Herbert Hoover Is California Farmer Is Part Owner of a 3000-Acre Ranch in Kern County Herbert Hoover, farmer, is a less well-known figure than Herbert Hoover, statesman, or Herbert Hoover, engineer. He is, in fact, a genuine California farmer, on an exceedingly practical basis. In Kern county, a few miles out of Bakersfield, there is a great ranch, 3000 acres in extent, which is jointly owned, and operated by Mr. Hoover, Ralph Merritt, of the California Rasin Growers' association, and Julius Barnes, of New York. This is no fancy amateur experiment in agriculture, no "dude ranch," no rich man's plaything, but a very practical commercially operated farming enterprise, designed to pay a profit to its operators. The ranch is operated under the direction of a resident manager, who has a large force of employees working on the farm at all times. The most modern methods are used, and modern, efficient machinery is provided for all purposes. Hundreds of acres are planted to cotton this summer, and with the plants just now in full bloom, the cotton fields are a beautiful sight. Other hundreds of acres are in fruit. Plums, peaches, grapes and other deciduous fruits are raised in large quantities. Onion fields from which the crop has just been taken are being prepared for fall planting. Many fields are in alfalfa. The farm had about 200 acres in spinach this spring, this being rather an unusual crop for that section of the country. It was successfully reused and the product was used by a canning factory. A railroad spur from the Santa Fe runs directly to the packing house on the ranch, and carload shipments are a commonplace event. County’s Share of Motor Vehicle Fund Total Available For Roads Over Six Months’ Period, $18,344.89 Orange county’s total share of motor vehicle funds apportioned by the state for county highway purposes for the first six months of this year will amount to $72,044.89. This is according to an announcement received here by the Gazette from Frank G. Snook, Chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles. Salaries of the traffic officers for the period amounted to $26,850, while the amount reserved for their salaries for the last half of the year amounts to $26,850. This leaves a net total of $18,344.89 to be used by the county on its roads. The apportionment is based on fee paid motor vehicle registrations in the county as follows: Automobiles, $35,-423; solid-tired trucks, $420; pneumatic-tired trucks, $3662; motorcycles, $294; trailers, $1469. "We are much pleased with the showing made in Orange county." Chief Snook said. The total gross share of the funds paid to all the counties was $2,980.937. A similar sum went to the state highway commission for work on state roads. Must Use Horn On Short Turn: The attention of motorists about to go to the mountains on vacations was called by the Division of Motor Vehicles to a section of the law requiring the use of the horn on sharp turns to warn approaching vehicles. Several accidents, it was stated, have already been reported to the Division this season because of the failure of drivers to observe this precaution.

Must Use Horn On Short Turn: The attention of motorists about to go to the mountains on vacations was called by the Division of Motor Vehicles to a section of the law requiring the use of the horn on sharp turns to warn approaching vehicles. Several accidents, it was stated, have already been reported to the Division this season because of the failure of drivers to observe this precaution. Division officials said violation of the section (Section 139 of the State Act) is a misdemeanor. The same section forbids coasting on the grades and requires the driver to keep well to the right. It requires that warning be given with the horn when approaching curves when the view is obstructed for a distance of 200 feet. Division officials let it be known that they considered there was altogether too much use of the horn on the highways and in the populated centers and not enough in the mountains. The division does not regard night driving in the mountains as more dangerous than day driving but finds, on the contrary, that it is easier to tell when a car is approaching at night than by day because of the lights. NOTE OF WARNING In Chinese glassworks, children are worked from 6 a.m. until even 11 p.m. under most unsanitary conditions, exposed to deadly fumes, and high temperatures. Their wages are $1 per month plus food. When they die others a-plenty take their place. Does America want her ladies to come to this? Without immigration restriction laws, populations tend to flow like water, from different economic levels until equilibrium is attained. If engulfment of American living standards comes, it will include similar tragic child labor for our youngsters of tomorrow. We must prevent this, whether the deluge threatens from The Orient, from...

