LOOKOUT FOR YOUNG AND OLD One's age apparently has a lot to do with his ability as an automobile driver. Surveys conducted the country over show that speed, of course, is the cause of most accidents, but age has a lot to do with who constitutes the dangerous driver. These surveys show that youngsters between the ages of 18 and 24 grew 62 per cent worse in 1933 than in 1932—as far as fatal accidents go. Persons between the ages of 25 and 64 years improved nine per cent. The other dangerous age, the statistics show, is 65 and over. Here the increase in fatal accidents was 122 per cent. Clearly, something must be done to improve the record of young and old drivers. Education and stricter licensing for the young, and physical examinations to eliminate those unable to see clearly, hear well or respond quickly to traffic hazards for the older persons may help. The farmer will find life a lot more enjoyable when Uncle Sam makes it as easy for him to get out of debt as it is for a criminal to get out of the penitentiary. LEANING ON UNCLE SAM Arthur Sears Henning, newspaper correspondent at Washington, calls attention to the fact that more than 23,000,000 people in the United States are now dependent on the United States government for a part, if not all, of their support. In listing the number of classes, Mr. Henning says that there are 16,000,000 The farmer will find life a lot more enjoyable when Uncle Sam makes it as easy for him to get out of debt as it is for a criminal to get out of the penitentiary. LEANING ON UNCLE SAM Arthur Sears Henning, newspaper correspondent at Washington, calls attention to the fact that more than 23,000,000 people in the United States are now dependent on the United States government for a part, if not all, of their support. In listing the number of classes, Mr. Henning says that there are 16,000,000 people receiving support from federal relief funds; there are 3,000,000 farmers receiving AAA benefits; 1,120,000 veterans on the government pension rolls; 1,000,000 persons on emergency relief work; 644,000 employed in the administrative branch of the federal government. In addition, 600,000 persons are receiving drouth relief, 400,000 are employed on public work construction, 300,000 in the civilian conservation corps, 215,100 in the army and navy, 8,500 are employed in the legislative branch of the federal government and 3,300 in the judicial branch. Just add the items yourself and get the stupendous total, and do not forget that in addition there are more than a million persons who have received government loans. This is startling enough, but it is not all of the word picture which Mr. Henning so effectively paints. He predicts that, when the new ramifications of the national program, recently announced, are put into effect, at least half the population of the United States will be receiving support in some form or other, from the federal government. Then in addition, of course, there are our state, county and municipal officers and workers, getting their pay from the public. Taxes, Mr. Henning predicts, under this new system will be three or four times as great as they are at present. For, of course, the public must foot the bill, and the man who has a private business, or a job in private industry will have to pay through the nose, and indications are that he will have to have as big a nose as the one furnished by one of our most popular motion picture and radio entertainers whose first name is Jimmy. The political possibilities of the system are of course significant and by no means to be ignored. People who depend on the government for their support naturally favor the theory of government which is providing the living. And with a fifth of our population dependent on government aid or wages in some form or other, it can readily be seen that the opponents of the New Deal have their work cut out for them if they expect to make any sort of showing in the November election. All of which brings the question, if the present tendency keeps up, what will happen when all of us are dependent on the government for a living? Who will then pay the taxes to keep the machine going? They tell us that the top of the dome of the national capitol at Washington is covered with pure gold leaf. Wait till Dillinger finds that out! UNCLE SAM UP TO 1933 One of the points frequently made by Prof. Tugwell and other prophets of the new order is that we are now living in a new era, that everything before 1933 was "done wrong," and only now are we commencing to get government in the interests of "the people." Before the time of the "New Deal" the country was owned or They tell us that the top of the dome of the national capitol at Washington is covered with pure gold leaf. Wait till Dillinger finds that out! UNCLE SAM UP TO 1933 One of the points frequently made by Prof. Tugwell and other prophets of the new order is that we are now living in a new era, that everything before 1933 was "done wrong," and only now are we commencing to get government in the interests of "the people." Before the time of the "New Deal" the country was owned, or controlled, so they infer, by a few robber barons representing predatory interests. Well, let's see about that. Nothing speaks so well as the record. Our country had lived quite awhile before 1933. We have traveled quite a distance since the days back in 1776 when our forefathers decided that they were tired of being regimented by the London Brain Trust, tired of being told what they could and could not raise or manufacture, what they could sell and with whom they could or could not trade. Then our country was a handful of poverty-ridden colonies scattered along the Atlantic coast. But in spite of the then poor outlook and despite the robber barons and predatory