SEMI-TROPICAL COUNTY FRUITS Writer Finds Great Variety at Orange County Fair A newspaper man, particularly interested in semi-tropical fruits, describes what he saw at the Orange County Fair as follows: The average person in Orange county and in Southern California does not realize that this country, while not the home of sub-tropical fruits, is especially adapted for them, and in many instances the fruits are grown in profusion and with great success in Orange county. Consequently these people are amazed when they visit the sub-tropical fruit display, shown in the main exhibit tent of the Orange County Fair, and look at some 30 different varieties of fruits, hailing from China to the South Sea Islands, which are displayed in an exhibit prepared by the agricultural extension service of the United States Department of Agriculture. Orange county division. Such jaw-breaking fruits as Papaya, Cherimoya, Kei apple, Jujube, Sapota or arab, Roselle and Felja, natives of practically all tropical lands, are displayed. All have been grown in Orange county. Although the words are jawbreakers, the fruit is delicious, in most cases, both for immediate consumption and for jellies and jams. Other fruits such as the pomegranate, figs, persimmon and avocado, are grown in abundance in Orange county and sold commercially. One of the interesting features of the display is a tiny Papaya tree and a Cherimoya tree, displayed by George W. Beck & Son of La Habra. The Papaya is a native of Mexico, where it is used as a breakfast food. The tree grows to a height of 25 feet in some instances and the fruit grows as long as 20 inches. It is claimed. The Cherimoya, a native of Peru, in South America, is used as a desert. It is commonly called "custard apple." Other displayers of the Cherimoya are J. L.

Some of the accomplishments of his first two years as chief executive are: reduction of taxes, reduction of government expenses, restoration of full relations with Mexico, and funding of war debts with several nations. This record is not at all a poor one, and will account in part at least, for the confidence which the country has in the chief executive.

In announcing this unprecedented showing of the Southern California district, Collector of Internal Revenue Rex B. Goodell released other figures which make the Los Angeles district the ranking collection unit of the United States treasury. Here are some highlights of the survey released by the collector: Income tax receipts for the third quarter of 1925 were $8,690,823.26 as against $8,724,111.14, an increase of $166,712.12. This gain was made in the face of a loss of revenue due to lowering of tax rates estimated at $3,000,000. Total collections for the fiscal year 1925 were $4,778,294.10 in excess of those for 1920, the year in which internal revenue collections for the United States as a whole reached their highest point. Taking into consideration the change in tax rates, the increase in collections, comparing 1925 with 1920, the federal receipts of the entire state of Florida were less than 40 per cent of the collections of the Los Angeles district. Total collections from January 1 to September 26 were $46,345,543.63 as against $44,524,746.55 for the same period of 1924. The increase for comparative purposes was $11,800,000. Income tax collections for the fiscal year were $46,036,814.63, a gain of $2-033,529.63 over 1924. For comparative purposes the increase was $8,000,000. While the Los Angeles district showed a gain of $4,778,294.40 comparing 1925 with 1920, the loss of the United States as a whole, comparing the same years, was $2,800,000,000. The total collections of the Los Angeles district from June 30, 1920, to June 30, 1925 were $367,418,543.40. Orange County Has Two Gold Beaters Only Hammer Used in Making Gold Leaf West of Chicago there are two gold-beating concerns in America, industrial statistics show, and it happens that both these concerns are in the city of Orange. One is the place of William Grecht, 1040 East Walnut street, and the other is that of E. Meckert, 264 North Center street. When the prophets of old were predicting the birth of the Man of Sorrows, men were beating gold in exactly the same manner employed by gold beaters today. No mechanical process has ever been perfected through which the extremely delicate work can be successfully accomplished. The only change in the business has been the purpose to which the beaten gold is put. It was used in ancient times to gilt statuary and to finish off religious implements, chiefly. The modern purpose is the decoration of expensive picture frames and the like, and to make gold lettering for books, signs and similar matter. The beater takes a block of the precious metal approximately half an inch thick and a few inches wide. He beats it with a hammer until it has reached a desired proportion in width; then it is cut into sections and each piece is again beaten to the same proportionate dimension, and this process is repeated until the gold leaf becomes so thin that it cannot be handled by the fingers. It is then placed between skins, and the beating goes on while the leaf is subdivided and reduced to about 1-1,000 of an inch in thickness. Where a variety of tints is desired, metals of various colors are mixed with the gold; silver, aluminum, copper optimistic hotel keeper expected. In addition to the summer resorts on the coast and the mountain play places, the tourist camps for automobiles all over the nation were filled to over- September 26 were $46,345,543.63 as against $44,524,746.55 for the same period of 1924. The increase for comparative purposes was $1,800,000. Income tax collections for the fiscal year were $46,036,814.63, a gain of $2,033,529.63 over 1924. For comparative purposes the increase was $8,000,000. While the Los Angeles district showed a gain of $4,778,294.40 comparing 1925 with 1920, the loss of the United States as a whole, comparing the same years, was $2,800,000,000. The total collections of the Los Angeles district from June 30, 1920, to September 26, 1925, were $363,418,543.40. The total income tax collections for the same period were $276,857,976.57. "The records of the treasury department place the Los Angeles district in a class by itself," said Collector Goodcell. "It is the only district in the United States, with the exception of Florida, showing an increase in collections for 1925 over 1920. This showing certainly reflects a consistent substantial growth in population and in expansion of business in all lines." "A district that can pay the federal government $363,000,500 in taxes certainly has immeasurable resources behind it."

The recent destruction of the Sheman-doh was a terrible calamity, but it is too early to assert, as some writers are doing, that it means the end of our experimentation with lighter than aircraft. If, as seems probable, the Sheman-doh was destroyed because it came in contact with one of those Middle Western tornadoes, the disaster was not surprising. A tornado which can tear up solid buildings, anchored to the earth, can certainly destroy a fleet of airships and airplanes too for that matter. But the cities destroyed by storm are rebuilt, and it is just as logical to rebuild aircraft. The obvious moral for the United States is to refuse war loans in the future.

It hits at hard times by putting money into circulation and keeping it there; it helps to strengthen public confidence by stimulating trade activity. Advertising is the force that moves slow sellers from counter to customer. Every advertisement is a salesman of proven ability, reaching every class, need and sex in the community. People always prefer to buy known goods from merchants whom they know. Advertising makes you acquainted with the buying public. This "personality print" is the greatest builder of confidence there is. Too many merchants treat advertising like they do a collector for a church. They think it costs a terrible lot until they check up on it and find out that they ain't done nothing yet."
