FARMERS' FEDERATION ENDORSES POWER ACT Secton Guarantees Rights of Rural Users is Satisfactory The Federation of American Farmers, with 30,000 members in this state, has endorsed the California water and power act, which is proposed as a constitutional amendment. A committee appointed at the state convention, after a thorough investigation, makes public the following announcement: "We, the committee appointed at the state meeting of the American Federation of Farmers held at Sacramento, August 6, 1921, to report upon the proposed constitutional amendment, article XVla, water and power development, California's water and power act, having carefully investigated the measure and those identified with it, do unreservedly recommend that our members, and all other citizens of California, give it their utmost support." The inclusion in the act of a section guaranteeing the right of the country districts against possible encroachment by big cities has greatly strengthened the measure in the rural districts and hundreds of influential farmers in various sections of the state have enrolled for its support. Following is the section designed to protect the fundamental natural rights of those nearest points of origin: "Sec. 12. As between those otherwise equally entitled, the board shall supply water or reelectric energy to political sub-divisions near the source of supply water or electric energy to portable needs, in preference to those more remote." In addition to the Federation of American Farmers, the act already has received the endorsement of the League of California Municipalities, comprising 250 cities, the California enemies. Therefore there is no reason whatever why a treaty of peace, so far as this nation is concerned, should deal with anything but the formal establishment of peace and our assent to the settlement the defeated nations have made with the allies. FREE TRADE AT HOME Seated on a summer porch or by an October fire it is pleasant to hear old folks quote the poetry they read in youth. Their reasoning is stronger if enforced by a few couplets from Pope, their allusions to the long past are helped by a few lines from Thomson's "Season." Perhaps all of us who write through weather hot and cold unconsciously drift into prose or verse that we read when our imagination was most ardent, before the sharp winds of experience had blown upon us. A few days since it was our good fortune to read an editorial on the benefits of free trade within national limits and the glorious results that would follow the establishment of free trade throughout the world. The scribe had a basis of feet for his glowing paragraph—Free trade within the limits of the United States has worked well—and on this he based his poetic vision of what splendid things would follow in the wake of free trade in all parts of the planet. It sounded like the college essays that were so popular fifty years ago. But the editor did not say and it is highly probable that he did not know that talk in favor of international free trade has been accompanied by attempts to fetter trade within our own borders. Whenever the friends of a national system of protection have planned great things narrow state views or narrower local views have stood in the way—sometimes their obstructive tactics counted for little supply the abnormally war period, shortage of fuel, with unprecedented damage in most countries, wafer power resource "Development was made in the countries on imported fixtures strides of technical electric generation that have taken place.

As between those otherwise entitled, the board shall supply water or reelectric energy to political sub-divisions near the source of supply water or electric energy to possible needs in preference to those more remote." In addition to the Federation of American Farmers, the act already has received the endorsement of the League of California Municipalities, comprising 250 cities, the California Federation of Labor, the Los Angeles power league, the El Dorado county Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations. Campaign offices have been opened at 905 First National Bank building, San Francisco, and offices will be opened in other cities. PEACE TREATIES EXECUTE THE POPULAR MANDATE Former President Wilson is quoted by a political friend as saying that the peace treaties with Germany and Austria, negotiated by the Harding administration and ratified by the senate, are a "crowning disgrace." This recalls the remark made by the lady in the Boston art museum concerning a nude statue: "Isn't that positively indecent?" and the rejoinder of Henry Ward Beecher, who stood near her: "No, madam, but that remark was." The peace treaties get us out of the war Mr. Wilson kept us out of. That is all they pretend to do. They do not revise the map of Europe. They do not arrange payment of the indemnities to the allies. They do not specify the territory, shipping and materials the defeated nations must give up to the victors. But in view of the fact that we are not Europe's boundary makers, nor the recipients of any of the spoils of war, these are matters that may be safely left for settlement to the parties in interest, who signed a treaty months ago determining all these questions beyond our power to alter. For what President Wilson did at Paris he never had a mandate from the American people, other than the returns of 1918 electing a Republican congress after he had declared that such a result would repudiate him before the world. But for what President Harding, Secretary Hughes and the senate have done there was a mandate clear and unmistakable in the election of 1920 against the policy of permanent entanglement in European or those nearest points of origin. But the editor did not say and it is highly probable that he did not know that talk in favor of international free trade has been accompanied by attempts to fetter trade within our own borders. Whenever the friends of a national system of protection have planned great things narrow state views or narrower local views have stood in the way—sometimes their obstructive tactics