NELSON CAMPAIGNS AGAINST TRUCKS Determined to enforce the law governing overloaded trucks with the same vigor that the speed law is enforced in Orange-co, District Atty. A. P. Nelson has held a conference with Traffic Officers O. K. Carr, W. S. Warner and Vernon Myers and instructed them to launch against truck drivers a campaign that will put an end to traffic law violations. That the greatest damage to the county highways is being done by overloaded and speeding trucks is an undisputed fact, according to Dist. Atty. Nelson, and every effort will be made henceforth to hold truck drivers within the law. Nelson announced that he would appear before supervisors at their meeting today and make arrangements to supply the traffic officers with keys to all public scales in the county. Every truck that has the appearance of being overloaded will be directed to the nearest public scale and weighed. If it proves to be overloaded the driver will be hailed before a justice of the peace and fined in accordance with the penalty provided in the motor vehicle laws. Keys will be secured to public scales at Buena Park, Anaheim; Fullerton, Santa Ana; Irvine and the sugar factories at Los Alamitos; Huntington Beach, and Dyer. It is understood that the scales at some of these places do not permit the weighing of loads in excess of 30,000 lbs., some less than than. Nelson said that he is heartily in favor of a plan proposed by Supervisor Wm. Schumacher to have a scale placed on all county highways at the point where they connect with an adjoining county. Trucks could then be weighed as they enter the county and all overloads detected on the spot. The county road ordinance fixes this maximum truck load at 23,400 pounds, including the weight of the truck. The state law fixes the maximum load at 30,000. Truck drivers will be forced to abide by the county in excellent shape and widened in places to accommodate more runners. Curves will be banked and graded better than at present. Santa Ana is farther advanced in track activities than any school in the county. All of the other schools have been too interested in basketball to take much interest in the cinder path events. Fullerton has done little else but practice basketball the past few weeks and is only just beginning on track work. Orange has had a few men jogging around the oval from time to time, but has had no definite workouts. Anaheim is ahead of many of the schools in track work. Eliminated from the Orange league basketball competition in the opening rounds, the Anaheim school has been hard at work on track activities. Material is lacking in many events, however, and the Mother Coyote track squad is not figured on as a dangerous contender for county track honors. Huntington Beach has been working out in good shape and has a number of individual stars who will probably accumulate a good share of points. Capistrano is expected to have a number of athletes in the county event. Although the Mission high school will not run competition in points to win the meet, its men will probably upset the dope in a number of events. CYPRESS REALTY ACTIVITY REVIVES CYPRESS, March 1—Special—Activity in real estate revived suddenly last week. The Marrurg property, consisting of five acres improved by a small modern dwelling, good barn and buildings and pens to accommodate several hundred nen, was sold to a family now residing in Anaheim whose name was hot learned. The property is situated east of the P. E. tracks on the south side of Lincoln-ave. The same day the C. L. Spraker ranch was sold to a Colorado couple. This property is located at Moody station and consists of 40 acres of well improved land. Sunday's dinner was three birthdays in the Barbara Monroe-Geo-B Miller.

