ORANGE COUNTY PEOPLE MAY BE QUAKE VICTIMS Friends and relatives at Yorba Linda of Rev. Henry Wylie and family are anxiously awaiting information as to whether the minister and his family escaped the earthquake, fire and tidal wave that wrecked Yokohama. At the same time, friends of Miss Anna Rohde, formerly a community nurse in Santa Ana for the Red Cross, who for some months has been employed in the office of an exporting firm at Yokohama, were much concerned for her safety. Miss Rohde is virtually certain to have been in the Japanese city when the disaster occurred, close friends said. The Yorba Lindans were booked as passengers on the steamer President Lincoln, which was in the harbor at the time of the big disaster. Concern for the saftety of the family was heightened by press dispatches which said that many passengers on the steamer were ashore when the tidal wave struck the harbor. The Rev. Mr. Wylie and his family may have been ashore at the time the city was laid in ruins, it was pointed out. The Rev. Mr. Wylie and his family left about a month ago on their return to Wuhu, China, a day's travel distant from Shanghai, where the Rev. Mr. Wylie is engaged in missionary work. He had been in the state a year studying. rMs. Wylie and their children remained at the home of Mrs. studying. Mrs. Wylie and their chil-Rushnell, of Yorba Linda, while the missionary pursued his studies. The difficulty of getting through between the United States and the orient served to increase the alarm of the family's friends. BEET GROWERS REAP PROFIT FROM RAISE With sugar prices again seeking higher levels and with percentage of which had existed for a generation, gave evidence of flaring into armed conflict. At the suggestion of Presidential friendly services of Secretary Dent Harding and through the person Hughes, they have submitted their long-standing controversy to arbitration. The Central American republics were in a state of unrest. At the invitation of this administration they assembled in Washington, reached friendly undertstandings, agreed to limit their military operations and submit future disputes to arbitration. Disorder prevailed in the republics of Santa Colombia. American experts have been invited by her to assist in straightening out her financial difficulties. As a testimonial to her confidence in the United States under this administration, Brazil invited the American naval commission participate in upbuilding her naval defense. Turning to the old world, when this administration came into power the United States was in a state of war with Germany and other Central Powers. Separate peace treaties were early negotiated with them. Closely following, an international commission was appointed to adjust claims against those powers. One of the most important international accomplishments of the Republican administration is the progress in the settlement of old world debts owed the United States government. Negotiations have been concluded refunding the debt of Great Britain. Adjustment on a like basis has been made with Finland, and negotiations are pending with other countries. As President Harding pointed out in one of his last speeches, this settlement is of far reaching consequence because "it puts a fresh stamp of approval on the sacredness of international obligations" and for the further reason that it proves "the United States will keep faith with its own people who loaned, as they fought, service toward the annual Valentines has reached the al prominence.

