CITRUS INSTITUTE MEETING AT SANTA ANA TWO-DAY SESSION, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, JUNE 24 AND 25 Program of Interest and Instruction to Growers of Oranges and Lemons Has Been Arranged—All Branches of the Industry Will Be Discussed by Men of Prominence in the State The directors of the California Citrus Institute announce the following program for their two-day meeting June 24 and 25 at Santa Ana. In arranging this program, emphasis has been laid upon the care of mature orange groves including such things as pruning, cultural methods, and irrigation. One-half day's session will be give up to ranch labor problems. An attempt has been made in arranging the program, to give ample time for discussing the various papers presented. The meetings will all be held in the Elks club hall, including the informal banquet the evening of June 24. While it is not essential that reservations be made for this banquet in advance, all who expect to attend it are requested to communicate with the Orange county farm bureau, Santa Ana. The farm bureau is also desirous of aiding any from out of town who desire to reserve hotel accommodations for the night of the 24th. time has come to recognize and help to set at rest the persistent undercurrent of anxiety by showing the situation in its true light. A period of business depression is born not made—it is conceived in the minds of the people. We are on the right track to reduce prices. Production, in spite of discouraging handicaps, actually is being speeded up faster than ever before. The strike situation seems to be clearing. Indications are that we shall have a summer of humming activity. And as production catches up with demand, prices generally will gradually decline. It cannot be otherwise. There is no occasion to lend willing ears to the calamity-howlers and then to aid their propaganda by passing the story along! No doubt there is flagrant profiteering. But many voters believe the coming elections will bring about a change of policy in the administration of our national affairs that will put an end to some of our burdens. Our calmest leaders point out that no situation is so serious that we may not expect eventually to find a remedy. And the fact of the matter is that profiteering is but one small factor in the present state of affairs. The world is trying to catch up with the production that languished for nearly five years. Foreign buyers compete with our own as never before. And then, too, we are all paying the cost of the war. Orchard and Farm has no patience with illegal profit-taking. But it has even less with the average citizen who goes about with long, blue visage predicting the direst of calamity, and thus doing his best to bring it on. Rather, let us believe that things eventually will work themselves out.

AMONG THE LAST TO LEAVE SIBERIA Knights of Columbus Workers Come Home With Final Load Obeying to the letter their orders, "Stay with the boys till the last American soldier leaves Siberia," two Knights of Columbus secretaries and a K. C. chaplain arrived in San Francisco with the final contingent of A.E.F. men from Vladivostok, aboard the transport Great Northern. They came with the last American troops to quit Russian soil. They served till the last possibility of service was gone—and then found new possibilities—and then found new possibilities by entertaining the troops and supplying them with K. C. comforts on their long trip across the Pacific. The Knights of Columbus stayed till the job was ended. The lips of the K. C. men are sealed as to conditions in the mystery land of Siberia; but they recounted briefly their stories of service to the American troops under the most disagreeable conditions. Because the troops were scattered far and wide along the line of the trans-Siberian railroad, long jumps were necessary to bring cheer and creature comforts to the five years. Foreign buyers compete with our own as never before. And then, too, we are all paying the cost of the war. Orchard and Farm has no patience with illegal profit-taking.

