Does it pay to ship citrus fruit by water? It certainly does, declares Charles Eygabroad, chairman of the export committee of the Calif. Fruit Growers Exchange, who says the exchange has just received a report on a recent large consignment of lemons to New York by steamer, stating the fruit sold at a profit of 50c a box more to the growers than other lemons shipped by rail and sold the same day in that market.

Murphy Betters Mark For Mile on Speedway LOS ANGELES, April 8 — Jimmy Murphy created a simulation yesterday when he bettered the record for one mile on the Speedway while practicing for the American sprint championship events which will be held on the Beverly speedway on Sunday, April 10. The mark he set for one lap, one-and-one-half miles, was 40 seconds flat, its against the time of 40-2-5 seconds made by Ralph DelPalma in his French Bailot just previous to the last sprint races on the speedway. Also, the performance of Murphy aroused a storm of protest from other members of the Deisenberg team who charged that Murphy had been favored by Frederick Deisenberg after Eddie Pullen had been promised the fastest car in the lot. Both Roscoe Saries and Joe Thomas declare Murphy must disgorge to them the secret information he used to add to the speed of his car. Tommy Milton, Eddie Hearne and Ira Vall are all showing great speed in practice, but indications now are that "Little Jimmy" Murphy will be the pilot who will trim DePalma's calls if the Italian master pilot is defeated on Sunday. The race is at tracing more interest among motor fans than any previous race announced for the speedway. Unique advertisements are being prepared by the Santa Fe and S. P. railways. Six thousand feet of space has been added to the main tent, adding 4000 feet to the industrial space. At the present rate of sale this will be gone within 10 days, then an overflow tent will be started. The sale of concessions under the management of Vic LaMont, has already begun. The contract for decorations will be given by Byrd Landers Co., of Los Angeles. President Harry D. Riley today expressed his gratification to those who had invested in the show and urged others to participate. There have been very few refusals. There was 60 committees appointed each delegated to see 10 individuals. Had all performed as requested, the entire expense would have been underwritten by this time. As it is about one-third been paid in. Riley stated today he wanted to see the entire $15,000 in the bank by May 1. This guaranty fund is returnable to investors with seven percent interest after the show. RICHFIELD SOUTH.

BUSINESS REVIVAL COMES WITH SPRING Business has arrived," says W. O. Rutherford, vice-president of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. His message is a spring-time editorial of helpfulness and cheer to all. Business is here. It should be greater every day. In every newspaper you read of resumption of work. "Back to normal. It is a cheering thought. Employer, employee, dealer and customer are glad of it." Goodrich is inspiring its thousands of dealers with this thought and through a special appeal to the entire automotive industry is urging them to pass along the word that business is entering a new and healthy era. "Crops are being put in as old-old," says Rutherford. "Mother never takes a vacation. She is springing into her work, making the seeds sprout and the crops grow. The food of the world is going to be produced. The foundation of all prosperity exists as it always did." In the automotive industry news is encouraging.

The premier stated that enrollment of volunteers will begin tomorrow. The territorial forces (militia) will not be included into the reserves, he said, but members and ex-service men were urged to enlist. PLANS FOX HUNT IN HILLS OVER WEEKEND Manager E. A. Beard, of the Anaheim phone office, will spend the week-end at the cabin of C. H. Cunningham, millionaire olimar of Los Angeles, in the Santa Monica mountains. Both men are enthusiastic fox hunters. Cunningham maintaining a pack of highly-bred fox hounds. They will enjoy a chase over Cunningham's ranch and neighboring canyons. Beard plans to raise a pack of hounds here, having the nuclous in a dog of the Turner strain. PARK YOUR MOTOR MINUS TIRE INJury How do you park your car? Though parking ordinances in cities differ, the majority require driving up to a curb of some kind. Here many injuries are born. The motorist driving up at the proper angle unconsciously depends in a measure upon the curb stone to stop his car. The impact flattens and strains the tire carcass. In driving parallel to the curb the tire side walls are ordinarily rasped against the stone. The edges of the tread suffer too. The resultant roughened place on the inside of the carcars constantly chafes the tube. Such a condition is responsible for many a tube going flat without apparent reason. A careful driver counts to a stop, first throttling down his engine and plying his brakes gently. It is not why not count quality, too?" FINES LOOMING IN NEW TAX RULING Income tax payers of Orange-co who did not include their returns profits made on the sale of capital assets have laid themselves liable to fines and will have to make out new forms according to announcement in Los Angeles by Internal Revenue Collector John P. Carter. The supreme court has ruled that profit derived from the sale of capital assets is taxable income. It is said that thousands of income taxpayers throughout the U.S., acting on a decision of the U.S. circuit court at Cincinnati, in which it was held that profits from the sale of bonds was not taxable income, failed to include such profits in their reports. The government appealed from the decision. "Innsamuch as an appeal from this decision had taken by the government, taxpayers had no right to assume that they were not required to include such items in their returns as sincome," says Carter. "Instead of paying one-fourth down and waiting until June 15, when the next installment is due, for a final decision by the supreme court thousands of taxpayers neglected under protest, but not many did as they should have done—pay one-fourth down with the filing of the return on the understanding that an abatement claim for the unpaid balance could be filed should the decision go in their favor." Carter states that he believes the taxes paid for the first quarter of 1920 will exceed the figure for the first quarter of 1919, which was around $55,000,000. City Briefs T. P.

The following description of conditions, which are typical of many of the villages, has just been received: "Whole villages have been found where there was not enough food to keep one family for a week. Whole families are lying on one brick bed, too sick and weak to move. Entire towns are in the throes of slow death by starvation. In some localities there is not a tree to be seen anywhere; they have all been cut down for fuel. In many villages the people have begun to wreck their own houses, leaving but one room to shelter the whole family, in order to obtain fuel for cooking their "meals" of chaff, tree-bark and leaves. In one village visited, most of the houses had been unroofed.

HUNGARIAN CABINET The lease offers one-ninth royalty. In case drilling is not started within one year, the city is paid $5 per acre per month for the first six months, $7.50 per acre per month for the second six months and $10 per acre acre per month thereafter. The lease is offered by Dr. J. Hamilton, who is understood to be obtaining leases for the Petroleum Midway, Inc., a-Doheney concern. Much other territory in the vicinity of the city farm has already been leased. The two city officials, after a casual study of the lease, were inclined to think that aside from possibly encouraging the testing out for oil development of the section west of Anaheim, there would be little advantage to the city to sign such a lease, by trying it up so that any disposition of the tract might be handicapped. This objection, however, is met partially by the agreement of those taking the lease to file a release with a trust company which would turn it over whenever it is shown the terms of the lease have not been met. 1 DEAD, MANY HURT IN ITALIAN RIOTING LONDON, April 8 — One was killed and many injured in riots between Socialists and Fascists in Padova, according to a dispatch from Rome.
