Listens to Radio; Gib Gets Homesick Writes Letter From Colorado, Telling Us His Troubles Denver, Colo., May 22, 1925 Mr. Henry Kuchel, Anaheim, California. Dear Henry:—I was shown a little article the other day, wherein you recognized my sweet voice after five years' absence. This period of absence was not five years, but over 15 years. Like yourself, I am sometimes made homesick by listening to the Los Angeles radios. Lately I listened to a Placentia program over KFI that made me somewhat homesick. We both remember when there was not very much out the "other side of the sand wash," except J. K. Tuffree, Col. Bill MacFadden, William Crowther and Old Man Kraemer. That was the time when Wesley Alms, Jud Jaqua, Attillo Pierotti and a few other young "bloods" used to play the big horns in Nick Bittner's band. Before the Amerige boys started Fullerton and before Herman Stern was the big "noise" in Anaheim's big orange show. Not long ago I listened to an Orange County Chamber of Commerce program, and enjoyed it, also to Steve Brodie's radio party that he gave the old-timers. Tomorrow Mrs. Landell is going to Pasadena for a couple of months. I certainly wish I were going along. You would be surprised to hear the fine reception we get here of the Los Angeles radio programs. Along about 11 o'clock, when the big eastern stations and our fine local station KOA have all gone to sleep, we just tune in on KLIJ or KFI and have lots of enjoyment. We are finely situated for radio reception here. We sometimes get the Atlantic coast, but usually we get in succession Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Deirolt, Chicago, Minneapolis, Davenport, Hastings, Kansas City and the southern stations; lately New Orleans is fine. KGO is pretty good, but Portland is faint and Seattle is only to DON'T LIKE THE TONE Our friends abroad, in high diplomatic posts, are reported to be disturbed over the form of the latest messages from Washington intimating that the time has arrived when they should begin to either pay us what they owe or explain the delay. Their criticism, voiced in their official newspapers, is that we have re-adopted the old plan of shirt-sleeve democracy. They admit the debt, but argue that it is not nice on the part of the United States and that it is in violation of diplomatic usages, for a demand for payment to be made in such form. President Coolidge, for his part, is not apt to be disturbed or affected by any charge of this nature. If asking a debtor for payment, or at least his plans for payment, is shirt-sleeve diplomacy, it would seem it is a wise move. The money loaned to these several nations was earned by men in shirt sleeves and at times, with even less clothing, and there is a sense of fitness in going after the recovery of this money after the manner in which it was first earned. A too lenient creditor can often do more harm to the debtor than one who presses for his account. There is not crossroads in the entire nation but possesses at least one man who has been made useless because those who have helped him through sympathy have failed to enforce repayment. Nations, after all, are only aggregations of humans, and the same rule holds. The people in all the countries in question are sturdy, upstanding in their own right. They are anxious to pay, but it is the politicians over them who are making this unfair gesture of dissolution to meet the obligations. France has been suffering from a case of "politicianitis." Her politicians have not played the game fair with the citizens of France. The French, a turdy and industrious race of people, when one talks with them, are not in favor of the evasion of any debt. The politicians in France, incredible as it may seem, have not realized the moral utterness of purpose of the French people. This is where their psychology is at fault. The pathway of Minister of Finance Mallaux is not one of roses, for he has assumed office after the socialists, DON'T A NEW GREAT Gov. Friend has nounced that he honors from the attic to the gas taxeral holds that present 2-cent gasoline free from September 30.

