SAY INCLUSION IN INDICTMENT ERROR The Excelsior Dairy company does not sell milk in Los Angeles, and inclusion of the company in the indictment against milk dealers and producers filed in Los Angeles by the grand jury of that county was an error, according to a statement today by W. D. Runney, vice president of the Santa Ana concern. Ranney had no further statement to make. Charles F. Heil, president of the company and one of the 18 individuals against whom indictments were returned, is now travelling in Europe having gone overseas three months ago. Other Orange county firms and individuals against whom indictments were returned lars Dr. S. Blenkron and C. Nowlin, co-partners, doing business under the name of the Hansen Dairy company, at Hanson station; O. W. Stroedthoff, an officer of the Hansen Dairy company, and W. A. Runney, a dealer said to be associated in the alleged agreement the indictments are based on. The indictment charges among other things that at a supposedly secret meeting last January the defendants compelled and agreed to carry out certain restrictions in the buying, selling and distribution of milk in Los Angeles county, outside the city, and to "limit and reduce the production of milk and prevent competition in the purchase and sale of milk, and to fix a standard price and figure which should be paid to the producers of milk purchased by the defendants." It is charged that at the asserted meeting it was agreed that the price of milk on February 1 should be 16 cents a quart and 9 cents a pint to consumers, and that they would pay "only $4 per 100 pounds of milk," and purchase only a limited amount, based on what was used in February, this year, which it was stated, was a low mouth in the production of milk. An additional charge is that the defendants agreed that they would buy milk from those who had previously sold to them, and from others they would buy solely on a price based on the butter fat content, a low women’s shoes will have lower heels must be made lower. New styles for the coming season will be shown with heels very much lower than they are today, except of course, for evening slippers and a few makes for everyday street wear, says Wm. Compton of the Karateria Shoe store. Manufacturers are bringing out a color to replace gray and it is believed it will become very popular. It is known as Blegger and is very similar to fawn color. FARM CENTER WILL HAVE AVOCADO DEPT The importance of Yorba Linda as an avocado growing section was emphasized at a meeting of the Yorba Linda farm center at the Murray Horne home. With the industry still in its infancy in that section, it was pointed out that climate and soil conditions make Yorba Linda the equal if not the superior of the hill sections of the San Gabriel valley where the avocado is in the lead of the fruits grown. Dr. Lester Keller and George T. Kellogg were appointed a committee to consider plans for establishing an avocado growers’ association department in the farm bureau center. The results of their investigation will be given at the next meeting together with a recommendation that the department be established. Among other business features discussed was the proposed farm home department in the county farm bureau. Mrs. George Kellogg, Mrs. Fred Qulley and Mrs. Murray Horne were appointed a committee to represent Yorba Linda at a gathering of representatives from each farm center which will be held at the farm bureau office July 15. At this time the plans for such a department will be made. Following an interesting talk by William Starbuck of Fullarton on the need of more knowledge of the various makes of farm tractors in use in the county, it was decided that a questionnaire be compiled by the completion of the Salt Lake building program thru Ana by Ana by the Union Paided for the immediate persons today followin which rectally purchased system that his company extensive expansion in So as purchase of the Salt Union Pacific is confirm terate commerce commi Calvin is in So.

Serious accidents have already resulted from the unprecedented scurrying into the vacation places of the west and officials of the Auto Club of So. Calif. have been moved, as a result, to issue a drastic warning at this time. "Use your horn!" This is the first and most important precept for mountain driving this summer, says the Club, according to forest reserve officers the use of the learn by motorists has become practically obsolete. They seem to have forgotten what the horn is. Many accidents would be avoided if the motorist would toot when he is rounding curves on steep grades, says the club. Do not think it is smart to avoid sounding your horn. Don't attempt to shift gears on steep grades, is a second warning. Too many women and unskilled drivers attempt to do this with fatal results. Do your shifting before you get into the steep part of the grade. Don't stop to admire the scenery or pick violets where the road is steep and narrow. There is a state law against stopping on a narrow road so as to block progress. Cars are often pushed over a bank in this way. Mountain driving is not easy for the person who is new at the wheel of a motor car, points out the Club report, and it is particularly difficult for women drivers. Become well versed in the handling of a car before you get into mountain territory and you will have no trouble. It is charged that at the asserted meeting it was agreed that the price of milk on February 1 should be 16 cents a quart and 9 cents a pint to consumers, and that they would pay "only $4 per 100 pounds of milk," and purchase only a limited amount, based on what was used in February, this year, which, it was stated, was a low month in the production of milk. An additional charge is that the defendants agreed that they would buy milk from those who had previously sold to them, and from others they would buy solely on a price based on the butter fat content, a lower standard than paid to producers who had previously supplied them. It was charged this asserted plan was carried on for four months. It was charged that a natural condition was capitalized and a price maintained, "incosistent with the increased production, resulting in not only a failure on the part of producers to enlarge their dairies, but in some cases causing the producers to go out of business because of the restrictions. Following an interesting talk by William Starbuck of Fullerton on the need of more knowledge of the various makes of farm tractors in use in the county, it was decided that a questionnaire be compiled by the farm bureau and submitted to all tractor users. It is expected that this method will result in accurate knowledge of the success or failure of different makes. A farm bureau plonic will be sponsored by the Yorba Linda center during July. It will be held at Orange county park and will be a community affair. George Kellogg, A.W. Miller and Mrs. Oliver were appointed