Every paper which we pick up mentions him as the only Simon-mure weather prophet in Southern California and each adds that he prophesies rain for March 10th—lotsof it. We haven't seen Oliver for some days, but if he says it's going to rain on the 10th, why you had better get out your waterproof and have it ready by that time.

The West Anaheim schools are closed this week on account of the prevalence of Scarlet fever. Two cases having been found in that neighborhood.

The new Canadian organization is known as the Automobile Club of British Columbia and has fourteen branches. An extensive program has been mapped out for 1924 of road signage, map service, tourists camp sites, and other aids to visiting motorists. One of the most interesting activities of the Canadian Club to motorists in this country is the success of its efforts with the Canadian government to obtain extension of the time limit for touring permits for a term of six months instead of the three months previously in effect. It is believed that with the paved highways completed from Southern California straight through along the Pacific shores to Canada there will be a large number of motor parties from this section tour the neighboring country on the north next summer. A BUSINESS PRESIDENT ON THE JOB President Coolidge has restated his views about the farm situation and the remedial measures that may properly be undertaken to improve conditions. In his own program of relief by the Federal government he includes as the first item the enactment of the Norbeck-Burtness bill which proposes the creation of a revolving fund for the promotion of diversified farming in those parts of the Northwest which hitherto have devoted almost exclusively to the production of wheat. He also would extend till the end of the present calendar year the time within which the War Finance corporation may make advances indirectly for agricultural purposes. He is for these two helpful undertakings, but he makes it plain that he does not exclude others. In all his utterances about the farm and its current problems, the Presidency brings to bear on them, the country will derive a double benefit of a great importance. To the best considered efforts of the federal executive and legislative departments must be added, however, a concerted constructive work by state and local governments and by private community interests here and there over the land. WANTS GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OVER ROAD Bankhead National Highway Military Asset. Statistics gathered from State Highway Commissioners, Chambers of Commerce, Automobile Clubs, and others, have been compiled by Bankhead National Highway officials as ammunition in the campaign to have the road taken over by the Nation, to build its less improved portions and maintain it in perpetuity. The Bankhead National Highway Association, which has gathered the data states that a committee of leading citizens from each of the thirteen states The highway traverses will go to Washington and urge the passage of the measure. The Bankhead National Highway has been recognized by the Federal government. The board of officers who accompanied the Trans-Continental Military Convoy which traverses the road from Washington to San Diego across the continent, stated it was the most feasible military route across the country. Beginning at the zero milestone at Washington the road goes through thirteen states—Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, ending at San Diego.

Exsheiriff Nichols having retured to private life has purchased a second hand store at Santa Ana. His name is being mentioned as a candidate for marshal of that town. George Boyd began yesterday with a force of hands packing oranges for the Salisbury company for the Eastern trade. Mrs. Joseph Hatfield continues very low and fears are entertained for her recovery. Mrs. Crist received Friday, a check from the Fraternal Brotherhood of Los Angeles in the amount of $1,000 that being the sum of the insurance upon the life of her deceased husband who died on February 2nd. MOTOR NEWS New motor vehicle license plates must be in place by March 1 or arrest of motorists will follow, according to information at the office of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The law states specifically that within 30 days from February 1 the new credentials must be obtained. This brings the closing date to March 1, which will be the last day the old plates may be legally carried. Not only does the unprepared motorist face arrest, but will have to pay a penalty of 100 per cent if the license plates are not obtained before the closing hour of March 1. The first rush for licenses has abated, and plates now may be obtained without delay. However, it is expected that the usual late comers will be forced to wait in line during the last days of the month. "Get your new plates now" is the warning sent out by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Southern California motorists planning to tour in Canada next summer will find improved conditions in their Northern ramblings, according to information reaching the Automobile Club of Southern California. The Automobile Club of Western Canada has formed an agreement which is expected to provide a service to tourists similar to that offered by the many branches of the Southern California organization. farming in those parts of the North-west which hitherto have devoted almost exclusively to the production of wheat. He also would extend till the end of the present calendar year the time within which the War Finance corporation may make advances indirectly for agricultural purposes. He is for these two helpful undertakings, but he makes it plain that he does not exclude others. In all his utterances about the farm and its current problems, the President has disclosed himself as a business man dealing with a practical matter of wide-reaching interest. The whole object, he says, is reconstruction. The idea of charity does not enter in. Whatever is done by the government should be done in a way that safeguards the Federal Treasury; the holdings of which to the last penny are the people's money. The business man in/the President is heard from in these words about the revolving fund provided for in the Norbeck-Burtness bill: "The fund should be used in a manner that is sound and that will accomplish effective betterments in directions approved by those experts in the agricultural problems involved. It should not be loaned to men who have not the temperament, the experience or the industry necessary for successful farming." Here is the answer to the misgivings of some that the revolving fund plan would tend to perpetuate unfitness on the farm. Nobody—and least of all the President and sponsors of the Norbeck-Burtness bill—is proposing that good money shall be thrown after bad, or into a rat-hole. That would be as unfriendly to troubled agriculture itself as it would be unfair to the general interests of the people. One of the prime reasons for the conference which the President has just addressed in Washington is to see that public interest is adequately protected and to establish such a chain of co-operative effort as will insure the direct working out of the purpose the Norbeck-Burtness bill is intended to serve. If the President has his way assistance will be given only where it is eserved and where it will be effective. Like the tax reduction question, this farm emergency problem does not belong in any prospectus of partisan politics. Both question are economic and heavily charged with a general public interest. If both of them are met in Congress with the intelligence DON'T EXPERIMENT You Will Make No Mistake if You Follow This Anaheim Citizen's Advice Never neglect your kidneys. If you have pain in the back, urinary disorders, dizziness and nervousness, it's time to act and no time to experiment. These are frequently symptoms of kidney trouble, and a remedy which is recommended for the kidneys should be taken in time. Donn's Pills is a good remedy to use. No need to experiment. It has acted effectively in many cases in Anaheim. Follow the advice of an Anaheim citizen. C. E. Jordan, carpenter, 319 S. Philadelphia St., says: "My work is a strain on my kidneys and back. I end attacks of backache and a soreness across my kidneys that made it hard for me to do any stooping or lifting work. My kidneys acted irregularly, but Donn's Pills bought at Anaheim's Pharmacy, soon rid me of the backache and put my kidneys in good condition. I always recommend Donn's, for I know they are just as represented." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Donn's Pills—the same that Mr. Jordan had.

