PERSIMMON GROWERS MEET AT FULLERTON First Annual Convention to Be Held Tomorrow The agricultural extension service and farm bureau are co-operating to make the first institute of persimmon growers at Fullerton tomorrow a comprehensive and practical program of addresses by authoritative speakers on the subject of persimmon growing. Orange county is becoming an important center for the development of this industry. Several commercial groves have already been started and a considerable acreage is being contemplated. Bearing groves are now located at Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana. Growers from all southern California will attend the institute. Many inquiries have come to the agricultural extension office for information on all phases of this industry. The program of the meeting will aim to cover the principal questions raised by the growers. The program, which will open at 1:15 sharp, will include the following addresses: 1. Symposium on Varieties— a. Commercial experience with persimmon varieties to date in California—Knowles Ryerson agricultural extension service, Los Angeles county. b. Behavior of persimmon introductions at government plant introduction garden, Chico—C. C. Thomas United States department of agriculture. 2. Some pertinent persimmon problems—Robert W. Hodgson, agricultural extension service, Los Angeles county. 3. Present status of persimmon marketing—Mr. Rivers. end domestic policies re asserted themselves, and the Republicans began to lay the ground work for their great victory In 1920, the benefits of which the people are now enjoying. Joint party government, which is the same as no party government, is never a healthful condition in times of peace. It is well for minorities to adjourn their differences when the country is menaced by a foreign foe, but the return to normalcp and solution of domestic problems can go forward best when there is vigorous discussion between two opposing schools of thought. The British are just recognizing a fact that Americans acted upon many months ago. JUDGE KERRIGAN EXPRESSSES THANKS Judge Frank H. Kerrigan, who was elected as a justice of the supreme court, writes The Gazette expressing his thanks for the publicity given him in the campaign. The letter follows: "Editor Gazette: I do not need to apprise you of the happy result of last Tuesday's election so far as it concerns me, and I desire to express to you my warm thanks and appreciation for the publicity of which I was from time to time the beneficiary, in your paper. I know it was your aim in offering any suggestions to your readers as to how they might with advantage cast their vote, ever to have in view the best interests of the state, so that the many endorsements I received from the press could not fail to afford me very deep satisfaction. I assure you of my gratitude for the publicity and support accorded me." GREAT AERIAL ACHIEVEMENTS Despite the retrenchments in exertion imposed by congress, the fore December 4th be "My Share in ways Safe." The safety department will give any teachers and pupils essays, and it is California will award honors as last year Newcomb, of San prize for this state club and learn an... HARBOR COMPANY FORMED The $100,000 Orange County Terminal and Navigation corporation actively began its life with the meeting of all those interested at James cafe Friday night. This corporation intends to handle all the manifold business of Newport Harbor. A lease offered by James Irvine of 30 acres of ground located on the county channel adjoining the 1500 feet deeded to Orange county will be taken over. With the acquisition of this property having a frontage of 1700 feet on the channel, the company will build a wharf immediately, it is planned. Plans are to be mapped out where by the new company may expand its operations to the utmost, accommodating an extensive amount of shipping from Orange county harbor. Far-reaching effects are expected. The fact that facilities to handle shipping are assured of construction may incline the United States government to give an appropriation for harbor work. The new project is being relentlessly pushed forward. There is every likelihood that shipping operations will be in full swing in an as tonishingly short time and that Newport Harbor will be the magnet for coast shipping business, those interested in the harbor believe. BRITAIN FOLLOWS SUIT The dissolution of the coalition government in England was practically a repetition of what took place in our own country three years ago. There was no formal amalgamation of political parties in the United States, but the Republican minority in con- GREAT AERIAL ACHIEVEMENTS Despite the retrenchments in expenditures imposed by congress, the United States army air service is second to none in point of efficiency and in its contributions to the art of flying. The speed records established by army aviators at the recent meeting at Dayton, Ohio, were a revelation to foreigners. In altitude and in length of time spent aloft army pilots also hold world records. In the bombing of battleships and in attack by torpedoes launched from airplanes, the army has entered fields of activity hardly touched by foreign air services. Gen. Mitchell, assistant chief of the army aviators, is now arranging for a round-the-world flight of a squadron of six American planes, and predicts that in the near future it will be possible to leave New York in the morning, take lunch and transact business in London, and return to this country before dark. Americans have reason to be proud of the courage energy and resourcefulness of the army airmen. NO CANCELLATION The annual convention of the Southern Commercial Congress in Chicago on November 20-22 heard a report from its American commission on international problems that act as barriers to trade and financial intercourse with the old world. The report is to be based on personal observations made by members of the commission in Europe. Its first conclusion is that "America cannot cancel the debts of the nations, but all nations must ultimately pay their obligations, with dignity and honor." "Moratorium" and "amortization" are the two words that, in the opinion of the