Let us then meet present perplexing problems as best we can—calmly but with determination not to let them overcome us. Let us study our methods of local and national government. Let us take an interest in civic affairs and select with more care the men who make our laws. Let us each add something to the wealth or the good of the world—a world that rapidly is losing patience with non-producers. Let us look with pity on those who believe in calamity; in short, let us "carry on!"! The best is yet to come!—From Farm and Orchard.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM There is much satisfaction in the knowledge that, should any financial calamity overtake the country, the speculators who are supposed to be largely responsible for the increasing cost of living would be among the first to suffer. Not that we believe any calamity impends. But the "it is rumored" and "I heard the other day" and "a prominent banker told me" fellows are busy everywhere; and so persistent has their wall become that not a few citizens have come to believe that financial catastrophe is only a matter of months. One thing is certain: When enough of our people believe in a panic, a panic will come. Nothing starts a financial landslide so easily as fear. It is like a cocked hammer, ready to drop at the pull of the trigger. Therefore, Orchard and Farm believes the The lips of the K. C. men are sealed as to conditions in the mystery land of Siberia; but they recounted briefly their stories of service to the American troops under the most disagreeable conditions. Because the troops were scattered far and wide along the line of the trans-Siberian railroad, long jumps were necessary to bring cheer and creature comforts to the isolated units. All their traveling was done in box cars—usually unheated—and Secretary Murray returned with frost bitten hands and feet. Murray operated a box car K. C. hut as far as Lake Baikal. Foy worked out from Spasskoje, his headquarters. But the most appealing story of devotion in a land where the passions of men have driven them mad was that of Father Spanbauer, as told by his companions. This devoted priest was a Bohemian chaplain who accompanied the Austrian army—of which his compatriots were forced to become a part—immediately upon the declaration of war in 1914. In the first battle, he and his charges were captured by the Russians. And five years of his life were spent in Siberia. Upon his arrival at the prison camp, Father Spanbauer found himself the only chaplain in a camp of 75,000 men, their sole source of spiritual comfort. There came a time when he was offered his release, but he declined to quit his post. BURNING BEACH OIL The Standard No. 1 well on the Huntington Beach Mesa today is self-supporting as far as fuel oil is concerned. Many barrels of oil have been brought up from the lower depths in The cold-pressed oil tic flavor, pronoun sumers to be far off the oils which are subjected to a reactive leaves them practically pressed oil when sweet nuts need no therefore retains it.

But large citig, blue calamal it things sees out, they the "bailing out" process and this oil, the first produced from the new Huntington Beach field, is now being burned under the steam boilers at the well, furnishing power for the further balling out which is expected to be completed within a day or two and for the pumping which will then start. The well, so to speak, is running under its own power, and the chances are that no more fuel oil will have to be brought to the well. The heavy gas pressure in the well is still evident, and leads many to believe that a flowing well will result from the work now under way. Extreme care has been taken with the well to prevent a blowing-off of the gas and possible wrecking of the cement job and this care, it is believed, will result in a much better well than would otherwise have been produced. The oil now brought up from the well is free of water, it is reported, and the sand is being gradually eliminated, so that the well is expected to be on the pump soon. DOLLARS vs. CHILDREN Women who appeared before the senate public health committee at Washington in behalf of the Shephard-Towner maternity bill seriously inquired why the national congress appropriates millions to raise better hogs and nothing to improve the conditions of children. Some of them ventured that the fathers and husbands in congress had been thoughtless; that the reason they had sought to raise better hogs was to provide more food for the children. They said they thought the congressmen's hearts were right, but they had simply erred. A few of the women were not so charitable with the solons. Kingdom to keep the royal family on the payroll, and finds the amount totals the huge sum of $2,775,850, of which $2,032,784 are paid to King George, and the residue to various members of the royal family, including Queen Alexandria, $269,500; Prince of Wales, $192,500; Duke of Connaught, $96,250; Prince Christian, Duke of Argyll and Princess Beatrice, $23,100 each; King Edward's daughters, $69.300. President Wilson's salary for eight years he will serve aggregates $600,000, less than one-third the sum paid to King George for one year. It is astonishing that the English people, among the most advanced in the world, should cling to this feudal system established by ancient monarchies, of bestowing princely dowries upon a selected few, who perform but little or no service to their country to earn it. A man who is paid more than $2.000,000 annually by his government and declines to pay men who labor for him $12 per week has but little regard for the average human being. COMEDY STALKS TRAGEDY That there is often a laugh in the most tragic situation has often been noted. So with the writers of the extracts given below. They write in all seriousness, but their mistakes give a mirth-provoking twist to their phrases. The excerpts are from letters written by allottees to the war risk department at Washington: 1. I have never received my elopement. His money was kept from Jim for the elopement which I never received. 