Growers Realize Increased Profits Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association Pays First Pool Returns to Anaheim Valencia growers who marketed their fruit during the first pool of shipment at the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association house exceeded by more than $26,000 the amount expected to be realized for this fruit, based on an estimate early in the season, according to a statement by Manager G. W. Sandilands. Final settlement for the first pool fruit, recently made by this house, brings the total amount received by growers to the sum of $326,426.53, Manager Sandilands reports. The house handled a total of 243 cars of fruit in this pool, with the smaller sizes predominating. Of the fruit shipped, 66 per cent was of sizes 216s and smaller, Mr. Sandilands stated. With marketing of the second pool of fruit now completed with very satisfactory results, the house is busy on its third pool with prospects bright for a continuation of the good returns that have characterized the other two pools, he said. Final settlements for first-pool fruit have also been made by the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association and the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association. The co-operative recently reported that a total of approximately $460,000 had been paid growers for fruit marketed during this period and, although no official statement was available, the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association is said to have completed the payment of approximately $400,000 for the early fruit. The C. M. Brown Fruit Company has completed the shipment of 192 cars, 400 boxes each of Valencias, up to date, far outstripping its shipping record last season, and has rounded out two shipping pools. The remainder of this season's crop will be handled by this house on an individual marketing basis. Manager W. H. Johnston announced. Southern Coastline Boosted by Publisher Predictions that Orange county, particularly the section extending from Santa Ana southward to the coast, including the entire coastline from Balboa to San Clemente, will at no distant future be the playground of Southland society, were made today by Eugene Swarzwald, publisher of Pictorial California, published in Los Angeles. Swarzwald, equally well known as an artist and newspaperman, is stopping at St. Ann's Inn. He came down to confer with Dr. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent, and George A. Raymer, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, regarding a series of pictures to be taken of interesting places in Orange county for use in his publication. "Though perhaps the most beautiful city of its size in California, possessing all that could be desired in an ideal residence community, it is perhaps at the same time the least advertised," Swarzwald declared, expressing his surprise at the little effort in this direction. Swarzwald, who lives in Beverly Hills is a confirmed Orange county booster. He spends most of his week-ends at Three Arches, on the Laguna Beach coast, where he owns a small cottage. Several issues of the Pictorial California have been devoted almost exclusively to pictures of Orange county scenes. Pointing to the grounds of St. Ann's Inn, with its stately cedars and beds of flowers, not to mention "the lone sentinel palm" and the wonderful fig tree, Swarzwald said that they furnish a setting that is hard to equal at any other tourist hotel and which evokes the admiration of passersby. "Why some millionaires would give a small fortune for that palm if they could have it transplanted to their own gardens," said the visitor. "And this fig tree here is a show place in itself." he added. He went on to say that the cultural development of schools, churches, music, art, and recreation will do more towards the advancement of the county's economic interests than any other effort put forth.

Santa Fe Attractive To Tourist Parties Interesting Sights in Oldest Capital in United States One of the most interesting points visited by the motorist over the National Old Trails route in New Mexico is the city of Santa Fe, the oldest seat of government in the United States. Nestling beneath the rugged peaks of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, lies this ancient city of the holy faith. Not only is Santa Fe the capital of the state in which it lies, but it is the capital of a dim historic past in which the cliff dwellers and Pueblo Indians been paid growers to fruit cultivated during this period and, although no official statement was available, the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association is said to have completed the payment of approximately $400,000 for the early fruit.

Body of Woman Found in the Bay Believed to Be Miss Bernice Wittmier of Balboa Clad only in a pair of black silk pajamas, the body of a woman, believed to be Mrs. Bernice B. Wittmier, 38 years of age, of Balboa, was found floating in Balboa bay Monday by three beach residents who were boating near Collins Castle. L. L. Garrigues of Balboa, neighbor of Mrs. Wittmier, while not willing to positively identify the body, declared that he believed it was that of Mrs. Wittmier, who had been suffering with insomnia lately and had probably walked into the water in her sleep. She was in a highly nervous state when he last saw her. Garrigues stated, due to the illness of her mother and the strain of caring for the invalid, and had complained of inability to sleep well, describing occasions when she had wakened to find herself at various places in and around the house, having walked there while asleep. It was the theory of the Newport Beach police that the woman had either been given poison and then been cast into the water of the bay, or had taken her own life in some unknown manner. An examination, by County Coroner C. D. Brown did not result-in the discovery of wounds, contusions or scars, other than one operation scar. The woman had dark brown hair, long and curly. She weighed about 110 pounds and was 5 feet 6 inches tall. Her teeth, on which some gold fillings had been set, were in good condition. The fingernails of the dead woman were well kept. The woman was not robust, and this led to the conclusion by some that she might have had tuberculosis and taken her own life.

