DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Oh- it is worse than mockery to list the sailor's tone. To lend a ready ear to thoughts the cheek must blush to own— To hear the red lip whispered of, and the flowing curl, and eye, Made a constant theme of eulogy extravagant and high— And the charm of person worshipped, in an homage offered not To the perfect charm of virtue, and the majesty of thought. Whittier. PRESIDENT'S HEALTH IS IMPROVING. The welcome news again comes from Washington that President Wilson's health continues to improve quite appreciably. Admiral Grayson, the President's personal physician, after being ill himself for three weeks, returned to the White House to find Mr. Wilson surprisingly improved. The President has been to the theatre twice in the last fortnight, has ridden out unaccompanied and has supervised some of the work on his new home. This shows a near return to the physical vigor that was his before he was stricken more than a year ago. Reports from Washington indicate that Mr. Wilson intends to take a complete rest for several months immediately after retiring from the Presidency. This, it is to be hoped, will suffice to restore him to the measure of strength usual to him before he was prostrated in the autumn of 1919. Mr. Wilson will leave the White House with the respect and goodwill of his countrymen of all political faiths. The hope is general, thru-out the land, that he may recover fully, and that he may be spared to many years of vigor to write the absorbing annals of the dramatic period in which he himself has been a figure so distinguished. SIMPLICITY MARKS LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT Soon is to be enacted at Washington a dramatic event, yet one which will be attended with the utmost simplicity. There will be a change of national administration. One President will give way to another one, differing widely in political views, principles and policies. The one will leave the White House and the other will enter it without the least personal or official animosity. There will be no "conquering hero" spectacle as Mr. Harding rides down Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol to take the fateful oath. He will not have to be guarded against partisans of the man who is quitting the White House. There are no bloody political funds in this land—thank God for this! Revolutions in government, such as this, come frequently, but they are peaceful, bloodless, good-will revolutions. They bear no menace to the peace or orderliness of the Nation. THE EAGLE on America's coat of arms is not a bird of prey. IF SATAN would only leave the world awhile, on a vacation! THE MILLS of the gods grind slowly—but they never shut down. COLUMBIA bears the torch of enlightenment, not the torch of incendiary. THE FARMERS are striking—out for the fields, to begin the spring plowing.

