TRUSTEES, FACE PUPILS GETTING FOR THE Nearly $12,000 Spent in Grammar During Vacation Teachers in the Year; Registrats to Be Larger for Day Than Is W Preparations are being opened of school on Tuesday 11. During the vacancy PLE PASSED THE TURN-STILES THAT DAY American Legion Had Charge of the Program, the Anaheim Legion Band Providing the Music; James K. Fisk of Berkeley Made the Opening Address; Splendid Entertainment Arranged for Every Day At 10 o'clock Monday morning the gates of the Twelfth Annual Orange County-Fair swung open to the public, and a crowd of several hundred waiting people passed in. Although Monday was a holiday, following a Sunday, on which rare occasion thousands of people cut loose from local affairs and trek to the beaches or the mountain resorts, yet the turnstiles for the opening day show that 18,000 people passed in. Monday was American Legion Day and the veterans of the World War had charge of the program. The American Legion Band of Anaheim provided the music for the day. Lieutenant-Governor Buron Flitts, a battle-scarred veteran of the war, was scheduled for the opening speech, but as the legislation had been called to meet in extra session by Gov. Young, his presence in Sacramento was necessary. James K. Fisk of Berkeley, state adjutant of the Legion, delivered the address. Fisk called upon the American people, in his address, to observe the laws of the land. He described the "three great laws" of America as the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Monroe Doctrine. "This country has prospered because it has obeyed its laws. It will continue to grow and prosper by obeying these same laws." In the afternoon a cloud of homing pigeons fluttered into the sky above the grandstand, bearing hearty invitations to the Orange County Fair to the cities of Southern California. Four hundred birds soared into the air and winged their way in all directions at 2 p.m. The whooping of the rodeo rang out following the release of the pigeons. The etirring strains of the Anaheim American Legion band arose above the hubbub of the grandstand. The lowing of cattle. The whinny of horses. The bleat of sheep. The cluck of chickens. The pleading of concession barkers. The shuffle of thousands of feet through the sawdust. The laughter. The exclamations. The Fair tents cover five acres of ground, occupy nearly a third more space than they did last year. The premium list of more than $16,000 in cash is the largest in Fair history. A quarter more exhibits are being shown. There are eight main tents at the County Fair under an arbor and canopy of lights, set in the midst of a small garden plot. The garden beautiful is the motif of this year's Fair and in his trek through the main feature tent he finds the theme repeated and elaborated again and again in the multitude of nat owners. Harry Bechtold, president; Sadie Bechtold, secretary, and T. L. McFadden, of the board of directors, are named as plaintiffs in the action. The complaint stated that L. A. Wagner, acting as agent for the First National Laundries corporation, told the plaintiffs that the stock had a market value of $10 per share, that the Los Angeles firm had $70,000 in its treasury and that it would assume the debts of the Economy Laundry company and pay them. The deal was completed June 1, according to the complaint. On August 4, however, the plaintiffs discovered that the stock was 10 per cent promotion paper, not represented by physical assets, and that the buying firm had nothing in its treasury, they alleged in the complaint. Furthermore, said the plaintiffs, the Los Angeles company could not pay the debts of the Economy Laundry company.

The premium list of more than $16,000 in cash is the largest in Fair history. A quarter more exhibits are being shown. There are eight main tents at the County Fair under an arbor and canopy of lights, set in the midst of a small garden plot. The garden beautiful is the motif of this year's Fair and in his trek through the main feature tent he finds the theme repeated and elaborated again and again in the multitude of exhibits. He waits into the main tent and into a garden setting, designed and arranged by Clark Lutschg, nurseryman of Fulerton. Here he finds a waterfall, a garden pond and a rock garden. About him is a wealth of flowers and plants. He is tuned to the quiet spirit of the garden. The second impression is bewilderment. About the visitor are gorgeous displays of the farm centers, chambers of commerce and communities of Orange County, and here and there, of cities outside the county. The exhibits are built on the garden plan. The fruit of the county—oranges, lemons, avocados, peaches, pears—are gathered in the exhibits. The more prosaic vegetable is everywhere in his glory, piled about the displays. The main tent is brilliant man-made panorama of the county's agricultural and industrial wealth. It is gaily decorated. Huge hangings of orange and blue and pink cover the ceiling. The tent poles are wreathed in artificial flowers and colored lights. In the second half of the main tent is the industrial exhibit. Here in 160 booths are assembled the products of the factories and the goods of the dealers of Orange county and Southern California. The metallic precision of mechanism, the shine of metal here. Washing machines, electric refrigerators, distilled water—a hundred other articles are displayed in the trim white booths.

