J. Mount. In his official statement, President Mount emphasized the fact that the new set-up makes branches throughout the state virtually autonomous, giving to branch managers, familiar with local conditions, a wider discretion in dealing with the special needs of their respective communities. The executive vice-presidents, Mount said, have been carefully chosen on the basis of their general banking experience and their familiarity with affairs of the districts which they will administer. The three districts in southern California and the executive vice-presidents in charge are as follows: Herman Erkes for the Los Angeles metropolitan district, which includes all branches in the city of Los Angeles. Howard Whipple for south coast district, including all branches in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Orange and Los Angeles, exclusive of the city of Los Angeles. Asa Dimon for southern district, including all branches in Mono, Inyo, Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial counties. Grape Juice Begins Its Flow to East California grape juice is now flowing out of the state to consumers in the East, much of the distribution being done in New York city and surrounding territory. The Pennsylvania railroad has again begun operating its special train for carrying the product, this service having been started several years ago and is revived as the flow of the juice from California begins. When the Pennsylvania carries the cargos of grape juice to the passenger terminal in Jersey City, the shipments are taken to the produce yards on the railroad at South Kearny, N. J. Last year 11,856 carloads of California juice grapes were handled at this yard, and 10,293 carloads in 1929. There are track delivery facilities for approximately 500 refrigerator and other freight cars at one time.

He characteristically deposited a substantial sum of money in an Amsterdam bank, for the use of Lafayette’s impoverished wife. Not content with that, he kept Lafayette’s son for a considerable time at Mount Vernon. As Lafayette, after his release, exchanged letters with his old chief, Washington must certainly have learned of this attempt at the release of his friend, and so may have silently thanked the old Austrian commandant for his lenency toward the reckless young Huger. ‘Adobe Days’ Recalls History of Anaheim Memory Joggers in New Edition of Sarah Bixby Smith's Book In a new, handsomely arrayed edition of her “Adope Days,” Sarah Bixby Smith, representative of one of the old families of Southern California, looks back to the years of her girlhood and what she recalls of herself ought to serve as memory joggers for all old-timers of this region. Girlhood on Sheep Ranch Mrs. Smith tells of how her family came from Maine to California in the early fifties, some in covered wagons, some across the Isthmus of Panama, some around the Horn. She spent her girlhood on a large sheep ranch which now is the site of Long Beach, and in the village of Los Angeles. Part of her schooling was at Pomona college, then in its beginning. Church, school, markets, home life, sports and social diversions of the long ago are colorfully portrayed. Writing of Anaheim, she says that the founding of this city, San Bernardino and El Monte was followed by an impulse for starting communities, especially in the seventies, and the boom years of the eighties. Lafayette’s Birthday Was on Last Sunday Experiences While in Austrian Military Prison Recalled on 174th Anniversary (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—On last Sunday, patriotic Americans now planning for the celebration next year of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington, gave thought to another historic figure intimately associated with George Washington in the struggle for Independence. The sixth of September marked the 174th anniversary of the birth of Lafayette, to whom all Americans are in debt for his ardent support of the cause of Liberty. The personal friendship of these two men, so less than their military association, forms one of the finest pages in the story of America. Lafayette’s Last Visit In 1824, when Lafayette paid his last visit to the United States, he received at the hands of our people a reception that became one of the triumphs of history. Wherever he traveled over the country he was given untoultuous testimony of the affection and gratitude in which he was held. Since then, whilst his name is as familiar to every American schoolboy as that of any native-born patriot of the Revolution, the facts of his life have been more or less forgotten. One colorful episode of his vivid career is not often remembered, and as the event occurred during Washington’s lifetime and has to do with his undying interest in Lafayette’s fortunes, it should be recalled to popular attention. A Prisoner in Austria Lafayette, as a result of his activities during the French Revolution, which broke forth soon after the establishment of the United States government, was for some