IS VICTIM OF BCK LAST NIGHT SHOW ADVERTISING SELLS 2000 TONS OF LIME FERTILIZER Fred L. Sexton Offers Show Committee $500 Because of Excellent Results from Exposition Fred L. Sexton, in charge of distribution for the D. M. S. Lime Fertilizer with deposits near Torrance, Calif., was a welcome visitor at the Chamber of Commerce today and offered his check for $500 to the 1922 Executive Committee of the Calif. Valencia Orange Show, stipulating that it might either be used as an investment drawing interest or as a cash gift outright. On questioning as to the cause of this generosity, Mr. Sexton stated that the First Annual California Valencia Orange Show has furnished his company direct rules amounting to not less than 2000 tons of this material and said: "I can well afford to give you $500 out of this order alone." "The first show has opened to us a market in several parts of the state in which we hitherto had no business," says Sexton. "I estimate that the direct results from our small outlay in the Orange Show will run to 5000 tons of our material" RICHFIELD SOUTHERN OPENS OFFICES IN CASSAU BUILDING Has Big Up at Richfield Near Petroleum Midway and Is Preparing to Install Rotary The Richfield Southern Oil Co. of Anaheim, has moved into its temporary offices in the Cassou-bldg on West Center-st. The company will build its own building at a later date. This company, which is particularly identified by its offset drilling plan and conservative management, is headed by Dr. H. A. Johnston of Anaheim and its board of directors is composed of well known and successful business men of Orange-co and vicinity. The Richfield Southern now owns nine very valuable leases, five of which are in the Richfield-Placentia field, one each in Coyote Hills, adjoining the Standard properties, Yorba Linda district and Garden Grove section. It owns also a lease at Laguna Beach, adjoining the Laguna Beach Consolidated property on which a well is being drilled and is now standing cemented. The leases which this company The Richfield Southern now owns nine very valuable leases, five of which are in the Richfield-Placentia field, one each in Coyote Hills., adopting the Standard properties, Yorba Linda district and Garden Grove section. It owns also a lease at Laguna Beach, adjoining the Laguna Beach Consolidated property on which a well is being drilled and is now standing cemented. The leases which this company controls in the Richfield-Placentia district are very choice and any company is indeed fortunate to have such potential oil properties on which to build up a producing organization. John H. Wents, vice president of the Anaheim National bank, who is treasurer of the Richfield Southern, says that the Richfield-Placentia field was selected for the major operations of the company, because it has proven to be a stable and reliable field, in which not only large production is obtained, but where the wells are long lived. Mr. Wents also emphasizes the offset drilling plan of the company and is convincing in his arguments that this plan eliminates the greater part of the gamble in getting production. In the pursuance of this plan, the Richfield Southern will not begin drilling operations on any lease, until there is a commercially producing well within 300 feet of the property. Following such a plan is practically synonymous to drilling on proved ground. Since there are wells nearing completion on land adjoining four of the company's leases, it will be but a short time until the Richfield Southern will be actively developing one or more of its properties. The company now has a rig up adjoining the Petroleum Midway at Richfield, on which it is getting ready to install the big rotary.

Calif., and particularly in Orange-co where the extent of his operations are said to have approached $2000. His attorney, Judge W. H. Thomas, made an eloquent plea for probation but this was denied.