Santa Ana's total for the month was $1,000,000. Exceeding last year's total by almost $150,000, the total valuation represented by building permits in Orange up to September 1 reached $286,250, according to figures of Building Inspector C. C. Bonebrake. Brisk activity in residential construction, coupled with launching of several large projects, including the $40,000 Orange High school fine arts building, accounted for the year's record. The total building today in Orange is approximating $150,000 ahead of last year's total on the corresponding date, when $143,170 had been expended in construction operations. Anaheim building permits for the month of August at most doubled those of the preceding month, according to Building Inspector R. Nycombs. Permits in August totaled $43.

Capistrano-Elsinore Newly Proposed Road Approval of the proposed San Juan Capistrano-Elsinore highway, estimated to cost between $300,000 and $400,000 was given by the Orange county board of supervisors Wednesday. A resolution drafted for the board Building Inspector C. O. Donovan Brisk activity in residential construction, coupled with launching of several large projects, including the $40,000 Orange High school fine arts building, accounted for the year's record. The total building today in Orange is approximating $150,000 ahead of last year's total on the corresponding date, when $143,170 had been expendled in construction operations. Anaheim building permits for the month of August at most doubled those of the preceding month, according to Building Inspector R. Nyboe. Permits in August totaled $43-061 compared to $22,877 in July. Residential construction is showing a healthy increase, according to Nyboe. Fullerton building permits in August amounted to $73,250, according to Building Inspector Grover L. Walters. Construction of a tomato cannery and packing plant on the Bastanchury ranch involving a total expenditure of $50,000 materially increased the month's building record. Insectary at Anaheim Doing Effective Work, But Cost Sixteen Thousand Dollars Less Than in the Previous Year; Tells of Experiments in Various Sprays, Dusting Treatment and Other Methods Used The annual report of County Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock made public Saturday shows that a saving of more than sixteen thousand dollars was effected during the year in the expense account of the county insectary at Anaheim and the commissioner's office. The report gives a review of the department's activities in relation to the nearly forty million-dollar agricultural production during the year. The cost of pest control to growers of this region is computed as $1,273,991 in the yearly statement. An outstanding development of the past months in connection with pest control by use of oil sprays is analyzed by Brock's account, which recalls the progress made in spray tests at the county farm. The United States Department of Agriculture, University of California and California Fruit Growers' exchange have co-operated in these studies. November it was discovered is the poorest month for the application of oil sprays. "We are certain," the report states,"that the only thing that can be relied upon to handle heavy infestations of red and purple scale is the combination treatment." This method uses both oil spraying and fumigation. In explaining the $16,000 saving Brock said that the anticipated needs for his office and the insectery were placed at $117,190, but that by purchasing supplies at lowef prices had been expected; expenses had been kept down to $100,692.23. Plant quarantine, pest control, stand-ardization, rodents and weeds are the other important activities treated in the summary. In an effort to prevent the introduction of new and dangerous pests and plant diseases,the department has treated 3363 "pieces," returned 2531 and destroyed 3896,the report said.Vacuum fumigation,bub sterilization,nursery inspection or orchard and field inspection have been carried on. Over 2,000,000 trees were fumigated during the year at a cost of $699,400.78. "We licensed 39 operators,and 137 foremen and our inspectors visited 863 outfits in the field. There was very little damage to fruit or follage resulting from fumigation during the past year.The results obtained by fumigation for the control of black scale were excellent and properly timed." There was more spray work done in this county during the year for control of citrus insects than during any previous year. We licensed 79 operators and 105 foremen and our inspectors examined the quality of work done by 361 outfits in the field." Almost 1,500,000 trees were sprayed at a cost of $458,230 to the growers.

