OBSERVATIONS By Charles Kuchel. A lady stepped into a store the other day to make a purchase. The proprietor is a former Iowan and casually remarked that it was warm, and forgivingly said this sort of weather was unusual. "Unusual!" replied the lady with emphasis, "why that's the most overworked word around here I've ever heard of," continued the lady defiantly. "I live at Stitchet, up the valley, and while we look for hot weather this time of year, I've found it hotter here than there." 'the lady said, as she was preparing to go. "Hold on lady," said the storekeeper, "do you realize that if we had 65 degree weather here now, we wouldn't be able to house all the people who would be flocking in?" And the lady as she passed out of the store looked back, with a smile, saying, "I guess that's right." Getting the decision. The other day a fellow walked down the street, pondering to himself that things were not as they should be, and was beginning to think that he would be an available candidate for some gloom society. He was feeling like the fellow who was taking the other's dust and couldn't make headway. His displeasure was heightened when a seedy looking guy approached, for the loan of a half dollar. He began to think again that he was an easymark, and wondered how so many people rode in cars while he was stepping along on a quarter inch of shoe leather. The fellow was just about ready to join the bolshevik, when he met up with a friend who was all bundled up, had a swollen jaw, could hardly speak and was looking like the last rose of summer. They are seeking a remedy, but when asked what is the cause for all this they shake their heads, and say, "I don't know." There are some big questions up before this country and this is one of them. Smoke 'em out. WHOLE GRAIN FHEAT WHAT IS IT? A few years ago, C. H. Woodward, who believed in whole grain wheat, was experimenting with it and made the discovery whereby it could be cooked under a low heat pressure and retain all the mineral and chemical and vitamine elements of the grain, nothing being lost in the process. The process was patented in the United States and Canada, and now large plants are in operation in Momence, Ill., and Hamilton, Ont., and the product, whole grain wheat, is being shipped all over the world. This is the only food in existence that contains all the mineral and chemical elements that is in the blood and that supplies them in the blood stream in balanced proportion. It is sold only through the company's own distributors and can be procured only from them or the company in Chicago. J. H. Claybaugh is distributor for Anaheim for whole grain wheat. He is well known here, he having been the Santa Fe agent for nearly 27 years, until stricken down by paralysis over 3 years ago. He shows in his own person what whole grain wheat will do for one in his condition. This product is correcting many of the ill that are the result of using denatured food. Constipation, golter, palsy, under and over weight, under nourishment, anemia, malnutrition, etc., readily yield to its continued use. A short time ago a test was made on 92 pupils in one of the Chicago schools,and the results were simply marvelous. Each pupil was given 3 1-3 ounces of whole grain wheat with a pint of milk. Throughout the U.S., generally supposed to in every state has a unique distinction on county farm which is den to the taxpayers, income of one hundred dollars. A few years ago Chased one hundred a land about two miles for a county farm.

This well meant relation of the county and royalties to the county which was flowing in when a seedy looking guy approached, for the loan of a half dollar. He began to think again that he was an easymark, and wondered how so many people rode in cars while he was stepping along on a quarter inch of shoe leather. The fellow was just about ready to join the bolshevik, when he met up with a friend who was all bundled up, had a swollen jaw, could hardly speak and was looking like the last rose of summer. When he asked the friend what was the matter and was told that he had an ulcer on his jaw and had to take liquid food through a straw to keep alive, the afore-mentioned gloomy one at once perked up, cracked his heels together, and could, figuratively, hear the birds singing in the tree-tops besides a babbling brook. Rolling his hoop up another alley. In 1868 it is related a farmer at Chino dug up a water well and at a depth of a few hundred feet struck a strata of asphaltum. Now that section is experiencing an oil boom, a new field being opened up there. Rip Van Winkle. Twenty years ago old-timers say a doctor then residing here drew a map of northern Orange county, showing where oil was to be found. The doctor was rated as a geologist and his opinion was looked upon as being the right dope. While his prognostications about oil being in this immediate vicinity never had been given the acid test, the time is now here to see if the doctor was right. Fire when you are ready. The line of talk one hears right now concerning the prospect of striking oil here has reached the stage where some people believe that even if success crowns the efforts of the big fellows, it will never be known until such time as they get a good neckhold on all the land they want. This would hardly seem probable, because secrets are hard to keep. On the other hand a person runs across the fellow who things there is nothing to it and the best that