Tony Rego, Los Angeles Coast League player, broke up the game of ball at the high school grounds Sunday, by objecting to a decision and attempting to lick the umpire. Rego was playing with San Pedro, and in the fourth inning; with the score 2 to 2, a Pedro batter was thrown out at second. Rego put up a howl, rushed Bonchet. The ump ordered him out of into the diamond and struck at umpire the game, and the San Pedro manager refused to continue the game unless he was reinstated. This Bonchet refused and gave the game to Anaheim, 9 to 0. This was the first game in the Triple A series. Miss Irma Robison of Buena Park has received notice that the supreme court has reversed the decision of the lower courts in her suit for damages against the Southern Pacific. Miss Robison was badly burned in the burning of the gasoline motor car which runs on the Southern Pacific between Los Angeles and Anaheim, January 19, 1921. She was fifty-four days in the Huntington Park hospital. Miss Margaret Billig was also badly burned and she and a Mr. E. D. Sayro brought suit against the railroad company. In the superior court they were awarded damages and this judgment was re-affirmed by the court of appeals But the supreme court last Friday gave their decision exonerating the Southern Pacific from blame for the accident.

Development of the town of Costa Mesa in Harper precinct and the town of Greenville, in Newport precinct, influenced the move to change the names of those precincts in order to more properly identify them, it was pointed out. ANAHEIM MAN MEETS A SINGULAR DEATH Neck Broken by Sudden Stoppage of Car in Collision with Post. M. J. Lavis, proprietor of the Bell Dry Cleaning establishment at Five Points, met death in a singular manner Saturday morning. While driving in his car on West Center, accompanied by his small son, he lost control of the car and crashed into the porch of a residence at 922 West Center. It is presumed he fainted while at the wheel therefore was unconscious when his car climbed the curbing and struck the porch. It was found that his neck was broken by the sudden stoppage of the car, death having instantly resulted. The little boy riding with him was uninjured. The body was taken to the Huddle funeral parlor where funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon. Coroner Brown held an inquest Tuesday, accidental death being the official determination. He was 32 years of age and leaves a wife and two-year-old son. He is also survived by a brother who resides at Taft, California, and a sister, Mrs. Margaret Alois of Minneapolis. The brother came down on being notified of the accident. Davis was a member of the Moose-lodge and that order had charge of the funeral which was held at the Huddle parlorors Tuesday. Durial was in Loma Vista cemetery. COUNTY FARM WILL BREED FINE STOCK CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS TO BE SHOWN IN EAST First Exhibition to be Given in St. Louis in February Orange County citrus growers and packing house executives are keenly interested in the completion of plans for a monster orange and semi-tropical fruit exhibition to be staged by California interests at the coliseum in St. Louis, February 15 to 24, inclusive. A non-profit organization, headed by Fred M. Renfro, former manager of the San Bernardino National Orange show, will sponsor the great citrus festival. According to Renfro and leading citrus executives associated with him, the aim of the mid-winter fruit show will be to bring California and its products closer to the hearts of the people of the East and Middle West. "The California Orange Show and Fruit exposition will be state-wide in scope." Renfro explained, discussing the plan in Los Angeles, "and virtually all California fruits will be featured These include citrus and deciduous fruits, raisins, figs, dates, olives, avocados, nuts, and many by products." "Chamber of Commerce, civic organizations, resorts transportation companies and leading hotels also are expected to participate." With midwinter conditions pervailing throughout the Midwest, the great coliseum, one of the largest buildings of the kind in the country, will be converted into a vertiable fairyland, Renfro said. It is the aim of the promoters to make this an annual event, moving the show from city to city, and advertising California in every possible way. C. P. Early, general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, is president of the new organization. A. S. Bradford of Placentia is treasurer. Complete packing plants will be among the exhibits. The coliseum has a seating capacity of 10,000 and it is believed thousands will be attracted by the unique display of California products. ANAHEIM GAINS ONE PRECINCT COUNTY FARM WILL BREED FINE STOCK Developments on a model county farm from which high bred cattle, swine, poultry, etc., can be procured so as to improve the stocks of ranchers is planned by the board of supervisors, according to a well authenticated report in