County Mourns Noted Pioneer A. S. Bradford, Founder of Placentia, Dies at La Canada Thursday Placentia's founder is mourned throughout the county. A. S. Bradford, one of the prominent pioneers whose influence was felt throughout the county, died of cerebral hemorrhage at his La Canada home last Thursday morning. Funeral services were held at Fullerton Saturday, with the Masonic lodge officiating. Mr. Bradford leaves his widow, Mrs. Winifred Bryan Bradford; three sons by a former marriage, Percy L. Bradford of La Canada, Warren M. Bradford of Placentia, and Hartwell A. Bradford of Los Angeles. Before coming to Orange county in the early '80's, Mr. Bradford had a varied career. He once was a member of a whaler's crew; was a truck gardener, railroad fireman and engineer, and a resort manager. Immediately after coming to this district, he became interested in the campaign to form Orange county, culminating in the political division from Los Angeles in 1889. For many years Mr. Bradford operated a nursery and orange grove at the site of Placentia, and in 1910 founded that city. He also was a founder of the old Anaheim First National bank and the American Savings bank of Anaheim; he was prominently associated with the founding of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and for 15 years was a director on the Anaheim Union Water company board. He founded the Placentia National bank, remaining as president until it was sold to the Bank of America. Mr. Bradford was prominent in various Masonic orders, and was a life member of the Al Malalkah temple of the Shrine, Los Angeles. Itinerants Look Askance at ‘Joke’ "Can't give you any meals today. Move on to the next stop." Itinerants who had been "boarding" at the Salvation Army "Hotel" regularly for the past several months, met with this response when applying at police headquarters for meal tickets Saturday. At first they looked a little bewildered, not knowing for certain whether the officers at the desk meant what they said, or whether it was just another April fool joke. But officers patiently explained that this was no joke. The city several weeks ago had notified the Salvation Army that beginning April 1 the municipal support for purchase of groceries for itinerants would cease. The city has been issuing the tickets at the police department which entitled the bearers, after an hour's work on the wood pile, to dinner, bed and breakfast. The "boarder" then moved along to another city. After a few weeks Salvation Army officials discovered that the same persons who had been here a month or six weeks before were applying again for an over-night lodging. These "travelers" had worked out a system of going from Anaheim to Santa Ana, or to Fullerton or Whittier or Los Angeles, according to the direction they were heading, then make a circuit of one-day jaunts, winding up at Anaheim more or less regularly. This is the second winter that the city has furnished the funds by which the Salvation Army has fed itinerants. 150 Attend Bible Class Celebration Celebrating the first anniversary of the Young People's Bible class of this city, 150 members of the younger set attended Monday night's meeting at which Newly-Installed President Richard Dugdale expressed gratitude for the honor bestowed upon him, and the group delegated Walter Taylor to speak Explains Basis For Bank Credit By HOLMES BISHOP Chairman Citrus Dept. Orange County Farm Bureau During the years when the income from citrus groves was high, it did not take a very prolific orchard to return profits to the grower. Assurance of adequate income insured the grower of bank credit. That credit once enjoyed has steadily declined until the orange grower's ability to borrow money is practically nil. Financial institutions hold a definite place in the citrus grower's business, and as citrus growers we must recognize their problems and give unbiased analysis of their position. Banks are bound by a triangle, the depositor, the stockholder and the borrower. Each must be reconciled with the other and kept in balance. To work for the interest of all three is not always an easy task, especially in times of adversity. When the grower desires to borrow money there must first be some basis upon which the bank can extend the credit. Ordinarily there are several things that the bank takes into consideration in forming its basis for credit. The indebtedness on the land has to be considered, the record of past production, the condition of the crop to be harvester, etc. Then the fruit must be marketed through some recognized responsible marketing agency, insuring that it will be paid for. However, the continued decline in the price of oranges due to decreased buying power and continuous high yields has added new difficulties to the maintaining of credit. Loans on land are limited by law to fifty percent of the value placed on it by a qualified appraiser. During recent years the decrease in commodity values has likewise decreased the value of land, necessitating a reduction on the amount possible to loan on real estate, and rendering previous loans too high. This also has endangered commercial credit. Commercial loans which are desired by the orange grower at this season of the year, when his bank account is fed with the founding of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and for 15 years was a director on the Anaheim Union Water company board. He founded the Placentia National bank, remaining as president until it was sold to the Bank of America. Mr. Bradford was prominent in various Masonic orders, and was a life member of the Al Malalkah temple of the Shrine, Los Angeles. 