The building will be one of the largest structures in the United States of its kind and its general plan will be along the lines of a gigantic horse-shoe with the open end towards the south, facing down the Arroyo Seco. The new stadium will stand in the Arroyo Seco about a mile above the famous Colorado street bridge. There the canyon widens out into a broad valley, affording wonderful opportunity for the structure. Not less than 10 highways, some of them as wide as 100 feet, will lead to the site, which for the stadium property proper consists of thirty acres. The new stadium will seat about 65,000 people and, if temporary seats are arranged around the open end, this seating capacity may be increased to 80,000, making the structure one of the largest of its kind in the world. The stadium is to be a true elipse, the only one of its kind in the United States, that is, among the larger structures of that variety. By concentrating on the maximum seating capacity on the sides of the stands, opposite the best playing part of the football field, where Tournament of Roses experience has proven most spectators wish to sit, there are some 15,000 more seats in this desirable location than in the similar locations on the Yale Bowl. The highest seat in the structure will be 72 feet above the playing field. The highest seat in the Yale Bowl is 65 feet, the added rows on the side in the Pasadena structure giving the added elevation. The playing field, which will also contain a 440-yard track and two 220-yard straightaways, will be excavated from the bed of the valley. At the north end this excavation will be about 30 feet and at the south end only about 10 feet, the slope of the bed of the Arroyo being such as to require different degrees in digging. The dirt excavated will be piled at the side and upon this bank and the bank of the excavation the sta... ANAHEIM GAZETTE Comstock and Bertha S.

WM. STARK, BEBE MAKES A HIT Cheer after cheer rang out and peals of laughter followed close on the heels of each other Wednesday night as a capacity audience witnessed the entertainment given by the home talent troupe at the Fullerton benefit of disabled soldiers. The entertainment is said to have been the largest ever given in Fullerton for a similar purpose. Among the film notables present were Bebe Daniels, who said she expected to pay Orange a ten-day visit soon; Will Rogers; the cowboy comedian; Miss Agnes Adams, of the Lasky Studios, and two Mack Sennet comedians, Kala Pasha, "the terrible Turk," and Hans Christen sen, "the Danish Tiges." Annette Kellerman was unable to come. When the curtain went up on the fair Bebe Daniels she was dressed in a manner, it was declared that would remind one of the first words of the national anthem. She sang: "Sweet Mama, you make Daddy so blue, you flirted with the butcher and you flirted with the baker and now you're flirting with zeal with the bachelor undertaker." She rendered a number of other ditties, part of one of which ran about as follows: "Oh, Judge Cox, I'm feeling so blue, I did speed a little on your highway, but those motor cops are so cruel. Do be kind with me, I pray." When the audience gave her voiciferous applause, she said: "You are awfully kind to me, considering I am a 'criminal' now." When the act was over and she was given a bonquet, holding her hand up SEES STADIUM FOR NEW YEAR ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1920 BESET WITH DIFFICULTIES Every kind of road cost twice as much to build in 1920 as it did in 1917, according to the chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, and highway construction suffered more than any other class of work through railroad congestion, strikes, labor troubles, and material shortages. After there was a great demand for improved roads. Many roads had been seriously damaged by war traffic, and it appeared that the return of men from military service would provide an abundance of labor. The army of laborers which was expected to apply for the work did not, however, materialize. On the contrary, there was a distinct shortage of labor, and wages reached the highest levels attained in the history of the country. In 1917, competent labor could be secured for from $1.50 to $3 per day, but the corresponding wages in 1920 were from $3 to $5 for a shorter day's work. City of Anaheim shall certify to the passage of this Resolution and to cause the same to be published once in the "Anaheim Gazette" a newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and circulated in the City of Anaheim and thirty days after its passage. It shall take effect and be in full force. The foregoing resolution was passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim held on the 10th day of February, 1921, by the following vote: AYES, Trustees: Stark, Backs,Gates Mann and Gibbs. NOBS, Trustees: None. ABSENT AND NOT VOTING, Trustees: none. And I further certify that the President of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, signed, and approved said Resolution on the 10th day of February, 1921. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set the corporate seal of said City of Anaheim, this 10th day of February, 1921. EDWARD B. MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. PRAISE OUR LABOR CAMPS Labor camps on the holdings of the Irvine company on the San Joaquin ranch, similar camps of the Santa Ana Sugar company and numerous other places. The growers are not erecting good camps merely to comply with the state law, of course, but because they realize they can obtain and keep a better class of help when proper accommodations are furnished. Since our inspection work was undertaken here in the south we have met with good success." INCOME TAX FACTS ROU SHOULD KNOW Births, deaths and marriages during the year, 1920 affect materially income tax returns for that year. Millions of babies were added to family circles, each of whom brings an exemption of $200 in the parents' income tax return.

