POLE LIFE LENGTHENED BY USING PRESERVATIVES Telephone Scientists, After Long Study, Find Way to Arrest Decay Because of the nature of their business the telephone and telegraph companies and the railways have given close study for many years to the preservation of timber when exposed to weather and soil. They have many millions of dollars invested in timber products, and the development of processes to lengthen the life of those structures has resulted in important savings. Among many investigations of the problem of wood preservation, those of the Bell telephone system are especially interesting and valuable in view of their extensive character. There are several varieties of wood which are well known for their decay resisting property among red and white cedar and chestnut. Although an excellent wood both for strength and resistance to decay, block locust does not occur abundantly. The life of any variety of timber when used as poles or posts depends upon the nature of its surroundings. Extensive observations show that on the average the life of even the woods more resistant to decay can be approximately doubled by proper treatment. General experience shows that in the case of resistant woods the part of the pole which is placed in the ground is subject to the most rapid decay. In most soils the portion of the pole extending from a few inches below the ground to about two feet below, is found to suffer more from decay than any other part. The decay of this underground portion is largely the result of fungus growth, the fungus feeding upon the exposed surface of the pole. Imperfections of the pole surface and holes resulting from the CO-OPERATION'S VICTORY American farmers have won their biggest legislative fight. After nearly four years a bill to legalize co-operative marketing has passed both houses of the congress. The senate on February 8 by a vote of 58 to 1 passed the Capper-Volstead bill in substantially the form is passed the house. The big fight in the senate was over the question of adopting the substitute bill reported from the committee on the judiciary. This bill, written by Senator Walsh, of Montana, proposed to strike out all of section 2 of the house bill and amend section 1 in two important respects: Providing that nothing contained in section 1 of the house bill should in any way affect section 2 of the Sherman anti-trust act, the section forbidding the creation of or attempt to create a monopoly in any part of the supply of a product. Providing that co-operatives shall not handle the products of nonmembers in an amount exceeding in value the products of members. To the second amendment attached to section 1 of the bill farm leaders made no objection and it was adopted by the senate. To the monopoly restriction and to the attempt to take the jurisdiction away from the secretary of agriculture as provided in section 2 of the house bill, strenuous objection was made. This resulted in the defeat of the senate substitute by the vote of 56 to 5. Some differences of opinion arose among the senators in the debate as to the exact meaning of section 2 of the bill on the point whether a price fixing power was conferred on the secretary of agriculture. The leaders for the house bill called the farm organization representatives into conference, and it was agreed that the order issued against a co-operative association found guilty of monopolizing and cue of the allies and defeat, territorial location of huge indemnity an indecisive conclusion war, we have thereby as Professor Fisher ilk allege, not the gill will of the allies done this service, we capital to reconstruct economic system rather our own, and having way of territory or millions of square miles and shipping with our associates in this now hesitate about pindemnity ourselves. Our associates in "laugh in their sleeves" of paying back the dollars they borrowed States, although that saved them from these times that amount as feat in the world war would be unreasonable to lend a few billions which are ready to make to them in an bury it. It is our duty, in our powerish America in financial and industrial rope may be restored league of nations, without us, by pledging man-power of the United support of nations we angry and ungrateful billion dollar expenditure ready made in their hands. That there are Amthis conception of An ability and duty, seem there are many of these seats of higher learning just now busying their movement to rehabilitate the case of resistant woods the part of the pole which is placed in the ground is subject to the most rapid decay. In most soils the portion of the pole extending from a few inches below the ground to about two feet below, is found to suffer more from decay than any other part. The decay of this underground portion is largely the result of fungus growth, the fungus feeding upon the exposed surface of the pole. Imperfections of the pole surface and holes resulting from the presence of wood borers tend to hasten decay. Although a certain amount of moisture is essential to the rapid growth of the fungus it has been found that decay is appreciably retarded on poles set in marsh land, where the butts are entirely submerged and air consequently excluded. The fundamental requirement of all preserving methods involves the formation of a resisting layer on the outer surface of the timber so as to prevent it from being a satisfactory feeding ground for the fungus. Experiments carried out by the Bell telephone engineers in collaboration with U.S. forest service show that it is possible to form such a resisting layer by the proper application of certain by-products of coal tar, the so-called dead oil of coal tar (creosote) being particularly satisfactory. The creosote may be applied in several ways, the so-called brush treatment being