can be expected would be a water well. Others feel so sure that they already planning all sorts of things if an oil well is brought in on their land. One caselder is going to charter a Boat and take some of his friends to the South Seas islands. Another whi has a IS GAS TAX "PAINLESS?" Good Roads Save More in Tires Than Amount of Levy, Claimed A set of tires costing one hundred and fifty dollars may run for ten thousand miles on average roads. The same set will run double the mileage on improved highways. The average car travels ten thousands miles per year. Therefore, the average tire cost, supposing average size and quality of tires are purchased, is $150 per year on dirt roads and $75 on fine roads. Ten thousand miles of running, at an average of 15 miles to the gallon, requires 666 2-3 gallons of gas. If gas is taxed 2 cents a gallon, the average runner of ten thousand miles pays $13.33 per year in gas tax. In a state where there are 100,000 automobiles (which is less than the average, California, for instance, has about a million), the net income from the gas tax, above outlined, would be $1,333,000.00. At twenty-five thousand dollars per mile, that sum will build fifty-three miles of improved highways. If there are a million cars, five hundred and thirty miles of improved highways could be built a year from the tax. If the gas tax was 4 cents, 106 or 1060 miles a year, respectively, could be built. Where the roads are unimproved the 100,000 car owners spend $7,500,000 a year on tires, which they otherwise would save. The million car owners would spend $75,000,000 on tires they otherwise would save. Proponents of the argument say that a tax on gasoline spent on roads is the one and only "painless tax." This would hardly seem probable, because secrets are hard to keep. On the other hand a person runs across the fellow who things there is nothing to it and the best that can be expected would be a water well. Others feel so sure that they already planning all sorts of things if an oil well is brought in on their land. One east-sider is going to charter a boat and take some of his friends to the South Seas islande. Another whi has a generous disposition is going to keep open house to all his friends, who will be privileged to come early and stay late. The oil spirit affects old and young alike, and one bachelor who has passed the allotted three score and ten, cracks his heels together and admits that he would get married if the petroleum flows out his way. The young man and woman, too, who work for a living, are getting the elastic step, and if the big ones get oil here business will be good, the young ones will hold their jobs, keep up the payments on their cars, and try and figure out if two can live as cheap as one. Boring in. —)o(— A man just arrived from Texas tells a very interesting but disheartening story of the wheat and cattle ralsers in that state. It costs the wheat raiser $2 a bushel to raise his crop, but at present he gets less than a dollar a bushel for his wheat. This Texan says that the wheat grower is broke. The cattleman has a fine range of cattle which he sells for 5 and 6 cents a pound on the hoof. The best that he can get—and he likewise has gone broke. The conditions exist all over Oklahoma and Texas and through the northwest. The farmers stand around dumb-founded and are asking each other what is wrong. If the gas tax was 4 cents, too or 1060 miles a year, respectively, could be built. Where the roads are unimproved the 100,000 car owners spend $7,500,000 a year on tires, which they otherwise would save. The million car owners would spend $75,000,000 on tires they otherwise would save. Proponents of the argument say that a tax on gasoline, spent on roads is the one and only "painless tax." THE 12-HOUR DAY GOES When Judge Gary wrote President Harding that, in compliance with his plea, the 12-hour day would be abolished in steel mills as soon as conditions made the change possible, Samuel Gompers made light of the promise. It was, he said, hedged about with too many "ifs" and "ands," and careful analysis showed that the equivocations were there all right enough. But the late president preferred to ignore the "ifs" and the "ands" and to taks the steel trust at its word. Events since have proved the wisdom of Mr. Harding. Recently the abolishment of the 12-hour day was completed at the mills of the United States Steel corporation at Gary, Indiana, when the blast furnace workers started on an eight-hour schedule. At the same time the eastern plants of the Bethlehem Steel company and others are expected to follow the big corporation's lead. This is not, of course, final achievement, but it is progress in the right direction. The sun of industrial slavery is setting. Who remembers when the Nick Carter and Diamond Dick novels were considered by reformers to be as great a menace to the youth as the saloon? THE RICHEST "POOR FARM" Throughout the United States it is generally supposed that every county in every state has a poor farm, where the old and dependent of the county may be sent to be housed and cared for. Few of these institutions are self-sustaining, but Oklahoma has the unique distinction of possessing a county farm which is not only no burden to the taxpayers, but has a monthly income of one hundred thousand dollars. A few years ago Creek county purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land about two miles west of Bristow for