CALIFORNIA SELLS ORANGES
Yes California sells oranges and one of
the reasons for the sale of California
oranges lies on our desk as we write these
lines—a most attractively gotten up broad-
side in three colors printed on expensive
book paper and addressed to the trade of
the United States. Reprinted in this
broadside are the advertisements that are
being spread the country over crying out
the fame of Sunkist oranges and calling
on people of the nation to eat Sunkist
oranges for food and for health.
On the inside first cover page we find
these captions:
“31 MILLION Magazine Advertisements.
“16 MILLION Daily Car Card Adver-
tisements.
“7 MILLION Daily Outdoor Audience.
“Powerful Advertising to Sell More
SUNKIST Seedless Navel Oranges.”
And by further perusal we find that
this season of 1934-1935 will bring the
total Sunkist advertising expenditure well
past the $21000000 mark.
We look the broadside over and find
most attractive reproductions of Sunkist
newspaper and magazine advertisements
pictures of attractive reproductions of
Sunkist newspaper and magazine adver-
tisements pictures of attractive Sunkist
billboards reprints of attractive Sunkist
dealer window’ displays and cuts for in-
sertion in retail newspaper advertisements
of grocery stores.
We find all sorts of dealer helps out-
lined. for jobber retailer and wholesaler
alike. We find suggestion after sugges-
tion for increasing sales of Sunkist oranges
aales arguments and hints w ithout end.
We even see reproduced a window of a
Houston Texas grocery store in which
Sunkist Red Ball oranges are the object
of resistance w-hich window sold 70 box-
es of Red Ball oranges in 5 days right
under the very nose of Rio Grande Valley
orange competition.
And then we start to wondering what
our Valley shippers and growers can be
thinking of—if they really believe they
can build up the citrus fruit industry of
the Valley in face of competition like this!
Wc wonder if they realize that after all
it’s the retailer and the jobber who push
the sales of any commodity and that if
the retailer and the jobber are given
proper help sales follow.
Further do we wonder how many of our
Valley shippers and growers are familiar
with the procedure of their competitors
how many know just what California for
instance is doing to push the sales of Cali-
fornia citrus fruit.
One thing sure they may not know how
California does it but they must kflpw
this:
California Sells Oranges!
AUSTERITY BREAKS DOWN
We generally take it that the British
Parliament is the very home of parliamen-
tary dignity. Other nations including our
own may send sons of the wild jackass to
represent them at their capitol; Britain has
an old tradition under which statesmen
not politicians are elected and the House
of Commons does not witness those wild
and uncouth scenes which make exciting
reading in other seats of government.
This conception however is rudely up-
set by a reading of the recent flurry which
took place in the House of Commons when
a Labor member rose to relieve his mind
on the subject of Prime Minister MacDon-
ald. Here are some of the things the man
said:
“He is a mountebank. He should be
flung and horsewhipped from public life.
He would double-cross his own aunt. He
attained power on the pennies and half
pennies of the people and now he is rob-
bing them. When he dies he will be curs-
ed by millions.’*
Undignified and ill-considered as some of
our own congressional outbursts may be. it
is a long time since any congressman has
attacked the head of his government in
terms as wild as these.
People on Relief Get
More Balanced Diet
By OK. MORRIS USHBtIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical Association
and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
People on relief are getting a better selection of
the right kinds of food for their health than are
many of us who are free to make up our own diets.
The baskets of food distributed to the poor each
month generally contain not only the essential food
requirements in the way of proteins carbo-hydrates
lats mineral salts and vitamins but they also meet
the varying appetites of the different races or groups
of people.
Yet a study of food consumed in restaurants shows
that people buy less of meat potatoes and heavy-
foods and more of desserts
Not only do people on relief get a more wholesome
selection of food but they get It according to their
tastes. Furthermore the mother In each family is
urged to get as much extra fruit vegetables eggs and
milk as she can.
These are necessary for growth and repair of tis-
sue besides providing energy necessary to keep the
body at work.
• • •
In Illinois the relief commission has developed four
standard dietaries planned for seven in each fam-
ily. These arc divided into general southern. Italian
and Jewish classifications.
A certain amount of spaghetti is included m the
dietary for each group but macaroni appears only
in the Italian and general diets and is eliminated
from the southern and Jewish diets. The Italian
group also is allowed much more macaroni as well
as vermicelli.
The general southern and Jewish diets include
two pounds of spaghetti a month whereas the Italian
list includes 15 pounds ot spaghetti a month.
The general diet provides quantities of navy beans
which do not appear in the southern diet. The
Jewish list eliminates pork and beans but does have
a good allowance of lima bean.-^ Moreover the Jew-
ish diet list includes four cans of sardines to three
in the Italian list and two in the southern list.
In contrast to these allowances the southern list
includes four pounds of salt pork. Salt pork does
not appear at all on any of the other diet lists.
Benefit to our nutrition comes not from the foods
that are listed or prescribed or even what is in-
cluded in the basket delivered at the door but from
what is actually eaten. Money spent for food that is
not eaten is. of course wasted.
For tins reason it is necessary to consider the ap-
petites of those to whom the food is served.

