DIET GREETING TO READERS Far dearer the grave or the prison, Illumed by a patriot's name Than the trophies of all who have risen On liberty's ruins to fame. —Moore. POOR INDEED is the community that goes bankrupt on ideals. A BAD temper becomes a hard master, if one gives way to it. THERE IS nutrition and tooth-someness in the California olive. Eat this fruit often. IT IS a poor rain, in California, at this season, that is not worth a few million dollars. IN THE midst of every vicissitude of life, one of the very best assets anyone can have is good common sense. ANOTHER REASON why Heaven is heavenly is because there is no shortage of housing there. THERE IS a fragrance about sincerity and honesty that deception and dishonesty never can have. NO OHIO boy grows up with any insurance against being struck by Presidential Lightning. ROBERT BURNS wrote poetry that lives, not alone in the mechanical memory of men, but in their hearts. EAT A ripe olive on Feb. 21. Then eat some more. Get into the way of eating California olives frequently. THE WAY to retrench is not to increase appropriations beyond actual needs of government administered.

New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, Jan. 25—Do you carry a little guinea pig in your pocket? Probably not; but if you have any friends among the unregenerate who have not yet got around to applying the 18th amendment personally, a smooth coated little guinea pig would make a splendid gift. It has been quite a popular companion here in New York. For it is the whiskey tester infallible. If the cavy, as it is known in professional circles, drinks a few drops of liquor and still lives, the human being standing breathlessly by, may safely go ahead with it. But if so much as a drop of wood alcohol is present; the cavy dies without delay. Incidentally, the price of the little animal has risen from $3 to $15, since its valuable quality became more valuable. It must be a smooth coated guinea, though. The rough coated ones haven't sufficiently riotous spirit to drink liquor of any sort. Mrs. Arthur Hammerstein has returned to the stage. When she was married a year and a half ago to the theatrical producer, it was announced that she ad formally and d permanently renounced the stage. But the lure of the footlights has brought her back into her husband's own production, "Tickle Me." She has stepped, unannounced, into the prima donna part under her former stage name, Claire Nagle. She will be remembered for her work in "Ziegfeld's Follies," "Jack o' Lantern," and in "Tumble In," the Hammerstein production which led to her marriage with the producer.

It is understood that counsel for the trustees of the school district will announce their intention of appealing the case to the District Court of Appeals. The preemptory writ of mandate favoring Abernathy was rendered Jan. 11, following a hearing of the case before Superior Judge West.

