THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) SAYS "TRY THE HOME FOLKS FIRST" The idea that buying in the big city is a saving, is not always correct. Years ago this was true—before the day of standardized merchandise, when operating a store was 90% buying and 10% selling; in days when a store-keeper bought a six months' stock at one time, and before the present transportation systems and distribution methods were existent. Then, there was no question but what one could purchase newer, more up-to-date and perhaps better merchandise in the city, and for less—but it's different now. The truth of the matter is that standardized merchandising, and that is the only kind of merchandise in which to invest, CAN be sold, and in millions of cases IS being sold for less money in towns away from big cities. That you can buy for less in a big city, or that an article or thing purchased in the city is any better, is mostly all in your mind—a fact once, but a myth now. BUT the city merchants are wise business men, and they have purposely let the old idea prevail, in fact, have done much to encourage you to continue to think along the lines of "what used to be." And why should they not? It is good business—on THEIR part. But there is many a city merchant who laughs up his sleeve when you buy from him the very same thing that you could have purchased at home for less money. Recently I asked a city merchant: "Why should a resident of Blankville buy from you?" His reply was: "We make them like it," and that is all he would say. When asked if he sold for less, he said: "I'd rather not discuss that subject." As long as there are towns and cities and people in them, there will always be certain ones who will think that in order to be somebody, and have something to talk about, in order to "lord" it over others, to be different from what they term the plebeian multitude, they have to go to some other city to buy. People who live in Blankville go to Oshkosh; those in Oshkosh go to Milwaukee; Milwakeelans go to Chicago; Chicagolites go to New York; New Yorkers go to Paris—so these people have gone and are going but every day, more and more THINKING people are awakening to the fact that it's all poppy-cock as far as values are concerned. City people—thousands of them—are driving to smaller communities to purchase everything from edibles, clothing and furniture to luxuries, and they are buying these things at a saving. Don't be "contemptuously familiar" with the advantages your own stores offer you—do not stand so close to the picture that you cannot see the frame—it is to the advantage of YOUR pocket book evidence of good judgment, and to the advantage of YOUR community, which is YOUR advantage, to buy where you live, work, play and make your money.

The estimates made for the total state crop this year range from 27,000 tons to 35,000 tons. A guess made at the price for this season by one of the packing house managers interviewed, set the figure at about two cents under the prices paid last year. Charles Heinrichs, president of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers' association, recently attended a meeting of the state association in Los Angeles, when 42 associations were represented with one member present from each. This group of men made preliminary plans for the season's activities at the meeting and, it is said, will meet again about the first of October to fix the price to be paid. According to Heinrichs, there are rumors that a certain amount of damage was done the walnuts locally by the recent heat wave, but he stated that no particular damage had come to his attention and that he felt the loss would be negligible. "I will admit that it has been a little too hot to be exactly comfortable for the growers," he stated, "but the fogs hat followed were highly welcome and were exactly what were needed for the walnut groves, even if they were not so good for the beans of the county. We had expected an early date for beginning operations in the packing house but that has been delayed by the continued hot weather and will be about the average time, September 25. Preliminary surveys indicate that about 2,500 tons will be handled at the packing house of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers' association. W. C. Collins, of the C. C. Collins packing house, in the southern part of the county made an estimate of from 30,000 to 32,000 tons for the total state production this year, and said that his guess on the price for this year was that it would be about two cents lower than that paid last year. "There has been some damage caused by the hot spell," Collins stated, "al- Motor Notes Late reports from Tonopah, Nevada, are that all roads damaged by recent storms are under repair and should be better as a whole, as a result of the added moisture. Usually the roads there are dry and dusty and the water washes them quite badly in places, but they are always repaired in a day or so, with very little inconvenience to the out-of-state motorist, who is passing through the state. On the Coast Route to San Diego, a detour is encountered leaving La Jolla. This detour is over oiled dirt road, sections of which are rough, necessitating slow driving. Recent rains have badly washed the roads in the vicinity of Barstow, particularly the National Old Trails. However, repairs are rapidly being made, and within a day or two these roads will be in good condition. Four states will undertake gigantic road building projects in 1929 as the result of bond issues totaling $240,000,000, approved by voters in the November election. Iowans are preparing to "get out of the mud" at an even faster rate than during 1928, as the result of a $100,-000,000 bond issue approved by the electorate. The bonds will make possible the improvement of 6,000 miles in the state's primary system, and the taking over of $60,000,000 indebtedness voted by 61 counties. Louisiana, Missouri and West Virginia are the other three states planning an expansion of their road building programs as the result of new bond issues approved. Louisiana voted to raise its gas tax to four cents a gallon to provide a $30,-000,000 bond issue for improvement of the state highway system. On the Miami Viaduct, at Miami, Florida, are many signs directing "You must go 35 miles per hour over this viaduct," and the driver who disobeys the rule is handed a ticket by one of the motorcycle officers on duty. Actual work on the new Pasadena-Palmdale short cut is scheduled to start in September. The course of the construction will run north from La Canada to a point south of Dark Canyon. Width of the highway will vary from 26 to 40 feet and approximately one year will be required to complete the construction. On the route between San Antonio, Texas, and Mexico City via the Pan-American Highway, pavement is had to Laredo, 150 miles, except for approximately 40 miles of fair dirt leading into Encinal.

