Troutman celebrated the sixty-sixth anniversary of the battle of Shiloh. Mr. Troutman belonged to the Sixth Iowa troops, and participated in that battle, which was one of the bloodiest of the war. He was fortunate enough to escape without injury, but many of his comrades were left on the field. The Alpha and Beta groups of the Delphian society held a joint meeting Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. W. Austin, on South Ohio street. Mrs. Nellie Wagner, of 506 North Lemon street, spent the Easter holidays with friends in Los Angeles. Mrs. Fannie Lyon and Miss Margaret Higgins of Hollywood left New York on April 2 for a six months' tour of Europe. Program at St. Michael's church next Sunday, first Sunday after Easter, is as follows: Holy communion at 8 a.m., church school at 9:45, and morning prayer and sermon at 11. Bidding for Leases In Orange County Oil Companies Competing for Land in Southern Section With five big oil companies jockeying for land and with more than 4000 acres already under lease to these companies, interest in the probability of a new oil field of large proportions is running high among the land owners from Westminster to the Santa Ana river and from a point two miles south of Bolsa to Chapman avenue. Virtually every strip of land within a radius of two miles of Bolsa is under lease, while the oil companies, with a number of men in the field, are working night and day in an effort to secure leases on property throughout the district. The companies are quoted as paying $3 an acre per month for the leases and some are reported as giving a one-sixth royalty for oil. One test rig already has been erected and is expected to spud in this week. This is located on the Sterling Price property, one mile west of Bolsa. The companies in the field are the Prairie Oil and Pipe Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company; the Standard, Marland, Shell, and Texas oil companies. The Prairie Oil Company has secured its leases from the Southern Pacific railroad tracks to Bolsa and south to and including the 200 acres owned by Sillas Wright. This company has 2000 acres under lease, it is said. The Standard Oil Company is reported as merely picking up offset leases here and there in and around Bolsa, most of which are located west of the town. The Marland company has leased 40 acres southeast of Bolsa. At the present time there is a strip of land approximately two miles wide, running northwest and southeast, between the Prairie leases and the leases of the Texas Oil Company, not as yet under lease. The Texas company now controls approximately 1250 acres, starting at the Pacific Electric railroad tracks and running west of Garden Grove.

So far as the concern is concerned, the working around, waiting each new set of success if you will think recall how cheerful used by your "assa she," kept using his patience and persevere you knew it. You gain And as you were on world to be conquered The business of being not confined to the mouth. The face in the everlasting things is no excuse for gringo. Nearly all conscientious under shouldn't a few opt on the smile Cheerfulness is a part of the mouth.

Other companies are expected in the field by the first of the week. They will seek accrage west all the way to Chapman avenue, it is believed. It is known that many ranchers have leased property from Garden Grove to the Chapman road. The Texas company will sink a well somewhere east of Garden Grove.

IF I LOOKS LIKE THAT ON I'LL BUY A NEW THE OPTIMIST The true optimist is not a blind follower of the band wagon. Standing on facts, he peers into the future with a smile of confidence. Success always lives on the other side of a stuggle, a fight. In the beginning, it is a struggle with self. This may never be fully mastered, but in just such measure as one masters self is one to succeed. No person ever mastered self by bemoaning the flaws that lurk within. Tears never wash away anything but self-reliance and self-respect, and heaven knows, we need all we have of these great treasures, without risking their loss in such a foolish pastime as the weeps! So far as the conquering business is concerned, the world isn't just standing around, waiting to be overcome by each new set of success-hunters. If you will think right hard, you'll recall how cheerfulness was the weapon used by your "assailant." And he, or she, kept using that weapon, with patience and perseverance until before you knew it, you gave in! And as you were conquered, so is the world to be conquered. The business of being an optimist is not confined to the facial muscles or the mouth. The fact that one believes in the everlasting possibility of better things is no excuse for being a grinning ginger. Nearly all humorists look like conscientious undertakers, so why shouldn't a few optimists tread softly on the smile. Cheerfulness is a state of mind, not of the mouth. The true optimist is the person who has a thought umbrella for every misfortune—rain that comes along; who isn't blind to what is wrong and out of joint, but looks facts square in the face and then goes to work to pave the way for those better things.

