wanee have announced a raise from $8 to $10, and not so deep, either. The undertakers of Galesburg advanced their prices 199½ per cent January 1, 1920, with a sliding scale with a monthly "skin." The purgatorial fee has risen somewhat, and now they get us "coming, going and gone." Are you from Illinois? All the towns listed here are in that state. A "Yep" Story The other day I was "holding up" a bank on one of our corners. A lady and a gentleman came up to me. The man said: "I beg pardon"— I interrupted: "Yep." He continued: "Isn't your name Albert Abbott?" I replied: "Yep." The lady said: "I thought so." I muttered: "Yep." The man inquired: "You're a sort of world critic?" Grinning, I answered: "Yep." The lady then spoke up: "We like your articles in the Gazette. Keep it agoing." I said: "Yep." Then they marched on, the lady saying: "Good bye, Mr. YEP." Everything Has Its Price By going into a music store a search of popular records revealed this information: For 50 cents you can get "Smiles." For $1 you can get "Kisses." Peter, with a "kick" in it. The School Scrap Several persons have asked me to express an opinion on the school mix-up. So, therefore-however-nevertheless-whatsoever, inasmuch as I have a personal, intimate friend who was a member of the Los Angeles board of education the time they had a big school scrap there several years ago, and obtained some "close-up" views of the fight, I thought it would be interesting if I attended the local school meeting a week ago last night, and see if the local scrap had any characteristics of the Los Angeles fight. After the meeting I talked with one of the deposed principal's supporters. He tried to impress me that it was a shame and disgrace that Anaheim teachers should scrap so; that Anaheim will have a bad name because of this school board fight. I fail to see his view of the matter, because it is a common thing for school boards to be in some kind of a fight. If one had the time and patience to look the matter up, the chances are that a dozen or more school fights could be discovered going on right now scattered over the country. There is some sort of a school scrap going on in Los Angeles right now, even. A Pasadenian, who applied for the local principalship, says he has been successful in healing school fights, citing San Luis Obispo as an instance. So, you see, Anaheim's turmoil is not peculiar unto Anaheim. School boards are always scrapping. Every time I go to Chicago there is a school scrap on there. All through my life I have recollections of school fights going on somewhere. So, Anaheim, in hinting and arrogant matter as to what contention, I had booked for the day before nine, as gaged up to that experience — schooled that nine o'clock psychological time scene. And it I arrived just in a few minutes the gist of the minutes' time I answered, which tion everybody did.

