Hundreds of canines lost their lives while it was in operation, and many owners had their dogs vaccinated. C. A. Gross, arrested on a charge of having a bottle of booze in his pocket, was sentenced by Judge Warner, of Huntington Beach, to six months in the county jail. That little bottle of hootch will cost the taxpayers of the county a considerable sum, as they will be compelled to pay Gross's board for half a year. E. E. Beasley, of Fullerton, has purchased the Ruhman property on North Los Angeles street, between Chartres and Cypress, paying $70,000 for it. It has a frontage of 242 feet and includes the Pacific Implement company building and the Ruhman residence. Mr. Beasley, it is understood will put up a large business block on the property. Mrs. Isobel Fraser Chamberlain, of Pebble Beach, near Santa Cruz, arrived here Sunday on a visit to her windows of the First National and American Savings banks are attracting considerable attention, and the displays may lead to good results. They advertise to passers-by the importance of saving their small change and starting bank accounts, which will eventually grow into sums of considerable size. This is only the beginning of the displays which will be arranged by Miss Ethel Adams, an expert window dresser. Work on the $50,000 plant of the Orange Belt Oil Refining company at McPherson, got under way this week when workmen began excavations for the various buildings connected with the enterprise. The three-acre site has been cleared off and hauling of plant equipment to the scene started. The plant, it was stated, will be completed for operation in forty-five days. H. E. Honer of Los Angeles, formerly technical director of the Union Oil company, is in charge of construction work. The company plans to operate a string of service stations throughout the southland after production gets well under way. Opening of a new subdivision on the southeast corner of Glassell street and Collins avenue, Orange, was indicated when F. H. Houck and B. Hartfield, both of Anaheim, announced that they had purchased from O. M. Rodieck, ten acres in block E, of the A. B. Chapman tract. The purchasers have announced their intention of cutting the acreage into city lots. It is located near the Orange union high school, and is said to be ideally situated for a subdivision. It is reported the consideration for the tract was $38,000. It is understood subdivision work will proceed at once with plans that provide for improvements of a high character. A mass meeting of the labor unions clearly establishes commensurate documentation required by the federal government to take a project forward.

Mrs. Isobel Fraser Chamberlain, of Pebble Beach, near Santa Cruz, arrived here Sunday on a visit to her brother, Malcolm Fraser, and his family. Mrs. Chamberlain has for a number of years been engaged in writing for newspapers and magazines. She is now engaged in writing a book, having collected material for it while touring the Holy Land. City Recorder French, of Fullerton, fined the city $5 some days ago because the municipality maintained a dilapidated auto that made an unseculty noise in violation of one of the ordinances. The city paid the fine and as the money was turned back into the treasury it is difficult to determine who gained or lost by the transaction. Patrolman Bert Moody will hereafter act as desk sergeant at police headquarters. Moody has been on the force for a number of years, and has proven himself an efficient and wide-awake officer. Hereafter he will keep the records and collect license fees. His appointment by Chief Steadman was confirmed by the police commissioners. The Dominican sisters, owners of St. Catherine's school, have petitioned the superior court for permission to sell the ten-acre orange grove on Palm street, north of the school, to Stephen Klistler, E. E. Brus, and A. H. Rothaermal, who are subdividing it and putting it on the market under the name of St. Catherine's tract. The price paid the sisters for the land is $75,000 or $7500 an acre, which is considered a record price for acreage in this region. Owing to the niggardly appropriation made by congress for the postoffice department, business in nearly all the postoffices will be hampered. In Anaheim only one delivery of mail in the residence districts will be made, and in the business districts one delivery less is being made. Anheim needs two carriers. A mass meeting of the labor unions of Orange county will be held at the Helena street tabernacle on Monday, April 2. The object is to bring about a better understanding between owners of business institutions and labor. Among the speakers listed for the meeting are Rev. L. L. Meyer and Rev. A. G. H. Bode, of Anaheim; Rev. E. J. Statom, of Fullerton; Fred W. Jackson, of Long Beach; Walter J. Yarrow, representing the oil workers; A. P. Nelson district attorney; Judge J. B.

The required examination was made by the district engineer, and his report thereon is favorable to the extent of recommending a survey to determine the coast and advisability of the improvement. In accordance with law, the report has been referred to the board of engineers for rivers and harbors for consideration and recommendation. From the information presented, the board is not convinced of the advisability of the United States undertaking any improvement at this locality at the present time for the following reasons: The improvements undertaken through the enterprise of the city and county have resulted in obtaining navigable depths into and through the harbor. Thus far, however, no material commerce has resulted. Until the general public utility of a harbor in this locality has been more ANAHEIM GAZETTE NATIONAL share at the end and results.

