ROY SHIPKEY DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS Roy W. shipkey, 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. shipkey of 418 So. Spadra-rd., Fullerton, died this morning at 3:20 o'clock, following an illness of several months. He was born in Great Falls, Mont., June 18, 1898. His father is a wealthy landowner in Fullerton, and his brothers are well known in Fullerton and Anahiem. He is survived by his parents and four brothers, Carl A. shipkey of Los Angeles, Arthur shipkey of Anahiem, Harpy shipkey, Jr., and Ted shipkey of Santa Barbara. Movement for Week Climbs to 1528 Cars, 464 Over Last Week Weekly Citrus Review LOS ANGELES, March 3. The market on California navel oranges, both at auction and private sale has been lower the past week, particularly on sizes 126s and larger. Shipments for the past week climbed to 152% cars, an increase of 464 cars over the previous week. A heavier supply of navels in all markets is directly responsible for lowering prices. With the large size problem comes the necessity for again revising the crop estimate. Latest figures now being compiled promise another 10 per cent increase in navel production. Estimates as to the number of carloads of naevia left for shipment range between 10,000 and 11,000. That would mean 5000 cars per month of March and April, after which Valencia shipping will open up in full force. Florida orange shipments the past seven days totaled 1000 cars. It will be well along toward the end of March before Florida shipments will be materially reduced. Florida Valencia oranges are now selling in eastern markets. The two most important competitive factors in the California navel deal are apples and Florida oranges. Apple values are more stable than at any time during the past three months. Holdings are somewhat heavier than a year ago. An unusually large proportion of the holdings show full maturity. To what extent the apple situation will continue to influence the navel market is problematic. The larger holdings of apples and the heavy proportion of fully matured fruit are weak spots in the situation. The result might be a continuance of the low level of prices which would have considerable bearing on the orange market. Full and general bloom of orange trees will be under way during March. The bloom last year came largely in May. A general bloom in March is rare. An early bloom will make it possible for the oranges to attain a good size before the usual June hot spell. F. o. b. California quotations are unchanged. Size 80s, $1.20 per box; 100s, $2.40; 126s, $2.90; 150s, $3.15; smaller sizes, $3.40. Cash California quotations are as follows: Standard sizes, 10 per cent 100s and 20 per cent 126s, balance smaller, $2.85 to $3.00 per box for fancy fruit. Choice fruit, $2.60 to $2.75 per box. Straight cars of 126s and larger are quoted as follows, recording to size 80s, $1.85; 100s, $2.35; 126s, $2.60. At the present time weather conditions are such an to encourage a large orange consumption. In other words when it was raining they bottle was filled. FEAR FOR LIFE OF PLANE VICTIM AT SANTA FE SPRINGS Grave concern was felt today for the recovery of Mrs. Ella L.

NELLIE TERRY AGAIN GETS PRIZE Let no one contradict the efficacy of carrying the left hind foot of a rabbit, nor seeing the new moon over the right shoulder, nor finding a plot point first for all these are bone-fide indications of good luck, as proven by Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, who admits (although she hasn't done it) there may be something in the superstition. She was again a lucky woman when she was given second prize, a Ford sedan, in the Lehman Vineyard tract at Burbank. Miss Carrie Schaeffer of Los Angeles got first prize, a $4000 house.

FRENCH MOVING ON FIFTY-MILE FRONT; SEIZE LARGE CITIES FRENCH MILITARY HEAD-QUARTERS, MAYENCE, March, 3—French troops advanced today a long a 50-mile front in Rhemlish Bavaria, Baden and Hesse, occupying additional German cities of great strategic importance. French troops entered the great inland port and railway city of Mannheim at 6 o'clock. There were about 500 French infantry and cavalry supported with machine gun platoons, tanks and armored cars. By 9 o'clock the city had been almost completely taken over. Up to that hour there had been no hostile incidents. Mannheim is 40 miles south of Mayence: Other French detachments occupied the railway stations in Darmstadt, which is 20 miles southeast of Mayence and only 18 miles from the frontier of Bavaria. French troops took over the Rhine harbor at Karlsruhe during the afternoon. Karlarube is an important railway and industrial city 35 miles south of Mannheim. The fresh occupation of Germans territory effectually cuts main line railway communication between Berlin, Baden and Wuerttemberg. All the railroad lines in the newly occupied zones were taken over by the French and wharves along the Rhine river were seized. German railroad employees at Darmstadt quit work in protest against French occupation of the stations. Advices from Darmstadt early in the afternoon said that the population had become restive and that food stores and banks had been raided by frightened persons who sought to lay up surplus stores of provisions and money.
