EUROPE MUST FIGHT EUROPE'S OWN WARS The New York Times, commenting upon the war in Asia Minor, and its menace of another European conflagration, says mournfully: "The now settled American policy—settled until further notice—is to stand apart from all European concerns and rejoice that we have nothing to do with French or English, Greek or Turk. * * We may be right in washing our hands of the world's troubles, but it is hardly a thing to boast of in public. * * What shall be said of those editors who fought the league of nations tooth and toe nail, yet who are now hoarsely adjuring Great Britain, by all that is sacred to our common civilization, to "hold back the Turk." If England should reply by asking us to come along and help, we should have to draw back into our shell again and say that we confine ourselves in such affairs to exhorting others to do their duty." The situation in the near east is one that makes Americans generally rejoice that the United States senate rejected the covenant of the league of nations, which would have made us parties to this war, and the proposed mandate for a portion of Armenia, which would have involved us in the age old war, breeding jealousies, hatreds and conflicting ambitions of Europe and Asia. The crisis in the near east is due directly to the selfishness of the powers with which we would have been associated in the league of nations, which has caused them to resume again the old game of playing one little nation against another in the Balkans that precipitated the world war. Civilized Europe could have put the Turk back into Asia, where he belongs at any time during the past half century. In 1924, which shall include the farmer and labor vote, will have to include the solution of some serious difficulties before it can succeed* The A. F. of L. chief, Mr. Gompers, congratulated his followers on Labor Day that labor's war wage had not been reduced on an average more than 5 per cent during the past two years of deflation and that it stood at somewhere near 180 per cent of its pre-war level. This is fine for the A. F. of L., but in order to interest the farmer something must be proposed which will restore the price of corn to 180 per cent of its pre-war level. Just now it is below the pre-war level in price. It must be presumed that the power of vast organizations of labor, such as the coal miners' union and the railroad shop crafts' union, to resist adjustment of its wages has had much to do with the maintenance of so nearly the war wage of which President Gompers congratulates, and so long as this success for labor comes out of the farmer in war prices for coal and abnormally high freight rates, something must be done to harmonize the interests of the farmer with that of organized labor before he can be interested in the farmer-labor coalition. When wages went up on the railroads freight rates went up to pay the bill. When farm prices went down and it was necessary to get freight rates down, the government labor board attempted to readjust wages, but was met with a strike. Since then farmers' elevators have been unable to get cars to move their grain, and fruit farmers have lost millions with their fruit rotting on the ground. Some system will have to be devised which will prevent the strike on railroads ruining the farmers' business before he can see his salvation in a coalition with the A. F. of L. RECLAMATION MORE Adds Rich Agriculture More than usual thur P. Davis, reclamation service interior, June completion of 2nd station of the nation.

