STARTLING GROWTH OF LONG DISTANCE LINES Bell Telephone Toll Circuits With an Enormous Equipment Now Span Continent In no phase of telephone work have the developments been more startling than in extending the range of long distance calls. The first toll circuits were short and consisted of open wires connecting nearby cities. The operating methods were relatively simple and the operator answering the subscriber could herself make connection over the few toll circuits then existing. Today, however, a subscriber can talk across the continent and even to islands beyond the continent, as in the case of Cuba—by means of submarine cables, and Catalina—by means of wireless working from the mainland. In addition to thoosands of miles of open wire, there are hundreds of miles of cable either underground or aerial; there are loading coils to overcome the capacity of the cables; there are repeaters to supply new energy to the conversation on its long journey; there are submarine cables or wireless links to cross the rivers and the sea; and there are innumerable equipment devices at the many offices through which the calls must route. The wires stretch across deserts and over mountains where they are frequently the only indication of civilization. The slightest break in the 7000 miles of wire or in any of the many pieces of apparatus would prevent a transcontinental conversation. The work of operating a long distance call is also difficult and it is an enormous stride from the early days of short toll circuits over which two operators could complete a call to the present transcontinental connections, to handle each of which from ten to sixteen or more operators are needed atmosphere seemed to be cradled to an even, delicate calm, as though catering to osick or high-strung nerves that had to be spared all excitement. From the edge of the ranch in Hemet Lake valley the procession climbed slowly up the Herkey grade and over the divide to the vicinity of Keen Camp, where the cattle were turned into a small fenced pasture for the night. The men then rode back to their quarters, only four miles away. Early in the morning the march was resumed down the mountainside by way of the Dry creek auto switch-back, being somewhat hastened in this part, owing to the holding up of the usual traffic until the cattle arrived in the canyon below. Then the herd was urged on the last ten miles through the level San Jacinto valley to corrals at the railroad terminal. Fed during the night, the cattle were entrained in the morning, to arrive at their ghost pens in Anaheim the same day. Three of the men returned to the mountains in a few hours by automobile, while old Santana was left to bring up the horses at his own good leisure. Every fall two or three cattle drives are made from the Garner ranch in this way. The marketed cattle are generally two or three-year-olds, brought in from the desert ranges a year or two previously and fattened on the lush grasses of the mountains. But observing the condition of these animals at the time they are moved down, one would never guess that they had belonged to the half-starved herds of the desert. Handsomely filled out, joints and ribs concealed in smooth rounded waves of firm flesh, low in the brisket, thick-shouldered and carrying their heads somewhat down, they have the stocky, meaty appearance of beeves ripe for the packing houses. Moreover, they are attractively clean and glossy, displaying the health producing effect of their wholesome fare of meadow grasses and almonds. returns for the year receive a form, howthe taxpaper of his return and pay them before March 15th returns of net income may be obtained at ternal-revenue area.

CLEMENCEAU BRINGIN GFAT STEERS TO ANAHEIM MARKETS How the Cattle Are Handled From Range to Slaughter Pen A writer in a Sunday magazine gives the following account of witnessing the transfer of cattle from the San Jacinto mountain ranges to the packing house at Anaheim, where they are turned into juicy steaks and roasts to feed the hungry multitudes: One day last fall in approaching the Garner ranch, up in the beautiful pine belt of Mt. San Jacinto, I was greeted at the entrance to the valley by a young man on a horse, who loped up leisurely and requested me in a rather hushed manner to ride off to one side into the trees. "They're bringin' out a hundred head of cattle, and some 'em are a bit wildish," he explained. Shortly through the pines I saw w the herd coming, led by the old Indian vaquero of the ranch, Santana. There was no tumult or confusion, no sound, indeed, except the soft rumble of the many hoofs and the low bellowing of a few steers not altogether satisfied with the proceeding. Nor were there any hurrying or excitement. The herd came on slowly at a walk, moving as though by its own impulse in search of new browse. COME ON MINNESOTANS The Minnesotans are among the most loyal to the memory of the old home state and their picnic reunions are jolly affairs. The next will be at the time they are moved down, one would never guess that they had belonged to the half-starved herds of the desert. Handsomely filled out, joints and ribs concealed in smooth rounded waves of firm flesh, low in the brisket, thick-shouldered and carrying their heads somewhat down, they have the