PROVES HIM INTERNATIONALIST The Hoover boom has now reached the point where the rudiments of a platform are appearing. Of course entirely without volition on his part, but at the solicitation of "my friends," the candidate has issued a statement. Purporting to inform the people what principles he intends to support when he casts his vote next November, he lays before them his views on some national questions. Mr. Hoover well knows that the public has no more interest in his individual vote than in that of the ballot of any other citizen, and he ought to realize that when he discusses campaign questions the people will know that he does so in the capacity of a candidate. They are not to be deceived by the statement that "I have not sought and am not seeking the Presidency." Stripped of its generalities the Hoover platform contains but a single specific plank. "I must vote for the party that stands for the league," he declares. Mr. Hoover is a man of intelligence. He recognizes that the league is a party question, and that unless it is disposed of earlier it will be a party issue at the elections. If he is a candidate he will champion the league. Of course that single fact precludes his selection by the Republicans, even though nothing else prevented it. It stands as a warning to every Republican in the country that Hoover is an internationalist of the same type as the man who appointed him to power during the war. Mr. Hoover says he is being urged by people of both parties to declare his allegiance to one or the other. He declines, however, to do "until it more large increase in automobile insurance" Amount Written Almost Double What It Was a Year Ago. Independent enterprise manifested by motor car owner of Southern California has had its own reward as shown by the volume of business increase last year in the insurance department of the Automobile Club of Southern California, the first of its kind to appear in America. According to a statement issued for the year of 1919, it is shown that the volume of business transacted by the Club in 1919, through its Inter-Insurance Exchange reached the astonishing total of $1,347,000 as against a total of $628,253 for the preceding year. This is what co-operation among motorists can accomplish, it is pointed out by club officers, and that this cooperation has its own reward in the service given by the auto club in return for the support accorded it through the members. Where there were 79 employees of the Insurance Department of the organization in 1918, that number was increased to 162 in 1919 in order to supply service for the increase in volume of business handled. More than $300,000 was saved to individual automobile owners last year who had taken out their insurance with the automobile club, states the annual report. Of this, $250,000 was actually saved in original discounts. During the year, approximately $65,000 was returned in cash to insured members in premiums returned upon expiration. and cut.

IF FARMERS SHOULD Coming at a time when disastrous strike is declaration of the organ of the country commande The Naitonal Grange, Farm Bureau Federation Mr. Hoover says he is being urged by people of both parties to declare his allegiance to one or the other. He declines, however, to do "until it more definitely appears what the party managers stand for." Party principles are as definitely known today as they will be until the conventions adopt the planks in their platforms. If Mr. Hoover delays his affiliation with a party until after that is done he may find himself too late. More often than not the proceedings of a political convention is to nominate candidates and then turn to the adoption of a platform. If that course is followed this year it will be too late for Hoover, and he will be forced to run independently, although he says, "I do not believe in more than two great political parties." The former food administrator speaks of himself as "an American citizen by birth and of long ancestry." Information on Mr. Hoover's ancestors is not at hand, and might not be of great interest to American readers if it should be brought to light. Neither is it of special concern when selecting a Presidential candidate to know where the man spent his infancy, except to ascertain that he complies with the Constitutional requirement of American nativity. The important facts to be considered are as to where the candidate has spent his manhood and under what influences and surroundings he has formed his conceptions of American and international affairs. On that point Mr. Hoover is discreetly silent. It becomes the duty of others to tell the people of his 20-year association with British financiers, with his headquarters in London and his whole attention centered on matters entirely foreign to American thought. "I hope they (my friends) will realize my sincerity in not tying myself to undefined partisanship," concludes Mr. Hoover's initial political outgiving. Such a realization must indeed include his selection by the Republicans, even though nothing else prevented it. It stands as a warning to every Republican in the country that Hoover is an internationalist of the same type as the man who appointed him to power during the war. More than $300,000 was saved to individual automobile owners last year who had taken out their insurance with the automobile club, states the annual report. Of this, $250,000 was actually saved in original discounts. During the year, approximately $65,000 was returned in cash to insured members in premiums returned upon expiration. In 1918 about $150,000 was the amount saved to members through the Inter-Insurance Exchange, making an increase of double this amount in one year. Whether or not the Southern California idea is popular among those who have so far taken advantage of it is shown in the fact that there are about 21,900 motorists now insured through the Auto Club, where there were 12,549 in 1918. It is not a profit making proposition, it is pointed out, since all surplus is put into reserves and returned to the insured members. They are thus assured of full protection without parallel in insurance circles. What effect the availing number of accidents registered all over the United States in 1919 will have on insurance rates this year is problematical, according to Auto Club directors. Not only has Southern California suffered an abnormal loss in accident and theft carnivals, but so also has the east. At the present time there is a persistent rumor in eastern insurance marts of trade that rates on theft and accident are going to soar skyward in the near future unless motorists take it into their heads to cut out the boulevard jazz stuff and get down to the business of operating their cars like rational human beings. The situation in Southern California is acute now, and has been acute for the past five months, say the officials. It will be the automobile owners themselves who will bring on an increase in insurance rates, it is pointed out, and the penalty they will pay for their carelessness will not be a light one, and it will hit each individual right where he lives—namely, in his little old pocketbook. If such a contemplated rate increase is actually put into effect, it will supply service for the increase inume of business handled.

