NEW YEAR'S EVE And here we stand to say "Good-by!" Brief words—and yet we scarce know why, They bring a moisture to the eye, And to the heart some quakes and aches; We speak them very tenderly, With half a sob and half a sigh—"Old Year, good-by! Old Year good-bye!" Here we stand again on the border. land of Welcome and Good-by. There is so little between them and so much either side of them. When the great bell of time strikes the midnight hour, and 1922 passes into the land of long ago, there is one simple resolution that we can all make with pretty good surety that we can keep it till the next midnight chimes—that we will be a better man or woman in the next year than in the last. That won't be a hard resolution to fulfill in some degree, and if everyone is even a little better, there will be a heap more goodness, kindness, success and love in the world when 1923 rings out than there is now. The untried year brings with it another chance for all—a chance to make good where we have failed—a chance to benefit by what we have counted as failures in the year that is passing out. The old year has been a difficult one for many. Some have lost heart. The new year, which gives promise of so much that is better, will bring new courage and hope to them. If we can let the unhappy part of the past year go with it, and only remember the good, it will help toward all that is best in the new. One of the best things that we can hope for the untried year is that it will be a busy one for everybody. of these receipts were derived from the use of timber and forage, and the remainder from the use of lands, including water-power sites. The seventeen national forest of California, which are one of the greatest single assets of the state, yielded a revenue of $769,259. Of this amount $368,000 was derived from the sale of timber and $285,000 from the grazing of livestock. A unique revenue feature was the $50,000 secured from the leasing of national forest lands for summer homes, resorts and other recreational purposes. The income-producing business on the national forests showed remarkable stability, the forester's report states, especially in view of the depressed or uncertain conditions in the timber and livestock industries of the west, which afford the principal markets for national forest products. The abnormally low output of western saw mills, which caused a decrease in receipts from timber sales for the preceding year continued until the last quarter of the fiscal year 1922; but for that quarter they exceeded $620,000 and for the entire year they totaled $1,780,347, and were almost identical with those of 1921. Approximately 22 per cent of the cattle and 53 per cent of the sheep in the eleven western states are grazed on national forest ranges during part or all of each year. In California, 13 per cent of the range cattle and 22 per cent of the sheep are dependent on the national forests for a large part of their forage. The grazing business of the forests consequently reflects closely the conditions in the livestock industry of the west, which has been passing through one of the most severe financial depressions of its history. Twenty-five per cent of all national forests receipts are given to the counties in which they lie, to be used for... The old year has been a difficult one for many. Some have lost heart. The new year, which gives promise of so much that is better, will bring new courage and hope to them. If we can let the unhappy part of the past year go with it, and only remember the good, it will help toward all that is best in the new. One of the best things that we can hope for the untried year is that it will be a busy one for everybody. Work is the best promoter of goodness and happiness, and the best cure for trouble and sorrow that there is. When the solemn, happy bells "ring out across the snow," let them ring out with them the bad things and ring in all that is good and true and beautiful that is within the power of each one of us. SUBSCRIBERS CAN HELP IMPROVE OWN SERVICE Many Ways in Which Users of Telephone May Promote Efficiency From the viewpoint of the person desiring to talk, good telephone service consists in being able to reach promptly and without confusion any person desired and to talk satisfactorily and without interruption. It is seldom appreciated how important a part the subscribers themselves play in the giving of telephone service. The person desired should answer a call promptly and courteously. He should have sufficient telephone facilities so that his lines will not be busy an undue portion of the time. If he has a private branch exchange, he should provide himself with competent operators, and if he does not answer the telephone himself, he should make provision for someone else to answer it properly. The calling subscriber should know how to make his calls, he should give the call accurately and clearly to the operator, and he should pay attention to her repetition. He should know how to use the transmitter and receiver so as to obtain the maximum efficiency from those instruments. He should know the significance of such signals as the audible ringing signal, and he should know how to signal the operator. Subscribers on party lines should refrain from interference with other persons on their lines who may be talking. If there is failure in any of these ways, the subscriber cannot receive satisfactory service although per cent of the range cattle and 22 percent of the sheep are dependent on the national forests for a large part of their forage. The grazing business of the forests consequently reflects closely the conditions in the livestock industry of the west, which has been passing through one of the most severe financial depressions of its history. Twenty-five per cent of all national forests receipts are given to the counties in which they lie, to be used for schools and roads. SENATE OR SOVIET—WHICH DO WE WANT? The substantial people of the country would do well to heed the warning voiced by Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania, against thoughtless ridicule of the senate. Pepper has been in the senate but a short time, and cannot be suspected of