CORNER PHILOSOPHY A narrow mind is one degree worse than no brains at all. One thing you can say for the flivver. It rattles before it strikes. Marriage is all right up to the point where it becomes a habit. What the country needs is more golden wedding anniversaries. A vindictive nature is one that steps on a fly after getting it down. You can recognize the approach to a detour by the blue haze of profanity. A thoughtful husband is one who scatters the Sunday paper in only one room. In a fat man the waist line merges with the bread line. The only way to make some dull children smart is the switch. Home is a place to which a man goes to find fault. About the only thing that really comes to him who waits is whiskers. A wife's jealousy seems especially amusing after you see her husband. Many a thing that now is orthodox was heresy at one time. All you need to enjoy the great outdoors is leisure, youth and screens. Don't be a piker. Pick out a big man to envy. A woman is as young as her make-up. The only animal that has its full strength when one day old is white mule. The lipstick makes stealing a kiss all itself a candidate, it is certain that his opponents would raise against him the cry that was set up again Theodore Roosevelt when he sought a third term in 1912—although the cases would not be exactly similar. President McKinley was assassinated early in his term and Roosevelt, who succeeded him, served three years and six months of the four years for which McKinley had been elected. Roosevelt then was elected in 1904 for his own term. He announced he would not run again. At the conclusion of his term Roosevelt selected William H. Taft as his successor. Although there was an effort made to stampede the Republican national convention for him that year, he succeeded in having Taft nominated. When he stepped out of the White House he marched right down to the Pennsylvania station and went to South Africa on his famous hunting trip, leaving Taft to fight things out for himself. At that time the matter of a third term was strongly fought out—but never decided. Resolutions were introduced in congress which would have amended the constitution so that a president could not have a third term. Other resolutions favored a system of two "elective" terms, which would enable a vice-president who succeeds to the presidency to seek two other terms by a vote of the people. None of the resolutions was adopted and the matter was shunted aside by the election. Opponents of Roosevelt went back to George Washington's farewell address for their authority against third terms. After being twice elected by the people, Washington declared he thought the best interests of the country would be served by introducing fresh thoughts, new ideas and a new personality to leadership. But nowhere in the history of politics is there a typical precedent upon which Mr. Coolidge can decide. He became president upon the death of Warren Harding in August, 1923, serving only the remaining year and eight months of Harding's term. His friends say this could hardly be called a presidential term. Mr. Coolidge himself looked upon it as a continuation of the Harding administration and declined to inaugurate any new policies of government until he was approved by the state legislature.

The only animal that has its full strength when one day old is white mule. The lipstick makes stealing a kiss all that it is painted. No man is perfect, only some of us don't worry about it as much as others. Tears are sometimes as weighty as words. At least no man can be stingy with his happiness. Marriage is one form of conflict in which no provision is made for an armistice. Even a wise man does foolish things, but its only fools who repeat them. Will the fundamentalists 5000 years from now admit that they descended from us? The two things destined to meet misfortune are infants of the genus homo and white pants. Traffic will prove a great aid to evolution. Only the quick thinkers will survive. Boys will be boys, and nowadays lots of girls seem to be boisterous. You can't avoid some exercise at a resort. The mosquito bites must be scratched. Another dismal failure is the effort of the new rich to look blase in a new limousine. The easy-going fellow is sometimes hard to get started. In nature a plum becomes a prune. In politics the prunes frequently get the plums. About all an old-fashioned mother did for the headache was to spank the children. Strange that none of the chronic reformers has ever thought of starting an anti-saxophone movement. The honeymoon is over when hubby begins to feel too masculine to help with the supper dishes.

