WORLD NEEDS SMILES The world is forgetting how to smile and to see beautiful things. Thinking and talking war and living in the atmosphere of armed conflict is making the peoples of all civilized lands hard. The world needs to get back to its smiles. The eminent man who is preaching this philosophy of the smile is Premier Nitti, from that land of sunshine and geniality. There is much truth in the observations that Premier Nitti makes. There is universal need of relaxing from the austerities of the war period. There should be more smiles, more hopefulness in the hearts of men, women and children. To quote this sound, wholesome bit of philosophy from Premier Nitti: "War and peace are not only facts but they are states of mind. The trouble with the world today is that it is in a war state of mind. It must get into a peace state of mind. The war is over. Let's have peace. We of today are becoming brutal and stupid because we have too much war on the brain. No poetry is being penned, no music composed, no great books written. For seven years the universities have done little and the intellectual level of mankind is falling. To me that is sad. Let us forget about the war and write poetry and sing sweet music. The trouble with the world today is that it has forgotten how to smile. When two men stand always face to face, each believing the other intends to murder him, they will end it by fighting. If they go on about their business when they meet and one smiles to the other, the other will smile. We need smiles in the world today." TO ASK FOR THE REASON WHY reached our forces in France—about ten minutes' supply? Do you know the government spent 117 million dollars on gas but that not a single American made gas shell was fired by the American forces in France? Do you know the government spent 478 million dollars on guns but that only 72 American made guns reached our forces at the front? Do you know the government spent 7 million dollars on a naval training camp in Virginia after the armistice was signed? Do you know the government spent 70 million dollars on a powder plant at Nitro, W. Va., and sold it for 8 million? Do you know the government spent 100 million dollars for a nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, Ala., and that congress has been asked for additional appropriations to make this plant capable of producing fertilizer? Do you know these items and others like them—cited by Representative E. E. Denison of Illinois in a recent speech—helped to explain the size of the expenditures for which the people are paying today and will continue to pay for years to come? DELINQUENT TAXES Taxes on approximately 1200 pieces of Orange County property have gone delinquent according to figures given out by County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb who contends that in many instances the delinquencies are due to transfer of ownership since the assessment. The fact that a great many eastern people, who formerly were in the habit of paying their taxes at different periods, have purchased here is also given as a reason for many delinquencies.

FULLERTON POST GOING Warning Public Who Wear TO ASK FOR THE REASON WHY Secretary of War Baker's reasons for withholding from sale more than $1,000,000,000 worth of war material, most of which is now in open storage at the various camps of the country at the mercy of the elements, are to be sought by a resolution that will shortly be introduced in the house by republican leaders who are contending with the problem of governmental economy. On the theory that the war would last three years longer than it did, the war department accumulated this vast supply of material for backing up an army of 5,000,000, but despite the fact that a division of sales was created shortly after the signing of the armistice, Secretary Baker, for some reason has sold part of the material at a bag loss and held more than $1,000,000,000 worth that could be sold at a profit. The supplies held under his "reservation orders" are not of use to the government and become less serviceable with time and weather. Holding them is a drain on the treasury. The more important include: From $200,000,000 to $500,000,000 worth of machine tools of standard makes, a large part of which are lying useless in open storage. With the demand for increased production, these tools would go a long way toward meeting the needs of the industries of the country. Eight hundred thousand kegs of nails bought by the government at a price averaging $3 a keg. The market price today is $6.50 a keg, and the demand cannot be met. Sixty million feet of lumber, enough to build three cantonments the size of the present national army camps. All this lumber was bought at a price far lower than that prevailing today. Approximately 100,000 desks, equipped with typewriters, adding machines or other mechanical devices used up to the signing of the armistice. of Orange County property have gone delinquent according to figures given out by County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb who contends that in many instances the delinquencies are due to transfer of ownership since the assessment. The fact that a great many eastern people, who formerly were in the habit of paying their taxes at different periods, have purchased here is also given as a reason for many delinquencies. Lamb says the number of delinquents this year is slightly in advance of the number last year, but that this is probably due to the reason given above. Lamb and his deputies are now preparing the delinquency roll which will be turned over to County Auditor Jerome the latter part of May. The property will be advertised for sale about June 1 and will be sold about June 25. Payment of taxes may continue up to the day of sale. Taxes which went delinquent on final payment now carry a 5 per cent penalty. Taxes going delinquent on both payments carry a 20 per cent penalty. Property on which taxes are not paid by June 1 will carry an additional penalty of 50 cents per lot to defray the cost of advertising. BLACKEYE BEANS FOR POULTRY Roy R. Mathews of Buena Park writes: "We have fed Blackeye beans, field run and as screenings from the cleaners without being ground, and prefer them for grain ration to any grain. Our first test of value came in June when our hens (about 500) had begun to decline in production on a mash, milo maize and cut alfalfa diet. We substituted Blackeyes for milo and after a day or two the flock began eating readily. Within a week or two egg production increased materially, ten or fifteen per cent, till we used up our supply, when we discontinued as before with milo and the hens began to decline as usual during summer months. A short time later we found a couple of sacks of cull Blackeyes we had overlooked and again substituted, with a marked egg increase. The following season we got similar results. We feed them through a self feeder or in straw litter, giving all the hens will eat.

