PER CAPITA COST OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT ALAMEDA THE LOWEST AND ALPINE THE HIGHEST OF CALIFORNIA COUNTIES ORANGE STRIKES AN AVERAGE WITH A TOTAL OF $24.90 PER HEAD According to figures taken from the State Tax Commission's report for 1916, Alameda county pays the lowest per capita tax for county government in the state, being only $11.98 for each man, woman and child in the county, while Alpine pays the highest—$43.99 per head. Orange county strikes a fair average, with a cost of $24.90 per capita. However, comparing these figures with the population it shows that Alameda taxpayers paid $3,714,748 to run the county government, during the year 1916, it cost Orange county a total of $1,300,527, while Alpine's total was only $7,514. The population of Alpine county is 198. For comparison, the fifty-eight counties are grouped as follows: Counties over 100,000 population—Alameda, population 309,954, per capita cost of county government, $11.98; Los Angeles, population 771,247, per capita cost $16.76; San Francisco, population 514,560, per capita cost $24.56. AFTER THAT, THE DELUGE Already the turning back process of diverting the labor employed in supplying war materials to the production of articles of trade and commerce has begun in Great Britain. The high water mark has been passed making British guns, shells and all kinds of ammunition for the Allied crimes. England now faces the large problem of diverting this production into new and useful channels, by which the nation will again supply the outside world with goods, thus diminishing the steady outflow of gold and checking the decline of the British exchange rate. There are now 4,623 private factories and works, ordinarily employed in various useful kinds of metal production, which have been taken over by the government and are now "controlled" works. These are in addition to the regular government factories. There are 2,250,000 employees working in these "controlled" and government factories making exclusively guns and shells. This enormous production has now reached a point where the equipment of the army is approximately complete in some of the main lines. This return to the production of the merchandise of peace will greatly increase the volume of British exports. It is only a beginning. When with the advent of peace, a similar change in the employment of millions of workers now engaged on war materials and supplies shall have occurred in all the nations now at war, the surplus available for export must reach enormous proportions. After that, the deluge of imports that will be invited into our own market by the low tariff.

ORANGE COUNTY IS HOME OF AVOCADO Popular New California Fruit was Developed Here That Orange county has played a large part in the introduction of the avocado is shown in the January monthly bulletin of the California state commission of horticulture. A short discourse on the history of the fruit is given, which shows its first mention in the United States to have been in 1856, when reported by the State Agricultural society. Its only production at that time was at San Gabriel. The next mention is found in a short historical sketch which shows plantings at Santa Barbara. But these plantings were not on a commercial basis, rather for private use. The commercial history begins in the early nineties, but it is not until the present century that any organized plans for marketing the tree or its product are found. C. P. Taft of Orange planted avocado seeds on his place in 1899, and the start made at that point resulted in many other plantings in this county. The original trees of many varieties are still standing in this county. Bartley Brothers of Santa Ana have a tree known as the Bartley avocado, which has become popular in market circles. The original tree, now standing on the Bartley ranch, bore thirty six fruits in 1916. The Beauty, another favorite comes from the original tree on the C. P. Taft place at Orange. The tree is now 15 years old. Other brands, equally well known among the avocado growers, are: The Brodia, original tree on C. P. Taft place, Orange. birds. The report urges the importance and necessity of retaining as breeding grounds for water fowl and other birds tracts of land which are not especially valuable for agricultural purposes. The area of marsh land necessary for breeding grounds is insignificant, it is said, in comparison with the benefits which will accrue to the public through the increase in our supply of game birds.

The mammal reservations include the Montana Bison Range, the Wind Cave preserve inSouth Dakota, the Niobrara Reservation in Nebraska, the Elk Refuge in Wyoming and the Sullys Hill game preserve in North Dakota. The Niobrara reservation was intended as a bird reserve, but has been stocked with big game and is a present maintained chiefly for buffalo and elk, according to the annual report of the chief of the biological survey, just issued. In the first three reservations mentioned the herds of buffalo have shown a notable increase since their establishment a few years ago, says the report, and now include 207 head, or more than a third of all the buffalo which now belong to the government. The elk number about 160 and the antelope 40, making a total of about 400 head of big game a sharp pain caught me in the small of my back and I could hardly straighten up.

