Musician Killed In Auto Accident Sevèral Persons Injured in County Saturday Afternoon One man is dead, another is in the county jail and six persons were hurt, none seriously, in a series of automobile accidents in Orange county Saturday. Rafael Negrete, 31 years of age, 4311 East First street, Los Angeles, violinist with the Mission Players of San Gabriel, died on his way to the hospital at 11 o'clock Saturday night from injuries received when the automobile in which he was riding, turned over on the San Diego highway, six miles south of Irvine station. Alejandro Espenoza, 30, driver of the machine in which Negrete was riding, escaped injury, but was arrested by Ed. French and Ed. McClellan, deputy sheriffs, and is being held for investigation in the county jail, pending an inquest. Celilla Ruiz, 23, also a musician, who was in the machine at the time of the accident, is at the Santa Ana Valley Hospital, suffering from severe cuts and bruises. Her condition is not serious, however. According to information obtained by Coroner Charles D. Brown from relatives of the dead man, a large party of musicians and others attended a fiesta at the Juhanamer rancho in San Diego county early Saturday night and were returning to their homes in Los Angeles. Negrete with his two companions, returned by the Coast route and other members of the party returned on the inland route. Information obtained by the sheriff's office was to the effect that Espenoza drove his machine off the road in a heavy fog, and in trying to return it to the road, struck a tree, causing the machine to turn over several times. The scene of the accident is a sharp curve and it is believed that in the fog he possibly misjudged the length of the curve. Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Wylie, Salinas, Calif., and E. B. Knight, 512 East Eighth street, Santa Ana, were slightly injured Saturday afternoon, when the machine in which they were riding collapsed the civil, military and naval life of those who molded this republic and saved it from foes, both within and without, between the close of the American Revolution and the ending of the War of 1812. The society was founded January 8, 1892, by the late Mrs. Flora Adams Darling. In 1897, during the presidency of Mrs. William Gerry Slade, of Massachusetts, the society was incorporated by an act of congress as "The National Society United States Daughters of 1812." The signing of this bill is said to have been the last official act of President William McKinley prior to his untimely death at the hands of an assassin. Mrs. Slade gave eighteen years of her busy life to the office of national president of the society. "The insignia of the society is composed of gold with blue enamel, and represents a star reating upon an anchor. The center of the star bears the inscription, 'U. S. D., 1812.'" "The society is happy to record the names of 263 real daughters as active members." NO INTERFERENCE WITH BUSINESS The business of the United States need have no fear of government interference as long as it continues its business in an orderly and proper manner. Was the message that President Coolidge gave to the members of the Chamber of Commerce of New York at their annual banquet? The president, in unmistakeable terms, emphasized the desirability of independence between business and government. He pointed out that whenever a government comes unduly under the influence or dominance of business the tendency is to develop an administration which closes the door of opportunity and becomes narrow and selfish. The president pointed out that in using the word "business" he meant it to include employer and employee, the production of agriculture and industry, and other business forms of human activity. The president desires to have business remain business. He said, "We are politically free people and must be an economically free people." The president made it most plain that turned by the Coast route and other members of the party returned on the inland route. Information obtained by the sheriff's office was to the effect that Espenozà drove his machine off the road in a heavy fog, and in trying to return it to the road, struck a tree, causing the machine to turn over several times. The scene of the accident is a sharp curve and it is believed that in the fog he possibly misjudged the length of the curve. Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Wylie, Sallinas, Calif., and E. B. Knight, 512 East Eighth street, Santa Ana, were slightly injured Saturday afternoon, when the machine in which they were riding collided with an automobile bearing state the Garden Grove road and Seventeenth license No. 416405, at the intersection of street, according to a report made to the sheriff's office by Knight. The injured received medical attention and were later able to return to their homes. Richard Prather, 4, Santa Ana, received lacerations about the head when the automobile in which he was riding with Ray Kuykendall, 19, 336 East Pine street, Santa Ana, collided with a car driven by Harold Orr, 1031 West Third street, at the intersection of First and Ross street. The child was not badly hurt. Mrs. George Long, Tustin, received injuries in an automobile accident at the intersection of Main street and California avenue, Tustin, at 5:25 o'clock Saturday afternoon, according to a report filed by Jennie Polard. According to the report, Mrs. Long was riding with her husband, when their machine collided with the machine occupied by Miss Polard and Clarence Bowman, the latter also a resident of Tustin. No one in the Polard machine was injured. Mrs. Long was taken to her home by her husband. SEVERAL DAUGHTERS OF 1812 ARE ACTIVE There are 263 real daughters of the War of 1812 who are active in the society of the Daughters of 1812 according to Mrs. Charles Fisher Taylor who writes entertainingly of the society its history and its purposes in the current number of the National Republic. Mrs. Taylor says: "The National Society of the United States Daughters of 1812 is composed of the descendants of the patriots who served their country during the struggle with Great Britain in 1812. "This organization is non-sectional, non-sectarian and non-partisan. Its motto is "Liberty and Fraternity." The general purpose of the society is to promote patriotism. It seeks to preserve and increase knowledge of the history of the American people through the preservation of the documents and relics, the marking of historic spots, the recording of family history and traditions, the celebrating of patriotic anniversaries, and particularly the emphasizing and teaching of heroic deeds of Eyesight Regained At Healing Service During a healing service conducted at the Nazarene church/ at Haverhill, Mass., the other night in conjunction with a revival campaign, the eyesight of Mrs. Bertha L. Clifford, residing in the rear of the Kenoza avenue pumping station, was restored from approaching