TANGELO VALUABLE For a number of years the United States department of agriculture has been testing a large number of cresses between different varieties of citrus fruits, one of these crosses (between the tangerine orange and the grapefruit) producing a new type of fruit, which has been named the Tangelo. As a class, these fruits resemble round oranges more than either of their parents, and are exceedingly variable. Two well-recognized varieties of these fruits have been thoroughly tested, and for a number of years past have been distributed to co-operators for further trial. These tangelos are called the Sampson and the Thornton. They have been grown in a small way only, and, until recently chiefly for home use. Failure to appreciate their proper stage of maturity has served to disappoint many who have experimented with this new type of fruit. When eaten before fully ripe the fruit is disappointing, the flavor being disagreeably acid. It colors up early and externally appears mature long before it is really ready for consumption. The Sampson tangelo is, under normal conditions, a decidedly late fruit maturing in Florida about the time of the Tardiff orange, through March April and May. It is a slightly pear-shaped, thin-skinned, smooth and shiny fruit, of variable size, though usually larger than an average orange pale orange in color, with a rather acid sprightly flavored, aromatic, soft and juicy, deep orange-colored pulp. It properly grown and picked when fully mature, it is a delicious fruit. It is liable, however, to dry out on one side before fully ripening, a fault assumed to be due to sun scald. This tendency will probably preclude its culture on an extensive scale except by experts for a special market. The Thornton variety is considera THE MAKER OF STYLES Paul Poiret, of Paris, France, appears to be the man who determines what women shall wear, presumably in collaboration with the other men who have cloth to sell. His edict is that skirts shall come down to the ankle, which means a lot of new money to those who make cloth and a corresponding loss to the producers of silk stockings. It is the result, not of "taste" but of the outcome of such commercial warfare which determines what women shall wear. M. Poiret, now on a visit to this country, expects some objection to the entanglement of long skirts, but says it will amount to nothing, for in the end the women will submit. "As for me," says the man dressmaker, "I do not listen. It is not necessary to pay much attention to what women say." And if that does not cause an uprising among the down-trodden women, and a few inches more off the skirts, we shall doubt whether, after all, our ladies—God bless them—will ever as has seemed probable, take full control of the destinies of the race. BASEBALL IN FRANCE Interesting news comes from Le-Belle, France. Baseball is being introduced into the schools of that country. It promises to become the national sport. Popularity of the game over there may be attributed to American soldiers, who, during the late unpleasantness, indulged in this exciting sport behind the firing-line, while they were waiting to be sent into action. The French must have looked on with envious admiration. To see American boys, wrought up over an ampire's decisions, wildly gesticulating and making threatening demonstrations must have appealed to the Gallic mind as being quite home-like in its offer. ually larger than an average orange pale orange in color, with a rather acid sprightly flavored, aromatic, soft and juicy, deep orange-colored pulp. If properly grown and picked when fully mature, it is a delicious fruit. It is liable, however, to dry out on one side before fully ripening, a fault assumed to be due to sun scald. This tendency will probably preclude its culture on an extensive scale except by experts for a special market. The Thornton variety is considerably earlier, the time of ripening, however, seeming to vary in different sections, though it usually is not mature before January or February. Some trees, however, have lately come to notice, the fruit of which is distinctly early, ripening in November and December. This tangelo is of a very different type—rather rough, thick skinned fruit of good size, with light or very pale orange-colored juice and sprightly flavored pulp. It has little acidity and resembles a tender good flavored orange more than a grapefruit or tangerine. When fully ripe it is so tender that extra care may be necessary in packing it for shipment. In this regard and in its rather free mind it resembles the tangerine. It may be eaten out of hand, like a tangerine, but is doubtless better when halved and eaten like a grapefruit. It requires no sugar, and the pulp is so tender it can be removed with a spoon without cutting the segments; moreover, there is little or no tendency for the juice to squirt when the spoon is inserted in the segment. While the Thornton fruit is not as attractive in appearance as the Sampson, it is mild or in flavor and by some is preferred on this account. The success of these first two hybrids, using the tangerine and grapefruit as parents, has led to the creation of hundreds of additional hybrids between all the Mandarin types of oranges, including several varieties of tangerines, the King and Satsuma oranges, and the better types of grapefruit and pummelo. Among the tangelos resulting from such crosses are some of much promise, but further testing is necessary before any of these can be recommended for general planting. AGAINST THE WATER AND POWER ACT Following the lead of the California Development association and acting upon its recommendation, many civic organizations affiliated with it Popularity of the game over there may be attributed to American soldiers, who, during the late unpleasantness, indulged in this exciting sport behind the firing-line, while they were waiting to be sent into action. The French must have looked on with envious admiration. To see American boys, wrought up over an ampire's decisions, wildly gesticulating and making threatening demonstrations must have appealed to the Gallic mind as being quite home-like in its offer rescuing emotionalism. Should baseball become common sport in France, American tourists traveling in that country will have keen delight in watching the game as the French would play it. There should be thrills in abundance as protesting players, with all the emotional fervor of Frenchmen, wildly wave hands and contort faces, and challenge the ampire and each other to mortal combat on field of honor. It would require the humor-genius of a Mark Twain to do justice to a description of scenes like that. More modern matches are made in haste than in heaven. FO Prices Again Effective List Prices F. O.

