Amalgamated Spuds In Thompson No. 1 Placentia-Richfield The Amalgamated Oil Co. spudded in and started drilling on Thompson No. 1, an offset well to the Petroleum Midway's Krug property. Bahya No. 1 shows 2400 feet of hole in the blue shale. Mann No. 1 is at 2400 in blue shale. Page No. 1 is at 1800 in shale and boulders. The Clark Oil Co.'s Wetzell No. 1 set six-inch at 4125. It is now rigged up to drill out the cement and make a water test. Drilling on the Dependable Oil Trust Well No. 1 is now making good progress. Big boulders encountered at 500 feet have been passed and now the drilling is going nicely. Cable tools proved valuable in the rocks. An exhaustive pumping test made on the Fullerton Oil Co.'s Anaheim Union No. 1 drilled to 4600 feet failed to produce any oil. The four-inch casing is to be perforated from 4470 to 4573 and a test made further up the hole. Other showings at 4200 and 4300 will be tested out in turn. Should the Anaheim Union prove a duster it will break the run of deep wells for Richfield production. It will be Richfield's first failure. The General Petroleum's Jones No. 1 is now drilling at 4050 feet in shale. Todate this well has not shown a great deal of encouragement. Group 2-1 the deep Yorba Linda well stands cemented at 4:088.

Mr. Brown is forty-four years old, a mining engineer and a graduate of the University of California. He engaged in mining work in this country, Alaska, and Africa, and has been associated with Herbert Hoover in relief work since 1915, when he joined the staff of the Commission for relief in Belgium. In August, 1916, he was placed in charge of the Commission's office in Rotterdam, port of entry for the vast quantities of food with which Belgium's 7,500,000 inhabitants were fed during the German occupation. After the armistice, still at Rotterdam, he represented the American Relief Administration in supplying foodstuffs to a large part of northern Europe. Since August, 1919, he has been director for Europe of the American Relief Administration, whose New York headquarters are at 42 Broadway. WARNING SENT OUT TO BANKERS The American Banker's Assn. has sent to banks throughout the U.S., a warning against a man known to the association as F. Mayer, who is said to have swindled banks in Chicago, Milwaukee, Brooklyn, New York, New Orleans and Boston out of $43,000 within the last two years by kiting checks. According to the association, Mayer's first step when he decided to victimize a bank is to move to a new city and open an account with between two and eight local banks. When he has gained the confidence of various banks and has a fairly substantial deposit in one of them he obtains from that institution a certified check for almost the total of his deposited funds. He then draws three or four other cheques exactly alike for the same amount and forges upon them a certified stamp. Then he visits the other banks where he has opened accounts and cashes the spurious paper. The ingenuity of his game is shown by the fact that if a bank to whom one of these cheeks is presented for payment calls on the original bank for verification it is checked up as all right. The association says that the man's scheme is so clever that only way he ever will commit it by a careful checking up of references offered by all depositors. Mayer is described as 35 to 40 years old, five feet six inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, fair complexion, light sandy hair, stocky build. He resembles a German Jew and talks with a slight German accent. He wears shell rimmed spectacles. COMPLIMENT GUESTS WITH DINNER PARTY YORBA LINDA, Aug. 24 — (Sp.)— is being made at 4430.

COMPLIMENT GUESTS WITH DINNER PARTY YORBA LINDA, Aug. 24—(Sp.)—Mr. and Mrs. L.D.Olive entertained at dinner Tuesday evening as a courtesy to Mr., and Mrs.Chas Barrows, Mr. and Mrs.Barrows are recent arrivals in So.Calif., from Boston and are now visiting Mrs.Barrows' slater, who is Mrs.J.Luall of Yorba Linda. The guests were Mr. and Mrs.Chas Barrows, Mr. and Mrs.James Leulland Miss Doris Leulland, Mr.Irwin, of Fullerton, and Miss Hazel Lindley, of Los Angeles, who is the house guest of Mr. and Mrs.Oliver. Mr. and Mrs.L.D.Oliver spent the week-end in Los Angeles, as the guests of Mr., and Mrs.Mead, Mrs.Mead and Mrs.Oliver were formerly old school-mates. Miss Hazel Lindsey is spending a few days at the L.D.Oliver home. FIRE EQUIPMENT MEETS ALL TESTS Santa Ana's new motor fire truck and pump today had the official O.K.of fire underwriters, following completion of official tests. The equipment is now at the fire hall and will be held in reserve for special emergencies that require the running of several lines of hose in fighting a big conflagration. It will not be used in responding to all calls. The lighter equipment will be called into action for most of the fires. The new truck will be invaluable in fighting fires located at points where pressure in the water mains may not be sufficient to cope with a fire. The apparatus also can be used in pumping water direct from an irrigating ditch, should city water be unavailable or insufficient. THE SONG OF THE WIND The song of the wind in the chimney I heard.

