FREE MOTION PICTURES This County to Be Favored With Farm Bureau Entertainments. It has just been reported by the local organization of the farm bureau that they have been successful in obtaining several showings in Orange county of farm bureau motion pictures. The display of these pictures has been continuous over the state ever since the showing of them last year at the state fair as the fair exhibit of the state organization of the farm bureau. Since that date more than two hundred showings of them have been made in practically every locality of the state, gaining prominence because of the unique method in which this gigantic organization is explaining to the public at large, the good work being accomplished by organized methods in agriculture. Instead of these pictures being displayed with the usual tediousness that sometimes accompany educational pictures, they are arranged in interesting story form, each subject being complete of itself. The educational portion of the entertainment is then nicely balanced up by showing an excellent Paramount feature as the entertainment part of the program. The feature story that will be given in this country will be one in which Theodore Roberts, Wallace Reid and Agnes Ayres assume the prominent characters, entitled "Too Much Speed," bringing out the disastrous results of the present prevailing speed mania of automobile drivers. Theodore Roberts takes the part of old Pat MacMurran, the ultra conservative automobile manufacturer, who through sad experiences, has learned that "safety first" is the best policy. Wallace Reid assumes the sole of comprehensive publication on the timber situation in the United States ever put out by the department of agriculture, states: "Although Canada still possesses a vast soft wood forest area, much is in the Arctic region and will be of doubtful availability for export trade. The more accessible forests are rapidly being developed to their capacity for the needs of the British empire. The greater part of the Alaskan forests are better adapted to pulp wood than to lumber. "In Europe the few countries still having large coniferous forests cannot supply the needs of the rest of the European nations. The area formerly embraced in Austria-Hungary was over-cutting its forests prior to the war in order to export about 322 million cubic feet a year. To maintain their exports at the former amounts these countries will have to limit their own consumption to very low levels or seriously deplete their forests. They will probably do both for the next decade o rtwo in order to rehabilitate their economic status, with the result that eventually domestic needs will absorb all that their forests can produce. "Scandinavia has but a small surplus of structural timber. Her exports consist mainly of pulp wood and pulp. Finland and Russia are therefore the only countries in Europe which can be counted on as important sources of structural timber to meet the large needs of their nearby neighbors. "Siberia, with her billion acres of forest fully developed, could export large quantities of timber. The forests of Siberia, however, are still undeveloped and a great part of them lie, like those of Canada, within the Arctic and interior regions and may never be available for a large export trade. The forests lying close to the Pacific ocean are partly surrounded by nations which will be the first bidders of the same population an improved r "The detailed study of the improvement has but if we take type east, middle west that the roads on them will give a Maryland not more of the population ten miles from a f Indiana less than zona, where the total 334,000, perhaps outside the ten-mile."