Copies of these resolutions together with plans for an organized defensive campaign against the amendment are being daily received at the headquarters of the association. The Vallejo Chamber of Commerce, among those so reporting declares the act would involve a dangerous increase in taxes, and promote a financial tangle like that brought upon North Dakota by the Non-Partisan League. The Livingston Board of Trade has expressed itself similarly in a resolution. From the Santa Clara valley comes organized opposition as voiced by the San Jose Chamber of Commerce Lassen county through its Chamber of Commerce, having a membership of more than eight hundred, urges the defeat of the measure as protection against inevitable business stagnation. Sebastopol, Red Bluff and Pittsburg have likewise taken a defensive stand against the matter. The Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce terms it as "vicious and dangerous." Sebastopol predicts the act would "retard the development of water resources." The Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce believes the measure "unsound, unnecessary and dangerous." Almstead Company Selling Lindsay's Stock F. N. ALMSTEAD, ADJUSTER Mr. Almstead has just arrived from Pasadena, where he caused the greatest buying wave ever known in the shoe business of that city. In placing on sale the shoe stock of Fernaw & Nattson, this stock has been turned over to him for quick disposal and the only way to clean a stock up in a hurry is to put prices so low that people must buy to protect their future. BE DECENT TO INDIANS In view of our robbery and worse of the American aborigines this country is in no position to criticize what any foreign country has done to the people of any other country. We have robbed them of their land and very nearly exterminated the people. Having got about all that we wanted, we are duly repenting and in a modest way doing some works meet for repentance. It appears that in the days of the early gold rush we wanted some lands occupied by Indians, for which we agreed to give, them other lands which we said we owned. The treatey was duly signed and the Indians promptly gave up the lands as they had agreed to. The treaties, however, were taken to Washington and promptly buried in the "archives," apparently never having been sent to the senate. Recently they have been discovered and now the remnants of the defrauded tribe ask permission to sue for compensation alleged to be due in the court of claims. And thus far they have not been allowed even to do that. But they are still struggling. They should be given that permission at once, and at the same time making sure that nothing more than fair compensation should be allowed to their attorneys. F. N. ALMSTEAD, ADJUSTER Mr. Almstead has just arrived from Pasadena, where he caused the greatest buying wave ever known in the shoe business of that city. In placing on sale the shoe stock of Fernaw & Nelson, of Pasadena, he caused crowds to come that forced the police of that city to close the doors time after time as the store was packed from front to rear with insistent shoe buyers. Two years ago Mr. Almstead put the shoe stock of Handlemn on sale here in Anaheim and those that were fortunate enough to share in that bargain feast will be pleased to know that another shoe massacre will take place at Lindsay's shoe store, at 107 South Clem entine street. Mr. Almstead states that this stock has been turned over to him for quick disposal and the only way to clean a stock up in a hurry is to put prices so low that people must buy to protect their future wants. Mr. Almstead has created a method of selling shoes that is as successful as it is simple. Just put the price down to wholesale cost or less and people will buy. Last week's police controlled crowds at Pasadena proved this method. It will be proven again in Anaheim this week. Mr. Almstead is a red-headed cyclone in selling shoes and you will not regret stocking up at the price murder he is staging at Lindsay's shoe store. $1.50 A YEAR for the GAZETTE FORD is Again Reduced Effective October 17 Prices F.

My dull insistent pain Was like the heavy dropping of the rain And I, too hopeless to rebel or fight. But when at last the lights of morning broke Through mist and cloud, and day appeared once more, To something wider than my cares I woke, And field and forest a new meaning bore! Since lives, which purchase sight with sorrow's wage, Discover beauty as their heritage! A RAY OF SUNSHINE We have our troubles, but we would have worse ones if we had entered the league of nations and were therefore mixed up in the European mess. MAGIC My house was merely small and brown. No house more modest in the town Before you came. Its honeysuckle covered porch And narrow windows where The friendly hollyhocks looked in As I sat reading there Let me hear all the secrets gay The tittering poplar leaves gave way. But there was naught of special grace In such an undistinguished place Until you came And called my habitation fair. And in its quiet found Rest from the cares that prodded you When cities hedged you round, You liked my flowers, my house, my trees, And multiplied their power to please By giving them kinship with you In all my thoughts and memories too. I'm glad you came. For now my modest home of brown Is quite the finest house in town. Nothing saddens an older person like seeing two young people marry who, he thinks, are bound to make a failure, and few things irritate him so much as to find out later that they haven't. A "live wire" ought to be dead game. ARE YOU FREE ARE YOU FREE To Choose Your Own Doctor?
