LOCAL BREVITIES Miss Esther Grewco, of the Enterprise Millinery, has closed her shop temporarily on account of illness in the family. She expects to open the business again in a few months, and in the meantime is enjoying a well-earned vacation. A small whisky still, one and a half gallons of whisky, and one prisoner were taken by sheriff's officers in a raid on the home of A. Valencia, Stanton, late Sunday night. The prisoner is Valencia himself, who, officers claim buried his still under the house in a hole, where it was found. A barrel of mash was destroyed by officers. Valencia is in the county jail, charged with owning and operating a still. Deputy Sheriffs Carter and Steward conducted the raid. The month of June started out to live up to its reputation of being a romantic month as far as matrimony is concerned. Also it began an attempt to make up for the decline in marriage licenses issued during May. Nineteen couples obtained legal sanction for entering wedlock the first day, according to County Clerk J. M. Backs, giving the month a flying start on its road to a possible record. During May, however, the total was 246, giving it a place next to the cellar position for 1928. Only February fell below this mark, when 242 permits were passed out. In May of last year the figure was 461.

A STATE QUESTION Pioneer Dies From Shock of Operation Jacob Yaeger Succumbs at Fullerton Hospital Sunday Jacob Yaeger, who for nearly half a century has been a resident in northern Orange county, died at a Fullerton hospital Sunday afternoon, following an operation for the amputation of a leg. For 42 years Mr. Yaeger worked a property in Trabuco canyon, firmly believing that it would yield gold and silver in paying quantities. He was about to realize his ambition as a firm at San Francisco was arranging to install a smelter on his property, but death overtook him at the moment of his success. Operations at the mine will not be allowed to lag. At Yaeger's expressed wish, his son, Fred W. Yaeger, and his daughter, Miss Lillian Yaeger of Fullerton will carry on. A pioneer of this district, in which he had resided for the past 48 years, Yaeger was widely known throughout Orange county. During the 42 years he had spent in developing the mine, Yaeger had dug a 2000-foot tunnel into the heart of the mountain, using a hand push cart and doing all the work himself. Yaeger first came to Orange county in 1880, settling in Anaheim, where he operated a blacksmith and wagon shop, practicing his trade of carriage maker. A native of Weingarten, Baden, Germany, where he was born in 1861, Yaeger would have been 67 years of age October 5 of this year. More than two weeks ago, while alone at the mine, he was stricken with a creeping paralysis in his right leg, with a resultant restriction of the circulation. Miss Lillian Yaeger, fearing that he might be ill, went to the mine May 21 and, with the aid of Forest Ranger A. C. Siercy, brought him out on horseback over two miles of trail to her car. In an effort to save his life an operation to remove the leg was performed, but he succumbed to the shock. Noah Beery is a brave man, as any movie with the wreck of a car shown herewith unless Trout Club, near Los Angeles, is digging up famous 72-hour travel and accident insurance. Noah Beery "goes down to the sea in ships," fights pirates, engages savages in hand-to-hand combat, and so forth. You've seen him at it on the screen. He's a brave fellow. It has even been said that Noah once almost of the finest cars made. The actor distrust of "lizzle" the on a trip to A STATE QUESTION The investigation which the federal trade commission is making into propaganda and lobbying activities of utilities shows that this combination has maintained a very active lobby, one that has interested itself in affairs not directly touching their interests. It has prepared booklets for the schools of the New England states, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa; have offered them free of charge, and have used pressure on superintendents of education to put these booklets into common use. Moreover, the utilities have undertaken, with some success, to censor textbooks on civics and economics. President Coolidge contends that nothing has been brought out that calls for federal action, but that the states interested should take steps to put an end to this form of propaganda. Italy a Vast Prison, Says Former Premier A people deprived of all liberties, held in bondage by force and threats; a country whose boundaries are likened unto prison walls, is the description of Italy and its citizens, as given by former Premier Francesco Nitti, in a statement made public. "It Italian people," the statement declares, "have been deprived of all their rights and constitutional guarantees by an armed majority." Suppressed are the liberties of association, reunion and the press; suppressed are the independent newspapers. "It Italy," the premier continued, "has become a vast prison where one no longer laughs; where one lives in misery, despite false information disseminated abroad. Thousands of citizens are refused permission to leave Italy and are submitted to all sorts of humiliation. Illustrious generals, deputies, scholars, are imprisoned or exiled." It was the further belief of former Premier Nitti that no government which succeeds the present Fascist regime will recognize any international engagement, debt, or concession emanating from that regime. "All that has been done by the government that abolished the constitution shall be considered as arising from acts of an illegal party. No party succeeding it in power, even the most conservative, will recognize the validity of these illegal acts," he said. FEEDING THE WORLD Ever since the beginning of life on this planet the quest for food has been the most vital activity of man and beast. The search for food has given rise to mighty migrations, and the earliest gropings toward civilization were made under the urge of hunger. And, in spite of man's intelligence and ingenuity he has often failed to find the means of sustenance, and starvation has taken its toll of millions. Noah Beery "goes down to the sea in ships," fights pirates, engages savages in hand-to-hand combat, and so forth. You've seen him at it on the screen. He's a brave fellow. It has even been said that Noah once almost said "no" to a suggestion made by Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Brave as he is, however, Noah takes no chances when he hits the open road in what is declared the most decrepit fliver in all Southern California. Like the multi-millionaire who can afford to wear baggy trousers, Noah can afford to pilot such a "can," for it comes from his stable which boasts several of the finest cars made. The actor checkt of those 72 ordered the stage as a extra peppy tone; one can cause for a car the road. Leonard Evans to Head County Body Chosen President of Bar Association Tuesday Night The Orange County Bar Association met Tuesday night, at Ketner cafe, Santa Ana, and elected Leonard Evans, Anaheim, as president for the coming year. Frank James, Los Angeles attorney and member of the board of governors of the state association, delivered an address in which he asked the local group if it would approve a suggestion that damage lawsuits resulting from automobile accidents be transferred from the courts which hear them at present and be placed under the jurisdiction of a special accident commission. The body took no action on the question. James, in his talk, referred to the asserted necessity of speeding up the work of the courts, and the plan spoken of was designed to help in the achievement of this end. It was pointed out. The Orange county organization will hold three meetings this month to consider suggested changes in procedure. It will select a delegate to attend a conference in Pasadena in September, at which a definite program will be mapped out to present to the board of governors and to the legislature. Other officers elected were: L. F. Coburn, Orange; first vice-president; Ben E. Tarver, Santa Ana; second vice-president; J. L. Hanson, Huntington Beach; third vice-president; George Parker, Santa Ana; secretary and treasurer; Stanley Reinhaus, Santa Ana; and Albert Launer, Fullerton, executive committee.