having any prejudices in its favor such as might be acquired after long service. He went to the senate by appointment, which appointment was universally approved. He was recently re-elected practically without opposition. He has no personal interest in preventing criticism of the senate. It must be apparent to any thoughtful person that there are some thousands of people of various degrees of radicalism who would like to overthrow or hamper our system of government. They lose no opportunity to create a prejudice against it. They select the senate as one of their most frequent objects of attack, for the reason that it was formerly looked upon as a rich man's legislative body and out of touch with the welfare of the people. The "reds," whatever their degree of redness, are always denouncing the senate. When substantial citizens voice similar sentiments, they are uniting their influence with the forces of radicalism to destroy confidence in government, and when that has been accomplished, chaos will follow. This is not the way Senator Pepper says it, but it is the truth and probably what he had in mind. If any individual senator has done or failed to do anything of importance that merits criticism, it is not only the right, but the duty of free American citizens to express their opinions thereon. But condemnation of specific acts of commission or omission is one thing and a general denunciation of one of the constitutional branches of the govern- to her repetition. He should know how to use the transmitter and receiver so as to obtain the maximum efficiency from those instruments. He should know the significance of such signals as the audible ringing signal, and he should know how to signal the operator. Subscribers on party lines should refrain from interference with other persons on their lines who may be talking. If there is failure in any of these ways, the subscriber cannot receive satisfactory service although the telephone company does everything in its power. The functions of the telephone company in giving service which are most commonly recognized are the provision of adequate plant carefully planned by competent telephone engineers and properly maintained; the work of the traffic department which operates the plant and performs the actions necessary to connect one subscriber with another and the important work of the commercial department which handles the business relations with subscribers and which aids them in providing themselves with proper facilities to handle their telephone business. It must also provide adequate directories so that the subscriber may know with whom he can talk. NATIONAL FORESTS RETURN LARGE INCOME TO PUBLIC California Forest Yielded Over ThreeQuarters Million in Revenue Revenue amounting to $5,068,527 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, was paid into the federal treasury from the national forests, says Chief Forester W. B. Greeley in his annual report to the secretar yof agriculture, made public by the San Francisco headquarters of the forest service. Nearly four and a half million dollars This is not the way Senator Pepper says it, but it is the truth and probably what he had in mind. If any individual senator has done or failed to do anything of importance that merits criticism, it is not only the right, but the duty of free American citizens to express their opinions thereon. But condemnation of specific acts of commission or omission is one thing and a general denunciation of one of the constitutional branches of the government is entirely another. To secure the defeat of an unsatisfactory incumbent is entirely proper—to destroy public respect for a branch of the government is not only improper, but is bordering upon teaching of anarchy. There could be no more disturbing spectacle than to see the good people of the country join with the bad and vicious in undermining our government. SENIORITY ON THE FARM The question of seniority rights is not a tangled one. Apply it to your own business. If your hired man, after years of satisfactory treatment, quit in the middle of the harvesting season and left your crops to rot and another worker jumped into his place and helped save the day, would you expect to fire the new hand and give the other fellow back all his rights when he reached a point where he was willing to be forgiven. You would not. Neither would we. MR. GOMPERS PLEASE NOTE! Some persons do not like govern-ment by injunction, but a large major-ity of 110,000,000 American citizens stand opposed to government by strikers. ANAHEIM GAZETTE A NEW YEAR'S CARD Now what is here A word of cheer To herald in another year; May all its days be free of blame— A little nobler than your aim; May all its labors be confest A little better than your best, And all the joys within its scope A little brighter than your hope; And may each year be found, when past, A little dearer than the last. NATIONAL FORESTS PLAY HOST TO OVER 5 MILLION YEARLY Between five and seven million people visit the national forests each year, says the United States forest service in its annual report to the secretary of agriculture, made public by District Forester P. G. Redington. The national forests of California lead with more than one and one-half million visitors, and the popularity of these forests is increasing each year as they become better known and their recreational advantages more fully appreciated. The automobile and good roads, the report continues, have combined to effect a radical change in the outdoor habits of the American people. Vacation time is now a period of free movement, nonadic enjoyment of widely separated scenes, and of simple living in the open. Rich in scenic beauty and natural charms and offering the primitive attractions of the wilderness, the national forests afford an incomparable field for the indulgence of this wholesome tendency toward rational play and physical improvement. Within their limits, travelers by motor, by wagon, on horseback or on foot, and campers, hunters, fishermen, amateur photographers, naturalists and everybody else HOW JAPAN GREETS NEW YEAR Custom of Oriental Countries is to Give Special Performances in the Play Houses.

