Discuss Methods of Financing Society Crippled Children's Relief Association Holds Meeting Ways and means for financing operations of the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange County for the balance of the calendar year were discussed at the regular monthly meeting held Friday afternoon, at the Anaheim Elks Club. It was brought out in reports covering the activities of the association that there is a constant demand for service, new applications being continuously received from desistute families. In addition to furnishing braces and artificial limbs, amounting in value to $149.50 for the month of July, the association was called upon to furnish free transportation to patients undergoing treatment at hospital clinics. In some cases, it also was necessary to provide milk for undernourished children. Harry D. Riley, president of the organization, presided. Reports showing the need of sustained activities outside aid until such time as the public health authorities take over the problem were read by Mrs. Frances W. Renner and Mrs. William T. Wallop of Anaheim. Acting upon the recommendations contained in these reports, the directors voted to accept a number of new cases. Mrs. Fay R. Spangler, president of the Santa Ana City Federation of California Congress of Parents and Teachers, was elected director of the associatin, to succeed Carl F. Leonard of Anaheim, who resigned some time ago, upon being elected a member of the city council. The report of Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, field superintendent in charge of relief work, showed 31 cases under treatment. Miss Grace Bailey, secretary, reported that a formal application for participation in the Santa Ana Community Chest has been forwarded to the secretary of chest organization. Veterans to Organize Non-Partisan League Orange County Ex-Service Men Form Organization Following several weeks of organization, the Veterans' Non-Partisan Association of Orange County now is ready to function and already has started work, according to a statement made by M. B. Wellington, Santa Ana attorney, who is permanent chairman of the organization. Purposes of the organization were announced after a meeting of the executive committee, held Friday night, and are as follows: 1. To effect a permanent continuing organization of all men and women in Orange county, California, who have given honorable service in time of war in any of the military or naval forces of the United States, and to include, as members of the association, the mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of such persons. 2. To urge upon all such persons the duties they owe to the principals of democracy to exercise the principals of their voting franchise. 3. To give publicity and support to those service and state plans and measures believed to be in accord with and in furtherance of the principles and constitutions of ex-service men's organizations. 4. To indorse no candidate for office, but, on the contrary, to urge upon all members the duty they owe their country in personally investigating the fitness and qualifications of candidates and, having reached a decision, to follow the dictates of their own mind. The Veterans' Non-Partisan Association executive committee indorsed the $20,000,000 bond issue on the ballot for the building of homes for ex-service men and will ask the organization, as a whole, to support it. The bond issue is proposition No. 1 on the ballot. The Swing-Johnson bill also was indorsed, and the adoption of it will be live to be 150, and among tions toward that goal we rubber automobiles. Mrs. Fay R. Spangler, president of the Santa Ana City Federation of California Congress of Parents and Teachers, was elected director of the association to succeed Carl F. Leonard of Anaheim, who resigned some time ago, upon being elected a member of the city council. The report of Mrs. Gertrude Crowell, field superintendent in charge of relief work, showed 31 cases under treatment. Miss Grace Bailey, secretary, reported that a formal application for participation in the Santa Ana Community Chest has been forwarded to the secretary of chest organization. The urgent need of greater clinical facilities, combined with educational opportunities, in the care and treatment of crippled children, was stressed by President Riley. Quoting from data collected by the California Rotary clubs bearing upon the situation, he said that much of the illness and physical defect among the population does not at present receive proper attention, that public interest requires better service in this line, and that more clinics, supported by public funds, are the most effective means. From the point of view of cost to the community, Riley explained, facts are available which indicate that uncared-for physical defect is one of the prime causes of shortened life, diminished economic efficiency, and increased dependency, and that the cost of adequate medical care for many defects, involving the purchase of expensive braces, is beyond the means of a large number of families. County Treasury In Efficient Hands Joplin's Annual Expense Account Shows Economy During the fiscal year ending June 30, County Treasurer Joplin added $44,-079.58 to the county's revenues in the form of interest collected on county funds deposited with banks. This is considered an exceptionally good showing. The close of the year found a surplus of $2,627,926.56 in the hands of Mr. Joplin. This is an increase of half a million dollars over the previous year. While Mr. Joplin's office, which receives, disburses and safeguards the funds, is one of the most important branches of the county's government, under his efficient management it has cost the taxpayers much less money than any of the other principal departments. The following figures represent the cost during the fiscal year of each of the most important offices: Office—Expenditures Sheriff ... $31,230.30 Clerk ... 26,132.65 Recorder ... 34,110.19 Treasurer ... 9,379.23 Assessor ... 36,208.23 Tax collector ... 28,606.53 Auditor ... 13,476.03 *Superior courts ... 11,378.57 Justice courts ... 16,202.48 *State pays half of salaries. 4. To indorse no candidate for office, but, on the contrary, to urge upon all members the duty they owe their country in personally investigating the fitness and qualifications of candidates and, having reached a decision, to follow the dictates of their own mind. The Veterans' Non-Partisan Association executive committee indorsed the $20,000,000 bond issue on the ballot for the building of homes for ex-service men and will ask the organization, as a whole, to support it. The bond issue is proposition No. 1 on the ballot. The Swing-Johnson bill also was indorsed, and the adoption of it will be asked by the executive committee of the main body. Plans are being made for the holding of an open meeting in the Santa Ana American Legion hall on the night of August 24, at which time all candidates for local offices will be invited and allowed time in which to address the members of the organization. Approximately 400 voters will be present at the meeting, and it will be one of the final opportunities of the candidates to put their cause before the people of Santa Ana and Orange county. Each speaker will be allowed three minutes and fines will be levied against those who overrun their time, Colonel Wellington said. Especially significant is the statement that while-the increase in the number of our wage earners in ten years was 27 per cent, the increase in the output of our factories was 60 per cent. The increase is becoming greater all the time, and must be surprising to the old-time free tradetheorist who told us that a protective tariff by cutting off foreign competition encouraged waste and inefficiency at home. Mr. Joplin is conducting the af like methods, and has added $44,000 this year in interest from banks to funds. The amount of money on cost the taxpayers much less money than any of the other principal departments. The following figures represent the cost during the fiscal year of each of the most important offices: Office—Expenditures Sheriff $31,230.39 Clerk 26,132.55 Recorder 34,110.19 Treasurer 9,379.23 Assessor 36,208.23 Tax collector 28,606.53 Auditor 13,476.03 *Superior courts 11,378.57 Justice courts 16,202.48 *State pays half of salaries. The fact that Orange county's treasury, which handles and safeguards all the public funds, receives more than seven million dollars a year from vrious sources and disburses nearly as much, pays thousands of warrants during the year, including salaries of all the officials, collects interest to the amount of nearly $50,000 on the surplus from banks, at a total cost to the county of only $9379, is a substantial reason why the man at the head of this department should be kept on the job. Authorized Publicly. Sam Jernigan Has Made Fine Record Sam Jernigan, who is asking re-election as sheriff of Orange county, has made a fine record during his first term. It has been a record of economical management and strict application to duty. In fact, he has so strictly attended to the duties of the office that some of his friends complain that he has neglected them, but he felt that his duties were to the public and not social, so he has been to some extent deplied the pleasure of meeting his friends as often as he would like to. But when it comes to attention to business, nothing has been neglected. His long experience as a police officer and as sheriff equips him for the place he now fills. The county benefits from such a service as he renders. And that's the kind of a public official the taxpayers want. You can vaccinate and head off almost any epidemic except meddling. The old-fashioned woman who used to relax into a sunbonnet and mother-hubbard wrapper at sixty, now gets her face lifted, cuts off three inches of her skirt and hops to it.

