The halcyon and vociferous announcement is made that the league of nations is to have its covenant interpreted. The league itself, through its secretariat, has selected a commission of eight eminent jurists, from eight of the nations represented in its council, who are to mull over that impeccable instrument and determine what it means. This is good news to the world, which has long been wondering what is the actual purport of the covenant; all the more since several recent cases of what looked like trimming and dodging on the part of the league itroff, or like flouting and defying its authority by some of its members. The manner of the achievement also commads keen interest, since it seems to be a clear case of lifting oneself by the bootstraps. The league itself is to interpret itself to itself. That obviously makes it certain that the interpretation will be satisfactory. It will be recalled, however, that at its formation the league itself was proclaimed to be the universal interpreter. It was to interpret everything that needed interpretation for everybody that wanted anything interpreted. It was to interpret international law, and all treaties. completed for the nine months ended with September 30, 1923, show that in that nine months period we imported goods to the value of $2,904,000,000, as compared with $2,183,000,000 for the same period in 1922. This was an increase of $720,000,000 or about 33 per cent. Those figures relate to imports from the entire world. If we confine the comparison to Europe alone, concerning which the Democrats made the most dismal predictions, the showing is much the same. In the nine months of 1923 we imported from Europe, goods to the value of $665,000,000 as compared with imports amounting to $633,000,000 in the corresponding nine months of 1922, or an increase of $181,-990,000 or an increase of about 30 per cent. In neither the percent of increase nor the total value of imports is there anything on which could be based the criticism that the Republican tariff is prohibitory. But it is in the character of our imports and exports that the best showing is made in favor of the Republican tariff. Leaving aside the amounts in dollars and dealing in percentages, the report for the nine months ending with September shows that we imported of "crude materials for use in manufacturing," 38 per cent of our total imports, which class of materials represents a larger proportion of imports than any other class. On the export side the figures show that manufacturers ready for consumption constituted 39 per cent of the total or a larger proportion than any other one class. In other words, unde the Republican tariff we are importing more raw materials and exporting more manufactured commodities. This necessarily means that we are providing more employment for American labor in making goods ready for consumption. That is largely the explanation for the fact that American mills are running practically at full capacity and the wages of American workmen are keep- COUNTY FARM TO November 22nd Warmin How many Oranges know that the County farm in connection with it?

The league itself is to interpret itself to itself. That obviously makes it certain that the interpretation will be satisfactory. It will be recalled, however, that at its formation the league itself was proclaimed to be the universal interpreter. It was to interpret everything that needed interpretation for everybody that wanted anything interpreted. It was to interpret international law, and all treaties. It was to interpelt the Monroe Doctrine for the United States and let us know for the first time in a hundred years just how much—or more probably, how little—that document meant. It was even to interpret the Constitution of the United States to us, far better than Hamilton and Marshall and Story and Webster were ever able, in their narrow nationalism, to do. And yet, now, early in its shining career, it finds its own constitution, the sacrosanct covenant—to modify which by so much as the dotting of an "T" or crossing of a "t" would be rank sacrilege—to be in need of radical interpretation. Truly, it is a good thing to have a sense of humor. It is also to be observed that the league thus purposes to do for itself that which it would not let others do for themselves. It revolted for example, at the mere thought of America's interpreting the Monroe Doctrine, or the Constitution of the United States; or of two nations interpreting for themselves a treaty which had been made between them. All such matters must be submitted to its supreme authority. No more nation could be its own interpreter. Yet it is to be itself the interpreter of its own covenant. Doubtless that is because there is no other authority in the world capable of doing the job Omniscience alone can divine omniscence. But now a fearsome speculation intrudes itself upon the mind. Suppose the interpretation of the covenant given by this octuple commission proves to be lacking in clearness and thus to need elucidation—to be itself interpreted—what is to be done? Shall somebody else be appointed to interpret the interpretation? That would seem to be logical. If the league itself which was to be the world's supreme interpreter, must be interpreted, what other and necessarily lesser thing can claim exemption from the same process. It is already agreed that the interpreter must be interpreted. Then the historian that interpreted the in- In other words, unde the Republican tariff we are importing more raw materials and exporting more manufactured commodities. This necessarily means that we are providing more employment for American labor in making goods ready for consumption. That is largely the explanation for the fact that American mills are running practically at full capacity and the wages of American workmen are keeping up at a very high standard. The principles upon which the Republican tariff law was based encourage the manufacture of goods in America. At the same time, our tariff law permits the importation of raw materials which American labor can use in production of the finished product. The import statistics show that we have increased our imports from each of the grand divisions. This is particularly gratifying in the case of South America with which we are making every effort to build up a mutually profitable trade. Our imports from South America during the nine months of 1923 amounted to $357,000,000 as compared with $241,000,000 in 1922, or an increase of about 45 per cent. These imports were largely of raw materialse or of commodities such as cocoa, tropical fruits, spices, etc., which we do not produce in the United States. EDUCATION WEEK California Legionnaires will hold the plea of President Coolidge and join in the nation-wide observance of Education Week, November 18 to 24. Morgan Keaton, State Adjutant of the American Legion in California, has issued a call to every legion post in the State to aid him in the celebration of the movement started four years ago by the Legion. Keaton has called upon the best orators in the ex-service men's ranks to enlist for participation in the week's ceremonies in the various cities of California. Speakers will be furnished to all schools and organizations and programs arranged for the observance of American Education Week to those requesting them. The United States Bureau of Education and the National Education Association are behind the idea of American Education Week which is intended as a part of the Americanization work of the Legion. Ministers of every denomination have been requested to begin the total or a larger proportion than any other one class.

