Government Explores Mineral Deposit During the World War a prospector searchin gan old tunnel near Libby, Montana, noticed flakes of a coarse mica-like mineral that writhed and swelled enormously when toched by the flame of his candle. The flaky mineral, according to a statement just issued by the Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, proved to be vermiculite, and further examination showed it to be present in great quantities. The name vermiculite is applied to a group of minerals that expand and give off water upon heating. Some members of the group thus open into long, wormlike threads, hence the name. The heated and expanded material is very light, exhibits a golden or silvery luster, and appears to have very low heat conductivity. These properties suggest possibly important commercial uses. The vermiculite deposit near Libby, Montana, which is more extensive than other known similar deposits in this country, is accompanied by esbestos and feldspar in considerable quantities and by other interesting minerals, one of which carries small percentages of vanadium, a metal that is useful as an alloy in certain types of steel. A report on this deposit, under the title "Deposits of vermiculite and other minerals in the Rainy Creek district, near Libby, Montana," by J. T. Pardee and E. S. Larsen, has just been published by the Geological Survey as Bulletin 805-B. Copies may be purchased from the superintendent of documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., for 5 cents. In the recent election in Italy 99 out of 100 votes cast were for Mussolini. Maybe it would be a good idea for Chairman Raskob to go over there and get the system.

The play will be repeated on Sunday and again on Saturday and Sunday, April 27th and 28th, and Saturday and Sunday, May 4th and 5th. The Ramona play this year will be greater and better in every department, according to assurances given the management this week by Phil Whiting, who succeeds the late Garnet Holne as director. The cast of more than 200 people has been in rehearsal for the past eight weeks. The costuming of the cast this year will be more elaborate than ever before and visitors to the play who have seen it in other years will discover many innovations this season. The growing popularity of the Ramona Play is best shown by the tremendous increase in advance ticket sales this year. Requests for seats have come from practically every community between San Francisco and the Mexican line and from Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. Special attention will be given this year to the comfort of patrons in the Ramona Bowl, the natural amphitheatre at the foot of the San Jacintos in which the play is presented. A staff of practically one hundred men under the direction of G. C. Disney, will be on hand to handle the parking and ushering problems. Free parking is provided for four thousand cars just outside the amphitheatre and comfortable seats are provided for from five to six thousand people. Ice water is piped uner pressure to fountains in the ales. The setting of the Ramona Pageant is particularly appropriate because it was in what is now the Hemet-San Jacinto valley that most of the thrilling and romantic incidents related by Helen Hunt Jackson in her world famous novel actually occurred a half century ago. Edward Poorman, general manager of the Ramona Pageant, this year. LOCAL BREVITIES Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff of Los Angeles were in town on Wednesday, calling upon old friends. Friends of L. B. Webber have received cards announcing his arrival at Honolulu and departure for Hongkong, the next stop on his around-the-world trip. Mrs. Elizabeth Hargrove, wife of A. E. Hargrove, well known real estate and insurance man, has filed suit against Clyde Childers for injuries received when she was struck by Childers' car. The accident occurred at the intersection of Center and Palm street last November. Mrs. Hargrove states that internal injuries and a possible skull fracture resulted from the accident. She asks $10,085 damages. In answering the complaint of L. A. Baker, who alleged that H. W. Skinner had failed to pay him $463.50, said to be due for spraying and fumigating an orange orchard southwest of Anaheim, Skinner asserted that Baker had damaged the trees to the extent of $5,000 through alleged negligence and asked judgment for that amount. On April 4th the standardization inspector, George Sloop, was fortunate in arriving at the entrance of Brea Canyon just as a truck load of cull oranges, the property of W. B. Lester of Fullerton, came through. Upon inspection they were found to be 18% frozen, with no certificate guarantee transportation to a by-product plant. Mr. Lester was convicted and fined $20 by the court in Santa Ana. He stated he had obtained these oranges from the American Fruit Growers' packing house in Upland, California.

