SOME AUTO OWNERS JOIN WRONG CLUB Southern California Association Wants You to Be Sure You're Right Scores of motorists are making complaint that they have been solicited to join an "automobile club" under the impression that they were affiliating with the Automobile Club of Southern California when in reality they come to find out they have joined another and less important organization. In order to protect the motoring public from advances of solicitors who secure members to other organizations under the impression that they are joining the large southern California club, this organization has just issued a warning to automobile owners to examine all receipts given by mysterious or casual solicitors. In some instances where motorists have questioned such receipts saying, "This doesn't look like the Automobile Club of Southern California," the solicitor has said: "Well, we are all the same anyway, as we all belong to the parent organization." Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California wish to be clearly understood that the organization is affiliated in no way with other clubs, although it does exchange all courtesies with certain other organizations who are known to be in good standing throughout the United States. Do not join blindly any "automobile club" without knowing just exactly what club you are joining, is the terse warning just issued. This applies to garages, hotels and other similar business enterprises who are solicited for official membership.

When the housewife in Missouri opens the can, she empties it out and adds er own sugar, boiling it three minutes and putting it in her own glasses. Note that she furnishes the sugar. The trouble before was we were selling too much stuff that we had to buy. "The biggest results to be expected from the bi-products industry are not direct profits from such, but as a stabilizer of the market. With 40,000 cars of Valencias, it will be necessary to cull a great deal closer than at present. When you have 20 horses for sale and market only 15, it's the five who fix the price. When we can divert the surplus 'standard' fruit into bi-products we can come a great deal nearer controlling the price." FREEING OF EDUCATION An educational experiment which, on its face, looks extremely promising, is being undertaken by the alumni association of the University, with the co-operation of the university. The association has provided a scholarship under which young men and women of special talents may attend the university without passing the regular entrance examinations, and without taking any regular course so laid down by ythe university program.

B. Pilch, deputy clerk that arrangements had been made to send deputy collectors to the principal towns in southern California to interpret any part of the regulations not properly understood. No fee will be charged, he announced, and taxpayers are urged to avail themselves of the service. The following itinerary was received here: Santa Ana—February 8 to March 15, city hall. Orange—February 8-9, and February 23-24, city hall. Anaheim—February 10-12 and 15-16, and February 26-28, and March 6-7 and 10-12, city hall.

Carr was appointed special investigator for the district attorney by District Attorney A. P. Nelson, in accordance with the action taken by the supervisors in their session authorizing the employing of such an officer. Frank Stewart, Santa Ana city motorcycle officer, was appointed to the county motorcycle force to take the place made vacant by the appointment of Carr to the new position. Stewart has had four and one-half years experience as a motorcycle officer in Santa Ana and is well known throughout the county. No new chief was appointed to the motorcycle squad by the district attorney who stated that they would be directed through his office, and that Carr probably would supervise their activities in connection with his new association has provided a scholarship under which young men and women of special talents may attend the university without passing the regular entrance examinations, and without taking any regular course so laid down by ythe university program. In other words, a young man or woman whose special interest and ability is literary, for instance, or in some special branch of science, but who has for any reason been unable to get the required number of high school credits in other subjects, will be able, under this scholarship, to reside at the university and pursue the studies which most interest him, and those alone. The scholarship will be administered by a faculty committee, whose business it will be to see that the student makes progress in his chosen line, and as long as he does so, he will be in no way interfered with. This is true education, and is significant of that broader policy which may within a few years, find expression in many other colleges. In the grammar schools, perhaps in the high schools also, a rather rigid curriculum is no doubt necessary in order that students shall learn anything at all. But students of college age are supposed to know more about what they actually need to learn, and the most serious defect in our university system has long been that it makes scanty provision for those who really do know. There are many young people of exceptional intelligence who now prefer laboriously digging out all education for themselves to being stuffed with a heterogeneous collection of information for which they have no special use, and which their minds are not naturally fitted to assimilate. To such as these, the University of Wisconsin plan offers great hope. And to the educational world as a whole it offers hops also, as a conspicuous step toward the elimination of the cut and dried from institutions which are intended to be fountains of culture and spiritual impulses. PROMOTERS OF JUSTICE If President Harding achieved no other success during his incumbency of the presidency, his leadership in bringing about the righting of the wrong imposed upon China by Japan would entitle him to go down in history as one of the great benefactors. "The education by Gov. Richards at the sincerity of it represents when liberate effort takes on tensions of the state cation that train mon school. Elimination is woefully extravagant. To make this a c-clive budget for the cation is woefully extravagant." For the first time California, a state failed to demand propriations over or blennium.

