France wants aid for herself, but deprecates possible efforts at rejuvenating German finances. Germany will accept favor from any land, but particularly from quarters which shall not tie her up more securely to servicing France in the future. Great Britain would like to have her debts to America forgotten, but it is doubtful English philanthropy is equal to viewing with equanimity so much aiding of France as might harmonize with the latter country's becoming (on whatever ground) the military power of the continent. Russia demands that she be given a say in how other lands there shall be dealt with. Unless this is done, Russia will withdraw from offending nations her rich trade—to be made rich in the future. All Europe, lately war-swept and hour wasted. Let her stick the lost 32 cents under miscellaneous and forget it. If she changes her butter-buying from grocer to butcher, that's of no consequence. The general food column will add the same either way. A flat sum should be taken out for the personal pocket and its details for gotten. Who cares whether wife prefers perfume or a show, whether husband buy cigars or takes a friend to lunch? Keeping accounts simply and as accurately as possible, holding pretty close to the budget, saves much worry and heartache. The first year is hard, the second easier, the third makes it as mechanical a task as ordering groceries. If one in a while one forgets the eggs, that is no argument against the system.

Russia demands that she be given a say in how other lands there shall be dealt with. Unless this is done, Russia will withhold from offending nations her rich trade—to be made rich in the future. All Europe, lately war-swept and still so needy of financial succor, is voicing two crises: That aid shall speedily come, and that it shall come according to the specific program offerred by each pleading power. It is a state of affairs almost impossible to comprehend to the degree of evolving a satisfactory solution. France, begging for American aid, at the same time speaks bitterly or rumors that America plans to do thus and so. It is not what France desires this country to undertake. And everywhere else we turn, the situation is much the same. How can contentment be brought to warring elements who cannot be content if all are served with equal justice? A CALIFORNIA COW MAKES HIGH RECORD Nine California cows now hold production records of over 1000 pounds butter fat in one year. The latest of these to add to the state's rapidly growing dairy fame is Aralia De Kol Mead 2d, who recently completed a 365-day test period with a record of 26,938.5 pounds milk containing 1043.07 pounds butter fat—equivalent to 1303.83 pounds butter. She made this record on the farm of her lifelong owners, A. W. Morris & Sons corporation at Woodland. Late figures show there are now 75 cows of all breeds with 1000-pound yearly butter fat records. Aralia is seven years old, weighs 1..700 pounds and is one of twens. Her recent record completes a family of three generations in which each dam has produced over 900 pounds butter fat in one year. She comes by her producing ability quite naturally as she is the grand-daughter of the first and third cows to produce over 28,000 pounds of milk in 365 days. These two cows are Aralia De Kol and Riverside Sadie De Kol Burke, the foundation of the Morris herd. "During eight months of her testfers perfume or a show, whether husband buy cigars or takes a friend to lunch? Keeping accounts simply and as accurately as possible, holding pretty close to the budget, saves much worry and heartache. The first year is hard, the second easier, the third makes it as mechanical a task as ordering groceries. If one in a while one forgets the eggs, that is no argument against the system. Budget-making is like Christmas shopping—the earlier done the better. But better late than never. If your plan is not ready, make it now. The income from $1500 to $4000 is frequently divided on this basis: 25 per cent for food, 20 per cent for shelter, 15 per cent for operating expenses, 20 per cent for clothing and 20 are supposed to come out first, with per cent for advancement. Savings the amount left over regarded as 100 per cent. AN IMPENDING MENACE A bill will be introduced into the legislature to place the oil industry of California under the state railroad commission, and to declare gasoline a public utility subject to regulation as to price and distribution, and to make the oil industry subject to state taxation instead of local taxation. This bill strikes at the heart of Orange county's finances, for a large proportion of the $6,800,000 raised in this county every year in taxes comes from the oil properties located here. In the last legislature an effort was made to put the oil industry under state taxation. The plan was favored by those who wanted to increase the assessable resources of the state and thus lessen the burden on those who now pay state taxes. Commenting on this bill the San Francisco Journal says: "It is plainly an attack on the great oil companies of California who have invested millions of dollars in developing the production of our oil fields and wells. It looks like a 'strike' measure intended to bring some interests to time. It would, of course, provide well paid jobs for a considerable number of political hangers-on, which may be one of its motives." "All such legislation can only end in the ultimate consumer having to pay more for his gasoline and would discourage developments now taking place through private capital and re- recent record completes a family of three generations in which each dam has produced over 900 pounds butter fat in one year.

