(MAIN FLOOR) Falkensteins Foremost in Fashion - Far Most in Value ANAHEIM GAZETTE Joplin Squares Up With the Controller Makes Semi-Annual Settlement for Tax Collections County Treasurer J. C. Joplin and State Controller Ray L. Riley "squared up accounts" this week, and as a result the treasurer turned over a total of $52,454.79 as Orange county's semi-annual settlement with the state of California. Inheritance tax collections represented the greatest portion of the county's contribution, or $47,727.24. Other items included in the county's settlement represented collections as follows: Property tax, sales of tax deeded land, upkeep of Whittier state school for boys, Preston school of industry, Ventura school for girls, Sonoma state home and Pacific colony, principal and interest for school land, poll taxes and estates of deceased persons. During the five-month period ending May 1, included in this settlement, the 58 counties of California collected a grand total of $5,492,246.08, according to Riley's statements. Of this amount, $5,101,378.72 was for inheritance taxes. Other classifications showing the aggregate for all counties were as follows: property tax, $1,241.98; sales tax on deeded land, $112.59; Whittier school, $30,556.27; Stanton school, $60,778; Ventura school, $16,189.02; Sonoma home, $197,762.50; Pacific colony, $7,090.47; school land principal, $14,535.58; interest, $15,633.91; poll tax, $40, and estates of deceased persons, $46,458.50. 14-Acre Grove Brings $48,000 In a transaction involving the exchange of property having a total value of approximately $60,000, J. W. Smalley of Fullerton became the owner of a 14-acre Valencia orange grove on West Orangethorne avenue, valued at $48,000 and R. H. Meyer took Fullerton resi- large pipes and emptied into the river again. An extensive system of levees over seventy miles in length is maintained along the west side of the Colorado river in Mexico. A broad-gauged railroad extends along the tops of these, and thousands of carloads of rocks are hauled from the district's mammoth quarry at Andrade to rij-rap these protective works. For several months previous to the high water season in May and June, quarrymen and trainmen are kept busy day and night with the work of strengthening the levees. Although a report states the annual snowfall in the mountains at the headwaters of the Colorado river is below normal this season, the work of rip-rapping and strengthening the levees is steadily going on now. The Colorado river is a treacherous stream and these precautions are taken each year by the officials of the Imperial Irrigation District in order that the safety of those living in this section may be safeguarded as far as possible. Some day when outsiders who can't begin to realize the river's menace to life and property get through arguing, a great dam at Boulder or Black canyon will be set up as a permanent protection to the valley folk. During the low water period in the late summer the river occasionally becomes so low it is necessary to construct a temporary dam across it to divert all the water into the main canal. This temporary dam is constructed of brush mats, the material of which is cut in the arrowweed thickets along the river bottom. These mats are towed out into the river and sunk side by side across a narrow place below the Rockwood intake. After the dry period the dam is blown out with dynamite and the superspur water is again allowed to run to waste into the Gulf of California. It is necessary each year for the Imperial Irrigation District to petition the government for permission to construct the brush weir, and a large bond guaranteeing the Yuma valley farmers against damage from sudden floods that might be backed up by the makeshift dam is filed with the request. Men keep a close watch of the flow of the river day and night to detect any rise 4-H Summer Camp Will Open Monday The members of the eleven 4-H Agricultural Clubs of Orange County will meet the 4-H clubs of Riverside and San Bernardino counties at Camp Seeley, in the San Bernardino mountains. The camp will be under the direction of the farm advisors and local leaders of the three counties, and will have foresters, geologists, tree and plant experts, etc., in attendance. The camp will last three days—Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 18, 19, and 20. Each member has received a letter giving full instructions for the trip. The transportation is to be supplied by private cars, driven by parents, leaders and others interested in practical agricultural education. A full program has been worked out which provides recreation, instruction, etc., for every minute of the day and evening. Hiking, swimming, sports and competitive events are made the principal features of the camp. The Riverside and San Bernardino county groups have been inthe camp previously and attest to the excellent food and accommodations provided by the camp authorities. The Orange county caravan is to form at the farm bureau office, Hall of Records, Santa Ana, at 6:00 a.m. Monday, June 18. Parents are invited to come and help transport the members. Anaheim Academy Plans Big Addition Plans for the investment of upwards of $22,000 in an additional building, necessitated by the increased enrollment of the institution, were revealed when the sisters in charge of St. Joseph's academy here were granted a building permit by Rudolph Nyboe, city building inspector. A. Volz, Anaheim contractor, has been awarded the contract for erecting the new structure, which will be of stucco finish, two stories in height and to be used for class and dormitory rooms. The building will be 53x79 feet and will provide 18 additional rooms. Enrollment has been rapid during the past months and now has reached the point where additional facilities had to be acquired, according to the contractor in charge of the work. Nothing looks quite so bleak as the petition protesting against the widening of the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton was presented to the supervisors Tuesday. The signers represented 72 per cent of the frontage on the boulevard which it is proposed to pave. It was referred to George Holden, attorney for the district, for investigation as to the legality of the signatures, and will probably be acted upon next Tuesday. It is proposed to widen the pavement to 56 feet. 14-Acre Grove Brings $48,000 In a transaction involving the exchange of property having a total value of approximately $60,000, J. W. Smalley of Fullerton became the owner of a 14-acre Valencia orange grove on West Orangethorie avenue, valued at $48,000 and R. H. Meyer took Fullerton residential property to the amount of $11,-000 as paid payment for the orchard. The Smalley home at 604 North Drake avenue and other property owned by Mr. Smalley in this city figured in the deal. The Smalleys expect to move to the ranch property soon, it was reported. Placentia Graduates