150 Attend Bible Class Celebration Celebrating the first anniversary of the Young People's Bible class of this city, 150 members of the younger set attended Monday night's meeting at which Newly-Installed President Richard Dugdale expressed gratitude for the honor bestowed upon him, and the group delegated Walter Taylor to speak on behalf of the class in thanking Dr. H. A. Johnston for his work as teacher. Dr. Johnston, who took up "The Observance of the Sabbath" as the night's subject, responded to Taylor's tribute by saying that he enjoyed "devoting my time to giving you what I can." Assembly Passes Many Farm Bills (Continued from page 1) tricts in the state for honey dew melons. The Imperial valley honey dews must meet a minimum legal requirement of 11 per cent soluble solids or sugar. Elsewhere in the state the figure is fixed at 10 percent for this variety. Honey ball melons in all sections of the state must meet a minimum sugar test of 12 percent. The cantaloupe bill also divides the state into two maturity districts. The legal minimum requirement for soluble solids or sugar in the Imperial Valley is set at 9 percent, and a figure of 8 percent is set for the remainder of the state. A bill introduced by Assemblyman Hobart R. Alter of Ontario and passed by the assembly provides more adequate regulation of haulers of off-grade fruits, nuts or vegetables by by-products factories. This bill requires a permit from the county agricultural commissioner in the counties where the shipments originate, and this permit must be renewed yearly. There is no cost for this service. A bill introduced by Assemblymen Utt of Tustin and Edward Craig of Brea relates to the standardization of avocados. A few minor changes have been made to more nearly meet the requirements of the industry. This bill has been passed by the assembly and has been given a "do pass" recommen- Loans on land are limited by law to fifty percent of the value placed on it by a qualified appraiser. During recent years the decrease in commodity values has likewise decreased the value of land, necessitating a reduction on the amount possible to loan on real estate, and rendering previous loans too high. This also has endangered commercial credit. Commercial loans which are desired by the orange grower at this season of the year, when his bank account is usually at its lowest ebb, is an unsecured note on which money is obtained for a short time only, and is not meant to be extended over a long period. Therefore, the banks in making such a loan to a grower does so to aid him in bringing his crop into market, and rightfully expects repayment when the crop is sold. The basis of credit to the citrus grower is the value of his land plus the liquidity of his unsecured notes. The valencia grower is in a preferred position among agriculturists, because both of these factors are subject to his control to a very large degree. On this basis the bank must be assured that the crop will be sold for enough to pay the expenses of production, otherwise the borrower will be further in debt at the end of the season than at the beginning. Such debt is not liquid, nor is it healthy for the borrower or the lender. If the valencia growers will unite in a sufficiently large proportion to establish adequate control of the market supply, and thus insure returns that will repay the costs of production, their notes will then be liquid. Without this liquidity it is doubtful if any banks can properly extend credit, since only upon such conditions can they protect the stockholders and depositors and apply for supplementary funds from the Federal Reserve Bank. Since land is and should be valued largely on the worth of the commodities which it produces, the Valencia orange growers should see to it that their land values are made stable as a basis of security, and their unsecured credit kept liquid. This can be accomplished by thorough and complete stabilization of the valencia industry. A bill introduced by Assemblymen Utt. of Tustin and Edward Craig of Brea relates to the standardization of avocadoes. A few minor changes have been made to more nearly meet the requirements of the industry. This bill has been passed by the assembly and has been given a "do pass" recommendation by the senate agriculture and livestock committee. A bill introduced by Assemblyman Samuel E. Robinson relates to the standardization of fresh asparagus. This bill sets up quality and grade standards, certain marking requirements and establishes a standard container. This bill has passed the assembly and is before the senate for consideration. A bill introduced by Assemblyman John P. Phillips of Banning pertains to the standardization of dates. Several new defects have been added to the present bill and the tolerance for defects has been cut down. All processed dates must be labeled and "hydrated" or "steamed". This bill has passed the assembly and is now under consideration by the senate. A bill introduced by Assemblyman Craig gives the director of agriculture more explicit powers to determine the selection of official samples of fruits, nuts or vegetables, the establishment of color standards and other authority in connection with the enforcement of provisions of the California fruit, nut and vegetable standardization act. This bill has passed the assembly and also has been given a "do pass" recommendation by the senate agriculture and livestock committee. A bill introduced by Assemblyman Craig relates to the standardization of walnuts. This adds one more defect to the quality provisions and reduces the tolerance for walnuts affected by worms or worm injury from 20 to 10 percent. This bill has passed the assembly and has been given a "do pass" recommendation by the senate agriculture and livestock committee.