Where the Railroad Dollar Goes Practically all the money the railroads take in is immediately put back into circulation. Railroads do a large volume of business on a narrow margin of net income. Out of every dollar earned from operation by the railways of the United States, there was absorbed in 1922, by Wages and Salaries ... 44.4 cents Fuel ... 9.4 " Other operating and maintenance expenses (including such items as rails and ties, loss and damage) ... 25.6 " Taxes ... 5.4 " Hire of equipment and joint facility rents ... 1.5 " Net operating income ... 13.7 " 100.00 " Out of this 13.7 cents of net operating income, 12.2 cents went for interest on bonds and other fixed charges, leaving 1.5 cents for stockholders. Adding 6.9 cents of income from outside sources, net corporate income was 8.4 cents, of which 4.9 cents was paid in dividends, leaving 3.5 cents Wages and Salaries ... 44.4 cents Fuel ... 9.4 " Other operating and maintenance expenses (including such items as rails and ties, loss and damage) ... 25.6 " Taxes ... 5.4 " Hire of equipment and joint facility rents ... 1.5 " Net operating income ... 13.7 " Out of this 13.7 cents of net operating income, 12.2 cents went for interest on bonds and other fixed charges, leaving 1.5 cents for stockholders. Adding 6.9 cents of income from outside sources, net corporate income was 8.4 cents, of which 4.9 cents was paid in dividends, leaving 3.5 cents available for appropriations and surplus. Gross earnings of the railroads in 1922 were $'567,000,-000 more than in 1917. This $1,567,000,000 and more too, was immediately paid out again, as follows: $918,000,000 in added wages to railroad employees 135,000,000 in added cost of coal, mostly miners' wages 122,000,000 for additional taxes 500,000,000 additional for materials and supplies largely representing wages The stockholders and bondholders of the railroads got none of the increase. It is significant that good times are always coincident with heavy buying on the part of the railroads and that bad times are periods of light railway purchases. The Union Pacific System is one of the most important enterprises west of the Missouri River. Its nearly 50,000 employees, and their families, constitute a buying power which is the main reliance of many businesses. The purchases of the Union Pacific System from firms located on the System, or which have offices on our lines, aggregate millions of dollar each month. The railways are planning to spend hundreds of millions of new money during 1924 to better serve the public. "Our transportation movement during 1923 is the outstanding industrial accomplishment of the year. The waste of the year 1920, with its car shortage, its derangements of price levels, stoppage of industry, probably amounted to not less than a billion of dollars, and the American people and no economic fabric could have stood that loss that did not have a total income in excess of sixty billions. One great contribution to the business stability of the past year has been the fact that we have had a free and regular and orderly movement of transportation." — From address by Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover, January 9, 1924. C. R. GRAY Omaha, Nebraska President. February 1, 1924.
