HISTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co; Per year, $2; six months, $1.25. Entered at the Postoffice at Anheim, Calif., as second class matter. DAILY GREETING TO READERS The lamp of genius, though by nature lit, If not protected, pruned and fed with care. Soon dies, or runs to waste with full glare. —Carlos Wilcox. FRIENDSHIP should be "fair and warm," like the usual weather forecast here in California. THE PRISON population of the country is decreasing. Who should worry because of this? THE WORLD would be better off if it did not keep the Golden Rule in moth-balls so much of the time. IT MAY as well be admitted that the eighteenth amendment does not foster the industry of sowing wild oats. UNCLE SAM does not intend to start in to sneeze every time Europe takes snuff. Let Europe wrestle, in its own way, with its own domestic difficulties. HAVING supplied the nation with a president and an important member of his cabinet, Ohio is fairly well suited with itself for the time being. CALIFORNIA should keep itself well advertised, and always should be emphasized the fact that there are many attractions, resources and advantages in this state besides climate and scenery. KAILROADS should run under street intersections, or overhead. There should be no crossings at grade in this country. They are and always will be deadly. The only official remedy is complete abolition. THE COLLINQUENCY of many a child is justly traceable and chargeable to neglect of parental duty in not giving the child proper training and restraint. Every child has a GREATER NAVY BUT IN THE SPIRIT OF PEACE The superdreadnaught Colorado, launched at Camden, N. J., will be a formidable addition to the strength of the United States navy. With conditions as they are, throughout the world, this nation not only is justified in building and equipping a mammoth navy, but it would be conscious in duty to itself and to the other nations and peoples holding to democratic ideals, if it did not keep itself prepared for any hostile emergency development. At launchings and in discussions of the naval power and policies of the United States, the point should be made clear that this country is proceeding wholly in a defensive spirit. It should be stressed before the world that this nation would very much prefer to expend its money upon more peaceful things than superdreadnaughts. It should be made manifest that the United States is not militaristic and that its ambition does not run, from choice, to vast navy and a huge army. It should be impressed upon all mankind that the United States would not wantonly harm any nation or people; that it has no intention to commit aggressions. The world should know, of a certainty, that there is no menace to universal peace in the fact that this country is augmenting its navy. For the United State sis ready and eager to join, in good faith, in limiting armaments and gradually to reduce them to minimum requirements for simple national or international police duty. EMERGENCY TARiff ACT IS PROJECTED President Harding, it seems, is to insist upon the re-enactment of the emergency tariff measure, known as the Fordney bill, as soon as practicable after the assembling of congress in extra session. This is contemplated for the relief, in particular, of the farming interests of the RELROADS should run under street intersections or overhead. There should be no crossings at grade in this country. They are and always will be deadly. The only direct remedy is complete abolition of the road. THE BELINQUENCY of many a child is just traceable and chargeable to neglect of parental duty in not giving the child proper training and restraint. Every child has a right to be trained in the way he should go. DON'T FORGET to put in a few good words for California every time you write anybody living in some other state. And don't reserve these boastful words for the postscript. Put them up near the beginning of your epistle. A GRIZZLY bear almost "got" General Hunter Liggett once with emphasis on the "almost." Being quicker of wit and action than this gigantic beast of the wilds, was indicative of those qualities in General Liggett which made him fit to command directly the greatest single army the United States ever had in action in war. UNCLE FAM not only is an easy task-master, but is an easy-mark it that the volume of work and the standard of efficiency in some of the government departments is far below the normal of industrial achievement in private life. This is prosecute fa reform in this, and an increase in efficiency in several of the departments. BECAUSE of the horrifying number of crossing tragedies in that ballistic, the authorities of the city of Cleveland and of Cuyahoga co., in which Cleveland is situated, are resolved to force railroads to abolish all grade crossings in that county. This will be required by tunneling or bridging every crossing. Railroads complain that they cannot afford the expense, but the authorities argue that they can. The grade crossing is a deadly nuisance everywhere, and should not be tolerated beyond a reasonable time allowed for its abolishment. THERE ARE comparatively few really bad boys. Judge Ben Lindsey, and many another, in juvenile court or social betterment work, have tested out so many boys who were given up by parents and others as hopelessly bad, and have found in these boys the living fountains of panliness and good principles. Then, it is true, were quiet fountains in them, pretty well filled with mud and slime, but capable of being drained out under kind, sympathetic influences. Let it be repeated, there are few boys who are hopelessly bad. If the incipient bad boy is taken in time and driven the proper influence and momentum and gradually to reduce them to minimum requirements for simple national or international police duty. EMERGENCY TARIFF ACT IS PROJECTED President Harding, it seems, is to insist upon the re-enactment of the