He is located at Northam, where he is in the employ of the Santa Fe road. He came to Anaheim with him family in 1872, and went to school in this city. He learned the railroad business and telegraphers' trade at the Southern Pacific station, and is regarded as one of the most efficient railroad men on the coast. His father, the late R. D. Curtis, was for many years tyler of the Masonic lodge, and participated in the exercises of laying the corner stone of the Central grammar school in 1872. George found a number of his old-time friends in this city, but declares old-timers are getting scarce.

Henry Thompson and E. D. Hart were to be arraigned on charges of manufacturing, while F. Lopez was to be charged with possession, according to authorities. Under the leadership of Deputy Sheriff G. E. McClellan and Investigator O. K. Carr, the officers raided the place an abandoned house about a quarter of a mile east of the house occupied by A. R. Lee. Tennesseean, who is facing charges of possession and sale. The still, probably the largest ever seized, was in operation, officers declared, although its owners had evidently made preparations to remove it. About 50 gallons of "sympathetic gin" was also confiscated. The house and premises bore the appearance of a Tennessee "moonshine" joint officers declared. Instead of a faucet, a pipe leading to a trough in the yard was equipped with a beer spigot. GOOD LUCK ALL AROUND A lady of some prominence and musical culture while wandering through the corridors of an office building one day in her town was attracted by the strains of a sweet tenor voice—forgot her mission—listened. She heard the voice take a high C, and she sought the room from which it came and found it to be a music studio; she introduced herself and was introduced in turn to a young man about 18. She asked for a repetition of the aria she had heard in the hallway and his singing entranced her. She offered her assistance financially to this young man and predicted great results under the proper teaching; the young man gratefully accented. After several years' hard study, which included a four year course in Northwestern university, he had a very successful appearance. He continued his studies under sibling masters and finally went before the public professionally. During the past five years he has appeared over 500 times in America, including the largest cities in his tours. WEEKLY PURCHASE PLAN BOON TO FAMILIES It Will Enable Many Persons to Own a Car. "The Ford weekly purchase plan is going to be a boon to many families and permit them to buy a car much quicker than they ever dreamed," George Dunton, local Ford dealer, said in discussing the new plan which is creating such widespread comment, and which is being enthusiastically received everywhere. "In my experience as a Ford dealer, and I believe it is true with every other dealer and salesman as well, I have met many persons who expressed their desire to own a Ford, and who frankly told me that somehow they never could get together enough money to make the initial payment on one. "The result was of course, that they went on wanting a car and hoping that some day something would turn up whereby they could get a car. "Now that 'something' has turned up. The Ford weekly purchase plan simplifies it all and makes it easier to come into the ownership of a car. "It is constructive automobile buying in the simplest and easiest form and presents to countless families all over the country the long wished for opportunity of enjoying motor car benefits and pleasures. "Right here in our own city it will be more than welcome. "Take the family where, say, the father is not the only wage earner, but perhaps a son or a daughter or two are at work. The family never has enjoyed a car, yet every member times without number has expressed a desire to own one. "Under the Ford weekly purchase plan there is no reason at all why such a family should not soon own a Ford car. If each member contributes just a little of his or her earnings each week it will hardly seem any time at all before the whole family will be enjoying a car. "What is true of the family is true also of the individual who wants a car. "And one of the most appealing features of the plan is that it is adaptable to the means of practically every one. The weekly payments, which are growing on farms have provided county.

O. P. PROSPERITY Do you recall how they ding-donged at us that the passage of the tariff law would ruin our export trade and close factories in this country by the score? Well, the tariff law was passed all right, and our export trade has grown every month since. Moreover, American labor is more generally employed today than at any time since the war. Where are the 4,000,000 men who were little when Woodrow Wilson left the presidential chair? These matters are worth pondering and thinking about. The United States is the only country on earth today where prosperity reigns and where men feel secure in their business. It is the only country where government securities are at par. There's a reason. It takes the "nerve" out of a good many men to be sentenced, and yet we often hear of the man who has "the courage of his convictions." LET GARDEN GROVE IN In Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton there is no disposition to refuse to allow Garden Grove to enter into joint use of the outfall sewer now being built. Not only is there no disposition to refuse to let Garden Grove into the project, but there is a decided feeling that Garden Grove ought to take steps to get in and should be given every reasonable opportunity to join with the communities already agreed upon the plan. Garden Grove's problem is not an easy one. Since Garden Grove is not incorporated as a municipality and not organized into a sanitary district, the difficulty of making a contract is apparent. The law makes it necessary that a community be an organized unit before the other municipalities can sign a contract with the community. At the rate that Garden Grove is growing, the necessity of having some adequate method of sewage disposal plan there is no reason at all why such a family should not soon own a Ford car. If each member contributes just a little of his or her earnings each week it will hardly seem any time at all before the whole family will be enjoying a car. “What is true of the family is true also of the individual who wants a car.” And one of the most appealing features of the plan is that it is adaptable to the means of practically every one. The weekly payments, which are deposited to the credit of the customer in the bank and draw interest at the regular savings rates, may be fixed to suit the desires of each purchaser.