a county farm. The land was rich and fertile and it was the expectation of the county authorities that under the right management the farm would prove self-sustaining. And it was. About four years after this land had come into the possession of the county, Albert Kelly went before the county commissioners and asked to be granted an oil lease on the same. The commissioners decided that the nominal sum he would pay for the lease would be in the nature of a contribution to the county fund, and they decided to grant him the lease. Kelly then proceeded to lease a number of adjoining farms and at once re-leased it to an oil company. One of the first locations the oil company made was on the poor farm. The directors of the company rather severely criticized by the people of that section for trying to find oil in that locality of the mid-continent field. Former tests had shown it to be dry territory, but the company located its wildcat rig and the drilling began. At a depth of about three thousand feet the drill located oil and in paying quantities. This well meant riches for that section of the county and it meant big royalties to the county from the oil which was flowing into the pipe lines us, we must constantly remind them. If we want children to know how a cow looks we must show them a cow. GOOD NEWSPAPER RULE A Texas editor recently issued the following rules, which explain themselves: "Fifty cents per line will be charged for all obituary notices of business men who get their job printing done in another city; twenty-five cents per line will be charged for like notices to all business men who do not advertise, while delinquent subscribers will be charged fifteen cents per line on passing to the new Jerusalem. Advertisers and such subscribers will receive the best there is in the shop free-gratis when they shuffle off. "Those who extend the paper no support whatsoever and go around knoeking the editor, or lambasting the community and its' citizens, drop banana peelings on the sidewalks,apit like a dime or try to sell us a gold brick,will be given the truth,which won't look good in print,when they give up the ghost. "Better send in your orders for printing and advertising,pay up your subscription,get to boosting this paper and its editor,and speak in glowing terms of the town and its people,for an epidemic of hog cholera is said to be abroad in the community." SAFETY MEASURES In the interest of promoting safety among the school children of the southern counties of California,the auto club has just issued a bound volume dealing with safety measures of all descriptions. Automobile and highway matters are dealt with at some length in this book issued by the safety bureau of the club. These volumes will be distributed through the various schools the class usually defiant of legal restraint,but by respected citizens who seem rather proud of promoting an illicit business. Organization plainly in hostility to the real spirit of the constitution are springing up. They assume to represent a sort of super-Americanism. They say it is their intent to uphold the law,while their very existence is contrary to law. When a group of members take into their rown hands the enforcement of the statutory and moral codes,they regenerate into a mob,and they have no merit that does not belong to other lynchers. If the newspapers fail to give warning against the danger of undermining the social structure,they are neglecting a pressing duty.To abide by the constitution,and by legislation framed in accord with it,not only is essential but absolutely vital. NEW SPRAY REGULATIONS Horticultural commissioners of the four citrus counties of southern California—Los Angeles,Orange,Riverside and San Bernardino—have issued regulations governing custom spraying. These rules forbid spraying during windy or rainy weather or when the trees are wet.A detailed report of the work performed must be supplied by the county horticultural commissioner,who is authorized to revoke the license of any one found guilty of careless spraying. A written contract between grower and sprayer is recommended,also the straining of all materials into the spray tank,the pumping back into the tank of the contents of the hose after each stop and the thorough agitation of the spray material before each operation of the outfit. SUCCESS WITH PECANS severely criticized by the people of that section for trying to find oil in that locality of the mid-continent field. Former tests had shown it to be dry territory, but the company located its wildcat rig and the drilling began. At a depth of about three thousand feet the drill located oil and in paying quantities. This well meant riches for that section of the county and it meant big royalties to the county from the oil which was flowing into the pipe lines and tanks built on the poor farm. The success of this discovery of oil led Creekmore Wallace, a lawyer of Sapulpa, the county seat of Creek county, to begin an investigation into the original lease which had been granted to Kelly. He found that the lease had never been made a part of the minutes of the commissioners' proceedings. He then took the matter into the courts, asking that the owners of the lease be restrained from selling the oil, and that the county be allowed to take over the entire output of the wells, seven other wells having been put down in the meantime. In court a settlement was arranged by which the owners paid Wallace fifty