SOUTH WILL GAIN IN SENATE AND ASSEMBLY RE-DISTRICTING WILL ADD TO OUR MEMBERSHIP IN BOTH HOUSES OF LEGISLATURE WHAT WILL BE ORANGE COUNTY'S FATE WHEN NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS ARE MADE? When the new apportionment of Senators and Assemblymen is made at the forty-fourth session of the Legislature, Southern California will benefit more than any other section of the State, according to estimates made by Secretary of State Jordan. Instead of only twenty-three Assemblymen, the seven southern counties will have thirty-two, and the number of Senators will be increased from eleven to fifteen, or possibly sixteen. The apportionment will be based upon the census for 1920, which it is estimated will show a total population in California of 3,500,000 and in the seven southern counties of 1,250,000. Of course, the biggest increase in the south will be in Los Angeles county, which ten years ago had a population of 504,131. Next year the population in Los Angeles county will be nearer 800,000. There are eighty Assemblymen and forty Senators, and upon a basis of a total population of 3,500,000, the new CALIFORNIA FOOD STOCKS ARE LARGER Amount of Products on Hand in the State Is Causing Inquiries as to Why the Prices Do Not More Generally Decrease The fact that the food stocks on hand in California are much in excess of stocks held at this time last yead is causing inquiry as to why prices do not go down. In fact, in a few cases prices have already begun to decline, notably in the substitutes for wheat flour. When the government removed the restrictions on wheat flour, the flours that had been used as substitutes for wheat, such as harley flour, rice flour, oat flour and similar cereal substitutes, dropped, and have now gone down to 4½ cents a pound, whereas they were formerly as high as 10 cents a pound. To what extent these products have gained a permanent place in the family diet because of their enforced use during the war, authorities say that it is too early to determine. Ernest O. F. Ames, president of the Pacific Cooperative League, states that many have come to like these foods, and will continue their use, but that the supremacy of wheat as the staple flour is not threatened. One other food that ought to go down soon is canned milk, according to Mr. Ames. When the spring feed becomes abundant, and fresh milk comes on the market in larger quantities, there should be, he says, a decided drop in the various lines of canned milk. Beans and rice are two other foods that have already gone down, rice having registered a 20 per cent decline and pink beans having gone from 8 cents, which price the government paid last year, to 6 cents, at the present time. Lower prices in beans are said to be due to the fact that there MAKING HUNGER Instability of Government Faced With Perplexing Problems The question the new governor to the tremendeous quired to repair Deserve Sorrow Unavoidably atrocities committed and Austrians tion of cities and personal barbarity and killing childings of violentism among them who insist upon punishment.

Of course, the biggest increase in the south will be in Los Angeles county, which ten years ago had a population of 604,131. Next year the population in Los Angeles county will be nearer 800,000. There are eighty Assemblymen and forty Senators, and upon a basis of a total population of 3,500,000, the new apportionment for Assemblymen will be one for each 40,000 population and for Senators one for each 80,000 population. Orange county's growth during the past few yeads has been rapid, and when the decennial census is taken eighteen months hence it is not improbable that the population of this county will be large enough to entitle it to two Assemblymen and a Senator. There are now fifteen Assemblymen in Los Angeles county and the new apportionment should give that county about twenty Assemblymen. There are now seen Senators in the county, and in the event the population jumps to 800,000 there will be ten Senators. It will be hard for the northern counties, who have had an overwhelming majority in both houses, to give the south the added strength which the new apportionment assures. That an attempt will be made to hold off the apportionment as long as possible is more than probable. The law says that the apportionment must be based upon the Federal census, which is taken every ten years. It does not make it mandatory, however, that the apportionment be made every ten years. If it is not, however, the Constitution provides that the old apportionment shall stand. Co-incident with the probable legislative action in 1921, Congress will re-apportion the United States and this should give Los Angeles county three instead of two, Congressmen. Congressmen are chosen upon a basis of 231,000 population. If the prognosticators are correct the county will get four Congressmen. What will happen to this county when the state is re-districted for Congressmen is problematical at present. The top-heavy Eleventh district, of course, will be split up.

