OBSERVATIONS A resident of this city, who farmed extensively in Nebraska before coming here several years ago, says that state is one of the best agricultural sections to be found anywhere. But a farmer must work early and late, and must be frugal, and not become imbued with the idea that he can hire his work done—he must look after his own farm himself. He must live economically and by all means must not be a spendthrift. This man says one very good reason why many farmers in the middle and northwestern states are in bad financial straits, is because they "plunged" during the last year of the world's war, when all commodities soared high in price, in some instances out of all natural proportions. The farmer, electrified by this sudden and fantastic wave of prosperity, spent his money accordingly, indulging in luxuries he had never dreamed of before. He also bought more land, thinking there would never be a let-up in the phenomenal prices that prevailed all over the land, when there was a tremendous demand for all necessities of life, caused directly by the great war. Extravagant expenditure of money followed and people in the great farming centers lived high. Then after hostilities ceased, the inevitable slump came, and after two or three years of poor prices for their crops the misguided tillers of the soil were hit hard by the hand of adversity. They are now tasting the bitter, while a few years before they relished the sweet. Besides, the extra land they purchased upon which they expected to raise more crops and reap the profits of high prices, has dropped in price, and can in some instances be bought for allowed by prosperity such as the country never before has experienced, the visitor marveled at the air of public confidence, the increased building activity and the very evident prosperity of California and the Pacific coast. Harkness based his prediction of a temporary setback on the present price of wheat, the hammering down of prices by Wall street, and the let-up of building operations in many parts of the country. Hope for the future, he said, depends upon the finding of foreign markets for our surplus production and the bringing back to a normal basis of foreign exchange. The railroads today he explained, are doing better than they have for years. The New York capitalist is seeing for himself on this Western trip a thing that everybody must recognize. For months there have been more or less disquieting reports from the East and predictions of business depression. The building programs in various Eastern and Middle Western cities have come right ahead. For us prosperity is not a thing to be hoped for or expected in the future. It is with us now and has been right along. Our New York visitor does more than pay a pretty compliment when he says: "I extend honest praise to California, which I feel it rightly deserves. You have an honest, marvelous state, with an honest, marvelous future. You have here an empire in itself." JAYWALKERS AND RIDERS A New York judge decided recently that Jaywalkers have a right to Jaywalk if they want to, and it is up to motorists to look out for them. Motor cars, he explained, use the streets only by tolerance, anyway. This may be a good law in New them tocross elsewhere streets. What would they insist on driving walk? That would be degree, inasmuch as more dangerous to a pedestrian is to a principal, surely, the alike.

Meantime, the two parties which have storms and have seen cline and death of less pretentious rivalizations, are going for ing sentiment as to paring for the great now tasting the bitter, while a few years before they relished the sweet. Besides, the extra land they purchased upon which they expected to raise more crops and reap the profits of high prices, has dropped in price, and can in some instances be bought for less money than the farmer's deferred payments amount. As a result these acres revert back to the original owners. They, in turn, find themselves face to face with low prices for their produce. The only natural sequence to this deplorable state of affairs is for the farmers to work out their own salvation, and get back to where they were before they acquired that frenzied feeling due to the peak of high prices during the great war. "What are you doing that for?" asked a bystander of a newsdealer, the other morning, when he was seen to tear off the caption from a bunch of papers. "Oh, you see, I only pay for those I sell," said the man. "These readings that I tear off are returned to the publisher and are deducted from the number of papers left here. Yes, I return quite a bunch every day," the newsdealer remarked, as he torched up a fresh cabbager. It's a sad tale. "Two hundred and sixty thousand dollars worth of stock has been bought by residents in four towns in Orange County in a corporation that now seemingly does not exist," said a citizen the other day. "I bought some of this stock, myself, along with many other people here, believing the local agent's story that everything was all right;" the speaker said, "but we find now; to our sorrow, that the corporation is in bad financial straits, and the Lord only knows if we ever will get a dollar back on our investments." The subtle siren's song. Two evolutionists became involved in a heated argument the other day as to what is going to happen when cars get thicker. They finally settled the question by predicting that then everybody would own a flying machine and would so construct the roofs of houses so the navigator could light and leave without hampering the other fellow and be on his way. Pedestrians, if there were any, would JAYWALKERS AND RIDERS A New York judge decided recently that jaywalkers have a right to jaywalk if they want to, and it is up to motorists to look out for them. Motor cars, he explained, use the streets only by tolerance, anyway. This may be a good law in New York or elsewhere, but anybody may question whether it is good sense or fair play. According to the usual view, city thoroughfares are apportioned according to the needs of both pedestrains and drivers, the sidewalk being reserved for the former and the street from curb to curb for the latter. Why have sidewalks if the pedestrians are to walk all over the street at their pleasure? Moreover, it is useful here to break down an artificial distinction. There are no longer any separate classes of pedestrains and automobilists. There is almost one car per family in AmericaNkdvw eshecz effige ca today, and there will soon be more than that. Thousands of people seen walking along the street have cars. They are merely pedestrians when they walk and motorists when they ride. Common sense and fair play both suggest that whichever they are doing, they follow the logical rules of the game. Street crossings are meant for pedestrains to walk on, as sidewalks are. That is where drivers naturally expect to find them and look out for them. It is unfair and dangerous for Two evolutionists became involved in a heated argument the other day as to what is going to happen when cars get thicker. They finally settled the question by predicting that then everybody would own a flying machine and would so construct the roofs of houses so the navigator could light and leave without hampering the other fellow and be on his way. Pedestrians, if there were any, would then have the streets all to themselves. It's a bird. Inner circles in certain quarters have been agog of late over the mysterious report of how a married man had failed while in the hands of another man and some of his friends, who succeeded in making the former seek medical assistance in the possible time. That eternal triangle. Report says the west Jetty built at the mouth of the channel at Newport bay is fast becoming disintegrated—that is, it is breaking up by the ceaseless pounding of the sea. It is hard to change Nature's handwork. Without an east and west Jetty at this point the channel is bound to sand up, preventing craft of any size to enter. It will refuel millions of dollars to make a harbor out of Newport bay. Can the people stand the tax? It's a big job. AN EMPIRE WITHIN ITSELF Edward Steven Harkness of New York, director of a score of railroads and public utility corporations and one of the world's ten richest men, in San Francisco a few days ago, discussed business conditions throughout the United States. Predicting a temporary period of depression, to be fol- ANAHEIM GAZETTE THE NEW PARTY PROJECT The projected new political party is not faring so well as it might, according to all reports. The farmer element and the labor element are not agreeing, it seems. The farmers want lower freight rates. The railway brotherhoods want higher wages. These two wants do not consist. If freight rates are lowered, there is no likelihood that wages would be advanced. If wages were advanced, there is no likelihood that freight rates would be reduced. And so it is much as though an irresistible force met an immovable object—a deadlock. Movements to form a great third party in national politics have been followed with keen interest by students of political affairs. There have been indications that a formidable political organization of new birth would be in the field next year. It may eventuate. But at present the movement is more or less vague. What may develop in the next few months will be awaited with deep interest by the public. Meantime, the two old political parties which have weathered many storms and have seen the birth, decline and death of several more or less pretentious rival political organizations, are going forward, crystallizing sentiment as to politics and preparing for the great struggle of 1924. 50 GOOD CIGARETTES 10¢ GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM TOBACCO SUMMONS In the Justice's Court of Anaheim Township, County of Orange, State of California.
