Nineteen Chosen As Grand Jurors Two Anaheim Men Drawn on the Roll In addition to the regular statutory Instructions given to the personnel of the grand jury, Judge James L. Allen added a duty that has not been included in the past when he swore in the 1920 edition of the Jury Monday. In instructing the member of the jury as to their duties, Judge Allen included the following, which has not heretofore been a part of such instructions, but which the presiding judge felt would be of value in the work of investigation and would co-ordinate the work of the body each year so that the maximum results could be obtained: "The grand jury last year made certain investigations and recommendations relative to the conduct of the business of the county and the court believes that such recommendations should be of some avail.

Christmas is less than five weeks away, and Anaheim is ranking preparations for the festive season—the season of joy and gladness—the season that all Beautiful Decorations of Last Year to be Repeated; Trees to be Larger and Lights More Plentiful; Lights will be Turned on Saturday Evening, Dec. 7th; Merchants Buy Heavy Stocks for the Trade. Christmas is less than five weeks away, and Anaheim is ranking preparations for the festive season—the season of Joy and gladness—the season that all the Christian world observes. It is the season when gifts are exchanged among friends and enmities are forgotten. It is the season when Santa Claus makes his annual pilgrimage to all hands distributing gifts and carrying happiness to the little folks. Merchants of Anaheim are prepared for the heavy trade expected from now until Christmas day. An unusually large stock of merchandise that will meet the demands of all the people of this section has been purchased by them, and they can supply the demand for anything from a cheap toy to an automobile. Anaheim will be dressed in gay attire for the occasion. The innovation of displaying Christmas trees along the sidewalks of the principal streets, which caused much comment last year, will be repeated this year according to a decision by the merchants association. These trees will be planted in their boxes and ready for turning on the lights Saturday evening, December 7th. They will be larger than the trees used last year and each will carry a dozen more lights. Firms that participated in the fundraising of the 1928 celebration will be charged only $3 this year, division of expenses being placed as follows: One dollar and fifty cents for tree; $1 for placing and sanding in box; 50 cents pro rata of incidentals. New firms will pay $5, which includes the $2 addition charge for the tree box. If sufficient funds can be obtained large wreaths will be hung from street intersections, according to the Merchants' Association committee in charge. Boxes will be placed Wednesday, December 5. Collection will be handled by the committee, divided as follows: On West Center street, Ray Le Fonte, south side, Los Angeles street to Lemon; H. J. Shaffer, north side, Los Angeles street, Lemon; O.

County Bonds Being Paid Off Good Example Set To Other Counties Throughout State Although Orange county is making rapid strides toward paying off its bond issues, it lacks a long way of being totally out of debt. During last year the county paid a total of $281,691 toward interest alone on county and district bond issues, together with a total of $344,500 toward paying off the bonds themselves. This was disclosed this week by State Controller Riley—who recently announced himself as candidate for governor of California—in a statement showing payments by counties on interest and bonded debt. Although his opening campaign statement, "If tax bills are to be halted in their upward curve, the first remedy is a reduction in cost of government" was aimed particularly at the state government, it applies to counties in a lesser degree, nevertheless, he believes.

