ORANGE COUNTY W. C. T. U. MEET AT FULLERTON Rev. C. B. Hatch Delivers Address on Prohibition Vivitory The Orange County W. C. T. U. executive meeting was held yesterday at Fullerton in the Christian church, with a splendid representation from all over the county. The keynote of the meeting was rejoicing over the victory for prohibition, and telegrams were sent to Walter Eden and S. C. Evans, Assemblyman and Senator from Southern California, telling them of the appreciation felt because of their votes for the ratification of the national prohibition amendment. Two cards were read from two French orphans who are being supported by the County W. C. T. U. The County W. C. T. U. voted to purchase a flag for the Detention Home at Santa Ana. A resolution to be sent to the Legislature recommending to have a Frances E. Willard Day was passed by the executive body. One of the most important actions taken by the W. C. T. U. of Southern California, was the making of a Home Center for Girls, which will be established at Temperance Temple in Los Angeles, where girls can be properly taken care of instead of having to be placed in the jail with criminals. Each county is to furnish funds for the furnishing of a room, the money for this purpose to be sent through the local and county treasurer. Lunch was served in the church dining room by the ladies of the church. At 1:30 P. M. the president called the meeting to order and Rev. Clark, pastor of the Methodist church of Fullerton, led the devotional services. Rev. Hatch, pastor of the Presbyterian Highway Transportation Company wants to operate Express Line The hearing in the matter of application of Highway Transportation Company for permit to operate express line between Los Angeles and Santa Ana, was continued to February 5, 1919, at 2 P.

Bergey was appointed constable of Huntington Beach township, and George A. Clark was appointed constable of San Juan township. The application of S. H. Overacker to lay a tile drain across the county road at southeast corner of northeast one-quarter of northeast one-quarter, section 29-5-10, was granted. The purchasing agent was authorized to arrange for a telephone at the county park, with an extension phone for pay station. The petition of C. E. Lavering, et al., for a county road in the second road district, to be known as Slater avenue, was granted.

The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase law books for the district attorney. N. T. Edwards, supervisor of the 4th district, was given a leave of absence from the state for twenty days beginning January 29, 1919. The county clerk was ordered to advertise for bids for the improvement of Edinger street, said bids to be opened on February 18, 1919, at 10 A.M.

Porter, who is filling the pulpit of the Christian church at Fullerton at the present time, and who was formerly pastor of the Christian church at Salem, Oregon, gave up his work in this country and went over to France, where he was in the midst of the world's greatest work, and who spoke of his work in the hospitals and other religious work he was engaged in during the war. The ladies of the Ebell Club of Fullerton, were the guests of the W. C. T. U. to hear this speaker. A resolution of thanks was given the Fullerton union for its splendid entertainment. MALIGNER OF HIS COUNTRY Henry Ford's new weekly, the Dearborn Independent, declares its sympathy with Trotzky's denunciation of the United States as a plutocratic oligarchy engaged in crushing the life out of the proletariat. It declares that "the chief impetus to bolshevism came from individuals who had passed under the touch of America and went away unregenerate. It is appalling to think that the man Trotzky lived in our cities, nearly starved in the midst of our magnificence, and left our shores with such impressions of our life and liberty as permitted him to believe the very worst about our participation in the war." Our workers, declares Ford's paper, are treated like chattels. Our form of government is responsible for the poverty of the New York East Side. Not surprising, therefore, opines Comrade Ford, that the Russians preferred the "political despotism to the old land to the dollar despotism of this." Mr. Ford, who confesses his ignorance taken care of instead of having to be placed in the jail with criminals. Each county is to furnish funds for the furnishing of a room, the money for this purpose to be sent through the local and county treasurer.

OPERATORS' LICENSES If you drive an automobile or a motorcycle on any public highway in the State of California, you are required by law to secure a license before doing so. There are two forms of such licenses. They are—operators' licenses and chauffeurs' licenses. An operator's license is required if every person who operates a motor vehicle on the highways except the person who operates an automobile in the transportation of persons and who receives any compensation for such services or who carries passengers for hire. Thus every owner of an automobile who expects to drive his own car, and every member of his family who expects to drive the car should secure an operator's license. These licenses are issued by the State Motor Vehicle Department on application. No fee is charged therefor but 25 cents is charged for duplicate licenses in case of loss or destruction of the original. These licenses are good for one calendar year and must be renewed annually. Minors may be licensed, but if the applicant is under 18 years of age, his or her parent or guardian must join in the application by signing the same and agree to be responsible for any damage caused by the minor's negligence in driving. The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase law books for the district attorney. N. T. Edwards, supervisor of the 4th district, was given a leave of absence from the state for twenty days beginning January 29, 1919. The county clerk was ordered to advertise for bids for the improvement of Edinger street, said bids to be opened on February 18, 1919, at 10 A.M. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant for $300 in favor of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce, for maintenance of exhibit, said warrant to be paid out of the advertising fund. The clerk was instructed to send the state highway commission recommendation of grand jury as to conditions just outside of city limits on North Main street, Santa Ana, also as to placing shoulders to highway below Irvine. The county clerk was instructed to advertise for sale five cows and five heifers, said sale to be made at public auction on February 3, 1919, at 10 A.M., at the county park.

Supp cent from part of argument Mr. Ford, who confesses his ignorance and lack of interest in American politics, fails to say that there can be no government in this country which is not the creation of the people themselves, to whom every legislative and administrative office holder must return periodically for a renewal of his public authority. How can there be a "despotism" for any great length of time in a nation in which every wielder of public authority must get his warrant from the people, and where the fundamental rights of the individual are protected in the Constitution's bill of rights? Mr. Ford bears false witness against his country, not, in all probability out of malice or disloyalty, but out of an unlimited supply of ignorance as to American institutions which has made him such a political blank that he says he has never voted except on occasions when he has been led to the polls by some relative and told what to do. That he can do a vast amount of harm by telling the ignorant and the vicious that the American government is worse than the Russian government in the days of the Czar is true; that he can never do any good by misrepresenting American institutions and appealing to the most ignorant class hatred is certain. How does Henry know that when he gets the bolshevik busy hanging the plutocrats he may not be the first multimillionaire up for elimination? A chauffeur's license is as the name indicates, a license issued to any person who drives an automobile for the transportation of persons for hire. Such a license is issued upon application and the payment of a $2.00 fee. A badge is issued with the license which must be affixed to the clothing of the chauffeur in a conspicuous place at all times when he is operating an automobile for hire on the public highway. In case of loss of the original, a duplicate badge is issued for $1.00, or duplicate certificate for 50 cents. These licenses are valid only during the calendar year in which they are issued. It is a violation of the law for a person to drive a machine as an operator without an operator's license, or as a chauffeur without a chauffeur's license. An agent of the Bureau of Fisheries, S. F.

Printed constanship, and printed constanship in economics route commodity prices on the down road towards pre-war normal levels. We are inclined to look for a lowering in the general average of commodity prices. The downward trend will be sharper and the route longer with the stopping point near old levels for those commodities whose production was stimulated by war to points above the natural expansion needed to meet the normal increase of consuming requirements. There are other commodity classifications that have enjoyed heavy war demands but which have not been produced in abnormal quantities. These will probably react less feverishly while the classification known as "non-essentials" or "luxuries" may suffer very little "back lash," if any. As time has worked away from the close of other war periods, it has registered a year or more before the business of those epochs flowed through their old channels, and while the organization of the present world may be capable of a smoother adaptation to after-the-war chills and fever, it must be remembered that the mechanism of the organization is more complicated and requires greater skill to actuate. During the coming year, we look for the physical volume of general business to be much below what it had slipped to last year from its peak of 1916, but our expectations refer solely to supervisory counsels for the differing lines of business activity are able men with training and experience and are selected in a way to balance the board from all angles of the particular activity they supervise. In the opinion of E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, both the persecution of the railroads and the government control of them are unsound methods. A much better way—a remedy in fact for both the unfair depletion of their earnings, brought about by past legislation and the bad influences bound to accrue from political incompetencies in handling them as government properties—would be the abandonment of the spirit of mutual mistrust between them and the people, the creation of a federal railroad board composed of three or perhaps better yet, five able men; these men to be well paid and vested with supreme veto powers but completely shorn of the initiative. The Sherman law—never intended in the beginning to apply to the railroads—should be repealed, then the railroads returned to private ownership to be operated under the supervision of this federal railroad board and the profits divided in a just proportion between the owners and the government. Mr. Ripley points out the importance of this railroad board being non-political and the members removable by impeachment only. He believes that cooperation was the one force that made victory possible and is the only element that can make peace within our industrial organism possible. If the crime, bloodshed and sorrow of the past four years was necessary in order that the world could be confronted with the ministry of co-operation, then let us practice its precepts thoroughly in all walks of life embodying not alone the letter but the spirit in our every day activities. The price MAKING PROVISION FOR RETURNING SOLDIERS State Committee Will Look After Jobs and Land For Settlement Governor Stephens recently announced to a group of press representatives the measures which the administration advocates for handling the soldier employment situation. The governor's plan is twofold: The first phase is the appointment of a state committee on soldier employment and readjustment to consist of nine members without pay with an appropriation of $50,000 for expenses. "This committee," the Governor said, "will go into every county in the state and avail itself of the organizations already existing there or create new ones for the purpose of seeing that each county places its own returned soldiers or any others that may come, in good positions. "The committee will avail itself of every possibility to effect an immediate solution. The committee will be appointed as soon as the bill is made law." The second phase of the plan calls for the extension of the state land settlement system for putting soldiers on state farming tracts. "This plan was first put into operation at Durham and has been in operation two years," said the governor. "Now a bill has been introduced appropriating $1,000,000 for this patriotic purpose and another has been introduced authorizing the issuance of $10,000,000 in bonds to extend the system—all with the thought of doing by these men as they did by us. "The state also has undertaken to provide employment and give preference to returning soldiers on the public highways should any make application.

The shackles on the financial market, forged by the capital issues committee, fell away on December 31st and will not be replaced unless conditions warrant it. The new secretary of the treasury, Glass, in announcing the suspension of the committee's operations, took occasion to warn the public of the need for continued strict economy and the avoidance of dealing in securities which had only a speculative value. If operations in worthless securities become unduly competitive with government financing, or if any other reason in the discretion of the committee comes up, it will resume control, retaining it until dissolved by the president or the operation of law. As the war demand for artificially supported exchange ceases, and ships become generally more available, sales to our present European customers will probably fall away, for their own ships will be looking for a longer haul than our ports permit. On the other hand, American producers, supported by our great supply of shipping, will seek markets for their goods in the more undeveloped portions of the globe—South America and the Asiatic countries for example, to whom we are in debt. The result of this will be a lessening of the lead that our balance of merchandise exports now holds over imports. Because Mr. Gompers was led to declare that labor in peace would maintain its gains of the war period, capital should not feel justified in coming forth with equally pointed and contradictory utterances. Capital and labor both will do well to assimilate the war lesson of co-operation. In doing so, their relations will gain the attitudes respectively of the intelligent buyer and the mature seller of merchandise, and the utility in the commodity called labor will be recognized, for after all, utility or service is the justifiable ground for satisfactory exchange in all lines. Suppose living costs fell 50 percent from present levels, what manner of argument could put justice or even peachment only. He believes that cooperation was the one force that made victory possible and is the only element that can make peace within our industrial organism possible. If the crime, bloodshed and sorrow of the past four years was necessary in order that the world could be confronted with the ministry of co-operation, then let us practice its precepts thoroughly in all walks of life embodying not alone the letter but the spirit in our every day activities. The price which America alone has paid for the unfoldment of co-operation is as profitable an investment as she ever made. During the two months that have passed since the signing of the armistice, the process in the unfoldment of facts about the war has been rapid. Stories are rampant of the new standard of fighting wits exhibited by American sailors and soldiers—of the quick and thorough co-ordination of our industries to the purpose of a speedy victory over frightfulness, of the results of our inventive genius and of the new conception of man's relation to his fellow man—yet, from all this recital of initiative, undertaking, suffering and growth, one vital fact has been omitted. That fact is that Germany, from the very beginning of the war, was the least prepared of all the nations of the earth affected by the struggle. She had but one accomplishment. She trained for half a century along one line alone. Through psalm and schoolbook, she bragged and boasted of her one prowess—militarism—then in its supreme test, which came at the time of her own appointing, she "caved in," a broken military hull, padded with crime. Germany had not diversified. She believed solely in military control and developed no other influences to stabilize her. She kept her people in ignorance. One set of men, trained to reason in a single direction did the thinking for the Empire. These men crushed the peoples' ability to think and taught them that God's Kingdom came through might instead of love. They bred desire to selfishness and it farrowed Bolshevism, the beast that is now devouring its creators. Popular education is the armor of America against these "offals" of Prussianism. Its so-called principles and reasonless prejudices cannot propagate in the light of learning. They do not fascinate people with tendencies toward a desire for education. WM. A. DOLAN, President. Upon his return from San Francisco, after attending a meeting of the Liberty Loan chiefs of the Pacific coast, in that city, with Lewis B. Franklin, director of the United States War Loan Organization, Chairman Henry S. McKee, of the Southern California Liberty Loan Committee, stated that although the rate of interest and the exemption features of the Fifth Liberty Loan are not yet known, it is generally agreed that the bonds will be of short maturity and that the size of the loan will be as large as the Fourth, which was for six billions. Chairman McKee further stated that the new Victory Loan is expected to come in April and in explaining the reasons for the loan, said it would pay the cost of saving the lives of more than one-half million American boys and thousands of our allies. "Everyone prefers to pay for prevention, especially when it saves five hundred thousand lives, and that is why there will be one more Liberty Loan," was Mr. McKee's statement. "No one was planning on the Germans quitting in 1918 instead of taking the knock-out punch in 1919. All our preparations were made for a great 1919 finale. The Germans in the front line had discovered the unbeatable fighting qualities of our men, but it took something more stupendous to move the German general staff. Before even American officers were aware of the facts that American production had produced, ready for 1919, ten tons of gas for every ton the Germans could make; a tank for every seventy-five feet of the fighting front; batteries of small and large guns by the thousands; aeroplanes in the same proportion; the German general staff had full information about this American dose that they would be forced to swallow within a very short time, with the result that they quit, realizing that their game was up, and thus saving their lives of hundreds of MIXED CHRISTMAS BOXES A letter dated December 22, from George McCoy, of Olive, who is in the Signal Corps in France, acknowledges receipt of his Christmas box, but from his acknowledgment, it is plain that his box as well as some others were subjected to too much inspection. He received some things that were not originally in his box and most things that were originally in his box he did not get. The only article he had asked to have included in his box was a pair of bed slippers, but he only received one slipper. He says of it: "Ma, the slipper was dandy and much nicer than I wanted, but what in the name of sense did you expect me to do with one slipper? Evidently someone slipped." He also says he don't know who to thank for each article as no name was on any of the articles. It seems that after the boxes had stood the inspection at the local Red Cross, the contents of several boxes were jumbled all up together and some things jammed back permiscuously in the boxes. Probably some other received that extra slipper and wrote his mother, saying: "Ma, that bed slipper was dandy, and just what I wanted, but what ever gave you the impression that I only had one foot?" BUSINESS MAY GO ON AS USUAL Industrial opportunities in Michigan are day by day more alluringly revealed. Charles M. Grow, 70 years old, has for 50 years prepared a mixture of sugar and soda and sold it as a medicine in many Michigan towns, charging $10 for a month's treatment, the cost of which was, perhaps, 25 cents. Grow was arrested the other day, following the death of Ora de Long, who had been consuming quantities of the medicine. Examination proved, however, that De Long had died of natural causes, and officially confirmed Grow's claim that his medicine is entirely "harmless." All obstacles to the development of this industry on a large scale are thus removed—Detroit News.

The object of the bill is to save money by centralizing the purchasing machinery for all rural schools of an entire county. "Such a law," said Mr. Mitchell, "would undoubtedly be of some benefit to counties of small population; and by the same token it might be of benefit to small school districts in counties of large population. But it would probably be of little benefit to Orange county, where most of the districts are large enough to enable them to buy in large quantities and thus secure as low prices as the county purchasing agent could secure." Continuing, Mr. Mitchell said the same bill was up two years ago and it has been discussed at the state convention of school superintendents, receiving the endorsement of some and meeting the opposition of others. Mr. Mitchell's personal opinion is that on the whole it would probably be a good law. Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent, said it seemed to him that such a law could not fail to be of benefit—that the county purchasing agent in most counties would naturally be more familiar with sources of supply and methods of securing lowest prices than the average school trustees in country districts; and that certainly there would be economy in purchasing in the largest possible quantities. It is believed that kerosene was first used in war. BIG ORDER PLACED FOR CALIFORNIA BEANS Government Wants Forty-Seven Car Loads of Our Limas The government has given the California 'Lima Boan Growers' Association an order for 2,860,000 pounds of lima beans for immediate delivery. This order is for a minimum of 47 carloads. Manager Churchill, of the association, wired Monday from Chicago that he had sold there 15 carloads of limas. This makes a minimum of 62 carloads of limas sold by the association this week. Word that the government had given the order to the association was received by telephone Saturday by W.C. Jerome, of Santa Ana, one of the directors of the association. The message came by telephone from the Oxnard office of the association. A few days ago it was announced that the government was going to make some big purchases of limas, and for a time there seemed to be a question as to where that order would go. Jerome was informed that the price to be paid by the government is 10.15 cents per pound f. o. b. on the Pacific Coast. There will be no brokerage charges to be paid. "These orders bring the association sales to date to a normal sales condition," said Jerome Monday morning. Jerome feels quite sure that the government is going to buy other large quantities of beans soon. He understands that the purchase of 2,860,000 pounds announced is for the navy.
