This Week By Arthur Brisbane EATING HARD COAL. HEAVIEST BABY LAMB. POODLES. 2 AND 4 LEGS. BURBANK AN INFIDEL? Failure of another effort to end the coal strike brings coal so much nearer to control by the Government. Coal under ground is owned by individuals only through public consent. Everything that represents absolute public necessity (air, water, coal, railroads) must naturally be subject to public control. Mine owners are said by union leaders to be forcing a practical lockout. The unions brought trouble on themselves in the beginning by defiant refusal of arbitration. Unions and owners are working here as they have done in England toward Government control of mines. It will come in England before long. It will come here eventually. The people will not forever consent to shiver, while "capital and labor" fight about the terms on which the people may have heat. The heaviest new born lamb on record arrives on the farm of Robert Magee in Michigan, weighing fourteen pounds. The new born cub of a 500 pound bear weighs only a few dollars, and increasing railroad profits everywhere, should gain a friendly hearing and better pay for railroad workers. To raise the pay of millions of men would cost hundreds of millions a year. But that is the scale we are now geared up to nationally, and the hundreds of millions would be poured back into general prosperity, the railroads getting their share. Husbands are gradually losing their ancient "rights." The marriage service no longer makes woman promise to obey. English law no longer permits a man to beat his wife with a stick no bigger around than his thumb." A Russian husband no longer beats his wife gently on their marriage day to prove that he is boss. And now a wife gets her divorce with cash alimony simply because the husband, during the past eight years, has had a way of calling her in the morning by throwing cold water on her as she lay in bed at 6. An occasional, not frequent beating, added to the effect of the cold water. An expert says poodles and other lap dogs "go mad" often than dogs that take more exercise. Another expert, friendly to poodles, says that isn't so. One thing IS certain, HUMAN poodles, petted and pampered by inherited money, go mad, or lose their balance much more quickly than those that work for a living. See the divorce and "high class" crime news in your daily newspapers. Luther Burbank in a San Francisco pulpit gives more information concerning his views on a Supreme Being. He says he is an infidel, but believes in God. Of course he doesn't KNOW that he is an infidel, and he can't tell OBSERVATION BY A CONNECTION SUBDIVIDE. THE holding of land by one or two persons drawback to the community. There is this in Orange county sections lying contiguous coast.

There is no belief it is believed by a fluent citizen of that no doubt selfish large holder of land divide, as the land pects to see the covenant, through their causing his private hance in value concern out the least effort about that result.

MOVE UP, THE big land ow FARM BUREAU NOTES CITRUS GROWERS VISIT RIVERSIDE Auto Caravan Starts 8 A.M. Friday Citrus growers of Orange county will make their fifth annual tour to the citrus experiment station at Riverside. Friday of this week, according to announcement from the farm advisor's office. An invitation is extended to any grower interested in the various citrus investigations carried on by the state institution. The annual tour is held under the auspices of the citrus department of the Orange county farm bureau, but is open to any grower who desires to go. Dr. J. R. Schofield, chairman of the citrus department, says that lunch may be had in Riverside during the noon hour, but it will be more desirable for those participating to take their lunch and eat at the experiment station. Coffee will be served by the station. Several projects will be studied by the visiting growers. The experiment station staff, headed by Director H. J. Webber and Associate Director J. T. Barrett, have arranged to conduct the group through the various experimental plots, including fertilizers, root stocks, pruning, alkali reclamation, mottle leaf control and biological control. A new feature this year will embrace the work on reclaiming citrus trees from alkali injury where alkali water to see in what direction his excessive costs are pointing. During the past year, several growers have modified their orchard practices as a result of these economic studies. The farm advisor's office will supply any orange grower with the necessary equipment to start an analytical study of his orchard business. The method is very simple—requires very little time nor expense, and will furnish valuable information to the grower. The project is a part of the farm management studies carried on by the agricultural extension service of the University of California. ANNUAL MEETING OF DAIRY BRANCH The annual meeting of the dairy department of the Orange county farm bureau resulted in the election of the following men as directors for the ensuing year: Steve Griset, chairman; R. F. Hazard, vice-chairman; H. L. Wakeham, J. T. Raitt, F. H. Finney, D. E. Huff and P. J. Swayze. H. Oleson, or "Ole" as he is better known, was appointed tester. With his appointment, he commenced his duties on the thirteenth. He and his wife have moved to Santa Ana and expect to make their home there. Mr. Oleson was formerly tester in Ventura county and later tester for the Los Angeles Creamery company.