How Power is Made from Water Some people have a notion that power companies do something to affect the water in mountain streams when they make power out of it. Nothing could be further from the fact. Water, falling from one level to another may be made to turn a wheel. If a generator is attached to the wheel you have hydro (water)-electric power. Having turned the wheel, the stream goes on its way unchanged in quality and undiminished in volume. It is no more affected than the air which operates a windmill.

Having turned the wheel, the stream goes on its way unchanged in quality and undiminished in volume. It is no more affected than the air which operates a windmill. The power companies do not own any water. They merely have permission to extract the power which otherwise would be wasted. When water is used, oil and coal are saved and the public benefits from this conservation. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Owned by Those it Serves y Treasurer C.

H. G. Ames, of Anaheim, is a candidate for one of these two full terms. He is in the prime of life—48 years old. He has been a resident of Orange County for 39 years, and was educated in its public schools. He has practiced law continuously in Orange County for 24 years. Four years as Deputy District Attorney afforded him an opportunity to become familiar with criminal law and procedure. As City Attorney of Anaheim, he served for 11 years—from 1911 to 1922—during the period of its greatest civic advancement, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in securities of that City were issued in numerous improvement proceedings and bond issue successfully handled by him; and in addition to his public service, he has enjoyed a large civil practice for many years and has handled a large volume of litigation.

His services as Judge of the Superior Court have met with the universal approval of the bar and the public generally. During his term upon the bench he has acted as Judge of the Juvenile Court, and in dealing with juvenile offenders he has sought to correct and reform rather than to punish.

He has been here long enough to see the Santa Ana river full of water; he has seen dry years and wet years, and knows their bearing on property values. Long residence in the County is a necessary foundation for making a fair assessment. He hasn't been bluffed by big interests. Oil companies and big ranch owners cannot cave him down. They've tried it. He's been sued in court by oil company interests in an effort to break down his assessment of oil properties, and they've failed to shake him. Are you going to help them get rid of him now? He has employed, as rancher, hundreds of men, and has the loyalty of every man of them. Why? Because he's on the square with everybody. He is the only County Assessor in the State who mails to ex-service men or the widows of ex-service men an exemption to be claimed each year—this is done to call their attention to the same. Folks of Orange County: Are you going to fire a man like that out of office just to give a newcomer a job? Answer the question at the primaries, August 31, by voting for him.
