Birth Month of John Paul Jones Hero of First American Navy Made Brilliant Record as a Fighter (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—In the little parish of Kirkbean in Scotland one of America's greatest heroes was born in July, 1747. His family name was Paul and he was christened John. Later in life he was to add Jones to his name and become famous as a commander in the Continental navy whose brilliant achievements on the sea rivalled those of George Washington on the land. A Boy Went to Sea The 184th anniversary of John Paul Jones' birthday is marked as a date of significance to all Americans by the George Washington Bicentennial Commission. Every citizen of the United States has reason to be grateful for the services of the first great American sea fighter. Young John Paul went to sea when he was but 12 years old, and at the age of 21 he was captain of a trader. In 1773 he came to America and settled on his brother's plantation in Virginia which he had inherited upon the death of the latter. It was here that he first used the name Jones. Holsted First Naval Flag When the break between England and her colonies widened into actual warfare, Jones applied to Congress for a naval commission which was granted in December, 1775. That month, as a lieutenant in the new Continental navy, he is said to have hoisted with his own hands the first naval flag of an American squadron. This was the well known yellow silk banner with the rattlesnake and the warning "Don't tread on me!" The young officer soon was given an independent commission in command of California Legion at Long Beach, Aug. 11 In preparation for the state convention of the American Legion, which will be held at Long Beach beginning August 31, the executive committee of the organization will meet in Watsonville July 11 and 12, according to an announcement by B. W. Gearhart, state commander. As the membership of the Legion in California has already reached the 60,000 mark it is expected that the Long Beach convention will be the largest ever to be held by the state organization. The third annual "world's largest" outdoor card party and dance will be held on the streets of Ripon, Saturday evening, July 18. The event is sponsored by the American Legion and is endorsed by all civic organizations in the community. Arrangements are being made for 3,000 whist players. The street in which the play will be held will be thoroughly washed by the Legionnaires on the morning of the event and roped off. Special lights will be strung overhead and the buildings alongside gaily decorated. The Legion will be assisted in the arrangements for the affair by the Chamber of Commerce, the fire department, the Luncheon Club and I. O. O. F. A large delegation from Southern California is going on a special train. Christian Science Lesson-Sermon Communion services will be conducted Sunday, in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The subject of the Lesson-Sermon is "Sacrament." One of the Scriptural selections relates to Jesus' appearing to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias after the crucifixion: "Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes...

That month, as a lieutenant in the new Continental navy, he is said to have hoisted with his own hands the first naval flag of an American squadron. This was the well known yellow silk banner with the rattlesnake and the warning "Don't tread on me!" The young officer soon was given an independent commission in command of the little ship "Providence." With a crew of but seventy men and a dozen four-pound guns, Jones became a terror to British shipping, destroying a million dollars' worth of enemy property. Later, in the "Alfred," he continued his work, capturing valuable munitions intended for Burgoyne. Captain of "Ranger" He was commissioned captain October 10, 1776, and June 14, 1776 was ordered to the "Ranger." On this ship, on July 4, he raised the first Stars and Stripes that ever flew from an American warship. In the "Ranger" he carried to France the news of Burgoyne's surrender and received the first salute ever given the United States flag by a foreign fleet. From France Jones sailed to the north coast of England where he landed guns, burned some shipping and thoroughly alarmed the country. This was the only invasion of British territory by an American force during the Revolutionary War. His Most Famous Battle The most famous battle in which he was engaged was that which took place September 23, 1779, with the British man of war "Serapis" off Flamborough Head. At that time Jones was in command of an ancient ship which he had refitted in France and named "Bon Homme Richard" in honor of Benjamin Franklin. Despite the great odds against him the intrepid American unhesitatingly engaged the far superior enemy in a battle which has gone down in history as one of the greatest sea fights of all time. The rotten sides of the American ship were almost completely shot away when the English commander called on Jones to surrender. In reply he received the tense statement, "I have not begun to fight." Utterly dismayed at such courage, the Englishman struck his colors. Jones transferred his crew to the "Serapis" and the "Bon Homme Richard," completely shattered, sank to her glorious grave. Dead Hero Comes Home After the Revolution John Paul Jones entered the service of Catherine of Russia where he again revealed his remarkable courage and ability as a sea fighter. Being the victim of intrigues by jealous Russian officers, Jones left that country and went to France where Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The subject of the Lesson-Sermon is "Sacrament."