FEEDING THE WORLD Ever since the beginning of life on this planet the quest for food has been the most vital activity of man and beast. The search for food has given rise to mighty migrations, and the earliest gropings toward civilization were made under the urge of hunger. And, in spite of man's intelligence and ingenuity he has often failed to find the means of sustenance, and starvation has taken its toll of millions. Even to this day famine stalks in many lands. Many who study the enormous increase in the world's population are apprehensive that in time famine will become constant and general, instead of occasional and local, a condition of which Malthus gave warning a century and a quarter ago. As nearly as can be estimated, the world's population in the last 100 years, increasing from approximately $850,000,-000 to 1,750,000,000. Considering that it took the human race perhaps half a million years to reach the first $850,000,000 and only 100 years to double that, what may happen in the coming centuries can only be conjectured. While this problem may not seriously affect the Americas for several generations, at the present rate of increase in population it will only be a question of time until the food situation will be a grave one for the entire world. Possibly the civic organizations of the future will be found trying to get rid of people, instead of boosting for bigger towns. Funeral services for William H. Oliver, who died at his home on Zeyn street, Monday, were held at Backs, Terry & Campbell's parlors this afternoon. Mr. Oliver was 77 years of age, and has been a resident of Anaheim for only a short time. Rev. C. V. Cowan of Pasadena, a life-long friend, conducted the services.

Widenham, past president of the Los Angeles Kiwanis Club and the first governor of the California-Nevada Kiwanis district, was the main speaker at the regular weekly luncheon meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis Club Tuesday noon, in the Elks clubhouse. Joe Spitzer was program chairman of the day and introduced the guest speaker. Widenham presented a lecture on a recent trip made through the South American republics, illustrating his remarks with stereooption slides. Among other things, he discussed the Panama canal and showed numerous views of this great engineering project. George W. Reid, manager of the California Valencia Orange Show, was a guest of the day and spoke briefly upon the success of this year's exhibition. He stated that, while attendance this year was approximately 5000 less than last year, the success of the show, in other respects, was much greater. ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH Rev. Charles E.

But he isn't going to take his life in his hands car shown herewith unless he's well insured. Noah, shown starting for his Paradise Los Angeles, is digging up a one-cent piece at a Richfield station for one of those vel and accident insurance policies which have a face value as high as $10,000.

