OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR MAKING THE ENDS MEET A PRACTICAL demonstration of what may be accomplished here in citrus culture has been announced by a gentleman who owns ten acres of oranges east of town. Five years ago he contracted to buy his uncultivated acreage, having borrowed enough money to finance the deal. He set the tract to Valencia oranges and, being thrifty and eager to succeed, he devoted his entire time to the care of his orchard. This man knows that in order to make trees bear good fruit they must be given strength through fertilization. This alone is a complex question, and a grower should know what kind of fertilizer is best suited to his land. Irrigation is important at the proper time, and so is cultivation and other lines of endeavor required to gain fruitfulness. All this has been done, and the result is this man has an excellent property. But the gist of this story is that at the end of these five years this progressive grower has wiped his slate clean. That is, he has paid for his land and all the expenses incurred through the sale of his fruit. Of course, the first three years netted him nothing, the fourth brought in a tidy sum; but the fifth year, with a fine crop of oranges, has liquidated his debt. The average per acre is a little in excess of one thousand dollars for the ten acres. From now on the revenue from this grove, minus expenses, will be what you call "velvet." CHALKING IT UP ON THE ICE A SLICK trick has been worked on some of the merchants roundabout by young maidens who will breeze into a modiste's place of business and ask to be harnessed up—usually the fair one wanting a complete wedding outfit and all the trimmings. After being rigged out in all her splendor, the coy little creature blushingly informs the lady behind the counter that she will be soon married and her intended will step up and pay the bill. But here is where the shoe pinches. After the chimes of the wedding bells have ceased to function, the husband, it is learned, has only married the woman, but not her debts! And it is also stated with grief, that this holds good, since there is no community property. Then all the modiste has to do is to heave a sigh, and say oh my, and wonder what they are going to spring next.

RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES CORRESPONDENTS in Europe point a gloomy pen picture of one of those proud countries. It is even hinted that one of the empires is near a financial collapse. One writer likens the situation to the squirrel in the cage, who, he says, treads his little wheel, turning and turning with rapidity, moves with an enormous velocity and gets nowhere, remaining always inside the cage, finally becoming exhausted. Over there they will need a Moses to lead them out of the wilderness, but first of all the people must get the fight germ out of their system and go to work and earn an honest dollar. THINK IT OVER MAN who knows says this country (any country for that matter) should control everything that wars are made out of, such as powder, gas, bullets, steel—any destructive thing—because then people who want war could not start one. War is a game of greed—some men make money out of it—while the poor unfortunate who carries the gun pays with his life, leaving a trail of sorrow and despair behind him. Men have been drafted and sent to the firing-line. Some people think the dollar also should have been drafted. DIPPING INTO THE STOCKING YOUNG men students of an inland town are rebelling against paying all the expenses of dates with the women when, in most cases, the females have more money than they have. The young gallants want in on a fifty-fifty basis. And the fair damsels stage a comeback by declaring that if they have to pay, they reserve the right to make their own dates, even though it's not leap year, if it is going to be a Dutch treat. LOOKS LIKE THE COOKIE STAGE ADVANCEMENT in the photographer's art has progressed so much that pictures of both male and female persons seen so often in the publicity columns are bewildering. It seems like a process of rejuvenation, or such, face lifting or what not, for the subject looks chic, youthful and fair upon which to rest the eye. Uncle Reuben has become perplexed thereat, for he cannot now tell whether it is the parent or the child. SOLONG, MARS, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF SCIENTISTS say that the planet Mars, a few days ago, reached the point nearest the earth, when it was in excess of 42,000,000 miles away. This is seven million miles further away than when the planet was closest to the earth at the opposition, two years ago. The scientists say that Mars in 1924 was well south of the equator and now is about sixteen degrees north, and going strong. THE JUNGLE POT IS SIMMERING REPORTS from Java say 200 cannibals, armed with bows and arrows, made an attack on a transport party belonging to an American expedition in the New Guinea wilderness.

Just why real sane people go galavanting down there is past finding out, all the more so on account of the natives preferring the white to the dark meat. HE'S IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW MAN high in authority in another county got away with a whole lot of money by using fictitious names on his road payroll and then appropriating the pay checks to his own use. Investigation revealed that the indorsements on the checks were forged by him. WONDER WHO'S KISSING HER NOW THE way some of the sheiks administer those long, limped, lingering kisses upon the leading lady, Uncle Reuben rises to ask what the "old man" at home thinks about it. ROLLING BACK SCROLL OF TIME WOMAN of 50 years has set out to prove to an incredulous world that she can live as long as she desires, by a new method of demonstration shewill invoke for a period of six months. The woman is quoted as saying she will show the way to eternal life on this planet, as it is all in the mental vibrations, which she says one must develop and exercise. It is said if one learns the secret of developing the highest vibration, then the mind is absolutely master of the body. In other words, the lady declares there is no use to die until one desires to live no longer. CHINA THE NEXT STOP ONE of the oil companies in this section has a well down over 8000 feet and still drilling. It is said to be the deepest hole in the world, and so far is classed among the oil experts as being a duster. WHEN PA TRIES THE RADIO By A. B.
