Los Alamitos News (By DORA H. MARTIN) Mesdames George Watts, James Watts, E. L. Jones, J. C. Canfield, E. L. Johns and George Martin attended the district convention of Women's Clubs at Fullerton on Wednesday of last week. A Mr. Walters of Long Beach is opening a drug store in the brick building, corner of Green street and the boulevard, formerly occupied by the real estate office of the Rush P. Green Company. The company is moving into the storeroom south of the former office. The south room of the building is occupied by L. W. Robb, with a complete line of groceries and provisions, while J. P. Fleming of Bellflower will open a feed store in one of the storerooms fronting on Green street. The hour of the mid-week meeting at the community church has been changed from 8 to 7:30 o'clock. Mrs. George Martin joined a number of the members of Artesia chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, in a visit to the Masonic Children's Home at Covina on Sunday, carrying with them the chapter's yearly donation of fruit and jelly. Mr. and Mrs. Jewell Reed of Tustin spent Sunday with Mrs. Reed's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Dosas. Mrs. W. D. Yonce of Bellflower was the dinner guest of Mrs. George Watts on Friday. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Marshall of Huntington Beach were in Los Alamitos on Thursday. H. T. O'Connor, postmaster of Los Alamitos, and Mrs. Anna Collier of Seal Beach were hosts on Thursday evening to the Orange County Postmasters' Association. The guests were entertained at the clubhouse, and a 7:30 o'clock committee from the Church Society served a five-course dinner about twenty-five guests were present. Citrus Growers Want Orange County School Before adjourning the extension school held last week at Fullerton, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and division of sub-tropical horticulture, a resolution was drawn up by the group assembled, asking the president of the University of Zone. This will average about nine feet. Ondeep soils a twelve or fifteen-foot penetration may be necessary, while on the shallow sandy areas four to six feet may answer the purpose. In any case, the grower should try to determine the average depth of his walnut roots and irrigate accordingly. The soil auger should be used to find how deep the water is actually going. LEGION NOTES Warning all posts of the California department of the American Legion to rout from their respective communities fake vendors posing as World war veterans selling articles of wear, post cards, etc., to raise funds to send disabled veterans to France for the 1927 national convention of the organization. State Adjutant James K. Fisk has just sent a call to his posts, urging them to enlist the aid of the police authorities throughout the state to aid the Legion in getting rid of these imposters. "The American Legion has no solicitors in the field for anything." Adjutant Fisk declares in his warning. "I urge those who are solicited for contributions to help veterans go to the Paris convention next year, to advise the local Legion Post and the chief of police at once, so that we may put a stop to this imposition." "Community Service by the American Legion in California" is to be the subject of the address which State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the California department of the World war veterans' organization will give on November 30, at the conference of the national heads of the Legion, to be held at Indianapolis, Ind. The Legion officials will meet in an annual gathering to discuss the work of the organization and to outline plans for the continuation of the rehabilitation, community service, child welfare work and other activities of the Legion. Compensation Loans—Brigadier General Frank T. Hines, director, United States Veterans' Bureau, announces that there are approximately 2,853,000 adjusted service certificates with a face value of $2,975,000,000, which will be available in 1927 for deposit at collateral security for loans. The total loan value which will become available during the year 1927 is approximately Fish and Gear Dr. H. C. Bryan California Fish and bureau of research centrally rendered in Wardens C. L.

