FIRST INSTALLMENT Even before she opened her eyes, Joyce was aware of being in a strange place. For the moment, however, she was still too drowsy to make any effort to move. A dull ache throbbed in her head. Her whole body felt heavy, welled down by an insistent lassitude. Then other sensations asserted themselves. Her fingers, moving languidly sent to her drowsy brain the message of some sort of cool silken material under their sensitive tips. She kept her eyes shut while she tried things out. She remembered perfectly now. She was in a taxi going to the Hotel Blackstone in Chicago. It was sleeting, and in the traffic another machine skidded suddenly and crashed into them. And then they had brought her—where? It didn't smell in the least like a hospital. And the bed was softer than any cot she had ever felt. Suddenly she was afraid to open her eyes. Completely awake now, she lay tingling with curiosity, filled at the same time with a foreboding of some strange, frightening revelation to come. Where could she be? At last she could stand the uncertainty no longer. Without moving she opened her eyes and stared straight ahead of her. Her first look showed a cluster of large oranges hanging like A look of relief came into the face above her. "Whew, but you gave me a scare. Frills," he exclaimed. "Sure you're all right? Doe's coming over today to take another look at you. Better stay in bed and get a rest. If you're really all right, I've got to dash to the city to get my train for Chicago. But I won't go if you're not. You don't seem just right." "Oh, no, really, I'm all right," she said hastily. "I just have a headache. It'll be all right." "You're sure? . . . Good! . . . Well, good-bye, honey. Take care of yourself. You can always reach me at the Blackstone, you know. I'll expect to hear from you." He leaned over, took her face between his large firm hands and kissed her. After he had kissed her twice, while Joyce tried furiously to recall the blush she felt burning her face, he added, hesitatingly, "Look here, Frills, I wish you'd . . . go a little easy while I'm away, will you. I'll be worried about you all the time if I think you're . . . pulling any more reckless stunts, you know. And—" "Oh, no, don't worry about me!" interrupted Joyce, wishing he would stop the right giving a glimpse full of clothes . . . at an open door into a spacious bathroom." Suddenly, as she stood the threshold, feeling entering some one else caught sight of a girl with hair, clad in a delectable suit. With a gasp she realized it was her own in one of the two full which flanked the dress. Well! . . . She me close to the mirror and self with interest. Faced amined her face more cured suddenly with pleasure the image in the glass really a whole lot . . . p ever did in Philadelphia The bathroom was an discovery. It was a large elaborately tiled, with modern fittings and gasped with pleasure as through the big open left, the sun was streaming with it that indescriba which had greeted Joycing. Part of it must ce It didn't smell in the least like a hospital. And the bed was softer than any cot she had ever felt. Suddenly she was afraid to open her eyes. Completely awake now, she lay tingling with curiosity, filled at the same time with a foreboding of some strange, frightening revelation to come. Where could she be? At last she could stand the uncertainty no longer. Without moving she opened her eyes and stared straight ahead of her. Her first look showed a cluster of large oranges hanging like golden balls in the sunshine against a background of cloudless blue sky. Oranges! She had never seen oranges actually growing. Still without moving she rolled her eyes from one side to the other. They traveled up the bed to her hands, lying inert on the eatin cover. Suddenly she became aware of three separate facts so startling in their significance that they set her heart to pumping and paralyzed her muscles. She could never tell which shock was the first to register; the circle of tiny diamonds on the third finger of her left hand; the rumpled condition of the other side of the bed; or the cheerful masculine whistle coming from somewhere in the house close behind her! A hot wave flooded, her face and neck. But gradually her heart quieted down. She relaxed a trifle, breathed deeply, and tried to bring her whirling brain back to normal. "It's the most incredible thing I ever . . . ever heard!" she thought desperately, fighting against a feeling of faintness. "It must be a dream! . . . I land in Chicago in November on a dark, cold, snowy afternoon; get in a taxi and . . . I wake up the next morning and find that it's summertime, and that . . . I'm . . . I'm married! How could it have happened? How—?" The whistle seemed to come a little nearer. Joyce clutched at the bedclothes in a suddenly renewed panic of terror. If it were not a dream now, this instant, then what had happened while she was unconscious? Suddenly a telephone bell rang. The whistling stopped abruptly. She heard the click of the receiver being lifted . . . then "Yes?" in a deep, pleasant voice. She listened tensely. "Oh, Laurine! Hello! . . . She's still asleep, I think. No. Doc says it's nothing serious, but it sure was lucky it wasn't worse. . . Yes, you're absolutely right—What? . . . Well, I asked her last month not to ride that brute, but you know how she is. . . I'm leaving in a few minutes. . . Yes. Got to get to Chicago for a conference. . . Come over sometime