GOING UPON A BUDGET In preparing a detailed budget for the coming year, County Engineer J. L. McBride has taken a step that is bound to bring about excellent results. A carefully worked out budget in public business is necessary to proper financing. The proposed budget for Orange county, totaling $875,911, presents a formidable proposition. The care of the dirt roads and paved highways and the construction of new pavement COUNTIES WILL UNITE TO PROTECT HIGHWAYS Orange San Bernardino and Riverside to Limit Trucks to 23,000 Pounds Ordinance₅ placing a load limit of 23,000 pounds gross on a single truck and 22,000 pounds net for a truck and one or two trailers is to be passed by Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The attitude of the state highway commission in its controversy with the Automobile Club of Southern California was approved. An agreement for the organization of a tri-counties flood control committee, with a tentative agreement to appropriate $2000 from each county treasury, was reached. These are the three outstanding acts of supervisors₆ of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties at a joint meeting held Monday afternoon at Riverside. The meeting was₇ called for two purposes, onto the consideration of the passage of a uniform truck control ordinance for the three counties, and the other for the reaching of an agreement looking toward Santa Ana river flood control activities by the three counties. Each object was accomplished. Winning up the meeting, the declaration of the attitude toward the attack that has been made on the state highway commission by the Automobile Club of Southern California, in company with the California Automobile club, was taken up on the suggestion of Supervisor T. F. Flaherty, Riverside. "The automobile clubs want to tell the highway commission what to do," said Flaherty. "The club wants to expend all available funds in building very heavy highways, and let the rest of the highways take care of themselves. The auto club plan means that the entire available funds would go to..." In preparing a detailed budget for the coming year, County Engineer J. L. McBride has taken a step that is bound to bring about excellent results. A carefully worked out budget in public business is necessary to proper financing. The proposed budget for Orange county, totaling $875,911, presents a formidable proposition. The care of the dirt roads and paved highways and the construction of new pavement and new bridges in Orange county is no small job. Only through careful planning and proper organization methods may the work be done and done well. The making of a budget is fraught with some uncertainties always, and the making of a budget for the care of paved roads in any county of this state at this time presents a good many difficulties. The bit of pavement that is standing up well today may be subjected to unusually heavy traffic tomorrow, and it may be knocked to pieces in short order. The destruction of a portion of one street menaces another. Heavy trucks pounded great holes in West Fifth street. When West Fifth street by the acts of the trucks themselves became unfit for travel, the trucks began using West Fourth street, and at the rate of disintegration now going on there West Fourth street will soon be a match for West Fifth. What has happened to this city street may happen to some of the county roads. County officials unfortunately are not gifted with prophetic powers. In making up a budget, therefore, they lay their plans according to their best judgment. Once the task is outlined and through the fixing of tax rates money is made available for the work, the engineering force may tackle its job with a great deal more forcefulness than is possible when it hardly knows from month to month what is ahead of it. The estimated expenditures reach a huge total—$875,911. Why? The question has been answered too often to need an answer. Everyone knows that unlocked-for development of heavy trucking furnished the reason for the going to pieces of our paved highways. Repair work alone will mount high. All new roads are being built stronger than was thought necessary ten years ago. Our board of supervisors is to hold Club of Southern California, in company with the California Automobile club, was taken up on the suggestion of Supervisor T. F. Flaherty, Riverside "The automobile clubs want to tell the highway commission what to do," said Flaherty. "The club wants to expend all available funds in building very heavy highways, and let the rest of the highways take care of themselves. The auto club plan means that the entire available funds would go to building heavy pavement between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The highway commission has faced problems, but it is doing its very best to live up to its pledges to the people of California who voted this money. If the highway commission took the program laid down by the auto clubs a rank injustice would be done to the people of this state." "The highway commission ought to be commended highly for the stand it has taken in the face of the unfair tactics and unjust criticism of the auto clubs," declared Supervisor Wassum, of Tustin. A motion was put and carried unanimously approving the attitude of the highway commission. Some of the supervisors wanted also to go on record as condemning the attitude of the auto clubs. However, the motion went through with the commendation for the highway commission, which, as was pointed out, carried its own message as to the opinion of the supervisors concerning the auto club. FORD TAKES UP WATERWAYS Back of Henry Ford's proposal to take the Muscle Shoals project off the government's hands there is said to be a pioneering project bigger and more spectacular than anything yet undertaken by this unconventional business man. It is a practical utilization of the country's interior waterways for the combined purposes of manufacture and transportation. Mr. Ford's possession and operation of the ultrate plant at Muscle Shoals would be apparently, only an incident in his general plans. He is supposed to want the water power developed by the Tennessee river at that point mainly for the purpose of manufacturing Ford cars and tractors. There is plenty of iron and coal near at hand. Thus his raw materials would be more accessible than they are in Michigan. But the transportation possibilities are thought to assume in his mind no less tally during the motorists to have frequently."