counted for little, but there have been cases in which they delayed the chariot of progress. It was as a national statesman that John C. Calhoun thought of roads, canals, factories and expansion on broad lines; after he turned his back upon his noble beginning he wasted his mental treasures in a morbid attempt to show that a part of the union was greater than the whole. In a South Carolina that talked of free commerce a sailor of African descent could not land except at peril of arrest, and unless his captain proved his freedom he might be sold into bondage. This was hardly an enlightened commercial policy, yet it had its defenders and even its eulogists. Here and there in the south were local restrictions so oppressive and vexatious that the free negro scarcely believed in his own freedom and the skilled workman from abroad grew weary of them and started northward. What ever was said of the bitterness of Hinton Rowan Helper, it was the nouns, not the adjectives, that made his book impressive. Hand in hand with the free trade of antebellum days went the jealousy that compelled railroads to change grades at state lines less the dignity of sovereign states should be wounded. The old state banks with a currency that might pass at one point, be discounted fifty miles away, and utterly rejected ere it had journeyed twice that distance belong to the same era, and breathe the same spirit. Even now it is said that a tail boatman was asked if he could buy some wood with this most unsound money, and that he reported that he had made a trade on a basis of a cord for cord. Illinois sent that boatman to congress, and if he failed to enter the senate he won the greatest prize the country can bestow. Free trade abroad was desired by the planters who dreaded the growth of all towns in which free labor earned wages. It was a free trade clique that denounced the granting of lands to college essays that were so popular fifty years ago. Professor Gibson that the use of water man power. Each power units now be Niagara Falls will tion only two men estimated that to power from a series steam plants, more would be required, national labor involved and tear of roads, rolling stock were to the number of men considerably increase. TOURNAMENTS Invitations will be by the Tournament to the cities' entries in the Tour pageant on January 7th day for the parade and West' football first falling on S. The out of town event on January 1st notable as any event hoped by the Tournaments that an event voted to other cities' events may be developed. It is planned to be notable list of prizes this time and this shortly announced. Of Roses association that the growing pageant is annually er crowd of people bered in the hundred This, the tournament a golden opportunity present their advance for the great crowds sees the pageant o who are merely touls southern California. It is expected that will number some 100 be the largest in this fair. Advance inquiry about making For what President Wilson did at Paris he never had a mandate from the American people, other than the returns of 1918 effecting a Republican congress after he had declared that such a result would repudiate him before the world. But for what President Harding, Secretary Hughes and the senate have done there was a mandate clear and unmistakable in the election of 1920 against the policy of permanent entanglement in European politics. The United States would have had peace with Germany and Austria more than two and a half years ago but for the fact that largely at the instance of President Wilson the Paris peace conference abdicated its proper functions, and instead of negotiating a peace, undertook the task of organizing a world government in violation of every principle for which President Wilson had declared in the promulgation of his fourteen points. America had no reason for participating in a peace treaty which imposed upon the defeated powers conditions so clearly impossible of fulfillment that already they have been modified and have brought all Europe to the brink of financial disaster. That we should have gone in as guarantors of financial and territorial indemnities imposed upon the defeated powers, when we were declining to share in them, was an intolerable proposal, which the American people have repudiated. We do not have a "peace without victory," but we do have a peace without indemnities and reparations imposed by us for the benefit of others. Those who reap the material rewards of victory may well undertake the obligations and responsibilities connected with the settlement of the account. All that this country wanted was the defeat and surrender of our war time asked if he could buy some wood with this most unsound money, and that he reported that he had made a trade on a basis of a cord for cord. Illinois sent that boatman to congress, and if he failed to enter the senate he won the greatest prize the country can bestow. Free trade abroad was desired by the planters who dreaded the growth of all towns in which free labor earned wages. It was a free trade clique that denounced the granting of lands to free settlers. Long after the war it was Reagan, of Texas, who championed the harsh measures that might have bankrupted hal four railroads. Restrictions on labor movements, and peonage little better than slavery have existed in the commonwealths that had most to say about the blessings of free trade and an unfettered commerce in every sea. All this was well known to the Republicans of 1870 or 1880. But the red dog money is forgotten, the states rights leaders of bygone years have passed away, and young voters grow up without knowledge of the conditions that once existed. We have free trade throughout our own borders, and well is it that we have, though we do not want free trade with the coolie in far Shanghai and the ryot on the banks of the Ganges. For our free trade among ourselves we have no cause to thank any of those who have sought to beat down our tariff walls. RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF WATER POWER Two-thirds of the water power now utilized in