These figures represent a decrease of 79,032 or 7.5 per cent. There was a decrease of 5.9 per cent from 1930 to 1931. During the year 1932, there were 160,329 divorces granted in the United States, as compared with 183,664 in 1931, representing a decrease of 23,335 or 12.7 per cent, as against a decrease of 4.1 per cent from 1930 to 1931. There were 3,900 marriages annulled in 1932, as compared with 4,339 in 1931. The estimated population of continental United States on July 1, 1932, was 124,822,000, and on July 1, 1931, was 124,070,000. On the basis of these estimates, the number of marriages per 1,000 of the population was 7.9 per cent in 1932, as against 8.5 in 1931; and the number of divorces per 1,000 of the population was 1.28 in 1932, as against 1.48 in 1931. While the net decrease in the number of marriages performed in the country as a whole was 7.5 per cent, the relative change in the different States ranged from a decrease of 43.5 per cent in Iowa to an increase of 6.6 per cent in Nebraska. (Only 10 States reported increased rates—Missouri, 3.5 per cent; South Dakota, 2.7 per cent; Nebraska, 6.6 per cent; West Virginia, 1.7 per cent; Mississippi, 5.1 per cent; Arkansas, 5.2 per cent; Oklahoma, less than one-tenth of 1 per cent; New Mexico, 6 per cent; Arizona, nine-tenths of 1 per cent; and Utah, five-tenths of 1 per cent. All 10 States adjoin those in which recent changes made in the marriage laws require from 3 to 5 days to elapse between the application for a marriage license an dthe issuance of the same. Missouri, South Dakota, and Nebraska, adjoin Iowa where the law changed June 1, 1931; and South Dakota further borders Minnesota where the restrictions began April 29, 1931. Missouri, Mississippi and Arkansas border Tennessee. Rotarians Hear All About Our Oranges Manager A. H. Kirchmann of the Central Orange County Citrus exchange, as program chairman at Monday's luncheon meeting of the Anaheim Rotarians at the Elks club, introduced Assistant Advertising Manager Russell Eller of the California Fruit Growers exchange, who exhibited a talkie depicting the orange industry.

The club will not meet Monday noon, convening instead that evening in joint program sponsored by the 20-30 club. Tri-County Fair Opens Sept. 15 Expect 12,000 Exhibitors To Enter in Big Pomona Show Presented again this year as a hug tri-counties exposition including River side and Orange counties—the twelfth annual Los Angeles county fair in Pomona September 15 to 24 will offer Farm Federation Pushes Tax Plan When the legislature reconvened last Monday to act on the Riley-Stewart plan which was approved at the special election June 27, the California farm bureau federation was prepared to push a definite program of tax legislation. The high-spots of the farm bureau's legislative program are: (1) the adoption of an income tax; (2) in event of a sales tax the exemption of machinery, materials and supplies used by agriculture and industry; (3) if a surcharge is adopted on the consumption of gas and electricity, the exemption from such surcharge of all gas and electricity used for power or commercial purposes.

To take care of the $125,000,000 deficit the state is now facing the farm bureau believes that under its suggested program the following additional sources of revenue can be produced: Personal net income tax $15,000,000 Inheritance tax amendments 1,500,000 Retail sales tax at 3 percent 95,039,000 Consumers surcharge on gas and electric and telephone and telegraph service 10,000,000 One dollar increase in charge for auto license plates 4,000,000 Total additional source of revenue $125,539,000 "The findings of our research department convince me that the income tax will not yield a revenue sufficient to meet the budgeted and special appropriation expenditures of the state," R. W. Blackburn, president of the farm bureau in a statement just issued. "If we are to avoid the levy of a state ad valorem tax and a general fund deficit we shall have to concede the adoption of less equitable taxes, such as those we listed in our program. A retail sales tax, unless agriculture and industry are given exemption along the lines we have indicated, would work to the disadvantage of California's products in competition with those of other states where such taxes do not exist. The same principal is involved in the proposed surcharge on the consumption of gas and electricity." Thieves Take 100 Chickens Sunday One hundred chickens, 60 fryers and 40 hens, were reported stolen Sunday from F. E. Sefton, Anaheim R. F. D., Box 18. Bigger and better than ever, the Junior fair extends a splendid opportunity to the young people to show in some 500 different classifications of livestock, agricultural products, poultry, rabbits, pigeons and project work. Seventy classes are listed for the brilliant night horse show which will be staged for seven of the ten nights of the fair and there will be between 400 and 500 harness and running horses to participate in the 13 racing programs. 17 Herds Tested By Farm Bureau 1191 Cows Averaged 1024 Lbs. of Milk and 40.9 Lbs. of Butterfat In June There were 17 herds tested in June by L.

