SACRIFICING WALNUTS TO MAKE WAY FOR ORANGES Farmers in This County Have Faith in Future of Fruit A number of ranchers in the Valencia orange district of Orange county are removing vigorous, profitable walnut trees to plant citrus fruits, while other land owners in the same county are setting out walnut trees. The latter, however, are not being planted on land previously occupied by orange trees. The balance, therefore, seems to favor citrus culture in the county. A notable example of removal of a walnut orchard to make way for Valencia oranges is on the C. C. Chapman ranch, near Fullerton. A twenty-acre walnut grove, which has been a great producer, is being routed by the advance of the Valencia orange. The owner of this ranch believes that the demand for oranges will rise in direct ratio to the number of states ratifying the prohibition amendment. As the stumps are pulled out on the Chapman ranch, a tractor prepares the soil for planting the citrus trees. Mexican woodchoppers find profitable work in converting the huge trunks and limbs into firewood. Figures of production during the past few years show that walnut culture is not losing in favor in general. In 1908, the output of walnuts in California was 9350 tons. During the season just past the growers marketed 18,000 tons of high-priced walnuts. THE BIG THING If you were to ask what is the big thing in life, someone would tell you that it is richer, another would say something more than preciation. There is no reason which can be clearer than to render their country and quality of service the soil of France. WON'T EXTEND THE INCOME March 15 is the Last Return That there will be session of time beyond filling of returns and income and excess paid that date, is the decision Roper, commissioner enue. The announcement by Collector Carter receipt of advice from Roper. "It is necessary tax payments in by Commissioner Roper course is possible. The treasury issued debtedness to an amount $800,000,000, mat. The first payment of excess profits taxes needed for that date, obligation. "The American public that there is no embezzlement met and solved. This present situation emergency which can co-operative effort tends its every force and I am relying upon meet the situation." The internal revive carry out the program the new law, which turns for 1918 to be March 15. THE BIG THING If you were to ask what is the big thing in life, someone would tell you that it is riches, another would say that it is power, still another would say that it is glory. But, they would all be mistaken. Those who regard any of these things, or all of them put together, as the big thing in life, lack both knowledge and dreams, which two things combined constitute philosophy. The big thing in life is contentment. Saul of Tarsus, who afterward was Paul the Apostle and a wiser and a better man, went deep into everything of this nature. He had not only his own vivid and strenuous experiences to draw from, but he had also the wisdom that came out of that great light which halted him on the road to Damascus. And Paul tells us that contentment is essential in all things. He makes it clear that a man must have it before he can be anything worth while in this world. "I have learned," said he to the Philippians, "in whatsoever state I am to be content." Until he learned that, Paul had not begun to live. Until then he was the same as other men. But, after that, he rose to be the dominating spirit of the age in which he labored and out of which his name is still like magic on the breath of the world. We would say that there are two things that shut a man out from contentment. One is the desire to have that which he has not. The other is the fear of losing that which he has. No man can be content so long as he is subject to these two enslavements. For that's just what they are, enslavements and nothing else. This discontent with his lot in life is the great curse of the man of ordinary estate in this world. To have the things that are beyond his reach consumes him with a ceaseless fire. Such men, as a rule, have enough and to spare, but this does not seem to satisfy them. If they would only determine to be content with what they have they would be happy. The consequence is that they make a dismal failure of a life that could FINGER PRINT RECORD INFALLIBLE The law has always been credited with a long arm, and the longest finger of that long arm is doubtless the fingerprint system. Deputy Sheriff L. F. Miller, in charge of the finger-print work at Santa Ana, has proven that this long finger picks out a man's record in far places. About Christmas, a man who wanted to break into jail threw a rock through a window of the Kryhl jewelry store. Miller took his finger-prints and mailed them to a number of identification bureaus in this country and to New Scotland Yard in London. Yesterday he got a report from Scotland Yard. The man arrested as R. H. Warde served under the names of Robert Ward and James Green five sentences from Westminster Police Court, London. The first was in 1901 for