DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The greatest tribute of heaven is mercy, And "is the crown of justice, and the glory; Where it may kill with right, to save with pity, —Beaumont and Fletcher. ABOUT THE hardest part of a presidential term is—getting started. THIS IS a time for the American people to think clearly and to speak and act temperately. THE AVERAGE American does not talk politics when he is sleep—that is, not unless he talks in his sleep. IT IS detrimental to all classes in this country to have class arrayed against class, in unreasoning bitterness. NEWS OF the world seems in complete without report as to the condition of Senor Villa's crop of corn and beans. UNCLE SAM, in other words, is determined that the island of Yap shall not become exclusively the island of the Jap. PRESIDENT OBREGON is doing more, with one hand, to pacify Mexico than his predecessors were able to do with two hands. THE PEOPLE of California well may pray for the legislature, and incidentally to pray for themselves as the legislature reconvenes. IN OTHER words, his critics insist that Judge Landis should not play on Uncle Sam's team and the baseball team both at the same time. THE PACIFIC west no longer is regarded, at Washington, as political outland. This section gets respectful consideration from the political "powers that be." TO BE a good conversationalist is a charming accomplishment. It may be nel of the cabinet. Then they will take up guessing as to how long the cabinet will last without a break. THIS IS the time of year when the Ohio river usually runs over and spreads from hill to hill. But it is gratifying to note that the big stream is not giving threats of a big freshet yet. ONE OF the worst besetments mankind has is fear. It weakens its victim both morally and physically, and it may be, mentally. It robs those possessed of it of their best powers and handicaps them in whatever they may undertake. MR. HARDING expects members of his cabinet to speak for themselves, and they all are to be held accountable for appointments, each in his separate department, and for the proper conducting of departmental business. This should be effectual and should relieve the president of much unnecessary strain. THE BASERALL season will open with conditions apparently reformed and promising an honest, straightforward game in all the circuits. The public is willing to wipe the slate clean. But those in the game must keep the slate clean, or public sentiment will turn against organized baseball. Patrons want honest baseball or none at all. WOMAN'S ENTRY into and conversancy with politics has robbed vain man of one of his proudest prerogatives—that is, going about, with wise look, condescendingly telling his women folk just what this, that or the other political move or issue means. The wisdom and knowledge of the up-to-date woman on these things are the despair of the conceited man. LIBERTY. EVEN in this land of the free, is not absolute.

And now her parents are wondering whether she is destined to be scarred for life as a result of having eaten about a spoonful of lye. Mavin White is her name, and she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray White of Yorba Linda. Mrs. White was preparing dinner. The little miss was crawling about the floor in the next room contentedly cooing and gurgling, just as becomes little ladies of her age. Suddenly Mrs. White heard a pitiful cry. Rushing to the little one, the mother saw the child in front of a closet door. Beside the tot was a can of lye. Almost hysterical, the mother summoned a physician and soon little Miss White was out of danger. The little one's lips and the interior of her mouth were badly burned. Hopes are held out that the tot will not be permanently disfigured. PRESS SUPPORTS OLIVE DAY The Plain Dealer: On behalf of the olive industry of California, I want to express my very sincere appreciation of the loyal support given by the press of California, to the campaign for California Ripe Olive Day. This campaign was very successful and I believe, will mark a long step toward the rehabilitation of the California olive industry to success. Its success was due to the support that the news papers of California gave to the movement. As the "Fourth Estate" said, "California has as much reason to be proud of its news papers as it has of its climate or to other resources." Let me express to you my own personal appreciation for your assistance as well as that of the olive growers and olive packers of the State. Sincerely yours, GEORGE C. MANSFIELD, Director of Publicity.

