He is also the third President whose surname is the same as that of one of his predecessors. We have had two President Adams, two Presidents Harrison, and now two Presidents Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt is the third President of Dutch descent, Martin Van Buren and Theodore Roosevelt being the other two. He is likewise the third President elected in his fifty-first year. If there is luck in odd numbers President Roosevelt ought to have plenty of it. MASONS as Presidents President Franklin Roosevelt is the thirteenth member of the Masonic Order to be President of the United States. I have often heard some of my Masonic brethren say that every President has been a Mason, but that is not true. Washington was Master of his Lodge. Monroe, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Johnson, Garfield, McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Harding were Masons. There is no Masonic record to prove that Jefferson was a member of the Order, but there is accepted Masonically as indicating that he was. Mr. Taft was not a Mason before he was elected, but the Grand Lodge of Ohio made him a "Mason at sight," between his election and his inauguration. President Roosevelt was recently initiated into one of the Masonic societies, the Tall Codars of Lebanon. RELIGIONS of Presidents President Roosevelt will be the ninth member of the Protestant Episcopal Upland Planting Brings Results Quail, Pheasants, Turkeys, and Partridges Turned Loose In Sanctuaries In their program to provide hunters with upland birds throughout California, the state fish and game commission reviews the past year with considerable satisfaction. The planting of mountain and valley quail, pheasants, wild turkeys, partridges and other such game birds has been heavier than any year since the state game farms were established. Careful study was made of suitable places where state-raised birds might be released, and where it was assured they would thrive. Refuges and sanctuaries have been secured, properly posted and every protection thrown around them to allow the game birds turned loose on them to increase. Where water was scarce drinking places were provided. The food problem has been met and every precaution taken to keep predatory birds and animals from killing the game. Heavy planting of pheasants has been made in areas from the Tehachapi to the Oregon line. Thousands of these birds have been released where experience has proven they will increase in wild country. In Kern county nearly 900 pheasants were liberated from June to October, while over 200 quail were turned loose. Other San Joaquin valley sections were given hundreds of birds from the farms at Yountville and Chino. Some 2000 pheasants have been released in the Sacramento valley areas around Sacramento, Marysville, Oroville, Woodland and Chico receiving many of this large number. Over 3000 ring-necks have been put in the fields and mountains around Scott Bar, Arcata, Willows, Redding Alturas, Winters, Red Bluff, Garberville, Willits, Ukiah and Ferndale. A thousand or more birds have been sent from the game farms for distribution. Run County Fair Club members of Eaton county, Michigan, managed the county fair for the second year and made a fine go of it without a dollar donated. They did it mainly by furnishing their own amusements and inducing exhibitors to show for ribbons only. A lot of people would not believe it could be done, but when the gate receipts were counted the 4-H boys and girls were actually ahead. Everyone was invited to take part in the show. Purebreed breeders were provided with classes and enough entered to make a nice showing. Smith-Hughes students were eligible to show in the open classes. There were over 60 animals shown in these classes. Club members had classes of their own, and brought out 138 cattle, 103 sheep and lots of swine and poultry. There were 70 horses, colts and ponies exhibited. The sheep show was one of the leading attractions. Good displays of canned products, sewing, garden stuff, handicraft and so on were made. The second day the grandstand was filled to overflowing for the stunts. A big one was a horse pulling contest, as it had been the year before. A stone boat was used and bags of sand weighing 100 pounds were used as the load. Teams were required to pull the load a given distance, sacks being piled on until they failed. Among the stunts were farmer's horse races, pony races, potato and running races, milking contests, a water fight, chicken flying, and so on. The livestock parade was a climax and made a fine demonstration of the extent and value of 4-H club work in the county. Secretary instructed to advertise the election of a zanjero at the next general meeting. Water sales $91.00 reported. Bill for labor $16.00 allowed. Meeting adjourned. August Schenk, Secretary. Anaheim, August 