CORNER PHILOSOPHY Bigamy is it's own punishment. If you want to succeed, always pay debts and compliments. The trouble with increased earnings is that they usually bring increased yearnings. The man who is constantly wrapped up in himself makes a very small parcel. Husbands get hard-bolled when kept in hot water. A man tries to live up to his ideals, a woman to her photographs. Early to bed and early to rise causes the kids to gasp with surprise. A hard-bolled guy these days is one who takes his ice cream straight without any soda. It is claimed that light-colored stockings on a girl make one look cooler. Not so, they make one look longer. The real cubist artist is the man who can always make seven come eleven. The early bird catches the worm, but if the worm didn't get up so early he wouldn't be caught. Most married couples these days overlook the fact that a baby carriage is necessary for domestic bliss. Among other scarcities is the bird who wears buttoned shoes. Bad luck and poor judgment are twins. Drive and your friends ride with you; walk and they run over you. A friendly old world this would be if we only loved our neighbors as we love ourselves. While the old songs used to go to the heart, the new songs go to the feet. on and on and never runs dry. In Bible times the devil got into hogs, and that may explain why some cars need all the road. Recent vital statistics indicate that too much of the midnight oil is fusel oil. "To loosen a fruit jar cap, soak it." That is the modern method of making the taxpayer loosen, also. What we need is an auto that will stop and count ten before it tries to pass another on a narrow road. What probably makes the road to heaven so unpopular is the tendency on the part of most parsons to make it a toll road. Perhaps there is a business revival, but the only evidence of it that reaches us is the shouting. When the time comes for the meek to inherit the earth, it is likely the reformers will have ruined it. One reason the bootlegging business is crowded is because the jails aren't. The old cry of "get a horse" seems to have been changed to "get a pedestrian." A slip used to mean the little girl, now it means her little clothing. Some girls go to boarding school. Some girls go to college; But the gal that goes with the traveling man Accumulates more knowledge. Farmers' Incomes Gaining Steadily The gross income of the farmers for the year ending June 30 was larger than their annual income for any year since 1921. The exact figures mounted to $12,136,000,000, according to a report just made public by the Department of Agriculture at Washington. For the year ending June 30, 1824, the figure was $11,288,000,000, so that the gain was nearly a billion dollars, or approximately 7½ per cent. The gain was due Among other scarletities is the bird who wears buttoned shoes. Bad luck and poor judgment are twins. Drive and your friends ride with you; walk and they run over you. A friendly old world this would be if we only loved our neighbors as we love ourselves. While the old songs used to go to the heart, the new songs go to the feet. He who hesitates loses the parking space. Almost every man would feel crushed if he knew the ideal man his wife hoped to get. The man who slaps your face instead of your back plays fair. Ethics permit you to swat him in return. The only thing that worries mother more than where the kids go is where father's money goes. Wild instincts are usually lost by all domesticated creatures except husbands. Women will never slap each other on the back until they wear more clothes. An incubator is the nearest thing to a mother's helper that a hen can get. Sometimes it is the husband who has the fit when it is the wife who is buying the gown. Like the babbling brook, gossip goes Farmers' Incomes Gaining Steadily The gross income of the farmers for the year ending June 30 was larger than their annual income for any year since 1921. The exact figures mounted to $12,136,000,000, according to a report just made public by the Department of Agriculture at Washington. For the year ending June 30, 1824, the figure was $11,288,000,000, so that the gain was nearly a billion dollars, or approximately 7½ per cent. The gain was duo almost entirely to higher returns from grain and meat animals, particularly wheat and hogs, the department states. This analysis of expenses and receipts for the agricultural industry, says the department, confirms other indications of further improvement in farm income. Still, the average net income per operator, including all farmers, tenants as well as owners, amounted to only $876 in 1924-25, compared with $764 the preceding year, and covers the return on the farmers' equity in his property as well as earnings for the labor of himself and his family for the year. If a conservative rate (4.5 per cent) of return for the operator's net capital investment is deducted from the net income of $876, the return for the operator's labor and management and for the labor of his family was only $649 in 1924-25 and $531 in 1923-24. In arriving at the gross income, the department deducts cost of feed, seed and waste from the value of production. This great increase in the price of rubber is very hard on the man who is about to re-tire.

