E. Wahlberg. Orange county farm advisor. Scores of requests have been made to the farm advisor during the past several days for reports on certain groves in the county, relative to the amount of water the trees required and, according to Wahlberg, the demonstrations will give much of this information so that the farmer will be able to know how much water is need ed from time to time. Efforts of the growers to abide by the strict laws governing the use of water, during the power shortage, has made the grower keen to learn all possible regarding irrigation and for this reason, according to Wahlberg, the demonstrations are expected to be well attended. On Thursday, July 25th, a demonstration will be conducted at 10 a.m. at the place of T. F. Shea, Placentia avenue and Santa Ana streets, Anaheim; 2 p.m. at the place of J. O. Arkley, near Garden Grove; Friday, July 25th, 10 a.m. at the place of C. C. Chapman, Fullerton; 2 p.m., Santa Ana canyon, place to be designated later. The demonstrations will be conducted by the local farm bureau and the extension department of the Uni. versity of California college of agriculture, and, according to Wahlberg, will give to the farmers a simple method for computing the amount of water for each application. The demonstrations also will show the present moisture conditions of the soils in The sisters are Mrs. Lester Mayer, Mrs. Cora Altnow and Misses Beulah and Margaret Schmidt. The supervisors, setting as a board of equalization, adjourned Monday. There were very few protests against Assessor Sleeper's valuations.

BREA STARTS BRICK PLANT The Brea Clay Products company has completed preliminary tests of its brick making machinery, and has started manufacturing building materials on a production basis. Officials of the concern are congratulating themselves on the foresight in planning their plant with an installation of gas engines instead of depending on electric power. They are now turning out the brick at the rate of several thousand a day, and the power shortage is not affecting them, because the only juice they are using is at the digging shovel and the pit pulverizer. The heavy mixing machinery is powered with an enormous twin cylinder gas engine, and a special gasoline locomotive takes care of the movement of the material. The clay uncovered in Brea is said to be similar to the material used at Orange County Clay Products company which it is claimed has solved the problem of uniform and durable brick and tile. OUR ORIENTAL BUSINESS The importance of harbor development on the Pacific Coast is indicated in the rapid increase in business with the Orient. Official figures from the Department of Commerce show that the foreign trade of America during the eleven months ended May 31st, totaled $7,285,000,000, over seven and a quarter billions of dollars, of which $3,280,000,000, about three and a quarter billions were imports and $4,000,000, four billion were exports. The item of special importance to Southern California is the statement that in the past ten years the trade with Asia has grown 215.4 per cent, now reaching over $1,500,000,000 a year. Analysis further indicates that 30.5 per cent of American sea-borne success of the World Port at Los Angeles harbor is an index to the variety and possibility of world trade and a roster of places to which the business is carried would make a good geography. In planning for a harbor for Orange county it is not difficult to appreciate the great value it will be to the entire adjacent territory. In turn it will supplement and add to the great volume of business at the adjacent great port. No one will say that the rapidly increasing business of the Pacific or that the future of the greatest of all the oceans can be safely satisfied with the few dominant ports now on its American side. The enormously increasing importance of the American nation requires a series of World Ports, as well as many lesser ports on its Pacific shore line. Newport Bay offers one of the best of the very few natural locations, capable of development at an economical cost and presenting no physical difficulties. It is one of the greatest potential possibilities in all of Southern California. It can be put into operation within a short period and its opening as a commercial harbor will be another step forward toward American growth on the Pacific ocean. MR. DAWES ON DEMAGOGUES Mr. Charles G. Dawes made at Evanston recently one of the most honest to goodness speeches that the country has heard from a public man in a generation, when he denounced "the curse of demagoguery in political discussions," and pledged himself to make a merciless fight against it. Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, Teddy Hayes, his theatrical manager, Mrs. Teddy Hayes (Florence Lee) leading lady of the Dempsey company and Jack Dean, chauffeur, were all injured when Dempsey's big Rolls-Royce sedan was side swipped by another car two miles north of San Juan Capistrano Sunday evening. A phone call was sent to the county hospital for an ambulance but the order was countermanded, as it was found that all members of the party were able to travel in a stage. They were on their way to location near San Diego, where a picture is being screened. C. A. Walker of the Santa Fe has returned from a month's visit east, during which time he attended the international convention of the Lions' clubs at Omaha. He spent some days in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis and other large centers of population and in the farming district throughout the northwest found all sections returning to prosperous conditions, except where excessive rainfall has delayed the harvest and in some places reduced the crops. Advancing prices for wheat and corn have stabilized these products and unfavorable conditions hitherto existing seem now happily at an end. In Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and other states he found strong sentiment for Coolidge and is confident the president will carry these states. Nobody is half as important as a little man in a little job who thinks he is a big man on a big job. Comfort promotes genius just as luxury and poverty destroy it. The item of special importance to Southern California is the statement that in the past ten years the trade with Asia has grown 215.4 per cent, now reaching over $1,500,000,000 a year. Analysis further indicates that 30.5 per cent of American sea-borne foreign trade is now carried on with countries of the Far East or on the Pacific. The future of the Pacific Southwest is insuperably tied into the development of Pacific Trade. South America, Central America, China, Japan, teh Philippines, Australia, New Zea land, the many smaller groups of islands of the Pacific, Alaska, Canada are all customers that can be readily reached and acted to and from California ports. The usual may of the Pacific Ocean carries in wide curving lines the routes of the many great ocean shipping lines and it is significant that along the Oriental side of the Pacific the points and ports of call are many, while the destinations or terminals on the American side of the Pacific are not few. As a nation aspiring to assume its proper place in manufacturing and world trade it is not only neccessary to create the goods, but in addition it is required of the manufacturer that he place the goods on er cannot put the purchases directly in the hands of the buyer, at least he should provide the place where the buyer can come and shop or pick it up. This means harbors, and that harbors are needed can be made great national assets as well, has been demonstrated fully and completely in the eleven months ended May 31st, totalled $7,285,000,000, over seven and a quarter billions of dollars, of which $3,280,000,000, about three and a quarter billions were imports and $4,000,000, four billionals were exports. Mr. Charles G. Dawes made at Evanston recently one of the most honest to goodness speeches that the country has heard from a public man in a generation, when he denounced "the curse of demagoguery in political discussions," and pledged himself to make a merciless fight against it without political favor. Mr. Dawes is absolutely right in declaring demagogism a 'curse.' and in attributing to a demagogue "orgy" most of the evils from which this and European countries have been suffering for the last five or six years. So far as we are concerned, it is unquestionably at the root of most of the political and government troubles with which we are now afflicted. But for its supremacy in both parties in regard to every public question, from prohibition to taxation from the League of Nations to the Pork Barrel, nearly every problem before us could have been settled long ago on a basis of sound economics and constitutional principle. But we have been cursed by an orgy of demagogism that has subordinated the public peace and welfare to personal and political advantage. In every age an devery country where popular government has prevailed the demagogue has been the fatal foe of democracy. He bores from within and polls liberty in the name of freedom. What this country needs now more than anything else is intellectually honest public men. If "D" in Dawes turns out to be "Down with Demagogues and Demagogism," the country will owe him a debt of gratitude. PAGE FIVE Just One More Week of TALKENSTEIN'S SEMI-ANNUAL CLEARANCE Watch Our Windows FALKENSTEINS APPEAL TO MOTORISTS An appeal to motorists of California to refrain from the use of muffler cut-outs while driving on roads running parallel to grain fields or through the mountains, because of the danger of fire, was contained in a statement issued at the offices of the Division of Motor Vehicles. The appeal follows reports to the division from W. B. Rider, deputy state forester, that a number of serious fires have been traced to flying sparks caused by driving with open mufflers. The statement said: "The attention of the California motoring public is called to the grave danger of fire caused by driving through heavily forested areas in the mountains or on roads running through grain land and brushy country with open mufflers. Explosions of the engine from sparks of red hot carbon which may be deposited on inflammable material. Grass fires that spread to adjoining grain fields are known to have been caused in this manner." "Experience has shown that it is possible to operate an automobile successfully under every condition without the use of a cut-ot. Motorists are therefore urged to refrain from its use until such time as the fire menace to California's forests and fields have passed." Election of officers and the first steps toward another attempt toward incorporation for La Habra made the meeting Monday night of the La Habra Chamber of Commerce an important one. James E.
