A MODERN CARPETBAGGER The serious mention of the name of Herbert Hoover as a Presidential possibility is one of the unexplicable political phenomena with which the American voter is frequently regaled. Mr. Hoover was practically unheard of in this country until the European war furnished his vehicle of publicity. He did yeoman service in handling the Belgian relief work, and from his office in London came to America to supervise the production and distribution of our food supplies. Whether he executed that commission efficiently or not is beside the question. The fact remains that practically the only act of Mr. Hoover's life that identifies him with America is his work for the food commission. In 1897, when Mr. Hoover was only twenty-three years old, he moved to Australia to engage in mining activities. In 1899 he removed to China and became the chief engineer of the Chinese Imperial Bureau of Mines. In that capacity he explored the interior of China, and in a short time became associated with private companies formed for the exploitation of the mines of that country. For several years he resided in London and acted Cleveland and all his works were thrown overboard and the country was asked to forget and forgive all that had happened, because Mr. Bryan had changed the subject from the robber tariff to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one. THE ELKS DID IT The Elks of Glendale did a handsome thing the other day, and one that we'll warrant they got a heap of enjoyment out of too. They heard of a poor widow up in Bouquet Canyon who couldn't afford even a shanty, so had to live in a tent while trying to homestead some land. The Elks piled in their autos one Sunday morning, laden with lumber sawed to lengths, tools, nails, and other needfuls, including their wives or sweet-hearts, and a generous lunch and drove to the widow's ranch and nearly gave her heart failure by building a little house for her, all painted and ready to move into, in half a day. Then they sat down and all enjoyed a feast with her and her youngsters. If they didn't get more genuine pleasure out of making her happy than they ever did out of any pleasure they ever planned for themselves, then we miss our guess. The old story still holds true, that the way to find the blue bird is right at home, doing something to make somebody else happy.—Register. FEED FOR DAIRY COWS An increase in dairy production With a decrease in the cost of feed can be obtained by closer attention In 1897, when Mr. Hoover was only twenty-three years old, he moved to Australia to engage in mining activities. In 1899 he removed to China and became the chief engineer of the Chinese Imperial Bureau of Mines. In that capacity he explored the interior of China, and in a short time became associated with private companies formed for the exploitation of the mines of that country. For several years he resided in London and acted as director in a number of British corporations engaged in Asiatic development. A list of the concerns in which Mr. Hoover's interests are now centered sounds like quotations from the London Stock Exchange. For practically twenty years Mr. Hoover has concentrated his energies on the development of foreign properties. Deserting the country which gave him birth and an education he went abroad and stayed there. Now when the emergency of war, rather than any voluntary desire on his part, has brought about his return to his native land, he seems to entertain the notion that the voters will select him to direct the destinies of the nation for the next four years. A more preposterous supposition could hardly be conceived. It is said that Col. House is ready to back Mr. Hoover. That fact alone should be enough to snuff out any hope of success that the rest of Hoover's friends may cherish. The country has had enough of Col. House and his clandestine and pussy-foot methods of doing things. Once it becomes known that he is actively working for the Hoover boom no other candidate need have any fear from that source. The New York World, after years of flattering laudation, suddenly discovers that Mr. Wilson is a "political accident," and indicates its willingness to work for Hoover. If throughout the seven years of his reign the World has been blind to the true character of the man in the White House, there is reason to believe that its present estimate of the qualities of Mr. Hoover may be open to question. Even the World is silent on the fundamentals of Mr. Hoover's faith. It describes him as a great administrator, which must be conceded, but a man of forty- our guess. The old story still holds true, that the way to find the blue bird is right at home, doing something to make somebody else happy—Register. FEED FOR DAIRY COWS An increase in dairy production With a decrease in the cost of feed can be obtained by closer attention to feeding. There are a number of dairymen in the county who are feeding a sufficient amount of feed but the different feeds in their rations are not well balanced. Some are feeding too much roughages, such as hay, while others are feeding too much of one kind of a high priced concentrate. It is now possible to obtain pure black strap cane molasses at a price that will enable the dairyman to feed it and get good results. It is a feed that is high in carbohydrates which means sugar and fat. It balances well with the cottonseed and cocoa nut meal that is being fed and is much cheaper than barley, which sells for around $90 per ton. The molasses is preferable to barley at the present prices and in addition is a fine tonic for the cows and also increases their palatability, which will induce them to eat up the dry concentrate feeds with a relish. From one to three pounds per day is a good feed in combination with the other concentrate feeds. A quart weighs three pounds, so it can be easily measured out. It is best to mix with the concentrates by first mixing the molasses with twice its amount of water and stirring well with a shovel in order to get the molasses evenly distributed. Some dairymen pour the molasses on the grain mixture when it is in the feed box and seem to get good results. A few of the well balanced rations are given below but should not be taken as perfect rations for every dairyman because the conditions in a herd are different as to milk production, size of cows and cost of available home grown roughages, but they will give an idea of the proportions used in the concentrate mixtures. For a medium sized high our guess. The old story still holds true, that the way to find the blue bird is right at home, doing something to make somebody else happy—Register. the Secretary of Committee on April will not answer letters with regarders unless we notice, and yet outpropriation of $4,000 ed in his office a what nobody knows the head o fit dray That publicity makes a force under him ment had during rough figures, appl for its clerical fo and that amount is bill for this year.