11, 1865. Regular general stockholders meeting called to order by President Zeyn. Minutes of June 9th read and approved. Reports of treasurer and secretary read and submitted for auditing to Messrs. Werder and Hahn. A committee of three, Messrs. Kroger, Boldt and Rust appointed to have dam in river bed lengthened, thereby hoping to bring more water into Anaheim. Mr. Lorenz moved that the meeting house be whitewashed inside and out, and some necessary carpenter repairs be made. Motion carried; Mr. Mr. Taft was not a Mason before he was elected, but the Grand Lodge of Ohio made him a "Mason at sight," between his election and his inauguration. President Roosevelt was recently initiated into one of the Masonic societies, the Tall Codars of Lebanon. RELIGIONS OF Presidents President Roosevelt will be the ninth member of the Protestant Episcopal Church to be President of the United States. It is a curious thing that this small denomination should have had more representatives in the White House than any of the other branches of the Christian Church. There are less than two million Episcopalians in America compared with nearly eight million Baptists, but only one President, Harding, was a Baptist. There are nearly twenty million Roman Catholics and none has ever been President. One President, Coolidge, was a Congregationalist, one Garfield, a member of the Disciples of Christ, one Hoover, a Quaker, two Van Buren and Theodore Roosevelt, belong to the Dutch Reform Church. Both the Adamses, Filmore and Taft, were Unitarians. Johnston, Grant and McKinley were Methodists. Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Benjamin Harrison and Woodrow Wilson were Presbyterians. The Episcopalians include Washington, Madison, Monroe, William Henry Harrison, Taylor, Pierce and Arthur. I don't imagine it makes any particular difference to what Church the President belongs. Two of them, Lincoln and Coolidge had never been members of any Church before they became President. But every President of the United States has been a deeply religious man, as every man must be if he is to command the confidence of the people. GRANDFATHERS A few Although one of the youngest Presidents, Mr. Roosevelt is one of the few who were grandfathers when they were elected Mr. Hoover was also a grandfather, but from then back for nearly hundred years I cannot find a record at any President was a grandfather at the time of his election. Washington had no children at all. Johnson, Adams and Jefferson were grandfathers, and I believe was Monroe. William Harrison, who lived but a month after his inauguration, has a grandson who later became President, but I believe there was no other President than those I have named who had grandchildren at the time of his election. Mrs. Warren Harding was a grandmother through her son by her first marriage. Not that any of that is important but Other San Joaquin valley sections were given hundreds of birds from the farms at Yountville and Chino. Some 2000 pheasants have been released in the Sacramento valley areas around Sacramento, Marysville, Oroville, Woodland and Chico receiving many of this large number. Over 3000 ring-necks have been put in the fields and mountains around Scott Bar, Arcata, Willows, Redding Alturas, Winters, Red Bluff, Garberville, Willits, Ukiah and Ferndale. A thousand or more birds have been sent from the game farms for distribution in Marin, Sonoma, Yolo and Napa counties. In all these regions pheasants seem to increase rapidly and find plenty of natural feed. In the vicinity of King City, at Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Santa Maria another... Regular general stockholders meeting called to order by President Zeyn. Minutes of June 9th read and approved. Reports of treasurer and secretary read and submitted for auditing to Messrs. Werder and Hahn. A committee of three, Messrs. Kroger, Boldt and Rust appointed to have dam in river bed lengthened, thereby hoping to bring more water into Anaheim. Mr. Lorenz moved that the meeting house be whitewashed inside and out, and some necessary carpenter repairs be made. Motion carried, and Mr. Langenberger appointed to see that such repairs are made. A committee of Messrs. Stappenbeck, Metz and Lorenz were appointed to find what has become of the large gate at the end of San Pedro Street. Ways and means to prevent so much sand coming in with water, committee asked for postponement until after the harvest. There being no further business, meeting adjourned. August Schenk, Secretary. Anaheim, August 18, 1865. Meeting of board of trustees called to order by President Zeyn. Minutes of last meeting read and corrected to read that D. Strodthoff be reimbursed $1.00 for water taken by J. Keller, same to be taken from $5.00 fine, and not additional to fine. Report of committee on lengthening dam in river bed