CORNER PHILOSOPHY Queens come easy to those who have the Jack! Where ignorance is bliss the taxes are high. You may let well enough alone, but bad enough hardly ever will let you alone. We note that the world reformers seldom or never get together to report progress. Too much rum. Too much gas. Too much speed. Too much crash. Thirty days. Not enough. The fellow who gets music out of a saw doesn't do it with a file. In bootlegging parlance, hi-jack is low game. Anybody can give advice, but only the wise ones can sell it. Small minds make big mistakes; big minds make small ones. Most women look ahead into the sweet buy-and-buy. A hard-boiled boss keeps his men in a stew. The ant may be a model of industry, but there's no market for ant hills. A man wants all he can get. A woman wants all she can't get. The easiest way to handle a traffic cop is to be a female. Five years of Volstead prohibition have passed, confirming the theory that the first 100 years are the hardest. Most girls would sooner be alive and kissing than alive and kicking. Orange to Celebrate Date of Admission The business of "telling the world" about the diamond jubilee celebration to be held at Orange on Admission Day, September 9, is now under full headway, according to V. A. Johnson, secretary of the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce, which organization is sponsoring the local affair. More than 1000 sheet window placards and 5000 handbills are being distributed over the county. In addition, newspapers, not only in Orange county but in adjoining counties as well, are being furnished with publicity matter concerning the celebration. Later, Mr. Johnson announced, display advertisements will augment the newspaper publicity in the same publications. At a meeting Wednesday night, the "Committee of Twenty," named by the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association to raise funds for the celebration, decided on a plan to segregate the town into districts for purposes of the fund campaign. The members will start out this week on a speedy drive to raise the $1000 necessary to complete financing of the event. The $1000 thus collected will be added to the $560 appropriated by the city council and a like amount contributed by the county supervisors, thereby making a total of $2000, which amount, it is estimated, will cover the total expenditures required to make the affair a success. TAX REDUCTION BILL The tax reduction bill, or as it will be officially known, the Revenue Act of 1925, will be formally considered by the members of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives, in which body all revenue measures must originate, on the nineteenth day of October, at which time hearings lasting for 10 days will be held. Numerous individuals, firms, civic and business organizations have already asked for hearings in order that their side of the matter in the reduction of taxes might be fully presented.

A man wants all he can get. A woman wants all she can't get. The easiest way to handle a traffic cop is to be a female. Five years of Volstead prohibition have passed, confirming the theory that the first 100 years are the hardest. Most girls would sooner be alive and kissing than alive and kicking. When a man gets into a pickle, he seldom preserves his temper. Some girls are so hard it takes a diamond to make an impression on them. Love might laugh at locksmiths, but if it laughed at all the Bill Smiths and John Smiths it would get a cracked lip. Better sit in the back row and be discovered than sit up in front and be found out. It would be a lot harder for some people to prove that they didn't have monkey ancestors than that they have. Motorists who drive with bright headlights on crowded roads make even an agnostic believe in a place of future punishment. Show us a man who thinks he understands women and we will show you a gold brick buyer. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead" and find out you forgot something that makes you all wrong. Woman is the weaker vessel, but man gets broke oftener. Too many people remember to multiply their troubles, but forget to add up their blessings. Seeing may be believing, but it's usually wise to have another look. Good nature frequently pays large dividends in good health. A heart of gold won't get you anywhere unless you have your share of brass. Many a happy day has been spoiled by making a night of it. A pretty girl never tells a lie—she merely tells her version of the truth. Never trust a man who can't keep a secret and never trust a woman who can. Grit is excellent everywhere—eyes excepted. Genius, as often as