Time will tame the wayward will; But the heart in friendship cheated. Throbs with woe's most maddening thrill. Byron. Swat the fly by keeping your palm clean. To stay one fly now is to prevent the matching of a vast multitude of the little pests later in the season. The Monroe Doctrine is not dead nor is it speeling. The U.S. is keeping it alive and awake. Rigid exclusion of undesirable, dangerous aliens from this country should be the settled policy of the U.S. California's natural resources are of value beyond computation. Steadily and surely development of these resources proceeds. Bick in flowers or shrubs in the light little corners of your lawn or yard. It is so easy to have picturesqueness and beauty, here in California. Where there's a will, there are cunning lawyers ready to undertake to break it. Hence, where there's a will there usually is a way to set it aside. If this country sows the wind by permitting violently radical, dangerous foreigners to land on American shores, it must reap the whirlwind of crime, and violence which naturally results. Washington and Bolivar are two names fit to be coupled together — both great Americans—both unselfishly devoted to the cause of Freedom. The American hen is outdoing herself in clapping. Egg production is greater than it ever was before. But this feast for the consumer is in the nature of a ramine for the producer. Its large size failing to very low prices. Of great interest to this section is announcement that the U.S. navy is to undertake to negotiate this Pacific ocean by airship within a few months. millions of flies will be repented. Exceedingly trite is the urging, in this that and the other locality, to swat the fly. But the advice is excellent nevertheless. The fly is a nuisance to health and the roof of comfort and cleanliness. Ifvery locality in the county worked concertedly and systematically for the extirpation of this pest, this soon would become a flyless country. But this "if" blocks the way. In very few places is the fly tough with system and effectiveness. CABINET IS EN RAPPORT WITH PRESIDENT President Harding, Washington reports indicate, is mightily pleased with the harmony that prevails in his cabinet. From Merrys, Hughes and Hoover, in particular, he is receiving masterly aid, and there has been no clashing of opinions at the meetings. Cabinet members do not all think alike, of course, on every subject. But they exchange opinions and discuss the differing viewpoints with evenness of temper, much as a family circle might talk over varied affairs affecting the household. There are strong minds in the cabinet and positive thinkers. But none of the foolish "pride of opinion" has cropped out. This cabinet unity, it is to be hoped, may continue throughout Mr. Harding's term. It should be possible for a body of advisers to discuss the varied problems of government and divers proposed policies without losing temper and without developing obstinacy of opinion. SOUTH DAKOTA'S NAME MAY BE ROOSEVELT South Dakotaans have launched a movement to change the name of their state. They would call it Roosevelt. This would be a manifest improvement. With two states of the same name, but with "North" and "South" prefixes, the situation is more or less confusing to the people. It would be better, it would seem, to have but one Dakota. Should a change be made in the name of South Dakota nothing more appropriate could be chosen than Roosevelt.

The American hen is outdoing herself in laying Egg production is greater than it ever was before. But this feast for the consumer is in the nature of a famine for theroducer as eggs are failing to very low prices. Of great interest to this section is announcement that the U.S. navy is to undertake to negotiate this Pacific ocean by alrship within a few months. That a successful flight will be made across the Pacific soon there is no good reason to doubt. Development of aviation along this coast and out over the broad Pacific will bear important relation to general industrial and commercial evolution here. Latin America never should underrate the value and importance of the protection it has had from the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine by the U.S. This country has shielded these neighbor republics from attack and from exploitation by overseas powers. And it has been done, too, without ulterior motives on the part of the U.S. This nation has no intention nor has it ever had any intention of depoiling any country on this hemisphere—or any country anywhere, for that matter. U.S. NAVY SEAPLANE TO CROSS PACIFIC The U.S. navy is building a giant seaplane to essay flight across the Pacific. The big airship will be completed within a few weeks. The fateful journey may be undertaken sometime in the summer of this year. American pluck and ingenuity negotiated the Atlantic safety, under auspices of the naval service. It feasts the pride of loyal Americans to know that the first crossing of the Pacific by airship also is to be undertaken by the U.S. navy. This flight doubtless will be as ephecal as an aerial engineering feat as was the crossing of the Atlantic by the NC-4 planes. SWATTING FLIES PAID FOR IN WAUKEGAN Systematically and in businesslike way, Waukegan, over in Illinois, has set about to make itself Flyless Town. A committee of enterprising public-spirited citizens there is paying the school children 10 cents a hundred for all files killed before May 1. The purpose is, if possible, o rida Waukegan of files an dmosquitos. The wisdom of doing the fly-swatting ow is obvious. By removing the peats before their breeding season, the birth of SOUTH DAKOTA'S NAME MAY BE ROOSEVELT South Dakota has launched a movement to change the name of their state. They would call it Roosevelt. This would be a manifest improvement. With two states of the same name, but with "North" and "South" prefixes, the situation is more or less confusing to the people. It would be butter, it would seem, to have but one Dakota. Should a change be made in the name of South Dakota nothing more appropriate could be chosen than Roosevelt. In that region the young Roosevelt dwelt, and led the rugged, strenuous life of the plains which brought him bodily vigor. He loved the western plains and the wild, free life to be experienced there at that time. His type of sturdy Americanism was typical of the west, therefore it would be quite fitting to name a western state—and one whose plains life he reveled in—for this great American. There are two other illustrious men who should be commemorated by having states of the American Union named for them—Christopher Columbus and Abraham Lincoln. Should South Dakota change to Roosevelt, there would be two other similar duplications of state names in which change might be made to Columbia and Lincoln—that is, West Virginia and one of the Carolinas. If West Virginia chose either Columbia or Lincoln as its name, and if one of the Carolinas chose the one not appropriated by West Virginia, the duplications in state names would be eliminated and at the same time a perpetual memorial to three towering great men would be created. MONROE DOCTRINE GETS PRESIDENT'S AID Speaking at the unveiling of the statue of Simon Bollavar, the South American patriot and liberator, in Central Park, New York, President Harding strongly affirmed allegiance to the Monroe Doctrine. "The history of the generations since that district," has proclaimed," said the President, "has proven that we never intended it selfishly; that we had no dream of exploitation." Very true. This must have been impressed upon every people on earth that sees the course of America through friendly eyes and puts the normal and fair construction upon this country's policies. "The history of the last decade," continued President Harding, "must have convinced all the world that we mand willing to fight, if necessary, to protect those continents, these months."

