Williams Bros. company reports
that during the past month its business
has greatly increased in Orange coun-
ty. it's principal operations being In
the Fullerton, Placentia and Anaheim
districts. So extensive has their bust
ness grown that they have opened up
an office at Anaheim, and the past
week have had three automobiles con-
stantly at work taking care of the
many clients who are locating in that
section
Fullerton is only twenty-seven miles
miles from Los Angeles and Is one OF
the prettiest foothill cities int South
ern California. There is not more
famous walnut and orange section In
California than the Fullerton Placen-
tia district. 1t is practically a frostless
belt, the soil is wonderfully rich and
productive, and the most important
feature is the abundance of cheap wa
ter One can drive along the many
beautiful roads of Fullerton and pass
miles and miles of the handsomest
walnut and orange groves to be seen
anywhere. There is no orange section
in California where the great Late
Valencia orange thrives as it does in
the Fullerton-Placentia section. Four
year-old groves are seen with wonder
full crops, and it is not an unusual thing
to see ten-acre Valencia grove five
years old with a $4,000 to $4,000 crop.
The Valencias in this section at four
and five years old look like seven or
eight year-old trees in other orange.
districts.
Anaheim Busy Town
Anaheim is one of the busiest towns
of Southern California, growing at an
astonishingly rapid rate, now having
a population of $500. The country all
around this modern town is developing
at a wonderful rate. Anaheim is only
two miles from Fullerton. and without
much doubt the electric lines will reach
Fullerton. Anaheim and connect with
Orange and Santa Ana within very
short time. 1t is generally conceded
that a buyer can get more Tor ms
money in the Anaheim district than IN
almost any other territory tributary to
Los Angeles, and the soil Is of the
richest in the state and water in abun-
dance and very cheap.
Among the sales made by this COM
pany the-past week were the following:
The Gibbs grove of twenty acres, half
in walnuts and half in oranges, about
fifteen years old. 1t is one of the
handsomest properties in the Fullerton

A CREED FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

While it is the law Of the land that
sectarian religious teaching is not per-
mitted in our public schools, the entire
absence of any religious instruction in
the public schools of Christian nation
is condition to be deplored by patrons
of all religious beliefs. The teachers
of the Wausau public schools have a.
dopted the following 'civic" creed,
copies of which have been distributed
among the schools Of that city for all
the children to learn:
"God hath made of one blood all ma
lions of men and we are His children,
brothers and sisters ALL We are citi-
zens of these United States, and we be-
lieve that our flag stands for self-sacri-
fee for the good of all of the people.
We want, therefore, to be true citizens
of our great city and we will show our
love for her by our works.
Wausau does not ask us to die for her
welfare; she asks US to live for her,
and so to live and so to act that her
government may be pure, her officers
honest, and that every corner of her
territory shall be fit place to grow the
best men and women to rule over her. =

WARNING ON FAKE STUMP REMOVER

Farmers are cautioned by the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station of the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin to beware of swindlers
who are selling a so-called chemical
stump remover. In their letter and adj
vertising matter this material is claim
ed to cause stumps to rot completely
within 80 days, if merely poured into
an augur hole bored two feet into the
stump. They claim that stumps have
been removed at cost of four cents
and five minutes labor per stump.
The Agricultural Experiment Station
has conducted tests on materials of this
character and has proven conclusively
that stumps cannot be rotted in this
manner. This fake was exposed by the
station a year ago, but many farmers
are still being deceived by these swind-
lers, according to evidence now in the
hands of the station authorities.