Patrol Captain Citrus Growers Want Orange County School Before adjourning the extension school held last week at Fullerton, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and division of subtropical horticulture, a resolution was drawn up by the group assembled, asking the president of the University of California and the dean of the college of agriculture to provide a similar school for Orange County next year. George Kellogg, Yorba Linda, introduced the resolution, saying that "the information presented during the week by the extension and university staff would save the growers attending thousands of dollars and at the same time build up the quantity and quality production of their groves." Other growers who spoke enthusiastically of the school were P. H. Krick of Anaheim, S. W. McColloch of Placentia, Dr. S. S. Twombly of Fullerton, C. N. Cummings of El Modona, John Adams of Orange, and many others. The interest in the course was displayed by the continued attendance of those enrolled every day during the week. The resolution addressed to Dr. W. W. Campbell, president of the University of California, and Dr. E. D. Merrill, dean of the college of agriculture, reads: "Whereas we citrus growers of Orange county, now assembled at the Fullerton Union high school, having a registered attendance of 188, the largest daily attendance for any extension school for citrus growers ever held in the state, and "Whereas, we feel that this school has been of inestimable value to us and to the citrus industry of Orange county. "Be It Resolved that we express our appreciation to the college of agriculture, University of California, for having made plans for such a school to be held in Orange county, and "Further, that we express our appreciation to the professors of the department of agriculture, University of California, and the agricultural extension service for their valuable assistance, their time and patience in presenting this valuable information to us in such an interesting manner, and "Be It Further Resolved that we invite and ask the University of California, department of agriculture, to have a similar school in Orange county next year." Walnut Irrigation Considered Timely By H. E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor With the 1926 harvest over in most groves and pruning well along, we are thinking to think of making preparations for the 1927 crop. The most important orchard detail is consider following pruning is that of irrigation.

Compensation Loans—Brigadier General Frank T. Hines, director, United States Veterans' Bureau, announces that there are approximately 2,833,000 adjusted service certificates with a face value of $2,975,000,000, which will be available in 1927 for deposit at collateral security for loans. The total loan value which will become available during the year 1927 is approximately $62,540,000. The average amount that may be obtained by veterans during 1927 on the security of certificates that have been in force two years or more is approximately 8½ cents for each $1 for the face value of the certificate. Loans may be made to the veterans by any bank or trust company, incorporated under the laws of any state, territory, possession or the District of Columbia, but loans cannot be made to the veterans by the United States Veterans' Bureau. It is of the utmost importance therefore, that all applications for loans be presented to a bank or trust company and not to the bureau or any of its agencies. The director sincerely hopes the veteran will not exercise the loan privilege to any appreciable extent since it will be much more advantageous to the veteran or his beneficiary to hold his certificate unencumbered to the date of its maturity. California has been allotted approximately 1100 reservations in the second American Expeditionary Force invasion of France to take place next year, when the American Legion's national convention will be held at Paris. Word has been received by Dr. John F. Slavich, state commander of the Legion, that housing available in Paris for the convention week definitely limits the number which may be taken care of to 30,000 Legionnaires. Each state has been given its quota and no reservations will be provided for after May 15, 1927. George J. Hatfield, United States Attorney for northern California, is the California representative on the "Onto-Paris" convention committee. The board of supervisors of Butte county have examined plans for the construction of a $73,000 memorial building at Chico to honor the men and women who served in the World war and other conflicts participated in by the United States. A CHECK FROM UNCLE SAM Victor Browning has the distinction of having received the smallest check from Uncle Sam that has been so far reported in this section. Victor paid his income tax and inadvertently made his check one cent greater than it actually should have been. Promptly there came a letter to him from the revenue collector, containing a check for one cent, which at first he thought he would have framed and hung up on... Walnut Irrigation Considered Timely By H. E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor With the 1926 harvest over in most groves and pruning well along, we are training to think of making preparations for the 1927 crop. The most important orchard dotall is consider following pruning is that of irrigation. The close relation of winter irrigation to a good fruit set in walnuts has been repeatedly demonstrated in practically all the principal walnut growing sections of the south. Just now the soil substrata are the driest of any period during the year. Recent soil borings indicate that the moisture content of soil