LIFE BEGINS AT 77 See where our scientists are stumped at the third set of teeth which a 77-year-old woman boasts; she broke a front tooth on a stick of candy, too. Maybe there is something to this second childhood story. THE INDULGENT PUBLIC Congress knows on which side its political bread is buttered, even if President Roosevelt doesn't know the affiliations of his key men. Record set up by the 73rd congress, besides being the largest volume of legislation ever turned out, is remarkable for several other peculiar features. Here are some of particular interest: Senator George W. Norris succeeded in getting the senate to adopt a resolution removing partisan politics from appointments to the home owners' loan corporation. It was defeated in the house. Senator Hugo L. Black, upon getting the names of officials given free rides on the Dollar Steamship lines, introduced a bill making it illegal for public officials to accept free transportation on air mail and ocean lines. It died. No serious effort was made by congressmen to bring their age-old allowance of 15 cents per mile traveled down to a reasonable figure. Even though congressmen remain in Washington between sessions they are entitled to their traveling expenses, which yield them a handsome profit, though used on the most expensive form of transportation.

It died. No serious effort was made by congressmen to bring their age-old allowance of 15 cents per mile traveled down to a reasonable figure. Even though congressmen remain in Washington between sessions they are entitled to their traveling expenses, which yield them a handsome profit, though used on the most expensive form of transportation. One member had the effrontry to propose that wives of members of congress should not be allowed free flowers from the Botanical Gardens, located at the foot of Capitol Hill. The proposal's life was cut short. Although nepotism was under general attack throughout the country as vicious and unfair in times like the present, there was not much done about it, according to no less an authority than Representative Mitchell. Some of these are small things. In the aggregate, however, they amount to a considerable sum and contribute to forces tipping our national budget off balance. But congressmen, like other human beings, do not like to give up practices weasled out of an indulgent public. EXCELLENT ADVICE With Europe in its present state of dangerous ferment let us do three things: Mind our own business, keep our defenses in good order, and turn a deaf ear to alien propaganda no matter what the source. UNCLE SAM IS WORLD'S SANTA CLAUS Because of a dual combination of idealism and keeping our noses to the grindstone so closely that we can not see the ultimate effect of our purely local policies on world speculation, Uncle Sam has become the world's most famous Santa Claus. We did the St. Nicholas act in the "war to end wars"; we fell for a plea to loan monies to "reconstruct" war-torn countries; we even entered the business of giving our private capital away in the form of loans to build up buying power abroad, part of which was spent in America, erecting an artificially-created market which dropped with a deadening thud when our gifts ceased. Thus, our major participation in world affairs proved conclusively that there is a Santa Claus. Now our Brain Trusters are proving it again. Just when AAA crop reductions become effective on wheat and other crops the setting for world-wide profiting is complete. England promptly puts a bonus of $22,500,000 on 76,500 wheat growers — for more wheat, not less as our Brain Trusters decreed. The English method allows the grower to reap the benefits of increased prices brought on by curtailment in the United States. Italy and Germany likewise encourage greater wheat production. Argentina is threatening to kick over the traces on wheat reduction. And so the Brain Trusters are making the farmers pay and the unemployed consumers starve in order that Uncle Sam can play Santa Claus to the rest of the world.