HARBOR Operation of a line of steamers owned or chartered by the California Fruit Growers' exchange for transportation of a portion of the citrus crop of So. Calif. to Atlantic coast ports is not only feasible but is certain of accomplishment in the very near future. In the opinion of local men prominent in the citrus industry. They gave hearty and enthusiastic endorsement today to the suggestion that organization of a steamship line should be made by citrus interests. Newport harbor is conceded to be the logical point for the home port of a fleet of steamers devoted to carrying citrus fruits, if the channel is developed sufficiently to permit the operation of boats drawing as much water as will steamers employed in such service. Newport is more available to the citrus growers of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and the truck haul would be shorter than to San Pedro, said the men interviewed today. The advantages of quick service at Newport would make the port attractive to other districts. There would be less traffic congestion and this would materially facilitate the loading of ships, causing the growers little or no loss of time in unloading trucks, it is pointed out. The three counties named produce more than 50 per cent of the oranges and 40 per cent of the lemons grown in So. Calif. it is estimated. According to estimates, the associations will handle a total of 39,500 cars of orange this season. Of that number the three counties are credited with 19,700 cars. The lemon crop will run about 8700 cars, with the three counties credited with producing 2760. A feature is developing with agitation for a citrus ship line is the inclusion of other growers' organizations in a big plan for operating a line of steamers. It has been suggested that the raisin, walnut, bean and other associations of growers cooperate in the institution of a clares Cashier H. H. Benjamin of the First National bank. E. Zitzmann, cashier of the American Savings bank, operated in connection with the First National, based on hands today approximately $100,000 in permanent Fourth Liberty bonds which have been issued upon temporary bonds owned by Anaheim people. Zitzmann urges that owners of the bonds call and get them. He believes there are many other people still holding temporary bonds in the community. If they will leave them with him, taking a receipt, he will have them exchanged at the federal reserve bank without any charge for the convenience. ANAHEIM TEAMS IN TOURNEY FRI.

Q. R. STORE Fashion has outdone herself this spring in offering the widest collection of styles and materials. Frocks fashioned on the low waist fine are given the lead, and mostly have with them a charming circular skirt effect and drape in a novel manner. This mode is decidedly quaint, the bodice is often a semi-fitted basque tied at the sides or back. The MRI-Europe tendency is emphasized in the trimming of rich embroidery beads and braids. The favored materials are Taffetas, Kittens ear crepe, charmeuse and the popular new Canton crepe. The box coat suit is considered good although the plain tailored suit holds its own; often elaborately embroidered jacket is rather shorter than usual. Eton models are not without admirers and may become quite favorite. Three-quarter crepe coats and "wrappy" coats are a distinctive and a very sensible, comfortable coat, especially for motoring is developed of soft new woolens. The short sport coat follows closely as a leader for the season. The overblouse is with us again and you'll find these in fine and heavier materials such as georgette and crepe de chine in beautiful combinations of the new shades elaborately trimmed in beads and embroidery. The sport skirts are mostly pleated or a combination of pleats and panels and are fashioned of the new materials—tally-ho, "moon-glo" and barronette satins. Dresses for little folks and juniors in organdles and silks are decidedly cute in fluffy ruffled effects, some of the models have hats to match. Paris absolutely dictates the footwear fashion this year. Sabot and sandal types in pumps with various styles of strap fastenings are in the lead. Grey and brown suede and black satin have a strong vogue. Sport oxfordes with much embellishment of perforations in brown and in combinations of black and white are in demand for walking shoes. A feature that is developing with agitation for a citrus ship line is the inclusion of other growers' organizations in a big plan for operating a line of steamers. It has been suggested that the raisin, walnut, bean and other associations of growers cooperate in the institution of a line. It is believed the cooperation of several such associations of growers will be necessary to make a shipline project feasible. No one crop is sufficient to supply boats in the service with sufficient tonnage to keep them in operation all the time. It is said. "The California Fruit exchange has a committee at work now in making investigations as to costs of steamships with a view to submitting a report to the exchange directors in the immediate future," said L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange today. "The committee is gathering data as to the cost of boats of various sizes, cost of operation, probable tonnage, time they will be laid up, probable repairs, and other features that will enter into operation of a line. "It is a big project and will cost around $10,000,000 to initiate. Personally I believe that such a move can be made a big success only with the cooperation of growers of other products of the state." This would insure greater tonnage and full cargoes would be made possible by shipment of various kinds of products at one time. With all growers of the state cooperating they would create such an interest among business men of the state that in time the latter would co-operate with them in the development of cargoes for the return trip from the Atlantic coast. This would offer possible opportunity for operating the line the year round and would greatly reduce the costs, as against what the costs would be with the citrus industry only handling the line. It is possible that new boats would have to be built, especially designed for citrus fruit shipment. With boats of today there is very little space for refrigeration, and refrigeration is necessary in the shipment of oranges by water. This would necessitate the erection of a pre-cooling plant at the home port. Newport, in my opinion, would make a fine home port for a fleet of association owned steamers, but that, of course, would depend upon whether or not the channel would be sufficient to admit the entrance of big ocean-goining vessels. It is believed the average boat that would be in such service would be around 7500 tons. I don't know what a ship of that size would draw. There is no doubt that associations of growers of all kinds of produce to estimates, will handle a total of 39,500 cars of oranges this season. Of that number the three counties are credited with 19,700 cars. The lemon crop will run about 8700 cars, with the three counties credited with producing 2760.