interests which the Brain Trusters now talk about, we did fairly well. In a century and a half we became the richest and potentially the most powerful nation in the world—writing a record which has never been equaled since human history began. As a nation of individualists we assumed world leadership in industry. We paid the highest wages in the world, and we had and still have, for that matter, the highest standards of living in the world—standards that were the admiration and envy of people all over the globe. Our people wore the best clothes, ate the best food, had more automobiles, more iceless refrigerators more radios and other items of comfort and luxury than all the rest of the world combined. The homes of our workmen were the best in the world, our telephones, railways, airways and other systems of communication and transportation were the finest the world had been able to produce. All of this, according to the prophets of the New Era, was accomplished by a nation of slaves driven by robber barons and predatory interests! It is true that something serious happened in 1929 but not as the fault of our system of government. It was world-wide and a financial and economic crash perhaps the worst the earth has ever known, produced by the world-wide inflation and speculation which followed the war that was to "make the world safe for democracy." The people themselves, those connected with big business, and entirely without imbued with their greatness be remembered so rich, and thus made, have done. There is a very principles of good budgets, nation orgy or to flight Uncle Sam owe recover.

The zanjero reported that $13 worth of water had to be delivered yet from the list of Sept. 7 and that a good stream of water is coming in the ditch now. Resolved: To levy an assessment of 50 cents peracre on the capital of the company, to become dellinquent on the 23rd day of Oct. next. Water sold, $41. No more business, the meeting adjourned to meet at the Town Hall, Sept. 28, 1878, at 3 o'clock p.m. John Fischer, Secretary. Town Hall, Sept. 28, 1878. Meeting of the board of trustees of the Anaheim Water company. Pres. Theo. Reiser in the chair, F. A. Korn absent. The zanjero reported $71 worth of water delivered since last Saturday. A bill for man on the river, of $8, ordered paid. Notices of Anahelm Bank were received, and action upon it postponed till Monday next in expectation of the arrival of Mr. Shanklin. The secretary was instructed to attend to the raising of the capital stock. Resolved: To appoint a committee of two, to get 500 certificates of stock and 1000 receipts printed, also procure books, maps and seal, necessary for the company. Messrs. A. Langenberger and John Fischer were appointed such committee. Water sold, $18. No more business, the meeting adjourned. John Fischer, Secretary. Town Hall, Oct. 5, 1878. Meeting of the board of trustees of the Anaheim Water company. Vice-President Theo. Rimpau in the chair. Theo. Reiser absent. Minutes of the previous meeting read and approved. The zanjero stated that all water ex- OBSERVATIONS MIGHT AS WELL KILL A FELLER AS SCARE HIM TO DEATH Was that a quake? I believe it was. No, I think it was the big guns out at sea-target practice. No, I tell you it was a quake. Perhaps it was. There it is again! I know it's a quake. Maybe you're right. You see—there it is again. I'm sure its a quake. No it's only those big guns. They ought to be moved further out to sea. Well, maybe you're right. But I was sure scared and ready to run. IT WONT BE LONG NOW If you look closely you will see in the paper where the Prince of Wales says he sees no reason why the wimmin should not wear shorts, especially while on the tennis courts. FIFTY-FIFTY It looks like the big playboys are not going over to Europe as they used to. Perhaps it's the 50-cent dollar that's doing the trick. If you were in Gay Paree and laid down a $20 dollar Americano bill on the bar the guy behind the counter would hand you their money in change—which would be 50 cents on the dollar. Whoops! EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS If anybody should ask you, tell them that the big, rich fellows who have been going sight seeing abroad, if they would stay here for a couple or three seasons and raise the wages, cut down the hours, and employ more help, they could do a whale of a lot of good in helping out in this and that and whatever alphabetical idea you might have about you. AND THE NEXT DAY IT RAINED Bill—What do they mean when they talk about reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries. Jim—Why, er, that has to do something about one buying from the other. You know, one takes the other fellow's goods. Sort of an exchange. Bill—Well, we buy a lot of oil from those South American countries, and shut down our oil wells; but what do business, and thousands whose incomes were modest, were not entirely without blame. They became dazzled by prospects and imbued with the idea that they might become rich or richer by spending rather than saving, by gambling rather than by working. It is a result which inevitably follows when a great portion of the people forget their God and the sound traditions on which their greatness and prosperity have been founded. And it is to be remembered that the rich lost along with those who were not so rich, and the poor as is usually the case, when mistakes are made, have done their full share of suffering. There is a way out, but it is a way which leads back to sound principles of government, to economy and sanity, to balanced budgets, national, state and individual, not to a new spending orgy or to flights into the realm of fancy in the fond belief that Uncle Sam owes us a living. If we follow the right path we shall recover. If we leap into the