Postoffice Will Be Congested by Mail People Are Urged to Send Their Christmas Packages Early With the annual avalanche of Christmas mail anticipated within the next three weeks, postmasters have opened a campaign of education which is intended to help the public help themselves, and in so doing augment the work and efficiency of the postoffice department to a great extent.

"Shop now and mail early for early delivery." This is the most important bit of advice he has to offer. Many more suggestions were given. "Special attention should be paid to wrapping and packing," he added. "All parcels must be securely wrapped and packed. Use strong paper and heavy twine." Instructions for packing special articles were given in detail by the postmaster: "Umbrellas, canes, and golf sticks should be reinforced their full length by strong strips of wood tightly wrapped and tied to withstand transportation. 'Hats: Packed in strong corrugated or fiber boxes. Ordinary pasteboard hat boxes must be crated. Ladies' hats and stiff hats easily damaged should be marked 'FRAGILE.'' 'Cut flowers: Place in strong suitable boxes of wood, tin, or heavy corrugated cardboard. Wrap with tissue to retain moisture. 'Candles: Inclose in strong outside boxes or containers. 'Drawing, paintings, unmounted maps, etc.: Pack or wrap in strong material to avoid damage. When not flat, fold around a wooden core and then wail and tie carefully or place in strong pasteboard tube. 'During the holiday time the volume of mail increases approximately 200 per cent. It is a physical impossibility to handle this great mass of mail matter efficiently and promptly within a few days. Therefore to insure delivery of their Christmas presents, cards and letters by Christmas day the public should shop and mail early. Do your Christmas shopping so that you can mail your gifts, greetings and letters to relative, friends and loved ones at least a week or 10 days before Christmas, according to distance. This will not only make it certain that they are received on or before Christmas day, but will be a great aid to your postal service and to postal employees and enable them to spend Christmas day with their families."

Store Anaheim, California Sentiment Favoring Estate Tax Repeal Californians Pay Both Federal and State Inheritance Tax Strong sympathy for the movement to repeal the federal estate tax is found in the rural districts of this state, according to Marvin L. Arnold, secretary of the California Taxation Improvement Association, who is this week visiting various communities in company with Gill A. Cowan, editor of the association's publications. "The intelligent editorial support we are receiving from the country press is particularly gratifying," Cowan declared. "These newspaper men who are in direct contact with their public know the sentiment of the people, which is greatly in favor of the abolition of duplicate levies on estates." Cowan explained that the only opposition so far voiced to congress' repeal of the estate tax has come from politicians who collect and spend the tax money and from "parlor pinks" who advocate the levelling of wealth as part of the program to sovietize America. "These insidious propagandists infiltrate their ideas into organizations which should naturally oppose socialistic economic theory, but as the Great Emancipator said in so many words: 'You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.'" And we note that the hard-working farmer is awakening to the plot to keep him and all other real property owners in the most moderate circumstances through the infliction of duplicate and multiple taxation against which our association is waging relentless warfare." Secretary Arnold conferred with one of the best informed representatives in the San Joquin valley and got a new viewpoint of the agriculturists' attitude on estate and inheritance taxation. Briefly, the heirs of a farmer owning and operating high priced California map tract No. 872 was accepted by the board and referred to the city engineer of the city of Orange. Map tract No. 874 was accepted by the board and referred to the city engineer of the city of Orange. Application for renewal of dance hall license of the Bear Cafe at Westminster Brevities Shortly after the Santa Ana wind began blowing Saturday evening, all the lights in the city went out. On the north side of Center street they came on again with a few minutes, but the south side was not so fortunate. In some sections they were out of commission for nearly an hour, business houses and residences being illuminated during ght that period mostly with candles. Hundreds of the tapers were in use; but the light they shed was very feeble. Dr. Ernest Heyling and Peter Palm have returned home after an absence of three months, during which time they saw many things worth seeing in Europe. They left here about the first of September to attend the American Legion convention at Paris, but after the convention made a journey through most of the European countries. They toured France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Holland, and England. While they saw many things famed in history, they declare that nothing in those effete countries can compare with the things to be seen at home. Mr. and Mrs. A. Pierrotti and family of Placentia have returned from a very enjoyable tour of Europe, after an absence of several months. W. H. Ashbaugh, the good-looking representative of the American Type Foundry Company, was in town this week, calling on the various printing offices. He has been with the company in Los Angeles for 17 years, and entered the company's service when a boy, back in St. Louis, many years ago. He lives at Long Beach, and sells more printers' supplies than any man in the business. William Gregg, owner of one of the largest citrus holdings in this district, has just purchased, for his permanent home, the Hugh Grant residence on North Clementine street. The Grant residence is one of the finest homes in Anahole, having been erected at a reported cost of $30,000. The deal was made through the office of the Sidnam Realty Company, this city. "And we note that the hard-working farmer is awakening to the plot to keep him and all other real property owners in the most moderate circumstances through the infliction of duplicate and multiple taxation against which our association is waging relentless warfare." Secretary Arnold conferred with one of the best informed representatives in the San Joquin valley and got a new viewpoint of the agriculturists' attitude on estate and inheritance taxation. Briefly, the heirs of a farmer owning and operating high priced California lands during his lifetime face the loss of a large share of the estate because of cash death tax demands and the lack of methods to pre-eminister or liquefy such estates. Further, the farm owner never has been able, during his lifetime, to avoid property or income taxes—a fact that destroys the last vestige of justification for the infliction of such "penal" taxation. "Reasons for the California farmer supporting the repeal of the federal estate tax and the minimizing of the state inheritance tax," Arnold reports, are listed as follows: "First, it is essential that people of means must be attracted to California to increase our industrial background and provide occupations for a greater population if we are to sell our farm products in California instead of shipping them cast. Second, capital must be safeguarded if we are to expect industries such as cotton, woolen and silk mills to operate here where all other conditions except our tax structure are favorable to those seeking fortune along these lines. It is the farmer's interest to see that he has a market for his cotton and wool and hides. Third, surplus capital of wealthy persons is essential for investment in our irrigation district bonds for the building of reservoirs, dam sites, and canals for providing a surface supply of water. Investors must reside here to appreciate our irrigators' needs and reliability. If this financing (which is fast becoming necessary as anyone in south San Joquin valley conversant with pumping irrigation water from constantly receding levels will tell you) is to succeed, we must retrieve our position as a sound and sane and safe place for the investment of capital. Fourth, the program of the California Taxation Improvement Association is designed to increase the tax base of state by developing the vast natural resources and thereby increasing valuations, promoting industry and commerce and thereby unsaddling part of the burden carried now by real property. "We have the support not only of most newspapers, investment bankers, realty dealers, hotel men, chambers of commerce and civic service groups such as the exchange clubs, but property owners in general who are interested in the various phases of our research, publicity and legislative work. Our field covers estate and inheritance taxation, the fair assessment of all intangible property, opposition to multiple and hidden taxation, uniformization of the family home being destroyed by flames several months ago."

