LOCAL BREVITIES An overturned automobile on La Palma avenue got the fire boys out of bed at the unholy hour of 3 o'clock this morning. The car caught fire after turning turtle, and was entirely consumed, with the exception of the metal parts. Alfred Pellegrin, who is under treatment at the Marine hospital in San Diego for a long-standing allment, is reported now on the road to recovery. He added eight pounds to his weight last week, and it is believed he will soon regain his usual good health. Superintendent M. A. Gauer and 10 of the grammar school teachers attended a meeting of the Orange County Teachers' Association at Huntington Beach Tuesday night. It was an extremely interesting meeting, according to Professor Gauer. Mrs. Alice Campbell, Los Angeles, widow of the late Elmer E. Campbell, express messenger, who was shot to death by train robbers near here last August, has been awarded $5000 by the state accident commission. Campbell was express messenger on a San Diego-Los Angeles passenger train. His body was found lying in a pool of blood, in the mail coach, when the train pulled into the Santa Ana station. Several mail sacks had been stolen and a rope ladder was found dangling from the top of the car. Campbell had been shot through the forehead, and he died in the Santa Ana Valley hospital several days later. Railway detectives have been working on the case since that time. E. S. Gregory, who has built a total of 300 homes here in the past 10 years, has taken out permits for seven new five and six-room bungalows, according to Building Inspector Grover C. Waters. The permits amounted to approximately $21,000. All of the houses will be of the latest type. The homes are to be placed on North Marwood avenue. Building activity has increased most during the last three KIwanis Club Hears H. C. Rutledge The Kiwanis Club heard an address last Tuesday by H. C. Rutledge of the Orange County Business College, who spoke on "Salesmanship." Mr. Rutledge touched on the various elements which put together made a sale. Attention, interest, desire, action are the steps through which a prospect must be taken. Every one has something to sell today. This may be merchandise, service, personal services or anything that the business world classes as a commodity. The old method of taking the buyer out to dinner then to a show and walking away with the order does not work any more. Today the plane of salesmanship is vastly higher than it used to be. Men are now shod on a clear business-like presentation of the commodity offered, and the buyer has definite standards by which the goods are measured. Henson Farls read his autobiography and gave in detail some of his experiences as a book agent. He recommended a kindly attitude toward all book agents. We wonder if he will take this advice himself. Dr. W. N. Palmer, L. P. Bonnat and Arthur Cohen put on a comedy skit. They gave a good idea of the way people considered a railroad not so many years ago. Membership Drive For County Fair The membership campaign for the Orange County Community Fair is now in full swing and fair officials are well pleased with results being obtained. A county-wide committee of 85 members is busy signing up the supporters for the fair and are meeting with excellent results. The Garden Grove district is leading in the early returns. President H. A.

The permits amounted to approximately $21,000. All of the houses will be of the latest type. The homes are to be placed on North Marwood avenue. Building activity has increased to a great extent during the last three or four months, and homes have never sold faster in Fullerton than during this period, according to Mr. Gregory. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams and daughters, Katherine and Martha, and Mr. and Mrs. U. F. Steadman, Misses Lela and Irma Steadman and Miss Ida Bentz drove up to Silverado canyon on Sunday and spent a very pleasant day at the mountain cabin of Mr. and Mrs. Adams.

"In the directory are 200 new listings," Manager Beard said, in pointing out the importance of using the new book exclusively immediately upon its receipt."These new listings," he explained,"includes telephones added to the system from the time of the printing of the last directory up to February 1, and also all changes of numbers and addresses during the same period of time." "Because of the large number of new listings, it will mean more satisfactory service if customers do not call from memory, but refer to the new book before placing each call," Manager Beard said."This is also a good time to throw away all 'handy lists' of numbers and other substitutes for directories.Such lists may possibly save a few seconds of time in finding a number, but they are inaccurate and they get old.The calling of one wrong number from such a list will waste more time and patience than is saved in the calling of a good many right numbers.Whether there is a telephone, a directory should be nearby, and the most satisfactory and prompt service is obtained when one forms the habit of referring to the book before each call. "At the same time as the deliverymen distribute the directories they pick up the old ones.Many people consider the directory a handy place in which to secret things for awhile They then forget all about it, with the result that when the new books are delivered and the old ones collected, the hidden..."

