Local Brevities Eighty thousand people attended the Orange county fair, which was pronounced the best ever held in the county. Preparations are already making for next year's fair, which promoters claim will far surpass this one. The damage suit of F. R. Lagorgue against George J. Pickering was dismissed Tuesday, following a settlement out of court. Lagorgue sued for $16,800 damages because of a collision near Anaheim, nearly two years ago, but accepted $275 in settlement, amount of damages to his car. Miss Alta Lagorgue, who was injured in the accident, was awarded $1000 by a jury some months ago. The Cypress farm center exhibit at the county fair last week has been moved to Riverside and will be shown there at the Southern California fair this week as representative of Orange county. While losing its identity as the Cypress exhibit, it wins a distinctive honor for Cypress, in being selected as the county's best. The showing at Riverside is being made by the county publicity department, under the direction of Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, and the Cypress exhibit will bear only the name of Orange county. The exhibit was designed entirely by the people of the Cypress district, and that community was being congratulated today on its ability to prepare a display that would be considered of such high quality that it would be worthy of being sent to other places in the Southland as representing Orange county's best effort. The Anaheim post of the American Legion co-operated with the auxiliary Sunday in taking a little cheer to the World war veterans confined at Camp Kearney. A musical and vocal program sponsored by the Legion and a "cake shower," sponsored by the auxiliary, were features of the day's entertainment.

Bring basket lunch. The club will furnish coffee, cream and sugar. The Moose lodge is making preparations for a big dance on the evening of October 7, at Moose hall. The Moose dances always promise a good night's entertainment. Aaron Hess of Anaheim was a dutiful husband to Alberta Virginia Hess for 30 years. Then he started "stepping out," it was charged in effect by his wife's suit for divorce in Superior court. The couple lived at 237 East Adele street, Anaheim. A year ago, Mrs. Hess alleges, her husband started staying out nights to dances and other places of amusement. He protested to his wife that, in spite of this, he was true to her, and she believed him, she says. But several months ago she found, she says, that he was associating with other women. They separated last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Hess were married in Rockingham county, Va., April 19, 1894. They have two grown children. Attorneys Allen and Lyon of Fullerton represent Mrs. Hess. Mrs. H. N. White was hostess to the Monday Evening Bridge Club at her home on West Sycamore street Monday. The Justinere Card Club will be entertained this afternoon by Mrs. A. V.

A musical and vocal program sponsored by the Legion and a "cake shower," sponsored by the auxiliary, were features of the day's entertainment. Lewellyn's orchestra, Rollin's saxophone quartette and an accordion soloist of this city furnished the music, which was much enjoyed by the unfortunate "vets." More than 70 cakes were distributed by the Anaheim women in addition to cookies, jams, fruit and home-made candies. Mrs. Harriett K. Boyd, president of the auxiliary, had general charge of arrangements. According to Principal Louis E. Plummer, 904 students are now attending the Fullerton Union high school. This is within 26 of the number enrolled in the institution last year at this time. Enrollment at the Fullerton Junior college now totals 155 students. Because of additional work in English, a requirement for graduation introduced this year, a new instructor has been added to that department. She is Miss Helen Dryer, who recently completed a journey around the world. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jensen returned on Tuesday evening from their trip to Denmark, after an absence of four months. They made the trip home from New York in their car, and found roads extremely wet and muddy in Colorado. They are very glad to get back to Anaheim. Joe Burch, employed on a ranch owned by Job Denni, near Chino, was fatally burned while filling the tank of a tractor with gasoline Saturday morning. Burch's home was in Anaheim, and the body was brought here for burial. E. S. Roberts, who has been visiting in England for the past three months, has returned home and resumed his position in the S. Q. R. store. Mrs. Kurt Epstein will entertain the Sixteen Card Club at her home on North Clementine street this afternoon. This is the first meeting of the club since the summer vacation began. Mrs. Emil Tittman, who has been visiting relatives in Switzerland for some months, is expected home in about a week. She visited her parents at Erlach, also relatives of her husband in Zurich. Mrs. Josefa Hualde of Brea, who recently died, left an estate valued at $90,000. Ten dollars each was willed to her seven children, and the balance goes to her husband, Victoriano Hualde, but at his death reverts to the children. The income from the property is stated to be $20,000 a year. Mrs. Julia Hagar has returned to her home in Berkeley, after an absence of seven months in the Hawaiian islands. Mrs. Hagar was formerly a resident of Miraffores and is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna, pioneer residents of that section, and has many warm personal friends throughout Orange county who will be glad to learn of her safe return home after her long visit to the Isles of the sea. Mr. and Mrs. Homer G. Ames will entertain the Four-Fours at the Elks Club at dinner and cards this evening. Mrs. Estella Johnson of Needles, now visiting her brother, Ed Marion, and family on the Garden Grove road, has purchased a new Packard sedan from the local agent, C. W. Cromev. Mrs. Johnson spends three months each year in Southern California during the summer, and will return to her home in Needles in a few weeks, where she has large business interests.

