Outsiders Seek District Split (Continued from page 1) of the county paved road system, property owners launched some of the first road improvement districts in the Anaheim area. Among the earliest was one for paving North street between Placentia avenue and Jefferson street. LeRoy Lyon, Schumacher's opponent in the coming November election, actively favored this project. Schumacher secured generous financial aid from the county for this road, which runs past Lyon's property. Today Lyon is seeking to gain votes by opposing the idea of assessment districts. These projects, however, are initiated by petitions from property owners, and not by the board of supervisors. County records show some interesting figures regarding this particular paving project. The total cost was $76,251. Schumacher secured county financial aid to the tune of $45,973, or more than one half the total outlay. This left but $30,278 to be paid by property owners in the district. The 10 year bonds have been paid and the cost of the work is wiped off the books. An attempt to win votes from Schumacher on the basis of this painless public improvement would seem doomed to be rather fruitless. "Goes to Bat" Agalu Schumacher has kept taxes down for other property owners who have launched similar projects. As an example there was the paving of the road between the Olive-Richfield bridge and the Placentia-Yorba boulevard. The bond issue was for $23,000. Schumacher "went to bat" and nearly matched this sum with county aid of $21,000. The road connects the Brea and Yorba districts with the Santa Ana canyon road. He obtained $16,000 in county money for the Placentia avenue paving project in 1923 (Road Improvement District No. 17), for which bonds for $63,000 were issued. In addition he has obtained $8,876.76 to augment the original assistance. This Is Farm Roost THE 20 BEDROOM "FARM-HOUSE" WHERE GOV.

Oh yes, "Farmer Frank" knows all about the farm problem! Above is an aerial view of the "farm," by which the Governor of New York qualifies himself as a "dig farmer". With an open-air swimming pool, a private golf course, boxwood hedges, a green house, a six-car garage, a "farm house" with twenty bedrooms and ten servants, the principal agricultural activities consist of a splendid kitchen garden to supply the "big house." The usual silo is conspicuous in its absence but ample there was the paving of the road between the Olive-Richfield bridge and the Placentia-Yorba boulevard. The bond issue was for $23,000. Schumacher "went to bat" and nearly matched this sum with county aid of $21,000. The road connects the Brea and Yorba districts with the Santa Ana canyon road. He obtained $16,000 in county money for the Placentia avenue paving project in 1923 (Road Improvement District No. 17), for which bonds for $63,000 were issued. In addition he has obtained $8,876.76 to augment the original assistance. For R. I. D. No. 23, a Placentia street project, Schumacher got $35,000 in county aid. Thus the cost to the taxpayers was reduced so that bonds of only $51,-000 were issued. While highway improvement was going on throughout the district, the problem of heavy commercial traffic on the county's roads was becoming serious. The extent of heavy trucking had not been foreseen when the original paved roads were projected, before Schumacher's first election, in 1912. He was among the first to protect his district's roads so they could withstand this strain. During his third term new surfacing was put on West Broadway, from the Anaheim city limits to Garden Grove road; one mile, on Garden Grove road; Grand avenue, from Buena Park to the Anaheim county road; Orangethorpe avenue, from the state highway to Olinda boulevard; one mile, between Brea and Olinda, and a mile from La Mirada, Central avenue, to the Standard Oil camp. Outside Control Threat In speaking of these and other accomplishments during Schumacher's third term, which began with the threat of third district mutilation the Anaheim Bulletin said, "He has succeeded in holding the district together by keeping in harmony with his associates and gaining their respect and confidence. We can safely say that the prosperity and growth of our own district has been in a large measure due to the energy of Schumacher in safeguarding its interests as a member of the board of supervisors." The threat of outside control had been thrown back. When this menace returned again, the voters kept Schumacher at the helm. In another form, the same issue confronts the people today. And the man who has proved his ability to withstand the assault is a candidate for re-election. Anaheim 52nd In Per Capita Bonds $59.97 Outstanding Bonds Per Person Here: Total in 1931 Crowded Walnut Trees Are Costly Expert Points Out Sunlight Needed for Healthy Tree Growth, Good Nuts "Many instances of loss of production and quality, because walnut trees are too crowded, have come to our attention during the past