TO SAVE THE WASTE In the manufacture of citrus fruit by-products, the orange growers and packers of California now see the elimination of a vast amount of waste that in former years had been considered unavoidable. A portion of the fruit from every orchard fails to pass the standard packing and marketing test, and is discarded at the packing house as "culls." A large portion of the fruit which will not stand shipping, to the inexperienced eye is good fruit. It is good fruit, but not good enough to stand transportation. The citrus fruit by-products are manufactured from the best of the so-called "culls." To encourage the by-product industry, now practically in its infancy, the National Orange Show, to be held at San Bernardino February 18 to 25, will inaugurate a by-products department, the board of directors has now decided. Manufacturers will control one section and housewives another. Through the manufacture of the by-products, such as marmalades, desserts extracts, candied fruits, flavorings, vinegar and salads, hundreds of thousands of dollars annually will be saved the growers. GHOULS OF CHARITY PUBLIC Auction of Citrus Fruit FIRST ATTEMPT WAS MADE IN LOS ANGELES MONDAY AND WAS A SUCCESS FOURTEEN CARLOADS DISPOSED OF AT GOOD PRICES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR The first public auction of California citrus fruit in California for cash, to be paid within 24 hours after purchase, an experiment in the marketing of oranges upon which many have laid great hopes, was held Monday in the basement of the Hollingsworth building, Los Angeles, by the California Fruit Auction Company. Fourteen carloads of "golden apples," fresh from the trees, were sold for $9,700. The oranges sold were represented by sample boxes on exhibit. The cars of fruit were actually traveling on various transcontinental lines toward Chicago, Kansas City, Duluth, and other distant points, having been carefully inspected by the official inspectors of the auction company before shipment and guaranteed as to condition. The purchasers may by telegraph divert the cars en route where they desire. This saves time in marketing. About 700 men gathered at the auction, of whom 30 were active buyers for many eastern brokers. The 14 carloads offered were quickly at an National Orange Show, to be held at San Bernardino February 18 to 25, will inaugurate a by-products department, the board of directors has now decided. Manufacturers will control one section and housewives another. Through the manufacture of the by-products, such as marmalades, desserts extracts, candied fruits, flavorings, vinegar and salads, hundreds of thousands of dollars annually will be saved the growers. GHOULS OF CHARITY Investigations in Los Angeles recently developed the fact that a large percent of the money contributed to charitable institutions in that city was being pocketed by the officers and that very little of it was ever devoted to the cause for which it was contributed by the charitable people who opened their pocket books and contributed to the fund. Worse than those who strip the dead are the ghouls of charity—they who prey upon the funds contributed by the benevoleht for the relief of the sick, the poor and the suffering. Shocking revelations of grafting upon these funds have been made as a result of the investigations of the Municipal Charities Commission—such as travels in Europe paid for out of mites contributed to the poor box, and titles to property wrenched by and for personal greed from distressed applicants for public aid. The abuses and "on-the-make" methods shown to have existed at the Bethlehem Institution were most shocking; and the exposures of wrong-doing in the Associated Charities were almost as bad. Further revelations are to come and will place one of the so-called religious institutions in a bad light. The offense of pilfering from the moneys raised for the sad and needy is so much worse than ordinary thievery that it would seem proper to provide a special penalty for it. Thousands of dollars have been filmed from these funds in Los Angeles; thousands intended for the hungry and unwashed have been diverted to pockets of bosses and officials and hangers-on; thousands have been used to maintain a horde of job-holders in idleness. Not more than 20 per cent of the moneys contributed for charities in that city in the past ten years have been properly expended. The deeper the Municipal Charities Commission delves into these outrages, the worse reports it will make. It is an inquiry taken up none too soon. On with it! Before the Associated Charities or any organization of its kind can hope to secure hearty co-operation from our citizens in the future, it must furnish of fruit were actually traveling on various transcontinental lines toward Chicago, Kansas City, Duluth, and other distant points, having been carefully inspected by the official inspectors of the auction company before shipment and guaranteed as to condition. The purchasers may by telegraph divert the cars en route where they desire. This saves time in marketing. About 700 men gathered at the auction, of whom 30 were active buyers for many eastern brokers. The 14 carloads offered were sold quickly at an average price of $699 per car. The cars varied in the number of boxes contained from 400 to 384 and most cars held 396 boxes. There was a difference in grades, which the inspectors had noted on the catalogues given every one present, so that all buyers knew exactly what they were buying. All bids were oral and made publicly as the auction progressed. Most of the cars were bought by three firms. Mayor Rose sold the first carload at $2.10 a box amid applause after a speech wishing the new concern great success. Then the professional auctioneer, Charles W. Irrgang, who has sold fruit in New York and Chicago for years, took up his work. A torrent of ringing metallic words poured from his lips like the clang of hammer on anvil and at this business-like demonstration the crowd pushed forward. Mr. Irrgang leaped into his race with time at full stride and before the throng knew it, he had sold his first carload of 396 boxes at $1.85 per box. The next auction will be held Wednesday morning. Manager F. H. Speich of the company said that he considered the first auction a great success and the prices satisfactory, everything considered. He said there would be keener competition as the business progressed. Three auctions a week will be held until January 1 and thereafter daily auctions, as the fruit ripens rapidly in Southern California at that time. At present there is a limited amount of oranges which have attained their full golden color. The fruit displayed in its pretty tissue wrappers and gay boxes presented a fine sight. Each box was numbered and tagged so that all could see what lot it represented. THE OUTPUT There is no harm in making money. Even keeping it when you get it is of no particular injury to your health and character. It is the "love of money" which makes it the root of all evil. Of course men do a lot of things they ought not to in order to get it, but the way they spend it is often a caution.

