Local Editors All for Hoover Southern California Newspaper Men Are Unit in Support of Republican Candidate There can be little doubt remaining concerning the consensus of editorial opinion in the Southern counties, according to a statement issued by Mandel Silberberg, Republican campaign director for the South. Southern California editors are almost solidly united for Hoover, following the compilation of an editorial poll taken during the past two weeks by J. L. Matthews, well-known Southern California editor and chairman of the publicity division of the Hoover headquarters at the Alexandria hotel. Today there are 114 editors of Southern California publications enrolled for Hoover and Curtis, according to the returns of the poll. These are editors of substantial daily and weekly papers in the ten Southern counties and do not include any publications in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. From a study of this list it is claimed by Hoover leaders that every important community has as strong a newspaper representation for the Republican Presidential candidate as it could possibly be expected to have. Included in the Hoover list of editors are many politically independent papers and several others that in past years have supported the Democratic Presidential nominee. The poll was made up from all the papers in the South, regardless of their pretisan policies of other years. For the first time in the history of Southern California newspaperdom the Southern newspapers are almost a unit for one political ideal. It is pointed out that two years ago the 120 established newspapers included in the present Hoover poll were about evenly divided in support of Governor Friend Richardson and Lieutenant-Governor C. C. Young. Few of them took seriously the aspirations of the Democratic non-nee. Persimmon Growers To Meet at Tustin Saturday, September 29, has been set for the Annual Southern California Persimmon Growers' Field Day, according to Farm Advisor H. E. Wahiberg. The executive committee of the Orange County Farm Bureau Persimmon Department, headed by A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, is making preparations to handle a large delegation from the principal persimmon growing sections of Southern California. The morning sessions will be held in the auditorium of the Tustin High School, according to present plans. The afternoon will be devoted to a field tour, visiting several persimmon groves of the Tustin and Irvine districts. The day's program will be handled under the auspices of the Southern California Farm Bureau Persimmon Department and the Agricultural Extension Service. Guatemalan Visitors Praise Fair Exhibit The subtropical fruit display featured by the Farm Advisor's office at the Orange County Fair just cooled, was the center of interest for the many horticulturists who came from near and far to see and study the variety of specimens grown in Orange county. Among the many foreign visitors who were attracted to the exhibit were Misses Bertha Panagua y Calvo and Martha Panagua y Galvez daughters of Dr. Favio Panagua y Galvez from Guatemala at Los Angeles. The young ladies had made a special trip from Los Angeles to see this exhibit of subtropicals, many of which were common to their native home in Central America. They were agreeably surprised at the large variety of fruits that had made their adopted home in Orange county. Furthermore, some fruits in the exhibit were entirely new to them. They saw them for the first time at this booth. Some of the fruits that were shown included: Avocados, papayas, sapotas, guavas, fefjones, bananas, cherimoyas, jujubes, pomegranates, mangoes, carob, lime leaves, mandarins, kumquats. Presidential nominee. The poll was made up from all the papers in the South, regardless of their partisan policies of other years. For the first time in the history of Southern California newspaperdom the Southern newspapers are almost a unit for one political ideal. It is pointed out that two years ago the 120 established newspapers included in the present Hoover poll were about evenly divided in support of Governor Friend Richardson and Lieutenant-Governor C. C. Young. Few of them took seriously the aspirations of the Democratic nominee. Naturally, the fight two years ago was in the primaries with no light remaining for the general election. Today, practically the whole of that editorial support instead of being equally divided between two candidates of the outstanding strength of Young and Richardson, are practically united Hoover. It is claimed by Republican leaders here that this is a certain indication that the most overwhelming vote ever given for a Presidential nominee in the Southern counties with their total registration of more than a million will go for Hoover. The drift from the normally Democratic papers to the Hoover column is pronounced, but no accurate list can be compiled this early during the campaign. Out of Northern California, however, where there is occasionally a pronounced Democratic leaning, comes one defection that is attracting state-wide attention. This is the Corning Observer, an old-established paper in Tehama county in the extreme North. Tom E. Harper, editor and owner of the Corning Observer, has printed this editorial announcement: "Nationally, The Observer has always been Democratic in politics, but this year of grace there is absolutely no chance. It was thought that the old beloved party had reached the aenea of damphcollishness in the New York convention, but the Houston