Barrett, have arranged to conduct the group through the various experimental plots, including fertilizers, root stocks, pruning, alkali reclamation, mottle leaf control and biological control. A new feature this year will embrace the work on reclaiming citrus trees from alkali injury where alkali water has been used. This project is supervised by Dr. W. P. Kelley, chemist. Mottle leaf and chlorosis of citrus trees have puzzled the citrus industry for several years. Some progress has been made by Dr. A. R. C. Haas, plant physiologist, in the control of this condition. Plots will be shown where the tests are in progress. The caravan will start at 8 o'clock sharp, Friday morning, February 19, from Olive and Placentia, simultaneously. Machines from the northern part of the county will assemble at the Santa Fe depot yard at Placentia. Cars from the southern part of the county will assemble at Olive, near Olive Heights Citrus association. Leaving at 8 o'clock sharp, the two divisions will merge at the junction of the Yorba road and Canyon boulevard. In case of rain on Friday morning, the tour will be postponed to March 12. ORANGE GROWERS START STUDIES By H. E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor, Orange County A study in economics has been started this week by 35 orange growers in Orange county who are interested in production costs and orchard efficiency. Simple monthly record blanks will be supplied by the agricultural extension service to each of the co-operators, who will keep the actual man, horse and tractor labor expenses involved in the production of a given percentage of oranges. By means of the records so accumulated during the year, a comparative study can be made between each operator's costs and the average costs of the crop, thus enabling each man bureau resulted in the election of the following men as directors for the ensuing year: Steve Griset, chairman; R. F. Hazard, vice-chairman; H. L. Wakeham, J. T. Raitt, F. H. Finney, D. E. Huff and P. J. Swayze. H. Oleson, or "Ole" as he is better known, was appointed tester. With his appointment, he commenced his duties on the thirteenth. He and his wife have moved to Santa Ana and expect to make their home there. Mr. Oleson was formerly tester in Ventura county and later tester for the Los Angeles Creamery company. His interests, however, were stronger for cow-testing association work, where he came in direct contact with the dairymen, which made him eager to accept the position here when offered him. The directors of the dairy department feel that they have found in r.M. Oleson one who will be an industrious worker for the best interests of the dairymen of Orange county. WALNUT GROWERS HOLD INSTITUTE Walnut growers of the south will journey to Santa Paula on Saturday, February 20, when the eighth annual walnut institute, under the auspices of the Southern Counties farm bureaus and agricultural extension service, will be held. This year's program will emphasize the outstanding problem before southern growers—the improvement of quality in California nuts. An all-day program, to be presented by leading authorities of the state, has been prepared, and will begin at 10 a.m. at Santa Paula high school. The program is as follows: Morning Session 10:00 a.m.-"Revising Grade Standards," A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana. 10:30 a.m.-"The Growers' Obligation to Produce Quality Walnuts," T. H. Lambert, president, Los Angeles county farm bureau. 11:00 a.m.-"Methods of Improving Walnut Culture," W.B. Hooper, walnut specialist, agricultural extension service. 11:30 a.m.-"Irrigation Principles," J.B. Brown, irrigation specialist, agricultural extension service. 12:00 m.-Lunch. Afternoon Session 1:30 p.m.-"Efficiency in Harvesting and Handling of Walnuts," Prof. A.W. OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR SUBDIVIDE, THE KEYNOTE THE holding of large tracts of land by one or two persons is a distinct drawback to the progress of any community. There is ample proof of this in Orange county, especially in the sections lying contiguous to the sea coast. Were these tracts subdivided and ownership passed on to the multitude, much good would be done toward enhancing the prosperity of that section. The holding of large landed interests intact sets up a barrier to progress of ambitious cities adjacent thereto because it hinders commercial development. There is no room for expansion. It is believed by a well-known and influential citizen of the coastal district that no doubt selfish motives impel the large holder of land to refuse to subdivide, as the land baron hopes and expects to see the cities materially advance, through their own efforts, thus causing his private holdings to enhance in value correspondingly, without the least effort on his part to bring about that result. KNOCKING AT OUR DOOR THERE is no gainsaying the fact that the section west of Anaheim, reaching as far as Seal Beach, is due for advancement along solid commercial lines, as a result of the doubling of the harbor facilities now under way at the Long Beach harbor. It does not take a wide stretch of one's imagination to see that section utilized for industrial enterprises, indubitably to follow in the wake of the completion of the sea mole at the new harbor. This territory must of necessity be used as feeders to this great shipping point when completed, which is estimated will be less than ten years. In the meantime property values out west will materially strengthen, which in turn indirectly will benefit Anaheim many-fold. MOVE UP, IN FRONT THE big land owner, the man who doorway one of his wives, such is the hospitality. The guest may accept or acknowledge the offer with regret. In higher circles of Maya etiquette, however, it is said, rejection is not considered good taste. Natives have little liking for manual labor, preferring to gain a livelihood with the bow and arrow. It is said the Maya Indians are yet in the throes of idol worship. HIT THE TOBOGGAN THE manner in which a former officer in the aviation corp has slid down the ladder of fame is really heartrending, all on account of talking too much. They used to tell a story, that the best thing for a fellow to do when he thought he had something to say, was to count ten before he said it. MISSING THE RED INK CONSTABLE down in Carolina went out to