years imprisoned in an Austrian military stronghold. President Washington did everything that he could, within the limits of diplomatic usage, to obtain the release of his friend and former military subordinate, but his efforts were unavailing. But since Lafayette was liberated in 1797 and lived to exchange letters with Washington, it is probable that his old Commander-in-Chief knew of the daring attempt of a young American officer to set Lafayette free. When Lafayette and Baron de Kalb came to America to aid in the war for Independence, they landed at Wawaw Bay, near Charleston, S. C. There they were entertained by the family of a patrol, Major Huger. The son of this two young men proceeded to Olmutz, where Lafayette was detained, and sent to a campaign to cultivate that good will of Lafayette’s personal master. When this worthy suspect had been allayed, the two fellow convictes through him to furnish Lafayette with books to while away with tedium. This practice has taken on for some time without any insignments in the jailer’s mind, Huger and Bolman slipped through carefully annotated on the margins. These notations constituted a cipher message, and Lafayette was quick to detect that this particular volume contained more than met the eye. Cipher In a Book When he returned the book, it was with a note which said that he had read it “with marked attention” and was “charmed with its contents.” The cipher, of course, laid out the plan for his escape. The prison authorities were accustomed to permit Lafayette a certain amount of air and exercise outside the castle usually in the form of a drive in a cabriolet, with a mounted guard on the rear and an armed soldier beside the driver. At times this drive continued to some distance from the castle, and Lafayette was even allowed to walk about with his guard. On the day planned for the escaping, Lafayette was instructed to gain a great distance as possible from the gate while Huger and Bolman rode them Olmutz with a third horse for Lafayette’s use. This was accomplished and at a signal the guard was overpowered, but just as Lafayette was about to mount the horse brought for him, the animal shiled and ran away. Huger promptly insisted that Lafayette gallop away on the horse he himself had ridden, and although the alarm had been given, Lafayette succeeded in putting ten miles between himself and his pursuers and was well on his way to freedom. Galloped Into Danger Unfortunately he had not been made familiar with the country about Olmutz and, at a fork in the road, he took the wrong course and galloped straight into danger. Stopping toquire his way, he was at once suspected as an escaping prisoner and turned over to a magistrate, who soon learned who he was. The end of the affair, so far as concerned Lafayette, was his return to the castle and to more years of imprisonment before his final liberation. The young American, Huger, a mere boy in his twenties, was soon enough taken and brought in chains before the authorities in Olmutz, who informed him that he stood to pay with his life as the penalty of his escapade. In vain influential friends intervened to soften his fate, and for some time his case looked black. Count Had Soft Heart In the two fall it fell to the military comma here across the Institute of Palmama some around the Horn. She spent her girlhood on a large sheep ranch which now is the site of Long Beach, and in the village of Los Angeles. Part of her schooling was at Pomona college, then in its beginning. Church, school, markets, home life, sports and social diversions of the long ago are colorfully portrayed. Writing of Anaheim, she says that the founding of this city, San Bernardino and El Monte was followed by an impulse for starting communities, especially in the seventies, and the boom years of the eighties. Beginnings of Anaheim "Anaheim was projected by a group of San Francisco Germans," she says, "who went about its making in a characteristically methodical and thrifty way. So far as I can discover it never went through the agonies of hope and despair that so often marked the course of Utopian schemes for co-operative settlement." "The method adopted for its beginning was to purchase upward of 1100 acres; send an agent ahead who attended to the clearing off of the sage and cactus; the division of the land into 20-acre portions; ten acres each being set out to vine; and to laying out lots in the center for the necessary shops, school, postoffice, etc. When all was ready the colonies came in a body finding everything prepared for them. Start Irrigalion System "One of the first things that had been done was the development of an intricate irrigation system, tapping the Santa Ana river for water. This made an anasis of the colony during the terrible droughts that came a few years later. The edges of the zanias had been planted with willows and cottonwoods and all about the settlement was a palsiede of willow stakes which, set in the damp soil, speedily sprouted and formed a leafy