The California Taxation Improvement Association is headed by Dr. George C. Sabichi of Bakersfield and has no connection with any other tax organization, Secretary Arnold explained. OIL AS A 'FARM CROP' Some interesting facts have recently come to light regarding the benefits which the farmer gets from the oil industry. Practically all leases of oil land are so drawn that the farmer receives as a consideration for the granting of the lease, one-eighth of the oil which that lease may produce. The total value of all the crude at the well produced last year amounted to in the neighborhood of $1,200,000,000. Of this the farmer or landowner received approximately $150,000,000, which was virtually clear profit. The actual profit the farmer gets out of the oil industry is greater than the oil producers get from their seven-eighths of the oil—as the farmer has to invest nothing to produce the oil, refine it, transport it, or sell it. One does not generally think of the oil industry as being a "farm crop," but a little investigation will show that oil is generally discovered in out of the way places on farms of questionable land value. This explains the statement that has been made, that the oil industry means more to the farmer than it does to the stockholders and individuals engaged in the production of oil. Map tract No. 881 was accepted by the board. Margaret Livingston, county librarian, was authorized to attend the conference of county librarians, to be held at Sacramento. A resolution was regularly adopted relative to appropriation for Anaheim flood control committee. A resolution was regularly passed to purchase certain property from E. H. Darling at Garden Grove. AUTO DEALER IS AVIATOR Rejecting as too slow the special train which brought his fellow dealers from the Oklahoma City Buick branch territory to Flint recently, William A. Burke, dealer of Okmulgee, Okla., hopped off in his fast biplane and beat the crowd here. George F. Howard, northern Orange county Buick dealer, said that Burke has been a flier for about 12 years. He makes constant use of his plane in his business. The trip to Flint was made in two stages, a friend accompanying Burke to Chicago, from which point he came on alone. After touring the factory with S. S. Lindsey, Oklahoma City branch manager, and other Oklahoma territory dealers, Burke flew to the General Motors proving ground, near Milford, where the visitors spent a whole day inspecting the facilities of that institution. He then departed for home, with a stop-over in Detroit. Burke's plane is a Travel Air, equipped with Wright whirlwind motor. It is capable, Burke said, of 160 miles an hour. Even without pushing it to capacity, the 1200-mile round trip to Flint was accomplished in a fraction of the time required on the ground, enabling-Burke to reach home and resume business a full day ahead of his companions. Baked bananas are a good mid-winter dessert. Skin six bananas, scrape them lightly to remove any stringy portion, and split in half lengthwise. Place in a buttered shallow baking dish, and pour over them a sauce made of one-third cup sugar, two tablespoons melted butter, two tablespoons lemon juice, one-eighth teaspoon salt. Bake in a hot oven until brown. Over a thousand teachers sought positions through the appointment bureau of the University of Southern California last year, according to Miss Edith Weir, director, who states that advisement and placement of teachers is a rapidly growing field. This service must include warning young teachers about entering a ready crowded field, she states, suggesting that the newer and more specialized fields, such as Americanization, junior high school, part-time, and adult courses offer greater opportunities at this time than just plain "teaching." To ascertain from the principals and superintendents in various communities their particular needs, Miss Weir is now on a visiting tour of schools in Arizona and California, noting the necessary attributes of the "best teacher" for each section. The Teachers' Appointment Bureau at the Trojan institution serves those enrolled in the campus colleges and also in University College, Southern California, leading to state teaching credentials and advanced college degrees. Beginning with the winter quarter of this central-city division of Southern California, Miss Weir is to establish a branch office of the appointment bureau there, she announces, with regular consulting hours. A Mexican deciding to run for president must have the same uncertain feeling that a fat gobbler has a few days before Thanksgiving.