emergency tariff measure, known as the Fordney bill, as soon as practicable after the assembling of congress in extra session. This is contemplated for the relief, in particular, of the farming interests of the country. Provisions of the measure are to be effective but a few months, and the passage of a permanent tariff act is expected within the months that this emergency measure would be in force and effect. It is generally agreed that the flight of the American farmer is so distressing and discouraging as to call for expedition relief measures. Protective duties are expected to aid greatly, although it is conceded that extreme care must be exercised not to provoke hurtful reprisals from countries whose products would be directly and seriously affected by American traiffs. The principle of reciprocity, it is realized, must have greater or lesser recognition in froming tariff bills. Such eminent exponents of tariff protection as James G. Blaine, William McKinley and William H.Taft advocated reciprocal arrangements. The earnest, lively insistence by agricultural interests that the greatest possible measure of legislative relief be given in a hurry probably will be needed by congress. NEED USEFUL SERVICE IN CO-OPERATIVE WAY "Co-operation is the word of the century," says Franklin K. Lane discussing the nation's economic status. Co-operation must be broader of application than merely to business and industry. It must comprehend and include the public service; social and industrial relations; education, and human uplift in general. Each must "have a heart" for the good of the other. Each must be willing to serve and to sacrifice, in reasonable measure, for all. There must be a bond of mutuality in all good service. The public official must be a real public servant. The public must appreciate and support the faithful public official. Each element of society must be tolerant and considerate toward other elements. There must be no caste in America. There should be no classes except those defined by God himself—the good and the evil. CONGRESS SUMMONED IN EXTRA SESSION President Harding's formal call for the extra session of congress has gone forth. The date for assembly is April 11, as was foreshadowed. Within less than two weeks the sitting that is destined to take place now. Springtime is a world of new sentence. It has fragrance orange and yellow valleys of the San Joaquin cherry and clara; it carries the California can like swift speed of the wides. It has iris, the mallea flame of tails with its golden fillets in the noon. The cast has California for its springtime has ever followed panorama of self over the advent of maiking a firm is no longer any him; no longer in an atmospheric drizzle where ignites its calls the summer is yet a chance to palette. And yet in scarce apprehension springtime will tor car. Here she Arabian nuke the possessor's path of the gods and fruit counties awaits. March scares the calendar be vacation time orist. And we have worn from the beautiful tropical joys of grand and sun Yosemite and trail of Robert Frank Moorris country where Harte stirred tays of gold, tays of moon oak of Ramona abru, what a waker making its playtime!

Center and Vest Street ABPLANALP Proprietor CONGRESS SUMMONED IN EXTRA SESSION President Harding's formal call for the extra session of congress has gone forth. The date for assembling is April 11, as was foreshadowed. Within less than two weeks the sitting that is destined to be historic will begin. Tarliff revision; overhauling taxes; devising of new sources of revenue; dealing with the formal ending of the war and the attitude the United States shall take toward the League of Nations—these are a few of the great problems which loom before this extra session. The people look expectantly to congress for great good and prompt war kin this extraordinary sitting. The way is clear for action. Congress must make its own record. History will convict it or acquit it; condemn it o rextol it according to the quality of work it does and the promptitude with which it acts on great pressing problems. VALIANT ARMY GENERAL BE-COMES RETIRED Retirement from the army of MdJ. Gen. Hunter Liggett, after forty-two years service, is an event of deep interest. Beginning his service on the then frontiers of the middle west General Liggett came into greatest prominence after America began its participation in the world war. His Forty-first division, overseas, expanded into a command which ultimately numbered 1,200,000 men, including five French divisions and more than 5000 guns. General Liggett had the honor of commanding the American forces which astonished the world by their smashing tactics in clearing the Argonne Forest and fighting on the advanced first line right up to the day of the armistice. Sick to his soul of the horrors of war, General Liggett has urged and still urges the promotion of peace by keeping his country thoroughly prepared for war, yet in mood to cultivate good will with all the world. It It's from Witman's, It's Good! THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA THE CALL OF THE OPEN R SPRING INTENSIFIES JOYS OF MOTORING BELIEVES IN EARLY COMING OF CHRIST "I believe in the second coming of Christ as the saviour of the soul and the healer of the body, and we believe in the practical application of the gospel," he continued. "We base our activities on the fourth chapter of Acts, verse 32 on the second chapter of Acts, from the forty-first verse." SPRING INTENSIFIES JOYS OF MOTORING Springtime in California! What a world of meaning in that brief sentence. It conveys to the mind the fragrance of the blossoms, the orange and the apricot and the peach from the mountain valleys of southern California, the cherry and plum from the Vaca valley and the valleys of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin, the almond and the cherry and peach from the Santa Clara; it carries with it the glory of