Crawford, Santa Ana real estate agent, was arrested by Officer Jack O'Brien, at the request of the sheriff's office, to begin a 60 days' sentence on a charge of reckless driving. Crawford was convicted of reckless driving in Justice Kenneth Morrison's court several days ago, and given a 10 days' stay of execution on $500 ball. His bondsmen requested to be relieved, and Crawford was forced to go to jail. Mary Keiser of Anaheim, who died July 20, left a $9600 estate to her sister, Caroline Klater, according to the latter's petition for letters of administration, on file in Superior court.

He is doing the work so well that his friends expect him to be promoted shortly as assistant to the supervising architect of the building. George E. Vadney, one of the efficient employees of this office, left on Saturday for Idaho, where he will visit his parents and other relatives and many friends. He arrived in the northern state on Monday afternoon, and will be absent for a two weeks' vacation. Some days ago he won the prize for sending in the best slogan for the Orange County Fair, and will receive a free pass to the show. He is a personal friend of Senator Borah, and will likely have a talk with that gentleman in relation to his appointment as collector of the port of Yorba Linda.

Otto Hammel, with Mrs. Hammel and Mrs. Loulse Hargroce, left last week by steamer for San Francisco, to represent the Anaheim Concordia Club at the North Pacific Saengerbund, a great German song festival to be held for three days. The festival, which before the war was an annual event, is the first to be held since 1915. More than 500 singers representing German singing societies in all parts of the North Pacific states are expected to take part in the chorus singing and the sectional contests. The local singers will take part in the choruses and contests as members of the Los Angeles delegation. The Los Angeles delegation has been in training for some time and expects to capture a prize in the contests. Hooking her clothing with his fishing line, after a perfect cast, a young boy prevented a woman, who gave her name as Mrs. Anna Seymour, from carrying out her plan of suicide by drowning at Seal Beach Thursday. The woman leaped from the pier after making careful preparations for her death by donning new clothing, from which all identification marks had been removed, it was said. When the woman leaped into the water, the boy snagged her clothing with the fish hook and held her above the water until she was rescued by men in a boat. She was revived by the Long Beach pulmotor crew, under the direction of Assistant Fire Chief William Minter. She later was removed to a Long Beach hospital, according to the report. Investigation into the burglary of the home of Harry Felling, well-known music store proprietor of Fullerton, was held up, pending arrival of a fingerprint expert from the sheriff's office, to photograph several clues left by the thief, who stole a large quantity of clothing and valuables Saturday night. The burglar confined his activities to two bedrooms, taking complete sets of men's and women's clothing. His loot included a fur coat, capes, negligee, shirts, a cap, safety razor, small articles of jewelry, and a suitcase. Felling told police that the burglary occurred about 9 o'clock Saturday evening, while the family was away from home. A neighbor reported that he had heard noises in the residence, but thought that they were caused by members of the Felling family in the house.

STORE Today -- Thursday DOLLAR DAY The Greatest One - Day Selling Event of the Season No matter what section of the store you visit, you will find it crowded with exceptional values in timely needs. (See Our Windows) The S.Q.R. Store Anaheim, California Returning from a shopping trip in Fullerton, Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Morgan, who live in Lansdowne, a subdivision near the city, discovered their home in ruins, with all of their possessions destroyed by a fire of unknown origin early Saturday evening. Calls sent by neighbors to the Fullerton and Buena Park fire departments were of no avail, as the little bungalow was burned to the ground before either department could be of assistance. L. F. Feldler, who lives near the Morgan home, attempted to break into the house and save furniture, or stop the fire, but was forced to retreat, due to the flames and smoke. Monday afternoon, the automobile of R. F. Hazard of Westminster collided with a car driven by Mrs. Charles E. Bowers of Long Beach, and Mrs. Hazard, who was riding with her husband, was so seriously injured that she died an hour later at a Santa Ana hospital. Her 4-year-old son, Theodore, sustained a fractured skull, and is not expected to live. Mrs. Hazard was the daughter of Mrs. Deakins of this city, and formerly lived here. She leaves four children. Falkenstein's department store has outgrown its present quarters, and is finding it necessary to expand. The basement under the Cassou building, which has hitherto housed a pool hall and bowling alley, is to be refitted and turned into a mercantile emporium as an annex of the big department store. This will permit enlargement of the stock, and possibly the addition of other departments. Trustee A. W. Franzen, who attended the sewer hearing at San Francisco last week, is visiting points in the North, and will not be home for a couple of weeks. The walls of the old Langenberger building have been leveled, and nothing remains of the once proud structure but a pile of bricks and a hole in the ground. Work will soon begin on the new S. Q. R. store. Secretary George W. Reid of the In Many Sec Store FALKENS Manager E. A. Beard Becomes a Benedict E. A. Beard, head of the telephone exchanges in this city and Fullerton, surprised his numerous friends in both cities, some days ago, by taking unto himself a wife. The lady was Miss Amy Clark, one of Orange's fairest daughters, and the ceremony which made her Mrs. Beard was performed at San Diego on Monday, August 3. Mr. Beard has hitterto make his home in Fullerton, but he and his bride will hereafter make their home in this city. As manager of the telephone company, Mr. Beard is one of the best known men in the two cities, and the congratulations of his numerous friends are extended to him. He was too busy to take a honeymoon trip, but probably do that later—probably when the next fishing season opens. Twenty-five Per Cent Limit Treasury Idea That the treasury idea is the reduction of the surtax rate to 20 per cent making the maximum normal and surtax rate 25 per cent, is indicated by the statement of Acting Secretary Gerald B. Winston to the effect these rates would be satisfactory from a revenue department. Notes From Oil Field The Newport Beach oil field at the present time has 15 shallow wells producing heavy oil and asphaltum. More than 20 rigs are up in the field and more going in every month. Many of the large companies have not the facilities for handling the heavy oil, and the Newport field also is regarded as freaky. Just now some of the smaller companies are making efforts to develop light-oil production up on the bluffs overlooking the beach field. These tests have not yet given satisfactory results, according to reports. The Western Oil and Refining Company is building a rig for such a test, and the hole may be drilled some time this fall. Among the companies and individuals now trying to develop production in the Newport Beach field are the following: Bruce Oil Company No. 1, depth 453 feet, producing five barrels a day; No. 2, idle; No. 3, ribbed up; idle; Dekay Oil Company, drilling with standard tools at 40 feet; H. Reimers No. 1, idle rig; J. Rekar, drilling at 825 feet; South Basin Oil Company No. 1, No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5, drilling at from 1150 to 1250 feet; Newport Oil Company No. 1, drilling at 1046 feet; Yerkes Oil Company, Eimer No. 1 and No. 2: producing 75 barrels each; Interstate Oil Company, tails is theretween the Birch completed.

