OBSERVATIONS By Charles Kuchel. "Lookit—look at that," said a fellow as he bit off another joint of tobacco, when an oriental, not over 12 years of age, sat at the wheel of a late model sedan as it passed by the other day. "We send money and missionaries over there to educate them. We call them heathens. Say, what do you know about that," and the man splashed another gill of juice over the asphalt. Picking up fast. A Yorba walnut grower has discovered that a small worm has succeeded in injecting itself into the nuts, which does not show its damage until the nut has matured. The insect germinates in the pollen when the flowers first appear. This grower says a good spray ought to be used next year to eradicate the pest. The outward appearance of the nut is good, but upon looking inside the insidious work of the worm is seen. A stitch in time saves nine. A number of local people find themselves in possession of a lot of worthless stock, which was negotiated there awhile back. They fell for the high rate of interest promised, but which never came. Look before you leap. A farmer who had raised several acres of fine cabbage told his daughter—15 year of age—she could take the car and fill it up with cabbage and go to town and annex some pin money. The lassie loaded up a quantity of the succulent vegetable and went forth to beard the dealer in his den. But wherever the young lady went, she heard, "No, we don't need guys who had a hard time keeping the wolf from the door, now wear checked vests. Striking pay dirt." Every now and then one hears of walnut meats being sent to this country from China, and coupled with that comes the report that the conditions where the nuts are packed are anything but sanitary. The walnuts are cracked and the kernels dumped upon the floors that are filthy. Where the nut crackers fail to unloosen the kernels the coolies use their teeth to finish the job. These nuts are used in this country in various ways. How about it, Mr. Inspector, better look it over. Preaching a sermon. A townsman received a letter from a nephew in a foreign land the other day, in which he said he would soon be on his way to Amrelica to reside. The relative incidentally remarked that he intended to work in Chicago, and would make his headquarters in Anaheim with his uncle and go back and forth morning and night to his work. The young man didn't say whether he owned a Zeppelin or a flivver. The prospective commuter. "It's going to rain—I feel it in my bones," remarked a man slightly bent and holding his hand to his hip. "I can always tell when a rain is coming, by the way my old bones act. And sure enough it rained that night back in the mountains. Walking barometer.

A farmer who had raised several acres of fine cabbage told his daughter—15 year of age—she could take the car and fill it up with cabbage and go to town and annex some pin money. The lassie loaded up a quantity of the succulent vegetable and went forth to beard the dealer in his den. But wherever the young lady went, she heard, "No, we don't need any cabbage!" Finally, in dispair, she told a man to take all the cabbage he wanted and to pay what he thought it was worth. The sum received was hardly enough to buy a powder puff. Sometimes it is hard to figure out why some things are just as they are. "Listen, dad," said the daughter when she got home, "we will never clean up on cabbage until you and the rest of the growers co-operate. When a gateman was letting down the lumber too often at a railway crossing an obliging cop sauntered over and found out that the traffic tender had been letting down his tip too often on the Jamaica bottle. Perhaps the man was happy because he wa salive and wanted to celebrate, but he was playing with fire by doing so. No doubt he has been fired and will have a long time to figure out when its time to shut the gate. On the fence. "Kid Firpo" and "Barney Google," are in town, nick-names which are giving two young men who get chesty when so addressed. They say one has a kick like a mule, while the other can pick a winner in a horse race with both eyes shut. Drawing the spotlight. In returning from a motor trip east, a former resident of this city, relates many sad stories, some bordering upon the ridiculous, concerning the conditions of people who have taken the notion of going out west. Hundreds of families have put all their belongings into their machines of various types, determined to join the hordes headed for the Pacific coast. Many of these misguided persons have very little, some are penniless, but just the same they have become imbued with the idea that the great wide west stands ready to receive them with open arms. They will have a rude awakening. They ensure enough it rained that night back in the mountains. Walking barometer. LEAGUE NOT ONLY BANKRUPT BUT WHOLLY HYPOCRITICAL Article 18 of the covenant of the league of nations provides as follows: "Every treaty of international engagement entered into hereafter by any member of the league shall be forthwith registered with the secretariat and shall as soon as possible be published by it. No such treaty or international engagement shall be binding until so registered." At Geneva last Friday, the special commission of the leagu on the reduction of armaments was addressed by Christian L. Lange, or Norway. The subject under consideration was an