It is being accepted as a new and forward-looking move in the marketing of automobiles. That it will benefit millions of families and have a most salutary effect upon the auto buying public goes almost without saying, as it places something of a new light upon motor car ownership where in the purchaser is able to avail himself of this modern necessity. "For some time past Ford dealers have been selling cars and trucks upon what is known as the deferred payment plan in which the purchaser makes a substantial initial payment, secures his car and completes the payment for it in regular installments," says George Dunton, local Ford dealer. "This has been and will continue to be of immense benefit to numerous auto buyers whose means do not permit the full outlay for a car at the purchase time, but who can easily make the required regular payments."

"This has been and will continue to be of immense benefit to numerous auto buyers whose means do not permit the full outlay for a car at the purchase time, but who can easily make the required regular payments. 'Now comes the Ford weekly purchase plan which will make it possible for additional millions to own and operate motor cars, as under the terms of the plan as little as $5.00 start anyone toward the ownership of a Ford car, Ford truck or Fordson tractor. This initial payment, as well as all subsequent payments, will be deposited to the customer's credit in a local bank and draw interest at the regular savings rate. "It extends to the whole family an opportunity to participate in the car purchase by permitting each member to contribute a small amount weekly to the plan with the wholesome effect of inculcating thrift and also demonstrating the benefits to be received from regular and consistent accumulation of funds to spend for things desired. "The price reduction of Ford cars and trucks which went into effect last October, bringing them to the lowest level in the history of the Ford Motor company, opened a market of unusual proportions and with the inauguration of the Ford weekly purchase plan this market now becomes even more comprehensive," concludes Mr. Dunton. BOY SCOUT NEWS Two monthly courts of honor are scheduled to be held this week, both on Friday night. One is to be held in Orange under the direction of Leon O. Whitsell, chairman, in the intermediate school at 7:30 p.m. It is expected that a large number of scouts will be up for advancement at this court of honor. The other is to be held at Yorba Linda at 7:30 p.m., under the direction of Major E. J. Marks, chairman. It is expected that this well be one of the most successful district courts of honor yet held in that district, because the Masonic lodge, which is sponsoring troop No. 1 of Yorba Linda is acting as hosts to the court of honor and will turn their regular meeting over to the district court of honor. Deputy Commissioner W. H. Webb, of District No. 4 made a formal inspection school netx Monday evening at 8 p.m., at which time they will have as their guest, Charles N. Miller, regional scout executive, representing the national council, Boy Scouts of America. About one hundred persons are expected to be in attendance at this affair. A splendid program of music and fun has been arranged by the committee in charge. NORMAL HAY CROP Agriculturists will welcome the news that in the opinion of Albert E. Nicholls, president of the Nicholls-Loomis Co., despite a long dry season, the recent heavy rains practically assure a normal crop of hay in southern California and contiguous territory. Mr. Nicholls, who is an acknowledged authority on hay and grain production, is also convinced that there will be a good alfalfa crop as well as an increased demand for alfalfa this spring. Advice states that the regular quarterly dividend checks have just been sent out to more than two hundred shareholders of the Nicholls-Loomis company. Gross sales for the month of March are said to be in excess of $200,000, which represents a gain of $30,000 over the preceding month—a new record in the successful career of this enterprise which has been in operation for more than a quarter of a century. PROBLEM OF CITIZENSHIP The shortcomings of public officials, and the failure of our system of government to function as it should is due entirely to the fact that the people themselves—the citizens who are voters, or could qualify as such—refuse to do their duty. Speaking some weeks ago before a convention Senator Pepper discussed practical and theoretical citizenship. "When you are thinking of reforms," he said, among other things, bear in mind the importance of distinguishing between that which may be evil on one side of the dividing line, but a benefit on the other; and, last of all, the practical difficulty in the way of making any change if a minority prefer to keep things as they are. "I am stressing this point because Yorba Linda at 7:30 p.m., under the direction of Major E. J. Marks, chairman. It is expected that this well be one of the most successful district courts of honor yet held in that district, because the Masonic lodge, which is sponsoring