THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE ESTABLISHED 1870 HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR.....$2.00 SIX MONTHS.....1.25 THREE MONTHS.....7.75 Entered at the Anaheim, California, Post Office as second class matter. MISSOURI NOT ALONE NOTHING that was said in observance of national forest week brought more forcibly to the attention of Missourians the crying need for reforestation than the assertion of Julius Seidel that we now produce only 20 per cent of the lumber we use and "spend $8,000,000 a year in freight bills on lumber, a large part of which, at least, could be saved by practice of intelligent forestry." Mr. Seidel said: "Missouri can't provide $20,000 for a forestry department, but can permit its industries to spend eight million dollars a year in freight bills on lumber, a large part of which, at least, could be saved by practice of intelligent forestry in Missouri. When the raw product can be produced right here in our Ozarks, can Missouri industries afford to continue with the burden they now are carrying?" A quarter of a century ago lumbering was one of the major industries of the state. Now it has declined to less than one-fifth of its former proportions, with a resulting serious loss both in employment and in an increased burden of expense in building operations. And this burden is reflected not only in higher building costs, but in rent levels. Missouri has tens of thousands of acres especially adapted for timber growing and of little or no value for any other agricultural purpose. They should be utilized with a view to building up a valuable resource and saving a large part of the $8,000,000 spent annually in freight rates on lumber brought into the state. There is food for sober and constructive thought in Mr. Seidel's statement. EUROPE IMPROVES MONG the interesting headlines on the dispatches from Europe Missouri has tens of thousands of acres especially adapted for timber growing and of little or no value for any other agricultural purpose. They should be utilized with a view to building up a valuable resource and saving a large part of the $8,000,000 spent annually in freight rates on lumber brought into the state. There is food for sober and constructive thought in Mr. Seidel's statement. EUROPE IMPROVES AMONG the interesting headlines on the dispatches from Europe in the financial dispatches from Europe in the financial section of the Monday New York papers were the following: "London Hopeful of Bank Rate Cut"; "French Money Easy. Business Improving"; "London Banks Gain Gold"; "Nearly All Industry in Germany Improves"; "Italy's Trade Balance Better. Despite Rise in the Lira"; "Surplus in German Budget"; "Hopeful Statements of Russian Trade." These headlines when compared with some of the doleful statements of opinion given out by our internationalists are decidedly encouraging. They do not bear out the international dogma that Europe is going to the dogs and will continue to do so unless we cancel the war debts and reduce our tariff. The fact is that economic conditions in most European countries are steadily improving, as the above quoted headlines would indicate. Americans will be pleased to know that these conditions are improving. And we all want Europe to improve. That is not only a humane wish, but an expression of sound business judgment. The more Europe prospers the better Americans will like it. We are only insisting that this prosperity be built up in Europe by European effort and that it be not accomplished by tampering with the foundation of American prosperity. THE CRISIS IN JAPAN JAPAN is in the throes of a commercial crisis which has led to a bank moratorium. This condition is attributed to several causes. The war occasioned an artificial expansion of industry and commerce and produced a prosperity level which, under Japanese institutions, could not be maintained after the restoration of peace. In every country, economic depression is pretty apt to have definite political reactions. Japan has just expanded her electorate from 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 qualified voters, with the first election under the new franchise to be held in 1928. Radicalism is busy among the Japanese, and socialism and communism have gained some hold on the minds of the laboring classes, and unless Japan is able to reconstruct her economic affairs, the prevalent distress may enable the Reds to make further headway. Opposed to these disturbing elements, of course, stand the Japanese people's hereditary conservatism and deep respect for the institutions of authority. But unless carefully controlled, the negative forces may take advantage of an economic crisis to produce serious political consequences. EXIT SECOND LOAN THE call of the second Liberty loan bonds is more than a bold gesture on the part of the government. It means a saving to the government of millions of dollars of interest, and in turn a saving to the taxpayers of the country, out of whose pockets the government must have taken the interest. The decision of the secretary of the treasury to call the bonds of the second Liberty loan is all the more significant in view of... EXIT SECOND LOAN THE call of the