MOST GORGEOUS EXHIBIT EVER ATTEMPTED BY LOCAL ASSOCIATION Golden Harvest of the Golden State Now on Display; Every Department Taxed to Capacity to Show Different Varieties of Products; Space Under Huge Canvas at a Premium; Sham Battle Feature of Big Event WITH seven main auditoriums being decked with a profusion of produce from farm, field, orchard, and shop today, activities in and about the fair grounds were in full swing for the grand opening of the annual industrial, agricultural and livestock exposition, which will show for a week, starting next Monday. Exhibitors from many districts of Southern California and from all quarters of Orange county continued to pour in with entries in one or more of the 40 departments in the fair. Built on a scale that would accommodate the rapidly growing county fair, President Lake declared today that every department has been taxed to capacity. The exposition, he said, will present to the country the finest display of all varieties of produce, including fruits and vegetables of the sub-tropics, that have ever been gathered in one central show place of the Southland. It is the golden harvest of the Golden State on show, declared George T. Kellogg, agricultural superintendent, and in varieties greater in abundance of wealth per cultivated acre than any similar area in the United States. Exhibit space and display room is at a premium. Manager Hunt said today. Seven tents stretch for 2000 feet from the main entrance, and 150,000 feet of floor space under canvas was being filled with exhibits of fruits, grains, forage, plants, birds, feature exhibits, floricultural specimens, livestock, automobiles, industrial devices, pigeons, dogs, poultry, educational exhibits, fine arts and historical relics. "Never in the history of fairs in the state," Lake said, "has there been one with such variety and quantity of produce and, in addition, an exceptional amusement and entertainment program as provided at the Orange County Fair this year." A program surpassing quality, and one of the best in Southern California this year, the president said, is well balanced throughout. It includes a sha mbattle. Monday and Tuesday evenings; a night horse show with 150 high class entries and prizes aggregating $5000, for the Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday evening entertainment.

Next Year's Orange Crop Much Lighter Between 60 and 70 Per Cent of This Season's Big Crop The citrus outlook for next year is coming in for a lot of discussion at the present time. Northern Orange county, which is reaping such a magnificent harvest of wealth through the marketing of this season's phenomenal Valencia crop may, along with the rest of the state, expect a much smaller yield next season, according to government citrus experts and local distributors who have studied the situation. But it is generally admitted that the lighter crop will not necessarily mean any material reduction in the total amount to be returned growers. For, as it is pointed out, a light crop usually means high prices and good quality. That returns to growers next season may show some reduction as compared with returns this season is expected through the fact that the present season despite its magnoth yield has been featured by some very high price levels that will be difficult to surpass, distributors declared. Government experts have predicted that next year's Valencia yield will be the poorest in five years, assigning as the cause of this expected condition the unusual drop of fruit that occurred during a cold spell following a period of intense heat in June this year. Commenting on this report, George K. Crawford, assistant manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, stated that though no accurate estimate has yet been made by the association, he 1928 Valencia yield is expected to be between 60 and 70 per cent of this season's big crop. The exchange expects to make its first formal estimate of the new crop about November 1. Mr. Crawford said. With prices on Valencias on the cast- $25,000 HOME CONSTRUCTION RANCH M.