And so the Brain Trusters are making the farmers pay and the unemployed consumers starve in order that Uncle Sam can play Santa Claus to the rest of the world. THE SCARLET WOMAN AGAIN New Deal Brain Trusters seem to regard liberty as the scarlet woman of politics and not the chaste maiden signers of our constitution would have laid down their lives to defend. THESE ROOSEVELTS Theodore Roosevelt started his climb to fame by fighting to eliminate favoritism and spoils from the government payroll. He made the civil service mean something. Throughout his career he stood for efficiency in public office. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal finds civil service too cumbersome, savoring too much of previous administrations. Consequently, he has added 89,000 non-civil service employees to the federal payrolls and virtually wrecked the efficient system his predecessor in the White House built so well. This New Deal policy was left up to Postmaster General Farley, Tammany-trained in the art of rewarding the faithful, who has done a good job for deserving democrats. Likewise, the Farley-picked leader of Tammany now has an opportunity to extend the new federal system to populous New York. So it looks like the non-civil service list will grow like our public debt. BRAIN TRUSTERS, ATTENTION! It is said to be so dry out in Kansas that the grasshoppers are getting hay fever. ALL PROTECTIONISTS? Newspapers have been commenting extensively on the statement recently made by Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, to the effect that we are all now protectionists, the great majority of democrats now supporting the theory of protecting American industries which, without tariffs, would be driven out of existence by cheap competition from abroad. There is undoubtedly a great deal of truth in what Senator Ashurst has to say. The North and the West have always been pretty much protectionist. The South was supposed to be the SCHOOL DAYS — By DWIC NO WONDER IT'S WILD. WILD FLOWER! WAD FLOWER! WILD FLOWER! COME QUICK! HERE'S A WILDFLOWER! A GREAT DISCOVERY ANAHEIM GAZETTE reported that condemning land accord- citadel of free trade, but the development of varied industries in Dixieland, have brought about a great change of sentiment. There are as staunch protectionists to be found in the South today as may be encountered in New England. Perhaps the change in the South has been made easier by the fact that most Southerners are nationalists at heart and to the additional fact that nearly all of the early Southern statesmen, men like Jefferson and Jackson, were advocates of protection. The fact that most of us have come around to accept the principle of protection makes the New Deal plans to increase our foreign trade all the more interesting. The late congress gave the president the right to negotiate tariff treaties with other nations, in an effort to increase our exports, in turn for an increase on the goods brought into the United States. It is said that the administration leaders hope to grant tariff concessions on foreign products that will not injure American industry. This is fine in theory but will be a little difficult to execute in fact. For it must be remembered that all of the commodities which are non-competitive which we import, are now on the free list, with the exception of a few which are classed as luxuries. There can be little effective bargaining with these, because the foreign nations who send us coffee, rubber, spices and other commodities now on the free list know that we have to have them anyhow. When and if it comes to the point of lowering tariff barriers on products which are now manufactured in the United States, somebody is going to get a shock. Then it will indeed be found that Senator Ashurst is right in stating that we are all protectionists. And we are all the more earnestly protectionists when some commodity produced in our own part of the country is threatened by foreign competition. The tariff-bargaining power is the most dangerous instrument, from a political standpoint, that has yet been given to the executive department by congress. The more it is used the more dangerous it will be. History of Anaheim Officially Recorded In Minutes of Anaheim Water Company, Which are Copyrighted, 1932, by Anaheim Gazette, and Printed In Weekly Installments The zanjero reported that a ditch would be necessary from our main ditch through Block No. 5 to Block No. 2. Anaheim extension, to irrigate Mr. Quinn's lands. The secretary was appointed a committee to see Mr. Morton, owner of Block No. 5, about it, and make the necessary arrangements with him. The zanjero stated that all the water as stated on the list has been regularly delivered. The committee on ditch through Block No. 5, reports as follows: Anaheim, March 1, 1879. To The Board of Trustees, Anaheim Union Water Company. Gentlemen: reported that condemning land according to law would take up too great a length of time; they therefore, found it more expedient and engaged L. W. Wicks at a fee of $50 to make the necessary purchases of the land for right of way at the lowest possible rates, and the committee furthermore thought that by next Saturday they would be able to make a final report. One week more time was granted. The following bills were presented and ordered paid, to wit: For work, $26; salary of zanjero, $46; lumber bill. $12.04; Buggetoh, $6. The lumber for our connection flume having arrived, the secretary was instructed to advertise for bids for the carpenter work and for the hauling of the lumber. Bids to be received by the secretary up to Wednesday, March 12, 1879, at 1 o'clock p.m. Capt. G. C. Knox was engaged to level the lands, set the stakes, and have the lands cleared off, necessary for the connection. The secretary reported having a postal card received from Mr. Hall, stating that J. W. Shanklin would be back from Washington by the middle of March, and we could either deposit the interest due in the Anaheim bank or wait his return. The zanjero was instructed to fix the flume running from H-1 to Mr. Sheffield's land, and have a ditch made through the middle of the land to bring the water to Mr. Langenberger's. Water sold, $47. No more business, the meeting adjourned. John Fischer, Secretary. Town Hall, March 8, 1879. Meeting of the board of trustees of the Anaheim Water company. Pres. Theo. Reiser in the chair; all members present. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. The zanjero reported that the water was regularly delivered, and also stated that the ditch by Mr. Greeley's is nearly finished. The ditch through Mr. Sheffield's land is also completed and the flume repaired. Bill for work on ditch, $33.38; Warterberg, $4, ordered paid.