simplest. Preparatory to brush treatment the poles are seasoned and their butt surfaces cleaned of dirt and inner bark. The preservative is applied to the clean surface by means of a brush, the best results being obtained when the preservative itself is at a temperature between 150 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. A longer life is obtained by applying a second coat after the first has had time to work its way into the wood. In most soils it has been found sufficient to coat only the surface of the pole at which heavy decay occurs, that is from about one foot above the ground to two feet below it. Two or three coats of preservative when properly applied by brush treatment will effect an average increase in life of about five years. A treatment which is slightly more effective than that just described consists in immersing the pole butts in an open tank of heated preservative for fifteen or twenty minutes. By lengthening the time of the open tank treatment its effectiveness may be greatly increased. A very satisfactory procedure is to keep the butts in the hot Some differences of opinion arose among the senators in the debate as to the exact meaning of section 2 of the bill on the point whether a price fixing power was conferred on the secretary of agriculture. The leaders for the house bill called the farm organization representatives into conference, and it was agreed that the order issued against a co-operative association found guilty of monopolizing and restraining trade to such an extent as to unduly enhance a price of a product should be directed against the monopolization and restraint of trade and not against the price of a product. This amendment was introduced by Senator Lenroot and thus saved a long drawn out squabble over the possibility of conferring price fixing powers upon an executive officer of the government. As the bill passed the senate it authorizes: That persons engaged in the production of agricultural products as farmers, planters, ranchmen, dairymen, nut and fruit growers may act together in associations, corporate or otherwise, with or without capital stock, in collectively processing, preparing for market, handling and marketing in interstate and foreign commerce such products so engaged. Such associations may have marketing agencies in common; and such associations and their members may make the necessary contracts and agreements to effect such purposes, provided that such associations are operated for the mutual benefit of the members thereof, as such producers, and conform to one or both of the following requirements: First—That no member of the association is allowed more than one vote because of the amount of stock or membership capital he may own therein, or. Second—That the association does not pay dividends on stock membership capital in excess of 8 per centum per annum; and in any case that the association shall not deal in the products of non-members to an amount greater in value than such as are handled by it for members. DESTROYING AMERICA TO RECONSTRUCT EUROPE Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale university, is a fair sample of the pro-European propagandist in the United States. He has just returned from without us, by pledging man-power of the Union support of nations we angry and ungrateful billion dollar expenditure ready made in their hands. That there are Amherst this conception of Ancestry and duty, seem there are many of these seats of higher learning just now busying this movement to rehabilitate brand of international Wilson foundation or other means known one time had this company bamboozled while under war psychology. ESTABLISHES OFFICE IN Announcement was made by executives office Finance building, Los Angeles Governor Wm. D. Steele the greater portion of April in Los Angeles. Governor Stephen L. Los Angeles on the 10. and will remain. The statement is made of the governor, that he and growth of the soil state has occasion of Governor Stephen Lime time in Los Angeles. The further announcement that Governor Stephen Lime vide his time almost Sacramento and that he of the state, maintains quarters while in the Angeles. CRUDE FOOD The department of Washington calls attention that crude foodstuffs exceeded the export foodstuffs and that he has this occurred in trade, namely, in 1915 and 1881." The 1921 exports was slightly lower while partly or whole foodstuffs totaled nearly The tendency for many for an increasing ammunition exports to go out main department suggests that Russia has not contributed an important factor." A treatment which is slightly more effective than that just described consists in immersing the pole butts in an open tank of heated preservative for fifteen or twenty minutes. By lengthening the time of the open tank treatment its effectiveness may be greatly increased. A very satisfactory procedure is to keep the butts in the hot preservative until the bubbling, caused by air and steam escaping from the wood, has ceased. The hot creosote may be then allowed to cool, whereupon atmospheric pressure will force the oil into the wood cells from which the air and moisture have come. It has been found that the preserving process may be shortened and a saving of creosote effected if the poles are transferred after thorough heating in the hot creosote to a tank of cold creosote. The open tank treatment uses much larger quantities of preservative per pole and is much more effective than the brush treatment, being capable of nearly doubling the life of the more resistant varieties of timber. Timbers deficient in durability both in the ground and above it necessarily require the application of preservative throughout their entire length. This requires the adoption of the so-called cylinder pressure process. By means of total immersion