P. Mitchell, county school superintendent, says reviewing factors in the school system that apply particularly to Orange county. Teacherages, he explained, are the houses provided for teachers in isolated districts where proper accommodation cannot be found. Several of these teacherages exist in Orange county, among them one at Trabuco and another at Olinda. But trouble arose because these teacherages were built with school funds and the attorney general interpreted the law to say that school funds could be used for school buildings only, therefore it was illegal to spend school money on teacherages. The country schools of Orange county feel the decision, which was made last summer, more keenly than town schools in more thinly populated areas, according to Mitchell. He said: "To obtain teachers for our country schools has been a difficult matter. The school department cannot expect a teacher to accept a school if living accommodations are lacking in the district. If we cannot have teacherages, we may soon be without teachers in those particular spots. The proposed measure is to provide for financing the discussion will be held later by C. C. Teague Limoneira ranch; Secretary of the agriculture committee, and Fragerager of the California association.

H. Peelor came before the board and requested that the open cement ditch on Placentia avenue be raised so that water can be properly measured to him. Upon motion by Miller, seconded by Tuffree, the superintendent was instructed to raise the ditch.

This will be a history making convention for California agriculture and as this county plays a very active part and holds a prominent position in the state as an agricultural unit, our interests should be well represented. One of the most vital topics that will be brought before the convention is that of transportation. The fruit interests will place squarely before the shipping interests of this state, their problems regarding the transportation of perishable fruits and the car shortage situation. There will be a full discussion of plant quarantine matters which vitally effect fruit growers of California. Lee Strong, chief of the bureau of quarantine, will place before the fruit interests the need of his department and the present situation regarding the danger of importation of injurious insect and plant diseases which if introduced would jeopardize if not destroy the fruit growing industry. In addition to Mr. Strong's talk there will be further discussion of this topic by James Mills, of Hamilton City; C.C. Teague, president of the California Fruit Growers' exchange, and president of the Walnut Growers' association; C.D.Hamilton, chairman of the board of supervisors of Riverside county, and Charles Bentley, of the California Packing corporation, and S.W.Cunningham, secretary of the Southern California Canners' league. These men have been for a long time associated with quarantine work and understand well the needs to adequately protect California's interests.

Plan your business now so that you can attend these meeting and be ready to take part in all of the discussions. SHIPPING WALNUTS BY PARCEL POST Postmaster Gives Instructions How to Pack Them Christmas sees many sacks of walnuts sent from the Anaheim postoffice to the east, and to insure their delivery, postmasters have issued the following instructions: "The name and address must be painted either on the sack or written on a strong tag sewed flat to the sack. Many tags that are tied on the end, come off, and consequently the walnuts never reach their destination." Postmasters in their instructions on Christmas mailing also advise against the use of undersized envelopes or cards. They are difficult to handle, they say, and hard to run through the canning machines, and make hand stamping new ones, all of which takes up valuable time and delays the mail. In no case should cards and envelopes be smaller than 2 3-4x4 inches and that a size considered larger is preferable. Merchants and others also are advised as to the rural mail routes now in effect. The local rate on parcel post is five cents per first round and one half cents per second association, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, in the order named, lead all theother eastern states in the consumption of walnuts. New York consumes approximately 6,500,000 pounds a year. Pennsylvania eats 4,000,000 pounds, and Ohio uses 3,500,000 pounds. All three states consume about the same amount per capita and in that connection it was stated that there is not a state in the union which consumes as much as a pound of walnuth per capita during the year. This, Thorpe thinks, is a strong indication that the country is not likely to suffer from an over-production of walnuts. He finds that as the public becomes more generally informed as to the food value of walnuts it uses more of them, but that there is still opportunity for a vast increase in per capita consumption, since the people of the three great nut eating states in the east are, on the average, still eating less than forty walnuths per capita annually. There is more warmth and energy in a walnut than in the same quantity of any other food in general use. Man has been eating nuts since time began; and he consumes more of them in the winter because they help keep him warm, even as a dish of ice cream on a July day helps him cool. Walnuth now being used the year round, however, in cary quantities, because of their great well-defined food value. "The food chemist has long given to the various nuts a prominent place among concentrated foods," said the Literary Digest recently, quoting from the Journal of the American Medical Association. "From an analytical standpoint they may even serve such recognized valuable foods as nuts, eggs and cereals." Although nuts and products One of these