Not more than 20 per cent of the moneys contributed for charities in that city in the past ten years have been properly expended. The deeper the Municipal Charities Commission delves into these outrages, the worse reports it will make. It is an inquiry taken up none too soon. On with it! Before the Associated Charities or any organization of its kind can hope to secure hearty co-operation from our citizens in the future, it must furnish evidence of better methods and better management; it must place its operations upon a business basis and we believe it would be a good plan to submit them to municipal supervision. Again, we are inclined to the belief that the funds should be raised by some form of taxation, instead of by uncertain and hit-or-miss methods, by asking innocent school girls to accost strangers in the public streets—or by inducing concert-hall dancers to display their charms in automobiles. The business of philanthropy has been so woefully misdirected that a noble cause has suffered and must suffer from the distrust and disgust aroused by these mistakes and crimes. There must be a complete change of methods and the public must be convinced that grafting is impossible, ere the public pocket will be accessible. The public is generous, but it resents the abuse of its generosity. God be praised for the open hand of the giver—but God protect us from the ghouls of charity!

THE OUTPUT There is no harm in making money. Even keeping it when you get it is of no particular injury to your health and character. It is the "love of money" which makes it the root of all evil. Of course men do a lot of things they ought not to in order to get it, but the way they spend it is often a caution. If people wanted to live well and were willing to stop there, nobody's money would ever hurt them, but when they use it to buy everything that prevents living well it breaks them up in business. Before a man gets plenty of money he has an appetite that is worth a fortune. After he gets the fortune and buys the things he doesn't need he would cheerfully give it all for an appetite. It is the nature of man to always get what he wants when he can't use it and to be without it when it would do him the most good. This is because he never discovers that he wanted what he had until he has lost it and that he does not want what he buys until it is paid for. "ALONE IN THE JUNGLE" Manager Bilger of the Fairyland theater announces the following excellent special features: Thursday, December 4—Lubin's two reel feature, "Home, Sweet Home." Friday, December 5—Selig's new wild animal tragedy in two reels, "Alone in the Jungle," the year's foremost feature film. A thrilling, vivid and gripping romance laid in the dangerous, animal-infested Jungleland of Africa. An extraordinary story of fascinating allure, replete with exciting situations. This picture stands in a class by itself—absolutely without a parallel—a triumph in the production of wild animal motion pictures. Saturday, December 6—Vitagraph two-reel feature, "Deer Slayer." SUTHERLAND HAD HEARING YESTERDAY Minister Arraigned Before Justice Cox For False Registration The preliminary examination of Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland, charged with false registration, came up in Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. Sutherland registered with registration clerk C. E. Jones after they had been notified by the court that naturalization papers previously filed were defective and the case would have to be continued until the error was rectified. A blank was left in Sutherland's affidavit of registration which was intended to be filled in later provided he received his citizenship papers. The affidavit was turned over to Deputy County Clerk Joe Backs and Sutherland stood on the record as having registered as a citizen of the United States while he was still a subject of the British crown. Sutherland was represented by Williams & Rutan, and Cornelius W. Pendleton of Los Angeles, assisted District Attorney L. A. West in the prosecution. STATE KELP BEDS MOST VALUABLE California Legislators Will Ask Appropriation For Mapping the Beds The kelp beds of the Pacific may in a short time replace the immense supplies of potash used in the manufacture of American fertilizer, practically The Fact Remains No amount of misrepresentation by the peddlers of alum baking powders, no juggling with chemicals, or pretended analysis, or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of any kind, can change the fact that Royal Baking Powder has been found by the official examinations to be of the highest leavening efficiency, free from alum, and of absolute purity and wholesomeness. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable for making finest and most economical food.