PLANNING POTATO TESTS For the purpose of assisting farmers of Orange county in the growing of better potatoes a special series of potato test plots will be established within the next week, according to Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg. The plots will be conducted as a result of co-operation agreements of George Cole of Buena Park; E. E. Miles, Stanton; A. Steve Page, of Garden Grove, and H. B. Clemons, of Garden Grove. Demonstration meetings and potato growers' tour will be held just prior to the harvest season, to give county growers an opportunity to see results. Through an arrangement with the Certified Seed Potato Growers' association, sufficient certified seed has been secured to plant five different fer fat 1:2 to 1 per cent, and 43 per cent of the cows from 1 to 2 per cent. The remainder had continued stationary. "One of the biggest problems we had with dairymen was the axiom that butterfat cannot be fed to a cow." PROMOTERS OF JUSTICE If President Harding achieved no other success during his incumbency of the presidency, his leadership in bringing about the righting of the wrong imposed upon China by Japan would entitle him to go down in history as one of the great benefactors. His calling the Washington conference accomplished that end and removed a cause of contention which would certainly have resulted in the utmost bad feeling until some future war had wrested from Japan the former Chinese province of Shantung. Shantung comprises an area of 56,000 square miles in which reside some 28,000,000 Chinese. Not only that, but we are informed that Shantung is known as the cradle of Chinese civilization. Confucius and Menclius were born here, and here is the sacred mountain of Taik-Shan. Not primarily because of long possession and unquestioned title, nor because of Chinese population, but because of its associations with the Chinese religion, China would never have ceased her efforts to regain Shantung. On the filmsiest sort of pretext Germany acquired concessions in Shantung in 1897, which gave her practical control through her economic dominance. Upon declaring war against Germany in 1914, Japan seized the German rights and possessions in Shantung, and proceeded upon the theory that she had acquired practically an indefeasible title and right of complete control. This right was disputed by China with a vehement that foretold an endless controversy. It was apparent to all students of the situation that the almost countless mil- It's a fortunate day when every person chooses their mate." ANAHEIM GAZETTE RICHARDSON'S BUDGET With the submission to the legislature of a biennial budget calling for a total appropriation of $78,974,628.58, Gov. Richardson has fulfilled his pre-election economy pledge to the people of California. His budget recommendations provide for a net reduction of $12,025,371.45 under the biennial expenditures approved by Gov. Stephens two years ago. The estimated revenue of the state for biennium is $80,037,000, affording a surplus unappropriated by the governor's budget of $1,062,371, and making unnecessary and additional taxation by the present legislature. Should the legislature, however, vote appropriations over the governor's veto in excess of $1,062,371, an ad valorem, or direct property tax, will be necessary to most additional expenditure. The first gust of the storm that Gov. Richardson has repeatedly said he expected the budget to raise was produced by Will C. Wood, superintendent Mr. Wood gave out a prepared statement, which follows in part: "The educational budget presented by Gov. Richardson is a gruesome jest at the sincerity of campaign pledges. It represents what is evidently a de-irritated one with a talent for drawing suddenly seeing himself at the head of a long line of ungallant youths, his efforts at satire the forerunner of all the ugly comics that ever made a maiden blush or a matron lose her temper. But it might have made the sweet-souled youth a bit smug when he enclosed his undying affection in gilt and lace and wrapped it in a sweet scented fern, to look down the years ahead of him at the truck loads, the car loads, the factories built to produce tokens of an instinct no less beautiful because it frequently is evanscent. When President Harding called the Washington conference on limitation of armaments he displaced farseeing statesmanship by mentioning among the subjects for discussion the settling of controversies on the Pacific which carried threats of future wars. Large-ly through the tactfulness of President Harding and Secretary Hughes the representatives of China and Japan were induced to continue discussion of the subject when at frequent times it seemed so though a final break must come. The ultimate result was that Japan agreed to yield and has yielded the rights she claimed in Shan-tung upon the payment of a reasonable amount representing the value of the German railroad she had seized. It may be fairly said that having become convinced of the error of her claim, Japan acknowledged that error frankly and fulfilled her promise of withdrawal in letter and spirit. Japan can stand before the world with a clear conscience; China has the satisfaction of seeing a wrong righted; the Chinese people are free from the constant irritation that would be felt by alien possession of her most sacred shrines." The first gust of the storm that Gov. Richardson has repeatedly said he expected the budget to raise, was produced by Will C. Wood, superintendent Mr. Wood gave out a prepared statement, which follows in part: "The educational budget presented by Gov. Richardson is a gruesome jest at the sincerity of campaign pledges. It represents what is evidently a deliberate effort to starve