BEGIN DERRICK ON VALLECINTO WELL That high expectations are entertained by many oil experts that a new field will be uncovered in the vicinity of Compton, is declared to be evidenced by the vigor with which the Globe Petroleum Corp. C. C. Julian and other oil seekers are proceeding their operations in that territory. Almost every day reports of new centuries come to hand. The Globe people, who recently acquired the oil drilling rights on the 260 acres at Vallecinto, fronting on the Riverside-Redondo-blvd, just east of Long Beach-blvd, a few days ago began the erection of the derrick for Vallecinto Well No. 1 and are reported to have made splendid progress. Under their contract, the Globe corporation agrees to begin drilling operations within 30 days after derrick is completed. Because of the intense interest that is felt on every hand in the marvelous progenas So. Calif., has made an oil-producing region, there has been created a mistaken impression, in some quarters, that Vallecinto is being developed as an oil proposition. To correct this misunderstanding, the selling agents desire it to be understood that the owners of Vallecinto intend to carry out their long established plans to create a new community—perhaps a new city—on the site of the property. Those plans were formed, it is said, long before any question arose as to the leasing of oil rights, and it is said, long before any question arose as to the leasing of oil rights, and it is the intention of the owners to carry them out in their entirety unless another Signal Hill or Santa Fe springs is uncovered. It is pointed out by the selling agent, that purchasers of lots at Vallecinto will be protected against any loss that might come to them from the necessity for oil development through the agreement that all lot owners shall participate in all oil royalties on wells drilled by the Globe Petroleum Corp. on the 260 acres of the property. It is understood that if it is shown THREATEN DISMISSAL (By International News Service) WASHINGTON, April 25.—Whole sale dismissal of employes of the United States Veterans' bureau thrust out the county unless petty personal controversies are wiped out and disabled soldiers are cared for efficiently was threatened this afternoon by Brigadier General Frank T.

"The total lemon shipments from the state this year, according to the figures on this estimate will be in the neighborhood of 10,150 cars of 400 boxes each. This is a smaller estimate by 375 boxes than that given as of March 1st. "Orange and grapefruit shipments for the entire season will reach a total of 51,240, it is believed, which with the lemon shipments, give a grand total of 61,390 cars (400 box cars) of citrus fruit shipped from California this season."

NO LOT TOO SMALL NO LOT TOO LARGE Bae Pierre Brookhart, famed Indian Mentalist, who opens a limited engagement at the United Theatre tonight. Brookhart comes direct from the local theatre from an extended engagement on the Pantages effervescent and opens an Orpheum tour in June. He is conceded to be one of all mentalists now appearing before the American public. Announcement is made by Manager Murray of the United Theatres of a special engagement, starting tonight, of Bae Pierre Brookhart famed Indian Mentalist. Brookhart has appeared over all of the principal vaudeville circuits of the country and opens an Orpheum tour late in June. He is the man who in 1912 successfully predicted the great war of 1914 and in November of 1912 the Occult Research Gladiator published this prophecy which at the time started students of psychology. Last week in Los Angeles Brookhart predicted another world war in 1930, basing his prophecy on the 13th Chapter of Revelations in the Holy Bible, and during his local engagement will explain the process of his reasoning in making this startling declaration. Brookhart is conceded to be the most remarkable mentalist before the American public today. While he claims no supernatural powers he does claim to be able to read the mind and tell, with uncanny exactness, coming events in the life of the person whose mind is read. Unlike most mentalists of the vaudeville stage, Brookhart does not require his audience to write questions they may wish to put to him. He simply reads their minds from the stage and answers the question as he interprets it. How he does it he does not pretend to know, but for two solid weeks he packed the Laughlin theatre in Lang Beach and followed with a similar run in San Pedro, where he appeared at the California theatre. In securing Brookhart for a limited engagement in this city Manager Murray is to be congratulated. Bae Pierre Brookhart is assisted by the Princess Parillo, and will appear twice each evening. The first performance will be given tonight in conjunction with "Pawned" a feature picture which yesterday attracted almost capacity business to all performances. There will be no increase in prices.

