THE GREAT FAMILY OF CITROUS TREES Orange County Growers May Find Something New in This List. Doubtless there are a few growing citrus fruits who care nothing about the great family to which these trees belong, but as a rule men are interested in all that is closely allied to matters or objects under their care or charge. In this article I shall aim to present short notes regarding the nature, nativity and possible use of members of the citrous tribe outside the genus Citrus which contains only the citron, lemon, lime, grapefruit or pomelo, sour or Seville orange, common or sweet orange. King orange, and the Calomondin orange from the Philippines, writes Ernest Braunton in the Cultivator. While this article is not aimed to be scientific, it is our purpose to avoid the known hybids such as the citrange and limequat, for much has been written of these and the tangelo. Two other genera are well known to growers in Fortunella, which is the kumquat and poncirus, which the tradesman has called Citrus trifoliata, because it belonged to the citrous tribe, though not more so than those of which we write. It will be necessary to use the botanical names, for very few have any other but if such others are known they will be given. Some of these little known citrus trees will some day prove of great interest also of great value to Californians, more especially the climbers. Many of them are recommended for trial by the United States department of agriculture which is used for making a jelly somewhat similar to black currant jelly. It also has some medicinal virtues. Feroniella is closely allied to Feronia and may also be used as a citrus stock. It is native to Cochin-China and surrounding districts where its fruits are used as a condiment in sauces and the pulp is sometimes eaten. Trees are now growing in the greenhouses at Washington. If we have a navel orange may we not also have a naibel? For that is the name of a small spiny tree of beautiful foliage native to Ceylon, India and Cochin-China. The fruits are very small, not more than a half inch in diameter and bitter, but used for seasoning. The tree has a vigorous root system and is recommended for trial for budding stock by Swingle, who has some budden on both lemon and grapefruit at Washington. The botanical name is Heperothusa. Lavanga is the botanical name of a citrus tree whose common name is lavangalata, which is a poser for those who object to botanical names. There are several species of Lavanga and the are all climbing shrubs and U. S. experts say they should be introduced into this country for budding and breeding trial. Hurrah for the climbing orange! These trees range through India, Cochin-China, and the Malayan Archipelago and bear small lemon-colored resinous fruits the size of pigeons' eggs. The finger-lime of Australia has fruits of finger shape with a pungent acid juice and the tree is recommended only for budding and breeding purposes on account of its extreme hardness. The tree grows forty feet and weapons in its skin great industrial power and the state associations of ethics be discarded as soon as so many fetter liberty of action. The man who history sentiments to the Industrial Welfare which was aligned with Labor biotechnology employed after long expiration could not attack from within. I. W.

While in Europe Foster accustomed and soon after that nooned that the strike. The destruction avowed aim. To be wood," to be discarded in the way of at the strike. Murder are Foster's admirers their use he can be of our political strength nothing to our trines advocated by preached and practiced Trotzky themselves. Aegle Marmelos is a small and handsome tree native to northern India but widely cultivated throughout other nearby countries. It has a fruit ranging from 2-6 inches in diameter, but usually 4-5 inches, covered with a thick shell filled with a pale orange-colored pulp that is sweet, wholesome, nutritious and very palatable and also has some medicinal value in both ripe and green state. The tree is now being tested in the warmest parts of this country, according to Walter T. Swingle. Aeglopsis Chevallieri is a small spiny tree from tropical West Africa and bears a fruit with a thin hard shell of orange color, but inside it is filled with a mucilaginous mass that is highly aromatic. It is reported growing in swamps near the sea and it may be strongly resistant to alkali. The U.S. department of agriculture is testing it in the greenhouses at Washington as a stock for other citrus fruits. There are a dozen or more species of Atalantia ranging from India to Australia and several of them have been recommended for cross-breeding with our better known citrous fruits. The fruits look like small oranges with a lemon skin, which in some species is edible, but in others the trees are being tried merely for stock to work citrus on, while fruits of others yield oil. Some of these trees range to forty feet in height. On account of the vigor and size of some species of Balsamocitrus it is thought they may prove of value on which to work other trees. They