H. S. VAUDEVILLE BEST EVER GIVEN An extensive program of varied and entertaining acts is billed for the Xmas vaudeville at the Annheim H. S. Friday afternoon and evening. The "Highland Fling" will be given by four H. S. girls. It is rumored this will equal any Harry Lauder acts. Helen Daily, of basket ball fame, "will fling," and with her will be Margaret McOmie, Floria Schneider and Florence Smith. In another set the setting is in old Japan. Gorgeous towns with brilliant lighting effects play an important part in this dainty set which will be featured by Ella Cook, Gwen-dolyn Wadsworth, Frances Adams, Emma Hunton, Ethel Easton, Tillie Clark, Leona Borth, and Marth Fischer. Leaving the Orient the audience will be brought into an Hawaiian setting in which four High school boys, Elvin Graner, Jack Royalty, Victor Rees and Donald Pannier, will entertain as musicians. In the garb of native islanders they will render something new in songs. American life, however, will be portrayed by several numbers among them "Fliverin," which promises to be a scream from start to finish. A genuine Ford takes the leading part with Kathryn Carawath and Jack Woods as its faithful servants. Kathryn Cravath will show some new methods of cooking over the radiator of the Ford while Jack will demonstrate some quick tire changing. On the last point there has been controversy for some time in regard to Mr. Ford's car but it will be shown. Woods claims, beyond doubt that it is possible. Rural observations by a city lad returned from the country will be given by the clever Jack Carroll. "The Old-Fashioned Garden" is scheduled as the most beautiful of all. There is an exquisite garden scene with two characters, the old-fashioned lover and his girl, ably taken by Maryn Ross and Gwen-dolyn Wadsworth. They are followed by the modern lad and his beloved. SAYS FARMERS SAVE LITTLE DURING LIFE CHICAGO, Dec. 13:—The farmer of today has on an average just $186 left at the end of the year to pay for education, doctor bills, recreation, repairs and other incidentals, President J. R. Howard of the American Farm Bureau Federation declared to the United Press. "This is the third successive year when the farmer faced a market returning prices below the cost of production." Mr. Howard said. Organized business must get be given in December by the tension Service located in number of tractors them and we demand for such interest in the Ana last year, been made for the last point there has been controversy for some time in regard to Mr. Ford's car but it will be shown, Woods claims, beyond doubt that it is possible.

They are followed by the modern lad and his beloved, Jack T. Royalty and Edna Heineman. Supplementing this act are eight of the schools, attractive young ladys dressed as flowers. The songs and dances they give are sure to make a big hit. A great deal of credit is extended the stage craft class for the excellent manner in which the stage paraphernia is handled. Miss Irene MacLean, at the head of the class, has supervised the construction of many new props and stage settings. This is only the second year of the stage craft class but it has done some remarkable work. Homer Wallace is the assisnt manager and Roscoe Ingram, stage manager. Johnny Feetham and Stewart, Jayne will have charge of the electrical work. The curtains will be under the supervision of Gerald Fergus, and Kenneth Mathis, and Albert Lopez will be in charge of the flies. The makeup girls are Ellia Cook and Frances Adams, and the costume mistresses are Hollie Waters and Lorena Poirre.

Howard of the American Farm Bureau Federation declared to the United Press. “This is the third successive year when the farmer faced a market returning prices below the cost of production.” Mr. Howard said. “Organized business must get behind a prostrate agriculture and aid it to reach a position of prosperity before a period of normalcy is restored. “The income of the six and one-half million farmers in the country totaled $10,976,000,000, according to the latest survey.

