FULLERTON'S SEWER MUDDLE Notification was received by the county clerk Saturday that the city trustees of Fullerton and the chamber of commerce of Buena Park had completed "satisfactory arrangements" in connection with a sewer line right of way, which the county board of supervisors was requested to grant, and which was protested by residents of Buena Park. The notification was contained in a letter signed by F. C. Hezmalhalch, city clerk of Fullerton. The letter read, in part: "On December 20 the city of Fullerton petitioned the board of supervisors to ra permit to lay a pipe-line along the westerly side of Grand avenue, in Buena Park, from Artesia street, 2000 feet northerly, and the petition was withheld pending a meeting of the board of trustees of Fullerton with the chamber of commerce of Buena Park, and action was held up till January 13. "This meeting was held and other satisfactory arrangements have been made by the trustees of the city of Fullerton and the chamber of commerce of Buena Park, so we will not need the right of way peptitioned for." The city attorney of Fullerton was quoted as saying that since the protest entered by residents of Buena Park, plans for the securing of the right of way in question were "up in the air." The city of Fullerton has no definite plans, at this time, for a solution of the sewer line problem, it was stated. In this connection, a communication and the many other beautiful and useful things which make you happy and content? You are earnestly invited to attend a delightful and instructive talk on interior decorating and house furnishing to be vigen by Mrs. Kapp, a highly qualified lady who comes under the auspices of the Anaheim Union High School art department, at the high school auditorium on Friday, January 16, at 10:45 a.m. No admission charge. COUNTERFEITING THE NAVY'S HONOR In some respects, the awarding of medals by the Navy Department is the trivial matter which Secretary Daniels seems to have considered it. A medal is not an honor, it is a mere token of honor, and may be as spurious as a counterfeit token of wealth—a dollar made of lead. Like all other counterfeits, a sham medal is sure to be found out and will bring embarrassment and humiliation to the holder. If, therefore, the medals were to be awarded according to the whim of the secretary, it made little difference where they went, for no one would place much value upon them. Like the iron crosses of Germany, they might soon be for sale in the ten-cent stores. But in other respects the matter is of grave importance. It happens that Mr. Daniels was not acting in his individual capacity, but in behalf of the United States government, one of the fundamental principles of which finds expression in the status of the goddess mates today indulged of the citrus crop will go better than considerably in any made in the early when it was thought to $12,000,000 worthsays the ReqhTe exchange, territory south of cr,and includes district, handles off of the crop,and returns by independent year on the report figures,makes thc county a producer in citrus fruits in The exchange to the amount ocf which amounts December.

The city attorney of Fullerton was quoted as saying that since the protest entered by residents of Buena Park, plans for the securing of the right of way in question were "up in the air." The city of Fullerton has no definite plans, at this time, for a solution of the sewer line problem, it was stated. In this connection, a communication was filed by Cynthia A. Monroe, of Downey, and twenty-four other owners of property adjoining Coyote Creek, protesting the proposal to empty a sewer into the creek. "We are satisfied that such a project will seriously damage the value of our property both for residential and agricultural purposes," read the protest in part. THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL Texas is coming rapidly to the front in construction work along the Old Spanish Trail. One-third of the total mileage, 950 miles, is in Texas. Inasmuch as the work is well advanced from Los Angeles to the Texas line, and also in Louisiana, this Texas report becomes interesting. Of the 950 miles of highway through Texas, 280 miles are complete, mostly paved; 430 miles are now constructing or with cash in hand; 240 miles are unsettled, but Old Spanish Trail clubs and other interests are at work and favorable action is expected. H. L. Miller, president of the Old Spanish Trail Association, states that "it is believed the Old Spanish Trail will be open in good shape for tourists and general travel from Los Angeles to New Orleans by the winter of 1920-1921. It will not be complete, but for that distance it will one of the most advanced overland highways in the United States. The highway work in Texas is being done with the idea of permanence. Bad crooks and turns are being straightened and distances shortened. Cement bridges are being built, even over small waterways. New courses are being surveyed to avoid low levels. tBeween San Antonio and Houston the highway, when completed, will be shorter than the railroad. where they went, for no one would place much value upon them. Like the iron crosses of Germany, they might soon be for sale in the ten-cent stores. But in other respects the matter is of grave importance. It happens that Mr. Daniels was not acting in his individual capacity, but in behalf of the United States government, one of the fundamental principles of which finds expression in the statue of the goddess of Justice, with eyes blind-folded, and holding a balance in her uplifted hand. If we are to have law and order, and respect for governent, those who are entrusted with governmental power must exercise that power in such a way as to command respect. It is difficult for the ordinary citizen and particularly for the young, the uneducated, and the lately arrived immigrant to distinguish between the government and the officer exercising the power of government. Except to the discerning mind, the act of an official is the act of government, and an unjust act is a breach of fatih by government, arousing contempt and instigating defiance of law. There is no doubt about that. The child in the home, the pupil in the school, and later, the citizen in active life, learns to distrust and disobey the authority that he cannot trust. Bolshevism has its most potent aids in the acts of public officials who misuse their power for the reward of friends or teh punishment of foes. But Mr. Daniels is not without high example in the course he has pursued. Awarding a medal to a naval officer who has not earned it, is no more a breach of trust than for a President to promise adherence to the merit system in the civil service and then cast the merit system to the four winds. Appointments to the civil service are in the nature of rewards of merit, no less than bestowing of medals. Nor is it as great an offense against public duty for a Secretary of the Navy to attempt to pin a distinguished service medal upon the breast of one who has not earned it, than it is for a President to use his power in an attempt to place a senatorial toga about the shoulders of one who is notoriously unfit. To grant a medal to a com- This staggering of thieftems threatens the wealth of Oranje brought the court before the people one of the very few in the value of these nearly equal to those of the county.

