Next Year’s Crop Of Oranges Will Be Very Heavy
BIG crop of oranges is anticipated for next year, according to ranchers in this vicinity, who state that the "setting" of fruit is excellent.
It is too early, however, to predict the size of the crop due, it was stated, to the fact that the hot summer months may cause much of the small fruit to drop.
Prices may not be as high next year as this year, because of the possible greater supply, but each year there is a greater demand for oranges, and as a result, prices will continue to hold up or to increase, according to exchange officials.
Greater interest is being shown in lemons than for many years. This year the prices have been much higher than for many years, and lemon growers are beginning to take a greater interest in their product.
During the past four years many lemon groves have been replanted to oranges or have been neglected to such an extent that the groves have become virtually worthless.
With the increasing prices, the fu-
PRAISING the orange show as the most magnificent, the most spectacular, and the most ingeniously arranged of any event he had ever seen, Gov. C. C. Young Friday night addressed the thousands of patrons of the show and lauded Anaheim for its enterprise in perfecting the exhibit. The big exhibition continues to attract additional thousands of spectators.
The governor's address brought to a close the formal part of a full evening's program presented under the auspices of the American Legion posts of the county. The address was preceded by the coronation of Miss Ada Williams, sponsored by Fullerton, as queen of the show. Another of the preliminary features of the program which met with generous applause was the singing of the Legion Auxiliary Glee Club from Santa Ana.
Little Miss Gertrude Casper, an Anaheim dancer, favored and pleased with aesthetic dances. Reginald Taylor, Anaheim baritone soloist, was well received.
After complimenting the show management on the excellence of its efforts, the governor explained briefly the functions of government which he said affects most closely the farming industry.
All records for attendance have been smashed, thousands of interested and charmed vilsters from all points of the compass flocking in to get a glimpse of what is heralded as the most beautiful exhibition ever staged in California. The program of entertainment on the stage is changed each day, and the performers are the best now appearing before the public.
The packing contest between girl packers competing for the world's championship is one of the chief attractions, as few of the visitors have any knowledge of this phase of the citrus industry. Eighteen crack packers, chosen by elimination try-outs in various California packing houses, started the first heat at 7:30 o'clock Monday night.
Mabel Weaver and Lulu Bloom, representing the American Fruit Growers' house at Lindsey, northern California, made the best time in the packing contest in which they competed with Dora Meyerhoff and Alma Schroeder of the Olive Fruit Company house at Olive. Miss Weaver took the place of Miss Nora Miller, who was unable to take part in the event.
The time made by Monday night's contestants were as follows: Mabel Weaver, 7 minutes 20 seconds; Lulu Bloom, 8 minutes 18½ seconds; Dora Meyerhoff, 9 minutes 17 3-5 seconds, and Alma Schroeder, 8 minutes 54 4-5 year there is a greater demand for oranges, and as a result, prices will continue to hold up or to increase, according to exchange officials.
Greater interest is being shown in lemons than for many years. This year the prices have been much higher than for many years, and lemon growers are beginning to take a greater interest in their product.
During the past four years many lemon groves have been replanted to oranges or have been neglected to such an extent that the groves have become virtually worthless. With the increasing prices, the future may also wa greater acreage in lemons, local growers believe.
Bob Shuler Speaks At Forum Dinner
Attacks Judge Lindsey's Companionate Marriage Doctrine
Rev. Bob Shuler, pastor of Trinity Methodist church of Los Angeles, and one of the most noted initial orators in the west, was speaker at the Men's Open Forum Club at White Temple church Monday night. Shuler's subject was "Companionate Marriage," and his discourse was an answer to Judge Lindsey of Denver, who recently came out in advocacy of the new doctrine of trial marriage. While he is a spectacular speaker and frequently uses forceful language in his arguments, on this occasion his remarks were mild but pointed.
"I have no objection to the use of birth control measures, when they are used for regulating the size of families consistent with the means of the parents, but Judge Lindsey's proposal would mean race suicide," he said.
Characterizing the science of eugenics and birth control as a lot of newfangled theories," the speaker declared that none of the great men of today were produced in families where these "high-falootin' ideas" prevailed.
"Divorce should be made harder instead of easier," he said, attacking Judge Lindsey's idea of marriage by mutual consent.
If Judge Lindsey's ideas are carried out, a man can have a companionate wife in high school, another in college, another when he becomes cashew in the bank, another when he is vice-president, and still another when he is president," the speaker declared.
Discussing the judge's proposal of divorce by mutual consent, the pastor declared that it would provide a means whereby a man could live with a woman for 10 years or more, rob her of the best years of her life, and then cast her aside for some pretty flapper he might become interested in, with no financial responsibility to his first wife.
The speaker, using his southern drawl, which he acquired as a youth in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, filled his address with numerous anecdotes and humorous illustrations.

