Good Tools By GEORGE S.BENSON President of Harding College Searcy, Arkansas MEN used to harvest wheat with a thing called a cradle. A cradle is a museum piece now, most able-bodied farmers never saw one. It is a scythe (blade like Father Time carries) with a wooden frame attached to catch the straws as they fall, so the workman can lay them straight for bundling. Even I can remember seeing farmers cradle patches too small for maneuvering a reaper. Swirting a cradle is hard work. There is almost none of it done these days. But farmers didn't quit using the device for that reason. They still find plenty of hard work to do. The cradle was cast aside because it was inefficient, extravagant. It used to take the profit out of a wheat crop to pay enough men $1 a day to harvest it. But Mr. McCormick's reaper changed all that. Pay Comes SOME people com-By Volume plained about machinery putting men out of work but no machine can do a man's work. Machines serve men, help them earn more by doing a bigger day's work. Today one farmer with good tools produces as much as 30 farmers did 100 years ago. In those days two-thirds of America's laborers worked on farms; now only 18%, and these can overproduce. Machinery, American inventiveness, helps working people. There is no hocus-pocus about it. No straight-thinking person needs any high-brow economist to help him read these three sign-posts: (1) In the long run, people get paid for what they produce. (2) With good tools, which call for investment, they can produce more. (3) Investments in machinery raise the workers' wages. Men vs. SOME men work at a Machines machine's job. Being replaced by a machine may sting some satisfied laborer's pride but he is soon benefitted by learning to manage cold steel rather than compete with it. This is the very first lesson, the A-B-C of American prosperity built on intelligent volume production. Nowhere else on earth can the man who swings a sledge enjoy his own automobile and bathtub. Wages for men are figured by the hour; depreciation on machines by the year. The result is interesting: If two men work eight hours apiece and keep one machine running 16 hours a day, the owner thus doubles his output but does not double his cost. So the owner's margin per unit of sale is wider and he can lower his price without cutting the quality. Result: Wages up, prices down. Workmen's wages go up with production but that same volume lowers the cost of what he needs to make his home as comfortable (his life as abundant) as that of his employer or anybody else. But volume production requires investment in good tools and training for men to use them. When investments are unsafe in America we may well start rehearsing with grandpa's cradle. Turch and Mr. Combs gentlemen have agreed that the committee later owe mine a fair valuation properties in event that shall be favorably corroded a park. The site in the Messrs.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter Century ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago August 28, 1919 C. E. Jones and J. C. Cordes have taken an option on the 19½ acres bounded by Lemon, Sycamore, Palm and Cypress streets, and will offer the site to the city for a public park at valuation of $70,000. Optins upon the entire tract are complete with the exception of the building lots and residences of H. A. Dickel, E. R. Turch and Mr. Comstock. These gentlemen have agreed to meet the committee later on to determine a fair valuation of their properties in event that the tract shall be favorably considered for a park. The site in the opinion of Messrs. Janes and Cordes is most appropriate, and they will urge the city board of trustees to give the tract the considera-tion which it merits. They are of the opinion that the property offers advantages over the library site which they hold is too small. 50 Years Ago August 30, 1894 Saturday was probably the warmest day we ever experienced in Anaheim, the thermomter going to 106 degrees and over in the shade. The day was oppres-sively hot, a desert thunder storm being the immediate cause of the depressing influences of the weather. A hot wind like a breath from a furnace prevailed spasmodically during portions of the day. Sunday and Monday the weather was again oppressively warm, but the thermometer has since subsided, and we are again enjoying our usual balmy weather. As one result of the torrid, wave we have to chronicle the baking of what is at present estimated at twenty-five per cent of the young walnut corp. The walnuts had not yet shed their outer shell and this was cooked by the heat. The loss will be heavy. (More 25 Years Ago) have returned from a two weeks sojourn at the hot springs. Both gentlemen report being greatly benefitted in health. Ray Schumacher, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Schumacher of Fullerton has been discharged from the army and is