Why? The question has been answered too often to need an answer. Everyone knows that unlooked-for development of heavy trucking furnished the reason for the going to pieces of our paved highways. Repair work alone will mount high. All new roads are being built stronger than was thought necessary ten years ago. Our board of supervisors is to hold a conference at Riverside next Monday with supervisors from San Bernardino and Riverside counties. At that conference the question of adopting a uniform load limit for trucking in the three counties is to be discussed, and probably some limit will be settled upon. Since the state legislature failed to pass a measure reducing the load limits for trucking, the counties ought to waste no time in passing ordinances to protect their highways. Orange county already has a load limit of 23,500 pounds. Nearly everyone who has studied the matter declares that the limit here should be cut materially. The reduction of 2000 or 3000 pounds will do little or no good. Drastic action is necessary. That the supervisors of the three counties could meet and not take some drastic action seems unbelievable. Things cannot go on as they are, for the roads are going to please faster than they can be repaired. A budget is an important step in the right direction. A bludgeon for illegitimate trucking and for all kinds of trucking that breaks up our roads is equally important—Register. A shiny nose doesn't necessarily indicate a bright mind. Mr. Ford's possession and operation of the ultrate plant at Muscle Shoals would be apparently, only an incident in his general plans. He is supposed to want the water power developed by the Tennessee river at that point mainly for the purpose of manufacturing Ford cars and tractors. There is plenty of iron and coal near at hand. Thus his raw materials would be more accessible than they are in Michigan. But the transportation possibilities are thought to assume in his mind no less importance. The Tennessee is navigable from Muscle Shoals to its mouth, and he would keep it so, improving the channel. Through it he would gain access to the whole great system of waterways which include the Mississippi, Ohio, Arkansas and other navigable streams. Thus Mr. Ford would be able to ship his cars and tractors by water, cheaply and easily, anywhere over a vast and populous area. Through the Mississippi, too, he would have direct access to the sea and thence to foreign countries. He might reasonably expect, also, to gain good water connection with the Great Lakes, thus joining his Alabama plants with his Michigan plants, and having another valuable water exit eastward via the New York barge canal to New York City or down the St. Lawrence to Europe. Other people have talked much about the value of the nation's waterways. If Mr. Ford, with his characteristic directness and practicality, proceeds to do something about the matter without talking, it will be a fine example for the government itself and for private enterprise in other industries.

"This is especially important to remember in warm weather when the evaporation is much more rapid than in winter. As the plates become exposed to the air, a layer of lead sulphate is formed on their surfaces clogging the pores and retarding the flow of current. When this happens the battery can often be saved by giving it a long slow charge which will dissolve the sulphate of lead. But if this remedy is delayed for a long time the sulphation will become so heavy that it is likely to ruin a battery. This coating of sulphate is the reason that it sometimes takes four or five days to charge a battery properly. By being careful to keep the battery full of distilled water at all times this trouble may be avoided. The Vesta service station is always glad to inspect your battery no matter what make it is and to fill it with distilled water as often as necessary. Especially during the summer will it pay the motorists to have his battery inspected frequently." West Bros., proprietors of the Auto Electric Maintenance Co., have recently opened a branch station at Placentia, where motorists may receive the same efficient service as at their main station in Anaheim. FORMING SHRINER CLUB City Marshal San Ignacio local mainder of the present crop year, which ends July 31. India began the season's wheat harvest in the northern hemisphere, completing cutting in May; and the outcome was, as had been forecast, a short crop. Indian is not only out of the exporting list for the next 12 months, but may, and probably will be, an importer. With the winter wheat prospects in the United States cut down 55,000,000 bushels to a total of 574,000,000, estimated in the July report of the bureau of markets and crop estimates, and the spring wheat conditions reduced by heat, drought, and rust, the importers will apprehensively watch the harvest in every country until Canada's farthest north crop is finally secured. Canada's wheat is threatened by drought and rust. SURPRISED AT OUR GROWTH Whenever men of affairs foregather in the Bay district, the conversation eventually turns to the oil development of Orange county." said Dr. Thomas R. Randall, prominent physician of San Francisco. "The eyes of the whole state