flying trapeze and make a grab for the rainbow, Providence alone knows what will happen to us before our problems are finally solved. Town Hall, Oct. 24, 1878. A special meeting of the trustees was held and the following resolution adopted, to-wit: "That 986 shares paid up in full representing the paid up capital of $29,580 in the Anaheim Water company shall be reserved for future action of the company." John Fischer, Secretary. Town Hall, Oct. 26, 1878. Meeting of the board of trustees of the Anaheim Water company. President Theo. Reisler in the chair; all members present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The zanjero stated that all water sold is delivered. The following bills ordered paid, to-wit: For work, $1.50; printing, $16.50; seal, $11.50; $6 to Domingo Andrado for damage on his corn field for running a ditch through. A communication from the secretary of the Cajon Irrigation company was read, requesting the election of a commissioner to take charge of our one-half of the ditch. Resolved: That the secretary be instructed to answer to the effect that AND THE NEXT DAY IT RAINED Bill—What do they mean when they talk about reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries.

It begins to look like we are going to have a hard winter. Good day. YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANNOT MAKE HIM DRINK It's all right for a state to fix the minimum price at which a commodity shall be sold; but you can't force anyone to buy it. HANDING HIM A LEMON A man steps up to say that the producer of an article should have the right to say at what price the article shall be re-sold, after it leaves his hands; but that would invade a person's property right, because when he buys a thing it's his, and he could keep it, sell it or give it away if he wanted to. Whoops! the board would send up a gentleman to act as commissioner pro tem until we could call a general meeting to elect one. F. R. Korn was appointed to fill this office. Resolved: To appoint a committee of three with authority to engage a competent engineer to select the place of connection with the Cajon Irrigation company's ditch. Messrs. Korn, Langenberger and Rimpau were appointed by the president to act as such committee. Water sold, $21. No more business on hand, the meeting adjourned. John Fischer, Secretary. A great deal more Federal money is to be distributed in various ways designed to get ready cash into the hands of the consumers, within the next few months. It will begin about the first of July, after the close of the Government's fiscal year on June 30, and the present program calls for expenditure at the rate of about $400,000,000 a month, for an indefinite period. This money will go out through numerous channels. The newest of these pipe-lines from the Treasury to the individual is the drought relief fund of $525,000,000, to be distributed in the ten states where the record-breaking drought has wrought havoc among all classes of farmers. Recovery Program Continues There is still more than a billion and a quarter dollars in the fund for home loans to distressed mortgagors. Some of this is to be put to work to provide employment in the building trades, by the process of making additional loans for repairs and improvements to property on which home loans have been made or which are eligible for such loans. Money will go out faster now for public works, under the PWA. More of the money will go out to finance rural schools. Still more will be spent to continue the CCC camps. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration will put another billion and a half into direct unemployment and poor relief, mostly through and in cooperation with state and local agencies. Then there are the payments under the wheat, corn-hog, cotton and tobacco contracts, though much of this does not come directly out of Government funds but is collected through processing taxes and distributed by Government agencies. The belief in Administration circles is now that it will take about another year of Government spending at this out plan for insuring mortgage capital against less, private funds in enormous amounts would become available for new residential construction. It now begins to look as if, while there is a great need for new homes, few people are willing as yet to run into debt to buy or build houses. Fair and Reasonable Profits With Congress out of the way until next January there can be no new legislation, and the nation can take time to sit back and evaluate what has been enacted, and find out whether it looks, on the whole beneficial or injurious to private capital and enterprise. There seems to be a feeling that the President will not willingly use the broad powers granted to him in any injurious way, that he is essentially conservative. In his recent statement expounding his plans for the future he took pains to lay stress on the statement that there is to be no interference with fair and reasonable profits. The Administration's friends believe that as things quiet down during the Summer, business men will begin to realize that a good many of the things that have frightened them are bogies, without real power to do them harm. Also, it looks as though the whole Administration program has now been disclosed. High Spots of New Deal The Federal Government is now in control of the activities of all of its citizens to an extent that, three years ago, would have been deemed impossible in America. Three years ago Congress was debating whether it was any part of the Government's duty to share the burden of relief for the destitute. Now it is the accepted thing, with proposals for old-age pensions and unemployment insurance on a national scale coming to the fore. HERVATIONS KILL KILL A FELLER HIM TO DEATH quake?

