Bids Opened for Street Extension Steele Finley to Get Contract for Lengthening Lemon Street Two highway matters of vital interest to this section came before the county supervisors in their meeting at Santa Ana Tuesday. Amounts involved total $115,000. Proposed extension of North Lemon street from Anaheim to Fullerton came a step nearer, when the board opened the bid of Steele Finley, Santa Ana contractor, to do the work for $35,000. Finley's was the only bid submitted. At the same time, the supervisors took the first formal action in connection with widening and repaving the state highway between Fullerton and Anaheim, when plans of the highway department were approved and ordered referred to the Fullerton city council. Finley's bid in the Lemon street matter was referred to Nat H. Neff, county superintendent of highways, for examination, and it was indicated that it would probably be accepted. Plans for the North Lemon street extension, which will open a new major traffic route between Anaheim and Fullerton, call for a mile of asphalt-concrete paving, commencing at La Palma avenue, Anaheim and connecting with Harvard avenue, Fullerton. The right-of-way will be straightened at the crossing of the state highway, on the northern edge of Anaheim, where a corner will be taken for street purposes. This will, in addition, provide a wide intersection to facilitate the diversion of traffic from the state highway to Lemon street. Auto Head Visits Lone Star State The vast agricultural empire of Texas is figuring more and more prominently among the factors on which the nation's general prosperity depends. State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the Legion states in describing the memorial, "is a figure of an American eagle poised above its nest and young with outspread wings in an attitude of defiance, symbolizing that protection which this country gives its people. It was developed under the advice of two of America's leading ornithologists, Dr. Theodore Roberts of the University of Minnesota, and Otto Widmann of St. Louis. It is ornithologically correct in every detail, and is said to be possibly the finest American eagle bronze in the United States. Dr. Roberts, who was closely in touch with the sculptor at all times, says 'It is alive.' It has been designated "The Victory Eagle," and is protected from misuse by copyright. In wing spread the county-line Victory highway eagle markers are 5½ feet. In height 4 feet, with a 7-foot base, a total height of approximately 11 feet. Another feature of the memorial marking of the Victory highway is that of tree planting, which is being furthered by both the women and the civile groups in those towns through which the Victory highway passes. State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the American Legion has been invited to be the principal speaker at the cominstate gathering of the Nevada American Legion at Gardnerville, June 7-9. Fisk is the president of the National Association of American Legion Adjutants. RETREAT OF WALSH The retreat of Senator Walsh of Montana from the Democratic presidential candidate field was deliberate, but can hardly be styled as dignified. The Auto Head Visits Lone Star State The vast agricultural empire of Texas is figuring more and more prominently among the factors on which the nation's general prosperity depends, and its ultimate possibilities are yet undreamed of. This is the report of E. T. Strong, president of the Buick Motor Company, who has just returned from an extended trip through that state, with investigation of the automobile market as his mission. "Texas is in wonderful condition, better than ever before in it's history," said Mr. Strong. "It is utterly impossible for one who has not traversed Texas to appreciate its vastness, and until this is appreciated, the state's importance in the economic scheme of things can not be fully visioned. I found farmers enjoying abundance wherever I went, and laying plans for increased production and more intelligent marketing of their many crops." "Population of the state increased 71 per cent in the same time, and the value of farm property 250 per cent, but remarkable as these increases are, they seem dwarfed by the bank deposit gains, which are a reliable index of prosperity. "Our organization in Texas is doing a wonderful business and expanding very satisfactorily. San Antonio has a new branch headquarters; Fort Worth a very large new dealer establishment; El Paso and the Oklahoma City branch, which serves the rapidly developing Houston-Rio Grande-Panhandle section, a considerable neargement of facilities, all necessitated by the increase in business." George F. Howard, northern Orange county Buick dealer, said that the Texas advance in prosperity can be seen by comparing bank deposits and other figures for 1900 with those of today. Deposits in 1909 totalled $62,500,000. Today they are $1,135,000,000. A gain of 1709 per cent. This is more than three times the increase registered by the entire country for that period. LEGION NOTES Members of the state executive committee of the American Legion have been summoned for a meeting at Monterey. May 27 by State Commander Phil Dodson of South Pasadena. Important matters concerning the Legion's work in California will be discussed at the gathering which will be held in conjunction with the World war veterans' pilgrimage to Monterey at the same time. Golf champions of the American Legion posts in California will meet State Adjutant James K. Fisck of the American Legion has been invited to be the principal speaker at the cominstate gathering of the Nevada American Legion at Gardnerville, June 7-9. Fisck is the president of the National Association of American Legion Adjutants. RETREAT OF WALSH The retreat of Senator Walsh of Montana from the Democratic presidential candidate field was deliberate, but can hardly be styled as dignified. The senator senator, unhappily, appears before the public in the role of one re-nouncing something which he could not obtain under any stretch of the imagination. Even before the extraordinary Democratic California verdict for Smith, Walsh had met serious reverses in other states, states where it was supposed he had some claim upon a people by virtue of his former residence, if nothing else. Even before the California primary, the national success of Smith