President and Mrs. Harding into the White House it has been the practice of the Appropriations Committee to decide for the purchase of furniture for the private apartments of President and his family. But, of an example for Government economy, President and Mrs. Harding have no intention of using a congressional appropriation for furnishing these apartments. Instead the furniture will come from their own Marion and Washington homes. Give the average American earner an opportunity of furnishing a home lavishly with oriental rugs, mabogany furniture, beautiful paintings and costly draperies and he will take it even though he may know that the funds, making this purchase possible and coming out of the public treasury, will work a hardship upon the country's taxpayers. It is a difficult task to show the average earner that in the conduct of his own affairs and in the disbursement of his own earnings he should practice thrift and economy. Economy, like charity, should begin at home. It is easy enough to straddle a neighbor's fence and talk loudly and vigorously about plans and programs that if followed out by the other fellow would improve conditions but the real job is for individuals themselves to begin a program or economy and thrift at home. The United States Treasury Department, in carrying on the Savings movement, is endeavoring to impress upon the mind of every American earner desiring sound advice the advisability of beginning a program of thrift and economy in their own personal affairs. It urges that every earner make a budget and in it make allowance for regular saving and sound investment. It urges that whenever any individual makes an appropriation out of his own funds and for his own needs, he use the judgment of President and Mrs. Harding when they, appreciating the necessity of a program of economy in putting the business of our country back to normal, decided it unwise to spend the funds commonly and Eastern Europe. This gigantic production campaign is undertaken to supplement the child feeding operations of the European Relief Council. Mr. Hoover's statement is as follows: "In understand that the American Red Cross in connection with its general child welfare program is planning to undertake thru its volunteer service in the U.S. the production of certain essential garments to cloth hundreds of thousands of the underdied children of Europe. This is indeed a splendid and most essential service. The children as well as the adult population of Central and Eastern Europe in particular, are daily suffering from exposure and from the diseases that follow in the wake of an underdied condition. The slow economic recuperation of these districts makes it almost impossible for this governments concerned to care adequately for this pressing need of their population and whatever America can do to alleviate this condition will be but another splendid example of her desire to relieve real suffering wherever it may be found." Comment By Others WHAT OF THE MOVIES? (Reprinted from American by the Columbia.) "A good intention is an excellent quality in a legislator. But something more is needed. Nothing can supply for a lack of common sense. Individuals whose intentions are most laudable are now proposing to check the evils of the movie-picture trade by laws which, equivalently, ball all offenders in oil. This procedure would undoubtedly solve the particular offender, but it would not solve the question, 'what shall we do with the movies?' One may sympathize with the indignation directed by good men against the traffic in improper pictures, without concurring in the wisdom of their plans to remove the evil. That some censorship is shown by present disgraceful conditions in the trade. But the precise difficulty is to fix upon a censorship which will protect the community from improper productions, without using methods which are either unconstitutional or gravely misused."

That every earner may begin saving at home, special Savings Securities have been issued by United States Treasury Department. These securities, from the 25 cent thrift stamp to the $1000 treasury savings certificate, are the best in the world. Talk with your post master about them. HOOVER APPROVES PLAN Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, chairman of the European Relief Council, has expressed his appreciation of the plan of the American Red Cross to produce thru the volunteer workers in its chapters turnout the country a rainminum of 2,250,000 children's garments and layettes for the needy children of Central America. This procedure would undoubtedly solve the particular offender, but it would not solve the question, what shall we do with the movies? One may sympathize with the indignation directed by good men against the traffic in improper pictures, without concurring in the wisdom of their plans to remove the evil. That some censorship is shown by present disgraceful conditions in the trade. But the precise difficulty is to fix upon a censorship which will protect the community from improper productions, without using methods which are either unconstitutional or gravely unjust. "What the manufacturers resent most keenly is the 'pre-release censorship.' This means that before leaving the factory the film is reviewed by censors who decide whether or not it can be shown to the public. The manufacturers maintain this kind of censorship is practically a violation of the 'freedom to speak in print' clause of the various state constitutions. This point is well taken. The author of a book is not required to submit his manuscript to state censors; nor the publisher of a newspaper. Nor is a speaker compelled to supply the police with an outline of what he intends to say. But all, should they offend against the peace, are to be held responsible, and cannot plead the constitutional guarantee in defense. The moving picture manufacturers argue that they should not be put under a censor."

It has much force, none of which will be lost in its presentation before the courts. An indignant community might compel the pre-release censorship, but the constitutionality of this procedure is at least doubtful. Possibly the manufacturers might be induced to accept voluntarily what they will fight to impose by law. There is no doubt that millions of fathers and mothers, resenting the outrageous lengths to which even prominent producers have gone, are preparing to put their resentment into a form which the trade cannot escape without heavy financial losses. After all, no real reform can be secured without the co-operation of the manufacturer and exhibitor. In view of the present state of public opinion, the trade might be led to understand that 'voluntary' submission to local pre-release censorship is a wise policy. The public will no longer accept promises. What it now demands is some sign of the trade's intention to clean its house and keep it clean. "Full co-operation with local censorship is the best indication of reform. The exhibitors have their financial interests at heart and will also co-operate with the local authorities to secure the prompt arrest and conviction of the harpies who may be found among them. History is a series of repetitions. The fact that the moving-picture industry represents a huge financial expenditure should induce no false sense of-security. The trade in whiskey also involved a capital of millions, but the lawless saloons killed it. The lawless element will also kill the picture trade. The respectable men in the business must at once take the lead in suppressing the moving pictures' continued attacks on public morality. If they do not a day of disastrous reckoning is at hand."—America. The Village Gossip Draw nigh and list to the tale of Bill Hart, as it reached Santa Ana from Sacramento today.