Even the animals are blessed in the churches. A correspondent who attended one of widely separated scenes, and of simple living in the open. Rich in scenic beauty and natural charms and offering the primitive attractions of the wilderness, the national forests afford an incomparable field for the indulgence of this wholesome tendency toward rational play and physical improvement. Within their limits, travelers by motor, by wagon, on horseback or on foot, and campers, hunters, fishermen, amateur photographers, naturalists and everybody else who wishes to come have equal opportunity. Care with fire and in camp cleanliness are the only requirements imposed upon their sojourn. The wide distribution and extent of the national forests, of which there are 17 in California covering an area of over 19,000,000 acres, and their proximity to thousands of cities and communities make them natural centers of summer recreation, particularly for the masses of people whose vacation must be inexpensive. The discouragement of recreational use of the forests would therefore be a distinct hardship, and failure to develop their outdoor life possibilities would mean withholding a form of public service which ranks in social and economic importance with the timber, forage and water-power values of these properties. One of the most recent recreational developments in the national forests is the establishment of municipal and community play areas. Counties such as Los Angeles and Riverside in California, and Gila county, Arizona, and cities such as Sacramento, Oakland, Berkeley and Los Angeles in this state; Denver, Colo., Salt Lake City, Utah, and Butte, Montana, now have programs which provide for maintaining summer camps within the national forests. This growing use means for the national forests new opportunities of service of immeasurable public value. California has already become famous throughout the nation for her climate, her tourists, her scenery, her fruit and her gold. Yet little has been known of California's industrial wealth, for which she is also destined to become famous. The aggregate value of the products manufactured in California is more than two billion dollars per year. And with her expanding harbor facilities, her ample power resources, her proximity to new sources of raw material, and her ideal climate for work and play, California's industrial growth has just begun. 78% of California Oil ture of confections—alitries which return their State to California every year.

Oxen, Cows, Sheep, Goats and Pigs Blessed in Church's of Italy, Spain and France In Italy, Spain and France more is made of New Year's day than Christmas and on St. Sylvester's eve as the last day of the year is called the utmost joyousness prevails. Even the animals are blessed in the churches. A correspondent who attended one of these quaint ceremonies, writes: The priest lifted high the host and said some words of benediction at which the people fell to their knees with a response. An acolyte with a holy-water sprinkler passed through the columns of animals deftly throwing the sacred water upon them. The oxen and cows were blessed first, then the sheep and goats and lastly the pigs. A moon nearly full glittered high above the mountain stones and combined with the light from the candles revealed the long, polished horns and heaving sides and sleek coats of the oxen and cows and the white wooly skins of the sheep. The acolyte passing among hteme, incensed them and their bellowing, bleating and squealing arose to a tumult. But, high above all, the voice of the priest was heard, as he chanted these words: "My children, God In his goodness sends me, his unworthy servant, here to bless your flocks, according to an ancient custom of our mountains, so that these animals by whose aid you live and may join in our religious ceremonies which usher in the New Year. Let us then sing a loud hosanna of praise to the ever-merciful Lord so lenient to sinners." A girl about to be married goes around in a dream and she's lucky if she doesn't wake up in a nightmare. Yet little has been known of California's industrial wealth, for which she is also destined to become famous. The aggregate value of the products manufactured in California is more than two billion dollars per year. And with her expanding harbor facilities, her ample power resources, her proximity to new sources of raw material, and her ideal climate for work and play, California's industrial growth has just begun. 78% of California Oil Refined Here Petroleum from California wells last year represented a value of $182,400,000. More than 78% of this petroleum was refined in California, the finished products having a value of more than a quarter billion dollars. Another great industry is the canning and preserving of fruits and vegetables. The aggregate value of the finished products runs over the two hundred million dollar mark. Steel shipbuilding almost equals the canning industry in total value of finished products. Meat packing is over the hundred million dollar mark. Flour milling reaches $75,000,000.