from the third to the tenth foot level in many walnut groves is about the wilting point. As an illustration of this condition, a 12-foot excavation was recently made at the J. A. Smiley ranch, West Orange, for the installation of an underground storage tank for oil. The cross-section of the soil strata penetrated exhibited a decidedly dry condition from the fourth foot level to the bottom of the excavation. Moisture from a recent irrigation for the orange orchard had penetrated four feet. The soil below this was so dry that blasting powder was used to loosen the balance for easy shoveling. Walnut roots present in dry solls, particularly at this time of the year, cannot properly function to supply the necessary nutrients to build up fruit buds that have been forming during the late summer months. If the buds are supplied with proper moisture requirements during the so-called dormant season, they will be more vigorous and healthy when the main stream flow of sap opens up in the spring. Vigorous buds insure a better setting of fruit than weak buds, other conditions being equal. When applying the winter irrigation, it is essential to get a penetration through the entire depth of the root A CHECK FROM UNCLE SAM Victor Browning has the distinction of having received the smallest check from Uncle Sain that has been so far reported in this section. Victor paid his income tax, and inadvertently made his check one cent greater than it actually should have been. Promptly there came a letter to him from the revenue collector, containing a check for one cent, which at first he thought he would have framed and hung up on the wall. But if this check from the government was small, his checks from oranges raised on his fine grove on Brookshurat avenue are large and getting larger every year. Victor was in town a day or two ago, says his trees are looking well and he will have another very good crop the coming year. ROADHOUSE HELD UP BY BURGLARS Following a sensational holdup of Eddie's Barbecue roadhouse, half way between Anaheim and Fullerton, by three armed men at 11:30 o'clock Friday night, Fullerton police arrested Jack Charaton, Fullerton, and are holding him in the county jail for investigation. According to a report of the holdup made to officers by O. C. Bortz, proprietor of the place, the three men drove to his place in an automobile and kept him covered with a shotgun while the cash register was robbed of approximately $45 in cash. A woman, passing the place, during the time the bandits were staging the holdup, is said to have identified one of the men. She reported her beliefs to the police, who are investigating. After securing the money, the bandits calmly walked from the barbecue stand and drove away in their car. Do you remember the good old days when the women had enough hair to have a genuine hairpulling once in a while? Fish and Game Notes Dr. H. C. Bryant, director of the California Fish and Game Commission's bureau of research and education, recently rendered invaluable service to Wardens C. L. Bundock and E. R. Caldwell, when he identified 17 non-game birds found in the possession of a game law violator at a Broadway cafe in San Francisco. Twelve of the birds were identified as white-crowned sparrows, four as goldfinches, two as western meadowlarks, and one as a California towhee. Feathers and skulls of the birds proved the birds' identities. Police Judge J. M. Golden assessed a fine of $25. Bird feathers also played an important part in a case before Justice W. H. Rice of Modesto. Warden George Maglady arrested a man for having quail in his possession on information of the man who saw the shooting. When he arrived at the home of the violator he found only a few feathers. When he ascertained for certain that they were those of the California quail and told the violator of his decision, a plea of guilty was entered. Judge Rice said: "Flirty dollars." The violator paid. Justice George Golden of Fort Bragg, assessed a fine of $250 against a violator caught by Warden Ovid Holmes fishing with a gill net in district No. 24, and having an over-limit of salmon. Justice Golden also fined the master of a ship caught by Holmes in the act of pumping blige water, impregnated with oil, into Fort Bragg harbor; $300. This is the highest fine for this offense on record this year. Justice F. J. Kalber of Rio Vista recently assessed a fine of $50 against a Walnut Grove citizen taken by Wardens W. J. Black and R. L. Sinkey with two six-inch striped bass and fishing without a license. Justice J. M. Hoesch of Gilroy fined a Santa Clara man with six robins in his possession $150. A Morgan Hill citizen with five robins paid $100 before Justice Hoesch. Warden C. E. Holland made the arrests in both these cases. Justice M. T. Vaughn of Santa Rosa fined a man charged by Patrol Captain Henry Lencloni and Warden Victor von Arx with having killed one tree squirrel $60. Patrol Captain K. P. Allred and Automobile Notes California cities system of handling traffic may be adopted in all parts of the country, according to reports reaching the legal department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This is indicated by letters from many municipalities of the nation making inquiries regarding the uniform traffic ordinance which is being generally adopted in Southern California and gradually coming into use in the cities of northern California. Standardizing traffic regulations in this section began last January, when the club published a proposed universal traffic ordinance which was based largely on the Los Angeles regulations. This uniform act, which regulates pedestrian and motor traffic, fundamentally is the same wherever