Some constructed are Arizona, 280 for rock in Idaho, 360 phant Butte in N and the Pathfinder dams in Wyoming respectively. The works included nails, tunnels, fences, transmiss lines, roads, railways and various other incidental to the irrigation project. The crisis in the near east is due directly to the selfishness of the powers with which we would have been associated in the league of nations, which has caused them to resume again the old game of playing one little nation against another in the Balkans that precipitated the world war. Civilized Europe could have put the Turk back into Asia, where he belongs at any time during the past half century, but it served the purposes of first one and then the other power or group of powers, to keep Constantinople in the hands of the Mohammedan. Certainly the Turk could have been ejected from Europe for good if the Versailles conference had made a sane and a final disposition of the problems before it. Since the world war ended France has been playing the Turk against the Greek. England, originally lukewarm in support of Greece, because warm in support of Greece because King Constantine is a brother-in-law of the former German kaiser, now sees in the overwhelming victory of the Turks the prospect of a holy war and an attack upon British rule in India, Mesopotamia and Egypt. The Russian bolshviki, who are against civilization in general and England in particular, see in the return of the Turk to Constantinople the prospect of British downfall in the east and Russian control of the Black sea and access to the Mediterranean. The whole episode is the result of plotting and intrigue by nations anxious to get the best of it for themselves and put it over on the rest of the world. And now publications which persist in the delusion that the United States ought to continue to be a personal world's easy mark and good thing, refuse to be comforted because we are not dispatching troop ships to the Dardanelles. Those who suppose that the American people would tolerate American involvement in another European war on no better ground than that it is our duty to keep peace among the quarrelling, fighting, nationalities of Europe, have failed to read aright the verdict of the American people in 1920. If the big and little powers of Europe persist in the schemes of acquisition, oppression and conquest, they will have to fight it out among themselves without the contribution of an American dollar or an American life. SNAIL CONTROL SUBJECT OF STUDY The Los Angeles county horticultural commissioner's office has recently conducted a series of experiments on control of the common garden snail in citrus orchards. During the past few years, this pest has caused considerable damage to both foliage and fruit, and it is now present in approximately 250 acres of orchard in the Downey-Rivera district. The experiments conducted included the use of application of both liquid and dry materials, and also of poisoned baits of various sorts. Of the different materials used, the best results were obtained from application of dry, very finely powdered alum. The snails are readily dropped from the trees by this means and very satisfactory kills have resulted. Applications, including both labor and material, cost approximately 15 cents per tree, or less, it is reported, according to the size of trees to be treated. It is important that the alum be very finely powdered. It has been known for years that copper sulphate has both a toxic and repellent effect upon this pest, but there is some risk of injury from top spraying with even a comparatively dilute solution of this material. Bands of cloth dipped in copper sulphate solution gave excellent results both as a repellent and a killing agent. It was also observed that trees which had been treated with Bordeaux paste were not infested, provided the paste had been applied entirely around the trunk. It is apparent, the commission says, that the use of Bordeaux paste for this purpose would be more economical, from a labor standpoint at least, and probably equally effective. Other experiments with copper sulphate and Bordeaux mixtures are under way. In the control of the Mediterranean snail (Helix pisana), in San Diego county, A. J. Basinger, of the state government project crops in 1921 to 300, and about 70 was added from private projects supply from the other words, standpoint they has added a statue in the value of ducts to that of Georgia or to the crops of the state necinct. In this connection interesting to note the crops grown in federal projects $42.85 per acre average value on ten leading crops as a whole in technically three times time of the irrigated. Since the government delivery of crops produced lands have exceed value. This does large areas underserved government creased values p and stock produce the value of the government recalculated to amount 000.

So many of these programs come on Friday evening that county headquarters, recognizing the scout's obligation to the church, postponed the big Christmas rally, which was to be held in Fullerton Friday evening, until January 10, to be held in the Anaheim high school auditorium. One of the finest programs ever staged by the local council has been arranged for that date. Announcement has been made from county headquarters that the annual meeting of the council will be held on January 23, at 6:30 p.m., in St. Ann's Inn. A splendid program has already been promised, with Dr. R. B. Von Kleinsmid, president of the University of Southern California, as the principal speaker. The musical program will include numbers by the Orange County Choral Union male quartet, and others equally as good. Steps were taken last week to organize another new troop in Santa Ana to be known as Santa Ana troop No. 12, in the Spurgeon Memorial church. WHEN BOTH ENDS MEET The announced intention of the American Federation of Labor to start a third party movement for president paste were not infested, provided the paste had been applied entirely around the trunk. It is apparent, the commission says, that the use of Bordeaux paste for this purpose would be more economical, from a labor standpoint at least, and probably equally effective. Other experiments with copper sulphate and Bordeaux mixtures are under way. In the control of the Mediterranean snail (Helix pisana), in San Diego county, A. J. Basinger, of the state department of agriculture, has obtained kills estimated at from 95 to 98 per cent from the use of bran bait poisoned with calcium arsenate, in proportions of one part calcium arsenate to sixteen parts of bran. This bait was tried under orchard conditions in the Downey-Rivera district without kill. It is believed that the difference in results is attributable to the lack of sufficient moisture. Equally good results were obtained in San Diego with the use of poisoned bran bait on the common garden snail (Helix aspersa), so it is the opinion of the local horticultural department that those results could be duplicated here during the rainy season. Further experiments will be carried on by the horticultural commissioner's office, both with this material and with others under moister weather conditions, when the snails will be moving above more freely.

