Mr. Sloan is a lawyer and farmer at Geneva, Nebraska, and while a Member of Congress was the author of the measures which provided for cooperation between the Federal Government and the several states in the eradication of hog cholera and of tuberculosis in live stock generally, which measures have been eminently successful. Because of his special interest in agriculture and live stock production he visited American Consuls and also the Ministers of Agriculture in Europe in an effort to ascertain all the facts of interest to American farmers relative to agricultural conditions. Speaking of his observations Mr. Sloan says that, as in the case of all great wars from the beginning of history, the war in Europe resulted in the depletion of herds and flocks, and after the war, the people turned to the production of cereals as the easiest and quickest method of supplying their needs for food. Many of the vineyards in France have been plowed up in order that the soil might be sown to grain. As a result, there has been a great increase in the production of cereals, particularly rye, barley and wheat, but there is still a great shortage in live stock. Mr. Sloan found, also, that in European countries little systematic and effective work has been done for tuberculosis eradication.

The Electric Wiring contract for the County Jail was awarded to A. E. Prink, at a price of $6,690.00. The matter of awarding the bids for equipment for New County Jail was continued to February 13th, 1924 at 2 P.M. Resolution was adopted instructing Clerk of advertisement for bids for Elevator for County Jail. Said bids to be received up to 11 A. M. March 11, 1924. A resolution was adopted accepting the Hall of Records, as completed. It was ordered that the bond of the National Surety Co. In Ordinance No. ANAHEIM GAZETTE receptions in Continental countries are Holland and Sweden. He found that 27 per cent of the cows of Germany are tubercular, as also are 50 per cent of the dairy cows of Great Britain. The American Consul General at Paris informed him that measures for the eradication of tuberculosis in France were so depleting the milk herds that the efforts had to be discontinued. The cattle of the Continental countries visited were largely oxen and cows, the latter not only used for producing calves and milk but also as burden bearers. The calves being slaughtered in order to furnish veal at hotels and cafes to supply the demands of the tourist trade. Young cattle are scarce in all the Continental countries visited, Germany appearing to have more of this class than any other Continental country. Mr. Sloan expressed the opinion that, for the next two or three years, wheat, which can be raised in every degree of latitude and longitude in either temperate zone from cheap lands, can not be produced in America to compete for European wheat markets. He believes that the farmers of America, studying and carefully estimating the home supply, should produce the quantity which fortified by a protective tariff, will give our wheat raisers a fair return. Their chief energies, however, should, in his opinion, be turned to the rasing of live stock or feeds for live stock so that when European affairs are somewhat settled and Europe turns to the task of replenishing the herds and flocks, the American farmer will be ready to supply the demands. With American herds cleansed of tuberculosis there will be a good market in Europe, and, in Mr. Sloan's opinion, this will open the widest avenue for agricultural prosperity this country has ever witnessed. Europe with her multiplied millions must signed to deal with national issues and needs and problems. If there is anything in the United States that isn't needing or asking anything in particular from the government just now, it is "labor." We do not mean by this that any "labor" is getting everything it wants or that all labor is getting everything it ought to have. Far from it. We mean that, relatively, labor is doing so well that it isn't a subject of political commissioner and charitable talk such as the former is. Moreover, what labor wants it isn't asking the government to give. Labor has reached the age of self help. It is helping itself, and in many cases with great generosity. It is no longer an object of political charity. Labor is doing what its employer has long been doing. It has secured through the new immigration barriers, such exemption from foreign competition as the manufacturing industries have gained by barriers against imported merchandise. Then it organized to exploit to the best advantage the opportunity thus secured. These high freight rates which irritate the farmers are the product in part of the wages which efficiently organized and managed railway labor unions are able to exact. As a result, while the income of farmers, measured in buying power, is now about one-third less than in 1914, the income of labor as a whole, measured in buying power, is somewhat more than in 1914. By organization and patient persistence, skilled labor has got in position to enforce its demands. Unorganized and unskilled labor is proving by the prosperity of its more advanced brethren. Labor is not asking the government to raise its wages. It asks only to have the government keep hands off while it raises its own wages. It hardly needs just now the special tenderness of the Prosei. taled $4,743,512.00 in ten permits authorizing the issuance of such dividends; in November, the total was $4,491,470.11 in nineteen permits; while in December, $9,565,706.72 was issued in dividends in twenty-four permits, the largest of which authorized a stock dividend of $4,500,000 and the smallest, $1,200.00. The figures given do not include in any way the amount of cash dividends paid by the various companies in California at the close of 1923 as it is not necessary for corporations to apply for or obtain permission to issue cash dividends. These stock dividends are indicative of the rapid growth of corporations in the state. Where stock dividends are issued, the companies retain the capital represented for further expansion and development, thus providing working capital without the necessity of the sales of additional securities and building substantial foundations with which to withstand any temporary depressions which might arise. Commissioner Daugherty in commenting upon the figures given, declared that the records of the department clearly show that business in California is sound and the outlook for the new year in connection with corporate activities is bright. AUCTION OF SCHOOL LANDS The vacant State school lands in San Bernardino County, approximating 295,000 acres, will be offered for sale at public auction by W. S. Kingsbury, Surveyor General, at the Court House, in the city of San Bernardino, Thursday, March 6, 1924, the sale to commence at 10:00 A.M. Terms of sale are ten per cent cash the balance bearing six per cent interest. Agents may bid for principals upon submission of affidavit of citizenship of principal and power of attorney WHY PRESIDENT COOLIDGE DIDN'T MENTION LABOR An opposition leader in Congress tells us in shocked tones that the President did not mention labor in his sagege. The assertion seems unbelievable, yet a hurried re-rummaging through the message seems to prove it true. There is no paragraph headed "labor." That in itself is an unparalleled and astonishing omission. Except as incidental to the coal situation, there seems to be no mention of labor at all. This means to the opposition leader that the President doesn't love labor. It can't be that. The less a statesman loves labor the more must he, as a rule, protest his love of it. One must search long for a legislator with a heart bursting on his sleeve from love of labor. No, the explanation of President Coolidge's remarkable enduct is otherwise. Our western farmer in particular will be interested in the real explanation. The President's message was de- By organization and patient persistence, skilled labor has got in position to enforce its demands. Unorganized and unskilled labor is profiling by the prosperity of its more advanced brethren. Labor is not asking the government to raise its wages. It asks only to have the government keep hands off while it raises its own wages. It hardly needs just now the special tenderness of the President more than that tough-fibred self-helper, the Standard Oil company. One can imagine a state of affairs where farmers, having learned to organize for control of their own products, and having learned, too, to distinguish between political soops and economic realities, will need to make quite as little claim upon presidential sympathies as do hard-boiled labor and equally sophisticated capital in this year of agrarian discontent. STOCK DIVIDENDS Complications just completed by Commissioner of Corporations Edwin M. Daugherty, relating to the issuance of stock dividends in this state during the last three months of 1923, indicate not only that a condition of prosperity exists but that business enterprises in the state of California are experiencing a rapid and pronounced growth. The total represented in dividends distributed to stockholders in California during the months of October, November and December, 1923, was $18,800,688.83. In October, the stock dividends to- Half a million Scouts of America are now "doing a good daily" and in appreciation of the value of this splendid organization this week has been set aside as "SCOUT WEEK."

The character training these boys get—to stand like men face of temptation—will benefit them all through life. In building character there is nothing finer than to encourage practice THRIFT.