harvesting season. The damage was not confined to old orchards, but was found in orchards of young budded trees, originally planted 30 feet apart, and not thinned when they began to interlock." These statements were made by M. H. Kimball, assistant county farm advisor in Los Angeles county. "The dense shade in such crowded orchards," said Kimball, "both old and young, combined with high humidity experienced last season, greatly increased the percentage of mouldy walnuts in addition to reducing the yield." Sunlight Needed Kimball points out that the detrimental affect on trees and walnuts is largely lack of sunlight. When trees become crowded, he says, the shade is dense and normal functioning of green leaves on all parts of the tree is made impossible. "There must be active green leaves," he says, "before there can be wood growth, and there must be tree vigor before there can be fruit bud formation. There must be an excess of plant food manufactured by the leaves for the proper development of fruit." Results Follow Thinning According to Kimball, under crowded conditions, low lateral branches are weakened and gradually die, leaving the top as the only active part of the tree. In this case, most of the walnuts are borne in tree tops, where they are hardest to pick, and where there is danger of their being left in the tree too long. Likewise, he says, shading of the ground prevents the nuts from drying out and encourages mould. "Now is the time," advises Kimball, "to examine the orchard and start the tree removal program which will permit normal development of all parts of..." Anaheim 52nd In Per Capita Bonds $59.97 Outstanding Bonds Per Person Here; Total in 1931 Is $659,375 The city of Anaheim ranked 52nd from the highest in per capita bonds outstanding at June 30, 1931, according to a study of the bonded indebtedness of 277 cities of California, recently completed by California Taxpayers' association. Per capita bonded indebtedness of the city was $59.97 total bonds outstanding at the end of the fiscal year 1931 being $659,375. Interest payments on bonds and debt of the city amounted to $37,363, for 1931, while payments for redemption of bonds and debt amounted to $27,963, total debt service in the city being, $65,326. The ten California cities having the highest bonded debt per capita at the date studied, ranked from the highest, were Vernon, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills, Avalon, Arcadia, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Rialto, Huntington Beach and Seal Beach. Twenty California cities had no bonded debt at June 30, 1931. They were Alviso, Amador, Bell, Belmont, Blue Lake, Crescent City, Emeryville, Fort Jones, Gardena, Hercules, Indio, Jackson, Lawndale, Loyalton, Maricopa, Maywood, Menlo Park, Parlier, Patterson, Placentia, Plymouth, Point Arena, Riverbank, Rocklin, San Clemente, Soledad, Sutter Creek, Tehachapi, West Covina and Willow Glenn. During November St. Mary's College of California and Oregon State College will journey across the continent to meet Fordham on the gridiron in New York City. There was a time when college football teams rarely left their own state to play a game. Record to Kimball under crowded conditions. low lateral branches are weakened and gradually die, leaving the top as the only active part of the tree. In this case, most of the walnuts are borne in tree tops, where they are hardest to pick, and where there is danger of their being left in the tree too long. Likewise, he says, shading of the ground prevents the nuts from drying out and encourages mould. "Now is the time," advises Kimball, "to examine the orchard and start the tree removal program which will permit normal development of all parts of the tree. Thinning is most commonly accomplished in budded orchards by removing every other diagonal row. Excellent results have been obtained by growers who have thinned their orchards. Any groves in which the trees are interlocked should be given immediate attention." Trojans Battle Indians Saturday S. C. Faces Herculean Task Against Pop Warner’s Powerful Squad Faced with one of the toughest assignments ever given a Trojan team, the University of Southern California football squad left Thursday night for San Jose and the Castlewood Country club where it will rest up Friday preparatory to taking on the powerful Stanford team Saturday in the Indians' stadium. With a Trojan record of not having suffered a defeat by Stanford since 1926 to live up to, the present Southern California team takes on a Herculean task as its record so far this season indicates that it is far shy of the offensive power possessed by recent S. C. teams. Handicapped by having his squad broken up during most of the past month by sickness and injury, Coach Howard Jones has had most of his missing men back in practice this week and has worked at top speed to try to help them make up for the time they have lost in workouts.

