School Trustees to Be Elected Tomorrow The election of two trustees for the Anaheim Union high school district will be held tomorrow, the voting place being at the school building. While in other years the election has brought out a light vote, it is hoped that tomorrow the voters of the city will take more interest and cast a larger number of ballots. There are four candidates, the Colonists' Educational Committee sponsoring the candidacy of Louis H. Hoskins and C. E. Harbeson. The other candidates are Dr. J. W. Harpster and George S. Baker, both of whom are now trustees. FUNERAL OF MRS CHRISTEN The funeral of Mrs. Eleanore Christen, who died Friday morning at her Anaheim, was held at Salem Evangellical church Monday morning, the Rev. E. Burgl officiating. Burial was at the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Christen was 78 years old. She was a native of Nova Scotia and had lived in California for 42 years, making her home for 13 years on the West Lincoln ranch. She is survived by her husband, W. F. Christen; five daughters, Mrs. H. H. Eshelman of Venice, Dr. Ann Perry of Los Angeles, Mrs. Wm. Annin of Huntington Park, Mrs. S. A. Adams of San Pedro and Mrs. Horace Miller of Utica, N. Y., one son Charles Perry of Huntington Park; three sisters, Mrs. Nat Burwell and Mrs. Annie Brown both of Santa Cruz and Mrs. May Thorne of Millis, Mass.; eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. An easy and satisfactory way of getting rid of these college professors and editors who regard Soviet Russia as a noble experiment would be to get them to go to Moscow and try knocking that government.

The line connects with the Bell System's new transcontinental line, passing through Las Vegas, and will carry telephone conversations to and from all parts of the world. In the building of the portion of the transcontinental line between San Bernardino and Las Vegas, a distance of 220 miles, 9,409 poles, 9,810 crossarms, 98,100 pyrex insulators, and 21,900 miles of copper wire were used. The project required 203,800 man hours; in other words, if one man could have built it alone, it would have taken him 87 years. Low Easter Rates On Santa Fe Road The Santa Fe railroad will early in April offer low rates extending over the Easter period, including all points west of Albuquerque. The round-trip rate will be for three-fifths of the regular one way fare and in some instances will be lower. The "bargain-rates," says J. B. Duffy, assistant passenger traffic manager, will apply between all points in California, Arizona and New Mexico, including the Grand Canyon. The return trip limit is midnight on April 9. DRIZZLE BRINGS .01 INCH A drizzling rain without preliminary forecast slipped into Orange county, Tuesday, and dropped .01 of an inch of water. The downfall brought the season's figures for Anaheim to 7.44, while last year for the period the precipitation was 9.87 inches. Orange Supply Is Largest In History Marketing of California and Florida Fruit Compared for Four Recent Weeks CONSUMER DEMAND GOOD Dana C. King Reviews Conditions in Markets of U.S. California orange shipments for the four weeks ending March 7 were approximately 200 cars more than for the comparable four weeks of January, while total orange shipments from Florida exceeded by almost 700 cars the record shipments for the previous four weeks, according to Dana C. King, orange sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Supply in United States "The total United States supply of oranges is now the heaviest in history," stated Mr. King. "Due to rains during the early part of February, California orange shipments were slightly less than those of the preceding month. Florida shipments in February, however, have been exceedingly heavy, being approximately 3000 cars above the average for the past five years." "According to reports from reliable sources in Florida, the mid-season crop of oranges was under estimated by approximately 2500 cars," continued the Sunkist orange sales manager. "Due to heavy droppings in these varieties, shipments were tremendously increased during the latter part of January and during February, causing the orange market to weaken slightly below January averages. However, lighter shipments from both California and Florida during the latter part of February were a strengthening factor in the market. Quality Fine, Demand Strong tened to the arguments on both sides and decided that Congress had as complete a right to specify the method of ratifying the amendment in this case as in any other. This is just another straw indicating which way the wind is blowing. People who usually guess pretty closely as to what the issues in politics are going to be are saying right now that it looks as if the big issue in 1932 would be Wet vs. Dry, with the Democratic party lined up on the Wet side and the Republican party on the Dry side. It is pointed out by President Hoover's friends that he was refused to agree to any compromise in the matter of Prohibition but remains firm in his determination not only to enforce the law as it stands, to the best of his ability, but to stand against any effort to sanction the sale of "hard liquor." Northern Democratic leaders are beginning to line up their organization decisely on the Wet side. There may come out of all of this an entirely new political line-up. There is a large element of Southern Democrats who will never "stay put" under a Wet banner, while there are large groups of Northern Republicans who Separate Handling of Each Wash fresh water, modern equipment FOOD AT ALL HOURS / PROMPT SERVICE HOME CAFE 136 E Center St. Anaheim WHOOPEE INN Spadra Rd.