Approximately sent nearly 17,000 thern Orange Coun will share in the Interesting Sights in Oldest Capital in United States One of the most interesting points visited by the motorist over the National Old Trails route in New Mexico is the city of Santa Fe, the oldest seat of government in the United States. Nestling beneath the rugged peaks of the Sanrgre de Cristo mountains, lies this ancient city of the holy faith. Not only is Santa Fe the capital of the state in which it lies, but it is the capital of a dim historic past in which the cliff dwellers and Pueblo Indians were the central figures. Right at the doors of this interesting city are 20,000 cliff dwellers with their mysterious remains and legends inscribed on rocks, ever puzzling to archaeologists. At short distances from Santa Fe are numerous Indian villages, where motorists may view the ancient rites and ceremonies that were performed ages before the advent of Columbus. In 1605, Juan de Anate founded the village of Santa Fe, and many of the buildings of that day still remain, the principal one being the old chapel of San Miguel. The Palace of the Governors is now a seat of culture, housing the American School of Archaeology. Here it was that General Kearney raised the American flag, in 1846, and where Kit Carson and other brave frontiersmen made their headquarters when the town was the western outpost of American civilization. This building, located on the plaza at Santa Fe, has seen the rulers of Spain, the Pueblo Indians, Spain again, then Mexican, and finally American hold sway and rule an enormous empire. This city is also the location of the state museum, a splendid building founded on the Pueblo and mission type of architecture and containing a very interesting collection of Indian and early Spanish trophies, and also containing a fine art gallery, where the work of visiting artists is exhibited. Within an area of 50 miles around Santa Fe are the remains of civilizations contemporary with the mammoth and the great lava flow. There are already twenty candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination and before the returns are all in it may be necessary to let the candidates sit in the auditorium and the delegates on the stage.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS One of the salient issues of the World war was to establish "freedom of the seas." During the recent disarmament conference, a British delegate emphatically stated that, "It is time the Americans realized that Britain rules the seas." Another, and more important development of the conference was the fact that Britain has ignored the terms of the Washington conference by building 20 per cent more than agreed to, while the United States scrapped over $800,000 tons of practically new construction as a demonstration of good will and good faith. In addition to this, Britain refused to grant an appraisal of her naval strength for the purpose of comparison. In view of the burdens in Egypt, India and China and the dull industrial activities, this tremendous additional expense for naval construction, and eagerness to "rule the seas" indicates a "big stick" policy that is calculated to put the fear of God into the hearts of every European nation—a policy that means anything but peace in the world, and a policy that the United States must look upon with suspicion.

C. Jerome, called attention to the fact that Orange county made virtually a 100 per cent collection of its taxes this year. The record probably is unmatched by any county in the state, according to Jerome. Of the entire tax total, amounting to $5,682,532 for the year, all was collected by $73,729.58, making a record low mark for delinquency of about 1½ per cent for all classes of taxation, including county purposes, street improvement and special districts of all kinds. This slight deficiency was practically balanced by the auditor's collections of delinquent taxes from past years, amounting to $71,934.38. Collection of taxes for county purposes only kept within the provisions of the Volstead act, so far as delinquency was concerned, being less than one-half of one per cent. Three apportionments are made annually by the auditor, the first covering 60 per cent of collections, the second being 30 per cent, and the third 10 per cent, with certain deductions. The final 10 per cent, just apportioned by Jerome, amounted to $429,593.13. This District Leads In Fruit Shipments Nearly Million and a Half Dollars Ahead of Last Year The Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange has shipped more fruit and received for it a better average price and greater returns than any other district exchange of the California Fruit Trees Not Diminishing Flood Storage Space "The tree growth on the several millions of acres between or inside the levees of the Mississippi could have only a negligible effect upon the level of a flood, and only a nominal influence upon movement of the waters toward the gulf." This declaration by Associate Forester E. A. Sherman of the forest service, United States department of agriculture, is made as a response to one of the most unique among the many suggestions offered with a view to controlling floods of the great river. The author of this suggestion estimates that 85 per cent of the cubic space between the levees from Calro to Baton Rouge is occupied by "giant cottonwood forests and other kinds of tree growth of all sizes," and urges that the area be completely stripped of the trees