DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS For praise, that's due, does give no more To worth than what it had before; But to commend without desert. Requires a mastery of art. That sets a glass on what's amiss. And says what should be, not what is. Butler PUREST AMERICANISM WAS LINCOLN'S Abraham Lincoln has been called "the first American." It is fitting, as his birth anniversary is being observed, to study the Americanism of Mr. Lincoln. He was an American true to type, born of typical American frontier parents, knowing no land but the land of his nativity, having no foreign travel or interest to distract him from undivided devotion to America. He was not a braggart or a bully, in his manifestations of his Americanism. To use the humely expulsion, he did not go about with a chip on his shoulder, as President, seeking a quarrel with other nations. On the contrary, his savvity, his delicate sense of diplomacy, averted a very serious crisis with Great Britain in the Mason and Slidell affair. Yet he could be firm in his foreign policies. Mr. Lincoln was a superlatively great American because he typified in his own character and career, the rugged honesties, the unchanging virtues, the homely simplicity and the mental capabilities which make Americans a great people in and before the world. Mr. Lincoln was a magnificently great American because of the deathless principles which he voiced with such solemn majesty. He was a great typical American in that he loved peace, yet would fight if forced to do so, to uphold the Union and to preserve the national honor and dignity. He was a great typical American in that he stood for law and order, for freedom under law, for the progressive betterment of the masses, and for the promotion of justice and good will between high and man, and between nation and nation. The Americanism of Abraham Lincoln is an inspiring subject for study and for emulation. COST OF WORLD WAR HUGE BEYOND WORDS The World War is moving toward the background in history, so that experts, studying the struggle and getting a truer perspective upon it as it recodes in time, are beginning to estimate the appalling cost of the unparalleled conflict. Dr. R. P. Strong, of the faculty of the Harvard Medical School, estimates the total cost of the World War at more than $348,000,-000,000! Such figures daze and stagger the comprehension. It is utterly impossible for the human mind to grasp fully and comprehend the immenalty of this treasure, lost in the FOR SALE Southland Hotel Long Lease—Cheap Rent. Not Income $550 Monthly.

Teggart Motors ANAHEIM PHONE 490 THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA MIGHTY STRUGGLE. The direct cost of the great war is estimated at $186,000,000; the indirect costs, $84,000,000,000; and the cost of lives lost, estimated on their economic values, $78,000,000,000. The potential loss of life due to the war is estimated at 45,000,000. These figures are startling, horrifying, sickening. They are mathematically representative of the ghastiless of tragedies that ever befell the world. There are sentimental and spiritual values, torn down and crushed by the titanic clash of arms that neither the Arabic nor any other system of enumeration could appraise. Another such war and the world would be bankrupt and ruined. Another such war and civilization would sink hopelessly. Against its recurrence every force and influence in every civilized land, school directed. The United States should be in the van of nations bent upon preserving just peace throughout the world for all time. WARFARE is too costly, in blood and treasure, to be entered into lightly or needlessly. ECONOMIC readjustment soon will be completed and in the past ten years Economic normality is approaching. MRS. HARDING indulges in blues not the kind that depress the spirit but the kind that many women like in their wearing apparel. A COMPARATIVELY small standing army in this country will not burden the people with huge costs, and will not savor of militarism. THE SAVING grace of good common sense has helped and is helping the American people to make the grade safely, in economic readjustment. GOOD NEWS from business and industrial centers, of renewed briskness in trade in larger operations in manufactures, corroborate the cheering predictions of better times which business and financial experts are making. DISABLED SERVICE men of the world war should have prompt and adequate attention from the national government. They should be given proper treatment and the best of care. MANY ENTRIES FOR HEAD PIN TOURNEY Yungbluths' defeated Schneider's Market two straight while the Studebakers were handling Dugas & Myre the same way in the City Bowling last night. Tonight the Anaheim Laundry team composed of Karam, Gordon Johnson Evans and Theodore will go to Los Angeles to meet Dad Meek's Southpaws. Interest continues to increase in the Head Pin Tourney to be rolled at the local alleys. Sunday between 10 a.m. and midnight. The list of entries is near the desired 150 mark and schedule of 15 prizes has been posted on the blackboard at Dugas & Myre's. This, the first Head Pin Tourney ever rolled on the Pacific coast, promises to be as popular as the event annually proves to be in backgammon cities. It is popular because there is no entrance fee and every bowler, whatever his class, has a chance at the 120-goal, the highest possible score, since each man is allowed but one ball for 12 frames, only those pins knocked down when the head pin is hit counting, there being no strikes nor spares.