Everything Has Its Price By going into a music store a search of popular records revealed this information: For 50 cents you can get "Smiles." For $1 you can get "Kisses." For $1.50 "You'd Be Surprised." Why Is It Thus and So? Lawyers stand up in courthouses before jurors in the presence of large audiences, and denounce men as thieves, liars, scoundrels and perjured villains, and when court adjourns the men appear to harbor no ill will against them. But let a newspaper faintly intimate that a man's character is blemished, and he has to confront a horse pistol, stand a libel suit or suffer what people think to be the greatest of all mortifications—lose a subscriber. The writer of this department has received many bouquets, and also has received a few bricks. Let them come—bricks and bouquets. I'll use the bricks to crush the flowers so as to get some perfume out of my job. Always glad to hear both sides of any question. All comers taken! In the Same Boat With School Teachers The rewards of the newspaper profession, from a financial standpoint, as a whole are still below what the brains and initiative required can win in other fields—Santa Ana Register. Yes, Brother Editor, but the ink sticks like honey, so we have got to be sweet about it. Same Thing, Different Only in Degree The way the populace took advantage of Memorial Day to have a good time reminded me that when we were kids we use to wish somebody in the neighborhood would die so we could have a free ride in a hack, if the death were within an intimate circle; if beyond, then our good time would be to get a ride on-the-seat beside the wonderful hack driver. A Pasadenian, who applied for the local principalship, says he has been successful in healing school fights, citing San Luis Obispo as an instance. So, you see, Anaheim's turmoil is not peculiar unto Anaheim. School boards are always scrapping. Every time I go to Chicago there is a school scrap on there. All through my life I have recollections of school fights going on somewhere. So, Anaheim, in its recent school fight, has merely manifested spasms of growth toward being a metropolis. Another one of the "out" supporters said to me that it was a disgrace that the teachers should fight so. Ah! That's nothin'! I remember when I was in a grammar grade back east of a man principal scrapping with our woman teacher right before us—a class of forty-six pupils. In this case the woman teacher was n. g. and the man principal was o. k. For a school board to discharge a teacher of any capacity is nothing to get excited over. And usually, nobody does. And nobody did in this local case at first. It will be remembered that it was calmly and quietly reported in the local press that the district grammar school principal had been discharged for "cause." Most people who read the mere news announcement entertained it nonchantly and let it go at that. Then subsequently, articles appeared in the papers attacking members of the school trustees regarding other matters, attempting to have those bear on the dismissal of the principal. Also appeared articles in the papers regarding the principal having a contract. All of which kind of attracted the attention of readers of the papers to the dismissal of the principal. Otherwise, they would not have given it further concern. These articles aroused in people's minds a question: "Why and what for was the principal dismissed?" The attacks on the board did not bring any concrete reply from them for their action. Everybody was asking "why" and "what for?" No one seemed to know. Then like a rainstorm in California in July, all the papers of Anaheim of the Wednesday in question, had an article from twenty-five of the grammar school teachers that they were some sort of a school scrap going on in Los Angeles right now, even. One of the trusting that the meet simply a regular routine nature, justify its action ing, so no official remarks of charges made again. But there seemed pathy between the delegation of teachers side the trustees trustees said any action in the dismilitia plauded. Then again, thetees were prepared than a "regular" or the teachers wically use the precal moment, and do a "routine" meeting. Ooozing out allthe whole job it was that the trustees copial as the result of the teachers.ed that the psychrived for the dism him out for "causion. In talking, after one of the prince remark was made what the teachers were true, whlong to bring therurstees, saying ought to have been game, if the allegory Why, that's easy,the emotionalism Separately,and in time,the various complained to therical was not aggr ing undignified,doesn't mean that gotten on the top hearald it to all talways a day of th body.So,these vally complaints ma combination,came result was the expulsion by the tr their authority in all there is to tha missal,and anything simply making a mole hill. The fact of the plain to me that The way the populace took advantage of Memorial Day to have a good time reminded me that when we were kids we use to wish somebody in the neighborhood would die so we could have a free ride in a hack, if the death were within an intimate circle; if beyond, then our good time would be to get a ride on the seat beside the wonderful hack driver. Heroes, Without the Heroics It looks as though many automobiles will have to remain at home, more or less, on account of the curtailment of gasoline. There being no patriotic cause for the shortage of gas, the heroism and patriotism of them foregoing their usual pleasure, will not be anything to crow over. From Hell to the Angels Memorial Day, beginning somewhere about four o'clock, and continuing past bedtime, a continuous, steady stream of automobiles passed north on Los Angeles from Santa Anaward. In Santa Ana it was the same. They were coming in a continuous stream from the south, going north. As the twilight came, the steady stream increased in its accumulation of autos. Where were they all coming from and where were they going? They came from Tia Juana and were going to Los Angeles—from hell to Heaven, I suppose. The line of outos coming from the direction of Los Angeles was very, very thin; so, I suppose St. Peter was so busy that he got swamped, and they all got into Heaven—"sins" and all. The psychology of the bull fight must have nerved the entrants to Angel land to "peddle the bull" to St, "Why and what for was the principal dismissed?" The attacks on the board did not bring any concrete reply from them for their action. Everybody was asking "why" and "what for?" No one seemed to know. Then like a rainstorm in California in July, all the papers of Anaheim of the Wednesday in question, had an article from twenty-five of the grammar school teachers, that they were in accord with the trustees' action in dismissing the principal. But the article did not say why? When I first read the statement from the teachers the thought in my mind was: "Now, we shall know what it is all about." But the article was no more illuminating than anything else that had been appearing in the local press. The resolution the teachers signed didn't even state any concrete reason. But the first hint of the real trouble was contained therein when reference was made "to a higher standard for the schools." That was the first inkling as to what might be the trouble. Then again, when the teachers came before the public in a body at the last moment, was a sort of pyrotechnic display. Why the teachers should come before the public in this way is more than I then could understand. There was nothing said in any paper charging the teachers with a hand in the deal of discharging the principal. Nor did I hear of any oral rumors to that effect. So, when practically all the grammar district school teachers came before the public in such a dramatic fashion, I had to get in the procession. Not having seen anything definite in any paper why the man was discharged, and the teachers' signed resolution not shedding any light, but The fact of the plain to me that the teachers cannot give principals, or that not get aleng wi Take it either way generally, everywhipal is always ther proven over and o men are best ada ing school matterthe high school g can get a competet job, a preference her.