SENATORS Friends of Walter county, where he career twenty ooc noted with regret of his team during Walter's men were one of the best in Southern California this year, the president said, is well balanced throughout. It includes a sha mbattle, Monday and Tuesday evenings; a night horse show with 150 high class entries and prizes aggregating $5000, for the Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday evening entertainment. On Friday night the Southern California Slots will present a program seldom enacted outside state conclaves, and which will include a band and drill contest. Seven Southland cities will take part. The afternoon program for six days of the fair is to provide one of the best rodeo celebrations on the coast. According to F. L. Purinton, chairman of the rodeo celebration, this event will equal any show in the West. Fifty horses were added to the list of wild bronces that will show, making a total of 250 head of livestock for this one event. Fifty head of Brahma steers imported from Sonora, Mexico, are included. The rodeo, under the management of Bob Anderson, of the Baker ranch, offers $4000 in cash prizes. The events include steer riding, calf roping, bulldogging, bronco busting, and racing by riders of championship caliber. More box stalls were built this week to care for the increased entry list in the night horse show, J. R. Ragan, of Villa Park, in charge of this event, said. One hundred and fifty head of the finest racing stock from stables of leading Southern California horsemen, he said, have entered Ben R Middleton, of Mexico, Mo., is judge the gaited classes, while competent judges, including R. L. Cole of Monterey and R. C. Mesmer, of Los Angeles, have been obtained for the hunters and jumpers and stock horses. Having adopted the Indian motif for the fair, all features were being constructed around this idea. A. M. Stanley, secretary of the fair, pointed out to this feature as one of the main fair attractions. Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Orange counties have contributed feature Indian exhibits, and in connection with the displays, 16 huge Indian replicas stand silent guard over this tent, Stanley said. Following out the Indian scheme in more realistic fashion, Chief Standing liger and his tribe of 20 entertainers were located this week on the grounds and established their village. In addition, the Yuma Indian band, from Yuma, the cause of this expected condition the unusual drop of fruit that occurred during a cold spell following a period of intense heat in June this year.

Crawford, assistant manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, stated that though no accurate estimate has yet been made by the association, he 1928 Valencia yield is expected to be between 60 and 70 per cent of this season's big crop. The exchange expects to make its first formal estimate of the new crop about November 1. Mr. Crawford said. With prices on Valencias on the eastern markets continuing at high levels and the demand still strong, northern Orange county distributors are operating their plants at full steam ahead, and the major portion of this season's crop has already been cleaned up. It is said. Some of the smaller houses have already rounded out their season's shipping and others are expecting to do so within the next few weeks. The exchange houses, however, do not expect to close their season any earlier this year than usual, despite the heavy shipping of the past few weeks, according to Assistant Manager Crawford of the Orange county exchange. Arizona, the only one tribe Indian band in the world, are signed for daily concerts. The Yuma band is scheduled to arrive at the fair grounds Saturday. Garland draped throughout all the tents, exhibits under the huge canvas tops will vie in color scheme for beauty and fineness of color blending, it was said. A Midway of games, afternoon and evening-free entertainment from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. and dancing each evening are additional attractions. Pedestrians will enter the main entrances on the state highway side of the grounds, officials announced. Two auto entrances with parking space for 2000 cars have been provided, facing Placentia avenue. Every community in the county, Lake said, responded to the work of constructing the enlarged fair, and the cooperation that has been given is reflected in the size and quality of the fair this year. Due to this united effort, the president of the fair association pointed out, Orange county this year boasts a larger and better fair, that has taken its place among the leading Southland expositions.

He has begun the erection of one of the finest ranch houses in the county on his place on Dale avenue, near Buena Park. The house will cost $25,000. M. Eugene Durfee of Anaheim is the architect, and John A. Volz, also of this city, was given the contract for its construction. The structure is to have an east front on Dale avenue.

SENATORS IN FOURTH Friends of Walter Johnson in Orange county, where he started his pitching career twenty odd years ago, have noted with regret the downward flight of his team during several weeks past. Walter's men were for a time contendent. Trustees of the various school districts will be warned against declaring any extra holidays, except those listed in the school calendar, for the purpose of celebrating events or for attending shows, exhibitions, and the like. Following is the school calendar for the year of 1927-28, as announced by the county superintendent: September 12, opening of school; November 11, school holiday; Armistice day; November 24 and 25, Thanksgiving holidays; December 19 to January 3, Christmas vacation; April 2 to 6, spring vacation; May 30, school holiday; Memorial Day; June 8, closing of schools. Unless the elementary schools in a district have completed the full 170 days of actual teaching, there will be no apportionment of state and county funds. According to R.P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools, explaining the provisions of the new law. As a matter of fact, he adds, if a school district should declare a holiday in addition to those provided for in the official school calendar, it would be necessary to extend the term of the school year beyond the authorized closing date. June 8. Such an arrangement would lead to difficulties with the teachers over compensation, as their yearly contracts expire with the closing of the school year. School Begins Again Monday, Sept. 12th Lessons in Spanish Schools Will Be Taken Up October 10 Studies will be resumed in the city's grammar schools on Monday, September 12.