He became president upon the death of Warren Harding in August, 1923, serving only the remaining year and eight months of Harding's term. His friends say this could hardly be called a presidential term. Mr. Coolidge himself looked upon it as a continuation of the Harding administration and declined to inaugurate any new policies of his own until he was approved by the people last November. He contented himself with following out all the old Harding policies. At the expiration of his present term he will have been president less than six years. Numerous presidents have been elected for two full terms of office, serving eight full years. Just now there is no prominent Republican being groomed for his place, and the chance that he might again seek election has entered the realm of possibility. COUNTY'S HEALTH RECEIVES PRAISE Orange county is practically free from epidemic disease. This was the bill of health given the county yesterday by Dr. C. N. Halliday, state epidemiologist, with offices in Los Angeles, who came here to confer with Dr. V. G. Presson, county health officer, regarding outbreaks and control of epidemics. Dr. Halliday was particularly concerned in ascertainting the presence and extent of infantile paralysis, which has found its way to Southern California. Because of strict enforcement of quarantine regulations, coupled with intelligent co-operation from persons concerned, and social service agencies, there have been but three cases of infantile paralysis in the county during the past year, Dr. Presson reported. Other forms of epidemics have been reduced to a minimum, it was brought out in the report furnished the state official. Doing Good Work At Preventorium The Trabuco Preventorium is caring for nearly 30 boys at the present time, it is reported by Miss Mabel Durgan, county nurse, who just returned from a visit to the camp. Both boys and girls are to have six weeks of treatment, the boys occupying the camp at the present time. According to Dr. V. G. Presson of the health department, the boys' camp will terminate about July 20. A steady increase in appetite indicates the progress the youngsters are making on the road to health, Miss Durgan said.

Some people are so careless that even their promises get broken. It may take nine tailors to make a man, but it only takes one woman to spoil him. Woman may belong to the weaker sex, but she is generally strong on argument. One of the hardest things to do these days is to find something to do that isn't against the law. Some little town might get on the map now by questioning the authenticity of gravity. Animals can't be related to man. They don't keep on grabbing for more when they have enough. WILL COOLIDGE RUN? A question of political interest paramount at the moment is, Will Calvin Coolidge be a candidate to succeed himself in 1923? The answer is here: If the congressional elections next year swing to his support, as there is every evidence that they will, the national convention will stampede to him without a shadow of doubt. The people want common sense and economy in government, they want a reduction of their burdens of taxation, and a reduction in the tremendous war debt now hanging over the nation. This is the Coolidge policy, and we have no doubt he is today the strongest man in the country. It is hardly probable that the President himself knows what he would do about a third term, but those who chew the political rag around Capitol hill—where most politics is made—have figured it all out for him. If Mr. Coolidge should declare him- The Trabuco Preventorium is caring for nearly 30 boys at the present time, it is reported by Miss Mabel Durgan, county nurse, who just returned from a visit to the camp. Both boys and girls are to have six weeks of treatment, the boys occupying the camp at the present time. According to Dr. V. G. Presson of the health department, the boys' camp will terminate about July 20. A steady increase in appetite indicates the progress the youngsters are making on the road to health. Miss Durgan said. Upon their arrival, the children spurned the majority of things confronting them on the dining tables, but now they call for the second and third helpings, according to the nurse. Ball games and rest periods both have their places in the daily routine, under the supervision of Mrs. Amelia Meigher, the founder and director of the preventiorum. Dr. Presson is camp physician, and makes weekly visits to the camp to examine the children and to prevent them from participating too vigorously in sports. No child having tuberculosis is allowed at the camp. Those who are there are undernourished or have other physical weaknesses which make them easy targets for tuberculosis. The camp is conducted officially by the Orange County Tuberculosis Association, but the public health department gives all the aid it can. The finances are gained from the sale of Christmas seals, from county aid, and from subscriptions by civic organizations and individuals, according to Dr. Presson. He said the ultimate goal is to make the preventiorum an all-year institution. This is impossible at the present time because of lack of money. The county this year contributed $1000. The Ministerial Association of Santa Ana is sponsoring Sunday services at the camp. The services last Sunday were conducted by a group of young people from the First Methodist church of Santa Ana, Mrs. Theodore Winbigler in charge. Reports from Bagdad say that automobile travel on the Arabian deserts is getting to be very popular. One nice thing about it is that you will have plenty of room to turn around in.