Davis, of the United States reclamation service, department of the interior, June 17, 1922, marked the completion of 20 years of the operation of the national reclamation act. The investment in construction during this period has been in round numbers $135,000,000. This investment has accomplished the construction of works by which about 1,675,000 acres of arid land in the west have been furnished with a complete water supply and about 1,100,000 additional acres in private projects have been furnished a supplemental supply under the provisions of the Warren act. On the government projects proper the area given comprises 31,462 farms, or an average area per farm of about 53 acres, and these farms support upwards of 30,000 families. With this investment mentioned the reclamation service has built canals aggregating over 13,000 miles in length, including 27 miles softnnels and 135 miles of flumes. The structures of all kinds and sizes number of 110,000. Some of the larger works constructed are the Roosevelt dam in Arizona, 280 feet high; the Arrowrock in Idaho, 349 feet high; the Elephant Butte in New Mexico, 306 feet; and the Pathfinder and Shoshone dams in Wyoming, 218 and 328 feet, respectively. The works include other dams, canals, tunnels, flumes, drains, power plants, transmission lines telsephone lines, roads, railroads, pumping plants and various other classes of work incidental to the development of large irrigation projects. webs and nests, seriously impaired their efficiency. The telephone insulator now used on certain types of toll circuits is of the "double-petticoated" type, that is, having two flared surfaces instead of one. This design protects the wires from short circuits due to dampness in wet weather and has been found greatly superior to the earlier types. By improving the shape of the groove in which the wire rests, it has been possible to make the insulator provide increased support for the wire, an important item when ice and wind impose heavy stresses on the lines. Although other improvements, such as the telephone repeater and the loading coll, have contributed largely to making long distance telephony possible, the humble glass insulator is still an important factor in providing service over aerial lines and has amply justified the years of research work which have been expended in improving it. ICELAND IS NOT DESOLATE PLACE NAME SUGGESTS Telephone System, Though in Infancy, Has Had Rapid Growth "Nowhere more than in Iceland have the telegraph and the telephone abolished distance," writes E. M. Newman in a recent number of the Menor. The island is webbed with lines, he adds, and the farmers are in constant touch with all parts. This statement will come as something of a surprise to the reader who still has the age-old misconception of this little known island which gave it its rather forbidding name. There is ice in Iceland, as the trouble hunters and repairmen of its telephone system, who meet the sleet storm problem in its most acute form, are prepared to testify. But the gulf stream HOW ABOUT THE PAYROLL? Democratic opponents of the protective tariff continue to talk big of increase in the cost of living which they say the tariff will impose, but they discreetly avoid discussion of the decrease in the means of living that this nation would experience without protection. Many Anaheim Citizens Have Profited By It. If you have backache, urinary troubles, days of dizziness, headaches or nervousness, strike at the seat of the trouble. These are often the symptoms of weak kidneys and there is grave danger in delay. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for kidney aliments—are endorsed by over 50,000 people. Your neighbors recommend this remedy—have proved its merit in many tests. Anaheim readers should take fresh courage in the straightforward testimony of an Anaheim citizen. C. E. Jordan, carpenter, 319 S. Philadelphia St., says: "My work is a strain on my kidneys and back. I had attacks of backache and a soreness across my kidneys that made it hard for me to do any stooping or lifting work. My kidneys acted irregularly, but Doan's Kidney Pills, bought at Anaheim's Drug Store, soon rid me of the backache and put my kidneys in good condition. I always recommend Doan's, for I know they are just as represented." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don' simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Jordan had.

They are not, however, in active service, but are being subjected to "life tests" under actual weather conditions. Frequent observations of the results of the exposure of those bits of glass to the elements are made by engineers of the Bell system research laboratories, on the roof of which the insulators are arranged. This is but one phase of research work, extending over four decades, which has produced the telephone insulator of today—a piece of equipment which, in spite of its apparent simplicity, plays an important part in the transmission of the delicate currents which make possible efficient telephoning over aerial lines. As in the case of many other forms of telephone equipment, the telephone insulator had its origin in similar apparatus used in connection with the telegraph. In the first telegraph lines no insulators were provided, the wires being held in slots in the cross arms by small wooden blocks. At a somewhat later date glass knobs were employed, followed by glass insulators with a single umbrella-like surface. Early in the development of the telephone it was found that this insulation was inadequate. Porcelain was tried but, while good electrically, it was found that insects soon entered the dark recesses underneath these opaque insulators and, by spanning the insulating surfaces with their "The Little New Year" is a very eager youngster.

Are you going to make him a present of malnutrition by feeding him on irregular meals of procrastination. Are you going to ruin his character (and maybe your own) by rows and rows of pleasant fibs to prevent a feeling of discomfort about his growing up into a harem-scarum boy? Like human children, he needs watching and guiding and discipline. You'll never have the opportunity of "raising' this particular lad again.