Miss Myrle Winters, registrar, announced. Faculty members of the high school are to be called together for their first session of the new term Tuesday morning, September 6, at 10 o'clock, and junior and senior students are asked to visit the registrar's office same day between the hours of 11 and 12 a.m. or 1 and 4 p.m. FIVE POINTS PEOPLE WANT SECTION CLASSIFIED AS BUSINESS DISTRICT Forty Residents of West Center Street Make Appeal to City Council Thursday; Petitions Accepted and Will Be Considered Later; No Protest Filed on Chestnut Street Paving; Routine Business Transacted PEOPLE living within a radius of several blocks in the Five Points district are of opinion that an important business section is being established there, and that no restrictions should be placed on the expansion of commerce. For this reason a petition, signed by 40 property owners of that district, was presented to the city council Thursday night, asking that Five Points be classed as a business instead of a residence district. Without any discussion, the receipt of the petition was acknowledged and it was placed on file for future reference. No appeals from the Chestnut street paving proceedings having been received, the council approved the proceedings and assessments and adopted a resolution ordering warrants drawn in payment for the work. Formal approval was given a resolution calling for the formation of an assessment district to acquire property for and to build an alley between Chestnut street and Broadway, from the present private alley in the rear of the Motor Transit Stage depot to a point in the rear of lots fronting on Lemon street. The proposed alley will have its western outlet on Broadway and will have eastern entrances from both Chestnut street and Broadway. The annual report of the public library was read and approved. The report covered the period from June 30, 1926 to June 30, 1927, and showed expenditures of $16,140.96 and receipts of $22,649.18, leaving a balance on hand of $6,508.22. Violators of the state motor vehicle acts contributed $1,495 in fines during the months of May, June, July and August, according to a resolution passed and adopted last night transferring that amount from the general fund to the street improvement fund as required by law. Demands against the city aggregating $13,933.86, all approved by the finance committee, were allowed and warrants in payment ordered drawn.

SENATORS IN FOURTH Friends of Walter Johnson in Orange county, where he started his pitching career twenty odd years ago, have noted with regret the downward flight of his team during several weeks past. Walter's men were for a time contenders for first place, but two bad defeats in one day by the Yankas on their home field. July Fourth took the spirit out of the boys, and started them on their downward path; then came two defeats in one day at Detroit, two defeats in one day at St. Louis, and a similar experience in a double-header at Chicago. While Walter has been losing, the Yankas have continued in their upward flight, until they are so far ahead there is no doubt of their winning the pennant. The Senators were, for a time, securely in second place, but Detroit came along and nosed them out, and St. Louis had no trouble in putting them in fourth place. Now Chicago is after them, and unless Walter's teams watch out, they will go over into the second division. It must be said the Senators played great ball earlier in the season, but they have been going bad for two months. Johnson has a record of having pitched more games than any man in the game, but judging from appearances, he will soon go back to the farm. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Ward celebrated the fourth anniversary of their wedding on Sunday, when their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Ward of Fontana, drove over to felicitate them on the happy occasion. They enjoyed a fine dinner on Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Ward are parents of two fine children, and are prosperous and happy. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Ward departed for their home on Monday afternoon, and were accompanied by Mrs. Lloyd Bailey, who came down from Los Angeles to join them. Mrs. Bailey is visiting relatives and friends in Southern California and will spend some time at Avalon next week. Faculty members of the high school are to be called together for their first session of the new term Tuesday morning, September 6, at 10 o'clock, and junior and senior students are asked to visit the registrar's office the same day between the hours of 11 and 12 a.m. or 1 and 4 p.m. Freshman and sophomore students are asked to visit the registrar's office the following day, September 7, between the hours of 9 and 12 a.m. or 1 and 4 p.m. At this time the students will be given their registration cards and sign up for their lockers. All students who are unable to appear for final registration on the above mentioned days will be required to do so Thursday, September 8. Teaching staffs are to remain unchanged as far as the number of instructors is concerned, 40 teachers having been hired by the high school and 66 by the grammar schools for the coming school term. A banquet to be held in the cafeteria room Thursday, September 8, at 12:30 o'clock, under-the auspices of the Girls' League, will be the opening student body event of the new school term. Preparations for this event are under the direction of Mrs. Cassina Watson, faculty advisor for the Girls' League. All freshmen girls and all other girls entering for the first time this term will be guests of members of the league. A general assembly will be held in the auditorium, following the banquet, and short classes will be held later to enable scholars to arrange their schedules in preparation for the opening of full day sessions on Monday. Work is still progressing upon the cafeteria which is being installed in the Fremont school building, and it is hoped that this important addition will be ready for the opening of school. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Riutcel and small son, Wallace, returned on Thursday last from a six-weeks' tour of the Middle West. The party traveled 5600 miles and visited friends and relatives in several midwestern cities. On the return trip they spent some time in the Grand Canyon. Bailey Comes to Orange County Resigns as State Engineer to Take Charge of Work Here Paul Bailey, state engineer and past director of the department of public works, has resigned to accept a position as chief engineer for the Orange county flood control district. Time for the resignation taking effect is left open. It is understood Bailey has requested Bert B. Meek, present director of public works, to relieve him of his duties on October 1. In announcing Bailey's resignation, Meek said he has not decided upon a successor. Bailey was offered the Southern California post by the Orange county board of supervisors several weeks ago. It pays a salary of $12,000 per year, as against a salary of $5000 for the position of state engineer. In his new capacity Bailey will direct the construction of a huge water project involving an ultimate expenditure of $10,000,000. Meek announced the state-wide water resources survey, authorized by the state legislature in 1921 and which has been carried on since that time mainly under the direction of Bailey, will continue uninterrupted. Bailey, he said, will be available for such consultation as may be desired. MOVING TO LOS ANGELES Mrs. H. A. Johnston and two daughters, Agnes and Jessie, will leave soon for Los Angeles, where they will make their home, according to plans announced by Dr. Johnston, who will continue residing in Anaheim. The Misses Johnston plan to enter college work at the Westlake school for girls in September, necessitating the family moving to Los Angeles. Although Dr. Johnston will not move to Los Angeles with his family, he intends to spend a good deal of his time there, when his practice does not require his presence here.

