STOR A fire at Myers' garage on North Lemon Street early Sunday morning routed out the fire boys, but the flames were extinguished before much headway was made. Frank Davis, custodian of the Fremont School buildings, has been off duty the past two weeks on account of illness. He is at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Leonard. L. J. Winney and Frank Delatour left Friday by steamer for San Francisco on a two weeks vacation. They considered Frisco a good town in which to assist in ushering out the old year and welcoming the new one. Members of Mooseheart Legion, the ladies' auxiliary of the Moose Lodge will go down to Long Beach Saturday evening to attend a meeting of the beach legion. Newly elected officers o f the Long Beach lodge will be installed. Sales of new Studebaker cars the past week are reported as follows by Harry D. Riley, Northern Orange County distributeor: Special six sedan, to W. E. Gerhart of Fullerton, light six touring to L. E. Neeley of Fulleton and light six coupe to G. E. Koonts of Anaheim; Hans Hanswoth of Santa Ann, O. W. Lindau of Anaheim and W. J. Goodin of Anaheim also have purchased cars of Riley.

M. Backs with reference to cases filed in court. During the year just ended there were more than 2000 separate actions instituted in the court, the exact number being 2140. This includes suits of all character, civil, probate, criminal and juvenile. A gain of 688 was made over the number of cases filed in 1922, which was 1552. With more than seven cases filed every day that the courts are open and only three courts in which to hear them, the recent congestion in the superior court is easily understood, according to Backs. Of course, Backs pointed out, many of the cases never come to trial but it keeps the three departments busy, just the same, handling the large and steadily increasing volume of court business. Two departments were quite unequal to the task, but since the third department has been added congestion had been relieved to a large extent. At the present rate of increase, Backs predicted, there will be more congestion in the not-far-distant future—perhaps in 1924; perhaps not until later. Backs is forced, however, to handle the work of filing and numerous other details connected with that particular branch of his office, with practically the same-sized staff of assistants that he had last year and in previous years, Although it failed to win a prize, Anaheim's float at the Rose Tournament was described as beautiful. It was a bower of marigolds and blue straw flowers. An arch over the center trimmed in blue and gold advertised the National Valencia Orange Show. In the rear sat Miss Lucille Nenno of Anaheim, garbed to represent "Miss California." Four little Anaheim girls: Peggy Akerman, Evelyn Hartfield, Idel Bock and Marjorie Erickson, graced the front section of the float, sharing honors with a huge black bear. Six Shetland poines furnished the motive power. The five banks of the city declared and paid their usual semi-annual dividends at the close of the year. The First National and American Savings Bank paid 7½ percent, making a 15 per cent dividend for the year. The Golden State National paid 7 per cent for the six months, or 14 per cent for the year. The Anaheim National paid its usual 4 per cent for the six months, or 8 per cent for the year and the Southern County paid the last half of its regular 6 per rent dividend. All profits above these payments are added to the surplus of the various banks. Every banking institution in the city has enjoyed a prosperous year. Monday was the busiest day in the history of the marriage bureau of Orange County. The last day of the year brought an avalanche of matrimony, it was shown fifty-four couples obtaining licenses. This number far exceeds the record for any previous day. Monday's unlooked-for rush boosted the December total to 409. Hymen's eleventh-hour rally placed the marriage total for the year 1923 at 4,369. The new year, too, was getting a good start. Although the license bureau was closed on account of the holiday, Backs delayed his trip to Pasadena long enough to issue licenses to three couples who slipped into the courthouse early Tuesday morning. At the present rate of increase, Backs predicted, there will be more congestion in the not-far-distant future—perhaps in 1924; perhaps not until later. Backs is forced, however, to handle the work of filing and numerous other details connected with that particular branch of his office, with practically the same-sized staff of assistants that he had last year and in previous years, when far less business was received. Among the various phases of court business it was interesting to note that the least growth had been recorded in crime. In 1922 the criminal cases filed numbered 146; in 1923 the total was 160, an increase of only 14 cases. Juvenile cases jumped from 56 in 1922 to 105 in 1923, an increase of almost 100 per cent. Civil and probate cases, which constitute the bulk of court business, increased from 1350, in 1922, to 1875 in 1923, an advance of 525 cases. LET US RESOLVE Standing on the threshold of 1924, we are conscious of a wonderful thing—a new year is coming into our lives, giving us a new start, a new chance, new hope, new confidence, one more priceless opportunity to make good. We can close the door on the past year, leave all bitterness, all useless regrets behind, and begin all over again. One of the greatest privileges in life is to have a new starting point, to wipe the old slate clean and start a new record. We can redeem our past mistakes, even rebuild a spoiled past, a botched career. Every new year repeats the same old tisory. It finds multitudes regretting the past, mourning over their losses and failures, bewailing the mistakes that have humiliated or disgraced them, and reproaching themselves for not having accomplished more. No matter what has happened to you in 1923, no matter how discouraging your failures, how disgraceful or criminal your past, 1924 gives you a chance to set your jaw and try over again. We all blunder, we all make mistakes, and we all fall short of our ideals, away below what we are capable of accomplishing. We have the feeling that if we only had another chance we could do better, we could make good our past mistakes. The desire to make another better try at crease and conserve my energy in every possible way. "I will throw off in future the old negative chap who has been back of my job in the past who has so disappointed me. I will put on a new man with a new spirit, new ambition, new resolve, new hope and new determination this year. I am going to employ the bigger, grander man that is beneath the little fellow; I am going to find the inner man. I resolve to make the new year, 1924, count in a distinctive way." But remember that material success alone does not give permanent satisfaction. The bread and butter side is very essential, but the man or woman who is anxious to get up as well as on in the world cannot afford to make material things the exclusive aim of his existence. As you stand tip-toe on the threshold of the new year register your vow in you subconscious mind—whether you succeed or fail, whether you make money or lose it—you will ever be true to your highest ideal; that whatever betides you, you will be a man, every inch a man; that whatever temptations confront you, you will live a clean, noble, unselfish and helpful life. This is the only sort of life that is a success. On New Year's day turn over a new leaf and begin a new record—first build character. RUSSIAN RECOGNITION The Russian government is seeking American recognition again. This time there seems to be some chance of success, because the Soviet leaders are in a more tractable mood than usual. They seem eager to take advantage of the opportunity given them...