KGO is pretty good, but Portland is faint and Seattle is only to be heard once in a while. So you see one has a choice. Last night I heard the birds in KHJ like they were in the room. I use an Atwater Kent with General Electric loud speaker. I was surprised to read that Mr. Melrose had passed on. I had not heard of it. He was always mighty kind to me and I loved Mrs. Melrose. I knew that she had passed away I certainly would like to see Lizzie. She certainly used to feed me when I was a kid. I hear that Charlie is a grave and reverend judge! My boy just graduated from the local high school with very high football honors, but I fear his scholarship is rather minus. He writes fair English, however, and that is something. My girl went through the University of Wisconsin and Colorado University. She teaches school. I have had a great deal of comfort out of my children, who have never yet made me an uncomfortable moment. That's going some, for they are full of life and pep. Gib Junior, is very ambitious, but it's all along the line of athletics. He looks very much like I did at his age. I have since increased my waist measure a couple of feet. Mrs. Landell is very well and much younger than I am. We are now a subsidiary of the Carination Company, and I manage this division. I was at Seattle last fall, when Washington played a tie, and you ought to hear me yell for Young Jabb's touchdown. My kid is hardly as big, but you ought to see him run a ball down a broken field. He will go to Colorado Aggies this winter. We are having the most severe drought that was ever known here, and I do not know how the state will survive it. The streams are all dried up, and only four inches of rain and snow has fallen in 11 months. This is very disastrous, for this state is getting to be a great agricultural region. Crops are certainly wonderful here, usually. In grain, sugar beets and alfalfa we make you Californians look like pikers. It would do me a lot of good to walk down the street in Anaheim and say "hello" to a lot of the old-timers. Don't they get pretty dry? When I think of the good old schooners at Fritz Rhueman's, it makes my mouth water. But I suppose it's for the best. But it must be pretty tough on Julius Schneider, Otto Rust, Herman Stern, Harry Whitaker, Herman Dickel and about 500 others. We have been dry here so long that we are used to it. You have to hunt pretty hard to get a drink in Colo- 1925 Sugar Supply Breaks All Records During 1925 the world's population probably will eat more sugar than ever before in history; says "Facts About Sugar," the trade authority on this subject. At least they will have the opportunity to do so, for production this season has broken all previous records. The world crop, most of which is already made, is estimated at over 25,000,000 tons. This is an increase of more than 3,000,000 tons over last year's production, which was the largest crop ever made up to that time. While almost every part of the world has shared in the increased output, the largest gain has been made in those countries which supply the sugar used in the United States. This country is not only the largest consumer of sugar of any nation of the world, but it ranks next to Cuba as largest producer. Its crop this year is nearly 2,500,000 tons. Sugar is grown under the American flag in Louisiana, Texas and Florida, in 16 sugar beet growing states from Ohio and Michigan in the East to California and Washington in the West, in Hawaii the Philippines, Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. All of these together do not supply enough to satisfy the American sweet tooth, and the balance of the country's requirements comes mainly from Cuba, which enjoys the benefit of the American protective tariff to the extent of being allowed to import its sugar at 30 per cent less than is required to meet the obligations. France has been suffering from a case of "politicianitis." Her politicians have not played the game fair with the citizens of France. The French, a turdy and industrious race of people, often one talks with them, are not in favor of evasion of any debt. The politicians in France, incredible as it may seem, have not realized the moral certainness of purpose of the French people. This is where their psychology is at fault. The pathway of Minister of Finance Mallaux is not one of roses, for he has assumed office after the socialists, communists and other radical forces of France have placed upon the backs of the French people a burden for which there was no necessity. It is not to be thought for a moment that the reported plan of the payment if our debt being contingent upon the payments made by Germany to France will be accepted by the debt commission of this country. Were the United States to become a party to such an agreement we would be placed in the position of a collector of reparations from Germany. The American position as outlined by Mr. Coolidge consists of sympathetic consideration for Europe, but it nevertheless recognizes the fact that Europe must cease orating and help shoulder own responsibilities. She must put aside the paraphernula of war and must garb herself in the garments worn when industrial and economic rehabilitations are to be effected. "The date within the connection is that the act by the acting effect of this section 3 of that tax of 2 cents distributors of money cease to exist, bill substitutes present tax provides that be payable until consequence. There will be a two months duration will be payable."

You have to hunt pretty hard to get a drink in Colorado. No fooling! I'd like to see your kids. They must be a lot of help to you. This is Saturday afternoon. All the girls are gone, and I am picking out one on one finger. I guess that is plain to see. Give my love to Lute. I bet she is as good looking as ever. If you can persuade her to write a little note for you to me once in a while I would appreciate it. It will be somewhat lonely this summer with Mrs. Landell alone. She has had word that her brother-in-law, Charlie Blxby, is dangerously ill in Pasadena, and is leaving a little sooner than she anticipated. Catherine will keep house for me. Kindly remember me to my old friends, and particularly to the Melroses. Yours very truly, GILBERT LANDELL. MRS. LAWTON GRADUATES Mrs. Elizabeth A. Lawton, formerly a well-known and highly esteemed resident of Orange county, is among the graduates of the Southern California University Law School, where she has been a student for several years past. She has been given the degree of Bachelor of Laws and will practice her profession in Los Angeles. Mrs. Lawton is a very bright and well informed young lady, and that she will be successful in her new calling there is not the slightest doubt. She has been the recipient of many congratulating letters upon her graduation. She is a frequent visitor to her friends in Orange county; where she always finds a hospitable welcome on the part of her former associates. LAST MEETING OF YEAR Eastside Parent-Teacher Association met at the Central school kindergarten Tuesday afternoon. This being the last meeting of the year, reports were given by the officers and chairmen showing the growth and activities of the different departments. Mrs. Backs gave a report on the state convention held at Fresno, May 12-15. California is again in the lead, having 123,000 members. The three winners in the essay contest on "Wild Flowers" read their essays, Thelma Thayer, Broadway; Ruth Shaffer, Lincoln; and Harriet Hartwell, Central school. It was decided to continue meetings during the summer months, to meet at the homes of the different members. The program and place of meeting to be announced later. From this paragraphs of the fest that they may cover by them should harate legislation be held to be in constitutional brace but one in said paragraphe inter-dependent segregated in be saved. This is in time with the above entitleable for expenment last three paragaps. In the last is provided thereto by the committee and new consordance with filling of the annual supplemen the two paragaps, and it is of the state body that such experincc in accordance.

