OTHER STATES BEWARE The brain-child of the socialistic regime of the non-partisan league of North Dakota, like a modern Frankenstein, threatens to turn around and destroy its parent, with the institution of the recall by the anti-nonpartisans. The recall was placed on the statute books by the nonpartisans. It is now being used in seeking the removal of the governor of that afflicted state, the attorney general and the commissioner of labor and agriculture. The anti-nonpartisans declare the farmers of North Dakota cannot get adequate financial assistance for handling their crops until the bankers are assured that the socialistic regime is ended and that such assurance cannot be given until non-partisan league supporters and officials are removed from public office. The reformers who promised so much have moved on to fresh pastures and North Dakota citizens are paying the bill. THE RIGHT IDEA Normalcy is not a question of price or a question of wage. It is merely a question of fairly steady employment with the dollar buying as much as it ought to. Whether the farmer receives fifty cents or $8.50 for a bushel of wheat, or the workman receives $1 for a day's work, makes no difference so long as the bushel of wheat or day's work will obtain as much of the necessaries or comforts of life in one case as in the other. What we mean by normal times is steady employment as much as in the nature of things is permissible, paid for by a stabilized dollar. In normal times people do not live upon their savings, but the latter accumulate, and constitute the sole and only form of new wealth which can be created. It is this which flows into our undertakings and makes possible a healthy expansion in industry in supplying a sound demand — Pacific Banker. trant memory. Thomas Reed is the most recent one to inform Langley that he was in the battle, and was wounded therein. So, to make amends, Langley today announced that next April 6, which will be the anniversary of the battle, he will be host at a dinner that he will give to every Shiloh survivor living in Santh Ana. Letters From People Editor Plain Dealer: I would be pleased to have you publish the following letter to the Anaheim health department. A. A. MILLS. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, Health Officer. My Dear Sir:—In reference to our talk over the telephone this evening in which you suggested to me that my milk was already of such excellent quality as to come in the same class as "guaranteed milk," and near the "certified" class, it might be well for me to produce regularly certified milk. My milk is always of a high grade, yet regularly produce certified milk would require additional expense and such milk always sells at a higher price than Grade A milk. It would be feasible for me to do this could I get the necessary support from the milk consumers of Anaheim. As a matter of fact, however, some people, and many of them are Anaheim business men, will buy inferior milk from outside dairies rather than from an Anaheim dairy, even though the home milk comes within the "guaranteed class." As an illustration, I operate three motor driven machines in my business and pay to the Anaheim dealers between $200 and $300 per month for gasoline, oil and repairs on these machines. Yet several of the auto dealers and supply men buy inferior milk from outside dairies. So I feel that you will agree with me that the outlook is not very encouraging for putting out regularly certified milk.

LESS DRONES If education resulted in producing a population not one of whom would labor, it would be the greatest curse of mankind. There is increasing protest against the ever-growing appropriations for the higher institutions of learning and the neglect given education of men and women to become workers. Too many girls are trained up the silk-stocking and georgette crepe waist standards of living, who cannot darn their own stockings, cook a meal meal or make children's clothes. Dudes and dudettes mean national suicide. The Village Gossip. Entrance to the California Lima Bean Growers' association have of the following letter: "A tabulation of reports of stocks on hand in warehouses here early in April shows that, after deducting seed required for planting the small acreage that will be planted, there remained for marketing only about 200,000 bags of regular limas and about 125,000 bags of baby limas. "So Calif. can no longer hope for any substantial rainfall this season and for the third successive year we have received a total of about eight inches of rain over the lima bean producing districts as compared with 15 inches normal rainfall, so we are certainly facing another year of very short per acre production and a further large reduction in the total acreage planted. "With light stocks, low prices and very poor crop prospects, we have felt the lima bean market could not decline, but was certain to improve. However, we must confess that the situation has developed a bit like the attorney who, cailing upon a certain client in jail, advised him he could not be confined upon the charge made, when the client replied: 'May be so, but here I am in jail.' There has recently been a decline in the California bean market, evidently assisted by the lowering of the Mexican market. "Here is a limit to these downward plunges, and beans, like sugar, will move up again, and we think shortly. In the meantime current quotations range from $5.50 to $6.50. Coast upon choice recleaned interior milk from outside dairies rather than from an Anaheim dairy, even though the home milk comes within the "guaranteed class."