today and see how she is, will you? I hate to go off like this but I'm just going to have time to make the date. It's something I can't step-steep. . . Yeah? Well, tell Paul to be a good boy while I'm away. So long, I wish you'd . . . go a little easy while I'm away, will you. I'll be worried about you all the time if I think you're . . pulling any more reckless stunts, you know. And—" "Oh, no, don't worry about me!" interrupted Joyce, wishing he would stop kissing her and go away, "I won't do a thing. I . . . I know I'm going to feel like being very quiet for . . . for awhile." This sort of answer was evidently unexpected, Joyce decided, when she saw the surprise in his face mingled with relief. In speaking before, his voice had revealed a note of apprehension, as if he were afraid of the way his words would be received. "What sort of disposition can I have had?" she wondered. "Well, good-bye, honey," he said once more, and kissing her again, he stood up. "I've got to hop off. I'll wire today from somewhere along the line." Joyce lay and listened to his steps receding inside the house. Then she drew a long breath and sat up suddenly. "So that's my . . . my husband. He has a very nice voice, and I don't feel exactly afraid of him. I think he's got a—a kind, pleasant look on his face. . . Her thoughts paused in confusion. What did it mean? Gradually her sense of dizzy panic gave way to puzzled curiosity. Lying there in the sweet scented sunshine her mind grew clearer and she tried to fathom the situation unemotionally. But it was no use; the pieces didn't fit; acres of trees in bloom enclosed part of it from the edge of the orange tree. In spite of the mysteries she met, it was impossible year-long diet of Mrs. inghouse, for Joyce no longer of pleasure at finding lovely surroundings. Of sheer excitement, she bathroom and pushed door which she noticed slightly ajar. "Oh? His . . . his own suppose," she murmured the threshold. She crossed to the dresser it a large photograph in Her own face smiled out. It was her own; it nevertheless, that she sat at her double. "Of touched a lot, and the pearls and the even difference. But I ..... there's something sophisticated and darling it doesn't look like me Ashton. ....." Oh, Laurine! Hello. She's still asleep, I think. No. Doc says it's nothing serious, but it sure was lucky it wasn't worse. Yes, you're absolutely right—What? Well, I asked her last month not to ride that brute, but you know how she is. I'm leaving in a few minutes. Yes. Got to get to Chicago for a conference. Come over sometime today and see how she is, will you? I hate to go off like this but I'm just going to have time to make the date. It's something I can't side-step. Yeah? Well, tell Paul to be a good boy while I'm away. So long, Laurine. See you all in 'bout two-three weeks." Click. Steps across the floor. The sound of steps approaching the bed sent her pulses hammering. Curiosity and fear mingled in her feelings as she looked up. She was so frightened that it did not occur to her to pretend to be asleep. She saw a man of medium height... thirtyish... ruddy... blue eyes and blue tie... tan face and tan suit... light brown hair, combed back smoothly... face rather wide across the jaw... short nose... mouth cut in clean curves like a girl's... Nothing villainous in the man's appearance. "Hello, honey! How do you feel this morning?" He was smiling down at here with complete kindness. 'Joyce swallowed hard, unable to answer. Under the sheet she clenched her hands trying to still the trembling of her body. A worried look dimmed the smile on the man's face. He sat down on the side of the bed and leaned toward her, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Why, what's the matter, dear? Head pretty bad? Oh, I say, did I hurt you? You poor kid!" He drew-back a little. Joyce had involuntarily flinched when his hands touched her. The thought flashed into Joyce's confused mind that if he fancied she were really ill, he might after all not go away. And she must have time to recover from the shock and decide what to do. She must be left alone. She would have to speak; everything depended on her making this effort. "Oh, I'm... I'm all right," she stammered hardly above a whisper. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Fertilizer Sales Show Small Loss State Farmers Keeping Soil Ready for Improvement Market Possibilities Evidence that California's agriculture is keeping itself in trim for any future eventuality, particularly the possibility of improved markets, is supplied by the annual report on the sale of soil stimulants, made by the division of chemistry of the state department of agriculture. The report shows that in 1933 there was but a six percent decrease in such sales from the 1931 totals. As the returns for the last quarter of 1932 were incomplete at the time the report was drawn up, it is possible that this small margin will be further decreased by including the sale of an additional two or three thousand tons. The records of the division show that the sale of soil stimulants fell off as much as 60 or 65 percent in other sections of the country during the period covered in the report. The reasons are given by the department for California's good showing in this regard. The first is the fact that the growers of California control the quality of the fertilizer products through the appropriate state agencies and therefore, assured that they were getting a uniformly high