Just this last week two sixteen hundred barrel producers were brought. The Amalgamated Oil Company brought in one of the Miley-Keck wells at a depth of 4636 feet. The Miley-Keck producer is No. 4 and is making 27 gravity oil. The Holly Oil company duplicated the Amalgamated's producer with a 1600 barrel well at No. 1. The Holly Oil Company drilled No. 1 to 3400 feet early in the field's development and got only a small well. The success of the White-Behr Petroleum Syndicate showed the Holly Oil Co., what the territory was good for and immediate deepening followed. The getting of a 1600 barrel well marks the greatest success of the Holly Oil Company at Huntington Beach. The Holly's development work is under the supervision of Wm. Kummerer formerly field superintendent for the Amalgamated in the Brea and Olinda field. Oregon capital has located at Huntington Beach. The company formerly known as the Wing Oil Company has been re-organized and now bears the name of the Huntington Beach Oil Company of Oregon. Drilling is underway at 3100 feet and the interior is to go to the deep sand. The Huntington Signal Oil company the company that figured in the early development of Huntington Beach under the management of "Silent Joe Erwin is about to bring in a deep producer. The Huntington Signal has completed its No. 1 in the deep sand at close to 4400 feet. A good well is expected. The Shell Company of California has instituted a deep drilling campaign at Huntington Beach that practically includes all the wells drilled and put on production a year and a half and two years ago. All of the Ashton wells, two on the Davenport and the famous Huff well are among those on which work has already been made for holding. TRACTOR SCHOOL JAN. 29, TO FEB. 3. Six one-week tractor schools will be given in December, January and February by the Univ. of Calif., Extension Service. These schools are located in communities where the number of tractors used will warrant them and where there is a strong demand for such instruction. Due to interest in the tractor school in Santa Ana last year, arrangements have been made for holding. SOME EASY RULES FOR PUNCTUATION One of the first things that must be learned by the young man or woman who sets out to become a thoroughly competent stenographer is the proper use of punctuation. Morris W. Crohl, Ph.D., of the Department of English, Princeton University, has contributed an interesting and highly instructive chapter on this subject in The New Universities Dictionary being offered to the readers of this paper. Professor Crohl explains how the TRACTOR SCHOOL JAN. 29, TO FEB. 3. Six one-week tractor schools will be given in December, January and February by the Univ. of Calif. Extension Service. These schools are located in communities where the number of tractors used will warrant them and where there is a strong demand for such instruction. Due to interest in the tractor school in Santa Ana last year, arrangements have been made for holding one this year. A registration fee of $2.00 will be charged. The course will consist of lectures, demonstrations and practical work in adjustin, repairing and overhauling. About two hours each day will be spent in lecture demonstration, covering such subjects as gas engine parts and principles of operation, fuels, carburetor, magnito, cooling systems, lubrication, transmission of power, tractor operation, tractor management, adjusting, etc. Practice work will be given the remaining six hours in the shop. This will consist of shop demonstration in adjusting, timing, trouble shooting and overhauling of used tractors. The shop work will be divided into three parts: 1st, bench repair work on machines or tractor parts. Second, adjusting, timing and trouble shooting. 3rd, overhauling of used tractors. This course will cover a period of one week, commencing Monday morning and closing Friday evening. The date set for Orange county is from January 29th to February 3rd. As only a limited number of tractors can be overhauled at these schools, those wishing to have their tractors overhauled should list their application at once. VAST COAL LANDS OWNED BY U.S. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The United States Government is one of the largest owners of coal land in the world and also holds important reserves of phosphate, potash and other salts, according to the annual report of the Bureau of Mines. Although just at present, because of the prior development of mines and industries in the Eastern States, coal mining on the public domain is overshadowed by private industry, in the years ahead the leased mines may well become the more important. THE MAIN THING An old darkey got up one night at a revival meeting and said: "Brudders and sisters, you know an' I knows dat I ain't been what I oughter been. I've robbed henroosts and stole hawgs, and tole lies, an' got drank, an' slashed folks with mah razor, and shot craps, an 'cussed an' swore; but I thank the Lord der's one thing I ain't nebber done; I ain't nebber lost my religion." SOME EASY RULES FOR PUNCTUATION One of the first things that must be learned by the young man or woman who sets out to become a thoroughly competent steer-haper is the proper use of punctuation, Morris W. Croill, Ph.D., of the Department of English, Princeton University, has contributed an interesting and highly instructive chapter on this subject in The New Universities Dictionary being offered to the readers of this paper. Professor Croill explains how the number of punctuation marks in common use has gradually increased with the development of the art of printing. Through the use of these signs the meaning of printed or written discourse is rendered clearer to the eye of the reader. How and when to use each of the twelve marks now employed is fully explained, by Professor Croill, and the rules he lays down can be easily learned. The remarkable success which has attended this dictionary offer shows that the people of this city appreciate the opportunity given them to secure at a nominal cost such a valuable educational work. SNAPPY VAUDEVILLE PROGRAM THURSDAY CARNIVAL with MATHESON LANG Variety, gorgeous costumes, snapby songs and dances, whirlwind comedy, wonderful athletic feats and dazzling scenic effects combine to make tomorrow's vaudeville road show offering at the California-the early development of Huntington Beach under the management of "Slent Joe Erwin is about to bring in a deep producer. The Huntington Signal has completed its No. 1 in the deep sand at close to 4400 feet. A good well is expected. The Shell Company of California has instituted a deep drilling campaign at Huntington Beach that practically includes all the wells drilled and put on production a year and a half and two years ago. All of the Ashton wells, two on the Davenport and the famous Huff well are among those on which work has already commenced. The Standard Oil Company has two deep wells that will have something to say about the southeast section of the field before many days. Talbert No. 1 is approaching 4900 feet, and the long looked for Farnsworth well is ready to drill the cement out of the 4 1-4 at 4860 and test out. On the Huntington Beach property section B No. 12 at 4400 feet is showing considerable oil and gas and gives promise of a nice well. Huntington Beach has made tremendous advances—as an oil field during the past month and gives promise of hurrying Santa Fe Springs for second field production honors before the end of the year. The daily output of Huntington Beach climbed to 65,000 and there are enough deep wells nearing competition to put the figure up to 100,000 mark. Bellflower has become the center of attraction now and indications are more than assuring that will be Southern California's next oil field less than three months ago this section was not looked upon with much favor and considered somewhat a joke. The joke is now on the operators who are trying to get holdings in the field. The possibilities of comparative shallow production at Bellflower were shown by the ex- THE MAIN THING An old darkey got up one night at a revival meeting and said: "Brudders and sisters, you know an' I knows dat I ain't been what I oughter been.