the institutions of the state department of education that train teachers for the common school. Either the governor's budget for the department of education is woefully inefficient or hopelessly extravagant. I welcome a chance to make this a clear-cut issue. "The budget practically wrecks the department of education of this state, which is recognized throughout the nation as one og the most progressive, efficient and economical." For the first time in the history of California, a state administration has failed to demand an increase in appropriations over the preceding year or biennium. The biennial increase from 1919 to 1921 was approximately $39,000,000, and the increase over the six-year period former Gov. Stephens was chief executive of the state, from 1915 to 1921, approximated $56,000,000. And hence, as Gov. Richardson explained in his straight-to-the-point message to the legislature, the budget for 1923 and 1924 not only represents a reduction of more than $12,000,000 under the total appropriations of 1921, but, inhalting the former rate of increase in expenditures, represents a further saving of approximately $70,000,000. "which might have been piled on the people, had the orgy of political extravagance continued." KNOWN AS THE DAY OF HEARTS AND LACE "For this was on seynt Valentines day. Whan every bird cometh ther, to chose his mate."—Chaucer. The old notion was that birds began to choose their mates in February. Then Marcus Aurelius Flavius Claudius had a bishop of the church put to death on 14 February, seventen hundred and fifty-two years ago. The bishop became a martyr and a saint and because his name was Valentinus, February 14 became his day, St. Valentine's day. SAY ITALY CONTEMPLATES TURNING BACK UTILITIES According to recent reports the new Italian government, in its effort to solve the problem of the national budget, contemplates turning back to private operation all state monopolies, including the railroads, the parcel post and the telephone and telegraph service. The reason is that, under state management, the public utilities have been operating at a loss of many millions of lira annually. GUARANTEE NOTHING! You could write all this column, and ten columns more about the suggestion that the United States fix the amount Germany must pay. No one would read it. It is enough to tell what the idea is: To make us fix an amount and then guarantee it. We should express our good wishes, advising our brother white nations to set a good example to yellow races by not robbing or killing each other too fiercely—and we should stop there. WOOD FAILS TO APPEAR; $1500 BOND FORFEITED Ball bond amounting to $1500 given by J. K. Wood for his appearance in department one of the superior court upon the return of the opinion of the district appellate court on the appeal of the case, was declared forfeited Friday by Superior Judge Z. B. West because of the failure of Wood to appear as scheduled. The rimittitur of the appellate court was returned January 25 and an effort was made to notify Wood at once, but he could not be found. He was convicted in the Orange county superior court several months ago on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses for the sale of desert land in a mythical Aqueduct City to Anaheim women. Since his conviction on the charge he has been at liberty on $1500 bail. With the return of the appellate court decision affirming the judgment of the Orange county superior court, Wood has not been located. He was scheduled to appear before Judge West for the pronouncement of judgment on the verdict of guilty to the charge on which he was convicted. U. S. POSTOFFICE ACTIVITIES The postoffice department operates the largest express company in the world. Last year it transported more than 2,000,000,000 parcels. The next largest express company during the same period transported only 400,000,000 parcels. It is also the largest savings bank in the world. At present it has approximately 402,000 depositors who carry over $134,000,000 in deposits. The old notion was that birds began to choose their mates in February. Then Marcus Aurelius Flavius Claudius had a bishop of the church put to death on 14 February, seventen hundred and fifty-two years ago. The bishop became a martyr and a saint and because his name was Valentinus. February 14 became his day, St. Valentine's day. It is easy to find some satirical significance in the superposition on the calendar of these days, the bishop's and the bird's. It takes something of the courage of a Christian martyr to publicly choose a mate. They used to draw lots on St. Valentine's eve, the young men and the young women gathered together, making merry. And it is safe to suppose that when a young man was not pleased with his lot, he made sarcastic remarks, until it occurred to him to transfer his bitterness into drawings which exaggerated the crossed eyes or the straight hair or the ugly expression of the unloved one. Having vented his own wrath, he could then show it to her, thus spoiling the evening for both of them, but possibly satisfying the "grouch" that at some seasons afflict even lovers. It's a fortunate thing that the people who start customs which are to last until the planet cools, have no notion of what they are starting. Fancy poor old Valentine's dismay as he ascended to the stake, if he had realized that his name would be taken in vain by every young man making amorous advances to a young woman along in the early spring—"I am your valentine," not knowing that what he was really saying was, "I am your martyr." And those Chaucerian boys and girls meeting to choose Valentines—fancy the FROM KITCHENS' TO THE KITCHEN No. 1 Store, 161 W. Center. Phone 284 No. 2 Store, 308 W. Center.