grade of product, have not hesitated to buy it in substantial amounts. It is noted that fertilizer sales dropped sharply in other sections where such control is not exercised, the growers figuring that on account of the financial stringency the non-controlled fertilizers should be among the first items sacrificed. The second reason is the large number of small land holders in California, who apparently have determined to keep their lands in first class condition. Fertilizer Sales for 1931 were 132,349 tons and for 1932, 124,446 tons, with some of the returns for the last place for Sluggards "There's no place in 4-H club work for boys and girls who do not want to do things and go places," remarks C. B. Wadleigh, state club leader of New Hampshire in concluding his annual report on the past year's activities. Club work is being carried on in practically every farming community in the state and in such an efficient manner that members miss a few of the fine advantages which are offered in the club year. Foremost of those enjoyed by New Hampshire club members were being named delegates to the Madison Square Garden poultry show in New York City, to the National Club Congress in Chicago, and the national camp in Washington, D. C. More than 500 members attended the state Camp Carlisle. Most of them went as official delegates and had their expenses paid from funds raised by club entertainments and other cooperative methods. Local events were numerous. More than 6,500 local 4-H meetings were held with a total attendance of nearly 60,000 boys and girls. There were 385 different county events and programs held an attendance of over 14,000. Nearly 200 programs celebrating the 4-H achievements of the year were attended by more than 10,000 persons. Over 4,000 club members exhibited their products at county and state events. Several hundred members took part in contests and demonstrations and won trips to different events in the state, and also to Boston and Springfield, Mass.

In spite of the mystery, in spite of the complications she was about to meet, it was impossible, after a two-year-long diet of Mrs. Lowrie's boarding house, for Joyce not to feel a thrill of pleasure at finding herself in these lovely surroundings. With a little hop of sheer excitement, she crossed the big bathroom and pushed open another door which she noticed stood just slightly ajar. "Oh? His . . . his dressing room, I suppose," she murmured, hesitating on the threshold. She entered shyly, crossed to the dresser, and took from it a large photograph in a heavy frame. Her own face smiled out at her. It was her own; but Joyce felt, nevertheless, that she must be looking at her double. "Of course, it's retouched a lot, and the shorn hair and the pearls and the evening gown make a difference. But I . . . don't know there's something so assured and sophisticated and daring about it that it doesn't look like me, not like Joyce Ashton."

M. of said day, at the South entrance to the Orange County Court House, in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, the BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, (the successor to all the rights, powers and duties of the First National Bank of Anaheim), a corporation, of Anaheim, California, organized and existing at the time of the execution of the deed of trust hereinafter referred to) as Trustee under a certain deed of trust executed by CLIFFORD H. YONKER and SOPHIA A YONKER, husband and wife, and recorded on November 27, 1929, in Book 325, page 399, Official Records of Orange County, California, which was given to secure a promissory note for the sum of $2500.00 with interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum, principal and interest payable in monthly installments of $29.20 each, on the first day of each and every month, beginning July 1, 1929, in accordance with the terms of said deed of trust, and in compliance with a notice of default and demand for sale of the property in the said deed of trust, and hereinafter described, recorded on November 25, 1932, in Book 589, page 9, Official Records of Orange County, California, executed by the owner and holder of said note on substantial amounts. It is noted that fertilizer sales dropped sharply in other sections where such control is not exercised, the growers figuring that on account of the financial stringency the non-controlled fertilizers should be among the first items sacrificed. The second reason is the large number of small land holders in California, who apparently have determined to keep their lands in first class condition. The fertilizer sales for 1931 were 132,349 tons and for 1932, 124,446 tons, with some of the returns for the last quarter of 1932 still missing. The heaviest sale in 1932 was of mixed goods, with fish meal, sulphate of ammonia and packing house tankage coming second, third and fourth, respectively. Sunkist Trail Is Proving Popular Travel over the Sunkist Trail from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Arizona, by way of Mecca and Blythe, is greatly increasing, reports indicate. The route is in good condition. Oil surfacing under way from the Colorado River bridge to a point five miles east is near completion. COUNTY Had 30 4-H Clubs You couldn't go very far in Tippecanoe county. Indiana, without bumping into a 4-H club member. There were 936 boys and girls enrolled in 30 regularly organized clubs last year. That is two or better to the township. And when it comes to results, they can show them too. Twelve of the girls' clubs were in the 100 percent class of finishers. Every member of these clubs completed her projects in satisfactory shape. For some reason it was an off year for the boys, as only two clubs made perfect records. They did have a high average, however, and did their share to give the county a score of 93.5 per cent in completions. The state average is 85.3, which is rated good. There were 1,180 projects completed in the year. Girls went strong to clothing projects. 