MAKING EASY MONEY make it financially the greatest year of the forty. Old-time apiarists say that 1884 and 1895 were great years for honey-making. Those years there were good spring rains, with one late rain in May, followed by warm weather in June, yet not warm enough to wither the bloom. Roy K. Bishop, secretary of the Orange County Beekeepers club, said that the county will produce no less than 150 tons of fine honey this year. Last year the county did not turn out over twenty tons. "And the honey is first class," declared Bishop. "It is fine in quality. It is a wonderful year for the apiarists. The mountains are still covered with bloom, and the bees are working to their full capacity. I never saw bees work so well—never. Why, I have been extracting where I have my bees on Mr. Pleasant's place in the Santiago canyon, and I have been doing it just a few yards from the hives, in an open tent. The bees are so busy bringing in honey from the flowers that they pay absolutely no attention to the extracting. Ordinarily, the bees would be all over the place getting honey." Some of the apiarists have been short of help. They have stands full of honey, and can't get around fast enough. Honey is a good price this year. Beekeepers are retailing it at twenty-five cents a pound, and it is sold in the local stores at from thirty to thirty-three cents a pound. At present prices of sugar and honey, honey as a sweetening product costs less than sugar. A little honey goes a long way. A small quality of it sweetens coffee, and honey can be used in numberless ways by the housewife. "White honey does not flavor coffee or other things with which it can..." MAKING EASY MONEY FROM HIS GOAT RANCH Huntington Beach Man Starts Business with One Kid How L. T. Young, formerly of Huntington Beach, and now living on a ranch on West Seventeenth street, started in the goat business five years ago on a "shoe string" consisting of a four-day-old nanny, costing $2.25, and how he developed his business until he now owns thirty-eight head of fine Nubian goats, worth approximately $3600, was told by Young recently. Incidentally, the same nanny with which Young went into business five years ago, was recently sold by him to a Banning fancier, for $1000. Along with the nanny, the Banning man purchased a buck, the pair of animals bringing $1800. This price, according to Young is the highest ever paid in the United States for a pair of these animals. Nanny goats, Young says, have been sold in this country for as high as $1000 and bucks have brought $760, but so far as Young is aware, $1800 is the record price for a pair. In making a success of his goat business young has relied to a large extent upon the currycomb and brush. He believes in keeping his herd "slicked up" spick and span at all times, and attributes no small part of the health of his animals to the currying and combing he gives them. Recently Dr. Burton C. Platt, owner of what is said to be the most extensive goatery in the country, visited Young's herd at Huntington Beach. Dr. Platt marveled at the healthy appearance of Youn's stock, and appeared astonished when told that Young had lost but three animals in five years. Good care and attention, was the reason given by Young for his success as a goat raiser. Young's goatery grew to such an ex- Bookkeepers are retaining it at twenty-five cents a pound, and it is sold in the local stores at from thirty to thirty-three cents a pound. At present prices of sugar and honey, honey as a sweetening product costs less than sugar. A little honey goes a long way. A small quality of it sweetens coffee, and honey can be used in numberless ways by the housewife. "White honey does not flavor coffee or other things with which it can be used," declared Bishop, "and there is no reason why house wives aren't saving money on sugar right now. All they have to do is to buy honey as a substitute. Now is a good time for them to buy honey, when it can be had directly from the producer. A lot of people will fail to grasp the opportunity. They will let this honey be shipped out of Orange county to some concern in Los Angeles, where it will be bottled in pint and quart jars, ad it will be shipped back here to be retained by local stores." Reports from all through the Santa Ana mountains, from the Santa Ana river clear down into San Diego county, are to the effect that the bloom is hanging on wonderful well. New bloom has kept coming on, and bees have had warm weather—warm but not too hot to keep the bloom—in which to work. There is just one feature that isn't honey to this story. That is, the fact that many of the apiary owners have allowed their apiaries to run down. Buying of sugar to keep the bees going in the winter was not relished, and some of the apiarists neglected their property at that time. They are now paying the price of negligence. The apiarists who kept his bees up as best he could has all the best of it. There isn't an apiary that is short of bee feed right now. The honey is flying in, and the harvest is not yet over with. C. E. Mitzlin went to Seal Beach from Compton a fortnight ago, thinking this would be a good place to carry out the business of manufacturing and selling whiskey, contrary to Uncle Sam's edict. Things apparently went all right for ten days, then city officers "got wise," put Mitzlin under arrest, and turned him over to federal prohibition officers from Los Angeles. When the United States officers visited the man's place they smashed the DeGroot's advertised phase of scout with enthusiasm by thousands of men connected with the Belfica, for the record in the field of phone one that few men equal in this court.