thousand dollars in cash, and Creek county a like amount. But the golden stream of royalties has not stopped during all this time, and from the wells that are now on the poor farm, the income of Creek county's institution is something like a hundred thousand a month. No one can figure out just what the poor farm is worth, but undoubtedly it is the richest farm of this kind in the country. It also means that the taxpayers of Creek county will pay practically no taxes this year, and perhaps for many years to come. THEY DON'T KNOW St. Louis has again set an example. She has put a cow and a pig in her zoo. "A waste of money," someone said, "everybody knows what a cow and a pig look like." Do they? We'll make a rough guess that there are a million children in the city of New York who never saw a cow or a pig; perhaps half as many in Chicago and Philadelphia. Perhaps when some of these children grow up they will go to St. Louis and if the cow and the pig in the St. Louis zoo are dead, some Missouri will tell them how the cow and the pig looked. SAFETY MEASURES In the interest of promoting safety among the school children of the southern counties of California, the auto club has just issued a bound volume dealing with safety measures of all descriptions. Automobile and highway matters are dealt with at some length in this book issued by the safety bureau of the club. These volumes will be distributed through the various school systems of the southern counties and also will be available at club headquarters. This book is plentifully illustrated with drawings made by school children showing the dangers of "hopping a ride," 'playing in the street, walking blindly in front of street cars, holding umbrellas so as to obscure vision, crossing railroad tracks without stopping to look and listen, and many other illustrative illustrations. SEEKING AID FOR THE WOMEN VETERANS Domiciliary care for women veterans of the world war, including army nurses, is being urged by the American Legion auxiliary, in order to save the lives of hundreds of such women. The fight for admission to national institutions has been taken up by the hospitalization committee of the organization, to assist the women veterans. About 30,000 women were in military service, 6000 of whom have applied to the government for relief. Mrs. Lowell F. Hobart, past national president of the auxiliary and chairman of the hospitalization committee, who has completed a survey of such women veterans, declared that the problem was very grave. Mrs. Hobart said that unless domiciliary care is afforded many of these women veterans, they will die of starvation, adding that in one district of the veteran's bureau alone, 581 women veterans needed admission to some institution where care and treatment might be provided. Another problem is faced by the auxiliary workers, declared Mrs. Hobart, in persuading these women to accept such treatment where available, due to extreme sensitiveness regarding their disability. The greater number of such women are found in the west, where they have to be cured of tuberculosis. A recent veterans' bureau ruling A written contract between grower and sprayer is recommended, also the straining of all materials into the spray tank, the pumping back into the tank of the contents of the hose after each stop and the thorough agitation of the spray material before each operation of the outfit. SUCCESS WITH PECANS After 40 years' experience in growing pecans, I am firmly convinced that as fine pecans can be grown here as anywhere. I planted 30 varieties here in Riverside county. Many trees have been improved by top-working with buds which I cut from the four best pecan trees I could find in Texas, writes a Riverside man. The trees were interplanted in an orange orchard on Placentia loam. They began to bear at three, four and five years of age. I have done considerable crossing of superior varieties. Have also crossed pecans with English and black walnuts. The root-stock is the greatest factor in growing pecans. The pecan will stand both extreme heat and intense cold, being uninjured by zero winter temperatures. It needs however, an immense amount of water. W. D. Tate has 10 Success pecan trees near Yuma, Arizona, which in their tenth year bore 600 pounds of nuts. In their eleventh year the crop amounted to 800 pounds. The nuts are sold in Los Angeles at one dollar a pound. C. R. Cranes has a 25-year-old pecan tree at Escondido which produced last year 650 pounds of nuts. LEGIONNAIRES TO SEE FLEET Twelve super-dreadnaughts, one armored cruiser, thirty-nine destroyers and small craft will compose the great armada which is to be present in San Francisco during the American Legion convention, October 15 to 19. The presence of the fleet, is expected to add much interest to the program for the visiting legionnaires. Admiral R. E. Coontz, commander-in-chief of the fleet, is personally supervising many of the arrangements, in addition to that of the great naval review. The fleet's contribution to the legion show will not be confined to one day's participation. Each night, the ships will be illuminated; the 21,100 guilty or careless spraying. A written contract between grower and sprayer is recommended, also the straining of all materials into the spray tank, the pumping back into the tank of the contents of the hose after each stop and the thorough agitation of the spray material before each operation of the outfit.