Last year at this time the sugar content here was 17.94 per cent. The farmer is paid in accordance with the price of sugar and the sugar content of the beets. An advance in the price of refined sugar was announced by the Federal Sugar and the American Sugar company. They quoted 7.75 cents a pound, an increase of 25 points over the previous price. This announcement was made at the New York headquarters of the companies. In San Francisco, sugar officials representing the California and Hawaiian Sugar Refining corporation, announced that they would increase the wholesale price of refined cane sugar 20 cents per 100 pounds, new price of $8 per 100 pounds, effective immediately. The price of beet sugar, the officials announced, would be advanced to $7.80 per hundred. With 250 employees on the payroll the Santa Ana Sugar company, slicing beets for four of the largest plants in southern California, is now turning out about 4000 sacks of sugar daily. Beets are gathered from 15000 acres of Orange county land and the rancher will receive a substantial payment on account by mid-September. Irrigation, made necessary here by dry weather, will increase production costs somewhat, according to sugar officials. On the whole, however, the ranchers and executives feel that this will prove to be a very satisfactory season. TREATY RATIFIED The final formalities in the ratification of the naval reduction treaty have just taken place. They marked the last step in the work of the Washington armament conference. They funding the debt of Great Britain. Adjustment on a like basis has been made with Finland, and negotiations are pending with other countries. As President Harding pointed out in one of his last speeches, this settlement is of far reaching consequence because "it puts a fresh stamp of approval on the sacredness of international obligations" and for the further reason that it proves "the United States will keep faith with its own people who loaned, as they fought, with faith in the republic." The Versailles treaty parceled out the world arbitrarily, giving certain nations mandates over various territories. It has been the disposition of those nations to attempt to monopolize all valuable rights in mandated sections. One of the outstanding achievements of the present Republican administration has been the insistence upon the maintenance of the "open door" in all such territory. These are all accomplished facts. They are all achievements of the present administration. They bespeak a virility and a statesmanship in the conduct of our foreign relations. They reflect a sturdy Americanism which has always been the glory of our nation. They have been brought about without infringement upon the rights of other nations or other people. In their accomplishment we have grown in respect throughout the world and cemented still more strongly the ties of international friendship. BOY SCOUT NEWS The fourteen eagle scouts and leaders who are touring Yosemite valley are receiving a real inspiration from that trip, (according to a telegram received at the scout office from Victor E. Teaney, who is in charge of the expedition. Teaney reports that the boys have been in the valley since Sunday, arriving about a day late due to trailer trouble. They went by the way of Tloga Pass and report that route was in very fine shape for the trip. The boys have been from the bottom to the top of Half Dome, which rises a sheer 4200 feet from the floor of the valley, and hiked along the edge of Glacier Point, from which overhanging rocks project, and bac kof which the great grove of Mariposa redwoods grow.

They marked the last step in the work of the Washington armament conference. They also served to re-emphasize the fact that world opinion, without exception, concedes that conference to have been the greatest, because the most practical step which has ever been taken toward universal peace. While it is the outstanding achievement of this Republican administration in the field of foreign affairs, it is by no means the only notable accomplishment of the administration in its dealing with other nations and peoples. To the contrary, no administration in the history of the United States has many accomplished facts to its credit in the field of foreign relations as present one. They stand as splendid memorial to the ideals and work of our late president, under whom they were initiated and successfully directed to conclusion. They also testify to the statesmanship of Secretary of State Hughes, under whose personal direction all diplomatic negotiations are carried on. A potential source of grave international trouble, when this administration came into power, was Central and South America. Panama and Costa Rica were about to engage in war. Through the influence of this administration their differences were amicably adjusted. An enmity between Chile and Peru, Tloga Pass and report that route was in very fine shape for the trip.