Santa Ana, and the recent acquisition of a number of purebred Berkshire hogs is only one step in the process. A poultry plant, which has been conspicuous by its total absence heretofore, is the next thing planned. At present there are only 14 or 15 cows, but some of them are excellent stock, acquired a few months ago. The county farm bureau when asked about the matter pointed out the value of numerous small hords of swine on ranches generally to consume garbage, surplus fruit that would otherwise go to waste, and other materials. Undor these conditions it is highly profitable to keep swine, though the large herd is another matter, because both grain and alfalfa are necessary for their successful raising. A few days ago Charles Eddy was appointed foreman of the county farm, which heretofore never has had a head other than the superintendent of the county hospital, which is allied with the farw. STATE MEETING ENDS WITH MANY RESOLUTIONS The State Directors of the California Farm Bureau Federation ended their meeting, which was held in Berkeley, Nov. 7, 8, 9, by passing several resolutions of more than passing importance to all residents of the state. Among the resolution were the following to the effect that: Governor C. W. Richardson make adequate provision for fire protection throughout the state. That the federation take an active interest in an impartial survey of the Oriental labor situation on the Pacific coast. That the next legislature appropriate funds to reimburse counties who resides at Taft, California, and a sister, Mrs. Margaret Alois of Minneapolis. The brother came down on being notified of the accident. Davis was a member of the Moose-lodge and that order had charge of the funeral which was held at the Huddle parlors Tuesday. Burial was in Loma Vista cemetery. Editorial in Chicago Tribune, modify Prices:" The head of the Carnegie Institute the manufacturers of machinery, would reduce prices 2 per cent thereto a 25 per cent reduction in freight on loans. "The trouble with that proposition—by political pressure; commodities." But that is a consideration thereto future. They may be able to fluence upon the machinery of re-portation the immediate advantage sooner. Regulation, unless it is a railroad, is not in the farmer's interest much; it is up to the farmer to work for it, but a rate that is inadequate he may think it is until he begins. A railway rate reduction suffices on a freight bill would, if made effective railroad and threaten the solvent forest products, steel articles, etc., be lowered until there is a reducible eight-eight cents of the railway and rentals. A 10 per cent rate credit of lines which have nothing. The Government turned the rail operating deficit of $45,000,000 a month. Now, the railroads have no such Mutual Orange Distributors, is president of the new organization. A. S. Bradford of Placentia is treasurer. Complete packing plants will be among the exhibits. The coliseum has a seating capacity of 10,000 and it is believed thousands will be attracted by the unique display of California products. ANAHEIM GAINS ONE PRECINCT Twelve Added to County's Total, in Preparation for Next Year's Registration Changes in the boundary lines of voting precincts in Orange county, in preparation for the 1924 registration, increases the number of precincts by 12, making a new total of 136. The survey of boundary lines, made under County Clerk, Backs' direction was approved by the board of supervisors, adding a dozen new precincts and changing the names of two old ones. Huntington Beach city gained the most of these political subdivisions, six new precincts being created there, thus increasing the total from four to ten. One precinct was added at Orange, making eleven, Anaheim's total was increased with the addition of one precinct, making twelve in all. One was added in Santa Ana, making a total of thirty-seven; one was added at Newport Beach making a total of three; one was added at Garden Grove, making a total of three there. Harper precinct will henceforth be known as Costa Mesa precinct, the name being changed. This precinct was also split in two, accounting for importance to all residents of the state. Among the resolution were the following to the effect that: Governor C. W. Richardson make adequate provision for fire protection throughout the state. That the federation take an active interest in an impartial survey of the Oriental labor situation on the Pacific coast. That the next legislature appropriate funds to reimburse counties who might make an investigation of water resources of the state. That additional agricultural subjects should be taught in the rural schools. That the Oakland estuary be deepened and expanded to permit deep sea vessels to reach the grain elevators. Sustaining the office of the state market director under certain provisions. And of most pertinent interest to the southern part of California, that the Swing-Johnson Bill should be passed in Congress providing for permanent