NEW YORK. Feb. 11. — The fi-
nancial district has taken the mea-
sure of the new congress.
‘•Conservative’' Is the word. That
is. conservative lor these times.
But increasing debt and infla-
tion still are hurdles.
• • •
Liberals
Liberals are none too happy.
They believe the “conservative”
trend oi the administration bodes no
1 good.
They see extremes coming to body
j blows because of it.
Liberals contend no fundamental
problems are being settled—even the
nostrums (such as the social security
proposals) are “too weak.”
Radicals
Radicals are saying. "We lol<3 you
so. Nothing can be accomplished ex-
: cept by a concentrated attack on
capitalism. There can be no com-
promise.'*
• • •
Conservatives
Conservatives are equally emphatic.
They would stop "all the nonsoise.
and try to recapture the past.
They would balance the budget—
and end the depression through “nor-
i mal business recovery."
• • •
World-Wide
Americans mistake if they believe
these varying thoughts are conl!ined
to the United States.
Perusal of papers and dispatches
from other countries disclose i*uch
the same trend of thought many of
the same expressions from diverse
elements.
Canada England. France all are
observing a conflict of opinions on
the path to the future.
In many other countr.cs. no ex-
pression of thought -is permitted.
People may be thinking neverthe-
less.
Cuba
Cuba is one or the nations where
the will of the people evidently has
been thwarted — and the Uniled
States is blamed.
One American group which has
made a study asserts Cuba under
it* present regime is drifting toward
a dictatorship. "Plunging” would
be a better word since there is cruel
conflict
The United States is blamed be-
cause when Cuba had a government
presumably chosen by the people and
for the people the United States
government made it impossible for
that government to remain. And the
old sort of dictatorship returned on-
der a new name.
Dictatorships it is charged suit
American financial interests who
have large stakes in Cuba.

Child Labor
What is the federal child labpr
amendment which state legislatures
are being asked to ratify and which
has aroused antagonism among some
employers? Here it is:
' Section 1. The congress shall
have power to limit regulate and
prohibit labor of persons under 18
years of age.
"Section 2. The power of the sew.
eral states is unimpaired by this ar-
ticle except that the operation of
state laws shall be suspended to the
extent necessary to give effect to
legislation enacted by congress.”
Incidentally an amendment never
is defeated. When three-fourths of
the states vote to ratify It. no mat-
ter how many years after the resolu-
tion has been submitted to the state*
then It becomes a part of the consti-
tution.

