INVADE SOLID SOUTH With but sixteen democrats in the House of Representatives outside the solid south and with thirty-one republicans from that formerly rock-ribbed Democratic section, the Republican leaders in Congress are in high hopes of permanently invading Dixieland. The final and official list of members compiled by W. Tyler Page, clerk of the House, gives for the Sixty-seventh Congress 302 Republicans and 132 Democrats, and one Socialist, a majority of Republicans over Democrats of 170. The Republican total is larger than ever held by any party in the history of the government, exceeding by 52 the Republican total immediately following the Roosevelt landslide in 1904. The majority also greater than at any previous time. After the Republicans and Progressives split in 1912, the Democratic majority over both was 145 and over the Republicans, 163. When the disastrous results of the second Cleveland administration become known, the Republicans of 1894 gained a majority of 140, and at that time the total number of Representatives was only 257 as compared with the present 345. Before that, in 1890, the Democrats won a majority of 143 out of a total of 333 representatives. The present Republican majority of 22 in the Senate is not the largest the party has had. In the Sixteenth Congress, the last of the Roosevelt Administration, the Republicans had 31 more Senators than Democrats. For a decade they maintained a majority approximately thirty, gaining a pre- Anaheim Gift Shop Navajo Blankets $20.00 to $50.00 Dinner Sets $12.50 to $100 Toys and Dolls Xmas Cards Blue Bird, Puritan, Emerson Talking Machines and Records We take your Liberty Bonds at par.

Efker, Next to Fairyland ANAHEIM GAZETTE LEGISLATORS CONFER Numerous measures of legislation that are to be proposed to the next legislature for passage were briefly discussed at a meeting of Southern California legislators at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Thursday. The discussion concerned a wide range of subjects, including irrigation, agriculture, community property, state hospitals, chiropractors and cattle and meat inspection. State Senator elect Walter Eden of Santa Ana, and Assemblyman-elect William O. Hart of Orange attended the meeting. Nearly all of the legislators of Southern California were present. Among those who appeared before the legislators was Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana, chairman of the Woman's Legislative council of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Lawton said that a revised community property law would be presented to the legislature through her council. Some of the features appearing in the law defeated in November will be altered. C. A. Barlow of Bakersfield, president of the California Irrigation committee, which is backing the proposition to divert the waters of the Sacramento River. BOY SCOUT WORK GROWING RAPIDLY There are 340 Orange county boys now organized into Boy Scout troops. There are seventeen troops organized and four more troops are in immediate prospect. When the Boy Scout work in this county was launched in October, it was believed that within the first year 500 boys could be brought under scouting influence. Instead of 500 medications are that the number will be 700, before summer camps are opened. The first quarterly report of the county Scout executive, Elmer E. Heidt, was given to the executive committee of the county organization Wednesday night. At that meeting arrangements were made for the annual meeting of the county organization, which is composed of district representatives and one representative from each organized troop. The annual meeting will be held on the evening of December 30 at the Church of the Messiah, Santa Ana. In preparation for that meeting, M. B. Wellington, county chairman, appointed W. C. Jerome and T. E. Stephenson as a nomination committee. In lining out a better central organization, so that the organization would be in working order and ready for re-organization for 1921, the executive committee established five permanent committees, and the chairman appointed committee heads as follows: Court of honor, Dr. Roy Horton; camping, Mac O. Robblins; scout activities, Walter Vandermast; publication; finance, E. E. Vincent. The report made by Scout Executive Director John D. McKinney is presented for approval. Legislation desired by representatives of the county mutual fire insurance companies of this state was given approval this week by State Insurance Commissioner Al McCabe and the commissioner's attorney, Raymond Benjamin, it was stated yesterday by C. W. McNaught, who has returned to the county from a meeting in San Francisco, where the proposed laws were presented for approval. J. D. Musgrove, of Bishop Yolo county, G. W. Ashley of Lodi, San Joaquin county, Chas. Erickson or Fresno, legislative committee of the state association of County Mutual Fire Insurance companies of California, and McNaught, who is secretary of the Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company, met in San Francisco Tuesday and Wednesday and revised some of the sections of the County Mutual Fire Insurance act of 1897, under which the County Mutuals are now operating. Because the Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company is known as one of the largest and best managed mutual companies in the state, McNaught was asked to meet with the committee and assist in revising some of the sections now in force—sections that are cumbersome and do not serve the purpose for which they were intended. The committee also blocked out a bill for an enabling act, which if it becomes a law, will permit an association of county mutual fire insurance companies to form a state central organization, as a strictly re-insurance company to take care of a part of the risks now carried wholly by individual county mutu- ``` SMALL ORANGES ACCOUNTED FOR The following letter from Prof. R. S. Valle, assistant professor of Orchard management at the citrus experiment station, Riverside is self explanatory. Dr. D. S. Fox, Farm Advisor, San Bernardino, Cal. Dear Mr. Fox:—Dr. Fawcett has asked that I give our opinion of the cause of the large number of small sizes in this year's orange crop. We have no accurate information