second Liberty loan bonds is more than a bold gesture on the part of the government. It means a saving to the government of millions of dollars of interest, and in turn a saving to the taxpayers of the country, out of whose pockets the government must have taken the interest. The decision of the secretary of the treasury to call the bonds of the second Liberty loan is all the more significant in view of the fact that the bonds of the third Liberty loan, $2,00,000,000, mature November 15, 1928, and must be paid. Mr. Mellon, it is apparent, believes that the treasury department cannot only handle successfully the refunding of the third Liberty loan a year and a half hence, but that in the interim it can deal effectually with the second Liberty loan. The confidence of the secretary of the treasury doubtless will be reflected in the attitude of the American business world. HERE IS THE PROOF OF COURSE we are all acquainted with the slogan that newspaper advertising pays, but unless we are advertisers ourselves we do not often get practical demonstration of the results of publicity of this kind. The experience of the allied florists in a substantial middle-western city this spring is worthy of comment. The florists' association resolved to carry on a general advertising campaign in the newspapers of the city, urging the people of the community to buy flowers for Easter. The results of the venture were surprising. The association embraces practically all of the flower growers and merchants in the particular city, and most of the members of association reported amazing results. Some of the flower merchants had business far exceeding their expectations, and when they tried to re-order from the wholesalers and growers at the last moment, to re-stock their supply, they found that the other flower dealers were doing the same thing, and that there were not enough flowers to go around. As a result, the wholesalers had to apportion the final orders to give everybody an equal chance. So great was the demand for flowers that druggists, market stands and other business firms who sold flowers as a side line were caught in the tide and sold out. As a result, the flower growers and dealers in this particular city are thoroughly sold on newspaper advertising. What works in one American community will work in all of them. THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SORE By A. B. CHAPIN TO HAVE TO CLEAN OUT THE CAR BEFORE STARTING FOR HOME — TARNATION BLAZES! WISH TREY'D QUIT THROWN'ALL THESE PINK DODGERS AN'BILLS IN TH'CAR — I NEVER READ TH'BLAMED THINGS AN' IT'S A NUISANCE TO HAVE TO CLEAN 'EM OUT—!! THATS WHAT I SAY, GEORGE —! ALL THE BEST STORES ADVERTISE IN OUR PAPER AND I ALWAYS READ THAT BEFORE WE COME TO TOWN ON SATURDAYS KEEP THE CITY CLEAN Annual Picnic of County Farm Bureau Autopsy Held at Poultry Meeting Annual Picnic of County Farm Bureau The announcement yesterday that the annual Orange County Farm Bureau picnic would be held at the tennis court in Orange County park on Saturday, June 25, cleared away the uncertainty which has surrounded that event. For some time farm bureau members have been debating whether or not a picnic should be held this spring, owing to a suggestion that the annual picnic be postponed until autumn, when it should be combined with a tree planting event. Those in charge of the forestry work of the farm bureau expressed a desire to hold a general county picnic near Modjeska's home next autumn and invited the participants to actually plant forest trees. This matter received a thorough alighting at the last directors' meeting, which resulted in a referendum being submitted to the different farm centers. A majority of the farm centers appeared in favor of the spring picnic, so a picnic committee was appointed with full power to act to make arrangements for same. They are now actively engaged in arranging a program. Prominent Southern California speakers, including Senator Chester M. Kline, have been invited to speak on the afternoon program. Games, contests, and basket picnic lunch will be other features of the event. The proposition of holding a tree planting picnic is not settled. That event is more or less dependent on the possibility of securing trees according to the statement of the committee. Poultry School June 7, 8 and 9 Announcement was made by W. M. Cory; assistant farm advisor, of a poultry school to be held at the Washington grammar school, Garden Grove, June 7, 8 and 9, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and the poultry department of the Orange County Farm Bureau. The program extends from 10 o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon on each of the three days. Programs are being mailed out, but if additional programs are wished, such may be obtained at the farm advisor's office. Nearly the entire staff of the poultry division of the University of California will speak on one or more occasions during the three days. Garden Grove was selected as the location for the school because of its being rather centrally located in regard to poultrymen and the Washington school offering splendid advantages for successfully conducting such an event. W. C. Childers, chairman of the poultry