She will have the co-operation of other members of the committee and of Mrs. Bradley, who had charge of this department in the county fair in other years. The women are being favored this year with a larger assortment of prizes and more cash. The classifications have been rearranged "nearer to the cook's desire." There will be also many more special prizes. Perhaps the most interesting section will be filled with jellies, preserves and canned fruit. In fact, the whole decorative display of products this year is expected to bring joy to lovers of home-made delicacies. The visitor might well recall the lines: THE EVE OF ST. AGNES While he from forth the closet brought a heap Of candied apple, quince and plum and gourd; With jellies smoother than the creamy curd And lucent syrups tinct with cinnamon. In the citrus preserved fruit class there will be grapefruit and lemon, as well as orange marmalade. Also marmalade of various mixtures of these fruits. There will be jellies clearer than honey. Candied peel is another drawing card, according to Mrs. Bradley. This display interests all women, but the entries come especially from the farming districts. DELIGHTFUL CARD PARTY Mrs. Carl Martin and Mrs. Lybarger entertained the Ladies of the Eastern Star Five Hundred Club at a delightful card party, at the Masonic Temple, on Monday afternoon. After cards the ladies were regaled with a pot-luck luncheon. Among those present were: Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Hardage, Pauline Houts, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Squires, Mrs. Hanson, Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Gregory, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Hasson, Mrs. Metcalf, Mrs. Lybarger, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Carl Martin. First prize was won by Mrs. Jones, second by Mrs. Squires and third by Mrs. Lybarger. That the treasury idea is the reduction of the surtax rate to 20 per cent making the maximum normal and surtax rate 25 per cent, is indicated by the statement of Acting Secretary Gerard B. Winston to the effect these rates would be satisfactory from a revenue standpoint. Secretary Winston advocated the abolishment of federal inheritance taxes and opposed the application of the graduated income tax to corporations, stating that he hoped agitation for such a plan would be avoided. "An income tax on corporations, granted on the amount of Income has no logical basis," Mr. Winston wrote. "The theory of a graduated income tax is that it is related to the capacity of the taxpayer to pay. A man with $100,000 can spare a larger proportion of his income than a man with $10,000. This reasoning has no relation whatsoever to corporations." "A large corporation having a large income may be owned by a great number of small stockholders who cannot afford to have their dividends cut down whereas another corporation having moderate income may be owned entirely by one man, who can well afford to pay a larger proportion of his income to the government. "If we have two corporations, each earning $1,000,000, they would be taxed at a different rate. If they were consolidated into one corporation they would be taxed at a different rate, a purely arbitrary discrimination. The tendency of a graduated income tax would be to split up large corporations into a great number of small corporations, the economic effect, of which would be undesirable." San Diego is negotiating with a view to purchase Lake Hodges and its water supply, except the stock owned by the Rancho Santa Fe. Almost any man can earn a good salary, even if he doesn't get it. Among the companies and individuals now trying to develop production in the Newport Beach field are the following: Bruce Oil Company No. 1, depth 453 feet, producing five barrels a day; No. 2, idle; No. 3, ribbed up, idle; Dekay Oil Company, drilling with standard tools at 40 feet; H. Reimers No. 1, idle rig; J. J. Rekar, drilling at 825 feet; South Basin Oil Company No. 1, No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5, drilling at from 1150 to 1250 feet; Newport Oil Company No. 1, drilling at 1946 feet; Yerkes Oil Company, Eimer No. 1 and No. 2; producing 75 barrels each; Interstate Oil Company, two producing and three drilling; J. N. Otto, one well idle; Pasadena Oil Company, two wells drilling; A. T. Jergens, one well drilling; Jessie M. Nelson, one well drilling; Empire Drilling Company, one producing and two drilling; Newport Petroleum Corporation, two wells drilling; Orange Oil Company, two wells producing and one drilling. During the last week the Shell Company brought in a new producer in the old Brea-Ollinda field. The new well is known as Orange No. 3-A and is a new hole which was drilled to take the place of Shell's old Orange No. 3. The easing in this well collapsed after the hole had produced between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 barrels of high grade oil. The new well is only a dozen yards from the old one. Still more extraordinary is the fact that the Orange No. 3-A is not more than 300 feet from the Birch Oil Company's famous old Birch No. 5, which was drilled by A. Otis Birch in 1900, and which is still pumping 175 to 200 barrels of oil a day. According to Mr. Birch, the old No. 5 has produced between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 barrels of petroleum—close to latter figures. Except for a brief shutdown in 1917, the hole has been producing almost constantly since it was completed, 25 years ago. Its only resting periods have occasional spells when crews have cleaned it out and repaired its pumps. The No. 5 was drilled 3900 feet deep. It came in at 2400 barrels a day. At the end of two years, according to Mr. Birch, it was still flowing 2000 barrels a day. After flowering for five years it tilted off and was put on the pump, and the old pump still is chugging away.