County Policemen Hear Talk on Dope Capt. G. M. Littlejohn Speaks at Association Meeting Experiences in the battle he has been waging for the past 12 years against the narcotic peddler and addict were told to 150 members of the Orange County Peace Officers' Association, and their wives and friends, by Captain G. M. Littlejohn, head of the narcotic detail of the Los Angeles police department. Littlejohn brought various "samples" of dope he had captured and passed it around among the officers so they could see what it looked like and so they could recognize it while in their line of work. Declaring that fully 75 per cent of the crimes committed in this country today were committed by users of narcotics and that fully 90 per cent of all dope addicts were criminals, Littlejohn stressed the necessity for more work against the peddler. He and his men have arrested more than 2500 addicts and peddlers during the past year, in Los Angeles, while more than 300 had been sent to San Quentin penitentiary during the past three years as the result of his efforts. Those who were given terms in the penitentiary were sellers of narcotics. Captain Littlejohn explained to officers how a peddler could be trapped, telling a number of his own experiences. He described mannerisms and telltale characteristics of the dope fiend that would help officers in their work. "The reason that most all dope users are criminals is because after they become users, it takes about $10 worth of drugs a day to satisfy their craving and as their minds and physical beings are weakened by the use of it, they are unable to earn that much. They have to have it, so they start their life of crime," he said. In demonstrating the way the various drugs are used, Captain Littlejohn explained to officers that there are dope users here as well as everywhere else, and that there is plenty of work to do in Orange county. Notable Speakers Engaged for Talks Public to Hear Many Educators During Annual School Week State headquarters in San Francisco for Public Schools Week, beginning April 23, has announced a notable group of speakers who will be heard at meetings in various sections of the state during the week.