The estate, at Hyde Park-On-The-Hudson, belongs to Mr. Roosevelt's mother, but it is the one on which he was born; on which he has "lived fifty years," and now "operates at a loss." A war on ruinous prices for dairy products is being waged by the embattled farmers of New York State, but Mr. Roosevelt has exhibited a marked apathy toward their problems and to date has made no move of any kind to assist them. Federal Land Bank Fair In Dealing A stirring denial of any urdue for closures by the federal land bank was issued by Willard A. Ellis, president of the Federal Land Bank in Berkeley. Ellis' statement contained in a letter to Mark L. Requa, republican national committeeman, was to the effect that the foreclosure cry has been overdrawn by those "local creditors who are not willing to be fair with the farmer or the federal land bank in handling the farm returns." "As to foreclosures," Ellis wrote, "The Federal land bank of Berkeley during its 15 years of operation made $77,502,600 out of the 19,820 loans made the bank has during its life acquired 782 properties with an uppaid principal of $3,160,000."

Yorba Linda House Mails Out $22,000 Yorba Linda Citrus association in the last ten days has mailed out $22,000 in checks as partial payment on both lemons and oranges shipped in the second picking. The $10,000 orange picking was sent out late last week, and the previously $12,000 was mailed out for lemon growers, Manager P. W. Damon stated. Hallowe’en Dance Makes Guests Guess Mrs. Ben Hein, Miss Lillian Lund and Mrs. Marie Edwards won awards for the best costumes at the Hallowe’en dance given Friday evening at the new A & B shop on East Center street. Three dozen guests, wearing costumes and masks, enjoyed jack o'lanterns, ghosts and a full moon. Guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Alhstrom and Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Lowry attempted to guess the identity of their dancing partners but not until masks were removed were guests made known to each other. “Pan-handlers” Will Be Guests of City "Pan-handlers" will be placed in the jail as overnight guests of the city, and will be urged to "move on" the next morning. Police Chief James S. Bouldin announced this week. Begging from merchants, residents or pedestrians will not be tolerated, the chief announced. Newspaper Ads, Besides Proving Boom To Business, Aid In Catching Thieves A clever ruse whereby a state traffic officer made use of newspaper ads to catch an automobile thief he had been tracking for weeks was made public by the department of motor vehicles. The capture made in Los Angeles by Traffic Officer H. B. Johnson, resulted in the conviction of the violator, Carl Hendry alias E. E. Jones, and a sentence of 20 years in San Quentin prison. The theft of 21 cars was traced to Hendry by the officer. The report filed by Officer Johnson shows Hendry used an unique method to locate his victims. He first would secure a 1920 or 1921 Ford and obtain the certificates of ownership and registration. Then through newspaper ads he would get in touch with the owner of a 1930 or 1931 Ford, steal his car and change its engine number and the numbers on the certificates on the old car. He would then, to all outward appearances, have legal ownership to the stolen car and would sell it. Determining that the man was working through newspaper ads, Johnson gave him a dose of his own medicine by inserting an ad in which a relative of the officer was represented as being in the market for a 1931 Ford. The thief was nabbed when he came to the home of the relative to negotiate with his "prospect." Commenting on the case, Registrar Russell Bevans declared it proved beyond a doubt the effectiveness of newspaper advertising.

Center St., Phone 3111 The testimonial of a man who knows It expresses the views of former President Calvin Coolidge on the issues of the Presidential Campaign. Mr. Coolidge says: Before we decide that we want a change we ought to determine what the chances are of securing any improvement. We are told that we ought to have a competitive tariff. Our producers are not suffering from any lack of competition. Is it proposed to put our wage earners in competition with those of India, China and Japan? But we are told again that by reducing our tariff we can increase our foreign commerce. Every foreign nation wants our tariff reduced. No foreign nation wants to increase our commerce. An independent nation ought to keep within its own control the authority to determine its own revenues and regulate its own commerce. No government has ever vet been devised that could make the people prosperous all the time. But a bad government will constantly keep the people in distress. The assurance that the pending Democratic raids on the Treasury will be defeated by Republican victory in November would no doubt have the same effect in reviving all kinds of business as the defeat of the Democratic greenback craze and the free silver issue. The more this campaign has progressed the more I am convinced that the public welfare requires that he (Hoover) should be re-elected. I reiterate my support of the President and reassert my faith in the Republican party, the most efficient instrument for sound popular government ever intrusted with the guidance of a great nation. We have tens of millions of wage earners in this country. The Republican party has never believed that they could be furnished with suitable permanent employment unless some one could derive a reasonable profit from employing them. We have advocated strengthening the position of the employer.
