OBSERVATIONS AUNT JANE AND HER COUNTRY COUSINS Tia Juana, in plain United States English, is Aunt Jane. A whale of a lot of Americans who pay Aunt Jane a week-end visit tell you that the old gal can separate you and your money quicker than greased lightning. Aunt Jane wakes up every morning with an awful headache, and she must be a sick woman to see all the vice and sin scattered around her. When it comes to entertaining her American cousins at the roulette wheel Aunt Jane can dent their bank rolls so perfectly that the poor visiting relatives have not enough Jack left to buy carfare out of the hell hole. Ten years ago Aunt Jane looked as driv as a bunch of mesquete bushes, but now she has grown fat and sleek and resembles a red-hot tamale. Aunt Jane raises heck with the young American sisters and cousins who happen to fly about the flame and many of them have sad stories to tell—if they have not lost their power of speech. Those who have not lost their eye sight might stagger out—but they are lost. Lots of the American cousins of Aunt Jane go down to see her expecting to win enough money to pay off the mortgage—but usually they lose all their money and the mortgage besides. Aunt Jane is a sly old bird, and while she promises a lot of good things after she gets her guests within her gates, she proceeds to trim them as slick as a whistle. But they go back for more, and some of the kin seem to like it. AINT WE GOT FUN The good looking and lovely gals hold all the trump cards in those roister resorts in some of the big cities that become animated when the stars begin to twinkle and the dipper hangs near the milky way. It is there, according to reports, where joy is unconfined. Married men from out of town call each other by their first names after the dumb waiter breezes in two or three times; and after Jack's acquaintance for a certainty and things are running smoothly the he-men patrons play leap frog with each other and indulge in other frolic that bring back fond memories of their childhood happy days. This is all brought about by the atmosphere, punctured by numerous libations of cheer water. It is said a married man while at home, where he looks like he is deaf and dumb, will attend one of these bizarre blowouts and act up something scandalous. When at home the good wife has to stand him on his head to extract from him something that resembles real money; but when he steps out with the carmine charmers he will peal off the long green from his bankroll in quantities sufficient to choke a cow. It's a great life if you won't weaken and get a headache; and one of the nocturnal queens has said that while the orange coast with the state ten off the boating cording to the settlement to the settlement a record year.

Ironing Out the Rough Spots Plain-Everv-Dav Citizen—"What is a friendly feeling?" Playing-With-Fire Person—"Friendship I would say is one of the best words in the dictionary. But when some smart alces conceive to slip something over on their big boy friend, and he finds it out, then the peace envoys from over there—the fellows who really count—come and call and smoke the pipe of peace." Man Is Innocent Until Proven Guilty The other day when a couple of candidates for congress were billed for speeches in a Southern city there were no audiences to greet them. Can it be possible that the people conceded their election and no campaigning was necessary; or, was there a possibility that the populace felt as though they did not cut any ice and were not an issue. Getting First Hand Information Dyspeptic Dan—"What would you recommend to stop a man from talking in his sleep?" Nocturnal Wanderer—"That is an ailment that should be attended to at once. Brisk walks just after the supper hour helps out wonderfully provided you hit the hay the same day you get up. But when a sickle married man gets tired of looking at the four walls at home, and should his wife be troubled with insomnia, he should be very careful in choosing his evening running mates; because if he starts dreaming, his subconscious mind may be responsible for causing a lot of embarrassment at the breakfast table." Frisky Indoor Sport Unsuspecting Silvia—"What is a short-change artist?" Lightfingered Gentry—"That is a person who you must keep constantly before you. When you are standing in line and you pick up your balance in a hurry sometimes you find out later that the cashier must be shortsighted, or something." Inside Looking Out Prospective Bridegroom—"Categorically speaking, what is meant by 'I'll see you later?'" Divorced Husband—"That lifts a load off your mind when you thus timidly express yourself to the installment collector; but when a fellow is ordered by the judge to pay the wife alimony (and he does not) there is always a comeback." Lifting The Loot Peaceful Phillys—"What is meant by having stolen goods in your possession?" INSIDE LOOKING OUT Prospective