as a committee on arrangements. To stimulate interest in the proposed farm center exhibit at the county fair, a prize of $5 was offered by George T. Kellogg for the finest water melon grown in Yorba Linda during the season, the award to be made at the close of the melon season. AVOCADOES WEIGH TWO POUNDS EACH One hundred avocados — weight 202 pounds; destination, San Francisco and Chicago. In brief, this statement reviews an interesting shipment made yesterday by E.A. White Fruit Co. of Santa Ana. The fruit company is now shipping Olinda and Taft avocados, together with what remains of the Challenge variety and one or two other varieties. The shipment of 190 fruits averaging a bit over 2 pounds apiece was of the Olinda variety. Avocados in small quantities will be shipped throughout the summer. Then will come the fall avocados, starting along about the first of September. The heaviest production of avocados here is in the fall. Avocado propagators have been endeavoring to get trees coming into bearing at different times so that avocados may be had every month of the year, and their efforts to a large extent have brought about the success of their plan. Some periods of the year, however, have very light production. The White company sells avocados directly to the wholesalers. It is worth mentioning, perhaps, that in Los Angeles avocados are sold by the pound, while in San Francisco they are sold by the dozen. The two-pound avocados are sold by the Los Angeles wholesalers at about 40 cents a pound and by the San Francisco Grocers. Don't stop to admire the scenery or pick violets where the road is steep and narrow. There is a state law against stopping on a narrow road so as to block progress. Cars are often pushed over a bank in this way. Mountain driving is not easy for the person who is new at the wheel of a motor car, points out the Club report, and it is particularly difficult for women drivers. Become well versed in the handling of a car before you get into mountain territory and you will have no trouble. Remember that there are steer grades leading into the beautiful Sequoia Park, no bad grades in General Grant, and some steep grades into the gorgeous Huntington Lake district. STRAWBERRIES TEMPT IN SAUCES AND DESSERTS A seasonable variation of old-fashioned "hard sauce" that is so useful with cottage pudding, boiled rice, cornstarch blanc-mange, sponge cake, and other desserts which need a little dressing up is made by using ripe strawberries. The following recipe is from the Experimental Kitchen of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture: STRAWBERRY SAUCE One-third cup butter One and one-third cups strawberries. One cup powdered sugar. White one egg. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, the egg white beaten stiff, and the strawberries, and beat until the fruit is mashed. STRAWBERRY CHARLOTTE Another very attractive and more elaborate dessert can be easily and quickly made with sponge cake as a basis. Bake the cake in a sheet and cut into strips to line the sides of a glass dish, fill the center with strawberries that have been lightly mixed with stiff whipped cream slightly sweetened and seasoned with a pinch of salt, and serve at once. Berries combined with whipped cream in this way may be used without the cake, and to many persons are more delicious than when served with cream in the usual way. The berries should be kept whole so far as possible, so that the cream forms a coating on each one. Frozen strawberry desserts are also delicious and easy to make. ORANGE-CO BOOZE INSPECTORS OUSTED Three immigration officers, known at San Juan Capistrano because of having been stationed there in connection with the federal government's operations in curbing smuggling of contraband aliens, were today at San Diego dismissed from the service, according to a dispatch received from the southern city. The men were D. O. Grimes, E. T. Hunter and F. M. Stanley, advices said. They were ousted on the grounds that they appropriated seven gallons of whiskey to their own use from a whiskey smuggling automobile which they stopped at San Juan while watching the highway for contraband Chinese, according to the dispatch. Stanley was an immigration inspector and Grimes and Hunter were mounted watchmen. A. NELSON BEAN DEALER Buena Park Phone—Anakelm 782-J-8 Fullerton 173-B-1 EXPECT SALT LAKE THRU ANAHEIM SOON Completion of the Salt Lake road building program thru Anaheim to Santa Ana by the Union Pacific was predicted for the immediate future by local persons today following announcement in Los Angeles by E. E. Calvin, vice-president of the Union Pacific, which recently purchased the Salt Lake system, that his company contemplates extensive expansion in So. Cal, as soon as purchase of the Salt Lake by the Union Pacific is confirmed by the interstate commerce commission. Calvin is in So. Cal, looking the new property over and familiarizing himself with the territory for the purpose of advising on future activities of the railroad company, it is said. He has announced that arrangements are being completed for running Union Pacific transcontinental train into Los Angeles on a 72 hour schedule, the service to start with the next 30 to 60 day. The name of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad will disappear and the system will be operated entirely under the name of the Union Pacific. "The officials of the Union Pacific have great expectations as to the development of So. Cal, industrially and commercially," said Calvin. "We believe this section is to become a great manufacturing and shipping center." "There is a growing feeling among Eastern manufacturers that So. Cal has entered upon an unprecedented industrial and commercial expansion." Carl Gray, president of the Union Pacific, and H. M. Adams, vice-president, will come to the Southland in July to acquaint themselves with the territory. "The Union Pacific has always followed the policy of working closely with the public, particularly with the business public, in each community served by it, and we hope to become identified in a substantial and helpful way with the business and industrial life of So. Cal, offering good facilities to all who favor us with patronage. "We plan to grow along with So. Cal, and our equipment and facilities will be expanded to requirements as they develop." The Salt Lake had invested several hundred thousand dollars in a right of way from Pico station to Santa Ana and it is believed that the Union Pacific will not long delay building the line to Santa Ana. ROAD INFORMATION AT S. C. AUTO CLUB There is all the information obtainable at the local office of the Auto Club of So. Cal, on highway facilities through Cal., and also covering parts of Oregon and Washington and routes east, it was announced this morning by G. E. Phillips, local manager. Autolists may "stock up" on information by calling at the auto club. PLAN BIG K. OF C.
