NE CROPS FILL XMAS STOCKINGS By H. E. Wahlberg. Farm Advisor When Miers, Orange Grower, Walnut Grower, Lemon Grower, Bean Growers, Poultryman and Dairyman of Orange-co gather around the hearth on Yuletide, he can full into that old arm chair and puff away at his pipe or cigar with a feeling of some satisfaction at least that he has fared better than his brother in the east and some selections of the north. With the exception of a few bean farmers on the dry land, the general crop situation in Orange-co, the last year has been good. The returns for most crops has been good for 1923, although not always as much as the grower desired, not to say entitled to. But that is the old, old story of the farmers' 40 cent dollar. When we compare little Orange-co with the general status of agriculture over the nation, our own condition takes on a brighter aspect. We are not so unfortunate after all. Analysis of the brighter situation in our county will throw considerable credit to the cooperative producers organizations which have largely stabilized the marketing of our products. Competent direction and orderly marketing have paved the day for our growers. The chaotic condition of the grain market, which has commanded the attention of the nation of late, has been largely due to the absence of co-operation on the part of the grower. It will be a big task to organize growers of such a universal crop as grain, but it must eventually come about in order to secure stability. Of course, other factors enter into the problem; foreign competition, low production on poor lands, thus causing high costs of production, etc. The specialized crops of Orange-co fortunately, are more susceptible of commodity organization than crops grown generally over the nation, which has been largely responsible for our white area on the agricultural map. STEAMER SINKS IN ELLIOTT BAY SEATTLE, Dec. 20.—The Puget Sound steamer Astorian, valued at $35,000 with a cargo of Christmas turkeys worth $6000, today lies on the bottom of Elliott Bay at the entrance to Seattle harbor, following a collision with a Union Oil Co. barge. The tug which had the barge in tow, rescued 12 passengers and 15 members of the crew of the Astorian without loss of life or injury. The accident occurred late last night in a dense fog off Smith Cove, as the Astorian was entering the harbor, and the tug and barge were enroute to discharge oil for the Admiral Oriental liner President McKinley at the Smith Cove terminal. Captain C. E. Basford, of the Astorian, said he stopped his ship a minute before seeing the light of the tug and barge and that the barge still under way, rammed his vessel. Captain Fred Hardwick of the tug claims the Astorian ran down the barge. The Astorian was making her second trip for her new owners, the San Juan Transportation Co., of Bellingham. She was formerly the Nisqually, plying between Tacoma and Olympia. WALLS AND BARS MELT IN SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS (Continued from page one) Not far from Mrs. Peete, another life termer makes her Christmas gifts. She is Mrs. Clara Phillips, convicted in Los Angeles for murdering Mrs. Albert Meadows with a hammer. Childress in the outside world as is Mrs. Peete in prison, Mrs. Phillips is not to be denied this Christ's birthday the joy of a child's love. Near by in a german-covered cottage waits Clara's younger "baby sister" who fled with Mrs. Phillips when she sped to Honduras in an attempt to escape the law. All her life she has looked to mother love in her older sister and this Christmas, the first Mrs. Phillips will spend in prison, she is waiting expectantly for "Clara's gift." Bright colors—a riot of them—were in the prison ward today. On round table in the dining room. GREEK OFFICERS PLAN REPUBLI ATHENS.

Of course, other factors enter into the problem; foreign competition, low production on poor lands, thus causing high costs of production, etc. The specialized crops of Orange-co fortunately, are more susceptible of commodity organization than crops grown generally over the nation, which has been largely responsible for our white area on the agricultural map. There are in Orange-co about 20 local citrus associations, nine walnut associations, four lima bean associations, one avocado association, one persimmon association. All of these handle the marketing and distribution problems of the producer. Educational and economic projects of the Orange-co farmer are thoroughly handled by an active Farm Bureau and Agricultural Extension Service, which during the past year have held 419 meetings with an attendance of 22,461 people. The best available agricultural information has been brot to every crop group in the county through the numerous field meetings and 15 farm centers. With all this co-operative effort it is only reasonable to expect the advantages that Orange-co has enjoyed over many other sections of the country. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad.