All parties interested in the proposed improvement are invited to submit within a period of thirty days from the date of this notice, statements and arguments bearing upon the necessity for the improvement in the interests of commerce and navigation. Such statements should be addressed to "The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, Room 2713, Munitions Building, Washington, D. C." Should a hearing be desired this can be arranged by correspondence with the board. TO EXPEDITE ACTION To expedite and assure action on complaints, involving alleged violations of the corporate securities act, and also to comply with a recent ruling by the attorney-general, the state corporation department hereafter will require that all complaints involving companies, brokers, agents or others must be sworn to. This announcement was made by Commissioner of Corporations Edwin M. Daugherty. Complaints and charges must be prepared and executed in triplicate by the complaining parties, before proceedings will be taken against brokers agents, companies or others. The corporation department will furnish printed forms of complaint for use wherever desired. As an outline of what such complaints should show, the commissioner has indicated the following: If the complaint is against a broker or agent, it should show that the person complained against is of bad business repute; that he has violated some provision of the corporate security act, or that he has engaged in or is about to engage in a fraudulent for the commissioners to require a higher standard of fumigation. Appearance of the dreaded citrus white fly was made here a short time ago, but deputies under A. A. Brock, horticultural commissioner, found the infested plant, which was shipped from New Orleans, and destroyed it, with the thousands of larvae found on it. The plant was also infected with the Florida red scale. Had the red scale been distributed among the groves it would have required additional treatment for control, as in Florida it has been one of the worst insect pests since 1880. Apprehending of these two dangerous pests shows the value of the inspection work being carried on by the department, according to Mr. Brock. During February the commissioner and his deputies inspected 24,250 ornamental trees, 14 citrus trees, 10,054 deciduous trees, 12,879 berry plants, 4415 grapes, 39,000 seedlings, 4415 cuttings 2184 packages of seed, 4615 sacks of potatoes, 1156 miscellaneous plants and 750 sacks of bran, all coming into the country. Seventeen shipments of household goods were also inspected. Of shippings from the county the inspectors report the following: 117 ornamental trees, 568 berry plants, 2055 miscellaneous plants, 800 grapefruit trees, 2213 orange trees; 775 grapes, and 2743 deciduous trees. The following shipments were rejected by the inspectors: One shipment of wild olive infested with citrus white fly and Florida red scale, 13 shipments infested with crown gall and 2573 grape vines either for treatment or no seal attached. In his monthly report to the supervisors Mr. Brock said: "We have vacuum fumigated 4648 citrus trees this month. This method of fumigation seems to be the best known treatment for the control of scale pests and we believe trees fumigated in this way will insure the FIGHTING TOMATO BLIGHT With market gardeners of Orange county and southern California facing a serious condition in the growing of tomatoes due to the rapid spread and increase of western blight, the problem ha been brought to the attention of Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg, who is co-operating with the United States department of agriculture in the establishing of test plots to seek ways to combat the plant disease. Test plots on various types of soils and under various conditions have been established in the Atwood and Richfield sections and on the Irvine ranch, Mr. Wahlberg stated. The California vegetable union is co-operating with the farm advisor in the work and he is also being assisted by the United States department of agriculture in his investigational work. Tomato nematode test plots have also been put in near Talbert under the direction of Mr. Wahlberg with the co-operation of Clyde Plavan. The development of these plots is being watched with interest by market gardeners throughout the county. Test plots to find methods of combating the nematode in pickle cucumbers have been established by the farm advisor in the Garden Grove district. The nematode condition is worse in sandy soils, the farm advisor explained and the work in th test plots in the Garden Grove district is being watched with interest by market gardeners in all sections. The use of chemicals to combat the nematode is being tried in the Garden Grove test plots for pickle cucumbers and in the Talbert tomato test plots. The co-operation of the Heinz pickle factories, which operate extensive leases in the Garden Grove section raising pickles for use in the plants, has bee nassured and the manager of the cucumber plots is co-operating with Mr. Wahlberg in the PROF. VAILE TALKS AT FARM BUREAU MEETING W. C. Mauerhan Reports Water Level is High in Wells Prof. Valle, of the Riverside experiment station addressed a well attended meeting of the farm bureau Tuesday night. Prof. Valle has been gathering data on management and product of many of the older citrus groves in southern California. Before long he will begin collecting information in Orange county. An interesting item that the survey revealed was the fact the orchards that received three hundred pounds of nitrogen in fertilizers per year gave the greatest production of fruit. Prof. Valle advised the application of ten tons of bulky organic manure per acre to supply part of this nitrogen, and the application of commercial fertilizer for the remainder. Mr. Brock spoke on the control of citrus insect pests. He reported that the achycus after two years of good work against the black scalye in Ventura county, has been greatly reduced in numbers and effectiveness by INTERNATIONAL COURT The manner in which President Harding submitted tothe senate the question of American participation in the international court illustrates the difference between the Harding and the Wilson ideas of governmental procedure. Wilson wove the league of nations covenant into the peace treaty with an avowed determination to force the senate to accept it regardless of its opinions. He tried to bulldoze the senate by calling names. President Harding believes the United States should lend its support to the world court, but he is not trying to coerce the senate. He submitted the question late in the session, when it was manifestly impossible to take action before adjournment. Thus the matter was placed officially before the senate and the country, and will be thoroughly discussed through the press and on the lecture platform this summer. There are two sides to the question. President Harding and Secretary Hurhes have presented the matter from the view-point of those who favor American adhesion to the international court protocol. Briefly stated, the argument is that it has long been the policy of the United States to adjust disputes according to law and by arbitration and that a court has set up which we should encourage other nations to utilize and which we should utilize ourselves when occasion offers. Our participation in the court would be limited to such cases as we may specifically agree to submit, and would not legally involve us in the league of nations. Opposing arguments are readily apparent. The judges of the court are chosen by the league of nations, and even if we have a voice in the selection of judges, we could hope to elect not more than one of the eleven judges.

