OBSERVATIONS SCRAPS OF PAPER Down Texas way quite a hubbub was created recently when a showman put on a bunch of French chorus girls in revue. Windows were plastered with placards showing girls appearing in undraped limbs and bodies. The town's moral censor got busy and was preparing to descend upon the literature, but the mayor headed her off, declaring the show bills were inoffensive, while hanging on the walls—but, by heck, had the French gals been galloping around wild like, it would have been different, as some of the natives might then have been bitten, or something. SAVING THE SALVÉ Megaphone Mike—"What constitutes the entertainment of royalty?" Silk Hat Harry—"That calls for a display of tinsel and brass, which is in vogue when some of the crowned heads go visiting in countries that are carrying quite a financial load. On the water they get 21 guns, while on land hats go up in the air; but when the potentates come over to give the Statue of Liberty the once over, they just wander around and then go to the movies." WHO'S WHO AND HOW Sign on Apartment House Steps—"No Dogs, Peddlers or Agents." Now, are the two latter placed on an equality with the former; or, in the order named, is the former preferable to the last two? WHEN PATIENCE CEASES TO BE A VIRTUE Statistical Sam—"What in the wide world is a war debt?" Hypothetical Hombre—"That is an obligation that keeps the lender awake nights. If he gets his interest, the kind-hearted fellow sits back satisfied; but when the borrower struts about and openly boasts that he repudiates the loan, why then the populace gets angry about carrying the overdue notes and through the head office demands that the debt be paid forthwith—and no foolin'."

THIRTEEN STEPS AWAY Active Attorney—"Aside from its horror, what is a death cell?" Prison Guard—"That is where the inmate realizes he has come nearly to end of his rope. Even a county jail is a haven of rest in comparison; and the transgressor feels as though his foot is slipping." THE LINE IS BUSY Complacent Citizen—"What is really meant by the idiosyncrasies of nature?" Baseball Fan—"Now, buddy, just sit right down there—I'll tell you. It is absolutely silly for anyone to stage a talk on farm relief or the power trust when the big series is on."

PEN PICTURE OF PROSPERITY A keen financier and capitalist says high wages makes increased consumption. Increased consumption accelerates production. Increased production provides increased employment. Increased employment assures high wages. And thus the cycle of prosperity is completed. BUT, AIN'T SHE A DEAR? Some of the drugstore cowboys are on the verge of a nervous breakdown trying to find out the correct way to pronounce the name of a certain movie star. They don't know whether to say Klara Beaux, or Klara Bough; but they all admit they would almost break their backs to bow to her; even though she could tie a bunch of them in a bowknot around her little finger. Anyhow, she is delectable and delightful and carried a wicked wallop in each mitt. WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY, MICE WILL PLAY Hurrying Motorist—"What is the low down on turning around in the middle of the block?"

PASSING THE BUCK Parrot-like Politician—"What is the meaning of the snappy slogan, 'I Did Not Say That?'" Astute Adviser—"That affords a fellow a lot of ground to crawl from under. In hi-jacker circles when a guy talks too much he is taken for a ride; but nowadays, especially during political campaigns, a person only gets up on the carpet." WHEN OLD AGE CREEPS UP ON TREM Should you look closely you will see that some of the movie stars, who have been before the camera for lo, these many moons, are undecided as to whether they would renew their contracts. They say they may turn free lance, or something. But getting down to brass tacks, the fact creeps out that one of the main reasons why they are undecided whether or not they will renew their contract is because mebbe the big boss desires to cut down the price. THE SMOKE SCREEN Glooming George—"Optimistically speaking, what is meant by the expression, 'I'm Feeling Fine and Dandy?'" Likable Landlord—"That is seeing the other fellow first, in other words, throwing out a sort of camouflage. Oftentimes by putting on a bold front, and displaying a brand of 1928 prosperity, you thereby fool the house detective and have the rent ride along for three or four months." GETS THE GLAD HAND Gasoline Gus—"From a society viewpoint, what is meant by the assertion, 'That is my car.'" Loan Shark—"A solution to the question is sue the man for a $60 milk bill. But when a guy pays spot cash for one of the classy beats, the populace look upon him with admiration and esteem, believing that he may have one of the best cellars." Should Protect Pruning Wounds Agricultural Instructor Gives Some Expert Advice In pruning fruit trees all wounds an inch and a half in diameter, or larger, should be covered, says Professor W. P. Tufts, of the College of Agriculture, University of California. If a tree is properly pruned from the start, he adds, the removal of large limbs, can, for the most part, be avoided; but if for any reason they are made, protection should be given the wounds. "All cuts," says Professor Tufts, "should be made close to the branch from which the limb is cut, leaving no stub. This will greatly facilitate the healing-of wounds." The treatment of pruning wounds will depend upon local conditions largely. In this section where foggy climate favors the growth and germination of fungi which cause wood decay, it is best to disinfect the pruning cuets as soon as the good has dried a little, but before any cracks have formed. Cyanide of gercury, using one part to 1000 parts of water, is a good disinfectant. It should not be put in a metal container. Containers of wood, glass or enamel ware should be used. Cyanide of mercury is a position and should be carefully handled as such. Where a disinfectant is used, the protective covering should be applied as soon as the disinfectant has dried. Where a disinfectant is not deemed necessary, the protective covering should be applied within a few days after making the cut. No sealing material can be expected to remain intact indefinitely, and therefore the orchard should be gone over occasionally, and the protective covering renewed wherever necessary. An emulsified asphaltum has been under the observation of the extension service in Orange county, which apparently has all the advantages of the "Grade D" asphaltum commonly used, and the additional advantages that it can be applied cold, and consequently is resistant, as well as being pos- Tuberculosis Deaths Greatly Reduced While tuberculosis workers have reduced the death rate from this disease in Orange county to one-half within the past few years, the necessity of keeping up the battle is stressed by Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, who states that according to mortality figures tuberculosis still claims one out of every ten persons who die from all causes here. While twenty more deaths from tuberculosis occurred during the past year, the percentage of mortality from the disease was 74.61 per 100,000 population, a decrease from 77.00 of 1926, indicating that instead progress is being made in cutting down the needless toll of human life from this disease. In the line of prevention, the Orange County Tuberculosis association is sponsoring a year-round Open-Air School in Santiago Canyon, where children in danger of developing active tuberculosis cared for and at the same time may continue their studies. Last summer, the association conducted a health camp on this site where 61 children were enrolled. At the end of camp, the youngsters showed an average gain of 5 to 6 pounds each. To finance the cotinance of this work 35,000 Christmas Seal letters will be sent to residents of Orange county on Thanksgiving Day. The quota for this community is $5000. Let's go over the top!

