Governor Rolph Proclaims June 16 "California Produced Determined Effort Made to Increase Local, Foreign PROCLAIMATION TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA: In recognition of the heroic efforts made by the farmers of our state to overcome their common difficulties and to bring a more abundant return to the people, we have found it fit and appropriate to set aside a day which shall annually be observed, "California Farm Products Day." The first of these anniversaries has been set for Thursday, June 16. We ask that all residents of California forego either on that date in their respective communities to participate in a program which shall have for its purpose the wholesome exploitation of the products of the soil and the opportunity to great those of our people from whose orchards and farms come the life, the vigor and the rich tradition of our state. The blendid performance of our farm peas under the distressing circumstances which have made the past few years very directly deserves this recognition and this cooperation on the part of all of California. The products of our state are known throughout the world. Let us fittingly honor the men and women who have won this recognition at no small sacrifice to themselves. Every Part of State Endorses Move for Promotion of Agricultural Products Whole-hearted endorsement of California farm products day on June 16 has been given by Governor James Rolph, Jr., who has issued an official proclamation urging all citizens of California to observe this state-wide day with fitting observance. "From every part of the state we are receiving letters of endorsement and commendation," said Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture, who is sponsoring its promotion on behalf of California agriculture. "We are determined to strengthen are markets in other states and countries as well as in California. It was our judgment that this could best be done by having Californians lead the way by setting aside a day each year in which those in cities and towns could meet with farmers and discuss agricultural problems. This naturally will tend to bring urban and rural California closer together and should be reflected in a material improvement in the agricultural industry." "Chambers of commerce an dother civic organizations are being asked to sponsor farm products luncheons on..." Knights of Columbus Select Two Delegates Delegates were chosen last week by the Knights of Columbus, Anaheim council, to attend the state convention at Riverside May 15, to 17. Carl Wollenman will attend as grand knight, with Edwin Bradley named as alternate; Edwin Daly is past grand knight delegate, with Ernest Ganahl chosen as alternate. Last week's meeting featured a debate on the Sharkey Oil Control bill, with Leo Gorman upholding the negative, and S. S. Galagher the affirmative on the proposition. District Deputy Walter Volknior of Whittier paid his semi-annual visit. Marc Goodnow Judge In Newspaper Award Herman Roe, field director of the National Editorial association and manager of the better newspaper contest sponsored annually by N. E. A., has named Marc N. Goodnow, journalism field representative of the University of Southern California, as one of the judges for the 1932 competition. The Trojan professor will serve as chairman of the committee selecting the winner of a trophy awarded by James Wright Brown, president of Editor and Publisher, for the greatest community service rendered by a newspaper during the past year. Development of business increased 60 per cent in new corporations, and 300 per cent in partnerships, which are considered a truer index. Other records show: 1—Litigation has increased by leaps and bounds, with more than twice as many lawsuits during the last 11 years than during the first 30, with rapid increase of population as one explanation. 2—Crime in superior court was greater by more than 2000 cases during the last 11 years than during the first 30 years. 3—Juvenile delinquency cases were multiplied four and one-half times, as a startling light upon the trend of modern youth. 4—and inebriacy multiplied nearly seven times during the period covered by the prohibition amendment. Backs records show that between 1889 and 1919 there were 968 insanity cases heard in superior court, while between 1919 and 1931 there were but 454 cases, of which 92 were heard last year. This is the only court activity which decreased. There were 2033 more original cases in the court between 1919 and 1931 than between 1889 and 1919. There were 201 cases during 1931. From 1889 and 1931 there were 10,091 civil cases filed with the court. From 1919 to 1931 the total was 21,147 cases, of which 1454 were filed during 1931. Juvenile cases handled by the court during the first 30 years numbered 401 cases. From 1919 to 1931 the total skyrocketed to 1826. Of these 285 were handled last year, more than 70 per cent of the total for the first 30 years. Only 52 cases of inebriacy were filed during the first 30 years of the county's history. But since 1919, the number of inebriacy cases has been 78, of which six were handled during 1931. The annual average was 1.07 during the first 30 years, and 7.01 during the last 11 years. Coppartnership filings totalled 414 during the first 30 years and 1247 during the last eleven years, of which 92 were filed during 1931. Corporation filings numbered 1194 CALIFORNIA Products Day"; Local, Foreign Markets THIS WEEK (Washington) (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The impartial observer in Washington today is seeing some strange sights. The strangest of all is to see Republicans and Democrats repeatedly sinking their partisan differences and actually working together for the public welfare. Of course, each side is looking for political advantage. Leaders of both parties are going to claim credit for whatever may be accomplished in the reduction of the cost of government. That is natural and to be expected. But to an outsider it looks as if all of them were entitled to a great deal of credit for what appears to be a very earnest desire to put the finances of the nation on a sound basis, and to distribute the tax burden where it will do the least injury to the revival of business and industry. There are rabid partisans and violent radicals who get up on their hind legs and protest that whatever is done by the other fellow is wrong just because the other fellow did it. That is what is called "campaign material." Experienced, old-time manipulators of the political machinery, however, say that they don't think the public is fooled as easily as it used to be by blatherskites. There are some of them in both Houses of Congress, but the sober common sense of most of the members in this time of stress is pretty good evidence that the country is in safe hands and that nothing is likely to be done which will really