CALIFORNIA VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW Opening Day—Thursday, May 24 Closing Day……Sunday, June 3 King Valencia's Annual Classic VOLUME LVIII SEEK CANDIDATES CITY CAMPAIGN BEGINNING TO WARM UP OPPOSITION TO PRESENT GOVERNMENT SEEKING COUNCIL CANDIDATES Miller and Case, Outgoing Members of Board, Standing for Re-Election; No Definite Announcement Has Been Made by Opponents; Charles A. Boege and David Jessurun Contesting for Treasurership THE question of who will lead the Republican and Democratic parties in the coming na- Forty Acres of Oranges Bring $140,000 Cash NOTHER boost for Orange county citrus lands was made with the announcement Tuesday that 40 acres of oranges, located two miles east of Anaheim, had been sold for $140,000 cash, or $3500 per acre. The oranges were the property of Frank Borchard, East Holbert street, well known Orange county and Santa Ana citrus grower, and were sold to Adolph J. Shutte, who recently came to Orange county from Missouri. Shutte is deeply impressed with Orange county and is to make his home here. The grove is all in full grown trees and is said to be one of the best groves in this section of the country. Borchard also owns one-half of the McFadden tract, composed of 70 acres, which he plans to keep, it was said. Grand Jury Panel Miller and Case, Outgoing Members of Board, Standing for Re-Election; No Definite Announcement Has Been Made by Opponents; Charles A. Boege and David Jessurun Contesting for Treasurership THE question of who will lead the Republican and Democratic parties in the coming national campaign is a fertile topic for discussion, but at present that subject has been subordinated to another question—who will be candidates for seats at the city council table. Councilmen L. E. Miller and A. Curtis Case are the retiring members of the board, and both have announced themselves as candidates for re-election. There will be opposing candidates, of course, as a law-making body always incurs the displeasure of many people, regardless of what it does. But the burning question now is, who will enter the field against them. It appears that the city has been pretty well combed in an effort to find men competent enough for the position and popular enough to lead the opposition to victory. Many have been mentioned, but it is understood that most of them have declined, with emphasis, to saddle themselves with a job in which they are certain to make a host of enemies. Three names have been discussed this week—John Cook, John Brunworth, and John Dwyer—but it is reported that Mr. Dwyer has refused to consider the nomination. Whether Mr. Cook and Mr. Brunworth will accept and make the race is not yet announced. Both these men have served on the council and were known as staunch advocates of progress and improvement. Both have had experience and know the difficulties they would encounter in endeavoring to please everybody, should they be elected. There are two candidates for the city treasurer's job. Charles A. Boege, who has filled the position for many years, faithfully and efficiently, is seeking re-election, and David Jessurun is announced as a candidate against him. Mr. Boege has served in this important office with integrity and ability, and has easily overcome all opponents heretofore. Mr. Jessurun is a director and vice-president of the Anaheim National Bank, and is thoroughly competent for the position. The race is expected to be a spirited one. Nobody has yet had the temerity to shy his castor into the ring against E. B. Merritt for city clerk, although it is rumored that several are casting covetous eyes toward his seat. Mr. Merritt was first elected city clerk so long ago that the oldest inhabitant does not remember the date. Since he took the job many babies have been born, grown up and now have families of their own. At the close of the first year of his service he was rated as the most efficient city clerk in California, which is improved every year since. Grand Jury Panel Selected by Judge Nineteen to Be Selected Out of Thirty Talesmen Drawn The panel of 30 talesmen which will provide the 19 members of the county grand jury of 1928 was made public by Superior Judge James L. Allen, who will have charge of the next grand jury. The list covers all districts of the county. In announcing his selections, Judge Allen stated that he has sought to make the panel representative not only of all localities, but also all professions and occupations. The list is as follows: J. J. Dwyer, 501 N. West street, Anaheim, rancher, official of the county farm bureau and member of the county flood control advisory committee; William Falkenstein, 213 East Broadway, Anaheim, merchant; Mrs. Ross Phegley, 727 North Philadelphia street, Anaheim, housewife; W. L. Jordan, Balboa, realtor; L. L. Lemon, Buena Park, oil company superintendent; Abe Yost, Brea, retired oil company superintendent; Arley Leck, San Juan Capistrano, rancher; John R. Gardiner, 1021 North Harvard, Fullerton, implement dealer and former city official; Harold Segerstrom, Greenville, rancher; Dell P. Brady, Garden Grove, rancher; Harry V.

