Farm Bureau Will Honor L. O. Whitsell Leon O. Whitsell, president of the California State Railroad Commission, will be honored by the Orange County Farm Bureau on Thursday evening, March 22, at the dining-room of the Orange county fair grounds. The reception will be opened at 6:30 o'clock by a chicken dinner served by the Garden Grove ladies. Following by a short program, Mr. Whitsell will speak on the "Relations of the Railroad Commission to Agriculture." Mr. Whitsell was president of the Villa Park Farm Center when he received the appointment to the commission, and since then he has not only attained the presidency of the commission, but has exercised such influence as to change the policy and predilection of that important state institution. He is a "favorite son" of the farm bureau, and the organization is naturally very proud of the honor of entertaining him and the privilege of hearing him tell his experiences. The public, whether agriculturists or not, are invited to attend the meeting, but those wishing to attend the banquet should make reservations of the farm bureau at an early date in order to secure a place. Joplin Is Refused Suit on Jerome Superior Judge Homer G. Ames refused to issue a writ of mandate ordering W. C. Jerome, county auditor, to provide warrants for J. C. Joplin, treasurer, in payment for certain fees which the latter alleged were due him in connection with inheritance tax collections. Joplin had brought the case against Jerome when the latter did not issue the warrants, which are said to involve $100 a month in fees. Jerome refused on the ground that the money should go to the county not be claimed by Joplin's contention in law retaining 3 per cent in addition to $5000 in addition. "Fees are to be treasurer in his decision. It is his duty to the county and for his own use." Our idea of a one who will file croquet. 1927 INCOME TAX RECEIVED ARE NOW DUE AND MUST BE FILED March 15, 1928 VICTOR D. LOLY AUDIT CO EXPERT ACCOUNTANTS AND INCOME TAX 207-8 Kraemer Bldg. Ana D. L.

Joplin's contention pointed out a reference in law which provided for his retaining 3 per cent of collections over $5000 in addition to his salary. In his decision, Judge Ames said: "Fees are to be retained by the treasurer in his official capacity only. It is his duty to account therefore to the county and he cannot retain them for his own use." Our idea of a temperamental fellow is one who will get made over a game of croquet. BUENA PARK NOTES (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) The Sunday school board met Thursday evening in the community hall, and church trustees met at the same time in the church. At the close of the business meetings refreshments were served both boards in the community hall. The monthly business meeting of the Woman's Club was held Thursday afternoon in the clubhouse. Plans were made for the celebration of the thirty-ninth birthday of the club, March 9, and for a parcel post sale in the near future. Next fall's dahlia show was discussed, and it was suggested that the exhibit be open to wahla growers outside of Orange county, and that special inducements be given outside growers to exhibit. At close of the business sess the hostesses, Mrs. E. E. Thurman and Mrs. E. W. Thurman, served refreshments. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Cummins of West Virginia, who are spending the winter with their son, Ralph Cummins, visited last week with old friends in Long Beach. Mrs. L. E. Berkey, librarian, was on the sick list last week. Miss Harriet Stanley took her place at the library. J. C. Cole left Saturday for Imperial, to look after the alfalfa crop on his ranch there. Mrs. L. T. Wilsey entertained with a delightful luncheon Tuesday in honor of her mother, Mrs. E. E. Thurman. The guests were Mrs. L. A. Fry, Mrs. J. F.

Kipp of Long Beach has leased a store building on Grand avenue, in which he expects to open a paint store. Mr. Kipp is an experienced sign painter. Friends of Miss Margaret Cole, who has been sick since before Christmas, were glad to see her out at church Sunday. Mrs. W.B.Shaw and Mrs.L.J.Robe Protection for Concrete Pipe Rapid deterioration of concrete pipe when laid in soil containing alkali entails a heavy replacement coil annually to farmers. The bureau of public roads of the United States, Department of Agriculture have been cognizant of this loss and have endeavored to find a preservative that would serve to protect the pipe. Such a preservative has been found, and the bureau recommends as being economical and effective, four coatings of water-gas tar applied to the surface when dry at a rate of about one-fourth gallon per square yard of surface, followed by one coating of coal tar. This provides adequate protection provided the concrete is of good quality, has been properly fabricated, and is not leaner than 1-2-4 mix. In applying the water-gas tar, it necessary to allow time for the first coat to be absorbed before the second is applied. The last coating of coal tar should have from one to four days to dry before being allowed in contact with water. Burglars ransacked the home of A. L. Schulz, on Burton avenue, Sunday night, and carried away a purse containing $15. Mrs. Nellie E.

Gillis Loses in Appeal From Ames Must Be Tried in Orange County Superior Court for Bootlegging Charles Gillis, of Westminster, who recently escaped trial temporarily, on liquor charges, now will have a chance to prove his innocence in superior court. District Attorney Z. B. West Jr., announced. D. G. Wettlin, attorney for Gillis, lifted the matter out of the local courts when he contended that jurisdiction had been lost through failure to file information against Gillis within 15 days after he was held to answer by the Justice court. Formerly a 30-day period was allowed for bringing a defendant into superior court, but the last legislation reduced the time. Wettlin took the matter before the district court of appeals and secured an alternate write of mandate commanding Judge Homer G. Ames to show why the case should not be dismissed. The affair was taken from the local tribunal temporarily. Tuesday West received notice that the alternative writ had been dismissed and that the higher court had refused to grant a peremptory writ. Thus the case is scheduled to come back for trial in Judge Ames' court. It will come up for setting the trial date March 9. Deputy District Attorney S. R. Kaufman, who filed the information against Gillis, ended in the initial hearing that although the law had reduced the local period for bringing the defendant into court; the amendment does not provide a penalty for failure to comply with the new rule. The only penalty, he pointed out, is contained in the older law, which says that the case shall be dismissed within 30 days after the defendant is held to answer. If the information has not been filed. Gillis is charged with both possession keep the Edlow Soft, Resilient, Restful One Edlow INNER-SPRING Mattress will last you permanently.

MARCH 5 TO 10 Furniture Co. 2 Anaheim Sugar Beet Breeding Receives an Impetus Orange county sugar beet growers will be interested in a recent report to the farm advisor's office concerning the control of curly leaf. Breeding of sugar beets to resist curly top, being carried on at the University Farm, Davis, received an impetus recently, when the breeding experiment which has been conducted by the Spreckles Sugar Company at Spreckles for nine years was given to the University of California and the stock transferred to Davis. With the experiment, Miss Katherine Easau, trained in Germany, came to the branch of the College of Agriculture at Davis to carry on the experiment, which will be run with those already under way by the college here. According to Dr. W. W. Robbins of the botany division, one strain, known as P-19, has proved resistant to a promising degree, and work with it will be continued. Work in breeding beets for resistance to curly top was begun at Davis two years ago, in response to a demand from the best growers of the state, whose crops had been badly damaged that year by curly top. In addition to the breeding work, search for a parasite that may control the leaf hopper that carries the disease organism also is under way, and a study of the organism itself is being carried on.
