COUNTY LEGIONAIRES ARE PROBING NEGLECT Members of the American Legion of Orange county are making plans to investigate the conditions of veterans in southern California, following reports made at a meeting of the Orange county council at Orange, indicating that many suffering veterans were not receiving proper attention. Orange county veterans were declared to have complained that when they went to the headquarters of the rehabilitation board in Los Angeles for physical examination or medical treatment, they frequently were told after waiting all day—that they could not receive the needed attention and to come back the following day. Such men respond always to a date set for their appearance by the physicians in charge, according to Maurice Enderle, former commander of the council. It was pointed out that this caused unnecessary loss of time and expense to those who seek relief from the physicians. It was said that if a post commander went to the office with a member of his post and stated who he was, immediate attention was given. Reports were made that veterans in the state institution at Norwalk were not receiving the attention from Legionnaires that they should receive. Arrangements for an investigation were accordingly made. The complaint did not involve the management of the institution nor the treatment received, but merely apparent neglect of veterans to look after little wants of the afflicted men. Clyde Whitney, secretary of Santa Ana Post No. 131, American Legion, said that Orange county posts, through Los Angeles posts, were looking after the men at Norwalk. Franklin ("Brick") Grouard, commander of Santa Ana post, and other Lang, traveling agent of the Southern Pacific, will travel by special train as the second section of the Sunset Limited, and will go by way of El Paso, San Antonio and New Orleans, to Jacksonville and Tampa. Among those who will make the trip from Orange county are Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Campbell, Mr and Mrs Lucien C. Flippen, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Hill, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Crist, Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Hemphill, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Fay, R. S. Anderson and a number of others. A. Wardman of Whittier, and other Los Angeles county growers and packing house executives will make the trip. Arrangements of the tour are in the hands of Edward A Street of the California Citrograph. Several days are to be devoted to tours through the Florida groves and packing houses at the height of the shipping season. Florida, in the past four years, has virtually trebled its production of citrus fruits, oranges and grapefruit. Its crop this year is roughly estimated at fifteen million boxes, about equally divided between oranges and grapefruit. California's crop this season will be about the same. It is freely predicted in Florida that within a few years its production of oranges will exceed that of California. FRANCE MAKES A MISTAKE When Alsace and Lorraine were added to Germany in 1871, the seed was sown for another war between France and Germany. And when the blue clad troops of France moved into the Ruhr valley recently, they were scattering seed that will in all proba- bility be harvested in another war. What Europe needs today is peace, forebearance, mutual consideration and co-operation.

Franklin ("Brick") Grouard, commander of Santa Ana post, and other members of the organization, will make an investigation of conditinos at Camp Kearney to ascertain whether veterans there are in need of anything that will add to their comfort outside of what is supplied by the government. Major E. J. Marks, commander of the county council, announced that Seth Millings, state commander of the American Legion, would visit Orange county next month. The February meeting of the council will be held on a date that will be convenient to the state commander. It is expected also to make the meeting open to all the members of the seven posts in the county. 8000 KILLED BY AUTOS Approximately 8000 persons were killed in automobile accidents in 1922 in fourteen states where statistics on such fatalities are kept, or estimated by responsible organizations according to figures gathered by the United Press. While definite figures were not available from the remaining states unofficial estimates described the fatalities as heavy, and indicated that the casualties strike a fairly even average, population considered. On the basis of the generally accepted estimate that 23 persons are injured for every one killed by automobiles, the number hurt in the United States in 1922 is estimated at six figures. The "traffic evil" in the year just ended broke all former records with this startling casualty toll. Large population centers, where congestion adds to the menace of the reckless or drunken driver, led the list. Fully 90 per cent of the accidents, traffic experts estimated, were of the "preventable" sort. Care and caution by someone could have averted them. and saved the lives of the victims. A dozen state legislatures, hundreds of state, county and city officials and criminal court judges are considering When Alsace and Lorraine were added to Germany in 1871, the seed was sown for another war between France and Germany. And when the blue clad troops of France moved into the Ruhr valley recently, they were scattering seed that will in all probability be harvested in another war. What Europe needs today is peace, forebearance, mutual consideration and co-operation. The latest move of France is inspired by fear and hatred, is enforced by stern military measures and is destructive to any permanent basis of peace. Perhaps Germany is not so nearly broke as her representatives claim; perhaps she could pay a larger sum in reparations than sheaps she can meet; and perhaps she ought to pay faster than she is. Those questions, however, should be settled by a fair tribunal and not decided by one power alone, according to its own views of what is just. France has been advised against its present course by its two powerful allies—Great Britain and the United States—and should have heeded the friendly advice of those two friends. Germany should pay for the ravages wrought in France during the unprovoked and wicked world war; but in the long run, it will be best for all concerned if she is forced to pay only a sum that is economically possible for her to pay on terms that can be met. The Brfitish and American experts who have studied the situation agree that the present program of reparations is impossible. France, therefore, may find that from the standpoint of dollars and cents, she would be better off to make concessions and adopt a policy of conciliation. There is sympathy for France in the present crisis among the people of the United States who know what she has suffered as who realize the threat of future German aggression under which she lives. But what she is doing now will increase the peril of future attacks and retaliations and put in hazard the peace of Europe and the world. America gave a sigh of relief when our soldiers at Coblenz were ordered home. The valley of the Rhine is no place for Americas doughboys in this crisis. It is hard to tell what complications will arise and what conflagration of war be lighted. America is not a party to the controversies between France and Germany; and now that no attention has been paid to our friendly advice, it is a good time readying. In addition, every sign picture of an ever-breaking forest service tracted as little beauty of the scenery there to guide them needed direction, ger and to enlist prevention. Yet ourous and pleasing.

