CHANCE FOR GIRLS TO LEARN NURSING Orange-co General Hospital is anxious to obtain five or six young women, preferably 18 to 25 years old, to take up the course of nursing which begins Feb. 1. The courses lasts only 28 months, instead of 36 as formerly, for the certificate. The school is registered by the state. The hospital has an advantage over similar institutions, says Supt. Harry E. Zaiser, in that every variety if disease is treated—none excluded. An allowance, besides all findings, is given of $20 per month the first year, $25 the second and $30 the last four months. A competent instructress is available and lectures also are given by physicians who are specialists in their lines.

Texas Tumalawiches, Heying AIN DEALER BIDING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim; California; Monday, Jan. 8, 1923 LEG FLEEING MORE FUNDS, PLEADS NEW SHERIFF Jernigan, First Day in Office, Sees Law Enforcement Emergency An emergency law enforcement fund is necessary, said Sheriff Sam Jernigan today, his first day of office. Jernigan has completed all preparations for a vigorous conduct of the shrievalty. If a crime wave hit the county, it would be almost impossible to cope with it, said Jernigan, especially in view of the fact that heavier duties are imposed because of the Wright Act. A Supreme Court decision has actually cut the force of the office for the next two years. The decision for 3/4 MILLIONS FOR CITRUS ADVERTISING Exchange will Spend Enormous Sum to Market Oranges & Lemons On the basis of a crop estimate of 12,074,000 boxes the California Fruit Growers' Exchange will expend $782,000 for advertising in the year ending Nov. 1, 1923. It was announced today. One half a cent more per box of oranges was voted by the directors, which brings the rate to four cents. A small carry-over is included in the estimate mentioned. The expenditure on oranges is $484,000 and on lemons $282,000. On lemons six and one-half cents per box is allowed. On grapefruit $16,500 will be expended. 9 Boys Held in 2 Days For Thefts of Autos Nine juveniles, arrests for thefts of autos in two days is the county record over the week-end.

He was arrested by Officers Moody and Nicholas who found six An emergency law enforcement fund is necessary, said Sheriff Sam Jernigan today, his first day of office. Jernigan has completed all preparations for a vigorous conduct of the shrievalty. If a crime wave hit the county, it would be almost impossible to cope with it, said Jernigan, especially in view of the fact that heavier duties are imposed because of the Wright act. A Supreme Court decision has actually cut the force of the office for the next two years. The decision forbids increased funds or additional employees in the new biennium. Various county offices are affected. A county charter or reversal by the court as newly constituted of its former decision have been ways suggested of meeting the difficulty. Even the office of A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, may be weakened or endangered. Sheriff Jernigan said he had given instructions to his aides to be ready at all times day or night. He himself will be similarly available, and chose the jail as his residence for that purpose. Jernigan for three months, while undersheriff in 1911-12 for former Sheriff C. E. Ruddock, was acting sherriff. He said he would co-operate with the other county offices with the object of securing full law enforcement. Promptly at 12 noon Jernigan took the oath of office, administered by County Clark Joe Backs. SHERIFF JACKSON GLAD TO BE OUT "It seems like leaving home," ex-Sheriff C. E. Jackson said this morning as he was about to give up the office to Sheriff Sam Jernigan. For 16 years, eight as constable, Jackson has been connected with the office, he explained. "The people of Orange-co have been very nice to me, and I have tried to appreciate it by giving them the best service I could Any time I can be of assistance to my successor I'll be glad to aid." "I expect to be a loafer for a short time. "I've had some very good offers, but have accepted none of them." "I don't know how other defeated candidates feel about it, but I'm glad to be out. I wish my successor all kinds of luck." IT'S MOVING DAY AT COURTHOUSE The county court house was a busy place today. The east entrance was blocked with the safe, cabinets, etc. of County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb, who is moving to larger quarters in the Medical-bldg.

It was announced Nov. 1, 1923. One half a cent more per box of oranges was voted by the directors which brings the rate to four cents. A small carry-over is included in the estimate mentioned. The expenditure on oranges is $484,000 and on lemons $282,000. On lemons six and one-half cents per box is allowed. On grapefruit $16,500 will be expended, or four cents per box. All of these estimates are larger than in the previous year because the crop is larger and the rate on oranges higher. At least 5,000 extractor machines will be manufactured. The usual publications will be used. SUIT FILED OVER $140,000 OF LAND Suit involving 405 acres or more of land valued at $140,000, the Orro property, was filed today by Attorneys E. S.

Young, chairman of the club activities committee, started a precedent that will make other committees sit up and take notice when he had the other members of the committee as guests in his home. The activities of the club were discussed after a very fine chicken dinner had been taken care of. While the conclusions of the committee are not known at this time, it is certain the program and entertainment committees of the club will have a "brace of suggestions" within the next few weeks. Chairman Young would not state the committee's conclusions, for he declared the club will first hear the ideas of the committee at a regular meeting sometime this month. Tomorrow, the Kiwanis club will meet at the new plant of the Anaheim Laundry Company, where Kiwanian Gus Theodore and his brothers will provide lunch and entertainment for the members. PETITION PROBATE OF $25,000 ESTATE IT'S MOVING DAY AT COURTHOUSE The county court house was a busy place today. The east entrance was blocked with the safe, cabinets, etc. of County Tax Collector J.

The county clerk's office was strengthened at intervals with county officials and their friends and well wishers, while the oath of office was being administered by County Clerk Joe Backs or his aides.
