Liquor Cases Now In Federal Court Accused Men Plead Not Guilty or Fail to Appear An additional step in the prosecution of eight men alleged to have participated in the theft of some 140 cases of liquor from the county courthouse in 1925 was taken in Los Angeles Monday afternoon, when two men entered pleas of not guilty, two others asked for additional time in which to make pleas, and four men failed to appear for arraignment and plea before Federal Judge E. J. Henning. Claude Williams, former federal prisoner in the county jail, who is free on $10,000 bail in connection with the Orange county rum scandal, and Walter South, mentioned as a rum-runner, both pleaded not guilty. Orlo Hobbs, Orange, and Herbert Eldred, Santa Ana, through their attorney, former Judge Frank C. Drumm, were given until Friday to enter pleas. Judge Drumm told the court that he was not familiar with the indictment and asked for more time, which was granted. Charles P. Cross, Frank Ranger, W. E. Knowlton and Ray Wallace were not present when their names were called. Ranger, prominent Los Angeles club man, was said to be in Los Angeles, but has not been surrendered by his attorneys, it was said. Knowlton, a former prisoner in the county jail, is missing, as is Charles P. Cross. The non-appearance of Ray Wallace, Orange, who is free on bail, drew the ie of the court, who ordered a bench warrant for his arrest. Wallace is a former deputy sheriff here, who was named early in the investigation of the liquor theft. Following their pleas of not guilty, Williams and South were released on the bail they had already placed. South was not represented by attorney, but explained to the court that he was free on $10,000 bail. New high speed records have been set by the disposition of booths in the industrial section of the Orange County Fair. J. R. Hunt, manager, has announced the division is more than 80 per cent assigned. A keen demand is being experienced for the remaining booths in the show, which runs September 5 to 10, on the state highway north of Santa Ana. Gene Douglas, manager of the Orange County Builders' Exchange, has signed for a solid block of 18 booths just within the main entrance. Other large his attorneys, it was said. Knowlton, a former prisoner in the county jail, is missing, as is Charles P. Cross. The non-appearance of Ray Wallace, Orange, who is free on ball, drew the ie of the court, who ordered a bench warrant for his arrest. Wallace is a former deputy sheriff here, who was named early in the investigation of the liquor theft. Following their pleas of not guilty, Williams and South were released on the bail they had already placed. South was not represented by attorney, but explained to the court that he was free on $10,000 bail. With the non-appearance of Ranger, Knowlton, Cross and Wallace, their cases were continued until Friday, the time set for the pleas of Eldred and Hobbs. The cases of Maurice Fennibek, Ed McClellan, L. J. Heffner, and H. S. Warner, set for Monday morning before Judge Henning, were continued until next Monday morning. These men are charged with conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws. That the investigation into rum conditions in this county was by no means over and that agents were still working, was intimated by Louis J. Heffner, former state traffic officer. Heffner intimated that much more evidence would be placed before the federal grand jury, now in session, some of which would deal with the asserted disappearance of liquor which had been confiscated. KiB.IrenensE.00ester-yx Farmer Boys Going To Summer Camp There is much excitement among Orange County Agricultural Club boys as July 31 and the annual summer camp approaches. Since the very successful camp conducted at Camp Osceola last year, the boys have been looking forward to this year's camp with a great deal of pleasure. At the present time there are some forty boys and adult leaders signed up, with a few more probably coming in during the next two weeks. The camp can easily accommodate 75 boys, so that anyone wishing to go may still be assured of a place. This year's camp will have several features which will make it still more attractive than last year. In the first place, the camp will run for a full week, which gives the boys a chance to work into the swing of camp life, as well as giving time enough to play off a regular schedule of athletic events. There will also be time to hike to several places which could not be visited last year due to lack of time. Another attraction will be a special study of forestry and trees, to be conducted by Woodbridge Metcalf, extension forester for California. Mr. Metcalf is familiar with trees in all parts of the state, and will give the boys short talks at intervals during the week. With Mr. Metcalf from the university will also be W. R. Ralston, assistant state club leader, who is probably known and liked by more rural boys than any other one man in the state. New high speed records have been set by the disposition of booths in the industrial section of the Orange County Fair. J. R.

Gene Douglas, manager of the Orange County Builders' Exchange, has signed for a solid block of 18 booths just within the main entrance. Other large organizations are reported vieing for space in which the finest manufactured products of Orange county will be shown to an estimated audience of 140.- Boy Scouts Leave For Summer Camp Forty-Five Boys Go to San Bernardino Mountains Forty-five Boy Scouts of Orange county, forming the second section of the annual summer camp, left by motor trucks for Camp RoKILI. Seven Oaks San Bernardino mountains, for a two weeks' outing and camp life. The boys, drawn from various sections of the county, and belonging to different troops, carried with them their troop colors and full field equipment. On their arrival at RoKILI they will go into camp and take up prescribed outdoor activities, including biking, swimming, archery, games and contests of various kinds. Following are the names of the campers: Newell Berry, Russell White, Reed Dunfee, Edward Ewing, Edward Wiener, Harold Moody, Clifton Ray, Willfred G. Haigh and Herbert Preston, all of Huntington Beach; Earl Mersonhon, Newport Beach; Walter J. Martin, Stanley De Lancey, Henry St. John and Jack Leonard.