not, is just commonplace talent with a good press agent. The tax reduction bill, or as it will be officially known, the Revenue Act of 1925, will be formally considered by the members of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives, in which body all revenue measures must originate, on the nineteenth day of October, at which time hearings lasting for 10 days will be held. Numerous individuals, firms, civic and business organizations have already asked for hearings in order that their side of the matter in the reduction of taxes might be fully presented. After the hearings have been completed the ways and means committee will go into executive session and formulate a tax reduction bill which will be presented just as soon as congress opens. It is impossible for Chairman Green or any member of the ways and means committee at this time to accurately forecast the amount of tax reduction this bill will carry because all returns of revenues and expenditures have not yet been received and tabulated by the teraury department. These returns, which have had to do with the fiscal year which ended on June 30, take time to gather and compile, and without them it is impossible to do any more than estimate the amounts. Without this data the ways and means committee would be shooting in the dark if it gave out any figure and, while it would be possible to estimate the amount of tax reduction, it would be an estimate pure and simple, and it is not thought wise to give out any figures at this time which might be misleading to the people. Chairman Green has discussed the matter of tax reduction at length with the President and with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, and it is more than likely that a future conference will be held with the Chief Executive and the secretary of the treasury by Mr. Green about October 1, at which time the chairman will have returned to Washington. The public may rest assured that the administration will urge the reduction of taxes to the lowest point possible. NOT DIFFICULT TO PAY Negotiations in Washington between the American and Belgian debt settling commissioners have been temporarily halted. There ought to be no difficulty about the matter if the Belgian representatives are here to act in good faith and not to make a mere gesture or actually attempt to run out on that country's obligations. For certainly, Uncle Sam will not demand of Belgium any stiffer terms than those arranged two years ago with Great Britain. And that calls for Belgian payments of only $20,000,000 a year. Belgium is, in fact, as good if not better position to make such payments than any of Uncle Sam's other European debtors. At the conclusion of the war, she owed Great Britain about $500,000,000 and France $580,000,000.

AREA OF PHILIPPINES The Philippine archipelago has a land area of 115,000 square miles—about that of Italy, or more than equal to the area of the new England states and New York combined. The population of the Filipinos' territory is 12,000,000, the great majority of whom are nominally Christian. In these islands are 63,000-000 acres of the finest virgin land in the tropics, all of which belong to the people of the United States. Our trade with the Philippines amounts to $157-000,000 a year, about 10 per cent of our total trade with the Far East, which reaches a billion and a half dollars annually. The Santa Fe will build a new stucco station at Blythe, Palo Verde valley. Santa Monica, Los Angeles county, will hold its first big dahlia show, September 16-18. For certainly, Uncle Sam will not demand of Belgium any stiffer terms than those arranged two years ago with Great Britain. And that calls for Belgian payments of only $20,000,000 a year. Belgium is, in fact, in as good if not better position to make such payments than any of Uncle Sam's other European debtors. At the conclusion of the war, she owed Great Britain about $500,000,000 and France $580,000,000. But inserted in the treaty of Versailles was this provision: "Germany undertakes... to make reimbursement of all sums which Belgium has borrowed from the Allied governments up to November 11, 1918, together with interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum on such sums." So far as the record shows, that provision has never been modified by subsequent negotiations with Germany or in the Dawes plan. It wiped out Belgium's external obligations, except that to the United States. Payment of the same will not embarrass her. Why should her government hesitate when her honor and reputation for keeping faith are at stake? NEEDLEWORK AT THE "Needlework in Orange county homes."

