The following letter was directed to Mr. John Daggett, director of the Times broadening station: "The Community Service organization of Anaheim has assembled considerable talent in its dramatic and choral societies. They might be pleased upon to furnish a very pleasing program for your radio some evening. The dramatic section could provide readings and the choral section instrumental as well as solo and choral numbers suite on a par with your excellent programs. "In connection with the choral section, there could be sung Anaheim's new civile anthem, written by local composers and selected from about 50 entries in a contest recently conducted." This is the first time a city has adopted a civic anthem. It is at least sufficiently unique to be given more than passing mention. "You would find the dramatic and choral societies both well coached." Kindly let me know what consideration you might be able to give such a program as outlined above and which by the way could be made any length you desire." GAMBLERS CLUB IN L. A. SAYS NELSON Los Angeles has a club which abilies, confidence men and various other types that prey upon the gullible frequent, Dist. Attoy, A. F. Nelson says in a statement filed day on J. K. Woods, convicted of selling phantom oil lots in the Mojave desert to many Anaheimers. Woods frequented this club, according to a report, says Nelson. Superior Judge Z. B. West, and Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley also signed the statement. Woods was a barber for 15 years, then a salesman for a while and finally a broker. He is not "industrious" nor "of good character," but his "disposition" is "kingly" and that of a gentleman. He has "a good bearing, is an impressive talkor, bold in his manner of approach, splendidly equipped for selling phantoms and other intangible matter. Not vicious in the sense that implies physical violence, but one who can push a fraudulent scheme on widows and orphans without feeling any pangs of conscience."

While the general strike declared by the French miners federation does not start officially until tomorrow morning, workers at many pits stopped as soon as word of the plan reached them. Several thousand Belgian workers walked out at Cuesmes in connection with a nationwide demand for a 25 percent increase in wages. The National Council of Federated Miners of France has thus far refrained from joining the strike in this country. This is welcomed by operators as a favorable sign, but L'Eclair admits a majority of the miners in the Loire valley will walk out tomorrow.

NEED LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE AIDES Even if the decision of the Supreme Court in Alameda Co. proves favorable in regard to the question of more aides in county offices being permitted, new statutes would have to be passed making such additions effectual on passage of the law, Deputy Dist.-At.