An emulsified asphaltum has been under the observation of the extension service in Orange county, which apparently has all the advantages of the "Grade D" asphaltum commonly used, and the additional advantages that it can be applied cold, and consequently is more convenient, ah well as being possibly more durable. In a recently talk, Professor R. W. Hodgson, of the University of California, discussed the effect of pruning and fertilization upon yield. He first pointed out that the large number of elements required by plants for food precludes the possibility of a commercial "Balanced ration" fertilizer, inasmuch as the ratio of the foods required is constantly being changed by the change in area and effectiveness of the leaf surfaces, and that the evidence at hand in consequence, precludes the use of so-called commercial fertilizers, or the use of chemical analysis to determine the food requirements of plants. The carbon-nitrogen ratio in the soil is of considerable importance in the production of fruit. Professor Hodgson stated, "Plant physiologists have found that if there is a deficiency in the carbon intake the plant is unhealthy—does not grow properly, and does not fruit. If the nitrogen intake is deficient, the plant does not grow properly, nor does it set a desirable amount of fruit. If, however, there is a surplus of carbohydrates manufactured in the leaves—which obviously requires a healthy large leaf surface exposed to the sunlight, and a sufficiency of nitrogen, the plant grows normally and is fruitful. If there is a surplus, or more than enough nitrogen taken up to take care of the normal needs of the plant, the result is vegetative growth and lack of fruit bearing. We find, therefore, that by excessive pruning the plant is changed from a condition of fruitfulness to one of vegetative growth. This has been shown to apply to the citrus and to the deciduous fruits; it also applies to vegetables." The proper fertilizers to apply, Professor Hodgson concludes, are nitrogen and organic matter, "essentials in the fertilization of most of our soils." Motorists Thankful For Improved Gas Motorists throughout America on this Thanksgiving Day can give sincere thanks for the high perfection of their modern motor vehicles—for the quick got-away, high speed, added economy and greater beauty of today's better car. And motorists of the Pacific Coast, in particular, can give thanks, too, for high compression fuels suitably fine for those fine new motors—gasoline which give speed, power and economy with elimination of knocking. That the "Lindy leap" across the Motorists throughout America on this Thanksgiving Day can give sincere thanks for the high perfection of their modern motor vehicles—for the quick get-away, high speed, added economy and greater beauty of today's better car. And motorists of the Pacific Coast, in particular, can give thanks, too, for high compression fuels suitably fine for those fine new motors—gasoline which give speed, power and economy with elimination of knocking. That the "Lindy leap" across the broad Atlantic may be credited for the big improvement in motor fuels, is the opinion expressed by officials of the Richfield Oil company. Here's the way they figure it: Colonel Lindbergh aroused interest in aviation. Immediately it became necessary to produce finer fuels for airplanes. Then it was discovered that those airplane-type gasolines were excellent in the new high-compression automobile engines. The result is that the gasolines offered the Western motorist today—especially some of the better gasolines such as the speedway and airway-famous Richfield—are every whit as high powered as were the "aviation specialists" of a few years back. "Not many years ago, it will be remembered," commented a Richfield official, "the autoist used to bemoan the fact that the 'good old day' of gasoline was gone. Recalling the high-test fluid sold for gasoline stoves in the pre-motor days, he wondered why gasoline should have become so much less volatile. He need not worry about that any more. Modern good gasoline, thanks to the cracking process of manufacture, is every white as good, if not better, than the gas the grocer of 1905 sold in the red 5-gallon can etoppered with the omnipresent potato." So, on the holiday, while giving thanks for good food for the human machine, motorists may well stop and speak a similar word of gratitude that mankind has been given the power to produce such excellent liquid food for motor cars. It's our opinion that the fellow who goes to Canada doesn't do so because he is thirsting for travel. FIRST NATIONAL BANK Statement of THE FIRST NATION Of Anaheim, Calif.