With the fumigation season at a close, growers are looking forward to the next season when the new county ordinance, which is effective April 1, will be in effect giving the horticultural commissioner and his deputies more power in the control of fumigation and other pest control work of the county. The new ordinance, which has had its final action by the board of supervisors Tuesday, will make it possible Repeal of some federal taxes and reduction of others, thus lessening the tax burden about one billion dollars annually.

Enactment of the maternity law which is expected to result in saving the lives of 30,900 infants annually. Enactment of legislation controlling speculation in grain. Market value of Liberty bonds brought approximately to par. Defeit in the postoffice department reduced fifty per cent. Outh participation in the court would be limited to such cases as we may specifically agree to submit, and would not legally involve us in the league of nations. Opposing arguments are readily apparent. The judges of the court are chosen by the league of nations, and even if we have a voice in the selection of judges, we could hope to elect not more than one of the eleven judges. A great majority of the court would be made up of representatives of nations whose interests are antagonistic to ours, and who would depend upon the league of nations for re-election. Although we might not be technically and legally bound to submit any particular dispute tothe court, yet if we adhere to the protocol and another nation with which we have a dispute earnestly desired to submit the same to the court, we could not well refuse, even though we felt that we would find ourselves subject to the charge of bad faith if we refused, and our antagonist would be able to gain the support of public opinion among other nations by reason of our refusal. A nation with which we had a controversy, could, with good grace refuse to submit the issue to any tribunal other than the international court. For all practical purposes, therefore, adhesion to the protocol would mean that we must submit our international disputes to that tribunal alone. A third argument is that participation in the court would be but a first step leading eventually into membership in the league of nations with its super-state jurisdiction and the inevitable entanglement in European controversies.

Every person interested in the subject should cure from his senator of congressman a copy of the message, in connection with which there is published the letter from Secretary Hughes, with the statute establishing the court, its jurisdiction and procedure. ADVOCATES PEACEFUL METHODS In proposing that the United States shall be represented in the court of international justice, President Harding is doing nothing but advocate peace instead of war. This is not a sensational course. The theory that this country should be in the world and not of it, although backed by vocally earnest individuals, lacks that firm basis constituted of common sense. They seek to map out an impossible course. Their error is so obvious that there appears no reason for attempting to analyze it. The people of America form a part of civilization. It is not to be conceived of that their government, the strongest in existence could function alone, and unconcerned as to the welfare and conduct of the rest. Interests are interwoven too closely to be ignored. Differences arise between nations. Under the present system they fight over them. The stronger wins. It is pleasing to believe that right makes might. To a certain extent it does. Nevertheless, had not the United States intervened at a critical time, right would have been crushed by a might that was entirely wrong. Relying upon arms to settle disputes does not invariably serve the purposes of justice. Neither does it lead to permanent adjustment. It engenders hafes that may smoulder for a generation, and then flame out in the effort to be revenged. Individuals, and groups of individuals embracing less than a nation, resort to the courts. There they present their evidence, and they must abide by the verdict. The wisdom of such procedure does not need defense.
