dare to do our duty as we understand it. With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see that right, let us strive Lincoln. VERY COMMENDABLE Note to W. R. Hearst: According to a Covina fertilizer dealer the "Buy American" campaign is taking effect so strongly here that citrus growers prefer to pay up to three dollars a ton more for American made fertilizer.

If the same orange growers would prefer to pay three cents more on the dollar for Covina purchased goods, it would suit us just as well. Just a selfish thought, of course. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Piles of money have been expended recently by the San Gabriel Valley Protective association in an effort, chiefly, to prevent the city of Pasadena from constructing a dam at the Pine Cajnyon site. A good many thousands of dollars of these funds came out of the pockets of residents of Covina and the surrounding territory. It is rumored the dam now under construction at Pine Canyon is being built by the city of Pasadena.

MORE ACTION AND LESS CRYING If more time was spent in an effort to make highways safer, instead of an effort to "view with alarm" the steadily rising total of auto deaths, the tolal might possibly sink. Elimination of such corners as Citrus and Alosta, Citrus and Arroyo, Barranca and Rowland, to name only a few of the intersections nearby which 'have taken their toll in the last two or three years would be a simple and effective means of checking our local fatality list. More intersection traffic patrol, fewer open highway arrests, clear up blind intersections and curves, enforce boulevard stops and traffic deaths will decrease. A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT Now the excitement of the Rose Tournament is over, we look at Miss Dorothy Edwards, queen of the festival and find she has remained unchanged, even in the smallest detail. Credit and honor are both due her for this accomplishment, really a most unusual one.

Honors and tribute have ruined more people than they have made. At the same time, credit and honor go in a still bigger Share to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Merle Edwards, for raising a child of such accomplishment and unusual strength of character as their daughter. The world needs more parents of the type exemplified by Mr.

and Mrs. Edwards. NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW TO CELEBRATE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF NAVEL ORANGE Commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of navel orange groves in California, citrus marketing organizations will participate in the national orange show, to be held at San Bernardino, for the 10 days, February 16 to 26.

Davis, Ford automobile dealer. Davis started here in 1925, when he purchased the business of Pottinger Brothers, which was located in the Weegar building, at the corner of Citrus avenue and School street. In 1930, Mr. Davis moved to his present location, where he installed one of the most modem and complete automotive repair shops to the territory. A short time ago he extended activity to Baldwin Park, fljgmmjng sponsorship of the agency there, furnishing all automobiles, parts, and other supplies to the nearby dealer.

Two of his employees here, Miss Lillian Krebs, bookkeeper, and Harry Gager, shop foreman, have been with Davis since he started business here. Of the three mechanics, Clifford Dodenhoff has been employed for the past six years, Frank Hoard for the last four years, and Hank Adelmeyer for a little more than a year. "Vic" Isaacs, the newest member of the sales force is one of California's veteran automobile men. He has sold cars since his early youth, beginning when wheezy "one lungers" wore the pride the road. During recent years he has worked in the Covina area and has developed an enviable reputation in Southern California sales circles.

Speaking of his current model car, Davis declared, "The Ford V-8 has been by far the most enthusiastically received car in Ford history, and I desire to sincerely thank all local people who have enabled me to make such a success of my seven years in business here."

The making of tractors from old automobiles promises to be more than a pastime with farmers and ranchers in this territory. Many have made first class tractors from old autos which are practically worthless for any other purpose.