Representative Kahn today received a letter from Acting Secretary of Agriculture Galloway, in reply to an inquiry Kahn had made concerning utilization of the kelp beds, in which Galloway declared that the kelp on the California coast alone could be made to produce one million tons annually of potassium chloride, which would equal all the potash salts imported from Germany and consumed as fertilizer in the United States every year. The department, during the past two summers, said Galloway, has made a survey of the California kelp beds and now needs an appropriation of $8,000 to make maps of the beds for the use of persons who might wish to engage in the industry of turning kelp into potash salts. Senator Poindexter of Washington has been interested in the project and will confer with Kahn on the plan to get an appropriation for the maps through congress at this session. Representative Hays, in whose district the largest supplies of the big seaweed exist, will introduce the bill for an appropriation. Kahn and Hays are now preparing the bill. HIGH WATER MARK Orange shipping reached high tide for the 1913 season when five trainloads of fruit left the Porterville district for the East, three of the trains going out over the Southern Pacific route to the north while two trainloads were routed via the southern gateway. Cold nights have resulted in bringing out the color on the fruit with great rapidity and with the most ordinary care in packing for the remainder of the season there is no danger of marketing imperfectly-colored goods. Practically all pickling is being done for size in view of the glut of Atlantic seaboard markets with small sizes in tropicals. As a result of this care despite the daily shipments of 100 cars more satisfactory prices have been maintained and thus far no returns have been quoted at less than $2.50 f. o. b. STOP THE WAR AND BEAUTIFY CITIES MONEY USED ON ARMIES SHOULD BE DEVOTED TO CIVIC IMPROVEMENT TWO EUROPEAN EXPERTS TELL HOW AMERICAN CITIES CAN BE BENEFITED How to save the world the ruinous cost of war, and of armed peace; and how to prevent overcrowding in American cities and make them beautiful, convenient, comfortable, and fit places for human beings to live and rear families in—these two significant social problems of the day were discussed by two recent European visitors at the University of California. These men from across the Atlantic were B. N. Langdon-Davies of the Garton Foundation of London, brought from Europe as visiting lecturer by the American Association for International Conciliaction, and Dr. Werner Hegemann, of Berlin, eminent authority in the new science and art of city-planning. That every English household contributes not less than a dollar a week in taxes toward military expenses was the declaration of Mr. Langdon-Davies. And ten million people in England have insufficient food, he asserted—a fourth of the population. "Armed peace," he declared to be bankrupting the world. He maintained that in these days of the international division of labor, of vast international trade, of a delicately adjusted international credit system, that the whole world is vastly harmed by a war, non-combatants as well as principals, and the winner of the war no less than the loser. Japan, for instance, was victor in two great recent wars—and today, he asserted, half the earnings of the ordinary Japanese family go for taxes, enormously increased because of interest on war debts and the cost of maintaining armament. His appeal is for general thought and discussion and the formation of local peace societies, in order to build up a public opinion that will support disarmament between nations, international conciliation, and the use of war power on some basis of an international police force to lick the bad-small-boy country into good behavior. He believes the great nations have no conceivable sound motive for attacking one another, that no genuine bene- JUST MENTIONED A FACT Billy, aged four, often called on his nearest neighbor, Mrs. Brown, who petted him a great deal, and usually gave him a couple of her nice cookies. And if she happened to forget to pass them out he sometimes reminded her of it. His father learned of this and chided him for begging, and told him he must not do so any more. Last year, just before Christmas, Billy came home with cooky crumbs in evidence. "Have you been begging cookies from Mrs. Brown again?" asked his father, rather sternly. "No," said Billy. "I didn't beg for any. I just said this house smells as if it was full of cookies, but what's that to me?" Celery and cauliflower are at the present time being shipped regularly from the Orange county peatland district to the East. The recent rains have been extremely beneficial to the celery crop, which now has an excellent appearance. The variety being sent out is the Golden Heart, which is the early crop, the Green Top being shipped the latter part of the season. County Horticultural Commissioner R. K. Bishop has gone to San Jose to the State Fruit Growers' Convention to invite that body to hold its 1914 convention in Santa Ana. The Chamber of Commerce, City Trustees and Board of Supervisors are backing Bishop in the invitation. Notice Special Election Proclamation STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF ORANGE.

ORDER SIXTEEN SHIPS That orders have been placed for the construction of sixteen oil-carrying ships for the General Petroleum Company, according to a statement of Captain John Barneson, managing director of the company, is the gist of recent advices from New York. Barneson has been in that city awaiting Eugene de Sable, who was expected to arrive from London the end of last week. Upon the arrival of De Sable it is expected that he and Barneson will start for San Francisco. Barneson has been away since last spring, while De Sable left for Europe about two months ago. The purpose of their trip was primarily, to make arrangements with Andre Weir, chief London stockholder of the General Petroleum, for financing the company. Of the sixteen ships that have been ordered, twelve are to be motor driven. They will be ready by the time the Panama canal is open, and will be used in carrying oil through that waterway to European ports.