are native to Tropical Africa and bear orange-like fruits six inches in diameter filled with an amber-colored fragrant gum. The empty fruits of one species have been much used for paw breeding trial. Hurran for the climbing orange! These trees range through India, Cochin-China, and the Malayan Archipelago and bear small lemon-colored resinous fruits the size of pigeons' eggs. The finger-lime of Australia has fruits of finger shape with a pungent acid juice and the tree is recommended only for budding and breeding purposes on account of its extreme hardiness. The tree grows forty feet and has a variety bearing blood-red fruit with pinkish pulp. There are five species of this tree, Microcitrus by name, and one bears a lime equal in flavor to the best, but the fruits are not finger shaped. In India and Ceylon, in sandy soil near the coast is a small citrous tree named Pamburus missionis that bears small fruits filled with gum. It is thought it may prove good stock for light sandy soil. Papeda Histryx is used in the Philippines on which to graft the more common stock, but its fruits are not edible, but sour and acrid, though closely allied to the genus Citrus. The Filipinos use the fruits instead of soap for washing the hair. Paramigyna are evergreen climbers related to the orange having round lemon-colored fruits filled with gum, and twigs, leaves and spines somewhat hairy, the latter character usually ascribed to plants withstanding severe drought. Pleiospermium is but Greek for many-seeded! And there are two species of it native to India and elsewhere and though related to the orange the fruits are filled with that mucilaginous pulp so common in the citrus family. It is thought both species re worthy of trial as budding stock. Severinia buxifolia is a box-leaved plant not far from the orange but having black berries with no pulp as the orange, but fleshy and evidently a true berry. It is used as a hedge plant and doubtless has a value for budding stock for lands too salty for other citrus roots to grow. Triphasia trifolia is the lime-berry widely cultivated as an ornamental for the shrub is very attractive even when not in bloom and it flowers and fruits freely. It is of interest to the destruction avowed aim. To be discarded in the way of at risk strike.

The showing is and speaks much fast standing of the courthouse rolls of the state rate would be low wi it became known in Assessor Sleeper hall ment showing a t $96,676,173 for Oran The only county rate lower than thii perial county, which work citrus on, while fruits of others yield oil. Some of these trees range to forty feet in height. On account of the vigor and size of some species of Balsamocitrus it is thought they may prove of value on which to work other trees. They are native to Tropical Africa and bear orange-like fruits six inches in diameter filled with an amber-colored fragrant gum. The empty fruits of one species have been much used for powder flasks. The tabog is the common name of Chaetospermum glutinosa, native of Luzon in the Philippines. Oranges, lemons and all such trees have been successfully budded on the tabog, which shows a most vigorous root growth though the tree is a small one. Citropsis is known as the African cherry orange. This is an interesting tree which bears small bright colored oranges averaging about one inch in diameter, with an agreeable odor and a pleasant flavor, borne on the trees in tufts or branches, hence its common name. The trees have been cross-budded at Washington with the more common sorts. In its native Australia Eremocitrus is called the desert kumquat, and has been grown by the writer as an ornamental. It stands both heat and cold to a remarkable degree and buds well with the common kinds. It is the hardiest evergreen citrous tree known. The fruits are used for jam and pickles and for making cooling drinks. Feronia Limonia is known as the wood-apple, a deciduous tree from India that is being tested in California as a stock, all common kinds being budded on it. The fruit has a hard woody shell with an acid edible pulp plant not far from the orange but having black berries with no pulp as the orange, but fleshy and evidently a true berry. It is used as a hedge plant and doubtless has a value for budding stock for lands too salty for other citrous roots to grow. Triphasia trifolia is the lime-berry widely cultivated as an ornamental for the shrub is very attractive even when not in bloom and it flowers and fruits freely. It is of interest to the orchardist by reason of its growing in soil much too salty for any orange and therefore worthy of trial as budding stock. FOSTER, DESTROYER OF SOCIETY A study of the character of William Z. Foster, the man picked by Mr. Gompers to organize the steel workers and lead their strike, gives an accurate conception of the forces that are behind the movement and the principles which impel them. Foster is a self-defined revolutionist. He has published a book entitled, "Syndicalism," in which he sets forth his theories of social re-organization. Direct action is the