Tuesday night, Marjorie Richards and Jessie Weldon of the Red Fox Orchards, Orange, and Mrs. Raymond Anderson and Mrs. Nellie Sowles of the Tom Anderson packing house, Lindsay, were the competing teams. Last night, Ruth Smith and Musa Pinkstoff of the Demerel-Allison house, at Covina, contested with Georgia Gray and Juanita Johnson, representing the American Fruit Growers, Lindsay.
Each of the competitors in these contests will be judged on a point basis, and the individual packer making the highest score in each day's contest will have the privilege of entering the final contest for the world's championship.
Each of the teams will also be judged on a point basis, the team making the highest score to be awarded the Los Angeles Express trophy. It is announced.
Date for the championship contest has not yet been set, but is expected to be the last day of the orange show.
Six entries have been made in the fancy orange packing contest, which is to be held following the conclusion of the regular packing contest.
In this event the various entrants will work out an original design in their pack, the judging to be based on the cleverness and originality of the design, as well as on the speed and neatness with which it is executed.
Mrs. H. W. Pierce, wife of the manager of the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association; Mabel Anderson, of the Tom Anderson packing house, Lindsay, and Raymond Anderson, of the same house in Lindsay, will be among the entrants. A packer is to be entered also by the Red Fox Orchards, Orange; by the Olive Hillside Groves, Olive, and the Olive Heights Association, Olive.
The prizes in the straight packing contest besides the Express trophy, include a trophy presented by the Broderdex Company, Los Angeles, with $100 in gold; second prize, $50 in gold and other awards, and third prize, $30 in gold and other awards.

The Express trophy offered to the packing house entering the winning team must be won three successive times to become the permanent possession of any one house. The Red Fox Orchards at Orange captured the cup when it was offered for the first time last year.
Discussing the judge's proposal of divorce by mutual consent, the pastor declared that it would provide a means whereby a man could live with a woman for 10 years or more, rob her of the best years of her life, and then cast her aside for some pretty flapper he might become interested in, with no financial responsibility to his first wife.

or four years ago a lot was purchased from Mrs.Hurtado at the corner of Broadway and Clementine street by the official board of the church,the purchase price being given as $14,000.The congregation was not then ready to begin work on the new structure which.it was announced, would cost more than a hundred thousand dollars But an opportunity to sell the old building at a fair price was presented,and was accepted.Work on the new structure will probably begin at once.The church building long ago grew too cramped and inconvenient for the congregation.
The church was sold to the Nazarenes society,which will immediately take possession and hold services therein but by an amicable arrangementthe former owners will also continue to hold services in the building until the new structure is ready for occupancy.A joint program has been arranged whereby the two services will not conflict.
Purchase of the Presbyterian property by the Nazarenes marks the change of ownershipof the first Protestant church building in Orange county,the Presbyterian church structure having been erected in 1874,64 years ago。When it was built Orange county had not yet been separated from Los Angeles county and Anaheim was but a small vineyard colony.
Two of the original members of the church still reside in Anaheim,Mrs.Emma M.Grimshaw and her sister,Mrs.Louise B.Miller wife of the present mayor.
Final papers in the sale were signed early Saturday,Frank N.Gibbs,president ofthe board of trustees ofthe Presbyterian church,announced Monday morning.The consideration involved was not revealed.
According to the arrangements completed,the Presbyterian congregation will occupy the present structure jointly with the Nazarenes until January 1,1929,或 until the new church,which the Presbyterians plan to erect on property owned at the corner of Broadway and Clementine streets,has been sufficiently completed to be used for services,it is announced.
Signing of the contract marks the culmination of a deal which has been pending for nearly a year.The Nazarenes have been meeting for some time,在a temporary structure atthe corner of North and Claudina streets,但this building was razed several months ago。
Press Cameraman Killed at Crossing
On Road to Orange Show When Struck by Santa Fe Train
An inquest was held in Fullerton Tuesday over the body of Marvin Spafford. 32, Los Angeles newspaper cameraman, who was instantly killed Monday night when his automobile was struck by a Santa Fe passenger train at Northam crossing, north of Buena Park. The inquest was conducted by Coroner C. D. Brown, in the Seale funeral parlors.
The photographer was en route to the California Valencia Orange Show, in Anaheim, to take pictures for the Los Angeles Examiner, when his death occurred. Spafford and his machine were carried more than a quarter of a mile along the railroad track after the collision.
The accident occurred at 7:10 p.m. Spafford is said to have rounded the curve onto the railroad tracks at a high rate of speed. Friends who were following him in another car reported that they did not see the train approaching the crossing and narrowly averted being struck also.
The crossing is said to be one of the most dangerous in the county. L. A. Newman, station agent at Northam, said that more than ten lives have been lost at the crossing in the last few years.
The passenger train was bound for San Diego and was in charge of W. H. Hart, engineer, and E. Howard, conductor. The engine of the train was disabled and the train was delayed more than two hours in Fullerton, Spafford's car was demolished, and burned after the wreck. His body was thrown clear of the wreck.
Spafford is survived by a wife and two children. He resided at 3030 Cordova street, Glendale.