If throughout the seven years of his reign the World has been blind to the true character of the man in the White House, there is reason to believe that its present estimate of the qualities of Mr. Hoover may be open to question. Even the World is silent on the fundamentals of Mr. Hoover's faith. It describes him as a great administrator, which must be conceded, but a man of forty-five who has spent the last twenty years of his life under the influences of foreign business thought, principally British, can hardly be conceded as fitted to administer the American government. The Democrats claim Mr. Hoover as a member of their party, but the fact is that nobody knows to what political faith he belongs. Doubtless he has been in this country such a short time that he is still undecided what faction he will affiliate with, if any. He seems to be a sort of nondescript, willing to accept any and all support that will aid him in attaining his goal. But the American people will not stand for that sort of candidate a moment. The man who gets their votes is the true American, not afraid to extol his own country above every other in the world and to prove his words by living here and contributing his best to the upbuilding of our institutions. Carpet-baggers have no place in American campaigns. Well, William J. is at large once more. He is preparing to make the effort to capitalize the discontent his own party has created for its own vindication, as he did in 1896, when A few of the well balanced rations are given below but should not be taken as perfect rations for every dairyman because the conditions in a herd are different as to milk production, size of cows and cost of available home grown roughages, but they will give an idea of the proportions used in the concentrate mixtures.

TOO MANY CLERKS That there are 25,000 superfluous clerks in Washington in spite of the necessity for the most rigid governmental economy is attested by Representative James W. Good of Iowa, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations. "Let us see what War did with them gave him for the information that they been discharged and Secretary of War office $277,000, and statutory peace-time addition. He gave General of the Union He gave to the DD Storage and Traffic to the Chief of What are these clerks down there now for officers who we are here in Washington drawing more salaries draw at home—not but in the main—the Ordnance Department to Congress this scheme." RECORDS MADE TENTH Surpasses All Other and Beauty Surpassing in even expositions, the Tenth Show this year has led a record for both feature exhibits, quantity of oranges, lemons entered in prize competition is every reason to hold attendance records with Fully 150,000 visitors have passed through In commenting upon the failure of the administration to eliminate the deserving Democrats appointed for war purposes only, Mr. Good said: "Before the war we had in Washington employees in the War Department to the number of 2,911. That was on April 6, 1917. How many do you think we have now? We have 21,216 clerks, and the war is over. The President told us on the 11th day of November, 1918, a year and a half ago: "The war thus comes to an end, and on terms that the German command can not renew it." "And yet you have today, or did have on December 31, 1919, 21,216 clerks in the War Department, and the Secretary of War sends his threat to Congress, with all that number of clerks—and only about 1,100 will lose their jobs if we do not grant this appropriation—that he will not answer the letters of Members of Congress, and he will not furnish to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and other bureaues, the information about the discharged soldiers unless we will consent to be held up and grant him the request which he makes, and which would be an indorsement of all of the inefficient work that has been going on in the War Department. "I think there is nothing perhaps that will come before the Congress at this session that is going to determine whether or not we are to have real efficient management in the executive departments and the discharge of unnecessary clerks. It is here discovered that the Secretary of War threatens, in a letter addressed to the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, that he will not answer and can not answer during the ten days of the show. The feature exhibits are wondrously beautiful. More care has been taken in the rack display of fruits and the entries are more numerous than ever before. The Industrial section and automobile section cover fifty per cent more space than ever before, many exhibitors being stationed at various points in Urbita Springs park, the site of this year's show, due to inability to get space under canvas. A treat is the bi-products division with