attach a farmer's cow one day, and after arriving at the rancho he espied the Jersey out in the field. Business had been slack that month, so the minion of the law saw a chance to swell his bank balance. He started after the cow and, after chasing her around the field about a dozen times, the farmer came out to see what it was all about. "Hey there, what in the love of Mike are you doing?" he asked. "Oh, just running up my mileage," said the man. CHICKENS WILL COME HOME TO BOOST PEEVED young lady in a big town up on the main boulevard, claiming to have been lilted by her former sweetheart, who had married another woman, went to his place of abode and created a disturbance and was arrested. In the paper it said she was "scantily attired" and went to the domicile of her former pal for shelter. In justification for her action the fair damsel said she pulled-all this rough stuff in order to give the man a thrill and "get even" with him. SPLIT AMONG LEAGUERS Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy and ardent league of nations Holderman Head Of Soldiers' Home Santa Ana War Hero Given Good Position Capt. Nelson M. Holderman of Santa Ana, who was awarded the congressional medal of honor for the heroic manner in which he commanded the right wing of the so-called "Lost Batallion," has been appointed superintendent of the veterans home in Yountville, Napa county, and will take over the command about March 1. Captain Holderman, who was in charge of the guard of honor that accompanied the body of President Harding from San Francisco to Washington and thence to Marion, Ohio, has just retired from the army because of wounds suffered in the World war. He recently underwent treatment in the Walter Reed hospital, in Washington. D.C., and left Monday for California. Holderman is one of the most decorated officers ever to be retired by the American army. Besides holding the congressional medal of honor, because of which he was chosen to play a conspicuous part in the burial at Arlington, in 1921, of the Unknown Soldier, he has the distinguished service cross and the war crosses of virtually all of the allies, except Japan, which did not award such honors. He has served as post adjutant at the Presidio in San Francisco and also as assistant to the commander of the ninth corps area. For several months following the war, Holderman was superintendent of the home at Yountville. He resigned in order to return to the regular army. Wonder if the Florida real estate boomers aren't to blame in some way for that hard coal strike! take a wide stretch of one's imagination to see that section utilized for industrial enterprises, indubitably to follow in the wake of the completion of the sea mole at the new harbor. This territory must of necessity be used as feeders to this great shipping point when completed, which is estimated will be less than ten years. In the meantime property values out west will materially strengthen, which in turn indirectly will benefit Anaheim many-fold. MOVE UP, IN FRONT THE big land owner, the man who sits back in ease, who persists in holding his acreage untouched, is really standing in his own light, so far as reaping any pecuniary gain—if that be his motive. Some rich men acquire a sort of hobby in holding tight to their vast estates, which have been passed to them, believing in turn they, too, should will it to heirs yet to come, as a family heritage. But this is not fair to the smaller investor who would like to get in on the ground floor. BLUNTING CUPID'S ARROW RECENT decision of a high court says that all community property is subject to the husband's debts, and hubby is in full and exclusive control of the family fortune. Whether this works both ways, and applies likewise to the wife's obligations, does not appear upon the surface. EDDIE, PACK THE BAGS WEALTHY landowner from the southernmost tip of Mexico, visiting in this country, tells interesting stories about that section below the Rio Grande. He says the country is still practically its original condition of wildness and beauty. It is inhabited chiefly by the Maya Indians. The men have as many as eight wives, and are of mild and generous temperament. It is the custom for an Indian host to offer his guest entering his Christie, division of fruit products, College of Agriculture. 1:50 p.m. — "Codling Moth Control," S. W. Flanders, entomologist, Saticoy Walnut Growers' association, Saticoy. 2:10 p.m. — "What California Can Learn From European Walnut Growers," Dr. L. D. Batchelor, citrus experiment station, Riverside. SPLIT AMONG LEAGUERS Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy and ardent league of nations fan, is the latest of the Wilsonian school to declare that our entrance to the world court will be followed by the plunge into the league of nations. Mr. Daniels lines up with Senator Bruce as against Senators Swanson and Walsh who deny that the world court has any connection with the league that will involve the United States in European politics. This disagreement in the camp of those who still cherish American membership in the league of nations is rapidly becoming more apparent. Many Democratic leaders who were ardent admirers of Woodrow Wilson and his followers resent the attitude of Democratic senators who declare that we can safely enter the world court because it has no actual connection with the league of nations. Those who still support the Wilson ideals declare that if the league was a good thing for the United States in 1920 it is a good thing now and that the Democratic senators who are now advocating the world court because, as they say, it can be divorced from the league, are not living up to the Democratic platform. This disagreement in the league camp renders it all the more important that any adherence to the world court by the United States must be so clarified by discussion and by adequate reservations that there can be no doubt that Uncle Sam will not be engaging in any European commitments, which might hamper his freedom of action in the future. If you don't believe so just listen to what Josephus Daniels has to say on the subject: "The league of nations," he said, "is the only medium by which war can be outlawed and universal peace attained." The world court is only a step into the league, and the United States must join the court and then the league."

