OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR PULL TOGETHER While some men and women may become estranged as to their opinions about some complex question there is no earthly use for them to everlastingly look through the same narrow eye of selfishness upon another thing that would as a whole redound to their credit. Men and women naturally become divided upon many public questions. But there also comes a time for sane reconciliation when the good of the entire community is at stake. And politics interest everybody. This year the people of Orange County will elect every county officer, excepting two supervisors, who hold over. Northern Orange County is entitled to a better representation in the court house. There are plenty of good men here who would give a good accounting of their stewardship—men of honesty, ability and integrity, who possess the qualifications to serve their constituents in public life. The time is opportune for Northern Orange County to put some of its representative citizens in public harness. Let the people unite wholesheartedly for the public weal and bestow these emoluments upon men deserving of them. This can be brought about by cooperation—by political harmony within our own confines. There comes a time in the life of every man who wishes to serve his fellow man, and politics can be made clean by electing capable men to office, who are honest and conscientious in their convictions.

He admired it greatly and had visions of gliding over the bounding main in ease and luxury; but this was only a sort of apparition, or dream. He took another inhale from a cigarette and asked the man the price of the car. eH was told it was $14,000. The man sort of wavered, became wobble reposed a birthday cake, with five burning candles. As the child "blew out" each candle, when asked whom this one and that was for she merrily replied, respectively, that it was for one of each person gathered around the table and all seemed happy. But a tense moment came when the fifth candle was extinguished. When the child was asked whom that one was for, she solemnly replied it was her mother. A hush fell over the crowded theatre and you could have heard a pin drop. SEND 'EM TO NIGHT SCHOOL "Hello, Bill, what's on your mind—what do you know this morning?" asked one man of another the other morning. "Don't know a thing," replied the fellow. "What do you know?" he in turn asked his pal. "Don't know a thing worth telling," came the reply. Then both knocked out the ashes of their pipes and took on some new ballast. GREETINGS TO THE HAWKEYES AND SUCKERS The Iowans and Illinoisans on the west coast are looking forward to the mammoth picnic reunion held each winter. The Illinoisans will celebrate the 12th of February, the birthday of their immortal Lincoln, with the picnic reunion in Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles with all the usual picnic attractions. The Iowans of all the west will hold their picnic Saturday, February 27th, and if rainy that date, one week later. They will meet in Lincoln Park, Los Angeles and expect 100,000 Hawkeyes to rally 'round the counties. Every former resident of these states 'including the tourists is urged to meet the old home state friends. Any announcements of other picnics for the local people will not change these great central rallies. Hawkeyes and Suckers are urged to pass the word along to others. No doubt when Col. House visited the White House recently he couldn't help noticing how much the place has changed.

The man sort of wavered, became wobly, lost his balance, and fell into the arms of another man nearby. He was given emergency treatment, and while by-standers were about to summon the ambulance, the man regained consciousness and later was able to go home. WHAT! A man who is a deep thinker, but who cannot be classed as a dreamer, unfolds this one: Why could it not be arranged for Anaheim and Fullerton to join hands and run both municipalities under one city government? The conditions of these two enterprising towns are similar, and public expenses could be greatly lessened by mutual annexation. Now, don't all speak at once. WONDERFUL PRINTER'S INK Uncle Reuben steps up to ask, what would happen to some of the movie stars, especially the male variety, if they didn't have a good press agent. TIME WORKS CHANGES The term "Horse Thief" has lost much of its terror nowadays, as compared to the time when, years ago, horse thieves quite frequently were found dangling from the end of a rope in sparsely settled sections where an overhanging limb of a tree afforded a good jumping off place. Time was, when a quickly organized posse took up the trail and never let up until the guilty one was overhailed. The traffic in horses over the line was at times followed successfully by rustlers, but now that is only a memory. Now a horse thief is classed as a petite larcenist and it convicted may draw down from a day to six months in la casa. OUT ON LOCATION, MAYBE While a burly-looking Mexican was being arraigned in court, charged with having stolen a horse, a constable, who graduated from the police force in a big city up the boulevard, years ago, essayed to cross-examine the witness. By the way, the constable who now devotes his spare time to raising chickens, also keeps the peace among a balliwick to the west. While on the big city police force he ranged over the tough parts of town as a patrolman and no doubt became somewhat "hard-bolled," and he still shows some symptoms of that disposition. "Where's mama," he asked the accused, as the case was nearing a close. "Me esposa?" queried the Mex. "Hold on officer," admonished "the court," "this is cross-examination. You're overruled." Every former resident of these states including the tourists is urged to meet the old home state friends. Any announcements of other picnics for the local people will not change these great central rallies. Hawkeyes and Suckers are urged to pass the word along to others. No doubt when Col.