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE WALNUT OUTPUT TO BREAK RECORD California Crop Will Be Heaviest Ever Harvested Merchantable unshelled walnuts for the state of California will break all former records when the coming crop is harvested, according to estimates of production furnished by more than 800 growers and given out Friday by C. Thorpe, manager of the California Walnut Growers' Association. The crop is estimated at 29,250 tons for the state, as compared with 21,405 tons last season, an increase of 37 per cent. The previous record crop, produced in 1919, totaled 28,448 tons. The 800 growers who furnished estimates are special crop reporters of the association, competing for $2500 in prizes offered each year by the association, and as a result the estimates made this season will be very close to actual production figures. This season's estimate is based on the assumption that average growing conditions will prevail throughout the remainder of the season. There is still danger of crop curtailment from the ravage of blight, although the average loss from blight and heat from July to harvest is about 8 per cent, and this was the basis upon which crop reporters figured their estimates. Los Angeles county in all probability will lead all counties of the state this season in point of production, with Orange county a close second. The estimated crop production for the coming season for Los Angeles county is 8277 tons, as compared with 5923 tons last season, an increase of 2354, or 40 per cent. Of the estimated total production in the state, the soft-shell variety will probably furnish 17,251 tons, as compared with 12,900 last season, an increase of 34 per cent. The budded variety is estimated to furnish 7570 tons of the total production, as compared with 5242 tons of last season, an increase of 45 per cent. The budded variety is growing in importance, while the production of the Payne variety is not likely to be the attitude of what most likely be the attitude of that preliminary work in connection with the Colorado river aqueduct project is being pushed forward at top speed by the Los Angeles Municipal Water Bureau; following the voting of the $2,000,000 bond issue for this purpose, was revealed when it was learned that divisional aqueduct headquarters have been established at Beaumont and six survey parties and one large construction crew are now at work along the route of the project. The great mass of survey work incident to the San Gorkonio tunnel section of the giant water carrier is to be handled in the Beaumont divisional headquarters, it was stated by Chief Engineer William Mulholland of the Los Angeles water bureau. Three parties of surveyors will work out of the Beaumont headquarter under the direction of E. A. Bayley, assistant water bureau engineer, and the man who has been designated by Mulholland to actively handle all survey work in connection with the Colorado river water project. In addition to the survey parties, a group of engineers and draftsmen have already been set to work in Beaumont. This group of men will be increased in number within a few weeks, according to Mr. Bayley. The three surveying parties stationed at Beaumont are covering the territory between White Water river and the Santa Ana river, or that section of the aqueduct route which is generally referred to as the San Gorkonio tunnel section. Tentative plans indicate that a tunnel some 13 miles long will be drilled under the San Gorkonio Pass to carry the water through this mountain barrier. In view of the stupendous task presented in the drilling of a tunnel of this record-breaking length, every effort is being made to complete all surveys as soon as possible so that the way will be cleared to begin actual construction work, it has been stated. In addition to the work centerling... mated crop production for the coming season for Los Angeles county is 8277 tons, as compared with 5923 tons last season, an increase of 2354, or 40 per cent. Of the estimated total production in the state, the soft-shell variety will probably furnish 17,251 tons, as compared with 12,900 last season, an increase of 34 per cent. The buddied variety is estimated to furnish 7570 tons of the total production, as compared with 5242 tons of last season, an increase of 45 per cent. The budded variety is growing in importance, while the production of the Payne variety is estimated at only 375 tons, an increase of 90 per cent over last season, when 197 tons were produced. The trees in California appear to be more healthy and vigorous at this time than at a corresponding period for several years. The size of the nuts is fully up to normal, and the harvest should be a week or 10 days earlier than it was last season. Preliminary reports fro mthe producing sections of Europe indicate that most foreign sections will have normal crops. Generally speaking, the crop hazards between now and harvest are much greater in European walnut-producing countries