DESTRUCTION OF YUCCA THREATENED Yucca plucking on the hillsides of Southern California is reaching serious proportions when police officers of the entire west are asked to take a hand in the matter. A movement has been started by officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California to secure the cooperation of various boards of supervisors in the southern counties in preserving the yuccas for the light of eastern motorists. Yucca blooms but once in five or ten years, and then only in certain sections of Mexico and in Southern California. At this rate it is being picked and cut by motoring parties there will soon be no yucca at all in this section of the continent, says the Auto Club, and therefore definite action must be taken in the matter at once. It is pointed out. Every yucca plant that is pulled up and carted home by a motorist destroys just about 100 future yucca plants, explain botanists, and at the present rate all yuccas will be destroyed within two years. In a letter to the Los Angeles county supervisors, the Automobile Club points out that motorcycle police officers should be instructed to stop all auto parties carrying yucca which they have cut from the hills, and say to them they are depriving the state of one of its greatest natural wonders. It is a patriotic move to preserve the giant white blossoms for future generations, but action must be immediate, say the authorities. It is further pointed out that the yucca wilts and shivels up as soon as it is picked, and cannot be kept in a residence because of the hosts of ants it attracts. Therefore it is better left in the hills. NEW CHEVROLET MANAGER HERE Ever watchful in rendering service to meet the needs and requirements of local Chevrolet owners, Frank P.

HUNTINGTON BEACH OPENS PRODUCERS Two of the old line companies increased the daily output of the Huntington Beach field 2000 barrels during the past week. The big success was scored by the Union Oil Company with a 1200 barrel well on the Brooks lease. Brooks No. 1 completed at 3900 feet stands for the deepest producer doing over 1000 barrels at Huntington Beach. The Brooks well is the biggest well the Union Oil Company has yet gotten at Huntington and is practically the Union's first and only success. It will be remembered that the Union pioneered the extreme east side with a 5000 foot well on the Newlands lease. Nothing of any importance has as yet been found along the extreme east boundary of the field. The Union brought in another nice well on the Hill Community lease at 4471. The Hill well started off softly.

The down and listened NEW CHEVROLET MANAGER HERE Ever watchful in rendering service to meet the needs and requirements of local Chevrolet owners, Frank P. Taggart, northern Orange-co dealer, has secured A. E. Dennis, an automobile man of wide experience, as manager of the Anaheim organization. Dennis hailed from Santa Ana, having been connected with Chevrolet forces in that city. Dennis states that Chevrolet cars are so good that they are selling themselves as fast as they can be obtained and that his energies at present will be devoted to building a complete service department. As a part in shaping these plans a service man will always be at hand to render aid when owners are in trouble and a full line of parts will be carried in the stock room so that they will be available at a moments notice. WITHIN REASON Just as the guards were loading his client away, the lawyer stopped and shook hands sadly with the recent defendant. "I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you, old man," he apologized. "Don't mention it, sir," replied the prisoner politely. "Ain't five years enough?" The Brooks well is the biggest well the Union Oil Company has yet gotten at Huntington and is practically the Union's first and only success. It will be remembered that the Union pioneered the extreme east side with a 5000 foot well on the Newlands lease. Nothing of any importance has as yet been found along the extreme east boundary of the field. The Union brought in another nice well on the Hill Community lease at 4471. The Hill well started off making oil and water and will probably make a 600 barrel well when it settles down. The Hill well is the deepest commercial producer in the Huntington Beach field and draws oil from a sand almost a thousand feet deeper than ever produced from before. The Huntington Beach field owes something to the Union Oil Company for its pioneering and discovery work. That the Amalgamated Oil Company has faith in the future of Huntington Beach can be adjudged by the fact that this company has just brought in a 500 barrel well and located seven new wells. The Amalgamated completed Miley-Keck No. 9 at 3670 and brought it in a 500 barrel well producing 27 gravity oil. The new wells located by the Amalgamated are on the Miley-Keck leases and the numbers run from 17 to 23. Huntington Central stockholders will only be a time until the fright will be a production with water for a ful shut off was made the 6½%.

