Sierra Power Co. Abandons Plan New Route Selected for Building High Power Cable Abandoning plans for a high tension power line through northern Orange county, which have met with considerable opposition from residents of this region, the Southern Sierra Power company today is directing its attention to another route for the construction of a $300,000 or $400,000 power line from the Riverside county line through the Santa Ana canyon to Seal Beach, according to A. B. West, of Riverside, president of the power concern. The line proposed would carry 110,000 volts of electricity and would connect San Bernardino with the Los Angeles Gas and Electric company plant in Seal Beach. The new route has been picked because it is the most feasible for the company and would result in a minimum of interference in the districts through which it will pass, the power official stated. He pointed out that it would not pass through any large communities in reaching Seal Beach. It would leave the canyon and start for Seal Beach passing in the region of the Orange County hospital. West declared that everything possible had been done so that the line would offer the least interference to business activities of Orange county. The poles will be of steel instead of wood, he said, and designed in such a manner as to prevent radio or telephone interference. There would be eight poles to the mile instead of the 15 or 16 necessary were wooden poles to be used. The company is not planning the erection of towers, but will use poles reaching 62 feet above ground and occupying a space four feet square. Although the line is to be constructed for the purpose of carrying power to San Bernardino county, an interchange agreement had been made whereby power would flow into Orange county at certain times in case it is needed. Hoover Rally Is In Contemplation T. B. Talbert, Chairman of County Central Committee The Orange county Republican central committee will hold its second meeting in McFarland's cafe, in Fulerton, where plans for a county-wide Hoover meeting probably will be made, it was decided following an organization session in the courthouse at which T. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach, former chairman of the board of supervisors, was elected chairman of the committee. Next week's gathering will be in the nature of a get-acquainted affair, it was intimated. Details for the Hoover assembly may be worked out at that time and it has been suggested that an outside speaker be secured for the occasion. In accepting the chairmanship, Talbert called the committee's attention to the record of Dr. R. A. Cushman, who announced several months ago that he intended to resign. Preserving harmony is the keynote of the committee's work. Talbert said, and expresses hope that he will be as successful as his predecessor. In replyting to Talbert, Dr. Cushman reviewed the success of the committee in the past, thanking the members for their co-operation. He recalled that Orange county at the last presidential election piled up a larger majority for President Coolidge, in proportion to registration, than any other county in the United States. Following the election of Earl Abbey, deputy county clerk, as secretary, the committee proceeded to the choosing of vice chairmen for the five districts. For Santa Ana, E. B. Collier wa selected. Collier acted as temporary chairman in starting the organization session. Albert C. Ruoff was chosen for the second district, W. E. Alexander for the third. Clyde Newton for the fourth and Col. M. B. Wellington for the fifth. Old-Tim I Hoover Worl of New Herbert American District age, age of Mark Reeves a meeting formula Repoles.

Although the line is to be constructed for the purpose of carrying power to San Bernardino county, an interchange agreement had been made whereby power would flow into Orange county at certain times in case it is needed. Even if it were found agreeable to use the route originally picked in the northern part of the county, the power company prefers to use the Santa Ana cayon line. Residents of the northern region have registered vigorous protest to the proposed route and the board of supervisors has withheld its approval of the route until the residents affected are satisfied. BURDENING THE MAILS That the postal service will have a $100,000,000 deficit this year is not due to any particular fault of the service itself, but rather to the inherent weakness of government operation of business enterprises. There is no doubt that with private management, free from the red tape and unscientific methods which obtain at present, the postal service would be made self-sustaining without increasing rates or reducing its efficiency. But private management would not transport carloads of the Congressional Record containing political speeches free. It would not select its most important executives on the strength of their political activity. It would not do many other wasteful things now being done. During the present campaign it is reported from Washington that all records for distribution of political mail at public expense are being broken. One congressman who sought a senatorial nomination sent out 12 tons of free mail before the primary; another member sent out 10 tons of his speech in the same manner. It is believed that before the campaign ends more than 60 tons of this free political mail will be going out of Washington each day. Politicians of both parties are responsible for this abuse of their official positions. The public pays the bill. What else is an easy-going public for, anyway? OUR VACANT LAND According to a report recently issued by the general land office of the department of the interior, property in the possession of the federal government has potential value of $26,000,-000,000. In the list of its holdings in the West are half a billion acres of unsurveyed territory, much of which is said to be rich in minerals, a total equal in area to that of Texas, California, Monroe County. When to Cut The Silage Crop By W. M. CORY Assistant Farm Advisor It is best to cut the crop for the silo at a time when it contains the maximum food nutrients in a condition that will make good silage. Formely corn was cut for the silo in a very green condition, before the ear and stalks had matured, and a very sour silage high in water, was obtained. The proper time to cut corn for the silo is when the kernel is well dented and the lower leaves on the stalk-dry; but the stalk itself still full of sap. Corn in this condition contains the maximum food nutrients and at the same time sufficient moisture to cause it to pack well in the silo. In case there are a few days of dry hot winds before the corn is cut it would be well to add water at the time the corn is blown into the silo. To make silage it is necessary to exclude the air. Naturally when the material becomes too dry, it is extremely duffy and cannot be packed tight enough; air pockets are formed which cause mouldy spots in the silage. The corn should be moist enough to pac-well. In the last few years it has been proved that the importance of packing or trampling silage has been overestimated. Several experiment stations and many users of island have demonstrated beyond a doubt that silos can be filled satisfactorily without trampling. The silo fills more rapidly when it is not tramped, making it necessary for a re-fill to get the full capacity of the silo. OUR GREATEST INDUSTRY About 1,000,000 persons are employed in keeping the wheels of education going, in this country—a greater number of persons than are engaged full time by any single private corporation in America. Expenditures for education in the United States this year will reach the stupendous total of $3,600,-000,000! There is no single private industry in the United States that has any such huge outlay as this for operating expenses. And there will be 30,000,000 students in educational institutions of all kinds in this country, in the school year just opening. Dr. Frank M. Phillips, chief statistician of the United States Bureau of Education, is authority for these illuminating figures.

