California a State of Large Families California is a state of large families, according to figures of the United States census bureau. Of 83,536 births in 1928, 29,113, or 35 per cent were the first to occur in the families reporting. There were 20,503 births that were the second, or 22 per cent; and 12,265 or almost 15 per cent that were the third in the families concerned. During 1928 there were 7,668 fourth births, 4,712 fifth births, and 3,215 sixth births. In the same year, the tenth birth occurred in 66 families the twelfth in 254 families and in one, the twenty-first was reported. Another thing which ought to console the defeated candidate is that they can't put you in jail for losing an election, and the Senate never investigates you unless you win. Filling stations will be branch telegraph offices, which makes us wonder why the drug stores never thought of that. KELVINATOR— Prices—$215 to $890. FEARN— 113 So. L. A.

P. Mitchell of Orange county be permitted to attend the annual convention of California school superintendents at county expense, or teachers of the county be sent to teachers' institutes—if a statewide movement to abolish these provisions of the education laws proves successful. The attack on county superintendents is the butgrowth of their war against state printing of textbooks. According to State Printer Carroll H. Smith, the state printing system is the only nature of the educational set-up that actually saving the taxpayers money. The movement against teachers' institutes originated with the board of education at Lindsay, Tulare county, which will instruct its legislators to introduce the bills necessary to abolish the law, at the 1931 legislature. Here are the reasons the Lindsay board disapproves of teachers' institutes: 1. The institute was established to meet conditions in schools which no longer exist. Teachers enter the profession today highly trained in their respective fields, and institute is a negligible factor in influencing their efficiency. 2. Work in education has become so diversified and demands such a high degree of specialization that there is little common ground among teachers for profitable discussion. This has resulted in a generalized institute program. 3. Institute is a heavy and needless expense upon the taxpayers. Institute expenses are a direct drain upon the public funds. Loss of teacher time is a drain upon the educational efficiency of the schools, and the expense of attendance is an unjustifiable burden upon the teacher. 4. A study should be made working toward a replacement of the teacher VICTORY Three interesting and very different experiences occurred one Sunday last fall. In the morning we sat in the chapel of an historic academy in New England and, while the preacher prayed, we peeked a little. Our eyes wandered over the bowed heads of the boys; our imaginations were busy with thoughts of what might be in store for them. Riding back to New York on the train we read an impressive speech by the President of the United States. When the train stopped at Hartford we looked out of the window to see a rowd filling the air with rice and confection, and presently an embarrassed but appy young couple hurried through the car and into the drawing room. Of these events—the prayer in the academy chapel, the speech of Mr. Foover, the marriage of an unknown and apparently common-place young couple—which was the most important? Which will leave the most lasting impression on history? No one can possibly tell. If every child and every happening were labelled "This is important" or This is unimportant" the business of living would soon lose its zest. The eternal uncertainty of it keeps it exiting. For example, a King of England, coming down from Scotland, stopped or refreshment at a little town called Scooby. The young man who waited in the table was so obscure that the ring probably never noticed him. But who is more important in the light of history, the weak King James I of England or the strong young William Brewster who sailed on the Mayflower and became the first governor of Massachusetts? In 1704 occurred the Battle of Blenheim. Most of us remember nothing about it except the last lines of Robert Southey's poem: "And what was the use of it all?" asked little Tweedledee. "I don't know," the man said, "but it was a famous victory." Just one year before, not far from Farming “Talkies” Are Now Proposed But At Present Agricultural Experts Can Show Only Silent Films DEMAND IS HOLDING UP One Film Shown Total of 6,576 Times Farmers of California are under a handicap because the federal department of agriculture has no facilities for either making or showing talking pictures of educational value to agricultural interests. No one recognizes this fact more than the federal department officials, who recently communicated with the state department at Sacramento, explaining the difficulties they are meeting in an attempt to give farmers modern motion pictures. "Our laboratory is still making and circulating silent films," the federal officials said, "solely by force of necessity, because of production equipment is all of the old type, and our principal users of film, the department field workers, are not equipped with talking apparatus. "We hope soon to obtain a larger appropriation for our picture department, which will enable us to take talking films." Despite the fact that only silent pictures are available, the department reported the demand still holding up well After withdrawing 120 old film subjects, it is now distributing 234 subjects, of which there are 1,809 copies. An interesting story is told of one old film entitled "Out of the Shadows," dealing with tuberculosis eradication. In its 19 years of service, 42 copies were distributed by the department. These were shipped into the field 1,644 times, bookings for a single copy frequently running several weeks, the exhibitions totaling 6,576. In addition, 61 copies of this film were sold to foreign govern- DELEGATION TO CONVENTION A movement is under way to organize a large delegation of Orange county fruit growers to attend the 63d annual convention, to be held at the Alexandria hotel, Los Angeles, Dec. 17-19 inclusive.

"This city seems to be she business center for a large area, and everybody is very hospitable."
