HOME FROM FRESNO Returning home Sunday evening from the California Scholarship Federation at Fresno, Tommy Kuchel and Matha Adams, president and vice-president, respectively, of the Anaheim Union High School Honor Society, brought back the results of an all-day session of the federation. Gold was adopted as the color; "Scholarship for Service" was taken as the motto. Several discussions ended the morning session, probably the most interesting of which was over a novitiate pin. In the fall convention, which will be held in December, at San Diego, this subject will come up again for debate. The federation was almost unanimous in favor of holding the next spring convention at Sacramento. This will be in April, 1928. At 1 o'clock, a banquet was given in the Fresno high school cafeteria. At 3 o'clock, the students were separated into groups to talk over important questions. At the conclusion of these round-table discussions, the Fresno Honor Society gave a dance for students and a tea for faculty advisors. There were about 500 students present at the convention. With material collected at the convention, the two officers of the local chapter will guide its activities to a higher standing, both scholastic and social, it is believed. OUR FOOTBALL CHANCES With spring football very close at hand and the football class taking five periods a week studying next year's plays, our high school seems to have high hopes of bringing home the bacon for a change. If we look back over past Orange League records, it is surprisingly displeasing to note that Anaheim, guided by many hands, has never possessed a county varsity football title—at least not since the writer has been able to read. Perhaps, because it has not backed up the team as it should, the public should be reprimanded. This year the public has given better support than ever before. The team also made its best showing this year. "Another year, another chance," and perhaps 1928 will see a winning team. LOCAL BREVITIES Miss Martha Adams and Tommy Kuchel returned on Sunday evening from Fresno, where they attended the state convention of high school honor societies. Their teacher, Mrs. Fay Kern Schulz, remained in Fresno, visiting with relatives. They were met in Los Angeles by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams and were brought home. A very enjoyable program was participated in at the convention, there being upward of five hundred delegates present. Meetings were held at the high school auditorium, and visiting delegates were given a courteous and hospitable welcome. Merton W. Skinner, of Anaheim, charges his wife, Elsie P. Skinner, with desertion, in a divorce complaint filed in superior court through Attorney Roger C. Dutton. Skinner alleges that when it became necessary for the Skimmers to move from Anaheim to their ranch at Orangethpe, Mrs. Skinner refused to leave their residence at 211 West Chartres street, Anaheim. The Skimmers have three children. They were married at Anaheim in 1906. A property settlement had been made, the divorce complaint states. The Raggers' reunion has been postponed till Thursday, April 21. It will be held at Hillercrest park, Fullerton, and all Y. M. C. A. Raggers in the county will be privileged to attend. Conrad Jongewaard, local "Y" secretary, will take a group of Anaheim Raggers to the county reunion. The public is advised that, in deference to church observance of Holy Week, Anaheim post No. 72, American Legion, has postponed its benefit concert and vaudeville entertainment to Thursday, April 28. This entertainment will take place at the local high school auditorium, with the program scheduled to start at 8 p.m. SNOW AND WILD FLOWERS Snowballing amid myriads of wild flowers north of the Ridge route on Monday was the pastime enjoyed by new sparks.