In the list of its holdings in the West are half a billion acres of unsurveyed territory, much of which is said to be rich in minerals, a total equal in area to that of Texas, California, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona, the five largest states in the Union. In addition, there are 200,000,000 acres of land that have been surveyed but not yet opened to development. Finally there is the vast stretch of about 300,000 square miles of national forests embracing an area equal to that of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Iowa combined. In the opinion of the land office chief, all the unappropriated land of the West now is regarded as valuable. It represents a vast reserve of wealth, which should be carefully conserved, because it doubles in value every 10 years. WHERE DO THEY GO? Wine grape production for the year is forecast at 475,000 tons by the crop reporting officials of the government. It would be interesting to follow these grapes when marketed and see just what becomes of them. When the prohibition law went into effect grapes were selling at about $10.00 per ton and many were left unharvested. Many vineyardists in California uprooted the vines and began planting orchards. Soon the price soared to unprecedented heights and vineyard owners became prosperous. That one event was the cause of the other is taken for granted, but is not very good logic. "After this, therefore, because of this" is oftentimes a fallacy. Nevertheless we would like to know where all these grapes go. During the first six months of this year Canada took 48 per cent of the United States exports of agricultural implements. The volume of exports to Canada establishes a record never before equaled in any similar period. Expenditures for education in the United States this year will reach the stupendous total of $3,000,-000,000! There is no single private industry in the United States that has any such huge outlay as this for operating expenses. And there will be 30,000,000 students in educational institutions of all kinds in this country, in the school year just opening. Dr. Frank M. Phillips, chief statistician of the United States Bureau of Education, is authority for these illuminating figures. It is inspiring to contemplate the fact that the heaviest percentage of this vast enrollment of 30,000,000 are elementary school pupils, whose numbers are estimated at 23,000,000. The chief item of expense in government here in California is education. This state and the nation spend colossal sums for education. It is well spent. Not that schools are perfect; not that educational methods are all that they should be—but that such a vast educational system, imperfect though it may be, spells the devotion of the American people to popular intelligence. They want their children educationally trained. They are willing to pay stupendous sums to provide educational facilities. This spirit is in itself a splendid commentary upon the character of the American people and their fidelity to the ideals which have made this Republic great and respected throughout the world. Sauerkraut has become such a popular article of diet in this country that we now produce about 18,000,000 gallons each year, the value of this amounting to over 3 million dollars. Sauerkraut has the same chemical composition as cabbage, the principal differences being that the added salt and acid resulting from fermentation largely replace the sugar of the cabbage. These changes make sauerkraut much more palatable than cabbage to many people and do not detract materially from its food value. As soon as the pennant races are finished in the big leagues and the world series is over we will try to get down to the business of electing a President.