Y.M.C.A. Meeting at Elks Club Tonight Several hundred patrons of the Anaheim Y.M.C.A. are expected to gather Nobody has yet had the temerity to shy his castor into the ring against E. B. Merritt for city clerk, although it is rumored that several are casting covetous eyes toward his seat. Mr. Merritt was first elected city clerk so long ago that the oldest inhabitant does not remember the date. Since he took the job many babies have been born, grown up and now have families of their own. At the close of the first year of his service he was rated as the most efficient city clerk in California, and he has improved every year since that date. He is a walking encyclopedia regarding the city's affairs, and his departure from the city hall would be a serious loss to every official in it. Fitting Tribute to George Washington Daughters of Revolution Celebrate His Birthday On Wednesday evening, February 22, the Mother Colony chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, with their families and guests, fittingly celebrated, the birth of the Father of His Country by a banquet at the high school cafeteria, followed by ceremonies of a patriotic nature. Judge Homer Ames, himself a son of the Revolution, acted as master of ceremonies. Pupils of Miss Buckley of the high school put on a stirring one-act play, Colonel M. B. Wellington of Santa Ana gave the chief address of the evening. It was a masterly appreciation of the character of Washington. Other delightful features of the program were musical numbers by Mrs. Ruth Smith and Louis and Esther Romoff. The evening closed with the singing of "America" and the reading of George Washington's prayer by Percy S. Olds. Ladies of the Concordia Club were hostesses at a card party held at the clubhouse Monday. The sixty guests present were enjoyably entertained by the hostesses. Y. M. C. A. Meeting at Elks Club Tonight Several hundred patrons of the Anaheim Y.M.C.A. are expected to gather in the Elks clubhouse this evening, at 6:30 o'clock, for the annual membership banquet and meeting. An address by Albert E. Roberts, senior town and country secretary of the international staff of the Y.M.C.A.; a report by Secretary Conrad Jongweard on the past year's activities of the Anaheim "Y," and the annual election of officers and directors will be important features of the meeting. A nominating committee composed of Fred LeRoy Marsh, the Rev. Thomas H. Walker, Perry Mathis, Carl Leonard, and M. E. Beebe is at work preparing a "slate" of candidates to be voted upon at this time. P. A. STANTON ENDORSED Petitions signed by leading Republicans throughout Orange county endorsing P. A. Stanton of Seal Beach for national committeeman, have been taken to Sacramento by T. B. Talbert and turned over to the Republican state committee. Mr. Stanton is a candidate for delegate at large from California to the national convention. R. Y. Williams of San Juan is a candidate for the Eleventh congressional district, as is also R. B. Harbison of San Bernardino. California will have 29 delegates in the convention, two from each congressional district, and seven at large. The state will send a solid delegation to the convention for Hoover. Pacific coast and Rocky mountain states are all solidly behind Hoover. Mr. Stanton was formerly national committeeman from California, and filled the office with honor to himself, and with great advantage to the party. Charles D. Van Wyck, walnut grower and commander American Legion, all of Santa Ana; Harry Pieper, Tustin, feed and fuel dealer; Charles Artz, Tustin, merchant; Ed Larter, Westminster, retired rancher; J. J.

And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do Justice, to love mercy and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation.