STOR The home of "Styleplus" clothes ANAHEIM CALIF Theodore Deldrichs is becoming one of the most expert bicycle riders in this part of the country, and covers many miles a day on his wheel. The other morning he wheeled over to Coyote creek and back again, a distance of 18 miles, before the town was fairly astir. On his way back he observed a large automobile in the ditch along the roadside. No one was present and, finding that he could not render anyone assistance, he came home and reported the incident to the authorities. The overhead sprinkling system of irrigation being installed by O. H. Schumacher on Crowther avenue is nearing completion. A large reservoir was first installed in the location on the slight rise of land east of the Placentia garage, where an oil derrick stood until a year or two ago. Mr. Schumacher is very enthusiastic over the new system of irrigation and no doubt the condition of his grove under the system will be watched with much interest by ranchers of the district. Mr. Schumacher feels that the high cost of installing the system will be amply repaid by the results obtained. In his study of the system he is thoroughly convinced that his new system is the only correct way to irrigate. Rev. B. S. Haywood, newly-appointed pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, delivered his initial sermon Sunday morning to a large congregation. Dr. J. A. Gelssinger made his first appearance in his new pulpit at Pasadena at the same time. While the people of Anaheim regretted to see Dr. Gelssinger leave, they are extending a hearty welcome to his successor. The twelfth real estate district, comprising the boards of Santa Ana, Montebello, Whittier, Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove, will send 55 automobiles filled with realtors to the state convention of the California Real Estate Association, October 7 to 10, it was learned from Frank C. Pope, Santa Ana, a vice-president of the association and in charge of the district. "The convention at Fresno is going to be the head of the freight department of the FARMERS USING RADIO More than 550,000 farms in the United States are now equipped with radio, the department of agriculture estimates, following a nation-wide survey through county agricultural agents. A similar survey last year showed 365,000 farms on which there were radio sets, and in 1923 only 145,000 farms. This rapid increase in the use of radio by farmers is due to the need for prompt market information in merchandising farm products, to the educational value of radio, and to its entertainment features. Many county agents reported that farmers have installed radio sets primarily to receive weather and market reports. Illinois leads the list in number of sets on farms, the estimate for that state being 46,000 sets; New York is next with 39,000 sets on farms; Iowa farmers have 39,000 sets; Missouri 37,000; Kansas, 35,000; Nebraska, 34,000; Ohio, 27,000; and Minnesota, 26,000. California has 22,000 sets on farms; Michigan, 19,000; Texas, 18,000; and Indiana, 17,000. The smallest number of sets is in Delaware, for which the estimate is 200 sets on farms; Florida farms have 300; New Mexico, 500; and Nevada, 600. The corn belt states show the greatest development in the use of radio on farms. The reason given for the slow development in the use of radio in the South is natural conditions which hamper broadcasting and reception. Important Changes In Union Pacific Staff Important changes in the official staff of its traffic department have just been announced by the Union Pacific system, including the appointment of R. B. Robertson, formally assistant freight traffic manager in Chicago, as assistant traffic manager of the Union Pacific at Los Angeles, who will succeed Marius de Brabant in that position. Mr. Robertson is a traffic official of wide acquaintance in the East, having been at the head of the freight traffic department in Chicago for the past several years. He was formerly at the head of the freight department of The twelfth real estate district, comprising the boards of Santa Ana, Montebello, Whittler, Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove, will send 55 automobiles filled with realtors to the state convention of the California Real Estate Association, October 7 to 10. It was learned from Frank C. Pope, Santa Ana, a vice-president of the association and in charge of the district. "The convention at Fresno is going to be the best ever held by the association," said Mr. Pope today. "I have visited every board in the twelfth district in the past few weeks and every one assured me that representatives would be present at the state gathering." Southland realtors will form an automobile caravan to the convention, leaving Van Nuys October 6, at 7 a.m. County Bank Clerks Take Study Course The board of governors of the Orange county chapter of the American Institute of Banking met in Anaheim and took preliminary steps to organize among bank clerks of the county a class for the study of negotiable paper. Henry Shaffer, Jr., of Los Angeles will be the instructor. Shaffer will fully competent to teach the subject. Persons interested in joining the class should meet at the Anaheim Union high school at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, October 1, it was asserted. If sufficient interest is shown, a class in public speaking also will be organized. Instruction is under the direction of the American Institute of Banking, and diplomas will be awarded those who complete the course of 28 lessons. More than 50 bank clerks of the county last year took the course in commercial law, and it is expected they will take the course arranged for this winter. The class will meet every Thursday night until the course is completed. EARTHQUAKES DESIRABLE Less blind fear and more intelligent interest are being expressed toward seismic disturbances. Perhaps it is because of the general realization that the earthquake is indigenous to no particular locality, but that all parts of the world may expect much visitations, that this different attitude on the part of the human race is noted. Earthquakes are becoming common, and so widespread in their range of activity that everyone everywhere grants that the thing to do is to build to withstand the