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE

by DIR. David Roberts, State Veterinarian l906-7-8
tuberculosis or Consumption in cattle
is an infectious and communicable dis
ease known by the formation in the
glands and other parts of the body of
small punches called tubercles. 1t is
from these tubercles that the disease
receives its name, tuberculosis. The
germs of tuberculosis enter the body
by way of the nostrils in the air
breathed, or by way of the mouth or
digestive tract in feed. AS soon as the
germs enter the body they begin to
multiply, slowly but surely, until the
entire body of the animal becomes
affected; such animals spread the dis
ease TO other animals stabbed with
them and calves or pigs consuming milk
from tubercGlous COW are liable to be-
come affected as are human beings.
All germ diseases, and especially tu-
berculosis, are more liable to affect ami
mails that are in run down condition
than those that are in strong, healthy
condition, for the reason that the ami
NAL that lacks vitality acts as q hot bed
for the germs of disease to propagate
and multiply, while the healthy, strong,
vigorous animal may ward off the dis
ease to some extent.
tuberculosis being largely a house or
stable disease, due to artificial life such
as being housed or stabbed, every pos
sible precaution should be taken TO pre-
vent disease. One tuberculous cow in
close, foul, hot, badly ventilated sta
Bile is liable to infect all other cattle in
the barn. To prevent and guard against
disease, it is necessary to maintain ab-
solute cleanliness.

MADE VERY SURE OF DEATH
English Lahorer's preparations for

Note of Pathos.

With no hope III life a Hull tEng.)
laborer named Joseph Lambert, made
morbidly elaborate preparations for
hanging himself recently. He was a
victim of cancer and having come to
the end of his slender savings, had

alternative to starvation. He lived
alone in cottage, and his self-execu-
ton was thus undisturbed. He built
himself a gallows at the stair-head.

beam was made OF two lengths of
stout timber, lashed together. Through
one OF these he drilled hole for the
rope, and beneath the cross-piece he
1mprovised a rude platform to answer
for the trap-doors, through which. at

preparations had plainly occupied him
some considerable time From appear
ances 1t is also evident that he had
read up the subject of hanging; he
had tried to gauge the necessary
length OF the drop by his weight, and,
when all was ready he had adjusted
the moose to his neck with the knot
behind the ear, as the professional
hangman is reputed to do to his sub
Ject. But careful as he was, he had
overlooked one imuortant point which
the hangman never forgets; testing
the strength of the rope. The result
was that when he performed the final
fatal act the rope snapped with his
weight. But the jerk at the end of
the drop had at the same moment full
filled its purpose and dislocated his
neck. He was found lying dead at the
foot of the stairs.

Grieg, as every one knows, is the
musical idol of all Norwegians, al
though it has been the fashion of less

One of the most indefatigable of these
detractors was the German composer,
Bargiel, a man of an instinctiyely
jealous nature.
One day one of his pupils, Nor
wegian girl, brought for her lesson a
concerto of Grieg's. Bargiel took it
from her with a smile of most supe-
rior disdain.
"But l told you to bring your mu-
sic, and Grieg is no music!" he said,
scornfully.
What! Greig no music! was

PAPER DRINKING CUPS

"For the well that they may Ike p
well, " several varieties of paper drink
ing cups have recently been placed on
the market.
While varying somewhat in appear
ance, these aseptic cups are necessarily
so simply constructed that there is
little real difference between them.
They are so inexpensive as to be ac-
cessible to any school child, and are
practical for business men and travel
ers, for when folded, the cup is easily
slipped into a vest pocket or lady's
purse.
One cup is made of heavy, water
proof paper, pressed to resemble ALI
gator skin. Two pieces of the paper,
cut little wider at one end than at
the other, and pasted together at sides
and bottom with flaps, make perfect
Dy fiat cup.
A more elaborate one comes in a
sealed envelope. 1t is made of heavy,
transparent paper, rendered water
tight by a coating of paraffine. Around
the top runs slender wire, loop of
which forms the handle. The bottom
of the cup is a round bit of cardboard
covered by the paraffine-treated paper.
When not in use, the wire rim is fiat
tened, bringing the sides together, and
the bottom is folded up toward the
handle, which closes down over it,
keeping the cup fiat. This cup holds
as much as an ordinary tumbler, yet
when folded, it is only two and one-half
inches by three and one-half and is not
an eighth of an inch in thickness.
There are drinking fountains in our
large cities where drink of pure wat
err and fresh paper cup can be secured
through the medium of a ''penny-in-the
SLOT machine. But until these become
much more numero IS, the paper cup
offers an easy escape from the germ
laden ones at public drinking places. =

10th grams gram of sea water. This
is only about one-seventeenth of the
value (16x10-14th) obtained by Jolly,
but agrees fairly well with the value
6x10-16th previously obtained by A. 8.