Beer Bill Gets Its First Reading (Continued from page 1) rants or cafes where an edible meal costing 15 cents or more is ordered. The council reserves the right to re-secind liquor licenses from all retailers or wholesalers for cause. In operation, it is understood the council first will warn an offender, then cancel his license. Once the license is cancelled that person is forever prevented from getting another. Penalties for violation are $300 fine, or three months in jail, or both. The council plans to withdraw immediately the license granted to any person convicted or violation of city, state or national laws. The council by Thursday morning had received several applications, with indications that many more would be received before the ordinance becomes effective on April 14. Many features of the ordinance were copied from the measure adopted in 1924, which was based upon the Wright act. These features mainly pertain to regulation of drinking on the streets, in automobiles, public parks, places of business, etc., with similar fines and imprisonments. For arrests on intoxication the council relies on an ordinance passed in 1918, which has proven satisfactory in many arrests, resulting in a great number of convictions. Monday evening persons representing the dry sentiment of the community presented petitions to the council protesting sale of beer or wine in Anaheim. Few persons were present Tuesday evening when the title of the ordinance was read. Find 200 Gallons Short On Delivery Inspection of 379 gasoline tank trucks and trailers by the division of weights and measures in the state department of agriculture in the past ten months, shows that some of these carriers have been as much as 200 gallons short on a 3,500 gallon delivery. It was reported by J. S. Casey, chief of the division. The shortage was due to the inaccur- R.F.C. Loan Rule Is Disappointing Only persons already receiving charity from the county welfare department or those who immediately will be forced upon county charity, are eligible for employment with the $50,000 Reconstruction Finance Corporation fund obtained by the county board of supervisors. This is the ruling of the R.F.C. covering expenditures of the fund. Against this ruling almost every voice in county officialdom is raised. County Welfare Director Byron Curry, who had been instrumental in securing data through which the $50,000 fund was obtained, interpreted the R.F.C. ruling as above outlined, remarking that the purpose of the original request was to get funds through wheih the board of supervisors could help unemployed who through their own organizations had striven hard to maintain their own morale and supply of foodstuffs through co-operative efforts. Declared LeRoy Lyons: "This will break down the morale of the unemployed." Said Supervisor John Mitchell: "We are unable to help the group that we wanted to help." Supervisor W. C. Jerome remarked: "(The ruling) places a premium upon pauperism." Relief employment projects in Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, Brea and Santa Ana were approved by the supervisors, pending a final O.K. by a R.F.C. representative. County Accepts State Quake Aid A maximum of $9,000 will be received by Orange county from the state's appropriation to safeguard public highways from earthquake damage. The board of supervisors Tuesday authorized Chairman Willard Smith to accept the state funds. Secretary of State Senate J. A. Beek Growth Rate Is Important Item Chicken Raisers Told Right Proportion of Development For Chicks By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor Many poultry and experiment station workers are of the opinion that a considerable portion of the pullet mortality accruing from three months to eight months of age is due in part at least to too rapid development. Rapid growth is desired as cheaper gains and a more rapid turnover can be secured when selling broilers, fryers or roasters. Producing pullets for egg production, however, is another question. The herd as a body must be developed capable of withstanding the long drain upon its vitality from long egg production. To secure this type of body incorporated in a pullet, less rapid development is to be desired. As a guide on the rate of growth of white leghorn pullets, a chart is herewith given. To obtain a representative average weight, weigh at least ten birds selected at random. Age in Weeks Age in Weeks Weight in Pounds Weight in Ounces 1 .11 1.76 4 .38 6.08 8 1.09 17.44 12 1.80 28.80 16 2.36 37.76 20 2.91 46.56 24 3.28 52.48 The lage type of white leghorns may be expected to exceed these weights, particularly from the 12th week on. It is probable that any injury resulting from too rapid growth will occur in the first 12 weeks. Factors contributing to rapid development are warm brooder rooms, use of artificial lights, restricted quarters, low fiber content of the ration and a high protein ration. Different lots of chicks will have to be handled differently