A correspondent writes following to the Daily Gazette-Times of Corvallis, Ore.,: "The trip from L. A. to this city (San Diego) is one of the best stretches from San Francisco to the border, through a wonderfully developed country in which the orange, lemon and walnut groves predominate. For 50 miles at least, there isn't a break in the orchards, all in perfect cultivation and bearing heavily in fruit. The paved highway is a black ribbon thru a sea yellow and green, or shaded by the palm, eucalyptus and poplar. "I wish every Corvalliste could catch a glimpse of Anaheim, a town at 6000 and by far the cleanest and prettiest of them all down this way. The town's business buildings are attractive in appearance; they make much of fine windows, the streets very wide and splendidly paved and everything is as clean as a pin. This is a town also of charming houses; some expensive and others of the bungalow type;the latter particularly pleasing because of their real architecture. "Santa Ana isn't a bad looker—and the amazing thing is that they have here everywhere lawns that are indeed lovely to look upon. That in this country is at a premium, but there will be entire streets without a single unkept lawn—and this far rare beauty. I have noticed also that one soldom sees any vacant lot full of tall and dead grass.Instead this is kept burned away.Inquiry revealed the fact that this is absolutely necessary in this country because of the fire risk,and is required by law. This also helps the appearanceof things tremendously." CHAIN GANG TERROR OF "WEARY WILLIE" "Wandering Willies" and "Gentlemen Hoboes" are apparently making detours in order to avoid Orange county. A scarcity of vagrants in these parts during the last month or six weeks has been noted by the authorities.According to officials,the Orange-co chain gang is responsible for the cleanup.A crew of county prisoners are now working on roadways in CHAIN GANG TERROR OF "WEARY WILLIE" "This would necessitate the erection of a pre-cooling plant at the home port.

It is believed the average boat that would be in such service would be around 7500 tons. I don't know what a ship of that size would draw. There is no doubt that associations of growers of all kinds of produce are being throttled down by the present high freight rates. Water transportation is the coming solution of the problem of high freight rates, and, in my opinion, development of this method of getting crops to Eastern markets is certain." "Organization of a steamship line by the citrus interests would prove the salvation of the industry," said E. B. Collier, manager of the Central Lemon association at Ville Park in speaking of the lemon situation. "We must utilize water transportation to get our fruit to the Atlantic seaboard. Thirty per cent of the lemons that are shipped go to the Atlantic coast and the same proportion obtains in orange shipments. "It is possible that this percentage can be increased, with the fruit being landed at Eastern water points and distributed from such points to the interior with no greater costs than by shipment direct by rail. Newport harbor is the logical point for a fleet of steamers, particularly for the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino. The difference in the distance between Newport and San Pedro from points in other of the citrus sections is negligible and once the fruit is loaded on trucks the time difference would be more than offset by advantages that would offer at Newport in the matter of less traffic congestion." Anaheim People Holding Onto Liberty Bonds People of other communities may have squandered their Liberty bonds sacrificing them at a discount, but not so the people of Anaheim, de- ORIGINATION OF THINGS COINS When gold and silver were first used as mediums of exchange, certain weights of these metals had standard value. This necessitated weighing each time a purchase was made. The Lydians, an antique people, are credited with the idea of making standard weights of gold and silver so as to avoid the weighing process. Those weights were stamped with their value and some mark, usually the portrait of the ruler of the country. FILE-CUTTING MACHINERY Though the operation of making teeth on a file with a chisel would seem to be especially adapted for machinery, it took years of experiment and careful work before a practical machine was made. Duvesger, in 1699, made the first file-cutting machine but the hand-made file continued to be better till 1865, when W. T. Nicholson, of Providence, R.I., made a practical and successful machine.