Smedley, general secretary of the Santa Ana Y. M. C. A., setting forth the varied activities of the county Y. M. C. A. boys' camp in the San Bernardino mountains, officially designated as Camp Osceola. The camp was closed last Tuesday, after what Smedley reported to be a most successful season. During the six weeks that the camp was open this season, a total of 155 boys attended. Santa Ana had 54 boys, Fullerton and the north county district had 51, Orange 27 and Anaheim 23. There were more than 300 visitors in the camp, in addition to the boys, and with the adult leaders and others who attended, the total made up the largest summer camp that the Orange county Y. M. C. A. has ever promoted. There were no serious accidents, nor any sickness of great consequence, in all this company of campers, and all who were in the camp were impressed alike with the beauty of the location and the splendid spirit and influence of the camp. Knox Finley, of Pomona College served as business manager of the camp throughout the season. The local "Y" secretaries had charge of the camp program. T. P. McKee handled the Santa Ana boys, Archie Raitt those from the north end of the county and C. E. Morrow and John Kudd the Orange and Anaheim groups. A number of well-known citizens helped the secretaries in putting the camp program of activities into effect. Rev. T. H. Walker of Anaheim was on the ground for a two weeks' period, and M. E. Beebe and others from Anaheim helped. E. E. Campbell, George Sherwood, Frank Henderson and others from Orange spent several days aplice helping the Orange Boys to have a good time. E. C. Basten, John Scott and Charles Lee of Placentia were other valued helpers. At all times during Urge Peace Officers To Give Co-operation Speaking on the value of co-operation between city and county officers, and officers in one town with those in another, Captain John Finlinson, chief of detectives of the Los Angeles police, addressed a large gathering of Orange county peace officers Wednesday night in Kettner's cafe. The occasion was the regular meeting of the Orange County Peace Officers' Association. In asking for better co-operation, Captain Finlinson declared that it was at first necessary to educate the officer as to all of his duties. He said that the nation needed officers who knew their duty. A beautiful silver loving cup was presented to the association by Dr. J. H. Simpson, to be used as a trophy in inter-county pistol shoots. The cup was turned over to Sheriff Sam Jernigan, president of the organization, and certain rules regarding competitive shoots for the cup outlined. No one officer will be allowed to win the cup more than three times, it was said, and all officers who have highest scores in the proposed contests will have their names engraved on the trophy. The cup will be the property of winners for a month at a time, but always will be kept on display by the president of the association. Entertainment, furnished under the auspices of the Santa Ana police, consisted of musical numbers by Eddle Foque and F. Kauffman, at the plano, and a string orchestra, directed by Clyde Holland. The Misses Pearl Lewis, Ada Addkinson and Arial Thompson were members of the orchestra. Regular pistol contest will be held, with five-inch bullseyes, according to an agreement made among the officers. Efforts to change the size of targets to an eight-inch bullseye, on the part of certain city officers, proved futile, and competitive shoots will be made from the 25 and 50-yard ranges with the new targets: County Schools Get Half Million Dollars Annexation of approximately 75 acres of land lying directly west of Fullerton's city limits was proposed to the city council at their regular meeting, and report made that the majority of owners in the district had signed petitions signifying their willingness to the proposed action. According to a description of the property, the plan embraces tracts known as Lansdowne numbers 1 and 2, and a third addition to the subdivision which is now being completed, as well as a 14-acre ranch adjoining the subdivisions. Majority of the property lies between West Commonwealth avenue and the Buena Park road, according to owners who were present at the meeting, and the annexation would straighten the city limit line, which now follows a crooked line, due to the city sewer farm; it was shown. City Trustees W. J. Carmichael, Roy Davis and W. A. Moore were appointed a committee by Mayor Crooke to take up all matters connected with the proposed plan, and to report at a later meeting with a recommendation. Property which is included in the proposed annexation district has an assessed valuation of $75,000, it was reported to the council. Approximately 62 houses are located within the boundaries of the addition, landowners reported. A meeting of all owners in the district will be called by the council committee in order to give all an opportunity to express their views on the subject, and to tell residents what would be expected if the district becomes a part of Fullerton. County Schools Get Half Million Dollars State school money in the amount of $557,456 will be apportioned to Orange county schools during the school year of 1925-26, according to advises received today by R.P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools, from Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction. The total sum allowed this county is distributed as follows: Elementary school, $409,623.50. High schools, $114,433. Junior college, $33,400. Of the total amount set aside for junior colleges, Santa Ana will receive $19,200 and Fullerton $14,200. Under the provisions of the California school law, the county board of supervisors must apportion a corresponding amount of county money for the maintenance of elementary schools, and double the amount for support of high schools and junior colleges. Maybe the Washington clerk who struck the words "so help me God" from his oath of office knew that he didn't deserve any assistance from that quarter. and Saturday Friday Specials MILK HATS . . $1.00 WO FELT HATS . $3.50 ANNOUNCING — Velvet Combinations and All New Materials and for the Coming-Season! of the Parisian Millinery, formerly owned by Mrs. had to meet all his old acquaintances at his new new friends as well.

