VIEWING SIGHTS OF GAY FRENCH CAPITAL MR. and MRS. N. H. MITCHELL ARRIVE SAFELY IN EUROPE Everything Worth While on the Continent Will Be Seen Before They Return—Looking Forward to the Famous Concerts at Welshbaden—Bastanchurys Among the Passengers on the City of Paris, Which Carried Them Across. Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell, their daughter, Blanche, and her husband, have arrived safely in Europe, and went direct to Paris on landing. Judging from the following letter, written by Mrs. Mitchell and received at this office the first of the week, they are enjoying themselves, and will see all that is worth while in Europe before returning. Mrs. Mitchell writes: Paris, May 9, 1922. Oud wonderful ship, the Paris, of the French line, brought us from New York, sailing for Havre, in six days, into France and the old world. A trip by train of four hours over one of the best parts of a great farming district in France, and we were again in Paris, and soon were most comfortably settled in a suite at the Hotel Lutetia, where we were stopping on our trip here two years ago. The ocean did not seem to disturb the quiet attitude of our big monster ship, except for a few hours while we were in the covers a space of 360 feet long and 45 feet high, in all 5400 square feet, a masterpiece of a work so well painted and composed. We spent some hours in looking and admiring the great work displayed in the immense circle that gives it a similarity to the construction of the Pantheon. A drive by auto, with a splendid guide, brought us to see many places that are today the points of interest aimed to be seen by all tourists to Paris, such as the Verdun column, a reminder of the glories of the old Napoleon. The bronze and iron used in its construction, was gotten from the canons, and brought to Paris by him from the battle of Austerlitz. Then the Plaza Bastile, with the colume de Juillet, commemorating the fall and destruction of the Bastile prison. Further on the statue of the Creation of the Republic of France, a great work of art in marble and bronze. Then a visit to Notre Dame and the Pantheon, the burial place of some of the old royalty of France, and many of the prominent men in the history of France. The front is a portico in imitation of the Agrilpa Pantheon at Rome. From Plaza Concorde to the Arc de Triumpha a beautiful ride into the park caller Bois de Boulogne, the play ground of Paris, with wonderful roads winding in many directions and finally to Champ De Mars, the race track of Paris. When evening came, we were wondering at the possibility of doing so much in one day. May 10th. Just returned from an excursion with Cook's from Fontainebleau, with excellent guide. This was the home of many of the kings of France, and the place of the birth and celebration of marriages. The splendor of the interior of the palace of Fontainebleau can never be described, to have a real conception, as to what is revealed to your sight, in this wonderful building. The park surrounding the palace contains 53,000 acres. Returning to Paris over a large part of Age of France great hall, called so wonderful, sorbed and wrinkled.

B. the French line, brought us from New York, sailing for Havre, in six days, into France and the old world. A trip by train of four hours over one of the best parts of a great farming district in France, and we were again in Paris, and soon were most comfortably settled in a suite at the Hotel Lutetia, where we were stopping on our trip here two years ago. The ocean did not seem to disturb the quiet attitude of our big monster ship, except for a few hours while we were in the regions of New Foundland. Our daughter, Blanche, and her husband, Dr. Little, of Logansport, Indiana, are with us, and this being their first trip to Europe they are elated over it all, and it pleases me very much to see the good times they seem to be having as we go along. The past week we spent seeing the wonderful art galleries of the Louvre and Luxomborg, also the tomb of Napoleon, the Eifel towner and the Pantheon. A new attraction in Paris is now visited by all tourists, and is called Pantheon De La Guerre, and is in reality a picture of great sentiment as to what today is a memory only of the world war. The work is done is paste!, and Versailles," a distance of about 14 miles from Paris, was our object on Sunday last, May 7th, but aside from seeing the palace and the beautiful gardens around it, we were disappointed at not seeing the fountains play, as had been advertised. However, a day spent there is very full and one returns to Paris very tired, but more than pleased with what you have seen there. Versailles, the gorgeous ex-home of Louis XIV, and the Golden 10th. Just returned from an excursion with Cook's from Fontainebleau, with excellent guide. This was the home of many of the kings of France, and the place of the birth and celebration of marriages. The splendor of the interior of the palace of Fontainebleau can never be described, to have a real conception, as to what is revealed to your sight, in this wonderful building. The park surrounding the palace contains 53,000 acres. Returning to Paris over a large part of this great domain you endorse the little statement in Cook's guide book, "Napoleon in his memoirs, written at St. Helena, refers to this place, saying, That is indeed a home worthy of kings."

GEORGE DUNTON FORD LINCOLN FORDSON SALES AND SERVICE Phone 63 - Anaheim, Cal. AGE OF FRANCE. The paintings in the great hall, called the war gallery, are so wonderful, that one is entirely absorbed and wishes the day were longer. The immense mirror parlors, where the peace treaty was signed, was seen again, then a short walk to the Grand and the Petit Trianon, in all great sight-seeing day spent. In spite of autos and taxis at your command, we are compelled to do a lot of walking and it is at times all one is equal to do. However, we are making the very best of our time while here, and will be ready to start our going to Germany by way of Rheims and Verdun, taking in the battlefields of that region on to Luxombourg and to Trier. From there to the old home in Berncastel, on the Mosel, and a trip down the Rhine by boat. We are having lovely days and I know Germany will be our best enjoyment. Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden are on our list also Wiesbaden, where the American tourists nearly all congregate, for there is music and a good time in store, that I would not expect here among the French. Paris and its outlying palaces are all admiration and you marvel at the enormous extravagance the kings were able to indulge in, but a good time I look for, will be in the old Vaterland. The orchestra in our hotel are five pieces of excellent quality, but I know the Kurhans in Wiesbaden will have 40 artists of the very best talent and ready every afternoon and evening to regale the visitors in concerts of the highest selections. The latter part of July and August we will spend in the Swiss mountains, and come back to Germany in September and go by way of Amsterdam and Tthe Hague over to London, and sail for New York from Southampton. Anaheim is booming. I am sure as ever. Mrs. Bastanchury and her oldest son, with his wife and children, also Mr. J. B.