WALTER TIRES, TUBES AND ACCESSORIES ANAHEIM ORANGE 156 South Los Angeles Street, Phone 259 THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA The worst that befell the nation is not hopeless, by any means. MRS. HARDING has been in Washington superintending the removal of some of her household effects into the white house. It is to be hoped that she remembered to take along the waffle iron. The Village Gossip Most Fullerton residents who have for years been accustomed to keeping a few chickens in their back yards, are much concerned over the attitude of the city trustees in passing an ordinance, effective 30 days after the second reading, prohibiting the keeping of poultry within 25 feet of any house or building occupied by human beings. Some have gone so far as to dispose of their poultry at losses. The city trustees state they do not intend to make this ordinance prohibitive against the family poultry yard, but seek rather to regulate the location of such pens so that they will not be placed beneath the windows of homes, for sanitary reasons. It is asserted that the new arrangement of 25 feet will occasion no hardship upon anyone. A reasonable length of time after the passage of this ordinance will be afforded the public to make such changes in their poultry pens to conform with the law. There is a new town in the Stanton section. It is called Chihuahua City. Of 25 or 30 Mexican families living in the settlement, there are only two in which English is spoken. The residents of the place have themselves named the place Chihuahua City. The word "city" is pronounced with a Mexican sound. They call it "see-yu." A frequent visitor to this Mexican settlement is W. C. Roberts, county school attendance officer. "It is growing," said Roberts. "I should judge that a dozen new houses of the kind generally, occupied by Mexicans have been built in the place in the past two months." Chihuahua City is located about a quarter of a mile south of the P. E. 400 AT FEAST TO OPEN SAINT ANN'S Fully 400 of Santa Ana's most prominent citizens gathered in the spacious and beautifully appointed dining room of Saint Ann's Inn last night and enjoyed a most sumptuous and excellently served banquet. Saint Ann's Inn is Santa Ana's newest hotel, having just been completed, and the brilliant social occasion of last night featured its formal opening. Low hanging clouds and the pattern of rain drops only aided and accentuated the luxurious comfort and harmonious beauty of the Inn and it is certain that the evening will be long remembered by those privileged to attend. The distinguished visitors were Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, and wife; Frank P. Flint, of Los Angeles, former, U. S. senator from California, and William Alden Smith, of Grand Rapids, former senator from Michigan, and wife. The gentlemen above named were the speakers of the evening. M. A. McBride; of San Diego, general manager of the Scriptps-McLaee newspaper syndicate, accepted the invitation to be present during the evening but was detained by some unlooked-for difficulties. After serving of the banquet, E. E. Vincent, president of the Santa Ana C., of C., after a few remarks on the honor which was Santa Ana's in entertaining such guests, placed the program in the hands of Rev. J. A. Steyenson, toastmaster of the evening. After the introduction of Mr. and Mrs. William Hewins, managers of Saint Ann's Inn, and host and hostess of the evening, Senator William Alden Smith was presented. After the exchange of a few well directed shafts of humor, Senator Smith's remarks were of a more serious nature. He said that not only this country but the whole world from an economical standpoint was out of balance and that each step into the future must be taken with care and deliberation; that if our country was worth fighting and dying for, it was also worth thinking for. He capped summit, so does Mount Hamilton in Northern California, when the storm king sees fit to place a mantle of white upon the great dome of the Lick Observatory and the surrounding country, loom up from the floor of Santa Clara valley. However, while it is a common sight to see Mount Baldy topped with snow, it is a rare thing to have snow fall to any great depth on Mount Hamilton. And that is why the recent trip of a Buick touring car over muddy and snow-blocked roads to the summit of Mount Hamilton once more stamps the new 1921 model as one of the most powerful and reliable automobiles in the market today. In a raging snowstorm, over the road which ascends from the floor of Santa Clara Valley to the top of the mountain, a 1921 Buick touring car blazed the trail for other machines. Under ordinary driving conditions this trip taxes the power and readability of all automobiles, as there is a turn for every day in the year in the final climb to the summit, mostly of the hairpin variety. In making these 365 twists and turns through snow averaging two feet in depth and over roads which were deep with mud under the covering of snow, the Buick never faltered, but kept up its steady pulling and safely landed its load of five passengers at the door of the Lick Observatory. Anaheim Motor Co., Wm. Goodrum, manager, is the local distributor for life Buick.

