DOLLAR WHEAT Wheat in Chicago has touched the dollar level. In other days this would have meant a rise, and that prosperity had reached the farmer. The owner of broad acres would have been jubilant. Today it means among other things, that the price of wheat has come down, and that the money it now commands does not pay for the trouble of sowing and reaping. The reason given for the slump is that there is no demand. The millions of people not engaged in pit speculation, not earning their livings in the sweat of the agriculturalist brow by betting whether wheat is to go up or go down, would like a little more explanation. They would like to know how there is no demand. Millions of people in other lands are hungry. They can't pay for food. They are not only hungry but starving. They make an urgent enough demand, but it is unbacked by cash. The fact that they perish for lack of wheat and that wheat falls in price because there is no demand for it, in the market sense, affords a saddening spectacle. It is one of the indications that civilization has a long journey to go in order to deserve the title. It isn't civilization yet; perhaps it is on its way. But few people in this prosperous United States have been conscious of any glut of wheat. They have noticed that flour—the form in which the grain comes into contact with them—has been so abundant as to suggest a lowering in the cost of products made from it. The old ten-cent loaf is a memory now. The five-cent loaf is even more remote. The mind with difficulty recalls it. Put down as a fact that if the farmer doesn't prosper, nobody will prosper but the profiteer, and the police may get him. When a farmer can get only a dollar, or less, for his wheat, the city hall has been converted into library quarters. A sunny balcony gives added reading room space much appreciated by the younger patrons. "Laguna Beach was ready with more than one plan for housing its branch library. The place chosen is the Putnam studio, where Miss Way graciously presides each afternoon. "San Juan Capistrano's new high school building is proving at once a beautiful community center in a library for the use of students and townspole. A large well-lighted room with direct entrance from outside has been set aside for this use. "Literature fresh from the press and that approved by time is available at Garden Grove for the library branch has been placed in a room adjoining the News, and Vernon King directs the welfare of both. "The most recently opened branch, La Habra, too is centrally located in the building of the Citizens' National bank. "Several of the schools that have joined the county library will serve also as community branches." AIRSHIPS MAY GUARD COAST With the turning of attention to the armament of the Pacific coast there will be a revival of air-craft building in the west if Brig. Gen. William E. Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, has his way. Gen. Mitchell has always been a firm advocate of the air service as a means of defense, and the bombing tests conducted last summer against shipg approachting the Virginia shore have strengthened his confidence in the efficiency of the aeroplane as a weapon, according to statements made before the University club recently. "The thing of which we are most proud as a result of the tests, is the fact that although hundreds of bombs were dropped, there was not a single dud," said the assistant chief of the city hall has been converted into library quarters.

Put down as a fact that if the farmer doesn't prosper, nobody will prosper but the profiteer, and the police may get him. When a farmer can get only a dollar, or less, for his wheat, and cannot grow the wheat at that rate, and wheat products remain at the war plane, there is no occasion to go to Denmark to find that something is rotten. TIME TO DIG OUT DEAD TREES There is no better time than the present to dig out sick or dead trees. Many thousands of deciduous fruit trees died during last spring from sour sap and other causes. Some growers may differ in this respect in saying that the ground is too hard, thereby necessitating hard work which would increase the expense. We fully agree that to wield a shovel and pick in hard soil these warm days would start a perspiration, but in doing so they are not miring down and packing the ground for several feet around the tree they are attempting to exhume. Take the advice of one who has practiced all methods, and dig your trees before the ground becomes saturated by the winter rains. As the earth is removed let it be well scattered over the ground. Don't leave it in a pile to be the first to go back into the hole next spring at planting time. Be careful to remove every vestige of dead roots and bark. Allow the hole to remain open and at planting time, fill it with nearby top earth, and if the newly planted tree is healthy, it will have a splendid opportunity to grow. CRIME IN WASHINGTON What Representative Roy G. Fitzgerald, of Ohio, has termed a "saturata of crime," is afflicting Washington on the opening of the great limitation of arms conference. Because of the widespread crime in the city, a general police shake-up has been threatened and an investigation ordered into this department. The representative said, "I am astonished at it (crime). Present conditions are a disgrace to the national capital." THE RED CROSS "The American faith with the prince birth and with the on it by congress." This declaration is of particular now when the Rex its annual roll call. The dues for the year. This is hardly be made. The obligation under its congress listed as follows: "To furnish