The top-heavy Eleventh district, of course, will be split up. The seven counties will have sufficient population for two districts. San Diego and Imperial may be large enough for one district, or San Diego and Orange might be yoked together. Should that be the case our chance of sending a citrus man to represent us at Washington would go a-glimmering. This will be of considerable interest to the people of the present Ninth District, who feel they are misrepresented by Charles H. Randall. By the new apportionment his district, which has grown more than the Tenth in the past ten years, must be cut up and there will be a chance of fixing the lines so as to reduce Randall's strength to a minimum. While the population of the seven southern counties has increased more rapidly than it has in the north and notwithstanding that at least one-third of the population is south of Ventura, our end of the State has been receiving less than 10 per cent of the State patronage. It is estimated that about 90 per cent of the State Jobs are held by men living north of the Tehachepi. Of course, the Governor can change this unfair condition to some extent, but if he is backed by a larger representation in the Legislature the task will be made that much easier. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor has rejected the proposed national political Labor party. Mr. Gampers is opposed to the formation of any labor party he cannot deliver to the Democratic party regularly every two years, as per custom. LAYERS NEED ANIMAL FEED Chickens eat a large amount of animal matter in the form of insects, worms, and other low forms of animal life when allowed to range at will. If the poultry keeper is to get the best results from his fowls in winter he must furnish a substitute for this class of feed. For this purpose green cut bone, meat or fish scraps, and animal meal may be used. Green cut bone is usually fed by itself, while the scraps and meal may be readily mixed with the mash. Cut bone consists of green or fresh bone sliced or shaved into thin pieces by a bone cutter. Bones fresh from the butcher have more or less meat adhering, and the more of such meat the better, for the combination of a special issue of 4½ per cent United States Treasury "Tax Anticipation Certificates of Indebtedness" to be dated January 16th, 1919, and maturing June 17th, 1919. This issue was designed for the benefit of taxpayers. In June your taxes are due. You can now buy these certificates of this new issue, and make your tax money earn you 4½ per cent right up until the time your taxes are due. When June comes, the certificates may then be used to pay the taxes. It is obviously highly desirable for the purposes of the government, banks and taxpayers, that the payment of income and excess profit taxes should be effected with the least possible disturbance. This can be best accomplished by the purchase of these "Tax Anticipation Certificates of Indebtedness." The issue is limited, and all corporations, firms and individuals who desire to take advantage of this 4½ per cent interest opportunity, should at once make application at their banks.

Owen, senator from Oklahoma. For example, Austria is now divided into various subordinate nations. The question arises to what extent the new governments will be subjected to the tremendous indemnities and required to repair the damage. Deserve Severe Punishment Unavoidably and inevitably the atrocities committed by the Germans and Austrians, their wanton destruction of cities and countrysides and personal barbarities in ravishing women and killing children have aroused feelings of violent and passionate antagonism among the people of the Entente, who insist upon the severest material punishment. The practical question arises as to whether barbarities are punishable by taxing whole peoples with indemnities which evidently it will be impossible to collect. A choice is necessary between a peace of revenge and a peace of justice and humanity based on economic prudence. Cry Against Germany From the passionate resentment against the enemies arises the cry that nothing made in Germany shall be allowed to be sold abroad; that Germany shall have no raw materials and that indemnities shall be imposed to the extreme limit of the productive capacity of the German people. It is justly regarded as fair and right that Germany should be severely punished for her crimes against civilized countries. PROBATIONERS GENERALLY OBEY THE SENTENCE Only Five Per Cent Failed in Orange County During 1918 Only about five per cent of the men who were on probation in this county during 1918 failed during that year to keep the terms of their probation. The exact figures as presented in the annual report of J. H. Scott, county probation officer, shows that on January 1, 1919, there were eighty-two adults making reports on probation to him. During the year 1918 four men failed on probation. Of those four, two disappeared and two were sent to San Quentin. During 1918 there were thirteen new probation cases. The terms of seventeen others expired and the probationers were freed of the necessity of making reports to Scott. The thirteen placed on probation in 1918 were for causes as follows: Non-support, 4; burglary, 3; forgery, 3; embezzlement, grand larceny, contributing to delinquency of minor, child stealing, one each. During the year, Scott collected $2354.15 from probationers for the care of their families: Of that amount $646 was turned into the county treasury and $1706.15 was paid to families. The above figures have had to do with adults only. The report for the Juvenile department follows: Number of cases settled out of court, 158; number of cases in court, 51. Of 35 boys, 26 cases were delinquent, 4 dependent, 5 neglected. Of 16 girls, 10 were dependent and 6 neglected. The causes for these 51 children being in court are classified as follows: 16, unfit home; 10, burglary; 8, petit larceny; 4, auto theft; 3, no home; 2, forgery; 2, incorrigible; 1, grand larceny; 1, immoral life; 1, lewd conduct. These fifty-one children were disposed of as follows: 19 placed on probation than it ever was. New York has more Jews than Jerusalem; more Irish than Ireland; more Italians than Rome; more every kind of people than the chief cities of the nations of their births. There are actually more people by almost three times in the city of New York alone than there are in the whole State of California; and you would think there are a lot of people here, now wouldn't you? Yes, we know, and we are glad to think of it—the Back Yonder country of other days just seething with folks. But, for all that, we wouldn't take the entire country that lies between the Great Lakes and Florida as a gift if we had to go there and live in it again. It was all right once—more than all right. But that was when life and love were young. It was when the blood leaped hot in our veins and the east wind didn't cut any figure with us. Woolen mittens, arctic overshoes, a suit of red flannel underclothes and we didn't give a whoop how many below zero it was then. Now it isn't the same with us. We are not so keen as we once were to buck a blizzard or to dig a tunnel through the snow to feed the stock on a January morning. We find that we would much rather perform the same tasks here with the mocking bird singing to us and the popples brushing our boots on the path to the barn. Indeed, as we come to look back on that sort of thing we don't believe there was ever really any fun in it at all. We did it, it is true, and we got away with it, as the saying is, but to say we enjoyed it would be to stretch the truth. And to say that we would be willing to do it again would, if known, endanger our standing in the church. We believe now that the reason we did it was because we had to do it.