In the well known woman difficult viction that, even been a percrimine STOCK FEATURE OF SAN FERNANDO FAIR A tremendous surprise awaits the visitors on opening day of the San Fernando valley fair, to be held September 15 to 24, in the shape of a livestock show that will be second to none ever held in So. Calif. That the valley towns would attempt a livestock show that would surpass the big show held last year at Exposition park, was hardly expected, and especially in view of the fact that livestock was only one of the departments of their show; but the signed entries that have already been received by H. H. Adamson, who is the committeeman in charge of this department, assures the public of an event as large or larger than last year's city show. A partial list of the entries received thus far include the following: Holstein cattle, Fred Hartsook, Lankershim; Earl Sturgis, Supt.; the Maxwell Farms; Anita Baldwin's Santa Anita Rancho; Santa Monica Dairy Co.; The Clapp Herd; Earl Graham, Compton; and Carl Ray of Lankershim. Guernsey cattle; Brant Rancho; Adohr Stock Farms; Dr. A. B. Wessels, Chino; San Diego Co.; Walter Dupes, Santee, San Diego Co.; Jersey cattle; The Windsor Ranch and Carl Ray's Ranch and probably Cook, Thomas and Merrill of Rivernide-co. The committee in charge of the cattle division will endeavor to feature some stunts that will be of particular interest to the commercial dairymen. In previous fairs in So. Calif., all the interest has been centered around the thorobred cattle, and little if any, attention has been paid to the practical commercial dairymen. In this class a three-day contest for butter fat production has been arranged and the cow testing association will feature an event. In the department of swine, exhibits will be made from Brant Rancho; Durocs, Your Duroc Farm, Whittier; Eddie Maier, Santa Susanna will exhibit Berkshires; LeRoy Moser, Poland Chinas; The Ruth Ranch of Ontario will bring their Berkshires and J. O. Craig, Durocs. MISSION PLAY STARS AT BALBOA DANCE Spanish dancers and singers who were stars in the Mission Play at San Gabriel have been secured for special entertainers at La Flesta night at Balboa pavilion tonight. The dancers are Senor Calletano Orduna, Senor Antonio Dominguez Senorita Julita Ruiz and Senorita Carmen Ruiz. Orduna has a wonderfully fine baritone voice for solo work. Serpentines and novelties of various kinds have been arranged for La Flesta night. Friday night is to be balloon night. SEES GOOD MARKET FOR LATE ORANGES With approximately 5000 cars of the state's Valencia crop still to move, indications are favorable for a strong late market, according to L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange-co Fruit Exchange, today. These 5000 cars, if properly distributed thru the remaining shipping period, which will be until about the middle of November, should insure a steady and favorable market in the opinion of the Exchange manager, who has for some time been urging growers not to crowd the market but to permit a systematic distribution of the remaining crop over the marketing period. "There is every reason to believe," said Palmer today "that we will have a strong windup if we are not crowded by the anxiety of the growers to clean up their remaining crop. We need a chance to handle the remainder of the crop carefully." "August and September are the heaviest deciduous months and when too many oranges come in competition with these fruits, a dragging market condition is the result. This was illustrated by the strong market of several weeks ago which was due to light shipments. This attractive market started a rush of shipments that soon hammered down the market." P. VARNER UPSETS, KNOCKS RAYMOND P. Varner upset the dope last night when he knocked off Bugs Raymond, an ace man, in the first round of the local tryouts for the Los Angeles elimination bowling tourney. Varner grabbed the win in the last frame by striking out. Following were the scores: M. Varner 537 vs. Theodore 577; Holmes 526 vs. Myre 518; Cordes 498 vs. Dugas 494; Yoern 488 vs. Johnson 529; Evans 550 vs. Logefiel 460; Shaffer 493 vs. Heffron 543; P. Varner 497 vs. Raymond 486. O'Donnell won a bloodless victory, drawing a bye. Three more pairs will roll for the first round Thursday when the second round will also be rolled. The final will be rolled Friday. Tonight 20 teams, including the best women bowlers in the southland, will roll here in So. Cal. Mixed Doubles tourney. The Five Points Gas Station is the name of the sixth and newest entry in the City Bowling league which gets underway the first of next month. The lineup is Holmes, captain, Schulz, Schleuter brothers, Heddler and Ehlen. The Mighty Johnson, despite the complaint his hands have been softened much of late thru washing dishes and other domestic duties, was third from top in the individual averages for the So. Cal. Elks league which has just closed its schedule. He averaged for the season 185. Faulstick of Long Beach was first with 194. Anaheim team men averaged: Evans, ninth place, 184; Gordon, 13th, 182; Myre, 25th, 179; M. Varner, 54th, 164; P. Varner, 58th, 163; Dugas and Efker, 60th, 162. The final standing of the So. Cal.