stocky, meaty appearance of beeves ripe for the packing houses. Moreover, they are attractively clean and glossy, displaying the health producing effect of their wholesome fare of meadow grasses, and clean, cold water, and of their happy sojourn in the uncrowded spaces beneath the pines in the rarified air of the mountains. FARM BUREAU OFFICERS J. A. Smiley, of West Orange, was announced to the members of the Orange county farm bureau as president of the bureau for this year by Edwin F. Whedon, secretary-manager of the bureau. Dr. J. R. Schofield, of Buena Park, was the retiring president. Other officers elected by the new board of directors included S. W. Stanley, of Tustin, vice-president; John Osterman, of El Toro, treasurer; Earl Campbell, of Orange, Orange county member of the board of directors of the state federation of farm bureaus; Dr. J. R. Schoield, of Buena Park, and W. L. York, of La Habra, members of the executive committee, which includes all officers elected. Whedon remains as secretary-treasurer. W. M. Belding and C. M. Hollingshead, were elected to represent the bureau to the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. Included on the new board of directors were P. H. Norton, Orange; Alvin Block, Costa Mesa; S. W. Stanley, Tustin; Frank Kirker, Fullerton; M. C. Chase, Cypress; C. M. Hollingshead, Anaheim; H. C. Upham, Villa Park; W. F. Crist, El Modena; James Srackenfast, Garden Grove; William Ritter, El Toro, and H. Horn, Buena Park. Chosen as diretcors-at-large were J. A. Smiley, Dr. J. R. Schofield, Dr. S. S. Twombly, William Belding, H. B. Woodrough and John Osterman. Standing committees were to be appointed by the president.

Shortly through the pines I sa w the herd coming, led by the old Indian vaquero of the ranch, Santana. There was no tumult or confusion, no sound, indeed, except the soft rumble of the many hoofs and the low bellowing of a few steers not altogether satisfied with the proceeding. Nor were there any hurrying or excitement. The herd came on slowly at a walk, moving as though by its own impulse in search of new browse. This was a fine exhibition of the "take 'em out quiet and easy-like" system. The herd was being taken down to the railroad terminal at San Jacinto, twenty-four miles away, by four men, experienced cow-punchers of the mountain range. Old Santana set a leisurely pace, his eyes meditatively, to the front, as though he ware drifting along hatching up memories of the early days when the squaws used to gather about Herkey creek to grind acorns in the old stone mortars. His manner suggested, on the other hand, that he had assumed the role of bell-cow at the request of the herd and was drowsily leading them where the majority were agreed they wanted to go. Riding on the flanks of the herd, carelessly encouraging it to keep to or near road, where Foreman Magee on one side and Charley Tickner on the other, the latter joining in the enterprise to vary the tenor of his occupation as keeper of the Hemet dam. Gently and unhurriedly, almost by accident as it were, these two managed always to be in the way of steers that ere inclined to angle out. Young Mr. Garner, the proprietor, quickly urged the herd on from behind. There were no whoops, no dare-devil lunges, no swinging of reafas or sizzling of quirts accompanied by strong language. On the contrary the J. A. Smiley, Dr. J. R. Schofield, Dr. S. S. Twombly, William Belding, H. B. Woodrough and John Osterman. Standing committees were to be appointed by the president. COME ON MINNESOTANS The Minnesotans are among the most loyal to the memory of the old home state and their picnic reunions are jolly affairs.. The next will be held in Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles, all day, Saturday, February 17. Remember the date. It is held the third Saturday of February of each year. There will be county registers and headquarters, silk souvenir badges, coffee and popular program of songs and addresses. Your picnic last year was a "hummer," biggest ever. Now beat it. Bring your basket dinners and enjoy a long happy day. Pass the word along to every Gopher you know. Talk, write, phone. You may ask questions of C. H. Parsons, 10261, secretary federation of state societies, Continental National Bank, 9th and Main. The indoor socials are held in Music Art hall, 223 S. Broadway, the first Friday evening of each month. All Gophers welcome. INCOME TAX FACTS Revenue officers are visiting every county in the United States to aid the taxpayers in the preparation of their income tax returns for the year 1922. Information concerning the date of their arrival and the location of their offices may be obtained by writing the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer lives. Forms for filing returns of individual net income for the year 1922 are being sent to taxpayers who filed re- ANAHEIM GAZETTE returns for the year 1921. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve the taxpaper of his obligation to file a return and pay the tax on time, on or before March 15, 1923. The forms, 1040A for filing returns of net income of $5000 and less and 1040 for filing returns of net income in excess of $5000, may be obtained from collectors of internal revenue and deputy collectors. Returns are required of every single person whose net income for 1922 was $1900 or more or whose gross income was $5000 or more and of every married person whose net income was $2,000 or more or whose wross income was $5000 or more. Careful study of the instructions on the forms ill greatly aid in making a correct return. THE VAWTER MEETINGS GROWING IN INTEREST Sunday was a great day for the series of special meetings being held in the tabernacle erected by the Christian church people of South Helena at Chestnut street. The meetings were held every evening last week, but the inclement weather kept the attendance down materially, but with the bright sunshine of Sunday, the crowds increased and the evangelist, Rev. C. L. R. Vawter, had an incentive to preach Christ, and his semons on Sunday were convincing and instructive, and many were turned away from their sins and headed toward Christ and salvation. A special feature of the meetings is the musical programs at each service. A chorus of about 100 voices is present each evening, and under the leadership of R. F. Brotherton, excellent work is being done. These meetings will continue for some time, and a cordial welcome is extended to everybody in this community to attend. CLEMENCEAU ON LINCOLN AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN POLITICS The question of American participation in European politics is thrust forward by events and by individuals who can shake off the obsession that it is America's duty to take charge of the European situation. Thousands of well-meaning Americans are sending letters and telegrams to Washington urging the government to "do something" in the Franco-German embroglio and in the near east, where Christian populations are in danger of Turkish cruelty. The senders of these demands are usually vague in their suggestions, leaving a wide margin of discretion for the government, ranging from polite inquiry to armed intervention. There is no consensus of opinion among these excited citizens which would guide the government in its relations with Europe. The most specific suggestions made thus far from two senators, one of whom proposes that the United States shall officially participate in the acts of the reparations commission, the other proposing that the United States should call a world economic conference for the purpose of extricating Europe. Senator Robinson's resolution regarding the reparations commission has drawn from Secretary Hughes some interesting information regarding the present policy of the government. Mr. Hughes shows that the unofficial observer representing the United States, Mr. Boyden, is gathering at small cost the information which the United States requires, and that he is under specific instructions to avoid committing this government to any reparations plan or to any discussion involving the United States in the matter of reparation claims. Inasmuch as the rights of American citizens and the interests of the na and intrigue. The European nations know that when they quit intrigue they can meet and seek peace together. Americans know it, also. It is for Europe to make the first move toward common action. SHOE EDUCATION Oakland's university high school devotes two weeks each year to teaching girls how to buy the kind and shape of shoes that are adapted to their individual needs. A part of this shoe education consists in making an impress of the foot in some plastic material. Then alongside of the imprint of the bare foot the girls make an impression of the shoes they are wearing. Follows a talk on shoe lines, length of vamp, arches, etc., with advice as to what sort of shoes to wear, not only for comfort. This sensible practical learning is a part of the physical education course. It is hoped they may have no trouble in convincing shoe clerks that they have the right idea about shoes. Indeed, shoe men should, and probably do, welcome this growing intelligence concerning shoes. Nothing women wear has shown more progress than shoes. The attention paid to having them of infinite variety both as to shape and style is one of the pronounced advances since the days when about the only things considered in buying shoes was length and width. Co-operation of buyer and clerk when the former is intelligent and the latter conscientious, should make this a happier world for feet. Rev. Loren Howe, of Pasadena, formerly pastor of the First Christian church, Anaheim, accompanied by his son, Robert, were in this city Sunday visiting relatives and attended the special meetings being held in the Christian church. CLEMENCEAU ON LINCOLN Georges Clemenceau, distinguished war premier of France, has been criticized sharply for some of his public utterances during his visit to the United States. But as he stood at the tomb of Abraham Lincoln and recently placed a wreath upon his sarcophagus, "The Tiger" uttered words that belied this title—eloquent, tender words. For this splendid eulogy Americans will feel damly and unfeignedly grateful to the eminent Frenchman. M. Clemenceau's words should be cherished. They are quoted herewith, with the suggestion that all who are preserving, in scrapbook or other writings to the great American, may give the ords of M. Clemenceau place. Quoting him: "Don't believe I came here to try to consecrate such a memory. I