MAN WANTED HERE IS CAUGHT IN NEW JERSEY ROBERT MANNERS, 27, wanted here on three counties of robbery, has been arrested by the chief of police of Westfield, N.J., and is being held there by Orange county officers, Herman Zabel, chief of the bureau of identification sheriff's office, announced today. Sheriff Sam Jerugan left for Westfield to return the prisoner to Santa Ana for trial, he announced. Jerugan left by way of Sacramento, where he received the requisition papers for Manners' return. Manners and Roy Frazer hold up the Geason more at Sanctuary Beach twice and also hold up the Clarks cafe there, officers charge. Frazer, who was arrested soon after the huddles, which occurred last February, was convicted in the court. He is now in San Quentin prison, serving a term on the convictions. Officers have known for sometime that Manners was one of the two robbers they said, but were unable to find him. His arrest came about through circumspect sent to police stations throughout the country by the sheriff's office. HOME AFTER VACATION Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of the White Temple church and Mrs. Haywood have returned after enjoying a month's vacation. The first week of the Haywood's vacation was enjoyed at La Jolla. Then Dr. and Mrs. Haywood motored to Yonkers Valley, where Dr. Haywood occupied the uplit. He delivered two sermons in Yonkers Valley on Sunday, July 8. After leaving Yonkers, the Haywoods leisurely motorized to San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose and returned via the coast, stopping at Santa Maria and other points. Louis Sankey Dr. Haywood was in charge of deliberate crimes at the new church in Costa Mesas. Dr. and Mrs. Haywood returned to Anaheim Monday. STATE MAKES WAR ON DRUNKEN DRIVERS The state government's war on drunken drivers has assisted to give 181 persons their figurative "walking papers" in the last six months; the Division of Motor Vehicles announced today. This number of motorists have lost their licenses to drive on charges of driving while intoxicated, it was announced and will be compelled to walk or find means of transportation other than motor vehicles for the next year. Besides being deprived of the privilege of driving for a year, nearly all of these violators paid fines ranging from $50 to $1000. It is the purpose of the state to continue the campaign with unabated energy. The authorities are taking the position that the intoxicated person is the most dangerous type of driver on the highways inasmuch as the accidents in which he is involved frequently occur in the loss of lives of innocent people as well as his own. The division announced a total of 285 licenses were revoked for all causes during the first six months of 1928. Receptions for drunkenness during June were announced as being particularly heavy, forty out of a total of fifty-eight being for this cause. Two persons, Paltasar Hermosillo and Edward Lennon of Los Angeles, lost their license for periods of two years each. OUT OF HIS ELEMENT A reader wants to know "what possibly background?" Alfred E. Smith, Democratic nominee for the Presidency of the United States, could be said to have "in any wise qualifying him to understand, let alone intelligently pass upon any measure for farm relief." Well here we don't know either, say the Farin and Orchard. Product of a city that is and always has been dissociated from dependence on agriculture, this man the Democrat asked to lead them back into Capital Ample for Expansion of State Billions in Deposits in Banks for Investment "California has ample capital with which to continue the brilliant record of expansion and building which has characterized its growth in recent years," says Will C. Wood, state superintendent of banks, in the California Real Estate magazine. "The latest complete statement of the condition of all California banks shows total deposits of $3,001,730,000, of which $1,923,-611,000 was in savings deposits and $1,078,162,000 in commercial deposits. In 1921 total savings deposits in all banks in California were $1,042,473,000; the actual increase in the past eight years has been more than $881,000,000, or about 84.5 per cent. All commercial deposits in 1921 totaled $704,406,000. The last eight years have, therefore, seen a growth of 53 per cent in commercial deposits. The capital invested in the bankting structure of the state has shown an increase since 1921 over 25 per cent. "The total capital investment of California banks is greater than the combined total for the nine western states comprising North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma. It is also greater than the combined total of all the other states lying west of the Rock mountains and including Texas." The functions of California state savings banks have been so regulated and checked that no savings depositor has ever lost a cent by a failure of his savings bank in California since 1912. He should also derive pride from the fact that approximately 60 cents out of every dollar he leaves on deposit goes to finance real estate development, tangible expression of the growth of his state." CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES "Love" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday, July 29, in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church or Christ Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon included the following from the Bible: "Thus sait lhe Lord Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom; neither let the mighty man glory in his might; let not the rich man glory in his riches; But let him that clerenth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth; for in these things I delight saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 9). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error—self-will, self-justification, and self-love—which it wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death." (p. 242) If you think the Florida tomato growers have no political influence just read the Houston platform on the tariff. Latin America or from those parts of Europe where intensified population pressure is forcing living standards toward cooler levels. OUT OF HIS ELEMENT A reader wants to know "what possibly background" Alfred E. Smith, Democracy nominee for the Presidency of the United States, could be said to have "in any wise qualifying him to understand, let alone intelligently pass upon any measure for farm relief." Well late. We don't know either, say the Farmer and Orchard. Product of a city that is and always has been disassociated from dependence on agriculture, this man the Democrat picked to lead them back into power grew up in an area of hard environments that is remote from the soil. The average New Yorker's conception of a farmer is of a vaudeville hayseed who occasionally comes to the metropolis to rubber at the high buildings, a rustle with a carpet bag, an innocent, gullible rube ripe for exploitation by the gold brick merchant. Gov. Smith, of course, is more traveled than most of them, having been about a bit in the provinces in quest of votes to keep him in the executive mansion, but it is hardly conceivable that he has learned much about the problems of the growers, turing back and forth between Manhattan and Albany. One doesn't get into such deep subjects as agriculture and its bearing on national life and prosperity handshaking and backsapping in rural town halls. And however sure Mr. Smith's intentions may be, it is hardly conceivable that he can achieve any real grass of anything to which his experience and training are so foreign in the short space of time between now and the time he hopes to land in the White House. The Republican candidate, on the other hand, unquestionably understands the turning situation in its important aspects as well as anyone in the country. Born in a rural community, Mr. Eddy has a sympathetic first hand knowledge of farmers, their activities, their problems and their aspirations. Post of all, from the modern and progressive farmer's point of view, he has a deep insight into the business and commercial phrases of agriculture, understanding as do few other men, the lahoma. It is also greater than the combined total of all the other states lying west of the Rock mountains and including Texas. "The functions of California state savings banks have been so regulated and checked that no savings depositor has ever lost a cent by a failure of his savings bank in California since 1912. He should also derive pride from the fact that approximately 60 cents out of every dollar he leaves on deposit goes to finance real estate development, tangible expression of the growth of his state." necessity for placing the farmer's calling on a true business and industrial basis. As a cabinet member he has had his finger on the business pulse of the country—the knows the part played by agriculture in the nation's business life. He knows as probably no one else can know, what any advancement of the farmer's interests would mean to business as a whole. He is himself a successful farmer, owning a large ranch in the San Joaquin Valley of California that is a model of efficient management. He is better qualified in every way for the task of helping America to help the farmer and the farmer to help himself than is the candidate of New York City's Tammany Hall. The plight of Tammany's idol in the role of a farm relief champion would be like that of a landlubber suddenly put in charge of a storm-tossed ship at sea—he might be willing, but he wouldn't know what it was all about.

Y THE HOME Florsheim Shoes Dutchess Trouser Deer Hunters Must Tie Tags on Kill Also Send Tag to Office of Commission at San Francisco Deer hunters who are going to start out in search of this game are warned that it will be necessary to secure not only 1928 hunting licenses, but deer tags as well before hunting in the district where the season opens on August 1st, it was announced by the Division of Fish and Game. The "deer tags" are a special license that must be secured before starting to hunt deer. The tags made up in duplicate, are for sale at all places where fishing and hunting licenses may be purchased, and instructions for use will be furnished when tags are secured. When a deer is killed one portion of the tag must be properly filled out, giving the name of the hunter, the time and place the deer was killed, and a description of the deer, and forwarded to the Fish and Game office, San Francisco, while the other portion must be attached at once to the horns of the carcass. In case the hunter desires to transport his deer from an open district, where it was killed, into a closed district, he must have the tag counter-signed by either a regular salaried deputy of the Division of Fish and Game or by some official authorized to administer oaths. The deer season opens on August 1st in Districts 2, 2½ and 3, which takes in the territory south from the Humboldt county line and runs through the coast counties through Ventura county. A portion of San Joaquin, Merced, Stanton, Madera, Fresno, Kings and Kern counties is included. According to reports compiled last year the best hunting to start the season was found in Lake and Mendocino counties. Hunters are cautioned to ascertain boundaries of game districts and to be sure to have deer tags and hunting licenses before taking the field. The records made possible through the deer tags are of great value in estimating the deer in California, as well as where the deer are killed and by whom. COST OF ILLNESS Dr. Homer Folks of New York, who has made an exhaustive study of the cost of illness to the people of this nation, reports to the International Conference of Social workers that the amount is at least 15,000 millions per year. He fixes the average annual per capita cost at $31.08—or $134.68 for each family. This is divided as follows: Physicians received approximately $715,000,000. "quacks" $120,000,000 and hospitals $104,000,000. Medicines and supplies cost about $700,000,000. The loss of wages from illness is put at $1,250,000,000 a year and the total loss of future net earnings of persons prematurely incapacitated at $12,000,000,-600 annually. Dr. Folks says that we spend only 63 cents per capita, or $3.71 per year per family to prevent illness. These figures throw a new light and an additional burden on the various tabulations of the cost of living. And when the cost of funeral is added the health item leaves but little of the average estate.