Dr. Platt marveled at the healthy appearance of Youn's stock, and appeared astonished when told that Young had lost but three animals in five years. Good care and attention, was the reason given by Young for his success as a goat raiser. Young's goatery grew to such an extent that his Huntington Beach place was found unsuited to his needs. Within the past few days he has traded his beach property, on which stands a seven-foot bungalow, to C. A. Moomaw, for a ten-acre ranch located six miles west of Santa Ana, on Seventeenth street. To effect the trade Young paid Moomaw approximately $11,000, in addition to turning over his beach property. The Seventeenth street ranch is set out to walnuts, oranges and other trees. There are also 600 laying hens on the property. The hens, Young says, he will dispose of, as he desires to devote all his attention to his goats. Young's goat farm is known as the Beni Hassen Goatery. MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR HONEY GROWERS Orange County Bee Has Been Unusually Industrious Apiarists of Orange county are in the midst of the greatest honey year the industry in this county has ever known. There are, perhaps, two or three years in the last forty years that equal this year for average production, but the high price of honey this year will C. E.

Things apparently went all right for ten days, then city officers "got wise," put Mitzlin under arrest, and turned him over to federal prohibition officers from Los Angeles. When the United States officers visited the man's place they smashed the still to pieces and took two automobile loads of whiskey which had been turned out by it to Los Angeles as evidence. It was a genuine still, it is said, and able to produce many quarts of whiskey daily providing enough rotten fruit, vegetables and garbage could be found to keep it going. Mitzlin, it is said, could make a gallon of passable good whiskey for 60 cents and sell it for $25. He used to work in the shipyards, but decided he could make money easier and quicker in the liquor business. When attorneys for the plaintiff failed to answer Friday when the case of Hattle Thayer of Anaheim, against the Fageol Motor company, was called, Superior Judge Z. B. West ordered the case off the calendar. The case can be restored again only upon motion or petition of th eplaintiff. Mrs. Phayer brought silt against the Fageol company for $50,000 damages for the death of her husband, Charles G.

NEW WESTERN SCOUT LEADER Fresh from his duties overseas, where, as director of athletics for the American expeditionary forces, he did conspicuous work in guiding the recreational activities of millions of doughboys, E. S. DeGroot, noted physical educator, joint author of the California public school physical education law, one of the organizers of the Playgrounds Association of Americans, organizer and director for eight years of Chicago's public recreation centers and considered an authority on physical development the world over, has definitely allied himself with the boy scout movement by accepting the position of scout executive of the Los Angeles council. Relinquishing a position paying a much higher salary, DeGroot, in consenting to devote himself exclusively to the development of scouting in Los Angeles, offers another example of the high grade of men that are now being attracted to the movement. DeGroot's advent into the executive phase of scouting will be hailed with enthusiasm by the hundreds of thousands of men and boys now connected with the Boy Scouts of America, for the record that he has built in the field of physical education is one that few men can excel or indeed equal in this country. SCOUTS NOT KNOWN IN COURT. "Of all the boys passing through the juvenile court in the past year, not one GIRLS WHO USE CUSS WORDS Singular Admission Said to Have Been Made by the Members of a Graduating Class. It has long been the fashion at colleges and schools to take a census of graduating classes to determine such vital facts as these: What is your favorite flower? How tall are you? Do you smoke? Are you a prohibitionist? At a girls' seminary a recent inquiry was mere sweeping. To the interrogation: "Do you swear?" 200 of the 215 girls answered yes. But admitting that they swear is not proof that these feminine lips do utter oaths. So at least says the law in New York state, writes "Griant" in the Philadelphia Press. "Four or five people" must hear you swear, not for a second or two, but "for about five minutes"—that's the law in North Carolina. Down in Alabama they don't expect a man to swear from the housetops, but the law says that if three or four persons hear you just once, good-night! In Tennessee it is not necessary to repeat the offensive words when a culprit is indicted for swearing. I saw on the veranda of a country club seventeen women of whom twelve were drinking an intoxicating liquor and seven were smoking cigarettes. But if that census at the girls' seminary is an index, more women swear than daily with John Barleycorn or Lady Nicotine. Query: Why do women insist on being so much like men?

