Leonard Evans Is Rotary Speaker Tells Club Home Life Responsible for Much Crime Leonard Evans, attorney, was the orator at 'the Rotary Club luncheon Monday. Dr. Gustav Reich was the chairman for the day, and introduced the speaker. Mr. Evans' subject was "The Sauses of Crime," he gave it as his opinion that home environment is responsible for a large percentage of the crimes committed in these days. "Legislation is only a deterrent for crime and it can never be more than that, because it deals with the results and not the causes of the problem," he stated. "There is a cry," he said, "for more speedy and effective punishment of offenders against society on the theory that harsher methods will aid in reducing crime. Punishment of criminals could not be a great deal more effective than it is today," he said, pointing out that the national crime commission, in a recent report, stated that the number of chronic criminals that go unpunished is not as great as many people imagine. "Homes broken through divorces and separations, which throw the children upon society to fend for themselves, benefit of the guidance and leadership of their natural guardians, must bear the major share of the blame for the crime wave." "Some means should be developed whereby the government could take children under its wing and see that the yare raised under conditions as nearly favorable as a good home would be possible," he declared.

Cash prizes totaling $1175 and two valuable silver trophies will be awarded in the feature exhibit division.

The show this year is larger, grander, and more magnificent than ever, and affords a spectacle of truly oriental splendor.

Mrs. Sheridan New Regent of D. A.R. Mother Colony Chapter Elects Officers at Meeting Friday Northern Orange County Exchange Offers Reward of $150 per Head for Thieves; Supervisors Asked to Offer Additional Sum;Sheriff Jerrigan and Motorcycle Squad Take Steps to Stop Depredations STIMULATED by the high price of oranges,the wholesale orchard robber is becoming active in Orange county,and extraordinary precautions are now being taken to stop his depredations.Among the latest victims of the thieves are William Schumacher chairman of the board of supervisors,and P.C.Huddleson.of Katella road.Mr. Schumacher found 40 trees.in the heart of his orchard at Buena Park stripped of their fruit,and while the actual value of the stolen fruit cannot be determined,his estimates his loss at $500.Two rows of trees in Mr. Huddleson's grove were completely denuded,the loss being heavy. The fact that Valencias are now selling in the eastern markets at nearly ten dollars a box,and the price steadily advancing.is an incentive to the raiders to ravage the orchards and.,unless their activities are checked,the growers in this section will lose many thousands of dollars. Sheriff Sam Jerrigan was appealed to by the exchange,and both he and Captain Meehan of the state motorcycle force.have promised to furnish patrols to guard the orchards until the harvest is all gathered. Officials of the Northern Orange County Exchange met at a dinner and business session at the Elks clubhouse Thursday night.William H.Schurenman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association acting as chairman.In addition to other matters,the question was discussed,and it was decided to offer a reward of $150 for the apprehension of any thief.The supervisors also were asked to offer a reward for the apprehension of thieves.With such precautions it is probable that the wholesale robber will be checked.

This is Ford's latest and greatest achievement.

The car was secured for exhibition here through the efforts of F. A. Yungbluth, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and George W. Reid, manager of the show, who were assisted in their efforts by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the Southern California Ford dealers. It will be an attraction to the show, as thousands of interested people are anxious to see the much exploited car. Valencias Starting To Move Faster One hundred and fifty carloads of Valencia oranges, valued at approximately $500,000, were shipped from the northern Orange county district last week, a check-up of the packing houses revealed. With the current market prices, all grades of fruit will average better than $3000 a car. During the week 120 cars of Valen- cias and 27 cars of lemons were shipped through the houses of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange. Market conditions are firm, with fancy fruit bringing from $8 to $9 at various markets, it is reported.

Although there are many brands of avocados, the 'fuerte' is the outstanding avocado in Southern California, according to a report sent out by the California Avocado Association. Officials of the association declare that the price for this season will be the best in many years. The heavy crop is due to the light yield of the past two years, and also to the increasing acreage which is coming into bearing in this territory. The largest acreage in the county is in La Habra heights, where hundreds of acres have been planted during the past few years. Interest in the avocado groves has been increasing recently and prices ranging from $3000 to $6000 an acre have been paid.