department, in an interview, said: "Every poultryman should make it a point to attend every session of this three-day school. While work at home may be very pressing, the opportunity of listening to me who probably have no equal in their line, speak on subjects pertaining to the poultryman's livelihood should not be overlooked or forgotten. Remember the dates, June 7, 8 and 9, at Garden Grove." Cypress Farm Center To Give Entertainment An expose of what should and should not be presented on a good, clean vaudeville bill will be made by the Cypress Farm Center on Tuesday evening, June 7, at which time they will present an entertainment for the purpose of raising money to finance their exhibit at the coming Orange County Fair. Joe Ritter, chairman of the committee in charge of the program, states that since Cypress has undertaken this effort to clean up the stage, he notices that New York has also fallen into the van. In order to aptly demonstrate his idea of a good, clean vaudeville bill, Mr. Ritter plans to preface the entertainment with a bathing beauty parade, which will be followed by a play entitled "Thundering Fleas." People who are accustomed to the class of entertainment given by the Cypress center are looking forward to an evening of hilarity and amusement. Autopsy Held at Poultry Meeting A post mortem examination of both diseased and healthy fowls was conducted at the meeting of the poultry department of the Orange County Farm Bureau, held in the office of the farm bureau, Wednesday evening. Dr. H. W. Graybill, who is in charge of the new poultry pathological laboratory established in Los Angeles county recently by the efforts of the Southern California poultry departments of the farm bureau, had charge of the surgical work and afforded those in attendance an opportunity to see the characteristic appearance of both healthy and diseased organs. "We consider this one of the most important meetings of the year," said W. C. Childers, chairman of the department. "The pathological laboratory wishes to become of greatest service to poultrymen, and these demonstrations will afford the local co-operators an opportunity to learn what might be expected from that source. They will also give us a better understanding of the conditions of our flocks." Decayed scars and cavities in the trunk or limbs of trees are frequently infested with wood-boring larvae or are the retreat of different species of ants. Such cavities not only favor gradual decay and weakening of the trees, but afford an excellent winter harbor for certain injurious insects. Cavities in the trunk usually are the result of improper pruning and neglect to care for wounds from other causes. Such cavities may, after proper treatment, including removal of all dead wood, be filled with cement, and the condition of the trees thus materially improved. That helfers should be raised largely on roughage is indicated both by investigations and practice. Legume hays are by far the best. A combination of good quality legume hay and silage makes a very desirable roughage; in fact, helfers over a year old will often make satisfactory growth on such a combined roughage even if no grain is fed. June 7, 8 and 9, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and the poultry department of the Orange County Farm Bureau. The program extends from 10 o'clock. People who are accustomed to the class of entertainment given by the Cypress center are looking forward to an evening of hilarity and amusement. POP READ TO ME!

Now, if the lady's hair was red, the picture would have been complete—as the legend runs—a white horse was in sight. UNEASY LIES THE CROWNED HEAD THE way the ex-champ bowls over his sparring partners, in his sensational squared arena comeback, many fans opine the lost laurels will again be floating from the masthead of the de-hroned one when he meets up with the marine. KEEPING FAMILY EXCHEQUER INTACT NOWADAYS some men put everything in their wife'e name, but the fellow who had his appendix taken away from him has been chided quite merrily because of his procrastination. WHERE·DID YOU GET THAT HAT? IN ENGLAND it is proposed to put a tax on women's hats, sponsor of the bill claiming the head gears are luxuries. It is said if the law passes, women will wear cheap hats. LONG ROAD THAT HAS NO TURNING A WIFE alleges in her complaint for divorce that another woman gave her husband an automobile, and that friend husband and the home-wrecker went on long trips, extending into several adjoining states. THE JINGLE AT THE GATE A THEATER hung up a sign "For Men Only." Temptation was great, curiosity was aroused, and say boy, you ought to see the crowd. The management dug up the old "Standing Room Only" sign, dusted off the cobwebs, and flung it to the breezes. After it was all over, the guys wondered what in heck it was all about, anyway, for the flappers and the vamps are still on the job. WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME THE JINGLE AT THE GATE A THEATER hung up a sign "For Men Only." Temptation was great, curiosity was aroused, and say boy, you ought to see the crowd. The management dug up the old "Standing Room Only" sign, dusted off the cobwebs, and flung it to the breezes.

WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME A PICTURE has been shown, depicting vice, sin and disease, in all their hideousness, that sounds a warning to parents. The author certifies that the scenes as portrayed are accurate. Conditions in the big "wide open" cities are alarming, and the author of the screen version says the enclosed coupe plays a beguiling part. You see where the pure, innocent girl ventures forth on her way to school; she meets a good-looking young man; a flirtation springs up—then there is an elopement, a mock-marriage—closely followed by a white slave den and, after three or four years of degradation, comes death. Surely something must be done to change these conditions. DON'T FORGET YOUR KNEE PADS TERPSICHOREAN devotees are warned that there is a certain degree of danger in dancing the Charleston unless the knees are properly protected. An inventor has designed a rubber pad for young ladies who are learning the first motions of the dance. It is pointed out they are intended to absorb the shock when the knees of partners are brought into accidental violent contact. HUSHING THE GLAD HAND In a city across the big pond, watchmakers have discovered that theater-goers laugh at jokes just as uproariously as ever, but there is a decided decrease in hand applause because people are wearing wrist watches. Instead of the hand, the jokesmiths get the hoof and the ha-ha. And some people say that applauding the silent drama is like talking to yourself, and from an annoying viewpoint is as bad as the fellow who reads aloud the subtitles. HE STRUCK OIL SAID a city dweller: "Gee, but Jones is a lucky guy. He bought a few town lots, and now he is getting $4000 a day. Yes, it must be so, because I saw it in the paper. I wonder what he will do with all the money?" But the suburbanite, who is not given over to hysteria, observed: "Now, that can't be true; figure it out yourself. Here's the way it is." And with that, after the pencil and paper had been brought into play, it was learned that the best Jones could possibly have was a paltry $1000 per day as an income. Anyhow, that's better than trying to make it waiting for a rise in real estate, and at latest accounts Jones is sitting pretty and the goose hangs high. THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYTHING COUNTRY over there is going to use cast iron in street paving. To a fellow up a tree it looks as though a new use looms for its depreciated dollars. JUST ONE MORE JOB—THEN GO STRAIGHT The astonishing statement is made by a well-known member THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYTHING A COUNTRY over there is going to use cast iron in street paving. To a fellow up a tree it looks as though a new use looms for its depreciated dollars. JUST ONE MORE JOB—THEN GO STRAIGHT THE astonishing statement is made by a well-known member of a crime commission in an eastern city that the people would dbe ahead if some way could be devised to pay each professional criminal in this country a salary of $20,000 per year, providing they would, in lieu of this payment, cease their criminal operations. It is said the loss annually through the activity of crooks is $9,000,000,000. POOR KITTY! A FELLOW went into a rural restaurant the other day and, after looking over the bill of fare, laid down an order for Belgian hare—crisp and brown." The waiter breezed into the kitchen, singing out merrily, "Once on the bunny—well." And just then he happened to step on the tail of the family cat. The feline let out an animated "Meow," which was heard by the customer. "Hey, waiter," he called aloud, "cancel the rabbit order—make it a T-bone." THOSE WERE THE HAPPY DAYS THERE was a time, several years ago, when you could see a pair of perfectly good $12 shoes cast to the discard in the ash barrel, but now Uncle Reuben allows things have changed somewhat, because many of the fair sex run in to the while-you-wait repair shops to have the shoes soled. There are several advantages in having cows freshen in the fall. Butterfat usually brings a higher price during the fall and winter months; labor is easier to obtain then, and there is more time to care for the calves and a large supply of milk. The fall-freshening cow, if properly fed and handled, will ordinarily produce well during the winter months, falling off as spring opens. At this time the spring pasture grass will act as a stimulus and prevent a rapid decrease in production. Hen manure, one of the most valuable farm manures for garden purposes, contains a large percentage of potash and phosphoric acid and is especially rich in nitrogen. A flock of 30 chickens will leave on the dropping board a half ton of manure a year. This supply should be preserved in tight barrels, mixing as saved with equal quantities of dry earth. This half strength poultry manure may be spaded into the garden at the rate of 25 pounds to 100 square feet of land.