Richardson has announced that he had received an opinion from the attorney general in regard to the gas tax bill. The attorney general holds that the bill would repeal the present 2-cent gas tax and leave all gasoline free from July 24 to September 30, 1925; that the Senate amendments are unconstitutional, but if they are held valid that all gas money ould be frozen until July, 1925. Governor Richardson said: "The attorney general has handed me a well considered and exhaustive opinion on the gas tax bill. He is positive that 'if the bill is approved, there will be a period of approximately two months during which no tax will be payable.' Of the three paragraphs added to the bill in the Senate and called by me the pork barrel amendments, the attorney general says 'that they must be held to be invalid as violative of the constitutional provision that an act shall embrace but one subject,' but if these paragraphs are valid, he says: 'The money provided in the bill for reconstruction and new construction through the state highway commission would not be available for expenditure until January, 1927.'" "Here is a pretty mess of bungling by legislative legal lights who framed the bungled bill and wrote the bungled pork barrel amendments. If signed, he result would be as follows: 1. Nine weeks when millions of gallons of gasoline sold would escape all tax. 2. The loss of more than eight million of dollars of road money to the counties and the state. 3. The act as written would raise so money until May, 1926, one year hence. 4. Pork barrel amendments so badly hunged as to be unconstitutional. 5. If pork barrel amendments are valid, then all gas money would be frozen and all work stopped until next month." REVIVAL MEETINGS AT NAZARENE CHURCH Rev. and Mrs. Garrette E. Aycock, evangelists of Oklahoma City, are to conduct a revival meeting at the Nazarene tabernacle, beginning Thursday night. Rev. and Mrs. Aycock are well known evangelists in the Nazarene church, having held meetings in practically every state in the Union, resulting in thousands of converts. Rev. Aycock is one of the general officers of the Nazareene Young People's Society, being at the head of the department of evangelism. Although he is yet a young man, he has already made for himself an enviable reputation as an evangelist during the 10 years of his ministry. Mrs. Aycock is a soloist of unusual ability and also a children's worker. Her special object lessons for the children are expected to create much interest here. A feature of the meeting will be the singing of southern melodies by Rev. and Mrs. Aycock together, using their stringed instruments. The meetings are to continue for only 10 days, closing June 7. The public is cordially invited to attend. MUST SHOW CREDENTIALS Being persons of sound sense, no doubt the Californiaans informed that they are heirs to an estate in Australia, worth several millions and left under circumstances that suggest "Uncle Blim" and his fortune, will keep their jobs until they actually get the money. There is nothing unusual in stories of huge fortunes lying around waiting to be claimed, but it is unusual for the claimants to get them. Many lawyers have been enriched by preliminary legal fees from clients that died poor. The time when imagination is excited by such stories of good luck as has come to Joseph Hayes, the Recorder's copylist, and Alma Rubens, Hollywood film actress, is the time when warning should be given generally to persons informed that they are heirs to large estates. Usually the money has been left by an uncle that left Ireland when a lad and, unknown to his family, umassed a fortune and died a bachelor. Southern California Agricultural Crops Nearly $200,000,000 Yielded by Soil Last Year From 1,811,809 acres, Southern California last year produced crops valued at $186,979,908, according to Southern California Business, the official magazine of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. This is a greater total than the combined production of the old agricultural states of New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts, which produced an aggregate of $125,209,525 for the last year for which the United States governmnt figures are available. Los Angeles county alone produced from her farm lands crops valued at $64,780,993, or more than any one of the eastern agricultural states of New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts. These figures are given to straighten out the wrong impression that the average tourist has of Southern California before he has an opportunity to see for himself. It is shown that Southern California, which comprises the counties south of the Tehachapils, last year produced 4,-287,495 tons of produce valued at more than $186,000,000. Over 186,000 acres were devoted to alfalfa alone and 393,-000 acres were given over to other hay crops, making 576,600 acres of hay valued to a total of $42,070,660. Also it is pointed out that last year the table grape crop amounted to $1,-736,000 and the wine grape crop totaled $41,895,500. The statement was made that last year cauliflower brought the growers a total of $1,515,697 and that cantaloupes totaled $5,990,000 while lettuce did even better, the produce totaling $7,926,000. Walnuts topped this figure, reaching $8,488,200. When it comes to citrus fruits, there is another surprise in store, for that crop yielded 20,086,000 boxes of oranges, the growers receiving $42,180,600. There were 5,917,000 boxes of lemons producing in cold cash $14,200,800 and 474,300 Cotton ran up to $14,740,000 while the The statement was made that last year cauliflower brought the growers a total of $1,515,697 and that cantaloupes totaled $5,900,000 while lettuce did even better, the produce totalling $7,926,000.

