DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Oh! life is a waste of wearsome hours Which seldom the rose of enjoyment adorns; And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers Is always the first to be touched by the thorns. Moore. WOODROW WILSON GOING INTO PRIVATE LIFE Woodrow Wilson now becomes a private citizen. He retires perhaps for all time from public position. His countrymen and his sincere admirers throughout the world trust, however, that he may be spared to many years of vigorous literary work, to embellish and add priceless riches to the world's fund of historical knowledge of the great war and the dramatic crises to which it gave rise. Woodrow Wilson will rank as one of the truly great men of modern times. He goes out of office much criticized from many quarters. His has been the fate common to vigorous-minded men who have occupied the Presidency. Much of the criticism now heard and recently uttered will dissolve away in the clearer light of subsequent days, when political rancors and wartime animosities cease to obscure his great works and when his character, his inspiring utterances and his truly remarkable achievements as President, both in the domestic sphere before the World War and in the international arena on and after the fateful year 1914, become better understood and more justly appreciated. That Mr. Wilson has made serious mistakes of judgment even his friends are willing to concede. But history will abide him, doubtless, of much of the blame that enemies—some of them truulent—have heaped upon him. Mr. Wilson, after many years in successful educational and literary work and after a notable experience as governor of New Jersey, came into the Presidency in 1912 and proceeded to effectuate, through his remarkable influence with Congress, an astonishing array of important legislation, including the memorable law creating the federal reserve bank system. His first term was marked by achievements in the field of domestic legislation which will stand out in the Nation's history. His second term was marked by America's entrance into participation in, and in conjunction with the Allies, the successful waging of the World War, and by subsequent efforts to effect peace and to create and establish a League of Nations. Mr. Wilson's dramatic part in these stirring events and crises is familiar to all. Despite the mistakes in judgment and in methods which his critics ascribe to him, Mr. Wilson, it must be admitted, put his whole soul, his whole physical power, his concentrated mental vigor, into his efforts. He easily was the leading world figure throughout the tumultuous days immediately preceding and after the Armistice, up to his pathetic breakdown in health. Mr. Wilson's career, his policies and his achievements and attempted achievements have been too momentous, to complex, too great in essence, to be judged offhand. This appraisal belongs to the impartial historian. An unbiased history will deal kindly and appreciatively with Mr. Wilson and will rank him—and justly so—as among the most illustrious men of modern times. DR. G. A.

WAR LAWS BEGUN INGRESS ration of the short and in its last was adopted by place among the commercial nations of the world. ABSOLUTE disarmament for the world cannot reasonably be hoped for at present. But limitation of armaments, by international agreements, made in good faith, is a reasonable hope, and the United States should be in the lead in proposing and urging this. IT IS to be hoped that the Harding administration will start off with a little political partisanship as possible. An era of broad Americanism is needed, with harmony among all classes and hearty co-operation in rehabilitating the country, economically, and in bringing the forward march of progress into normal step. The Village Gossip "Bring up a boy in the way he should go and when he is older he'll go it." Such is the opinion of Thomas Johnson, superintendent of the county's new Parental Home for Delinquent boys, which adjoints the sheriff's office. Johnson now has three boys under his supervision. A fourth, who is afflicted with a nervous disorder, was recently allowed to go to his home at Brea for a few days. but is to be returned to the delinquent home later. The boys now in the institution register from Brea, Delhi and El Modena. "These boys are not really bad," said Johnson today. "They simply have not been given the proper home training. It seems to me their parents alone are to blame for their shortcomings. The boys have simply been given too much rope and allowed to run wild." Johnson says he believes that after a few weeks under his care the boys can be allowed to return to their homes on probation. He says that he warned them in the beginning that he would not tolerate any mischevious pranks. All of the boys are on their honor, and, according to Johnson, none of them have made 400 feet deep. There is no change in the management, and