"CUT OVERHEAD" IS NEW FARM SLOGAN Never in the history of intensified farming has there been a greater need for the careful study of production, and the elimination of the unessentials as there is today. The overhead must be reduced and the source of supply governed by the demands of the consuming public. It is no longer a case of growing two blades where one grew before, but it is the studying the cost of growing these blades in order to place it in the hands of the consumer at popular price with a fair return to the grower. Eggs, fruit, vegetables, milk and other leading products must receive this consideration, and the sooner they are handled in this manner, the sooner we can hope for stabilization in price and market. Careful thinkers also inform us that competition is going to enter into the readjustment program, more than it has for many years. Not only competition in manufactured goods, but in raw goods as well, one going hand in hand with the other. It therefore behooves farmers to know the detail of their enterprises and place on the market a finished standardized product, so that foreign shipments and inferior materials will not find a ready market. The winner in this competitive game will be the fellow who has cut his overhead to the minimum and giving an educated public the product he desires. MOVIE STARS INTERESTED IN MOTORING WELFARE Do movie stars take an active interest in the motoring welfare of the southern counties of California? Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California rise up to remark that the motion picture industry as a whole is one of the most loyal supporters of the welfare of autoing facilities. SEEKS DIVORCE In a suit for divorce filed in the superior court last week by Cleo M. West, of this city, from Wyatt O. West, the charges were made that in four months he had dissipated the sum of $2000 received as beneficiary under a relative's life insurance policy and that he "had transmitted" to his wife "vermin that inhabit the human body." According to the wife's complaint, the Wests separated last Tuesday after twenty-four years of wedded life. They were married in Carthage, Illinois, January 4, 1898, and have five children, ranging in age from 23 to 15. Once before the ways of husband and wife came near to the parting, she declares, saying that in 1915 she brought suit for divorce because he drank heavily. But he promised to reform so she dropped the suit, she alleges. Now she asserts that he failed to keep his promise. His practice of spending the week-ends away from home and refusing an explanation began, she declares, a year ago. He told her he was saving his money to buy a home in this city, but she found he was spending it instead, she alleges. They own a home at Glendora, two automobiles and have $400 in an Anaheim bank, she sets forth in her complaint. TRIAL JURORS DRAWN Trial jurors for the first half of 1922 in the superior courts of Orange county were drawn by Judge Z. B. West last Thursday as follows: Alfred R. Evans, Mrs. Catherine Broomell, Cora W. Hearn, Mrs. Esther E. Chapman, Eugene Livingston, Joseph H. Utz, Fred-L. Marsile, James H. Rochester, A. R. Christensen, Mrs. Frances B. Shepard, Mrs. Edna E.

Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California rise up to remark that the motion picture industry as a whole is one of the most loyal supporters of the welfare of autoing facilities in all the world of commercialism. Movie fans roundabout will be delighted to learn that practically all of their favorites are united with the auto club in a determined effort to boost the development of good roads throughout the southern part of the state, fair motor laws and the lessening of accidents. Among the most famous players who are members of the big organization, and thereby signify their allegiance to southern California motorins interests are: Wallace Reid, Pauline Frederick, Nazimova, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Viola Dana, Antonio Moreno, Herbert Rawlinson, Priscilla Dean, Rudolph Valenitno, Betty Compson and Erich Von Stroheim. Even some of the stars who make a great majority of their pictures in the east, and who only visit California for a few days or weeks out of the year keep up their club memberships from year to year. Elsie Ferguson is one of these, as are Norma and Constance Talmadge. Richard Barthelmess and Elaine Hammerstein. While the majority of these have made known their admiration for the insurance protection given by the club, they are unanimous in testifying that southern California is the place de luxe for motoring and they want the best the world has to offer out here in the way of good highways. The emblem of the club can be seen on most of the movie cars. WHY SAVE SUBMARINES? There continues to be plenty of public opinion in the United States that deprecates any effort in the Washington conference to use the influence of this nation for the preservation of submarines. Let us trust that the stain on this great gathering shall not be that America stood out for the right of U-boats to sink, "spurloss," the commerce of the seas under the pretence of he desires.

