FARM BUREAU NOTES COMMITTEES VISIT BOULDER CANYON Co-operating with other farm bureaus and chambers of commerce in Southern California, 23 Orange county men made a pilgrimage to Los Vegas, Nevada, on the first of the month, to visit the Boulder Canyon and Black Canyon dam sites on the Colorado river. The Orange county delegation, headed by Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg, left here on Sunday morning, January 30, driving to Los Vegas that day. Monday morning was spent visiting the Boulder Canyon site, and on Tuesday they visited the Black Canyon site. Both trips were made under the auspices of the Los Vegas chamber of commerce. The party returned on February 4 and have been very enthusiastic for the Colorado river development. The trip was declared such a success that arrangements have already begun for forming another excursion for the same purpose to take place on March 17. Details of this trip will be announced by the press later, and as this is one of the most important projects of the Southwest, all who are interested should make this next trip if possible. The committee on rural education of the Orange county farm bureau made a pilgrimage to Bakersfield on February 21 and 22. At that place they met Prof. F. L. Griffin and investigated the agricultural courses given at the Bakersfield high school. This committee is earnestly seeking to re-establish agricultural education in our schools. FOREIGN WALNUT REAL COMPETitor The European walnut situation will be explained by Dr. L. D. Batchelor of the citrus experiment station, University of California, at the annual meeting of the Orange county farm bureau walnut department. According to announcement from J. A. Smiley, chair. FIFTH ANNUAL TOUR OF BUREAU RAYMOND ELLIS, Asst. Farm Advisor With 65 automobiles in line, occupied by 200 people, the farm bureau held its fifth annual tour to the citrus experiment station at Riverside on Friday, February 19. Each year this tour is conducted by the farm bureau and extension service of Orange county in order to acquaint the citrus growers of this section with the great work going on at the Riverside branch of the University of California. Gathering simultaneously at Olive and Placentia, the cars got under way promptly at 8 a.m. The two lines united at the Yorba bridge and proceeded to the Rubidoux station, which was reached at 9:30 a.m. Here they were met by members of the experiment station staff, led by Dr. H. J. Webber, director, and Dr. J. T. Barrett, resident director. Both made short talks and then the party was divided into six groups and, under the leadership of Dr. Barrett, Dr. Webber, Dr. Reed, Mr. Surr, Mr. Thomas and Dr. Kelly, they were taken to see the fertilizer experiments. These experiments have been under way since 1907 and show conclusively that organic matter is necessary for the proper functioning of citrus trees. The plots also show that certain commercial fertilizers, such as sodium nitrate, are very detrimental to trees when used over a period of years without the addition of organic matter. Nitrate of lime seemed to show the best results. The growers were next taken to view some plots being carried on by Dr. Haas in the overcoming of chlorosis. These experiments are not yet completed, but are showing considerable promise in overcoming this condition. After hearing Dr. Kelly for a few minutes, the people then traveled to the main station on the Box Springs grade for lunch. Immediately after lunch, the gathering passed a resolution in favor of continuing the fertilizer FOREIGN WALNUT REAL COMPETITOR The European walnut situation will be explained by Dr. L. D. Batchelor of the citrus experiment station, University of California, at the annual meeting of the Orange county farm bureau walnut department. According to announcement from J. A. Smiley, chairman of the department, the data has been set for Saturday afternoon. March 10 at the Tuslin high school. The program will start at 1:30 p.m. sharp. Dr. Batchelor has just returned from an extensive trip throughout the European walnut growing countries. He has a most instructive and informative lecture on his observations, accompanied by stereopticon views and motion pictures. About 100 Orange county growers heard him at the Santa Paula meeting and urged him to come to this country in order that those at home may hear the lecture. Batchelor says: "California is facing a real competition by the European production. They are delivering to New York uniform graded, bleached nuts comparing very favorably with ours." The Frenchmen are introducing modern methods of dehydration and bleaching." Chairman J. A. Smiley will bring a collection of European walnuts from the association. In order that local growers may see the product with their own eyes. STUDY MARKETS FOR PERSIMMON The executive committee of the Southern California persimmon growers' department will meet in the Los Angeles farm bureau offices next Friday to start an investigation into better methods of marketing persimmons. Through the offices of the farm advisor, Dr. H. E. Erdman, division of rural economics, University of California, has been secured to assist the committee in its efforts to improve distribution of the persimmon, which is growing in volume very rapidly. New acreage is coming into bearing and more acreage is being set out. Growers are realizing that the present loose methods of selling are insufficient for the larger production coming in. The Orange county representatives at the regional meeting include; George Sherwood, chairman; Arthur McFadden, vice-chairman; Ernest Watson, secretary, and H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. Up to this time Pat Harrison and Cordell Hull have failed to pin the blame for the anthracite strike on to the Fordney-McCumber tariff law. POULTRYMEN ON INSPECTION TOUR Poultrymen of the county are invited to attend a tour arranged by the agricultural extension service to observe poultry brooding practices as employed by successful poultrymen. An attempt has been made in making the itinerary of the day to schedule stops at ranches using different types of brooders, so that new poultrymen attending may have the opportunity of selecting that system which best meets their conditions. Undoubtedly there will be many new poultrymen make the trip and many establishse dpoultrymen as well who are anxious to keep abreast of the times, to see what the other fellow is doing. R. B. Easson, extension specialist in poultry, of the University of California, will be present to speak about and answer questions on poultry brooding. The assembly will gather at Block's poultry ranch, Costa Mesa, at 9:30 a.m. Lunch will be eaten at Hewes park, El Modena, by those who take lunches. D. E. Huff is extending his cordial hospitality by providing coffee, cream and sugar for the crowd. The day's program will be concluded early in the afternoon to permit time to return home for evening chores. Death Overtakes Clinton A.

