Marcosson says of the peace treaty at the time of the President's return from Europe, "Despite the disappointment over President Wilson's personal performance there was still hope that the nation which sent him abroad would back him up." But the nation did not send him abroad. He took himself abroad, in violation of all precedent, and against the judgment of both his political friends and his political opponents. Moreover, he had, but a few weeks before, delivered an address to the people of the country on the eve of an election in which he said: "The return of a Republican majority to either house of Congress would, moreover, certainly be interpreted on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership. If you have approved of my leadership and wish me to continue to be your unembarrassed spokesman in affairs at home and abroad, I earnestly beg that you will express yourselves place of meeting is not yet decided upon but that an announcement of the convention and the program planned for the two days is being sent out to the convention members today by Mr. Stibbens and himself.

Cracking California walnuts with a hammer is a thing of the past. Modern housewives crack them with a can-opener. This method has been made possible by the California Walnuts plant at Santa Housewives terested in kernella Walnut has just published entitled "One Walnut Recipe principal of School. This cook booking story of this article VACUUM PACKED CALIFORNIA WALNUTS New Process of Putting Up the Nuts for Market. Cracking California walnuts with a hammer is a thing of the past. Moderrr housewives crack them with a can-opener. This method has been made possible by the California Walnut Growers' Association, which is now putting up 1,000,000 cans of Diamond brand shelled walnuts, vacuum packed, in half-pound tins. Mother nature canned California walnuts in shells, but man has discovered a better way to preserve them. Since the public has fallen into the habit of using walnuts the year around, there is a demand for fresh walnuts, at all times, and vacuum packed walnuts supply this need. They have the call for more reasons than one. First of all, they are fresh. The next great advantage is that they are cracked. This is what appeals to the housewife. Maybe she wants a few halves for a cake or a salad in July or August, and she doesn't want to pound her fingers with a hammer in cracking nuts. She calls up the grocer and is likely to learn that he has no more walnuts in bulk, but that he has nice amber walnut meats in cans. A can-opener a twist of the wrist, and the needs of Mrs. Housewife are supplied. Out of California's annual crop of walnuts, amounting to approximately 50,000,000 pounds, there are generally about 3,000,000 pounds which are slightly under size according to the high grading standard of the California Walnut Growers' Association, or perhaps the shells of many are discolored or broken, making them unsuitable for the choice bulk pack. For half a dozen years all such walnuts have been cracked, and the hand-sorted meats have been sold to confectioners, grocers and bakers. Housewives have been heavy buyers of these meats, but have not all ways been able to obtain them, because some grocers in small communities have been reluctant to carry them, fearing that if they were not sold out quickly they might be plant at Santa Ana.

To acuse his nation of "repudiating" its good name is an offense for which Mr. Marcosson should be called to account before the bar of public opinion, if nowhere else. It is upon such talk that bolshevism feeds. If Mr. Marcosson can accuse his country of repudiating its good name, why cannot the bearer of a Red Flag do the same with impunity? If the people of this country take the President at his word and repudiate his leadership by their votes at a national election, and then Mr. Marcosson can be permitted to proclaim that the people sent Mr. Wilson to Europe as their spokesman, why cannot the Red agitator with equal impunity declare that every victory for law and order is in reality an endorsement of the campaign of lawlessness? One would be just as true as the other, and Mr. Marcosson knows it. To say that this nation sent Mr. Wilson, to Europe, to say that the good name of this nation was signed to the peace treaty, or to say that this nation has repudiated its name, is false, and any man who makes the statements is a menace to orderly constitutional government in the United States. He is a besmircher of the good name of the nation under the protection of whose flag he lives. CONVENTION AT RIVERSIDE The first joint convention of the Conty Tax Collectors and Auditors of California will be held at Riverside on February 20 and 21, with C. O. Reid, county auditor, and C. R. Stibbens, county tax collector, as hosts. Mr. Reid announced this morning that the housewives have been heavy buyers of these meats, but have not always been able to obtain them, because some grocers in small communities have been reluctant to carry them, fearing that if they were not sold out quickly they might become old. And so the canned walnut came into being, meeting with instant popularity, because it went on the grocer's shelf in every hamlet, village, town and city all over the country. Vacuum packed California shelled walnuts will keep indefinitely, according to C. Thorpe, of Los Angeles, general manager of the association which is putting them on the market. The organization, he says, experimented with the product two years before offering it to the public, testing the cans under all sorts of climatic conditions and finding that the contents were just as fresh when removed from the tins as they were the day they were packed. A complicated piece of machinery which weighs and seals the shelled halves into tins after they have been cracked by machinery and sorted by hand, pumps the air out of each container and seals it air-tight automatically, thereby making it possible for the housewife, who is the greatest consumer of walnuts, to obtain them every day in the year, with the positive assurance that they will be fresh and savory. More than 1,000 women were employed in the Los Angeles by-product plant where At Your Disposal 104,278 CUBIC FEET For Storage Purposes We have a fine concrete basement to store all kinds of fruit, potatoes, etc. Our first floor to store household goods, PIANOS, Merchandise.