Riley is Speaker at the Gathering Ray L. Riley, state controller, and candidate for governor, made an address to the Orange County Lions at Fullerton Tuesday night. Riley is president of the Lions' International, and the scope of service clubs was the subject of his address. "There are may avenues of work for the service club determined to aid its community," he said, "I dare say that there is not one among you who has not violated some law within the past 24 hours. This is not because you are normally law breakers, but it is because we have too many laws. We have sought to substitute laws for common sense. We know that on the open road when there is little traffic and a car is in good condition it is safe to drive 45 miles or more per hour, and yet the law says 40 miles is the limit. Here is something the service club can do in creating proper public sentiment, and in bringing about a return of common sense." "I have traveled much over all sections of California. And I see a pressing need for water conservation. You men can assist greatly in solving this problem." The speaker, although a candidate for governor, urged the service club to stay out of politics. Nounced himself as candidate for governor of California—in a statement showing payments by counties on interest and bonded debt. Although his opening campaign statement, "If tax bills are to be halted in their upward curve, the first remedy is a reduction in cost of government" was aimed particularly at the state government, it applies to counties in a lesser degree, nevertheless, he believes. Since 1912 the receipts for counties have increased 526 per cent, the payments 566 per cent, the bonded debt $60 per cent and the nonoperative property bearing the burden of this debt only 204 per cent. During the last several years, according to the controller, there appears to be a constant ratio of twenty million dollars or more of increased bond indebtedness of counties. Total payments made last year by the counties of California on bond interest alone was $14,559,676, while the same counties made total payments of $12,398,366 toward redeeming their debts. Four counties, in Riley's report, showed no interest or redemption payments. These were Alpine, Mono, Sierra, and Trinity. Amador county paid the smallest amount of interest in the state, or $300, together with $1,000 toward its county debt. Largest payments, as usual, were by Los Angeles, whose interest bill reached the staggering sum of $6,849,060, and payment on bonded debt. $8,321,326. Alameda county paid $1,222,763 in interest, and $819,750 toward its bonded debts. Judge Kuchel's decision in the suit brought by Nolan Buckner against Albert Frahm, rendering judgment in favor of Frahm, was upheld by Superior Judge Scovel, Tuesday. Buckner had sued Frahm for $125, the amount which he paid for a used automobile, claiming that the car had been misrepresented to him. Frahm filed a counter claim for $35 unpaid balance due him, and costs all amounting to $47.45. Kuchel denied the suit brought by Buckner but granted Frahm's counter claim. Buckner appealed the case to superior court and Judge Scovel upheld the decision of the justice court.

It was announced by Dale R. King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus exchange, with probably not more than 12 or 15 cars to be shipped. The California crop was expected to end by October 31, but at that date approximately 1200 cars of the valencia crop remained to be shipped. King stated. The total shipments from the state of valencias this year will amount to 90,000 cars, including the final clean-ups, which extended past the usual closing date of the season. Prices during the past week were good on the better sizes and grades although weaker on the smaller fruit. Shipments from Florida started strong last week with 400 cars and an estimate of 900 cars for this week. Approximately 150 cars of navels from northern California are shipped this week.