barrier to the thousands of desperate, starving cattle which but for this defense, would have overrun the one green spot in all the country around." "The people at Anaheim were able almost at once to ship grapes to the San Francisco market and also were soon making a very good wine for similar export. They made use of a small neighboring harbor which soon became known as Anaheim Landing. Recently my Aunt Margaret told me that the first wool that they sent to San Francisco from Rancho Cerritos went from this place. Madam Modjeska's Colony "In 1876 a group of idealistic Polish gentlefolk under the leadership of Madam Helen Modjeska and her husband Count Bozenta, and including Henry Slenkowicz, came to Anaheim and started a small colony in a neighboring canon. Like many another dream it did not meet the hopes of its dreamers. It was then that Madam Modjeska set about learning English and returned to the stage, winning great usage, to obtain the release of his friend and former military subordinate, but his efforts were unavailing. But since Lafayette was liberated in 1797 and lived to exchange letters with Washington, it is probable that his old Commander-in-Chief knew of the daring attempt of a young American officer to set Lafayette free. When Lafayette and Baron de Kalb came to America to aid in the war for Independence, they landed at Winyaw Bay, near Charleston, S.C. There they were entertained by the family of a patrol, Major Huger. The son of this soldier, who afterwards became Colonel Francis Kinloch Huger, conceived for Lafayette one of those hero-worshiping affections which only a boy can know. A Plan for Deliverance Years later, long after America's successful war for freedom, and while Lafayette was still imprisoned in Austria, this Colonel Huger was in Europe engaged in study. There he fell in with a young German, a Dr. Bolman, another champion of liberty, who proposed to Huger an ambitious plan for Lafayette's deliverance. The end of the affair, so far as concerned Lafayette, was his return to the castle and to more years of imprisonment before his final liberation. The young American, Huger, a mere boy in his twenties, was soon enough taken and brought in chains before the authorities in Olmutz, who informed him that he stood to pay with his life as the penalty of his escape. In vain influential friends intervened to soften his fate, and for some time his case looked black. Count Had Soft Heart In the end it fell to the military commandant to deal with him, and this individual, Count Archo, turned out to have a soft heart. Huger was at length let off on the lenient condition that he instantly leave the country, never to return. If the Revolutionary historian Alexander Garden, is a reliable authority, young Huger must have impressed the Austrian military veteran, for the old soldier, commenting on the younger man's reckless devotion to Lafayette, is reported to have said, "If ever I need a friend, I wish that friend to be an American." Police Dog Mothers Three Rabbits D. E. Parks, of St. Louis, is the owner of a police dog which has the mother instinct highly developed. Recently it adopted three orphaned rabbits, and then added seven setter pups whose mother had died. Madam Modjeska's Colony "In 1876 a group of idealistic Polish gentlefolk under the leadership of Madam Helen Modjeska and her husband, Count Bozena, and including Henry Slenkiewicz, came to Anaheim and started a small colony in a neighboring canon. Like many another dream it did not meet the hopes of its dreamers. It was then that Madam Modjeska set about learning English and returned to the stage, winning great honor and success in her adopted country. After about two years, Mr. Sienkiewicz returned to Poland, wrote Quo Vallis' and the succession of novels which have given him a world-wide fame. "The success of Anaheim led to the founding in following years of other colonies and towns. Westminster, Santa Ana, Tustin, were small centers to which I occasionally had the privilege of driving with my elders. And I should not forget Gospel Swamp—home of camp meetings, whose choice name may have contributed to its early demise." School Children Guests of Theater Public school children of Anaheim will on Saturday morning be guests of the Fox Anaheim theater. Manager Harry C. Arthur, Sr., announces, on a program sponsored by the Parent-Teachers' association. The program is to start at 10:30 a.m., and the theater will be open half an hour earlier. Jacob L. E. Miller and Superintendent of Schools M. A. Gauer will be the principal speakers. The Kiwanis Glee Club will furnish music. "Our purpose on this program is to send the huddles back to school with new and fresh thoughts for the new school year." Manager Arthur stated when asked: "We want all the children attend the program—and come early, so that they will not miss any of it." Now they are having rebellion in Cuba; judging from moving pictures we have seen of life in Havana, this can't be blamed on to the Volunteers."