The word "city" is pronounced with a Mexican sound. They call it "see-ty." A frequent visitor to the Mexican settlement is W. C. Roberts, county school attendance officer. "It is growing," said Roberts. "I should judge that a dozen new houses of the kind generally, occupied by Mexicans have been built in the place in the past two months." Chihuahua City is located about a quarter of a mile south of the P. E. tracks at Stanton. I don't know where the newcomers come from, whether from Mexico or from various localities in So. Calif. I do not know that in rounding up their children of school age I have to speak Spanish." Roberts said that the location seems to be favored by the Mexicans because from it they can easily reach ranches in the pepper and sugar beet sections where they work. Dan O'Hanlon, a captain in the English army during the war, who is now a resident of Fullerton, has been greatly pleased to receive the news from his old home in England that his father, Alderman John O'Hanlon has recently been honored by having the freedom of the borough of Wallis-send conferred upon him. Wallsend is adjoining Newcastle-on-Tyne. A writer in the Newcastle-Daily Chronicle has the following comment to make: "It was to me a matter of personal pleasure to read that the freedom of the borough of Wallsend is to be conferred on Ald. John O'Hanlon. This will be a well merited honor and a public acknowledgement of years of faithful work on the part of one of the clearest headed representatives the working people ever had to take a part in the administrative affairs of the town. "Ald. O'Hanlon is a working man of the large-minded type, capable of visualizing the interests of the whole as well as those of any section of the electorate, and it is this broad-minded sense of duty that has ever characterized his public labors that has made him so esteemed and valued a servant of the public generally." That the Orange county exhibit at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce excels any county exhibit he has seen in his travels is the declaration of James Vernon of Cleveland, O., who has written a letter to the board of supervisors praising the display. Vernon states that he has traveled in Europe, Asia, Africa and a large part of America and has not seen the equal of the Orange county exhibit. His letter follows: "Saturday my wife and I visited the C. of C. at Los Angeles and there saw the Orange-co exhibit. I think it my duty, and certainly it is a pleasure, to say to you that though I have never seen anything which in the material exhibited and especially in its selection, classification and general arrangement and after the introduction of Mr. and Mrs. William Hewings, managers of Saint Ann's Inn, and host and hostess of the evening, Senator William Alden Smith was presented. After the exchange of a few well directed shafts of humor, Senator Smith's remarks were of a more serious nature. He said that not only this country but the whole world from an economical standpoint was out of balance and that each step into the future must be taken with care and deliberation; that if our country was worth fighting and dying for, it was also worth thinking for. He called attention to the fact that the love of law and order still remained as fundamental, that there still prevailed the American home, and that Bolshevism and the seeds of anarchy had never gained a foothold under the stars and stripes. Senator Smith was emphatic in stating that if the markets of the U.S. were to be preserved for the U.S. they must be protected from the invasion of products from foreign soil and alien workmen and the only solution was a protective tariff. Senator Frank Flint spoke of the development of Santa Ana and especially the evolution of the hotels and the service rendered since the early days when he first became acquainted in Orange-co. He impressed the importance and the wisdom in building and furnishing such a beautiful hotel and stated more of them were needed. The address of the evening was given by Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, and soldom will the people of Orange-co be given, the opportunity to hear a man with such magnetic personality and gifted with such rare insight into the affairs and vital problems of our country and the world and who can transmit his thoughts in speech in such a comprehensive yet pleasing manner. Santa Ana has long felt the need of an excellent modern hotel and it has been through the efforts of C. of C. and the citizens that this need has been realized in Saint Ann's Inn. This hotel set in a semi-tropical garden of unusual beauty and modeled after the Old English Inn style of architecture, in addition to its parlors, rest rooms, dining room and kitchen, contains 75 outside guest rooms. Following is the menu served at the banquet and the program of the evening: Oyster Cocktail, Citroviene; Hearts of Celery; Queen and Ripe Olives; Cream of Artichoke Favorite; Medallion of Sole a la Joinville; Sorbert, Cardinal; Roast Young Turkey; Cranberry Jelly; Candied Sweet Potatoes; Del Monte Asparagus Tips; Ladies Delight Salad; St. Regis Dressing; Glace Plombier, St. Ann; Mignardiese; Friendiese; Cafe Noir.

I think it my duty, and certainly it is a pleasure, to say to you that though I have been in Europe, Asia and Africa I have never seen anything which in the material exhibited and especially in its selection, classification and general arrangement and evident care at all equals yours.

And so thanking you for the exhibit and the case and comfort in the way of seeing it, I remain most sincerely. "JAMES VERNON, "Cleveland, Ohio. Hampton Arms Hotel, "Los Angeles."

Perkins, a wealthy orchardist of Santa Ana, has purchased the odd sections owned by the Santa Fe Pacific railroad company in township 22 north, in the Sacramento valley north of what is known as Coyote Holes, near Kingman, Ariz. It is understood that Mr. Perkins intends to improve the lands at once by drilling wells on it and cultivating large acres. Another party of Orange-co men have been taken over the country near Kingman in the past few days to make personal investigation of the lands in this vicinity in their own behalf. So far they are well pleased with the outlook and it is probable that they will also interest themselves in several large tracts. Job Printing at The Plata Dealer.