Citrus Institute Holds Discussion Overhead Irrigation Explained By Investigators Some new ideas were discussed at the citrus institute held in connection with the recent National Orange Show. The meeting was held February 23, and about 300 attended. Farm Advisor H. J. Wilder stated at the opening that the gathering was planned as a growers' institute, and to that end plenty of time for discussions was made available. One of the most interesting papers was that of F. H. McPherson, San Gabriel, on overhead irrigation. While overhead irrigation is not new, it is comparatively recent in its application to orange groves. Mr. McPherson has grown citrus fruits for many years and has used the overhead system for three seasons. He claimed for the system the saving of much labor in field operations, elimination of plowsole, conservation of water, thorough watering of root systems, checking of silt carrying, control of red spider, advantages in connection with carrying fertilizers, checking on June drop, cleaning of fruit and keeping the trees fresh and green. The chief drawback seemed to be the initial cost of installation. Various methods of applying overhead water were discussed. F. J. Vehlmeyer of the state college of agriculture took up the question of what becomes of the irrigation water. His theory, supported by investigational work conducted at Davis, is that moisture losses by capillary rise are not as important as has been believed heretofore, and that the benefits of dust mulches have been overestimated. At the same time as the delivery-men distribute the new directories they pick up the old ones. Many people consider the directory a handy place in which to secret things for awhile They then forget all about it, with the result that when the new books are delivered and the old ones collected, the hidden things go along with the discarded books. "One woman recently telephoned that she had stored $35 in her old book which she had forgotten all about. A search through hundreds of books finally located the missing money, which was promptly returned to its owner Another customer, a man, banked $80 in his directory, which was found only after an extended search, a penniled name on the cover finally leading to the identification of the volume. Besides money, people find telephone books a handy depository for many other things. Last year in one telephone book a $1000 bond was discovered Combs, penills, letters and all sorts of small articles are frequently found In all cases such articles are returned to their owners when it is possible to identify them." "The classified section of the new book conforms to the recently inaugurated improved set-up which will soon be standard for all Bell system."

It is a harmony in dramatic form of the resurrection material in the four Gospels. The audience will live through the events which made Believers of the first Christians. It is a beautiful spectacle, thrillingly inspirational, enhanced by melodious music of strongly interpretative quality. We ought to make its rendition one of the local church traditions of all Anaheim. Let every one give unstinted co-operation. F. J. Vehlmeyer of the state college of agriculture took up the question of what becomes of the irrigation water. His theory, supported by investigational work conducted at Davis, is that moisture losses by capillary rise are not as important as has been believed heretofore, and that the benefits of dust mulches have been overestimated. According to Mr. Vehlmeyer, the greatest water losses are through the transpiration of plant leaves. He pointed out that the removal of weeds is vital, however. W. M. Mertz, Ontario, urged the conservation of every drop of irrigation water and suggested a number of ways whereby this might be done. A report on mottle leaf investigations by Dr. A. R. C. Haas of the citrus experiment station was quite technical. He said that while nobody has discovered a cure so far, investigators believe that the cause is improper balance of plant food materials. Mottle leaf appears when there is not enough calcium in soluble form, he said, and when enough available calcium is applied the trouble disappears gradually. At the business session Arthur Brown and Mr. Wilder of San Bernardino and R. O. Price, Upland, were chosen as a committee to co-operate with the inter-county citrus departments of the seven southern county farm burcaus in arranging a program for the 1927 institute.

IN PLAIN ENGLISH Total indebtedness of state and local governments at beginning of 1926, amounted to $11,630,000,000 an increase of 34 per cent in the past three years. After allowing for decrease in the purchasing power of the dollar and increase in population since 1913, the national industrial conference board finds that the indebtedness incurred per capita in the last five years is 40 per cent higher than in 1913. Interest charges on new bonds issued since 1913, amounted to more than the average annual borrowing during the decade from 1904 to 1913. "We continue reducing the national debt," says Frederick Palmer in the American Legion Weekly, "and we are again reducing national taxes. But extravagant borrowing continues to increase state, city and town debts and taxes. When they are short of money or need to finance a new project, they float more bonds. Each project is worth the cost only if it gives back full value to the public. Every dollar of interest on any kind of a public bond is another dollar in taxes; and every dollar in taxes is another dollar that comes out of the people in increased cost of living. The landlord who has to pay more taxes raises the rent on your house and on the store where you buy your food. All the economy cannot be practiced by the housewife and the national government. Look out for the waste between the home unit and the national unit. Make sure that you get value delivered in the new bridges, roads, and streets, and that no project is just an opportunity to sell bonds."