The Orange county representatives at the regional meeting include: George Sherwood, chairman; Arthur McFadden, vice-chairman; Ernest Watson, secretary; and H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. Up to this time Pat Harrison and Cordell Hull have failed to pin the blame for the anthracite strike on to the Fordney-McCumber tariff law. Death Overtakes Clinton A. Griggs Clinton A. Griggs died at his home on South Los Angeles street, Friday morning. Mr. Griggs fell dead while dressing on rising from his bed. He was 60 years of age and had been a resident of Anaheim 15 years, coming here from Vancouver, B.C.

Son of Zorro," will be the feature film attraction at the West Coast California theater, Anaheim, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week. West Bros. Have Up-to-Date Shop One of Best Vulcanizing and Retreading Plants in County During a recent discussion with F. G. West of West Brothers, we learn that they now have one of the most up-to-date vulcanizing and retreading departments in Orange county. They have a vulcanizer who has had about 17 years' experience, and he will turn out nothing but first-class work. West Brothers will be glad to have anyone drop in at any time and have you look over their equipment, and are glad to show you just how their work is done. In the first place, every carcass is thoroughly inspected in their Kehawke tire spreader, and they are sure that the carcass is in condition to be retread before they accept it for work to be done. With this thorough inspection they know that their work will do what they guarantee it to do—10,000 miles of service. They give a written guarantee for 10,000 miles on their retreads, and nothing but the very best of rubber goes into the tires they turn out. West Brothers also have an up-to-date section mold and are able to do neat sections in any tire, no matter what size or tread. With their Hawkinson repair system they can make repairs on a tire that will outlast the tire. The work is all done from inside of the tire and cannot be detected from the outside. With such a department in Anaheim, much waste can be done away with, for the tires that would otherwise be thrown away can, in most cases, be fixed so that they will give many extra miles of service. If you have any carcasses that you have stored away, take them to West Brothers and they will allow you a good price for them, if they are fit for retreading. West Brothers are India distributors situated at Los Angeles and Chestnut streets, Anaheim. WOMEN'S REPUBLICAN CLUBS BOARD MEETING Mrs. Nellie E. Terry attended the meeting of the executive board of the Republican Clubs Women's Federation of California in San Bernardino on Tuesday. Mrs. Terry, who was appointed some time ago as Orange county federation president by Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, president of the southern division, is also founder and president of the Anaheim Republican Study club. At the San Bernardino meeting plans were begun for the annual convention, which will be held in that city in October. Mrs. Terry was appointed a member of the program committee. After the meeting the ladies were shown over the orange show as guests of the management, receiving every courtesy by those in charge. Board of Directors Incorporates Fair The action taken by the board of directors to incorporate the Orange county fair was approved by the guarantors who assembled at the meeting in Orange, February 23. Plans for the 1926 fair were discussed to some length and the organization of the incorporation was furthered by those present subscribing for $600 worth of membership in the new organization. It is proposed that this new organization will finance the 1926 fair and purchase from the old association the fair equipment which it holds on hand. The meeting followed a supper given by the Women's Club of Orange, and among the plans discussed for the coming fair it was stated that a new pageant had been written and that Mrs. J. V. Kelsey was arranging for its production during the fair. A. M. Blanding was unanimously elected to take charge of the floricultural exhibit. It was decided to have musical entertainments in the larger tents and, in addition to the use of the local band, the Shell orchestra of Long Beach was employed. Perhaps one of the most important decisions of the meeting was that the livestock exhibit should be thrown open to the world. Horticultural and agri- comes the added announcement that this famous screen star has, for the time being at least, stepped out of his historic roles and will be seen in this new photoplay as the romantic adventurer, winning the plaudits of the theater world with his inimitable athletic prowess. "Don Q. Son of Zorro" is not a screen adaptation of the famous Cervantes classic, "Don Quixote," as many people believe; it is a screen version of the love story, "Don Q's Love Story," from the pen of K. and Heaketh Pritchard. This picture is said to have everything in it that has