Yet several of the auto dealers and supply men buy interior milk outside dairier. So I feel that you will agree with me that the outlook is not very encouraging for putting out regularly certified milk. However, I thank you for the suggestion and should I find a demand for certified milk I surely would want to supply it. A. A. MILLS. SOLVE MYSTERY OF GUAM WOODEN LEG Hist! this is the story of the missing wooden leg of the island of Guam. You know Guam is close to the Island of Yap, and dark deeds may happen at any time. This one was covered up for some months, but it now has come to the official attention of Major J. C. Fegan of the Marine Corps recruiting headquarters at 320 Market street, San Francisco, and as the culprit is behind the bars, there is no longer need for concealment. So listen! It was nearly black under the Southern Cross at Guam. Suddenly there was a scream, the whistling of a machete, the dull impact of the blow, a sound of running feet, then all was still. Sergeant Richard Owens of the Marine Corps, ex-officio chief, came up on the run to the home of R. Bautista, respectable merchant, from whence the sounds came. There had been an attempt at robbery, but Bautista had ably defended his goal. He showed the blunt edge of the machete which had gmote the thug. But there was no sign of any blood, nor the victim. Owens shook his head. Here indeed was a mystery. "Hai ha!" he chortled like a real detective. "I have it! He's got a wooden leg!" He forthwith marshaled all the wooden legs of the Island, but all Guam's timber and under piling showed no marks or scars of midnight battle. Owens was puzzled. He read a story of Sherlock Holmes and then called his alps for whispered instructions. Thereafter Guam was sore. The police were getting rough, prodding people all the time with their sticks; it was time to put a stop to this. But they kept prodding and prodding—always in the call of the leg, until at last one copper's prod encountered a solid wall. It was the missing wooden leg. situation has developed a bit like the attorney who, cailing upon a certain client in jail, advised him he could not be confined upon the charge made, when the client replied: 'May be so, but here I am in jail.' There has recently been a decline in the California bean market, evidently assisted by the lowering of the Mexican market.

Coast, upon choice recleaned limas (No. 1 grade quoted slightly lower), and $4.75 to $5.00 on choice recleaned baby limas, according to quality and whether in straight or mitted cars." "Wire us when your trade is in the market for limas or baby limas. We can supply good grade and quality, which means satisfaction and great saving of trouble and possible loss for all concerned, and present prices should certainly be attractive." Karl Fisher, the only remaining bachelor on the Fullerton fire department, has a tough time of it. It was just one kick after another. Recently these columns recorded the feet that all of his henchpicked brothers had taken out their spines on him, forcing him to set each of them up to a banana special. Now they have gone farther and charged him with every conceivable crime that could be tacked onto a man, and have obtained a sentence of 25 years promotion against him. Be it added, however, that the sentence was obtained in a kangaroo court, and Mr. Fisher is really innocent. Ed Thwing, city marshell, acted as judge; Albert Launer, city attorney, presecuting attorney; and Hazel Smith as defending attorney; Dorothy as Clerk, and Harry Ashley as cloakiff. The retiremen were to be questioned as to their ability on a case of this kind.