total blindness, Rev. F. W. Domina announced. Before the healing service, Mrs. Clifford, a victim of cataracts on the pupils of both eyes, was unable to make her way about without assistance, her sight being gone to such an extent that she could only see the form of anything about her. Upon opening her eyes after anointment with oil by Evangelist Marion M. Bussey of South Vineland, N. J., who conducted the healing service, Mrs. Clifford declared she was able to see plainly the faces of those about her and that she could tell the time on a small clock in front of the church without the aid of glasses. Xmas Presents FOR ALL THE FAMILY China Pyrix Glass Baking Dishes A Full Line Mechanical Toys Erector Sets Boys' Wagons HARDWARE WHITE Phone 343 142 East Center Spends Millions To Aid Growers At a cost of $17,000,000 a new produce terminal at Chicago, covering six blocks and constituting the most complete and modern distribution plant for California perishable products, has been thrown open to shippers and growers. This is according to J.R. Hayden, assistant traffic manager of the Santa Fe, who announces that the vast terminal with its concrete and brick auction house, the new home of the Fruit Auction company and the Independent Fruit Auction company, 100 by 800 feet in length and width, and one to three stories high, will be of the greatest value to California producers because it not only will insure the ultimate consumer a better quality of fruits and vegetables through expeditious handling, but will eliminate serious delays to refrigerator cars which heretofore has been a serious factor on the marketing of perishables grown in this state. Unlike any other Chicago terminal carrier, said the traffic official, the Santa Fe serves the consumer in Chicago as well as the producer in California and other states traversed by the system lines. The ability thus afforded the Santa Fe to keep its refrigerator cars as nearly as possible on its own lines largely actuated the company in making the large investment in this auction and supporting tracks. While the Chicago Produce Terminal and the tracks adjacent thereto belong to the Santa Fe railroad, which serves these facilities direct, the plant is accessible to all lines entering Chicago through a switching arrangement and under the agreement with the South Water street merchants and the auction companies, as interest in these terminals may be required by other Chicago lines. Heretofore the congestion and switching of cars caused serious delay in reaching the consuming public. However, with the new direct facilities, consumption is expected to be greatly increased through quick distribution and delivery. The produce market is located in the center of the city's population and is easily accessible to all through arteries of the city. In the market there are 175 stores, with room for expanding to 225. Some idea of Chicago's value to the California grower may be gained from the fact that the city yearly consumes from 75,000 to 100,000 car loads of perishable freight. If Ma Ferguson is impeached along side of Pa Ferguson in Texas, we wonder which one of the family will run for governor next? Culture of Rhodes Grass By RAYMOND ELLIS Assistant Farm Advisor During the last few weeks there have been a number of inquiries come to the Rhodes Grass, a forage crop which has shown considerable resistance to alkali in Imperial Valley and other parts of the Southwest. This crop has proven its value in other sections on small spots of alkali soil where reclamation through drainage is not possible, and where the farmer is desirous of utilizing all his land to produce a little extra forage. The grass can best be used for grazing purposes but can also be cut for hay, providing it is cut just after blooming time. If allowed to get into the seed, the stem becomes very hard and woody and will not be entirely consumed by stock. Rhodes Grass is a native of South Africa, being named after Cecil Rhodes, who first grew it on his ranch near Capetown. It is a perennial where the temperature does not go below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but is frozen at temperatures below that point. The grass does well on most types of soil, and as laid before, is fairly resistant to alkali. Just what the limit of resistance is can Let BUSY IRON WAFFLE IRON TOASTER PERCOLATOR TABLE STOVE URN SET WARMING PAD CURLING IRON AIR HEATER VACUUM CLEANER WASHING MACHINE MANGLE REFRIGERATOR RANGE GRILL Check this List among gifts this year is the Electric Waffle Iron A beautiful present for any home.

Whether this will hold true in Orange County remains to be seen. Seed should be sown in April, care being taken that the soil is in first class condition. The soil should be moist when planted or an irrigation applied immediately after planting, and another one in approximately ten days. This will keep the seed from drying out and will insure a good start for the plant. Broadcasting by hand is probably the best method of planting; this operation to be followed by a light harrowing to cover the seed. Inasmuch as the seed is very small and weak, it must be treated with great care until the plants become established. About eight pounds of seed per acre are generally sown, an attempt being made to distribute it evenly and keep it in place. If irrigated with too large a head of water, the seed is sometimes washed to the lower end of the field and a poor stand secured. Poor stands often result also from insufficient moisture at planting time or from covering too deep. If blank spaces are not too large, however, they will fill in as the grass sends out runners which produce roots at every joint, thus producing new plants. Inasmuch as there is considerable unused alkali land in Orange County which might be used for this crop, it might be well to investigate consequently the Extension Service will try to establish some small demonstration plots during the coming year. Reservations Show Rush to Southland Information that in Chicago it is necessary to make reservations for tourist traffic to California, two weeks in advance, was given to Charles B. Bayer, field secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, in a telegram which he received from J. Frederick Ahlborn, Los Angeles county representative in Chicago. In pointing out the rush of tourists to the Southland, Ahlborn said the Los Angeles county exhibit on West Adams street, Chicago, and the entry of a Chamber of Commerce display in the International Livestock Exposition, now in session there, played important parts in influencing the westward movement. Spanish performers, entered by Los Angeles county in the livestock show, said Ahlborn, made a decided hit with the Chicago audiences. He also telegraphed that California fruits and vegetables, shipped to the display daily by the Chamber of Commerce, were arriving in good condition and were proving of interest to visitors to the exhibit.
