VALENCIA SEASON NOW IN FULL SWING Busy hands of hundreds of persons in Orange-co will be engaged for several months in picking, packing and shipping 1,474,400,000 valencia oranges of the Orange-co valencia crop now coming in, it was estimated today. In pre-war times, those figures would have made the average reader dizzy, but they seem to be more or less commonplace today. The figures given form the basis for interesting development by those mathematically inclined. How many clips by clippers in the hands of pickers it will take to pick the crop, may readily be computed because one clip severs an orange from the tree. The estimate might be carried to the point of how many billions of turns the total number of oranges will make in the process of wrapping with tissue paper preparatory to packing. How many times they will be handled by individuals preparing them for shipment and marketing, is an interesting point; or some bright mind might estimate the number of mites the golden fruit will travel, taking the average mileage of the single orange and multiplying it by the total. Orange-co is the largest producer of Valencias in the state or world, and the product has become famous the world over, thus one of the big commercial crops of the country. Finished by the Garden Grove association. A like number of boxes will go to London, the fruit coming from the Villa Park Orchards association. Three carloads of Orange-co fruit will be shipped this week to New York by the steamer West Isleda, Olive, Tustin and McPherson supplying one carload each. A new wage scale for pickers has been adopted by the Orange County Fruit exchange. It is based on a graduated scale inducing careful and rapid picking. The basle wage is 30 cents an hour for nine hours, or $2.70 a day. Bonuses are offered that make it possible for a consistent worker to increase his daily wage $1 or more. Forty boxes a day is the minimum, with reward for each box over that number, based on the percentage of clean fruit picked. A picker whose pick shows only four per cent defective will get 3 cents for every box over forty picked in one day; 3 per cent defective, 4 cents a box; 2 per cent defective, 5 cents a box, and 1 per cent defective, 6 cents. A good workman can pick from fifty to sixty boxes a day, it is said. The exchange is endeavoring to secure a high degree of efficiency among the workmen and is using every precaution to insure shipment of the best quality fruit. That citrus shipments by water direct from So. Calif. to Atlantic sea-board ports and overseas are increasing is evidenced by the announcement that 100,000 boxes of oranges and lemons will be shipped from San Pedro within the next 50 days. Durand proposes opportunity to bring final action for American business affect the rate of remission of the remission not only on ships using than one-fourth shipment in the Pacific lower price that facturer shippings.

A SUGGESTION— WESSON OIL BOILED SALAD DRESSING (From Mrn. Allen's "SNOWDRIFT Secrets.") In generous WESSON OIL Fruitful Flour Sweet Sugar Sweet or slightly sour Village Vinegar Bell Salt Mustard Olive Oil In WESSON OIL which has been stirred with milk and cook, stirring it until thickened on the consistency of the milk, add the vinegar, pour through a thickened, stirring contained egg whites. This dressing is transferred to a cool place, if kept in Hornung, author. Hornung's famous transferred to The Advertisement and proponents of toll exemption an opportunity to be heard before taking final action. Exemption of tolls for American bottoms probably would affect the rate on citrus shipments. It has been stated that the manufacturers and producers of the Middle West are strongly opposed to the exemption bill on the ground that the remission of tolls would constitute not only a subsidy to American ships using the canal, which are less than one-fourth of all American shipping, but a discrimination favoring their tidewater competitors. The contention is that the New Yorg manufacturer, for example, in shipping via the canal in toll exempt ships, could lay down his product in the Pacific states at a much lower price than the Illinois manufacturer shipping by rail. Senator Jones asserted at the committee meeting that "an American ship of 6000 tons has to pay $7200 canal toll, a burden which American ships should not be required to bear in using a waterway constructed and protected by the United States." "Tolls imposed on American ships constitute 3 per cent of the investment, clearly a large proportion of their margin of profit," said Senator Walsh of Montana, Democrat. Supervisors' Minutes Bids were opened for improvement of Lyon-st, in the fifth district. All bids were rejected with the exception of B. R. Ford, which was taken under advisement until property owners put up their money. H. S.

RUMORS INTEREST P. O. JOB SEEKERS As a result of a report from Washington, D.C., to the effect that post office appointments are to be left in the civil service with four-year terms, a number of aspirants for postmasterships in this county are wondering "where they are at." Word from Washington states that a newspaper of that city reported that an interview was held between President Harding and Postmaster General W. H. Hays at which it is understood an agreement was reached to the effect that at the expiration of the four-year terms for which postmasters now in office were originally appointed civil service examinations will be held, the three standing highest in the tests to be certified by the civil service department to be made from the three so certified. Ever since last November there have been all kinds of conjectures as to what would be done with postmasters now in office. Since June, 1920, they have been acting under a proclamation issued by President See what $1 will buy at Grocereria SATURDAY 1 lb. Butter; 1 doz. Eggs; 1 can Tomatoes; 1 lb.

That is, he would make them available for appointment at the end of the four-year terms, appointments as a rule being based upon a congressman's recommendation. If the Harding proclamation, confidently expected, follows the line suggested in the Washington report, all applicants for appointment will be subjected to civil service examination, and the postmasters, probably of first, second and third class offices, will have their terms end as they would have ended under appointments secured previous to June, 1920.