its great array of surprises. The daily programs vary with wonderful hands, among them a U. S. Naval Band of 100 pieces, singers, entertainers providing amusement for the throngs. In addition, there is the usual Orange Trail where are gathered a great number of clean amusement features for those who seek amusement after admiring the beauties of the Orange Show proper. A huge U. S. Naval hydroplane is stationed on Urbita Lake, an exhibit of the government. The show will be open day and night up to and including Monday, February 23." CLAIMS DAMAGES FOR INJURIES IN ACCIDENT Mrs. Sue King Files Suit Against Cris Wilkings. How Cris Wilkings was alleged to have driven his automobile at 40 miles an hour and to have run into and demolished a surrey in which Mrs. Sue M. King was riding was related in a complaint which was on file in superior court Monday and through which Mrs. King and her husband, John W. King, will seek a "I think there is nothing perhaps that will come before the Congress at this session that is going to determine whether or not we are to have real efficient management in the executive departments and the discharge of inefficient clerks. It is here discovered that the Secretary of War threatens, in a letter addressed to the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, that he will not answer and can not answer letters with regard to discharged soldiers unless we give this appropriation, and yet out of the lump-sum appropriation of $4,000,000, he has created in his office a publicity bureau—for what nobody knows—with a man at the head o fit drawing $3900 a year. That publicity man is there now with a force under him. The War Department had during normal times, in rough figures, approximately $2,000,000 for its clerical force in Washington, and that amount is carried now in the bill for this year. In addition to that the legislative bill carried $3,500,000 as a lump sum for securing the draft records for the adjutant generals of the several States. In addition to that there is another lump-sum appropriation of $4,000,000 for clerks in the War Department—$9,500,000 for clerks in the War Department for the year. Let us see how that was allotted by the Secretary of War. That appropriation of $4,000,000 was given because Congress wanted the Adjutant General to be able to get the records of the soldiers of this war promptly, and not hold those records open for 30 years. The letter of the Adjutant General is rather misleading, not intentionally. The Adjutant General would have you believe by that letter that for 30 years after the civil war there was a force employed, whereas, as a matter of fact, a force was not placed in the War Department to compile the records until about 30 years after the close of the civil war. "Let us see what the Secretary of War did with the $4,000,000 that we gave him for the force to furnish the information that the boys who have been discharged and should have. The Secretary of War took for his own office $277,000, and yet he has the statutory peace-time organization in addition. He gave to the Surgeon- Cris Wilkings. How Cris Wilkings was alleged to have driven his automobile at 40 miles an hour and to have run into and demolished a surrey in which Mrs. Sue M. King was riding was related in a complaint which was on file in superior court Monday and through which Mrs. King and her husband, John W. King, will seek a judgment of $3,295.80 as damages alleged to have been sustained by Mrs. King as a result of the crash. According to the complaint, which was filed through Attorneys J. C. Burke and C. D. Swanner, the accident occurred on July 22, 1919, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs. King, it is alleged, was riding in her surrey toward the east on Lincoln avenue, which runs westerly from Anaheim and through Cypress. The point where the accident took place is about 336 west of the intersection of Lincoln avenue and Stanton avenue, five miles west of Anaheim. Wilkings, the complaint said, came up behind Mrs. King in his automobile, at an alleged rate of 40 miles an hour. He was alleged to have approached on the some side of the avenue on which Mrs. King was driving, and to have failed to give a signal. Mrs. King, she said, drove as far as possible to the right side of the highway. Wilkings, it was alleged, did not give her a chance to get out of the way. In the crash, it was recited, Mrs. King was hurled from the surrey and trampled under foot by the horse. It was claimed the rig was demolished. Mrs. King said that as a result of the accident she suffered a severe laceration of the left eye; that her left shoulder was sprained; that her right knee was sprained; that her lip was cut; that her upper front teeth were loosened; and that she was severely bruised about the body. Mrs. King recited that