conclave has accomplished what could be called superdiocy. "This campaign will, from now on, be a fight between proven ability in domestic and foreign affairs; sheer honesty and far-seeing intelligence, at the head of the Republican party, and a representative of Tammany corruption, underworld rowdyism and contempt for our constitution leading the Democratic hosts." "For the first time in its existence The Observer ardently hopes for a Democratic defeat. And may it be overwhelming." SEVENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD Seventy-eight years ago Monday California was admitted as a state into the Union. There are, undoubtedly, many men and women in California still living who will recall the days of rejoicing that took place when this was accomplished. It was just following the discovery of gold and the intrush of the gold seekers as they came over the plains from eastern states. California had the unusual experience of coming into the Union full fledged farm bureau leaders meet at Santa Ana A regional conference of Farm Bureau leaders from all southern counties will be held at the Farm Bureau office, Santa Ana Friday, September 14, according to J. A. Slaughter, chairman of the conference and director to the California Farm Bureau Federation. The sessions will start at 10 o'clock and continue through the day. The visiting leaders from the outside counties will be the guests of the Orange County Farm Bureau. The business session will include committee and department reports on various Farm Bureau projects, including state plans for reapportionment campaign hay grading, 4-H Agricultural club work, Home Department, Compensation Insurance, Automobile Insurance and theoning membership campaign. The conference will also consider the need for increasing the facilities of the Citrus Experiment Station. Orange County Farm Bureau directors and officials of the local Farm Centers will participate, according to Norman M. Blancey, secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau. Citrus Growers Will Attend Institute On September 21 and 22 the Southern California Citrus Growers' Department of the Farm Bureau is planning to hold an Institute at Lindsay, in cooperation with the Tulare County Farm Bureau, according to Farm Advisor Wahiberg, who states that this will be a wonderful opportunity for Southern growers to see something of the citrus industry of Central California and to hear discussions on problems which are not only problems of General California but of Southern counties as well. Soil moisture control, fertilizer practice and citrus pest control problems will be discussed during the two-day program. Field trips will be taken and the growers given a chance to see at first hand what is being done by the growers of that citrus district of California. Hoover's Attitude SEVENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD Seventy-eight years ago Monday California was admitted as a state into the Union. There are, undoubtedly, many men and women in California still living who will recall the days of rejoicing that took place when this was accomplished. It was just following the discovery of gold and the intrush of the gold seekers as they came over the plains from eastern states. California had the unusual experience of coming into the Union full fledged without going through the period of territorial experiences. We can safely say that there is no other state which has in seventy-eight years of its history, developed as rapidly in population, in wealth, in resources, and in outlook as has our great state. California has a history that is interesting, romantic, thrilling and instructive, and with her rapidly increasing population, with her wonderfully developing cities, she fortunately lies at a point where certainly for the next half century she will be in the very center of the world's greatest development. "Westward the course of empire takes its way." It has now circumnavigated the globe. The conservative, ancient, and mystic cast is being galvanized into a wonderful new life and activity under the inspiring touch of its youth who have drunk deep at the fountains of western learning. In culture the millions are standing more erect and are bound to effect the future. Already the trade with the far east has outstripped the expectations of the prophets of a decade ago. The tonnage through Panama as early as 1924 surpassed the tonnage through the Suez canal. The trade of the Orient is developing here on the Pacific Coast and it is only in its beginning. By the time California has reached the century mark of its life as a state we predict that the metropolis of our Southland will be second only in importance, in population, trade, and wealth to New York City. These days the girl who doesn't have anything to wear may be dressed in the height of fashion. Herbert Hoover's personal application to the problems of conservation of child life in various sectors of the European war areas was revealed here yesterday by Dr. Thomas J. Orbison, prominent Los Angeles physician. During the famine years of 1919-1920 Dr. Orbison directed the feeding of $5,000 Russian children under the age of 12 years as chief of the Latvian section of the Baltic Mission of the American Relief Administration headed by Hoover. "In all more than 4,000,000 starving children were fed during the first feeding program by the plan devised by Herbert Hoover and his efficiency in this connection astounded the humanitarian experts and workers of the world." Dr. Orbison