P. Thompson Lincoln Ford Fordson CARS-TRUCKS-TRACTORS 320 North Los Angeles Street (Successor to Sid McGraw) Pests Cost County Millions of Dollars More Than Million Spent Last Year in Control Work After inspecting more than 1,000,000 trees, plants and products during the last year; covering more than 300,000 acres in the incessant battle against the spread of field and orchard pests, County Horticultural Inspector A. A. Brock set forth the following principal observations in his annual report just filed: 1-No new insect pests were introduced during the year. 2-The citrus mealy bug continues to spread through orange county orchards. 3-The pepper weevil caused a 40 per cent crop loss for the year. 4-Pest damage is several times greater than the amount spent on pest control, which cost the county $1,064.-074.63 in the last year. Impossibility of restricting the mealy bug to its present area of infestation was admitted in the report, which says that "In a few years our entire county will be infested with this pest." Almost weekly infestations in new territory are being found, it is said, this fact ranking in importance with the rapid spread of the pepper weevil. Pest control activities, therefore, are directed toward holding down the damage caused by these and other pests and plant diseases, besides keeping a close and constant vigil against the importation of any new evils. In this campaign, Brock and his staff of inspectors and tree doctors directed the examination of about 1,100,000 trees, plants, shrubs, vines, cuttings, bulbs, seed, windbreaks nursery stock, fruit, grain, household goods and miscellaneous articles in their quarantine work; inspected 209,770 acres in weed and rodent control; 700 acres for pepper weevil; 82,045 acres of citrus land; 7462 acres of walnut orchards; 15 acres of apricots and five acres of apples; inspected the county's 92 nurseries; visited 2176 stores and packing houses in standardization work; supervised the marketing of this merchandise were listed as rot, worms, immaturity, frost injury and lack of labels. Good progress was made in combatting the puncture vine, one of the most undesirable of the noxious weeds, Brock reported. The county board of supervisors was commended for its aid in the fight against noxious weeds by keeping public highways well cleared. Anaheimer Appeals From Fullerton Court Roy Choate Objects to Fine on Disturbance Charge Having appealed from a $50 fine imposed on him by City Recorder Halsey I. Spence of Fullerton, in connection with a charge of disorderly conduct, Roy Choate of Anaheim petitioned superior court for a peremptory writ of mandamus against Spence, who is accused of bungling records of the case in such fashion as to jeopardize Choate's rights. Choate's attorney, C. F. Conkey, claims that the city recorder has filed a "jumble of detached papers" in superior court as a return of the proceedings in Choate's case. Conkey charges that Recorder Spence eliminated from his report the statement by Conkey of the grounds upon which an appeal is taken, including some of the evidence explaining such grounds. Choate's legal-rights are endangered by this fact, it is claimed. The petition for a writ of mandamus asks that Recorder Spence be ordered to prepare and file a proper judgment toll and Choate's statement of the grounds of appeal. In the petition, complaint is also made that Recorder Spence refused to allow Choate a jury trial. Choate having first waived a jury and then, on the day before his trial, changed his mind and asked for a jury. Choate, the petition recites, was arrested August 12 and pleaded not guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct. He waived a jury trial and the case was presented.

Vacuum fumigation was reported by Brock as one of the methods of preventing spread of insect pests. A total of 119,511 trees, plants and tents were thus fumigated. Quarantine inspection resulted in the treatment of 21,100 pieces, and the destruction of 6886 pieces; 14,466 pounds of bulbs were treated. The tree doctors treated 40,592 trees for plant disease, chiefly scaly bark and gummosis, at a cost of $35,477.62. Eighteen men were employed at this work. The standardization inspectors reconditioned or condemned 1001 boxes or lugs of produce and fruit in their rounds of the stores and packing houses. Some of the causes of their interference with The petition for a writ of mandamus asks that Recorder Spence be ordered to prepare and file a proper judgment toll and Choate's statement of the grounds of appeal. In the petition, complaint is also made that Recorder Spence refused to allow Choate a jury trial. Choate having first waived a jury and then, on the day before his trial, changed his mind and asked for a jury. Choate, the petition recites, was arrested August 12 and pleaded not guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct. He waived a jury trial and the case was set for hearing on August 19 by the court. On August 18, Choate asked permission to withdraw his waiver of a jury and to ask for a jury trial. The court refused such permission. At the trial Choate was found guilty and fined $50. His appeal was then taken. When his attorney filed with the court his statement of the grounds of appeal, and some of the testimony explaining it, City Attorney F. H. Lyon served notice of proposed amendments to such statement. Recorder Spence settled the dispute by disallowing the entire statement of Conkey. The bill of exceptions was also included. Conkey says. The recorder, it is stated, then proceeded to file with superior court, the alleged "jumble of detached papers," to which Conkey objects. Choate's arrest, it is said, grew out of a dispute with Roy Mills, of the Fulerton police department, over the brakes of Choate's car. LOCAL MEN IN NARROW ESCAPE The intersection of Broadway and Claudina was the scene of a near fatal accident today. An automobile containing Walter Ross and Leslie Kelsey, in front, and Bert Morley, in the rear seat, was traveling south on Claudina when hit by an unidentified machine traveling west on Broadway.

The occupants of the unidentified car took Kelsey to the hospital, and an ambulance was sent for Morley. Walter Ross stayed on the scene, superintending removal of the wrecked machine.

Must Take Census Of District Minors The recent legislature has passed a law which compels each school district to make a complete registration of all minors in the district during the first full week in October. It is the duty of the school board to appoint a registrar and such deputy registrars as such governing board may find necessary to make a full and complete registration of these minors in the district, within the week set aside for such registration. M. A. Gauer, superintendent of schools, was made registrar, and Warren L. Clement, Merchandiser, G.F. Holmes and The recent legislature has passed a law which compiles each school district to make a complete registration of all minors in the district during the first full week in October. It is the duty of the school board to appoint a registrar and such deputy registrars as such governing board may find necessary to make a full and complete registration of these minors in the district, within the week set aside for such registration. M. A. Gauer, superintendent of schools, was made registrar, and Warren L. Strickland, Mrs. G. E. Holmes, and the Parent-Teacher Associations' presidents deputy registrars, to carry on this registration. The Parent-Teacher Associations, under the direction of their presidents, are planning on making a house to house canvass and complete a thorough registration of all minors. The board of education has agreed to pay the Parent-Teacher Association 5 cents for every name that they secure. The law further states that it is the duty of any parent, guardian or any other person having control or charge of any minor under the age of 18 years, to give the registrar of minors, his deputy or assistant, the information concerning his child or children. As this registration has to be completed in one week's time, it will be necessary to have the co-operation of all the parents and guardians of children in the Anaheim school district, and the school board, the registrar and his assistants, ask that every assistance be given to make the registration thorough and complete. The information regarding each minor which is necessary to record is as follows: Sex, age, nationality of parents, nativity, residence, education, and such other information as is listed on the blanks. It is further stipulated in the law that should the district fail to make this registration, the said district would lose in state school money in the neighborhood of $460—so it figures out in the Anaheim school district. So the patrons of the school district will realize that the district is to be fined if this work is not done. before fall nights come investigate gas heating —cool, fall nights are here and the proper heating of your house is essential. —gas heat is ideal for local climatic conditions; it is instantly available during the early fall nights and mornings.