commission, contain the solution of the ford financial problems. The debts must be spread over a long period of time, the interest reduced to a minimum, and a portion of each annual payment applied to reduction of the principal. ANOTHER CHANCE FOR BRITAIN FOLLOWS SUIT The dissolution of the coalition government in England was practically a repetition of what took place in our own country three years ago. There was no formal amalgamation of political parties in the United States, but the Republican minority in congress subordinated their differences with the Democrats and united with them toward the common object of winning the war. Controversies over domestic issues were suspended while all true Americans united in fighting a foreign foe. The effort to return to sound governmental policies was not abandoned—it was merely deferred in order that the attention of the nation might be centered upon the pressing problem of defending national rights against aggression. The Republicans were well aware that appropriations were being squandered, that programs for big ocean fleets were being bungled, and that in a score of ways the military efforts of the nation were being mismanaged. Yet they complied with every request of the Democratic administration for more funds, and soldiers, and munitions. The legislative branch of the government was practically a coalition of effort for a common purpose, although the executive failed to catch the spirit of congress and declined to seek advice from the Republican ranks. Instead of manifesting appreciation of the hearty support he had received from Republicans, President Wilson made a partisan plea for the election of Democrats after he had earnestly urged that politics be adjourned. The moment the fighting came to an nations must ultimately pay their obligations, with dignity and honor." "Moratorium" and "amortization" are the two words that, in the opinion of the commission, contain the solution of the ford financial problems. The debts must be spread over a long period of time, the interest reduced to a minimum, and a portion of each annual payment applied to reduction of the principal. ANOTHER CHANCE FOR KIDS TO WIN A PRIZE Here, kids, is another change to win a prize in a national safety essay contest. Get out your pens and let's go! Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California have received word from the highway education board at Washington that all pupils of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades who are fourteen years old or under are eligible to compete. The three national awards, any one of which may be won by a southern California pupil are: 1st—a gold watch plus a free trip to Washington; 2nd—a gold loving cup; 3rd—a silver loving cup. Cash awards and gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded as special state prizes for those who do not win the trip to Washington. Here are the rules of the contest: The essay must not be longer than 500 words. Contest closes December 4. Eac hessay must be illustrated by an original drawing, appropriate photograph or clipping from a magazine or newspaper. Essays must be written on one side of the paper only, and may be typewritten or in pen and ink. Each essay must bear the name, school and home address of the pupil in the upper left hand corner of the first page. Essays must be handed to the school principal or designated teacher be... ANAHEIM GAZETTE before December 4. The subject must be "My Share in Making the Highways Safe." The safety department of the auto club will give any necessary advice to teachers and pupils in preparing the essays, and it is hoped that southern California will again carry off the honors as last year, when Stanley Newcomb, of San Diego, won the prize for this state. Call at the auto club and learn any additional details. WHY TREES FAIL TO FRUIT One very common complaint coming from deciduous fruit growers is that their trees appear thrifty, blossom well, but fail to set as much fruit as they should. When full information is secured, it usually develops that the trees are planted in large blocks with no other variety near. Further investigation may show a scarcity of pollen carrying insects at work during the blossoming period. The causes of unfruitfulness can often be traced to self-sterility or to improper pollination. Self-sterility (barrenness) is common in almonds and many varieties of cherries, plums and pears. It is necessary to plant other varieties nearby which have proven desirable for pollination. To carry the pollen from tree to tree, it may be necessary to establish blossom visiting insects in the orchard. Many fruit growers are paying owners of honey bees a small rent or hire for each hive of bees placed in the orchard, during the blossoming season. The division of pomology of the University of California has been giving the subject of pollination a careful study for several years. Specialists on the subject are able to give the fruit growers of the state very valuable information that will help them in any old thing that brought home the beefsteak was "It." But that's all changed now. There was a subtle something about the vote that made for respect. Now women are in on all the mysteries of politics, and they have seen what a colossal bluff their husbands had been pulling for all these years. It's worse this year that at any previous time since the passage of the seventeenth amendment. It has got to the point where a man can't get up any more and orate a little about this broad country of ours, stretching as it does from the rock-bound coasts of Maine to the sun-kissed shores of California, from the pearly lakes of the northland to the waving palms that fringe the gulf, without a woman wants to know what was the primary vote in North Dakota, or whether the tariff on wool is higher now than it was in 1894. The first thing we know, this country's politics is going to have something to do with the practical affairs of its citizens, and then think of the terrible unemployment among the professional politicians. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CHINESE MARKETS Trade-with China offers opportunities that it is difficult to over-estimate. The population of the country is almost four times that of the United States, and as civilization spreads among the Chinese people their demands for goods such as we produce are going to grow byleaps and bounds. A big influence toward bringing China to a greater appreciation of American-made goods is the large number of young Chinese who are going to the United States in search of an education. The natural integrity of Chinese buyers has made business rela- Higher Freight Rates! In simple unmistakable language, decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission show that separation of Central Pacific from Southern Pacific lines would result in higher freight rates. The proposed separation of the interwoven lines would make necessary two-line hauls where freight is now handled directly by a one-line haul. The principle that two-line hauls necessitate higher freight rates is clearly set forth in the Piedra Rock Company case, decision No. 10619 of the California Railroad Commission, case No. 1645, decided June 23, 1922, wherein the commission cites a number of decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission. In this decision the California Railroad Commission says: "Railroad commissions generally, as well as the Interstate Commerce Commission, have recognized the principle that a two-line haul is entitled to a proportionately higher rate than a one-line haul. "In 33, I. C. C., 163, in the case of Meridian Ferilizer Factory vs. A. and S. Railway Co., an arbitrary of 2 cents per 100 pounds for a two-line haul over a one-line haul was established. In that opinion it was stated the commission has on various occasions recognized it is just and reasonable for two or more independent lines, not part of the same management or making up a thorough route, to charge a somewhat higher rate for a two-line haul than would be deemed reasonable for a single-line haul of equal distance. In 20, I. C. C., 264, being a rehab in the master of Sheridan vs. C. B. & Q. R. R. in the above en-titled proceeding, the commission concludes previous conclusion allowing a higher rate for a two-line haul than would be deemed reasonable for a single-line haul within AMERICA'S GOOD FAITH That every pledge which it made and every agreement into which it entered in the arms conference, is regarded and is being treated by the United States as being bona fide, is gratifying, but not surprising. Without awaiting ratification of the treaties by the senate, President Harding has ordered the discontinuance of all work on fortifications in Guam and the Philippines. Work will be stopped too; on all naval craft which are destined to be scrapped under the terms of the naval holiday treaty. The ultimate test of the quality and the value of these compact lies in the measure of good faith that shall be shown by the contracting nations in observing, in letter and in spirit, the pledges made. The United States ever scrupulously faithful in respect and abiding by all its international agreements, is taking the earliest opportunity, in the wake of the arms conference, to prove, by its work, that it is acting sincerely and without evasion of its pledges or equivocation with reference thereto. It is fair to assume that the other nations participating in the arms conference will do likewise. And if they do, the work of the conference will stand out in relief as the most effectual endeavor in behalf of peace which the world ever has known. AMERICA SELF-SUPPORTING The United States is more nearly a self-supporting nation, perhaps than any country on the face of the globe. Its productive capacity is practically limitless. The diversity of its productions is marvelous. From sub-tropics through the temperate zone, far up to establish blossom visiting insects in the orchard. Many fruit growers are paying owners of honey bees a small rent or hire for each hive of bees placed in the orchard, during the blossoming season. The division of pomology of the University of California has been giving the subject of pollination a careful study for several years. Specialists on the subject are able to give the fruit growers of the state very valuable information that will help them in future plantings. This information ing the week for deciduous fruits. Dein ghee for deciduous fruits. December 4 to 9, in the farmers' short course at the university farm. Davis British manufacturers are awaking to the importance of the Chinese markets, and are urging that no obstacle be placed in the way of young Chinese going to Great Britain and gaining practical experience with British methods and practices to take home with them. They are inclined of course, to recommend to their countrymen the machines and other products with which they have become familiar. It is in this respect that the United States already has an advantage that should be cultivated to the utmost. Our realions with China are of the friendliest, our country is more readily accessible to China than an yother highly civilized nation,and through the aid of the old boxer indemnity funds the education of Chinese nere has been greatly facilitated. To aid in the growth of our Chinese trade we must have transportation facilities. The need for an adequate merchant marine on the Pacific is no less than on the Atlantic; indeed, the future is likely to see the chief commercial routes of the world on the Pacific. Our greatest competitor there now is Japan, and unless we are willing to depend upon Japanese ships to carry American products, the pending merchant marine bill must be enacted into law. Ship subsidies are a settled policy of the Japanese government, and they must be met by similar aid in the United States if the competition of American ships is to succeed. We should cultivate the friendliest relations with China, but we should also make that friendship of substantial value by insuring means of commerce between the two countries. ENTER "EDUCATED JUROR" A new type of expert has developed in the large cities. He is known as the "educated juror." He sits through weeks and months of trials. In a case In 20, I.C.C. 264, being a rehired in the master of Sheridan vs. C.B. & Q.R.R. in the above entitled