said. "The results of the rehabilitation and saving of these starving millions demonstrated beyond any question Hoover's overwhelming interest in child welfare. In my section alone under the Hoover plan thirty-two kitchens were maintained to have child life, including nursing children, and the records show that there was a constant average gain of one pound per child per month, with a gain in weight for nursing infants of 1.87 pounds per month for nursing children. "Every mother, social worker and child welfare agency in the United States can find in Hoover's record in Europe and in the Mississippi flood area the guarantee of his sympathetic understanding of and ability to cope with the most challenging problems of childhood." ANAHEIM GAZETTE Spanish Setting for L. A. County Fair Wonderful Sights to Greet Visitors at Pomona Show By C. N. P. A. Service The fair this year is presented in a gorgeous Spanish setting. Unlimited parking space is provided for care. On the spacious grounds there is everything for the comfort and convenience of the guests. For the first time the fair is to open on Sunday and a notable program has been prepared. There will be a 1½ mileway, carnival, sensational and fun. Special excursions are offered on street railway and bus lines. In all the history of the big exposition there has never been anything like the flood of demands for exhibit space. Not only will the attendance be the greatest yet, but the number and variety of the displays will set a new record. Practically the only departments not invaded to provide more room are the emergency hospital and the fire department. A mighty panorama awaits the throngs. More than a score of elaborate feature displays have been entered by cities and counties of the state. Individual fruit, vegetable and nut displays will occupy over 10,000 square feet. The heavy machinery tent and the automobile tent are crowded to the limit with all space sold weeks ago. The paltry and rare fowl show will not only be the largest of the year on the Pacific coast, but it will be the largest in the history of the fair. There will be unusual displays in both the rabbit and pigeon departments. The women's department will have the cream of paintings, sculpturing and the fine arts of the Southland. The Junior Fair is a whole show in itself. Over a hundred trotting horses and half a hundred runners have been entered in the greatest series of race programs ever held in the South. In the brilliant night horse show 300 aristocrats will participate in the most beautiful feature of the kind in America. NYE OUT FOR HOOVER Senator Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota, announces that the period of his hesitancy is over, and that he will support Mr. Hoover's candidacy. After the fashion of farm leaders, Senator Nye waited until both the Republican and Democratic nominees had made clear their stand on farm relief. This Mr. Hoover did at Palo Alto and West Branch. Governor Smith embodied his views in his acceptance speech at Albany. All the material necessary for an intelligent choice between the farm views of the two candidates was thus in Senator Nye's possession before he announced his conviction that Mr. Hoover is determined to solve the farm problem; also that Mr. Hooyer can and will be "a great friend and benefactor of agriculture." An Independent Republican and an active agitator for farm relief, with a large personal following in North Dakota, Senator Nye was a prize whose loss hardly enhance the confidence of the Democratic organization in its ability to capture the farm vote. The Democrats are fishing in troubled waters; but neither former Governor Lowen nor Senator Nye did more than nibble their hook. Senator Nye's support carries with it a significance that is broader than the farm relief issue. Anyone who has followed his record as a senatorial inquisitor in Washington may be sure that Gerald P. Nye would not give his support to a candidate who could not in return give him assurance that his administration would be kept clean of corruption. ENTERING DATES Sept. 4 Sept. 10 Sept. 17 O. S.

A MATCH is so inexpensive that three people refuse to use it in common. Yet, when you are looking for something in some odd corner at night, it is even cheaper to switch on an electric light than to strike a match. "Electricity is CHEAP... Use More of It" Electricity would not be nearly as cheap as it is in Central-Southern California were it not for men working for the people, who learned how to make two power transmission lines do the work of three, thus reducing by 50 per cent the cost of bringing economical electricity from the mountains hundreds of miles to your door. Their reward was the Coffin Medal for electric achievement... yours, more abundant power at a still lower cost. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Owned by Those it Serves Arizona Women Boost for Hoover Arizona has the distinction of having more women voters than any other state. East or West, according to Mrs. Barnet Marks, Republican national committeewoman from that state, who has been in Los Angeles conferring with California Hoover women leaders. "Four years ago the women of Arizona cast fifty-one per cent of the vote at the general election in Arizona, and from figures available today it appears certain that this percentage will be substantially increased," Mrs. Marks said yesterday. "Our women are particularly strong for Hoover and Curtis and even this far in advance of election day they are militantly active in bringing out the biggest possible vote." "Regardless of how Arizona stands politically in her state elections there is no doubt today as to the outcome of the national ticket there in November. The state will cast its electoral vote for the Republican leaders. Our women are proud of our record in being the first state in which the women have outnumbered men voters. It is difficult of analysis, but, at least, it is an indication that Arizona women realize the importance of the vote and also their obligation of citizenship in voting." Almond Crop Is Worth $5,000,000 Members of the California Almond Growers' Exchange have received one million dollars in advance payment on the crop of 1928 before a single pound of the output has been sold, according to an announcement made by T. C. Tucker, manager of that organization. In announcing this early and substantial payment Manager Tucker said, "This credit established by the California Almond Growers' Exchange is a splendid vote of confidence of the bankers in the stability of the organization and the fairness of price which the directors of the exchange will name on Monday, September 10, for the opening of the 1928 crop season. If the banks have this much confidence in the exchange certainly its own members and the almond industry as a whole have every reason to look forward to an orderly marketing season with fair prices for the entire crop." "This crop should bring approximately $5,000,000 to the state this year, $4,000,000 of which will be distributed by the exchange." "It has been an early harvest and the almond trade is already displaying much eagerness regarding the supply and prices. We are having no trouble in financing our operations and the banks evidently appreciate the ability of the exchange to sell the almonds of its members." "There is only one fly in the ointment and that is the possibility that independent buyers have secured sufficient tonnage outside of the exchange to have an effect on the prices which will be named by it. Apparently the trade is convinced that these prices will be fair because the exchange is receiving wires and letters every day accepting its conditional contracts for deliveries." The most serious thing we have heard against Secretary Hoover's statement on the farm problem is that it was approved at the Williamstown conference, but of course Mr. Hoover isn't responsible for that. To Citrus Growers who sell for Cash The proved way to greater returns and higher net profits is through the Exchange. Note these nine reasons why: 1. The cash buyer is careful to buy at a price which protects him in case of a decline. If prices advance, he takes the advance. You get nothing additional. 2. In case of a market decline (unless the cash buyer has fully protected himself in his purchasing price) he is sometimes unable to pay you the final balance due. In this case you may lose the profits of many years. 3. Your crop is perishable. It must be moved during the season. But if the market is doubtful or poor the cash buyer does not have to buy. You are thus compelled to take best offer. 4. If you sell your crop early you often sustain a loss in the growth of fruit during the season. This growth not only increases tonnage but often gives greater value per pound by producing a larger percentage of sizes which bring the most money. 5. The cash operator's cost of doing business is greater than the Exchange. He fixes his price to you accordingly. You pay this extra cost. 6. The cash method of marketing has a disturbing effect upon the entire industry. It interferes with orderly distribution because such shipments are irregular and uncertain. This lowers prices generally. All growers share in the loss. 7. The buyer could put his money into safe securities and get a fair return. Instead, he risks it in perishable fruit because he expects to get a higher rate of interest on his investment. You pay this excessive interest charge. 8. You perhaps feel confident that you can get from the buyer more than the market will justify. But cash the market is doubtful or poor the cash buyer does not have to buy. You are thus compelled to take best offer. 4 If you sell your crop early you often sustain a loss in the growth of fruit during the season. This growth not only increases tonnage but often gives greater value per pound by producing a larger percentage of sizes which bring the most money. 5 The cash buyer cannot get as much for your fruit as the Exchange is getting for similar fruit. His brands are not advertised. His volume is limited and irregular. His market representatives give only a part of their 8 The buyer could put his money into safe securities and get a fair return. Instead, he risks it in perishable fruit because he expects to get a higher rate of interest on his investment. You pay this excessive interest charge. 9 You perhaps feel confident that you can get from the buyer more than the market will justify. But cash buyers have been operating in California for years and have been getting the best of the bargain. If you were getting the best of the bargain, there would be no cash buyers, because they could not keep operating at a loss. Join the Exchange By marketing through the Exchange you will get the highest price that the market will pay for your fruit. At the same time you will profit by the lower costs of packing and selling. And you will help to increase all orchard values. Plan now to join the Exchange. Then talk to the manager of the nearest Exchange Association or District Exchange.