I did not get there before a few minutes before nine, as I was otherwise engaged up to that time. I knew from experience — school and otherwise — that nine o'clock would be about the psychological time to get onto the scene. And it was. I arrived just as things were "hot." In a few minutes I was able to grasp the gist of the whole fricas. In five minutes' time I had my questions answered, which was the same question everybody else was asking. The reason why the principal was discharged for "cause" was because he was not wanted any more by the majority of the teachers. He had conducted his office in such a manner that he was obnoxious, according to the testimony of the teachers I heard, and according to the applause the others teachers gave these remarks. The proposition was purely and simply that the teachers did not like the man for reasons best understood and appreciated by themselves, and could not stand him any longer. Be it understood that the board did not then and has, not yet officially stated its official reason for the dismissal. One of the trustees said at the meeting that the meeting was purely and simply a regular business meeting of a routine nature, and was not held to justify its action at a previous meeting, so no official acclaim was given to the remarks of the teachers in the charges made against the principal.

The proposition is purely and simply that the teachers did not like them but take up their burdens they so earnestly desired. However, women in Anaheim, ought, at least, be on the school boards. When I entered the meeting Wednesday I had a kind of feeling that I was in in last republican convention in Chicago, which I attended. The "surcharged atmosphere" gave me that feeling. The tenseness of all present and somewhat confusion of parliamentary procedure reminded me of it. The women present reminded me of this progressive convention, which I attended, that was held in Chicago at about same time as the republican convention, with "head and heels" in, with bulging eyes and wide ears. I also was reminded by this meeting of the congress of United States in session (without women, of course). The presence ofthe teacher group and some opposing groups reminded me ofthe committees that report tothe congress, orof delegations that visit congress for some concession, or something. The game thatthe Anaheim teachers played was well done—"in union there is strength"—and they knew it, not only theoretically, but put it into a practical demonstration. And BISCUITS From th BISCUIT!

But there seemed to be a bond of sympathy between the two bodies. The delegation of teachers was right up beside the trustees and whenever the trustees said anything justifying their action in the dismissal, the teachers applauded. Then again, the teachers and trustees were prepared for something else than a "regular routine meeting," or the teachers would not, so dramatically use the press at the psychological moment, and appear in a body at a "routine" meeting. Ooozing out all over the surface of the whole job it was plain to be seen that the trustees discharged the principal as the result of the complaints of the teachers. The trustees reasoned that the psychological time had arrived for the dismissal, so they voted him out for "cause." In talking, after the meeting, with one of the principal's supporters, the remark was made by him that, if what the teachers charged at the meeting were true, why did they wait so long to bring them forth before the trustees, saying that the principal ought to have been out early in the game, if the alleged faults were true? Why, that's easy, if you understand the emotionalism of the human mind. Separately, and in groups, from time to time, the various teachers, no doubt, complained to the board that the principal was not agreeable and was acting undignified, etc. All of which doesn't mean that they should have gotten on the tops of the houses and heared it to all the world. There is always a day of reckoning for everybody. So, these variously and severally complaints made singularly or in combination, came to a head, and the result was the explosion and the expulsion by the trustees, according to their authority in the matter. That is all there is to the reason for the dismissal, and anything further would be simply making a mountain out of a mole hill. The fact of the matter is that it is plain to me that the Anaheim women ing of the congress of the United States in session (without the women, of course). The presence of the teacher group and the opposing groups reminded me of the committees that report to the congress, or of delegations that visit congress for some concession, or something. The game that the Anaheim teachers played was well done—"in union there is strength"—and they knew it, not only theoretically, but put it into a practical demonstration. Someone in the meeting attacked the newspapers of the town, saying that the papers couldnt be believed in, anyway. This was uncalled for. Some of the teachers applauded this sentiment, thinking it came from one of their supporters, I suppose. But the opposition to the teachers was of the same sentiment. So, where is the force of the remarks? Now, the newspapers of this town did not take sides, either way, that I could see, up to the meeting night. All the newspapers printed what they received from both sides to print. If one side got more publicity than the other, it was because the other did not come forth with their publicity. The newspapers are what you make them. All sides to any question should furnish the newspapers with the facts and they'll print the facts. They can't print what they don't know about. The fact that the school teachers' committee availed themselves of the public press Wednesday ought to indicate they believe the press is a good method to disseminate information. Some of the teachers applauded the sentiment that the papers "can't be believed in, anyway." If so, why did they make use of the papers, so dramatically successful? I did not find as big a crowd at the meeting as I expected. The crowd was bigger—of course than usually attends the regular meetings of the trustees, but the fact that it was not as big as it might have been is a good evidence that the people are willing to trust in the board's decisions. If the people were really and truly indignant because the board did not give a reason for the dismissal of the principal—the people would have turned out in multitudes, but they remained at home, or went to the movies, or the lodge meeting, or somewhere else. Uptown was just jammed with autos, while at the Fremont school there were very few summers will allow the creature in trees should period. Prof. R. S. Vaile, the manager of the experiment station groves at River-side, presented some very interesting facts in regard to summer cover crops at the La Habra farm center Friday night. He stated that in their five years' observations in growing summer cover crops in their orchard plots at Riverside no definite results have been obtained. However, their plots in Tulare county show an increase of 15 per cent fruit production in the first year after a summer crop was planted. He pointed out that their neutral results at Riverside does not necessarily indicate the summer cover crop has been a failure. The following are some of the facts which were pointed out by Prof. Vaile in his address: There are two reasons why a summer cover crop is valuable to a crop. First, it increases the amount of organic material in the soil and makes the soil a better medium for bacterial action. Second, it has an influence on atmospheric conditions in the orchard in the warm season. The process of decomposition after the vegetable matter is turned under is one of the best features of growing summer cover crop, as in this process the nitrifying bacteria are given a botter chance to perform their proper functioning in breaking down the various plant food chemicals in the soil and makes them more available to the fine feeder roots. Care should be taken not to allow the growing crop to rob the trees' roots of their normal demand for soil moisture.