proceeding, the commission concludes previous conclusion allowing a higher rate for a two-line haul than would be deemed reasonable for a single-line haul of equal distance. In 30, I.C.C. 124, the commission says: "It is a well established practice that ton-mile earning properly may decrease as the length of the haul increases, and that ordinarily rates for a one-line haul may be lower than those for a movement over two or more lines." The commodity involved in this proceeding was brick. In 43, I.C.C. 632, the commission says: "Other things being equal, the rate for a two-line haul may properly be higher than the rate for a single-line haul." In 44, I.C.C. 669, the commission says: "Ordinary rates for a one-line haul should be lower than the rate over a three-line route." In 50, I.C.C. 43, Register Company vs. A.C.L.R.R.C.: "Somewhat higher rates for hauls over routes composed of two or more lines not under a common management and control are reasonable." The commission in this case cited immediately above prescribed mileage rates for one-line hauls and for two-line hauls and used this language: "For hauls over two or more lines of railway that are not used in the same management or control, 20 cents per ton may be added to these rates." The commodity in the foregoing proceeding was fertilizer. In 2, C.R.C. 241, in 1913, this commission refers to the content of carriers that "Where rates are to be raised over two connecting lines it is more expensive to the carriers in the aggregate than a single movement over one line between the same points." Finally, a two-line haul rate that is less than a combination of locals is obviously less remunerative to either participating company than a haul local to one line. The revenue must be divided and in all cases when such two-line haul revenue is split, one or the other or both of the lines must shrink their locals." AMERICA SELF-SUPPORTING The United States is more nearly a self-supporting nation, perhaps than any country on the face of the globe. Its productive capacity is practically limitless. The diversity of its productions is marvelous. From sub-tropics through the temperate zone, far up toward the frigid, this country's soil crops are widely diverse. In agriculture, in manufacturing, in mining in commerce, this country is well-night sufficient unto itself. If it were shut off wholly from the rest of the world it could subsist and provide itself with every necessary and most of the luxuries. Were it thrown wholly upon its own resources, the United States could devise ways and means to provide its people with all the necessaries and comforts of life, without importing anything from a foreign shore. THOSE BOTHERSOME WOMEN This thing of woman's rights is being carried entirely too far. In the old days, when a man could collect his two dollars, go to the ballot box and show up at home late on election night with a hoarse voice bulging eyes and a gait unsteady from the excitement of victory or defeat or something of the sort, women knew their places. They knew then that while they might be shown every consideration while they might throw away hubby's old brown derby when it was time for him to buy a new one, while they might even buy him cigars with impunity, there was after all just one sovereign in the house, and the braw- ENTER "EDUCATED JUROR" A new type of expert has developed in the large cities. He is known as the "educated juror." He sits through weeks and months of trials. In a case tried in Los Angeles recently, the defense attorneys took exception to the "educated juror" and have been upheld by the judge. A defense attorney insists that men and women who sit together upon juries from time to time are likely to develop cliques. He also points out that there is a possibility that they are inclined to become known to a prosecution either as "good" or "bad" jurors, according to whether they appear to have a proclivity toward convictions or dismissals. It is quite evident that a professional juror is not the best type of person for a fair and unbiased trial. If he likes his job, he will not be inclined to incur the displeasure of a district attorney's office for the simple reason that he would be most-likely to be excused when he appears for another trial. The "educated" or professional juror wouldn't be so much out of place in civil cases for the reason that he would be developed in his ability to understand the technicalities of the courts and because there would be a changing group of attorneys involved. It wouldn't be one office and group of deputies against the field. When a man gets his automobile "all tired out" his pocketbook is likely to be the same way. FERD HEYING'S HENS MAKING GOOD RECORD Winning Prizes in Competition With Leghorns at Pomona The second annual southern California farm bureau egg laying contest at Pomona opened October 1, 1922, with forty-seven entries in competition. Single Comb White Leghorns, Anconas, Single and Rose Comb Rhode Island Reds, Barred Plymouth Rocks and Light Brahmas are represented in the contest. The birds of the heavy varieties are being kept by themselves and a separate feed record will be kept for them. The average number of eggs per bird for all birds in each entry will determine the position of that entry in the contest for any calendar month and the sum of the monthly records will determine the record tot date. Unidentified eggs will be divided equally among all entries in the contest. The average number of eggs per bird for any entry for any month will be determined by dividing the total number of eggs laid by the birds in that entry (plus their proportion of unidentified eggs) by the average number of birds in the entry for the same month. No bird will be counted out of an entry unless it dies. The birds are fed a scratch grain in a straw litter twice a day, one-third NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Notice is hereby given that the city taxes on all personal property secured by real estate, and on all real property in the City of Anaheim, will be due and payable on the third Monday in October, 1922, and will be delinquent on the first Monday in December, next thereafter, at 6 o'clock P.M.