Agricola, Guatemala will become Another Anaheim, California "Not long ago I could have bought land around Anaheim for $250 an acre that now sell for $5,000 an acre." How often have you heard Anaheim people make such statements? That? How they now regret their failure to grasp the opportunities but were within their reach! When they had that opportunity Anaheim was in the process of development into one of the most productive regions in the whole world—productive of real wealth. Another opportunity is now presented to You to buy at $250 an acre and reap the great profits which are made in the development of fruit producing lands. Anaheim was once a desert waste—cactus and sage brush. Not a thing grew that was of any use to mankind. Then the pioneers came and transformed the desert into what Anaheim is today. No need to describe Anaheim orange groves—they are the best in the world. Even at present selling prices of $5000 an acre and upwards, they are a splendid investment. $5000 an acre! Who would have believed it ten years ago? And still going strong! But other fruits than oranges and lemons bring big returns to the owners of producing lands. Do you know that the pineapple crop of the Hawaiian Islands brings returns of thirty millions of dollars a year? The man who started that pineapple business in the Hawaiian Islands was a former Anaheim man, Mr. Leonard G. Kellogg. He left Anaheim about twenty-five years ago and located in Hawaii, where he began growing pineapples on a commercial scale. He ultimately had over 800 acres in pineapples. That property today is worth millions of dollars, if it could be bought at any price. Twelve years ago Mr. Kellogg returned to California. Eager for new worlds to conquer and subdue, he went south into Mexico. Being a peaceful man, revolutions were not much to his liking; so he went further south—into Guatemala, the first Central American republic south of Mexico. There he found the natives growing a few pineapples in a primitive manner, but not on a commercial scale.

That property today is worth millions of dollars. If it could be bought at any price. Twelve years ago Mr. Kellogg returned to California. Eager for new worlds to conquer and subdue, he went south into Mexico. Being peaceful man, revolutions were not much to his liking; so he went further south—into Guatemala, the first Central American republic south of Mexico. There he found the natives growing a few pineapples in a primitive manner, but not on a commercial scale. He also found cocoa nuts growing wild. Four years of pioneering in that country gave him a vision of another and greater pineapple industry than that of Hawaii. Also he found that coconuts, properly planted and cared for, would prove very profitable. PINEAPPLES AND COCONUTS He found on the Pacific coast of Guatemala the land which he knew, from his experience of twelve years in Hawaii and four years in Guatemala, was right for pineapples, and which was also suitable for coconut. He bought twelve thousand acres of that virgin soil. Then others—some of them Anaheim men—joined him in the enterprise, and they bought other large tracts of land. Thousands of acres have been cleared, plowed and planted. As soon as the land is cleared and plowed, the first thing is to plant out the coconut palms 42 to the acre then, the first year corn is grown between the rows of the coconut palms. Two crops of corn are grown in one year—and big crops too. That brings the land into a good condition for the next step. The second year, pineapples are planted between the rows of coconut palms. The coconut palms begin to bear in about five or six years. The pineapples give a crop of about ten tons to the acre a year after planting, and they do not need re-planting for four or five years. A big, valuable crop each year without re-planting. Pineapples and coconut! Two crops produced on the same land in the same year and year after year! The combined gross returns from the two crops, after the coconut palms come into full bearing, will run from $500 to $1800 an acre. The cost of caring for and harvesting these crops is very small. There is no irrigation, as the rainfall is about sixty inches a year—over our times as great as here. There is no fumigating. There is no pruning of trees. There is no "snudging" as the temperature never goes below 50 degrees. Nor does it ever go above 95 degrees. This land surrounds the townsite of Agricola, which is ten miles inland from the port of Champerico, where the steamships call on their way from San Pedro to the Panama Canal. A railroad owned and operated by Americana, passes through Agricola from Champerico to the rapiñi city of Guatemala in one direction, and to Mexico City in the other. You can go by train from Los Angeles to Agricola. Retainuleau, a city as large as Anaheim, is inland about seventeen miles from Agricola. $250 AN ARCE—PRODUCING CROPS The land around Agricola, Guatemala, is being sold today for $250 an acre, with a contract which guarantees that the company, of which Mr. Kellogg is president, will clear, plow and plant the land to coconut palms and pineapples.

You continue to live in California, if you so desire, and have the company look after your land, plant, harvest and market your crops.