FULLERTON MAN SUES FOR HEAVY DAMAGES Overflow From Sewer Farm, He Claims, Injures His Land Through Attorneys Bishop & Wellington of Santa Ana, E. Del Giorgio, of Fullerton, has filed suit in the Orange county superior court against the City of Fullerton for $6,820 damages to parts of his ranch which adjourns the Fullerton sewer farm. The complaint alleges that sewage from the farm has been allowed to overflow onto his property, thus reducing its productivity and ruining crops which were under cultivation at the time the overflow occurred. Del Giorgio asks $4,200 for depreciation, loss and damage to the land; for losses to crops in 1917 he asks $775; for similar losses in 1918 he asks $475; losses sustained in 1919 are placed at $910 and losses this year are placed at $360, making a total of $6820. The complaint alleges that Del Giorgios land has been subject to overflow on numerous occasions and that frequent requests have been made of the City of Fullerton to abate the nuisance, but that no steps to do so have been taken by the city. On March 24, last, formal notice was served on the Fullerton officials demanding that immediate steps be taken to stop the overflow, but thus far Del Giorgio has received no relief. In addition to asking for damages, Del Giorgio further asks that the city be enjoined from further use of the sewer farm. FULLERTON POST GOING AFTER CROOKS Warning Public Against Pretenders Who Wear the Uniform DRIVE STARTS SATURDAY FOR SALVATION ARMY Fund Should be Greatly Oversub-scribed in Southern California May 10 to 17 has been designated as Salvation Army week in Southern California, according to an announcement received from headquarters of the Southern California campaign committee in Los Angeles. This campaign is for a Salvation Army home service fund, every dollar of which will be spent in welfare work in the communities within this district. Not only did the Salvation Army win a firm place in the heart of every American doughboy who served in France, but the sight of this well known uniform today arouses a spirit of thankfulness in the breast of every American, that they have an organization that is out in the field unselfishly working twenty-four hours a day, for the good and welfare of those who may have fallen, of those who are unfortunate in the battle today for a livelihood, and for those who need the kindly advice and help of a brother and sister. This campaign will receive the support of every citizen of this community, and the small sum that has been asked of our people should be cheerfully and promptly given. The campaign for Southern California is under the general chairmanship of H. M. Haldeman of Los Angeles, who has always taken a prominent part in the direction of every relief drive for the past three years. Mr. Haldeman will be assisted by the following committee of well known Southern California men: Dr. John Willis Baer, Harry Chandler, Louis M. Cole, ex-Senator Frank P. Flint, W. F. McBrayer, W. G. McMahon, L. J. en to stop the overflow, but thus far Del Giorgio has received no relief. In addition to asking for damages, Del Giorgio further asks that the city be enjoined from further use of the sewer farm. FULLERTON POST GOING AFTER CROOKS Warning Public Against Pretenders Who Wear the Uniform There are crooks and crooks, but the worst crook of all is the one who will use the uniform of his country to extort funds from patriotic people. This sentiment, expressed by a member of the Fullerton Legion post, is concurred in by other members, and the post has gone on record as deploring the misuse of the uniform. The body also asks the public not to patronize any of these people wearing the uniform unless they can show the purpose for which they are wearing it is a worthy one. The post's action was taken as a result of a report that parties claiming to be ex-service men have been going around soliciting subscriptions to magazines and other things, wearing the uniforms, and thus playing upon the sympathies of patriotic people in order to secure funds.