guidebooks, the third of the series, by C. P. Ross, has just been published. It describes desert watering places in the lower Gila region, Arizona, including approximately the triangular area between Phoenix, Yuma and Parker. It contains three large maps of the region, shaded to indicate the relief and showing the location of the roads, the wells, springs, and other watering places, and the signposts erected by the geological survey. The maps are the most complete and accurate yet published for this region. The relief shading brings out strongly the larger features of the topography and makes the maps readily understandable even by those who have no technical training. The paper contains detailed logs of the roads in the region, including not only those of the principal automobile routes, but those of branch roads that lead to remote parts of the desert, which are seldom visited and little known. These logs show in heavy type the points at which water can be obtained. There is also a list of watering places, with brief information as to their location and availability. The introductory part of the guidebook contains detailed information regarding difficulties encountered in traveling through the desert and suggestions for surmounting them. Anyone who intends to travel in this region should consult one of these guide books. Copies of this publication, which is numbered water-supply paper 490-c and entitled "Routes to desert watering places in the lower Gila region, Arizona," have been sent to the post offices, the chambers of commerce and the principal hotels and garages in the region and can be consulted at many of these places. THE ANGLO-JAP ALLIANCE They are intended to maintain the say, and hard to run through the can-celling machines, and make hand stamping new money, all of which takes up valuable time and delays the mail. In no case should cards and envelopes be smaller than 2-3-4x4 inches and that a size substantial larger is preferable. Merchants and others also are advised as to the rural mail routes now in effect. The local rate on parcel post is five cents for the first pound and one half cent thereafter, with a limit of 70 pounds. Why do not the city and rural population get in closer touch with each other, through the parcel post. The farmer can send in his order by mail or phone one day and have his parcel b ythe next morning. This is worth investigating by our merchants and the public in general. Practically all mail on these routes are delivered by 1 o'clock each day. CONSOLIDATION DESIRABLE Four of the biggest railroads of the northwest are considering a merger of their properties that will form a single great regional transportation system of almost 50,000 miles. When the plan is perfected it will be submitted to the interstate commerce commission for approval before it becomes effective. The proposed merger is in line with the intention of the transportation act of 1920, the authors of which recognized the benefits to the shipping public that would follow such a change. If all the roads of the country were to be similarly consolidated into regional groups the cost of transportation would be cut to a minimum and efficiency increased to a maximum. FARMERS' 18-HOUR DAY President Harding is right in saying that it would be a calamity for farmers to enter into a concerted movement for the restriction of crops in order to get better prices. The calamity would fall chiefly on city dwellers. Because of the number and wide distribution and diversity of interest of the farmers, it is not at all likely that any concerted movement of the kind mentioned can be inaugurated, unless it be through the adoption of the city workers' plan of an eight-hour day. Whenever the farmer adopts the working schedule of the city worker, there will be automatic round, however, in vary quantities, because of their great well-defined food value. "The food chemist has long given to the various nuts a prominent place among concentrated foods," said the Literary Digest recently, quoting from the Journal of the American Medical association. "From an analytical standpoint they may even surge much recognized valuable foods as meats, eggs and cereals. Although nuts and products made from them have been used by many the world over as adjuncts to his usual diet, they have only lately obtained a larger recognition. "Experiments conducted by Cajori at Vale emphasizes how that nuts are valuable foods. If they are eaten properly as eggs, meat and other foods rich in protein are eaten, they behave quite well in this body as do the ordinary staple articles of food. But nuts have something more than mere digestibility to recommend them. Their protein is of a superior quality." THE KU KLUX OF NEW YORK Mayor Hyland, of New York, probably is not held in high esteem the country over, but his attitude towards the Ku Klux will win wide approval. He has instructed his police to suppress them as they would any other law-breakers. It is a singular circumstance that the organization there should be represented by a minister. This man declares that the Ku Klux will make New York its stronghold. In the order of the mayor, and the defiance of the minister, there is the challenge to war, and the acceptance. If any minister believes that by espousing this menacing and meddling some thing, he can lift it to the level at which he himself ought to stand. He is mistaken. He is handling pitch and he will be defiled. He will sink to the level of the rabble. The United States has a government to the sustaining of which all may contribute. They who fight in the dark, by cowardly assault, by intimidation through threats, far from sustaining the government, might consult one of these guide books. Copies of this publication, which is numbered water-supply paper 490-c and entitled "Routes to desert watering