EDITORS WILL BE GUESTS Members of the Southern California Editorial association will be guests of the twelfth National Orange show on Saturday, February 18. Invitation of the show management has been accepted by the editors who will be accompanied by their wives for the day's outing when they will view the wonderful citrus displays. The guests will be served luncheon, probably at noon, to be followed by a short business session, after which the party will go in a body to the orange show grounds, where the balance of the day will be spent, there being no set program. This arrangement will give the writers the entire afternoon and evening at the show, it being also possible to remain over for Sunday before returning home. Plans for the show and reservations for space both in the fruit and industrial departments indicate that it will far surpass any former year in magnitude. An elaborate entertainment program including several of the best bands in the state and high class entertainers is being arranged. NORTH DAKOTA PICNIC All who ever lived in North Dakota are invited to meet for the great picnic reunion, all day, Saturday February 4, in Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. Come as early as you can and spend the day with friends. We will have county registers and headquarters so you will be able to find old WHY SAVE SUBMARINES? There continues to be plenty of public opinion in the United States that deprecates any effort in the Washington conference to use the influence of this nation for the preservation of submarines. Let us trust that the stain on this great gathering shall not be that America stood out for the right of U-boats to sink, "spurloss," the commerce of the seas under the pretence that it is necessary for American defense. The use of the submarine as a means of defense rather than of offense, has never been sufficiently shown. The need of the submarine as a means of offsetting the building of capital ships where the schedule of battleships has been limited, has not been demonstrated. The purpose of the present conference has been to reduce war danger and to abate the cost of preparing for war. Submarines have no mandate to interfere with this program. DISABLED SOLDIERS FILE COMPENSATION CLAIMS About two-thirds of the new cases of disabled soldiers who are now applying for compensation are afflicted with tuberculosis or mental ailments, according to Dr. Finsand, of the "flying squadron" of the veterans' bureau, which is in Chico now filing claims for disabled ex-service men. Thirty-five claims were handled by the squadron last week, eleven of which were new cases. The squadron considers that the visit to Chico has aided in clearing up old claims and getting in touch with new men who did not realize that they were entitled to compensation from the government. NORTH DAKOTA PICNIC All who ever lived in North Dakota are invited to meet for the great picnic reunion, all day, Saturday February 4, in Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles. Come as early as you can and spend the day-with friends. We will have county registers and headquarters so you will be able to find old neighbors even with five thousand present. There will be a brief program opening about two o'clock, but the main purpose will be to have a good time. We want to see all the tourists and visitors from the old home state as well as our residents so as to make this the greatest picnic in our history. Bring your baskets well filled and share with friends. Coffee will be served free to all who buy the souvenir badges. Each one who learns of this picnic is asked to pass the word along. HOW MUCH PUBLICITY CONSTITUTES CORRUPTION? The New York Evening Post says: "No man can enter the senate now with the record of having benefited by the expenditure of $100,000 or $200,-000 in his campaign and wear an unspotted toga." In the recent mayoralty campaign in New York City the New York Evening Post and other New York daily papers burned up an amount of space in behalf of the fusion candidate that at commercial rates it would have cost at least a million dollars to buy. The argument of the Post is that if the powerful newspapers of a given city or state combine against a candidate, no matter what their motives, and use ANAHEIM GAZETTE INDEED in the suby Cleo M.

Selling direct to the consumer is believed by poultry specialists of the United States department of agriculture to be the most profitable method of disposing of high-grade goods, for the charges of the middlemen are eliminated. Very often the producer is situated so that he can build up a retail trade among the families of a neighboring town or city, delivering his goods once or twice a week, or oftener if desired. In this way he can obtain a substantial increase over prices paid in the open market. Especially is this true in the TIME Time is not an old man— Time's an ardent youth; He's a keen and bold man. Prizing only truth. Shod with winged scandal, Armed with vision clear, Time's no wanton vandal, But a zealous seer. With a youth's assurance, Bold are his demands; Custom's long endurance Cannot stay his hands. Dogmas we have cherished, Half-truths we have known, At his word have perished, As a toy outgrown. Time's a chemist olden In God's wise employ, Sorting out the golden From the world's alloy. Constantly he's fighting Jewels in our way; Take the gifts he's bringing, Ever new today. Waste no time in weeping For the good that goes; Every thing worth keeping Time again bestows. Seeking but advancement, Never does he rest, Making by enhancement Better yield to best. Time is not an old man Musing by slow streams, He's a young and bold man, Promises to deeds, not dreams. Though all things man prizes Age beneath his view, Every day that rises Time is born anew.