Reqa is the executive director of the Republican campaign in California and has been in Los Angeles in conference with C. C. Teague, Mondel Silberberg and Frank P. Flint. Reqa told the Southern leaders in part: "So far as the Hoover campaign is concerned, I look upon it as a great epoch in American history. 'Henry Ford spoke of it this morning when he spoke of the development in the future of the industrial age. We have got to have somebody of Hoover's type of mind in the White House if we are to reach future development of modern scientific research. The whole aspects of our industrial worlds are changing. There have been problems presented that twenty-five or fifty years ago nobody ever dreamed of. "I have seen it in the metal mining industry and I have seen it in the petroleum industry. The technology of both industries have developed to an extent that has left me completely behind and out of the race. The present-day metallurgy in the mining industry and the present-day refining technology in the petroleum industry are just so far ahead of what they were in 1917 that there is no comparison whatever." "When I built the first mill in Ely, Nevada, I said that we would get 74% extraction and I made the prophecy at that time that within ten years that will would be obsolete. It has been rebuilt twice since then and burnt down once. The best thing that happened to it was when it burned down, because it has been rebuilt and is now a mod-" Buena Park Show To Be Beautiful Thousands of Dahlias Will Be Exhibited Tomorrow Thousands of adhilas growing in Orange county gardens are being watched by their owners this week, many of them being destined for showing at the sixth Orange county dahlia show at Buena Park September 14 and 15. The dahlia committee of the Woman's club is sponsoring the show. Mrs. L.T. Wilsey has been the chairman of the committee three of the six years since the show was established as an annual event. A lover of the blossoms, Mrs. Wilsey was instrumental in presenting the first show given here as it was her suggestion that inspired the initial affair. Coming from Pomona, Mrs. Wilsey says she was impressed with the greater beauty of the dahlias grown in Orange county as compared with those grown in her former home. The Buena Park show has, she believes, been an incentive for the development of dahlia growing throughout the county. George Pratt, of Buena Park, has this year over 1000 plants, which include 40 distinct varieties of chit po-n-pom dahlia. The dahlia is a comparatively new flower. Mrs. Wilsey says, and was imported from Mexico to Europe by Dr. Dahl, a Swedish naturalist. He called the plant the Mexican tuber and exported them purely for a commercial purpose—that of supplanting the potato. People of England did not take kindly to the new food and the dish soon disappeared from British tables. The flower, however found favor with gardeners in both Europe and America, who soon produced the double dahlias from the single flower in many varieties. The tubers of the dahlia, Mrs. Wilsey states, are said to be eaten as a food in France at the present time. This year a new dahlia has been developed by Ronald Borang, of Orange, and is called the "Bueno Park." This is the first time it has been shown. ONLY FIVE WIN Not more than five out of every 100 persons who speculate in the stock market have any chance of quitting with a profit! This is not a casual estimate, but a calculation carefully arrived at through a study of brokers' records by Fred C. Kelly, financial writer, who analyzes the current record-breaking market operations. Of the estimated 12,000,000 Americans, most of them newcomers to speculation, who are "playing the market," the five per cent of winners is made up almost entirely of hardened, experienced speculators who have plenty capital, Mr. Kelly finds. The number of uninitiated outsiders who have made money at the end of a month or a year of market dabbling is almost infinitesimal. But a handful of outsiders do tumble into easy money, and it is the tales of their quickly won wealth, rather than the recital of the millions of failures, that draw new moths to the stock market flame. Of the failures the investigator encountered, one man lost his live savings of $8000, an elderly woman lost Called It a Draw In Spelling Contest Pupils Could Not Be Floored With Hard Words The first state-wide spelling contest for school children, held Saturday, September 1st, at the State Fair here brought the discovery that it was practically impossible to find words in the school text books that the contestants could not spell. This was particularly true in the elementary class, where, after nearly six hours, the competition developed into a physical endurance contest rather than a spelling bee, with the result that the prize money was divided among twelve surviving contestants. In the high school division, the winners were: First, Leonard Randall, Auburn, Placer county; $200 and gold medal; second, Alice McCune, Pacific greater number engaged full time corporation in for education this year will total of $3,000. angle private in lates that has this for opertion will be 30. national institucountry, in the g.

In the elementary division, the prize money was split as follows: Burton Goldstein, Chico, Butte county, and Elsle Louis, San Luis Obispo, $42.50 each. These two contestants had no errors.

To test the value of the tips on which most inexperienced speculators do their buying, Mr. Kelly played the market "on paper" for several months. "If a friend advised me to buy United States Steel common for a quick move upward, I secretly wrote down the suggestion," he explains. "After a time I tallied up my list of such suggestions to see what actually had happened. In this way I made the discovery that most of the stock tips that one receives casually are wrong. Even after disregarding information from irresponsible people and those who seemed unlikely to know what they were talking about, if I had bought ten shares of each stock I was advised to buy, I would have lost heavily." Some folks have the idea that the way to settle the liquor question is to permit each state to decide how much liquor is intoxicating. On this theory New York would have the worst of it as it's easier to get dizzy on Broadway than any place in the world.

Health authorities say that during hot weather babies should wear as few clothes as possible. And there doesn't seem to be any age limit on babies this year, either. A contemporary says that this campaign is a fight between Broadway and Main Street and that Broadway is a long and well populated thoroughfare. But it is to be remembered that there are a whole lot of Main Streets. IT'S BETTER IT'S BETTER to use condensed or evaporated milk than none.