Bridegroom—"Categorically speaking, what is meant by 'I'll see you later?'" Divorced Husband—"That lifts a load off your mind when you thus timidly express yourself to the installment collector; but when a fellow is ordered by the judge to pay the wife alimony (and he does not) there is always a comeback." LIFTING THE LOOT Peaceful Phillys—"What is meant by having stolen goods in your possession?" Cushion Foote—"That stirs up the police all over the country; but a preventative is found by keeping your valuables in a safe place: because the enterprising burglar goes to a house, and after vigorously ringing the door bell, and no one comes to the door, he boldly enters and helps himself at his leisure." DOWN ON THE DOTTED LINE Country Maid—"What is a contract?" High-Powered Salesman—"Of course that applies to various matters, for instance, marriage; but, aside from that, before you sign a contract, which is a binding instrument, be sure what you are going to buy is what you want." GOOD NIGHT! Horatio Horsfedder—"What is, riding a bronc?" Rastus Remuv-yc-self—"Dat am a fizzicle exercise when pusson sort of sudden and abrupt draws de conclusion to separate hisself from fast company. From de promulgation of latest statistics few cowboys rides dem hosses, whose foah feet are up in de air rapid and simultaneous. Unles dem he-man gemmans cultivates de ideah to remain whar dey expects to be, and likewise thoroughly keep dere mind on dat perticular bisness, at dat time, dey sure take chances of sliddin' offen their haed, and piln' up on de ground all in a heap, while dat equine hoss goes flingin' his feet promiscuous and fanning de air in close proximity to dat fallen hero's shins and anatomamy in gen'ral." THE GUY WOULD MAKE A DANDY BOOK AGENT Timid Teller—"What is an infernal machine?" Best Sellers—"Say, boy, that's something to make you reach for the ceiling; but when a bold bandit tells you he's going to blow you up, and you later discover his bag is full of old papers, you feel like ten cents of liverwurst." Orange County Pays Its Debt to State Squares Up for the Year and Starts With New Slate Orange county's semi-annual account with the state of California was written off the books as "paid in full." According to the assessor's office, the settlement totaled $33,170.11 and, with the settlement made last May, makes a record yearly total for this county. By far the largest proportion of the amount was inheritance taxes, which, under the state law, are collected by the counties. The inheritance tax figure, according to Eckel, was $26,350.74. Of this figure, however, the county gets $728.93 in fees while the appraisers' fees amounted to $69.50, making a net total paid to the state of $25,052.31. The settlement last May amounted to $47,727.24. The total for 1928 thus was $80,897.35. The May settlement was particularly large because of several large estates on which inheritance taxes were paid. Among these was the Lottie E. Palmer estate, valued at over $40,000, said Eckel. The retainer of the money turned over to the state in the December settlement went toward upkeep for persons sent from this county to state institutions. The county pays one-half of cost of maintenance for those committed from this section. To the Whittier State school the county paid $30.71 for this purpose; to the Preston School of Industry, in Ione, $3680.4; to the California School for Girls, $496.80; to the Sonoma State home, $2240; to the Pacific colony, $439.19, and to the Norwalk State hospital, $430.65. The total paid to institutions in May was $4727.65 and a year ago was $5716.95. All counties of California contributed a total of $8,629,002.44 to the state's treasury, according to State Controller Kay L. Itley, who declared the grand total was by far the largest since the act went into effect. Among other items represented by the payments were allotments for care of patients in state schools, hospitals and other institutions, in addition to some state land money. Los Angeles led all counties of the state with its inheritance tax payment, the total being $5,075,787.97. Pittsburgh, and sell them in competition with American made goods. Why? Simply because the iron makers of those countries live on a lower plane, have fewer comforts of life than the American and practically none of the luxuries. No man, who has traveled in Europe, to say nothing of Asia, falls to come back with a heightened appreciation of American institutions, and American social life. The protective tariff is the bulwark of these institutions industrially. Daily Radio Program Beginning each day at 12 m. and continuing 10 minutes, talks of interest to farmers, growers and producers will be given during the week beginning December 31, under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, co-operating with Radio Station KFI, as follows: December 31—"Turkey Mullein Weed As a Poisonous Plant," by Dr. G.

