An appalling picture of the present plight of children in Germany is painted by A. G. Gardiner, former editor of the London Daily Times. If conditions are as he represents them, it is certainly a tragic thing today to be born a German child. "In every manifestation of the common life," he says, "there is the sense of a people who have sunk to the level of an impoverished existence. In this general dead level of poverty it is the children who are most to be pitied. The German child is born into a hungry world and to a hard life." Tuberculosis, he explains has "swept the country like a plague." Rickets has claimed its hundreds of thousands. "As you go through the schools, stand in the class-rooms, watch the children at work, you have the sense of a whole generation stricken by blight. It is revealed in the puckered brows, the lusterless, uncertain eyes, the anemic faces, the bandy legs, the dry, cracked, flabby skins the swollen abdomens, the universal air of exhaustion. It is a generation that has never known what a sufficiency of food means. For five years—that is, ticket. In fact hostility to the republican national ticket would be clearly indicated by failure to support the party's senatorial nominee in any state, because to elect Senator Harding president and the foredoom his administration to failure by sending a hostile senate to Washington, would be an act unfriendly to the next republican president, as well as injurious to the interests of the country. The republican party must hold every senatorial seat now republican, and displace some democrats with republicans, in order to give to the next republican national administration the legislative cooperation essential to the success of the administration or the welfare of the country. The mere fact that the national government is given a republican head would mean little or nothing, if, at the same time, the chief executive be made powerless to fulfill any pledge of his party, or execute any purpose of his own, through the opposition of a senate dominated by a democratic majority. Now is a time when any man wishing to assist in retiring the democratic party from national control must, in order to demonstrate his sincerity in such a purpose, support not merely the presidential but the congressional tickets of his party. It would be more intelligent and more patriotic for any citizen to be against both the national and congressional tickets, than to be against either, for support of the one might give a fictitious weight to opposition to the other, and might be accorded for that very purpose. To the campaign for republican control of the senate special attention should be given every republican sincerely and intelligently interested in the success of the next republican national administration.

It is revealed in the puckered brows, the lusterless, uncertain eyes, the anemic faces, the bandy legs, the dry, cracked, flabby skins the swollen abdomens, the universal air of exhaustion. It is a generation that has never known what a sufficiency of food means. For five years—that is, for almost the whole of the life they remember—they have been starved." And these, the writer concludes, are hopeless. Their need is too great, and they have been starved too long. "Against such a sea of misery the utmost that could be done would be like a drop in the bucket." He thinks it may be best to "let the present school generation go, and concentrate on the infants and expectant mothers." The first thought inspired by such a tale of distress is that outside nations, however much they have suffered from Germany's criminal war, should do all in their power to help those children, on whom none of the guilt rests. This will doubtless be done, as soon as the world realizes the situation. But along with such sympathy comes an overpowering sense that this is Germany's supreme punishment for her sins. Pursuing a deliberate course that would have made life harder for the children of other nations, Germany has made life unimaginably hard for her own. Professing to claim a "place in the sun" by stealing the sunshine of others when she already had plenty herself, she has given a whole generation of her own offspring a place in the shadow. MUST ELECT REP. OONGRESS It is no more important to elect a republican president and vice president on November 2, than to choose a working republican majority in both branches of congress. The election of the republican national ticket, and along with it a congress democratic in either branch would be a barren victory. It would give to the new national administration responsibility without authority. It would dead-lock national government at a time when cooperation is essential to the performance of the great task of national restoration and citizen to be against both the national and congressional tickets, than to be against either, for support of the one might give a fictitious weight to opposition to the other, and might be accorded for that very purpose. To the campaign for republican control of the senate special attention should be given every republican sincerely and intelligently interested in the success of the next republican national administration. With a democratic senate, or a senate narrowly and doubly controlled by republicans, a republican national administration would be bound hand and foot and the country would be in political and legislative deadlock for the next two years. The success or failure of individuals in politics is of small importance to those interested in politics from patriotic motives, as compared with the success or failure of the principles, the cause, these individuals represent. Now is a time for burying of personal animosities, and the subordination of personal prejudices to the larger and nobler appeal of a cause. Republicans should relegate factionalism to the rear and direct their thought and endeavor to the general success of the whole cause of republicanism, without which there can be no victory at the polls in November that would open to the republican party the opportunity for rendering that high national service essential in this emergency for the restoration rehabilitation and reconstruction of the nation; the bringing of order out of the chaos into which national affairs have been plunged during the past seven and a half years of Wilsonian mismanagement. NEW ASSOCIATION FOR ORANGE COUNTY That a new association of Orange county walnut growers, operating its own packing house and affiliated with the California Walnut growers association, will be organized at Santa Ana in the very near future seems highly probable from the great interest recently awakened by the news that many independent walnut shipers, linouding one of the biggest private concerns in Orange county, are likely to go out of business this year, owing to the present unfavorable maritime conditions.

