STATEMENT WAS WRONG, SAYS METZGAR SECRETARY OF ASSOCIATED CHAMEBERS CORRECTS RECENT ARTICLE IN LOCAL PAPER DECLARES THE OBJECT OF THE ORANIZATION IS TO WORK FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTY As statements appeared in an Anaheim paper of Oct. 30th and Nov. 6th asserting that the Santa Fe Farmers' special of Oct. 22 did not pass through Anaheim, and editorially commenting on the injustice done not only Anaheim, but "the Eastern Tourists," I deem it wise and only justice to the excursion committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce and the "Santa Ana" people criticised, to state most emphatically that the above described excursion did pass through Anaheim exactly as directed by officers of the Anaheim Board of Trade as follows: Leaving the Garden Grove road via the Royer place to Walnut street thence to Center street passing by the splendid high school buildings, the new hotel and other places of note, crossing Los Angeles street in the business district and via Center street to the Placentia boulevard. The entire trip was made as planned and as there were 36 automobiles in line and all the horns were blowing while passing through Anaheim, it is most surprising that they did not attempt at year. In the portion of the country east of the Rockies it puts in its appearance in Montana and North Dakota on the average early in September. By the middle of the month it has advanced in this region to South Dakota and has appeared also in Maine. By October, frost has advanced in the West to Eastern Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa, but is held to slow progress in the East by the reat Lakes. One month later, however, this opposition has been beaten down, and the frost front stretches from El Paso, Texas, across Oklahoma and Arkansas, through northern Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina and turns northward to near the southern tip of Delaware. The remainder of the southern march is much slower and it is December 20 before the farthest advance is registered along the Gulf Coast and across the lower end of Florida. DEFICIT DUE TO TARIFF REDUCTIONS That the depleted condition of the treasury is due to reduced tariff rates rather than diminished importations, is clearly shown by statistics which disprove the following statement recently made by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo: "Because of the decrease of imports on account of the war, we have had an enormous deficit. This deficit would have been vastly larger, however, if the old tariff bill had been depended upon. At least $130,000,000 would have been added to the deficit had the country depended on the old bill." That Mr. McAdoo, ignorantly or intentionally, misstated the facts will be apparent when the records of his own department are considered.

The entire trip was made as planned and as there were 36 automobiles in line and all the horns were blowing while passing through Anaheim, it is most surprising that they did not attract attention. However, it is well to remember that the enlightened communities of Orange county have long since outgrown and outlived the petty jealousies that recognize and cater to a divided Orange county, and I desire to state for the enlightment of those who sometimes imagine their own particular section is being neglected that in handling excursions through Orange county, time is always a matter of great importance. It has always been impossible to cover all of Orange county, so the next best thing to do is to do the best one can by giving the visitors a comprehensive idea of the wealth and magnitude of this wonderful section. After they leave, it is doubtful whether they will remember Orange or Anaheim, from Santa Ana or Fullerton, or whether the oil wells are in Newport Bay or on Santiago Peak; but they will remember Orange county as a wonderland and those who return to locate are just as liable to prefer one place as another as they invariable cover the entire county on their trip of personal investigation. Orange county is too small to partition off into a north and a south, or an east or a west, a Buena Park or a San Juan Capistrana, an Anaheim or a Santa Ana. Orange county is also too big in square miles or circumference, but in brain and citizenship to consider anything but an Orange county. It behooves us, therefore, one and all to get into our minds that Orange county is first and the rest of the world afterwards, and that excursions, whether they be large or small, they are entertained in the interest or Orange county, when they are handled by either the Associated Chambers or by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, both of which I have the honor to serve as secretary, and know where I speak. The area of Orange county is smaller than many cities—the interest on account of the war, we have had an enormous deficit. This deficit would have been vastly larger, however, if the old tariff bill had been depended upon. At least $130,000,000 would have been added to the deficit had the country depended on the old bill." That Mr. McAdoo, ignorantly or intentionally, misstated the facts will be apparent when the records of his own department are considered. For the nine months of the present year ended September, 1915, there were imported into the United States goods to the value of $1,302,000,000, in spite of the war. On these imports the government realized revenue in the sum of $148,224,997, or an average rate of duty on all goods imported for this period of but 11.3 per cent—about as close to free trade as could be desired by the most ardent free trader. For the corresponding nine months of the calendar year of 1913, January-September, under the republican tariff law, we imported goods to the value of $1,327,000,000. On these imports the federal treasury realized revenue in the sum of $242,624,859, or an average rate of duty of 18.3 per cent, the duties so distributed as to afford a fair measure of protection to all American industries and labor. Had this average rate of duty been collected on the imports for the first nine months of the present year, the government would have realized revenue in the sum of $238,266,000, or $400,000,000 more than was actually realized. For this period the low duty rate of the democratic law represents a monthly loss of $10,000,000 of revenue to the government. Bear this in mind, the anemic condition of the treasury is not due to decreased imports but to the fact that so many are coming in without paying a cent of revenue to the government. On September 30, 1913, after nearly seven months of democratic rule, the net balance in the general fund of the treasury was $123,000,000. On March 4, 1913, when President Wilson was inaugurated, this balance amounted to $149,000,000. The democrats were presented with a handsome treasury surplus on March 4th with which to set up housekeeping. The Underwood tariff law went on the statute books October 4th, 1913, business went to smash, and the revenues began to dwindle.