WASHINGTON
By Ira Bennett
Sapping — Breakdown of hopes
and plans has brought the American
Federation of Labor to a crisis. It
has failed to capture control of la-
bor. This failure has caused it to
miss out is dictating terms to the
I government and industry. Intern -
| al pressure personal rivalries check- i
5 mates by industry and now the re-
fusal of the government to regard
the AFL as kingpin of labor are
combining to weaken the federation
and imperil the position of its rival
chieftains.
These falls are now leaking out in
spite or efforts of federation lead-
ers to make a showing of a united
front. The political and industrial
forces that oppose the aims of the
federation are seizing upon the evi-
dences of its weakness to weaken it
still more if possible before the
showdown on reenactment of the
new NBA.
Overplay — President William
Green miscalculated the situation
when lie figured that through en-
actment of Section 7A and discrim-
inatory interpretation of that section
in favor of the federation it would
increase its membership to 10000000
or even 12000000. Por a tune the
administration including Its politi-
cal pilot. James A. Farley believed
that Green was right.
When the failure of the federation
to gain strength at the expected
rate began to dawn upon its leaders
1 and upon Industrial and political
| pilots .subtle changes occurred all
detrimental to the federation- Its
leaders substituted bluff for actual
punch Industrial managers discov-
ered that they dared make a stand
in factories and in court. NR A
chieftains refused to construe Sec-
tion 7A as the federation demanded.
Shop elections revealed that the
federation in some cases was over-
stating Us strngth.
I Gape — The time came for a
showdown on the automobile code.
Alfred f\ Sloan. Jr. and Walter P.
Chrysler advised President Roosevelt
that surrender to the demands of the
federation would be followed by the
shutting down of General Motors
and Chrysler factories on the fol-
lowuig Monday morning. Nothing in
the record warranted a decision by
the president in favor of the fed-
eration. He extended the code. He
was advised to do so by Donald
Richberg. on the showing of facts.
President Green and John L. Lewis
work in harmony for the general
aims of the federation but they are
I at the same time deadly rivals for
ithe dictatorship. Lewis has grad-
ually gained strength at Green’s
.expense. Lewis forced his way into
I the executive committee and the
vice presidency although at present
he is only twelfth in the line of 15
| vice presidents of the federation.
Green h.| held on as an inheritor
'of the gnat system created by Sam-
uel Gompera He now suffers loss
of prestige because of the failure of
the federation to gain membership
as he predicted and also because
politicians and industrialists have
tested oui his generalship and have
found gaps in his armor. They do
not have the fear of him that they
had even six months ago.
Ominous — Both Green and Lewis
savagely attack Richberg for refus-
ing to champion the federation’s
aims wherever they conflict with the
aims of industry. This attack is
not as dangerous as it would have
been a few months ago. Richberg
seems to have sensed the futility of
certain federation aims before AFL
leaders realize dthat they were head-
ed for failure
The federation Is a powerful in-
stitution which has the instinct for
; survival. It can stand a lot of hard
knocks without becoming demoraliz-
ed Its leaders announce that they
will organize the automobile and
steel workers on a big scale. They
clamor for the 30-hour week and for
prevailing wages to relief workers In
the forthcoming work-relief cam-
paign. But ominous signs of dissen-
sion in the inside are evident and
growing defiance of the federation
by politicians and industrial chief-
tains foreshadows a battle royal over
8ection TA.
• • •
Riding* — Politicians in congress
who make It their business to “size
up’* the strength of organizing vot-
ing forces in their respective states
and districts are now recalling that
President Green made a show of
demanding from all candidates in
1934 a pledge that they would stand
by the AFL as the price of their
election. Many candidates side-
stepped and yet were elected. The
so-called “labor vote ’ flailed to
materialize. Wise old Samuel Gom-
Ers discovered years ago that mem-
rs of the AFL could not be regi-
mented at the polls. He abandon-
ed the idea of dictating to politicians
by threats of a "labor vote" that
could not be delivered. The scheme
for formation of a labor party was
squelched by Gompers.
It was a mistake for Green to
hold up the scarecrow in 134. Some
of his rivals are now citing this ex-
ample of false strategy as a reason
why he should be unhorsed. They
are discovering among members of
congress a disposition to Ignore the
demands of the federation. The
young Turks among the unions de-
mand that Green shall listen tb
more aggressive men. But he is In
the saddle for the remainder of his
term and for good or 111 his brand
of leadership will stamp the strategy
of the federation In the erueta)
struggle that now looms up.