NEW YORK HAS OVER A MILLION ALIENS There are 1,494,000 aliens in New York state according to the 1925 census and of this number 1,125,000 aliens reside in New York City. This is out of a population of less than six millions and shows the tremendous influence which Europe and her citizens bring to bear on the chief city of the nation. It has long been asserted that New York was the least representatively American of all our large cities, and it is often the case that the metropolis and the rest of the country are at odds as regard national and international policies. This is doubtless due to the large European population in New York and the close contact which the city has with Europe because of its great port. The number of aliens in New York, however, is decreasing rather than increasing. In 1915 there were over 1,600,000 aliens in New York state and 1,204,000 in New York City. These figures are above those of 1925. In the meantime the population of the state and city have increased during the decade, so that the percentage of aliens to the total population is decidedly smaller than ten years ago. The reason given for this is the stringent immigration laws. A goodly part of all the aliens swarming into New York city remained in the foreign quarters of the city. This was especially true of the immigrants from eastern and southern Europe. Now that the influx of people from these sections has been cut off, the alien population of New York is beginning to increase. Immune It was a wet, slushy day, and little Johnny wanted to go out and play. "No, you can't go. It's too wet. You'll get your feet soaked and catch cold." "Aw, please mama. That won't hurt. I've got one already." GOVERNMENTAL COST IN STATES ON INCREASE Further indication of the increase in local government is given in figures just made public by the census bureau of the Department of Commerce which show that the governmental cost of the forty-eight states has tripled in the last nine years. In only twenty-one of the states was the revenue in 1924 sufficient to meet all the payments during the year. Payments in excess of receipts were made from the debt obligations. In 1915 the revenue receipts were $458,233,000 while in 1924 they had grown to $1,370,000,000. Most of this increase in the state revenues came from increased taxes. A little more than 60 per cent of the cost of the state governments was for operating the various state departments. Outside of this expenditure of nearly 80 per cent of the remaining revenue was for highway and waterway construction. The figures put the total cost of state governments in 1924 at $1,513,628,021 and the comparable figures for 1915 were given as $494,907,000. The gross debt of the states outstanding at the end of 1924 was $1,738,605,571, or $15.62 per capita, consisting of $1,449,460,355 funded or fixed, $44,949,526 floating, $65,199,-557 in revenue loans, $33,033,508 outstanding warrants and $145,962,625 in obligations on private trust accounts. A net debt remained of $1,183,467,000, or $10.63 per capita, after making provision for sinking fund assets. The net debt in 1915 was but $424,155,000, or $4-31 per capita. The analysis shows that the assessed valuation of property of the states subject to general property taxes amounted in 1924 to $131,333,557,565, or a per capita of $1,180. The total levy for the government of the states of the general property tax amounted to $368,083,710, or $3.31 per capita. YOUR ADVERTISING PAVE THE WAY For Better Business NE carpenter does not go to work until the stone mason has laid the foundation. The tiler does not lay his tile until the plumber put in his pipes. Yet your salesman is expected to go to work where advertising has laid the foundation for the he is expected to make. When you hire a salesman, the thing you in- in is his time. The time of a good salesman is too valuable but in on work that can be done at less expense another way. It is one thing to make the name and service your business known to the buying public. It is her thing to close the sale after they come your place of business. Use advertising for the first.