Jack Rabbits in Antelope Valley Thousands of rabbits have been waxing fat on the Antelope Valley Alfalfa Growers during the past season. The Farm Advisor's Office reports that the growers have tried fences, poison and what not but still the rabbits keep coming. Sportsmen will find the Valley an ideal place in which to hunt and will be welcomed to the Valley. Hunters should, however, confine themselves to the sagebrush near the alfalfa districts. Large areas both east and west of Lancaster will provide good hunting. Coun- Prizes Offered for Bee-Keeping Projects ERIC E. EASTMAN Assistant Farm Advisor A great stimulus to the boys and girls of the 4 H Agricultural Bee Keepers' clubs is furnished by prizes and a beautiful silver loving cup recently offered by A. L. Boyden and the A. L. Boyden company, to winners in the County Fair and in the bee-keeping projects. The prizes are offered by the A. L. Boyden company to Orange County 4 H club boys for the following exhibits in the County Fair: 1st—For the most instructive and educational exhibit in bee-keeping, also showing the possibilities of bee-kearing. One extra select tested Italian queen in 3 frame nucleus Italian bees with brood and honey, etc. 2nd—For the best comb of brood (with bees) in observation hive. One standard 10-frame hive, nailed, painted; and frames wired and filled with full sheets, 3-ply foundation. 3rd—For the finest and best filled frame of honey for extracting: One copy of "ABC and NYZ of Bee Culture," 1929 edition. To the winner in the bee-keeping projects in Orange County, A. L. Boyden offers a beautiful silver loving cup. This cup will become the permanent property of the boy or girl who can win three times. The name of each year's winner will be engraved upon it. Mr. Boyden became interested in bee-keeping, when as a boy he captured a swarm alone and unadded, and transferred them to a hive of his own construction. From that small and apparently accidental beginning, Mr. Boyden has become one of the most influential and best informed of the bee men in the West, and his desire to assist the 4-H Bee club members is thus based upon the experience of his own boyhood. Greatest Citrus Crop Is Predicted Antelope Valley Thousands of rabbits have been waxing fat on the Antelope Valley Alfalfa Growers during the past season. The Farm Advisor's Office reports that the growers have tried fences, poison and what not but still the rabbits keep coming. Sportsmen will find the Valley an ideal place in which to hunt and will be welcomed to the Valley. Hunters should, however, confine themselves to the sagebrush near the alfalfa districts. Large areas both cast and west of Lancaster will provide good hunting. County and State regulations also prohibit shooting from or across county or state highways. Hunting near residences is likewise forbidden. The Antelope Valley Farm Bureau is planning to conduct several rabbit drives in the near future. Thousands of rabbits are driven into the enclosures which are previously built. Such drives are necessary to keep the rabbits from becoming too great a nuisance. Hunting likewise is an aid to the growers. The fellow who makes money on the stock market is the one who can see the breakers ahead in time to put on his swimming suit. WARMTH IN SMALL HEATERS NOW IN COLORS Every room now may Greatest Citrus Crop Is Predicted "The greatest crop in the history of the orange industry" is the term used to describe the Valencia orange crop or 1929, it was revealed in viewing the "set" for the coming season, following the final windup of the 1928 crop. An increase of 25 to 30 per cent is anticipated for this year over the 1927 crop, which was an average production, according to Dale R. King, local citrus sales manager. Nearly 7000 carloads are expected to be handled by the exchange of this district, or 60 per cent more than in 1927, when 3262 cars were shipped. Approximately 5322 cars were shipped by the exchange last year. While the crop for 1928 was but 61 per cent of the 1927 total, the receipts were 80 per cent of 1927. King revealed, which indicates that prices were at least 20 per cent better during the past season than the previous year. The highest valuation of a Valencia crop was received in 1927 by the exchange when the total approximated $10,000,000. In 1928, the returns were nearly $8,000,000. TARIFF ON METALS In the spring of 1914, Belgian iron bars and Belgian tin plate were sold successfully in Pittsburgh in competition with American made bars and American plate. In other words it was possible for Belgion, German and English iron and steel makers to produce their goods, ship them across the ocean and pay the railroad freight from Boston, Baltimore or New York City to Every room now may have its individual heating unit.
