The double joys, when both are glad for both; Our only wealth, our last retreat and strength. Secure against all fortune and the world. BUSINESS CONDITIONS Running thru the irregularities of the moment in industry, trade and commerce are indications of a growing understanding of the fact that a following thru of the present period of readjustment is inevitable. says Guaranty Trust Co. of New York. It is conceivable that some unforeseen political event might suddenly interrupt the course of economic development and counteract completely the influences now making for stabilized conditions, but barring that, the acceptance of the present situation as a curative rather than a deteriorative process seems likely to become more general. Everywhere there are evidences of alertness in combination with carefulness. The whole attitude of business in the present circumstances in the antithesis of what it would be if a real slump existed. Then there would be indifference or despair instead of the cautious eagerness that characterizes the business world today. There would be a shifting of capital to other fields, a scrapping of plants and disorganization of working staffs. Instead of that we have demand for additional capital in the form of short-time loans to tide various concerns over into the period of certain recovery. We have plants continuing to operate despite the fact that there is but a slender market for their products. We have employers and employees considering new arrangements for their mutual protection and benefit despite the fact that the surplus of labor would make it possible for employers to take from labor all that the latter was able to gain because of war conditions. The explanation of such a situation seems to be that those who manage the productive and distributive agencies of the country realize that the underlying conditions are sound and will eventually assert themselves on the side of business revival. PELONY CRIMES ARE FEWER IN CALIFORNIA Those who have nursed the conviction that violations of law amounting to felonies have been increasing in this state in recent years will be surprised to learn that official figures, compiled by Attorney General Webb, showed a marked decrease in the number of felonies in the biennium, 1918 to 1920, as compared with the previous two years, 1916 to 1918. The decrease totaled 670 cases. This is quite gratifying indeed.

Los Angeles at Chestnut St. Anaheim Phone 31 Those who have nursed the conviction that violations of law amounting to felonies have been increasing in this state in recent years will be surprised to learn that official figures, compiled by Attorney General Webb, showed a marked decrease in the number of felonies in the biennium, 1918 to 1920, compared with the previous two years, 1916 to 1918. The decrease totaled 670 cases. This is quite gratifying indeed. Unlawful offenses of a felonious nature are a fair criterion of the prevalence of crime in the community. There are many minor offenses which are not really of a criminal nature—misdemeanors, which may call for arrest and light punishment, but which are not to be classed with murder, highway robbery, burglary, arson and the more serious crimes. It speaks well for the law-abiding character of the people of California and the efficiency of the agencies for the enforcement of law. CHINA'S TRAGIC PLIGHT EVOKES APPEAL President Harding has added his own official appeal to the numerousurgings that have been made to the American people to contribute generously to the aid of starving millions in China. President Harding terms China's distress "tragic," and it verily is. Whole provinces of that venerable land are scourged with object destitution. While liberal contributions have been made by Americans, yet there is urgent need of continuing the humanitarian giving. Appeals for causes of this kind do not go unheeded by the American people. The cry for help, as President Announcement The Automotive Electric Will Open for Business On March 22, 1921 234 South Los Angeles St As a First Class Battery and Electrical House The Automotive Electric Co.

Los Angeles St. ... Phone 155 ... Anahe THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA HARDING says, comes from a "people far distant, but linked to us by manifold ties of friendly association, confidence and good will." Friendship between the United States and China is traditional. The good feeling between them has been and is reciprocal. This cordial sympathy and mutual esteem give rest to the relief contributions that Americans are making for the rescue of unfortunate Chinese from starvation. WASTEFULNESS costs this country enormous total sums. THE MAN who escapes being elected president escapes a vast deal of trouble. THE "CRIME wave" should be followed by waves of anti-crime teaching and influence. THE BOMB of the assassin settles no question in politics, sociology or economics. PRESIDENT HARDING does not have to go to Florida to fish successfully for knotty problems. HOW OFTEN where men and women talk is pure English led like a lamb to an slaughter. UNCLE SAM is quite successful in inducing belligerent Central American republics to kiss and make up. INDUSTRY AND frugality are virtues that should be kept alive. This should not become a nation of idlers and spendthrifts. PRACTICE OF thrift is always in order. Reasonable economics do not curtail reasonable outlays for necessities and comforts of life. PRESIDENT HARDING is a man of Christian ideals. His utterances are replete with reverence for God and reliance upon divine guidance. This is a generous people. Tens of millions is given annually to philanthropy. The deserving cause rarely languishes for substantial aid. WITH ALL its groping, since the Armistice, Europe has not yet entered the fields of peace or become settled politically, socially or economically. The situation over there is sadly complicated, although not hopeless, by any means. By the same token, President Harding may win more than one victory on the golf links at Chevy Chase—that is, he may so reinvigorate himself, by healthful exercise, as to be able to carry through his plans and purposes. TRAGEDIES OF traffic continue to multiply in large centers of population. Need of solution of this vexing problem is quite pressing. The best that has been done falls short of what should be done. Too many lives are sacrificed in this way. THERE PROBABLY is a lad roaming around here in California—a boy who is all boy—who some day may be President of the United States. Ask any doting mother to name the boy and she can do it promptly. Of course it's her Willie! THE PRESIDENT should be vigorous in body and mind, to cope with the mighty problems before him. To this end he should have the regular hours of play which he craves and which every busy man of great responsibilities should have. SUIT FOR $785 FILED Suit to collect $783.76, with interest thereon at the rate of 8 pct. from Feb. 25, 1919, brot against the TriState Oil Co., by A. D. Bishop, of Orange, was placed on file in the county clerk's office today. The sum alleged due the plaintiff is said to represent the balance on a promissory note for $30,000 issued in Orange May 17, 1918.

"ORIGINAL HARDING men" who incidentally are seeking office are about as numerous as those who claim to be Mayflower descendants. THE ADVOCATE of revolution in this country is a dangerous person, engaged in fostering a spirit wholly foreign and repugnant to true Americanism. IT IS not the house of the strong man, who is well fortified, that the unscrupulous attacks; it is the abode of the weakling. Uncle Sam is determined to keep himself in the strongman class. CONSERVATION OF water should receive earnest attention of Californians along scientific lines. The enormous precipitation that runs off in floods and is wasted should be conserved to water the land and to provide power. IT IS said that the battle of Waterloo was won on the cricket fields of Eton—which is to say that the splendid British soldiery there engaged came into physical excellence, fitting them for victory, by their sturdy outdoor sports.
