Records Broken By Citrus Season Shipments This Year Larger Than Ever Before California as a whole is just completing a year of record citrus shipments. The oranges and lemons, combined, is larger than has ever gone forward in any previous season. Indications are that by the last of October, the fiscal end of California's citrus year, the California Fruit Growers' Exchange will have sent forward over 52,000 cars of oranges and lemons. Based on the exchange percentage, this will give a total for the state of approximately 70,000 cars of citrus. It is interesting to note that the big increase in this year's tonnage is entirely in lemons and Valenclas. Navels, in fact, fall somewhat below the high mark of the 1923-1924 season. Due to the large production not only of citrus fruits, but of all varieties of competing fruits, the market has been extremely sensitive all season, and it is felt that serious price declines would have ensued had there not been a responsive consumer demand due to the fine quality of this season's crop and to the new and extended uses developed by exchange advertising. It is claimed that by far the larger portion of the Valencia crop is disposed of for juice purposes in the home and at fountains. Thirty-two thousand Sunkist juice extractors dispose of over 4000 cars of citrus fruits annually in drug stores and at juice stands. Beauty and health uses of lemons, promoted on a year round basis, are taking more and more lemons each year in what were formerly considered "off seasons." West Point Cadet To Be Appointed Examinations for choosing a candidate to enter the United States military academy at West Point next June are Athletic Activities of Southern California Southern California seems destined to have high-flying pole vaulters for at least four more years. It was revealed this week, when Ralph Smith of San Diego entered the Trojan institution. Smith, as a member of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, last year cleared 13 feet 3½ inches just after Lee Barnes, sophomore vaulter, had gone 13 feet 4½ inches. Barnes will be a junior this year, and is eligible for two seasons. He set a new American record of 13 feet 8 inches at the Pacific Coast Conference meet in Palo Alto on May 15. With Barnes this year will be Jack Williams, a sophomore, who cleared 13 feet 1 inch in high school. Another freshman pole vault star also entered Southern California this week. He is Marshall Beeeman of Armigo, Calif., who has a record of 12 feet 8 inches. In 1927 these four men will all be eligible and should keep the Trojans in the aerial limelight. In view of returning lettermen, the Northwest seems to be as well fixed with veteran material as are the Southern California Trojans, whose material is being slated as the best in the conference. Twenty-one lettermen return for the Trojan squad, and of these 19 are from the 1925 squad. Washington is next with 20 lettermen. The Oregon Aggles will have 19 monogram veterans in suit. Stanford will have a nucleus of 13, and California, Washington State and Montana present 12 each. Idaho has 10 lettermen, and Oregon will probably have the same number back. Football practice started September 15 throughout the Coast Conference. Five of the conference teams have practice games on September 25, ten days after practice starts. The Trojans meet Whittier, California clashes with Santa Clara, Stanford battles Cal. Tech and Fresno State both, the Oregon Aggles have an engagement with the Multnomah Club and Washington scraps with two Navy outfits.

In accordance with established custom, Congressman Swing is calling upon the United State civil service commission to hold an examination throughout the district on October 23, 1926, for the purpose of determining the mental qualifications of the applicants. From those rating the highest, according to educational standards as shown by the examination, additional information will be asked as to physical and moral qualifications, and as to natural ability for leadership. The one making the best all-round showing will be nominated for admission to West Point. The candidates must, at the date of admission, be between the ages of 17 and 22 years. The United States civil service commission requires those who intend to take the examination to get a letter from their congressman, and this he will be glad to give to any boy interested who is a resident of the district, together with detailed information regarding the examination. Four Thousand Attend Big Swimming Meet With 4000 people on hand to cheer, 16 Pacific coast championship swimming events were staged at Balboa Newport bay on Sunday last. Swimmers from all parts of the state were entered. Seven notable individuals made the trip from San Francisco to compete in the events. A large group came from San Diego, while Hollywood, Pasadena, Riverside, as well as Los Angeles, Venice, Ocean Park and Santa Monica, were represented. Leslie Henry, well-known chairman of the swimming meet of the Amateur Athletic Union, had charge of the meet, while Fred Cady of the Los Angeles Athletic Club acted as starter. All officials, time-keepers and judges were appointed by the A.A.U. for the coast, and sanction for the meet was secured from the eastern officials of the A.A.U., making the event officially recognizable throughout the country. The great value of this meet was in the calling to the attention of hundreds of swimming enthusiasts the great advantages of Newport bay for water sports. Visitors from all over Southern California were enthusiastic over the splendid opportunities for swimming, and found every arrangement for the swim meet carried out to completeness. A movement to hold the next A.A.U. swim meet at Newport Bay has been made. The city of Newport Beach Stanford will have a nucleus of 15, California, Washington State and Montana present 12 each.