Walls Hostess To A Happy Throng At Beautiful Country Home The beautiful new home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Walls, east of town, was thrown open to the ladies of Ebell and their friends at a bridge and luncheon party on Wednesday. The ladies were graciously made welcome by the charming hostess and after enjoying the noon luncheon, which was served at small tables decorated in pastel colors, the afternoon was spent at bridge. The luncheon was cooked and served by the ladies, under the supervision of the chairman of committees. Mrs. Inez Yeats was general chairman of the affair; Mrs. Huston Kier, chairman of luncheon; Mrs. J. S. Waggoner, chairman reservations; Mrs. George Paige, chairman of decorations; Mrs. Clyde Childress, chairman of card tables; Mrs. J. E. Coyne, chairman of dishes and silverware. The first prize at cards was won by Mrs. R. L. Augustus; second, Mrs. O. E. Hansen; third, Mrs.J.Baum; fourth Mrs.Harry Horn; fifth, Mrs.J.Skwilis; sixth, Mrs.Pen Baxter; seventh, Mrs.Florence Phelan; eighth, Mrs.Clyde Childress; ninth, Mrs.D.Jessurum. There were one hundred and fifty cases present and the affair was a brilliant success. Over one hundred reservations for lunch were sold and a large number came for bridegge in the afternoon. MAY FORM GUARD The American Legion Post of Anaheim is considering the organization of a company of California National Guard which may include memberships from Fullerton and other northern Orange county towns. Major A. Jackson of Pasadena appeared before the post and explained that the state is willing to rent a building, furnish equipment and to pay enlisted men and officers for time spent in drill and for vacation camp periods. Commander Joe Elliott promised to appoint a committee to confer on the matter. The unit would be under the jurisdiction of the 185th Infantry, with installation headquarters at Ramona。 Irrigation In the Hawaiian Islands There are probably few places under the American flag where water is more important than in the territory of Hawaii. Agriculture is the principal industry of the islands—indeed, agricultural products account for more than 95 per cent of the aggregate value of all exports. The production of crops is dependent on a high degree on the application of water by irrigation. For example, more than three-fifths of the sugar crop, which for the year ending June 30, 1928, amounted to $70,000,000. The ice manufacturers in Atlantic City have ordered all ice men to be attired in next uniforms this summer, to speak gently and not tread with muddy shoes on freshly scrubbed kitchen floors. This shows that the ice-less refrigerator competition is getting in its work. Edward Poorman, general manager of the Ramona Pageant this week suggested that all persons who can possibly do so, attend the play on the first or second week-ends. Past experience has shown that the final performance brings such a tremendous crowd that the capacity of the amphitheatre is taxed. Preparing For Summer Tourists Annual Rush Expected to Start About May 15th Preparations are being made for the opening of the summer tourist season next month. It was announced yesterday by officials of the Union Pacific system.

Already Pullman equipment is being concentrated in Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis and many other travel centers in preparation for the heavy travel demands the middle of next month when the torist rush to California and the Pacific Coast opens. Advance reservations are heavy for the opening days of the summer season, according to reports received by R. B. Robertson, assistant traffic manager of the Union Pacific. The Shrine and Elks conventione, together with many other annual meetings that will be held here this summer will add many thousands of visitors to this section during the next few months. Extra trains for Chicago, Kansas City and other eastern cities are being prepared by the railroads to meet the demands for the opening of the eastbound summer season May 22. The first Union Pacific train under the summer rates will be a special leaving Los Angeles at 9 a.m. on May 22 for Chicago and intermediate points, with connections at Salt Lake, Denver, Omaha and Chicago to other lines. BLOOD-THIRSTY FLEAS The pestiferous flea made himself unusually troublesome in 1928, thereby stimulating interest in his destruction. Because fleas require blood to enable them to reproduce, infestations are usually connected with the sleeping places of dogs, cats, hogs or chickens. Such places should be sprayed with creosote oil by means of a force pump. If handled carefully, creosote oil may be used in basements and outbuildings, though it stains considerably. If fleas are found breeding under rugs or in the cracks of floors, the rugs should be hung up in the sun and thoroughly beaten, and the floors wiped up with gasoline. Five pounds of flaked naphthalene, scattered over the floor of a closed room and left for 8 or 10 hours, will kill the fleas in it. Infested cats or dogs should be dusted with powdered derris root or fresh pyrethrum powder. GREATER THAN EVER THIS YEAR! THE SEVENTH ANNUAL OUTDOOR PLAY GREATER THAN EVER THIS YEAR!