It is stated that 800,000 acres of agricultural land in the state of Connecticut has reverted to a wild state in the past fifty or sixty years. Connecticut is not a very large state, either. New Hampshire has 2000 idle farms which might be purchased for less than the cost of the buildings. Vermost has as many more. These and like figures are being brought out in connection with the movement to movement to place returning soldiers on the land. There is no lack of land to be reclaimed. The problem comes in devising plans to keep it reclaimed. All over the United States and in much of Europe consumers are asking prudence. Cry Against Germany From the passionate resentment against the enemies arises the cry that nothing made in Germany shall be allowed to be sold abroad; that Germany shall have no raw materials and that indemnities shall be imposed to the extreme limit of the productive capacity of the German people. It is justly regarded as fair and right that Germany should be severely punished for her crimes against civilization. But since she is unable to pay her obligations in gold she must necessarily pay her obligations in commodities, in products of labor or invention, in such commonplace things as chemicals, dyes, potash and manufactured goods of all sorts. Would Be Unable to Pay Saying that Germany will not have raw materials and no foreign markets while being compelled to pay billions in repairing the damages she has wrought is to insist upon her going northward and southward at the same time. I do not fear that but there will be sufficient wisdom displayed at the peace conference fully to comprehend this simple economic principle. Moreover, it is not necessary to fear that great nations, having fought and won a great war for establishing the doctrine of right and humanity, will be misguided by hate to violate this doctrine at the first great opportunity afforded them for establishing sound principles for the future guidance of civilization. Apart from the question of justice, prudent men are not wanting who realize that 75,000,000 people, trained in industrial life and educated to think and act decently, can be annihilated by a decree of peace containing in itself injustice and inhumanity.

