School Lands Will Be Sold Money to be Used for Purposes of Education Vacant school lands in California will be offered for sale by the state after January 2, 1930, according to an announcement by W. S. Kingsbury, chief of the division of state lands. Orange county at present has no vacant school lands within its boundaries. Each year the state offers school lands for sale to the public. Formerly this was done at public auction, but this year Kingsbury said the land would be sold at its appraised value. No land of known mineral character will be sold by the state. Applicants should send requests for particular parcels of land to the Division of State Lands, State Capitol, Sacramento, on and after January 2. Applications presented in person will take precedence over those received in the mail. Description of the property to be sold and forms for application may be obtained by addressing the Division of State Lands, Sacramento. San Bernardino county leads the list in total acreage to be sold with 324,267 acres available. Inyo county is second, with a total of 150,196 acres to be placed on the market. The grand total of land to be sold throughout the state is 745,769 acres. In 1853 the federal congress granted California 6,500,000 acres of federally owned land, which was to be known as "school land". It was intended for sale by the state, the money to be turned over to state schools. Of the original acreage, only that offered for sale in January remains. The bulk of the holdings was sold 50 years or more ago. During the past 20 years $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 has been received by the state in school land sale. Although additional revenue from sale of the land will be negligible, certain portions of the original grant have been retained by the state for exploitation of mineral resources. Revenue from these lands will far exceed anything collected yearly through sale of lands in the Sheriff Jernigan Sued for Damages Charging that they were unlawfully arrested and held in the county jail for a period of 48 hours, without any complaint being filed against them and without being brought before a magistrate, Walter Jordan and William Wendall Vance, Santa Ana youths, have filled suits in superior court against State Traffic Officer Harry Aldrich and Sheriff Sam Jernigan, demanding $15,000 damages each. The boys, represented by their guardians, Newell Jordan and Fred S. Vance, claim they were arrested without cause, ostensibly for having violated section 148 of the state motor vehicle act, relating to the "stripping of automobiles." They were incarcerated they claim, longer than the period of 24 hours permitted by law without the filing of a complaint. Their complaints state that they were placed in custody with adult criminals and were not permitted to communicate with family, friends or counsel. The alleged arrest was made last April 2 near Buena Park by Aldrich, it is said. Jernigan is made defendant in the case with Aldrich by virtue of his official responsibility for conduct o fthe jail. HISTORICAL CALIFORNIA The romantic story of California is being preserved and given to school children of the state through the efforts of the California Historical Association, according to State Superintendent of Education Vierling Kersey. "The association is becoming especially active," Kersey said. "Through publication and distribution of periodicals, books, monographs and documents of value to students and teachers of California history, a new knowledge of the state is being broadcast." "Historical materials suitable for public schools and study clubs are being outlined and prepared for our schools and clubs which are invaluable." FLORIDA ORANGES Sterilization of Florida oranges, lemons and grapefruit from theregions infested with the Mediterranean fruit fly is proving satisfactory, according to George H. Hecke, director o fthe state Dairy Cows Need Good Shelter It is said that Southern California has the most salubrious climate in the United States, but dairy cattle probably suffer more here during the winter than in any other state. Little or no attention has been given toward providing even the slightest of shelters. Probably the reason for not adequately sheltering their cattle is because dairymen generally fail to realize the importance of such a procedure. Elaborate structures are not necessary but shelter sheds where the stock can get in the sheds in the summer-time or in out of the rain will soon pay for themselves in added production during adverse weather conditions. A wet cow on the wet ground with only a barbed wire fence between her and the wind, even though the atmosphere temperature is several degrees above freezing, is more uncomfortable than she would be if protected from the wind and rain with the thermometer around zero. A wet cow loses heat rapidly through evaporation. She begins to shiver, using up body fat that has been made at the expense of good feed and that might otherwise have been transformed into butterfat. As has been mentioned, it is not necessary to go to the expense of erecting an elaborate structure, as a shed roof building facing south with three sides tight will give the results expected in sheltering stock from the hot sun and the rain. FLORIDA ORANGES Sterilization of Florida oranges, lemons and grapefruit from theregions infested with the Mediterranean fruit fly is proving satisfactory, according to George H. Hecke, director of the state department of agriculture. Florida officials report that prices at eastern markets compared favorably with those of unsterilized fruit. A carload of grapefruit picked in the infested area September 28 was put through a cooling process, then sterilized at 110 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 hours. This fruit was packed and loaded October 2, then processed to 50 degrees and shipped October 3 under standard refrigeration. Be cause of the truckers strike in New York the fruit was not unloaded for several days, and not sold on the auction until October 9, but brought a satisfactory price. Cessation of travel due to blocking highways with snow will permit closure of inspection stations on the Nevada border. Stations on the Oregon line will be kept open throughout the winter, however, and will be strengthened at Tijuana, Mexicali and Tecate. STATE SUBDIVISIONS The state of California is rapidly being subdivided. The State Real Estate Division, through Commissioner Stephen Barnson, reported this week that there are now 244 subdivisions in the state, with a total acreage of 830,071. Vigorous inspectors have been made by the division of all these projects. Barnson said, with the result that 14 stop orders have been issued ordering 14 projects off the market. These covered more than 70,000 acres. In addition to this, 200,000 acres either were not put on the market, or were withdrawn voluntarily by promoters as a result of conferences with the department.