"There has been some damage caused by the hot spell," Collins stated, "although to what extent it is difficult to prophesy. The situation doesn't look as good as it did, however, and there is bound to be some shriveled nuts and a higher per cent of amber meats, which will result in a smaller proportion of Diamond quality." "As to price I cannot say what the situation will be, although I'm guessing that it will be about two cents lower than last year. Last year budded Diamonds brought 28½ cents; Diamond No. 1, 26 cents; large budded Emerald 25 cents, and No. 1 soft shell Emerald, 23 cents. The proportion of Emeralds will be much greater this year in my judgment." W. M. Smith, manager for the Guggenheim and company packing house in Santa Ana, stated that it was too early to determine what damage had been done by the hot weather. "There is bound to be some damage in the grove that did not get enough water, with a heavy mold inside the nut and some discolored meats from sunburn," Smith declared. "It is too early for surveys that will determine that. We can tell more about the damage after the crop starts to come off about the middle of the month. As to quantity I should say that there will be about three times as much as last year, although it will not be as heavy as in 1927. The increased acreage will help to approach that total. The opening price will be fixed by the association about the first of October and it is hard to estimate what it will be. Last year the average net to the grower was just a little over 22 cents. Our house handled 2,000 tons last year." On the route between San Antonio, Texas, and Mexico City via the Pan-American Highway, pavement is had to Laredo, 150 miles, except for approximately 40 miles of fair dirt leading into Encinal. A graded gravel road, on which some construction is under way, is had to Villa Santiago, with graded dirt to Villagran, about 250 miles distant from Laredo. From this point into Mexico City, construction work is progressing rapidly, but due to many poor sections and lack of adequate bridges and signs, this section is not as yet advisable for general motor travel. Meteor Crater, located approximately 42 miles east of Flagstaff, Arizona, is now attracting the interest of many motorists over the National Old Trail route. The road to this unusual attraction has been greatly improved within the last two years. It has been paved as far east as Canyon Padre, a distance of 22 miles east of Flagstaff, and the remaining 20 miles consists of first class gravel. This is a region of volcanic hills, low and rolling. For some miles the drive takes one through tall pines and flowered meadows. To the north Sunset Mountain glows, a dull red against the sky. Meteor Crater lies on a level plain and the rim is a succession of small hills. Approaching it one works their way through the smaller hills, climbing higher and higher. The top of the rim is 200 feet above the level of the surrounding plain and the crater itself is almost a mile across, 600 feet deep and forms a perfect circle. It has always been supposed that the Crater was formed by the falling of a giant meteor for there is positively no sign of volcanic activity that might have formed it. For years fragments of the meteor have been picked up within a radius of ten miles of the Crater. Marks Named For Court of Appeals G. K. Scovel assumes Marks' Old Duties From the State Capitol late last week came the announcement by Governor Young of his naming Emerson J. Marks, one of the justices of the new Fourth District Court of Appeals. To fill Marks' post of superior court judge in Orange county, the governor named George K. Scovel, prominent Santa Ana attorney. Judge Marks was appointed superior judge on July 2, 1925, and has been on the bench since that time. He was elected to the office in the fall of 1926, starting the term he is now serving January 1, 1927. A resident of Orange county since 1881, Marks came here from New York state. He practiced law in Fullerton from 1920 to 1925, at which time he took over the duties on the bench. During the World War, Judge Marks was a major of infantry and served most of the time in Washington, D.C., on the general staff. He is well known as a Legionnaire throughout the county. G. K. Scovel is one of the youngest superior judges ever appointed. He is 34 years old and has been practicing law in Santa Ana since 1920, when he was graduated from Stanford University. A member of the firm of Head, Wellington, Jacobs and Scovel, in Santa Ana, Scovel has been one of the most prominent young attorneys in the city for the past several years. His appointment was received enthusiastically by attorneys who had heard of it. Scovel also is prominent in American Legion affairs, serving as commander of the Santa Ana post, No. 131, during the year of 1926. LET'S ABOLISH STUNTING Flying is past its elementary stages. Accidents seldom occur where planes have been properly tested before taking off, and pilots have been familiar with their crafts and have flown in a man- Perishable Crops Off For the Orient The increasing foreign perishable produce market in the Orient has prompted a great deal of experimentation in marine refrigeration, according to Prof. E. L. Overholser, a visitor at the State Fair. Prof. Overholzer, assistant