SALVATION ARMY CAMPAIGN STARTS THURSDAY MORNING ADJT. GEO. E. GUIREY Field Representative The Salvation army home service campaign starts tomorrow at 9 a.m. Campaigners from different societies are conducting the campaign. This is a home service campaign, and all the money raised is for the work right at home. We do not have to leave our own door to find plenty to do. The Rescue Home for unmarried mothers received 112 last year, looking after them when sick and providing a home for mother and the newly born baby. The Salvation army boys' and girls' home and farm is essentially a home and not an institution, and this fundamental principal is perhaps the greatest factor in the success of this activity, founded over a quarter of a century ago. Here hundreds of boys and girls who otherwise would have been cast adrift or allowed to grow up under degrading circumstances have had the opportunity of whole some life and proper education and play in the great out-of-doors afforded by the 600 acres of land where this home is situated. The Salvation army's faith in children is vindicated in the success of young men and women in practically every walk of life, who received their early training under the care and guidance of this organization. W. H. Molland, chief probation officer of Los Angeles county, returning from a visit to our home, said: "The Salvation army home and farm is just a great big home; just a home, not an institution. If you want to make a man out of a boy, give him a house. If he cannot have it in the normal way with parents, let the Salvation army have him, because they supply it just as truly as though they were his real mother and father. If it were not for the Salvation army, the chaotic conditions of the present day would be a thousand times worse." Remember, the Salvation army is past the experimental stage. And the organization is prepared to give immediate service in any emergency. Many hours are spent by motherly souls, sisters of comfort and cheer, GERMAN VETS IN Nuremberg recently witnessed memorial parade of German World war veterans in honor of their comrades great struggle surviving vets FUR FLIES BEFORE FULLERTON BOARD Wow!

First Concert Oct. 10 FOR TICKETS BEFORE FULLERTON BOARD Wow! That's the way things sounded for a spell at the meeting of Pullerton trustees last night when representative citizens in the vicinity of the Los Angeles Paving Co. plant on East Commonwealth Ave appeared and said that the day of promises had passed for the abating of the alleged nuisance, and that they had given the matter to attorneys with instructions to proceed against the city for the abating of the nuisance. Promises had been made time and again, it is said, by E. R. Werdin, in charge of the plant, to move, and a new site had ostensibly been obtained in the city's new industrial tract, but several time limits for moving had been set and nothing came of it. Mr. Werdin said that he had been acting in good faith, but that the necessary spur track between the Santa Fe and U. P. railroads had not been put in, had been forbidden to be put in by the Railroad Commission without a franchise from the city, and that the city can't grant a franchise because they don't own the property. An adjourned meeting was called for tonight at which all those interested are urged to be present, and there will be an effort made to arrive at an amicable agreement. A petition was received from residents of Valencia Drive asking that the drive be graded between Richman and Highland-aves. The trustees agreed to open West Truslow-ave to these streets. Fred Fuller's bond for $100,000 as city treasurer was approved. Ornamental lights in the west end of the city were discussed, and it was said that 52 per cent of the residents of the west end were in favor of the lights, but that opposing blocks loomed between those favorable to the proposition. The license ordinance was introduced for the second reading, but passed to the adjourned meeting. The election ordinance calling a bond election for Oct. 15 to vote on a $200,000 bond issue for the building of a city hall and fire hall, was passed unanimously. Bills for the month were approved. LEADS IN AIR TRAVEL Americans lead the world in air travel, according to statistics just compiled by the French aerial navigation service. Of all the air passengers who left Le Bourget flying field near Paris during the month of July last, 47 per cent were Americans. The next largest number came from the British; 39 per cent. Only 6 per cent were French citizens. Plain Dealer Want-ads bring results. YORBA LINDEN Mr. and Mrs. B children left Mon two weeks' visit Sacramento.