William Detha remains in charge. Huntington Central Oil Co., well on the Gothard community is still cemented at 1887 feet. Record time is being made on No. 1, Heaston lease. In five 1400 feet had been drilled. The is being done by the Orange Drilling Co. Venture Oil Co. — The drill has been broken down and the equipment moved away from the on the Ed Russell lease. Traction and the cement will probably drilled out with standard tools which the well will be drilled. There is nothing new at the Clark lease, and it is until when there will be. Bell of Montebello Oil Co., well southeast of the Holly factory, which was started some ago with cable tools, and while held up for about three with a fishing job, is reported 170 feet deep. The tools were covered. It is expected that this rig and the well drilled usual manner. Eddystone Oil Co. — The well drilled on Tract 75, owned by Ashton on Ashteon, is drill hard sand at 2835 feet with good showing of oil, and a light cation of gas, in brown shale. State Consolidated Oil Co., work of bringing in the well J. B. Dabney lease, east of Red Hill, is in progress. This well feet deep, and was cemented at there being up to 188 feet of the oil string, much less than other wells brought in in this but considered ample for a run of 300 to 1000 barrels. Vista Del Mar Oil Co. — The been no progress at the well Shoemaker community lease, dianapolis and Hampshire, week owing to a loss bit in the well on the Henry R. lease has not been spudded in. Sun Oil Co. — The derrick has completed on block 1501. Viar Mar tract, having been built by Whiston, the rig builder, wholly purchased four lots opposing Huntington Beach Nursery station and office Mr. News of Oil Fields (Huntington Beach Field) Union Oil Co. — There particular change in conditions at he well on he W. T. Netwain lease, the formation being a continuation of brown shale, such as has been drilled thr for about 1500 feet. The well is now among the deep wells of California, being about 4600. There is an abundance of "farmers' oil" in the trough at this well, but the genuine is conspicuous by its absence. There has been some talk about the progress being slow, but when the depth of the hole is considered, Supt. K. A. Hoxey is to be congratulated upon the work up to date, as the comparative progress is considerably above the field average. The well on the Dillingno tract, southeast of Bola Chica No. 1, was about 2600 feet deep Thursday morning, in hard sand, but no showing worth mentioning. Petroleum Midway Co., Ltd. — A string of 10 1-2 inch casing was set in the well on the Ray Walker community lease, at Pine and Utica-sts at 2280 feet. This is 190 feet deeper than where the Milley-Keck well was cemented, and 393 feet deeper than the Huntington Central. The well on the Hottel tract, north-east of the reservoir, on Columbia lease No. 3, is being bailed, making a fine showing. This well was cemented at 2835 feet, 47 feet shallower than the State Consolidated well on the south, which reverses the prevailing conditions of the field, as in sections the wells on the north are all deeper. However, this may be accounted for by the fact that some of the oil-bearing strata may have been passed in the State well, which appears quite probable at this time, as the bailing process shows equally as good showcasing as good showings as those prevailing in the balling period at the State well. The well on the Vollmer-Meyers lease is drilling in hard sand at near 2000 feet, and on the Warner tract, east of Reservoir Hill, Columbia lease No. 1, 1500 feet, in hard blue shale. Amalgamated Oil Co. — Prepara Port Dredging Now Over Half Completed A total of 1,285,894 cubic yards of silt had been removed from the Newport harbor channels in the ten months ending Feb. 2, at a cost to the county of $160,250.98. It was disclosed at the monthly report of the Orange-co Harbor commission, just made, public by Chairman L. Shaw of Santa Ana. The work already done represents 51.4 per cent of the dredging contract, leaving more than a million cubic yards of silt yet to be removed from the upper end of the county channel and from the harbor entrance, which will be dredged to a depth of 20 feet at low tide. The dredger is now working on the upper channel and when the work there is completed, probably about June 1, the dredger will be returned to the entrance for the finishing touches there. The yardage of silt removed each month since the beginning of operations is as follows: Month ending May 20, 1920, 106,820 yards; June 20, 140,552; July 20, 184,306; August 29, 195,975; September 20, 112,595; October 20, 26,609; November 20, 123,124; December 20, 145,670; January 20, 1921, 123,743; February 20, 126,-500; total, 1,285,894 cubic yards. This material was largely used in raising the grade of adjoining frontage and the surplus was pumped across the sandspit and has provided Balboa with probably the widest beach in So.