Hoping space will be given the above article in justice to all concerned, I remain, Yours for a bigger, better and busier Orange County, Associated Chambers of Commerce. Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. By J. C. METZGAR. Secretary. A STUDY OF JACK FROST The schedule of Jack Frost is being carefully tabulated by the weather bureau after he puts in an appearance, so that his movements may be anticipated even more accurately in the future. Already the bureau has shaddwed frost many times during its seasonal invasions and retreats, and knows pretty well what to expect of it. It has found for one thing that practically no spot in continental United States is wholly free from frost, but that in three regions the destructive drop in temperature occurs at such rare intervals as to be almost a curiosity. These areas are the southern quarter of Florida, a strip of the Colorado River valley extending about 10 miles north from the Mexican border and a stretch of the Pacific Coast of California. Frost, the weather bureau has found has much the same movements each augurated, this balance amounted to $149,000,000. The democrats were presented with a handsome treasury surplus on March 4th with which to set up housekeeping. The Underwood tariff law went on the statute books October 4th, 1913, business went to smash, and the revenues began to dwindle. However, due to the fact that republican rates on wool and sugar prevailed for a portion of that fiscal year, the treasury was able to limp through with but a small deficit on June 30, 1914. Will wool on the free list, the duty on sugar reduced, and millions of dollars worth of imports coming in free, things went from bad to worse, and the outbreak of the European war was instantly seized upon as a pretext for saddling the country with the war revenue measure. Every device known to a tricky bookkeeper was employed by Secretary McAdoo to make a good showing for June 30, 1915, and yet there was a huge deficit on that date. On September 30, 1915, the net balance in the general fund had sunk to less than $41,000,000. By a piece of financial ledger demand characteristic of Mr. McAdoo, the credits to disbursing officers and the national bank note redemptions fund were switched to the live asset column of the treasury statement and on October first, 1915, the net balance was inflated to $128,000,000, an increase of $87,000,00 over night. About the time Mr. McAdoo was making the statement to the people of Salt Lake, above quoted, a bulletin was issued by Secretary Redfield, which stated—"Duty free imports comprised 71.6 per cent of the total imports for September, 1915, and 61 per cent of those of September, 1914." That is the prime reason, together with the extravagance of the last congress, for the treasury deficit, and no argument of Mr. McAdoo, however ingenious can alter the fact.