MUNGER A number of new and important producers were completed this past week at Long Beach that increased the daily production of the field. As has been the case for almost the entire month past, the Shell Co. has led the field. On the Dobyns lease the Shell Co. completed No. I at 5218 and not a 2000 mile away. KELS CONFESSES TO HAYSTACK MURDER BUREKA, Calif., Oct. 3 — Alex A. Kels wealthy cattleman, officially "dead," was today enroute back to Lodi, where he is to face a charge of murdering an unknown man who was buried in his stead. Dramatically weakening early today, Kels, according to Sheriff William J. Riecks of Stockton, confessed having killed an itinerant worker, carried his body about for hours in the rear of his automobile and then burned it in a haystack. "I don't know who it was I killed," Sheriff Riecks quoted Kels as telling him. "He was a perfect stranger to me. I got him at Lodi for the purpose. I have always paid my bills and come clean and I will come clean now. You fellow have had it all figured out pretty well. "I was heavily insured and I thought that was the best way to clean up. I figured my wife would get the insurance and that I would never see her again. I figured she would get over the shock and be comfortably fixed and I planned to go to Mexico." "The man I killed was a perfect stranger to me. I took him over to my ranch from Lodi and made a pretense that the windmill was out of order and got him out of the car. Then I shot him in the back with a .32 calibre revolver." "He groaned but didn't fall and I shot again. Then thinking that he might still be alive, I got a heavy iron and hit him over the head a couple of times. Then I put him in the car and tucked the laprobe over him and drove around for several hours. I went to Galt and visited a service station and bought a supply of gasoline. Then I went back to the ranch and after dark I drove to the Lang Ranch about 15 miles away." It was there that the body and machine were burned. Kels, the cheriff said, told how he placed the body and the car against a hay stack and in the darkness piled hay around it. He used a candle to start the fire, timing it, he said, so he would have opportunity to escape. YORBA LINDA, Oct. 3 (Special). Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Renneker and children left Monday by motor for a two weeks' visit with relatives at Sacramento. Mrs. Charles Vernon of Santa Barbara was a week-end guest of Mr. M. Vernon and Miss Barsha Vernon. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Knight motorized to Huntington Beach Saturday and visited relatives. Mrs. Olive Coffin of Whittier is a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnson. Howard Brown and Vasco Mills of Whittier left Monday for a four day's hunting trip. Miss Romero of Long Beach, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Ross Knight, returned to her home Friday. Joe Prather has gone east on a trip and W. Prather is occupying his house during his absence. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Morris entertained out-of-town guests at their ranch home on Sunday. Mrs. Lillie Miller visited friends in Whittier the latter part of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Taylor returned Monday evening from a delightful motor trip to Santa Barbara and vicinity. The ladies of the Y. L. Woman's club will meet Friday at the local clubhouse and start working on articles for their Xmas bazaar. A pot luck dinner will be served at noon. An executive board meeting will also be held during the afternoon. A large attendance is looked for. Rev. Burton Y. Neil preached to a large attendance on Sunday evening. The Methodist church has enjoyed a wonderful growth and prosperity since Rev. Neil has been in charge, and it is to be regretted that the Methodist conference saw fit to send him elsewhere. Next Saturday evening in Ley hall will be held the first entertainment of the Lyceum course. All proceeds, after these five entertainments are over, will go toward a community plunge, and it is to be hoped that the citizens will come forward and boost Y. L. These entertainments will be held about once a month, and admission at the door will be one dollar. The season ticket for the course of five (5) entertainments may be purchased for $2. The local chamber of commerce, Y. L. Woman's club, Masons, Eastern Star churches, and farm center are behind this thing, and are determined to make a financial success. Yorba Linda needs entertainment for its young people. A plunge would be ideal. Have you purchased your ticket yet? "APOLOGY HEIRESS" GETS PART WEALTH MUSKEGON, Mich., Oct. 3—Mrs. Bethea Linderman Gilmour "anology" Increase Faith in L. B. Deep Drilling By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER A number of new and important producers were completed this past week at Long Beach that increased the daily production of the field. As has been the case for almost the entire month past, the Shell Co. has led the field. On the Dobyns lease the Shell Co. completed No. 1 at 5218, and got a 2000-barrel well. The Dobyns producer completed in the deep zone increases the faith in the deep drilling of the Long Beach field, and seems to point to the place from which the future production of Signal Hill is to come. Interest in the Shell Co.'s Connett 1A increases as the well goes down. Drilling is now close to 5000 feet, and there are sufficient indications present to insure a commercial producer. The Connett will have something to do with the future development of the southeast section of the field. The General Petroleum Corp. is not to have the coveted honor of the deepest oil producer in the world at Long Beach. Mechanical troubles compels the well to be put on production at 5015 instead of 6000 feet, as originally planned. At 5972 the mechanical troubles that halted the drilling could not be overcome, and resulted in the recovery of the hole to 5015. It seems that there is some danger of bottom water, as the K. and H. 2A put on production at 5500 feet had to be killed, and further water shutoff work done on it. The world record deep Clock well would have probably developed the same trouble. Among the new producers of importance completed at Long Bear recently are the Atlantic Petroleum Syndicate's Meltyby No. 1, Dabney No. 17, Getty's No. 7, Leonard-Jones No. 1 and Sacha and Co.'s No. 1. The Atlantic's Maitby No. 1 was completed at 4370, and is making about 2,000 barrels. Dabney's No. 17 was drilled to 5000 feet and came back a 2000-barrel well producing clean oil. Geo. F. Getty's No. 7 drilled to 5215 seems good for 2500 barrels. The Leonard-Jones Interests' No. 1 at 5055 is doing 1500 barrels. The Bay Hills Oil Co.'s No. 1 at 4237 is still held up with some water trouble, and will probably necessitate a re-cement job. The Hall-Weber Syndicate has abandoned No. 1, losing 3780 feet of hole, and will devote its energies to making No. 2, now drilling at 3800, a successful producer. The Pan-Pacific Petroleum's No. 2 at 4465 failed to make a flowing well and has been put on the pump at 250 barrels.

BUILDERS EXCHANGE MEETS AT DINNER The Builders Exchange of Orange co met last evening at the Elks club, Anaheim and after a very enjoyable dinner, the subject of a Unified Building Code for the various cities of Orange-co was introduced. Various members of the city councils of Santa Ana, Fullerton Orange and Anaheim and also members of the special committees appointed by the various councils to revise the building code were present and expressed their views. All spoke in favor of a unified code, so that construction in Orange-co would be the same in all the various cities. It was pointed out that this would mean greater protection to the building public and more uniform and better work upon the part of the contractors. The point was again emphasized that the Builders Exchange stood for efficiency and integrity in building and for the protection of the building public. The lien law was also discussed and the lack of knowledge on the part of the building public to its essential parts was shown. A resolution was passed to devise ways and means of bringing to the public attention its various provisions. Other interesting talks were made by visitors along different lines of building. The next meeting place will be announced later. Nomination of officers for the coming year will be made at the next meeting.