Scores are employed in the plant at Santa Ana. Housewives will doubtless be interested in knowing that the California Walnut Growers' Association has just published an artistic book entitled "One Hundred Delicious Walnut Recipes," by Alice Bradley, principal of the Boston Cooking School. This cookbook tells the interesting story of the walnut's importance as an article of diet, and gives the Van Loon said that the step was taken by Washington, D.C., authorities on requests from the federal loan bank of the eleventh district, and because of the thoroughness and excellence of the work of the San Diego association. The San Diego association has changed its bylaws so that it can become the Southern California association, and so that it can meet the request from the Washington authorities. The association will hold jurisdiction over Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego. Riverside and Imperial counties. The San Diego Farm Lands Association was originally organized in the Ramona district and now has a membership of 130. Henry Baldwin, M.W. Jones, A.C. Whiting, H.A. Warnock and Bruce Dye, all of San Diego county, constituted the new board of directors elected. Operations of the association throughout Southern California will not conflict with any other farm loan associations, but on the contrary will work with them. WORLD FINANCING From the fact that the American dollar is about the only world money at par and furthermore, due to an unlimited supply over here, while there is a shortage in many other countries, the United States is expected to finance the world without any regard for home industries. It may be good policy to build up English, French and Belgium industries with American money and then with a Free-Trade Housewives will doubtless be interested in knowing that the California Walnut Growers' Association has just published an artistic book entitled "One Hundred Delicious Walnut Recipes," by Alice Bradley, principal of the Boston Cooking School. This cook book tells the interesting story of the walnut's importance as an article of diet, and gives the housewife definite instructions regarding the preparation of walnut muffins, Diamond scones, Winchester nut bread, Swedish nut rolls, toasted nut sandwiches, walnut roulettes, cinnamon toast with walnuts, sweet potato and walnut croquettes, nut and cheese loaf, walnut meat cakes, nut sausages, eggplant with walnuts deceit salad, jellied walnuts frozen walnut pudding, Florida fruit cake, walnut crumb cake, walnut filled cookies, walnut penuche, walnut date bars, and dozens of other delightful table delicacies. While they last, these recipe books will be sent free to housewives, on application.

BRYAN'S STRATEGIC POWER With President Wilson ill and out of the running for a third term, and out of power to swing the force of his position and following with full effect, William Jennings Bryan, the nestor of Democratic statesmen, stands forth today as the assuring or disquieting figure for the Democrats, just as he may be taken. It is believed that he will have much to do with the framing of the platform for his party, and that platform will give foremost place to industrial questions, the labor problems involved in the great strikes, those Vesuvian eruptions that have proved so disquieting to the country. The tariff, likewise, will stand forth as one of the big subjects. It will not be surprising to find Bryan so dictating the policy of his party as to cause the Republicans likewise to give more emphasis to the labor questions than otherwise might be the case. Will Bryan himself be a plant at Santa Ana. From the fact that the American dollar is about the only world money at par and furthermore, due to an unlimited supply over here, while there is a shortage in many other countries, the United States is expected to finance the world without any regard for home industries. It may be good policy to build up English, French and Belgium industries with American money and then with a Free-Trade Tariff allow the products made with American capital to come back and be sold in the United States in competition with home-made goods. This is what is happening at the present time, and the loan issues for our foreign competitors is on the increase and estimated to reach a billion dollars. It is not easy for thinking men and women to be worked into a war-time frenzy to subscribe money for a low interest world financing scheme, when in the same newspapers exploiting such a plan they read that English, French and Italian money in huge amounts is being put into speculative industrials, mines, and wild cat issues and that their government loans are not attractive. It looks to be a case of "Let George do it." We stepped in at the right time and won the war for the Allies and now we can pay for it. Home interests can sink or swim unless they are in the ring. Our banks will urge denials to subscribe to the British loan for instance and turn down without ceremony the request for help from the average home manufacturer of small means unless he has 500 per cent gilt-edge collateral to cover his loan. And we are wondering why we are in such a period of unrest. There are at least 100 competent mill men anxious to start a small manufacturing business, but lack the capital. Will any bank or financial factory help them? We have not heard of a case yet, unless the proposed plant and business was hocked with the man's house and lot and his personal belongings almost to his shirt, yet it is part of the campaign to educate the public that it is patriotic to subscribe to a foreign loan or a world financing scheme.