Since the above have been approved." en in this country will be one in which Theodore Roberts, Wallace Reid and Agnes Ayres assume the prominent characters, entitled "Too Much Speed," bringing out the disastrous results of the present prevailing speed mania of automobile drivers. Theodore Roberts takes the part of old Pat MacMurran, the ultra conservative automobile manufacturer, who through sad experiences, has learned that "safety first" is the best policy. Wallace Reid assumes the sole of "Dusty" Rhoades, the dare-devil race fanatic, always wanting to go faster, and the friction of these two extreme elements bring out the educational features of the play. Agnes Ayres as the daughter of old Pat MacMurran is to marry "Dusty" providing his dare-devil dangerous life is abandoned, but which continually shows forth throughout the story. The climax of the play is reached at the Beverly Hills race course near Hollywood when "Dusty" Rhoades makes a spectacular finish in the 250 miles world’s championship race at the tune of 104 miles per hour, in old Pat MacMurran's "No. 4," the original racing car that really did accomplish this feat. The excitement and thrills displayed throughout the story, combined with the comical situations rendered in depicting them, keep the audience entertained throughout, besides putting home a good lesson long to be remembered. In addition to the main feature several reels of state-wide news items are showr, including scenes at the recent annual picnic of the state agricultural college at Davis, the parade of floats, prize-winning stock, etc., as it passed the reviewing stand. These are interesting because some of the finest bred stock in the United States, owned by the state and quartered there, were in line. The entertainments are free to the public and it is stated that those that attend will be thoroughly entertained. The showing will be given in the auditorium of the high school and the pictures will begin promptly at eight o'clock. MUST DEPEND ON OUR OWN FORESTS Any idea that the United States can depend upon the forests of other countries to supply its timber needs after its own forests have been mined out must be abandoned, declares for- counted on as important sources of structural timber to meet the large needs of their nearby neighbors. "Siberia, with her billion acres of forest fully developed, could export large quantities of timber. The forests of Siberia, however, are still undeveloped and a great part of them lie, like those of Canada, within the Arctic and interior regions and may never be available for a large export trade. The forests lying close to the Pacific ocean are partly surrounded by nations which will be the first bidders as export trade increases. "China, with her hundreds of millions of people, is likely to develop industrially, and much of her timber needs must be supplied from the Siberian forests. Japan, although still an exporter of certain species of timber, already imports large quantities from Siberia. Even if all the Siberian timber were at the undisputed call of the United States and lumber could stand the cost of transportation from Siberia to the interior and eastern states, the quantity available for annual export would amount to but a small part of our present consumption. The timber needs of the United States are so enormous, amounting to nearly half of the consumption of the world, that it is inconceivable that they can be supplied, except in small part or at excessive prices, by importations from other countries. "Although the hardwood is more promising, the difficulties in securing the amounts necessary are no less serious. The tropical forests of South America and Africa contain vast areas of hardwood timber, some of which can doubtless take the place of our hardwoods when they are gone. "These tropical forests, however, will remain undeveloped on any large scale for a number of decades. The great variety of species on each acre makes it expensive and difficult to log the scattered merchantable trees; and the little-known properties of the various woods, the difficulty in seasoning them, their heavy weight and the high cost of transportation, may prevent their use in large quantities to replace our own hardwoods. It is doubtful whether the exploitation of tropical hardwoods can come fast and soon enough to meet our pending shortage of sawlog material short of prohibitive costs."

"The total mileage der construction on 1062 miles." MUST DEPEND ON OUR OWN FORESTS Any idea that the United States can depend upon the forests of other countries to supply its timber needs after its own forests have been mined out must be abandoned, declares the forest service, United States department of agriculture, in its new bulletin, "Timber: Mine or Crop?" in which the necessity for regarding the country's forests as crop lands rather than as timber mines is emphasized. "This country's present imports and exports of timber and other forest products nearly balance," says the bulletin. "It may be expected that as local shortages develop within the next few years, as has already been the case with pulp wood in the northeast, they will be covered in some part by importations, particularly from Canada. Our imports will probably soon exceed our exports. Any hope, however, that we may depend upon importations from abroad when our timber resources are exhausted must be abandoned." The forest service points out that two-thirds of all lumber consumed in the United States is soft wood—pine, fir, spruce and hemlock. It is further stated that there are only three great bodies of coniferous timber in the world outside of the United States. One is in Canada, a second extends from Scandinavia eastward through Finland and European and Asiatic Russia to the Pacific ocean, and the third, of relatively minor importance, is in central and southeastern Europe, chiefly in pre-war Austria-Hungary.