Teaney reports that they had a nine foot trout for breakfast one morning and expected to have a full mess of fish for dinner Saturday. The truck was due to leave Yosemite early Sunday morning, proceeding by way of Stockton, Santa Cruz and thence down the coast to home. They were due to arrive in Orange county some time Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning of this week. This is one of the many educational trips the local council has planned for its advanced scouts. Last year a group was sent to Sacramento during the state fair, where in all-around scouting they won second place. MANY WANT THE JO B With thirty applications from Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Idaho and many other states for the position of secretary of the Anaheim chamber of commerce, the board of directors have a large field from which to select a secretary to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Malcolm Fraser. That the directors will consider each man carefully with the view of selecting the best available material, was the announcement of President Harry D. IRley. A meeting of the directors will probably be called soon, it is said. Particular attention will be given to the man capable of rendering the best service toward continued success of the annual Valencia orange show that has reached the proportions of national prominence. Mr. Fraser's resignation is effective October 1, or at any earlier date that his successor can be chosen, since he is anxious to take a much needed vacation before deciding on his future plans. He has received several fattering offers but has made no decision. As evidence of the high regard in which the appointment is held is shown in the application of one man in Chicago who claims he was chief campaign manager for Governor Louden of Illinois, in 1820, when Louden was a candidate for president of the United States. RADIO A FORCE FOR AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS That radio's greatest contribution to civilization may lie in its influence upon the life and action of the farm population is the conclusion suggested by an extensive inquiry among farm colleges and agricultural extension services just completed by the Radio Corporation of America. To the city dweller, radio is a valuable medium of obtaining news, information and entertainment, but to the farmer and the farmer's family it is to become a vital necessity of their economic, spiritual and intellectual life if it realizes the possibilities foreseen by the educators who devote themselves to agricultural betterment. These possibilities may be briefly summarized: 1. To deliver the farmer and his family from the sense of isolation which is perhaps the hardest handicap of agricultural life. 2. To broaden their spiritual and religious life. 3. To cope with class and sectional differences and to develop greater national unity as between the farmer share in alleviating the tense southern California oil situation. Finishing touches are being put on the fifth, number thirteen. With the completion of the last harbor oil reservoir the Union will have erected and put into operation in southern California ten reservoirs with a total of 7,500,000 barrels during the past year. Besides those at Wilmington three have already been operating for some months at the company's storage depot at Brea, one at Santa Fe Springs and one at San Luis Obispo. Furthering its efforts to create adequate storage for its growing California output, the company has recently begun construction on three more reservoirs of 750,000 barrel capacity, this bringing the total completed or in process of completion since last fall to thirteen. All of the three latest earthern containers are located at the Stewar tank farm at Brea. NEW STEAMSHIP LINE Citrus growers and others in southern California engaged in the production and distribution of perishable food products; are greatly interested and pleased with the announcement just made by Harry J. Mullen & Co., financial representatives of the California-New York Steamship company, calling attention to the fact that E. L. Goodsell, manager of the New York Fruit Auction company, is a member of the board of directors of the recently established transportation organization, which will shortly place in service seven fast modern steamships equipped with the cold air type of refrigeration to carry perishables from Los Angeles to points on the Atlantic seaboard. Mr. Goodsell, as manager of the New York Fruit Auction company, has handled a greater part of the citrus foreseen by the educators who devote themselves to agricultural betterment. These possibilities may be briefly summarized: 1. To deliver the farmer and his family from the sense of isolation which is perhaps the hardest handicap of agricultural life. 2. To broaden their spiritual and religious life. 3. To cope with class and sectional differences and to develop greater national unity as between the farmer and other elements of our citizenship. 4. To make possible a system of agricultural education through the radio extension work of the agricultural colleges which will be open to all of the 39,000,000 Americans who live on farms. 5. To aid in keeping the boys and girls on the farm, thus preserving for agricultural development the energies of the thousands of ambitious young men who every year are drawn away to urban pursuits. 6. To become one of the most effective elements in the business equipment of the farm, comparable to the tractor. The feeling that radio will give freer play to every force that is operating today for farm betterment has fired the imagination of the farm colleges and extension services. Eager suggestions are made for application of radio to farm problems. A western professor suggests that a radio wave length be allocated to the farmer for his exclusive use. Another foresees the possibility that the radio transmission of power may in time be used to operate the farmer's tractor. The head of a department of land clearing in an important western university regards radio as one of the greatest factors yet developed to keep the most desirable class of young people on the farm. "I feel," he adds "that in my own case, had there been tractors, autos and radio on the farm when I was a boy, I would still be on the farm today." From Michigan the opinion comes that "radio should prove of more value and interest to the farmer than to any other class of people except ocean travellers." This educator epitomizes his thought in the following: "Radio can be made to reduce the disadvantages of isolation, furnish