Plans were for the interclub to be feature meeting to be holding of September S Haywood Temple Method to representthe petition. The subject "The Meaning members of tha dent Dr laureat wreath graded on ther Frank N.Gill day and introduced." Highway Approved By Supervisors O. K. Capistrano-Elsinore Newly Proposed Road Approval of the proposed San Juan Capistrano-Elsinore highway, estimated to cost between $300,000 and $400,000 was given by the Orange county board of supervisors Wednesday. A resolution drafted for the board by District Attorney Z. B. West Jr. was passed at Tuesday's session. The statement declares that "the public interest and convenience require it, and it is the intention of the board that the public highway be constructed between Elsinore and San Juan Capistrano." County Clerk J. M. Backs was requested to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Riverside county board of supervisors as the first move toward the joint construction of the road by two counties. The resolution proposes the creation of a joint highway district including the two regions, and to be formed under the joint highway district act. If the Riverside officials approve the move, it is probable that a survey of the possible route will be made in the near future and an estimate made of the probable expense. According to Nat Neff, highway superintendent for this county, the road to be constructed would be approximately 15 miles in length, starting from the Hot Springs above San Juan Capistrano and crossing the mountains to a point in Riverside county which has not been selected. The Mexicans are in favor of the recall of public officials but they do it with the bullet instead of the ballot. November election would be that the total vote will be greater. A reasonable bet at fair odds would be that the total vote will reach 35,000,000. It might readily reach 40,000,000 or even 45,000,000. (The total possible vote—the number of persons estimated to be qualified to vote—is roughly about 56,000,000. There was very little damage to fruit or foliage resulting from fumigation during the past year. The results obtained by fumigation for the control of black scale were excellent and properly timed. There was more spray work done in this county during the year for the control of citrus insects than during any previous year. We licensed 79 operators and 105 foremen and our inspectors examined the quality of work done by 361 outfits in the field. Almost 1,500,000 trees were sprayed at a cost of $458,230 to the growers. There was little immediate injury caused by sprays except that the late application of one material caused a drop of ripe fruit. "From the spray tests on the county farm, the workers have made some very interesting findings. It is the general conclusion of the entire group that almost every oil estimated showed some influence on the fruit. This was evidenced in practically all cases by a slower coloring of the fruit. The texture and general appearance of the rind was affected somewhat by pebbling of the outer surface. This effect was more exaggerated with the heavy oils. The sprayed fruit also showed more crystallization than the unsprayed fruit. The winter application of oils showed more crystallization than the early tail application." The report shows the insectary Anaheim, which produces natural parasites for the control of citrus pests, to have been operatin gat a high rate of efficiency. Cost per parasite dropped from four mills to two. Purchase, at a low price, of potatoes, on which mealy bugs grow, on which the parasites feed, accounted of approximately $7000 at this plant. "We have some orchards where Citrophilus mealy bug has done considerable damage during the past year, but considering the average infested we are certain that the percentage of damage is much less than it has ever been before. This, we believe, is due largely to the fact that we were able to produce about 2½ times the production we have ever had before, and we believe that the distribution was more carefully made through the complete survey of the infested acreage early in the season."