FEDERAL AID TO HIGHWAYS In an address upon the subject of public highways delivered before the American Automobile association, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace recently gave some very interesting facts and figures in connection with the operation of the federal road act. Among other interesting data furnished by Secretary Wallace in the course of his "The resignation and approval of The designation and appraisal of the federal aid highway system under the act of 1921 is progressing rapidly. By the end of the summer approximately 179,000 miles will have been designated as a part of this system. Up to May 5 all but three states had submitted tentative systems for approval. The systems of thirty-three states had been formally approved, including a total of 105,406 miles. Considering the approved systems in the thirty-three state we find that of the 1015 cities of 5000 or more population in these states 959 of them lie directly on the approved system, and there is not one but will be connected with the system by an improved state or county road. When the system is completed, the foregoing, one will be able to travel from any town of 6000 population or greater to any other town because of the budget one of the first laws passed Republican congress special session by President The budget law passes Ican congress at that statistically identical with the previous Republic vetoed by President T.

It has lished because those Rutatives responsible for ANAHEIM GAZETTE of the same population without leaving an improved road. "The detailed study of the availability of the improved roads to the total population has not been completed, but if we take typical states in the east, middle west and west, we find that the roads on the federal aid system will give a maximum service. In Maryland not more than 21-2 per cent of the population lives further than ten miles from a federal aid road; in Indiana less than 1 per cent; in Arizona, where the total population is but 334,000, perhaps one-third will live outside the ten-mile zone. "A federal aid road will cross the western mountains at practically every one of the mountain passes. "In designating the routes to be included in the federal aid system the chief aim of the states aid the federal agency has been to select routes which will give the maximum of local service and at the same time connect with one another to form a great national highway system. The states were first asked to certify the total mileage of road in existence at the time the act was passed. Seven percent of this was the maximum allowable mileage that could be included in the system. The total was 194,262 miles. The states were then asked to prepare maps of state systems proposed by them, locating the roads by controlling points. These state systems were carefully reviewed and studied by the department and some changes were suggested as being desirable from the national point of view. Conferences were held between representatives of the department and of the states and groups of states, and out of these conferences came agreement as to the systems finally decided upon. "Federal aid for road building was inaugurated by the federal aid road act, approved July 11, 1916. "Since the above date $540,000,000 have been appropriated as submissions of the budget were determined to bring about the greatest possible reduction of public expenditures consistent with efficient administration. It has been brought about because following the appropriations asked for in the budget there has been an especial effort upon the part of the Harding administration to restrict expenditures to essentials. For the first time in the history of this republic it has been the rule to save as much out of appropriations as possible, instead of spending all the appropriations simply because they were available. There has been under this administration competition in economy among the various bureaus, whereas before there was competition in expenditures which resulted in a riot of waste and extravagance. Under the leadership of President Harding an entirely new spirit has been infused in the executive branches of the government. Administrative officials from the highest to the lowest have had it impressed upon them that next to giving the public good service their highest duty as public servants is to be as economical as possible. They are being impressed with the fact that the United States government is the biggest and most important business corporation in the world. They are being taught that if it is to succeed, they must conduct its financial affairs according to the same fundamental business principles that other successful corporations conduct their affairs. They are being impressed with the fact that getting results is an administrative, not a legislative, function, and to get results there must be teamwork, co-operation, method, system, looking and planning ahead. This task has not been front page news. It has not got into the headlines, but it has resulted in the reduction of public expenditures in the aggregate of hundreds of millions of dollars."