protection to Imperial Valley in the development of the Colorado river. The delegates also announced their intention of promoting a constitutional amendment affecting the apportionment of legislative representation. They stated that it was their desire apportionment should be made in a manner to protect the rural communities. IN PLAIN ENGLISH President Coolidge is right. If the eighteenth amendment doesn't mean enforcement by both state and federal authorities, why does it say just that... SATURDAY FINAL DAY OF Anniversary Sales see the Windows for Particulars KENSTEIN'S ANAHEIM Cal. KENSTEIN'S ANAHEIM Cal. ting at Reasoeable Price at Gazette Would Freight Rates be Reduced at the Expense of Good SERVICE? Tutorial in Chicago Tribune, August 25, 1923, entitled "Freight Rates and Com-Prices:" Nead of the Carnegie Institute at Pittsburgh told a gathering of farmers that if manufacturers of machinery, clothing, house furnishings and other commodities reduce prices 2 per cent this would reduce the farmer's expenses as much as or cent reduction in freight rates. So would a reduction of 1 per cent in interest. It is trouble with that proposition is that the freight rates may be reduced—possibly political pressure; commodities and interest not so readily. That is a consideration the farmers will ponder very carefully, if they look to ensure. They may be able to force a reduction in freight rates by using their influence upon the machinery of regulation, but if that reduces the efficiency of transmission the immediate advantage will be swallowed up sooner or later, probably Regulation, unless it is constructive, unless in the long run it builds up the basis, is not in the farmer's interest. As his political leaders do not discuss that it is up to the farmer to look it up for himself. Just freight rates should be for, but a rate that is inadequate to the carrier is not just to the farmer, though he think it is until he begins to pay the price of inadequate service." Freight rate reduction sufficient to enable a shipper to make a substantial saving. Freight bill would, if made effective now, impair the earning power of every western railroad and threaten the solvency of some. All that a railway buys—labor, coal, products, steel articles, etc., still range at peak prices, and rates cannot safely be saved until there is a reduction in these costs. Eight cents of the railway dollar is required for wages, fuel, supplies, taxes etc. A 10 per cent rate reduction would wipe out all profit and injure the lines which have nothing saved up for a rainy day. Government turned the railroads back to their owners in 1920 with an average deficit of $45,000,000 a month, which had been paid from the Federal treasury. The railroads have no such recourse. for, but a rate that is inadequate to the carrier is not just to the farmer, though think it is until he begins to pay the price of inadequate service." railway rate reduction sufficient to enable a shipper to make a substantial saving right bill would, if made effective now, impair the earning power of every western and threaten the solvency of some.

Government turned the railroads back to their owners in 1920 with an average deficit of $45,000,000 a month, which had been paid from the Federal treasury the railroads have no such recourse. increase in railroad freight rates is less than the increase in other prices. January, 1923, the average freight rate of the western railroads was only 36 per other than in 1913, while the average wholesale price of all farm products was 42 higher and the average whoesale price of all commodities 56 per cent higher. Equations in prices for farm products cannot be laid at the door of the railroad, between June 1922, and June, 1923, under the same transportation conditions, declined 10 cents a bushel in price and corn improved 19 cents. Depressed condition of the farmer, and particularly the wheat grower, has been at concern to the railways, as well as to the public, but happily all signs point to special improvement. "The estimated income of the farms of America for 1923 is in dollars in excess of their income in 1922" (Advertisement, the Capper Farm October 8, 1923.) The last annual report of the Interstate Commerce Commission says: "Manexisting rates are no longer interfering with the free flow of commerce as a the railroads a chance. Don't lessen their usefulness by impairing their earnner. They are spending more than a billion dollars this year not from earning new money to put their properties in condition to better serve the public and to car shortages—this because they believe in the inherent fairness of the Ameriple and their willingness to pay what good service is worth. Starved railroads, starved horses, cannot do good work. It is exomatic that compensatory rates with service are far preferable to cheaper rates with poor service. Structive suggestions are always welcome. C. R. GRAY. President. UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM
