HERE'S GLADSOME NEWS FOR APPLE GROWER Hard Cider is Not Affected by the Prohibition Act. Hard cider is not taboo under the wartime prohibition act, or constitutional prohibition, according to John P. Carter, collector of internal revenue. This gladsome news, imparted to an apple grower from the Yucaipa-Beaumont-Banning apple belt, caused a happy smile to encompass the face of the orchardist who asked Mr. Carter for a direct ruling. It will be welcomed by many other apple growers. There's just one little condition to this ruling of Uncle Sam, as given out through Mr. Carter. It is this: Nothing must be done to put a "kick" in cider. It must be left to nature to do that. And when, through the natural course of fermentation, it has become "hard," nothing must be done to hold it in that condition. It is evident, because of this condition that "when the bead is on the cider" and it's just right, it must be put where it will do the most good without delay. Otherwise it will continue on its course and become vinegar. It has been a habit with manufacturers of cider to use alcohol as soon as the cider becomes "hard" to hold it in that condition. This, of course, is illegal under the new law. "You may continue to drink hard cider." Collector Carter told his visitor, "no matter if it possesses a kick like deer old applejack. It is all right." PARLOR AND GELLAR SOCIALISTS William Allen White, in resenting the attack upon the Wilson administration for crowding the government payroll with socialists, declares, in effect, that about all good men are socialists. He writes: "Any man who dreams of a better world, in which human beings are able to endure honest politics, which by the way they can't endure now, and hopes to see a time when honest government shall perform services that are now performed for profit, is a Fabian socialist, though he may be astounded to know it." This statement is so nonsensical that it seems impossible that it was written by the man who made himself famous in a night by that great common sense editorial outburst on the subject: "What's the Matter with Kansas?" at a time when what was the matter with Kansas was exactly what ails the socialists. It means, of course, that William Allen White is himself now a socialist. The claim resulting from his socialistic state of mind, that all men who dream of a better world are socialists of any variety is preposterously untrue. It is not true that socialists in general are any more altruistic than Republicans or Democrats in general, or that they have any truer love of humanity or a more anxious desire to secure a better order of human affairs. The differences between socialists and non-socialists, with all the socialist affection of higher uplift aspirations, have to do with means, not with ends. Socialism must be judged not by its letariat." The sentence in this article refers to colleges and some reason that his right to care institutions has resented instruction san propaganda from many a parlor socialists. Idle rich, who and excitement socialistic sobs inexperiences into thing of any work covers of the day.

The Farm Bureau and Agriculture Department of the Fellerton Union High School has arranged for an interesting and valuable short course of lectures and demonstration on agriculture and walnut growing, covering the most important phases of these industries, to be given Dec. 16-19. Some of these lectures will be given in the field and others in the auditorium of the Fullerton Union High School. Farm Advisor Wahlberg and Instructor Alcorn of the school are endeavoring to make this course of the highest practical bearing and only the real field problems will be discussed. It is hoped that the citrus and walnut men of Orange county will take advantage of all these lectures. The interest taken at these meetings will determine whether or not it will be a permanent annual feature of the Farm Bureau work. The following is a tentative program. It is expected that other subjects will be added by popular request. Tuesday, Dec. 16—2:00 p.m., Dr. Shamel, "Bud Selection." 7:30 p.m., Dr. I. G. McBoth, "Furrow Manuring." It is not true that socialists in general are any more altruistic than Republicans or Democrats in general, or that they have any truer love of humanity or a more anxious desire to secure a better order of human affairs. The differences between socialists and non-socialists, with all the socialist affection of higher uplift aspirations, have to do with means, not with ends. Socialism must be judged not by its high professions of good intention, but by the common sense basis of the practical means it proposes of attaining a better social order. The country has been pretty well fed up during the past few years on the broken down programs of rhetorical theorists who have been pretending that they were going to do this, that and the other thing for our betterment, only to lead us into the swamps of despair. There we long for the solid ground we were induced to leave with the promise of an equal division of the jack-pot at the end of the rainbow just across the bog. Socialism means something more definite than beautiful dreams of the millennium or it doesn't mean anything at all. This is not a world merely of words and of dreams. We have had enough words and enough dreams during the past few years to make this country a New Jerusalem if real statesmanship were nothing more than big talk about big programs, as some people seem to imagine. There are fifty-seven kinds of socialists, of course, and one of the difficulties about arguing with any socialist, either Fabian or direct actionist, is that he is always ready, when cornered, to disavow anything anybody else has said or written on the subject and claim the right to invent a socialism of his own. But the cellar socialists and the parlor socialists have this in common with each other, and with the bolshevists, I. W. W.'s and other less highly polished revolutionaries: namely, they believe in the political ownership and operation of industry. The political operation and ownership of industry means the creation of a master state, which, like Prussia, is supreme over the minds and bodies of its slave citizens. It means the paralysis of human initiative, the size colleges and institutions which are furthering society long we may exo to grow rapidly. Americans who remain America, to see it wrecked mentation, should the forces which waged the fight United States. Above all, it is analyse such st William Allen W merely a love of the beautiful.

The following is a tentative program. It is expected that other subjects will be added by popular request. Tuesday, Dec. 16—2:00 p.m., Dr. Shamel, "Bud Selection." 7:30 p.m., Dr. I. G. McBeth, "Furrow Manuring." 8:15 p.m., Dr. I. G. McBeth, "Commercial Fertilizers." Wednesday, Dec. 17—2:00 p.m., Dr. Reed, "Pruning Citrus and Walnuts." 7:30 p.m., Dr. L. D. Eatchelor, "Walnut Culture." Thursday, Dec. 18—2:00 p.m., Drs. Fackett and Barnett, "Scaly Bark and Guarnosis." 7:30 p.m., Prof. H. J. Quayle, "Funigation and Codling Moth." Friday, Dec. 19—2:00 p.m., Prof. R. S. Valle, "Cover Crops." 3:00 p.m., Prof. R. E. Smith, "Walnut Diseases." 7:30 p.m., Dr. I. G. McBeth, "Orachard Heating." The War Department only gave "conscientious objectors" who refused to fight, to work or to wear the uniform of this country, their full pay "from date of enlistment" and an honorable discharge. It's not enough; they should have demanded D. S. Ms. Senator Phelan, Democrat, of California, rebuked Senator Williams, Democrat, of Mississippi, for a tirade of abuse against the Irish. The difference, he said, between Mississippi and Ireland was that Ireland rebelled for freedom while Mississippi rebelled for slavery. Up-to-date, the response of Senator Williams has been inaudible. But both the Fabian socialist and the direct action socialist derive their philosophy from the same source. Karl Marx wrote the bible for all sorts of socialists, and the Marx creed is just as odious and as dangerous when preached by an idealistic college professor or cloistered preacher or professional literary man as when it is expounded by an unwashed and bewhiskered bolshevik from a soap box on the New York East Side. Indeed the cellar socialist is much more admirable than the parlor socialist. He, at least, believes what he is saying, and is not merely posing for the admiration he expects to get on account of espousing some revolutionary program that might get him reputation for being the friend of "the pro- the Placentia Mutton "started some Courier.

The millennium here until the Recession full day's work for SOCIALISTS representing the adminismentation in this country are many of the colleges and universities. For some reason the socialist thinks it is his right to carry on propaganda in institutions that are supposed to represent instruction and not mere partisan propaganda such as is handed out from many a college rostrum. The parlor socialists are of several kinds: idle rich, who are seeking notoriety and excitement; journalists, who find socialistic sob stuff easy to market in the magazines and newspapers, and inexperiences idealists who know nothing of any world that lies outside the covers of the dictionary. Those Americans who really believe in this country and its institutions and who do not want to see them Europeanized have been entirely too good natured in their tolerant attitude toward these various breeds of socialist propagandists. We are now beginning to reap the harvest of their sowing in a condition which threatens the very safety of this republic. These preachers of class-hatred, of expropriation and or class rule have sown the wind and we are beginning to reap the whirlwind. So long as the non-socialists of this country continue to patronize colleges and churches and publications which are primarily engaged in furthering socialist propaganda, so long we may expect that propaganda to grow rapidly. It is high time that Americans who want their country to remain America, and who do not wish to see it wrecked by socialist experimentation, should take a stand against the forces which have so persistently waged the fight for socialism in the United States. WILL FLOOD AMERICA WITH RED LITERATURE Revolutionary Agitators Preparing for Active Campaign. Revolutionary agitators are awaiting the ratification of the peace treaty to launch a great campaign for the overthrow of the government, according to information in the possession of the department of justice. Attorney General Palmer and Postmaster General Burleson were preparing to urge congress to pass laws to suppress revolutionary agitation after the ratification of the peace treaty. The espionage law and parts of the trading with the enemy act under which the department is now prosecuting "Reds" will become ineffective with the ratification of peace. Vast amounts of Bolshevik and other radical literature are being held for importation into the United States upon the ratification of the peace treaty, the department of justice has learned. The writing of foreign radicals are rapidly being adopted by domestic agitators, officials declared today, and ammunition of this sort is now ready for shipment to the United States when the trading with the enemy act becomes ineffective. Most of this literature preaches the "dictatorship of the proletariat," it is charged. Radical foreign language papers are preparing to publish articles unimical to the form of government of the United States, and urging the precipi- The Hills asserted they were unable to locate Garvey, either in Los Anpeles, at an address they had obtained, or at the Hotel Astor, in New York City, where they had been told, they claimed, Garvey might be reached. They set forth that they had sent a notice of recission of contract to both addresses. The plaintiffs' alleged damages of $500 were caused through their efforts to locate the defendant. HOME AGAIN FROM ACROSS THE SEA Charley McAulay Spending a Few Days with the Home Folks. After having seen a goodly portion of the world as an electrician on the Great Northern, one of the swiftest vessels afloat, Charley McAulay came in Sunday from San Francisco on a short visit to his Anaheim friends. Charley enlisted in the navy during the war, and after several months' study at Mare Island was assigned to the Great Northern, then in government service as a transport. He made seven round trips from New York to Brest, and got a five-day shore leave on the last trip which enabled him to see something of France—especially gay Paree. He was discharged from the service on reaching New York on the last trip, the ship having been turned back to its owners. He went with the Great Northern into civilized life. It was sent to the Pacile, going through the big ditch, its home port now being San Francisco. It's first trip after reaching size colleges and churches and publications which are primarily engaged in furthering socialist propaganda, so long we may expect that propaganda to grow rapidly. It is high time that Americans who want their country to remain America, and who do not wish to see it wrecked by socialist experimentation, should take a stand against the forces which have so persistently waged the fight for socialism in the United States. Above all, it is time to take up and analyse such statements as that of William Allen White that socialism is merely a love of the true, the good and the beautiful. Despite the claims of so many of its modern proponents, socialism is something more than altruism, and the truth is that the alleged altruism of socialism is merely the camouflage under which hide socialists who have not the courage to come out for their real program. The socialist seeks to Prussianize the United States by making the people the property of the state and the state the property of the politicians. But the American socialist does not even offer us the efficiency of Prussian state socialism; witness the break down of our transportation lines under political management. The end of the route down which he would lead us is in the hell on earth the socialists have, to the music of high sounding phrases and noble affectations led the unhappy people of Russia. PLACENTIÀ TO HAVE NEW PACKING HOUSE One of the Finest Houses in State Soon to be Built. Last Tuesday the stockholders of the Placentia Mutual Orange Association "started something," says the Courier. They started the building of what will be the biggest establishment in the town, and one of the biggest and finest citrus packing houses in the state. It will also be, for a time at least, the most modern and complete, for nothing that will add to convenience or efficiency will be omitted. Shepard & Hamm of Pasadena will charge of the construction on a time ammunition of this sort is now ready for shipment to the United States when the trading with the enemy act becomes ineffective. Most of this literature preaches the "dictatorship of the proletariat," it is charged. Radical foreign language papers are preparing to publish articles inimical to the form of government of the United States, and urging the precipitation of the new era, the department of justice has learned. More than 50 new radical publications have appeared within the past few weeks, according to officials, and these are devoted to anarchy and communism. These publications are now operating under cover, but will come into the open with the end of the espionage act, it was stated today. Reports have reached the department of justice of a new paper by the I. W. W., under the name of Der Klassenkamp, or Class Struggle, and published in the German language. CHARGES FRAUD IN SECURING OIL LEASE Frank Hill and Wife File Suit for Damages. Alleged fraudulent representations on the part of James Garvey, claimed to have been made by him to induce the plaintiffs to sign an oil lease, were the basis of a suit which was on file today in Superior Court, and through which Frank F. Hill and his wife, Kate L. Hill, will seek damages of $500 and to quiet title to property northeast of Anaheim, located in the district near the Heffern well. It was recited in the complaint that on June 11, of this year Garvey came to the residence of the plaintiffs and told them that a corporation had been formed and was ready to begin drilling for oil on property adjoining the plaintiffs' property. Garvey told the Hills, they set forth in their complaint, that the corporation had leased all the lands surrounding their property. Further, the plaintiffs asserted, Garvey told them the law of California prohibits the sinking of an oil well within 300 feet of a well already started, and that unless the Brest, and got a five-day shore leave on the last trip which enabled him to see something of France—especially gay Paree. He was discharged from the service on reaching New York on the last trip, the ship having been turned back to its owners. He went with the Great Northern into civilized life. It was sent to the Pacific, going through the big ditch, its home port now being San Francisco. It's first trip after reaching Pacific waters was from Frisco to Vladivostok, carrying 1700 troops for the Siberian or Russian war. It made a five-day trop at Honolulu, where Charley mingled with the natives and added to his stock of information. At Vladivostok they found the city quarantined on account of a cholera epidemic. The boys could not land, but they exchanged their cargo of fresh troops for a cargo of exhausted ones, and sailed for Hong Kong. Shore leave was granted at this cosmopolitan port, and Charley again added to his stock of information by taking in everything worth seeing in the beautiful city. Manila was also a way station on the ship's pathway, but this city was also quarantined; consequently shore leave was not permitted. Another stop was made at Honolulu on the way home. Charley gathered up a large stock of relics and pictures on his trips, and brought home a Hong Kong canary in a Chinese bamboo cage. He will return to Frisco in a day or two. CONSERVING GAS To bring about the conservation of natural gas so as to insure the continuance of an adequate and proper supply of gas generally throughout Southern California the Railroad Commission Friday determined to under- the Placentia Mutual Orange Association "started something," says the Courier. They started the building of what will be the biggest establishment in the town, and one of the biggest and finest citrus packing houses in the state. It will also be, for a time at least, the most modern and complete, for nothing that will add to convenience or efficiency will be omitted. Shepard & Hamm of Pasadena will charge of the construction on a time and material basis, and will employ local help and sub-let to local people as far as they can. The work of excavation will be commenced next week. The new building will measure 100x237 feet. It will be built close to the Santa Fe tracks, on the west side of Melrose, with an artistic colonial front facing east. The construction will be of steel, concrete and hollow tile. Every approved mechanical feature will be installed; three big sweat rooms will be built into the basement, and the offices and rest rooms will be fitted with the best of everything. The new house will be used for oranges only and the Association's present quarters will be used as a lemon house. We congratulate the members of the "P. M." on their enterprise and the town for its good fortune in possessing the finest citrus house in the state. At Tuesday's meeting the stockholders also voted to increase the Association's capital stock from $50,000 to $150,000. The millennium will not really be here until the Reds begin advocating a full day's work for a full day's pay. Garvey told the Hills, they set forth in their complaint, that the corporation had leased all the lands surrounding their property. Further, the plaintiffs asserted, Garvey told them the law of California prohibits the sinking of an oil well within 300 feet of a well already started, and that unless the plaintiffs would at once lease their land to him for the corporation the latter would immediately begin drilling a sufficient number of wells close to the boundaries of the plaintiffs' property as to make it impossible for anyone to drill an oil well on the holdings of the plaintiffs. The lease presented by Garvey, it was recited, was the same as leases obtained by him for the corporation from the Hills' neighbors, a woman named Von Wedelstaedt and a man named McIntyre. The Hills, they alleged in the complaint, asked, but were refused, a day in which to consider the matter. Garvey told them, it was alleged, that he had an important directors' meeting to attend, and that the Hills would have to make up their minds at once. The plaintiffs recited that at the time they were inexperienced in business matters, that they were unfamiliar with oil leaves, and that they believed all of Garvey's statements. The Hills signed the lease, they declared. The representations of Garvey, it was set out, "were false, fraudulent and untrue," and he knew it. The terms, said the complaint, were unfair and unconscionable and the plaintiffs, they asserted, received no consideration for signing the lease. tated they were unsurvey, either in Los address they had obHotel Astor, in New they had been told, vey might be reachthat they had sent vision of contract to alleged damages of through their efdefendant.