Oranges are f Eight High School Districts, Including Anaheim, Listed to Join In Its Formation; Matter Introduced at Meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce; Anaheim Attitude not Yet Known. As the formation of a county junior college appears hopeless a movement has been started for the organization of a union district outside of the proposed Northern Orange county district. As outlined it will be composed of eight high school districts. They are Tustin Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Orange. The question was brought up at the meeting of the Associated Chamber of Commerce held at Santa Ana. Wednesday evening, and was discussed by representatives from the districts interested. Sentiment in favor of the formation of such a district was practically unanimous, and a meeting will be held at an early date for the purpose of formulating plans. It is a foregone conclusion that Anaheim will not join with Fullerton in the formation of a Northern Orange county district. Sentiment is against it in all sections of the district and the vote against it at the election will be overwhelming, whether it unites in organization of the southern district remains to be seen. The people here favor a county wide school. The Santa Ana board of education has expressed its willingness to petition the county board of supervisors for the formation of a southern district if other high school districts would indicate their desire in the matter. The Santa Ana board was anxious not to appear in the role of forcing the issue or compelling any outside districts to come in under the plan against their wishes, and a vote following the discussion revealed that there was almost unanimously sentiment for the project, with representatives of all the districts declaring in favor of proceeding with the junior college plan. The law provides that only districts contiguous to the district in which the petition originates, which in this case would be Santa Ana, may be included in the original district, but that latter districts contiguous to any part of the union district could be included on petition. This excludes Capistrano, Anaheim and New Port Harbor high school districts from the original formation, but they seemed to have confidence that their interests would be amply protected by the action of the original board and expressed the desire for the inauguration of the plan. Tentative plans presented by committees to the meeting Wednesday provide for a most comprehensive curriculum and a plant with equipment and grounds costing in the neighborhood of $1,075,000. Location of the junior college will remain in the hands of the turkeys, who according to the law, it was stated Wednesday, must be unannounced. A Good Mother Called to Death Mrs. Cross Passes Away After Brief Illness Developing Pneumonia Mrs. Harriet Canfield Cross died on Friday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jane D. Helmsen, 205 South Claudia street where she has resided for a number of years past. Mrs. Cross was born in Chaumont, New York, December 25, 1843, residing in Puente before coming to Anaheim. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Helmsen, she leaves two sons, George E. Cross of Puente and William Cross of Beaumont. Two brothers of Mrs. Cross, Robert and Stephen McPherson came to this country in early days. Robert being one of the original members of the Westminster colony which under the leadership of Rev. Webber, settled there in 1870. Both brothers were prominently identified with early activities of the pioneers of this section and a number of their descendants are living in Orange, ad other sections of the county. Mrs. Cross has been in delicate health for a number of years but her death came suddenly. She was suffering from a heavy cold which developed into pneumonia. Funeral services were held in the chapel of Back's, Terry and Campbell funeral parlors on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Obsequies were conducted by Malman, of St. Michael's Episcopal church and Rev. A.G.H.Bode of Pasadena, former rector. Many friends of deceased were in attendance and keen regret was felt at her death. The casket lay under a bower of beautiful floral offerings and fragrant blossoms. Interment was made in Inglewood cemetery. Pall bearers were: Ernest Zitzmann, Dr. Leon Patrick, R.W.Blach, E.B.Abrams, O.T.Callor and Earl Hemphill. Walnut Irrigation Is Recommended This has been one of the most severe seasons for use of water by trees in the memory of the residents of Southern memory crop remained to be simpied, King stated. The total shipments from the state of valencias this year will amount to 90,000 cars, including the final clean-ups, which extended past the usual closing date of the season. Prices during the past week were good on the better sizes and grades although weaker on the smaller fruit. Shipments from Florida started strong last week with 400 cars and an estimate of 900 cars for this week. Approximately 150 cars of navels from northern California are expected this week. The annual campaign of Anaheim chapter, American Red Cross, for a membership roll for the coming year, is now on. Solicitors are at work enrolling all who care to join and collecting the membership fee of one dollar which goes into the relief fund to be used wherever a cry for help is heard. The amount Anaheim is expected to raise is $1200, and it is hoped that this will be accomplished before Thanksgiving. Headquarters have been established for the drive at the H.N. White hardware store. Of the money that is collected for membership fees here half of it remains with the local chapter and the other half goes to the national headquarters. The American Red Cross is the greatest charitable and relief organization on earth, and where relief or aid is needed it will be found feeding the hungry, relieving the distressed and ministering to the sick. The dollar you pay them for your membership card will assist in the work. Disaster relief work, service to disabled veterans and their families, public health work and its many other activities caused expenditures of $11,064,000 by the Red Cross for the year ending June 30, 1929, according to the annual report of the organization. An unusually large number of disasters in the United States and its insular possessions have required assistance from the Red Cross during the year just closed. The organization sent emergency relief workers to the scenes of 120 tornadoes, floods, fires and other types of catastrophies and epended $8,020,000 in relief and rehabilitation of the victims. Calls for aid came from eleven nations in which earthquake, floods and other problems caused distress to large populations, and the Red Cross sent $76,300 to help in relieving the suffering. The castastrophe causing the greatest loss of life and most widespread devastation was the West Indies hurricane of September, 1928, in which more than 2,000 lives were lost in Florida, Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. A relief fund of $5,883,725.62 was contributed by the public following a proclamation by the President of the United States, to which the Red Cross added $50,000 from its own treasury, and the society was enabled to give relief to more than 700,000 persons. In the early spring, river floods in the southeastern states cost a heavy loss to many persons, 76,000 inhabitants being affected in four states.