The plan comprises the calling of a conference between the United States, France, Great Britain, Japan and Italy to arrange for the settlement of war debts to this country. Senator France proposes to fix the German, indemnity at $15,000,000-000 payable in gold annually, with interest. 14 TEACHERS:URGE ABERNATHY OUSTED Continued from Page One) "That on or about the 14th day of April, 1920, at the Broadway School, said Abernathy told Miss Grimshaw that he would never enter a teacher's room if she were elected over his head; that in such case he would never sign any promotion cards. When she remonstrated with him and told him the patrons of the school would not stand for such action, he replied that he "wasn't afraid of God, Man, or the Devil." "That on or about the 7th day of May, 1920, he (Abernathy) told Miss Moyer, one of the teachers, that if she dared thank Mr. Sloop for her warrant he would not recommend her for a position. "That Abernathy failed to properly supervise the conduct of the schools of said district, or to enforce proper discipline therein, that he was ignorant of the conditions existing in said schools or of the manner in which said schools were being conducted; that he was not informed as to the grades the various teachers were teaching, and on or about the 11th day of May, 1920, visited various teachers and inquired of them what grades they were teaching." GOOD NEWS from business and industrial centers, of renewed briskness in trade in larger operations in manufactures, corroborate the cheering predictions of better times which business and financial experts are making. DISABLED SERVICE men of the world should have prompt and adequate attention from the national government. They should be given proper treatment and the best of care. This is the least the nation can do for these gallant men who served and sacrificed in the hour of the world's peril. WHETHER OR not military airplanes are superior to great battleships is to be put to test by the war and navy departments. The public is open-minded about it, and only desires that the truth be ascertained by demonstration, so that the wisest course may be pursued in building for the national defense. AMERICANS. In the midst of their abundance, are not content to go on feasting in indifference while millions of children are hungry in Europe and while millions face starvation in China. The big, generous heart of America impels it to contribute liberally to relieve abject misery in dark corners of the world. SYSTEMATIC AND vigorous, but moderate, advertising of California should be carried on inconsenty. This state, replete with rich resources and charms that it is, cannot afford to rest on its oars. Other states and sections are pushing themselves. California must persist in its promotional efforts so that it, at all times, may more than hold its own. VAST RECLAMATION works will be undertaken in the west, in the near future, from present indications. Influential efforts are to be put forth to induce congress to act favorably, and it is felt that Mr. Harding, in the white house, will sanction and promote proper progressive legislation along this line. It will be of incalculable benefit to this section and will add vastly to its produced riches. ABRAHAM LINCOLN was intensely human; homely, awkward, unpretentious, simple as a child, yet noble in his simplicity; free from false pride or pompous vanity, humble, ready to admit that he was capable of making mistakes, yet singularly sound in his judgments. Abraham Lincoln stands before the world as one of the humans of human being, yet a sone exalted in spirit and illustrious in deeds. THE WORLD war stressed national solidarity in the United States. It is a godsend to be rid of sectional prejudice and ill feeling. The lesson is impressed enduringly upon all the people that what is good for the whole nation, is good for each and every part of the nation; and that what is harmful to any section of the country.

Abraham Lincoln stands before the world as one of the humanest of human being, yet a sone exalted in spirit and illustrious in deeds. THE WORLD war stressed national solidarity in the United States. It is a godsend to be rid of sectional prejudice and ill feeling. The lesson is impressed enduringly upon all the people that what is good for the whole nation, is good for each and every part of the nation; and that what is harmful to any section of the country, cannot, in the long run, be beneficial to other sections. The welfare of the whole nation is bound up in the weal of its several sections. THAT WHICH the nation owes the service men of the world war is not only a debt of gratitude, but a debt of honor. Support was pledged them solemnly, in the dark hours of crises when they came forward to bear the heat and burden of the mighty struggle and to turn it into victory, which they did. They gallantly fulfilled their part of the momentous work. A grateful, honorable government should do its full part by them, particularly by those who were disabled in, or as a result of, war service. CLAIM GEDDES GAVE "NO WAR" INTERVIEW LONDON.