It is through this plan that the county is guaranteed the payment of taxes on the property, which has been allowed to go delinquent by the owners. The property is held by the state for five years after which it is sold at public auction if not redeemed by the owners in the meantime. Monday the county sold at auction approximately 75 pieces of property, the taxes on which went delinquent five years ago. In most cases, this is beach property and is owned by non-residents, according to Tax Collector J. C. Lamb. Lamb declares that in most cases where Orange county property goes on the auction block the owners are non-residents of the county who do not realize fully the value of their holdings. "Orange county people seldom let their taxes go this long," said Lamb, "for they realize the value of their property and are anxious to hold it." The taxes which have gone delinquent this year are in a smaller amount than ever before. This is due to extra efforts put forth this year by Lamb and his deputies in running down owners of property which was about to go delinquent. Telephone books, city directories and the records of the county recorder were used extensively in tracing the owners of this property. While County Tax Collector Lamb and County Auditor W. C. Jerome are busy in handling the business connect- DeGroot's advent into the executive phase of scouting will be hailed with enthusiasm by the hundreds of thousands of men and boys now connected with the Boy Scouts of America, for the record that he has built in the field of physical education is one that few men can excel or indeed equal in this country. SCOUTS NOT KNOWN IN COURT. "Of all the boys passing through the juvenile court in the past year, not one was an active scout." That was the statement of U. E. Harmon, city attorney of Tacoma, Wash., and is one of the most significant bits of information in connection with the entire scout movement. Of the 700 boys now affiliated with the Tacoma council the fact that not one in active standing and only two who had ever had any connection with scout work should come under the consideration of the court officers speaks for itself of the ideals of conduct that the scout movement gives the boys associated with it, it is said. "Scouting has always appealed to me for three reasons," said Mr. Harmon, continuing his explanation of his great interest in the scout movement. "First, it teaches the boys the practical lessons they need to learn. Second, it gives them the recreation and physical activities in the great out-of-doors. Third, it holds up to the boys the highest ideals of service and good citizenship. "Such teaching, training and activities for the growing boys have an estimable value to a community," concluded Mr. Harmon. CHALLENGE TO THE CHURCHES. "I became well acquainted in the White mountains this summer with a layman from a large Eastern parish," writes Dr. George Parkin Atwater, in the Witness. "As we climbed Mt. Willard together, he asked, 'What do we need most? Could this church capture the child life?'" "It might," I replied, "if it would begin to train laymen for work among children, if it understood the meaning of the boy scout movement, if it poured its money into training men and women rather than into bricks and mortar; in other words, if it accepted the challenge of the children, as Doctor Gardner so finely puts it, and brought the training of children out of the basement into the chief place in the life of the church. "Moreover, never forget this: The surest way to the heart and life of the parent is through an interest in the child." Query: Why do women insist on being so much like men? OWED MUCH TO STEREOSCOPE Hew Commandera During the Great War Get Information of Vital Importance. The old-fashioned stereoscopie played an important part in the world war. It supplied an angle to photographs, snapped from airplanes, that could not be obtained from the ordinary camera lens. Before its use the pictures all seemed flat, but the stereoscopic added height, and thus steep slopes, that appeared in pictures like flat ground, were shown in their true characteristics, and the lives of men who would have to cover the ground in attack were saved. The airplane camera looks directly down on the spot to be photographed, making a picture as a one-eyed man would see it. A stereoscopic camera, in which the lenses age two and three-quarters inches apart, would not produce the stereoscopic effect. Photographers decided to take pictures 