HERE AND BACK YONDER "Back Yonder," as we remember it, is anywhere from here across the cactus plains of Arizona and New Mexico, or rather farther still. It is really over on the other side of the Rockies. The Outlands is east of the rims of the Sierras, but Back Yonder is still another country. To all of us here, except the Native Sons, Back Yonder is the Land of Used-to Be. It is the Place Where Once We Were. It seems like a dream that we ever dwelt in it and knew it and loved it as indeed we did. It is easy to dream of Back Yonder in this land of dreams, and how can one keep the dreams back these days when the shining highways of California of the South are crowded with tourists, or visitors; as they should more properly be called. We see them on the streets and out upon the paved roads in their automobiles; we meet them in the lobbies of hotels and the lounging rooms of apartment-houses; in the churches Sunday mornings and in thetheaters and cafes at evening. It is a joy to waylay them in the parks as they sit in the shade of the palms and pepper trees, for they bring up old memories and give us news of the places that once knew us too and where we learned to skate and drink cider and play shinyy and rub snow on our noses. Indeed, as we come to look back on that sort of thing we don't believe there was ever really any fun in it at all. We did it, it is true, and we got away with it, as the saying is, but to say we enjoyed it would be to stretch the truth. And to say that we would be willing to do it again would, if known, endanger our standing in the church. We believe now that the reason we did it was because we had to do it. There was no way out of it. ****** And it wasn't just winter alone that heckled us there with its dreary length of cold, dull days. As a matter of fact, we realize the fact that we used to spend fully nine months out of every year simply bucking the weather. Do you remember, old-timer from Back Yonder, how when the spring was due and it wouldn't appear; how winter lingered in its lap, as the poet has so aptly put it? It was an awful fraud—that spring thing. There would come a nice warm day or maybe a week of warm days in March, we will say, and a man would go and do a fool act then. He would change his underwear and take down the sitting-room stove. It was then, when all was fixed for spring, that old hoary winter would laugh in a hoarse voice of joy, and he would come back with a blizzard that would freeze a brass monkey. It was fine for the doctors. The undertakers made lots of money at that season of the year. But finally the spring would truly come, and yet on Decoration Day, which is always the 30th of May; the only way a sufficient quantity of flowers could be secured to deck the soldiers' graves was to loot the hot-houses. The roses were still thirty days in the distance. It is hard to believe it now, here in a country where folks have roses at Christmas. But it is a fact. Our visitors confirm us in the statement. They frankly admit that it is still that way Back Yonder, notwithstanding rumors to the effect that the climate had changed. Then came summer. And for awhile it was great. We have the very fondest memories of the summers Back Yonder for the first couple of weeks of their appearances. Just to show you we haven't forgotten, we can still describe to you in detail the callo gown that the prettiest girl in the world wore at a picnic one day in summer Back Yonder. New Hampshire has 2000 idle farms which might be purchased for less than the cost of the buildings. Vermost has as many more. These and like figures are being brought out in connection with the movement to place returning soldiers on the land. There is no lack of land to be reclaimed. The problem comes in devising plans to keep it reclaimed. All over the United States and in much of Europe consumers are asking for Indian corn and are getting—pork. It is an interesting situation. Western farmers have vast quantities of corn. They also have pigs. Now at present prices it is more profitable to feed the corn to the pigs and sell the pork than it is to sell the corn itself. The truth is that the demand for this grain is growing so fast that production has not kept pace with it. Long hailed as king in America, it is extending its sway to the whole world. Tion of bone and meat is excellent for producing eggs. Where a good supply of fresh bone can be obtained regularly it is very useful, but it can not be kept sweet for such long periods as the scraps and animal meal. Green cut bone should be fed carefully and in a sweet condition, otherwise bowel trouble may result. One pound a day is sufficient for 20 hens, but not over one-half pound should be fed to that number when first beginning to feed it. From one-half to three-fourths pound of animal meal or meat scraps may be fed to 12 or 15 hens. Any form of meat is likely to loosen the bowels of the hen when first fed, and the hens should be watched carefully and not fed too much. After the fowls have become accustomed to the animal meal or meat scraps it may be kept constantly before them. It is a joy to waylay them in the parks as they sit in the shade of the palms and pepper trees, for they bring up old memories and give us news of the places that once knew us too and where we learned to skate and drink cider and play shinny and rub snow on our noses. There is never any difficulty in picking them out from the throngs of natives here or from the long-time expatriates. The same wonder shines in their eyes that shone in our own when first we came and picked flowers in January and saw the green hills on days that the calendars of our boyhood said was winter. When there are two of them together we laugh as we head the one asking the other to kick him so that he may make sure that he is awake and not dreaming, just as we did when we drank our first draught of the wine of the California winds. We listen to their boasts of the greatness and the grandeur of the places from whence they came—and from whence we came also—without resentment, because we like the loyalty they voice and because we admire the courage they display in sticking to something that they know as well as we do has gone forever from their hearts. They have seen the Star of Empire now shining from its own skies. They will go back, but they will come again. Once the taste of California is in their mouths nothing else will ever taste the same to them again.

Back Yonder they have GeorgeWashington, Benjamin Franklin, WaltWhitman and Bunker Hill. But alsothey have snow and ice and the dogdays. It is a grand old country, busy withwheels and factories, mines, mills andsmoke. We are proud to think that we wereborn there, but all the wild horses inTexas couldn't drag us back to livein it. You see, the way it is, a man hasonly one life to live on this earth, except he be a theosophist. And it isn'tworth while to try to live anywhereoutside of California. It takes up toomuch of a man's time making theeffort. Now and then, it is true, an easternvisitor will smilingly repeat the oldchestnut joke that "California has thesmallest matches and the biggest liarsin the world." But we have to remindthe sometime guest within our gatesthat one has to lie in order to tell thetruth about California. We will admit that the ultra Californian occasionally grows extravagant inhis language. He will say that hewould rather be a lamp post in LosAngeles than the statue of liberty inNew York. To our beloved and esteemed guestsfrom Back Yonder we say that theywill do well not to take too seriouslyeverything they hear from thedenizens of this lotus land.

It is "Just California:" Sun and dews that kiss it, Balmy winds that blow, The stars in clustered diadems Upon its peaks of snow; The mighty mountains o'er it, Below the white seas swirled— Just California stretching down The middle of the world. —Los Angeles Times. In the earlier stages of the war a lot of talkers alleged that the world was going to hell, and now the general assumption seems to be that it has been done over and is ready for heaven, but the truth is about half way between these two theories, in all probability.