to make more room for the water. "It is unquestionably true that this land area does support lowland hardwood forests of great extent and value. Possibly 85 per cent of the surface area is given to growing trees. But," said Forester Sherman, "the computation of cubic feet occupied by the tree growth must be based on the space actually occupied by the trees rather than the entire land surface on which the trees grow, and when so computed the space between the levees does not appear to be nearly so choked or usurped by the trees." Actual investigations on representative lands in the Mississippi valley have shown, for example, that the cottonwood produces a maximum of 6900 cubic feet of wood per acre at 50 years of age, with an average height of 136 feet. This means about 50 cubic feet of wood volume for each acre-foot (43,560 cubic feet) of surface. In other words, though 85 per cent of this land surface may be taken up by tree growth, that tree growth is occupying not 85 percent, but about one-ninth of 1 per cent of the cubical space, and its effect toward raising the flood level or retarding the movement of the waters is seen to be wholly insignificant. Certainly," the forester points out, "any trifling disadvantage thus caused is overwhelmingly counterbalanced by the benefits derived from making this land. All Deputies Must Shun Intoxicants Every deputy sheriff must sign a pledge to leave liquor alone, or turn in his star. Every deputy, upon appointment, must agree to the rigid conditions imposed by Sheriff Jernigan. While announcing the institution of the pledge, the sheriff also announced his appointment of Hunter Leach, of Santa Ana, as night jaller. The pledge is as follows: "It is my understanding that the policy of the sheriff is one opposed to drinking any intoxicating liquors by any of his deputies on or off duty and in keeping with that policy it is my understanding that drinking of any intoxicating liquor by me is sufficient cause for immediate dismissal. I pledge myself to live up to this policy of the sheriff's office and I further pledge myself to co-operate to the best of my ability in the enforcement of laws against the liquor traffic as well as in the enforcement of all other laws." "Nobody can be appointed a deputy who will not sign this statement," said Sheriff Jernigan, "and none can remain a deputy of mine if he breaks his written word in this matter and I know it. I intend that the spirit and letter of this written pledge shall be lived up to absolutely." With their names on this pledge there is no way any deputy can possibly say he did not understand exactly where this office stands, and if he breaks the pledge he will have to take the consequences. I agree with the grand jury that a deputy sheriff, more than citizens who are not officers, ought to stand out clearly as personally observing the law against liquor." The appointment of Hunter Leach leaves four places still to be filled by the sheriff as a result of the clearance occurrences that have taken place in the sheriff's office as a result of investigations by the federal and county grand juries. Leach is a prominent member of Santa Ana post, American Legon. He is a member of the executive committee... This District Leads In Fruit Shipments Nearly Million and a Half Dollars Ahead of Last Year The Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange has shipped more fruit and received for it a better average price and greater returns than any other district exchange of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. Dale R. King, manager of the northern exchange here, made public this information when he disclosed figures showing that the present year was one of the best in the history of his office. Returns through the local district exchange already are $1,388,269.09 greater than to this date a year ago, with indications that this ratio will be increased from now until the end of the season. King stated. Total returns for the Northern Orange County Exchange a year ago amounted to approximately $9,000,000, falling short of that amount by less than $10,000. Well over $5,000,000 has already come into the local exchange, with much fruit sold on the road, on which payment has not yet been received. In addition, a large amount of fruit remains on the trees, and it is upon this and the outstanding shipments that hope for a greater total than a year ago is based by the local manager. Carload shipments to date are already 272 cars ahead of this time last year, when 3935 cars had been sent out. The total this season to date is 4207 cars. Not only was the production greater, but the average price to the grower was 37 cents a box higher on Valenclas and 25 cents on lemons. King said, indicating the reason for substantial gain for the present season. Actual figures on returns to August 1, 1926, show $3,738,089, while to the same date this year the income was $4,693,815. August, however, will be a record month in the history of the Northern Orange County Exxchange. To date for the month, citrus sales have brought $1,409,366.65, which will mean, according to King, an income of from $1,800,000 to $2,000,000 for August. The total to date is $432,569.92 more than the total to date for August one year ago. August sales are rushing toward the record returns, despite the fact that this is the peak of the deciduous fruit season throughout the country, east and west, and that the temperatures in the Middle West and East have been subnormal in