OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR NEVER AGAIN Some of "the boys" solemnly aver they have turned over a new leaf and it is so dry that it really curls up at the edges. And, as the saying goes, it is not perhaps or maybe. A FAIR GETAWAY As this is the time for new resolutions a woman vows that if she has to sue for divorce she will not ask for the alimony; while a man, who says he stands for a square deal, says whatever his financial difficulties happen to be, he will not transfer his property to his wife. POPULAR INDOOR SPORT The kiting of fictitious checks has assumed a stage that would be amusing were it not so serious. A local man received a no-fund check from a Los Angeles produce buyer and when he overhauled the man, he received half the amount in cash together with another check for the balance. The last check also turned out to be of the no-fund variety, thus completing a wheel within a wheel of high finance. HAND-MADE AUDIENCE Up until recently when a musical program was sent over the radio each individual number received a volley of hand clapping in the station that usually sounded like the first Armistice Day celebration. But now that is all changed and the glad hand has been hushed. Some people thought it sounded like a fellow talking to himself, besides they like to roll their own thunder. TIME FOR THE NOSE BAGS A farmer out west has a pair of mules that he considers are worth a lot to him. A few weeks ago while operating a scraper on his land a ring on his finger was caught in a revolving wheel and it looked like a bad accident was about to happen. As soon as the mishap occurred he said "Whoa" in a voice that was distinct and loud. The mules stopped at once and the man extricated himself, even though he sustained a sign that bedeck the landscape in and around their famous place of abode. They rebel at the desecration of nature's handwork. Their iris is aimed particularly at a certain brand of smokes epitomized by a vicious-looking he-cow enclosed within a fence, that heretofore roamed unrestrained, pictorially speaking. STORE THE WATER A new idea has been brought into practice in San Diego whereby water may be stored underground. It is proposed to sink check dams in a water way, to a depth of whatever is required, and by this means water is confined there. Thus water is stored without bringing it to the surface. This is an economical feature of the plan. It is likened somewhat to the plugging of oil wells, after oil has been struck, as it has been said it is cheaper to hold the oil under, instead of on top, the ground. This is the day of new ideas, even though a woman once a long time ago made a fortune out of a clasp to hold a collar button in place. By the way, the storage of water is a paramount problem confronting the people of Southern California and it would be well for our citizens to give this question earnest consideration. Automobile Notes An experiment looking toward a new solution of the speed menace is reported to the Automobile Club of Southern California from Miami, Florida, where a judge sentenced a man guilty of reckless driving to spend ten consecutive Sundays in jail, the court figurating that this would entail no hardships upon the man's family such as would be involved in the less of ten working days. More automobiles were recovered by the county and city officers and the theft bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California in Los Angeles during October than were stolen. This paradoxical situation was brought about by the special vigilance on the part of officers and a determined drive on thieves which netted many cars which had been stolen months before. There were 983 reported stolen in the city, and over a thousand recovered. FARM Important Measures Scheduled Although the farm is tending the annual cornley, the Farm Bureau ahead of it. A number of meetings have been mediate future. Tuesday evening Cynter gathered at a jolly bride the conclusion of ship drive and discuss coming year. On the farm Bureau committee ways of preventing cheat at the Farm Bureau office. Wednesday night the intention committee met at offices to discuss the issue on the Santa Ana river report to be submitted of the Farm Bureau week day. The directors will hold meeting, reviewing various departments. For a regional meeting Centro during the next Farm Bureau activities Farm Bureau officers will the February meeting. On Friday a committee make preparations for convention banquet when January 27th in cone beekeepers institute in Santa Ana. On Friday night the Farm Center will meet or steps to be taken in control of walnut coding ripe next week arranged for Dr. H. J. Webside Experiment Station of subtropical fruits farm center meetings, observations in South Africa illustrate his talk with witnesses. During the day the county Dr. Webbe stocks of various trees. The poultrymen will Farm Bureau office the TIME FOR THE NOSE BAGS A farmer out west has a pair of mules that he considers are worth a lot to him. A few weeks ago while operating a scraper on his land a ring on his finger was caught in a revolving wheel and it looked like a bad accident was about to happen. As soon as the mishap occurred he said "Whoa" in a voice that was distinct and loud. The mules stopped at once and the man extricated himself, even though he sustained a badly lacerated finger. But the gist of the narrative is that the mix-up happened just at the noon hour and the mules were headed in an opposite direction from which the barn was located. Of course, the mules believed they were ready to call it a half day when their driver called them to a halt. Anyway, the man says the accident could have been more serious, perhaps losing an arm or a hand, had the mules kept ongoing, and they did not come from Missouri either. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP Before people invest their money in stock companies they should carefully investigate the concerns so as to be sure they are right. Millions of dollars are annually paid for stock that in time proves to be absolutely worthless. Many local people have been stung with stock and some have been reduced to poverty through the connivance of stock salesmen. JUST ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER Two families from "back east" who visited here the past month went to a beach town on Christmas. There they were guests of old-time friends and enjoyed a turkey dinner. The Christmas tree was lighted and a social time was passed. The thermometer ranged about 65 degrees and all hands donned bathing suits and went splashing around in the breakers. Then to cap the climax the Christmas tree was moved out onto the front porch and when all joined hands and circled around the tree pictures were taken of the group. These were sent to the rest of the folks back in the old-home town, as a gentle reminder that California is a place hard to beat. SUBDUING THE SQUAWKS A lady living in the west section had a dozen fine Rhode Island Red hens which she prized highly. One night there awhile back she heard a car chug up the road, somewhat noiselessly, and hearing of chicken thieves, she listened intently and watched through the window, wondering if anyone could be so low down as to want to pilfer her poultry. Seeing no one enter her yard, she relaxed her vigilance, believing the car had passed on. But an results proved afterward the fliver had stopped alongside the trees aligning the roadway out of her sight. The next morning on going to the hen-house she discovered all her chickens had been stolen. The lady was all the more perplexed over her loss because she had heard not a sign of commotion out in the barnyard, this being accounted for by the More automobiles were recovered by the county and city officers and the theft bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California in Los Angeles during October than were stolen. This paradoxical situation was brought about by the special vigilance on the part of officers and a determined drive on thieves which netted many cars which had been stolen months before. There were 983 reported stolen in the city, and over a thousand recovered. Twenty-six motorists considered criminally careless lost their driving licenses during the month of November, according to advises received by the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This brings the total for 11 months to 274. With the passing of the New Year holiday, license renewals for automobiles in California will start with a rush. Under the law, a period of 30 days is allowed for the distribution of license plates, although this year the Automobile Club of Southern California has received applications for plates during December for which receipts were issued, thus eliminating the last minute rush. Approximately 800,000 motor vehicles in Southern California must obtain new license plates during the month of January. At midnight, January 30, the official time will close and a penalty of 100 per cent is demanded of all late comers by the state. This means that the ordinary $3 license will cost $6 unless it is obtained during January. Although repeated warnings are issued by the Automobile Club of Southern California, which obtains plates for its members, and the state motor vehicle department, there are tens of thousands of motorists who find themselves without the proper license in the new year, and must not only pay to the state a 100 per cent cash penalty, but they also are subject to the annoyance of arrest at least of explaining why their cars are not equipped with the new blue and whatever plates. These ran over 50,-000 last year. Thousands of motorists already have applied for new plates through the auto club's 30 branch offices, and it is expected that this rush of applicants will continue unabated until all have renewals. Only the white certificate of registration is required this year. In making application it is necessary to have the correct address printed plainly and the certificate of registration must be legible. Illegal certificates cannot be accepted as applications for renewal, which means that the applicant will have to pay an additional fee of 50 cents for a