In their place will appear attractive service stations of neat design, set back well from the highways, and state-regulated billboards created only at licensed points. Such is the prediction of B. B. Mack director of public works, who declares that state administration and supervision of commercial roadside structures is inevitable. Already, a committee of the State Legislature is working on the problem, and has been ordered to prepare laws for introduction in 1931 for the regulation and control of the location of gasoline stations, hot dog stands, advertising signs and other structures of a commercial nature. This committee includes Assemblymen Ray R. Ingels, Ukiah; M. J. MeDonough, Oakland; Ray Williamson, San Francisco, and Senators J. M. Allen, Yreka; J. J. Crowley, San Francisco, and Herbert J. Evans, Monrovia. In a report to the California Highway Commission, Dr. L. I. Hewes, deputy chief engineer of the United States Bureau of Public Work, said: "There that benefit most by the operation of highways are the worst offenders. Motor and motor supply advertisements are conspicuous. Gas and oil signs continually spatter your vision. Accessories, parts and supplies march over you as you go. Cheaper hotels scream at you. Eats and drinks choke you with their loud appeal. You round a strange curve to be informed that there are 'Clean Rods 500 Feet.' 'Finger and Better Gasoline at Smith's.' Your rocks are red and white and blue and yellow." Highway officials could demand that the rural rights of way be entirely free of any outdoor advertising whatever. Hewes contended. Where wider rights are required, he said.

RAPID SALES OF ELECTRIC RANGES Sales of electric ranges in the Santa Ana district of the Southern California Edison Company have totaled 41 since the beginning of the company's annual fall range sales campaign October 18, according to W. L. Deinling, district manager. Fifty percent of the recent sales have been the new Hotpoint Christmas range, which was shown for the first time on the Pacific Coast at the Edison company’s range convention in Pasadena. The cw range, designated as the Christmas range because its introduction came with the beginning of the holiday season, was designed for the Southern California Edison Company on its recommendations of women who have used electric ranges in their homes for many years. It represents the composit ideal of the thousands of women who responded to a questionnaire seeking their opinions and suggestions. More than 22,000 women whose homes are served by the Edison company have electric ranges in their kitchens, benefiting by the lowered rate which is effective for all electric service in the home where an electric range is used.

Sales of the Christmas range, installed and ready for immediate service, have exceeded the company's expectations an dit is now anticipated that the fall campaign will establish new records in popular demand for electric ranges. PENAL INSTITUTIONS California, with an estimated population of 6,000,000, has 7,379 inmates in her prisons and correctional schools. While Canada, with 11,000,000 population, has only 6,500 persons in its reform schools and prisons. These figures are disclosed by Earl E. Jensen, director of the state department of institutions, in a report to Governor Young. "The Kingdom of Sweden, with an estimated population of 4,987,520, has but 1,935 persons confined in prisons or other penal institutions, ad several prisons are reported to have been closed for lack of 'patronage'." This would give the proportion of .32 per cent for Sweden, .059 per cent for Canada, and .123 per cent for California. Adam in the Garden of Eden had one advantage over us. He didn't have to run out in front of the house every evening to see whether the parking light was turned on.
