MUCH MONEY IN BI-PRODUCTS OF FRUIT CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS EXCHANGE SECURES NEW REVENUE FROM MARMALADE, CITRIC ACID 15,000 Tons Oranges Used This Year; U. S. Laboratory Useful; Export Trade Develops Rapidly. The advantage to the citrus industry from the development of by-products in recent years is not generally realized. E. G. Dezell, assistant general manager of the exchange, was asked recently for a statement of results accomplished and said: "In the past few years great strides have been made by the citrus industry in the utilization of cull oranges and lemons in the making of by-products. "Until a few years ago this fruit, unfit for use as fresh fruit, was actually an expense to the packing houses because of the cost of hauling it to the dump or otherwise disposing of it, while at present a large percentage of this waste fruit is being profitably turned into by-products and new methods and facilities are being devised try visited the Arts Ball of the Pen-gulns and several other affairs of the same sort last winter. She is said to have made a report to her employers which horrified them so much that they decided that all their energies should be concentrated with a view to bringing about this hitherto unsuspected reform. Having dashed to victory with the slogan "The saloon must go!" they are to conquer on another field to the tune of "The studio must go." They discovered the thing about which the voters of the country are least suspicious, and most ignorant, and decided to go about the business by way of a constitutional amendment. This time, however, there is to be no mistake as to details. It will be provided in the addition to the constitution itself that "any painting sculpture, drawing, etching, lithograph, photograph or any other contemporary representation of nature which contains more than 2.75 per cent of 'art' shall be subject to seizure by the federal authorities." LAGUNA'S ART GALLERY That the Laguna Beach Art Association plans to build a $15,000 art gallery at the noted resort and that some of the money has already been subscribed, is the information made public by Henri G. De Kruif of Los Angeles, chairman of the association's publicity committee. A strong, progressive spirit of mutual help dominates the Laguna Beach Art Association, which is now compos- Until a few years ago this fruit, unfit for use as fresh fruit, was actually an expense to the packing houses because of the cost of hauling it to the dump or otherwise disposing of it, while at present a large percentage of this waste fruit is being profitably turned into by-products and new methods and facilities are being devised which will eventually salvage practically all of it. "The Exchange By-Products Company, which is operated on a co-operative basis by the lemon growers who are members of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, is rapidly extending its output of lemon by-products, particularly crystalline citric acid which finds a ready market. "During the past year the plant of this company at Corona has utilized approximately 13,000 tons of cull lemons not fit for shipment. They manufactured direct from the fruit during the year 75,000 pounds of high grade citric acid and 232,000 pounds of citrate of lime, an intermediate product. "The United States has always purchased several million pounds of citric acid annually from Italy and the California-made acid finds a ready market. California will as production facilities are increased, supply an increasing proportion of the domestic requirements. "The utilization of oranges unfit for market has developed very rapidly with the establishment of several important plants for the production of marmalade. Marmalade made in California is rapidly gaining prestige in the American market which has formerly been almost entirely supplied with English imported marmalade made from Spanish oranges. "An export trade is also being developed for California marmalades. Approximately 15,000 tons of otherwise worthless oranges have been profitably utilized in orange by-products this year, and the future gives promise of great development. "The By-Products Companies are constantly working to develop better methods, new processes and new ways for profitably using this class of fruit and are greatly assisted in this work. That the Laguna Beach Art Association plans to build a $15,000 art gallery at the noted resort and that some of the money has already been subscribed, is the information made public by Henri G. De Kruif of Los Angeles, chairman of the association's publicity committee. A strong, progressive spirit of mutual help dominates the Laguna Beach Art Association, which is now composed of 300 members, both artists and laymen. In announcing the new gallery, De Kruif said: "It will be of interest to your readers that there is one place in Southern California where harmony and progressive co-operation among artists reign supreme; where painters have a widening vision of greater good to a greater number of artists and to a greater public; and one place in this garden of keen western intelligence where artists and a thinking group of citizens are taking active steps to benefit the whole people. That place is Laguna Beach, where a rapidly growing colony of California's painters has established a successful art association for the former's maintenance. "The present small gallery has been so well attended—15,000 people this year—and the sales of pictures so encouraging, that a new and more commodious building has become imperative. Plans for an edifice of fitting beauty and utility are under way and a movement is already on foot for raising $15,000, some of which is already subscribed. This gem of architecture will be set upon one of the imposing promontories of Laguna's Cliffs where it may easily be found and admired by all. From such an eminence it will also command a comprehensive view of Laguna's gold-fringed coast line, and look across a sea of emerald and sapphire to the tinted peaks of Catalina. To one who knows Laguna Beach and has learned to love it for its many charms my word picture of the possibilities of our project is none too glowing. The many painters, musicians, writers and other artists and celebrities who visit our village throughout the year proclaim this the ideal retreat for artists of every description."