The election of the republican national ticket, and along with it a congress democratic in either branch would be a barren victory. It would give to the new national administration responsibility without authority. It would dead-lock national government at a time when cooperation is essential to the performance of the great task of national restoration and reconstruction with which the next national administration will be charged. It takes the two branches of government, executive and legislative, acting in harmony, to accomplish any important governmental purpose. Either branch is practically powerless without the cooperation of the other. And that is particularly true now, when the stale books are burdened with laws which are the product of seven and a half years of activity by the party in power. In the excitement of the presidential campaign, the paramount importance of electing a republican house and senate must not be lost sight of. The election of a republican house is practically sure to accompany the election of the republican national ticket. But a survey of the political situation shows that it is easily possible to elect Harding and Coolidge and still lose the senate, or make republican control of the senate ineffective because of the narrowness of the party majority. In a number of states democratic activity and republican factional trouble threatens the election of democratic senators in states that ought to be republican. It must be understood that republican loyalty, to be intelligent or effective, must extend to the senatorial as well as the presidential county walnut growers, operating its own packing house and affiliated with the California Walnut growers association, will be organized at Santa Ana in the very near future seems highly probable from the great interest recently awakened by the news that many independent walnut shippers, lining up one of the biggest private concerns in Orange county, are likely to go out of business this year, owing to the present unfavorable marketing condition which is largely due to the sale of imported walnuts at prices less than the actual cost of producing walnuts in California. Plans for the new association are so well along that a mass meeting will be held in Santa Ana about July 20 for the purpose of giving the matter final consideration and taking the preliminary organization steps. At this meeting the advantages of cooperative marketing will be presented by Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the California Walnut Growers association, while other phases of the business will be discussed by its chief inspector, H. C. Sharp, and the head of its membership department, A. S. Halstead. A new walnut growers' association in Orange county can be ushered in just now under conditions exceptionally favorable to the growers, Mr. Halstead asserts, since they have an opportunity to secure at what is regarded as a quite reasonable price the packing house of an independent concern which expects to retire from the business in case a large percentage of the growers from which it has been buying walnuts become members of the new organization. This will give Santa Ana, which is the largest walnut shipping center in the world, two association packing houses, each with a heavy tonnage to handle this season, APPRECIATE As a mark efficient work in practically Scherer of the company, has head driller, automobile, vane.

PROTECT OUR INDUSTRIES The imminent peril of Asiatic competition with American industries in the western and Pacific states is certain to make the question of an adequate protective tariff an acute issue in the political campaign now in progress. The high prices for all commodities in this country are irresistible incentives to the procedures of the Far East, and already exports from Japan and the Philippines are underselling the American market in New York and other eastern states. This competition is a direct thrust at the interests of the American labor market, because the cost of labor in Asia and the Philippines is the lowest in the world—the wage of the coolies of China, Japan and the Straits settlements does not exceed ten or twelve cents a day, and the money value of that wage is about one-half the value of American money. There is but one effective method of meeting this competition, and that is with the practical application of the republican policy of a protective tariff on all products that come to us from foreign sources. The business interests of California's industrial and commercial organizations are immediately affected, and the future prosperity of every farmer and packer is menaced. It is incumbent upon these productive interests, therefore, that they should mass themselves solidly in support of the republican policy. APPRECIATES HIS WORK As a mark of appreciation of his efficient work in bringing in the well in practically record time, President Scherer of the Richfield Consolidated company, has presented Tom Lloyd, head driller, with an eight-cylinder pig weighed 65 pounds. When I got her, I could put her in a sack. About a month after I could not get her in a sack. I began to take pictures of my pig about a week after I got her. Here she is three weeks after I got her. She was afraid at first but after a week or so she became tame so I could scratch her. "I named her Lady Betsy. I give her baths on Mondays and Thursdays. She soon got used to it, so she would squel for her bath. I gave her lots of green feed. Every night I would get in the pen and play with her. I fed her cracked corn and pig mash. I fixed a rack for her green feed. She drank lots of water. My brother and sister play with her at noon. "When it was nearing the end of the contest I did not want her to go. I wanted to keep her, but it would cost too much to keep her. We are told an auction on July 10, 1920 and I hope to sell her to somebody that thinks as much of her as I do. I went around and saw the pigs of the other club members. I have learned how to feed them, keep their sleeping quarters clean and to keep fresh water in the pen all the time. Mr. Wahlberg and Bob Ralston came and visited my pig. They told me that my pen was too small for her so I made it larger. After I made her pen larger, I gave her green feed, bathed and played with her. When anyone would come to see her and go to pat her she would flop herself on the ground and would not get up so they could see her. I think the best kind of a pig club member is a girl, because she don't go off and play ball." If you failed to see the great Antarctic picture of Lieut.

"Service That Satisfies" Wickersheim Implement Co. FULLERTON, CALIF. Members of the board of supervisors sitting as a board of equalization will have work to do today and probably for the remainder of their session on equalization matters. Today the Birch Oil company of Brea will make its usual annual protest to the board against the assessment of County Assessor James Sleeper. This year the Birch company is assessed for $884,375 as against an assessment in 1919 of $773,475, an increase of $110,900. County Assessor Sleeper said today the increase in the assessment was based on an increase in production, and he predicted that the hearing before the board which opens today will reveal some interesting figures regarding oil production in Orange county. The protest of the Birch company is probably the only one that will be heard before the board. The supervisors began their session as a board of equalization on Monday, July 5 and will continue in session up to and including Monday, July 19. Thus far not a protest has been made to the board and it was expected the Birch protest, which is looked forward to from year to year, would be the only one that would come up. E. R.