The average American citizen probably does not realize to what magnitude the distribution of California eggs has grown. One California poultry association will have sales this year in the neighborhood of $10,000,000. Thirty thousand persons are engaged in the industry in that part of the state, and the investment is estimated at $40,000,000. According to the Petaluma C. of C. 22,223,923 dozen eggs and 2,880,492 heads of poultry were shipped from that section alone last year. The poultry producers of central California has increased authorized capital from $250,000 to $750,000; the poultry producers of San Diego co from $25,000 to $100,000. On Aug. 3, stockholders of the poultry producers of So. Cal. met at 1560 industrial-st. Los Angeles and voted to issue capital stock from $100,000 to $250,000. Vote on the increase resulted as follows: For increased capitalization, 7-515 shares. Against increased capitalization, 46 shares. This organization recently purchased frontage on Mill and Industrial-sts paying therefore $42,500, and not crowded by the auxiliary of the growers to clean up their remaining crop. We need a chance to handle the remainder of the crop carefully. "August and September are the heaviest deciduous months and when too many oranges come in competition with these fruits, a dragging market condition is the result. This was illustrated by the strong market of several weeks ago which was due to light shipments. This attractive market started a rush of shipments that soon hammered down the market. "Altho considerable drop has been caused by the Tortrix worm, this seems to be practically over and moves a condition which has influenced some growers to rush shipments. With the small quantity of fruit remaining, it would seem advisable for growers to hold back." On Aug. 1 it was estimated that there were only about 7500 cars yet to go. Some 2500 cars have been moved so far during the month. With 2500 to 3000 cars moving in September, it is believed that by Oct. 1 there will be only 1500 to 2,000 cars left. WINNER OF CROIX DE GUERRE IN S. A. Come out of the jaws of death, Corporal Ora J. Easton is today visiting his grandfather, L. W. Easton, of Santa Ana. Easton captured a German officer, 21 soldiers and a machine gun. For that he was awarded a Croix de Guerre. Wounded with a machine gun bullet, Easton remained in action in the Argonne for three hours, at the end of which he was struck by four pieces of shrapnel, three entering his abdomen and one breaking both bones of his left forearm. These are but mention of two of the outstanding days in the many days of fighting that was done by young Easton while a member of the Eighteenth company, Fifth marines, of the famous Second division. At Chateau Thierry, for five days and nights, Easton was cut off from his company. The stand of this lone hero stands out as a superb exhibition of the never-yay-die spirit of the American soldier. At night he slipped out upon the battlefield and cut knapsacks and canteens from dead soldiers. On the fifth day just before dark a machine gun company of Germans attacked the group of trees in which Easton was hiding. Easton began firing from cover. His medal for marksmanship in camp was not for nothing. His shots counted. So fast did he shoot, the Germans thought they were up against a strong force. When twenty-five yards away the Germans surrendered. Easton ordered them to throw down their arms, and as darkness came on he marched them out of the woods toward the American lines. He knew not crowded by the auxiliary of the growers to clean up their remaining crop. We need a chance to handle the remainder of the crop carefully.

BETTER TIRES LESSEE ACCIDENTS, CLAIM Making a tire repair on the road has become a very simple operation in recent years. Such repairs have to be made at rare intervals nowadays because tires are so much better that the seldom break down and roads are much better that the danger puncture and blowouts is greatly diminished. The development of materials to make the repairing operation a simple matter has eliminated most of the discomfort of making emergency repair on the road. A LUCID EPITAPH E. S. Harte, agent at Gibbon, that at Ogallala in the old cattle farm there was a wooden slab in the cemetery in scribed: "ONE STRANGER He Wore White Spats in Ogallala — Union Pacific Bullet" CLAIM COUNTY FAIR TO BE BEST EVER HUNTINGTON BEACH, Aug. 24. The Orange-co fair executive committee states that the fair this year will surpass anything ever attempted before and they have secured tent space 100 pct. larger than last year. Particular attention will be devoted to industrial exhibits and it is expected that many of the exhibitors display their wares in Los Angeles the past week will exhibit in Huntington Beach. The dates set for the fir this year are Sept. 28, 29, 30, Oct. 1. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the opening of the fair. It is expected that Gov. Stephens will make the formal address at the opening ceremonies. Sept. 28 has been set aside as Governor's day; Sept. 29 as So. Cal.; Sept. 30 as School Children's day and Oct. 1 as American Legion day. The closing day will be carried out in a magnificent manner and will be a worthy tribute to the American Legion. In the Kennedy murder mystery, the well known police adage "find the woman," seems not to have been so difficult. There is pretty general conviction that they have found her, and that, even though she may not have been a principal in the crime, she has incriminating knowledge of it. On the fifth day just before dark a machine gun company of German attacked the group of trees in which Easton was hiding. Easton began firing from cover. His medal for marksmanship in camp was not for nothing. His shots counted. So fast did he shoot, the Germans thought they were up against a strong force. When twenty-five yards away the Germans surrendered. Easton ordered them to throw down their arms, and as darkness came on he marched them out of the woods toward the American lines. He knew they would overpower him in the dark, if he remained, so he took a chance on getting through. He did get through.