The boards of supervisors in the counties affected could not go ahead and merely authorize additional deputies.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAF CREASES IN NG ORANGES 1240 ACRES ADDED TO ORANGE-CO PRODUCTION Twelve hundred and forty acres of orange trees in Orange County have come into bearing the past year, according to figures issued today by Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock's office, and 1414 acres of lemons. Brock yesterday issued a report published in these columns on present acreage of citrus fruit, vegetables etc., in the county. The foregoing figures admittedly are only approximate, because the data of last year used for comparison is partly estimated. Last year's lemon acreage articularly is not exact. Nevertheless the figures bear out Brock's prediction of a large increase. DIST. ATTY. OFFICE AWAITS COMPLAINT AGAINST KU KLUX The Dist. Atty's, office has received no report of the facts concerning the visit of the Ku Klux Klu to the tab Brock yesterday issued a report published in these columns on present acreage of citrus fruit, vegetables etc., in the county. The foregoing figures admittedly are only approximate, because the data of last year used for comparison is partly estimated. Last year's lemon acreage articularly is not exact. Nevertheless the figures bear out Brock's prediction of a large increase. In walnut acreage and production this county is second in the State, says Brock, has 14,506.1 bearing acres and 888.5 non-bearing acres. The production from this acreage last year was 15,859,932 pounds. Figured on the average price for walnuts this would produce an income of $3,627,074.02. The bean is a very important crop in this county. We have about 30,009 acres of limas and blockeyes. With an average yield we should produce 36,000,000 pounds. This, figured on the average price of the beans would yield an income of $2,040,000. We have a large beet acreage in this County. There was planted last year in this County about 22,000 acres of sugar beets which produced 143,000 tons of beets. This would return to the growers, based on the average price per ton about $1,001,000. In this County we grow asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, lettuce, tomatoes and there is also a considerable acreage devoted to the production of vegetable seed. Our total vegetable acreage for the past year was 3,650 acres. This produced an income based on the average price of $943,650. We have a considerable acreage of peppers of various kinds in this County. There was planted last year about 4,020 acres to this crop and produced approximately 13,950 tons. Figuring this tonnage at the average price for the various kinds of peppers, the growers received an income of $1,081,750. Orange County has also a considerable acreage of apples in the Costa Mesa section. Last year they produced about 20,000 boxes from an acreage of 312 bearing acres and 300 non-bearing acres. This yields on the average, an income based on the average price per box, about $30,000. Orange County has a small acreage of apricots. About 827 bearing acres produced 4,538 tons of fruit last year. This production, based on the average price per ton, brought an income of $1,361,400. Two very popular crops which are at present in their infancy produced last year, from 46 bearing acres, about 900 pounds of avocados, and about 60 tons of persimmons from about 100 acres. The avocados brought an income of about $675 and the persimmons, based on the average price received, brought an income of about $9600. There are about 160 acres of non-bearing olives in the County. DIST. ATTY. OFFICE AWAITS COMPLAINT AGAINST KU KLUX The Dist. Atty's office has received no report of the facts concerning the visit of the Ku Klux Klan to the tabernacle of the Christian church Tuesday night and can do nothing unless the law has been violated. This was Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley's comment today. Mozley admitted that the office, taking the cue from Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson, is opposed to the Klan's activities, but said that so far the wearing of hooded gowns was not against the law in California. Nelson himself during the previous activities of the Klan here, was opposed to it so far as it was unlawful in its activities. DECIDE TYPE OF HIGHWAY PAVING The question of whether the other two links of the State coast highway in Orange-co will be built or ashalt or concrete will probably be settled at a conference and inspection of the road to be held Monday between R. M. Morton, chief engineer of the State Highway Commission, and J. L. McBride, County Engineer. The first of the three links is of six inch concrete—without a gravel base, even—and the other two links are expected to be of the same material, with or without the base. The commission, according to McBride—who is keeping out all controversies between the two types of pavement—has practically declared that the other two links will be built, tho not even contracted for any yet. Concrete is said to be the big word with the new highway commission, including N. T.-Edwards of Orange, the third of the three appointees. 3 MINOR MOTOR CRASHES REPORTED A minor accident was reported to local police today in which a Reo car owned by L. W. Hypes backed into a Ford car on West Center-st. The headlights on the Ford were smashed. An accident was reported in which two cars one belonging to Joan Ellis and the other to E. F. Shamona both of Anahela, cabled at Helen and Center-sts. Both cars were damaged. J. Knuenen and L. Torres, both of Anaheim, received damages to their cars in a collision. HORTAGE Feb. 15.—The edenials to the by brokers to shortage, and w and roasted dancing rapidly of surplus in over crop and of the preses: He says surplus ship-route on this acres produced 4,538 tons of fruit last year. This production, based on the average price per ton, brought an income of $1,361,400. Two very popular crops which are at present in their infancy produced last year, from 46 bearing acres, about 900 pounds of avocados, and about 60 tons of persimmons from about 100 acres. The avocados brought an income of about $675 and the persimmons, based on the average price received, brought an income of about $9600. There are about 160 acres of non-bearing olives in the County. We have a big acreage of hay, a small acreage of alfalfa, about 8,000 acres of barley, about 3,000 acres of wheat, making a total acreage of grain, alfalfa and hay about 41,500 acres. The income from this production was approximately $616,-798.70. The farm crops in the County last year amounted to $27,778,204.97. This was based on the average price for each crop, from an acreage of 175,877.5 acres. 20,580 citrus trees were inspected during the year of 1921, having come into this County from other counties. Considering the conditions under which the producers were forced to operate last year, I am sure that those who are boosters for the County will feel elated over the showing made. CAL TREE PLANTING WEEK MARCH 4-10 Attention to California Tree Planting Week is called by the California Association of Nurserymen in a letter to the Board of Supervisors filed today.