Ralston is a wonderful entertainer and has a great deal of success in conducting campfire programs. Any boy who misses these campfires will certainly miss a wonderful time. As said before, the camp will run for a week, starting July 31. The party will leave Santa Ana on Sunday morning, at 6:45 o'clock, returning home the following Saturday afternoon. SPROCK IS HERE AGAIN Rudolph Fossek, familiarly known as Sprock, is visiting in town with his father, having left his situation in Los Angeles for a few days outing. He started to learn the printing business in this office, thirty years ago, and after graduating with honors at the head of his class, set out to see the world. He traveled far and wide, and finally settled in Los Angeles, where he has been employed on the daily newspapers for many years. He is setting ads on the night shift, for an evening paper. He has been sizing up the town; finds everybody getting rich, and says he himself would be a wealthy man had he made investments here in the early days. He brings news that many of the old-time Los Angeles printers have hung up their last string and have crossed over into a better land. He hangs up a big string himself; sets a keen ad, and is one of the best journeymen in the city. He is 49 years old, has a wife and three children, and is rapidly rolling up a wad of the long green. It seems like yesterday that this little kid, hat in hand, came in asking to be taught the printers' trade. He was always a good little kid, and we hope the good Lord will bless him. All of us cannot get mountains named after us, but we can at least learn not to talk too much. Over-Production Is Wasting Oil Present wastage of oil which is going on through multiplied competitive drillings is not only an economic crime, but also a crime against the people of the United States as a whole. It is imaterial whether the potential oil resources of the country are equal to the demands for 5, 10 or 15 years. Geologists and experts are in constant controversy over this point, but all are agreed that at the best, no matter how large it may be, we have only a limited supply of oil and that its final exhaustion is as inevitable as sunset at the close of a day. The federal government, of itself, through its control of oil leases and similar mechanics, can of course curb in part the wasteful pumping of oil to the surface in excess of actual demands where it becomes subject to the loss by evaporation and destruction by fire and lightning. But the government has no power to restrain drillers who, despite present conditions, are still persistent on their rights to drill and pump. It is about time that the big men in the oil business—and no industry can show men of larger capacity and vision—take hold of this problem and handle it in the interest of the public. If they are entertaining the thought of asking Uncle Sam to use the big stick for the purpose of adjusting what should be a trade problem, their activities should be at once discouraged. Too often it happens that big business, which, when prosperous, grows red in the face over the prospect of governmental interference, once the title shows signs of turning, is the first to invoke the same governmental interference which it has previously traded against. Uncommon Deposit Of Manganese Found The presence of manganese minerals on the eastern and southern borders of the Olympic mountains, Washington, was known as early as 1912, when they were recognized in some copper prospects, but their possible value as a Display Booths Sell Speed for County Fair LEGION NOTES Governor C. C. Young heads the list of distinguished guests who have been invited by the state officials of the California American Legion to participate in the annual state convention of the World War Veterans organization at San Lorenzo August 1-4. The Governor has been asked to speak during the big conclave which has been arranged by the Santa Ana County citizens and citizens. Lieutenant-Governor Buron Pitts, a former commander of the Legion, is also on the list of speakers for the convening included on the program Commander Howard P. Savage of Chicago; Dan Sowers of Indiana; national director of the American Union commission of the Legion; Charles Mills of Florida; head of the 40 and 8 Society, and numerous others. Word has been received by State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the Legion that the United States destroyer Hazelwood, which is serving as the training ship for a large number of naval reserve officers, many of whom belong to the Legion and now on summer cruise, will call at Santa Barbara during the convention next month. Thirty officers and lassies of the Salvation Army, led by Colonel William S. Earlier of San Francisco, will leave on July 20 to attend the American Legion's ninth annual convention, which will be held in Paris, France, in September. Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation Army has accepted the Legion's invitation to attend the convention and deliver one of the principal addresses at that conclave, according to information received by State Commander John F. Slavich of the California department of the Legion. Warning World war veterans of California against "day cagerness to convert their bonus certificates into cash and then forget all about it," Dr. John F. Slavich, state commander of the American Legion has called attention to the fact that more than 6000 former soldiers who borrowed on their bonus Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and the British Isles will be included in the itinerary of the legionnaires. The goodwill tour will be limited to 250 members. Reservations for the Paris convention closed on July 15, and the state headquarters of the Legion is now engaged in checking the list of some eight hundred Californians who will make the journey abroad.