N. talls is that the new Shell well, located between the old Orange No. 3 and Birch No. 5, showed the same production when it was completed, the other day, that the Birch No. 5 showed when it was completed a quarter of a century ago. The Orange No. 3-A was finished at a depth of 4500 feet. The old Orange No. 3, which was drilled by the Columbia Oil Producing Company in 1908, was drilled about 4000 feet deep. Officials of the Shell Company think that the Orange No. 3-A is producing from the same sand as the Birch No. 5, but Mr. Birch is inclined to think that Shell finished its well in an entirely new sand. The new Shell producer is standing up well and is putting out about 2,000-000 cubic feet of wet gas a day, in addition to its oil. The oil tests 29 degrees gravity. The gas pressure at the casing head is reported to be 900 pounds.

L. Byars, were wounded. It was intimated that the law would not hold Self responsible for the asserted cutting of the younger Byars, in that he is said to have slashed Byars when he found him with Mrs. Self in the home of the boy's mother. The complaint named only Mrs. Byars as a victim. At the same time complaints were issued against Mrs. Byars, Robert Byars and Roxie Self, the latter the wife of Frank Self, charging each with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A small daughter of the Selfs was said to have been in the house at the time. Frank Self and Roxie Self are in the county jail, awaiting a hearing, and Robert Byars and his mother are in the Orange County Hospital, suffering from several cuts inflicted by a pocket knife said to have been in the hands of Self. Self surrendered to the police soon after the cutting, telling officers that he went to Byars' home to secure his 6-year-old daughter and that he found his wife with Byars. He admitted that he attacked both the mother and son. The child in question is being kept at the County Detention Home. Physicians said Byars and his mother would recover. Growers in the Imperial valley are alarmed at the estimate of 30,000 acres of lettuce in the fall planting, fearing overproduction. Pomona, Los Angeles county, has replaced local street cars with a light bus system which involves telephone calls for transportation. A fireman is one person who can talk of his old flames without getting in hot water. Declaring that the Russian government has employed agents to stir up trouble in the United States, Mr. Castle said that the European nations have gained little recognition of the Soviet except an army of propagandists who attempt to undermine the governments whose guests they are. Mr. Castle declared that the aim of American policy toward Europe was "helpfulness without imperiment interference, co-operation without entanglement, avoidance of promises which cannot be fulfilled, and scrupulous fulfillment of engagements." It was our purpose, he went on, to promote permanent peace based on "sympathetic understanding of common problems and recognition of national rights." Declaring that our policy must always remain thoroughly American based on the fundamental interests of the United States, he said: "Only sentimentalists will find fault with the government for this attitude because only they could make the absurd claim that the American people elect their President primarily to promote the interests of other countries. In the final analysis the protection and promotion of the permanent interests of this country by the government is best for the world at large." STATE IS LIBERAL The Orange County Fair was given an appropriation of $200 by the state board of control, according to a dispatch from Sacramento. The Orange County Fair was not allowed as much as other fairs in the Southland by the state board, the dispatch indicated. The following are the names and amounts given other outdoor expositions: Los Angeles County Fair, $8985; Ventura County Fair, $6022.50; Fresno District Fair, $3705; Imperial Valley Mid-Winter Fair, $742.50; Riverside County Fair, $4683.75; San Diego County Farm Bureau, $1706.25.