A dozen state legislatures, hundreds of state, county and city officials and criminal court judges are considering means to curb the menace, many of them prescribing jail and prison sentences as well as moral penalties for speeders and careless drivers. Next to New York, the largest toll among the states was taken in Pennsylvania, where 1100 were killed. Illinois and California ranked third in the number of dead reported. In each auto accident took a toll of approximately 1000 killed. Fatalities in other states included: Oregon, 410; Wisconsin, 190; Nebraska, 108; Oklahoma, 234; Georgia, 116; Michigan, 403; Massachusetts, 522; Maryland, 223; Ohio, 800. FRUIT GROWERS WILL VISIT FLORIDA In a spirit of courtesy and reciprocity Florida citrus growers who visited southern California last June, have invited California growers and packing house executives to visit them next month. Responding to this cordial invitation, more than two score of the state's leading growers, including a number from Orange county, have made reservations for a tour of the southern citrus belt. Arrangements have been made for the party to leave Los Angeles, February 1, over the Southern Pacific. The growers, according to F. A. ANAHEIM GAZETTE NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE UNDER EXECUTION In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California. George Tadema, Plaintiff vs. L. Hemmerling, Louise Hemmerling and C. E. Hemmerling, Defendants. Under and by virtue of an execution issued out of the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, wherein George Tadema is the Plaintiff, and L. Hemmerling, Louise Hemmerling and C. E. Hemmerling are the Defendants, upon a judgment rendered the 29th day of December, 1922, for the sum of seven hundred ten and 36-100 ($710.36) Dollars, besides costs and interest; and that the sum of $726.81, with interest from the 29th day of December, 1922, is now (at the date of this writ) actually due on said judgment. I have this day levied upon all the right, title, claim and interest of said defendants (or either of them) in and to the following described real estate: Situate in the County of Orange, State of California, and more particularly described as follows, to-wit: Lots twenty-nine (29) and thirty (30) in Block ten (10) of the "Townsite of Stanton," as shown on a Map recorded in Book 8, page 11 of Miscellaneous Maps, records of Orange County, California.

In addition to the neat lettering, every sign bore the diminutive picture of an evergreen tree, symbol of the forest service. Those signs detracted as little as possible from the beauty of the scenery. They were there to guide the passer by when he needed direction, to warn him of danger and to enlist his interest in fire prevention. Yet they were harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Is cheer any reason why necessary road signs outside of national forests should be less neat, unobtrusive and attractive. LOANS TO FARMERS SET NEW HIGH MARKS Loans to the farmers from government and private sources have reached the highest sum on record during the past year, it was indicated in figures issued by Commissioner Charles E. Lobbell, of the federal farm loan bureau. The loans through the bureau to farmers during the year are slightly in excess of $200,000,000, while the joint stock of the land banks, operated with private capital have made additional loans to farming interests of $215,000,000. Of the five-year period that the farm loan bureau system has been in existence, a total of 321,000 loans, aggregating $680,000,000, have been made, the commissioner said. ANTIDOTE FOR POISON FOUND BY RATS Rodent poison, carefully prepared on a strychnine formula by inspectors in the office of the county horticultural commission may be effective for gophers and ground squirrels, but rats in the lath house of George Benedict, gardener at the court house, have found an antidote. Some time ago Mr. Benedict observed rats in the nursery back of the jail where his seed beds are located. A double handful of grain, especially prepared to produce eternal rest for the rodents, was placed in a most enticing location. Gladly the rat family consumed the prescribed rations, so generously provided. Each grain was carefully husked and eaten on the spot. Only a small heap of husks was found in the morning to show where the death dealing grain had been. But all was not well with the rat Forty Thousand Ahead of Last Year, urated with strychnine and even a rat The South 10 acres of the West one-half (W 1-2) of the North-west quarter (N W 1-4) of the southwest quarter (S W 1-4); and the north 5 acres of the West one-half (W 1-2) of the South-west quarter (S W 1-4) of the South-west quarter (S W 1-4) of Section thirteen (13), Township Four (4) South Range Eleven (11) West S.

Attorneys for Plaintiff. 1-4.25 Gladly the rat family consumed the prescribed rations, so generously provided. Each grain was carefully husked and eaten on the spot. Only a small heap of husks was found in the morning to show where the death-dealing grain had been. But all was not well with the rat Forty Thousand Ahead of Last Year, urated with strychnine and even a rat that lives next door to the county jail cannot consume strychnine with impunity so an antidote was sought. Several dozen beautiful cineraria plants, carefully potted for prize blooms expected in the spring, provided the needed antidote and the rat family started in, eating the greenery to appease the gnawing agony in their votals. After consuming the greater portion of the plants the agonies of strychnine poisoning were apparently appeased and the rat family emerged from the attempt at race suicide none the worse for their experience but decidedly more wary. IT BROKE HIS FALL Mose Lightfoot, one of the best hod carriers on the job, lost his footing and fell to the street, four stories below. Mose lit on his head, struck the cement pavement and went through to the basement. When the foreman went to the basement, expecting to find Mose cold and stiff, he met Mose coming up the steps. "Great Scott, man, aren't you killed?" he cried. "No," Mose replied, dusting off his clothes. "I guess dat concrete pavement musta broke mah fall!" DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CAR Few days are too cold for comfortable driving in this sturdy car. Snug-fitting curtains, which open and close with the doors, afford complete protection from wind and snow. The carburetor and starter are famous for their prompt and dependable response on cold mornings. Cord tires, with safety treads, act as a safeguard against skidding, and greatly reduce the possibility of having to change tires in disagreeable weather. CHAS. H.
