST ISCONTINUE ACCEPTING OLD CARS Bankers of the County Give Advice to Auto Dealers Bankers of the county having convinced them that their used car problems would never be completely solved until they discontinued accepting old cars as part payment on new cars, the members of the motor dealers' craft of the Orange Cohnty Automobile Trades' association plan shortly to institute a new policy. Joe Stout, chairman of the craft, announced that he had had a successful trial. THE GRAND JURY REPORT What is probably the shortest grand jury report on record in this county—at least, the shortest in many years—was filed with the superior court Monday. But while the report is short, none need conclude that the grand jury has not done its work thoroughly, for it has. Those who know anything about the work of the grand jury know that its members went into the business of the county in a business-like manner. Its attitude in entering upon its work several weeks ago seemed to be to secure a correction of anything that needed correction rather than to open up a bitter fire upon those who for any reason may have been responsible for the situation. The routine of the grand jury was attended to with dispatch, and good judgment was exercised in the various investigations that were entered into. Frequently, a grand jury can be stampeded into making investigations that ought by all means to be left entirely in the hands of the district attorney. There was a time when the grand jury was the investigator into criminal matters. While it continues in this state to have that power of investigation, it is used infrequently. However, the power is there to be used in case it appears that any district attorney has failed to do his duty in investigating and prosecuting. In this county there has been no occasion to doubt the sincerity of the district attorney in handling criminal cases, and for that reason the grand jury has been called on largely to make a general survey of conditions in the county business and to condemn or approve as it sees fit.

Joe Stout, chairman of the craft, announced that he had appointed a committee, consisting of Bob White, Anaheim; J. S. McCarthy, Santa Ana; and W. J. Wickersheim, Fullerton, to formulate several different and tentative plans for handling used cars. Those plans will be presented at a special meeting of the craft to be held at the Elks' club, Anaheim, Friday night. Authorization to select this committee was given to Stout in Santa Ana Thursday night when the craft division of the county trades' association met. One of the bankers at that meeting was emphatic in declaring that cessation of the practice of accepting old cars in part payment for new cars was the only method by which the used-car problem could be entirely solved. He declared that the dealer was between the devil and the deep blue sea. He pointed out that the distributor was "pounding the dealer on the back" to take all the new cars he possibly could, while the owners of used cars were pounding him likewise to take in the old "boats" at the highest price possible. Bankers from Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana discussed with the agents possible plans under which the bugaboo of automobile merchandising might be eliminated at least, to some extent. Horace Benjamin, of However, the power is there to be used in case it appears that any district attorney has failed to do his duty in investigating and prosecuting. In this county there has been no occasion to doubt the sincerity of the district attorney in handling criminal cases, and for that reason the grand jury has been called on largely to make a general survey of conditions in the county business and to condemn or approve as it sees fit. The grand jury that ended its sessions Monday found occasion to give its hearty approval to the county's system of road superintendency. Under that system a central organization for the entire county, a complete system of accounting and management, is maintained. This system was instituted in this county in place of the old-time road boss system in which methods of accounting were necessary. Loose. The maintenance of scores of miles of paved roads made it advisable to establish the county-wide system of road management. In its report, the grand jury covered many departments. What the grand jury had to say, it said briefly and to the point, and while the report was short, the grand jury evidently made itself plain and said everything it desired to say clearly and forcefully. THE VERSAILLES AWARD In discussing the ability of Great Britain and France to meet their debts to the United States treasury, too little has been said concerning the 930,000 square miles of former German territory in Africa acquired by those countries as spoils of war. One of these territories, Tanganyika, is that part of former German East Africa that was allocated to Great Britain. Its total area is about 365,000 Mining prospectors until June, 1921, but since then, 395 class for prospecting for copper asbestos num, coal, salt and censes have been coal over an area of There are indications but prospecting for mitted at present. developed natural resources no manufactures, so of narrow guage rail groups of our wealth wealth will be fully fore the time set for the British debt to can be depended upon government to meet of that obligation.

The loss of fallen cakes and cooled off oven is eliminated. And the cast iron oven bottom assures perfect results. Come in and see this range. Our prices will surprise you. TAPPAN ECLIPSE GAS RANGE Mining prospecting was prohibited until June, 1921, but, in the one year since then, 395 claims were registered for prospecting for gold, diamonds, silver, copper asbestos, mica molybdenum, coal, salt and soda deposits. Licenses have been granted for mining coal over an area of 950 square miles. There are indications of mineral oils, but prospecting for oil is not permitted at present. Because of the undeveloped natural resources, there are no manufactures, and only 500 miles of narrow guage railways, and 2900 miles of motor roads. It is apparent that Tanganyika is essentially similar to large sections of the United States before they were made available to settlers and development. There is every reason to be lieve that the territory will eventually yield riches comparable to those of groups of our wealthiest states. That wealth will be fully revealed long before the time set for final payment of the British debt to this country, and can be depended upon by the British government to meet a very large share of that obligation.