PROMINENT FLORIDA CITRUS MEN COMING SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 25—That 20 prominent Florida growers will make a trip to see the 11th National Orange Show in this city Feb. 18 to 28, was the announcement in a letter received today from J. C. Weston, St. Augustine, Fla., capitalist and citrus fruit grower. The Florida party will be up of men who are devoting a great deal of time and money to the upbuilding of the citrus industry in that state and while here will investigate the latest scientific horticultural methods practiced by California growers. Witman, Eyesight Specialist. New York society is considerably interested in the report from Budapest that Count Laszlov Szechenyi is preparing to sail for America to visit his wife and children, and that he plans to return to Hungary with them in March. The countess, who was Gladys Vanderbilt, has been here since September visiting her mother, Mrs. Cornellus Vanderbilt, and her sister, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Ever since her arrival there have been persistent rumors that a divorce was contemplated and that, at any rate, the countess and her children were here to stay. Her family refused to discuss these reports, but they also now refuse to discuss the report of the count's plans to come after his wife and children. One thousand dollars a plate for stew, bread and cocoa; that is what guests paid and received at the European relief council dinner the other night. The dinner, arranged by Herbert Hoover, was open to anyone who contributed or collected $1000 for the relief fund, and it consisted of the exact fare of the dinners being served to the hungry children of the near east. Magistrate Silberman, of Washington Heights court, is not entirely certain that some one didn't slip him one of those pills made famous by Sam Bernard in "As You Were," which carry you back thru a century or two every time you swallow one. He was forced to hold a hearing the other day in which the issue at stake was whether or not Mrs. Beasle Avorin is a witch. And a dozen unofficial witnesses declared from their seats in the court room that she is Mrs. Sophie Stern, of W. 145th st., declared that Mrs. Avorin has used a curse on her little girl and made a cripple of her. "She is a witch," she answered to all questioning. Hisses from the non-witch-believers contested for supremacy with cries of "Witch! Witch!" from the supporters of Mrs. Stern. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence. Box office prices are said to be getting ready to drop, yes, actually drop. The Shuberts express the opinion that 50 cents will be cut from the present $3 level and Charles Dillingham echoes the same thought, "Not for the elaborate productions which have such a tremendous overhead that charges must be high to cover it." He said, "The average play, however, is going to be seen at lower cost, without a doubt." Fortunately the eyes of youth grasp only one sort of realism in the world of motion pictures. The other day, at one of the especially popular showings, a child was watching interestedly, when the setting changed to an elaborately furnished room in the center of which stood a luxurious bed. The heroine was just emerging from "If you were in the east in midwinter, would you go thru rain and snow, thru slush and mud, hub deep, over mountains and across deserts even in the sturdiest auto in order that you might get back to dear old So. Cal?" This was the question the Chandler and Cleveland Service Station, Anaheim, distributor for the Chandler and Cleveland, shouted at a friend today. He then pointed to the success of E. S. Fuller, of Los Angeles, in making a transcontinental trip in a Cleveland auto with road conditions as described in his question. "Leaving Foxboro, Mass., Nov. 18, with his wife and baby, Fuller" Letters From People DENIES PORTERVILLE FREEZE The Plain Dealer: Under date of Jan. 15, in your paper is an interview with a Mr. G. W. Sandilands of the Orange & Lemon Assn., stating that he had a telephone call from a Los Angeles man who claims to have been in Porterville. Every statement made by this Los Angeles man is absolutely untrue regarding any freeze in Porterville and I believe in your fairness to this section of California by stating these facts. In the first place, it would be impossible to form skating ice with a temperature of 24 degrees. I don't believe that any time this winter a mudge pot has been used in this section, and as to irrigating, I believe you would find water running in different groves not only all night but all day as well, for the simple season that when they start irrigating, a great many hold the water both Fortunately the eyes of youth grasp only one sort of realism in the world of motion pictures. The other day, at one of the especially popular showings, a child was watching interestedly, when the setting changed to an elaborately furnished room, in the center of which stood a luxurious bed. The heroine was just emerging from the silken coverlets to flee, att he midnight hour, from the scene of her misery. As she slipped into conveniently placed boudoir slippers and reached for a fluffy negligee, the child's disapproving voice broke the tense silence. "Mother," she whispered hoarsely, "Mother, look at that. She went to bed with her shirt on under her night-gown. Doesn't she know that isn't healthy?"

If you forget to put out your ticket you will have no milk and I will have it left on my hands at a loss. Increase Your Order for MILK today CALIFORNIA Tuesday, January 25, 1921 es Mud and Storms In Atlantic to Pacific Coast Trip automobile that successfully battled with sleet and snow, mud and slush in a mid-winter Mass., to Los Angeles, returning E. S. Fuller and family to their home in Los Angeles, the route traveled by Fuller. Just completed an ocean-to-ocean tour under the most severe weather and road conditions," said Warburton. "He early encountered rains and storms. At Ithaca, N. Y., he was urged not to attempt the trip across the state to the Lincoln highway connection at Bedford, Pa. Fuller was not to be turned back, but he found the road about as bad as portrayed. For 54 miles he drove thru hub-deep mud, sand and gravel, which buffed the paint off his wheels. The depth and clinging nature of the mud compelled him to drive the entire distance in low and intermediate. To his surprise even this strenuous work did not overheat the motor." "Crossing Southern Illinois, rough, rutted roads and deep mud made travel almost impossible. West of Emporia, Kan., they encountered a blinding snowstorm, which made it very difficult to follow the road. Twice this day the car went into the ditch, nearly overturning, and in both cases the powerful six-cylinder motor pulled them out. It required 10 hours to travel 60 miles that day. Thru Arizona and New Mexico were long stretches of road where the car bumped over rocks and boulders until Fuller felt the frame or axles must give way. But the Cleveland six came thru without damage. From Deming west the going was easier." Best MILK —Let us cooperate, so that I can furnish you the best milk produced.