They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes... Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And more. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord." A correlative citation from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "What a contrast between our Lord's last supper and his last spiritual breakfast with his disciples in the bright morning hours at the joyful meeting on the shore of the Galilean Sea!" "This spiritual meeting with our Lord in the dawn of a new light is the morning meal with which Christian Scientists commemorate." Brown Gummosis On Citrus Trees Brown rot gummosis on lemon and orange trees is one of the most severe diseases in the citrus orchard, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. This disease is characterized by a copious gumming at or near the base of the trunk. It travels very swiftly around the trunk after the infection has taken place, and if not treated soon may cause partial or entire girdling in a short period of time. Brown rot gummosis differs from scaly bark in that the latter disease travels very slowly. Citrus growers are advised to inspect their trees for this disease, and treat as soon as possible. The bark should be entirely removed from the affected area since where the infection is located the bark is entirely dead from the outer surface to the wood. In order to prevent the advance of the disease in good bark, some of the healthy bark should be removed surrounding this affected area. It is advisable to remove healthy bark two inches above, two inches below, and half an inch on either side of the diseased area. After the bark is removed a disinfectant should be used. A good, cheap disinfectant is one teaspoonful of permanganate of potash to a pint of water, which should be painted on with a brush. After the exposed wood is thoroughly dry, it should be covered with a protective paint or pruning compound. White lead mixed with oil makes a very good covering.

Being the victim of intrigues by jealous Russian officers, Jones left that country and went to France where he died July 18, 1792. In 1905 his body was located and identified by the American ambassador to France. It was brought to this country and interred with full honors at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.