2. Just a line to let you know I am a widow and four children. 3. He was inducted into the surifornia are in their infancy. Her natural resources should place her in the first rank in manufacturing. California is rich in minerals, especially in her clay beds. California is one of the few places where fine, long-staple cotton will produce enormous yields. The silk industry is hardly an appreciable factor as yet, but has wonderful possibilities. Oil exists in enormous quantities for manufacturing purposes. Even greater is the hydroelectric power which is capable of development in the state. Trade with South America and the Orient is being rapidly developed. In order to secure these markets for ourselves, we must make our articles artistic in design and in workmanship. Art must be applied to the designing of homes, to the planning of cities, to decoration of home furnishings o fevery kind. Art must be employed in displaying our products to the best advantage in order to stimulate their sale. Art is necessary in order to advertise our products not only at home but in foreign countries. Nearly every high school in California has an art department which is turning out a product that might to best advantage be applied to some form or forms of industry. MANY ISSUES PRESENTED Although President Wilson has declared his desire that the league of nation's covenant shall be an issue in the senatorial and presidential campaigns of 1920, that will be by no means the only issue. It is quite within the range of possibility that such a large number of democrats will repudiate the president's attitude as to make this a minor issue. But even though it should be the major issue GAIN IN PEANUT OIL OUTPUT Cold-pressed virgin peanut oil, a new American product, is becoming a formidable competitor of olive oil, say specialists of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture, who are making a study of edible oils. The fine flavor and excellent keeping qualities of the cold-pressed peanut oil make it a most desirable household oil. The cold-pressed oil is made by a process different from that of the hot-pressed peanut oil, which until recently was the only peanut oil made in considerable quantity in the United States. The cold-pressed oil has a characteristic flavor, pronounced by many consumers to be far more delicious than the oils which are hot pressed and subjected to a refining process which leaves them practically tasteless. Cold-pressed oil when made from sound, sweet nuts need not be refined, and therefore retains its natural flavor. This oil is highly nutritive and is as readily digestible as the best olive oils. It manes delicious French and tracts given below. They write in all seriousness, but their mistakes give a mirth-provoking twist to their phrases. The excerpts are from letters written by allottees to the war risk department at Washington: 1. I have never received my elopement. His money was kept from Jim for the elopement which I never received. 2. Just a line to let you know I am a widow and four children. 3. He was inducted into the surface. 4.

I have four boys and two girls. 11. Please correct name as I could not and would not go under a consumed name. 12. Extract from a boy's letter to his mother: I am writing in A. Y. M. C.

I need him to look after me. 15. Both sides of our parents are old and poor. 16. Please send me a wife's form. 18. Dear Mr. Wilson: I have already writ to Mr. Headguarder and have received no reply and if I don't get one from you I am going to write to Uncle Sam himself. 19. I am a poor widow and all I have is in the front. 20. We have your letter. I am his grandmother and grandfather. He was brought up in our home according to your letter. 21. I have not received my husband's pay and I will be forced to lead an immortal life. 22. Please let me know if John put in an application for a wife and child? ART CONFERENCE TO MEET AT BERKELEY Although President Wilson has declared his desire that the league of nation's covenant shall be an issue in the senatorial and presidential campaigns of 1920, that will be by no means the only issue. It is quite within the range of possibility that such a large number of democrats will repudiate the president's attitude as to make this a minor issue. But even though it should be the major issue and the campaign fought principally upon that question, there will be other and no less important problems for discussion by candidates for election to congress and to the presidency. The record of this administration presents numerous issues. First among these is that of class government. It will be remembered that in 1916 when four railroad brotherhoods presented demands for certain large increases in wages, accompanied by the threat that unless those demands were granted by a certain hour they would call a strike which would tie up all the transportation systems of the United States, bring hui to American industry, and starvation to the people, the Wilson administration surrendered to the demands made under threat and ordered the increase of wages. By that action the Wilson administration instituted a policy of surrender to class. The passage of the Adamson law was not dictated by reason but by fear. The merits of the demands were not even discussed, but rather than have the sovereign United States government question the demands