New Parasites Will Aid Citrus Growers A young California entomologist, Harold Compere of the staff of the citrus experiment station of the University of California at Riverside, returned from Australia recently, bringing with him four insects which may prove to be of great worth to California growers of citrus fruits. Professor Compere was sent to Australia by the university authorities, with instructions from Dr. Harry S. Smith, insect investigator, to find the original habitat of the citrophilus mealybug. He was expected to remain two years in the Antipodes. He landed in Sydney, Australia, in August, 1927, however, and five months later was cabling to California for permission to return at once, in order to bring home specimens of four parasites which were aiding Australian agricultureists in freeing citrus trees and ornamentals from the mealybug. He had found, also, that the citrophilus mealybug is a native of Australia. "Strangely enough," says Professor Compere, "I found the mealybug within a quarter of a mile from the Sydney wharf, where my ship from America tied up. Certain ornamentals in the commonwealth botanical gardens were found infested there." How the young American prowled around the slums of Sydney, peering over back fences to find isolated ill-kept trees, which might be infested with the citrophilus mealybug makes an interesting story, as he tells it. "The greatest find of all," he says, "was a large mulberry tree growing in the backyard of a house in the tenement district of Sydney. This was covered both with the scale insects and the parasites. On this tree, which I purchased from the interested workingman who lived in the nearby house for the sum of one pound, or $5. I found most of the living parasites I obtained. "So well have the parasites done their work in Australia, that I could find but twenty-eight individual specimens of mealybug on citrus trees growing there, even with the aid of entomologists of the commonwealth. In all, but 300 specimens were obtained from citrus trees and ornamentals." Of the five parasitic insects discovered by Professor Compere, four of the living characteristics of the dope tend that would help officers in their work. "The reason that most all dope users are criminals is because after they become users, it takes about $10 worth of drugs a day to satisfy their craving, and as their minds and physical beings are weakened by the use of it, they are unable to earn that much. They have to have it, so they start their life of crime," he said. In demonstrating the way the various drugs are used, Captain Littlejohn explained to officers that there are dope users here as well as everywhere else, and that there is plenty of work to do in Orange county. "We have several dope users from Santa Ana come to Los Angeles to get their drugs," he said. Plans Trade Tour Of Utah and Idaho Union Pacific to Start Special For Those States May 19 Plans are rapidly being completed for a trade tour from Los Angeles to the principal cities in Utah and Idaho in the early spring. The trip, which will be by a special train operated over the Union Pacific, is sponsored by the domestic trade department of the Chamber of Commerce. According to the tentative plans which have been made by Charles P. Bayer, field secretary, the party will leave Los Angeles on Saturday, May 19, and will reach Los Angeles on return about May 27. "This is one of the most beautiful times of the year in the sections of the country to be visited," said Mr. Bayer, "and it is also the most favorable from the standpoint of business possibilities. The domestic trade department has been carrying on a most intensive market development campaign and reports that sentiment is extremely favorable to Los Angeles goods." The detailed itinerary is expected to be available shortly, but in the meantime business houses interested in these areas may secure further information from the passenger department of the Union Pacific or from Seward C. Simons, manager, domestic trade department of the Chamber of Commerce. The cities to be visited on the trip will include Cedar City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Brigham City, Logan, Lehi, American Fork, Provo, Spanish Fork, Payson, Nepht and Milford, Utah, and Idaho Falls, Blackfoot, Poatello, Caldwell, Napa, Boise, American Falls, Burley and Twin Falls, Idaho. Heavy Fines for Passing Deer Meat Pleas of "not guilty," carefully prepared alibis and a change of venue failed to save Sam Thompson and Cash Caley, of San Bernardino, and Jack Murphy, of Los Angeles, from a conviction for possession of deer meat in game refuge No. 4-A. Judge C. A. Johnson of Rialto tried the case and, after finding them guilty, each man was fined $500 and sentenced to serve 100 days in jail. The judge suspended $200 on each of the fines and suspended the jail sentence for one year, dependent upon the good behavior of the offenders. Eugene D. Bennett, executive officer and attorney for the Division of Fish Placentia Honors School Trustees Winthrop Bowen and J. A. Prizer were given a suitable reception at the regular meeting of the Placentia Chamber of Commerce held Thursday. These two men were the winners in the hotly contested high school trustee election, and both ran on a platform of efficiency of administration of the Fullerton Union high school, against the bond issue to establish junior high schools throughout the district and for a northern Orange county junior college on a campus of its own. Responses were made to the introductions, the program ending with a song by the members present entitled, "We Hope They Live to Be a Hundred," led by Secretary Tom Pickerill. President A. S. Bradford presided, with John C. Tuffree as master of ceremonies. H. H. Hale, newly elected president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county, also was recognized by the group. Judge C. A. Johnson of Rialto tried the case and, after finding them guilty, each man was fined $500 and sentenced to serve 100 days in jail. The judge suspended $200 on each of the fines and suspended the jail sentence for one year, dependent upon the good behavior of the offenders. Eugene D. Bennett, executive officer and attorney for the Division of Fish and Game, prosecuted the case, which was worked up by Deputy "Bill" Malone of the division, assisted by Deputy Sheriff Brown of San Bernardino county. Malone and Brown arrested the trio on the Crest road, in the game refuge, after finding two sacks containing the handquarters of two deer in Thompson's woodshed. The three men were riding in an automobile when apprehended, and had three rifles carefully concealed in the bottom of the car. Asked about the rifles, they claimed they had covered them with canvas to protect them from the dust. When it was brought out that there was a foot of snow on the ground at the time, the dust story was exploded. The defense claimed two strangers had called the day before and left the sacks which were found to contain the deer meat. The judge apparently was more impressed with the fish and game division's evidence than the alibi of the defendants, and found the three guilty. "This was an aggravated case and was hard fought." I am pleased that Judge Johnson showed such a fine spirit of co-operation in his sentence. It is only through constant vigilance and such co-operation that our game can be conserved." Bennett declared following the trial. There's one thing to be said for bobbed hair. The presence of women customers in the barber shops has improved the quality of the funny stories told there. Our idea of no place in which to be active in politics is Chicago. Court Action to Collect Judgment Indian Refining Company Brings Complicated Suit in Court The Indian Refining Company has appealed to the court in an effort to collect a judgment of $5270 from Clough C. Chapman and L. Sidney Chapman, sons of Colum C. Chapman of Fullerton. In a suit on file in superior court, the company alleges that in 1925 L. Sidney Chapman and Clough C. Chapman doing business as Chapman Brothers and also as Havoline Oil Company distributors, desired to purchase property and petroleum products from the Indian Refining Company. They represented that they owned an interest in an orange grove valued at $175,000, though title stood in the name of their father, the complaint states. To support their asserted claim, Colum C. Chapman wrote a letter to the refining company, corroborating his sons' statement, it is alleged. Later, when the Chapman brothers are said to have failed to pay their debt to the Indian Refining Company, the latter filed suit and got judgment against them for $5270. But efforts to collect the judgment failed when it was claimed that the two brothers had no property in Orange county, according to the complaint filed. Now the company wants to know what about that interest in the $175,000 orange grove. It claims that each son owns one-third interest in the grove, and asks the court to determine. The court is further asked to order Colum C. Chapman to make an accounting of profits to his sons, and to have sufficient funds diverted to the plaintiff to pay the $5270 judgment.