100 yards apart to give a view, just as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart, would see it. These pictures were put on cardboard, and viewed through the stereoscops. At first a cottage looked like a tower, a bucket like a well, a trench like a canyon, etc. The officers soon learned to translate these eccentricities, and the problem was solved. True pictures, giving just the exact information desired, were then obtained by the airplane photographers. The "Biblers." The Czecho-Slovaks, having attained national independence, attain also the privilege of reading the Bible in the national tongue, so the British Bible society is planning to print Czech Bibles purchasable for 50 cents each. Austrians and Italians have long called the Czecho-Slovaks "Biblers." The Czech Bible was first printed in 1475, but when the Czechs came under Austria the printing and reading of the Bible in their own language was forbidden. Copies of the Czech Bible were printed in other lands and smuggled in, but were burned if discovered. Religious persecution, dating back to the time of John Huss, the Bohemian reformer of the fifteenth century, combined with political persecution to make the Czech Bible rare, but all the more highly valued. Although, in modern days, the Austrian government permitted the circulation of the Czech Bible in the army, it continued to prohibit the circulation among the Czechs at home. Involving a price of approximately $6000 per acre, at which figure comparatively few citrus holdings in this county have changed hands, Roy Barker, a salesman employed by Harris Brothers, of Santa Ana, has sold to W. H. Lowry, of the Orange Union High School faculty, a six-acre Valencia orange grove on North Prospect avenue, near the corner of Fairhaven. In addition to the Valencias, which are fifteen years old, there is on the POWERED BY THE BROADCASTING TECHNOLOGY OF THE WESTERN UNION SCOUT REGISTRATIONS HELD. There is so much of uncertainty in industrial circles, so much of discontent and of the spirit of waiting in the national atmosphere, that it is quite understandable that scoutmasters who have devoted tremendous energy to their work through the war period should become a little more deliberate about their scout work this year. This tendency is expressed nationally in the delay of innumerable registration blanks. Energy is the secret of a prompt registration which sustains the extension work of national headquarters, maintains the records of the boys who will some day want the Veteran Scout badge and contributes so largely to the appreciation which the boys feel or do not feel regarding the opportunity to be a part of a certain troop. FOREST SERVICE FOR SCOUTING. The forest service through Forester H. S. Graves, addressing its officers on the extension campaign, said in part: "As you doubtless know, the boy scouts co-operated with the forest service last year in locating black walnut for the war department. We have sought to encourage the use of the national forests by boy scouts in various ways. The forest service has a peculiar interest in their activities and ideals, as they should have in ours." Americans Eat Little Mutton. In Great Britain about 22 per cent of all meat consumed is mutton. In France it is about 11 per cent. In Canada it is not quite 7, and in the United States is only about 3½ per cent. Last year (1918) the consumption of dressed meat (lard excluded) in the United States averaged 150 pounds per person, of which only 5 were mutton and lamb. The British, the Canadians, and the French—all similar types of people and having habits of life similar to Americans—use less meat than Americans do, but a much larger proportion comes from sheep. The United States gets its meat principally from cattle and hogs. Pork consumption is about 14 times, and beef consumption about 18 times, as great as our use of mutton and lamb. These are the annual averages for last year. Bag Changes Into A Float. A British invention for the relief of aeronauts making voyages over extensive stretches of water consists of a more or less circular gas bag in the center of which is stretched a "floor" of heavy fabric. Ordinarily, the raft is carried by the airship in the deflated state; but in the event of accident it can be inflated in a few minutes to form a most serviceable raft. The bag is really a series of bags, each being inflated through a separate air valve. Simple oar locks and a pair of oars are provided for propulsion purposes.