shocks, rather than to move in the hope of evading them. Science recently has taken the viewpoint that earthquakes really are desirable. As expressed by the New York Times in commenting upon recent statements by a prominent professor of geology in the University of Glasgow, "Even the slight movement of the great blocks proves that the earth is still alive. Earthquakes, with all their devastation, are reassuring." Changes still are taking place on the earth's surface. It is claimed by science that when the earth's crust is definitely important changes in the official staff of its traffic department have just been announced by the Union Pacific system, including the appointment of R. B. Robertson, formally assistant freight traffic manager in Chicago, as assistant traffic manager of the Union Pacific at Los Angeles, who will succeed Marius de Brabant in that position. Mr. Robertson is a traffic official of wide acquaintance in the East, having been at the head of the freight traffic department in Chicago for the past several years. He was formerly at the head of the freight department of the Monon route and had been a leader in building up the manufacturing district of the eastern city. It is presumed Mr. Robertson has been selected for his important position by the Union Pacific because of his exceptional qualifications in carrying out the immense development program of the company in this territory, amounting to many millions of dollars. He will arrive in Los Angeles on the Los Angeles Limited Wednesday to assume his new duties. Other changes in its official staff announced by the Union Pacific effective October 1 are: F. L. Feakins, general agent of the Union Pacific at Philadelphia has been appointed assistant freight traffic manager at Chicago to succeed R. B. Robinson. H. L. Lauby has been appointed general agent at Philadelphia to succeed F. L. Feakins. Gentry Waldo, formerly assistant to the vice-president in charge of traffic, has been appointed assistant freight traffic manager at Omaha, with primary supervision, of traffic matters of the Union Pacific railroad. J. P. Quigley, formerly chief clerk to the assistant freight agent at Los Angeles, to succeed J. L. Totten, transferred to San Francisco. EARTHQUAKES DESIRABLE It must not be forgotten, however, that there will be tax reduction bills introduced by Democratic politicians which will call for tax reductions which are not possible and which the authors of the bills themselves know are impractical. The public must be prepared for political trickery of this character. The President was confronted with the selection of a man who would make an able ambassador to Japan. He awaited the final report of the agricultural commission and the recommendations by the new Secretary of Agriculture Jardine. The Muscle Shoals problem is one of the first things that will be taken up by congress. Then comes the matter of the consolidation of railroads. Another things that confronted the President-upon his return was the differences existing in the shipping board; the anthracite coal strike: Castle Brand Hats $5.00 STORE clothes CALIFORNIA that the thing to do is to build to withstand the shocks, rather than to move in the hope of evading them. Science recently has taken the viewpoint that earthquakes really are desirable. As expressed by the New York Times in commenting upon recent statements by a prominent professor of geology in the University of Glasgow, "Even the slight movement of the great blocks proves that the earth is still alive. Earthquakes, with all their devastation, are reassuring." Changes still are taking place on the earth's surface. It is claimed by science that when the earth's crust is definitely fixed then there may be expected the complete destruction of this terrestrial globe. Science claims further that way back in the distant past, Europe and America were neighboring continents, but that they have been continuously drifting further apart, moving upon a semimolten layer of lava, which in turn restlessly encircles the earth's solid central core. A group of prominent geologists, meeting recently in London, discussed the possibility of measurements to determine whether or not these major migrations of continents are still under way. This is an interesting study. Recent events in Japan, in California, in Texas, in Europe and elsewhere, cause the subject of the earth's flexibility to be worthy of earnest investigation. FIXING THE BUDGET When President Coolidge returned to Washington he was confronted with many tasks. One of the first things he did was to call the department heads together in order that the estimates for the government might be thoroughly studied before being submitted to the coming congress. He conferred with Director of the Budget Lord, cabinet officers and others as to what the several divisions of the government needed in the way of legislation. It is the President's earnest desire that a tax reduction law be passed before next March. If this is done, the taxpayer will know at that early date not only how much his taxes have been reduced, but just exactly how much he has to pay. LEGION NOTES State headquarters of the California American Legion here are preparing a great reception for the new "cowboy" commander of the organization, Allen B. Bixby of Pasadena, chosen to head the ex-service men's organization last week at the annual state meeting held on Catalina Island. Bixby is a native son of forbears who came ground the Horn in 1849 to dig for gold in California. Later his family went into the cattle business, and the new state commander was punching cows on a New Mexico range when the World war began, and he tossed aside his lariat and became a gob in Uncle Sam's North Sea fighting fleet. The uncle of the new state commander is Fred H. Bixby of Long Beach, member of the state board of agriculture and national head of the cattlemen's association. Bixby has given up the life of a cowpuncher for that of a banker in his home town. Representation is to be made immediately by State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the American Legion to President Coolidge and the officials at Washington against the proposed removal of the United States army and navy forces from China. OPEN FOR BUSINESS SATURDAY, 1 P.M.