There were 5,917,000 boxes of lemons producing in cold cash $14,200,800 and 474,300 Cotton ran up to $14,740,000 while the luscious lima bean brought $494,340 and all other beans brought $7,149,810 or a total of over $12,000,000 for the entire bean crop. Crops other than those mentioned in boxes of grapefruit yielded $1,135,750. In other words, the citrus crop of Southern California alone brought the growers an aggregate of $57,517,850. The aggregate bring the total for Southern California as stated to more than $186,000,000 yearly and it exceeds the combined production of several well-known agricultural states of the East. STATE WOMAN HONORED Californians will be proud of the honor that has recently been conferred on Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general of the United States, in recognition of her important work in behalf of prison reform. Mrs. Willebrandt has been especially influential in bringing about reforms long needed at the federal prison in Atlanta, Ga., and in the establishment of an industrial institution to be built for women prisoners at Alderson, W. Va., and this outstanding service has been acknowledged by the national committee on prisons and prison labor awarding Mrs. Willebrandt a medal for the most important prison work during the year 1924. Added to native ability and good legal training, Mrs. Willebrandt possesses marvelous energy and enthusiasm and no amount of discouragement or hard work will turn her from a cause to which she has committed herself. Those who know of Mrs. Willebrandt's untiring efforts in behalf of bettering prison conditions can appreciate how gratifying it is to her to see her laborious work bearing such constructive results. While the work is the thing that counts with Mrs. Willebrandt, her friends are glad that she has been given public recognition for her splendid achievements. Mrs. Willebrandt is well known to many people here, having lived for many years on a ranch near Buena Park during her childhood and girlhood days. known in college athletics and will undoubtedly be successful in his chosen profession. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum are preparing to leave, about June 20, for a trip to Alaska. They will be absent about four months. mission of a budget to the legislature refers to a budget which comprehends proposed expenditures by the commission from any and all statutory funds available for new construction and reconstruction and detailed program of all highways to be constructed or reconstructed without regard to the sources of the payments thereof. "From this analysis of the last three paragraphs of the bill it is to me manifest that they are concerned with subject matter not cognate to the field covered by the existing statute, that they should have been enacted as separate legislation, and that they must be held to be invalid as violative of the constitutional provision that an act embrace but one subject. The provisions in said paragraphs are so related and inter-dependent that they cannot be segregated in order that some of them be saved." "This is in reply to your inquiry as to the time when the funds created by the above entitled bill would be available for expenditure by the state highway commission, assuming that the last three paragraphs of the bill are valid. In the last paragraph of the bill it is provided that all expenditures made by the commission for reconstruction and new construction shall be n accordance with and contingent upon the filing of the biennial budget and the annual supplemental budget required by the two paragraphs immediately preceding, and it is thereby made the duty of the state board of control to require that such expenditures be actually made in accordance with such budgets. The first supplemental budget would be filed in January, 1926, and the biennial budget would not be filed until January, 1927, the time of the next regular session of the legislature. Therefore, the moneys provided in the bill for reconstruction and new construction through the state highway commission would not be available for expenditure until January, 1927." W. J. B. denies that he has made a million dollars in Florida real estate and says that his profits are only five hundred thousand. Maybe he figures it with the plutocratic surtax deducted.