"Well, I wanted to find out where 'mama' is. I believe she's a bootlegger," he persisted. SUCH IS FAME A moving picture, now drawing capacity houses wherever shown, has four notable screen stars who receive prominent mention in the advertisements, but a fifth man, who really portrays his character as good or better than any of the rest, does not get a line to say who he is. He is a new one. He, as a typical "bad" man of the early '60's, is very good, perhaps one of the best finds of the life of the movie game. Of course, high priced stars, who once start climbing the ladder of fame, must be taken care of by the press agent so as not to be crowded too much. But it's hard to keep a good man down, and the man here referred to no doubt will be heard from again, as he is a real hombre and should be shoved out into the spotlight. FINE AND DANDY Dame Fashion has decreed that those among the gentler sex who smoke should carry the coffin nails in a neat pocket fastened to her garter, while the powder puff is snugly encased in the folds of her hair—if it's not bobbed. And those with a dryness in the throat carry the highly ornamented three-drink container dangling at the knee. HER BEST FRIEND The high-light in a movie picture shown here lately was a little 5-year-old girl, who lost her mother at childbirth. As the picture progressed you saw the calf, the father, his pal, and two lovely maidens seated around a table upon Farm Radio Features Now Being Planned The vast fund of popular and scientific agricultural information that originates on the farms and in the laboratories of the United States Department of Agriculture will soon be tapped in a new place. This is the announcement made by Sam Pickard, chief of the newly created radio service in the department. Steps will be taken immediately, he said, to furnish a variety of agricultural program material to commercial broadcasting stations serving farmer audiences. Much of the material furnished by the radio service will be prepared for presentation in a radically different manner than the present almost universal practice of reading manuscripts. Broadcasting stations cooperating will be asked to provide personalities who have unmistakable qualifications to voice the information and material which in most cases will be presented in popular style and in the form of dialogue or questions and answers. "Uncle Bert," the garden expert, one of Mr. Pickard's phantom characters, will entertain and instruct the boys and girls of the Radio Order of Junior Gardeners with nature-study information. Some of the Juniors themselves will be heard over the radio as they ask questions of Uncle Bert. "Fifty Farm Flashes" will soon be offered as a regular feature on the air. The "flashes" will consist of interesting current information sought by farmers through the several thousand letters received each week by the department. Other feature programs are under consideration, among which are the "Housekeeper's Half-hour," and the "National Farm School." In the latter the farm will be considered as the student's laboratory. Timely lecture courses which dovetail with the daily farm work will be developed, and laboratory assignments will be made which necessitate putting into practice the subject matter taught. These will be supplemented with a file of bulletins dealing with the subject matter broadcast. Maybe that Rumanian prince who gave up his right to the throne had some inside dope on the general situation. OFFICIAL FIGURES AS PROOF Often we are amazed at our growth. Orange county has changed so steadily the past eight or nine years that we have not realized the distance we have traveled in that period, says the Register. The changes that have taken place in our inland cities are many and varied, and all for the best. Schools have been enlarged to meet growth in population, and while growing in that way they have also been growing in standards of excellence. Sanitary conditions have been improved by the institution of a joint sewer. Streets are in better shape than ever before, and paving programs for months ahead are projected. Changes along the coast are even more marked than inland. From the county line at Seal Beach to the county line below San Juan Canistrano, development has worked its charms. The older cities have made themselves over. The spirit of progress and the knowledge that they have entered upon a new era of usefulness has carried them forward. Here and there all along-the coast are new homes, new beaches, new subdivisions. The opening of the coast boulevard by the state is a guidepost to development. So, reviewing the changes that we know have taken place in the communities where people live, we marvel again and are impressed deeply thereby when we read figures showing the county's growth over any period. Just a few days ago, The Register carried a news article telling of the growth of the work in the county recorder's office. Miss Justine Whitney, the recorder, took from the records a statement showing that in 1915 the total receipts for the office were $16,985.95 with 16,235 documents offered for record. In 1925 the receipts were $50,081.30, and the number of documents recorded went to 35,775. The year 1925 set