CARNIVAL with MATHESON LANG Variety, gorgeous costumes, snapby songs and dances, whirlwind comedy, wonderful athletic feats and dazzling scenic effects combine to make tomorrow's vaudeville road show offering at the California theater one of the most unusual and interesting ever brought to this city, according to theater management. Talent known far and wide for their splendid presentations and versatility will be featured. Probably the outstanding attraction on the stage will be the world-famous Velente Brothers, among the nation's foremost accordionists. These lads present music that simply "knocks'em all for a goal" and they have a winning personality that at once stamps them as a great topline offering. Anderson and Goines billed as "Aces of Comedy" have an act that keeps their auditors in an uproar throut. Laughs predominate, and of course they finish in a fashion that is tremendous. Silver and Edna the novelty smash, serialists do feats of daring that takes the breath. Spinning, looping and otherwise disporting themselves hazardly, this pair will prove a sensation here. Cy and Flo in their nifty skit "Bits of Everything" are extremely versatile, too. They will prove big cards among the local theatergoers, and a treat is looked forward too from this dandy duo. Holly and _____? the Rube in his comedy "Alfalfa" is a sidesplitter for fair. Nuf Sed. The attraction upon the California screen will be that celebrated photo-play "Carnival". It is a picture, as the name implies, with the spirit of gavety dominating throughout, and with a superb cast portraying the wonderful characters, this picture should prove a winner. Tonight will see the final performances of Gloria Swanson in her newest feature "The Impossible Mrs. Bellow". She is supported by a magnificent cast of celebrities, and the drama is splendid to say the least. The added attraction is "A Songland Coatall" featuring Yvonne Farr, the popular diminutive soprano, with gorgeous effects as a background. TON BEACH WELL CLASS Oil Operators) Beach is getting into old class rapidly. Just two sixteen hundred were brought. The Oil Company brought Mille-Keck wells at a feet.

The white ribbon was holsted up beside the crescent as Mohammedan Turkey joined the few other nations of the world which now ban intoxicating laws. The Moslem prohibition law is the most drastic in the world. Any person found intoxicated must spend from three months to two years in prison; bootleggers must pay heavy fines and go to jail for long periods. A dry Turkey will make little difference to the peasant population as the masses have always abstained from strong drink, but the upper classes, who are fond of drink, are the ones to suffer. cellent showings of oil secured at 1300 feet, at 1700 and at 1860. As much as ten feet of sand was passed thru and it is believed this shallow showing would make a commercial well. It is the intention of the Cal-Petro Oil Producers Syndicate the pioneers of the Bellflower field to go on down and get a deep sand. The Calpetro expect to get a big producing sand at 2800 feet. Drilling is now at 2100 and it will not be many days before the Cal-Petro prediction will be verified. The Dolke-Thomas Syndicate met with good fortune a few days ago. The "fish" in the hole at 1955 has been-removed and drilling is now going merrily ahead at 2200. The delay caused a lot of anxiety as it looked for a time that the third hole would be lost. The Dolke-Thomas Syndicate is making one of the most determined efforts to get a well down an dnt production that has ever been made in the Brea-Fuller ton field and their efforts are worthy of the biggest well the field has ever produced. The outlook at Seal Beach has improved considerably in the last few days. The drilling is now at 4400 feet in shale mixed with sand that looks like oil sand. It is believed that if production is developed at Seal Beach it will be around the 4500 foot mark.

It is believed that if production is developed at Seal Beach it will be around the 4500 foot mark. The Seal Beach Oil Company is making a splendid drilling record and those who are backing the concern have the satisfaction of seeing their money go into successful hole making. The Pomona Oil Company's showings at 4828 attracted some attention last week. While the showings are only slight they are the only ones of any importance since drilling started. The Torrance field added another producer a few days ago when the Chansler-Canfield Midway brought in Torrance No. 2 at 500 barrel well at a depth of 3540. This is the biggest well in the field now.
