We have been in the position of an aviator making an altitude record; we have been soaring miles high with prices of our labor and commodities. We have been like the pilot in a high grade airplane far above the clouds. If his engine stops or slows down, his continued existence depends on his god judgment and ability to bring his plane to earth without a crash which would wipe out himself and the machine. The pilots of industry are bringing our industrial machine to a lower and safer level. It is rough work for many but we are making the drop in a satisfactory manner. Government statistics show that wholesale values have fallen on an average of 24 pct since last May. This has taken place without a material reduction in wages and now wages are dropping in proportion in order that this reduction may be maintained and industry continue to operate at a profit. Labor is not going back to pre-war prices; if it goes half way back it will be sufficient readjustment, according to present reduction in cost of living. It is impossible for us to have pre-war prices when freight rates have increased 80 pct and taxes have increased 500 pct and better in many instances over the pre-war figure. The laboring man recognizes the changed conditions and in the great metal mining districts of the west, reductions of from 75 cents to $1 a day have been put into effect in order to avoid a shut-down of mining operations as a result of low metal prices. These reductions are being made in manner provided for in the contracts between mining companies and metal trades crafts. A labor surplus is rapidly building up in various districts with lumber ers, as it is impossible to determine what steps will be necessary in rationing oil, says the Shell Oil Co., of California. The fuel oil shortage has been increasingly acute for several months; all efforts of oil producers to fill demands and create reserve stocks for emergencies, have failed. Production has been increased but has not been able to keep up with an ever increasing demand. The situation is aggravated by a shortage of tankers for bringing oil to the Pacific coast from foreign fields, so that no relief of adequacy has been secured from outside sources. SOME MEMBERS of congress would scuttle the shipping board by refusing to make any appropriation for it. Is not this carrying the thing too far? THE U.S. government should husband its financial resources as carefully and as ably as does a great private corporation which is skillfully managed. THE MEMBERSHIP of congress is to be enlarged under the forthcoming reapportionment. It is to be hoped that this does not portend an enlargement of the Congressional Record. WHATEVER PROPOSED legislation affects the schools of California should be given wise deliberation. If betterments can be and should be made, well and good. But there should be no dubious experimenting. CALIFORNIA WALNUTS ADVERTISED IN POST The last issue of the Saturday Evening Post contains an advertisement of interest to local walnut growers. It is a full-page announcement of Diamond Brand California Walnuts, in colors. Following are recipes taken from it: Shoppe clover assists tions har price am stances. The m has not suits, etc. The labor surplus is rapidly building up in various districts with lumber companies curtailing railroad laying off men and farm help being reduced, but with the surplus is coming a great increase in efficiency. Most of our metal mining is being carried on at a loss and cost of production of western lumber is about $10 a thousand more than its selling price. As fast as wage adjustment can be made, however, there is every reason to believe that these industries will increase their output and that general activity over the nation will take up the slack in our business machine. FUEL OIL SHORTAGE Pacific coast steamship operators are facing serious oil shortage. Contracts for fuel oil, expiring Jan. 1, will not be renewed by the producer. Typewriters —The R.A. Tiernan Typewriter Co. wishes to announce to typewriter users that they can now purchase or rent all makes of machines locally, from Mr. E. D. Abrams, W. Center Street. Abrams Book Store 116 W. Center, Anaheim CALIFORNIA WALNUTS ADVERTISED IN POST The last issue of the Saturday Evening Post contains an advertisement of interest to local walnut growers. It is a full-page announcement of Diamond Brand California Walnuts, in colors. Following are recipes taken from it: Brown Betty Pudding Two cups finely chopped apples, ½ cup brown sugar; ½ cup bread crumbs; ½ cup chopped Diamond Brand Walnut Meats; cinnamon, nutmeg, butter. Put layer of apples in buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar, bread crumbs, walnut meats and spices. Dot with butter. Put in another layer of apples. Sprinkle with Walnuts, etc., and repeat till ingredients are used, finishing with bread crumbs on top. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Remove cover and let brown on top. Serve warm with cream. Delicious Walnut Bread Three cups flour; ¼ cup brown sugar; ½ teaspoon salt; 3 teaspoons baking powder; 1 cup Diamond Brand Walnut Meats; 1 egg; 1 cup milk. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Mix in Walnut meats. Add egg, well beaten, and milk. Pour into a greased pan and bake one hour. Have oven barely warm the first 15 minutes, gradually increasing the heat. You will find this bread especially tempting when served warm. Also it is delicious when toasted and served with marmalade or jam. Roasted Walnuts Put any number of Diamond Brand Walnuts in a moderate oven, right in the shell. The time necessary depends upon the oven temperature, but 30 minutes will generally be found satisfactory. When the nuts are roasted, crack and eat the meats. You'll find they have a new flavor—plquant, distinctive, "moreish." SERVICE MEN'S BONUS Shall the bonus to service men be given by the states or by the federal government?