came in souvenir of the valiant men who fell on the fields of France in the same cause for which he was murdered, that we are going to try to go in the path of freedom he opened. Here I am, a private citizen. No more than any other who tried to do his duty, hoping to be not like Lincoln, but to be so near like him as I can. Let us say no more. Here before one of the greatest men that aver lived all my heart goes out to America and the great man she produced." THE TEACHING OF PATRIOTISM A famous French writer and humanitarian, Victor Hugo, has said: "Open a school and close a prison." There is a profound truth and a great ideal embodied in this short but significant sentence. Education is the torch bearer of civilization it illumines the dark places of the world where ignorance, vice and squalor exists side by side. Under its ameliorating influence it dispels evil and incultures good. It broadens the vision of humanity and makes for tolerance and better living. It is a moral and spiritualizing force. It is through enlightenment that government. Mr. Hughes shows that the unofficial observer representing the United States, Mr. Boyden, is gathering at small cost the information which the United States requires, and that he is under specific instructions to avoid committing this government to any reparations plan or to any discussion involving the United States in the matter of reparation claims. Inasmuch as the rights of American citizens and the interests of the nation seem to be looked after under the present arrangement, there is no visible reason for going further and making the United States a party to the reparations quarrel. As for Senator Borah's resolution concerning a orld economic conference, which he proposes to introduce after all, it seems to us that current events in Europe are sufficient to warn the United States against becoming sponsor for any plan for the adjustment of Europe's difficulties. If a world conference were called by the United States government, this government would become responsible for the success of the conference, and thus it would unavoidably find itself committed to some plan or other. Inasmuch as it had called the conference, the United States could not decently refuse to participate in a plan for Europe's salvation. Hence, after having committed itself to a plan and having fought it through adoption, the United States would then become partly responsible for the execution of the plan itself. In the beginning the plan might look very attractive, with all kinds of safeguards against entangling this country in European politics, but the entanglement would exist and would probably lead to regrettable consequences. At best, a successful world economic conference would involve the United States for years in European affairs. At worst, an unsuccessful conference would greatly injure the relations of the United States with European nations, and might even set on foot a series of mischiefs leading to estrangement, quarrels and war. The retort of the advocates of a conference is that "the United States is already involved in European affairs." That is a true statement, and it furnishes all the more reason why the country should beware of further complications. The United States is safely clear of the great entanglement that would have attended membership in the league of nations, and the coun- RUPTURE EXPERT HERE SEELEY, FAMOUS IN THIS SPECIALTY, CALLED TO SANTA ANA F. H. Seeley, of Chicago and Philadelphia, the noted truss expert, will personally be at the Rossmore Hotel, and will remain in Santa Ana Thursday, only. Feb. 15. Mr. Seeley says: "The Spermatic Shield will not only retain any case of rupture perfectly, but contracts the opening in ten days o'the average case. This result effected during the day—the repair continues of itself throughout the night during sleep while all strain is removed. Being a vast advancement over all former methods—exemplifying instantaneous effects immediately appreciable and withstanding any strain or position no matter the size or location. Large or difficult cases, or incisional ruptures (following operations) specially solicited. This instrument received the only award in England and in Spain, producing results without surgery, injections, medical treatments or prescriptions. Warning—All cases should be cautioned against the use of any elastic or web truss with understraps, as same rests where the lump is and not where the opening is, producing complications necessitating surgical operations.. Mr. Seeley has documents from the United States Government, Washington, D.C., for inspection. He will be glad to demonstrate, without charge or fit them if desired. Business demands prevent stopping at any other place in this section. P. S.—Every statement in this notice has been verified before the Federal and State Courts.—F. H. Seeley. Home Office, 117 N. Dearborn St., Chicago. 