entertainment information and news and it can be made to do so in such a way that the farmer doesn't feel he is being deprived of valuable time." Goodsell, manager of the New York Fruit Auction company, is a member of the board of directors of the recently established transportation organization, which will shortly place in service seven fast modern steamships equipped with the cold air type of refrigeration to carry perishables from Los Angeles to points on the Atlantic seaboard. Mr. Goodsell, as manager of the New York Fruit Auction company, has handled a greater part of the citrus fruit shipped from California for distribution to the various consuming centers of the Atlantic coast, and he has also had supervision over the perishables moved in ships into the United States from the tropics and for many years has been recognized as an authority on the proper method of handling refrigerated products, by the United States shipping board. Mr. Goodsell is very well known to citrus growers and shippers in southern California, as he has made it a practice to visit California every year and attend the various gatherings of the fruit growers and farmers. He has been, for many years, a staunch advocate of waterway transportation for perishable food products and has made an exhaustive study of this subject. He is very much in favor of the compartment type of ship, which, as he states, would permit of the free circulation of cold air generated in a separate and central chamber, wholly insulated from the chambers which contain the fruit. The cold air, he states, is then driven into the commodity chambers forced drafts and at whatever temperature desired. In connection with this phase of refrigeration, Mr. Goodsell, during a recent visit in California, stated in an address to a group of growers: "The advantage of these various chambers is apparent. In the first place they permit the carrying of various different kinds of fruits, which could not be done if the fruit were mixed in the same compartment. Attempts to do so have resulted in great losses, not only because some fruit take different temperatures than others, but because the sugar content of some make them unfit companions for others. In the second place, they permit varying temperatures for different commodities. In the third place, they permit part of the ship to be kept in refrigeration while other parts of the ship are being loaded and unloaded, a very important item where it is not desirable." Guards were on hand to warn the thousands of bathers, and the rip tide, aside from carrying out quite a lot of sand, did no great damage. Naval observers in Los Angeles sal d'the disturbances unquestionably were the racetion of the Japanese tremblor.

This educator epitomizes his thought in the following: "Radio can be made to reduce the disadvantages of isolation, furnish entertainment information and news and it can be made to do so in such a way that the farmer doesn't feel he is being deprived of valuable time." It is impossible to examine the reports prepared by the farm educators without responding to the ideals of service that pervade them. Men who bring to their work such enthusiastic devotion welcome, almost prayerfully, the tremendous aid which radio seems to promise. As visualized from this inquiry, results to be accomplished by radio in connection with the life of the farmer may prove of importance second only to the vast developments brought about by the evolution of printing. Early difficulties in efficient broadcasting and receiving have been overcome by present day battery service. Improved batteries, especially built, assure advancement in the popularity of radio in both farm and city field. VAST TANK FARM The Union Oil company's big tank farm at Wilmington, which has been its construction for a bout a year, will be completed and ever one of the five three-quarters of a million barrel ground storage units in operation within the next three weeks. Of the total of 3,750,000 barrels of oil space added by the plant, three million barrels is already in use, 4 of the reservoirs being completed and doing their have resulted in great losses, not only because some fruit take different temperatures than others, but because the sugar content of some make them unfit companions for others. In the second place, they permit varying temperatures for different commodities. In the third place, they permit part of the ship to be kept in refrigeration while other parts of the ship are being loaded and unloaded, a very important item where it is not desirable to unload an entire ship, arriving in New York, could be unloaded and marketed in three days without abnormally overloading that market." He also called attention to the fact that the greatest problem after production is transportation, and that unfavorable conditions in transportation has, in many instances, had the effect of spoiling the fruit's flavor and impairing its keeping qualities, as the alternate heating and freezing during rail transportation is responsible for the greatest part of the damage suffered by fruit while in transit across the continent. This however, he states will be eliminated by waterway movement of citrus fruits from California to the Atlantic seaboard. Mr. Goodsell, during his many years experience as manager of the New York Fruit Auction company, has handled hundreds of thousands of cars of oranges from California, and Mr. Mallen points out that his connection with the California-New York Steamship company as a director and eastern representative, will be of inestimable value. C. S. Whitcomb, president of the California-New York Steamship company, is at present in the east in conference with Mr. Goodsall and others arranging for the berthing of the ships of the fleet.