An export trade is also being developed for California marmalades. Approximately 15,000 tons of otherwise worthless oranges have been profitably utilized in orange by-products this year, and the future gives promise of great development. "The By-Products Companies are constantly working to develop better methods, new processes and new ways for profitably using this class of fruit and are greatly assisted in this work by a citrus by-products laboratory maintained in Los Angeles by the United States Department of Agriculture." THE STUDIO MUST GO It was reported a short time ago that the next drive of the Anti-Saloon league and W. C. T. U. would be directed at the demon tobacco, as represented by the deadly cigaret, the filthy cigar and the abominable pipe. This was a mistake. That great reform may, or rather must, come later. In the meantime it will be interesting to the public to learn that the forces of dryness at present in control of the United States of America have decided to put an end to art and artists. It does not follow that the Metropolitan museum will be wiped out as an institution, or that any of the collections of old masters in the possession of Mr. Frick and other collectors will be seized and destroyed. A careful distinction is to be made between ancient and contemporary art. In fact, the rule which will guide all the agents of the government will be this—"The only good artist is a dead artist." It is understood that an agent of one of the societies most prominent in improving the morals of this county sapphire to the tinted peaks of Catalina. To one who knows Laguna Beach and has learned to love it for its many charms my word picture of the possibilities of our project is none too glowing. The many painters, musicians, writers and other artists and celebrities who visit our village throughout the year proclaim this the ideal retreat for artists of every description. "Musical evenings are becoming a feature of the Art Association's activities with prominent Los Angeles musicians as contributors. Therefore a music room will be incorporated in the building. And for the reading public there will be a library and reading room. In other words, the great aim of the institution is educational. We are bringing together the best talent in all lines for rthe mutual benefit of a public that is eager to learn and enjoy, as well as the various branches of art who gain fresh ideas and new impulses for creative work through friendly contact and association with one another. OIL ACTIVITY AT TUSTIN Activity in oil leases in the county has reached Tustin and a number of property owners in that vicinity are debating with themselves as to whether they should tie up with concerns who now have representatives in the field. The prospect of adding more glory and wealth to the rich community east of Santa Ana by the development of oil is said to be very promising. Attempt is being made to secure leases on about 200 acres in the rich walnut and citrus belt adjacent to Mitchell avenue and Red Hill road. Within the last week oil men have ANAHEIM GAZETTE been interviewing ranch owners within this area to lease their lands, agreeing to go to a depth of 4000 feet if necessary, to test their belief that oil is to be found in abundance. Geological surveys recently made have traced the oil vein from the Placentia oil wells directly south through Olive and El Modena to Tustin. The surface indications in the Tustin tract are strongly visible, and geological experts say that oil will be found but that it may be necessary to go to a depth to 4000 feet. REFERENDUM PETITIONS Referendum petitions against six measures passed by the last legislature have been filed with Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan. The number of verified signatures required for each of the petitions is 34,434, which number was exceeded in each instance. The measures to which the referendum will apply, and upon which the people will vote at the general election in 1920 are as follows: Res. Chapter 1, Statutes 1919—Relative to the ratification of an amendment to the constitution of the United States, proposed by the Congress of the United States of America, relating to intoxicating liquors. This was the resolution by which the State of California ratified the Shepard bone dry national prohibition law. Chapter 61, Statutes 1919—An act enforcing the provisions of article eighteen of the constitution of the United States; prohibiting the manu-respectively, June 31, 1913, and June 30, 1918, the counties of California, excluding San Francisco, expended $84.100,815.95 on county roads and bridges. An analysis shows that out of the total amount above stated, $44,224.717.64, or 52.59 per cent was disbursed for road expense, which includes general overhead, administrative and maintenance costs. The sum of $24.496,973.61, or 29.13 per cent of the total went into outlays for roads, which includes new construction and the reconstruction and modernizing of existing roads. Bridge expense amounted to $5,157.667.13, or 6.13 per cent of the total, and bridge outlays accounted for $8.078,769.84, or 9.61 per cent of the total expenditure. For other road structures, $1,638.665.71, or 1.94 per cent of the total went for expenses, and $504,062.12, or 0.60 per cent for outlays. In response to questionaires sent out, 21 counties reported 2,624.04 miles of paved roads of various classes, largely oiled macadam. Four reported that their roads were "paved with gravel" and 16 reported that they had no paved roads. Thirty-eight counties reported 46,637 miles of dirt roads, and 3 counties reported that they had no record of the number of miles of dirt roads. Sixteen counties failed to respond to the questionnaire. The Taxpayers' Journal thinks it is interesting and significant to compare the results of six years of county road administration with what is promised by the State in return for the $73,000.00 in highway bonds which have been Chapter 61, Statutes 1919—An act enforcing the provisions of article eighteen of the constitution of the United States; prohibiting the