many places. Both of these conditions have a direct reaction on the market; it was pointed out, yet the demand has continued steadily with prices firm. Approximately 1250 growers representing nearly 17,000 acres in the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange will share in the returns of a record of age, with an average height of 136 feet. This means about 50 cubic feet of wood volume for each acre-foot (43,560 cubic feet) of surface. In other words, though 85 per cent of this land surface may be taken up by tree growth, that tree growth is occupying not 85 percent, but about one-ninth of 1 per cent of the cubical space, and its effect toward raising the flood level or retarding the movement of the waters is seen to be wholly insignificant. Certainly," the forester points out, "any trifling disadvantage thus caused is overwhelmingly counterbalanced by the benefits derived from making this land, which is useless for any other continued production, grow trees." TO DISCUSS LIVESTOCK The farm bureau announces that W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, will be on the program over KWTC Friday night, 7:15 to 7:30 o'clock. With the nearness of fair time, his discussion, "Fitting Livestock for Exhibition," will probably be of interest to many. It is quite possible for a judge to place an interior animal up because of its finish and training, because it shows to better advantage and the weaknesses are thereby lessened. All livestock exhibitors should listen in Friday night, that they may take advantage of the suggestions given. Before appointing Leach," said Jernigan. "I made careful inquiries concerning him, and I am certain that he is exceptionally well qualified for the position. He is a man of excellent character and standing. I consulted a number of prominent business men of the city and found that he was highly recommended by everyone who knows him." Jernigan said he had no other announcement of appointments to make. He said he has had numerous applications and could fill the jobs many times over, but he is taking time to make the best possible selections. August sales are rushing toward the record returns, despite the fact that this is the peak of the deciduous fruit season throughout the country, east and west, and that the temperatures in the Middle West and East have been subnormal in many places. Both of these conditions have a direct reaction on the market, it was pointed out, yet the demand has continued steadily with prices firm. Approximately 1250 growers representing nearly 17,000 acres in the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange will share in the returns of a record season. Pickling, packing and selling costs are subtracted and the grower's net price for his fruit is paid. Bandit Operates on San Diego Highway A flashlight bandit, wearing a false mustache and armed with a .45 calibre revolver, operated on the San Diego highway, south of San Juan Capistrano, early Sunday morning, and after robbing the occupants of one machine, made his escape. Mrs. L. Mueller, 146 North Robinson street, Los Angeles, reported that she and her companion were held up by a man who stopped their car by waving a red-flashlight. She said that when her car came to a stop, the man jumped on the running board and, covering them with a revolver, asked for their valuables. W. G. Stennett, Los Angeles, handed over $17 in cash to the bandit and Mrs. Mueller lost a diamond ring valued at $150, she reported. The bandit also took her watch and, after examining it, returned it to her. The bandit car followed the Muller machine for two miles, according to Mrs. Mueller, then passed it and turned around. The man got out and began to wave a red flashlight. The hold-up man was described as being an American, 5 feet, 8 inches in height, weighing about 140 pounds, and had dark complexion. He was of slender build and wore an old panama hat pulled down over his eyes, and his coat collar turned up around his neck.

Medal Stolen From Santa Ana Hero For what is probably the first time in history, officers today were seeking the recovery of a congressional medal of honor, reported stolen. The medal, property of Dave Hayden, Santa Ana hero, of 1974 West Fourth street, is one of the five in the entire state of California. According to a report filed by Hayden at the sheriff's office, the medal, in its case, was stolen from his home some time Monday. Nothing else in the house was taken. The house was entered apparently by someone who has a passkey, according to the report. Jules Market, post commander of the was notified of the theft and will notify all posts in the state, he said, to be on the lookout for the medal. The medal is the highest award given by the govnment for distinguished service. Hayden, while in the second battalion, Sixth regiment, United States Marine Corps, was decorated with it for conspicuous bravery while under heavy fire. For the same deed he received the Portuguese medal of honor and the Italian militaire medal. According to records of the deed, Hayden, while under heavy machine gun fire, rushed to a wounded corporal, dressed his wounds and then carried him to the rear and safety. Hayden was badly wounded himself and is today classed as a disabled veteran. During the recent state convention of the American Legion at Santa Barbara, Hayden with four other congressional medals of honor men were guests, all expenses of the men and their wives being borne by the state department.
