Here’s Chance to Win Big Prizes Students to Write Essays on Twelve Greatest Heroes Students of Orange county junior high schools and grammar schools have been invited to participate in the "World Hero Prize Competition," under the auspices of the National Council for the Prevention of War, according to notices sent out by Miss Margaret Livingston, county librarian. Miss Livingston said that $1200 in prizes is offered to school pupils of the world, the competition to end "World Good Will Day," May, 1926. The prizes will be awarded for the best short essays on the 12 figures of human history, men or women deemed most worthy of remembrance as the world's greatest, giving consideration to nobility of character, fearlessness and self-sacrifice devotion to a great cause, constructive work for humanity of a permanent nature. Each school, through its principal, is asked to submit a list of 12 persons as the world's greatest heroes. With the list may be sent one essay on each of these heroes, written by a pupil of the school. The 12 equal prizes of $100 each will be awarded for the best essay on each of the 112 heroes selected by the schools. These essays, the county librarian pointed out, must not exceed 200 words in length. Dr. Augustus O. Thomas, Augusta Mc., will act as chairman of the committee of award, the other members to be announced later, according to Miss Livingston. Announcement of the choice of the experienced lenders claim. Many resolutions came before the convention. Perhaps the most important of these resolutions recommended that the officers of the Federation collaborate with the representatives of other agricultural organizations to the end of placing an initiative petition on the ballot next November reapportioning the legislative representation along lines similar to the "three-eighths, five-eighths" plan. It was stated that if re-apportionment through the initiative supported by a solid agricultural endorsement. Another resolution endorsed the development of water of the Colorado River by the building of a high dam in Boulder Canyon and building an All-American Canal. While the matter affects Southern California, principally it was pointed out that such a development would eliminate the necessity of Southern California applying for some of the much needed water in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys thus the problem becomes of state-wide interest. According to the recommendation of the Public Utility Committee in the future utility problems will clear thru the counties and the state executive committee before becoming a duty of the department. This recommendation was made in an effort to relieve the department from the work of preliminary investigations and many of the minor individual complaints which tend to overwhelm the state office. Better publicity for the Bureau will be obtainable if the ideas of the publicity Committee are carried out. In addition to the Farm Bureau Monthly, it is proposed to arrange a weekly one hour radio talk on current events and their bearing on agriculture and the development of a film library. This library will furnish pictures to the Farm Bureau at delivery costs and will gain its sustenance from renting agricultural films and news reels to the popular theatreres. In this manner the Bureau has an opportunity to "sell" the organization to the business and pleasure world. It is considered reflex advertising, that will have a far-reaching effect. Arrangements for these two new publicity avenues are already being made. The next meeting will be held in Stockton in November 1925. A. M.