the world has been developed during the last ten years, Prof. A. H. Gibson, of Manchaster, England, pointed out at the recent meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. "The urgent demand for energy to supply the abnormal requirements of the war period, combined with a world shortage of fuel, was responsible for the unprecedented rate of development in most countries with available water power resources." he declared. "Development was particularly marked in the countries normally dependent on imported fuel." This development was made possible by vast strides of technical development in electric generation and transmission that have taken place recently. Since 1915 France has put into commission some 850,000 water power, and the country now has 1,500,000 horse power under control as compared with 750,000 before the war. Italy schemes totaling about 300,000 horse power are under way and it is estimated that the total output will shortly amount to 2,000,000 horse power. Japan, which only very recently began to investigate her water powers, has since 1916 developed more than 1,000,000 horse power, or almost 20 per cent of her available resources. In Canada and the United States many large schemes have recently been brought into service and some extremely large installations are now in course of construction or being projected. In Canada the total development, some 23,000,000 horse power in 1910 was almost three times as great as in 1910. In the United States the development had increased from something under 2,000,000 horse power in 1901 to over 5,000,000 in 1908 and to nearly 10,000,000 in 1920. Water power development results in the conservation of coal and petroleum and will allow their use in the manufacture of iron, steel, cement, and other products that utilize the peculiar chemical properties of these carbon fuels. Professor Gibson also pointed out that the use of water power conserves man power. Each of the 40,000 horses THE POOR RICH MAN Dr. F. E. Clark, of Boston, known as the Father of the Christian Endeavor society, has contributed many interesting articles to the press of the country, signing them "Pilgrim." The following by Dr. Clark is taken from an exchange: In these hard times we largely expend our sympathy on the poor who are now poorer and rightly so; but the rich have their tribulations, too. It is said that many of the great landed estates in England, which have been in the same family for hundreds of years, will have to be sold because of enormous taxation. "Good enough," you say; but real hardship and mental anguish, if not physical, are often the result. I happen to know of such a case. The Earl of Meath is one of the great Irish land-holders and a Christian nobleman as well as a man-made nobleman. I once traveled with him to India, and found him one of the most kindly, simple, democratic gentlemen I ever met. Lady Meath is equally devoted to Christian work, and is the founder of an organization for the young called Ministering Children, much like Junior Endeavor. I have just read in English papers that the earl has given notice to his tenants that he must cut down expenses or go into bankruptcy. He has given to each of them an audited statement showing that his estate brings him an income of $84,130. Of that sum he is obliged to lay out on "compulsory charges"—income taxes, poor and land taxes, repairs, insurance, pensions, etc.—$83,085, leaving him for his personal yearly income $1045. He tells his tenants that he will have to cut down the workmen on the estate to four, discharging no faithful men, but pensioning them, and that he has cut his personal expenses pleasure grounds, retaining but one man-servant, and selling his automobile and horses and carriages, and is living in the simplest manner possible. Such facts should tend to assuage the bitterness of some people against the rich or the reported rich. They have their troubles, too. A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT In the game of life, the wooden-headed man makes the most boneheaded plays. A bride feels it her duty to appear happy in public, but when she's alone she probably tells herself the truth. NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY AT PRIVATE SALE In the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Alameda. PROBATE. In the Matter of the Guardianship of the Person and Estate of Loraine Liles Bauer, (formerly Loraine V. Liles) a minor. No. 30051. Department No. 4. Notice is Hereby Given that the undersigned Anna B. Russell, the Guardian of the Person and Estate of the above named minor, will sell, on or after the 19th day of November, 1921, at private sale to the highest and best bidder, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter mentioned, and subject to the confirmation of the said Superior Court, all of the right, title, interest and estate of said Loraine Liles Bauer, (formerly Loraine V. Liles), a minor, in and to all of that certain lot, piece or parcel of land, situate, lying and being in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, described as follows: to-wit: Water power development results in the conservation of coal and petroleum and will allow their use in the manufacture of iron, steel, cement, and other products that utilize the peculiar chemical properties of these carbon fuels. Professor Gibson also pointed out that the use of water power conserves man power. Each of the 40,000 horsepower units now being installed at Niagara Falls will require for operation only two men per shift. It was estimated that to produce the same power from a series of small factory steam plants, more than 800 men would be required, while if the additional labor involved in trucking, wear and tear of roads, railroad tracks and rolling stock were taken into account, the number of men needed would be considerably increased. TOURNAMENT OF ROSES Invitations will be shortly sent out by the Tournament of Roses association to the cities and civic organizations of southern California to make entries in the Tournament of Roses pageant on January 2, for January 2 is the day