vow and wounded of in accordance with Geneva;" "To act in man's lief and in accord and naval authority communication to people and theirs." "To continue of national and time of peace and mitigating the sufficence, famine, great national crisis." WORLD'S CAPITAL PRO TEM For a brief period Washington is virtually the capital of the world. The great men of the leading nations are there, the foreign policies, expenditure of the air service as a means of defense, and the bombing tests conducted last summer against shipg approaching the Virginia shore have strengthened his confidence in the efficiency of the aeroplane as a weapon, according to statements made before the University club recently. "The thing of which we are most proud as a result of the tests, is the fact that although hundreds of bombs were dropped, there was not a single duad," said the assistant chief of the air service. "Our men at all times have had the utmost confidence in their armaments, and the fact that every bomb dropped in the tests exploded, shows that that confidence was not misplaced." The hitting average with bombs is much higher than that of gun fire, according to Gen. Mitchell, and the wide operating range of planes makes them especially desirable for coast defense. In this connection a good deal of interest is being aroused by a new steel aeroplane being tried out by the war college. The machine is equipped with thirty Thompson rapid-fire rifles capable of discharging three thousand .45-callibre bullets in five seconds. The new machine is designed to operate against infantry and other land forces. A GIANT SUN Canopus, the giant of the solar system, is, according to a recent calculation, 49,000 times as bright as the sun. Its diameter is 134 times that of the sun; it is 18,000 times larger in surface and 2,420,000 times larger in volume. The distance from us, according to this calculation, is 489 light years. Suppose that instead of being at this enormous distance it were placed in the center of the solar system, in lieu of the sun. It would then occupy .85 of the space lying between the orbit of Venus, and as seen from the earth would subtend an angle of about 70 degrees of arc. Thus, when its lower limb was on our horizon its upper would be within 20 degrees of the zenith. Needless to say, no life could exist on earth with such a neighbor. GREAT PARTY BY SHIFT Orange county wives to the nu What Representative Roy G. Pitzer, of Ohio, has termed a "saturnalia of crime," is afflicting Washington on the opening of the great limitation of arms conference. Because of the widespread crime in the city, general police shake-up has been threatened and an investigation ordered into this department. The representative said, "I am astonished at it (crime). Present conditions are a disgrace to the national capital." Some of the facts as brought out have stirred members of congress, particularly at this time when distinguished men will be the guests of the nation. New York with a population of 5,620,048 had 3386 assault cases, while Washington with only 437,571 shows 2054 cases. In a partial investigation just completed by the clerk of the local police court it is shown that for the first nine months of this year there has been an increase of more than 20 per cent over 1920. If the diminution of population is taken into account, the increase is 40 per cent. Steps are being taken to raise Washington from her stigma. LOCATING LIBRARIES Orange county free library has no branch in a sanitarium or chicken brooder, but the way the question of housing the newly established branches is quizzed interesting," said Miss Margaret Lannington, county librarian. "A Brea the city trustees are backing the library branch and secured the show room of the Brex garage-free branch and reading room. A long table laden with magazines and shelves, well filled with books, attracts the eye of persons passing along the main street, and invite the stranger. "In Seal Beach an upside-down earth would subtend an angle of about 70 degrees of arc. Thus, when its lower limb was on our horizon its upper would be within 20 degrees of the zenith. Needless to say, no life could exist on earth with such a neighbor. WORLD'S CAPITAL PRO TEM For a brief period Washington is virtually the capital of the world. The great men of the leading nations are there, the foreign policies, expenditures, and general welfare of their respective states. The United States is pleased that such beneficial arrangements are being consummated within its borders, but after the conclusions have been reached there will be no disposition here to direct the affairs of the world. The conferences will return to their respective countries and engage in the work of putting into effect the relief made possible by the Washington agreements, free from any suggestions from America as to how they should proceed. If the abundant good will manifested among the armaments conferees as they gathered for the opening meetings can be translated into permanent agreements between them, the conference will adjourn with a bright record of accomplishments. MAN INJURED MYSTERIOUSLY Footpads Believed to Have Slugged E. M. Cooper E. M. Cooper, a resident of Fullerton, was either run down by an automobile on the highway near the Brea school Thursday evening or was sandbagged b ya footpad, his only clue to the mystery being the fact that he found himself lying in the middle of the road with a severely bruised head GREAT PARTY BY SHIFT Orange county wives to the nuptial upon a great occasion on Monday the Orange County members through entertain their banquet from Al Angeles.