MAKES STUDY OF CITRUS BLAST Results of investigations of citrus blast made recently by Professor H. S. Fawcett of the citrus experiment station of the Univ., of Calif., and by Mr. A. P. Camp, graduate student of the university, are contained in a statement issued today. "Citrus blast is a winter disease of citrus trees in the more rainy portion of California. Many leaves and twigs are killed by a severe outbreak so that trees are sometimes considerably injured. Studies made here recently show that the same bacteria which cause black pit of lemons in So. Calif., cause both black pit and blast in No. Calif. Black pit has been known in So. Calif., as a rare disease for oven ten years as that dangerous development of blast probably will not occur there. "Blast develops only in injuries such as breaks in the leaf or thorn pricks and especially those made at the time of a storm with heavy rain. This explains why protection by a windbreak on the south protects also from blast to a considerably extent. This suggests that windbreaks should be planted in orchards liable to blast attack. It is fortunate in this connection, that the olive is prized in No. Calif., and it promises to be suitable for the purpose of sheltering oranges from the southerly storms. "Spraying the trees with Bordeaux mixture has very considerably reduced the amount of citrus blast where the applications were made early, preferably between Oct. 15 and Nov. 1. Later spraying has not been of much value. Since Bordeaux spots the fruit, a first spray of ammonia copper carbonate may be given and a spray of Bordeaux as soon as the fruit is picked. It is believed that the studies described will be of very great value to the citrus industry of No. Calif., because in some localities citrus blast had become severe enough to reduce the vitality of the trees to a point where they would not be profitable."

As pants the hart for cooling streams, so Bill Hart panted for revenge. But let's not get ahead of the yarn. The Bill Hart mentioned herein is not the screen demon. Reference is made to Captain Bill Hart, world war veteran and patriot from Orange. Perhaps Captain Bill's plight of the other night was an exhibition of nerve; perhaps it wasn't. Anyway, Captain Bill Hart oiled up his machine and invited Jim Bishop, the peppery young lawmith from San Diego, to poke a hole through the balmy ozone in and around Sacramento. The spin ended at the Hotel Travelers. It appears that Captain Bill voiced a desire to park his car in the nearest garage for the night. It further appears that Bill Hanlon, bashaw of the hotel, stepped forth as the obliging kid. "There's a first-class garage right across the street." Bill pointed out. "Just drive right in." Captain Bill hopped into his flivver and whisked across the street. "A nice, clean garage, I call it," Captain Bill commented. Captain Bill tooled his auto into the broad, open doorway, stopped it with a jerk and hopped out. And then came the bawlout. "Back that blankety-blank tin lizard out here, or I'll have you pinched." Bellowed: a large, two-fisted fellow. It was only too true. Captain Bill had driven his flivver into the Fifth-st fire station on the theory that it was a garage. Captain Bill found a real garage later, and then went on a still hunt for Bill Hanlon. But Bill kept under cover until the Orange man was thorny cooled out. Bill tells the story on himself. Whatever other crops may be, the rat crop is bountiful, too bountiful. Weather conditions, or failure of terriers and house cats to do their duty—something has caused the rat tribe to increase with unseemly ease this winter. "We have sold more rat traps in the past four months than we have sold in all the years we have been in business," said a hardware man today. Evidently those who have rats in their garrets and cellars are using practical methods of getting rid of them. The use of poison has proven disastrous in a number of instances. There are poisons that are supposed to give the dying rat a terrible thirst, and to cause him to rush forth from the house in which he is domiciled, in search of water. He is supposed to get out in the open air and there do his dying. It seems that occasionally he fails to find water soon as the fruit is picked. It is believed that the studies described will be of very great value to the citrus industry of No. Calif., because in some localities citrus blast had become severe enough to reduce the vitality of the trees to a point where they would not be profitable."

CYPRESS CENTER IN FAVOR OF DRAINAGE Cypress farm center members Thursday night voted unanimously to approve the plan for a drainage district of 6000 acres near Cypress, to be put in at the costs outlined, in a report given at the meeting by Engineer R. L. Lauks. The report is to have a public hearing before the board of supervisors May 10, when opponents of the plan, if there are any, will be heard. The figures given by Laucks entailed an average cost of $49 an acre for the proposed work. This is considered very reasonable. W. K. Hillyard of the county engineer's office told of drainage plans and work in other sections, giving much information on the subject to the farm center members. A committee was appointed by S. H. Howman, president of the center, to make plans for the center's activities in the farm bureau picnic May 14. The center plans to exhibit the pig club animals at the county park on the day of the picnic.