means with which he purposes to attain his ends. "The present so-called capitalistic system must be destroyed," says Mr. Foster. "The way to accomplish it is to organize the working people into great syndicalist organizations—revolutionary labor unions." "The political state as at present constituted must be blown up, wrecked and cast aside. The way to accomplish this is by direct action—the general strike." "Labor must not stop to choose its ANAHEIM GAZETTE DOINGS OF THE CITY DADS URGENT NEED FOR NEW HEADQUARTERS Old High Cost Deals City Hard Jolt When Rent is Advanced to $125 per Month. It is obvious that the city will have to make some kind of a move to provide a municipal building as it is entirely out of the question to pay the rental now asked for the premises now used by the city. Rent like everything else has gone up and the city is now asked to pay $125 for its housing privileges in the Masonic Temple, being a raise of $50 per month. The city will have to make other arrangements. Whether the old city hall can be made safe for occupancy remains to be seen, even if no one resorts to injunction proceedings to forestall contemplated repairs. If the city ever needed a new hall now is that time, and that essential unit easily lays other projects in the shade, for the time being at least. MAYOR ACCUSES CLERK OF FALSIFYING RECORDS Minute Book Produced, Showing Sentiments of Trustee Correctly Recorded.—Implication Withdrawn. An incident occurred at the close of the meeting of the city trustees Thursday night, which, while not concurrent to the regular routine of business transacted, should be reported. When the repair of the old city hall was completed, Hart Building that will cost the City of Anaheim about thirty ($30.00) dollars. "The report was accepted." Trustee Backs reiterated that the report embodied a true account of his sentiments as previously expressed, and Mayor Dwyer observed that since his colleague was satisfied he would withdraw his accusation. Clerk Morritt thanked the board for having vindicated him from the implication of having falsified the city records, and the incident was closed. AND AGAIN THE OLD CITY HALL BOBS UP Many Believe Derelict Should Be Put Into Down-and-Out Class. The old city hall was condemned several years ago by several architects and builders who were appointed as an investigating committee to make an examination of the premises. Their report is now on file in the office of the city clerk. According to the findings of these gentlemen the structure was pronounced dangerous for occupancy. Even a member of the present board, who last spring was appointed as a committee to look over the corner rooms with a view of making some minor changes, reported to the council that he would under no consideration recommend the expenditure of another dollar upon the premises for repairs. This report also is inscribed upon the minutes of the board. Just what the trustees will do with the hall is not now apparent. The structure is in a delapidated condition. The foundation is very insecure. This is vouchered for... The destruction of society is Foster's avowed aim. To him morality is "dead wood," to be discarded when it stands in the way of attaining the ends of the strike. Murder, arson, and looting are Foster's admitted weapons, if by their use he can hasten the wrecking of our political state. There is absolutely nothing to distinguish the doctrines advocated by Foster from those preached and practiced by Lenine and Trotzky themselves. "The workers in each industry shall manage the affairs of their particular industry," reads his book. "The miners shall manage the mines, the railroaders manage the railroads, and so on through all the lines of human activity. Capitalism is organized robbery. Capitalists have no more right to the wealth they have amassed than a burglar has to his loot." We wonder to what extent the men whom Foster has induced to desert their jobs in the steel industry realize the manner of man who is directing their movements. The laboring element of this country do not have anarchy and bolshivism in their hearts. It is only when their evil passions are appealed to by such men as Foster, aided and abetted by Mr. Gompers, that reason deserts them and they adopt methods that will only bring about their own destruction. TAX RATE LOW IN ORANGE COUNTY Lowest of Any County in State with the Exception of Imperial. According to a statement issued by State Controller Chambers, Orange county's tax rate is next to the lowest county rate among the fifty-eight counties of the state. The showing is a remarkable one, and speaks much for the excellent standing of the county in the assessment rolls of the state. That the tax rate would be low was conceded when it became known in July that County Assessor Sleeper had given an assessment showing a total valuation of $96,676,173 for Orange county. The only county in the state with a rate lower than this county's is Imperial county, which secured a low rate by reason of the fact that the destruction of society is Foster's avowed aim.