made Douglas Fairbanks' productions so uniformly popular—appealing romance, melodrama, high adventure and mystifying intrigue. In the production of the picture Fairbanks has surrounded himself with a strong cast of characters that includes Mary Astor, Jack McDonald and many other well-known screen stars. The comedy feature on this bill is supplied by an Acsop Fable, "Felix on the Job," and the bill is completed by an International Newsreel. Far North Film Comes To California Theater "The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes," in the Aleutian peninsula of Alaska, covered with thousands of steam and sulphur springs; wonderful scenes of ice and snow and burning volcanos supply the background for "Justice of the Far North," the feature film to be shown at the West Coast California theater, Anaheim, Friday and Saturday. This is a story of the frozen north, the home of thrills and romance. It required eight months to make this picture and the company was forced to travel 9000 miles to make it. Norman Dawn directed the production. He is said to be the first man to make a film of this wonderful volcanic valley. Critics who have viewed this production have said "Justice of the Far North" is realistic in every detail and classes with the best pictures of the day. One feature of particular interest is the personal appearance of what is termed Alaska's largest dog—The Pride of Alaska. This is the same dog that appeared at Grauman's theater in "The Gold Rush." "Hotsy-Totsy" is the comedy feature and with an Acsop table, "Closer Than a Brother," completes the film attraction. In addition to the screen features, the California will present five acts of high class vaudeville.

All Sto Talbert Offers Prize For Big Registration An appeal for full registration has been urged by many representative organizations. T. B. Talbert, believing it the duty of every one to register, has offered a prize of $50 to the American Legion post in Orange county which secures the registering of the greatest percentage of voters, using last year's register as a basis. The exact details of the award will be outlined by a special committee to be appointed in a few days, when complete plans of the award will be announced. At the present time it is sufficient to state that as chairman of the board of supervisors of Orange county, Mr. Talbert has the welfare and best interests of the county at heart and desires every citizen entitled to register to do so, so that it may be said that all Orange county citizens are alive to their duties as well as to their advantages. CENTRAL P.T. A. Miss Dudizilla Mackey will be the principal speaker at the Central Parent-Teacher association Tuesday evening, March 2. Her subject will be, "Teaching Social Welfare and Americanization Work Among the Mexicans." Miss Mackey has taught and lived with the Mexicans for many years, and will therefore have many interesting things to say, to those present next Tuesday. All members are urged to attend. It is said that New York City uses more electric current than a dozen European countries with 112,000,000 people. No wonder it so often shocks the rest of the country.

Blanche Sweet In Why Women Love Gift Night—Wednesday Woman Files Suit Against Official Public Administrator Sued for Failure to Convey Property Suit for $5000 damages has been filed in superior court by Mrs. Vera P. Wettlin of Orange against Public Administrator Charles D. Brown, as administrator of the Harrell E. Williams estate at Huntington Beach, for Brown's alleged failure to convey title to two lots at Huntington Beach to Mrs. Wettlin, as directed by court order in 1921. The estate has now lost title to the lots as a result, the Wettlin complaint alleges, of Brown permitting the heir to the estate to encumber the lots with an oil lease. Because Brown is said to be now in a position where he cannot comply with the court order to deed the lots to Mrs. Wettlin, she asks judgment for $5000 damages, representing the alleged value of the lots, $4800, together with $200 expenses incurred by the court proceedings. According to the complaint on file, the Williams estate was probated and the court, at that time, directed the administrator to convey the lots to Mrs. Wettlin on condition that she pay $607.58. The sum was subsequently tendered to the administrator, but Brown, according to the complaint, "failed and refused" to execute the conveyance. Still later, it is alleged, title to the property passed from the estate. Mrs. Wettlin is represented in the damage suit by her husband, Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin, and Attorney B. E. Tarver of Santa Ana. reopening of E ARK East Center street MAY, FEB. 25th nee's Sale Reduction on Any New All Stock Must Be Closed Out Reduction on Any New All Stock Must Be Closed Out Goods, Dishes, Hardware Store, Furniture, Cutlery S, Musical Goods Sales Too Numerous to Mention On Any Used Article In The Store E ARK ANAHEIM, Calif. or whole of stock and fixtures.