—Boston Fibre and Fabric. MEAT MARKETS WANT BETTER HOUR SYSTEM Propose to Close Shops at 7 o'clock Saturday Evening. Meat markets opening at 8 o'clock in the morning and closing at 6, five evenings of the week and 7 o'clock on Saturday nights, is proposed by the Meat Cutters' Union of Orange county, and a committee composed of cutters and employers has this matter before them, as a result of their appointment Monday night at a meeting of employers and employees held at Woodman's hall, Santa Ana. There were between forty and fifty employers and employees of the county in attendance, the business session being preceded by a banquet prepared and provided by the meat cutters. The session was the first of its character to have been held in Santa Ana and was for the purpose of bringing about a closer social relationship between the butchers and their employers and at the same time give the market owners and managers an opportunity of hearing the workman's side of the story as to laboring conditions, particularly with reference to hours. The hours suggested for Orange county are in operation in the northern part of the state and are said to be giving the public satisfaction, it being a matter of educating the public to a new policy and the meat buyers adapting themselves to the hours. President Murray of the state organization of meat cutters was present from San Francisco and sounded a note of warning from the danger to the butcher shop proprietors by saving many weeks' delay. industrial questions, the labor problems involved in the great strikes, those Vesuvian eruptions that have proved so disquieting to the country. The tariff, likewise, will stand forth as one of the big subjects. It will not be surprising to find Bryan so dictating the policy of his party as to cause the Republicans likewise to give more emphasis to the labor questions than otherwise might be the case. Will Bryan himself be a candidate, and will he receive the nomination? He would certainly not be adverse to running unless he were convinced that someone else might make a better showing—a spirit of humility that he has not displayed in the past. With Bryan in the position of strategic power, the line of Democratic available for the nomination may prove to be but a line of ghostly shades of hopes given untimely death. At the present moment no one can hope to receive the nomination of the Democratic party toward whom William Jennings Bryan does not point his finger. When he does this he may be standing before a mirror seeming to point it toward someone else, but in reality pointing it toward himself. FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION Orange county is to be included in what is to be known as the First National Farm Land Association of Southern California. According to an announcement made in San Diego by W. A. Van Loon, secretary-treasurer of the Federal Farm Lands Association of San Diego county, San Diego becomes the headquarters for federal farm loans for Southern California. Congressman Kettner has sent to this office a number of packages of flower seeds which will be distributed free to the fist callers. The supply is very limited and will last but a few days. Congressman Kettner writes us that he has at his disposal the following rare field seeds: 25 4-pound packages of Peruvian alfalfa; 100 4-pound packages of feterita; 50 2-pound packages of soy beans; 200 1-pound packages of Sudan grass; 25 -2pound packages of Rhodes grass. If anyone wishes to try these he should write to Mr. Kettner at 237 House office building, Washington. After delays extending over a period of about eight months, preparations are in full swing for early action in connection with paving a section of a little more than two miles of Orange-thorpe avenue, from the Spadra road east to the paved road on Placentia avenue, the Board of Supervisors having instructed District Attorney L. A. West to go ahead with necessary proceedings preliminary to a call for bids. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. President Murray of the state organization of meat cutters was present from San Francisco and sounded a note of warning from the danger to the butcher shop proprietors by the shops operated by Chinese and Japanese. Chinese in San Francisco and Japanese in Portland, Ore., are equipping high-class shops in these two cities, according to Murray. He declared that some of these shops were the best he had ever seen in point of equipment and furnishings, with the shops kept scrupulously neat. He declared that the foreigners give out the information that they pay their cutters $25 per week, but investigation had disclosed that the owners give their men only enough of their wages to pay their actual living costs, plus a little for shaves, and that the balance goes into a jack pot. On New Year's the jackpot is opened and if there is any cash in it, it is divided among the employees. Usually there is nothing in the pot, according to his statement. The low wages paid the Japanese and Chinese made such markets unfair competitors with shops run by Americans. Their operation is threatening the business of shops conducted by Americans, who pay the high wage to employees who cannot live as cheaply as the foreigners. Vice-president Pike of San Jose also was in attendance and made an ad- Better Get In Line for YOUR Fordson Tractor 242 Satisfied Owners in Orange County 117 Orders written since Nov. 1, 1919 76 Tractors delivered since Nov. 1, 1919 68 Unfilled Orders on File at Present If we deliver but one each day, it would take until April 5, 1920, to fill our present orders.