the theft of twenty-one pounds. In 1904 and 1905 he served sentences for refusing a task in the public workhouse, and in 1905 he was sentenced once for assault on a policeman and once for having unlawful possession of two soda water syphons. Here in this country, the record so far uncovered shows that the man was arrested at Berkeley and Santa Cruz as a vagrant, in San Joaquin county for petty larceny and in Portland and Los Angeles as a drunk. OVER THERE AND OVER HERE In a New York interview the other day a returned army nurse who has seen active service in France declared that in all her experience near the front she had never seen one indica- This discontent with his lot in life is the great curse of the man of ordinary estate in this world. To have the things that are beyond his reach consumes him with a ceaseless fire. Such men, as a rule, have enough and to spare, but this does not seem to satisfy them. If they would only determine to be content with what they have they would be happy. The consequence is that they make a dismal failure of a life that could easily have been a great success as far as their happiness is involved. And, without happiness it were better that a man had not lived at all. Then we have the man who has all the wealth and power and maybe all the glory that he craves, but who is in constant fear that it will be taken away from him; that he will lose his worldly possessions or that somebody will rob him of the limelight. Contentment never sleeps under the roof of such a man. Wherefore, of what good to him is all that he has? Now, if the man who wants that which is beyond his reach could school himself to be like, "content in whatsoever state" he found himself, he would get things out of life that he never dreamed of. He would sleep soundly and awake in gladness. And if the man who has all the wealth he had craved could school himself to feel that it wouldn't matter if he were to lose it all, he would also sleep soundly and awake in gladness. Who among us that would wish to go through life and miss the biggest thing there is in life? Well, the least man on earth can have that big thing for his very own simply by a motion of the mind that God gave him when he was born. The big thing in life—its name is Contentment. It lies at your feet. Take it up and let it warm you. OVER THERE AND OVER HERE In a New York interview the other day a returned army nurse who has seen active service in France declared that in all her experience near the front she had never seen one indication of weakness among the men of the army or the marines. Speaking of the spirit of these brave fellows, she concludes that such a morale cannot be driven into men. It is born in them. Through varied channels there comes but one consistent and never varying estimate of our citizen soldiery. Their conduct has been splendid. Their courage in the field was never lacking. They could learn everything in war except to surrender. Their stoicism in the hospital was equal to their bravery in battle. These splendid Americans in the very flush of youth are now pouring back across the sea at the rate of at least 250,000 every month to resume their citizenship. It is certain that their love of country has been intensified and deepened. Their thought has been broadened and invigorated. Their citizenship in a country founded on liberty and justice has been intensified. It is safe to assume that these men who have given such a glorious account of themselves when matched with the boasted legions of the first military powers of Europe will take their places in the political and business life of the country as a steadying influence. Nor can it be questioned that the Nation itself will be the richer and better for the new inspiration they will bring. We owe to these brave defenders ANAHEIM GAZETTE WON'T EXTEND TIME FOR INCOME TAX PAYMENTS March 15 is the Last Day For Filing Returns That there will be no general extension of time beyond March 15 for the filing of returns and for the payment of income and excess profits taxes due on that date, is the decision of Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of internal revenue. The announcement was made by Collector Carter immediately upon receipt of advice from Commissioner Roper. "It is necessary to get the initial tax payments in by March 15th," says Commissioner Roper. "No other course is possible. Some months ago, the treasury issued certificates of indebtedness to an amount approximating $800,000,000, maturing March 15th. The first payment of the income and excess profits taxes for 1918 was planned for that date, to meet this huge obligation. "The American people have proven that there is no emergency too great to be met and solved by co-operation. This present situation is another emergency which can be overcome by co-operative effort. The bureau extends its every force toward this end; and I am relying upon the people to meet the situation whole-heartedly." The internal revenue bureau must carry out the program prescribed in the new law, which requires all returns for 1918 to be filed on or before influenza if every person in the state would do as these fifty Goat Island sailors did; namely, eliminate fear of the disease. OBJECT TO JAPANESE BEANS Santa Barbara.