because of her injuries she was compelled to remain in bed for a month, and that her knee still pains her and gives her discomfort. She alleged she was permanently injured. King was alleged to have suffered He was a little late and in his anxiety to make the date did not notice that his machine was speeding beyond the prescribed limit of twenty miles for residence sections. His innocence of intentional speeding and the mission he was on at the time had its effect in tempering the sentence passed by Col. Heathman, who presides over the city recorder's court, and the pastor was permitted to go his way, with the soft admonition that he go "and sin no more." A supplemental order issued by the Railroad Commission Friday approves a mortgage filed by Estelle N. Grenke as security for a note for $8,000 she gave to Jesse S. Harker and Edna M. Harker as payment for the water works owned by the Harkers at Melvin Place, Los Angeles county. The original order approving the transfer of the utility was issued by the commission last December. The Santa Ana canyon road is officially open to light traffic, but not to trucks. Laying of the last of the concrete was completed some days ago, since which time the pavement for the last half mile of the stretch has been covered with dirt and has been under water, soaking. The road was thrown open for the convenience of Orange county people going to the San Bernardino National Orange Show. With its opening, another scenic drive is made available to Southern California mo- In the Department of Commerce, the records until about 30 years after the close of the civil war. "Let us see what the Secretary of War did with the $4,000,000 that we gave him for the force to furnish the information that the boys who have been discharged and should have. The Secretary of War took for his own office $277,000, and yet he has the statutory peace-time organization in addition. He gave to the Surgeon-General of the United States $335,000. He gave to the Director of Purchase, Storage and Traffic $418,000. He gave to the Chief of Ordnance $680,000. What are these clerks doing? They are down there now doing the work for officers who will not resign, who are here in Washington, as a rule drawing more salary than they could draw at home—not all, by any means, but in the main—preparing work in the Ordnance Department, sending up to Congress this plan and that scheme." RECORDS MADE AT TENTH ORANGE SHOW Surpasses All Others in Attendance and Beauty of Exhibits. Surpassing in every way all previous expositions, the Tenth National Orange Show this year has not only established a record for beauty and variety of feature exhibits, quality and quantity of oranges, lemons and grapefruit entered in prize competition, but there is every reason to believe that all attendance records will be shattered. Fully 150,000 visitors are expected to have passed through the turnstiles That preachers are only human creatures, after all, and are prone to violate the law when that law has to do with speeding, was evidenced when Rev. A. T. O'Rear was picked up by a Santa Ana speed cop and haled before City Recorder Heathman. The expounders of the gospel at times are just as liable to press a little too hard on the throttle as are the laymen, and innocently at that. Rev. O'Rear wasn't "tearin' 'er up." He was just over the twenty mile limit for the residence district when the eagle eye of the speed cop caught him. O'Rear is some busy man these times, with the management of the Near East Relief drive on his shoulders, in addition to his pastoral duties, and it was while he was hurrying to meet a Near East Relief engagement that he was picked up for speeding. Mrs. King recited that because of her injuries she was compelled to remain in bed for a month, and that her knee still pains her and gives her discomfort. She alleged she was permanently injured. King was alleged to have suffered the following consequential damages: $50 for the employment of household help while his wife was incapacitated; $20.80 for physician's fees and medicines; and $225 for damage to the surrey. PREACHER CAUGHT SPEEDING That preachers are only human creatures, after all, and are prone to violate the law when that law has to do with speeding, was evidenced when Rev. A. T.

At least two additional nurses are needed at once. They can be either trained nurses or practical nurses. Mrs. Zaiser, acting for the superintendent, has been using the telephone trying to locate nurses, and has failed to find one that was available. "With the doctor and so many of our assistants ill with the influenza, we must have additional help at once," said Mrs. Zaiser. "Miss Swall, the matron, is still up and has had to shoulder the heavy load, but she can't keep going without more help than she has now." The hospital is crowded.