Because many l that his light te Meech reason equippe that th out the stage, night a Placentians Ask Anaheim to Take Lead in Movement to Establish Joint College for North End of County; Fullerton Chamber of Commerce to Meet With Anaheim Chamber to Thresh Out Proposal THE movement for a junior college, embracing all the school districts in the third supervisor district, was discussed at a joint meeting of the Anaheim and Placentia Chambers of Commerce, held at the Elks clubhouse, Thursday evening. Nearly all of those who entered into the discussion favored the project, and should Fullerton favor the proposal, there is no question that such a school will be ultimately established. There is a possibility, too, that the matter may be carried through should Fullerton hold aloof, as the balance of the district is amply able to build and maintain such a school. The Placentia contingent at the meeting voiced the desire that Anaheim should take the initiative in the matter, promising that the Placentia district would heartily support it. Placentia is strenuously opposed to the proposed $600,000 bond issue for constructing additional buildings for the Fullerton Junior College, these buildings to be used in establishing the 6-4-4 plan, which provides for three institutions, one to handle the first six grades, and the other two for four grades each. Ralph McFadden of Placentia asserted that the plan would in effect tax Placentia and other districts contributing to Fullerton for the expansion of the grade schools in Fullerton, whereas, all these districts maintain their own grade school systems. Mr. McFadden is chairman of the Placentia Chamber of Comerce educational committee. When the junior college idea first was discussed there was sentiment for one centrally located institution to serve all Orange county, this speaker asserted it developed, however, that Santa Ana was playing politics and that it desired to enter no such arrangement. Since this development, it was pointed out. Fullerton has taken the lead in a move to centralize the northern Orange county school system. Mr. McFadden called attention to the fact that the county board of supervisors has appropriated $1000 to be expended in making a county school survey. This survey is proposed to reveal the exact school needs of the district and to result in recommendations as to those needs. The speaker asserted that much saving of money should result from awaiting this survey. J. A. Clayes, principal of the Anaheim Union high school, explained the educator's attitude toward problems now confronting the state's schools, explaining that several of the larger universities are making it virtually impossible for certain types of students to obtain another and for them yellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy and demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Anaheim Doctor Languishes in Jail B. Franklin Badgley, Chiropractor, Held for Contempt Dr. B. Franklin Badgley, chiropractor, of this city, is in the county jail, where he was ordered incarcerated by Judge Ames, Saturday, for contempt of court because of his failure to pay a certain sum for the maintenance of his wife, as previously ordered by the court. His attorney, John F. Groene, of Los Angeles, flirted with the same fate when he branded the court's decision as unjust and tyranalc. An ominous silence settled on the room after Groene's accusation. The attorney, but under the collar at the ruling, took off his spectacles and wiped them as he thought the situation over. He was reminded that his remarks made him subject to fine and imprisonment. "Do you still insist that the decision is unjust and tyranalc?" asked Judge Ames, after a moment in which he evidently suppressed considerable feeling. "I'll withdraw that remark," Groene said in a less belligerent voice. The fiery red of his face had changed to another color. "I realize that I overstepped my bounds in making it." The court indicated that the matter was dropped. Groene gave notice that he would take case to the appellate court. He also stated that he would apply at once for a writ of habeas corpus for his client. The records in the cash show that Mrs. Badgely's suit for divorce was set for trial on March 7. On February 3, Badgely was ordered to the county jail pending the payment to Mrs. Badgely of $730. Judge Ames pointed out that this commitment had been withheld. Judge Ames further explained that the ruling demanding support for Mrs. Badgely had been made after careful investigations by the court relative to Badgely's ability to pay, and declared that, by his own testimony, the defendant had not complied with instructions. Groene repeatedly attempted to introduce evidence to show why Badgely had not paid the money, stating that he could show good cause why he was not able to put up the cash. Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock Issues Statement Showing Past Year's Crop Was Largest in Our History; Soil Yielded Growers Nearly $39,000,000; Avocados and Peppers Coming to the Front A REPORT showing the production and value of all the crops, horticultural and agricultural, grown from the soil in Orange county in 1927 has just been issued by Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock. It shows that the year 1927 was the most prosperous one the growers of the county ever experienced. The money paid them for the year's output of their lands was ten million dollars greater than that of the previous year. The grand total of all crops gathered during the year reached the enormous value of $38,-819,271.16. The greater bulk of this income, of course, came from the citrus orchards, the total revenue derived from them being $28,394,661.31. King Valencia outclassed all the others, the Valencia orchards yielding 6,278,112 boxes, selling for $24,924,281.53. The lemon crop was second, the Orange counties producing 931,606 boxes, bringing the grower $24,855,591.81. The navels only totaled 283,662 boxes, the crop selling for $909,843.08. Following are the figures covering the several divisions of the year's crop: Citrus crop $28,394,661.31 Walnut crop $3,685,793.01 Total orchard crop $32,854,852.53 Pepper crop $1,144,160.00 Total of truck crops $2,122,910.00 Bean crop $2,037,951.66 Sugar Beets $766,296.17 Grain $300,690.80 Hay $710,812.00 Total of field crops $3,815,750.62 Brock's survey is based on reports from inspectors in the several districts and on figures supplied by marketing associations and individual growers. He pointed to avocados, berries, and persimmons as products which appear certain of occupying an important place in farm activities here. The so-called alligator pear more than trebled its financial return; jumping from $29,000 in 1926 to $934,400 in 1937. Acreage bearing increased from 58 to 199, while non-bearing land was boosted from 389 to 419 acres. Berries demonstrated an even more striking climb when they rose from a $32,000 return in 1926 to $107,056 in 1927. Acreage increased from 67 to 218. Persimmons, which heretofore have been assigned only a minor place in Orange county figures, came to the front with a $66,499 return having risen from the lowly figure of $7,521.40. Land devoted to this fruit increased from 36 to 162 acres. Peppers also recorded a remarkable increase; jumping from $564,740 in 1926 to $1,144,160 in 1927. Truck crops produced $2,122,910 in fact that the county board of supervisors has appropriated $1090 to be pended in making a county school survey. This survey is proposed to reveal the exact school needs of the district and to result in recommendations as to those needs. The speaker asserted that much saving of money should result from awaiting this survey. J. A. Clayes, principal of the Anaheim Union high school, explained the educator's attitude toward problems now confronting the state's schools, explaining that several of the larger universities are making it virtually impossible for certain types of students to obtain a higher education. Stanford, he indicated, is closing its undergraduate classes; Berkeley is moving in a similar direction. "The student just out of high school has not developed fixed habits of study," said this speaker. "He would, if sent from home, be subjected to strange conditions and perhaps moral influences not the best. Therefore, it seems that the junior college idea is the proper solution." A joint meeting between the Fullerton and Anaheim Chambers of Commerce is scheduled for noon today, when the question of a college embodying all of northern Orange county will be discussed. Anaheim Barber Held After Accident Charles O. Kuepper, proprietor of a barber shop in the United Cigar Store, Anaheim, is being held in the Los Angeles county jail on a charge of suspicion of manslaughter, following an automobile accident in Los Angeles, Monday, in which Mrs. Corisepciori Galdivar, of Pico, was killed. According to a report at the sheriff's office in Los Angeles, Kuepper drove his machine into the rear of a truck in which Mrs. Galdivar was a passenger. The impact demolished the truck, the woman being thrown to the pavement. Kuepper told officers that the truck carried no tail light. A coroner's inquest will be held today to determine responsibility for the accident.Pending the inquest, Kuepper is being held in Jail. Santa Ana Minister Talks to Rotarians Rev. George Warmer, pastor of the First Methodist church of Santa Ana, was the speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Rotarians Monday. His subject was "Blue Ribbon Rotarians." Conrad Jongownard was chairman for the day. The speaker lauded Thomas A. Edison, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, and cited them as good examples for Rotarians to follow. A resolution commending the city council for inaugurating its ornamental lighting and tree planting campaign was introduced and passed unanimously. Speakers also took occasion to hand bouquets to the city government for carrying through these improvements, which will add much to the appearance of the city. Manager Ernie Johnson led his little troupe to the fair grounds Tuesday morning, where the first arrivals among the gunners and the early birds among the catchers looked over the plant and then began their work with the time-honored practice of "playing catch."

Jes Statement Year's Crop Our History; growers Nearly avocados and go to the Front State Traffic Officers Testing All Headlights ORANGE county state traffic officers, in a headlight test given motorists near Orana Monday night, gave out 100 citations for poor lights and made 10 arrests, according to a statement made Tuesday by Henry Meehan, captain. "We found more lights out of adjustment, defective and in poor condition Monday night than at any time in the past. Fully 60 per cent of the cars we stopped had poor lights," Meehan said. Because of the condition of so many lights on cars, Meehan said that his men would continue to give light tests for the next several weeks. Meehan could give no particular reason for finding so many cars equipped with poor lights, and stated that the condition of lights throughout the county was at its lowest stage, if the cars stopped Monday night acted as a criterion. SPEAKER LAUDS FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY KIWANIANS HEAR INTERESTING ADDRESS ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON Charles Millikin of Los Angeles, Chief Speaker at Tuesday's Luncheon; Deplores Fact That Atheism and Anarchy Are Taught by Some Instructors in America's Schools; Judge Homer G. Ames Presided WASHINGTON was the subject of Charles Millikin, chief speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday noon, Mr. Supt. Gauer Leaves On Trip to Boston Will Attend National Convention of School Superintendents Superintendent Melbourne A. Gauer of the city schools left Tuesday for Boston to attend the national convention of school superintendents and high school principals which will be held in that city from February 27 to March 1. Several other Orange county educators were in the party which left Los Angeles Tuesday in two special coaches. It is estimated that 15,000 teachers from all parts of the United States would be in attendance at the convention. The trip from Los Angeles to Boston is to be made without stopover but, following the convention, Mr. Gauer plans to visit schools in New York, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, and Denver before turning his face homeward. Superintendent Gauer expects to return to Anaheim about March 19. During his absence the business affairs of the school office will be in charge of his secretary, Miss Bessie Renner, and administrative problems will be considered by the principals' council, which meets regularly every two weeks. Parent Teachers to Aid Art Exhibits Pictures From Laguna Studio to Be Shown in Schools Plans for a more ambitious program of art appreciation in the schools of Orange county during the coming year of 1928-29 were disclosed by Mrs. A. B. Marshall, art chairman for the fourth district, Congress of Parents and Teachers, at a luncheon held in Ketner's cafe, Santa Ana, Tuesday. The travelling art exhibits which have been shown for the past two years under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher Associations of the county, consist of 25 representative paintings from the brushes of the Laguna art colony and have included gems from such artists as Anna Hills, Conway Griffith, Edgar Payne, Frank W. Cuprien, Karl Yens, Ruth Peabody, and many others. The pictures are hung in the schools for a period of two weeks to be studied and Charles Millikin of Los Angeles, Chief Speaker at Tuesday's Luncheon; Deplores Fact That Atheism and Anarchy Are Taught by Some Instructors in America's Schools; Judge Homer G. Ames Presided WASHINGTON was the subject of Charles Millikin, chief speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday noon. Mr. Millikin was formerly president of the Los Angeles Kiwanis Club. His topic was "Present Day Application of the Characteristics of Washington." He pictured Washington as the greatest character in our history, and deplored that his precepts are not universally practiced by the present generation of Americans, who are drifting away from his ideals. "The two outstanding characteristics of this patriot," the speaker asserted, "were faith and fidelity. When stress of battle and discouragements came, he appealed to God for divine guidance. It was this guidance which brought the American people into a position favored among nations. I believe that our nation may well be said to be composed of people chosen by Providence." "Utter fidelity to the tasks he found confronting him won the confidence of Washington's followers. He was sincere and he threw his whole self and all he possessed into his battles." The speaker deplored the presence in the public schools of teachers who are, he said, teaching doctrines of atheism and anarchy. He urged every patron of the schools to know intimately the teachers directing their children, and to insist upon the right kind of teaching. In all our nation there is no problem more serious than that of our schools," the speaker declared. "The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. To them must be entrusted the affairs of the nation. "It is time for the American public to awaken to the danger lurking in atheistic and anarchistic propaganda," the speaker asserted. "If we allow the repeal of the Volstead act before it's recognized as uniformly enforced, our nation will be one step nearer anarchy." Judge Homer G. Ames, a former president of the club, acted as toastmaster and introduced the speaker. Reginald Taylor sang a couple of solos, Miss Katherine Steward accompanying him on the piano. The club voted to support the HI-Y benefit performance to be given at the high school auditorium March 2. County Shrine Club To Meet in Anaheim Will Gather at Concordia Club House Tomorrow Night County Shrine Club To Meet in Anaheim Will Gather at Concordia Club House Tomorrow Night Hundreds of Orange county Shriners, members of the Orange County Shrine Club, are expected to gather in Anaheim Friday evening for the club's first party of the new season, to be held in the Concordia clubhouse, according to plans announced by H. M. Miller of Anaheim, president of the club. The affair will be in the form of a "Dutch" party, an innovation successfully carried out by the Shriners here last year. Many of the guests will appear in Dutch costumes, and Dutch foods will predominate the menu of the 6:30 o'clock dinner that is to open the affair. Arrangements are being made by an entertainment committee composed of Carl Mock of Santa Ana, W. G. Stevens of Fullerton, and J. P. Probst, F. E. Valentine, E. H. Hightower, E. F. Wiseman, Vic La Mont, George E. Larson, and Jack Corn of Anaheim. In charge of receiving the guests will be a committee composed of Dick Haster and J. O. Pyle, regular committee members, and Charles Hogan, A. Curtis Case, F. L. Fisher, L. P. Vincent, and W. P. Wallop, all of Anaheim. Tention that it is impossible under the law for a part of a city high school district to secede. Diehl and Anderson, Costa Mesa attorneys representing the petitioners declare that they will try to establish the contention that this is a union high school district. Their case is believed to rest on this point. If it is lost in the superior court, an appeal will be taken to the higher courts, the attorneys indicated.