GIRL CHECK PARK That Bernice old girl sentenced to a term of five years at San Quentin from prison on cording to inform authorities. The girl was and lacerated scalp and face, whereas he had been walking well to the side of the road. He was picked up by a friend and taken to the office of a doctor in Brea, where his injuries were dressed before he was taken to his home in Fullerton. Mr. Cooper is employed by the Pacific Gasoline company at their office in Brea canyon and was walking to Brea at about 7:30 o'clock, where he expected to take the bus for Fullerton. He heard no automobiles coming and thinks it is incredible that he could have been struck by a passing machine without hearing it approach, and believes it more likely that some one came from behind a pepper tree and hit him with a lead pipe with the object of robbery in view, and then was scared away by passing automobiles, as on regaining consciousness he looked up and down the road and saw automobiles going from him in both directions at a distance of several blocks. PLANS GREATER FARM BENEFITS Ambitious Program Proposed by Farm Bureau Man Extensive plans for the continuation of the work among Orange county dairymen, poultry breeders and agriculture clubs carried on in conjunction with the farm bureau by the extension division of the state college of agriculture at Berkeley, are expected to be carried out by Floyd Scott, newly appointed assistant farm advisor for Orange county. Scott will assist Farm Advisor Wahlberg in his work throughout the county. He will deal mostly with the dairy interests, poultry breeders and agriculture clubs. With a number of years of practical experience behind him, Scott is expected to prove a valuable addition to the staff of the extension division of the state college of agriculture in this THE RED CROSS KEEPS FAITH "The American Red Cross has kept faith with the principles which gave it birth and with the obligations laid upon it by congressional charter." This declaration by President Harding is of particular significance just now when the Red Cross is conducting its annual roll call of membership. The dues for the Red Cross are $1 a year. This is a statement that need hardly be made. The obligations of the Red Cross under its congressional charter are listed as follows: "To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war in accordance with the conventions of Geneva; To act in matters of voluntary relief and in accord with the military and naval authorities as a medium of communication between the American people and their army and navy; To continue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and to apply the same in mitigating the suffering caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods and other great national calamities; and To devise and carry on measures for preventing the same." The declaration of President Harding that the Red Cross has kept faith with the principles that gave it birth and with its obligation laid upon it by its congressional charter means a good deal. There can be no question as to the loyalty and sacrifice that the Red Cross should command in every community, from the largest city to the smallest hamlet, in the country. GREAT PARTY PLANNED BY SHRINERS OF COUNTY Orange county Shriners and their wives to the number of 500 are plan- Judge Williams, April 23, 1920, after being convicted of writing fictitious checks, apparently won an early release through good behavior. That she was pleased over the treatment she received at the prison and felt that her sentence had really been of benefit to her, considering the environment she had left, was expressed in a letter which Judge Williams recently received from her.