"It cannot be so if a present member his record of service should be reduced." TARIFF NOT PROHIBITIVE From day to day in every way the prophets of the Democratic Party are being more and more discredited. When the Republican tariff law was enacted the cry was almost unanimous on the Democratic side in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, that the imposition of the Republican import duties would destroy our foreign trade and make it impossible for our European debtors to pay us what they owe. It was asserted that Europe must pay in goods since she can not pay in money, and that the Republican duties were so high that Europe would be unable to send us goods and, therefore, we could not collect the debt. Moreover, they asserted that since the Republican duties would be prohibitive, American manufacturers would be able to make their prices exorbitant—without fear of competition from Europe. Statistics, which have just been cities of California. Speakers will be furnished to all schools and organizations and programs arranged for the observance of American Education Week to those requesting them. The United States Bureau of Education and the National Education Association are behind the idea of American Education Week which is intended as a part of the Americanization work of the Legion. Ministers of every denomination have been requested to begin the week's observances on November 18 by preaching a sermon on education. American Constitution day is scheduled for Monday, November 19; Legion men and their friends will visit the schools on this day and special programs are to be arranged to tell the children of the Constitution. "Ballots, not bullets" is to be the slogan for the day. Other progras for the week are as follows: Tuesday, Nov. 20, Patriotism Day. Wednesday, Nov. 21, School & Teacher. Thursday, Nov. 22, Literacy Day. Friday, Nov. 23, Community Day. Saturday, Nov. 24, Physical Education Day. Adjutant Keaton has requested the mayors of each California community to issue a proclamation setting aside the week as American Education Week. Newspapers, merchants, motion picture houses and civic and business organizations will join with the Legion in observing the Day. James K. Fisk, of Berkeley is Chairman of the Americanization Committee for the California legion members. The longer automobile tours are better. They make you so much more glad to be back home.

If the trusted to confirm then it follows that he had passed upon an first instance. "The fathers of the institution endeavors prevent the establishment of States. In this event several safeguards established three co-office of government, legal and judicial. Another institution of revenue kept the militia, in the control of other limited military two years. Any appointments by them be confirmed by them was not the least against dictatorship." ANAHEIM GAZETTE COUNTY FARM TO CELEBRATE November 22nd Set for House Warming How many Orange County folks know that the County maintains a farm in connection with the Hospital? How many have been on the farm to see the purebred dairy herd, purebred hogs, and commercial orchard? Well, if you haven't been there to see all these splendid assets of the County Farm, Mr. Taxpayer, don't miss the special opportunity on Thursday, November 22nd. The Board of Supervisors is giving a general invitation to all Orange County folks to come that day and get acquainted with the farm. The Agricultural Extension Service and Farm Bureau will assist in the program of the day, at the invitation of the Board. The morning will be devoted to a livestock program beginning at 10 A.M. The Dairy Department of the Farm Bureau will hold its regular monthly meeting at the Association of SouheroR Farm, together with the Milk Producer Association of Southern California. The afternoon will be devoted to a trip through the orchard. Citrus fertilization will be discussed by the Farm Advisor and W. R. Schoonover Citrus Specialist with the Extension Service. A picnic lunch will be enjoyed at noon. Bring your lunch baskets and be prepared to spend the day. AUTO NOTES A comparative statement of registrations and receipts of the Division of Motor Vehicles for the months of October 1922 and October 1923 shows, according to a statement of Will H. Marsh, chief of the division, an increased registration over 1922 of 20,883. The registrations in 1923 amount Federal Reserve System is a very important feature of our governmental structure. We learned in 1920 that the Board can control credits. In its official report, the board asserted that it could and did determine its policies with a view to adding the expansion or contraction of credits. That being true, it is perfectly obvious that we have in our governing machinery no more powerful agencp than the Federal Reserve Board. "It confirmation by the Senate is desirable in any case it is certainly desirable in appointments to the Federal Reserve Board. To assert that such submission of nominations to the Senate is not desirable is a reflection not only upon the intelligence and honor of the Senate but a reflection upon the intelligence and honor of the people who selected the members of the Senate. If the people have elected fools and crooks to the Senate, then our system of popular government is a failure. That is the inevitable conclusion that must be reached from the demand of friends of the Federal Reserve Board who ask that reappointments be effective without confirmation by the Senate. "There has been widespread doubt as to the success of the Federal Reserve System. That doubt will be greatly increased by the effort of friends of the system to get it out from under therestraining influence of a Senate composed of 96 men chosen from every walk of life, from every section of the country and from both leading political parties."

Marsh, chief of the division, an increased registration over 1922 of 20,082. The registrations in 1923 amount to 75,796 against 51,714 one year ago. The total collections for the same corresponding periods are: 1923, $184,012.23; 1922, $130,207.53; or an increase in revenue for the department in 1923 of $53,804.70. The statement shows an increased percentage in collections amount to 40 per cent. Despite this enormous increase in registrations and collections the department was operated with a pay-roll decrease for 1923 over 1922 amounting to $3,381.48. Payroll for the month of October 1922 was $29,082.57 against $25,701.09 this year. The California Vehicle Act is amended in 1927 requires registration fee of $3.00 only on motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers. Will H. Marsh chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles has already received 1924 registration fees based upon the horse-power rating of the car, as required under the old law, instead of the straight $3.00 fee which is sufficient to register vehicles operated for private use in 1924. The motorist with a four cylinder automobile, a motorcycle, or a trailer will pay a registration fee of $3.00, as will also one who owns a six or eight cylinder car. Send $3.00 only and keep the rest for gasoline tax. CONFIRMATION BY SENATE DESIRABLE "The friends of the Federal Reserve system as at resent constituted are doing their own cause no good when they propose that the President shall be given authority to reappoint a member of the Board at the expiration of his term, without confirmation by the Senate," declares the Republican Publicity Association, through its President, honorable Jonathan Bourne Jr. "This is a reflection upon the Senate or upon the incumbent whose reappointment is desired." It cannot be otherwise construed. If a present member is competent and his record of service is good, why should he be reluctant to have his both leading political parties." THIRD ANNUAL TRACTOR SCHOOL Register now at Farm Advisor's office. Santa Ana for one weeks course of instruction in gas engine repair and over hauling. December 3rd to December 8th, Orange. This tractor repair school is conducted by the Agricultural Engineering Extension specialist of the University of California together with two assistants. Equipment in the way of tools, benches, tractor parts, magnets, carburetors, charts, etc., is carried from one school to another on a truck. The major part of the work is devoted to the actual repairing and adjusting of the tractors brought in for this purpose. Two hours a day are devoted to lecture demonstrations covering such subjects as fuel, carburetor adjusting magnito and ignition troubles, lubrication, tractor management, hitches, etc. The remaining six hours are devoted to shop work. This is divided into three parts: (1) bench repairing, including such work as babbitting, scraping of bearings, valve grinding, soldering, piston ring fitting, etc. (2) Adjusting, trouble shooting, and operation of either new tractors or tractors that have been overhauled by the students. (3) Overhauling of used tractors or gas engines. Most of the trouble with tractors arise through a lack of familiarity with the adjusting or operating of the new machine on the arm of the owner or driver, and the purpose of this school is not to make a tractor mechanic but to give as much practice in the necessary adjusting and repairing jobs as possible. Last year twelve of these schools were offered in various parts of the state, with a total enrollment of close to six hundred students. These desiring to have their tractors overhauled at the school indicate their wishes as soon as possible at the Farm Advisor's Office as the number...

DO IT NOW Anaheim People Should Not Wait Until It Is Too Late The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due largely to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious.