They hissed him right off the stage. Then I came on. The audience quieted down and listened to my first number with every attention. Then, just as I was giving 'em my patter, blowed if they didn't start hissing old Harry again."—"Punch." will be interested to know that it will only be a matter of a short time until the famous No. 2 well will be a producer. After battling with water for months a successful shut off was made at 3595 with the 6½%. It is the intention to drill on to about 3640 and put the well on production. It is believed that at this depth the Huntington Central will get into the sands that made the Rio Bravo Irish No. 1 a big well. Much credit is due Wm. Wellman who has so successfully recovered the well from difficult mechanical troubles and succeeded in shutting off the water. The Petroleum Midway's Pearce No. 1 made a premature flow of 350 barrels and looks like a good well. The flow of oil came when the cement was drilled out and a water test made at 3236 the well started to flow and made oil at the rate of 350 barrels. It is the intention to go ahead and drill deeper into the sands before putting the well on final production. The Standard Oil Company added a 100 barrel well to the field by completing Huntington A-9 at 2664 and putting it on production. The much watched Thompson well has not proven a big success by any means yet. At 3493 there seems to be considerable water trouble, a difficulty the Standard has been working for several weeks to overcome. Co-operation must be the keynote in industrial life, or there will be continual discords. About five years ago the corporation determined to build a large, modern automobile plant at South Bend, with a production capacity of 500 cars per day. Construction engineers and production experts made exhaustive investigations and studies of the construction, equipment and methods of numerous modern plans throughout the United States, and incorporated in the plans for the South Bend plant every improvement and practical device for economical production developed by this investigation. Commodious space and equipment are procured in the new plant for the laboratories, experimental department and engineering department, where research experiments, and numerous tests are carried on daily by a large, able staff of engineers and chemists. The latest heat-treating and carbonizing equipment and machine shops are provided. Shops for open and closed bodies are also included, together with a warehouse with storage capacity of 3,000 cars. There are ample railway and track facilities for shopping. A large recreation hall with theatre is provided for employees' and dealers' meetings. The Detroit plants of the corporation continue as heretofore, producing Studebaker cars in large quantities. The South Bend plant is an addition to the capacity of the corporation. The baby trees in our forests today must furnish the lumber and other forest products for our children since at the present rate of consumption our existing forests will meet the building program for only about sixty years. Fires must be kept out of the forests and from logged-off areas, however, if these young trees are to become big trees. A million and a half people visited the forests of California last summer for recreation. Forestry officials point to this fact as a reason why care should be used with fire so that our forests will not lose their attractiveness. Half of the standing merchantable timber remaining in the United States today is to be found in the three states of California, Oregon and Washington. The Civic club will hold a special meeting followed by social hour at the Y. M. C. A., Friday, June 9th, at 2:30. All members are urged to attend.

Center Phone 649J New Durant Factory Soon in Operation Within the next 30 days the factory of the Durant Motor Co. of California of Oakland, will be in operation. It will add wealth not alone to the community in which it is located, but to the whole Pacific Coast, for the 4800 partners in the enterprise live throughout the entire territory, from Canada to Mexico. The plant is being erected at a cost of nearly $100,000, and has 300-000 square feet of floor space, with an annual capacity of 20,000 cars. It will furnish employment for from 800 to 1000 men in the factory and an office force of over 200. The total payroll will be well in excess of $2,000,000.00 a year. The Durant factory is unusual in a number of ways. One of the officers recently remarked that it is one or the few factors in existence that is "built to fit a car." Generally the factory has been built first, and the floor space requirements figured out in the area available, often making operations cramped and cumbersome, making additional and unnecessary costs of manufacturing. But at the Durant factory, the engineers know before they designed the building just exactly how much space each operation would require. They figured it out so the material could be unloaded at one end of a long wing, where the operations could be performed one after another in the most efficient manner as they proceeded down the straight line of the assembling room. The chassis materials are assembled on the first floor, while the body work is done on the second floor, at the same rate of speed. When the completed chassis arrives at the end of its assembly line, the completed body is ready to be lowered on it and made fast. Then the complete Durant is ready for the testing room. Here it is tuned up by expert mechanics, who see that it is in perfect running order before it leaves the house. From there, the cars are rolled to the loading docks just outside, or to the adjoining warehouse. Mrs. Richey's clever posters added much to the advertising features.

A special meeting will be held this afternoon at 2:30 for installation of officers and arranging for the annual picnic. An extra excursion to the "Valley of the Moon" may also be considered at this time. THE A.E.F. THE INSIDE STORY of the United States army in the recent world war has just been told by George Pattuillo in a weekly magazine. According to Pattuillo, the allies made every effort to prevent the Americans going into action as an American army, but sought to use them as replacements in the English and French armies. General Pershing consistently opposed this, and backed by Secretary of War Baker, who was led to be influenced, won his point and put into the field a real American army that made history. The story is doubly interesting because it shows the diplomatic methods of the European nations. It is also a tribute to both Pershing and Baker for standing for that they believed to be right—and what proved to be right. It is a glorious chapter in American history.