These two cows are Aralia De Kol and Riverside Sadie De Kol Burke, the foundation of the Morris herd. "During eight months of her test period Aralia was permitted to run at pasture with the other cows of the herd and was milked regularly four times a day," says F. L. Morris, one of the owners. Her grain railion consisted of ground barley, oats, bran and linseed oil meal which was fed throughout the year in amounts of 12 to 20 pounds daily, according to her production and appetite. This was supplemented by roots and corn ensilage during two-thirds of the year and with all the alfalfa hay she would eat. THE 1923 BUDGET Much unnecessary discouragement and delay about getting the home on a budget system has been caused by the expert accountant point of view. The man whose job is bookkeeping is just as fussy over every odd cent as a housewife has to be over baking powder. He contemplates every page as mainstakingly as she hems a damask dinner napkin or as the nurse on a contageous case bolls every dish. The housewife who tried to boil every dish or to French-hand-hem every dish towel would soon go mad. Fortunately, neither is necessary. A half-hour spent in fussing over the books because she forgot the 32 cents spent on Christmas seals is a half-invested millions of dollars in developing the production of our oil fields and wells. It looks like a 'strike' measure intended to bring some interests to time. It would, of course, provide well paid jobs for a considerable number of political hangers-on, which may be one of its motives. "All such legislation can only end in the ultimate consumer having to pay more for his gasoline and would discourage developments now taking place through private capital and remove the incentive that prompts these developments. Oil production and refining is one of the very largest and most important industries of California. Any interference with it would be disastrous, not only to the industry itself, but to all other great businesses of the state. In these days and in this state all commerce is largely dependent on a continuous supply of gasoline at a reasonable price. "Oil and its by-products are not public utilities in the sense that they are necessary to life. They are not a public utility to anything like the same extent the growing of wheat or manufacture of flour is, for these are necessary both to the life and health of the people of the United States. If gasoline is to be declared a public utility there is no logical reason why the manufacture of flour for human food, of the manufacture of clothing or the human body, should not be declared public utilities. We should then have arrived at pure socialism. There should be no question of the defeat of such a bill and it is probably only necessary to draw attention to it to insure its prompt rejection. The injunction, "Bear ye one another's burdens," doesn't mean that you should unload your burdens upon others if you can carry them yourself."

THE FORD STANDARD Senator Couzens, of Michigan, the former business partner of Mr. Ford, says the automobile manufacturer is going to run for president in 1924. If he fails to get the nomination of either party he intends to head a party of his own. Mr. Ford's conception of his duty to the nation is well illustrated in his attempt to get control of the Muscle Shoals power plant. At an insignificant fraction of what investment cost the taxpayers of the United States, Mr. Ford proposed that it should be given to him under terms that would enable him to add many millions to his own income through the sale of power to others and the utilization of some of it for his own factories. His widely advertised concern for the farmers and their need for cheaper fertilizer was largely camouflage to conceal his real motive. If, as a private citizen, Mr. Ford countenanced and encouraged such a raid on the national treasury, by what standard would his actions be guided if he were in the white house? THE GEORGIA IDEA A news item states that Georgia has taken into its own hands the matter of combating the boll weevil and the Georgia state department of agriculture is in the market for supplies of calcium arsenate to sprinkle on the tail of that pest. It proposes to take the entire output of the Salt Lake Insecticide company. This is encouraging news. For some years past it has been the custom of a large number of states to ask federal appropriations for such work. Georgia is exhibiting... is deceptive, the trees cast almost no shade, the ponds are dry most of the time, and such fields as may be cultivated yield crops only at intervals. Great areas are without permanent water, and the few inhabitants of the region, human and animal are engaged in a continual struggle for a precarious livelihood. Rain is infrequent, but at times it comes with devastating suddenness and vigor. During these rare periods of rains, roads that are ordinarily difficult to traverse because of deep sand or dust and lack of water places become seas of mud. In this inhospitable environment the Papago Indians have lived since the days of the early Spanish explorers, and doubtless long before. In summer they cultivate corn, beans and squash in the broad valleys wherever floods wet the ground; in winter they congregate at wells or other watering places in the mountains. A few white stockmen, miners, storekeepers and government officials are scattered through the area. At the great copper camp of Ajo, however, the traveler will find a modern city of 2000 people, an outpost of civilization in the desert. In 1917 the road from Tucson, the county seat of Pima county, to Ajo was 136 miles of rough and difficult traveling. This journey—a whole day's trip by automobile—was attempted only by the experienced traveller. By 1930 there had been constructed over the worst parts