seem to be on Orange county. I have spent two days, now roaming about its highways and byways, after an absence of six years and I am returning home tonight firmly convinced that this county is indeed 'nature's prolific wonderland.'" "The marvelous growth of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton and Orange is a revelation to me—it is like magic. And I am deeply impressed with your harbor improvements—that is another Orange county enterprise that one hears a great deal about nowadays. I have always considered Orange county just about the most beautiful section in the state and after this visit I am returning home more satisfied than ever that it is, indeed." EGG LAYING CONTEST SONG OF THE RIVER Clear and cool, clear and cool. By laughing shallow and dreaming pool; Cool and clear; cool and clear, By shining shingle and foaming weir; Under the crag where the ouzel sings. And the lived wall where the church bell rings. Undefiled for the undefiled; Play by me, bathe in me, mother and child. Dank and foul, dank and foul, By the smoky town in its murky cowl; Foul and dank, foul and dank, By wharf, and sewer, and slimy bank; Darker and darker the further I go. Baser and baser the richer I grow; Who dare sport with sin-defiled Shrink from me, turn from me, mother and child. Strong and free, strong and free. The flood-gates are open away to the sea; Free and strong, free and strong. Cleansing nay streams as I hurry along To the golden sands and the leaping bar, And the taintless tide that awaits me afar. As I lose myself in the infinite main, Like a soul that has sin'd and is pardon'd again. Undefiled for the undefiled; Play by me, bathe in me, mother and child. Charles Kingsley. PUEBLO RELIEF The Pueblo relief fund needs $250,-000 more to conduct the rehabilitation work placed in the hands of the Red Cross relief operations, according to a statement by W. Frank Persons, vice-chairman of the national society, who has just visited the scene of the disaster, according to word reaching here. FORMING SHRINER CLUB City Marshal San Jernigan, local representative of the potentate, Mystic Order of Shriners, has taken the initiative in organizing a Shriner's social club for Orange county. As a step in this direction Jernigan is securing a roster of all members of the lodge who reside in Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton. He has prepared blank rosters which he has distributed among lodgemembers in the three cities and all of the lodge members are showing a keen interest in the proposed club. "What we want," said Jernigan, "is a social union to promote and foster closer relations and good fellowship among our lodge members and provide an organized and hospitable means of extending fraternal acquaintance." "A soon as the rosters are completed I will call a meeting which will be held at the Grand opera house at Santa Ana. We will then formally organize by appointing officers. It is our intention to make the club one of the finest in Orange county. All of the nobles of the order are interested and it will not be difficult to get the club established." STRIKING PACKERS RETURNING TO WORK Orange Union Accepts Reduction of Half Cent a Box The strike of orange packers in the packing houses at Orange and vicinity is virtually at an end, with the schedule of 5 1-2 cents a box for packing remaining effective. With the recently organized packers voting at a meeting to return to work at the lower scale if all the strikers should betaken back, and the managers of the various packing houses announcing their intention not to penalize the strikers by refusing them employment, the strike was considered more or less a closed incident. According to the statement of Mrs. Lloie King of Orange secretary of the city, Anaheim, Finerton and Orange is a revelation to me—it is like magic. And I am deeply impressed with your harbor improvements—that is another Orange county enterprise that one hears a great deal about nowadays. I have always considered Orange county just about the most beautiful section in the state and after this visit I am returning home more satisfied than ever that it is, indeed." EGG LAYING CONTEST Plans for the southern California farm bureau egg laying contest which will be held at Pomona beginning October 1st are about completed. The site was selected some time ago and the egg laying contest committee composed of Prof. J. E. Dougherty, of the university farm at Davis; G. E. Gordon, assistant farm advisor for Los Angeles county; C. G. Ross, of Pomona; E. J. Hauser, of Fontana, and M. A. Schofield, of the poultry producers of southern California, has decided upon the shed-roof type of house which the university recommends. The birds will be kept in pens of about 100 birds each in order to make the contest compare as nearly as possible with the conditions on a good commercial poultry farm. All birds will be trap nested and the birds with their records will be returned to their owners at the end of the year, on October 1, 1922. The contest will be for entries from southern California only for the first year and will be limited to fifty entries. Poultrymen from all of southern California should support this in order to make it a truly representative