Balanced Program Of Farm Products Bankers' Association Endorses Plan to Aid Farmers (From California Cultivator) It is the opinion of the bankers of California, expressed through their officials and personally at the recent convention of the California Bankers' Association at Santa Barbara, that "a balanced program of farm production is what is needed in California." More of the time of the convention was given to discussion of agriculture than any one subject, indicating the importance of the industry in California from the banker's viewpoint. In his address Leo S. Chandler, retiring president of the association, said in regard to agriculture: "California is an agricultural state and therefore your association should give much time and study to the further development of our agricultural resources, the annual money value of which is approximately $425,000,000 Every reasonably well-informed man knows that the prosperity of our cities is in about a direct proportion to the prosperity of our farms, and yet, I venture the statement, comparatively few of us realize what a large increase in the volume of general business is accounted for by a small increase in the net return per acre. "Edwin T. Meredith has stated, 'It is a fact that $1 an acre is enough to spell the difference between success or failure of your customers, whether or not they are going to pay your loans.' But, unfortunately, the average farmer and average banker know little or nothing about net returns per acre. True the farmer knows the date upon which his note will fall due and the banker knows he will be called upon to extend payment, but when the due date arrives neither the farmer nor the banker can satisfactorily explain the failure to pay. "How could it be otherwise under a system of farm management and credit undertake such a service. Because of their influence in the community and because of the facilities at their command, we felt that accurate financial records could be kept by this means which would help in solving many of the perplexing problems in the farm organization." The boys' and girls' club work showed an enrollment of 3304 boys and girls in 407 clubs in 41 counties of California. Two hundred and thirty purebred bulls were placed during 1924 and 52-067 cows tested. From this number 4953 cows were culled. In concluding his report Mr. Dinsmore briefly summarized some of the high spots in California's agriculture. The total value of farm property in California is three and a half billion dollars. In stressing the importance of this great investment he said: "The prosperity of every business man depends on that of the farmer. Every banker will usually agree to that. According to the census with an investment of $78,000,000,000, the farmers of the entire country are producing over $14,000,000,000 worth of crops, or a gross return of about 19 per cent. This wealth is certainly widely distributed and gives an impetus to the business of the country at large. "Agriculture is in for better times and the farmer's dollar is on the upgrade. At this time our country is not confronted with a large surplus of agricultural products, and the spring opens with better prospects than the farmers have had for several years. However, there should not be any attempt at large increased production at this time. The one-crop system is still unassured and always will be except in the few localities where nothing else is possible or where some industries are specialized. In other words, a balanced program of farm production is what is needed for agriculture in California." 20 YEARS AGO IN MOTORDOM A news item of 20 years back speaks of an automobile manufacturing company as the largest auto makers in the Tourist Industry Coming to California Of 1100 With out-of-statetering Southern Californias 1100 per day, this year will not ever before, but with last year, predicts of the Automobile California.