VALUABLE INVENTION The Hawaiian sugar production will be increased 3½ per cent if the invention of J. N. S. Williams of the islands comes up to its present promises, according to a special report received by the department of commerce. The invention consists of machinery to recover approximately half of the 8 per cent of sucrose or unformed sugar which under present processes remains in the molasses. Sugar manufacturers have long been working on schemes to prevent this waste of sugar but the government report says that Williams' invention appears to be the first workable plan. His invention also simplifies the whole method of producing sugar. Under his plan one operation takes the place of three as at present in recovering sugar. Williams has been experimenting two years on his new process. He worked on the theory that water prevented the elusive 8 per cent of sucrose from crystalizing. His process, therefore, begins with the boiling out of all the water from the final molasses. This done a centrifugal machine is used, running at extremely high speed. This separates the sucrose crystals. The new invention is expected to prove of tremendous value to the Hawaiian sugar industry. GREAT HORNED REPTILES Those who have seen a skeleton of the great extinct reptile Triceratops—the dinosaur (terrible lizard" with the three horned face," or better still, a good restoration of the animal as it was in life, or a vivid picture such as the painting by C. R. Knight, now in the National museum at Washington, have undoubtedly marveled at the huge, unwieldy bulk of the creature, its massive limbs, ponderous body, and character of the animals. In the last few years enough fine skeletons have been found to extend knowledge of them notably, and a number have been described and named. Among the new forms of horned dinosaurs recently discovered is that chiefly for buffalo and elk, according to the annual report of the chief of the biological survey, just issued. In the first three reservations mentioned the herds of buffalo have shown a notable increase since their establishment a few years ago, says the report, and now include 207 head, or more than a third of all the buffalo which now belong to the government. The elk number about 160 and the antelope 40, making a total of about 400 head of big game. The number of bird reservations was increased during the year by the addition of the Big Lake reservation in Arkansas. Sixty seven reservations are now maintained primarily for IN ANYTHING YOU COOK requiring milk you'll get much better results if you use ours.

Anaheim Sanitary Dairy 116 South Claudina Street. Those who have seen a skeleton of the great extinct reptile Triceratops—the dinosaur (terrible lizard" with the three horned face,—or better still, a good restoration of the animal as it was in life, or a vivid picture such as the painting by C. R. Knight, now in the National museum at Washington, have undoubtedly marveled at the huge, unwieldy bulk of the creature, its massive limbs, ponderous body, and particularly its enormous skull with two stout curved brow horns, rhinoceros like nasal horn, parrot beaked jaws, and great spread of bony cape over the neck and shoulders. This reptile reached a length of over 20 feet, and its skull from the tip of its beaked jaw to the edge of its frill, as the bony cape is technically named, was as much as 8 feet long. Yet it was probably a sluggish, stupid creature with intelligence of a very low order, for its brain, in proportion to its skull, was among the smallest known in backboned animals. Other horned dinosaurs that were quite as large and peculiar lived during the same period. One of these, Diceratops lacked the nasal horn but was otherwise much like Triceratops. Another large form Torosaurus had a thinner frill with two large openings through the bone, though these were concealed in life by muscular tissue and skin. Besides Triceratops and its relatives earlier and probably ancestral types of ceratopsian (horned face) dinosaurs have long been known to science. The primitive forms were as a rule smaller and less bizarre; they possessed much smalelr frills and mere stumps of brow horns, though they had well developed nasal horns. For a long time the fossil remains of these dinosaurs were not understood, but collectors eventually found enough parts of skeletons to give an idea of the appearance and character of the animals. In the last few years enough fine skeletons have been found to extend knowledge of them notably, and a number have been described and named. Among the new forms of horned dinosaurs recently discovered is that known as Brachyceratops (short horned face) which lived ages ago in northwestern Montana. This reptile walked on all fours but had much shorter front legs than hind legs. Its back was covered with a mosaic of small horny plates set close together in the skin. The tail was heavy and long enough to drag on the ground. The head had short beaked jaws, a single stout, short horn on the nose, and two knobs representing the brow horns. A short bony frill extended backward over the neck to the shoulders. The best specimen known is the remains of a young one, but at that it was 8 feet long and stood perhaps 3 feet high at the hips. Although it must have been an odd and unattractive beast, though not nearly so formidable in appearance as some of its later relatives. NATIONAL FORESTS ENLARGED Acting under the authority of a special act of congress approved Sept. 8, 1916, the president has, on recommendation of the secretary of agriculture, signed a proclamation adding approximately 50,000 acres to the Whitman National Forest, Oregon. The lands involved are situated on the divide between the John Day, Powder and Burnt rivers in east central Oregon. Over 4,000 acres consists of timber lands which were included in patented entries.

The canceled claims carry a total estimated stand of nearly 46,000,000 feet B. M. of timber. Much of the other land included in the addition is privately owned. It consists largely of cut over timberland, on which the timber growth is rapidly reproducing. One portion of the act of congress authorizing the addition provides especially for the exchange of government timber for privately owned lands in the Whitman national forest which may be chiefly valuable for the production of timber or the protection of stream flow. Several applications for exchange of this character have already been submitted. USES OF THE SOY BEAN The soy bean, which already is one of the most important cash crops of Asia and which promises to take an important place in the agricultural industry of the United States, may be utilized in a greater number and a greater variety of ways than almost any other agricultural product. The whole beans may be utilized for food as are the seeds of other legumes, or the oil alone may be consumed. The oil resembles that of cotton seed in many ways, but is of a more pronounced drying character. In addition to its availability as a food, soy bean oil has found important uses in the markets of the world for making paints, varnishes, soaps, rubber substitutes, linoleum, waterproof goods and lubricants. It is also used in the Orient for lighting and in the manufacture of printing ink. In Japan the soy bean forms one of the most important articles of food in use. It is one of the principal ingredients in the manufacture of soy sauce, bean cheese, bean curd, and a great many other uses.
