Births Outnumber Deaths in County Fifty-Three Thousand Bables Born in State in Eight Months Although figures in the office of Dr. K. M. Sutherland, county health officer, show that for the first eight months this year the stork ran 150 babies behind the number delivered to parents in Orange county during the same period last year, he still is playing a winning game in the county, for reports show that 758 persons died between January 1 and September 1, this year, leaving a balance of 430 births over deaths for the first two-thirds of the year. Proof that life is leading death by a good margin in the eternal marathon between the two, at least in California, is shown in the report just released by Guy P. James, acting chief of the state bureau of vital statistics, in Sacramento. This report shows that in the entire state 53,666 babies were born this year up to September 1, compared with 44,316 deaths. There is a deduction of 3538 to be subtracted from the margin, however, due to infant deaths, which still leaves a balance of 5812 lives on the credit side of the ledger. According to the report from Sacramento, all signs point to the fact that again this year California will set up a new low mark in infant mortality, which is another good reason for being born in California. During the last two years the state's birth rate has averaged 20 babies to every 1000 of estimated population. Last year, separate figures compiled for Mexicans showed that there were 12,688 births of that nationality, or about 15 per cent of the total for the state. Japanese births continue to decrease from the peak of 5257, set in 1921. The decreasing immigration from Japan has caused the figure for the births in this division to steadily grow smaller. It is said that stocks are worth ten times what they really earn and if we could rate individuals the same way we know a lot of men who would feel pretty cheap.

"May we ask a favor? Won't you please telephone your Christmas greetings early—early in the day and early in the holiday season? "Last year so many people sent their greetings over the wires at the last moment—to some distant places 30 times the usual number—that we could not get all of them through with the quickness that gives them a true Christmas flavor. "If you will just telephone early, we'll try hard to do a better job than ever before. "Thank you." THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY Printed Word Has Great Influence Many Demands for Documents From Dept. of Agriculture Emphasizing the educational activities of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and stressing the part which the printed word plays in this field, M. S. Eisenhower, Director of the Office of Information, in his annual report to Secretary Hyde, made public, pointed out that the department had distributed more than 25,000,000 copies of publications in the year ending June 30,1929, the great majority of which were popular in content and distributed free by the department and by Members of Congress. He also commented on the expansion of the department's Radio Service and gave special emphasis to the "appetite of the press for information on the work of the department, which has been in line with the increased public in the results of scientific research and in economic information." In addition to the publications distributed by the department, Mr. Eisenhower reported that the Government Printing Office had sold about one million copies, approximately at cost. The demands for bulbating increased, but in holding down printing costs stocks of many publications became exhausted early in the year. He pointed out that the department's expenditures for printing had remained virtually unchanged for several years, while other departmental activities had expanded enormously. "The Office of Information is in no wise a publicity agency in the usual sense of that term," said Mr. Eisenhower in discussing the educational activities of the organization. "Its purpose is not to acquire prestige for itself nor for the depration as a whole, nor to sell the department to the public, nor to advertise the achievements of departmental workers, but to make public the results o f the department's manifold activities." He recalled that when Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act in 1914 it was said the agricultural knowledge than accumulated in the de- "Sh!"

Walsh had graduated a few years before from Seton Hall College in New Jersey. Through his father's influence he was placed with the late Paul Armstrong a prolific playwright of that era. Walsh learned a lot about writing for the stage, but decided to become an actor. He then played in several stage productions, eventually joining the old Biograph company. Later he felt the urge to direct and succeeded immediately. During recent years he has directed many successes, notably "What Price Glory." Others were "The Thief of Bagdad," "The Wanderer," "The Lady of the Harem," "The Red Dance," "Me Gangster," "Loves of Carmen," "Sadie Thompson," and "In Old Arizona." "The Cock Eyed World," is based on a story by Laurence Stallings and Max- "The Office of Information is in no wise a publicity agency in the usual sense of that term," said Mr. Eisenhower in discussing the educational activities of the organization. "Its purpose is not to acquire prestige for itself nor for the department as a whole, nor to sell' the department to the public, nor to advertise the achievements of departmental workers, but to make public the results of the department's manifold activities." He recalled that when Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act in 1914 it was said the agricultural knowledge than accumulated in the department was 25 years in advance of average farm practice, but that the disparity is not now so great. "To help in removing it," he continued, "is the chief duty of the Office of Information." As an evidence of the efficient functioning of education through the printed word, which is the principal objective of the office, Mr. Eisenhower summarized a survey made by the Extension Service which showed that this is by far the cheapest and least time-consuming method of inducing farm people to adopt improved farm and home practices. The department's radio activities expanded greatly during the year in effectiveness and expanded somewhat in the number of services rendered to broadcast stations. This second increase is particularly notable in view of the sharp reduction in the number of stations now broadcasting. Until the year covered by this report, all Radio Service programs had been in the syndicate manuscript form for reading by station announcers. Beginning in October 1928 the Radio Service arranged with the National Broadcasting Co., to supply a 15 minute broadcast by members of the department staff in the noon-hour of five days of the week. This network serves 22 states. Two special nation-wide broadcasts carried the first national "outlook" broadcast last January, and the National 4-H Club program last June. Discussing press relationships, Mr. Eisenhower said that "'the appetite of the press" for information on the work of the department had increased so greatly that the small staff employed by the Press Service had been unable to meet all demands and that in some cases it had been necessary to send "raw material" to newspapers and magazines which had requested articles and information. Mr. Eisenhower emphasized the effectiveness of supplying cultural information to the public through the agency of press associations and syndicates citing as an example the wide distribution of materials supplied to press association farm pages and science pages. That the material is welcome to editors is indicated by the fact that more syndicates are asking for the service. The Press Service has not had the personnel and facilities to supply as many photographs and as much graphic material as the press would like to use. It is now supplying some material regularly to most of the important news syndicates. Mr. Eisenhower's report included specific recommendations for the expansion of the informational work of He Was Told to Do This Deed by Griffth, Seventeen Long Years Ago, We Find It's a cock eyed world after all!

Raoul Walsh is the man, and his newest effort is the Fox Movietone all talking picture, "The Cock Eyed World," which will open next Monday, December 23 at the Fox Theatre for three days of continuous performance from 2:30 to 11:00 p.m. Seventeen years ago, Walsh was ordered by D. W. Griffth to climb into a stage box of a theatre and shoot Lincoln. He did, and escaped. That was the way the script of "The Birth of a Nopsis contains 63 pages as compared with 200 in the act. The synopsis represents several months of painstaking work on the part of the legal department of the division. It contains special messages by Governor C. C. Young and B. B.

FRUIT DEALERS LICENSED Fruit dealers throughout California had best watch their step if they venture into buying end of the business. It is now state law that all deciduous fruit dealers must be licensed by the state department of agriculture. Since the law went into effect in August a total of five arrests have been made for those operating without necessary license and bond. B. F. Waymire, fruit buyer operating in the Turlock and Modesto districts, is the latest victim of the law. His refusal to produce books covering grape purchases resulted in his arrests.