"I hope they (my friends) will realize my sincerity in not tying myself to undefined partisanship," concludes Mr. Hoover's initial political outgiving. Such a realization must indeed be with a feeling of pity for a man without the capacity to absorb from a daily review of events a well-defined idea of what marks the division between the Republican and Democratic parties. If he can not comprehend those differences now, the written planks of a platform can be expected to let but little more light into his mind. What a commentary on the other candidates now in the field—Does Mr. Hoover mean to charge that none of them knows what he stands for and what he opposes? NEVER LEARED TO TALK Three children have been discovered in Pomona, who have never learned to talk, although they are of school age. It is said that the parents of the children have always considered themselves too busy to teach the children to talk, and as a result they have developed a gibberish language of their own, which they have made suffice among themselves for so long that they are reluctant to learn any other. They are now separated and being sent to different schools in an attempt to enable them to learn the English language. Their parents are Americans. COLLIDES WITH PALM TREE, IS SERIOUSLY INJURED Los Angeles Man in Smash-Up South of Town. Hurled through the windshield and twenty feet from the car when it hit a palm tree while traveling at high speed, Fred Teetzle was taken to the Orange county hospital at an early hour Wednesday morning for treatment for severe injuries. A piece of bone about two inches in size was chipped off the top of his hip bone on the left side and he was bruised. Here is a question decided before the writer.

Driving to San Diego Tuesday on its usual trip, his car developed trouble at San Diego and he borrowed a Cadillac for the return trip. Bowling along the Anaheim boulevard at a fast speed, it is asserted, the driver failed to make the turn in the road at the point where the boulevard crosses the Southern Pacific branch to Tustin, immediately north of the El Retiro rancho. The high powered car crashed into a big palm tree on the opposite side of the street, Teetzle being thrown through the windshield. He and his friend were taken to the Orange county hospital together. The latter did not appear to be very badly hurt and was put to bed while the attending physician and nurses were treating Teetzle. While the hospital attendants were thus employed the man got up dressed and left the hospital, presumably being taken to Los Angeles by a friend. The car is badly wrecked. It is registered under the name of Mrs. Landers of Hollywood. Only the two men were in the car.

The Naitonal Grange, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Cotton miss a day Leghorns. She had missed two days and laid two eggs on the third day. Experienced poultrymen who Hoganize frequently hold their best hens into their fifth laying season. It is poor practice to sell the old hens every year, or every two years, where one hatches at home, for if immature stock is used year after year to produce hatching eggs, the flock will deteriorate in vigor and size. Each February the breeding fowls for the next year should be selected. The best looking hens and cockerels should be noted, as well as those with a history back of them of heavy egg laying by their mothers. This is the interesting part of poultry raising, as well as the means of making it pay. Trap nests should be used in March, April, May and June, and the average of the four months taken. Multiplying this by ten will give the yearly production of the hen, as two months are occupied in the moult. NO CEMENT BIDS In response to the call of the California Highway Commission, addressed to the principal Portland cement companies of the State, for bids to furnish the California Highway Commission with cement for highway construction in lots of 500,000, 750,000 and 1,000,000 barrels, no bids were offered. The bid was asked by the commission in the hope that a lower price might be received by the commission from the cement companies of the State than that now being given by NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ANAHEIM SUGAR COMPANY Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Sugar Company will be held at the office of the corporation at its factory adjacent to the City of Anaheim, California, on Monday, March 1st, 1920, at the hour of 2 o'clock, P.M., for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors for the ensuing year, and for the transaction of any business that may be legally brought before it.