Then there are the payments under the wheat, corn-hog, cotton and tobacco contracts, though much of this does not come directly out of Government funds but is collected through processing taxes and distributed by Government agencies. The belief in Administration circles is now that it will take about another year of Government spending at this rate to stimulate business to the point where private capital will find it profitable to come out of hiding and go to work in productive industries. Admit Some Slips It is admitted by the Administration's friends that recovery has not come as fast as had been expected, and that some of the Government's projects to stimulate it have not worked. There is also a growing realization that business men and capitalists are not showing any great amount of confidence in the Government. Until that confidence returns, there will naturally be little inclination on the part of private capital to risk its money. Where investments are most needed right now are in the building industry. More than 5,000,000 men, normally, are employed in the building trades. It has been President Roosevelt's hope that under the carefully worked THE BOOK the first line of which reads, "The Holy Bible," and which contains Four Great Treasures by BRUCE BARTON THE GREAT LIFE One spring evening some nineteen hundred years ago a band of hard-faced men stole out of Jerusalem, crossed a little valley and made their way into the Garden of Gethsemane. Armed with clubs and spears, they carried torches which cast weird shadows. Through they doubtless tried to move quietly, the noise of their progress must have jangled cruelly in the peace of that lovely night. At the gate that opened into a garden on the slope of the hill stood Jesus of Nazareth awaiting them. A pathetic little company of disciples trembled about Him, but as the heavy steps drew closer and the spear points gleamed in the flickering light, the disciples melted away until He was not one of the original twelve disciples; indeed, he may never have seen Jesus except on that fateful night. His mother was a believer. The Last Supper was at her house. You can picture the active-minded boy, lying curious in his bed in the family room downstairs, over hearing the wonderful farewell words of Jesus, the final hymn, and the rustle of preparation for departure. On the impulse of the moment he jumped out of bed and followed to the Garden. Whether he was a witness to any of the events of the next few days we have no means of knowing. We do know, however, that he was associated for a time with Paul and later with Peter.

At the gate that opened into a garden on the slope of the hill stood Jesus of Nazareth awaiting them.

Not quite alone. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men [soldiers or members of the mob] laid hold on him; And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. These words are our introduction to an important historical character. The young man who left his linen cloth and fled naked was Mark, author of the so-called "second Gospel," which, in point of composition, is actually the first. Before any other kind had thought of it, he conceived the grand idea of making a written record of the works and words of Jesus. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Starch your linen before you mark it with indelible ink. The stack will prevent the ink from blurring. Scorched spots can be removed by laying a thick paste of starch over the spots, making the paste with just it with indelible ink. The starch will well. Let the starch dry on the material and then wash out thoroughly. Your rags will look like new if you scrub them with a stiff brush moistened in diluted ammonia and rinse them off with the garden hose when hanging on the clothes line. Left over rolls and biscuits may be freshened by placing them in a paper bag, tying the mouth securely, sprinkling the bag with water and placing the whole thing in the warming oven. They taste and feel like fresh ones. Ask your butcher to cut off the long end piece of your porterhouse steak, leaving the tissue intact. Have him put this section of the meat through the meat grinder twice and then replace it, holding it in place with the tissue he left intact. This part of the steak is tender and attractive when served.