the California wild-flowers as they run like swift messengers with "the speed of the wind up the mountainsides." It has in it the lure of the iris, the mallow and the lupin and the flame of the California poppy with its golden hue painting the hills in the north and south. The cast has enjoyed the winters in California for their mildness but little in them of the wintry cast; but the springtime—no eastern tourist has ever followed that wonderful panorama of color that spreads itself over the California hills with the advent of the spring without making a firm resolve that the coat is no longer a place of abode for him; no longer will he rest content in an atmosphere of blizzard and drizzle where the spring scarce recognizes its call and the drought of the summer is on before spring has yet a chance to use the colors of her palette. And yet in California one can scarcely appreciate the delight of the springtime without the gift of a motor car. Here is the magic carpet of the Arabian nights all ready to waft the possessor about the fragrant paths of the golden state where blooms and fruit and all of nature's bounties await his call. March scarcely has passed by on the calendar before the fever of the vacation time takes hold of the moorist. And what an insistent call has the wonderful out-of-doors! from the beauties of Shasta to the tropical joys of San Diego; from the grand and sublime panorama of Yosemite and the high Sierra to the trail of Robert Louis Stevenson and Frank Moorris; out in the Sierra country where the heroes of Bret Harte stirred the imaginations of the days of gold, the days of forty-nine; up in Jack London's peaceful valley of the moon or down in the haunts of Ramona about Camulous and Pru, what a wonderful opportunity for making the best out of life and its playtime! BELIEVES IN EARLY COMING OF CHRIST "I believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ. I believe He will be here soon and I believe we have been brought to Orange-co to establish the nucleus of His earthly kingdom—a kingdom over which He will rule 1000 years." Just as matter-of-fact as he might have replied to a question concerning the beets he was hoeing in his thriving vegetable garden, Thurman Howell, evangelist, made this statement of faith today. "The we" he used embraces seventeen persons, nine of whom are children, one his wife and another his mother. The pivot of the potential kingdom is about a mile cast at Buena Park, on Orangethorpe-ave. There is nothing hysterical about Thurman Howell. Tall, slender, probably about 40 years of age, he looks out upon the world through kindly, clear-visioned, bluish-gray eyes. "We have absolute faith in Jesus Christ as the saviour of the soul and the header of the body, and we believe in the practical application of the gospel," he continued. "We base our activities on the fourth chapter of Acts, verse 32 on the second chapter of Acts, from the forty-first verse to the end of the chapter; and on the sixteenth chapter of St. Mark, beginning with the fifteenth verse. "But more than all else is our unlimited faith in God's bountiful supply. Oursis is not the faith without works, however. We believe in work for everyone. We have no thought of sitting down in this vegetable patch for instance, and expecting the Lord to come and put food and money in our hands. "We have twenty acres here. We are renting the place from my father, Dr. H. H. Howell, but I believe the Lord will buy the place. It is pretty much run down now, but we will have it fixed up in fine shape before long if it is God's will that we establish the kingdom right here. "It is 14 years ago, now, that I was converted to God in the little Methodist church at Buena Park. For the past seven years I have been engaged in evangelist work throughout" A WELL BUILT BODY means everything to you as a car owner.

OPEN ROAD Monday, April 4, 1921 through Jesus Christ—to make all requests in Christ's name. Everything must be done in Christ's name. As the Bible says, 'There is no other name under Heaven whereby we may be saved." When asked to give the personnel of his community, Howell declared: "We believe in a personal devil and have to fight him. That it is going to be our hardest work here, to fight this personal devil. It would be wrong to give out the names of our people. It would give the devil too much advantage in attacking us." Asked whether he was using propaganda to attract people to his kingdom, Howell replied: "We believe God is just the same miracle-working God He has been always and we have faith that He will send people here to us. It will be hard for a lot of people to give up the idea of possession and come into the understanding that all is God's and that the people of the earth are merely His stewards. It will be hard for them to realize that if they will only enter the kingdom of God, all things will be added unto them. And, perhaps, it will be the hardest of all for them to learn to live practical Christianity, to learn to 'give', and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give unto your bosom,' as the Bible says. "But people will come. When they are ready to live the God-like life of this community, their steps will be directed here by the Father. Meanwhile there is an abundance of work here to do. We must all keep busy doing the Lord's work here on the farm." In conclusion Howell stated that the kingdom as outlined at present had not been given a specific name, but that it would be operated upon a community plan, all to share alike in its abundance, as provided by the Lord. "We always give thanks to God for the things we need, just the same as though we had them in hand. We are thankking Him now for another house. We have two now, but we need a third as we expect others soon," said the evangelist as he returned to the cultivation of his vegetable tables, quoting the twenty-sixth verse of the second chapter of the general epistle of James.
