GANGE MARKET POST PROMISING Miscellaneous varieties of oranges are not so small this year as last. Even sizes of this fruit in comber with those of navels and rubellas were declared by one manager to be the smallest in 25 years. J. H. Ritchie, manager of the Anaheim Coop Ass'n, announced that his organization would start shipping miscellaneous about March 15, but would hold off valencias until May 1, if possible. That is a month later than another packing house expects to begin on valencias. So, Calif., shipped 684 cars of oranges and 155 of lemons in the week closed recently. Florida shipped 508 fewer cars of oranges and 501 more cars of grapefruit this season than last year to this date. On hand now, or estimated as available within the next 30 days will be 197 cars of foreign lemons, compared with 45 last year. Prices on the smaller sized navels are 25 to 50 cents higher than a week ago. Unless weather becomes an adverse factor the market situation is most promising.

Inane with jealousy, John Noles, 50, city employee, shot Mrs. Anna Williams three times and then killed himself with a single bullet WOOD MAY LEAVE RICHARDSON FREE SACRAMENTO, March 2. Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public schools, admitted today he had been offered a similar post Pennsylvania under Gov. Pinchot. "I have been considering the offer for two months," Wood said, "but as yet I have not determined what course to take." In the event Wood accepts administration leaders pointed out today that control of the California school department, for two years an anti-administration stronghold, would pass into the hands of Gov. Wood's successor for the unexpired term of two years would be named by Gov. Richardson and the new superintendent would have the power to remove from office many officials brought by Wood and frankly anti-Richardson in attitude. Sam H. Cohen, deputy state supt., of public instruction, and A. R. Herron, asst. supt., are the two leading officials under Wood who would probably be in line for removal under Richardson control. Both hold office at the pleasure of the superintendent. The president of the seven state teachers colleges will also receive their appointments from superintendent serve for specific terms of four years each but practically all of their terms will expire within two years. Other officers named by the superintendent of public instruction include the presidents of the schools for the deaf and blind and the superintendent of the San Luis Obispo polytechnic school. Wood has been prominently mentioned as a possible candidate for governor against Richardson and his withdrawals from the state political situation would probably have the effort of uniting the progressive forces on the candidacy of Lieut. Gov. Young, according to political observers in the capitol. BID FOR LINERS SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.