Dated this 7th day of February, 1920. H. A. DICKEL IF FARMERS SHOULD STRIKE Coming at a time when a particularly disastrous strike is threatened, a declaration of the organized farmers of the country commands attention. The Naitonal Grange, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Cotton States Board and the Association of State Farmers Union Presidents have challenged something that organized labor in general holds sacred, the "right to strike." They say: "What would be the verdict of the people if the farmers of the United States should suddenly decide to go on a strike and refuse to supply the wants and needs of those who are not in a position to produce food and clothing for themselves? "They would be condemned from one end of the country to the other, and the fact would be pointed out that they, as the owners and tillers of the land, had no right, either moral or legal, to bring about such a calamity. "If the farmers who own and occupy the land have no such moral or legal right, then why should it be conceded by anyone that those who handle the farmers' products have a right to block the transportation or industrial facilities of the country and thus jeopardize the food and clothing supply of the nation? "No such right has ever existed, and no such right exists now. It is economically unsound. "No set of men has ever had the moral or legal right to destroy property or cause suffering by conspiring together, and the welfare of all the people must ever remain superior to that of any class or group of people." Here is a question which must be decided before the world is much older. The answer indicated by many disinterested thinkers is that neither strikes nor lockouts are to be tolerated any more in our highly organized society—that no vital industry has any right, resident either in employees or employers, to deprive the public of its service—that industrial disputes must be decided as other civil disputes are. The bid was asked by the commission in the hope that a lower price might be received by the commission from the cement companies of the State than that now being given by these companies. In a motion adopted by the commission some weeks ago, which preceded the request for bids on the large quantities, it was the sense of the commission that the present cement conditions surrounding the prices made by the cement companies for Portland cement are intolerable and as soon as may be, the commission should secure proposals for all or a part of the supply of cement estimated to be needed during the period 1920-1925, inclusive, such proposals to be upon a flat mill base price with the provision that the price shall fluctuate up and down as the costs of labor and fuel change. Examination of books to determine these fluctuations were to be made by certified public accountants. The proposal provided that every bid was to be accompanied by a statement of the bidder that it was not made in collusion or agreement with any other cement company. The Colton Portland Cement Company, in a letter to the commission, which was the only response received, objected to the form of the proposal, stating that there could not be sufficient definition as to whether certain items of cost should be considered as productive costs or overhead charges. The present practice of the cement companies is to submit practically identical bids when requests for prices upon cement to be furnished to the commission are made.

STILL ADVANCING The Peter Goddickson place on E. Chapman street, Orange, today is changing hands for the third time within the past year, in each transaction the seller taking a substantial advance over what he paid for it. It is an 18½ acre tract planted to valencias and lemons and located immediately west of the McPherson packing house, on the south side of Chapman. It is a fine piece of property and is said to be a good revenue producer. Goddickson disposed of it about a year ago, selling to Albert Rohrs of that city and a friend, for $50,000. The men held it about a week when they passed title along to H. C. Schnackenberg at an advance. Schnackenberg is now deeding the Here is a question which must be decided before the world is much older. The answer indicated by many disinterested thinkers is that neither strikes nor lockouts are to be tolerated any more in our highly organized society—that no vital industry has any right, resident either in employees or employers, to deprive the public of its service—that industrial disputes must be decided as other civil disputes are. The right of the individual to work where and when he chooses must be upheld—but that is different from upholding an organized walk-out. TWO EGGS A DAY When a pullet is three months old there can be plainly seen the mass of tiny egg yolks that show her possible egg production during her life time. These yolks have been counted and have been variously given as from five to six thousand. The oldest hen that the writer recalls was over 30 years old, and as the laying power decreased with age, the 200-egg hen is much below the capacity possible. Three times in our experience we have had authenticated instances of hens laying two eggs a day, one early and one late. The first was a Buff Orphington hen, second a White Orphington pullet that repeated the performance three times in her first laying season. In both instances no other hen had access to the pens. The third instance was a White Leghorn hen and was also alone in the pen, one of the lay two days and SENATOR FROM THREE STATES Only one man thus far has been sufficiently versatile to be elected to the United States Senate from three different States. The man who made this unique political record was James Shields, who was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1810. He was Senator from Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri. Emigrating to this country at an early age, he took up the study of law and located at Kaskaska, Ill. No sooner had he become a full-fledged citizen of that State than he proceeded to help himself to every office that was not nailed down. He was successively a member of the legislature, State auditor, supreme court judge, general land office commissioner, and a soldier in the Mexican war, being breveted a major general. He wound up his career in Illinois with the Senatorship. Taking a liking to Minnesota, he moved up there and made himself so popular that he was soon handed the Senatorship from that State. He was next lured to California, but the breaking out of the war between the States prevented him from acquiring anything politically. He enlisted in the Union army from that State, and at the close of hostilities located in Missouri. His first office there was adjutant general. At the first opportunity he took over the Senatorship. Had he not been born in a foreign country it is quite probable that this genial man would have gone after the Presidency of the United States. He died at Ottumwa, Iowa, in 1879.