BROKE THE WILL Drawing up a will that will stand the tests of the courts is generally admitted to be one of the hardest tasks confronting a man who realizes that some day he will leave this happy, rollicking world and who wishes to have his worldly possessions distributed in a manner prescribed by himself. Some, distrusting lawyers, attempt to draw up their own wills, with the result that after they are safely laid away the process of breaking the instrument begins and the lawyers fatten on fees. One of the latest schemes for drawing up a will has come to light. A rich man of Buchanan, Michigan, five years before his death, took the novel method of telling where his wealth was hidden and how it was to be disposed of by talking into a phonograph and having the record carefully filed away in a strong box. After the man had been gathered to his fathers, the relatives gathered at his late home to hear what the phonograph had to say. Despite the uncanniness of hearing a voice from the dead, there was rapt attention as the lawyer started to adjust the record. But, tripping over a footstool, the lawyer fell and smashed the record into a thousand pieces. Thus did the lawyers find a way of breaking the newest scheme in will making and the dead are again MAKING PREPARATIONS TO FIGHT JACK FROST Growers Along the Foot Hills Make Their Smudge Pots Ready With hundreds of orchard heaters loaded and ready for the match, the community contiguous to Pomona stands guard over a $2,000,000 citrus crop determined that Jack Frost shall not slip in and bite her. Four carloads of fuel oil have been emptied into the oil burners and each tree now has its own individual heating stove. The frost protective association has its storage tanks brimming full of oil and many private growers have filled their tanks as a precautionary step, lest a cold snap exhaust the visible supply of oil suddenly and leave their groves in danger. The valley growers intend to take no chances on a fuel oil drouth this winter. There were two nights of white frost last week. The thermometer has registered as low as 34 deg. at 4 o'clock in the morning, but it takes a sustained temperature of about 26 deg. to hurt the citrus fruit. Nevertheless the Frost Protective association is lining up its motorcycle riders and getting them ready for their nocturnal patrol work. All night long, throughout the winter, the motorcycle patrolmen ride the roads through the citrus belt, reading government thermometers which are scattered about at half-hour intervals, and ready to turn in a general alarm to warn the growers that they must hop out of bed and light their orchard heaters to protect the crop of golden fruit which hangs upon the trees. This community has a bountiful citrus crop in process of development. The number of fruits per tree appears to be about the same as it was last year, when more than $1,500,000 worth of oranges were picked from the trees in a space less than six miles square, but the new acreage, which is coming into bearing, promises to increase the revenue of the valley by at least $100,000 this winter. FORD AUTO FACTORY AT L. A. HARBOR A big plant for the manufacture of Ford automobiles is a future possibility for Los Angeles harbor, if suitable arrangements can be made for obtaining raw iron. This important announcement was made by Henry Ford, multi-million-away in a strong box. After the man had been gathered to his fathers, the relatives gathered at his late home to hear what the phonograph had to say. Despite the uncanniness of hearing a voice from the dead, there was rapt attention as the lawyer started to adjust the record. But, tripping over a footstock, the lawyer fell and smashed the record into a thousand pieces. Thus did the lawyers find a way of breaking the newest scheme in will making and the dead are again outwitted. THE PRESIDENT'S APPEAL In preparing his speech on preparedness, the president tried to anticipate criticisms he knew any suggestion for strengthening the military and naval defenses would provoke. This doubtless accounts for his dwelling more on the purpose of preparedness than on the details of the program which will be submitted to Congress. His speech did not convert the thick and thin pacifists, as is evidenced by the statement last week by Mr. Bryan. But Mr. Bryan's chief quality is stubbornness. He has often shown that he would rather be wrong than president. But the president's speech will convince the average citizen of the folly of drifting along without an army large enough to do necessary police work or enough trained citizen soldiers and officers to defend this country from aggression. This country has gone unprepared into unexpected wars and lost thousands of men unnecessarily. It may be driven into war again. Ordinary prudence approves the general policy outlined by the president. Fear of militarism in the United States has always been without foundation. Mr. Bryan got excited about it in 1900, when the country was asked to increase the standing army until there would be one soldier to each 800 of the population. But his bugaboo of militarism alarmed few citizens, although we believe that Mr. Wellington of Maryland quit the republican party on account of it. He made a speech in New York the night before election, dramatically announcing his firm belief that if William McKinley was elected next day this country would never again celebrate a Fourth of July. There has been smaller opposition still among citizens to creating and maintaining a first line of defense. Every party has always favored an ado- FORD AUTO FACTORY AT L. A. HARBOR A big plant for the manufacture of Ford automobiles is a future possibility for Los Angeles harbor, if suitable arrangements can be made for obtaining raw iron. This