THE GOVERNMENT'S PAY ROLL REDUCED Approximately one in each thirty-five adult residents of the United States is on the pay roll or the pension list of the government. At the time of the armistice the ratio was one adult in every fourteen. The change in the ratio represents the extent to which the government has deflated the vast organization of workers called to its assistance to carry on the great war. It means a saving to the public totalling near $1,000,000,000 a year. The war time United States has been transformed into a peace time nation so far as public affairs are concerned. The beneficiaries of the government now are grouped about like this: Persons Federal civil employees ... 700,000 Pensions, war compensation ... 1,000,000 Defense forces ... 200,000 Total ... 1,900,000 At the time of the armistice more than 5,000,000 persons were receiving regular sums from the government in the way of pay, pensions, compensation and special allowances. That total included the officers and men of the army and navy, the great army of civilian employees in the District of Columbia and in federal offices throughout the country and the beneficiaries under the war risk and pension burraus. Approximately 1,000,000 men and women were at work in the government civilian offices. Demobilization of the defense forces was begun almost immediately after the armistice. More than a year was required to transport back from France the millions who engaged in the war. The great army of civilian employees of the government for the most part, however, remained on the payroll until leaving that it was a surprise sacrifice national independence on the one hand and a source of war on the other, the voters of America rejected it by an overwhelming vote at the polls. They turned over to the opponents of the league of nations—the power to speak for this nation in an effort to promote world peace and world disarmament, and with that power goes a measure of responsibility. The United States and its spokesmen cannot alone secure world peace or limitation of armament. Neither can this nation be held responsible for failure of the present conference, unless the course pursued by our representatives shall be such as to prevent agreement without just cause. Counting the cost of war, in suffering and loss of life as well as in money, and feeling the burden of taxation incident to military preparedness, the American people are willing that their representatives shall go to the utmost extent consistent with honor and safety in the effort to make the conference a complete success. CALIFORNIA SYSTEM COMING TO THE FRONT For a number of years the relative merits of the California system of associated producing and marketing as compared with the non-partisan league idea in vogue in North Dakota has been an open question in a number of states. One of the rallying cries throughout the northwest, for instance, has been, the non-partisan league will get you if you don't associate in the California way. The issue has not been one of the producers against the middle men, but of the method of co-operation. The North Dakota system involved the mingling of business and politics in a semi-socialistic fashion, the California plan has been one of straight business. Is the tide beginning to turn against clines to do so to distribute its country. TIMER INVENTION George William San Joaquin Frolict an inventor that is deprived practically all light.

Approximately 1,000,000 men and women were at work in the government civilian offices. Demobilization of the defense forces was begun almost immediately after the armistice. More than a year was required to transport back from France the millions who engaged in the war. The great army of civilian employees of the government for the most part, however, remained on the payroll until the close of the Wilson administration. President Harding, pledged to economy and efficiency in the administration of public affairs, immediately after taking office, began to reduce the civil forces in Washington and throughout the country. A reduction of more than 30,000 has been made in the number of civilian employees, according to the reports of the civil service commission. The Harding administration is still wielding the pruning knife. At the close of the fiscal year the force of government clerks and minor officials in Washington had been reduced nearly 12,000 persons, the civil service records show. Less than $0.000 persons are employed by the government in Washington although at the time of the armistice the number was over 117,000. In government offices outside of the District of Columbia the total of civilian workers is now less than 600,000. At the time of the armistice the total was $800,000. For the first time in many months, the official statements of the treasury department now show what appears to be a permanent surplus of ordinary government receipts over ordinary expenditures. WHAT THIRTY BILLION WILL DO If limitation of armaments can check war or reduce the danger of war, or reduce the expense of military preparedness, it will be well worth while, even if it does not accomplish all that might be hoped for it. Aside from their own national honor and safety, there is scarcely anything the people this nation want more than they want relief from tax burdens and the destructiveness of war. Counting the cost in money only, the European war cost the United States more than $30,000,000,000—a hundred times as much as the cost of building the Panama canal, considered in its time one of the greatest undertakings the United States might assume. HIGH PRICED LAND Paying $52,600 spot cash, Charles K. Walker, recent arrival at Orange, is the owner of a ten-acre orange grove on East Chapman street, Orange, formerly