Thirty-one Pupils The closing events of the year for the Placentia grammar school occur this evening, in the auditorium, starting at S o'clock. Thirty-one pupils will graduate. This is the smallest class in several years, last year's class numbering 49. The Rev. Frank M. Dowling, former pastor of the Presbyterian church, has been secured as speaker for the occasion. A list of the graduates follows: Irvin Alsec, Elodia Agullar, Tilla Bartels, Willa Bartels, Alfred Basten, Archie Bates, Peggy Bowen, Walter Bowker, Florence Beck, Katheryn Davies, Luppe Querrera, Eva Hale, Alfonso Herrera, Frances Holland, Norene Henry, Willis Hassen, Gilbert Kuhn, Billie Lee, Virginia Mathis, Florence Mondotte, David Morales, Harlan Newnes, Arnold Plegel, Marian Ray, Lorene Richmond, Yukiye Shiotani, Bonnie Talbert, Chayton Tayles, Jean Taylor, Gene Young. Substantial Sum Paid to Growers Coming as the first announcement of payments to growers in the Anaheim Valencia district for the present season. A. J. Miller of the Olive Fruit Company of Anaheim stated that during the month of May his firm paid to growers $251,860. In addition to this an undetermined amount of fruit was shipped on consignment and no money will be paid out on this fruit until actual returns from sales have been received. During the month covered in the report of Olive Fruit Company shipped 110 cars making a total shipped for the season of approximately 200 cars. At present the concern is shipping three cars a day under a schedule retarded somewhat by adverse market conditions. Miller said. The company expects to ship 500 cars during the season. Discussing the subject. "The Market at Your Door," before the Advertising Club of Los Angeles, ex-Governor McKelvie of Nebraska said that one of things midwestern agriculture needs is more of the constructive California spirit. General farm conditions in the Middle West are good and are improving; he claims, despite the farmer, the writer and the politician who insist upon sticking to the "hard time" story and upon citing specific cases of unsuccessful farmers, who are unsuccessful because they are behind the times in production and marketing methods. Governor McKelvie who is publisher of the Nebraska Farmer magazine and is a recognized national authority on farm subjects, quoted interesting farm statistics. He stated that the national farm income is eleven billion dollars of which the farmer spends seven billion dollars. International Harvester and Case stocks are up 15 per cent; yet these farm machinery manufacturing organizations deal directly with and are dependent upon the farmer. The farm products dollar of the Middle West is again approaching 100 cents of purchasing value. Nebraska bestows medals upon its master farmers. Last year the ten medal winners averaged a net worth of $75,000 each. Business methods are the hope of the farmer. There are "wonder cows" in every farm industry. Nebraska has increased butter production 50 per cent with an increase in number of cows of only 10 per cent. In an 10-acre corn growing contest, 64 bushels to the acre was the average last year; compared with a state average of 38 bushels. And on some of the contest plots costs of production were less than the state average. One cannot listen to McKelvie from Nebraska without the thought that he and his state have the right idea for solving the "farm relief problem." Some cynics say that diplomacy is merely the art of lying, but if this were true the fellow who stays out late three nights a week and gets away with it would be head of the diplomatic corps.

Volz, Anaheim contractor, has been awarded the contract for erecting the new structure, which will be of stucco finish, two stories in height and to be used for class and dormitory lofts. The building will be 53x79 feet and will provide 18 additional rooms. Enrollment has been rapid during the past months and now has reached the point where additional facilities had to be acquired, according to the contractor in charge of the work. Nothing looks quite so bleak as the lanner of a defeated candidate the day after the primary. It's a Real Job to Manage a Big River Keeping the Colorado river curbed when it is obstreperously inclined, and regulating the diversion of its waters for agricultural use in Imperial valley is a year 'round job calling for the employment of many men. The Imperial Irrigation District keeps a small army at Andrade, its Colorado river headquarters, 10 miles below Yuma, Ariz, where also are hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment for maintenance of such huge works as the Rockwood intake, Hanlon heading and a rock quarry, and where repair shops, railroad engines and cars and dredges are kept. The Rockwood intake is a cement structure about 700 feet long. Through its 75 gates the water of the river is diverted into the old channel of the Alamo river, which carries it for a distance of over fifty miles to the east side of Imperial valley. A short distance below Rockwood intake is Hanlon heading, a huge cement headgate through which the water, sufficient to irrigate over 200,000 acres in Mexico and around 400,000 acres in Imperial valley, is measured. The maximum capacity of the canals to irrigate this vast amount of land is about 7500 second feet, and this is the largest amount of water allowed to pass Hanlon heading at one time. On account of the excessive amount of silt carried by the waters of the river, three mammoth dredges are operated near the intake. Two of these are kept busy between Rockwood intake and Hanlon heading and one below the latter. The silt, after being dredged from the canal, is pumped across a narrow neck of land through terminated amount of fruit was shipped on consignment and no money will be paid out on this fruit until actual returns from sales have been received. During the month covered in the report, the Olive Fruit Company shipped 110 cars, making a total shipped for the season of approximately 200 cars. At present the concern is shipping three cars a day under a schedule retarded somewhat by adverse market conditions, Miller said. The company expects to ship 500 cars during the season.

How to Keep Bowels Regular DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 82 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, IL, a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old follow, had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, saline, calomel and tasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "physic" was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity" even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin only causes a gentle easy bowel movement but best of all, it never grips, sticks, or upsets the system. Barlden is absolutely harmless, and so pleasurable that even a cross, feverish, bloody child gladly takes it. Buy a large 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine or write "Syrup Pepsin."