BEET GROWERS LOOK FOR BIG RETURNS California Farmers Expect to Reap Good Harvest This Year According to a recent study made by the agricultural bureau of the chamber of Commerce, the sugar beet acreage of the state shows an increase of 110 per cent above that of 1919. The world crop of 1919 was 122.1 per cent, using the five average 1913-1918 as 100. The present prospect in the United States is for a 1920 crop of 100.4 per cent. That percentoria is concerned. As the indication will be exceeded as far as Callions now are that the California acreage will produce from nine to ten tons per acre, the best sugar crop prospect for the farmer appears to be a very encouraging one. On the basis of 18 cents per pound retail for sugar, experts estimate a return of $36,000,000 for the season. Beet farming all over the country has received a decided impetus from the peculiar situation in the world's sugar supply, and if other factors equally were as promising, we might look for early and substantial relief from the pressure of high prices. Unfortunately it happens that other countries are not likely to do as well, and the serious and widespread shortage in cane sugar crops and proximate in Cuba where fully and promptly given. PALO VERDE DATES Extension of date planting experiments by the United States department of agriculture to the Palo Verde valley has been accomplished by Prof. Bruce Drummond, federal date expert, of Indio. The bread date has largely figured in the plantings, many Hourl and Saldi bread dates being planted on an acre of land donated by Dr. George Ghiglieri, near Blythe. Other date offshoots planted are the Deglet Noor, Khadrawl, Amahat, Maktum and M'zab. The dates are doing well and prof. Drummond believes that the climate and soil of this balley will produce dates in abundance. Dr. George Ghiglieri, who recently visited the federal date experimental farm at Indio, has been promised several new varieties of dates from the Persian gulf, which Prof. Drummond Here's My Chautauqua brings an abrupt change in big variety—and all good certs during the week.

Harlow, driver of a hearse, is in the Santa Ana hospital, and the motor equipment is a complete wreck as the result of a collision between the hearse and a Santa Fe south bound passenger train at the Santa Clara avenue crossing Thursday afternoon about 3:30 o'clock. Harlow was returning from the cemetery following the funeral of Henry Hotz of Garden Grove. The driver's seat is enclosed, and Harlow did not hear the gong at the crossing. The track is obscured from both directions and is one of the most dangerous of the Santa Fe crossings. Harlow suffered injuries to his head and a broken leg. It is also feared he has internal injuries. Beet farming all over the country has received a decided impetus from the peculiar situation in the world's sugar supply, and if other factors equally were as promising, we might look for early and substantial relief from the pressure of high prices. Unfortunately it happens that other countries are not likely to do as well and the serious and widespread shortage in cane sugar crops and prospects in Cuba, in this country, where the coming crop prospect is only 49 per cent of normal, and in other cane producing regions, seems in danger of neutralizing efforts to bring the general production up to the level of demand for consumption. From information conveyed from all parts of the Union, it looks much as though the American people had gone sugar mad. To a great extent trade authorities attribute this condition to prohibition, since the per capita consumption of sugar is stated to have increased about 34 per cent since the country went bone dry. Whatever the cause, the case is a hard one upon housekeepers. All of us can remember, and only a few years back, when mother or wife complained dolefully that the season for putting up her fruit had come, and she could only get twelve pounds of sugar for a dollar. Now the oppressed housewife expects that, before she can do any preserving, she will have to buy sugar by the carat, like diamonds. From the domestic viewpoint, there is not much sweetness to be extracted from the situation, but it is one that will not be all gloom to an important section of our agricultural community.

Why, for instance, should someone steal silk and silver goods to the value of more than $100 and then attempt to cache it by throwing the bundle into Fullerton's city street? That is the question which puzzles local officers. The package was found, wrapped in a newspaper, in the street culvert in front of the Evans candy shop on Spadra road, in the business district, by W. M. Cooney, who was engaged in cleaning the street. Fearing the bundle might help to stroke the culvert, Cooney removed it and found to his surprise that the package contained a silk dress worth about $75, silk hosery, several brushes and other ladies' toilet articles, and two sets of solid silver spoons, one apparently unused. The package was hardly hidden at all and apparently the party who attempted to hide it did so in something of a hurry. S. L. Thomas of Los Angeles has appealed to the superior court from a judgment for $299 rendered against him by Justice Howard of Anaheim in an action brought by H. P. Tobin, Anaheim real estate dealer.