owned by R. Y. Williams, judge of department two, Orange-county superior court, and W. B. Williams, cashier of the First National bank, Santa Ana. The acreage is planted to Valencia oranges. The trees are about fifteen years old. The fract is located in the 1200 block on East Chapman street. Orange, and is without residence improvements. It is one of the fine groves of that locality, and the price paid is reported to be the highest per acre received for orange grove property without residence improvements. Walker and his family are visiting relatives in Orange. It is understood. He is an oil man from Oklahoma. Possession will be given December 20 and immediately following, it is understood, that Walker will make preparations for the erection of a residence. BURNING CORN Farmers in the middle west are burning corn for fuel. In sections where corn is cheap, coal is scarce, or high in price and of poor quality. It cries throughout the northwest, for instance, has been, the non-partisan league will get you if you don't associate in the California way. The issue has not been one of the producers against the middle men, but of the method of co-operation. The North Dakota system involved the mingling of business and politics in a semi-socialistic fashion, the California plan has been one of straight business. Is the tide beginning to turn against the political idea in the very state where the experiment was tried? This is the question that is now being asked as the result of the recent recall election, in which three league officials were ousted from state positions. If the election means that the league has had its da yin North Dakota, it means also that the leadership of California is recognized as never before in the field of co-operative growing and selling. For in not a few states it has been clearly realized that unless the California plan of association were adopted voluntarily, some form of the league would thrust itself upon agriculturists. ORDINANCE AN ORDINANCE TION 10 OF ON OF THE CITY might be hoped for it. Aside from their own national honor and safety, there is scarcely anything the people this nation want more than they want relief from tax burdens and the destructiveness of war. Counting the cost in money only, the European war cost the United States more than $30,000,000,000—a hundred times as much as the cost of building the Panama canal, considered in its time one of the greatest undertakings the United States might assume. What would not thirty billion dollars do? Thirty billion dollars would buy all the railroads of the United States, free from debt, and leave ten billion dollars for betterments. Thirty billion dollars would build 600,000 miles of the best highway, at a cost of $50,000 per mile—highway enough to lay fifty national highways across the country east and west, and fifty similar highways across the country north and south. Thirty billion dollars would build and equip a college in each of the states and in Hawaii and the Philippines at a cost of $200,000,000 each and leave twenty billions with which to erect and equip one hundred thousand schools at $200,000 each. Thirty billion dollars would accomplish anything that could be devised by the most ardent advocate of public improvement as money could attain the end. When the American people contemplate what might be done with the amount of money we have just spent on war, they will stop at nothing short of yielding of national honor and safety in the effort to secure the assurance of permanent peace. The league of nations was as an assurance of peace. ANAHIM GAZETTE TIMER INVENTED BY LOCAL MECHANIC George Williams, an employee of the San Joaquin Fruit company, has perfected an invention of an automobile timer that is declared to do away with practically all ignition trouble. The timer, constructed for all internal combustion engines, includes a rotating shaft carrying a distributor adapted to make or break the secondary circuit leading to the respective spark plugs. The rotating shaft also carries means to make or break the primary circuit. It is the specific objection of the invention to improve the construction of the make and break mechanism for the primary circuit. The invention is also provided with a ratchet mechanism so arranged to prevent backfire. Mr. Williams has been a mechanic for a number of years and, realizing that the weakness of the automobile lay largely in the ignition, built his invention to remedy this. Starting in October, 1919, he patented it the following January. The device was installed on a Ford, and was declared to have made an increase of over eight miles over the regular mileage of the car on a gallon of gasoline. The invention has been approved by ignition experts. Mr. Williams plans to put his invention on the market in the near future. HE HAD HIS DOUBTS An elderly man was persuaded by one of his sons to go with him to a boxing exhibition. The son paid for two $2 seats. "Now, dad," said the son joyfully, "you'll see more excitement for your $2 than you've ever seen in your life before." SECTION 2.

Mrs. S. B. Kramer, 238 N. Lemon St., Anaheim, says: "An operation weakened my kidneys and about two years ago I began to suffer from pain across the small of my back. My right kidney felt as though it were swollen and ached dreadfully. I had dull, dizzy headaches, too. My housework was often neglected. I was so run down and my kidneys didn't act right, until I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and used them. I got Doan's at Heying's Pharmacy. They cured me of all signs of the trouble. The backaches left and my kidneys were regulated." Price 60c, at all dealers. Doon't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kedney Pills—the same that Mrs. Kramer had.
