And feeling hearts—touch them but lightly—pour A thousand melodies unheard before. WARFARE STAGGERING IN COSTLINESS As the clouds of the World War are lifting, the staggering costliness or that struggle, in lives and treasury, is being disclosed in all its ghastfulness. The world is robbed of millions of men, in the prime of life, who perished on the battle front or of hardships or disease incident to military service. The world is robbed of millions of men, women and children who, since 1914, have come to intimately death because of famine, or disease or fatal conditions resulting from the World War. The harvest of death goes on. Millions of children face starvation in Europe today, and only the helpful hand of generous America is saving them. But studying briefly the purely material side of the situation: The World War saddled upon each one of the Allied powers participating in the conflict debts that are mountainous and that, at best, will entail burdens for generations. France, which suffered more than any other country in devastations, is confronted by startling economic conditions. The best brains of that republic, the EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL Largest and Most Complete Stock In Northern Orange County JOSSEPH A. LIER 111 E. Chartres Anaheim Phone 531 most devoted patriotism and the keenest resourcefulness of its people, will be required to keep the nation from sinking under its stupendous burden of debt. Even the huge reparations which are to be exacted, will not put France on its financial feet. Great Britain, too, has a colossal load of war debts, and the United States, as every American has cause to know, is grappling with huge budgets and enormous taxes, direct inheritances from the World War. The great conflict brought the world nearer to bankruptcy than it ever was before; robbed it of more millions of men in a shorter period of time than ever before; brought more millions of human beings into poignant distress than ever before; devastated the earth more than ever before. Shall it ever be repeated? God have mercy on the world, if it should be! PACIFICATION OF CUBA SEEMS ASSURED Encouraging intelligence comes from Cuba, to the effect that the conditions which threatened bloody insurrection and a state of chaos that would have called for American intervention, rapidly are becoming better, thanks to the earnest, well-directed efforts of Gen. Enoch Crowder, who is in the island as the personal representative of President Wilson, charged with the task of bringing about order and settled conditions. A new electoral law is near to adoption by the Cuban congress, and this, it is expected, will clear up the political crisis in the island. A measure has been enacted providing for the gradual liquidation of banking and commercial obligations, effective Feb. 1. These constructive, remedial steps are tranquilizing Cuba, and the danger of serious disorder seems to be past. This welcome outcome of a situation that seemed to threaten grave master, will owe creature of the valuable to him as they complete the conference on each conference and ciff impression.

Huntington Beach. For a month or more the Huntington Beach field has been in need of a booster to encourage the tremendous amount of new development work that has been started. The field got it when the Standard Oil Co. got its Huntington B-1 cleaned out and producing 800 barrels daily. Huntington B-1 now gives an idea of what may be expected from the central portion of the field. The big Standard well boosts development work at once, and a number of small companies are scheduled to begin active drilling.

Serrano seems to know all of the popular song hits and several of the prisoners who can sing—and others who can't—join in the chorus when Serrano hits upon some tune with which they are familiar. The prisoners resort to various forms of amusement to pass the time away. Of course the different nationalities flock together. There are several Japanese and several Mexicans prisoners in the jail at present. The white men play cards, checkers, chess and other games and the aliens have games of their native countries to amuse them. According to the official records of Deputy Sheriff Theo Lacy, in charge of the jail, there are 74 prisoners in the jail. Of this number 63 are held for alleged misdeanor offenses and 13 are held on felony charges. The tears and distress that came to Mrs. Mary Hately of Newport Beach when her home and all of her belongings were burned Jan. 17 have been transformed into smiles and a deep feeling of thankfulness. Thru the generosity of the people of Newport Beach, some of whom were friends of Mrs. Hately and some of whom while not knowing her, knew of her loss, a new home has been built for her. New furniture has been supplied, and Mrs. Hately is once more upon her feet. She has been re-established in a home of her own, and can now do something to earn a living for herself and three dependent sons. Mrs. Hately, a widow, was taking in washing in her effort to get money with which to support herself and her children. She had just bought a washing machine when fire destroyed her home. Nothing was saved. At Newport Beach about $300 was quickly subscribed. Carpenters donated their services in building. Already two rooms of the new home have been built and Mrs. Hately has moved into the place while carpenters are still busy putting on the kitchen. In Santa Ana about $200 was subscribed. Why should Santa Ana be the Gretna Green of the matrimonially inclined in So Cal, and especially of Los Angeles? Here's what County Clerk J. M. ("Cupid") Backs has to say: "Since Santa Ana has been a county seat it has been the Gretna Green of love sick couples from Los Angeles and it probably always will be." "Santa Ana is the nearest county seat to the big city." Backs continued,"and that is no doubt the principal reason. I suppose San Bernardino, Riverside and other county seats in the Southland get a share of the marriage license seakers from Los Angeles." Backs said that probably most of the couples desire a quiet wedding motor Oil and Refining Co....No 1-Rig built. Petroleum Midway—Columbia 1-1 Building rig. Columbia 3-1, 2745 sandy shale, drilling.

