Anaheim, Calif., Dec. 15, 1927 OBSERVATIONS COMMUNION WITH HIS CONSCIENCE JAPANESE was freed in a superior court the other day on a charge of murdering another Japanese. The two men had engaged in mortal combat after a quarrel over a game of cards. Both were armed with knives. One walked out of the room; the other was dead. In describing the attitude of the prisoner at bar during the trial, a Times correspondent wrote that he "sat with his head bowed and his eyes glued on some spot on the courtroom carpet. He was as immobile as a graven image," said the writer. And "when the verdict was announced that set him free, he didn't take his eyes from the floor covering, and as he was led away, he followed without the slightest show of emotion upon his features." It is said the Japanese are classed as fatalists, maintaining that all things happen by inevitable necessity. This Japanese may have been thinking of his higher judge. WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE AND FOUND WANTING Two brothers, bankers, in an up state county, charged with embezzling funds of their bank—money and life savings put in their hands for safe keeping by their friends and neighbors—have been convicted and sentenced to serve ten years in the state's prison for that crime. Some of the depositors are now penniless. These two men went into that section as boys; grew to manhood, and went into business. They had the respect and confidence of their fellow men. But they abused that confidence. They were faithless to that trust. Now they are behind prison bars. The stigma of crime is upon them. And each of these men have families—grown children. Ah, they will suffer morally far more than anyone else. But justice will prevail. People must be honest. IT'S A SAD TALE, MATES DISPATCH telling of the arrival of two men, aged 60 and 64, at a state prison, says: "It was too late to put them through the usual identification routine, so they were assigned quarters in the new cell building until tomorrow, when they will be photographed, fingerprinted, measured, and sent to the jute mill, where IT'S A SAD TALE, MATES DISPATCH telling of the arrival of two men, aged 60 and 64, at a state prison, says: "It was too late to put them through the usual identification routine, so they were assigned quarters in the new cell building until tomorrow, when they will be photographed, fingerprinted, measured, and sent to the jute mill, where all new prisoners must serve an apprenticeship." DOWN COMES THE HOUSE ON THE SANDS SON of a former premier of Italy, now on a lecture tour in this country, says their government will fall of its own weight within five years. He says by manipulation their money has been given a fictitious value, which is very bad business. When the present dictator over there cannot pay off his army and servants and militiamen, this young man says, the crash will come. THE VACANT CHAIR AT HER FIRESIDE SEVERAL months ago a man was killed during a drunken brawl at his home, when he and his wife and four guests engaged in a skirmish, during which a pistol was discharged, and the man fell mortally wounded. The wife of the slain man and the four guests were charged with murder and found guilty. But later a higher court reversed the decision, observing that while the prisoners at bar were engaged in an unlawful act (that is, the evidence showed they were all under the influence of liquor) still that fact did not connect them, or either of them directly with the murder. Not one of them seemed to have had the least conception as to who discharged the weapon that killed the man. Now, it looks as though all of the accused will be liberated. But one thing is sure—the man who was shot is dead! And the rest of them will have something to think about. MIGHTY NICE OF YOU, PRINCE TO SAY THAT GLOBE trotting prince, who is rated here as a regular fellow, who is giving this Southland the once over, incidentally remarked that he was most impressed by the intensity of industrial life here in America. "It amazes me and it leads me to the conclusion that you will some day govern the world. Your resources, in many cases, have been barely scratched and, while you are the richest nation in the world, your wealth is but starting. America still is but a country in the making." BRISK DEMAND FOR CAN OPENERS REPRESENTATIVE of an English fruit importing company, now visiting Southern California, says: "California canned fruits are superior in their excellence and uniformity to all tinned products of other countries. California canned fruits are well recognized for their superlative qualities in England. This is demonstrated by the fact that 90 per cent of all canned fruit sold in England at the present time comes from California canneries." ANYHOW, COMPETITION IS THE LIFE OF TRADE WELL-KNOWN Englishman, who has been looking over Southern California, studying the citrus industry, says that large fruit growing areas are being developed in South Africa REPRESENTATIVE of an English fruit importing company, now visiting Southern California, says: "California canned fruits are superior in their excellence and uniformity to all tinned products of other countries. California canned fruits are well recognized for their superlative qualities in England. This is demonstrated by the fact that 90 per cent of all canned fruit sold in England at the present time comes from California canneries." ANYHOW, COMPETITION IS THE LIFE OF TRADE A WELL-KNOWN Englishman, who has been looking over Southern California, studying the citrus industry, says that large fruit growing areas are being developed in South Africa and are supplying England with most of its fresh fruit. Experiments prove that oranges can be grown in an enormous territory in South Africa, and it is expected that citrus products from that belt will become a serious competitor within a few years of the California oranges. MIGHTY GOOD SPOKE ON THE WHEEL The walnut growers of Southern California have had a prosperous year. The crop this past season has been the greatest in the history of the state. The total income for the crop is placed at $16,000,000 in sales. The yield is four times greater than last year. The market for the walnut crop is in splendid condition. GETTING SHORTER AND SHORTER The report is out that the present day dress needs just about one and two-thirds yards less of the material than the skirt had eight years ago, and the department of agriculture is trying to figure out the yardage sold on all kinds of dress goods. ANOTHER BUBBLE BURSTED This ocean flying business has shown that airships can take over from here, but can't bring you back. All those fellows who have been scared stiff by a foreign invasion from the air can turn over and go to sleep. AN EYE FOR AN EYE Down in Mexico just the other day an attempt was made to assassinate a prominent man, a candidate for the presidency—a man who took an active part in subduing a bunch of revolutionists who plotted against that government, and who were summarily executed. The unrest in that unhappy country seems never ending, and more casualties in high places no doubt may be expected. Too bad the people there cannot settle down and be good hombres. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Keen Rivalry for Tournament Prizes Many Cities Contending This Year for Sweepstakes Cup Competition for the sweepstakes cup at the Pasadena Tournament of Roses seems likely to be more intense this year than it ever has been in the past. Whereas only a few entries have been pointed for the sweepstakes prize in past years, a score or more of cities are confessed aspirants for the coveted trophy this year, according to tournament officials. Beverly Hills, sweepstakes winner last year, is again in the race, and is said to have planned a float that will equal or surpass its 1927 entry. Long Beach, winner of the sweepstakes cup in 1926, and Glendale, whose floats always are marvelous creations, are other contenders whose efforts will be worth watching. San Marino, a new factor in the tournament, competition this year, admittedly is out to win the sweepstakes trophy, and other cities to be reckoned with include Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Bernardino, San Dimas, San Jose, Portland, Whittier, Pomona, Temple and Sierra Madre. Every float in the parade is eligible for the sweepstakes prize. Those cities which fail to annex the coveted sweepstakes cup need not necessarily be plunged into gloom. Sixty sterling silver trophies—$7500 worth—will be awarded to winners in various classes and divisions of the parade. Of the same size as the sweepstakes cup, and equal in value, is the grand theme trophy, which will be awarded to the float which best carries out the spirit of the tournament theme. This trophy was won last year by Glendale. The theme of the 1928 tournament will be "States and Nations in Flowers." Last year it was "Songs in Flowers." A dozen of the finest floats in the New Year's Day parade will be placed on exhibit in front of Pasadena's new city hall, following the pageant, it has been decided by tournament officials. The floats will be flood-lighted during the evening. This innovation is to be adopted this year in order that the public may inspect the prize-winning floats at close range. The 1928 tournament will be held Monday, January 2, due to the fact that the first day of the year falls on Sunday.

UNION PACIFIC The Overland Route LUTHER L. EDEN, Agent Union Pacific System Telephone 729 WHAT THE EXCHANGE The California Fruit Growers Exchange grows, producing about 75% of the California basis. Its object is to develop the national grapefruit by continuous advertising, and to provide most advantageously and at least expenses returned to the growers. Applications are received, 23 District Exchanges, or at the central Christmas gift typical of the Golden State to friends and relatives in other states and other countries. Carefully selected prunes are packed like candy in a five-pound redwood box, enclosed in appropriately designed covers. The chambers of commerce of Santa Clara are undertaking to sell 20,000 of these boxes. Orders are being taken by the Prune and Apricot Association at that place. J. H. Fahey, a prune grower of Sunnyvale, has turned "salesman" in this effort, and in fact the entire effort represents a co-operative spirit on the part of all interests in the valley. Constipation! How to Keep Bowels Regular DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and fasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" of "physic" was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel regularity" even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but, best of all, it never gripes, sickens or upsets the system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, billious, sick child gladly takes it. Buy a large 60-count bottle at any store that sells medicine or write "Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illinois, for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE and just see for yourself. Dr. Caldwell's SYRUP PEPSIN “Please send me a dozen oranges ...I prefer Sunkist” TLY, a magazine conducts investigation among its found that among the questioned, 1901 served the home. Amazing, perhaps, in this versal use of oranges, unless that a comparatively few oranges were considered a fee afforded by the well-to-total occasions. Questioning at these 1906 developed these further facts. Cent, oranges were served there are children, oranges are no longer a luxury but a staple article of diet. Better fruit, improved methods of handling, more orderly distribution and increased aggressiveness in selling have played their part, in bringing this change about. But the greatest single reason is the 20 years of effective educational advertising sponsored by the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The objectives of this continuous campaign have been: 1—To increase the consumption of oranges. 2—To create a preference for California oranges. 3—To establish a particular preference for the Sunkist brand. Amazing, perhaps, in this universal use of oranges, unless that a comparatively few oranges were considered a mere afforded by the well-to-do occasions. Questioning at these 1906 developments these further facts. Cent, oranges were served over cent ate them several week; 18 per cent had rationally. Apparently, about homes had become "sold" orange-eating habit—perhaps twice every morning for it significant was the fact that cent stated that they pre-Sunkist brand. The next year brand registered a pre-fin only 11½ per cent ofationen. The golden fruit has been making since the days when it entered the to put a bulge in the Christmas grace the table at the family remain many families, particularly where But the greatest single reason is the 20 years of effective educational advertising sponsored by the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The objectives of this continuous campaign have been: 1-To increase the consumption of oranges. 2-To create a preference for California oranges. 3-To establish a particular preference for the Sunkist brand. Every one of these objectives has been reached. But the Sunkist advertising goes on—persuading more people to eat oranges—educating people to eat more oranges—leading more people to prefer California Sunkist. The entire citrus industry has benefited by this work, but only members of the Exchange have reaped the full rewards. For only those 11,000 growers who market through the Exchange enjoy the privilege of stamping that magic word "Sunkist" on their better grades of fruit. They know that one of the great advantages of marketing through the Exchange comes from the fact that millions of women habitually say, "Sunkist, please." Talk to the manager of the nearest Exchange Association or District Exchange. Or, write for further information to California Fruit Growers Exchange, Box 530, Station "C," Los Angeles.