at home again. He served fourteen months in France. Mrs. G. H. Bailey came up from Long Beach Sunday afternoon and is spending the week with relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hale are spending a vacation at Seven Oaks. (More 50 Years Ago) over from the county seat Tuesday. Cashier Goldwater went over to Terminal island Sunday to take a dip in the briny. Guy Lovering who has been on the sick list for several days with typhoid fever is convalescing. MORE MEDIUM, LIGHT HEAVY TRUCKS SEEK The War Production scheduled the production 705 commercial trucks first quarter of 1945, with 10,894 for the first of this year. The 1945 includes 40,000 medium 13,366 light-heavies, heavy units. No light truck programmed for produce shortages of these are predicted by Governmental officials. The California-Arizona industry is facing rapid ing competition from Texas. In 1920 the two states produced 71 percent crop, in 1930 only 55 percent by 1940 their tonnage peaked to 47 percent of their citrus crop. More than two-thirds forna's 330,000 acres fruits is planted to ornamental landscapes. Turch and Mr. Comstock. These gentlemen have agreed to meet the committee later on to determine a fair valuation of their properties in event that the tract shall be favorably considered for a park. The site in the opinion of Messrs. Janes and Cordes is most appropriate, and they will urge the city board of trustees to give the tract the considera-tion which it merits. They are of the opinion that the property offers advantages over the library site which they hold is too small and too near the business center of the city for park purposes, also that a park should not contain a city hall and jail. They will appear before the board of city trustees and ask favorable consideration of their offer, which in the opinion of many citizens is an ideal site for the purposes intended. Wm. K. Humbert of Phoenix, Arizona, whose family is spending the summer at Long Beach came over last week to spend several days with his mother, wife and baby. He experienced the novelty of flying in an aeroplane while at the beach, and ascended to an altitude of 2,700 feet, he was in the air ten minutes and the trip cost him a dollar a minute. He intended to return to Phoenix on Sunday but on account of the railroad strike was unable to get away. He may decided to make the trip by aeroplane if the strike continues as there are many things on his ranch demanding his immediate attention. George Bauer sold his ranch on East Center street this week to J. B. Mulvey, the consideration being $20,000. The ranch consists of seven acres of oranges and three acres of lemons. Mr. Mulvey also owns a ranch at West Anaheim, consequently he is now both a Westsider and an Eastsider. Mr. Bauer will spend some time at Newport Beach looking after his property interests at the harbor city. Earl Steadman writes from Coblenz that he has had his first swim in the Rhine. The water was cold, he says, but he enjoyed the novelty to the utmost. Earl is with the division of American troops at Coblenz but expects to return home soon. Alfred Pelligrin returned home last week from Europe where he has served in the army during the war. He was on the Rhine with the army of occupation after the signing of the Armistice. Orders for army food by parcel A correspondent from Alamitos writes Saturday was the hottest day ever experienced in this valley in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The air seemed coming from a furnace, and threatened prostration to man and beast. Mrs. E. Snow lost 31 hens and her sister 30. The only remedy in case of a return of a day like Saturday is to keep the chickens in a constant supply of cold water. The hot weather on Sunday sent a large crowd down to the Landing, but the weather there in the forenoon was mucky and the heat oppressing. Later in the day, the temperature became tempered by cooling breezes and a sigh of relief was heard on all sides. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Horr have been spending a few days here. Mrs. Jack Seegar arrived Tuesday to spend a week. Mrs. Nebelung and family have returned home. Frank Porter and family came down Sunday for the day. Dave Rogers of Westminster was down with his family Sunday Mr. and Mrs. E. Browning, Victor Browning and Miss Irene Fleming formed a picnic party at the beach a few days ago. Only seventeen votes were cast at the school bond election last Saturday, the excessively warm weather operating to keep voters away from the polls. All the votes were in favor of the bonds. The following persons have been chosen as the local Advisory Board for the California Children's Home Society: Mrs. T. J. Jones, Mrs. O. F. Heald, Mrs. S. Mauerhan, Mrs. F. Fletcher, Mrs. Photo by TSgt. Louis (Marine Corps Combat Ph) Symbolic of things to come is the shadow cast on the Jap flag by Marine First