Steredin has stated it is a fact that $1 an acre is enough to spell the difference between success or failure of your customers, whether or not they are going to pay your loans." But, unfortunately, the average farmer and average banker know little or nothing about net returns per acre. True the farmer knows the date upon which his note will fall due and the banker knows he will be called upon to extend payment, but when the due date arrives neither the farmer nor the banker can satisfactorily explain the failure to pay. "How could it be otherwise under a system of farm management and credit extension, neither one of which is based upon any account of past performances or estimates of future profit? However, you cannot blame the farmer entirely, he is no bookkeeper, and does not want to be, but the banker is a bookkeeper, and is in a position to suggest that the farmer should be." "The time to suggest accurate accounting in all of its agricultural phases is before the loan is made, so that you may be able to say to the farmer on pay day what you would say to the merchant who asks for renewals, namely, 'From what sources did you derive your gross income; what are the chief items of your operating expenses; and what is the net return for the period covered?' Farming is practically the only business which is not conducted on some basis of accounting and there is little reason to believe it will be so conducted until an operating statement is made the basis of farm credit. "Thanks to the very efficient work of your agricultural committee, many farms and many bankers have been persuaded to adopt some form of farm accounting, and it is to be hoped that you will continue to support the committee in charge of this most important business in farming." Mr. Chandler's entire address was optimistic. He called attention to many favorable business conditions clearly showing that prosperity was on the increase in agriculture, manufacturing, foreign trade, and that there was a greater public confidence in the future of farming, trade and business than had obtained for several years. One entire day was devoted primarily to the discussion of agricultural subjects—crops, diversification, farm loans, credits, farm accounting and subjects that would enable the banker to render more service to farmers and farming. The industriousness, the frugality of farming were lauded and the accomplishments of agriculture under any and all conditions were highly praised. The one large thought that is in the banker's mind is an unselfish thought and it is for the producer's own best interest. Its adoption would help him more than it would the banker, namely, a system of farm accounting that would be accurate and easily maintained and one that would show the same items that the books of any business house show—resources, liabilities, profits, losses, gross and net income, operating expenses, etc. Such a system of accounting would not be difficult to maintain, the bankers believe. They are anxious and willing. 20 YEARS AGO IN MOTORDOM A news item of 20 years back speaks of an automobile manufacturing company as the largest auto makers in the world with a daily output of 45 machines. After various means of timing speeding automobiles were used by the Pasadena police, such as attempting to keep up with a car on a bicycle while holding a watch in one hand, said by posting officers with timepieces at each end of a measured distance on a road, the city commissioners authorized the purchase of two stop-watches for the police department to use in such work. As a pioneer movement in the cause of good roads, the following provisions of a Riverside county ordinance of 20 years ago is chronicled in the Automobile Club of Southern California files: "Every person who cuts, digs up, breaks or otherwise injures, damages or destroys any of the macadamized or oiled roads of this county by running, driving or transporting over, on, along or across the same, any disk, harrow, toothed roller, gang plow or any other implement or machine that has cutting or tearing surface, which come in contact with said roads, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, is punishable by a fine of not more than $100." L. L. Whitman, who made the remarkable record of driving an automobile from San Francisco to New York City in 33 days, nearly half of the former 61-day record, said no horses were frightened so that no damage resulted during their trip, and that he stopped many times for teams to pass, and usually led timid horses past. He said he had no sympathy for smart alceks who rush over the roads, scarring teams into ditches. When hailed into court they ought to have their cars taken away, he said, and be given a pair of wild horses to drive in the face of one of the "red devils coming down the middle of the road with a fool at the wheel." WARNS OF LIEN LAW PROVISIONS Unless prospective builders thoroughly understand the operations of the lien laws, they may be forced to pay twice for the material in their home or building, according to G. B. Schneider, manager of the Washington Iron Works, plumbing fixture manufacturers of Los Angeles. "According to this law, even though one local firm will be except in the few localities where nothing else is possible or where some industries are specialized.

B. Schneider, manager of the Washington Iron Works, plumbing fixture manufacturers of Los Angeles. "According to this law, even though you have paid the contract plumber or other workers on your building, even though you have a receipt or canceled check proving that you have paid in full for materials used, you may still be obligated to pay for the same materials a second time." Schneider states "Under the lien law, the owner of the building is responsible for payment of all materials used. If the plumber or contractor employed by the owner does not pay the man who sold him the materials, this man has a right to collect from the owner, even though the owner may have already paid the lumber merchant or contractor for that material." Another frequent loss sustained by experienced builders is that of buying plumbing fixtures and then discovering, after installation, that the fixtures are defective. Heretofore, owners have had no recourse in such cases, but since the Washington Iron Works now issues a written guarantee with each fixture, agreeing to replace it free of charge should it develop defects after installation, the owner can protect himself by insisting on a written guarantee when he purchases plumbing fixtures. Every builder should protect himself from paying twice for his materials or plumbing fixtures by engaging a thoroughly responsible contractor and plumber and by asking for a bond to cover the work. Questions as to the reliability of your contractor will be answered by the Chamber of Commerce, Builders Exchange, prosecuting attorneys, Washington Iron Works and other established manufacturers." If old Noah had only refused to take that pair of monkeys on the ark all of this Tennessee trouble could have been avoided.