The only county in the state with a rate lower than this county's is Imperial county, which secured a low rate by reason of the fact that the county board of equalization ordered every assessment in the county doubled. Had this action not been taken, the rate would have been $1.64 and $2.38. The Orange county rate is $1 per $100 of assessed valuation inside cities and $1.40 outside cities. There was no horizontal raise made in this county for the purpose of lowering the rate. Twenty-eight counties of the state have tax rates that are double or more than double the rates of Orange county. There are but seven counties in the state, including Orange county, that have rates under $1.50. Those seven counties are Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Modoc and Santa Clara. A petition for the abandonment of four roads in the old townsite of Carlton, near Olinda, is scheduled for hearing before the board of supervisors on November 5 at 11 o'clock. The petition is signed by J. H. Barton and others. It is understood that oil activities near Olinda resulted in the filing of the request for the abandonment of the roads in question.

"Trustee Backs reported: That in looking over the old Hart Building, a part of the old City Hall for Fire Department purposes, he finds the upper floors of the building in very bad condition, and feels that the City of Anaheim should not pay out any more money on that old building. The records of the City of Anaheim show that a committee was appointed for safety purposes to inspect the old City Hall building and declared "the building to be unsafe for public use," and he believes that if accidents should occur, caused by the condition of the building the City of Anaheim will be held liable for such accidents. "The City of Anaheim should build up and encourage others to build and improve this city, and in making the new improvements the City of Anaheim and the people will be benefitted in many wrys. "The Fire Department is in good quarters and the City of Anaheim may not receive any reduction in rent should it vacate the rooms and truck building and move to the old building. "It is wrong and a shame to spend any more money on the old building and a mistake was made when he was appointed to look after the wipow shades for the ably some of the pretty Anaheim girls will be writing to him enclosing their photographs. They should remember that a certain amount of formality is required in addressing royalty. Don't begin your letter by addressing him as "Dear Sir," or "Dear Ed," and winding up with "Yours truly." Either one is a faux pas that would mark you in the eyes of the ninth assistant royal custodian of the paper knife, who opens the Prince's correspondence, as a person who very likely eats peas with a knife. There's only one proper way to address His Royal Highness, and to make sure that all intending correspondents may know it, the Duke of Devonshire, Governor-General of Canada and personal representative of the King in the colony of Canada, has been conducting an educational campaign. The way to start the letter, according to the duke, is thus: "To His Royal Highness Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, in the peerage of the United Kingdom; Duke of Cornwall, in the peerage of England; Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick and Baron of Renfrew, in the peerage of Scotland, Lord of the Isles and Great Steward of Scotland, K.

Fullerton California WAR RISK INSURANCE The Bureau of War Risk Insurance wishes to emphasize the importance to service men of one of the provisions of the War Risk Insurance Act upon the fulfillment of which may depend the validity of their claim to compensation under the Act. The War Risk Insurance Act provides that "No Compensation shall be payable for death or disability which does not occur prior to or within one year after discharge or resignation from the service, except that where, after a medical examination made pursuant to regulations, at the time of dis- charge or resignation from the service, or within such reasonable time thereafter, not exceeding one year, as may be allowed by regulations, a certificate has been obtained from the director to the effect that the injured person at the time of his discharge or resignation was suffering from injury likely to result in death or disability." Many discharged men are not familiar with or are inclined to disregard this provision of law and are allowing their rights thereunder to lapse. Request for the certificate mentioned above should be made to the Chief Medical Advisor, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D.C.