than in California, so an estimate this early is of little value. On being asked as to the probability of growers successfully marketing this enormous California crop, Mr. Thorpe said: "While at first thought it may seem that this large prospective crop will be more than sufficient to meet the fall demand, a fuller consideration of the facts will prove any such assumption to be unfounded. The normal consumption of walnuts in the United States is now in excess of 100,000,000 pounds, and if the California crop holds up to estimates, the domestic output will be sufficient to supply only 58 percent of the country's total consumption." Last year, with a shorter crop and higher prices in prospect, the trade actually submitted to this association orders for 24,700 tons, or 494,000 bags—an amount slightly in excess of this association shipments. From this it will be observed that if present crop prospects materialize, the association should be able to take care of normal trade requirements, with no surplus and no shortage. There is no carry-over on the market today, the marketing of last season's crop having been completed early in the spring." The California Walnut Growers' Association is now placing its contracts for fall advertising which is to be greatly extended this season. Enormous posters will be on the billboards in 241 cities throughout the United States during the Thanksgiving and Christmas periods. In addition a huge campaign is planned through leading newspapers and magazines. THE SMITH-McADOO FEUD Republicans, and many Democrats, are having a period of grinning enmity between White Water river and the Santa Ana river, or that section of the aqueduct route which is generally referred to as the San Gorgonio tunnel section. Tentative plans indicate that a tunnel some 13 miles long will be drilled under the San Gorgonio Pass to carry the water through this mountain barrier. In view of the stupendous task presented in the drilling of a tunnel of this record-breaking length, every effort is being made to complete all surveys as soon as possible so that the way will be cleared to begin actual construction work, it has been stated. In addition to the work centering about Beaumont, a fourth survey party is now collecting topographical data in the vicinity of San Bernardino, while two more parties are at work in the San Gabriel canyon district, it was learned. Under the direction of Engineer Bayley, a construction crew this week began the work of building a road some 40 miles long from Shaver's Well into the mountains. It was explained by Mr. Bayley that it will be necessary to complete this road before the aqueduct engineers can get into this difficult mountain country to carry forward detailed studies of the region. With the coming of the hot weather season all survey parties have been temporarily removed from the desert country between Shaver's Well and the Colorado river. It was stated. member of the bureau was levied. A "family album" show will be staged in Cypress, and probably in neighboring towns this month to raise other funds. This show promises to be a real life expose of the lineage of the holders of premiums and ribbons won in former fairs. Local leaders in farm and civic organizations will participate in the impersonations. THE SMITH-McADOO FEUD Republicans and many Democrats, are having a period of grinning enjoyment at the latest developments in the Al Smith-William Gibbs McAdoo controversy, for hardly a day passes but what some rabid partisan of either of these aspirants for the Democratic nomination in 1928 does not come to Washington, temporarily domicile himself as one of the leading hostelries, and modestly (?) give out that he is prepared to receive the press. Whenever such an invitation is accepted by the reporters who have remained in Washington during the summer, the journer delivers himself of a lengthy description of how his particular candidate is the strongest that the party can present in 1928, and, at the same time, pronouncing loudly that if the other candidate should be nominated by the Democrats at their next convention the party will be unalterably irretrievably and forever relegated to an oblivion from which it can never emerge. Every now and again men, presumably press agents of the two leading Democratic candidates, drop into Washington, armed with typewriters and vast quantities of white paper, which they spoil for other use, by using them for statements as to how either Smith or McAdoo has the Democratic party standing on its hind legs and loudly yelling for Al or Bill. The sorrowful part of the proceeding, that is from a newspaper standpoint, is that the majority of these vociferous advocates have nothing new or intelligent to offer. An Iowan is said to have gained international fame by shaking hands with the king of England, but we doubt whether this will get him many votes if he goes back home and runs for congress. Cypress Is After Premiums at Fair Cypress has tossed her straw hat into the sawdust ring of the Orange County Fair, and is out to win sweepstakes prize in agricultural products. Cypress has a chest full of sweepstakes and first prizes, and is out to defend her laurels, according to announcement made at the Farm Bureau Center meeting there Tuesday night. "We are going to