in order to obtain a similar rate of growth. The chart will be found useful as a guide in checking with what would appear to be normal rate of growth. Find 200 Gallons Short On Delivery Inspection of 379 gasoline tank trucks and trailers by the division of weights and measures in the state department of agriculture in the past ten months, shows that some of these carriers have been as much as 200 gallons short on a 3,500 gallon delivery. It was reported by J. S. Casey, chief of the division. The shortage was due to the inaccuracy of the delivery meters on the trucks or trailers. One hundred and thirteen of the 379 carriers were found to be in error, and proper adjustments were enforced. Casey reported that the necessity for gasoline sales equipment inspection has been increased by 500 percent in the past ten years, due to the development of the gasoline and automotive industries. Blame Awning Fire On Cigaret Ashes Cigaret ashes tossed aloft by a careless passerby are believed to have caused the fire which destroyed a store awning at 162 West Center street Wednesday. A member of the fire department put out the blaze. County Accepts State Quake Aid A maximum of $9,000 will be received by Orange county from the state's appropriation to safeguard public highways from earthquake damage. The board of supervisors Tuesday authorized Chairman Willard Smith to accept the state funds. Secretary of State Senate J. A. Beek of Newport Beach sent notice to the board of a resolution of sympathy by the state legislature for stricken communities, and announcing that funds for relief were appropriated. The board was swamped with applications from persons who had volunteered their services during the earthquake, and, as a means of economy, voted to pay compensation only to those who were duly appointed by Sheriff Logan Jackson for such work. The board also took steps to reduce the costs of elections, voting to consolidate precincts in cities, two into one, reducing the number from 224 to 167 for the proposed June 2 state election, on the recommendation of County Clerk J. M. Backs. The board also reduced the number of members to a precinct board from six to four, and pay from $6 to $8 to $5, each. Dress Up For Easter This medicine does a lot for children Have you a youngster who doesn't eat enough—isn't gaining—isn't getting on in school? Sluggish children need a stimulant. Indeed, the healthiest child's stomach, liver and bowels need stimulating at times. Here's a preparation that stimulates the little system in a perfectly harmless manner—it is, in fact, a family doctor's prescription. It is used on the youngest children—even babies—with such happy results that a million mothers use it. The first thing it does is cleanse the system of all lingering poisons that make children bilious or sluggish. (They will never need any other cathartic, and their little bowels move regularly and thoroughly without any other help.) Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the name of this famous prescription. Every druggist keeps it ready for use. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is made of fresh herbs, active senna, and purest pepsin, and is so pleasant-tasting and pleasant acting that the children love to take it. There is no better regulator of the bowels for anyone, of any age. Whole families rely on it. Older people find it to be the very best protection from auto-intoxication. Syrup Pepsin has the same action at any age. Mild enough for babies. In adult doses, it is strong enough to keep any man or woman in condition. $25.00 & $30.00 for a suit with 2 pair pants you will be proud to wear!

Yungbluth “THE HOME OF HART SCHAFFNER & MARX” 145 West Center Street Memorial Wins Local Admiration (Continued from page 1) Mrs. Langenberger was remembered by Anaheim pioneers as a woman of great grace and charm, and one of the colony's earliest and most noted singers. Mrs. Langenberger willed the present site of the Anaheim city park to her three daughters by Mr. Schmidt, Mrs. Herman Dickel, Mrs. E. R. Turek, and Mrs. J. H. Bullard. The property was bought from Herman Dickel by the city for $100,000. Mrs. Langenberger willed the site of the present S. Q. R. store to Langenberger's three children by his first wife, and her home property at Sycamore and Lemon streets to her two children by Langenberger. Langenberger's original store was located at the site of the old Falkenstein store, recently occupied by I. H. Hawkins and previously by Ormsby's. Here Langenberger developed a general store of wide fame, becoming one of the most prosperous and best known merchants in Southern California. He also established a freight team service to Anaheim Landing, hauling wines and other freight from this city to the Landing, and bringing general freight back. An interesting sidelight to this freight service was a telescope he erected on top of his two-story store, from which he could see schooners arrive and depart from Anaheim Landing.