—Agitation over the shipping into this county of foreign grown beans, while the home grown product is stored in warehouses without purchasers continues among bean growers. In addition to direct appeals to Washington to halt the importation of Japanese beans until the California bean finds a market, it is proposed to hold general mass meetings in protest, and to spread over the nation the facts as they are developed. Growers want to know who compose the United States Grain Corporation, a government body said to be at the bottom of these shipments, and who is getting a profit, for the only profits so far in evidence, it is said, are going to the Japanese in Japan, while the American grower is out his entire investment and a year's time. Checking up on these exports, the growers find that the government reports show 210 tons of Japanese beans received on December 4, 230 tons on December 14, 200 tons on December 28, 622 tons on January 8, 230 tons on January 14, 150 tons on January 5, and 1140 tons on January 18. All this received at Seattle, and from there distributed. The government reports are indefinite as to the destination of these exported beans, or whether they come in bond for Europe, but it is argued here, whether for the American trade or European consumption that they have been bought with American money, when the first duty of the buyer is to buy the American bean until the in- And They Say A close observer while watching the cars whiz by on the state highway, has been favorably impressed with the number of machines bearing pennants from many Eastern and Middle West states. A large part of these travelers are no doubt attracted to this Southland by the glorious climate, and motoring here affords many pleasures. These Easterners get first hand information as to the productiveness of this section in the citrus line and marvel at the beautiful sights when passing the thrifty orchards laden with their golden product. It has been said it takes just about two trips here from the blizzard belt to convince a tourist that this is the only place worth while, and after nibbling at the bait for this length of time the climate refugee usually packs bag and baggage and hikes hither for good. After becoming thoroughly acclimated the tenderfoot realizes that while this is not really heaven, it is the next place to the Celestial paradise, and he never cares to wander or to roam further. While orange growers have been receiving very fancy prices for their fruit this year, your Uncle Samuel has his cash register out, ready to receive that income tax. Some of the colored shiners are thinking of beating it to tall timber or laying in a supply of smoked glasses. The other day a young Amazon ascended the bootblack stand in front of a Center street tonsorial establishment and asked for a shine. She was decked out in the height of fashion, including the latest style boot of an unusually high cut. The colored boy after getting up action asked the demure dam- "The American people have proven that there is no emergency too great to be met and solved by co-operation. This present situation is another emergency which can be overcome by co-operative effort. The bureau extends its every force toward this end; and I am relying upon the people to meet the situation whole-heartedly. "The internal revenue bureau must carry out the program prescribed in the new law, which requires all returns for 1918 to be filed on or before March 15, 1919, and requires the first quarterly payment or the entire payment to be made on or before that date. "Eevry taxpayer who can possibly do so is urged to make full payment of his income tax on or before March 15. The quarterly payment method is intended for taxpayers whose financing of the tax at one time would tend to upset local financial conditions. "The approval of the report of the conferees by the Senate and House of Representatives brings the new revenue bill to the point where it may be assumed to be law. The internal revenue bureau has been making preparations to collect the taxes which it provides, and is now putting all of its efforts into aiding the taxpayers to fulfill the obligations imposed. "The bureau has arranged to send an advisory force of several thousands of deputies and agents to assist taxpayers. These officers will be stationed at convenient points where they may be consulted without charge. Taxpayers should take the initiative and get 'n touch with these revenue men for any needed advice and assistance in preparing returns. "The forms for the tax returns are being printed and all forms will be in the hands of collectors between February 15th and March 1st." AN OFFICIAL TEST The experiments made at Goat Island by Navy doctors in an effort to learn something about the influenza germ, carry a lesson that every person should study and understand. Fifty young sailors volunteered to become influenza victims that the doctors might study the disease more carefully. These young men had no fear of the disease; they willingly offered themselves. They were placed with flu patients; they were given jars of flu germs which they breathed into their lungs; htey had flu germs injected into their bodies. Then the medical men prepared to study the cases as they developed. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors; County Treasurer J. C. Joplin, and County Auditor W. C. Jerome have signed a statement setting 2 per cent as the rate to be charged banks that secure deposits of county money. This is the rate that has been fixed each year for a number of years past. The rate must be fixed by the board chairman, the treasurer and the auditor once a year. GOV. LYNCH URGES WEST TO LAST BIG LOAN DRIVE Some of the colored shiners are thinking of beating it to tall timber or laying in a supply of smoked glasses. The other day a young Amazon ascended the bootblack stand in front of a Center street tonsorial establishment and asked for a shine. She was decked out in the height of fashion, including the latest style boot of an unusually high cut. The colored boy after getting up action asked the demure damsel how much of the boot she wished polished. He was coyly informed that the footwear must be shined up all way. Yes'um. Thoroughly befuddled with amazement the colored lad jumbled up his polish, getting the black and tan all mixed up, and was otherwise taking on a bad case of rattles. He finally succeeded in finding a pair of trouser guards and deftly adjusting them to hold the skirt up about the shape—er limbs—proceeded with his work. The damsel had unconsciously caused a demand for cigars and many of the male species stopped for smokes and natural-like stood around and asked about the weather and rubbered. At last the boots had been shined in the height of style and the fair one hopped down off the stand and went on her way. And strangest thing, all the tonsorial artists had become so nervous shaving was out of the question and a five minutes' recess was called. That usually when a town goes dry the surreptitious snifter, with a kitchen kick, comes into favor, with a certain class, but Eddie says this town is the simon pure, original dry burg. Not the faintest sign of a grunt of a blind one in a moonshine still or speakeasy dugout is to be heard, and the Keeley cure spielers have beat it. The dispicable alien enemies are beginning to learn that Uncle Sam will stand for none of their funny business. Large numbers of the vermin are being sent back from whence they came. Googy Horwitz, of Los Angeles, was visiting friends here last week. GOV. LYNCH URGES WEST TO LAST BIG LOAN DRIVE To the Citizens of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District: The Fifth “Victory” Liberty Loan is in sight. Let us thank God that it is not just the Fifth Loan. Victory means the end of the war, the end of loans, the dawn of peace and prosperity. It means that the market price of government bonds will soon stabilize at par or better. It also means that commercial, agricultural, and industrial affairs will stabilize, and that the Hun-inspired clamor will cease. We were advised that the war would last through 1919, probably through 1920, so we were prepared for that; to have done less would have been suicide. We prepared to crush the Hun on his own ground, and he prudently quit. It cost us some money but it saved the lives of half a million of our men. Was money ever better spent? Now we have bills to pay, promises to make good, our men to bring home. This will take from five to six billion dollars. Let us get ready and raise it. A big task, but the last, and therefore easy. All together, shoulder to shoulder, and the loan goes over! The “Ninety-first” is the Pacific Coast Division; remember their achievement, and honor ourselves by living up to it. JAMES K.

CAMP Division officers of the Sons of Veterans are organizing a camp in Santa Ana and already many have signed the application for a charter. The indications are that, with eligible men from Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton joining with the Santa Ana boys, there will be organized here the largest camp in the state. Sons and grandsons of honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, or marines of the war of 1861-1865 are eligible to membership in the order. Speaking of the new order, today, Senlor Vice Division Commander Willian H. Hayden, said: "We believe the richest legacy a father can leave his son is the right to bear the title of a 'Son of a Veteran,' and the choicest honor a son can pay to his father is by accepting such a legacy." "I am sure that as Sons of Veterans we should prize this noble heritage more highly than any honor that could be bestowed on us." The camp will be organized in the near future. Those entitled to membership will communicate with Mrs. Margaret Robertson, president of the Daughters of Veterans, or Mrs. Joe Burke, Aanta Ana.