Take it either way. This is the case, generally, everywhere. A woman principal is always the best. It has been proven over and over again, that women are best adapted to administering school matters, especially below the high school grades. If Anaheim can get a competent woman to fill the job, a preference should be given to her. The fact that the two recent principals were men, and did not continue on the job, is a good reason to experiment with a woman principal. It could hardly be right to term it an experiment, as there is plenty of evidence in pedagogic fields that women always make good and successful school officials. They make good trustees as well. I would like to see the woman element on the local school board. Wherever this has been, women so capacitated have always given satisfactory service. The trouble with the disposed principal was that he did not know the "psychology" of the teacher mind in respect to not being liked by them. But an attempt was made to awe them by flourishing a contract, which did not work. Whenever a school teacher becomes convinced, rightfully or wrongly, it is wisdom to keep at a proper body. So, these variously and severally complaints made singularly or in combination, came to a head, and the result was the explosion and the expulsion by the trustees, according to their authority in the matter.

The trouble with the disposed principal was that he did not know the "psychology" of the teacher mind in respect to not being liked by them.But an attempt was made to awe them by flourishing a contract，which did not work.Whenevera学校教师becomesconvinced,rightfullyorwrongly，它iswisdomtokeepataproperbody.So,thesevariouslyandseverallycomplaintsmade singularlyorincombination,cametoahead，andtheresultwastheexplosionandtheexpulsionbythetrustees—that'sthetrusteesbusinesstohireordischarge，astheydeembest.

The crop should attain its maximum growing period at this time. Prof. Vaile has visited most of the orchards in Southern California where the summer crop is being raised and says that in the majority of places the crop has exhibited more or less injury. A few places have shown a striking benefit such as the Leffing-well ranch. It happens that the Riverside plots show less fruit production where the summer crop is grown than in the other plots. But he does not feel that this experience would be a criterion to go by in Orange county groves until further data has been obtained in orchards under Orange county conditions. "Never plan to seed for summer crop before the groun warms up," says Prof. Vaile, "where you are planting beans or cowpeas." Melilotus Ab ahle states, can be grown early, being planted as early as December and from then on through the spring. The main objections to this plant is that it is a bi-annual and is hard to get rid of. While it is deep rooted it is very possible that there is a closer competition between its rotots and the root zone of the trees than in shallower growing crops. Melilotus Indica, if planted in February and lpowed under in July, may prove to be a desirable crop for the one crop of the year. By thus planting early it will mature in mite to make its greatest influence on the June crop. Europe. A letter from Amsterdam tells us that the Dutch windmills are being replaced by mills operated by steam and electric power. Every year some of the old windmills are burned, and they are not reerected. Time may come when a few windmills will be treasured as relics in Holland, just as similar structures are still preserved on Aquidneck and Nantucket islands for their curious interest. Already windmills, of American construction, with steel fans arranged in wheels, instead of the picturesque old wooden arms, had begun to make their appearance even in Holland. The metallic windmill with the revolving wheel is more picturesque than the ordinary steam or water power mill, but it is not so picturesque as the old wooden affair. On our western prairies and plains the tall windmills, with their big metal wheels spinning high in the air, are indeed a fine feature in the monotonous landscape, but even they are in danger of yielding to the process of pumping water by means of gasoline motors. The power of the wind, to be sure, costs nothing, while that of the gasoline motor may cost a good deal, but there are times when no wind blows, and the householder tires of waiting for it to rise. Less and less are we content to attend upon the forces of nature. The beautiful sails are vanishing from the seas, to be replaced by belching smoke stacks. On land windmills give place to structures operated by steam and electricity. The stalwart oxen are no longer seen at the farmer's plow; it is gasoline that turns the earth now. Homeward the unweary motor barks its way!
