OSTRICH ESCAPES FROM ATHERTON'S Autoists Meeting "Big Bird," Wonder What They See, Maintaining Only That They Saw It. Probably more people in No. Orange-co have sworn off home brew within the last 24 hours than in any similar period since the country went dry. The reason; they've been seeing things. The reports all sound alike. The reporter gets out of his car, attempts to walk a crack in the sidewalk and then exclaims: "Did you see what I saw? That was sure some bird, I'll tell the world!" The "big bird" is an escaped ostrich from the Edward Atherton ostrich farm 2½ miles northeast of Fallerton. It got away about 6 a.m. yesterday when three dogs chased it, the frightened bird plowing thru a fence and not returning. At the Atherton farm today it was stated the missing bird was an old hen. It is the first real escape from the farm. Two or three times before, one or more of the hair dozen ostriches kept on the farm have escaped into the hills a short distance when chased by dogs, but they were always readily recovered.

Pres. Frank H. True and the various executive officers of the Federation of State Societies today joined in dispatching telegrams to representatives in congress urging that they lend their support to the fight that Senator Hiram Johnson is making for a 2-cent protective tariff on foreign lemons. California has the support of former residents of every state in the union now members of the federation in her fight to secure a just tax that will enable her to continue in the pursuit of citrus culture—now threatened by a foreign product dumped on the Atlantic shore at PLAN RECALL FOR STANTON TRUSTEES AFTER MASS MEET Petition Being Circulated Protesting Against Spending All Road Funds on Stanton-ave. Reports from Stanton today were that a recall petition was being circulated against several members of the Stanton city council, including Mayor Roe, Councilmen Robinson and City Clerk Beecher, following a mass meeting attended by about 100 taxpayers. It was said today that the recall petition would be filed at the next meeting of the council, the second Monday next month. Taxpayers are said to be protesting against an alleged proposal to expend practically all the $6000 road funds on one Stanton-ave while other roads in the district are also said to be in dire need of repair. The petition is being generally signed, it was stated today, Councilman Hoskins, who has been absent for a year, will be asked to resign and Councilman who protested against the council's proposal and who instigated the recall proceedings will not be recalled, it was said today. FORDSON TRACTOR The "big bird" is an escaped ostrich from the Edward Atherton ostrich farm 2½ miles northeast of Fullerton. It got away about 6 a.m. yesterday when three dogs chased it, the frightened bird plowing thru a fence and not returning. At the Atherton farm today it was stated the missing bird was an old hen. It is the first real escape from the farm. It is two or three times before one or more of the hair cozen ostriches kept on the farm have escaped into the hills a short distance when chased by dogs, but they were always readily recovered. Today, however, the bird was still missing. It evidently proceeded across the Fullerton oil fields and along Placentia-ave. There it created considerable commotion among residents and to traffic. While in that vicinity, George Lyons gave chase with his auto but it could only run 60 miles per hour and couldn't keep up with the bird. Yesterday afternoon it was seen at Olive. Last night Paul Tedrick and James Sutherland, coming in on E. Center-st, gave one look, wiped the windshield, looked again, rubbed their eyes and then came on home without stopping further to figure out what it was they saw, only maintaining that they saw it. At the ostrich farm today it was stated considerable difficulty was anticipated in capturing the bird, unless it was cornered in a corral or fenced-in orchard.

An idea of the growth of the poultry business in California is gained from the fact that whereas the state was importing eggs four years ago, last year the Poultry Producers' Assn. shipped 920 carloads of eggs to eastern markets, and stored 57 cars for local consumption, profits going to stockholders in the association.