Center St. Anaheim THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA PUBLIC TAKING TO BOLSA CHICA OFFER Again proving that when you offer (the public something unusual you will always win the public's confidence and interest. Harper & Davidson, owners of the Bolsa Chica Oil & Gas Syndicate, report very satisfactory sales during the first week of the selling campaign for this company. No stock in an oil venture, no leases, and none of the usual oil speculation offerings are being made by Harper & Davidson. Their unique plan is to sell 640 lots in a choice 50-acre tract of land in the Huntington Beach-Bolsa Chica district, and to sell with each lot the oil royalty right to 1-6th of all oil production by the Standard Oil Company, which owns the lease on this property. To sell the land, leased to Standard Oil Company, especially when this company is now approaching production depth with its great Standard Torrance well which will prove this territory, is unusual to say the least. This Torrance well is across the road, on property immediately adjacent to the Bolsa Chica Oil & Gas Syndicate's tract. George K. Nickerson, general sales manager for Harper & Davidson, says that sales so far have been very rapid: "I don't know when I have handled an oil proposition which appeals so much to the public," he says. "Undoubtedly the fact that a lot is conveyed to the purchaser which he or she owns forever, is one good feautre, for when any one takes an oil chance they like to feel that they will always have something to show for their money. And with this lot there is sold an oil royalty right to 1-6th of any Standard Oil Production on the property, the attractiveness of the investment is heightened to a great extent. This land was among the first tracts to be leased in this territory by Standard Oil company. Bonuses as high as $1000 an acre have been paid for later leases in this immediate district. Everything points to a wonderful future for the Bolsa Chica." BENJAMIN TALKS ON FOREIGN TRADE CORP An idea of the scope of the foreign Trade Financing Corp. now being formed is gained from the following interview today by H. H. Benjamin, cashier of the First National bank: The Foreign Trade Financing Corporation will deal with private enterprises in countries throughout the world where governments are in a sound condition. It may do business in some countries where governments are heavily in debt but where the individuals and corporations with which its business is transacted can advance satisfactory collateral and have the reputation for honest and fair dealings extending over many decades. The Corporation will be secured independent of governmental action, although in some instances it may require government guarantees. In no instance will it extend credits except under conditions where its management is satisfied that the security taken affords ample protection. The corporation will serve the banker primarily as it serves his customers. An important function of a bank is to develop production and distribution of commodities. A bank prosperes as business conditions in general prosper. As this corporation contributes its facilities to the entire nation, it will build up the prosperity of every section of the country. It will then make the position of the individual banks more favorable; it will serve the banks through providing supplemental machinery for the handling of foreign businesses. The customer who seeks to arrange a 12 months' credit covering a shipment to South America or the Far East cannot today be readily accommodated. When this corporation is ready for business, that customer can be accommodated. There are many ways in which the corporation and its bank stockholders can cooperate to mutual advantage, benefit and profit. The corporation will serve the American manufacturer by enabling him to maintain markets for his proIt was the partial closing of foreign markets to our products through the breakdown of credit machinery and the accumulation in the American granaries and warehouses that contributed to the difficulties of the farmer in the past year. This applies not only to grain and cotton, but to tobacco, meat products, condensed milk and other farm products. Our agricultural community has suffered to a greater degree during the past six months than during any similar time in a generation. The corporation will serve labor directly by providing, through the extension of credit, the means for labor's employment. It will contribute to the stabilization of wages. It is currently estimated that more than 4,000,000 persons in the country are out of work. These people come by the thousands from the mills, factories, shops and countless other industries in which there has been a closing down and retrenchment. The corporation will serve measurably to reopen the markets of the world for our products, for the making of which the American worker draws his wage. After all, everything we export is the product of work. Thus it will be appreciated to what extent the corporation will tend to give every man in the country work and keep him steadily at it. If business in genera one good feautre, for when any one takes an oil chance they like to feel that they will always have something to show for their money. And with this lof there is sold an oil royalty right to 1-8th of any Standard Oil Production on the property, the attractiveness of the investment is heightened to a great extent. This land was among the first tracts to be leased in this territory by Standard Oil company. Bonuses as high as $1000 an acre have been paid for inter leases in this immediate district. Everything points to a wonderful future for the Bolsa Chica home, for usually a big corporation like the Standard Oil does not invest such large sums of money as it has here unless it expects big dividends in return from oil production. "To let the people of Anaheim and vicinity see with their own eyes the property which they are purchasing, we have arranged special excursions to the tract, with a free lunch at noon, and a free tour of the great Huntington Beach field. These excursions leave the Crown stage Co.'s office and reservations may be made by phone." Mrs. Susan M. Dorsey, superintendent of schools, ill at home. Trails husband ten years.