New Standard Act Is Now in Effect Some Changes in Law Embodied in New State Act Growers and packers of avocados walnuts, oranges, grapes, tomatoes and lettuce are particularly interested in the new California fruit and vegetable standardization act which went into effect on July 24, says the California Cultivator. Although essentially the same as the California fruit and vegetable standardization act of 1921, there have been certain changes made to facilitate enforcement. A new fruit has been added to the list of commodities which come under the requirement of the statute. In some cases the requirements for the packing of fruits and vegetables already included in the act have been changed and terms used in enforcement have been specifically defined. At the request of the avocado growers of the state, avocados have been included in the list of fruits for which certain standards are created. A definite degree of maturity has been defined in that no avocado shall be considered mature until the edible portion shows an oil content of 8 per cent or more by weight by chemical analysis. Walnuts under the new provisions, when sacked for shipment or sale, must be in containers which bear upon them in plain sight the name of the orchard or place where produced, together with the postoffice address or the name and postoffice address of the person, firm, company or corporation who shall have first packed or authorized the packing of same, together with the name of the variety if known, and when not known, the words "unknown variety" must appear, together with the net weight. The name of the state or the foreign country where the nuts were produced must also be shown upon the package in letters not less than one-half inch in height in the English language. The old law did not require any markings on sacked walnuts. Among the interesting exhibits of the year will be five sofa pillows made by a man living in Costa Mesa, who is a returned soldier incapacitated for anything more strenuous than needlework. China painting is as popular as ever and many local women, says Mrs. McConnell, are doing polychrome. AGRICULTURAL AID A year ago President Coolidge appointed an agricultural conference—this body's principal recommendation to congress was for governmental aid in cooperative marketing—this recommendation was not acted upon owing to the fact that congress had, according to law, to adjourn on March 4. There was also another reason and that was the opposition on the part of several of the agricultural and economic bodies who were not satisfied in their own mind as to the particular effectiveness of the proposed measure. In order that congress may have placed before it in plenty of time a measure or measures, Mr. Coolidge will in the near future recall his agricultural conference and discuss with its members matters of legislation along the line of co-operative marketing. This matter is one that spokesman representing farming communities lay the greatest stress upon. The President feels that the conference should have a tangible plan to admit to congress and undoubtedly will indicate to the members of the agricultural conference his desire that a bill be devised that will be a real, not a theoretical, aid to agriculture. New Water District For Garden Grove To provide for better fire protection and a more adequate water supply and to facilitate the growth of the tomato residential districts, the district of Garden Grove will be asked in the near future to sign a petition to the county supervisors, with the view of forming a new water district, according to a statement by Chamber of Commerce committeemen. Garden Grove is served at present by two privately owned water systems, one New Water District For Garden Grove To provide for better fire prevention and a more adequate water supply and to facilitate the growth of the town's residential districts, the citizens of Garden Grove will be asked in the near future to sign a petition to the county supervisors, with the view of forming a new water district, according to a statement by Chamber of Commerce committee. Garden Grove is served at present by two privately owned water systems, one known as the Garden Grove Water Company, the other as the Garden Grove Home Tract system. The new project will involve the purchase of these two systems. The equipment of a more efficient fire-fighting department, the drilling of additional wells and the extension of the service lines are other important steps contemplated. The cost of the completed project is estimated at approximately $60,000. This sum would be raised by direct taxation within the proposed water district. Garden Grove is not incorporated, and probably will not be until more favorable legislation is enacted. It was said under the present law, it was pointed out, no territory may be included in the corporate limits of a town, such as Garden Grove, unless such territory is plotted or subdivided into lots. Much of the area which is to be included in the proposed water district is now occupied as ranch property, which would necessarily be excluded from the incorporation and would therefore contribute nothing to the city in taxes. The new district would be formed under the county water works district act, and would be regulated at the discretion of the county supervisors. If the new district is formed as contemplated at present, it will affect an area of irregular outline approximately one mile square. It will include about 50 per cent more territory than is now served by the two watering systems. CHURCH NOTICE Services of Maxwell's Spiritual church at Sycamore and Olive.