manufacture, sale, storage, service, gift, transportation, importation or exportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes; regulating all other traffic in such liquors; and providing penalties for violations thereof. This act was known as the Harris Prohibition enforcement law. Chapter 344, Statutes 1919—An act to amend sections one, two and nine of an act entitled "An act to provide for the organization and government of irrigation districts, and to provide for the acquisition or construction therby of works for the irrigation of the lands embraced within such districts and also to provide for the distribution of water for irrigation purposes," approved March 31, 1897, and as amended. This measure was known as the Irwin Irrigation Act. Chapter 611, Statutes 1919—An act to amend sections one thousand four hundred one and one thousand four hundred two of the Civil Code, relating to the distribution of community property on death of husband or wife, to add a new section to the Civil Code to be numbered one thousand four hundred two a, relating to inheritance taxes, and compensation of executors and administrators and attorney's fees, and to add a new section to the Civil Code to be numbered one thousand two hundred seventy-two, relating to the disposition of community property by will. This was one of the measures endorsed by the club women of California relating to changes in the community property law. Chapter 612, Statutes 1919—An act to amend sections seven, eight and nine of an act entitled "An act to regulate the sale and use of poisons in the State of California and providing a penalty for the violation thereof," approved March 6, 1897, and amended. This was one of the measures endorsed by the club women of California relating to changes in the community properly law. Chapter 612, Statutes 1919—An act to amend sections seven, eight and nine of an act entitled "An act to regulate the sale and use of poisons in the State of California and providing a penalty for the violation thereof," approved March 6, 1907, as amended, and to add four new sections thereto to be numbered eight and one-half, eight eighth f and eight g. Chapter 616, Statutes 1919—An act regulating the appointment of the agents or employees of state banks and subsidiary corporations dominated or controlled by state banks as insurance agents and prohibiting the appointment of the agents or employees of state banks and subsidiary corporations dominated or controlled by state banks as general insurance agents or managerial agents or department managers of certain insurance companies. This was an act said to have been designed to prevent the Bank of Italy from engaging in the insurance business. Its application, of course, would relate, however, to all state banks. The number of names on each of the six petitions follows: Res. Chapter 1, Statutes 1919, 55,430. Chapter 61, Statutes 1919, 66,589. Chapter 344, Statutes 1919, 42,048. Chapter 611, Statutes 1919, 49,421. Chapter 612, Statutes 1919, 45,831. Chapter 616, Statutes 1919, 41,864. COUNTY ROAD DATA In the course of an interesting article on county road administration, the Taxpayers' Journal gives figures showing that in the six fiscal years ending has a wife and one child living. An increase from $65 to $100, if he has a wife and two or more children living. An increase from $40, if he has no wife but one child living, with $10 for each additional child up to two, to $90, with for each additional child up to two. The House pension committee reported favorably a bill granting a minimum monthly pension of $50 to the veterans of the war between the states. Their widows would receive $30 a month and their children under 16 years old, $6 a month, while nurses would receive $30 a month. The measure would add $65,000,000 to the pension roll in its first year. The bill would grant $72 monthly to all totally disabled veterans, and $90 a month to those who suffered such disability in service. COMMISSIONERS' REPORT WAS LONG SUPPRESSED Government Didn't Want Public to Know Facts on Profiteering. The senate is in receipt of a long suppressed report of the federal trade commission which shows that under the price fixing regulations instituted by Food Administrator Hoover the five big packers were allowed to make profits nearly three times as large as those in the years preceding the war. The correspondence accompanying the report shows that it was suppressed by President Wilson at the request of Hoover, who claimed that no useful purpose would be served by giving it publicity. The report was requested by Senator Norris. The commission objected to Hoover's criticism in a letter to the President, We sell Steamship tickets to France, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Azores, Greece, Germany, Holland, Sweden and Norway. ..Honolulu, ORIENT, Central America, South America.

In August last year the total was $527,000,000. For the eight months ending with August exports were valued at $5,275,000,000 as compared with $4,009,000,000 for the corresponding period in 1918. August imports amounted to $308,000,000, a decrease of $35,000,000 as compared with July. For the eight months ending with August imports increased from $2,061,000,000 in 1918 to $2,263,000,000 in 1919. A BETTER BERTH FOR BOSSIE The American dairy cow, beauty that she is and has always been, has never made very much of a reputation in Europe until the war destroyed so many of the native milk producers. Now, the American dairy cow is crossing the ocean freely, and the United States Department of Agriculture, largely for her benefit, has revised its regulations governing the inspection, humane handling, and safe transport of export animals. The regulations, in the first place, were fixed mainly for beef cattle. A dairy cow that is to live her live out and bear a responsible part in the upbringing of a human family requires more careful handling than an animal that is to be slaughtered. Consequently, better arrangements have been made for stalls, an adequate number of attendants is stipulated, and more careful handling in general is required.