Change of boundaries of precincts, creation of new precincts and consolidation of precincts made by annexation were ordered. U. S. NOT HINDERING The want of good faith on the part of those who are conducting propaganda for the purpose of involving the United States in European affairs is clearly manifest when it is represented that commercial relations with Russia await the action of the United States government. The United States is not at war with Russia and never has been. If any American wishes to trade with Russia as either a buyer or seller he is at perfect liberty to do so. The fact of the matter is that Russia has nothing to sell which other nations wish to buy, and Russia has no money which to purchase goods that are for sale in other countries. The title to property in Russia is uncertain, in view of the soviet policy of confiscation. Because of the suspension of production there is practically nothing in Russia for sale. Because the soviet government plundered the banks and seized all the capital of men who had saved, and has printed paper rubles to such an amount that the currency is now of little value, there is no money in Russia with which to buy. Neither has Russia any credit. A nation that has once adopted the policy of repudiation and confiscation can never again enjoy the confidence of another nation or the men of other nations until the policy of confiscation and repudiation has been reversed.

WOULD WRECK ROADS TO AID PLUMB PLAN The utter had faith of the propositions of the Plumb plan for government acquisition of the railroads is demonstrated by their attitude on the question of railroad income and railroad expenses. The leaders of the Plumb plan movement are either railroad employees or profess to speak in behalf of men engaged in railroad employment. One of their demands is higher wages for the railroad employees. If they were asking this in good faith they would also desire that the railroads have financial resources which would enable them to pay the higher energy and driving looking; models changes for you for men, too these clothes.

MERRITT, City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. 6-1-3t The leaders of the Plumb plan movement are either railroad employees or professors to speak in behalf of men engaged in railroad employment. One of their demands is higher wages for the railroad employees. If they were asking this in good faith they would also desire that the railroads have financial resources which would enable them to pay the higher wages they demand. But instead of advocating higher incomes for the railroad companies they advocate a reduction in freight and passenger rates, which would necessarily mean a smaller income. When these radical leaders advocate higher expenditures for the railroads on the one hand and a lower income on the other, their ultimate purpose can be only one thing—bankruptcy of the railroads and their taking over by the government. The country is presented, therefore, with the question whether it prefers private operation of the railroads on a basis of income which will permit the payment of reasonable wages to employees, or government ownership with operation by ya committee of employees who will fix their own compensation and turn to the government for federal appropriations to make up deficits that may be incurred. The advocates of the Plumb plan, who speak in behalf of the employees, are thoroughly satisfied on one point—that government ownership pwith operation by representatives of the employees will mean higher wages and shorter hours, both wages and rules of work being fixed by political managers who will have continually in mind the votes to be cast by the employees at the next election. The advocates of the Plumb plan PAGE THREE Copyright 1922 Hart Schaffner & Ma: ew Styles with Spring New Styles with Spring Color and Life I'll feel the spring spirit in these clothes; new energy and drive.

"By All Means Get a Fit." A. Yungbluth Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes for government acquisition of the railroads are consistent in one respect—they advocate similar government acquisition of coal mines, or timber resources, water power, ocean shipping, steel mills, and other large manufacturing enterprises. They advocate for all of these large industries the same scheme of ownership and management that they advocate for the railroads. Practically the only producing industry they would not have taken over and paternally maintained by the government would be farms. What the farmer's wages or his hours of labor shall be have no concern to the advocates of government ownership. They want free trade in farm products in order that of the Plumb plan either railroad employees to speak in behalf in railroad employtheir demands is high railroad employees.

The quibb plan, who speak employes, are thoron one point—that pershi pwith operation of the employees wages and shorter rules of work critical managers who ally in mind the by the employees at of the Plumb plan manufacturing enterprises. They advocate for all of these large industries the same scheme of ownership and management that they advocate for the railroads. Practically the only producing industry they would not have taken over and paternally maintanied by the government would be farms. What the farmer's wages or his hours of labor shall be have no concern to the advocates of govern­ment ownership. They want free trade in farm products in order that they may buy their food at the lowest possible price. They want agriculture and small merchandising to be prac­ tically the only important industries not under government management. How they expect the government to raise enough revenue by taxing the minority to pay the deficits that would be incurred by the government-operated industries it is difficult to ima­gine. This however, is their program when carried to its ultimate results, and it is this program the more con­servative element of our citizenship must combat. CALIFORNIA VACATIONS Few people are so wedded to the vacation habit as the Californians. Young people now grow up in blissful ignorance that there ever was a time or place where "vacation," in the modern sense, for workaday people, did not exist. They look upon a more or less extended period of summer relaxation as one of the rights to the pursuit of happiness which the Declaration of Independence set down as "self-evident." The vacation spirit is an outgrowth of increased ease and prosperity, as are good clothes and automobiles. None of these things is absolutely neces­sary, but they are desirable, if nothing more than as proof that life is not all grind. We only live one lifetime, and the most cheerful philo­osophy is that which takes some ploasure as it goes along. The social evolution of increased leisure is one of the golden opportunities of California. In these days of rapid transit, our state is no longer far removed from other states. It can be reached in short time and at reason­able expense from any part of the country. Our neighborhood has immensely expanded, somewhat as the radio has expanded our radius of speech. QUIZZING MR.