ENSTEIN'S BASEMENT STORE The move on the part of Fisk is taken as a result of the adoption by the state convention of the Legion against the withdrawal of American troops who are protecting the lives of American citizens in China. The subject is also to be taken up with Senator Samuel M. Shortridge and Senator Hiram W. Johnson by the state officers of the Legion. Reappointment of James K. Fisk of Berkeley as state adjutant of the American Legion is announced by Department Commander Allen B. Bixby of Pasadena. Fisk has served as state adjutant under two previous state commanders of the California Legionnaires. The state adjutant was a pilot in the air service during the World war, and at present holds a commission as captain in the reserve corps of the United States air in check and to take on a wider area of water spreading in the gravel beds up the mountains to hold flood waters up the river. We regard him as an authority on these subjects, and we think he is perpendicularly correct in the premises. If the Prado dam is to divert sub-surface waters from us in any manner, it is about the last thing on earth that we want to have anything to do with. Check dams and a wider area of water spreading seem to be the things before our irrigators and taxpayers. Let us figure all these things out before voting a $5,000,000 bond issue. We are "pizen" on bond issues, especially when they represent things that we do not want, and which ordinarily we should run away from.

California delegates and visitors to the great American Legion national convention at Omaha, Nebr., are to leave San Francisco for the meeting on October 1. The Legion delegation from the various posts of the state are to assemble in San Francisco for entrainment on the Golden Gate special over the tracks of the Western Pacific railroad. A stop is to be made at Salt Lake City and at Colorado Springs, Colo., where the Legion men and women of the two cities and the Chambers of Commerce will entertain the California World war veterans. A carload of California oranges is to be taken along for distribution at the convention at Omaha. The official mascot of the California delegates will be a live grizzly bear. DO WE WANT PRADO DAM? Harry Hale offred a number of suggestions at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, at Orange, some evenings ago, relative to the Prado dam, which should engage the serious attention of every irrigator and taxpayer in this county; Mr. Hall said that if the dam be put down to bedrock, it will divert underground waters now coming into this county and send them into the Chino and Pomona basin. He favors the construction of a series of check dams further the premises. If the Prado dam is to divert sub-surface waters from us in any manner, it is about the last thing on earth that we want to have anything to do with. Check dams and a wider area of water spreading seem to be the things before our irrigators and taxpayers. Let us figure all these things out before voting a $5,000,000 bond issue. We are "pizen" on bond issues, especially when they represent things that we do not want, and which ordinarily we should run away from. John Tuffree called the attention of the meeting to the fact that Long Beach is buying property in the Westminster section for the purpose of supplying that city with water. What John said is a good cartel and merits the closest attention not only of the people of Westminster, but of the entire county as well. Let all these things be looked into. Our exports to South America for the fiscal year recently closed showed an increase of $79,000,000 over the year previous, and our total trade with Latin-America during the year passed the two billion dollar mark. Our exports increased $130,000,000 and our imports from the same countries gained $41,000,000. These are tremendous figures and show the importance of our commercial relations with our Latin-American neighbors. With Europe impoverished and the Orient decidedly unsettled, our economic field now lies Central and South America. We ought to give special attention to cultivating it. It is getting so that the far-sighted murderer orders 100 photographs at $50 a dozen for his prospective admirers before he goes out and commits the crime.