impair the country's economic stability. There are some kinds of people who are very easily scared. The speculators in stocks are the most timid people in the world. Washington has good Government Costs Will Be Studied At Institute "Causes of the Present High Cost of Government" and "Reducing and Controlling Public Expenditures" will be discussed by Dr. Harley L. Lutz of Princeton university when he comes to Los Angeles this summer to lead a taxation section at the fifth annual institute of government to be held at the University of Southern California June 13-17. Prof. Lutz, a former president of the National Tax association, is one of a group of leaders in fields of government who will lecture at the one-week school of public officials. As director of a commission for investigation of county and municipal taxation and expenditures in New Jersey, he is expected to bring to the western coast findings applicable to the tax situation in many localities. He is author of several technical works on taxation; was special adviser to the Washington tax investigation committee in 1922 and a member of the commissions of financial advisers to Chile in 1925 and to Poland in 1926. There are some kinds of people who are very easily scared. The speculators in stocks are the most timid people in the world. Washington has good ground for the belief that the game as played in Wall Street is rigged largely for the purpose of trimming "suckers." The investigation into short-selling on the Stock Exchange, with Richard Whitney, president of the Exchange, as the star witness, did not disclose anything very startling nor was it expected that he would tell anything that wasn't already pretty well known. How far the attempt to regulate the Stock Exchange by law may go, it is difficult to predict, but it is probable that some sort of a gesture in that direction will be made. It seems to be more certain than at any previous time that there is going to be an actual reduction, not merely a paper reduction, in the cost of operating the Federal government. There is going to be some consolidation of departments and bureaus. As this is written it seems very likely that the War and Navy Departments will be consolidated into something that may be, perhaps, called the Department of National Defense, or perhaps merely the War Department. Navy men won't like that. Neither will any of the other public officials, whose jobs will be imperiled or dispensed with, like the idea of being consolidated, reorganized, deprived of their Saturday half holidays, their thirty days annual vacation with pay, and their thirty days annual sick leave with pay, but it is on the cards that all of those things are to be abolished, that there will be material reductions in salaries paid all the way up and down the line, and that a great many thousands in Washington and elsewhere will be chopped off the Federal payrolls. One place where a big cut seems certain to be made is in the Government Printing Office. It would not do the country any harm, wise men here believe, to cut down the annual output of printed matter, a large part of which is pure waste of paper and ink. One of the reforms for which there seems to be considerable hope is to take the Government Printing Office out of competition with local printers in the matter of printing return address cards on government stamped envelopes. This has been a sore spot for many years, an example of absolutely un- Fishermen Urged to Use Bait, Not Flies With opening of the 1932 trout season, May 1, the state fish and game commission received reports from many sections throughout the state relative to fishing conditions. Except in higher elevations most of the favorite trout waters will be ready for the anglers on the opening day, though in some sections below the snow lines fishermen are advised conditions will be better toward the end of May. All reports agree that during the opening days of the season bait will have to be used, as the waters are too cold and full of so much natural food the trout will not be lured by flies. during the period of 1889-1919, and totalled 1698 from 1919 to 1931, with 144 filed during 1931. The records disclosed by County Clerk Backs were based upon 1919 as the dividing line of comparison, because that marked the period he entered office, January 6, 1919. The marked period of development in court activity has been under his administration, It is gradually seeping into the consciousness of the politicians that the United States probably hasn't a Chinaman's chance of collecting any more money from Europe on account of war debts. Nobody suggests, however, that we ought to go to war with any other nation merely to collect money that is owing to us. The time will come when Europe will want some more help from us and we will be in a position to demand a squaring of the old accounts. In the meantime, there probably will be no formal repudiation by Europe, nor any formal cancellation by the United States, but we will have to take care of our own liberty bond. Interest and principal payments out of taxes. For that reason, we can look forward to a big government refunding operation whenever general economic conditions get back to normal. Whatever party may be in power when the next batch of liberty bonds come due, will have to issue new bonds to replace the old, instead of paying them off in cash. Indeed, there are some people here who think part of our present trouble is due to the effort to pay off our war debts too fast. Washington is using a new word to express this idea of increasing currency. We have been going through a process of currency deflation, but nobody likes the word "inflation," so some bright mind coined the word "reflation" and it is on the cards that something will be done to insure a larger volume of currency, by one means or another." Beebes Defendants In Suit Filed Saturday Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Beebe, and their son, Marshall, 19, of this city face a $20,259 damage suit filed by Mrs. Sophia Wampler, of Northern California, who claims she was injured in an automobile accident on Placentia avenue May 20 last year when the car operated by her husband, B. W. Wampler, collided with the machine driven by Marshall Beebe. The suit was filed Saturday in superior court. Mrs. Wampler states she was treated first at the Anaheim sanitarium, then at the Pomona Valley hospital and finally at the Sacramento hospital. fielder, and Orv Mohler, shortstop, will be lost to the team by graduation and prospects are bright for another strong team in 1933.

QUICK-DRYING A new material for bathing suits is made of wool and specially treated by a process which causes it to shed water. Suits made of this material are more comfortable than the old, drying very quickly when a bather emerges from water. DON'T PASS THIS UP!! DON'T PASS THIS UP!!