important announcement was made by Henry Ford, multi-millionaire founder of the biggest automobile factory in the world, after an inspection of Los Angeles harbor from the deck of a destroyer of the United States Navy. "We will have a factory here if we can get iron ore," said Mr. Ford. "We are investigating now, or rather have just begun to, with a view of ascertaining if we can obtain iron. If the investigation is favorable, we will build a factory at the harbor. "Los Angeles is a logical point on the Pacific Coast for the distribution of manufactured articles. If you only had iron in California there would be no limit to its development from the manufacturing standpoint. There is a low grade of iron in Utah which could be smelted here and with the unlimited oil at hand, the harbor would be an ideal place for our factory. This is the proposition which we will investigate fully and the factory will follow rapidly if the iron problem is solved satisfactorily. It is an ideal place for distribution both by water and rail." The "rube minstrels" who took part in the Anaheim band concert at the high school auditorium Tuesday and Wednesday nights of last week, were entertained by Miss Lucy Ziegler at her home on Clementine street Friday night. A "rube" lunch was given and the decorations carried out the idea. Music and singing were indulged in by the guests after lunch. FOR BACKACHE This condition is not often due to disease. Great fatigue causes it; great strain—as from lifting or tugging heavy weights. Exposure to cold and dampness will make the back ache. Trampling about the damp streets without having the feet protected by overshoes will give one backache, which though we believe that Mr. Wellington of Maryland quit the republican party on account of it. He made a speech in New York the night before election, dramatically announcing his firm belief that if William McKinley was elected next day this country would never again celebrate a Fourth of July. There has been smaller opposition still among citizens to creating and maintaining a first line of defense. Every party has always favored an adequate navy, although there has been considerable divergence in definition. Even Mr. Bryan does not favor abandoning the navy we now have, although he should do so in deference to logic. But our navy's inadequacy is apparent. It has some obvious defects aside from its size. We have too few practical submarines and no fast cruisers. eW are retiring vessels to the reserves because of inability to man them. Not enough attention has been paid to gunnery. The president is right in urging a continuing plan for strengthening the navy. Spasmodic attention to the navy will not do. The president's appeal is nonpartisan; he addresses all shades of opinion. It is too much, in light of the past to expect unanimous support. The irreconcilable pacifists will fight to the last ditch, no doubt receiving some support from factional enemies of the president. But the body of public opinion will be with the president on this question. The people know that they purpose no conquests and they cannot be deluded into thinking they do. AUTO ACCIDENT Two persons were injured when an auto turned over on the state highway eight miles south of San Juan Capistrano Monday. In the machine were W. C. Blee, formerly a contractor of Santa Ana and now an orchardist of El Modena, and his wife and daughter, Miss Edna Blee of Portland, Or., and Misses Louise and Gertrude Montgomery of Santa Ana. They were bound to the exposition at San Diego. The accident occurred at a sharp turn in the road. Blee, who was as painful as a throbbing toothache. Backache is often due to excesses. The common everyday home treatment of the ordinary backache is all that is required. A hot bath, a brisk rubdown with a rough towel, followed by a ten-hour rest in bed banishes the ache or pain of nearly every backache. This is especially true of the kind caused by exposure. If the muscles in the back have been strained (lifting, etc.) the bath, rest or a belladonna plaster over the most painful portion of the back is a good treatment. If the ache is persistent in spite of all simple measures taken to relieve it; it is advisable always to seek advice from a physician.

BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY Dennis Malone was blown up in a mine explosion, and after his friends had assembled the pieces on a stretcher, it was deemed advisable to send a messenger ahead of the bier to break the news to the bereft widow. Larry McCoy was appointed for the task, and readily consented. "Larry," said the foreman, "don't be too abrupt in telling her the terrible story. Lead up to it gradually." "Yis, sor," said Larry. "Don't be alarmed. I'll tell her in a roundabout way." Arriving at the Malone cottage Larry was ushered into the parlor by Mrs. Malone. "Nora, me darlin'," he said, "will you marry me?" "Why Larry," exclaimed Mrs. Malone, "are ye crazy entirely? You know I have won husband already." "Ye're a llar, Nora! The corpse is just comin' round the corner. Poor Dinnis was blown to pieces in the mine an hour ago." "Oh, then, Larry, I'll marry you, but it wouldn't be daycent to have the weddin' before the funeral," said the widow. Expert piano tuning, F.

They have appealed to the superior court for an injunction to prevent Page from allowing irrigation water to run along a ditch between their land and his. The complaint, filed by Atorney Clyde Bishop, states that the irriagition water has washed out a gully four feet across and six feet deep, and has taken away soil that belongs to the ranch of the plaintiffs. It is stated that unless Page is enjoined, he will continue to run water in the ditch and that further damage will be done. Who's Hazel? Your Druggist?