Perhaps when some of these children grow up they will go to St. Louis and if the cow and the pig in the St. Louis zoo are dead, some Missourian will tell them how the cow and the pig looked. What's all this to do with advertising? Just this: Too many of us take it for granted that the other fellows knows. To the vast majority of people, even the most important facts are as little known as the cow and the pig to the East Side urchin in New York. The spread of knowledge regarding the thing we think well known is very meagre. If you doubt this, as a dozen questions of a dozen men about any product. Their ignorance will prove astounding. Don't let us fool ourselves. They don't know nearly so much about us as we think they do and the little they do know they'll soon forget unless we keep reminding them. What does Fisher make? Whole roller bearing are said to be best. Was Plant a steamship man or a shoemaker? Does Campbell make varnishes or soup or both? Does Bird lay eggs or carpets? What is Fenestra—Klearflax—Warsworth—Loraine? These are not obscure names. They are names that many thousand of dollars have been spent to popularize—to make household words. All have been heard and read. How many are remembered? If we would keep ourselves in the minds of those we would have know Another problem is faced by the auxiliary workers, declared Mrs. Hobart, in persuading these women to accept such treatment where available, due to extreme sensitiveness regarding their disability. The greater number of such women are found in the west, where they have to be cured of tuberculosis. A recent veterans' bureau ruling permits the admission of women to such institutions as have available accommodations, but, according to the results of Mrs. Hobart's survey, there are less than a dozen of such instances. She feared that many would die before a building program to provide suitable quarters is completed. Veterans' bureau officials have offered every possible aid in the problem, but are hampered because of lack of facilities, it was said. The problem will be given careful consideration at the San Francisco convention of the American Legion Auxiliary. COOLIDGE TELLS THE WAY "Undivided allegiance to the constitution, and unhesitating obedience to legislative action." With this sentence President Coolidge imparted to newspaper men of south his idea of how they could best help in the maintenance of good government. He added more, but in these words was the essence of his message. Such directness bespeaks the executive character. The constitution is being ignored to an extent that never before has marked American history. One portion of it, an amendment for bidding traffic in liquor, is being ignored not only by in San Francisco during the American Legion convention, October 15 to 19. The presence of the fleet, is expected to add much interest to the program for the visiting legionnaires. Admiral R. E. Coontz, commander-in-chief of the fleet, is personally supervising many of the arrangements, in addition to that of the great naval review. The fleet's contribution to the legion show will not be confined to one day's participation. Each night, the ships will be illuminated; the 21,100 officers and men will participate in one of the great parades; and the sailors will contribute an athletic field day on the water that will equal anything on land. Boxing, wrestling, pushball, water polo, baseball and other sports in addition to boat and swimming races, will afford entertainment well worth seeing. Admiral Coontz will receive the legion officials and guests at a dress reception on his flagship, the Seattle, during the convention. "Fleet Night," reserved by the "gobe" on Wednesday of the convention week, should afford entertainment for every visitor. Features planned for that evening will be some of the most remarkable of the entire convention, and the whole seagoing gang will be turned loose in the convention city for a night of fun. It is expected that vessels or naval units from several allied countries will be present during the convention to participate in the big naval review, making the spectacle in San Francisco bay one of the most unusual ever seen on the west coast. "What man has done, man can do," according to the old copy-books, but that does not mean that what any man has done, any man can do as the teachers tried to make you believe. PAGE THREE BILLIONS LOST TO WORLD The most amazing thing, perhaps, about the work of Luther Burbank, the great naturalist, is the way the world has neglected to take advantage of his discoveries. The story of loss to mankind, through indifference, as told by Mr. Burbank in a recent issue of the Dearborn Independent, is