TAKE STEPS TO FIGHT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE H. E. Wahlberg Lining Up Orange County Against It. Stressing the seriousness of the situation and calling attention to the fact that there are more than 10,000 cases of the disease in the northern section of the state, J. J. Frey, state dairy inspector with headquarters in San Francisco, appointed H. E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, to conduct a vigorous publicity campaign in Orange county in an effort to prevent spread of hoof and mouth disease. "Thus far," said Wahlberg, "we have no record of any cases of this disease in cattle in this county, but I have been requested by Frey to take charge of a publicity campaign to keep our ranchers advised as to this menace. "With G.. H. Hecko, state director of agriculture, heading the fight in California, every effort will be made to confine the disease to northern counties. The fight centers in Alameda county, with four counties now under strict quarantine and 17 others under provisional quarantine. President Coolidge and his cabinet are giving this question serious consideration. I understand, and state and federal authorities will co-operate to wipe it out as speedily as possible." Wahlberg issued the following advice to cattle owners: "Don't concern yourself as to your neighbor's cattle. 'Don't allow your neighbor, or any other person in your cattle or hog yards. 'Don't feed raw milk from creamery to your calves. 'Keep calf buyers and cow buyers out of pens. 'Keep dogs and cats away from chasing from abroad in increasing volume. The official figures show this and the Department of Commerce official should have known it, probably did know it, and probably so stated, his statement quite likely being distorted by this free trade newspaper. The figures are there for those who will read. Imports today are 100 per cent greater than they were 10 years ago." LOSS FROM MOTOR ACCIDENTS The economic loss from motor vehicle accidents in the city of Los Angeles during 1923 was nearly $4,000,000, according to figures just compiled by the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This estimate is based on the table of the National Safety Council which fixes the average economic value of males each year at from $350 to $750 and females from $150 to $300. Motor vehicles were responsible for 43 per cent of the 486 accidental fatalities and 10 per cent of the 60,750 non-fatal but more or less disabling injuries. The economic loss from total fatalities was $5,421,100. The auto's part in this loss was $2,313,073 with 219 deaths. The total economic loss from all non-fatal accidents was $16,263,300, of which 10 per cent is charged against motor vehicles. The total economic loss to Los Angeles in 1923 from accidents, most of which were preventable, was $21,684,400. The Automobile Club calls attention to the fact that while these figures are large, they do not take into consideration the automobiles smashed, machinery broken, doctors' bills, medicines and a myriad of other expenses brought on by accidents. Neither is the human suffering a chilling factor in the cause they refuse to face. CHILDREN MURDER THE STAR "Your children Stars and Stripes. This, in effect faced Ralph E. Eighth street.

"Don't allow your neighbor, or any other person in your cattle or hog yards." "Don't feed raw milk from creamery to your calves." "Keep calf buyers and cow buyers out of pens." "Keep dogs and cats away from cattle." "Remove all manure from corrals." "Supply all new milkers with clean, fresh clothing and disinfect by boiling the clothing." "If you see any symptoms of sore feet or sore mouth strange to you, call a veterinarian." IMPORTS INCREAS 100 PER CENT IN A DECADE A New York paper speaks of a Department of Commerce official expressing his belief that "the idea that we could continue to sell abroad in adequate volume without at the same time showing any disposition to buy the products of other countries has for the most part been abandoned," and he adds that we "should take some of the goods Germany has to offer." "If the Washington Government has reached the conclusion that it would be well for us to buy more heavily of Germany it will, of course, at the first favorable opportunity reduce our existing rates of duty on a considerable number of articles," says the New York paper, which is a free trader. One wonders if these folks ever read the official figures of our foreign trade. The total increase in imports from all sources, 1923 over 1922, was about $6800,000,000, or from $3,113,000,000 to $3,792,000,000. That does not display any "disposition" not to buy the products of other countries. The increase in purchases from Europe totaled $167,000,000; from North America $179,000,000; from South America $108,000,000; from Asia $183,000,000; from Oceania $11,000,000; and from Africa $23,000,000. These increases were recorded despite the fact that in 1923 we were operating under the Republican tariff policy, while the Democratic tariff law was in effect nine month of 1922. Every European country of large importance commercially scored gains in the American market. UNITED STATES RECEIVES MILLIONS FROM LANDS Enormous revenues have been secured by the United States government in the sale of its public lands, according to a tabulation just completed by the Department of the Interior through the general office. The figures representing receipts and expenditures since the beginning of the nation's history up to June 30, 1923, show that the net profits amount to $339,411,874. The aggregate receipts from the sale of public lands total $419,300,484 exclusive of sale of public Indian lands, while the expenditures reached $151,888,609. No other country in the world, it is believed, has ever made so much money out of its public domain. In addition the tabulation shows that the government has paid out $88,157,389 for purchase and cessions of lands of its public domain, and has paid to the Indians in quieting and purchasing their titles to portions of public lands as well as annuities a total of $208,776,031. IMPORTANCE OF WEATHER BUREAU An examination of any newspaper or of many farm or trade papers reveals the great importance now given to the work of the Weather Bureau, a service which only a comparatively few years ago was looked upon with amusement and was spoken of derisively as "Old Probabilities." Now there are few industries which do not at some season receive valuable assistance through regular or special reports usually is acquainted with the bare prediction which appears in the rope totaled $167,000,000; from North America $179,000,000; from South America $108,000,00; from Asia $183,000,000; from Oceania $11,000,000; and from Africa $23,000,000. These increases were recorded despite the fact that in 1923 we were operating under the Republican tariff policy, while the Democratic tariff law was in effect nine month of 1922. Every European country of large importance commercially scored