Realtors of County Journey to
 Mesa for Interesting Meeting

Maricopa county realtors who jour neyed to Mesa yesterday for their regular bi-weekly luncheon were treated to one of the best programs of the season, a program that includ- ed a hot weather refreshment fin the form of a plunge. Addresses explain ing the adaptability of Salt River valley lands to grape and citrus fruit culture and discussion of a national advertising plan with a supplemental booster special to California were other features of the meeting
 Arizona oranges are far superior to those of California or Florida. Paul B. Beville, a citrus fruit grower of the Mesa district. told members of the real estate board in an address on orange culture
 Even Californians admit that. and when a Californian admits that the produce of another state is superior to the Golden state product it means that it SO far outclssses it as to leave no basis for comparison he said
 We are told that our trees are light bearers Maybe SO. but our quality eQualizes any shortcomings in quantity By that I mean. our su- perior quality brings better prices for our oranges on the eastern markets than the poor quality oranges of Cali fornia- In consequence. we are not obliged to produce as many to realize equally as big net income
 Orange crops. like any other crop. are subject to climatic conditions. The grower must figure ups and downs, bad years and good years. Heavy frosts are likely to damage the crop at any time. Frosts this year caused much damage among the groves of the valley. My crop will not exceed SO per cent of normal But on the whole. orange groves are prof itable if the right land is selected. do not believe however. that a great deal of land in the valley is suitable for groves.
 The truly remarkable thing about the Arizona orange is it's prestige or the eastern market It Is knowr throughout the East for It's superior quality and it's demands top price wherever sold"

Ex-RuIEH GAY IN EXILE

An application for admission to me bership signed Ferdinand, Dr. Phil" (doctor of philosophy, was favorably acted upon by the rifle club of Coburg. capital of the former duchy of Coburg. which was incor porated last year in Bavaria
 The signature is that of ex-Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who was a prince of Coburg and was serving with the Austrian army s4 years ago when he was elected prince by the sobranje (parliamenO of the then principality of Bulgaria.
 While he was on the Bulgarian throne the University of Budapest conferred upon Ferdinand the hon orary title of doctor of philosophy for political reasons.
 Fleeing from Bulgaria he reached Coburg by special train two years and half ago, and has lived ever since in the city, where he passed the greater part of his early youth and where his parents are buried.
 Always an egotist and shrewc business man, Ferdinand utilized hi: official knowledge of European pol tiles in his dealings on the stock ex- changes of Vienna, Berlin and Lon don, amassing a great fortune, tt which he added four years ago 50, e00, 900 francs, the price paid by Ger. many for Bulgaria's entrance into tn war on the side of the central powers | Soon after his arrival in Coburg Ferdinand bought the former winte palace of Ernst H., the summer pai ace of the late Duchess Maria am | the former ducal gardens
 He contributes freely to the main tenance fund of the state theatel