was plainly evident... and what happened in California merely confirmed the opinion which the public was grasping. Because of the curious genesis of the Walsh candidacy, because of the feeling that unwittingly (for the real sincerity of Walsh makes any other thought impossible) he was being used as a candidate of spite rather than because of a real desire. It is just as well that he has cleared the record. The Democrats have made up their minds that the Smith candidacy is to be their great political adventure. Around Smith they are wrapping a Bryan essay though of a different material. But the Republicans, for all of that, will be able to defeat him, and the retirement of Walsh brings the real issues to the front and as a result, the Republican victory verdict will be more understandable by the people and no charges of intriguing or conniving can be made against it. The telephone girls who operate the switchboard at the headquarters of the California Fruit Growers Exchange Los Angeles, have for some little time been answering all calls by simply saying "Sunkist" instead of their former greeting. "Fruit Growers." They don't overlook any advertising opportunities. Mother! Clean Child's Bowels "California Fig Syrup" is Dependable Laxative for Members of the state executive committee of the American Legion have been summoned for a meeting at Monterey, May 27 by State Commander Phil Dodson of South Pasadena. Important matters concerning the Legion's work in California will be discussed at the gathering which will be held in conjunction with the World war veterans' pilgrimage to Monterey at the same time. Golf champions of the American Legion posts in California will meet in two tournaments in the near future, according to State Adjutant James K. Fisk. Southern California legionnaires have fixed May 20 as the date for the championship fight in that end of the state. Bert C. Mann, state chairman of the Legion's athletic committee, is in charge of the play which will take place at the Girard Country Club. The northern California golfers among the Legion's ranks will play at Del Monte, June 8-10. George H. Oyer of San Francisco is handling the tourney. Winners of the championships will be matched at the annual state convention of the Legion at Stockton in August to settle the state title among the war veterans. Walter H. Killam, former secretary of Senator Hiram W. Johnson at Washington, has been named as acting chairman of the editorial committee of the American Legion News, the official publication of the World war veterans' organization in California. Killam is a veteran newspaperman, having edited a paper at Modesto before going to Washington with Senator Johnson. He is now connected with the state government. Dedicatory ceremonies connected with the erection by the state of California of a monument to the Californians who gave their lives in the World war on the Nevada-California boundary line west of Verdi, Nevada, as one of the Victory highway memorials, will be in charge of the American Legion, according to word from the Victory Highway Association.

It proves that: 1. More money can be returned to all citrus growers by increasing shipments through the Exchange. 2. Exchange growers receive more money for their fruit than do non-Exchange growers. NOTE THAT the broken line (Exchange per cent of California Orange shipments) and the solid line (Exchange average f. o. b. price per box) closely parallel each other. This is not a mere coincidence. The tendency of outside shippers acting independently of one another is to ship heavily when the market is high. When these shipments are sold two weeks later the resulting oversupply lowers the market. The Exchange, having prompt and accurate market information and with its shippers working together is in the best position to anticipate these market declines and to minimize their effect by making it significant that the Exchange proportion of shipments is less when the market is entering a decline and more when the market is advancing. Growers outside the Exchange frequently have more than their share of the sales when prices are low. Exchange growers usually have a bigger percentage of total sales on higher markets. Thus Exchange growers consistently receive more money. Grade for grade, and size for size, Exchange fruit averages higher returns because the Exchange is organized to market citrus fruit efficiently. It has the most complete market news service and the most aggressive sales organization. It "knows the market" every hour of the day and takes instant advantage of every change This is not a mere coincidence. The tendency of outside shippers acting independently of one another is to ship heavily when the market is high. When these shipments are sold two weeks later the resulting oversupply lowers the market. The Exchange, having prompt and accurate market information and with its shippers working together is in the best position to anticipate these market declines and to minimize their effect by making light shipments. Likewise the Exchange can foretell with considerable accuracy the higher spots in the market and ship more heavily to meet them. The alternating high and low markets shown by the price line on the chart above are the inevitable result of fluctuating supply and demand. They would be modified and the average price level stabilized and improved if the Exchange controlled a larger per cent of the total shipments. The Exchange acts as the balance wheel for the industry, doing all it can to eliminate the alternating market gluts and shortages which are equally bad conditions for producer and consumer. What the Exchange Is THE California Fruit Growers Exchange is a non-profit organization of 11,000 California citrus fruit growers, producing about 75% of the California citrus crop, operated by and for them on a cooperative basis. Its object is to develop the national and international market for California oranges, lemons and grapefruit, and to provide a marketing organization that will sell the fruit of its members most advantageously and at least expense. Receipts from sales, less only actual costs of operation, are returned to growers. Applications are received through all of the Exchange's 201 local packing associations, 23 District Exchanges or at the central office in Los Angeles. Oranges Sunkist Lemons Grapefruit
