State’s Farmers Own Two Dollars For One of Debt California farmers have employed wartime incomes to increase their financial assets and reduce their overall debt to the point where they have two dollars in financial assets to every dollar they owe. They have reduced their debts 17 per cent, according to Arthur Shultis, specialist in farm management of the agricultural extension service, in reporting to the local farm advisor's office. For the nation as a whole, farmers have reduced their debts 20 per cent and increased their financial assets more than three-fold, giving them greater resources than ever to meet their reconversion problems. California farmers have exceeded the national average in the reduction of loans by the principal creditors. The national average in such reductions was 4 per cent, compared with 6.9 per cent in California. Shultis says California farmers have reduced such indebtedness by $6,400,000. Shultis quotes figures of the bureau of agricultural economics of the U.S. department of agriculture showing farm populations at the beginning of this year had accumulated nearly $17,000,-000,000 in financial resources which included demand and time deposits, currency, U.S. savings bonds, receipts on crops stored in warehouses and investments in cooperatives. Throws Feather Almost 50 Yards A hundred thirty-eight feet and eight inches is "a right smart piece." If you think it isn't, just measure it off, then step back and have a look. Try throwing a rock that far. Not impossible, of course. But just imagine heaving a little tuft of feathers that distance. Renewal of 1946 Auto Licenses Now Being Made Automobile registration renewal of which for 1946 began January 2 throughout the state of California, will become delinquent at midnight February 4. Because of the steel shortage, a metallic tab to be bolted to the 1945 plate is being issued. The vehicle owner may obtain his tab by presenting his 1945 registration card and the fee shown on the lower left hand portion of the card. The 1945 registration card should show the applicant's present address. If the applicant has moved, he should cross out the old address and print in the new address carefully in ink. The 1946 registration card will be mailed to the address on the 1945 card. Automobile owners of Anaheim, as well as of the remainder of Orange county, may effect renewal of registration by calling at the California highway patrol office, 405 South Main street, Orange. Lt.

At the same time, farmers had reduce their liabilities, including real estate mortgages and non-real estate debts to just under $9,000,000,000. This gives farmers as a whole nearly two dollars in financial assets for every dollar of debt. Ray Dixon New Alpha Beta Meat Mkt. Mgr.

Murray Hatfield CHRISTIAN SCIENCE These verses from the Psalms are the Golden Text in the Sunday Lesson-Sermon on "Sacrament" in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston; "What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord." In his Sermon on the Mount, as given in Matthew, Jesus says, "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." In Luke's Gospel it is reported that "there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest." And Jesus said, "He that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve... And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy says, "What we most need is the prayer of fervent desire for growth in grace, expressed in patience, meekness, love, and good deeds." "Meekness and charity have divine authority." CHURCH OF CHRIST (Christian) Corner Broadway and Helena. Guy E. Humphreys, minister. Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. James A.