332 completing them. Boys went strong to pigs. 190 making completions of their projects. Both boys and girls are carrying on well balanced programs in their projects, and going in strong for demonstrations and exhibits. At the county fair last year nearly 800 club members entered exhibits, which totaled 974. Forty teams took part in judging contests. 16 in demonstrations. 33 girls were in the dress revue contest. The boys' livestock judging contest drew 62 contestants. There were 161 exhibits sent to the state fair by 99 club members, and they won a stack of prizes, too. They have an annual club camp at an old Indian battle ground, and it's ambition of every club member to attend. Four members won trips to the National Club Congress. Five of the older girls' clubs won trips to the state fair school. One girl won a $100 scholarship. A boy won national championship in the Thomas E. Wilson meat animal contest and a $300 agricultural college scholarship, and five 4-year scholarships were awarded to Purdue University. Folks in Tippecanoe county believe if a thing is worth doing it's worth doing well, so they have a county club agent, J. C. Ralston, who has been so successful as a leader he has just about everybody in the county who can help in club work enrolled on his staff. This includes farm folks, school teachers, vocational instructors, business men, and many others. Four-H club work is easily the biggest youth movement of any kind in the country. Her own face smiled out at her. It was her own; but Joyce felt, nevertheless, that she must be looking at her double. "Of course, it's retouched a lot, and the shorn hair and the pearls and the evening gown make a difference. But I don't know there's something so assured and sophisticated and daring about it that it doesn't look like me, not like Joyce Ashton."

Officers Watching Traffic Signaling Southern California traffic officers are stressing proper signalling with arrests being made where incorrect signals are given. The law requires that when making a left turn, the vehicle must be driven in the line of traffic closest to and just to the right of the center of the street, and that for the last 50 feet before turning, signal must be given. In turning left, the driver's arm—and all of it—must be extended horizontally, so that it is straight out and parallel to the ground. In turning right, the vehicle must be driven in the line of traffic closest the curb, or to the extreme side of the street. Signal must also be given continuously for the last 50 feet before turning. This signal also requires the entire hand and arm for lawful execution. The arm must be extended out and upward and beyond the left side of the vehicle. An improper signal is more dangerous than no signal at all, for in hurried traffic others rely on signals given and when an erroneous signal is given, accidents are likely to result. The fact that a signal has been given does not give the motorist right of way over others. The law requires that before starting, stopping or turning, the driver must first see that the movement can be made in safety.

Dated February 27, 1933. BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION By R. D. FULLER, Assistant Vice-President. And W. DALE BELL, Assistant Trust Officer. (Successor to The First National Bank of Anaheim, a corporation, of Anaheim California). 3, 2-9-16-23, 33 PRECAUTIONS NEEDED In winter weather I see many people, old and young, making hurried little trips without sufficient protection against cold. A housewife will drop her kitchen things, and rush down to the bakery for something needed for dinner; she hasn't time to put on a wrap—and it's only a short space—three blocks. So she whizzes out bareheaded, and with short sleeves used for warm housewear. She may have been perspiring just the least bit—but that's nothing; she has done the same thing a thousand times. But—she encounters a keen northeast wind—just a little damp as she turns the corner coming back; it produces a shiver up and down her spine. She hurries in with her purchase—does not perspire any more that day. The deed has been done. At bedtime she notices a slight sore throat, with a tickling short, dry cough. Unless she sets in to work to break it up, she may have it hang on for a week! All because of that hasty trip to the bakery, without proper protection. This letter is to tell you some little things worth while. You must throw on a wrap when going out into sharp cold, no matter how short the trip contemplated. This applies to men as well as to women or children. Keep the surface of the body warm—that's the law of safety. I know we used to "tear around" with impunity, but we can't do it now. We have hotter houses and thinner clothing than we once provided. We are not pioneer settlers any more, and hardened to the climate. Careful attention to the simple advice here may prevent a serious illness; I hope so. THE GAZETTE FOR GOOD JOB PRINTING A.B.C.