H. SUTHERLAND, M. D. We are better for getting away from our jobs once in a while. The best antidote for mental and physical dullness, providing the latter is not caused by a definite illness, is to be found in a vacation that offers a change in environment, away from accustomed work and surroundings. Such a vacation usually serves to develop in us a new appreciation of our home and job. Rest, recuperation and the storing up of new energy is the real purpose of a vacation. With this thought in mind, the American Public Health association has recently released a series of "Don'ts" for vacationists. The article follows: How to Spoll Your Vacation Speed is important: Whatever you do, rush! Wear dark, heavy clothing; it absorbs the heat and is bound to make you cross and uncomfortable. Worry a lot every day about your work and the folks back home. Take all the baggage you can collect; carrying bags is good exercise and you can spend your spare time looking for what gets lost. Be sure to rock the boat; a practical joker is always popular. Eat rich, heavy foods with lots of meats, fats and sweets. Your stomach is a lazy burn, keep it busy. Try to get a nice sunburn all in the first day. You will! Don’t bother to sleep; it’s a waste of time. Pity the mosquitoes; they must bite somebody, let it be you. Go without a hat—especially if you are not used to it; sunstroke is seldom fatal and will only lay you up for a few days. Drink the water from any old spring or brook; take a chance. Play's the thing; never stop until you drop from exhausting; your heart's as sound as when you were a child—much more. Conference Sends Roosevelt Paryers The Southern California District Lutheran church, closing its convention at Orange Sunday, ordered the following message sent to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt: “That we are including him in our prayers and suplications, asking the Lord to lead and guide him in matters of state.” The following officers were elected: Rev. E. H. Kreidl of Olive, William Batterman of St. John's church, Orange; Henry Franzen of Riverside, board of indigent students; Rev. R.

Predicts Light Crop of Walnuts Local walnut groves will produce but three-fifths of their output for last year. Secretary-manager Walter Ross of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' association, states. The set for local walnuts was not Edwards, Craig and Utt In Harmony On One Plan; Utt Likes Professional Levy Orange county's three legislators are in favor of the general sales tax, without exemptions, while at least one, James B. Utt of the 74th assembly district, wants to see a tax on stock transfers and on professional services, radio and billboard advertising. These were the opinions expressed on the eve of the departure of Senator Nelson T. Edwards and Assemblyman Utt Saturday for Sacramento where they attended the opening session of the legislature Monday, Assemblyman Edward (Ted) Craig left earlier in the week, but his opinion on the sales tax is understood to be in harmony with the ideas expressed by his fellow Orange county legislators. Senator Edwards favors a general sales tax, which would cover all merchandise, necessities as well as luxuries; as the most practical method of raising the money necessary under the Riley-Stewart plan. He said that an income tax would fail to bring desired revenue, largely because of reduced incomes and the large number of people who have no income at all. Assemblyman Utt likes the general sales tax with no exceptions, but dislikes a tax on incomes. He favors a professional tax that would include services rendered by doctors, attorneys and other professional men and women. Another form of taxation he advocates is on stock sold in California and transferred outside the state. He believes that such a tax would result in establishment of transfer offices in California, and keeping money in the state. Nebraskans Will Picnic On July 29 Nebraskans are invited to the annual state society picnic to be held Saturday, July 29, at Bixby park, Long Beach. County registers will assist persons in meeting old acquaintances. It will be a picnic basket affair, with coffee furnished. Provisions For Processing Told Bureau Explains Methods by Which Wheat Tax To Aid Farmers Will Be Worked The bureau of internal revenue released the following statement with respect to taxes imposed on wheat products: Bureau Explains Methods by Which Wheat Tax To Aid Farmers Will Be Worked The bureau of internal revenue released the following statement with respect to taxes imposed on wheat products: "Under the agricultural adjustment act by proclamation of the secretary of agriculture and regulations issued by him and approved by the president, a processing tax on the first domestic processing of wheat becomes effective at the first moment of July 9, 1933. Effective at the same time, compensating taxes are imposed upon all importations made on and after that date of articles processed wholly or in chief value from wheat." "Taxes are also imposed on floor stocks of articles processed wholly or in chief value from wheat, held for sale or other disposition on July 9, 1933, except separate retail stocks. Articles processed wholly or in chief value from wheat include flour, cereal preparations made chiefly from wheat, bread, crackers, pretzels, macaroni and spaghetti and noodles." Such articles held for sale or other disposition on the effective date by millers, wholesalers and jobbers are taxable. All flour owned by bakers, macaroni manufacturers, hotels, restaurants and other establishments who bake for sale any products whose ingredient of chief value is wheat or processed from wheat is taxable. Retail dealers will not be required to pay tax on separate retail stocks of flour, macaroni, breakfast foods, bread, ets., which are sold to consumers within 30 days from July 9, 1933, but all retail stocks held on July 9, 1933, which are still on hand at the end of 30 days from that date are taxable in the hands of the retailer. "The enforcement of the floor tax provisions of the act will require returns from approximately 35,000 bakers, between 400,000 and 500,000 retailers and about 4,000 millers."

Fortunately for us, here in California one may combine fresh experiences and new sights with rest, and at very little cost. Suppose you go to the Monterey country. A day, or less, and you are there. You might take a cottage in Sanita Cruz or quaint Carmel, or stop at the great Hotel Del Monte, with its 20,000-acre playground, at the lowest cost ever. In the Monterey country you will live surrounded by the enchantment of early-California scenes. Old Monterey, our first capital, preserves much of its early atmosphere and romance. The ancient Custom House, Robert Louis Stevenson's old home and other noted landmarks take you back to early days. You'll play in new settings. A morning of leisurely golf at famous Pebble Beach. Possibly a ride among the fantastic-shaped cypress trees, along bridle paths that border the scenic 17-mile drive. Afternoon finds you lazying on clean white sand at the shore. In many other California beauty spots you'll discover this sort of recreation. In the keen air by a "sea in the sky"—Tahoe. In the inspiration of Yosemite Valley. Among the shaggy giants of the Redwood Empire. Beside high Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta.