international covenant of mutual assistance, to supplement a scheme for the limitation of land armaments among the members of the league. M. Lange proposed two amendments to this covenant, one of which provided that all international treaties should be filed with the league for registration and publication. After a long discussion, the commission rejected this, along with other amendments. We believe that this incident perfectly presents the leagu as it is. The factly presents the league as it is. The of which ebery member is obligated by the express terms of the covenant to submit every international engagement into which it enters to the secretariat for publication. This is plain, definite and complete. The fact that M. Lange should think it important to propose an exact repetition of this provision for inclusion in a new agreement among the members of that same league is astonishing. It closes the measure of confidence which the weaker members of the league extended to their more powerful colleagues, which is no confidence at all. The conclusion must be that the members for Norway looks upon the covenant as a mere piece of international buncombe, and we dare say he has complete justification for his views. Why, if this covenant is worth the paper upon which it is written, should any member of the league consider it important to suggest an engagement of this nature? M. Lange knew where he spoke. His proposal was in itself amazing. The American people alternatives, either a law based on the consummation of force. Opinion of President Cohen pressed in a public petition with the celebration anniversary of the signatory. "The constitution is porting," said the president. "If it will survive it will have public support. Ing adequate sacrifice what is of public benefit." "The constitution of States is the final right that is enjoyed by citizen. So long as it those rights will be ever it falls into disrespect, the end of order government, as we have more than 125 years, we The constitution represents of law. There is a form of authority, and an enforcement of force.

Hundreds of families have put all their belongings into their machines of various types, determined to join the hordes headed for the Pacific coast. Many of these misguided persons have very little, some are penniless, but just the same they have become imbued with the idea that the great wide west stands ready to receive them with open arms. They will have a ruin awakening. They will have their troubles here the same as they existed before they started. But, of course, they cannot be stopped in their mad race for the land of sunshine. Many of these pilgrims have not the ordinary necessities of life—are poor, plain people. They will not find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. They have failed at home financially in their battle as breadwinners, but many of them believe they can recoup their losses once they set foot upon the shores of the placid Pacific. They will have another guess coming when they land here. The western states are fast filling up with prosperous people, but for those who possess nothing it would be well for them not to expect very much, unless they can get in and drill, and even then they are due for many disappointments. Don't know where they are going, but they're on their way. "Anybody who says I'm a bootleger is a blankety, blank, blank." said a man on the street the other evening. Those words he said were mild compared to what he could turn loose if he got real mad. It has come to pass in certain quarters that when a fellow wears a new suit of clothes, or sports a car, the word goes forth that perhaps he has taken to selling snifters. However, it has come to pass that there awhile back some ful colleagues, which is no confidence at all. The conclusion must be that the members for Norway looks upon the covenant as a mere piece of international buncombe, and we dare say he has complete justification for his views. Why, if this covenant is worth the paper upon which it is written, should any member of the league consider it important to suggest an engagement of this nature? M. Lange knew whereof he spoke. His proposal was in itself amazing. But the re-action of the commission to it was even more amazing. The commission had the unexampled synicism and shamelessness actually to reject the proposal. If confession were needed from the members of the league that they regard it as no more than a badge of respectability resting upon a scrap of paper which they do not and do not intend to respect unless it suits their convenience to do so, this was the confession. The league is absolutely bankrupt. It was to be the agent of the new era. Secret diplomacy, aggression and imperialism, balance of power, international anarchism—all these were to disappear in the sanity and idealism of the league. Needles to say, secret diplomacy, balance of power and all the rest of it have not disappeared, but are stronger than ever. The disgrace is that the powers which are responsible for this state of affairs pretend to virtue in the league. The old diplomacy was at least frankly symbolic; the new is thoroughly hypocritical. The old diplomacy never had the effrontery to do openly what the commission of the league did on Friday, to confess in so many words its own dishonesty. An efficiency man is one who knows