duplicate. The principal thing, however, that the license bureau of the automobile club warns against delay application until the last days. This is liable to prove both expensive and annoying and may easily be obviated by motorists acting promptly. RUBBER AS DEBT-PAYER hearing of chicken thieves, she listened intently and watched through the window, wondering if anyone could be so low down as to want to pilfer her poultry. Seeing no one enter her yard, she relaxed her vigilance, believing the car had passed on. But as results proved afterward the flivver had stopped alongside the trees aligning the roadway out of her sight. The next morning on going to the hen-house she discovered all her chickens had been stolen. The lady was all the more perplexed over her loss because she had heard not a sign of commotion out in the barnyard, this being accounted for by the reason that all modern chicken thieves use a gas spray in putting the poultry out of commission. DON'T NEED THE SMOKE The chillicote vines are in bloom, at least five weeks ahead of schedule, which an old-timer says presages an early spring. The chillicote thrives up in the mountain sections where it entwins the chaparral and is classed as a delicate plant, susceptible to frost. As an early spring means warm weather there is absolutely no reason why they should not ditch the smudge pots. AN EYE OPENER A man who is a staid and proper member of society, is telling about an experience he had in the city a few days ago when his flivver bumped into a car driven by a rouge-cheeked lady. After the impact he walked over to the fair damsel and begging her pardon, essayed to remark that he surely was right and failed to see how it all happened. The lady insisted that she had her hand out for the turn at the intersection, and giving the man a withering look, unbraided him for being a dumbbell. He tried to explain and told the lady he did not see her hand signal. "Huh!" she said, "I guess if I had my leg hanging out you would have seen it: Applesauce." And then the meek man silently stole away. THROWING THE BULL The welfare committee of a coastal town people by artists, retired capitalists and other high-cultured folk, has literally taken the bull by the horns and declared open warfare on the unsightly RUBBER AS DEBT-PAYER Our British friends are frankly joyful as America writes under the high cost of rubber. Lord Riddell's "News of the World," remarking that "Britain and America are rapidly changing places as debtor and creditor nations," adds: "This astounding but wholly delightful transformation is being brought about by rubber. With rubber fetching today a dollar a pound, America within four years will have paid this country the equivalent of the British war debt-of $4,000,000,000." Maybe so. And maybe not so. It is a little early in the game to assume that British owners of East Indian rubber plantations, backed by the British government, can continue upsetting economic law. Uncle Sam may succeed in getting his rubber elsewhere and otherwise, before that British debt is paid from rubber profits. And in this connection Southern California bids fair to "do her bit." But if the gleeful gentlemen in London are right about it, very well. That will make Britain prosperous. And a prosperous Britain would be a good enough customer to give us back our rubber money for other goods that the British people need as much as we need rubber.

FARM BUREAU NOTES Important Meetings Scheduled by Bureau Although the farm advisors are attending the annual conference at Berkeley, the Farm Bureau has a busy week ahead of it. A number of important meetings have been called for the immediate future. Tuesday evening Cypress Farm Center grathered at a jolly supper to celebrate the conclusion of their membership drive and discuss projects for the coming year. On the same evening the Farm Bureau committee to develop ways of preventing chicken thefts met at the Farm Bureau offices in Santa Ana. Wednesday night the water conservation committee met at the Farm Bureau offices to discuss the Lippincott report on the Santa Ana river and to prepare a report to be submitted to the directors of the Farm Bureau which met Thursday. The directors will hold only a formal meeting, reviewing reports from various departments. Plans will be made for a regional meeting to be held in El Centro during the month and other Farm Bureau activities. The election of Farm Bureau officers will take place at the February meeting. On Friday a committee will meet to make preparations for the beemen's convention banquet which will be held January 27th in connection with the beekeepers institute in Santa Ana. On Friday night the West Orange Farm Center will meet to discuss further steps to be taken in regards to control of walnut codling moth. Next week arrangements have been made for Dr. H. J. Webber of the River-side Experiment Station and professor of subtropical fruits to speak at four farm center meetings, on his recent observations in South Africa. He will illustrate his talk with stereoticon pictures. During the days of his visit to