Sewer farms have proven unpopular in this county. They have been a source of difficulties and annoyance. While it is true that septic tanks if properly cared for solve most of the difficulties of sewage disposal, experience has shown that our cities are in the habit among growing things, as it keeps sound at an age, scientists have found, as long as the Christian era. The redwood is found only in California, and chiefly along the northern half of the coast. At the lower end of this belt, there is the famous Felton grove in the Santa Cruz mountains, containing trees that are equaled in girth only by the sequolas of the Sierra. But great stretches of redwood forest are found in Humboldt, Del Norte and Mendocino counties. Fortunately for California, the redwood is a tree of great vitality. Its bark and wood are singularly free from the pitch and resin that render the fir and pine such easy prey to forest fires. Redwood forests require protection like other forests, not only in planting and protecting young trees, but in guarding against fires, usually resulting from the carelessness of campers, which kill the new growth. The redwood belt along the coil and foggy but temperate coast from San Francisco to the Oregon line comprises, according to government estimates, some 1,360,000 acres. On 900,000 of these acres, the forests are untouched by the ax of man. The roads of the lumbermen are far from being as extensive as certain sentimentalists have charged. But the forests of the eastern and middle western states are falling fast and no longer supply home needs. California lumber is shipped to the orient, South America and to other corners of the world. Thus there is a likelihood of a concerted demand by all countries on the wooded resources of the Pacific states. But the California Redwood association and all official and unofficial agencies interested in forestry are uniting with a view to stopping wastage and wanton destruction in order to preserve one of the world's greatest and noblest natural assets. al conferences will be for the purpose of extending the principles of the Washington naval disarmament pact to all of the other nations of the world. The conference will not be held until after the conference of the Pan-American union, at Santiago, this month, so that the league can co-ordinate its work as much as possible with that of the Pan-American union. Still another conference which the league will hold this year in the interests of peace is for suppressing the private manufacture of war material and the international traffic therein. The United States will be asked either to participate in the conference or else signify how far she would be willing to go along with the rest of the world in solving this end of the problem. While the participation of Germany would ordinarily have also been an important element in the solution of the problem, the prohibition under the Versailles treaty of the manufacture of war material does not make her participation so important. Nevertheless she will be invited to take part in the conference. The league has also fixed October 15 as the date for an international custom conference to see what can be done about breaking down customs barriers that are now proving most serious obstacles to the resumption of international trade and commerce. All states, whether members of the league or not, will be invited to participate. The league will also hold during the year its second international conference on communications and transit at Genoa. The first one was held at Barcelona two years ago and the second will tackle a number of new questions such as providing a common sanitary regime for international waterways. As a result of the "new map of Europe," a number of big rivers which were previously largely domestic in is growing more pressing. Sewer farms have proven unpopular in this county. They have been a source of difficulties and annoyance. While it is true that septic tanks if properly cared for solve most of the difficulties of sewage disposal, experience has shown that our cities are in the habit of growing faster than their septic tank systems, and the septic tank method has not been a satisfactory method at all times. It is to the interest of all the cities of the county that there be no sewer farms, that the sewage be conducted to the seas. A large sewage treatment plant is a part of the joint project. To it, the sewage from the interior cities of the county will be conducted, and from it the sewage will be taken to the ocean in the big outfall now being built. There is nothing that Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton can do to help Garden Grove in the matter. All these cities can do is to give Garden Grove the assurance that Garden Grove will be welcomed into the project. This union of effort of the various communities concerned has done a great deal to break down sectional feeling. More than anything else, the outfall sewer project has shown the residents of the cities concerned that we are a part of one county and that our interests are very much the same in all the cities. Some day these cities may join in a water development plan. TAKING ACTIVE PART IN FOREST PROTECTION The California Redwood association is taking an active and important part in forest protection week, which began Monday, April 23, by proclamation of President