adopted. It has been placed in operation in Glendale, Bakerfield, Anaheim, San Bernardino, Delano, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Colton, Ventura, Calexico and Santa Monica. It is being given consideration by police departments and city councils in Whittier, Oxnard, Long Beach, Inglewood, El Segundo, Hawthorne, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Tujunga, El Monte, Ramona, Compton and Santa Paula. In the northern part of the state Santa Clara has adopted the ordinance, and San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton have it under consideration. In that district the California State Automobile Association and the women's division of the California Development Association are fostering the uniform law and urging its general adoption. As the proposed uniform traffic law is working out well in California cities where it is adopted, it is believed that many cities in other states will follow the lead and that eventually the traffic ordinance originating in California will be known to the authorities of Maine or Florida as well as it is to the natives of the Golden State. While the charge frequently has been made that the automobile has promoted romance and smoothed the pathway for lovers seeking solitude, it also has destroyed romance, according to information received by the club. This modern form of transportation has invaded the country once ruled by King Tut. Advices from Egypt state that the camel, the romantic transport- W. J. Black and R. L. Sinkey with two six-inch striped bass and fishing without a license. Justice J. M. Hoesch of Gilroy fined a Santa Clara man with six robins in his possession $150. A Morgan Hill citizen with five robins paid $100 before Justice Hoesch. Warden C. E. Holladay made the arrests in both these cases. Justice M. T. Vaughn of Santa Rosa fined a man charged by Patrol Captain Henry Lencloul and Warden Victor von Arx with having killed one tree squirrel $60. Patrol Captain K. P. Allred and Warden McHerson Lough received information that a crab bootleger was leaving Eureka with an autoload of crustaceans, bound for San Francisco. They phoned Warden John H. Hellard of Willitts. When the contraband carrying car reached that place, Hellard nabbed the driver. Justice E. M. Whitney of Willitts assessed a fine of $180 or 180 days in jail. At last reports the violator was still in jail. He has in his automobile 20 sacks containing 480 crabs. "California justices are, for the most part, doing their duty in a loyal way toward the conservation of the state's wild life. We certainly appreciate their work," said B. D. Marx Greene, executive officer and attorney for the commission, recently. Coach Howard Jones and Coach Knute Rockne, whose teams meet in Los Angeles, December 4, in the Southern California-Notre Dame game, have met only once before in their careers. This was in 1921, when Jones' Iowa team beat the Irish 10-7. The finer points of Bank of America service consist of more than merely accepting deposits, paying out money or making loans.

This modern form of transportation has invaded the country once ruled by King Tut. Advices from Egypt state that the camel, the romantic transportation in that ancient land for thousands of years, is being supplanted by the motor vehicle. Within the shadow of the famous sphinx of Egypt there are 1003 motor busses serving the population which formerly depended upon the camel. There are 8831 private cars, 4233 taxis and 1533 trucks in the land of Moses, according to the latest report from the United States trade commissioner: However, the camel and donkey still retain their status as the leading means of travel across the desert area. More automobile tourists entered Southern California during the first ten months of this year than during all of last year, according to a report of the touring bureau of the club. Since no check is made on cars coming by way of the Pacific highway routes, the obviously large total of machines that come from other states over these roads can only be estimated.

BANK OF AMERICA COMMERCIAL—SAVINGS—TRUST Head Office, 752 South Broadway ANAHEIM BRANCH E. E. SMITH, MANAGER HOMECOMING AT U. S. C. With Buron Pitts, newly elected lieutenant-governor, as the head of the homecoming committee, the graduates and students of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles are preparing for three big days of festivities for their third annual homecoming program. The three days of festivities on the Southern California campus are December 2, 3, and 4, and will terminate with the season's football classic, Trojans vs. Notre Dame. Fitts, who is being assisted by an alumni and student committee headed by Lee Conti, is arranging an extensive program that will include dances, rallies, luncheons, dinners, smokers, alumni reunions, parades and the big football game. This is the third annual event being held by the University of Southern California. The Los Angeles institution held their first reunion in 1925, when the Trojans met the University of Syracuse. List year's event was held when the University of Iowa came west. This year Southern California will enter the Notre Dame varsity as the homecoming guests. Ten thousand members of the alumni association throughout the United States will gather on the campus for the three days of festivities. "Home Again to Win Again" has been adopted by Mr. Fitts' committee as the official slogan. A great many graduates residing in this community have already signified their intentions of returning to their Alma Mater for the homecoming events. Now that the election is over, its time to commence to talk about doing our Christmas shopping early.