accepted and committee charged. Treasurer reported $571.35 cash on hand, plus $5.00 fine from J. Keller, which Mr. Keller paid in Greenbacks, real value of which was only $3.65. Zanjero reported the cleaning of new main canal, hoeing weeds from both banks very necessary, decided to let contract for that work if possible. Bill of zanjero $35.00 for labor allowed, also bill for supplies to A. Langenberger & Co., $11.00. Mr. Bremermann complained of the increasing washing in of sand in ditches and asked a committee be appointed to view the main ditch along his lot. Messrs. Mosseman, Durr and Stappenbeck were appointed on such committee. Water sales for $38.00, reported. Meeting adjourned. August Schenk, Secretary. Thirty years ago a President's daughter gave her name to a new shade of blue. "Alice Blue" was so named because it was the favorite color of Alice Roosevelt, now Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt has given her name to another new shade of blue. It is called "Eleanor Blue" and she will wear a costume of this color at her first White House reception on March 4. It is described as a shade of hyacinth blue, between a gray-blue and a blue-gray—if anybody knows what that means. If this starts the women of America to buying new dress materials it will be a good thing for the revival of business. What's In a Name? Read This To See Old Bill Shakespeare wouldn't have asked his famous question, "What's in a name?" If he had read committee assignments of the state legislature. For example, William Hornblower, San Francisco, is chairman of motor vehicles; Charles W. Fisher, Oakland, member of the fish and game committee; Charles W. Stream, Palm City, chairman of drainage and swamps; Charles A. Hunt, Hollywood, chairman of conservation, and C. Don Field. Glendale, chairman of the committee on state grounds and parks. Planting Seedlings Results Pheasants, Turkeys, and Crows Turned Loose Sanctuaries Program to provide hunters with seeds throughout California, and game commission re-test year with considerable success. The planting of mounkey quail, pheasants, wild ridges, and other such birds has been heavier than any state game farms were ever made of suitable state-raised birds might find where it was assured arrive. Refuges and sancbeen secured, properly every protection thrown to allow the game birds on them to increase. Where scarce drinking places were the food problem has been precaution taken to keep dogs and animals from killing of pheasants has been from the Tehachapi to June. Thousands of these birds have released where experience they will increase in county nearly 900 pheasants from June to October. Quail were turned loose. Quin valley sections were used of birds from the farms and Chino. Pheasants have been reSacramento valley areasimento, Marysville, Orion and Chico receiving large number. Sing-necks have been put on mountains around Arcata, Willows, Redding, Peters, Red Bluff, Garber-Ukiah and Ferndale. Or more birds have been game farms for distributhousand or more pheasants have been planted. Southern California is receiving more attention with quail. In San Bernardino county there has been released on newly established refuges 1155 quail; in Riverside 786 quail and 665 pheasants; at Lancaster, Los Angeles county, the newest sanctuary 771 quail have been turned loose to date. Orange county has received nearly 400 pheasants and some quail. In that county another unit of the quail program refuges will be established during the spring, and more birds will be afforded that area. From a frequent check by fish and game wardens it has been estimated quail have increased as high as a hundred per cent where they were placed on sanctuaries. Pheasants also in most central and northern California areas have increased in large numbers. It is the aim of the fish and game commission to carry on the upland bird program under the present plans until this species of game will be re- "California Plan" May Aid Jobless Jobless youths now wandering all over the United States, would be given work in a chain of national forest labor camps modeled after the "California plan," under a bill now before congress. The proposal, according to S. R. Black, chairman of the California labor camp committee, was introduced by Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico. It is designed to aid more than 2,000,000 boys. "Governbr Rolph's plan of providing food and shelter for unemployed itinerants in exchange for work on fire trails and fire breaks has received nationwide attention," said Black. "It was used as a model for the Cutting bill, now incorporated in the Costigan-La Follette bill." 2 Women Thumb Wrong Motorist After escaping jail at Santa Rosa, two young women made the mistake of "thumbing" a ride on the highway from Officer Joseph Jackson, who took them right back to jail.