Location of the junior college will remain in the hands of the turateurs, who according to the law, it was stated Wednesday, must be unanimous in their decision, or submit the location to a vote of the people of the district. The state board of education has made a comprehensive survey under the direction of Dr. Walter C. Eells, of Leland Stanford university, for the location of a union junior college in Sonoma county that has attracted nationwide attention, and the persons attending the meeting expressed the opinion that such a survey in the formation of the college in the southern part of the county should be made. Anaheim Woman Hurt In El Paso Accident Mrs. F. H. Lowry of Anaheim, injured Sunday in an automobile accident near El Paso, Tex., was brought home from Los Angeles Wednesday morning in a J. E. Seale ambulance. Injured internally and cut about the legs in the accident, Mrs. Lowry was taken to Los Angeles from El Paso by train. With Mrs. Lowry in the automobile at the time of the accident were her husband and child and Mr. and Mrs. G. Hartung of Los Angeles and their child. All six were injured, although none so seriously as Mrs. Lowry. The men, it is expected, will return from El Paso in the automobile. The accident occurred when Mrs. Lowry, driving, was blinded by approaching lights and ran off the road into the ditch 10 miles out of El Paso on the way home from a visit. The raising of turkeys in New England is said to be flourishing again, but the broader problem is to raise the money to buy one. Walnut Irrigation Is Recommended This has been one of the most severe seasons for use of water by trees in the memory of the residents of Southern California. The Weather Bureau shows August to have been the hottest on record. Humidity was correspondingly low. As a result of these conditions, many groves are at the present time seriously deficient in soil moisture, according to observations made during the past week by the Farm Advisor staff. Unusual amounts of water were "pumped out" of the soil by the tree roots. This applies not only to walnuts but to deciduous fruit orchards and, in some cases, to citrus. For walnuts, an irrigation at this time of the year is particularly desirable in protection against winter injury. Walnut trees will die back if allowed to go into the winter having suffered from insufficient moisture in the fall: Deciduous fruit trees will be less seriously affected, yet will show a severe handicap in the setting and maturing of fruit the next summer if they are dry too long. Shortage of water with citrus causes leaf drop and affects the size of the fruit. These facts but emphasize the need for accurate knowledge on the part of the grower as to the moisture conditions in the lower depths of the soil. There is nothing which will give this information with more accuracy than a soil tube, a soil auger, or a good old shovel. Irrigation at this season is particularly important if a cover crop is to be planted. In such a case the cover crop will use moisture to the detriment of the trees. From 9 to 12 acre inches of water are used by the average cover crop in its growth. Therefore, plans should be made at this season to irrigate walnut groves deeply, and in case of cover crops, to repeat the irrigation when necessary throughout the winter season. Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. A relief fund of $5,883,725.62 was contributed by the public, following a proclamation by the President of the United States, to which the Red Cross added $50,000 from its own treasury, and the society was enabled to give relief to more than 700,000 persons. In the early spring, river floods in southeastern states cost a heavy loss to many persons, 76,000 inhabitants being affected in four states. The Red Cross assisted 4,383 families, approximately 28,000 per son, with food, clothing, temporary housing, feed for stock and seed for replanting. In all thirty-eight states were visited by calamities during the year, affecting 364 counties. Twenty-eight counties were devastated twice by storms, fires and floods. Red Cross expended $434,000 from its treasury in giving relief in these disasters, and at one time had as many as 120 disaster relief workers, nurses and other representatives in the field. Funds for this relief work are obtained in the annual roll call for members, which occurs from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day, November 11 to 28. Only once a year—during this period of Roll Coll—does the Red Cross ask public support to carry on its many activities. WOMAN'S TROJAN CLUB The first meeting of the Woman's Trojan club of Orange county was held Monday night at the home of Miss Beryl Kennedy in this city. Officers of the club was elected as follows: Miss Beryl Kennedy, Anaheim, President; Mrs. Fay Schultz, Anaheim, Vice President; Mrs. Louise Nash, Santa Ana, Secretary; Miss Elena Carmichael, Garden Grove, Treasurer.