All visiting Jayhawkers as well as residents are invited to attend this get-acquainted picnic. Allegations that Albert Murrillo and Alonzo Yorba moved a house from an acre of land at Olive against the wishes of the owner, were contained in a suit filed Tuesday in superior court and through which Gerardo P. Preciado will seek a judgment totaling $1450. The alleged "theft" of the house occurred on October 12, last. On the same date, the complaint recited, Murrillo and Yorba, "with intent to injure the plaintiff, wilfully and maliciously" cut down two bearing navel orange trees, alleged to be worth $150 each. In addition, the complaint alleged, the defendants, on the date stated, trod down shrubbery, and flowers on the premises of the plaintiff. In his complaint, which was filed through Attorneys Antonio Orfila and Earnest R. Orfila, of Los Angeles, Preciado Hsted his damages as follows: For the value of the house that Mr. Lansing and the President are not in touch. They have not met in recent months. hTe President, according to daily reports, sees other members of the Cabinet, certain Senators, and certain favorites like Mr. Baruch and Mr. McAdoo. Bct the "Prime Minister of America" is treated as a clerical subordinate. Will Secretary Lansing continue to stand by his guns and remain invulnerable to such a condition is now a matter of public knowledge, or will he in common with others who have braved the Wilson displeasure, at last succumb to the inevitable and resign a post which he is not allowed to fill and which apparently the President would be willing to see him vacate? Anaheim has a population of 9,000 in the city proper and it is hard to determine where the city confines stop, for the entire district is a city of homes and small estates, the owners of which are, as far as business relations are concerned, a part of Anaheim, although not numbered to her credit in the census tabulation. Anaheim is located in the northern part of Orange county—"Nature's Prolific Wonderland"—27 miles from Los Angeles and but 15 miles from the blue Pacific, with its cooling and invigorating breezes. Anaheim is a transportation center, being served by the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Salt Lake and Pacific Electric railroads. The city is also on the State Highway, El Camino Real (The Kings Highway), which connects Anaheim with Los Angeles, San Diego and her nearby sister cities as well as all of the State of California. Anaheim has five strong banks with combined deposits of nearly $3,000,000. These banks mostly occupy their own The Orange County Iowa Association will hold its annual picnic at Birch Park, Santa Ana, Saturday. All former Iowans are invited. A CABINET CYPHER Mr. Lansing has certainly proved the possession of the quality of patience. He has subscribed to things that would have brought the prompt resignation of the average man in official life. The empty title of Secretary of State is all that has been really his. The regular duties of that office, and the management of the Department of State, were long ago taken from him. The President has given to Mr. Lansing neither his cooperation nor his confidence. At Paris, as a member of the Peace Commission, he was made to play the part of a cipher in the proceedings, and in full view of the representatives of the leading nations of the world. The recent inquiry into Mexican affairs by the Senate showed clearly Anaheim is a transportation center, being served by the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Salt Lake and Pacific Electric railroads. The city is also on the State Highway, El Camino Real (The Kings Highway), which connects Anaheim with Los Angeles, San Diego and her nearby sister cities as well as all of the State of California. Anaheim has five strong banks with combined deposits of nearly $3,000,000. These banks mostly occupy their own substantial buildings. No community of its size in America can boast a more modern city. Up-to-date, fireproof business blocks are the rule, banks and stores which would be a credit to a city of ten times its size, miles of paved streets and an air of cleanliness everywhere. Business is good in Anaheim—the very smallest business houses scintillate with an atmosphere of prosperity. There is no business in the world more healthful and interesting than the raising of oranges. Neither is there any business of similar investment more profitable than orange growing in that section of California where conditions are naturally and abundantly present for the successful and economical raising of a high grade of fruit. Not all orange groves are profitable and not all sections where you see orange trees growing are adapted to the successful production of fruit from a commercial standpoint. In some sections of the orange belt of California, in recent years, smudge pots were fired night after night to keep the fruit from freezing. This great handicap of expense cost them an average of a hundred and thirty-five dollars per acre. In the frostless section around Anaheim the orange growers did not fire any smudge pots; in fact, this is something they never find it necessary to do. You will find no smudge pots in the Anaheim district.