Cost Last Year of State Government Total Expenditures for Fiscal Year $73,796,620.19 The cost of the state government of California for the seventy-sixth fiscal year, ended June 30, 1925, was $73,796,-620.19, according to the figures taken from the general fund control ledger of the state controller's office, which figures were issued by State Controller Ray L. Riley. This figure is compared with $63,784,350.87, which was the cost of government for the seventy-fifth fiscal year, ended June 30, 1924, making an increase of $10,012,270.04. The total expenditures of state government for the fiscal year just closed were $103,725,003.80. From this total State Controller Riley has deducted $29,-928,382.89 as money derived from bond issues, which will be repaid from the revenue of future years and which will be included in the cost of government for those years, and certain revolving fund transactions and the like, which will enter into the bookkeeping of the state, do not represent the amount actually expended for the conduct of the government. The principal items in this deduction are the bond sales of the highway commission, amounting to almost $9,000,000; the transactions of the veterans' welfare board and the workmen's compensation board, which really are revolving fund transactions and amount to considerably over $10,000,000; and the same miscellaneous transactions which do not enter into the actual cost of government. The deduction leaves the sum of $73,796,-620.91 as the actual amount spent dur- unless crates are conspicuously marked "irregular pack" in letters not less than one-half inch in height. All crates must also be conspicuously marked with the exact number of heads contained therein, except that in the case of crats marked "irregular pack" the contents may vary not more than three heads from the count as marked. The net weight must be shown on boxes of tomatoes. (Sandard containers, with but few minor exceptions, remain the same as in the past. Needlework Display At the County Fair "Needlework makes the home, and Orange county is a community of homes." This is the view of Mrs. W. B. McConnell, chairman of the domestic art and needlework department of the Orange County Fair. "Go into a home some place where there is no needlework, then go into an Orange county home with its pretty runners, embroidery, table cloths, boudor scarfs and pillows and this truth will be impressive. I might almost say: 'where the art is there the home is.'" "Not only are Orange county women fond of boudor pillows, but today they are demanding more and more embroidery on their dresses, ready-to-wear garments and lingerie. Besides, the schools are stressing needlework more every year. It is no wonder that everybody is interested in it. Orange county home life reacts favorable upon domestic arts, and there is more poise and less nervousness among our women than those of more crowded communities." Mrs. McConnell welcomes every one to enter work in the exhibit. There is so much variety in the premium list that no one need hold back for fear that her work is "not good enough." Then there is the children's list and a number of specials, including a new prize for stamped goods. Young and old will be interested in the quilt and rug department, and there are many interesting quilt makers in this section. Spanish art, especially crochet work, is excellent here. San Juan Capistrano, especially, produces good Spanish work, and the people of that community are being invited to enter the fair again this year. Trade At Home! Keep the Wheels Turning!

CHAPIN DETOUR VACATION Year of Government Fiscal Year 1925 Government of seventy-sixth fiscal year to carry on the government of the state. This includes that portion of the money disbursed to counties pursuant to the terms of the gasoline tax and the motor vehicle tax. The counties act as agents of the state in the expenditure of this money and it therefore is charged as a cost of state government. This is the second tabulation of state expenses that has been made from the new general fund control ledger, opened two years ago for the purpose of segregating the cost of government from the gross financial transactions of the state, and a detailed statement now is being out showing just where this increase has taken place. When this statement is prepared it will be issued for the benefit of the taxpayers of the state. This table is issued annually and in the course of a few years an accurate chart of the changes and increases in state expenses covering a sufficient period of time for comparative purposes will result. A portion of this increase of slightly over $10,000,000 will be accounted for by the legislative session of 1925, there having been no session in 1924. The cost of the session was $357,059.53, which accounts for but a small portion of the increase, and an exact tabulation showing where the increase occurred soon will be issued. Eighty acres of potatoes near Fillmore, Ventura county yielded 100 sacks per acre of merchantable potatoes. In the Gonzales, Monterey county, agricultural clubs the best calf gain was 2.29 pounds a day, and the best hog gain was 1.85 pounds a day. The estimated walnut crop of Los Angeles is 8277 tons. Last year it was 5923, a gain of 40 per cent for 1925. Ranchers Exchange Big Realty Holdings In one of the largest realty deals on record in Orange county, the 200-acre ranch of C. C. Crookshank, located two miles this side of San Juan Capistrano, on the east side of the state highway, has been traded for 640 acres situated eight miles west of Modesto. The new owner of the Orange county property is Shruder Young. The transaction was consummated Saturday. The Crookshanks plan to remove to their new home today. It is understood Mr. and Mrs. Young are scheduled to arrive here during the week. Mrs. L. V. Willet, daughter of the Youngs, and Mr. Willet already have arrived at the ranch. It is understood that the deal was a straight trade. While the valuations were not made public, either of the properties is conservatively worth $250,000, it was said. Approximately 100 acres of the Crookshank ranch are planted to walnuts, and about 20 acres planted to young oranges. The remainder is pasture land. The Young ranch is planted to grapes and grain. One hundred and fifty head of Holstein cattle are included. The Crookshanks have lived on the San Juan Capistrano property for the last 15 years. Mr. Crookshank is the brother of A. J. Crookshank, president of the First National Bank of Santa Ana. The Youngs have resided on the Modesto property for many years. Mrs. Ernest O. McClure, wife of the Orange county rancher, is a daughter of the Youngs. All negotiations for the transfer of the properties were carried out by the principals.