2-8-pd a school and close a prison." There is a profound truth and a great ideal embodied in this short but significant sentence. Education is the torch bearer of civilization it illumines the dark places of the world where ignorance, vice and squalor exists side by side. Under its ameliorating influence it dispels evil and incubates good. It broadens the vision of humanity and makes for tolerance and better living. It is a moral and spiritualizing force. It is through enlightenment that American institutions will be perpetuated. When men learn the truth about economic and social problems they will not so easily be led away by demagogues. A vitalized program of patriotism and civics, based not only on love of country, but on a common-sense understanding of our constitutional form of government and its benefits, would do much to eradicate the insidious doctrines preached by ultra-radicals. Patriotic societies can aid materially in this great work. In every possible way such organizations should uphold the free school system of the country—the great melting pot of the republic, in which the children of the foreign-born are fused into the citizenry of the nation. Respect for the flag, the rights and duties of citizenship, toleration of individual religious opinions, and education for service to humanity are the ideals to be stirred for in any such program of education. Our patriotic societies can do much constructive work in encouraging and aiding such organizations as Boy and Girl Scouts, community centers, and other associations having to do with the uplift and betterment of the people. It really isn't love so much as good stomachs and livers that make the world go round. The retort of the advocates of a conference is that "the United States is already involved in European affairs." That is a true statement, and it furnishes all the more reason why the country should beware of further complications. The United States is safely clear of the great entanglement that would have attended membership in the league of nations, and the country owes thanks to Senator Borah for the strong fight he made against foreign entanglements. But there are minor complications which have resulted from America's unavoidable participation in the war. These complications must be watched constantly in order to prevent them from drawing the government into unwise commitments. European governments do not hesitate to resort to all kinds of stratagems to draw the United States into participation in Europe's difficulties. Nothing would be easier than to yield to the blandishments of the European spokesmen who speak of the moral and material influence of the United States. The difficult thing is to guard the interests of the United States without becoming partly responsible for the interests of the other nations. When the nations of Europe prove that they have sufficient friendship and sanity to come together in counsel for mutual adjustment of their difficulties, and when after genuine cooperative effort they have failed to solve their problem, it will be time for the United States to consider the proposal to join them and share their troubles. While European nations refuse to take the first step toward common counsel, it would be useless for the United States to bring them together, for the gathering would be merely another forum for dissension... TAKING OUT THE KINKS An example of the way in which the treasury department is straightening the kinks of tax administration as practised by the Democratic officeholders is to be found in the fact that millions of dollars in back taxes are being collected, while it was necessary to include in the deficiency appropriation bill the sum of $25,000,000 to reimburse persons from whom the Democratic commissioner had illegally collected taxes. When the Democrats come to discuss these matters on the campaign stump they will make no mention of the collection of back taxes by Mr. Mellon, nor of the refund, but they will count the refund in as part of "Republican extravagance," ignoring the fact that it was necessitated by Democratic mal-administration.

NAME ADDRESS BOYS GO TO IONE With more than 13 fictitious checks in the possession of authorities, all of which were passed by three boys under 15 and 16 years old, further investigations are being made by officers. Virgil Gruwell, Walter Vancil and Grady Bayars are the lads, who have come to grief in the bad check operations on charges of issuing fictitious checks, forgery and kiting. All three of the lads were sentenced to othe state school of industry at Ione until they reach their majorities. Both Gruwell and Vancil have been in trouble before. Both of these lads have served time in the navy from which each received a dishonorable discharge, it is said, each having been arrested and returned to his ship after deserting. It has become the polity of the juvenile court to handle check cases with increasing severity in an attempt to show the seriousness of the offense and as a lesson to boys who are attempting to secure money by this serious crime. FAILING PROPAGANDA American business is on the firmest basis it has been since the war and any attempt to plunge the country into the world welter again will fail. When a man is advised to "take a change and rest," the doctor takes the change while the patient takes the rest. There are two kinds of men—those who think a dinner is a failure if they are not called upon to speak, and those who think it is a failure if they are.

Senator Borah says: "It will be very difficult to reduce freight rates, if we continue in country to increase taxes upon railroads as we have for the last few years."