Tourist Invasion Bigger Than Ever Coming to California at the Rate Of 1100 per Day With out-of-state motor tourists entering Southern California at the rate of 1100 per day, the motorist invasion this year will not only be bigger than ever before, but will be twice as large as last year, predicts the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This average daily rate of 1100 motorists a day, according to the auto club touring bureau, is 33 per cent greater than last year, and about 100 per cent better than the 1923 figures. The check up of motorists crossing the border into the Southland includes all the main transcontinental highways, according to the club. The figures that have been reported to the auto club show that approximately 150,000 automobiles have entered the southern territory since the first of the year, which averaging four persons to a car, would bring the number of persons who have invaded this section to approximately 600,000. An interesting sideline on this phenomenal motor tourist influx is the estimate on the amount of money that is spent by these autoists in Southern California. From previous years' investigations, it is shown that the visiting motorists remain an average of 72 days in the Southland during a six months' period. On this basis, and on the conservative estimate of $4 spent by each person a day, it is shown that approximately $172,800,000 will have been spent by the touring motorists by July 1, 1925. Don Dolg, manager of the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California, points out that his department is answering more than 200 letter inquiries from out of the state per day. The letters asking about transcontinental routes, motoring conditions and relative circumstances in Southern California, come from all parts of the world, with Mississippi river ter- NOTICE INVITING SEALED BIDS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that sealed bids will be received by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim at the office of the City Clerk of said City up to Thursday, the 2nd day of July, 1925, at one o'clock, P.M. for furnishing certain printing, publishing, and advertising for the City of Anaheim; for the period beginning at the date of the awarding of the contract, and ending April 30, 1926.

Attorneys for Plaintiff. 5-21-9t THE PATH TO PEACE Practical-minded people everywhere will readily agree with the President that if ever the world is to have peace it will come by reason rather than force. In his recent address at Annapolis, Mr. Coolidge made it clear that he does not believe in a high state of preparedness for war as a certain preventive for that calamity. The nation that arms itself to the teeth and thereby sets an example to all other nations, be intimated, merely enters a competition that inevitably results in open conflict and disaster. It is necessary, the President asserted, to exercise a reasonable regard for safety and to that extent maintain an adequate army and navy as a protection for the nation in times of danger, but "we do not believe in or wish to bear the expense to maintain large standing military forces." In another part of his address the President said: "If we are to promote peace on earth we much have a great deal more than the power of the sword. We must call into action again the spiritual and moral forces of mankind." It would be impossible to state a case more succinctly than Mr. Coolidge has presented it in those words. When we begin to think of war in its moral and spiritual aspects rather than in terms of the largest armies and navies, then there will be marked progress toward the great desire of all humanity. The world wants peace, and as soon as the path to peace has become plainly blazed by men and women who abhor force as a substitute for reason, the people of all civilized nations will tread that path. In what Mr. Coolidge said at Annapolis we can find no note of supine pacifism. While aiming at peace, the President makes a virile argument for that quality of Americanism that represents potential man power, adequate military organizations and the individual ability to defend and preserve our national traditions. There is nothing aggressively militaristic in the proposal; should be no NOTICE CALLING FOR BIDS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the City of Anaheim proposes to sell for cash, in lawful money of the United States, a certain promissory note for the sum of Twenty-seven Thousand Four Hundred Forty-seven and 75-100 ($27,447.75) Dollars, executed on April 18, 1924, by J.

MODERN LABOR MOVEMENT "The labor movement in this country is so far in advance of that in any other country as to make comparison impossible," says The North Shore Bulletin. "In European countries, including Great Britain, labor organizations and labor leaders are still pursuing antiquated methods that are comparable to the attempt of a man to lift himself by his boot-straps." "Here they are using the fulcrum of capital ownership and are actually lifting themselves into positions of well-being that amount to affluence in comparison with conditions of European laborers." "Instead of fighting capital they are beginning to recognize its power and to use it as an implement for their own improvement." "There are at least three kinds of evidence that indicate roughly the extent to which laborers are becoming their own capitalists in this country; first, the rapid growth of savings deposits; second, the investment by laborers in shares of corporations; third, the growth of labor banks."