gains in the American market, comparing 1923 with the year before. In millions of dollars the gain of Belgium was from 64 to 68, including a $10,000,000 increase in imports of glass; from Denmark 4 to 6.6, butter being the chief increase; from France 143 to 159; Italy 64 to 92; Netherlands 64 to 78; Norway 15 to 20; Spain 28 to 31; Sweden 33 to 3; United Kingdom 357 to 404, cotton textiles showing a five-fold increase over 1913. With respect to Germany imports increased from 117 to 161 millions of dollars, which was but 23 millions less than in 1913, notwithstanding the turbill, demoralizations, and economic chaos which has existed in that country since the war. When it is borne in mind that an American dollar today possesses a far larger purchasing power in Germany than it did in 1913, this means a volume of sales to us greatly exceeding that of 1913. There will be no necessity for reducing the duties on goods imported from Europe, and it would result in depression at home if we did so. Our exports increased all along the line. Exports to Germany totaled $317,000,000 in value compared with $217,000,000 in 1913. We are continuing to sell abroad in adequate volume and we are pur- An examination of any newspaper or of many farm or trade papers reveals the great importance now given to the work of the Weather Bureau, a service which only a comparatively few years ago was looked upon with amusement and was spoken of derisively as "Old Probabilities." Now there are few industries which do not at some season receive valuable assistance through regular or special reports usually is acquainted with the bare prediction which appears in the newspaper, on a bulletin board or postcard, or is received by telegraph, telephone, or radio, but the work of the Weather Bureau, as outlined in the recent report by the chief to the Secretary of Agriculture, represents complicated and extensive investigations, some of them to provide the data on which to base predictions and come designed to provide new information and develop new methods. New inventions in other fields have brought new demands for weather information, and, as compensation, some of them have proved useful to the meteorologist. Two of these inventions which have made new demands and have provided assistance are the airplane and the radio. The airplane has been used to study the upper air and the radio now carries forecasts and storm warnings. A whole new service is now provided for those who navigate the air. L'HOMME GALANT A Frenchman was courting an English girl. Her mother said, mischievously: "Now monsieur, if my daughter and I were both drowning, which would you save first?" With great presence of mind he replied: "I would save madame and I would perish with mademoiselle!" CHILDREN MUST SALUTE THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER Religious Fanatics in Santa Ana Given Ultimatum "Your children must salute the Stars and Stripes!" This, in effect, was the edict that faced Ralph E. Crandall, 1811 West Elghth street, Santa Ana. At a meeting of the board of education, J. A. Cranston, superintendent of city schools, received instructions to cause Crandall's children to be cited into the juvenile court as incorrigibles unless they in future join other pupils in the Franklin school in the morning salutation to the colors. Superintendent Cranston called the board's attention to the asserted refusal of the Crandall children's parents to permit them to salute the American flag. The superintendent recounted that this was detrimental to the best interests of school discipline. There are understood to be four children. According to a statement made by Miss Lottie Sweet, principal of the Franklin school, the parents' objection to their children saluting the flag is based purely on religious principles. She said that they assert that the saluting of the Stars and Stripes places the flag above God, and that, in effect, they do not approve of it. It has been the custom to permit the Crandall children to remain in the school room when salutation exercises are held outside, or outside the school room when the courtesy is inside the school building, Miss Sweet said. According to Cranston, the Crandalls during the war were halled before the county council of defense because they refused to recognize the approval at the May primaries would be equivalent to a vote of no confidence in the man who is the leader of the Republican party. California is preeminently a great Republican state, and I refuse to believe that there is the slightest probability of your voting no confidence in our Republican President." "No President in the same length of time has more completely won the confidence of the people. His message to Congress may well be the party platform, his sturdy simplicity the party's chief asset and his courageous and unequivocal utterances our answer to the unavailing attacks of the opposition. Farmer, student, statesman; kindly in character, unassuming and unafraid, we may well be proud to follow where he leads."—Mark L. Requa, in his opening address at the State Conference of Coolidge Clubs. "Coming down to this administration as a heritage from the preceding one is the proposal that we join the World Court. For the promulgation of his views on this matter President Harding undertook his fatal journey. Were I to prophesy I should say that the agreement of the United States to enter the World Court, already in existence and having the support of fifty-four counties or states, is the paramount issue to the women of this country. Not that they belittle the economic and domestic problems that confront us as a nation; not that they do not approve the reduction of taxes; not that they are blind to the needs of education and welfare, but that they hate war with a deadly hatred, and are organizing to make their views on armed conflict felt in the world of men." In every little hamlet in this countryside... places the nag above God, and that, in effect, they do not approve of it. It has been the custom to permit the Crandall children to remain in the school room when salutation exercises are held outside, or outside the school room when the courtesy is inside the school building, Miss Sweet said. According to Cranston, the Crandalls during the war were haled before the county council of defense because they refused to recognize the flag. The superintendent pointed out that school laws required pupils to salute the Stars and Stripes, and that the Crandall children should be made either to obey the law or placed in the detention home. COOLIDGE'S RECORD Emphasizing the importance of electing a Coolidge delegation in California at the May primaries, Mark L. Roqua, in his opening address at the state conference in San Francisco last Monday said: "Any action upon the part of the Republicans of California less than NOTICE INVITING BIDS Pursuant to a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors, adopted February 26th, 1924, directing this notice.