the county Dr. Webber will study root stocks of various trees. The poultrymen will gather at the Farm Bureau office the evening of Jan- chaser in terms which shall conform to the standards set up by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics with regard to honey grades. The flavor is commonly indicated by naming the plant source, as "White Orange honey" or "Light Amber Clover honey." There has been considerable difficulty, however, in establishing standard grades corresponding to the trade color names for honey, but work on this problem by the bee culture laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture has led to the perfection of a grader by means of which different persons readily assign a given sample to the same grade. This grader overcomes many of the objections to other types of graders heretofore used and, while more expensive, is considered better. The five standard grades of color are as follows: Water white, white, light amber, amber, and dark. These are the terms at present commonly used in the sale of honey. In response to the demand from western beekeepers for further subdivision of the lighter grades, two additional grades are established as subdivisions of the white and light amber grades, these to be designated as extra white and extra light amber. Grades and colors will be discussed by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture at the Beekeepers Short Course January 26th and 27th, at Santa Ana. How to Decrease Tractor Costs By W. M. CORY, Tractor owners wishing to learn more about the repair and upkeep of their tractors and gas engines will do well to attend the week tractor school at the Anaheim High School Shops, January 18th to 22nd, under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service. Popular makes of tractors will be repaired at the school so that everyone will have the opportunity of working on a tractor similar to their own, in addition to the two hours' lecture every day. Legion Notes George J. Hatfield, U. S. Attorney for the northern California district, is to represent the World War veterans of California at a meeting of the national executive committee of the American Legion at a meeting to be held at Indianapolis, Indiana, January 11 and 12. Hatfield is a member of the committee. He will leave early next week for the meeting. Congress is to be asked to pass legislation at the present session extending the time limit for five years for the conversion of war time term insurance policies held by veterans of the World War, according to word received here by State Adjutant James K. Flisk of the American Legion. Under the terms of the legislation, disabled veterans of the World War will be permitted to reinstate their policies by placing the unpaid back premiums as a charge against the policy in the final settlement thereof. Other legislation, according to Adjutant Flisk, will provide further relief for tubercular veterans, including a permanent rating of fifty per centum disabled for "arrested" cases. State officials of the American Legion have called upon the California delegation in congress to rally to the support of the bill submitted in the house of representatives by Representative Royal Johnson, South Dakota, and Senator Capper of Kansas, providing for the drafting of industry as well as man power in time of national emergency. State Adjutant James K. Flisk, acting under instruction from Commander Allen B. Bixby of the legion has communicated with Senators Hiram Johnson and Samuel M. Shortridge and with the entire delegation in the house asking that the sentiment of the California legion members be expressed in favor of the bill at the head military command house.

The poultrymen will gather at the Farm Bureau office the evening of January 12th to discuss plans for their Southern California department which will meet in Los Angeles the following day. With all these things on tap it appears that the office crew will be busy until the Farm Advisor's return.

Drafting of industry as well as man power in time of war is one of the major planks in the American Legion's legislative program, according to Fisk. President Coolidge has already declared himself in general terms for the policy. Fisk states and an effort is to be made by the individual legion posts to secure the votes of the California congressional delegation for the bills now before congress. As a part of the extensive program of child welfare work which the ex-service men and women of the state will carry on through the agency of the American Legion posts of California during 1926, a conference is to be held this week between Mrs. Eliza London Shepard, sister of the late Jack London and the national president, of the Women's Auxiliary of the legion and Dr. John F. Slavich, chairman of the state child welfare committee of the legion. A detailed plan of the work to be done in each community of the state for the children of disabled war veterans or the emigrants of the World War is to be prepared so that each of the three hundred posts in California may begin activities soon after January 1st.