Trade Balance Is Growing Rapidly The favorable trade balance of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30 exceeded a billion dollars, according to figures just made public by the Department of Commerce. The exports were valued at $4,857,654,344 and the imports at $3,824,972,847. Both the imports and exports for the fiscal year exceeded those of any of the previous five years. The favorable balance was greater than that of any of the last three fiscal years, although it was less than that for the year ended June 30, 1922. Gold movement for June was small, but the tendency for gold to leave the United States was shown to be still in operation. The nation lost $2,286,345 in gold imports being $4,426,135 and exports $6,712,480. Figures published by the United States Chamber of Commerce show many substantial gains in exports during the first quarter of 1925. Exports for the quarter were 48 per cent greater than for the same period of 1922. "A large part of this increase in exports," it is explained, "was due to Europe's recovery of purchasing power shipments to that continent in the first quarter of 1925 being 62 per cent greater in value than for the first quarter of 1922. As a matter of fact, nearly two-thirds of our exports for the first three months of 1925 were purchased by Europe—a far greater proportion than she has taken since the buying orgy of 1920. This European demand was reflected in our heavy exports of cotton, wheat, petroleum products, copper, lead, zinc, oil cake and meal, machinery and many other lines. The leading export commodity was raw cotton, with automobiles second. Exports of wheat stood third in the list, and fourth in rank was the petroleum group. The report continues: "The increasing importance and stability of our export trade is demonstrated by the fact that since the days of the inflated values of 1919, 1920 and the first part of 1921 steady gains, year by year, with no setback, have been made in 15 out of 50 of our principal export commodities. This elite class consists of raw cotton, automobiles, refined copper, lard, wheat flour, agricultural machinery, hams and shoulders, gas and fuel oil, fish, brass and bronze, printed matter, medicinals and pharmaceuticals, paraffin wax, typewriters, paints, pigments and varnishes and tools." "Two items only have shown a tendency to keep the downward grade—cigarettes (China is our big market) and fertilizers." WHY BRYAN QUIT William Jennings Bryan quit the Wilson cabinet in 1915 because of his "passionate love for peace." William Gibbs McAdoo declared at Hollywood Sunday. The former secretary of the treasury paid huge tribute to the dead Commoner in a memorial service attended by thousands. "Mr. Bryan was thoroughly misunderstood by great numbers of his fellow-countrymen," McAdoo said. "It was his passionate love for peace and his belief that the steps which the administration felt bound to take with respect to Germany in 1915 might lead to war that moved him to resign as secretary of state." "President Wilson and Mr. Bryan were animated by precisely the same purpose—their differences were merely of opinion as to the best method of accomplishing this end." A big corn crop this year will do more than Mr. Brookhart and Mr. Magnus Johnson ever dreamed of doing, to help the agricultural situation. INCREASE Your Business Not by Earning More but by Better Spending MANY a man who is earning but $4,000 a year lives as well, or perhaps better, than the man who is earning $6,000. How does he do it? He does it by judicious spending! He makes every dollar buy a dollar's worth . . . and ofttimes more. He does not buy by impulse! He exercises care and judgment in weighing values . . . he is constantly alert as to where his money can be spent to best advantage. Thus he secures more real value for his money than his most affluent friend—the $6,000 man. The knack of saving money is easily acquired. Saving does not always mean banking it. You can buy as well as sell at a profit. And buying at a profit means a saving! Accordingly, the man who buys intelligently . . . increases his income . . . not by earning more . . . but by better spending. The knack of saving money is easily acquired.