POEMS THAT LIVE DESPAIR There is a winter in my soul, A winter of despair; Oh, when will spring its rage control? When shall the snowdrop blossom there? Cold gleams of comfort sometimes dart A dawn of glory on my heart, But quickly pass away. Thus Northern lights the gloom adorn And give the promise of a dawn That never turns to day. ANON INSCRIPTION ON A FOUNTAIN O you, who mark what flowrets gay, What gales, what odours breathing near, What sheltering shades from summer's ray Allure my spring to linger here: Yet see me quit this margin green, Yet see me deaf to pleasure's call, Explore the thirsty haunts of men, Yet see my bounty flow for all. O learn of me—no partial rill, No slumbering selfish pool be you; But social laws alike fulfill; O flow for all creation too! E. Lovibond Rheumatic Pains Remarkable Discovery Promises Relief to Rheumatic Sufferers German chemistry that has given to the world the boon of Aspirin for the relief of headache pain, and Novocaine for painless dentistry, has now come forward with another scientific discovery that promises to make rheumatic pain a thing of the past for thousands who have suffered terrible tortures. A new combination of certain oils has been discovered, which produces a clear amber liquid that affords immediate relief from pain in many instances. It is so penetrating that it disappears within a few seconds, so that it must be entirely absorbed by the body tissue. Even in the most advanced and stubborn cases the use of this remarkable oil has shown astonishing improvement at once in many cases. Tired muscles regain life, creaking joints with the pain all gone become supple, and the annoying twinges cease. Rheumatism, in many cases, is due to internal abscesses, such as a blind pus pocket in a tooth, which gives off poisons. These poisons are carried by the blood to the muscles and joints and this new oil is designed to neutralize these pain-causing poisons. So astonishing have been the results from the use of this oil that the American distributors have authorized local druggists to dispense it to rheumatic sufferers in this city, with a positive written guarantee, signed by themselves to return the full purchase price of the first bottle if the rheumatic pains are not wonderfully relieved. All who suffer from rheumatic pains should take advantage of this liberal offer. Unless you get relief from the very first bottle, your druggist will return your money. It is called Buhler Oil, and can be had at most good druggists, such macy, J. S. Ward, Heying Pharma Kemp Bros., Anaheim Pharmacy. GILROY FREE ON HABEAS ACTION Frank A. Gilroy, his co-defendant, having won release on habeas corpus proceedings, A. P Monahan, of Huntington Beach, was today preparing to make his own fight for liberty and dismissal of a manslaughter charge. Argument on a demurrer by Monahan's attorney, Thomas L. McFadden, of Anaheim, to the manslaughter charge was reheduled by Superior Judge F. C. Drumm Friday at 9:30 a.m. McFadden was expected to attack the legality of the proceedings. Chief Deputy Dist Atty, C. N. Mozley was preparing to defend the prosecution's "information" against Monahan, accused of selling liquor held responsible for the death of Joe Conroy, of Huntington Park. Conroy died in an auto near Westminster after imbibing a quantity of liquor alleged to have been purchased from Monahan, at Huntington Beach, and Gilroy, in Los Angeles. His companion, Targer Anderson, told of the purchases and identified Monahan as one of the asserted bootleggers from whom the liquor was purchased. Joe Rowan, another companion, pointed out Gilroy as the other asserted bootleger. Attorney Joseph Pacht, of Los Angeles, secured the release of Gilroy Tuesday on habeas corpus proceedings, arguing insufficiency of evidence to justify the holding of his client and also the lack of jurisdiction by an Orange-co court. The evidence showed that the liquor claimed to have been purchased from Gilroy was purchased and consumed in Los Angeles-co.