The team also made its best showing this year. "Another year, another chance," and perhaps 1928 will see a winning team produced in our high school. Let's have the public do their part, too! MEXICO NEEDS TREATY General Obregon, former president of Mexico and likely to be again chosen to that office, is quoted as saying, that the time is not yet ripe for a treaty of amity and commerce between the sister republics facing each other across the Rio Grande. Such a treaty has not existed since the days of Porfirio Díaz. It might be said that since that time there has not been a president or government in Mexico fully capable of performing all the requirements of such a treaty. Most of the administrations have been the direct or indirect result of revolution, and all of them, including the apparently regularly elected one of President Callez, has had difficulty in maintaining itself against revolution. Even the Calles government would have been overthrown, in all probability, had not the United States prevented the shipment of arms and munitions into that country for revolutionary purposes. It seems strange, then, to hear Obregon say: "We must not think about such a treaty before most cordial and sincere relations are established entilling us to enjoy mutual confidence." We have treaties with practically every government in the world. Their making did not await "cordial and sincere relations." On the contrary, they were entered into primarily to secure such relations. "Mutual confidence between nations is prompted by the existence of mutually beneficial and acceptable treaties, faithfully performed." The best way for Mexico and the United States to get upon a basis of justice and mutual regard is to frame a definite treaty covering their relations and responsibilities and protecting the lives and property of their nationals. That is what the United States wants. It is absurd for Mexico to refuse to enter into such a treaty and to expect that relations would become better rather than worse without it. It is going contrary to the history of international relations to expect such a thing. LEMON PROSPECTS Although it is too early to state definitely what the Sicilian "verdellii" lemon crop for 1926 will be, the outlook at the first of March was very favorable in the Catania district, according to a report from Consul Ilo C. Funk, received in the department of agriculture. The public is advised that, in deference to church observance of Holy Week, Anaheim post No. 72, American Legion, has postponed its benefit concert and vaudeville entertainment to Thursday, April 28. This entertainment will take place at the local high school auditorium, with the program scheduled to start at 8 p.m. SNOW AND WILD FLOWERS Snowballing amid myriads of wild flowers north of the Ridge route on Monday was the pastime enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Bob Fowler and their three children, who were driving home from a visit with relatives at Fresno. The highway through Kern county passed through miles upon miles of wild flowers of every variegated hue, and as far as one could see were a delight to the eye. They were never in such riotous profusion, and the scene will be one long to be remembered. Coming on to the Ridge route a dry snow began falling, and Bob and his family could not resist the temptation of alighting and engaging in a little harmless snowballing. A large snow man was built at the edge of the road. Bob drove up on Saturday morning; wrote a nice insurance policy; called on his sister, and took the children out to see the zoo, where one of the ostriches snapped up the little boy's cap and refused to return it. The homeward trip was made on Monday, and they arrived home without further mishap. STATE OPERATING COSTS Every Californiaian should have paid $14.48 during the period of June 30, 1925, to June 30, 1926, to maintain and operate the general departments of the state, for the cost of such operations amounted to $61,529,767. The comparative per capital cost for the prior fiscal year was $14.68, annual, in 1918, amounted to $7.18. According to these statistics, issued by the United States department of commerce, our per capita load doubled in seven years and was decreased 20 cents in the 1926 period. Being thankful for the smallest of favors, we appreciate that 20-cent reduction. California received $21.65 per capita in 1926, or a total of $91,948,242, making $24,196,568 more than all payments; the excess in revenue receipts going into investments and increased cash balances. Since the revenue was adequate, we had no general property tax levied in 1926. The net indebtedness of California on June 30, 1926, was $100,389,-955, or $23.63 per capita. This is more than double the indebtedness per capita in 1918 ($12.19) and $1.59 less than in 1925. We have not been able to locate the benefactor who claims the credit for saving us the 20 cents in 1926; there should be plenty of candidates. Pomona Papers Consolidate Another well-known and influential newspaper has passed. This time LEMON PROSPECTS Although it is too early to state definitely what the Sicilian "verdellii" lemon crop for 1926 will be, the outlook at the first of March was very favorable in the Catania district, according to a report from Consul Ilo C. Funk, received in the department of agriculture. Barring inclement weather and other unforeseen circumstances, the output promised to be considerably higher than last year, when the crop was damaged by hail, estimates being that the yield will be at least 