VALNUTS IN POST the Saturday an advertise-local walnut age announcement and California Following aregest that there be a cash bonus, or a gift of land, or aid to secure a home in a town or city. This alternative system would result in giving soldiers, sailors and marines the kind of help that would be preferred. Many could get along without the cash bonus, but would appreciate aid to get a home or government land. Only by an act of congress could this alternative system that the legion asks for be worked out. Half a dozen states have already voted aid in the form of a cash bonus making a double system when logically it should be a national undertaking. SEES BUILDING AHEAD Speaking on the public utility, construction outlook, Col. Byllesby of the H. M. Byllesby Co., said: "The present tendency is toward the lowering of construction costs an dit would not be surprising if next spring will witness the beginning of the greatest construction period in central station history. Copper is now lower than the ten year average preceding the war. MANY BARGAINS AT S. Q. R. CLEARANCE The S. Q. R. Store reports their holiday business as better than last year. This large institution had 33 salespeople during the holiday rush. Their January Clearance Sale is now on in full swing and the extremely low prices featured makes it the most important sale Anaheim has ever known. Every department offers the biggest reductions in years. The thrifty housewife can now replenish her stocks as authorities are agreed the low point in cottons has been reached. Shoppers for ready-to-wear are in clover as in this department reductions have been most drastic, half price and less ruling in many instances. The men's and boys' department has not been overlooked. Overcoats, suits, etc., have been marked so that P.-T. A.'S ACTIVE THRUOUT COUNTY A meeting of the Fourth District Congress of Mothers and Parent-teachers' Assns, was held in Brea Saturday. There is a balance of $24-62 in the treasury. Two new and enthusiastic P.-T. A.'s have been formed in Seal Beach and at El Toro. Seal Beach has 100 members and El Toro 24 which is very good for the size of these communities. It was voted that all of the associations in Orange-co send 25c per capita to the National P.-T. A. for extension work in small communities. It was brot out that this association had been supported for years by a few wealthy ladies and the request for 10 cents instead of 5 cents of the quarter is very small in comparison with the rise in printing costs and the increased extension work which they are doing. It was voted to start a campaign against selling cigarettes to minors. The state law prohibiting such an act was read; also the law requiring tobacco dealers to have this law posted in a conspicuous place in their places of business. There is a $5 fine for the neglect of this. Reports from the districts showed the P.-T. A.'s to be doing good work for the schools of the county. The three P.-T. A.'s of Santa Ana have, during the past year, given the 350 Mexican parents and children a Xmas celebration, enabled the Girls' League to buy tooth brushes for the Mexican children: taken steps toward having a policewoman appointed; passed resolutions that parents are responsible for unchaperoned children after dark and are planning to buy a phonograph for one of the schools with the proceeds from a festival to be given next May. They also are hoping to establish a cafeteria in one of the schools in Santa Ana. One of the three associations gave $96 to their school and $50 for milk for the Mexican babies. La Habra has established a com-that if the school supervisors do not follow the wishes of the parents, it is the parents' fault, because they are not busy enough. Concerning the question, "Are Parents responsible for damage done by their children?" it was decided to try and make a law holding parents responsible for children under 16. The matron of the juvenile court in Santa Ana told of the Xmas traiand entertainment given the juvenile court children by the Rotary club. Next followed a most interesting talk on parental schools by Rev. Paul Wright, probation officer of San Ana. These schools are designed to keep the pupils 24 hours of the day as long as they need that kind of supervision, whether it is for two weeks or two months. In Whittier children cannot learn the school until 21. The parent school is for boys and girls ought to be separated from the boys and girls of the day schools but you are not bad enough for Whittier. Uder existing conditions such boys are brot before the court, given a talk to, let go and then they go back to their crowd and brag that nothing can be done to them, they only go scolded. San Bernardino is putting up $35,000 parental school now. The P.-T. A passed a resolution endoring these schools. Rev. Wright also brot out the fact that many cases of this kind wee for petty theft of tools. Boys are machine crazy these days. It then foreseems wise to place these tools in the schools where boys can get an opportunity to use them. Before adjourning a resolution was passed to extend the hearty thankfulness of the P.