professor of pomology at the University of California, leaves San Francisco to day (Sept. 12) on the refrigeration ship Silverhazel, with fifteen tons of experimental cargo of perishable fruits and vegetables for a trip to Japan, China, Philippine Islands Dutch East India, Java and the Straits Settlements. Prof. Overholser was the guest of Carl Spurico, agricultural commissioner of Solano county, in charge of the Solano county booth at the State Fair, and was particularly interested in examining the fruits in the exhibit, since much of it has been in cold storage three months. Included in the cargo of the Silverhazel will be apples, pears, grapes, peaches, plums, truck garden produce, melons, dried fruits. There is a big market in the Orient and among the natives of the various islands, said Overholser, and ships are well equipped to handle refrigeration. The problem, however, is to overcome the changes in the temperature of the water in which the boat must travel and various details that must be worked out before the shipping of perishables reaches proportions equal to the market that is awaiting California fruits and vegetables. INTERESTING MOTOR TRIP One of the most interesting trips in the Southwest is the one which extends from Gallup, New Mexico, on the National Old Trails route through Shiprock, New Mexico, to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. This route is known as U.S. No. 666. Leaving Gallup, a paved highway leads northward past interesting coal-mines and into the low, pine-tree studded hills, where the pavement ends and gives way to a high class gravel surfaced road. Unique erosional forces have produced LET'S ABOLISH STUNTING Flying is past its elementary stages. Accidents seldom occur where planes have been properly tested before taking off, and pilots have been familiar with their crafts and have flown in a manner dictated by sound judgment. There have been many accidents, however, due to the foolish habit of dangerous, daring stunting by aviators. The recent death of Wilmer Stulz and two companions was widely attributed to the fact that the plane was flying perilously low and several dangerous stunts were tried within the first twenty minutes after the plane went up in the air. Several flyers, attempting hazardous landings, have met their fate. Such carelessness retards the progress of aviation. There is no need to enumerate the various accidents directly due to stunting—but there is need for the establishment of a rule, and the rigid enforcement of it, abolishing the practice of stunting in the air. Flying is safe—if care is taken. INTERESTING MOTOR TRIP One of the most interesting trips in the Southwest is the one which extends from Gallup, New Mexico, on the National Old Trails route through Shiprock, New Mexico, to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. This route is known as U. S. No. 666. Leaving Gallup, a paved highway leads northward past interesting coal mines and into the low, pine-tree studded hills, where the pavement ends and gives way to a high class gravel surfaced road. Unique erosional forces have produced some highly interesting natural wonders along this road. It also leads through the Navajo Indian Reservation where flocks of goats and sheep are passed, the hogans or native Indian huts and leaning against them the squaws weaving their world-famous blankets. Next is passed a strangely formed rock in the middle of the desert greatly resembling a great ship. At sunset this rock will shimmer, float and appear to move. A few miles further the pleasant Indian Agency of Shiprock comes to view with its carefully laid out experimental farms and tree shaded streets. Thence the road leads to the state line, through the Ute Reservation into Cortez, Colorado, and then to Mesa Verde National Park.

Kerosene, more commonly known as "coal oil," which used to be such a household word in the pre-electric days in America, is now in little demand here save in those far, off-trail sectors where they still polish the chimneys and trim the wicks of old-fashioned lamps. But in far-away India where they but recently graduated from the wax or tallow tapers and the olive-oil lanterns of ancient days, kerosene lamps are quite smart and new—the fluid to keep the "parlor lamp" or the kitchen "bracket light" brightly burning, is still in demand. So say officials of the export department of the Richfield Oil Company in commenting upon a record shipment of kerosene—a total of 1,350,000 gallons—from San Pedro harbor to the ports of Calcutta, Bombay and Budgebudge in India. In addition to was shipped in 12 tons each, the total of 3,320 drucating oils. The shipment Danish steamer.

The crow eats beetles, locusts, grasshoppers, crickets and other destructive bugs. Therefore the Department of Agriculture suggests that the crow should not be killed merely for fun, but should be allowed to live and carry on its useful work for the benefit of the farmer. Some people will immediately remember that the crow eats corn as well as bugs. Nevertheless it is coming to be believed that the crow is at least as useful as it is useless. Well, what can be done about it? The best solution is to place the crow on the free list. All compliments received are the property of the person giving them and should be returned.