Lieutenant Nathan R. Smith of Haven, Pa. Seventeen feet long and eleven feet wide, the banner is claimed to be the largest in captivity. Lieutenant is one of three officers who uncovered the flag in an aba-Jap garrison building. Radio Goes Into Railroad Alfred Pelligrin returned home last week from Europe where he has served in the army during the war. He was on the Rhine with the army of occupation after the signing of the Armistice. Orders for army food by parcel post have necessarily been held up by the railroad strike and no man can predict when the service will again be normal. Ben Yorba was in town Tuesday and informed us that he has leased 50 acres of his home ranch at Peralta to a large oil company. Drilling operators are to begin as soon as possible. Mrs. Laura Resh is moving the old cement building on East Center street formerly occupied by the Orange County Dye Works to a lot in the south part of town, and a new garage building will be erected on the site. The home of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Mills was the scene of a wedding when their daughter, Miss Erma Mills was married to John L. Davis. Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland of Santa Monica performed the ceremony. After their return the young couple will reside here. The groom is an employee of the Ford garage. Marcus Andrade is taking a two weeks rest from his labors as a policeman. He left Friday for Elizabeth Lake where he will visit with his aged father. George Dunton is building a $4500 residence in the Zeyn tract. Charles Mann and family are at home again after a two weeks trip to Yosemite, San Francisco and other points in the north. J. S. Howard and A. W. Wood Only seventeen votes were cast at the school bond election last Saturday, the excessively warm weather operating to keep voters away from the polls. All the votes were in favor of the bonds. The following persons have been chosen as the local Advisory Board for the California Children's Home Society: Mrs. T. J. Jones, Mrs. O. F. Heald, Mrs. S. Mauerhan, Mrs. F. Fletcher, Mrs. Seales, Mrs. Minnie Renner, Mrs. J. Ross, Mrs. Goldthwaite, Mrs. Lida Wallop, Messrs. J. W. Keith, A. F. Schnitger, J. E. Mauerhan. The Board will soon be called together and organized, electing a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Ralph Hunter, who makes a specialty of all kinds of painting, house decorating, etc. Ralph is a first class workman and is deserving of a share of the public patronage. Give him a call. Mr. Kirby was in from Peralta on Saturday, during the height of the torrid spell. He informs us that the Peralta school opened for the term last Monday, with Miss Ella Wood as teacher. Miss Wood's sister teaches the school across the river at Yorba. Mr. Kirby informs us that Saturday was the warmest day he ever experienced in California. Uncle Jake Willits, 69 years of age, owner of the racing stallion Silkwood and much other valuable property, secured a license in Los Angeles on Tuesday to wed Mrs. Eureka Rupel, aged 29, who formerly gave writing lessons here. It is said Willits deeded her a tract of valuable property in Los Angeles as a pre-wedding gift. George Bassonette was in town Tuesday arranging for an excursion from Santa Ana to Catalina today. Deputy Clerk Billy Beckett was MORE MEDIUM, LIGHT-HEAVY TRUCKS SEEN The War Production Board has scheduled the production of 56,-705 commercial trucks for the first quarter of 1945, compared with 10,894 for the first quarter of this year. The 1945 schedule includes 40,000 medium trucks, 13,366 light-heavies, and 3,339 heavy units. No light trucks were programmed for production, and acute shortages of these vehicles are predicted by Government officials. The California-Arizona citrus industry is facing rapidly increasing competition from Florida and Texas. In 1920 the two western states produced 71 percent of the crop, in 1930 only 55 percent and by 1940 their tonnage had dropped to 47 percent of the nation's citrus crop. More than two-thirds of California's 330,000 acres in citrus fruits is planted to oranges. BONDS OVER AMERICA Less than 100 people live in Santa Claus, Indiana, but each year the postmaster sends out more than half a million Christmas cards and packages. Nearby is a granite statue of Santa Claus, dedicated to children of the world. Keep On Backing the Attack With War Bonds In the Nazi slave countries of Poland, Greece, Jugo-slavia little children starve to death, the older and stronger ones are sold into slavery where they can live but a few sad years at the most.

Yet while most prices climb steadily higher, the price of electricity remains low. It is an important living cost that has actually gone down instead of up! Edison electric rates have been reduced twice since 1939. That is why, although you use more electricity now than before, your electric dollar goes farther. Gadsen