All "sold" areas are marked in black on the blue print, while the balance are left in white until claimed. Indications, according to H. A. Lake, of Garden Grove, fair president, are that the event will set new records in all departments. Early entries in the agricultural, horticultural and livestock sections are reported, while plans for a horse show, rodeo, special Scot's night and a sham battle are being whipped into shape. Since the war, however, prospecting along the north slope of the mountains has led to the discovery of several deposits, one of which near Lake Crescent has yielded in three years about 17,000 tons of ore containing more than 52 per cent of manganese and less than 4 per cent of silica, probably the largest concentrated body of this grade that has yet been found in the United States. Further prospecting has shown that there are other deposits on the southwest side of the mountains. Bulletin 7795-A. "Manganese-Bearing Deposits Near Lake Crescent and Humptulips, Washington," a report of a preliminary study of all these deposits by a geologist of the geological survey, department of the interior, shows that although the mineral composition varies from place to place, they all lie at nearly the same stratigraphic position in the rock section, and the hope is held out that more deposits of high grade ore may be discovered in the same belt. Prospecting in the region is much hampered by the heavy forest and thick cover of underbrush and moss, but as the timber is cut the search will be less difficult. The principal deposit was discovered in an area swept by forest fires several years ago. TRUCKS AND HIGHWAYS Commencement of the campaign to enforce the state law against overloaded trucks on the highways comes just in time to remind the truck owners that their traffic is the leading reason why our motor roads cost so much as they do. It is the heavy traffic that requires us to build such expensive highways. It is only fair that the trucks pay their proportionate share of the taxes for highway holding and maintenance. They have been escaping in large part. The weight tax—which the truckmen are now seeking to fold up by referendum—was an effort to get a fair share of highway taxes from them. Salvation Army has accepted the Legion's invitation to attend the convention and deliver one of the principal addresses at that conclave, according to information received by State Commander John F. Slavich of the California department of the Legion. Warning World war veterans of California against "day eagerness to convert their bonus certificates into cash and then forget all about it." Dr. John F. Slavich, state commander of the American Legion has called attention to the fact that more than 6000 former soldiers who borrowed on their bonus certificates have failed to redeem them at their banks. The defaulted certificates have been turned in to the United States veterans' bureau and have been paid in full to the banks, according to Slavich. "The American Legion has made a strenuous campaign to protect the servicemen against 'can sharks' and it is just as important that those who have borrowed from the banks of the country fulfill their obligations and see to it that they do not forfeit their certificates," Commander Slavich says. California World War veterans will send a delegation of their number as a part of the official "peace and good-will tour" to various European countries immediately following the Paris, France, convention of the American Legion in September, according to an announcement from George J. Hatfield of this city and California representative of the national French convention committee. Members of the Legion from every state and distinguished American veterans, including General John J. Pershing, will compose the party which will make an official call upon the foreign governments. Wedge Cush-$165 ion Buy One for Get One FREE and every motorist can use twol...

Commencement of the campaign to enforce the state law against overloaded trucks on the highways comes just in time to remind the truck owners that their traffic is the leading reason why our motor roads cost so much as they do. It is the heavy traffic that requires us to build such expensive highways. It is only fair that the trucks pay their proper share of the taxes for highway holding and maintenance. They have been escaping in large part. The weight tax—which the truckmen are now seeking to fold up by referendum—was an effort to get a fair share of highway taxes from them. In a somewhat similar situation, the short line railroads and the motor bus lines were smart enough to get all hands together and settle on a fair tax that they should pay. They knew they would have to pay and should pay their share, and they preferred to get it all settled over the table in a friendly way, rather than wait until they were budgeoned into it, perhaps with disagreeable consequences. The truck operators, or a part of them, it is only fair to say, have taken a different attitude. Their sole effort is to try to upset, or hold up, attempts to tax them. To such an attitude the public reply is naturally to scrutinize very carefully the operation of trucks on the highways to hold them to a strict observance of the laws, and to devise some certain plan which will hold the truck operators rigorously to payment of their full share of highway and other taxation. Their trucks cannot be permitted to be overloaded to the detriment of the highways. And as their traffic even when kept under the legal weight limits imposes a particularly heavy burden on the roads, a way should be found to see that they pay in proportion to highway funds.

Before the error was discovered, a part of the edition was run off. Mr. Mann believes in giving his customers the lowest figures and the best service in his establishment, but the price given is an error, pure and simple, which we regret. The man responsible for it has been boiled in oil. The only drawback in a great event like Lindbergh's flight across the Attantic is the flock of alleged popular songs which inevitably follows.