10 per cent over the 1925 crop and only about 30 per cent under a so-called normal output. Up to the last few days of February climatic conditions were not entirely favorable because of the long dry period that has been experienced, and it was feared that the drought would affect the crop unfavorably, but at the end of February and early in March widespread rains fell and prospects were greatly improved. The consul states that the outlook was favorable for a continuation of rainy weather and that the only fear felt for the future of the crop was possibility of damage by hail or cold weather. Cable reports received since the preparation of the consul's report indicate that rain and some bad weather have been experienced in Sicily since that time, but that damage even to almond trees was very slight. While the "verdellii" lemons cultivated in the Catania consular district are not so important a crop as in other sections, conditions prevailing there usually give some indication of the situation in other parts of the island. If chicks get too cold, they crowd together in the hover and try to get nearer the heat. They should settle down in an even ring around the outer edge of the hover. If they crowd to one side, put them around evenly. If they insist on crowding to one side, look for trouble. It's often a strong draught or a direct light. Pomona Papers Consolidate Another well-known and influential newspaper has passed. This time the forces of consolidation have been working close at home. The Pomona Bulletin issued its last edition on Sunday. On Monday it was consolidated with the Pomona Progress and henceforth the paper is to be the Progress-Bulletin. Pomont joins the ever-increasing list of cities with one newspaper. The economic factors have forced into consolidation or consolidation hundreds of newspapers during the past year. There is the continued cry from the public for better newspapers. In many communities there is not the revenue sufficient to provide two good newspapers. In these communities the inevitable is happening, newspapers are being forced into consolidation. News-papers even in the smaller cities have become big businesses, and the day has passed when one can be operated either with inadequate capital or inadequate machinery. Cows don't run a very high temperature with milk fever. In fact, fever is usually absent. More often than not, the body temperature of the cow goes down instead of up. The disease is in reality a form of paralysis incident to calving. It generally comes on within a couple of days after the birth of the calf. The most common method of treating milk fever is by injecting sterile atmospheric air into the udder. This air treatment is not only simple, but it's highly effective. Milk helps chicks in a lot of different ways. It stimulates growth; it helps prevent disease. If you can, give the chicks milk to drink the first six or eight weeks. NEW SPEED RECORD The establishment of a new world's automobile speed record at Daytona Beach by Major Segravo marks the continual improvement in design of automobile engines. The car which was driven by Major Segrave and which attained a speed of 207 miles per hour is 22 feet long with a wheel base of 11 feet 2 inches, and weighs over three tons. It is equipped with two 12-cylinder aviation engines, each of which develops 500 horsepower. The car is built of steel to withstand the strain of speed and the wind resistance. The car is certain to make 75 miles an hour in low gear, 140 miles in second and over 200 miles an hour in high gear. Daytona Beach, where the speed record was made, is 500 feet wide at low tide and the surface is composed of smooth hard-packed sand. The sand is very smooth, clear and free from shells and is so hard-packed that it can be used for roller skating. The term cull potatoes is usually applied to those that are small, mishapen or those that are over-size, and therefore not suitable for the market. If these are from healthy and productive plants, they may be safely used, provided that the tubers used for seed be not less than 1¼ inches in diameter. When the parentage of the so-called cull potatoes is not known, they should never be used for seed. When seeding a new lawn it's a good idea to put on about four bushels of well-rotted manure for each 100 square feet of ground. Work it into the soil well. Then, before sowing the seed, work from two to three pounds of some good garden commercial fertilizer into each 100 square feet of soil. If you can't get any manure, use about twice as much commercial fertilizer. This will speed up the growth of the grass and furnish plant food for several years. Bad eggs give other eggs sold with them a bad reputation. That gets egg eaters wary of all eggs in the summer time. That cuts down the demand. The decreased demand lowers the price of all the eggs.

The decreased demand lowers the price of all the eggs. The brown rate, probably brought to the United States from England about 1775, has spread until it now infests every state in the Union, says the United States department of agriculture. The last state to become afflicted with this pest is Montana. The Albanian question has not been referred to the League of Nations—possibly because the league feared Mr. Mussolini might speak right out in meeting: Speaking of wars, they certainly do things differently in the Orient. A battle in China was suspended two days last week on account of rain. $160 Buys fine tone mahogany Geo. P. Bent piano. This is a beauty; $5 per month and $5 down.