-T. A. to the press of Oange-co for the help extended to them thru the newspapers. The next meeting will be held at Anaheim, March 12 and the next day meeting in La Habra. THE GREAT. THE BRAVE. THE WISE. By Edgar A. Guest These are the great; the men who never ask More from this life than strength meet their task; The patient, willing tollers day day STOCK CO. TO PLAY TWO NIGHTS HERE Do you tell the truth Could you tell the truth for 24 hours? Upon that perplexing question hinges the plot of "Nothing But the Truth" which will be the third offering of the Trahern Stock Co. at the Grand both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings this week. The play is a screaming funny Willie Collier comedy and has had a long run in New York. The popularity of the new Anaheim stock organization has necessitated the arrangement of two performances each week here, instead of one. Last week the Grand was practically sold out in advance on "Trahern Night." The Trahern Stock Co. will appear at the Grand tonight and Wednesday night and each Tuesday and Wednesday nights hereafter in order that its increasing number of patrons may be accommodated. Reserved seats are on sale at Heying's Pharmacy for the Trahern plays for Wednesday night and are selling fast and indicate crowded houses for both performances. SANTA ANA C. OF C. PLANS GREAT PICNIC J. E. Leibig, Henry Buck, Joseph P. Smith, Samuel Jernigan and Walter W. Bldick have been appointed by Pres. E. E. Vincent of the Santa Ana C. of C. as a committee to make the plans and arrangements for the tourists' excursion and picnic to be held at Orange-co park Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 12, under the auspices of the chamber. The appointment was authorized by the board and every member is enthusiastic over the possibility of developing the picnic into an annual affair that will attract thousands of tourists to the county park each year. The Southland will be flooded with advertising matter announcing the picnic and inviting every tourist stopping in So. Cal., temporarily to attend. The guests will be expected to provide their own lunches, but Xmas celebration, enabled the Girls' League to buy tooth brushes for the Mexican children: taken steps toward having a policewoman appointed; passed resolutions that parents are responsible for unchaperoned children after dark and are planning to buy a phonograph for one of the schools with the proceeds from a festival to be given next May. They also are hoping to establish a cafeteria in one of the schools in Santa Ana. One of the three associations gave $96 to their school and $50 for milk for the Mexican babies. La Habra has established a community center, a Mexican school, furnished a rest room and added 65 new members to their list. Brea members are working for the purchase of a plane, the bringing of a male chorus there; the establishment of Grade Mothers and have given Victrola records for the highest percent of attendance among the grades. Yorba Linda has 140 working members. At the teachers' reception a $100 collection was taken. At a Halloween party $140 was realized. Fullerton has put new bath tubs in the schools and has tried to impress their parents that they should uphold better discipline in their homes and in the school. The degree to which some parents uphold their children in breaking school laws is surprising and most deplorable. Placentia has evening meetings and has purchased a moving picture machine for the schools. Lincoln supported two French orphans, has taken up a collection for the Chinese children and has bought a new phonographe for the school. In Tustin, the board of trustees have built a house for the school teachers and a new school house. The teachers were given a reception at which 300 were present. A Colonial party is planned for February. Anaheim has increased its membership from 30 to 170 and practically completed steps toward securing a community nurse. Olinda gives its teachers a party every two weeks at the homes of the parents. The seventh and eighth grade boys and girls of Katella raised vegetables and made articles for sale for a Harvest Festival given in a walnut warehouse. It proved such a success that the P.-T. A. ladies advanced each seventh and eighth grade pupil 50c and each sixth to fourth grade pupil 25c to be spent in raising a garden or making some article for another sale. They are encouraging the home gardens among the children all they can. They also are to have a baby conference and have secured a community nurse. In Tustin, the Grade Mothers have helped the teachers in giving picnics and in many other ways. At noon a delicious lunch was served in the halls of the school by the Brea ladies. The afternoon session was opened with readings by two children of Brea, and solos by Miss Reynolds, all of which were very much enjoyed. A Santa Ana lady burst out at The appointment was authorized by the board and every members is enthusiastic over the possibility of developing the picnic into an annual affair that attracts thousands of tourists to the county park each year. The Southland will be flooded with advertising matter announcing the picnic and inviting every tourist stopping in So. Cal. temporarily to attend. The guests will be expected to provide their own lunches, but coffee and cream will be provided by the C. of C. We look for the question to come up almost any time now as to whether it is proper for a Democrat to marry a Republican.—Tulsa Tribune.

Altho officials of the company could not be reached for information as to the probable starting of construction, railroad men familiar with conditions stated that the extension could easily be completed in less than a year.