troop No. 1 of Yorba Linda is acting as hosts to the court of honor and will turn their regular meeting over to the district court of honor. Deputy Commissioner W. P. Webb, of district No. 4, made a formal inspection of Anaheim troop No. 1 Monday evening at 7:30. Webb is to inspect on Wednesday evening at 4:30 Anaheim No. 2, which is located in St. Catherine's school at Anaheim, and on Friday evening, April 20, he will inspect Anaheim No. 3. Fred L. Doepke, deputy commissioner of district No. 2, is scheduled to make a formal inspection of Santa Ana troop No. 3, which is under the direction of the Masonic lodge of Santa Ana, and Santa Ana No. 9, which is under the sponsorship of the Elks club of Santa Ana. These troops are to be inspected to determine if they are eligible to enter a higher class. All of the troops in the county have been placed in class C, and in order for a troop to get into class B, it is necessary for them to have a large number of boys in uniform and show signs of intense activity. Class A presents an almost perfect troop. Newport Beach No. 1 aspires to be a class A troop, and Deputy Commissioner Fred L. Doepke inspected them recently to determine if they were eligible to enter that class. Mr. Doepke has not yet announced the result of his inspection. Scout leaders of the entire county, their friends and families are anxiously looking forward to an informal party to be held in the Tustin union high Speaking some weeks ago before a convention Senator Pepper discussed practical and theoretical citizenship. "When you are thinking of reforms," he said, among other things, bear in mind the importance of distinguishing between that which may be evil on one side of the dividing line, but a benefit on the other; and, last of all, the practical difficulty in the way of making any change if a minority prefer to keep things as they are. "I am stressing this point because the topic that you have assigned to me requires me to discuss the chasm between a citizenship that is purely theoretical and a citizenship that is intensely practical. There is a chasm there; we all know it. It is the gap that separates talk from work, that separates the social club from the party primary. Two life insurance presidents are sitting in easy chairs at the club and the yare engaged in bemoaning the degeneracy of the senate. The problem is to lift them out of their chairs and take them to the party primary. That is the problem." FIGHTING THE GOPHERS Gophers, according to Harold E. Wahlberg, cause the fruit growers of Orange county more actual loss than any other animal pest. In order to afford the ranchers of the county every possible assistance in exterminating these pests, the farm advisor this week was arranging a series of gopher demonstrations. "These demonstrations," said Wahlberg, "will be held in different sections of the county, April 19, 20 and 21. With the agricultural extension service and the horticultural commission-co-operating, methods of control and treatment of gopher-injured trees..." will be demonstrated. "The pocket gopher, which causes annual losses estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars, eats all varieties of fruit tree roots, farm crops, shrubs, bulbs and pasture grasses. "To fight gophers successfully, one most consider habits. Of the two methods, trapping and poisoning, we have found the poisoning method far cheaper and much more effective. "The young are born early in the spring and in numbers ranging from four to twelve to a litter, so that the winter campaign gives the best results, even if conducted under difficulties. It is also easier to locate runways in orchards before plowing, and during a season like the present when food is scarce, they will take bach much more readily than later when food is abundant. "Gophers are general feeders and will take almost any tree root, grass, grain or garden crops. They are particularly fond of sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, potatoes. This food they store in caches near their nest, which is generally slightly elevated. "Gophers either carry their food in a fur-lined pocket or drag or roll it along the runway. The bait is therefore placed in the runways in oblong pieces which are too small to roll or drag, and just too large to be carried in the pouch, so that the gopher will eat off one end before carrying to the nest and enough poison will be taken to kill." CHAUTAUQUA LOCATION Anaheim 1923 chautauqua committee met Tuesday evening and decided to have the big tent erected on the site of the old auto comp ground on West Cypress street, near Lemon, beginning May 6 to 12.

All traffic is being allowed to drive over the pavement between San Juan Capistrano and the Orange-San Diego county line with a few short by-passes where actual placing of asphalt surface is in progress, says a bulletin of the California highway commission. ANOTHER WILSON FABLE "Thus the war comes to an end," President Wilson told congress in November, 1918, anticipating the event for years and years. "Money makes the mare go," but automobiles make the money go.