The original qualit little Presbyterian church which stood on these lots, somewhat back from the street and facing on Los Angeles street, which was reached by a lane between two rows of tall cypress trees will be remembered with a feeling of reverence by all old-timers.

DOLAN, pres- The original quaint little Presbyterian church which stood on these lots, somewhat back from the street and facing on Los Angeles street, which was reached by a lane between two rows of tall cypress trees will be remembered with a feeling of reverence by all old-timers. The site was donated, in 1873, by Helman and George, and was a portion of the Jacob Kellar estate. It was the first Protestant church building in Anaheim. The first pastor was Rev. J. P. Webber, the founder of the Westminster Colony in the early '70s. Reverend Weberb was loved by all. He resigned on account of ill health, and died in 1876. The church owns two lots at the southwest corner of Broadway and Clementine street, where it is proposed to build the new church. The congregation of the Nazarene Tabernacle has been considering the purchase of the church property, and a decision will probably be made at a meeting to be held in the tabernacle on Monday evening. Eloquent Address By Rev. Dean Bode Music and Art Originated With Christians, Says Speaker Rev. A. G. H. Bode, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church, addressed the union church service at the city park on Sunday evening. He said: "Art and music had their inception in Christianity, and the masterpieces of the great artists are mainly of Christ and his followers. "People who could not read wanted to know about the Christ, and so the pictures were painted. The form of writing music, which we use today, was originated by the Christians, who wanted a way to record their tunes so that the music could be carried from place to place. "The Bible says God made man after his own image," said the speaker. "This sets at rest all speculation as to what God looks like, and a study of him gives us an insight into God's characteristics." "We like the man of action, the man who is able to do things. We admire the man who has redeeming qualities, and the man who helps other people in trouble. The strengthening, comforting and redeeming qualities are those in which man most resembles God." "Great militarists tell us that the hope of world peace depends upon the Christian people. Let there be no delusion about this idea of peace. We are ready and willing to give battle to him who invades our nation. We had as well stop prattling about that. But if there is to be any sort of international peace, it must come from the hearts of humanity, and only Christians can bring that about." The community singing was conducted by Warren Ashleigh, superintendent of the park. St. Michael's church is now open.