Anaheim extension, to irrigate Mr. Quinn's lands. The secretary was appointed a committee to see Mr. Morton, owner of Block No. 5, about it, and make the necessary arrangements with him. Theo. Reiser recommended that an agreement be made with Mr. J. Kraemer to give him 20 shares paid up stock for his (Kraemer's) water privileges, provided however, he subscribes for 50 more shares and agrees to keep his connection ditch in order at his own cost. The recommendation was accepted and the president and secretary impowered to make a written agreement with Mr. Kraemer to that effect. J. W. Clark petitioned on account of having an interest in the Cajon ditch He wishes to use a part of our ditch to bring the Cajon water through it to facilitate the irrigation of his lands. This petition was declined. Mr. Clark also stated that whereas a portion of our ditch runs through his lands, he would be willing to keep that part in good order, provided however, the Anaheim Water company would allow him some kind of renumeration for it. Resolved, to appoint a committee of two who in connection with Mr. Knox should investigate this matter and report at the next meeting. The same committee was also instructed to look after the necessary ditch to bring the water to J. W. Quinn's land. Messrs. Langenberger and Korn were appointed on this committee. Water sold, $57. No other business, the meeting adjourned. John Fischer, Secretary. Town Hall, March 1, 1879. Meeting of the board of trustees of the Anaheim Water company. Pres. Theo. Reiser in the chair; all members present. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. The zanjero stated that all the water as stated on the list has been regularly delivered. The committee on ditch through Block No. 5, reports as follows: Anaheim, March 1, 1879. To The Board of Trustees, Anaheim Union Water Company. Gentlemen: Your committee appointed to make arrangements with Mr. Morton about making a ditch through his land for the purpose of bringing water to Block 2, beg leave to report as follows: That in connection with the president and zanjero, we agreed to allow Mr. Morton $20 credit on the books of the company for a right of way for a ditch through Block No. 5. Your committee considered this the most profitable arrangement, that could be made for the company, as we save the making and keeping in order of about 15 chains of ditch, and in addition about 15 minutes time in delivering the water to the corner of Block 2, at each irrigation. Respectfully yours, John Fischer, Committee. The report was accepted and placed on file. The committee on petition of Mr. Clark, reported through Mr. Knox, engineer that a ditch around the corner of the Cajon land could be made with comparatively little expense. It was therefore resolved: That the zanjero be instructed to make this ditch. The committee on a ditch to J. M. Quinn's land reported that William Kelley objected to having a ditch run down on the boundary line of his land, but as it appeared that the ditch could not be made otherwise without crossing the street twice, Mr. Kelley's objection was overruled and the zanjero ordered to make a ditch on the south side of the street between Mr. Kelley's land and the Grange Store. The committee on right of way for our connection with the Cajon ditch Meeting of the board of trustees of the Anaheim Water company. Pres. Theo. Reiser in the chair; all members present. Minutes of previous meeting read and approved. The zanjero reported that the water was regularly delivered, and also stated that the ditch by Mr. Greeley's is nearly finished. The ditch through Mr. Sheffield's land is also completed and the flume repaired. Bill for work on ditch.$33.38; Warterberg,$4, ordered paid. The committee on right of way for a connection flume reported that the right has been secured at a total cost of $375. Report received and committee discharged. Mr. Knox stated that the maps and specifications are in the hands of the secretary and that all clearing and conveying could be finished the first part of next week. J. W. Clark brought in a petition which was laid on the table. The treasurer was instructed to pay A. Guy Smith the sum of one thousand dollars next Monday, if not enough cash on hand, to draw on the Anaheim Bank for the balance. Resolved, to engage teams and excavate the ground as soon as possible. Water sold,$56. No more business, the meeting adjourned until Wednesday, the 12th inst., for opening the bids for hauling the lumber and the construction of the flume. John Fischer, Secretary. OBSERVATIONS ALL WASHED UP The beeg fella has his bag all packed and will go back to epigetteville next Sunday. CANT YOU DO SOMETHING! This country is an exporting nation and 90 per cent of the industries here need protection. This reciprocal trade relation proposition sounds like a lot of boloney. EASY AS FALLING-OFF A LOG If they would stop taxing land, and would exact a sale tax from what the land produces, everything would be honkey dorie. HOUSE OF CARDS The Old Age Pensions has some good angles to it and yet and still there are others that are not so good. Food-stuffs and other necessaries of life would skyrocket over night and the profiteer would ewing into action. During those happy prohibition days remember how they hijacked a booze wagon. Imagine a racketeer putting a truck load of potatoes on the spot, or scooping up a coop of ham and eggs. TOP HEAVY The reason so many illis beset this country is because the governments—national, state and municipal—are too expensively operated. Deduct, mister, deduct! GET IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR Get back to the land, buddy, and you wont have to go on strike to get something that you are only fishing for. MARKING TIME If you try to tell the big feller how to run his business, 10 to 1 he will not lend you an ear and he goes into retirement. And by heck the little feller holds the sack.