The award of the prizes for the best essays will be made as soon as possible after September 1, 1926, Miss Livingston added. Convention Shows Bureau's Progress Earl Houghton, of Tulare County, became President of the California Farm Bureau Federation at the three-day convention held at San Francisco recently. F. L. Selleck, of Santa Cruz County, who was a second record for the position, receiving seventeen votes against Houghton's twenty-three made the motion to make the choice unanimous. W. S. Rosocrans, of Los Angeles, was chosen Vice-President, and Alex Johnson was retained as Secretary. While many new faces marked the convention, the absence of rancor and earnestness of purpose of the directors made the convention remarkable. Fully fifty per cent of the delegates were making their first appearance as delegates at the convention but that all were studiously trying to make the State Federation better was apparent. Probably because of these new delegates the officers elected as stated above will have the valuable support of practically an entirely new Executive Committee. The regional elections placed the following men in this responsible position. Of this list the first two named have had previous experience on the Committee. E. E. Campbell, Orange; W. S. Rosocrans, Los Angeles; Dallas Gray, Kings County; B. H. Schultle, Monterey; Lloyd Landeborough, Placer; E. E. Burnett, Jolano; A. Ahf, Tohana, and E. J. Sutton of Sonoma. These men will be required to meet at least four times a year and assist the president in the direction of the organization. However, the election of officers was not any more important than other actions that were taken at the convention. Actuated by the reports from some of the counties in regards to membership matters, the directors authorized the new president to employ a field secretary. The duties of this officer will be to establish closer contact between the Federation and the forty-three Farm Bureau activities in all its branches and to have membership as his principle project. This is said to fill a long felt want, but the matter library will furnish pictures to the Farm Bureau at delivery costs and will gain its sustenance from renting agricultural films and news reels to the regular theatrees. In this manner the Bureau has an opportunity to "sell" the organization to the business and pleasure world. It is considered reflex advertising, that will have a far reaching effect. Arrangements for these two new publicity avenues are already being made. The next meeting will be held in Stockton in November 1925. A. M. STANLEY. IN OUR CANYON BOTTOMS The development of a pumping plant in San Juan canyon throwing a stream of 75 inches is of a good deal of interest to those who have watched the changes that have taken place in this county in the past 40 years. It is a significant development for the reason that it marks another successful venture in the canyons of the lower foothills of the Santa Ana mountain range. The first success scored in the footballs was that of the syndicate composed of W. C. and B. W. Jerome, C. R. and Felton Browning and A. J. Creokshank, in Alamo canyon, near El Toro. From the well brought in there 15 months ago, a thriving young Valencia orchard of 110 acres is now proclaiming the glory of the orchard as contrasted with the glory of the overlasting hills. Almost as a part of this project, insamuch as it came as a direct result of its success, is another planting of Valencias by John and Bennie Osterman on property adjoining that held by the syndicate. Both are on the Whiting ranch under lease and option. On the rancher owned by Jerome O'Neill are dozens of canyons in which similar development may take place. Either, the big ranch property in Orange county has been devoted to cattle raising, with portions of it given over to grain, hay and beans. Just how far drilling or water will be undertaken immediately is not known. The bringing in of they in San Juan canyon, however, shows what can be done in that canyon, and points out the probability that there are thousands of acres on the O'Neill ranch that can be and eventually will be changed from pasture and annual crops to orchard. LEGION NOTES Presentation of the medals won by Miss Ellinor Cole, 13-year-old Placeville high school girl, and by Miss Mary Louise Cleveland of Selma high school, as the winners of the state-wide American Legion scholarship essay contest are to be attended by considerable formalities in the respective communities of the winners, according to State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the Legion. The two students have won out over all the others in the state, and their essays have been entered into the $1500 national scholarship essay contest of the American Legion. However, the election of officers was not any more important than other actions that were taken at the convention. Actuated by the reports from some of the counties in regards to membership matters, the directors authorized the new president to employ a field secretary. The duties of this officer will be to establish closer contact between the Federation and the forty-three Farm Bureau, further Farm Bureau activities in all its branches and to have membership as his principle project. This is said to fill a long felt want, but the matter of financing the position is still a problem. The reports showed that all of the counties had carried on a full program of work successfully and, of course, all "had the best farm advisor in the state." During one of the evening sessions, John T. Watson, of Illinois, discussed the wonderful work the Bureau has been accomplishing in that state along the lines of tax reduction. Their tax research department, in many respects comparable to our own public utility department, became a study of tax problems some years ago, making surveys and presenting evidence to the State Tax Commission with the result that a large burden of taxation has been lifted from the farmers. The presence of ladies representing the home department of the Farm Bureau was another pleasing addition to the Convention. In a report of their activities the ladies asked for recognition in the Regional meetings of the Bureau. This request was readily granted and they were even offered the privilege of representation at the state meetings but this they refused. There is nothing in the Constitution to prevent any woman from being elected as either a director or a delegate it was pointed out. President Houghton and A. C. Hardison were elected as delegates to the American Farm Bureau Federation. In his closing address, Mr. Hardison's advice to the new officers could be summed up in the saying "go slow and learn to peddle." This advice may well be heeded by the entire organization from the farm center up, ex- Presentation of the medals won by Miss Ellinor Cole, 13-year-old Placeville high school girl, and by Miss Mary Louise Cleveland of Selma high school as the winners of the state-wide American Legion scholarship essay contest are to be attended by considerable formalities in the respective communities of the winners, according to State Adjutant James K.

"Education is the basis of good citizenship and the work of the American Legion is doing in focusing the attention of our citizens upon education is highly commendable." Governor Richardson thus endorsed the observance in California of American Education Week. "Education is the cheap defense of nations," State Commander Allen B. Bishop of Pasadena says in his message to the Legion men and women to join in the observance of the week. The program arranged includes the following: Monday, November 16, American Constitution Day; Tuesday, Patriotism Day; Wednesday, School and Teachers' Day; Thursday, Conservation and Thrift Day; Friday, Know Your School Day; Saturday, Community and Health Day; Sunday, For God and Country Day. President Coolidge has declared himself in favor of the establishment of a permanent medical corps in the United States Veterans' Bureau, a move sponsored by the American Legion, according to word received here by Major Walter Garrison, state chairman of the Legion's committee on veteran reliabilization. Medical officers in the California hospitals of the veterans' bureau would become members of the permanent corps, present plans contemplate. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P.

Henderson, formerly a prominent citizen of Anaheim, but for the past few years one of the successful real estate dealers in Long Beach, has been cited to appear in superior court and answer to a charge of fraud and misrepresentation in a real estate deal. The complainant is J. C. Cordes, one of Anaheim's most prominent citizens. Cordes recently traded his 10-acre orange grove on Lincoln avenue for a flat in Long Beach. He claims the realtor misrepresented the furniture in the flat, the rentals received, and also alleges he was induced to sign a note for $1400 to cover a trust deed, which he asserts does not exist.. He further alleges Henderson misrepresented the commission due for making the transaction. Henderson will be given a hearing on five counts alleged in the complaint, before the state commissioner at the Chamber of Commerce building at Long Beach, at 10 a.m., November 20. It is reported that the Long Beach Realty Board has taken an interest in the case and will be represented by an attorney at the hearing. Henderson faces loss of his realtor's license and may even face additional punishment in the event he is found guilty on any of the counts. that October had the largest circulation in the history of the library, 1365 books were taken out.