a new record for the office in receipts and in the number of documents handled. One can go into other departments of the county's business and in each will find that business has increased. Official business is a criterion of development. Income Tax Forms Being Held Back Thousands of inquiries from the army of 200,000 income taxpayers in Southern California with regard to when returns for reporting 1925 income will be available are flooding the internal revenue office. "Heretofore taxpayers have been urged to file their income tax returns early. The filing of returns this year is delayed pending the enactment of the new revenue act now before the senate, which as it passed the house, contains changes in regard to rates and other features. In order that taxpayers may be given the full advantage of the reductions the 1925 forms are being held pending the enactment of the new revenue bill," Collector Goodcell said. "However, there is nothing to prevent a taxpayer at this time from closing his books and computing his net income. Such computations will not be affected by any provisions of the new act. The actual preparation of the return itself, after the computation, requires, in a majority of cases, but a few minutes. Therefore, it is advised that all figures and data be assembled, pending receipt of blanks by taxpayers. When released, blanks will be sent to taxpayers and also may be obtained at my office or at its various branches. As the time for filling will be brief, taxpayers are advised to get their figures ready." "Forms 1099 and 1096, used for making information returns, are now available. Such returns are required of persons in whatever capacity acting who made to a single person during the year 1925 a payment of $1,000 or more, or to a married person a payment of $2,500 or more. Such payments include salaries, rent, interest, or other fixed or determinable gains, profits and income." Information returns should be addressed to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D.C. It is announced that Form 1041 for filling fiduciary for reporting available.

The Anah Orange County's PAGE THREE THE DEADLY AUTOMOBILE More people were killed by automobiles in California last year than were killed by diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever and smallpox combined. Five years ago these communicable diseases found more victims than did the automobile. Today, these conditions are exactly reversed. The automobile has become deadlier than the major communicable diseases—diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever and smallpox. Science has found the way to control disease. Diphtheria has been made preventable; smallpox cannot occur in anyone who has been immunized against it; typhoid fever need never be contracted, and scarlet fever is now, for the first time, being brought under control. Nothing like these procedures have been found, as yet, in the prevention of deaths from automobiles. Jail sentences and loss of driver's licenses are tried daily, in attempting to curb reckless driving, but such measures do not produce the sure results that go with immunization against disease. Twelve hundred and fifty-four individuals were killed by automobiles in California during the year 1924. Diphtheria claimed 695 lives, typhoid fever 219, scarlet fever 102 and smallpox 56 lives during the same period. Most of these deaths need not have occurred. If every child, one year of age, were immunized against diphtheria there would be no deaths from this disease. These 695 victims of this disease would probably be living now if they had received the sure protection that immunization affords. The same holds true for typhoid fever and smallpox. To die of either disease is absolutely needless. The nature of the average human being is such that he takes no interest in disease until he himself becomes ill. Then, he will move heaven and earth, will even resort to superstitions, myths, fakes, fads and fallacies in his wild scramble to get well. The better way, of course, is to take steps in the prevention of disease while enjoying the comparable attributes of good health. It is a fact that the general public does not take advantage of the many scientific procedures that are available for the promotion of individual health. This does not apply to immunization against disease alone. It applies also to community recreational facilities, physical exercise, proper diet and countless other scientific improvements in living. There can be no doubt that the automobile has contributed greatly to the betterment of our general health. People who, before the age of the automobile, seldom got out of doors and whose health suffered as a consequence, now enjoy the good health that comes from life in the open. This improvement in general health, however, does not prevent the contraction of communicable diseases nor does it prevent deaths due to careless driving of automobiles. The way to prevent disease is clear, but how to curb the deadly automobile is one of our biggest problems. The man who broke the Bank of Monte Carlo died recently in London and so far as is known he didn't leave any system. Hours: Except Sundays 9:10am Residence 1169-J Dr. Walter R.