California Up To U.S. Dairy Goal Adding in one year approximately $26,000,000 to the revenue of the dairy farmers of the state, the butterfat production goal set by the University of California Agricultural Extension Service has been reached. In making this announcement, Director B. H. Crocheron points out that the average butterfat production has been raised in eight years from 182.1 pounds per year, to 265.6 pounds. This represents an increase of 47.758,576 pounds of butterfat over the amount the same cows would have given had their production been that of 1920. At 54.4 cents per pound this increase brought $25,980,665 in the year 1930. At 5 percent, this interest on more than half a billion dollars, he points out; the productive capital of the state has been raised by that amount. In 1922 Prof. Crocheron noticed that the dairy cows of California, 502,414 in number, averaged but 182 pounds of butterfat for the year 1920. In Humboldt county the poorer half of the cows in a testing association averaged 265 pounds. He chose that figure as a goal, and the statistics just released by Dr. M. E. McDonald, chief of the Bureau of Dairy Control, show that in 1930 the 571,959 dairy cows in the state produced 151,939,520 pounds of butterfat, a higher average than the 265 pound goal that had been set. The program for the improvement, carried out by G. E. Cordon, extension dairy specialist, contained five points: More and better cow testing associations, wider use of good purebred dairy bulls, better feeding practices, better care of dairy cattle, and more control and eradication of cattle diseases. Cows under test grew in number un- Mary Marshall’s Very Latest While our dresses and blouses are cut with a comfortable neck, there are all sorts of scarfs and accessory collars that may be added to cover the neck when we wish, and many women feel better dressed for the street; and actually look so, when some sort of scarf collar or cravat is added to the dress or suit. Today's sketch shows one of the new taffeta bow scarfs. You may buy one ready made or make one at home. The scarf should be about twelve inches wide and long enough to pass once around the neck and tie in a bow of the size you find most becoming. Y. L. I. Installs Its New Officers One of the most important events on the year’s calendar of the Anaheim Young Ladies’ Institute was the installation of officers for the coming year, Tuesday evening, which was attended by Miss Katherine Kelley, grand president, of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Mate Le Vecke, district deputy, of Anaheim. Deputy Isabelle Schneiders, of Los Angeles, was in charge of seating the incoming officers, and was assisted by Esther Schneider, marshall, and the Los Angeles Institute drill team. Miss Olga Peltzer is the new president. The installation was followed by a banquet, served in St. Boniface hall, the long tables being beautifully decorated with flowers and candelabra, tied with pink and yellow tulle. SPAWNING OF TROUT How many eggs will a trout spawn during its life cycle? This question has been a perpetual source of argument among anglers and it probably will always be a topic of campfire discussion. To begin with, trout regeneration is regulated by many complex factors according to W. H. Shebley, chief of the California bureau of fish culture. He has spent many years in fish culture work and has made a deep study of the subject. Among the factors regulating the spawning activities of trout are the species of fish in question; climatic conditions, stream temperatures, food supplies, stream conditions, seasonal variations, health conditions and many other reasons, the fish culturist said. In speaking of any particular variety the hearty rainbow trout can be taken for an example. This species is very sturdy and also very popular among sportsmen. Under ordinary conditions the rainbow trout will mature in from three to four years. Its life cycle is generally completed in about ten years. Shebley reports. The first spawning, say at four years of age, will bring forth about 600 eggs. As the trout grows larger and more mature the number of eggs Frills, frills and still more frills. There seems to be no end to their variety. You can buy frilling by the yard to use to trim your new dresses and blouses or you can make frilling yourself at small expense. On the blouse shown in today's sketch a simple and effective sort of gathered frilling is used that you should know more about. To make it you will need strips of material six inches wide. Figure how much frilling you need and then add half the amount to tell how long your strip should be. That is if you need twenty inches of finished frilling you should have thirty inches of the six-inch strips. Lay the strip of material before you and measure the sides off in two-inch spaces. Then make lengthwise bastings two inches from each edge. These bastings will be two inches apart. Now mark off a scroll between these two bastings so that each scallop is two inches wide. Mark this scroll lightly with crayon and have the material machine hemstitched along this line. When the work is done cut carefully along this line so that you will have two strips with scalloped edges. By this arrangement there is no waste of material and you have two strips of material from the six-inch wide strip with which you started. Now make two or three rows of shirring an eighth of an inch apart along the straight line of the strips. If you are going to use the frilling for accessory collars and cuffs mount this shirred edge in a narrow band of cotton material and stitch down. Shirred frilling of this sort has a decided advantage over pleated frilling since its appearance is not changed by washing and ironing. til in 1926 there were 50,000, in 1928, 75,000 and 1930 almost 100,000. Cows were discarded by the thousands when testing showed them unprofitable; 15,000 were culled out last year. When the campaign was started in 1922, says Professor Crocheron, most people thought the goal merely a distant star at which to shoot. However, as farm advisors and their assistants went to work, dairy departments were organized in farm bureaus, cow testing organizations started, and testers employed, interest grew by leaps and bounds, and it soon became evident there was a possibility of attaining the desired objective. That there might be no argument, the figures used at the start and those at the finish were taken from the census reports. "Of course," says Prof. Crocheron, "it just happens that the produc- of a pound per year, over a 20-year period. Prof. Crocheron says the program will apply to any field of agriculture, and gives the recelpe for accomplishing it: Study the industry; find a simple and feasible program for its improvement. Set a goal within the bounds of reasonable possibility. Employ a sufficient number of competent men so that they can reach individual farmers on their farm homes in personal contact. Pay them a living wage and keep them at work. Stick to the program and methods through thick and thin.

That there might be no argument, the figures used at the start and those at the finish were taken from the census reports. "Of course," says Prof. Crocheron, "it just happens that the production is exactly at the figure set, but it didn't just happen that this great increase in production was made. It was planned and executed. Before this campaign, production per cow had increased at the rate of but six-tenths."

It is figured that the rainbow trout has a spawning life of about six years and that she will deliver about 10,000 eggs in that time, he declares. Some fish may grow to an older age and produce more eggs and some fish may die earlier. It is an extremely complex problem, and one that is constantly being studied at the various state hatcheries.