uphold the tradition and honor of our community in farm and orchard products," said Joe Ritter, chairman of the county fair committee, "and other centers of rich old Orange county can take notice that they will have to do their best to have the slightest chance, and if they win over Cypress it will be an honor to be remembered." He was backed up in the challenge by a representative gathering of Cypress growers and businessmen. A. M. Stanley, secretary-manager of the County Farm Bureau, who was present, was informed that the local committee has already done a great deal of preparation, had some fine crops spotted and had a secret design in a secret place, all ready to install for the opening of the fair, September 22. O. P. Dunyard, chairman of the local center—will assist in further preparations, and a special committee will be named to perfect the collection and the exhibit. George Fuquay was named an additional member of the committee. In order to add something to the fair fund, a special assessment of $1 per typical one of the batch: "1985 twillion, 985 billion, 988 million, 825 thousand—and 44 cents." By way of relief from the strain on his imagination in writing large checks, he wrote a few for mere thousands, ranging all the way from $240,000—there are several of these—down to $1000. But $1000 was the least sum that he bothered about. With the sheaves of cheeks were two pass books, one on a Whittier bank and a second on a Los Angeles financial institution. The former showed a balance of $24, the latter, $2.65.

In doing so he backed up a similar statement made at the May meeting of the Orange county reality boards, at which time he made the offer upon the condition that the new coast highway be routed through Allso canyon in such a way that, according to his views, it will not mar the natural beauty of the coast line. Mr. Thurston said he would make the offer directly to the Orange county board of supervisors and to the state highway commission, under whose jurisdiction the routing of the new highway rests. Mr. Thurston made the following statement: "One of the principal reasons for the building of the coast highway was to establish a scenic boulevard along the California coast; it was not intended to draw the shortest possible line between two points. If the purpose of the high-way is to make a scenic route, then why should the beauty of one of the loveliest bits of the whole coast be ruined by the building of the highway. My only desire is to see the highway built in such a way that it will be of the greatest service without destroying the country through which it runs. If the supervisors and the state highway commission will put the road back to the line that I have designated, so that the bluffs immediately above the sea will not be slashed up. I will give a right-of-way for the highway free. "I also will give a piece of land for a park on the edge of the cliff at the mouth of this beautiful canyon, where the people may get down to the sand and play to their hearts' content, and where they may sit on one of these magnificent points and thank God that I would not consent to their destruction." PROFITS AND LOSSES Possibly no better agricultural co-operative plan has ever been worked out than the contracts between beet sugar factories and farmers of the West. A base scale is agreed upon that provides for approximate cost for both grower and manufacturer. The farmer invests his land and labor in the hope of a better market; the manufacturer invests his million-dollar plant. The farmer thus becomes an actual partner of the factory. Under the co-operative system, both sides share in the profit or loss. The Cocur d'Alene lead miners, in Idaho have had a somewhat similar system this year they sacrificed part of their old wages, when the price of lead fell. Under such a plan, no man, farmer or miner or workman of any kind, need fear the growth of any corporation merely because it is big. Only vast capital can finance such operations as the great sugar factories, or the great lead mines; only vast capital can afford the improvements that cut costs and make the industries live. The farmer is a partner in the sugar business clear up to the last sale; if there is a gamble anywhere in the business, he turnsishes his share of the capital, and earns his share of the profit.

Federation TO form a more perfect union" was the animating thought of the statesmen who met to draft America's constitution. Their problem was to build the sections they represented into a political entity that would function most efficiently and enduringly in the service of the people. A similar problem was presented nearly a century later to the organizers of America's telephone service. Licenses under the first patents were being granted by isolated companies that were forming to introduce local service. "A more perfect union" of these companies seemed, from the beginning of the telephone's adoption by the people, to be essential, and so the structure of the Bell System was planned. This organization exists today substantially as it was then conceived—a group of companies, each preserving its individuality and applying local knowledge to local needs, but all federated into a single cohesive union in order that nation-wide, universal service may be provided.