he must find something inefficient in order to hold his job. President Coolidge is best students of the Amition in public life today, to that fundamental institution government has been his support of it upon him has been vigorous and active. In an address to the general court on January 1st Coolidge said: "Our government believes people. Our property belongs people. It is distributed it. The taxes are paid by them bear the burdens of government must accrue plece; not one class but all the people. The power, the sovereignty of government must be kept when been placed by the common laws of the people." In his capacity as governor to a bill passed by the etts legislature providing ufacture and sale of beer message he said: "By solemn adoption ment to the fundamentals land jurisdiction of this been placed in congress. He left there until it is equal solemnity by the s that such amendment I That which the court haside, I shall not hasten t DISCUSSING METHODS OF REDUCING FROST HAZARDS Orchard heating to reduce frost hazards is thoroughly discussed by Floyd D. Young, meteorologist, United States weather bureau, in the leading article appearing in the October issue of Citrus Leaves, published by the Mutual Orange Distributors, which has just been released for distribution. Mr. Young presents his conclusion, based upon years of experience, that adequate equipment and efficient work will profitably reduce crop losses and show dividends to the growers. Discussing the frost hazard situation, Warren R. Schoonover, extension specialist of the Riverside experiment station, outlines the necessary apparatus required to efficiently control low temperature dangers. Analyzing the market conditions in the leading trade centers of the United States and Canada, C. P. Earley, general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, points out the special conditions surrounding the citrus industry in its gales problems. Mr. Earley recently returned from an extended trip and has secured some valuable data for the citrus producers of California. Soil moisture studies, based upon experiments conducted in the Whittier and La Habra districts, are set forth in an article by E. E. Thomas, of the Riverside experiment station. The questions of irrigation methods, wilting percentages, furrow moisture content and various cultivation conditions are discussed in a simple and convincing manner. Citrus Leaves announces the formation of the California orange show and semi-tropical exposition, a non-profit corporation organized to present southern California's products in eastern cities through expositions similar to those held in California.

The questions of irrigation methods, wilting percentages, furrow moisture content and various cultivation conditions are discussed in a simple and convincing manner. Citrus Leaves announces the formation of the California orange show and semi-tropical exposition, a non-profit corporation organized to present southern California's products in eastern cities through expositions similar to those held in California. R. M. Renfro, formerly manager of the national orange show, is general manager of the new organization. Predicting that eventually the various leading agricultural products of California will be handled by competing co-operative organizations controlling not over fifty per cent of any commodity, Editor B. W. McDaniel presents a strong editorial, in which he analyzes the arguments against monopolistic control of the citrus industry. He also takes a rap at long distance citrus farming and points out the detrimental effect it has had upon the general industry. AMERICA MUST CHOOSE The American people have two alternatives, either a government of law based on the constitution, or a government of force. Such is the opinion of President Coolidge as expressed in a public letter in connection with the celebration of the 136th anniversary of the signing of the constitution. "The constitution is not self-supporting," said the president's letter. "If it will survive it will be because it has public support. It means making adequate sacrifice to maintain what is of public benefit." "The constitution of the United States is the final refuge of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure. Whenever it falls into disrespect or disrepute, the end of orderly organized government, as we have known it for more than 125 years, will be at hand. The constitution represents a government of law. There is only one other form of authority, and that is a government of force. Americans must make their choice between these two. One signifies justice and liberty; the other tyranny and oppression. To live under the American constitution is the greatest political privilege accorded to the human race." TRADE WITH THE ORIENT The trade of the United States with Oceania and the orient, or Asia, has increased nearly 210 per cent in a decade, or from $526,000,000 in 1914 to $1,627,000,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30th last. Trade with the Asiatic division increased from $400,000,000 to $1,433,000,000; with Oceania, which includes Australia and New Zealand, from $125,000,000 to $194,000,000. For the fiscal year just ended that trade comprised 21 per cent of our trade with all the world. As is the case with the Latin Americas, with whom we bought and sold to the tune of $1,684,000,000 the last fiscal year, a large part of our purchases from Asia and Oceania consists of crude materials, while the bulk of our sales to those divisions consists of manufactured goods. There is, however, considerable competition in our market with manufacturers from Japan, China and India, while Australia and New Zealand run us a good race in wool, meats and what may generally be termed animal products. Considered separately, we imported $42,000,000 worth of goods from Oceania in 1914, and exported to that division $84,000,000. In 1922 the figures were $31,000,000 imports from and $84,000,000 exports to. In 1923 they were $72,000,000 and $122,000 respectively a large gain over the menace of wars; endeavoring to accumulate real capital instead of flat money; trying to lessen the burden of armaments; finding tasks for the idle; encouraging trade and industry; seeking to open new markets; refusing to get them entangled with others who have not yet found that the war is over." This is the program that has been going steadily forward since the inauguration of President Harding, and every day is adding more to its realization. The United States is the only one of the principal participants in the world war that has set its course resolutely toward the ways of peace. The others are still giving vent to the very jealousies , traditional animosities and royal intrigues that were responsible for the great war. The United States has natural wealth beyond that of any other country in the world, but its greatest asset is the good sense of its people in staying clear of the old world influences that seek to drag them down. There can be no question as to the fundamental soundness of these propositions. The canceling of national obligations is bad for the country which foregoes what is justly due and it is equally bad for the country and the people whose obligations are cancelled. Such an unwise course invariably would militate against the economic welfare of the future. No man can say what exigencies may arise in pute, the end of orderly organized government, as we have known it for more than 125 years, will be at hand. The constitution represents a government of law. There is only one other form of authority, and that is a government of force. Americans must make their choice between these two. One signifies justice and liberty; the other tyranny and oppression. To live under the American constitution is the greatest political privilege accorded to the human race." President Coolidge is one of the best students of the American constitution in public life today. His devotion to that fundamental instrument of our government has been constant and his support of it upon all occasions has been vigorous and unequivocal. In an address to the Massachusetts general court on January 8, 1921, Mr. Coolidge said: "Our government belongs to the people. Our property belong to the people. It is distributed. They own it. The taxes are paid by the people. They bear the burdens. The benefits of government must accrue to the people; not one class but to all classes, to all the people. The functions, the power, the sovereignty of the government must be kept where they have been placed by the constitution and laws of the people." In his capacity as governor, he voiced a bill passed by the Massachusetts legislature providing for the manufacture and sale of beer. In his veto message he said: "By solemn adoption of an amendment to the fundamental law of the land jurisdiction of this subject has been placed in congress. It ought to be left there until it is declared with equal solemnity by the supreme court that such amendment is void.* That which the court hesitates to decide, I shall not hasten to declare. My from Japan, China and India, while Australia and New Zealand run us a good race in wool, meats and what may generally be termed animal products. Considered separately, we imported $42,000,000 worth of goods from Oceania in 1914, and exported to that division $84,000,000. In 1922 the figures were $31,000,000 imports from and $84,000,000 exports to. In 1923 they were $72,000,000 and $122,000,000 respectively a large gain over the other two years mentioned. About 75 per cent of the trade is with Australia alone. Our Asiatic trade for 1914 showed imports from $287,000,000; exports to, $113,000,000; for 1922, imports from $705,000,000; exports to, $480,000,000; for 1923, imports from $996,000,000; exports to, $437,000,000. In this Asiatic trade Japan ranks first. Last year we imported $3 2,500,000 worth of goods from that country and sold that country $213,000,000 worth. As in 1922, nearly 80 per cent of our exports from Japan consisted of raw silk. Next in the trade of Asia, on the import side of the ledger, come the British East Indies, from which we imported nearly $288,000,000 worth of goods last year, selling them $36,000,000 worth—an opportunity for trade proselyting there. Included in the imports were $37,000,000 worth of tin from the Straits Settlements and $113,000,000 worth of crude rubber from Ceylon, a Mlaya and Sumatra. China comes next in the trade, with $170,000,000 imports from and $97,000,000 exports to that country in 1923. American capital invested in China to take advantage of cheap Chinese labor in manufacture has been extraordinarily great in the last decade, and continues to increase.