Troy of Anaheim, safety chairman, received personal recognition from both the state chairman and an official representative of the state motor vehicle department. The publicity book of the Santa Ana City Council of Parent-Teacher Associations, prepared by Mrs. Mary B. Robertson and Miss Hazel Demus, received the only gold star given California at the national convention in Cleveland this spring. Only four blocks in all were chosen by the fourth district press chairman to represent the county, and all four were chosen by the state chairman for the national and state conventions. The remaining three books which were from the Tustin grammar school, the Santa Ana high school, and the fourth district itself, all received second prize ratings in their respective classes. The work of this department received unstinted praise from the platform and the fourth district was assured that it holds a high place in the quality of its work.
The California Congress of Parents and Teachers has just completed two years of the most constructive work ever attempted in its history. Chief among the projects initiated and supported by the organization is the Institute of Child Welfare on the Berkeley campus. Dr. Harvey Stoltz and Dr. Gertrude Laws are in charge of the work, all expenses being paid by the Laura Spellman Foundation of the Rockefeller Institute, except that of housing the institute, this expense being borne by the parent-teacher associations. Dr. Stoltz has just completed a year of intensive observation of child life, and the first bulletin is in print ready to mail the supporting parent-teacher institutions. In view of the great possibilities of the research work in this institution, the California Congress of Parents and Teachers voted to continue its financial support of the project as well as to continue the moral endorsement given it in the past two years.
Two scholarships were recommended to the incoming administration for support and establishment in the coming year; one in the study of rural life conditions under Dr. Harvey Eby, and will occupy the present structure jointly with the Nazarenes until January 1, 1929, or until the new church, which the Presbyterians plan to erect on property owned at the corner of Broadway and Clementine streets, has been sufficiently completed to be used for services, it is announced.

Proposed legislation given endorsement included constitutional amendment No. 31, which is an enabling act whereby the state will be authorized to give state aid to any "needy," physically handicapped person not now in an institution," instead of to the "indigent, deaf and blind," as the law now reads. The proposed park bond issue, under which new centers of recreation will be acquired; the county unit plan of consolidating the present number of school boards, 3260, into 100 district boards, with great resultant economies; and the work of the bureau of public health, all received the enthusiastic support of the convention by endorsement.

Big Packing Plant
Has Been Leased
By Bastanchury
A result of its increased citrus acreage, the Bastanchury Ranch Company has leased the packing house and equipment owned by the Union Pacific Company and formerly operated by the Elephant Orchards, Inc.
Bastanchury expects to operate the house to some extent toward the end of the season, and next year will operate the house throughout the entire season.
Nearly 6000 acres is planted to oranges in the vast holdings of the ranch company. Each year more and more of this acreage comes into bearing. By next year approximately 1000 additional acres will come into bearing. Bastanchury's now operate a large packing house on their ranch, in addition to the new plant now leased.
Toward fall, when the tomato season is at its peak, the ranch company will need the new plant now leased to handle the packing and shipping of this product. About 3000 acres will be put to tomatoes this year, it is thought.

More Complaints Against the Sewer
Newport Beach Council Will Appeal to Health Authorities
Charges that the city of Santa Ana had failed to keep faith with the city of Newport Beach in the construction of the outfall sewer were made at the Newport Beach city council meeting, when the question of joining with the Orange county health department was brought up for consideration.
The fact was pointed to by speakers on the floor of the council chamber that the health department had reported that the outfall sewer line was in good condition at the time the water bearing lands of Newport Beach were in danger of pollution. The council was urged not to contract with the health department and rellinquish the right to independent appeal to the state board of health for relief.
Dr. Conrad Richter, former mayor, said that the city had been forced to install a chlorination plant to protect the citizens of Newport Beach from typhoid.
J. P. Greeley and Lew Wallace, both serving on the special committee investigating conditions at the land end of the outfall sewer, said that at the time Santa Ana secured permission to run the sewer line, to the ocean the promise was made that all of the refuse would be run through a septic tank. This promise never was carried out, demonstrating bad faith on the part of Santa Ana, he said.
The city council delayed action on the contract to join with the Orange county health department until the next meeting.