Attorney for Administrator. 5-24-3t were carefully reviewed and studied by the department and some changes were suggested as being desirable from the national point of view. Conferences were held between representatives of the department and of the states and groups of states, and out of these conferences came agreement as to the systems finally decided upon. "Federal aid for road building was inaugurated by the federal aid road act, approved July 11, 1916. "Since the above date $540,000,000 have been appropriated or authorized for the fiscal years 1917 to 1925 inclusive. Of the above amount $75,000,000 is authorized for the fiscal year 1925 and will not be available for expenditure until July 1, 1924. Sixty-five million dollars is authorized for the fiscal year beginning July 1 of this year, leaving $400,000,000 authorized or appropriated for expenditure up to the current fiscal year. "Of the $400,000,000 authorized or appropriated up to the current fiscal year $226,274,214 had been paid to the states for work completed up to March 31, of which $160,938,223 was paid on projects completed and accepted, and $65,335,991 had been paid in progress payments for work completed on projects which were still under construction on March 31. "The total mileage completed or under construction on March 31 was 39,062 miles." TURNING DEFICITS INTO SURPLUSES The second complete fiscal year under the Harding administration will end June 30. It will close with a cash surplus well in excess of $100,000,000. When the fiscal year began it was estimated there would be a deficit at the present time of approximately $750,000,000. That the estimated deficit has been transformed into an accumulated surplus is due to the business administration of President Harding and his executive associates. They are able to put into practice their business ideas because of the budget act, which was one of the first laws passed by the last Republican congress when called into special session by President Harding. The budget law passed by the Republican congress at that time was practically identical with one passed by the previous Republican congress, but vetoed by President Wilson. The budget law made possible the fiscal administration of President Harding, but it cannot be over-emphasized that the budget law did not THE GEOLOGY OF POLITICS A geologic fact, determined aeons ago, affects the happiness of millions of men today. The fact that a slip of land occurred in one direction rather than another that rocks of a certain thickness or hardness occurred at a certain point rather than a hundred miles away means the difference between the sea as human happiness or human misery. Some men say that there is no such thing as "accident." And yet, here is an accident. It is an accident, to the people of the Balkans and to the people of Asia Minor, that the straits that separate them are but a few miles wide instead of a hundred miles wide. But this difference between ten and a hundred miles is the difference between the political security of peoples and the continual terror in homes and in families throughout many hundreds of miles. It has meant the location of Byzantium, the building of Constantinople, the dominance of Stamboul. Had Thrace and Anatolia been as far apart as are Italy and Africa or even as near together as are Britain and France, their political fate would have been much different. The political problem, that Ismet Pasha is discussing with the allies at Lausanne, would never have been raised, or raised would have been easy of solvency business principles that other successful corporations conduct their affairs. They are being impressed with the fact that getting results is an administrative, not a legislative, function, and to get results there must be teamwork, co-operation, method, system, looking and planning ahead. This task has not been front page news. It has not got into the headlines, but it has resulted in the reduction of public expenditures in the aggregate of hundreds of millions of dollars since President Harding took charge of the government. It has resulted in a different spirit permeating the executive agencies of the government. It has resulted in deficits being turned into cash surpluses. It has resulted in improved service to the public. It has resulted in the taxpayer putting up fewer dollars to run his government and also in getting more service for each dollar he puts up. Summed up, the announcement that the close of the fiscal year will see the United States government with a surplus on hand, means that the Harding administration has put into actual practice the promise to give the American taxpayers service and economy.

ADOLPH THOMAS. because of the budget act, which was one of the first laws passed by the last Republican congress when called into special session by President Harding. The budget law passed by the Republican congress at that time was practically identical with one passed by the previous Republican congress, but vetoed by President Wilson. The budget law made possible the fiscal administration of President Harding, but it cannot be over-emphasized that the budget law did not make such a administrative imperative. There is no truth in the argument that now that the law is on the books it little matters which party is entrusted with its administration. No law operates automatically. The fulfillment of its letter and its spirit depends upon the personnel of those entrusted with its administration. The human equation is and must always be the dominating factor in popular government quite as surely as it is in private business. No system of government can be efficient unless it is directed by men who are efficient. No law can bring about reforms in financial administration of the government by the mere fact that it is upon the statute books. The history of budget systems which have been in operation in various states clearly proves that where the public falls into the error of relying upon a budget law rather than upon its administrators to bring about economy they are doomed to disappointment. To the individuals who compose the executive branch of the government under the leadership of President Harding must be given the credit for the splendid financial condition of the United States. It has been accomplished because these Republican executives responsible for the preparation COASTWISE TRADE INCREASES Although the shipping board has not yet disposed of an ytrade routes in accordance with is recent proposal, las sales of ships continue steadily.