Harding. During the week its members will join with federal and state foresters and with professors, teachers and civic leaders in bringing to the notice of schools, clubs and other bodies the dangers that threaten the great wooded assets of California, and urging measures tending to reduce timber losses by fire and to stop the wastage resulting from the ruthless kind of lumbering that characterized pioneer times. Thus the redwood lumbermen, it is pointed out, are setting an example to land owners in promoting the reforesse America and to other corners of the world. Thus there is a likelihood of a concerted demand by all countries on the wooded resources of the Pacific states. But the California Redwood association and all official and unofficial agencies interested in forestry are uniting with a view to stopping wastage and wanton destruction in order to preserve one of the world's greatest and noblest natural assets. PROBING OIL FAKES With a Los Angeles county grand jury inquiry scheduled to begin Friday in connection with the wholesale thefts of oil apparatus in southern California fields, interest heightened in the preliminary hearing of George E. Putnam and L. L. Sissle, president and vice-president, respectively, of the Empire Oil company. Huntington Beach, scheduled to be held before Justice J. B. Cox May 5. It was expected that the investigation to be conducted in Los Angeles, in which at least twenty-five men, high officials in oil companies, might be questioned, might involve Orange county oil fields, since the activities of the asserted robbers were said to have been divided among Long Beach, Huntington Beach and Santa Fe Springs. Although, because of the nature of the thefts, an accurate estimate cannot be made, it was stated that approximately $25,000 worth of pipe, fittings and joints has disappeared mysteriously within the past few months. One of the things that the Los Angeles county grand jury will seek to discover is who bought the pipes after they were stolen. The arrest of the two men awaiting hearing, and about a dozen others, facing similar charges at Long Beach, resulted from an investigation, in which the Los Angeles sheriff's office, Sheriff Sam Jernigan and Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard co-operated. The men were said to have buried quantities of pipe near Costa Mesa, where it was found by Ballard and City Marshal Jack Tinsley, of Huntington Beach, after their arrest. Meanwhile, although the matter came to a head with the arrest of the two men awaiting hearing, officers have continued in their efforts to apprehend 'the men higher up." It was their contention that the thieving is being done by one of the best organized criminal gangs in the state, and when the arrests made fail or not, will be invited to participate. The league will also hold during the year its second international conference on communications and transit at Genoa. The first one was held at Barcelona two years ago and the second will tackle a number of new questions such as providing a common sanitary regime for international waterways. As a result of the "new map of Europe," 'a number of big rivers which were previously largely domestic in their activities, have now become international waterways. The lack of a common sanitary regime in all adjacent states has resulted in their becoming a source for the spread of epidemics. The conference will endeavor to take care of this problem. Finally this conference will have to deal with an international treaty covering railway traffic generally. Finally during the year the league will hold other international conferences having to do largely with humanitarian questions such as the white slave traffic and opium. An effort is also being made to induce the league to summon an international conference on the question of immigration as the restrictions placed on the latter by both North and South America have suddenly caused this question to become one of the greatest possible economic importance. SWING IS FIGHTING THE LEMON IMPORTERS If the lemon importers of New York succeed in killing the tariff on lemons, they will have to pass over Phil Swing's dead body. This was the opinion expressed by E. B. Collier, manager of the Central Lemon Growers' association, which at Villa Park, this county, has the largest lemon house in the world. "Congressman Swing is right on the job." declared Collier in recounting the fact that he has reasons to believe that the importers are hoping to slash the protection from around the American lemon. Recently citrus organizations of southern California began getting questionnaires from the federal tariff commission. The questions that were asked indicated that they had been suggested by men who were unfriendly to the lemon tariff. This information was sent to Congressman Phil D. Swing, who is at his oral and state foresters and with professors, teachers and civic leaders in bringing to the notice of schools, clubs and other bodies the dangers that threaten the great wooded assets of California, and urging measures tending to reduce timber losses by fire and to stop the wastage resulting from the ruthless kind of lumbering that characterized pioneer times. Thus the redwood lumbermen, it is pointed out, are setting an example to land owners in promoting the reforestation of cut-over lands, restoring natural