Henry Ford claims to be the richest man in the world and is said to have one hundred and fifty million dollars in bank. If he has the faith he claim- in his ability to make Muscle Shoals project profitable to the country and to himself he would not ask congress to appropriate an uncertain number of millions of dollars to complete the work of construction, but would do the job himself. There would then be no necessity of the complicated scheme of compensation under which the only sure thing about the whole matter is that the people of this country are going to be asked to put a few dozen more millions into a business enterprise Mr. Ford is to operate. The people of the United States department of agriculture to be the most profitable method of disposing of high grade goods, for the charges of the middlemen are eliminated. Very often the producer is situated so that he can build up a retail trade among the families of a neighboring town or city, delivering his goods once or twice a week, or oftener if desired. In this way he can obtain a substantial increase over prices paid in the open market. Especially is this true in the case of strictly fresh eggs. Often it is possible to find customers in a town or city within reasonable hau- ing distance, taking eggs and poultry to them at regular intervals. Hotels restaurants and clubs are good customers which can be supplied in this way by contract. Often there are grocery and provision dealers catering to a select trade to whom the producer can sell regular supplies of eggs and poultry. Of course, the simplest way to sell produce is through the commission merchant. It does away with expense and trouble of private trades, but the returns usually are not so large, except when dealing with certain commission houses that have built up a fine trade along certain lines. The department of agriculture has several bulletins covering the subject of marketing poultry. Farmers' Bulletin 830, Shipping Eggs by Parcel Post, may be had free upon application to the division of publications; Farmers' Bulletin 528, Hints to Poultry Raisers, 5 cents; Department Bulletein 561, Feed Cost of Egg Production, price 10 cents, may be ordered of the superintendent of documents, government printing of fice, Washington, D.C. ABOUT MISTLETOE Once more we have come to the season of the mistletoe. The mistletoe is a parasite which lives off trees. Not only does it grow on the oaks, but is found on the pecan, hickory, elm, hackberry, osage orange, paper mulberry, locust, sasafras, persimmon, ash and various fruit trees, notably the apple, pear and cherry. But it prefers the oaks and the superstitious and mysterious. Drulids, the priests of the pagans of the British Isles and the lands on the south side of the English channel, got the idea that it was the soul of the oak, and that, as it remained green while the oak had lost its foliage, it was a symbol of everlasting life. To the Drulids there was something sacred about the oak tree, and, of course, the soul of the oak tree was especially sacred. Wonderful powers and properties were attributed to the mistletoe, and when paganism passed the early Christians clung to many of the pagan ideas about the plant. There was good luck in mistletoe. At Christmas, the mergiest day of the year, our northern ancestors would hang a branch of mistletoe over the entrance to the home as a sign of good luck and welcome. Kissing was much commoner and more promiscuous than now, and people entering the door over which the mistletoe hung exchanged kisses with the host and his family. In that way kissing and mistletoe probably became associated, so that when men hung mistletoe indoors as a decoration it continued to be the sign of the kiss, or an invitation to kissing. We still kiss under the mistletoe and many of our people still think of this plant as something mysterious and as having peculiar appropriateness as a Christmas decoration. THE TORRID ZONE "You bet is gets pretty cold where I came from," said the man from North Daokta. "I've seen 35 below many a time." "Call that cold?" sneered the man from Minnesota. "Why, where I come from we put out the fires to save coat when it warms up that much." MINUSING BY SLOW STREAMS, He's a young and bold man, Promise to deeds, not dreams. Though all things man prizes Age beneath his view, Every day that rises Time is born anew. ABOUT MISTLETOE Once more we have come to the season of the mistletoe.

IN THAT WAY KISSING AND MISTLETEO PROBABLY BECAME ASSOCIATED, SO THAT WHEN MEN HUNG MISTLETEO INDOORS AS A DECORATION IT CONTINUED TO BE THE SIGN OF THE KISS, OR AN INVitation TO KISSING. WE STILL KISS UNDER THE MISTLETEO AND MANY OF OUR PEOPLE STILL Think Of This Plant As Something Mysterious And As Having peculiar Appropriateness As A Christmas Decoration.