He is not expecting to repose on rose-beds. CONSERVATION of natural resources must not be overlooked in the nation's march of progress. Develop these resources, as needed, but guard against despilation and waste. UNCLE SAM and Our Lady of the Snows get on famously. There is a mutual understanding, respect and abiding friendship between the United States and the Dominion of Canada. THERE IS no valid excuse for any able-bodied person to be idle habitually, from choice. Each and every person able to do something useful should be busily engaged in doing it. GAMBLING if not suppressed, soon would choose the life out of organized baseball. Either gambling must go, or else the game must lose the confidence and the support of the public. THE UNITED STATES has no intention to meddle mischievously to meddle with the affairs of this nation. IF THERE are any great powers in the world spoiling for a fight, disarmament is something that cannot be considered seriously. Not until the leading nations of the world really crave lasting peace will it be possible to effect disarmament. ONE CAN strike up a conversation anywhere with the person who knows more about the Peete case than judge, jury and attorneys in the case. And some of those who know alabout it are not at all backward in telling what they deceive themselves into thinking they know. The Village Gossip The visit of Dr. W. H. Walker, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, meant more than mere farm bureau business to S. C. Hartranft, president of the Fullerton Farm Center. Hartranft and Walker were boyhood friends and later attended college together. They Here's what County Clerk J. M. ("Capid") Backs has to say: "Since Santa Ana has been a county seat it has been the Greta Green of love sick couples from Los Angeles and it probably always will be. 'Santa Ana is the nearest county seat to the big city.' Backs continued, "and that is no doubt the principal reason. I suppose San Bernardino, Riverside and the other county seats in the Southland get a share of the marriage license seekers from Los Angeles. Backs said that probably most of the couples desire a quiet wedding away from their friends and sometimes their relatives. Yet on the other hand many of the couples from Los Angeles bring their relatives or a friend or two with them, said Backs. A glimpse at the record of marriage licenses issued in the course of a day will show that from one-half to two-thirds of them are given to Los Angeles residents. Occasionally a shy couple will ask Backs or his deputy to keep the marriage license out of the papers. Backs says he usually tells them that it is up to the newspaper reporter. He says he politely informs them that the papers have a right to copy all licenses issued and that it is not for him to say which shall be published and which shall not. Many of the couples who get licenses at the county clerk's office go directly to Justice of the Peace Cox, who makes his headquarters in the basement of the county courthouse. Justice Cox meets them all with a smile and usually says: "I guess I know what you folks want." Then he gets down off the bench and does the necessary. The couple about to "take the count" stands on one side of a table and the justice on the other and the ceremony is short and sweet. "Now what are you going to do, young man?" asks Justice Cox after the knot is tied. The bashful bridegroom then plants a kiss on the lips of the fair one and after they receive the congratulations of the judge and one or two witnesses they depart. And the justice's coffer registers $2 more. Anaheim Post No. 72, American Legion Dance every Friday. Presell's Hall, Anaheim. Mattresses made over like new. A L. J., Box 34, Plain Dealer.

The last cementing was made at 3980 where is is hoped of the remaining water has been shut off. With the water shut off the Mascot figures on a small well at Gregg No. 2 No. 1 has been abandoned on account of failure to get all the water shut off. The Shell Co. of Calf. is continuing its efforts to make an oil well out of Baldwin 1-A. A fishing job for casing is now holding the work up at 4100 feet. Hart No. 1 is about ready to drill out the cement and resume drilling. The Shell's Santous continues to look encouraging at 3000 feet. The Southern California Oil Co. is going ahead drilling and making new hole at 1145, in hard sand that is exceedingly hard. work building the rig for No. 6, a new well. At No. 5 the cement is being drilled out at 2185. As this well has stood cemented for a number of months the drilling out of the cement may prove a rather difficult job. There is some danger in drilling outside of the pipe where the cement has stood for so long a time. Drilling is going right ahead at the Bannant Petroleum Co.'s well. At 3400 feet the formation showed a very hard shell. On the McNally property the Amalgamated is drilling in blue shale at 3800 feet. Thus far no showing-worth considering has been noted at the McNally. Lehigh and Son are getting their first well on the property of the old New England Oil Co. about ready to try out for production. Completed at 2030 the perforated pipe has been put in and an idea will be gained on the production in a few days. 77 REGISTER AT ART GALLERY Seventy-seven out of town visitors registered at the Laguna Beach Art Assn.