Miss Lenore Stewart Nelson said that he is heartily in favor of a plan proposed by Supervisor Wm. Schumacher to have a scale placed on all county highways at the point where they connect with an adjoining county. Trucks could then be weighed as they enter the county and all overlands detected on the spot. The county road ordinance fixes the maximum truck load at 23,400 pounds, including the weight of the truck. The state law fixes the maximum load at 30,000. Truck drivers will be forced to abide by the county law. Particular stress is to be laid on the matter of speeding trucks. A truck loaded with 9,000 pounds is limited to a speed of 25 miles an hour; 12,000 pounds to 15 miles an hour and 24,000 pounds to 10 miles an hour. Empty trucks, designed to carry more than four tons, are not allowed to travel in excess of 15 miles an hour. In the opinion of the traffic officers it is these empty trucks that do the most damage. The county ordinance provides for a fine of $20 for every ton in excess of that allowed by the law. Nelson said that complaints are coming into his office almost daily from individuals and organizations as to the deplorable condition of the highways. The Associated Chamber of Commerce has registered a complaint by sending a committee to the district attorney's office. County Track & Field Meet Middle of April Orange league track meet, the event of the elender path season in Orange county, will be held in Santa Ana about the middle of April. The meet was to have been held in Orange, but the high school there has decided it would be unable to accommodate spectators and athletes, so has requested that Santa Ana arrhage for the affair. The Santa Ana track will be put under CYPRESS, March 1—Special—Activity in real estate revived suddenly last week. The Marrurg property, consisting of five acres improved by a small but modern dwelling, good barn and buildings and pens to accommodate several hundred pens, was sold to a family now residing in Anaheim, whose name was not learned. The property is situated just east of the P.E. tracks on the south side of Lincoln ave. The same day the C.L. Spraker ranch was sold to a Colorado couple. This property is located at Moody station and consists of 40 acres of well improved farm land, with modern and very good buildings. Much of the farm acreage that was listed for sale has been withdrawn on account of the oil agitation. This withdrawing of acreage has caused a lull in land transfers. There is much inquiry for small acreages. The wave of sickness that has been over-running the community is receding. Mrs. John Seconce is much improved, also Mrs. Morris, W.D. Ledford is able to be about after a week's illness. D.C. Batis, who was on the verge of a term in bed, is improved Mr. L.A. Grippie was an unwelcome guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joc Ritter last week. Mrs. J. Dugan was out Saturday after a weeks' battle. Every one is improving and we are in hopes the malady is on the run. Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Spraker, Mr. and Mrs. Klster, Mr. and Mrs. Cox, and son and Mls Ruth Witherall motored to the orange show Monday. The bean pickers were entertained at the Cutter home Saturday at luncheon. Miss Margery played hostess, and right she did it. Can she cook? The bean pickers say she can, Chicken, meat loaf, sandwiches, pickles, cake and some excellent home made candy were few of the good things on the table. There must have been something with a kick in it that we were unable to locate, as Mr. Geo. Miller felt so husky that he tried to balance a 100-lb bag of beans on his ear, which he did not do, and Mrs. Monroe fell down the mill steps shortly after the lunch. Everyone present enjoyed the ooccalion. Mrs. Maude Monroe and three children, of Graham, spent Saturday and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Mill- PRINTING Problems We Can Solve Them!

Tennis equipment remains about the same price. The difficulty in securing seasoned ash and the high cost of material for strings is keeping the price of racquets up, they say. Ash has jumped thirty per cent in price and the price of "gut" has not only mounted in the same proportion, but the packers are unwilling to handle it. In pointing out the difficulties encountered in manufacturing racquets, one big dealer called attention to something not generally known to the lay player, that only "gut" from grass fed lamb could be used. The product from alkaline fed animals is too rough, he said. Golf equipment remains about the same price also. Some of the finest clubs made from hickory have jumped one dollar but the ordinary "sticks" remain at the same as last year as also do balls at one dollar each. Baseball equipment has not increased in price. The best balls will sell for $2.50, a good glove can be purchased for $8.00 and bats run from fifty cents up—mostly up. Despite the pronounced drop in the wool market, uniforms will be no cheaper as the manufacturer were forced to buy their materials late last summer and during the fall. Sweaters, woolen caps, jerseys and stockings, however, are down forty per cent. Sweaters that sold last season for $25 are now available for $15 and cheaper in some cases. Swimming suits alone on the list will be cheaper. Materials were bought after the woolen market dropped and the outfits that cost $10 last summer can be bought this summer around $6. "Possibly this may not be believed in some circles," one of the manufacturers said, "but we are selling everything on a very close margin and have been slow in raising prices because we do not want to discourage sports by prices that reduce the number of participants. It is obvious that our prifits will be the same with large sales at smaller profits than with few sales at greater profits and we can help to keep the game going, which, of course, furnishes the demand for our goods."
