Forbes, Poultryman, CYPRESS IN ARMS OVER VANDALS Vow to "Shoot to Kill" If Depredations Are Pursued Further Westminster Man Tries Rice Culture Rice, which might result in a new branch to the already full reportoire of Orange-co. agriculture, will be tested out at Westminster this coming year. With the co-operation of H. F. Basse, the Farm Bureau will conduct a test plot to determine the adaptability of rice to climate and soil. RICE has been grown in that section for duck feed for several years, but it never matured. This rice, however, was continually under water and it is thought that should the "paddys" be drained at the proper time the grain would harden. The rice in the duck ponds grows wild now and attains a phenomenal growth.

Forbes poultryman located one mile north of Cypress bearing a disturbance among chickens about 3 o'clock this morning went out to investigate and found one of his coops broken into. He hastened back to the house and armed himself with a shot gun. On returning to the coop he heard men running and opened fire at the noise. Mr. Forbes fired six shots and the thieves returned two. The men had a light truck in waiting about an eighth of a mile away and fled. After daylight Mr. Forbes recovered three bags full of chickens that the thieves dropped on the way to the truck. The loss so far as Mr. Forbes is able to ascertain was three or four hems that were killed at the hen house. Just one week ago Mr. Elani, only a mile and a half from the Forbes place, lost 400 young heens. The poultrymen are up in arms and some chicken thief is going to receive a warm reception some evening. BAVARIANS MAY SEIZE U. S. ZEP (By Minott Saunders) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) (MUNICH, Nov. 8.)—Bavarian national coupists have planned to commandeer the giant zeppelin ZR-3 which is being built for the United States Navy, according to a report in circulation here today. The mighty airship is nearing completion at the Zeppelin works at Friedrichsharen. The Bavarian government is taking steps to frustrate the conspiracy, fearing complications if it should be carried into effect. The Friedrichicharen official of the Zeppelin company are being closely guarded by police. The company is most anxious to complete the airship and land it in the United States after a trans Atlantic voyage to add to its prestige. The Zeppelin rights and patents were recently bought by a group of United States capitalists. The German officials of the company are anxious for construction of zeppelins to continue without K. K. FOUNDER WILL PROBE SHOOTING ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 8.—When Colonel William Joseph Simmons, founder and present emperor of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and Dr. Fred H. Johnson, his chief of staff, returned to Atlanta from Birmingham today they announced they would use all the force of their organization in ascertaining the motive for the slaying of William S. Coburn, their attorney. They also said they would ask for a renewal of the peace warrants which Dr. Johnson swore against Dr. Hiram W. Evans and three of his assistants, and which were dismissed because of absence of the complainant. Simmons charged Imperial Evans was in hiding and challenged him to come back to Atlanta and uphold the principles of the organization. "I was greatly shocked when I learned of the tragic death of Captain Coburn," Simmons said, "and if I had been imperial wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and my publicity director had committed such a flagrant and outrageous and hideous of H.

Rice has been grown in that section for duck feed for several years, but it never matured. This rice, however, was continually under water and it is thought that should the "paddys" be drained at the proper time the grain would harden. The rice in the duck ponds grows wild now and attains a phenomenal growth. "It may be too cool for rice in this section," says Mr. Basse, "but I am willing to bet the use of an acre of ground, and take care of it myself, that I will get a crop. Anyway the land will be better for the experiment and most anything grows well here in Orange County." Fruit growers and packers watch with interest a water shipment of five carloads of lemons started for New York this week by the Calif. Fruit Exchange. The consignment is on a new bed which guarantees delivery in days. This compares with the present rail delivery of 12 to 15 days. Under government control rails it required 17 to 18 days. However, the phase of the project that appeals mostly to growers is the rate of 60 cents per hundred pounds, compared with the present rail-rate of $1.72 and the new rate effective about Decl 1, of $1.55. As a box of lemons weighs about 90 pounds, this makes them tariff on a box of lemons to New York only 54 cents, a saving more than a dollar under the present rail rate. The Exchange has been shipping lemons by boat all season. The present consignment is out refrigeration, that not being necessary in winter. The fruit first was cured. The Exchange today announces the latest Florida orange estimate at 12,000,000 boxes, a reduction of a million from the last previous report. Florida fruit now going forward is of very poor quality and the last of the Calif. valencia crop is selling advancing prices. The valence market last week was 27 cents—a box higher than the week previous while sales Monday of the week were another 31 cents higher than last week, making the average f.o.b. price $3.79 for a grade. The Exchange has 30 more cars of valencias to sell. The export pool was so successful this year that a larger export business will be attempted in the new fiscal year. This last year the Exchange realized a profit of $3829.70 over the market price here for 45 cars of citrus fruit shipped to London. It is planned to ship at least 100 cars abroad this coming season. The new export committee includes Elysabeth Eygabroad, Anaheim; W. Hart, San Dima; R. L. Knox Pomona; W. E. Sprott, Porterville, and J. S. Edwards, Redlands. HEAR ARGUMENTS ON R.R.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—Congress will be asked to appropriate a power-fleet of new revenue cutters and motorboats to chase rum smugglers, it was learned at the treasury department this afternoon. The administration plan calls for more than 200 additional boats to be operated under the coast guard. The coast guard's recommendations, for new ships and additional personnel are supplemental to regular budget estimates of $11,000,000 for ordinary operations. New rum boat chasers planned will include: Twenty additional sea-going revenue cutters, cruiser type, to serve as bases for large fleets of motorboats. Two hundred and three motor-boats, cabin cruiser type, for use in shallow water. Ninety one small motor boats for emergency use at Coast Guard stations. With the approval of President Coolidge, officials supervising prohibition enforcement will ask congress to finance this expansion of coast guard operations. Under the coast guards regular budget estimate of $111,000,.000 officials plan to put in service at sea a large number of coast guard vessels from the existing fleet. New appropriations will be used to equip many such craft tied up at different ports for repairs. Congress also will be asked by the administration to authorize the use by the government against rum smuggler of rum smuggling ships seized by government customs officers. The new plan for enlargement of rum boat chasers makes no provision for attacks from smugglers on the river boundaries of Mexico and Canada. Operations of this sort are left to the land froces of the prohibition unit. This coast guard plan will be presented to congress from the regular budget estimates of government expenditures which are transmitted early next month.