Bad crooks and turns are being straightened and distances shortened. Cement bridges are being built, even over small waterways. New courses are being surveyed to avoid low levels. tBeween San Antonio and Houston the highway, when completed, will be shorter than the railroad. "It is quite likely the trail will be ready for travel this summer from East Texas to the hills of Boerne, Comfort and Kerrville, in West Texas. Construction is now proceeding in most of these counties, and where construction has not yet begun plans are rapidly whipping into shape. Money is in hand, Old Spanish Trail clubs are organizing in each county and the state highway department is co-operating. West of Kerrville, through the great cattle ranges, all counties are preparing to do their part." ART LECTURE Our home is the center of our life. It radiates our personality and reflects our tastes. A home that is a beauty spot becomes not only an inspiration but a thing to love and cherish as our very own. This is a great problem facing everyone of us—the problem of the artistic decoration and furnishing of our homes. Have you ever stopped for a moment in your daily rush to delight yourself in the artistic arrangement and selection of things in your home? How would you like to have many suggestions offered you by an expert as to the decoration of your home, the selection and arrangement of your furniture, pictures, draperies, rugs, CITRUS CROP LARGER THAN FIRST ESTIMATEE Ornge County's Production Past Year Reaches $16,000,000.

The exchange has received cash to the amount of $5845,000, $718,000 of which amount was received in December. Returns for the last season crop, yet to be had, will bring the exchange total to $6,000,000. Figures Not Available Figures are not available from the Northern Orange County Fruit exchange. A request was made for them this morning. It is not known, however, that the north half of the county produced as much as did the south half, making the total $16,000,000 with this figure possible of increase by possibility ofthe north half having received a greater amount of money than the solutub半. This staggering total is only one of thieems that enter into the wealth of Orange county, and has brought the county consjiciously before the people of other state as one of the very few counties in which Charter No. 6481.

There are people in the smaller cities who believe that the shake-up given fake clairvoyants and alleged mindreaders in the larger cities should be extended to other communities, where these gentry ply their calling. All right, let's go! A man who was picked up for having a still in his possession got a hard jolt from your Uncle Samuel. There are several kinds of stills, but the best way to work a still is to keep it still. An eastside rancher who can look out of his kitchen window and see the nearby oil derricks, puts it thus-wise: "Now, if anyone of them get oil my ranch is going to be worth some money.

Say, this oil business is great to chase away the gloom. So long." But, by heck, mate, what if they all pull dry holes. A skilled mechanic was heard to remark the other day that he draws down $10 a day and for one day when he worked overtime he received $27 for the day's work. No wonder things are high. A fashionably dressed young man rushed into a drugstore in a nearby coast town a few days ago and fell upon the floor, supposedly in agony, for he was frothing at the mouth. He uttered a few incoherent words that sounded something like "skle," whereupon the frightened attendant, believing the man had been bitten by a snake, brought forth a good sized drink of whiskey and gave it to the apparently distressed one, who soon recovered. But he only had been blowing bubbles and had some of the soap in his mouth. POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS In order to assist the farmers in a practical way, Representative Sidney Anderson, of Minnesota, has introduced in the House a bill which provides for the creation of a bureau of agricultural engineering in the Department of Agriculture for the purpose of testing and certifying farm tractors. "The object of the bureau," says the bill, "shall be the acquiring and dissemination of useful information pertaining to the art and science of engineering as applied to agriculture. Including the design, construction, testing, and certification, standardization, repair, operation, application and economics of farm motors, implements, machines, vehicles, tools and other mechanical farm operating equipment; farm buildings and building equipment; farm lighting, power, heating, ventilating, water supply, and sanitation system; farm drainage and irrigation; and the application of engineering methods and engineering science to all of them. The bill introduced by Representative Carl W. Riddick, of Montana, to provide $4,000,000 for loans to farmers in drought-stricken sections of the United States for the purchase of seed for the 1920 spring planting is meeting with general approval among the farmers. It is stated in the bill that no lona shall be made to any farmer in a greater sum than $300, and that all loans shall be made through national or state banks, and be secured by a first lien on the crop planted with seed so secured. Any one making a false oath as to the facts is fined $1,000 or imprisoned six months or both.