almost incredible. The naturalist tells, simply and straightforwardly, how he has been developing new plants for 60 years, and is now producing more new and improved varieties in one day than he used to produce in 20 years. He averages, he says, "at least 1000 a year of better forms of plant life than ever before existed." The new creations include fruits, flowers, vegetables, nuts, grains and trees. He has 33 acres of land at Sebastopol, Calif., that would be worth billions of dollars upon it were introduced to the world and put to use. And what becomes of them. The only way the new plants can be distributed, he explains, is through seedsmen and nurserymen. And none of them want more than two or three new plants a year, because it "disorganizes their business." Thus he can put out only a small fraction of his discoveries. The rest stay on the land where they are produced, unused and unknown to the public, and most of them are lost to the world because he cannot take care of them. "I am 74 years old," says Mr. Burbank. "My strength is good for my age, but not what it used to be. I sold part of my Sebastopol experimental farm for a cemetery because I could no longer operate it. The remainder will go for the same reason. When I am tired, I some times fel that if the world does not care if the best varieties of plant life the earth has ever produced go to waste, I don't care, Money on behalf of the sufferers is being poured out from private sources. Ships belonging to the government will carry food and clothing to the stricken. The situation makes an appeal to all humanity, but in this country is that part of humanity best able to respond. Even now it is impossible to estimate the loss of Japan either in life or property. All that is known is that in both respects it has been terrible beyond all words; almost beyond the power of the mind to comprehend. In a land of peace and prosperity, of pride and hope, all at once was chaos. Cities of vast population had vanished before the onslaught of elements attacking with fury unprecedented. It is not to be conceived that Japan has been crushed finally. Its people, for such is their spirit, will rise to new achievement. As they struggle to rise to forget their disaster, and their measureless sorrow, they will continue to need help. Never was call more poignant. PONY EXPRESS ARRIVES The revived pony express, epic reminder of the old express of the 60's, ended its trip from St. Joseph, Mo., at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, when Will Tevis, poloist, rode in Tanforan race track at San Francisco on the back of a hardy mount. Tevis had carried the mail pouch from the state line. Sol Lipman, of B troop, Eleventh cavalry, Monterey, Calif., dashed into the paddock of the track at 3 p.m., the army having entered a team of relay riders to race Tevis to the finish line. The 16-pound pouch of mail was rushed at once to the main postoffice in San Francisco for distribution. It was announced at the track that the revived express had beaten the time of the old express by approximately 42 hours. between grower anded, also the materials into the growing back into the hose after through agitation before each oper PECANS cience in growconvinced that grown here as varieties here many trees have working with the four best and in Texas, planted in an placentia loam, three, four and able crossing Have also English and foot-stock is the wiring pecans. both extreme being unintemperatures. amense amount Success pecan cona, which in 600 pounds of nth year the pounds.

"The human race needs these superior forms of plant life very much. But the world moves slowly, weighed down as with a great lethargy—a great inertia. It is much more difficult to introduce an improved form of plant life than it is to create it."

The 16-pound pouch of mail was rushed at once to the main postoffice in San Francisco for distribution.

A celebration marking the end of the great ride was held. The 75 couriers who participated in the ride covered a total of 2180 miles at an average speed of 13 3-4 miles per hour. The riders were on the road 158/hours, 8 minutes. The best average speed of the pony express riders of 1860, according to available records, was 10.1 miles per hour.

Like the Postage Stamp the Postage Stamp —your success is dependent upon your ability to stick to a thing until you "get there." Don't be discouraged because you can't save as fast as you would like to. Bring in what you can spare. Stick to the saving habit. It is worth while. It has brought independence to others and it will do the same for you. FIRST NATIONAL BANK AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK of Anaheim