. Lobbies — Administration leaders
are beginning to suspect that some
of the fires being stirred up under
pending pieces of New Deal legisla-
tion are stoked by Interests not di-
rectly affected.
They are having a hard Ume put*

put them on their guard. .
There are powerful lobbies at work
m Washington amply supplied with
funds which would like nothing bet-
ter than to see President Roosevelt
forced to fight every step of the
way this session to get hi* major
bills over about as he ordered them.
This would serve to stave off other
legislation still in the offing in which
those lobbies are vitally concerned.
» • •
Safeguard — Roosevelt lieutenants
are confident that eventually the
•4880.000000 work-relief bill will
come out of the wringer with most
of the power the white house asked.
They are finding the job of whip*
ping the necessary votes into line
harder than usual. They anticipate
it will be a still tougher job to steer
the economic security measure
through to safe harbor.
A key Republican senator concedes
privately that FDR can get any bill
of outstanding importance adopted
this session by making it a party is-
sue. The white house has been try-
ing to avoid this. It leaves some-
thing for the opposition to shout
about forevermore if everything
doesn’t pan out as expected.
Meanwhile the 30 senators whose
votes defeated the World Court are
being urged quietly to hold out for
a limitation of the president's public
works power to such subjects as

Mrs. O’CONNOR tilted the lamp

her needle snd thread snd reached
for s large brown button.
••So your fathers better this ev»

Mrs. O’Connor shook her bead

PARLY February brought a
change in weather When Gale
stepped out of tbe bouse Saturday
morning tha sun was shining and
the air was almost spring-like. By
evening there were little pools of
water along the sidewalk where the
Ice bad melted and the ground was
wet.
Next morning tbe sky was cloudy
but tha air was still warm. Gala
had dinner on tha table half an
hour earlier than usual. Later
putt lag dishes into the hot. sudsy
water rubbing them with tht dish
mop. she bummed a little tuia She
waa glad she was going to Mary
Klloran’s this afternoon. It would
bo a 30-minute ride into the conn
try. She waa glad abe could do
something too. to help repay Mrs.
O'Connor for all har kindnesses.
When Gale cams Into the living
room presently wearing bar coat
and bat Tom Henderson was sit-
ting in his favorite chair looking
out on tbs atroet.
Gale said. M!’tp going to taka tbe
bus out to Gates Goutcr now. I'm
‘ sura I’ll be back by S at the latest/*
Tom Henderson leaned forward
and peered up at the eky. “Better
get started” he advised. “Looks
Ilka there might be a storm after
while.”
“Oh. I don’t think sa It’s been
like this all day."
“Might be a storm Just the same."
bar father insisted. “Better take
your umbrella"
Gale meant to. She went back tA
her room to get the umbrella and
then thought of the kitchen door
and went to eee If It was fastened.
It was not until she was on the
bus 20 minutes later riding along
Center Road that ehe remembered
the umbrella again. Gale didn't
think it mattered much that shed
left it The sky looked clearer than
It had when she had left the house.
^ a m
PRESENTLY tbe driver called
* out “Gate* Center* and Gale
stepped down to tbe street Tbere
was no pavement only a beaten
path. Gates Center was nothing
more than a collection of a doseo
houses two stores and a garage at
tbe crossing of Center Road and
tbe state higbway.
Gale found tbe Kllorans’ tiny
home and Mary came to the door.
“Why. Gale Henderson!" she si-
delined. "Where ever did you come
from?"
"Happy birthday! I‘ve brought
you something from your mother.
This big box. She wanted to come
but her rheumatism’s been trou*
bling her lately so she couldn't
And here are some molasses cookies
1 baked this morning. 1 thought
maybe you’d like them—"
Nothing would do out Gale must
come In the bouse and have a cup
of tea. Mary slipped Into tbe new
coat and was delighted.
It was later when Gate arose to
so tban she bad thought The
sky was darker now and a sharp
wind bad risen. Mary came to
the door and called after her.
The 4:30 bus is the last until t
o’clock. Maybe I'd better come
with you—"
Gale shook her bead. “I’ll mska
it all right." she called batk. and
set off tor the crossroads.
Almost as though by prear*
ranged signal the storm broke
then Wet sleet came down with
driving force melting and slip-
ping down inside Gale’a collar.
The wind was cold sad growing
colder. Gale bent ber bead and
ran. The sleet stuag her cheeks
sad blinded ber. Once the slipped
aad almost fell but eba caught
her balance lust in tlma. It was
so dark now that aha could
scarcely see the path.
She ran on and reached tka