S. Bradford and managed by Charles Lee, was taken over Saturday by the American Service Water company, an organization of eastern capitalists who have recently bought several small domestic water systems in California, including the La Habra, Tustin, Westminster, La Jolla, Richfield and the Placentia system, in Orange county. The company is said to control the water supplies of more than a hundred towns in the United States. No change of plans are being made known for the present, according to those in charge of the new company. N. M. Launer, former manager of the La Habra Domestic Water company, becomes manager of the new company's territory in this district, and the business will be managed from the La Habra office. The two men who have helped Manager Lee under the old regime, L. Martinez and L. G. Rouse, have GOOD RETURNS RECEIVED BY GROWERS FIGURES FOR FIRST VALEN-CIA POOL SATISFAC-TORY TO SHIPPERS Total Paid to Growers By the Six Packing Houses of Anaheim More Than a Million and a Half Dollars; Prices Expected to Average Better For the Second Pool; Excellent Showing For Next Year's Crop Although adverse weather conditions early in the season considerably reduced the output of the valencia orange orchards, the Anaheim growers, taking Col. Smith Speaks To Kiwanis Club Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood to Represent Local Club in Oratorical Contest Lieut.-Col. Leroy F. Smith, head of the Los Angeles Bureau of the Better American Federation, addressed the Kiwanis club at the weekly luncheon Tuesday. Col. Smith's subject was "Square Deals and Raw Deals," pointing out the advantages, which America's civilization offers to all and decrying the attempts which he said, are being made by an "organized minority" to destroy our government. He stated that there are some 118,000 people throughout the United States who have signed up to aid in destroying the American government and that it is the duty of Kiwanis clubs and similar groups to protect our institutions. Plans were formed for taking part in the interclub oratorical contest which is to feature the Kiwanis divisional meeting to be held in Whittier the evening of September 18 and Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, was named to represent the local club in the competition. The subject under discussion will be "The Meaning of Kiwanis," and the members of the local club feel confident that Dr. Haywood will win the laurel wreath, if the contestants are graded on their merits. Frank N. Gibbs was chairman of the day and introduced the speakers. CALLING ON FRIENDS Alva Adams has been in town for several days visiting with a number of his young friends. He spent several days at Long Beach and looked in at the exposition. He expects to visit the County Fair before returning home in time to resume his studies at school. He sustained a fracture of the left ankle July 3 when he was riding his bicycle. TORY TO SHIPPERS Total Paid to Growers By the Six Packing Houses of Anaheim More Than a Million and a Half Dollars; Prices Expected to Average Better For the Second Pool; Excellent Showing For Next Year's Crop Although adverse weather conditions early in the season considerably reduced the output of the valencia orange orchards, the Anaheim growers, taking them as a body, have little reason to complain. Returns from the first pool have all been received now, the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Growers' association having received its final figures. The association received and distributed among its growers $324,955.05, bringing the total which the six houses paid to their members or to growers, to $1,529,688.06. Prices received for the early shipments of valencias were very low as compared with the present figure and the price that will prevail during the shipment of the second pool, but Manager Sandilands states that the growers received $3.51 per field box for the first pool. Mr. Sandilands stated that the fruit outside of that affected by crystallization, was of remarkably fine eating quality, although considerably scarred by the winds experienced in this section during the past winter. A very close pack was made of the entire pool, he said, with only two per cent handled as culls. But even the culls were sold at the packing house at very favorable prices, he said. In addition to the money already paid the grower, a cash refund is to be made at the end of the season which is expected to increase materially the average returns quoted above, he said. Mr. Sandilands expressed the opinion that the balance of the season will be most satisfactory and stated that the returns for the second pool fruit, now being marketed, are coming in nicely and an even better average return is expected to be shown when this pool is closed. Next season's crop, now on the trees, never looked better than it does right now and prospects are that it will be one of the largest ever harvested, he said. Merchants to Meet Next Monday Night Will Banquet at Elks' Clubhouse and Elect New Officers The Anaheim Merchants' association will meet next Monday evening at the Elks' clubhouse for the purpose of discussing many important matters and electing officers.

He expects to visit the County Fair before returning home in time to resume his studies at school. He sustained a fracture of the left ankle July 3, when he was riding his bicycle up a hill near Hemet and pulled out of the road to permit a car behind him to pass. His wheel rain into the sand and he fell to the ground, striking his ankle against the bar. Two men carried him home, a short distance away, and he was kept in bed two weeks. It was two weeks before he could use his leg. He has recovered nicely and will start to school again. Calvary Church Elects New Board Owing to the resignation of certain officials of Calvary Baptist church because of disagreement with the pastor, the vacancies were filled at a meeting of the congregation last Wednesday evening.

Next Monday Night Will Banquet at Elks' Clubhouse and Elect New Officers The Anaheim Merchants' association will meet next Monday evening at the Elks' clubhouse for the purpose of discussing many important matters and electing officers. Many things will come up for discussion, one of them being the outside shopping news nuisance. Efforts have been made by ordinance to revent the distribution in the city of these publications, but the lawns are still littered with them. The question of the annual Halloween festival will also be discussed at the meeting, and a decision will probably be reached as to whether or not it will be staged again this year. As it has always been a howling success, in all probability it will be put on again. As matters of importance concerning the business interests of the city will be discussed all business men are urged to be present whether they are members of the association or not. Tickets to the banquet will be sold ahead of the date. An interesting speaker, who can give the business men valuable pointers, will make an address. MISS YUNGBLUTH RETURNS FROM EASTERN TRIP Miss Dorothy Yungbluth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. A.