By Dudley Moulton. (Written for the United Press.) Developments of citrus fruits in the South American countries is well worth the closest study of citrus growers of California. The original navel orange trees planted at Riverside, Cal., were brought from Bahia, Brazil, and this country is a natural place for extensive development of citrus fruits. Oranges are found in abundance everywhere and with bananas are the common cheap fruits. Coffee has been and is Brazil's greatest industry but over-production and manipulation of exports has caused great depression in the market and the accumulation of millions of bags in storage. Coffee planters are shifting rapidly to more diversified farming and many have turned to planting citrus trees. A government report just issued places the number of bering orange trees in Brazil at 7,830,000 with additional new plantings of 6,000,000 trees which will come into bearing within the next five years. The government nursery will supply 100,000 grapefruit trees annually for the next several years. We witnessed the unloading of a ship-load of oranges in the harbor of Buenos Aires. This was a small river steamer which had gathered the fruit somewhere up the Parana river. The oranges were loaded like so much coal. They were being cooled into large baskets, lifted and placed on o'ne heads of stevedores and carried ashore where they were dumped into great two-wheeled carts. In the markets they were unloaded and heaped in piles 6 to 7 feet deep, or placed in baskets, crates and used grain bags for distribution. The fruit was sunburned, russeted, scarred or infested with scale insects and offered for sale without grading or selection. They were mostly seedlings, but had many seeds and much center pulp. They were very juicy, but without the pungent orange flavor of our California fruits. We inspected two car lots of oranges at Rio de Janeiro which had been packed for export to Europe but instead were being shipped to Buenos Aires. The oranges had been in the hot cars for 24 hours. Some were riper and softer than others, and we found two were half rotten. The boxes and wrappers in the other shipment were wet as though drenched with water, and in ideal condition to develop blue mold or decay. Exports to Europe had stopped suddenly a month prior to our arrival in Rio. Losses of from 30 to 50 per cent from mold decay had been reported from London. Brazil has been exporting to Europe for only two or three years, and had hoped to send at least 600,000 boxes this year. Brazil can produce enough oranges to feed all Europe after they learn to grow, pack and ship their fruits successfully.

A steady increase in the resources of the Building and Loan associations in Orange county is indispensable evidence of the growth and prosperity of its cities. There are eight associations in the county and according to their official statements their resources increased during the year more than 22 percent. These eight associations increased their resources $2,725,173, to a new high total of $12,280,591, during the fiscal year, according to the annual report of the state commissioner to Gov. C. C. Young, released yesterday by the California Building-Loan league. Santa Ana with three associations led the assets of the county with resources of $4,607,964; Orange, with one association, had $2,725,295; Anaheim, two associations, $2,790,994, and Fullerton, two associations, $1,990,070. The number of investors in California building and loan associations now totals 437,548, compared with 323,160 a year ago. The total savings of this group amounts to $349,008,240, or an average investment of $797. Investment certificate ad membership shareholders in California associations last year received more than $8,000,000 as interest and dividends. During the last year 28 new associations were licensed by the commissioner, bringing the total in the state to 233 active associations. Through mergers, 11 associations retired. At the close of the fiscal year, these institutions had 118,622 loans in force, an increase of 26,576 over the preceding twelve months period. Loans averaged $2978, a slight increase over the $2900 average a year ago, according to the league. Loans in force now total $353,-298,708, an increase during the year of $86,313,475. Confidence in the stability of the building-loan business is expressed in the commissioner's annual report, which states: "While money has come into the associations very rapidly in the last year, it has been absorbed by the borrowers who apparently have become 'sold' on the long term installment plan of borrowing. The remarkable growth in assets was quite generally uniform, with all sections of the state participating." has an interesting group of figures which he calls "Hawaiiana brothers."

Works of Art on Display by Pupils Handiwork of School Children on Exhibition at Library Children's Book week is being observed at the public library this week with work of pupils of the grades on display in the children's department, which is under the supervision of Miss Elva Haskett. The library presents a colorful and attractive appearance with a collection of dolls dressed to represent fictional characters, occupying the ledges, and projects depicting scenes from juvenile books on the tables. The posters are especially attractive and follow the most modern trend in composition. Little Red Ridinghood is the most popular character as she is exhibited by no less than nine entrants in the contest for miniature book characters. She is represented by dolls ranging in age from a few inches to one doll nearly two feet tall. Cinderella is still a favorite and is a close second to Red Ridinghood in popularity. She is shown both before and after she was touched by the magic wand of the fairy godmother. One boy, Robert Quast, has on exhibition miniature figures of Captain Kidd and Robinson Crusoe and Friday. John has an interesting group of figures which he calls "Hawatha's brothers." Prizes are to be awarded tonight for the exhibits.