We have the feeling that if we only had another chance we could do better, we could make good our past mistakes. The desire to make another better try at life is innate in us all. The new year is the time of all times to make firm resolution and pledge yourselves in "a do or die spirit" to be somebody with all your might. Agree with yourself to work with such enthusiasm as you never yet put forth. Solemnly pledge the bigger man in you to make the bigger effort and render better service. Resolve to give nothing less than your best to everything you undertake this coming year. Make firm resolutions that you are going to be a master in your calling and that you are not going to be satisfied with inferiority, with cheap John methods, with a cheap John life; that you are going to demand great things of yourself. Say to yourself: "No more mediocrity for me; no more working for a cheap half success, for anything less than my best. I will no longer be satisfied with common, humdrum career. Hereafter I will put my heart atom of my being; I will put my heart and soul in everything I touch. I will make my work stand out with distinction, with decided individuality.

RUSSIAN RECOGNITION The Russian government is seeking American recognition again. This time there seems to be some chance of success, because the Soviet leaders are in a more tractable mood than usual. They seem eager to take advantage of the opportunity given them in President Coolidge's message to Congress, laying down the conditions on which recognition could be given. The main conditions are agreement to Russia's part to compensate American citizens for confiscated property, recognition of the debts contracted by the republican Kerensky government, after the successful revolution against czarism, and abatement of the active spirit of enmity to American institutions. These conditions are surely moderate. It is now generally recognized by fair-minded people that it is none of our business what plan of government Russia or any other country has, as long as that government respects the rights of other nations and provides the usual civilized facilities for getting along with them and doing business with them. Nothing is demanded of Russia. That country can go its own way if it likes. But if Russia, not content with being an international outlaw, wants to associate with the community of nations, it must conform to their moral standards more than it has done so far. If it can do so, to the satisfaction of the United States government, no impertinent questions need be asked about Russia's political system as long as Russia respects our own system and lets it alone. Pre-Inventory REARANCE SALE Now in Effect in Many Departments ALKENSTEINS MILLION TOURISTS COMING Almost 1,000,000 tourists will arrive in California by automobile during 1923 according to the latest estimates on interstate travel. This will be a gain of approximately 50 per cent over the figures of 1922, which at the time set a new standard. The total number of arrivals, according to the most recent checks made by the Automobile Club of Southern California, are 234,000 cars. The average number of persons in each vehicle has been raised materially during the past few years, until in 1923 the count showed four. This would bring the total to approximately 936,000. July was the banner month with more than 20,000 cars to its credit. The National Old Trails Highway lead all others in the number of arrivals with 7,710 cars in a single month. The Pacific Highway, which is the main entrance to the state from Oregon, Washington and Western Canada, showed a total of 6,572 cars in the month of August. It is probable that every town in Southern California can trace a portion of its increase in population during the year to this unprecedented influx of motoring tourists. Oil, one of the vital factors which has contributed so very materially to the wealth and continued prosperity of Orange County, will bring in a golden harvest of $25,000,000 for the year 1923, according to an estimate made by James Sleeper, county assessor. "This is only an estimate, of course," Sleeper explained, and includes both oil and gas. Last year the figure was about $35,000,000, the decrease being due to lower prices for oil and gas and consequent reduction by the larger companies. In 1924, however, I predict an even larger figure for Orange county's oil industry, as it seems reasonable to assume that prices will prevail next year, with indications of increased production. And there is always the possibility that other fields will discover and developed in this county. Investigation and drilling operations are being conducted in many sections of the county, including Orange, Anaheim, Villa Park, Buena Park and other points." Sleeper said exact figures covering Orange County's oil production during 1923 will not be available for some time. PHONE 784J. Dr. W.W.