southern California contest. Rules and regulations as well as application blanks have been gotten out and may be secured from members of the committee as mentioned above or from the farm advisors of any of the southern counties or from the office of the Poultry Producers in Los Angeles. It has also been decided to conduct some experimental work and it is desired to get 400 White Leghorn pullets for this phase of the work. The committee is asking that poultrymen donate two pullets to the contest committee to be used for this work. This will aid the committee materially in financing the work and will not make a burden on anyone. Anyone desiring to donate these pullets should make known their wish to any one of the committee. Application for entries in the contest should be made to G. E. Gordon, 361 Court House, Los Angeles. PREPAREDNESS A certain clergyman always felt it his duty to give each couple a little serious advice before he performed the marriage ceremony. He usually took them aside one at a time and talked very soberly to each regarding the great importance of the step they were about to take and the new responsibilities they were to assume. On day he talked in his most earnest manner for several minutes to a young woman who had come to be married. And now," he said, in closing, "I hope you fully realize the extreme importance of the step you are taking, and that you are prepared for it." Prepared! replied the bride inn- With the recently organized packers voting at a meeting to return to work at the lower scale if all the strikers should betaken back, and the managers of the various packing houses announcing their intention not to penalize the strikers by refusing them employment, the strike was considered more or less a closed incident. According to the statement of Mrs. Lilia King, of Orange, secretary of the Orange organization of the International Fruit and Vegetable Workers' union, many of the strikers at the meeting expressed a desire to return to work under the reduced prices per box inaugurated by the packing houses two weeks ago. The result of the discussion in the union meeting was a decision to accept the new rate and for all strikers to return to work, providing discrimination were not shown against members of the union. WHEAT HARVEST LARGE The wheat harvest season in the United States as it affects the world's supply is being watched this year as it has at no time since the signing of the armistice, say officials of the bureau of markets, United State department of agriculture. Estimates thus far indicate that this country will have a crop around 809,000,000 bushels, as compared with 787,000,000 bushels last year, which, it is thought, will make up somewhat for less encouraging reports from other parts of the wheat producing world. The southern hemisphere—Australia and Argentina—started the present calendar year with two good crops, which seemed to assure the importing countries of ample supplies for the re-lets for this phase of the work. The committee is asking that poultrymen donate two pullets to the contest committee to be used for this work. This will aid the committee materially in financing the work and will not make a burden on anyone. Anyone desiring to donate these pullets should make known their wish to any one of the committee. Application for entries in the contest should be made to G. E. Gordon, 361 Court House, Los Angeles. HOW TO KILL A CHICKEN One of the most satisfactory and humane ways to kill a bird is to hang it head downward and cut the main veins in the neck at the base of the skull, so that quick bleeding is assured, say home economic specialists, United States department of agriculture. As soon as the veins are cut the brain should be pierced with a sharp, stiff slender knife, to kill the bird and cause the feathers to loosen. If the proper areas in the brain are destroyed by the knife thrust, the feathers may be plucked easily and without tearing the skin. The common way is to plunge the carcass into boiling water, but this destroys the natural appearance of the skin and increases the chances of decomposition. A bird should be cooled as quickly as possible, preferably by keeping it in a dry cool place. In warm weather, when no dry cold place is available, it should be cooled in cold water. Dry chilled fowls are better than those cooled in water. Few things are harder than having faith in the masses when they don't have faith in you. The finest lake breezes come from an electric fan. WALTER WAS IRRITATED It is, perhaps, unnecessary to give the name of the New England city which is the residence of the lad who figures in this story. There has been a visitor, and to this lad she said: "And so this is little Walter My, my. What a big boy you've grown to be. I wouldn't have believed it possible." "Mother," said Walter when the visitor had gone, "doesn't it pass your comprehension how persons in whom one would naturally expect an ordinary degree of intelligence appear to believe, all history and nature to the contrary, that the children of their acquaintance will always remain infants and persist in expressing surprise when they observe the perfectly natural increase in one's stature?" — Washington Star.