play grounds for the enjoyment of nature lovers in future centuries and preserving for the generations to come one of the world's most beautiful and distinctive woods for domestic use. In proclaiming forest protection week, President Harding emphasized these points: That the "preservation of our forests, federal, state and private, is essential to our industrial and commercial life, to our strength as a nation and to our individual well-being;" and that "forest fires, which are largely the result of carelessness or thoughtlessness, continue to do great damage, threatening to deplete and reduce our forests to the point at which they can no longer serve the nation adequately as a source of timber supply or for watershed protection and recreation." He urged that the week be observed in appropriate exercises and programs and by publishing information pertaining to the importance of forest preservation. The redwood is the peculiar glory of California. It is distinctive among the trees of the world in size, beauty and in its native peculiarities, being the only member of the cone bearing evergreens to sprout anew from the stump. Moreover, its vitality is unique quantities of pipe near Costa Mesa, where it was found by Ballard and City Marshal Jack Tinsley, of Huntington Beach, after their arrest. Meanwhile, although the matter came to a head with the arrest of the two men awaiting hearing, officers have continued in their efforts to apprehend the 'men higher up." It was their contention that the thieving is being done by one of the best organized criminal gangs in the state, and when the arrests made failed to put a stop to the mysterious disappearance of property, they redoubled their efforts. It was understood that Putnam and Sissle would be represented by counsel at the hearing, and that they would fight the case stubbornly. They are at liberty under $5000 bond each, pending their appearance for preliminary examination. ANOTHER EFFORT TO SETTLE WORLD'S TROUBLES During the coming year half a dozen great international conferences will be held under the auspices of the league of nations in the general efforts towards international peace and the improvement of international humanitarian and economic conditions. In full accordance with what is now the recognized role of the league in world affairs, no effort will be made to impose anything on anybody. The conferences will endeavor to work out the best possible solutions of the problems, but when these solutions are finally embodied in international treaties every state will be left free to accept or reject them according to its best interests.

Swing replied that under the provisions of the tariff law as passed by congress, elasticity was given to the schedule. This elasticity is entirely in the hands of President Harding. The president announced that he would not change the tariff except on recommendation of own deposits only four tons of tin, about three one-thousandths of one per cent of the world's output of primary tin in that year, or about one-hundredth of one per cent of the new tin needed in this country.

Swing replied that under the provisions of the tariff law as passed by congress, elasticity was given to the schedule. This elasticity is entirely in the hands of President Harding. The president announced that he would not change the tariff excepting on recommendation of the tariff commission. The tariff commission, at the time Swing left Washington a month ago, had stated publicly that it had not yet decided whether it would of its own accord enter into an investigation of a tariff or make an investigation only on the petition of individuals or organizations. Possibly the latter policy has been adopted. Swing forthwith dispatched a message to Washington seeking inside information concerning the situation, and upon securing a reply he will immediately notify the lemon growers of southern California through their tariff league, the Citrus Protective league of the situation. It seems likely that the lemon men will have to go before the tariff commission and make a fight to retain what tariff there now is. "Instead of reducing the tariff on lemons," said Collier, "steps should be taken to raise it. The coming crop of lemons will be the heaviest in the history of the industry in this state. It is ample to supply all needs of this country. An influx of foreign lemons would demoralize the markets." Collier, who presented the situation to Swing, said that the moves of the importers will be watched closely and every effort made to maintain the tariff. THE WORLD'S TIN PRODUCTION The world's production of tin in 1921 was only 109,704 metric tons, the lowest annual output since about 1908 and a decrease of about 16,000 tons from that in 1920, according to information now available in the department of the interior. Of this amount, the United States, the largest user of tin in the world, consuming in 1921 more than a third of all the tin produced in that year, obtained from its own deposits only four tons of tin, about three one-thousandths of one per cent of the world's output of primary tin in that year, or about one-hundredth of one per cent of the new tin needed in this country. The United States is therefore absolutely dependent upon foreign sources of supply for metal that is essential in times of peace and indispensable in times of war.