The stadium itself will cover 14 acres. About it will be some 16 acres enclosed by an ellipse boulevard, the space between the highway and the stadium being the most choice space for parking autos. North of the stadium will be some 300 level acres where additional cars may be parked. In fact there is sufficient parking room near the stadium to handle over 20,000 automobiles. Electric car transportation will be by a one-track loop leading into a passenger car yard of many tracks. This electric car parking yard will be on the east of the stadium and close to it and so arranged that during the time the crowds are coming by street car they can stream through to the stadium over a width of 300 feet with no traffic crossings at all to endanger life or limb. Stabilization of prices within six months, with the level back to that of 1917, is the prediction Dean Johnson of the New York University School of Commerce. Cheering as it is, it would be more convincing, if Dean Johnson didn't issue, in the same statement, a call for the burning of all Liberty Bonds. The use of these government liabilities for the purchase of luxuries was partly the cause of the soaring prices, he says, and he would set a date for the destruction of them all by their holders. It may be good economics but it doesn't sound like human nature. INCOME TAX FACTS ROU SHOULD KNOW Births, deaths and marriages during the year, 1920 affect materially income tax returns for that year. Millions of babies were added to family circles, each of whom brings an exemption of $200 in the parents income tax return. Widows and widowers who lost their husbands or wives during the year are especially affected. They are single for the purpose of the income tax law and are granted only an exemption of $1,000 unless the head of the family. Persons who are divorced or separated by mutual agreement during the year also must consider themselves as single persons. The status of the taxpayer on Dec. 31, 1920 determines the amount of the exemptions. If on that day the taxpayer was married and living with husband, or wife, claim may be made for the $2,000 exemption. If single, or married and not living with wife or husband on December 31, the exemption is only $1,000. Persons who reached majority during the year and whose earnings for that period amounted to $1,000 or more, or $2,000 or more, according to their material status, must file a return and pay a tax on their net income in excess of those amounts. To avoid penalty, the returns must be in the hands of the Collector of Internal Revenue for the district in which the tarpayer lives, or has his principal place of business, on or before midnight of March 15, 1921. In the vocational and occupational schools of the United States army, there are 107 courses, ranging from agronomy to zoology. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50.

The United States is the most important market for Sicilian lemons, but for some time there have been practically no snipments of oranges to that country, as the American market is now largely supplied by California and Florida. According to Customs, statistics 59,-091 tons of lemons were exported from Palermo in 1919: 32,602 tons going to the United States. 11,806 to Great Britain, 10,437 to Switzerland, 879 to Holland, 401 to Belgium, 389 to Tunis. 311 to Denmark, 189 to Germany, 132 to Austria Hungary, 31 to Turkey and 17 tons to Australia. Exports of oranges were 7,431 tons, of which France took 3,303, Great Britain 2,256, Switzerland 1,474, Belgium 160, Holland 108, Denmark 64, and other countries smaller amounts. The 1919 lemon crop was considerably smaller than that of 1918 except the "verdellis." Throughout 1919 local producers held out for high prices which enabled them to pay the increased labor and irrigation charges and still make handsome profits. The exporters had a very unsuccessful year. The prices for lemons in the American market were very weak, except in August and September when very reasonable gains were realized. It has been estimated that about 25 per cent of the lemon crop is used in the manufacture of by-products. From the standpoint of production the year was a very successful one. The demand for citrate of lime, concentrated lemon juice, citric acid, tartaric acid, etc. was very large. The citrate SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Bids were opened for the construction of Coyote Bridge, in the Third Road District and Edgar T. Wheeler, being the most responsible bidder, the contract was awarded to him. James Sleeper, the Assessor of the County of Orange, was authorized and directed to assess for school purposes. The territory embraced within the boundaries of Orangethorpe. Report and plans in re: County Park, as presented by Miss Florence Yoch, were accepted. A resolution and order was passed to instruct James Sleeper, the County Assessor as to the establishment of the County Free Library. porters had a very unsuccessful year.

The citrate of lime, which is the juice of lemon preserved in lime, was all bought up by the Camera Augumaria and resold by them. In this manner it was possi-ble to maintain prices and bring forward surplus stock which was reduced to about 16,000 tons at the end of the year. There are only two Italian factories producing citric acid—one in Casale, in northern Italy and the other in Palermo. The lemon tree of California blossoms throughout the year, so that buds and blossoms and fruit in all stages of ripening are to be seen on the trees at the same time.