Quality Fine, Demand Strong "The appearance and eating quality of California navel oranges are exceptionally fine for this time of year, and the consumer demand is strong at prevailing prices. Fine quality coupled with the intensive orange advertising and dealer service campaign throughout the United States and Canada has made it possible to move the enormous production so far this year at prices returning some profit to the grower, even in the face of generally demoralized buying conditions throughout the country. Without the heavy demand for oranges created by advertising, California citrus growers would not be in the secure position, in relation to other agricultural producers, that they are in today. The March Estimate "The March 1 estimate of the California navel orange crop shows little change over the estimate of February 1 and indicates a total of approximately 12,000 cars of Exchange navel oranges and miscellaneous varieties to go forward from that date," continued Mr. King. "Based on the latest information from Florida, approximately 14,000 cars of oranges and tangerines remain to be shipped after March 1. This is an increase in the crop of approximately 2000 cars over the February 1 estimate. There are approximately 10,230 cars of Florida grapefruit to be shipped after this date, which compares with practically the same amount two years ago. According to present estimates, there is remaining to be marketed practically the same quantity of oranges and grapefruit during the remainder of the 1939-31 season as for the comparable period in 1928-29" Shipments In February California navel orange shipments for February totaled 4591 cars, well in line with the Exchange program of distribution which estimated 4500 for this date, and compares with February shipments in 1930 or 3663 cars, 5013 in 1929 and a five-year average of 4081. Florida orange shipments, however, were the heaviest in the history of the industry, aggregating 7077 cars as compared with 4456 during the same month last year, 5780 in 1929 and a five-year average of 4079. Affairs of Week at Nation’s Capital WASHINGTON, D. C.—More than one thousand million dollars will be spent by 45 states for highways, state buildings and other public works this year, the President Emergency Committee for Employment announces. That means the actual spending of the money during 1931. Many of the projects on which these expenditures will be made were authorised last year, but it has taken several months of time to get plans properly drawn and arrangements made with contractors and others. This billion-dollar expenditure, the greater part of which will go out as wages to workers, is apart from any and all work which the Federal Government will do during the year. Enthusiastic “wets” who thought there was a chance that the Supreme Count of the United States would declare the Eighteenth Amendment unconstitutional suffered a severe disappointment the other day. A Federal District Judge named Clark, in New Jersey, had ruled that because the Prohibition amendment to the Constitution was ratified by state legislatures instead of by conventions in the different states, it had never been properly ratified. He based that decision on the rather fine-spun argument that Prohibition was an infringement upon the rights of the states and that legislatures were incompetent to surrender those rights unless specially elected for that purpose. The Supreme Court lis- are Wet and would revolt against any effort to compel them to support a Dry ticket. Although President Hoover disapproved the bill authorizing loans against soldiers' bonus certificates, as soon as it was passed by Congress over his veto he gave instructions that everything possible should be done to enable the beneficiaries under the new law to obtain their loans speedily. Passage of this and other relief measures have compelled the Treasury to go into the money market for the heaviest borrowing on behalf of the Government at any one time since the war. One effect, financiers say, will be to slow down the rate of payment on the nation's war debt. That is regarded as of less consequence than the diversion of investment funds from reviving industry. The free verse poet who has written a book demonstrating that Lincoln didn't amount to anything, now that he has got this off his mind, should take a beginner's shooter and pepper the top off of Pike's Peak.
