This is the largest tent ever put up on the Pacific coast. Also, the Baby Welfare tent this year is 50x100, twice as large as last year. The art department is in a tent 40x80 compared with a tent 30 by 60 last year. Everything about the show is in the same proportion, much larger than last year.

ATTENDANCE OF 12,000 Manager Malcom Fraser Expects 25 to 50 Pct. Bigger Throng Today Yesterday's attendance at the Valencia Orange Show, estimated by Manager Malcom A. Fraser at 12,000, is expected to jump 25 to 50 per cent today as the show gets into its stride. Anaheim and her sister cities of the county provided the bulk of those who came Tuesday, but from now on Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Long Beach, San Diego and other cities of the Southland are expected to BABIES! LOTS OF' EM ARE TESTED Boy babies, girl babies, dark babies, fair babies, dozens of 'om, visited the baby clinic in the Baby Welfare tent at the Valencia orange show this morning, to show Dr. Robinson and Dr. Jackson that they are hearty, happy Anahim and vicinity tots, which couldn't be sick if they tried, under the careful direction of the welfare department clinic which is conducted each Friday morning in St. Michael's Guild hall. More than three times as many babies were there as yesterday, showing the increased interest in the clinic, and the desire on the part of the mother to be assured that her baby is being "well raised," or, if not, to learn where she may correct any defect. The men and women of the next generation were true little soldiers, very few of them registering great objection to the physicians investigation of teeth and throat, listening rather to the merry tales told he while. A little chap, however, whose first two names are Joseph Arthur, took the examining hand of the doctor in his own, and sternly said, "I'll tell my papa on you," but submitted to the remainder of the test quite graciously. Examining physicians tomorrow are Drs. Jackson, Anaheim; Crawford, Orange; and Robinson. Miss Keuhl announced there will be no weekly clinic in the guild halt on Friday of this week, on account of the work in the welfare tent, and that any messages for her may be left at the city hall, with which she is in communication many times each day.

Fraser at 12:00, is expected to jump 25 to 50 per cent today as the show gets into its stride. Anaheim and her sister cities of the county provided the bulk of those who came Tuesday, but from now on Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, Long Beach, San Diego and other cities of the Southland are expected to pour in this crowds. Manager Fraser voiced his satisfaction as the success of the opening day. The big exposition showed a different tone today. The last finishing touches had been put on the booths and exhibits, the crowds began to thicken and things became liveller. In the citrus fruit tent the interest of the growers intensified as the word was passed about that the judges might complete their work today. With the completion of the work of installing the exhibits in the industrial show, Anaheimers began to rub their eyes and awaken to the number of factories, small but promising, which the city possesses. The Anaheim Paint and Paper Company, for example, manufactures its own paint on its own premises. Only a sufficient market is needed to expand the business two or three fold. The Young Sash & Door Company, in addition to the usual products of a concern of the sort, makes picture frames and other smaller articles of the business. J. Ranker, blacksmith, manufactures on South Lemon street Ranker's ridger and blocker, a device almost indispensable in irrigating orchards. While many of the automobile shops are factories to a large extent. Fullerton, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and Orange, either as communities or through their chambers of commerce and similar organizations, are there with both feet in the industrial show. Fullerton's exhibit is particularly striking, consisting principally of articles connected with oil production. L. M. Railsback Company of Los Angeles is among the big tractor concerns that chose the industrial tent instead of the automobile section. The firm is exhibiting the Killefer sub-soiler, chisel or cultivator and power lift, and disc harrow, together with the Hardie sprayer. Allwork tractor.

Autos will leave Anaheim at 11 a.m. Saturday to bring the realtors back for Satur- day afternoon and evening at the show. The Los Angeles Reality Board is cooperating to make this a big feature of the easterners' visit to the coast. The boards of Fullerton, Santa Ana and Orange are assisting the local board in the Orange-co-tour, and will provide all the machines the members have but can muster only 50 or so. About 1,000 visiting realtors are expected in Los Angeles, with the more machines provided by Orange-co, the more of them can be brought out here. Hargrove. Phone Hargrove. No. one.