for the parade and great "East and West" football classic next year, the first falling on Sunday. The out of town entries for the pageant on January 1 of this year were as notable as any ever made and it is hoped by the Tournament of Roses officials that an even larger section devoted to other cities and civic organizations may be developed for the 1922 event. It is planned to have a particularly notable list of prizes for such entries this time and this prize list will be shortly announced. The Tournament of Roses association will also point out that the growing importance of the pageant is annually attracting a greater crowd of people, now to be numbered in the hundreds of thousands. This, the tournament officials state, is a golden opportunity for other cities to present their advantages to visitors for the great crowd which annually sees the pageant contains thousands who are merely tourists looking over southern California. It is expected that the 1922 pageant will number some 150 entries and will be the largest in the history of the affair. Advance inquiries for information about making entries indicates given to each of them an audited statement showing that his estate brings him an income of $84,130. Of that sum he is obliged to lay out on "compulsory charges"—income taxes, poor and land taxes, repairs, insurance, pensions, etc.—$83,085, leaving him for his personal yearly income $1045. He tells his tenants that he will have to cut down the workmen on the estate to four, discharging no faithful men, but pensioning them, and that he has cut his personal expenses to the quick, having closed his conservatory, hot-houses, kitchen garden,and WANTED MAN PINCHED IN TENNESSEE Crook Who Got Drop on Huntington Beach Officer Arrested Charged with robbing H. J. Hines, Huntingtoin Beach police officer, of his revolver, William Harvey, alias Henry Coyle, is under arrest at Memphis, Tenn., according to a telegram received by Sheriff C. E. Jackson from the chief of police of the Tennessee metropolis. Sheriff Jackson stated that he would send one of his deputies after the prisoner. Officer Hines was relieved of his gun about three months ago, when he attempted to arrest Harvey. The officer thought that Harvey was intoxicated. He approached him. The suspicious one suddenly turned on the officer, whipped out his own gun and ordered Hines to surrender his. Harvey jumped on a passing automobile and disappeared. County authorities worked on the case for weeks. They dug up pictures of Harvey, who, it is understood, was known to the Huntington Beach officers and recognized by Hines. They also found that Harvey had served time at San Quentin for burglary and that upon being paroled he was rearrested in San Francisco on the same charge. He jumped his bail in the Bay city and transferred his activities to Huntington Beach. A man closely resembling Harvey was arrested the day after the officer was robbed. The suspect furnished an alibi and secured his release. AURORA BOREALIS 312 MILES HIGH A Norwegian scientist, M. Stormer, was able to have photographed at several points in his country, the aurora borealis seen last May, which upset telegraph lines and cables and provided given to each of them an audited statement showing that his estate brings him an income of $84,130. Of that sum he is obliged to lay out on "compulsory charges"—income taxes, poor and land taxes, repairs, insurance, pensions, etc.—$83,085, leaving him for his personal yearly income $1045. He tells his tenants that he will have to cut down the workmen on the estate to four, discharging no faithful men, but pensioning them, and that he has cut his personal expenses to the quick, having closed his conservatory, hot-houses, kitchen garden,and THE terms and conditions of sale: Cash, lawful money of the United States; ten (10 per cent) per cent. of the amount bid to be paid at the time of the acceptance of the bid, and the balance on confirmation of the sale by said Superior Court.

Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 1st day of October, 1921, assessment No. 58 of $5 per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation payable at once to the Secretary of the Company, at Anaheim, Orange County, California. Any stock upon which this assessment CAN'T USE MOTOR BOATS IN HUNTING DUCKS No changes have been made in the federal regulations which prohibit the use of power boats in taking wild fowl, according to a statement just issued by the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture. It will be unlawful, therefore, to hunt ducks in the state of Maryland and elsewhere with a boat equipped with an engine, and especially will it be a violation of the law for persons to run down with motor boats ducks which have settled among decrops previously placed, a practice which is generally known as "bush-whacking." Erroneous reports had been circulated in the vicinity of the Susquehanna flats that changes had been made in the federal regulations governing of wild fowl from power boats and as a consequence persons relying upon such rumor were getting their boats in shape to use in pursuing ducks during the coming season. The regulations do not prevent a person from using a motor boat to go to and from the ducking grounds or to attend to ducking outfits but the biological survey points out that while it will be lawful to pick up dead ducks from a power boat it is a violation of the law to shoot ducks from such a boat. AURORA BOREALIS 312 MILES HIGH A Norwegian scientist, M. Stormer, was able to have photographed at several points in his country, the aurora borealis seen last May, which upset telegraph lines and cables and provided a gorgeous display in many parts of the world, says the Detroit News. Comparing these photographs in relation to known stars photographed at the same time, he has calculated the height at which this aurora borealis was spread forth—namely, 312 1-2 miles. Thus, since the aurora borealis is by proof an electrical illumination of the rarified air gases, the earth's atmosphere extends at least that distance above the earth's surface.