of a few hundred thousand of its citizens, the administration weekly enacted the legislation desired. Since that time a similar policy has been pursued. The president denounced the coal strikers as criminal but proceeded to compromise with them, and when they went back to work in pursuance of the compromise he congratulated them upon their patriotism. His policy of surrender to a league of nations' covenant is an issue no more important than his policy of surrender to an organized body of residents of the United States, many of whom are not even citizens, when they present demands for the promotion of their class interests with disregard of the interests of the entire country. An issue of only little less importance will be that of the high cost of living. Although elected in 1912 upon The cold-pressed oil has a characteristic flavor, pronounced by many consumers to be far more delicious than the oils which are hot pressed and subjected to a refining process which leaves them practically tasteless. Cold-pressed oil when made from sound, sweet nuts need not be refined, and therefore retains its natural flavor. This oil is highly nutritive and is as readily digestible as the best olive oils. It manes delicious French and Mayonnaise salad dressings and is a high-class cooking oil, especially when used for deep frying. Many discriminating housekeepers, who during the war turned to the cold-pressed peanut oil for table use because they could not obtain the usual supply of olive oil, found to be so delicious and so satisfactory for table use that they now prefer it to any other. The production of peanut oil, including both the cold-pressed and the hot-pressed, in the United States has increased from 454,000 pounds in 1912 to 95,934,000 pounds in 1918, an increase of more than 21,000 per cent. The importation of peanut oil increased from 7,626,000 pounds in 1912 to 68,460,000 pounds in 1918. Practically all the imported peanut oil is hot pressed. Complete statistics for 1919 are not yet available. It is apparent, say specialists, that cold-pressed peanut oil is winning for itself a place on the American table justified by its flavor, nutritive value, and digestibility. THE COST OF ROYALTY On account of the refusal of the king's commissioner at Balmoral to pay the men working on the royal estate $12 per week, a London labor newspaper prints what it costs the United grandmother and grandfather. He was brought up in our home according to your letter. 21. I have not received my husband's pay and I will be forced to lead an immortal life. 22. Please let me know if John put in an application for a wife and child? ART CONFERENCE TO MEET AT BERKELEY Purpose Is To Discuss Art Teaching In Public Schools The state board of education has called an art conference at Berkeley for June 11 and 12. Exhibits or applied art work will be made both by manufacturers, artists and craftsmen, and by the art departments of high schools. The aim of the conference is to agree upon the fundamentals of art teaching in the public schools and to encourage greater cooperation between the school and the manufacturer of art products. The schools of America have been neglecting an opportunity in this direction upon which the schools of European countries have been quick to seize. Little attention has paid in our public high schools to design as applied to costume, to interior decoration, and to art goods in general. Manufacturers have been looking to foreign countries for this material. Only a few teachers in America have made a specialty of applied art work. The conference should bring together the producer and the consumer, the demand and the possible supply, the offerings of the schools and the changes that manufacturers will demand of them. The manufacturing industries of Cal- His policy of surrender to a league of nations' covenant is an issue no more important than his policy of surrender to an organized body of residents of the United States, many of whom are not even citizens, when they present demands for the promotion of their class interests with disregard of the interests of the entire country. An issue of only little less importance will be that of the high cost of living. Although elected in 1912 upon a pledge to reduce the cost of living, not a single act of Wilson's administration has tended to produce that result. From the day of his inauguration the cost of living steadily advanced. Extravagance in the government necessitated increase of taxes, which taxes were added to the cost of transacting business, and collected from the consumer through an advance in the prices of commodities. By its fiscal policy the administration produced an unnecessary inflation of the currency which has also been a factor in increasing the cost of living. By the adoption of its cost-plus policy in letting war contracts and by the encouragement of shirking on government jobs and waste of government materials, the administration created an unnecessary scarcity of labor and an unnatural advance in market values of commodities. By its inaction in the matter of purchasing the Cuban sugar crop, and by its agreement with the Louisiana sugar producers regarding the price of their product, the administration aided in advancing the price of sugar—the one commodity which the administration singled out in 1912 as a necessary life for which the consumer should not be unduly taxed. In the miserable failure of its Mexican policy, inefficiency in government Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford Model T One Ton Truck was the first low price truck to carry the worm-drive—that tremendous power delivering mechanism had previously been an exclusive feature with high priced motor trucks.