Like he can afford Noah can affer it comes coasts several of the finest and most expensive motor cars made. The actor demonstrated his slight distrust of the favored but battered "lizzie" the other day when, starting on a trip to his trout farm in the hills, he drove into a Richfield station. "Give me a tankful of Richfield; check the Richube, and let's have one of those 72-hour accident policies," ordered the actor, who is noted off stage as a mild humorist. "I've an extra penny here and I want protection; one can never tell when this excuse for a car will decide to leap off the road." Then, seriously, Mr. Beery explained to the alert Richfield attendants who served him gas, oil, water, air, wind-shield cleaning and a ten-thousand-dollar travel and accident policy for little more than a dollar for half a dozen items, that he is now never without protection. "I renew my policy after every 72-hour period," he asserted, "and the one-cent price is a cost which is so insignificant that every motorist should be constantly protected. Besides, I always insist on Richfield gasoline, anyhow, so getting these insurance policies is a handy matter." 38 Items Handled By Farm Bureau Some idea of the many projects handled on behalf of agriculture by the California Farm Bureau Federation may be gained by the perusal of a sheet recently issued by that office. The listing of these projects was occasioned by the recent regional meetings at which Alex Johnson, state secretary, appeared and presented the list for the purpose of determining what subjects the attendance wished him to discuss. According to the questions answered, the people were mostly interested in what was being done along the lines of insurance, both automobile and workman's compensation. The McNary-Haugan bill and the county unit plan of school management were close seconds. AN HISTORIC SPOT Most people who have studied geography know that the Rappahannock river is located in Virginia, but fewer people are aware of the fact that the Rappahannock valley is one of the most historic regions in the United States, being filled with sites of historic events of the early colonial days, of the Revolutionary and Civil wars. The principal city of the valley is Fredericksburg, the burial place of George Washington's mother, and the scene of some of the severest fighting of the Civil war. Mr. Quaker O'Taylor has written an interesting historical narrative of the Rappahannock region for the current number of the National Republic. In mentioning Fredricksburg, Mr. O'Taylor says in part: "One of the most interesting Masonic lodges in the world is the one at Fredericksburg. Washington became a member of this lodge November 4, 1752; the lodge owns the Bible used in the ceremonies. It also owns a painting of Washington by Stuart, which is valued at $100,000." County to Act as Good Samaritan To Care for Children Dependent on Parents in Trouble According to a contemplated change approved Tuesday by the board of supervisors, dependent children of Orange county whose parents are in court trouble and unable to take care of them will no longer be placed in the detention home with delinquent youngsters, but will be placed in boarding homes by the office of Walter Gregg, county aid commissioner. The projected change, said Gregg today, is one which has been under consideration for some time. The children affected are not incorrigible, he said, and pointed out that it is not advisable to place them with boys and girls of this sort. Other changes approved will result in the shifting of the well baby clinic from the welfare department to the health department, which in turn will turn over the supervision of boarding homes for children to the former office. Gregg stated, after the supervisors had passed on the changes, that a confidential welfare exchange will be created whereby his office and other social agencies will be able to keep in touch with the work being done in any given situation by all workers. In this way the activities can be co-ordinated and there will be no duplication, he pointed out. Each agency will be informed as to what every other one is doing and thereby enabled to give maximum service where it is needed, he said. survey by expert engineers, Judge Alvin T.

Patrick Henry, uncle of the Patrick Henry of "Give me liberty or give me death" fame, was an early resident of Rappahannock valley. He was the first rector of St. George's church at Fredericksburg. Beneath the steps of this church is buried Fielding Lewis, husband of Betty Washington, sister of General Washington. In the little graveyard adjoining the church sleep the remains of Col. John Daindridge, the father of Martha Washington. The 'Rising Sun Tavern,' in Fredericksburg, in colonial and Revolutionary days was a favorite gathering place for the great men of Rappahannock valley and other sections of Virginia. Before the big fireplace in this old hostelry frequently sat Washington, Jefferson, Henry, Mason, and others. It is claimed that America's public school system and the principles of religious liberty had their birth here. The tavern was built by Charles Washington, brother of George, in 1765. "President James Monroe once practiced law in Fredericksburg. His old law office, a modest one-story brick building, has recently been restored and is now filled with rolls that once belonged to the author of the greatest "doctrine" in the history of the world. "The famous 'Cherry Tree Farm' is located on the banks of the Rappahannock river opposite Fredericksburg. It was on this farm that Washington spent much of his boyhood, the family having moved there from Wakefield. It was here that he cut down the cherry tree and had the subsequent conversation with his father which has had a wholesome effect upon millions of children during the intervening years. Through a prolonged search of musty age-yellowed old tiles, and a minute survey by expert engineers, Judge Alvin T. Embrey has recently succeeded in locating the exact spot on which the Washington home stood. "在 courthouse at Fredericksburg may be seen the original will of Washington's mother. It is in a fine state of preservation, and the obliging official in charge of it takes great pleasure in removing it from the safe and showing it to visitors."