of the road 82 miles of modern highway, and the journey can now be made in four hours. Indeed, the road from Tucson to Yuma, which includes this road to Ajo, bids fair to become part of one of the popular transcontinental routes. The Papago country, which is south of the Gila river and north of the Mexican boundary, forming a triangle that lies west of Tueson and east of Yuma, is the subject of a guidebook by Kirk Bryan, just published by the United States geological survey. This guidebook is the fourth of a series that describes the roads, wells, springs and other watering places of the most arid part of the United States—an area of 65,000 square miles in southeastern California and southwestern Arizona. The surveys were made in 1917 and 1918, under a small appropriation by congress. Signposts giving directions and distances from water place to watering place were erected on the adjoining states that Georgia has taken into its own hands the matter of combating the boll weevil and the Georgia state department of agriculture is in the market for supplies of calcium arsenate to sprinkle on the tail of that pest. It proposes to take the entire output of the Salt Lake Insecticide company. This is encouraging news. For some years past it has been the custom of a large number of states to ask federal appropriations for such work. Georgia is exhibiting a brand of independence all too rare in this day, and particularly so since Georgia is dominated by a party which makes profession of state independence and then loots the United States treasury for every conceivable sort of appropriation to be expended in Democratic congressional districts. Let us have some more of the Georgia idea. THE BEST HOME-MAKERS The American woman is one of the best house keepers in the world. She has a rare talent for home-making. This is the opinion of Miss Bella Jones, a prominent English educator, now in this country. What adds weight to Miss Jones' opinion is that it is based, not wholly upon a study of the American domestic life of more ample demonstrations, but also upon intimate observations of the homes made by American business women in crowded city apartments. She finds as good, wholesome cookery ever was served in the larger establishments, and the town home atmosphere is still a fixture apartment where the in-a-door bed must turn its face to the wall to make a living room. English women have been declared to be more domestic than American women. Miss Jones thinks this as a fallacy which arose from the fact that American women turn more generally to business life than English women. They have no lost the home touch in the process. They have simply combined domesticity and business efficiency, and the result is a home, no matter where the American woman hangs up her hat. SHORTER DEER SEASON Proposed legislation setting the deer season from September 15 to October 15 in the interior of California, and from August 15 to September 15 in the coast counties was drawn up at The surveys were made in 1917 and 1918, under a small appropriation by congress. Signposts giving directions and distances from water place to watering place were erected on the roads at suitable points. The maps made by these surveys form the most valuable part of the guidebooks, for they are the most complete and accurate maps of the region yet published. The relief of the country is shown by brown shading, which brings out clearly the forms of the mountains, hills and broad plains and makes the maps easily understood by any one. The book contains detailed logs of the roads in the region, including not only those of the principal automobile routes but those of branch roads that lead to parts of the desert that are seldom visited and little known. These logs show in heavy type the places at which water can be obtained. There is also a list of watering places, which includes brief information as to their location and availability. The introductory parts of all these guidebooks contain detailed information regarding difficulties encountered in traveling through the desert and suggestions for surmounting them. Anyone who intends to travel in any part of this region should consult one of these guidebooks. Copies of the one just published, which is numbered water supply paper 490-D, and entitled "Routes to Desert Watering Places in the Papago Country, Arizona," have been sent to the post offices, the chambers of commerce, and SHORTER DEER SEASON Proposed legislation setting the deer season from September 15 to October 15 in the interior of California, and from August 15 to September 15 in the coast counties was drawn up at a meeting of representatives of the state fish and game commission. United States forest service, state foraler, California women's association and other interests. As the present season in the interior is from September 1 to October 15, and on the coast from August 1 to September 15, the proposed law therefore shortens the season by two weeks. No agreement could be reached at the meeting regarding the use of dogs by hunters, and it was proposed to introduce a skeleton bill which will provide for such agreement when reached. The objection has been raised that dogs needlessly kill does and fawns.

So have several other nations of Europe. They differ only in the means by which they seek to accomplish their ends. The acceptance of te league of nations covenant by the United States at European behest, and the consequent unending drain upon American men and money, would as surely bring about the overthrow of this country as the communistic methods of the soviets. In meeting the former danger we have but to decline the invitation to enter the league, and we can forestall the latter menace by constant vigilance in the detection of what the radicals and communists are doing in our midst.