on this question. Judging from past experiences and from a general resumption the climate conditions during the past growing season I would guess that the following causes were operative in this situation: 1. The blossoming last spring was prolonged until a date some two or three weeks later than normal. One should qualify this statement by saying that the blossoms started late last spring but a large percentage of the early bloom failed to set and it was the later bloom that is primarily responsible for the crop. 2. The long period of warm weather during July and August probably taxed the capacity of the trees to obtain moisture from the soil to the utmost. There was no great amount of tree wilting during this time but it seems quite likely that the moisture re In lining out a better central organization, so that the organization would be in working order and ready for re-organization for 1921, the executive committee established five permanent committees, and the chairman appointed committee heads as follows: Court of honor, Dr. Roy Horton; camping, Mac O. Robbins; scout activities, Walter Vandermast; publication; finance, E. E. Vincent. The report made by Scout Executive Holdt follows. Oct. 15-Dec. 15, 1920. The scout executive officially took up his duties Oct. 15, 1920. Since then I have devoted my time to the formation and organization of troops throughout the county. During this period to date the following troops have been registered at Scout headquarters: Santa Ana, 6 troops; La Habra, 1; Yorba Linda, 1; Katella, 1; Garden Grove, 1; Costa Mesa, 1; Orange, 1; Brea, 1; Anaheim, 1; Fullerton, 2; Tustin, 1. Two of these troops were registered prior to Oct. 15. This makes a total of seventeen troops in all, with an approximate enrollment of 340 scouts in the county to date. The following centers have been in the great majority been organized in the smaller communities, requiring greater scort and time than will be necessary when the larger communities, such as Fullerton and Anaheim are developed. The following centers/have been reached and troops will be formed in the very near future: Huntington Beach, Placentia, Laguna Beach, Olinda. The remaining points to be organized are: Balboa, Newport, Buena Park, Seal Beach, El Modena, San Juan Capistrano, Stanton, Olive, Delhi-Irvine, Richfield and Cypress. Other small points will be reached within the next two months, making the goal for troops by February 15, a total of thirty for the county. To date there have been 45 addresses made and 18 scout demonstrations in churches, schools, both Mexican and American, before clubs fraternal orders, parent-teachers associations, Sunday Schools, chambers of commerce and various public organizations. During the month of January a big scout field day will be held for all scouts of the county, with events in scout craft and athletics for individuals, patrols and troops, prizes to be awarded in winners in each event. with the committee and assist in revising some of the sections now in force—sections that are cumbersome and do not serve the purpose for which they were intended. The committee also blocked out a bill for an enabling act, which if it becomes a law, will permit an association of county mutual fire insurance companies to form a state central organization, as a strictly re-insurance company to take care of a part of the risks now carried wholly by individual county mutuals or by co-insurance with adjoining county mutuals. The committee went before State Insurance Commissioner McCabe and Attorney Benjamin ad outlined to them the proposals for changes in the act of 1917 ad proposals for a new law. Approval of the proposals was given by McCabe and Benjamin. DRASTIC TREATMENT Constable Jesse Ellott arrested an emaciated and untidy man giving the name of William Hoover. Ellott placed Hoover in the county jail, and filed a vagrancy complaint against him. Saturday morning Hoover appeared before Justice John B. Cox. The justice after a few questions, promptly found Hoover guilty of vagrancy, and sen- should qualify this statement by saying that the blossoms started late last spring but a large percentage of the early bloom failed to set and it was the later bloom that is primarily responsible for the crop. 2. The long period of warm weather during July and August probably taxed the capacity of the trees to obtain moisture from the soil to the utmost. There was no great amount of tree wilting during this time but it seems quite likely that the moisture relationships were such as to check the usual rapid growth of oranges during that period. There does not seem to be anything in connection with this fail's weather to cause either the lack of growth or the early coloring. I understand from Mr. Chase and other men of the U. S. D. A., who have worked on the question of maturity that orchards that are dry in the summer almost always color their fruit sooner than orchards supplied with moisture. This gives strength to the idea that the wide spread occurrence of early color is due to some general cause affecting the moisture relationships. A comparison of the weather records for several years past shows that the weather since middle September has been rather typical. Very truly yours, R. S. VAILD.

A bill has been introduced in Congress placing the ratio of population for congressional districts at 219,000, which is 20,000 less than the provision of a bill introduced two weeks ago. If the new bill should become a law, it would add 48 members to the lower house, and will give California fifteen, and possibly sixteen congressmen. At this ratio California will have fifteen congressmen and a balance of 141,000 population, which is a major fraction of the suggested ratio, and may give the state its sixteenth member. This may put San Diego, Orange and Imperial in one congressional district. French men of science are using sorghum for producing coloring material. The husks of sweet sorghum and those of sorghum with black seeds, hitherto of no use at all, yield a gum with very fine shades of color. Why worry about Democratic leadership? The Democratic party already is longer on leaders than it is on followers. ATTENTION, RANCHERS! Do you know what the Fordson Tractor will do on your particular ranch?