of the pole and the application of heat and pressure an ample penetration of preservative is effected. Speaking of automobile wrecks, how about the boy who has been so wrecked by automobiles that he isn't good for anything except to drive one of them? DESTROYING AMERICA TO RECONSTRUCT EUROPE Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale university, is a fair sample of the pro-European propagandist in the United States. He has just returned from Germany, where he went to look into the claim of a chemist that he had been able to produce synthetic gold, which is a good deal like saying that he has been in Pittsburg examining a new perpetual motion machine. The Newspaper Enterprise association is putting into circulation some articles by Professor Fisher on the world economic situation—the following extracts give an idea of their drift: "Sound economics demand that America should make further loans to Europe instead of hagging over war debts. If we nurse Europe along perhaps twenty years from now there will be a prosperous Europe paying handsome dividends. War debts are practically hopeless anyway. No reasonable man in Europe expects any of the international war debts to be paid, excepting perhaps Great Britain's debt to America and part of the German reparations. They laugh in their sleeves at the idea. They think we abandoned them—and they are willing to let us whistle for our money. "A great deal of these (Europe's) dangers and their reaction on America and the depression of our trade are due to the refusal of America to join the league of nations. Without us it has only a feeble power." In short, because we went to the res- ANAHEIM GAZETTE cue of the allies and saved them from defeat, territorial loss and the imposition of huge indemnities, or at the best an indecisive conclusion of the world war, we have thereby incurred, justly, as Professor Fisher and others of his ilk allege, not the gratitude, but the ill will of the allies, because, having done this service, we refuse to use our capital to reconstruct Europe's economic system rather than to restore our own, and, having asked nothing by way of territory or indemnity while millions of square miles of land and millions of dollars in money, materials and shipping were divided up by our associates in the world war, we now hesitate about paying the German indemnity ourselves. Our associates in the world war "laugh in their sleeves" at the thought of paying back the eleven billion dollars they borrowed from the United States, although that money is what saved them from the loss of many times that amount as the result of defeat in the world war. Nevertheless it would be unreasonable for us to refuse to lend a few billions more to nations which are ready to repudiate loans made to them in an hour of dire necessity. It is our duty, in other words, to impoverish America in order that the financial and industrial fabric of Europe may be restored, and to join the league of nations, confessedly feeble without us, by pledging the wealth and man-power of the United States to the support of nations we have only made angry and ungrateful by the hundred billion dollar expenditure we have already made in their behalf. That there are Americans who have this conception of America's responsibility and duty, seems astounding; yet there are many of them, especially in seats of higher learning. They are just now busying themselves with a movement to rehabilitate the Wilson public, according to Chas. B. Fee, passenger traffic manager. The miniature time tables are printed in colors and contain full schedules of passenger trains operating in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys as well as the coast line. Hundreds of thousands of the little time tables will be distributed to hotels, banks, business houses and other places where they will be accessible to the traveling public.

Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the board of directors held on the 9th day of March, 1922, assessment No. 12 of two ($2.00) dollars per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation, payable at once to the secretary of the company, at Anaheim, Orange county, California. Any stock upon which the assessment shall remain unpaid on the 18th day of April, 1922, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on the 17th day of May, 1922, at 2 o'clock p.m., to pay for the delinquent assessment together with the costs of advertising and expenses of sale.

D. Stephens will spend the greater portion of the month of April in Los Angeles and vicinity. Governor Stephens will arrive in Los Angeles on the morning of April 10, and will remain until the 27th. The statement is made from the office of the governor, that the development and growth of the southern portion of the state has occasioned the necessity of Governor Stephens devoting more time in Los Angeles than heretofore. The further announcement is made that Governor Stephens intends to divide his time almost equally between Sacramento and the southern portion of the state, maintaining his headquarters while in the south, in Los Angeles. CRUDE FOOD EXPORTS The department of commerce at Washington calls attention to the fact that crude foodstuffs exported in 1921 exceeded the export of manufactured foodstuffs and that "only five times has this occurred in the history of our trade, namely, in 1915, 1892, 1879, 1880 and 1881." The 1921 value of these exports was slightly over $682,000,000 while partly or wholly manufactured foodstuffs totaled nearly $670,000,000. The tendency for many years has been for an increasing amount of our food exports to go out manufactured. The department suggests that "the fact that Russia has not contributed to international trade in food is undoubtedly an important factor in this situation."