Richfield has no second quality gasoline; no cut rate price to either dealer or motorist! Every gallon of this fame The great value of this meet was in the calling to the attention of hundreds of swimming enthusiasts the great advantages of Newport bay for water sports. Visitors from all over Southern California were enthusiastic over the splendid opportunities for swimming, and found every arrangement for the swim meet carried out to completeness. A movement to hold the next A.A.U. swim meet at Newport Bay has been initiated. The city of Newport Beach financed the arrangements for the Pacific coast meet. This is the first of a series of water events which will be held during the winter months at the popular Newport-Balboa resort, and for which Newport bay is so ideally adapted. MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES The department of commerce announces that, according to the returns received, there were 55,080 marriages performed in California during the year 1925, as compared with 55,677 in 1924, representing a decrease of 597, or 1.1 per cent. During the year 1925 there were 10,623 divorces granted in the state, as compared with 11,258 in 1924, representing a decrease of 635, or 5.6 per cent. The estimated population of the state of California on July 1, 1925, was 4,178,708, and on July 1, 1924, 4,048,503. On the basis of these estimates, the number of marriages per 1000 of the population was 12.2 in 1925, as against 13.8 in 1924; and the number of divorces per 1000 of the population was 2.54 in 1925, as against 2.78 in 1924. The number of marriages was furnished by the state board of health, and the number of divorces by the county clerk of each county. The figures for 1925 are preliminary and subject to correction. There were 4535 marriages in Orange county in 1925 and only 175 divorces. Orange was third in the number of marriages, being exceeded only by Los Angeles and San Francisco. One way you can gain weight rapidly is to get weighed on the ice man's scales. Keeping Close Tab On Hunters of Deer Unusual Efforts Being Made to Prevent Forest Fires Any deer hunter who goes into the Cleveland national forest during the open season of a month, starting yesterday, and who starts a fire will have a forest ranger on his trail pronto. Forest rangers are to be stationed at advantageous points so that hunters can be registered as they start in on their hunts. They will be expected to tell where they are going and how long they propose staying. Then each hunter will be handed a slip of paper that contains some specific suggestions and instructions. "The purpose of this action," said J. E. Elliott of San Diego, supervisor of the Cleveland forest, "is to aid in keeping man-caused fires down to a minimum." "The deer season is always a worrisome period," said Forest Ranger J. B. Stephenson of Corona, who has been at the county fair this week, representing the forest service. "It comes during the dry season and hunters go into places not ordinarily frequented by visitors in the forest." Much of the Cleveland forest in the Santa Ana mountains is covered by a state game refuge. In order to register hunters, four forest service men have been detailed. Ranger William Clark is to do the registering at Corona; Patrolman W. F. Benedict at the Black Star crossing in the Santiago canyon; Ranger L. L. Carpenter at Govina road, in the San Juan canyon, and Ranger W. E. Searcy in Trabuco canyon. BACK TO SCHOOL New life is astir in town this week. Something like 20 per cent of the city's population is resuming operations, not in store, office and factory, but in one of the city's largest businesses, the schools. It is a great day in the lives of boys and girls. To these young people it means more than the renewal of certain associations, a chance to play, to laugh, to be going and to be doing new things. Vague as the idea may be in many of their minds, these boys and girls sense the real importance of the work they are undertaking. There will be few, if any, laggards in the throngs that turn to the school buildings. We challenge the photographers to find those wry faces and reluctant steps that traditionally have been associated with a return to books. Maybe it is because going to school these modern days does not mean primarily a concern with books—valuable as books are in education. At least, there isn't the kind of dealing with books that children of a former generation knew. Education today has been humanized in a new fashion. It has been made an agency not for the corralling and forcible instruction of youth by set formula, whether youth would or no, but for the kindly and tactful guidance of youth into new and broader worlds of thought and action. It has become a co-operative enterprise, a joint and entirely volunteer endeavor. It needs no "master," and it is without the antagonism, resentment and resort to force which the old system involved. The whole community may share the enthusiasm of its army of youth which is again in motion. Who, in fact, doesn't recall the thrill of the first day in school, whether it was the actual beginning or simply the renewal of work? In reality, we are all in school, or should be, every day—learning something, broadening our outlook, catching new visions, seeing new possibilities in life, making new friends. There is a lesson and an inspiration in the re-opening of school. COST OF CARLESSNESS One little thoughtless act may start a holocaust. A few nights ago a motorist traveling the coast highway between Santa Maria and Santa Barbara tossed a cigarette stub from the car. It dropped into a clump of dry grass at the roadside. A stiff breeze fanned it into a blaze. Another motorist following closely behind the unconscious firebug noticed the incipient flame and stopped for the purpose of extinguishing it. With his companion he worked feverishly and believed he had accomplished his aim, when a gust picked up some of the embers and deposited them in a tinder-like pile of leaves near a live oak tree. A few hours later the confession was raging along an 18-mile front in the vicinity of Gaviota Pass, threatening an oil refinery and tanks near Alcatraz. Thousands of acres of timber, pasture and farm land were swept and much damage was done. All due to one man's carelessness. This actual occurrence is typical of many incidents which every season make deep inroads into the material resources of the country and oftentimes take a heavy toll of human life. In forest losses alone, burning tobacco, neglected campfires, and other forms of mental lapses on the part of individuals or groups, are responsible for such damage that serious thought is given by the authorities to the proposal that the public be denied the privilege of access to the vacation ranges. Even if this could be done, it would not protect against such instances as that which made the Gaviota region a veritable inferno. Main highways cannot be closed to smokers, and a non-smoking regulation would be virtually impossible of enforcement. The solution is greater care, more earnest and constant concern for the common interest Every tourist or camper must constitute himself or herself a voluntary fire warden, who is ever on guard when danger threatens, as it does at all times during the dry months in California.

H. Thompson, president of the Federal Land Bank of Springfield, Mass. "Farms with good woodlands sell readily, but after the merchantable growth is completely removed, their value will apparently be depreciated considerably more than the actual stumpage value of the timber removed. A well timbered farm that will sell for $3000 would not bring over $1000 if completely stripped of timber that has a present stumpage value of $1000."
