The lime is thickly covered with the deadly red scale, a parasite not much larger than the head of a pin, but which is more destructive than any other orchard pest. Mr. Cooke found that nearly all the orchards in Orange which last year harbored this enemy, have been freed from it by the use of white oil-soap sprayed upon the trees. While the spraying is thoroughly done the scale is sure to be exterminated. The services of Prof. W. A. Packard have been secured to give instructions in the rehersal of sacred music each Friday evening for the next three months in the Presbyterian church.

The state board of equalization has fixed the tax levy for 1882 at 59.6 cents on each $100 of assessed valuation. This is divided for the funds as follows. For the general fund 27.3 cents, for the schools 24.3 cents, and for the interest and sinking fund 7.5 cents. The tax levy for 1881 was 65.5 cents. The levy is based upon a property valuation of $582,158,981 — or $51,420,696 less than last year. The assessable property in Los Angeles county this year amounts to $20,916,835 and in 1881 it amounted to $20,203,791. To Anaheim has been awarded the praise of producing the best apricots in the county. In an interview, Mr. Welsh, superintendent of the Los Angeles cannery, said in answer to a question: "The Browning Brothers of Anaheim, who have the best orchard in the county supplied us with a large lot of apricots superior to any we have had.

The richest and most resourceful nation on earth has weathered a worldwide economic storm through sensible adjustment and constructive thought and action. American courage and adaptability have been tried and not found wanting. Industry shows definite signs of recovery. Money is circulating more freely. Employment is increasing. The forward look and step are the order of the day. To quote William L. Chenery, editor of Collier's: "We are now equipped to resume an epochal forward march. We are still the greatest creditor nation on earth. Not only have we greater national wealth and an unprecedented supply of gold, but we are now richer in experience, inventive brains, scientific knowledge, machinery, productive resources, transportation facilities by land, air and water, in every wealth-creating product and process, in craftsmanship, in everything." Yesterday has passed. Let's look forward! OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT TODAY! Nothing in the home means so much and costs so little as Electricity Electricity Bills of 10 Years Ago Would Look Awfully High Today! "Look, John, here's an old bill for electricity the first year we were married!" "Why it's as much as we're paying today, and we didn't have an electric refrigerator, a washer, a radio, or half a dozen of the electrical conveniences we have now!" "Look, John, here's an old bill for electricity the first year we were married!" "Why it's as much as we're paying today, and we didn't have an electric refrigerator, a washer, a radio, or half a dozen of the electrical conveniences we have now!" "No . . . that bill covered lights, mostly . . . but you know Edison rates have been reduced several times since those days, and we're getting lots more service for our money today." Even the humblest home today enjoys electrical advantages that a king's ransom could not have bought ten years ago. Electrical inventive genius developed the electric radio, the electric refrigerator, the modern electric heater. Electrical manufacturing skill produces these devices at a price that brings them easily within the reach of every home, and splendid advances in the generation and distribution of electric current have enabled every home to use these appliances at a cost only slightly greater than was paid for lights alone a decade or so ago. In Edison territory the average electric dollar buys twice as much service as it did in 1921. Edison Lighting Rates Reduced 42% Since 1921 General living costs are well below their high peak of 1921, but they are still 40% higher than in 1914. But Edison lighting rates are 40% lower than in 1914, and since 1921 these rates have been reduced 42%. Your dollar now buys twice as much electricity for all household uses as it did in 1921!