places in the lower Gila region, Arizona," have been sent to the post offices, the chambers of commerce and the principal hotels and garages in the region and can be consulted at many of these places. THE ANGLO-JAP ALLIANCE The Anglo-Jap alliance has just been renewed for another year. The news brings a shock to all who rejoiced last winter in the passing of that alliance, as a by-product of the Washington arms conference. Its end was regarded, by many competent judges, as the biggest accomplishment of the conference, because it removed an unnatural bond between Japan and Asia and brought together in a free and friendly working agreement, the two great English-speaking powers. There is need, however, to accuse either Britain or Japan of treachery. The renewal of the alliance comes about automatically, for the simple reason that France, at the moment of its expiration, has not yet ratified the Washington four-power Pacific treaty. The four-power treaty itself provided for such a contingency. Japan, after loser in the new arrangement, was not asked to give up her claim on British loyalty until all four powers had ratified. It is reported now from Paris that the French government, after long hesitation, is disposed to ratify this treaty, along with the naval limitation past. Under the circumstances, France would certainly gain nothing in American esteem by further delay. DANCE PAVILION AT THE COUNTY PARK Plans and specifications for a dance pavilion at Orange county park, to be erected at a construction cost of not more than $30,000 are to be drawn up by Frank K. Benchley, Fullerton architect according to a motion of the board of supervisors. The plans are only tentative at the present time, however, and are not to be accepted or adopted until there is sufficient money in the building fund to provide for the construction. This fact was specified in the motion passed by the supervisors. NEW YORK LEADS IN CONSUMPTION OF WALNUTS Are human beings oil burners? Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the California Walnut Growers' association, thinks so. He declares, in a statement, that in proportion of the amount of heat it requires, the human body burns oil quite as well as the most improved type of furnace. Moreover, he declares, human beings are switching over to oil as bodily fuel in about the same proportion that industrial plants are discarding coal and other bulky fuels to use oil. Science has demonstrated the fact, he says, that a greater measure of health and efficiency is possible where the coal and wood of the average dinner table, which clog the blood stream with toxic waste matter, are discarded in favor of oil. He bases his conclusions on the fact that the greatest quantity of oil foods, such as nuts and olives, are consumed during the cold months, and that the states which enjoy what is termed the good old-fashioned winter, are the heaviest buyers of California walnuts. According to estimates which have just been made by the traffic department of the California Walnut Grow, MAKING THE DESERT SAFER To those who have never been on a desert, the word "desert" conveys the impression of a barren waste incapable of supporting life, a perilous stretch of waterless, lifeless land that separate areas of fertile land on either side of it. The word "desert", however, may have diverse meanings, for some deserts are much more hospitable than others. Travel through any wide area of desert is nevertheless fraught with danger, for in such areas springs, wells and water holes are few and far between, and our American deserts have, year after year, taken their toll of human life. The recent work of the United States geological survey in mapping certain desert areas in the southwest and in erecting at suitable places signposts giving directions and distances to springs and water holes is therefore of special interest. In 1917 the geological survey, under authority contained in an act of congress making a small special appropriation, erected signposts in the most dangerous parts of our southwestern deserts, giving directions and distances from watering place to watering place. The result of this life-giving work of the geological survey are being published in a series of guidebooks. pavilion at Orange county park, to be erected at a construction cost of not more than $30,000 are to be drawn up by Frank K. Benchley, Fullerton architect according to a motion of the board of supervisors. The plans are only tentative at the present time, however, and are not to be accepted or adopted until there is sufficient money in the building fund to provide for the construction. This fact was specified in the motion passed by the supervisors. The contract for the construction of the hall of records was expected to be signed officially. The county is moving the sheriff's office building and with the completion of this work, the contractor will start operations at once. According to a representative of Frank Hudson, Los Angeles contractor, who is to construct the building, the work will be started tomorrow if all is in readiness.

The size of the envelope made little difference in the days when stamps were cancelled by hand. Now, however, the envelopes are fed through canceling machines which handle them with lightning rapidity. The machines are constructed to handle any ordinary size of envelope, but the envelopes of Christmas card size won't feed through. The makers of envelopes should keep in mind the requirements of speed in handling the mail. The public should refuse to buy the small envelopes. In addition to that, the postal laws should be amended to require additionla postage on letters or cards either too large or too small to be handled in the ordinary way. People who insist upon having a special service from the government should be willing to pay for it.