This is a graphic, yet faithful statement of America's devotion to the Monroe Doctrine and to all the responsibilities that it embodies and implies. No nation in the history of the world so consistently has given shelter, protection for a century to a cluster of comparatively weak neighboring countries constituting a whole continent in themselves, as the United States has done to Latin America. While not making any material claims upon these republics for this prosecution service, yet the United States naturally feels that it should have the friendship and, the sentimental regard of those countries as its reward. The Village Gossip When in a year or so the Santa Ana Community hospital is moved to a new location, will "Bones" be willing to go along, or will he insist on remaining in the same haunt that have known him for the past four years? That is the question that is puzzling the hospital folks. Bones is an aristocratic-looking specimen of the canine family. He became a member of the Community hospital entourage May 28, 1917, when his master, J. A. Jackson, of Santa Ana, was admitted to the institution. Jackson, whose condition failed to improve, was removed from the hospital June 25 of the same year. For some reason Bones did not know that his master had left the hospital and the dog continued to loiter outside under the window of the room where Jackson had lain for a month. Finally, the nurses' attention was attracted to Bones. They tried to get him to leave the hospital; but no avail. Bones was in a fearfully emaciated condition when he followed his master to the hospital, and it was not until the nurses began to feed him that he "picked up." Gradually Bones became "husky." He became a bouncing dog and as his condition improved he became more and more convinced in his canine mind that the hospital was the place for him. At Sacramento The administration's bill to consolidate the many commissions under nine departments has been "shot full of holes" and for practical purposes will have little force and effect except in title. The first to get out from under control of the director of agriculture was the fish and same commission. The next was the forestry administration, and the third to get from under this bill was that creating a department of professional standards which now function as the commissions of medical, dental, veterinary, optometry, pharmacy, accountancy, architecture, embalmers and library board of examiners. The senate refused to merge these professions into one department of professional standards by a vote of 25 does to 12 ayes. Senator W. J. Carr changed his vote from aye to no and moved for reconsideration. There is little hope for the reversal of the vote. Before the bill passes it is probable that many of the commissioners will retain their present entity. Opponents of the administration bill claim that it will not reduce state expenses over $50,000, while the propositions of the bill claim it will reduce state expenses $300,000. Taking into consideration the fact that the expenses of the state for the next biennum are about $82,000,000, besides the special appropriations amounting to several million dollars, one wonders why so much time is lost on this measure. The measure to abolish the home for delinquent women has been defeated by the assembly. The session of 1919 appropriated $250,000 for the purchase of a farm, and the present session asks for $125,000 to fit it up. At present your correspondent is advised that it has no inmates. The work of redistricting the state for congressional, senatorial and assembly purposes has practically been passed over on the proposition that the governor will call an extraordinary session; at least that was the decision reached by the senate on the Boggs reapportionment bill, and similar action will be taken by that body when Prendergast's bill for the same purpose reaches the senate. Such a wealth of material is being passed up to the governor for ultimate decision that he will certainly have some task before him. You will remember the fight over the revenue and taxation bill with the administration forces victorious for the $82,000,000 which was claimed to be necessary for carrying on the state for the next two years. Now the opponents of the administration measure, having lost their fight, claim—"Alright, as long as you are going to get the money we will help you spend it." It is estimated that somewhere between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000 is the sum asked for by the special appropriation bills in this session. The most of these are being passed out, with and without recommendations for the determination of both houses and ultimately the governor. It is assuredly some task that confronts him, that of determining what is absolutely necessary and what can wait. In passing these bills you must score one or two for Los Angeles-co., it having gotten through the assembly the bill appropriating $3,000,000 for flood control in that county. A number of northern delegates explained their support of the proposition by saying that they had been aided by the southern delegates in securing the appropriation in 1919 for the Sutter Basin project and the north-felt obligated to the south.

The state that projected Bone and Benton, Doniphan and Fremoul, Lewis and Clark, Yeet and Stone, Bates and Linn, Champ Clark and Finally, the nurses' attention was attracted to Bones. They tried to get him to leave the hospital but to no avail. Bones was in a fearfully emaciated condition when he followed his master to the hospital, and it was not until the nurses began to feed him that he "picked up." Gradually Bones became "husky." He became a bouncing dog and as his condition improved, he became more and more convinced in his canine mind that the hospital was the place for him. The nurses, however, did not know whether they wanted Bones to become a "member" of the hospital staff. In fact, within a few weeks they decided that Bones' place should be somewhere else. So upon two different occasions they gave Bones away. Both times Bones refused to stay "given." Both times within two weeks after he was removed from the hospital he came back. Bones had firmly decided that there was no place quite as delightful as the community hospital. Bones considers Miss Emma Peek cook at the hospital, his principal friend. It took him but a short time to learn whereabouts of the kitchen. And he soon learned that cake was a delicacy extremely pleasing to his canine palate. So, whenever he thinks it is cake time he stations himself beneath the kitchen window and gives a low whine, which Miss Peck at once recognizes as the signal that Bones desires a piece of cake. Needless to say, the cake is forthcoming. Howard E. White, Santa Ana, has made what is declared to be an amateur radio record when he talked with S. B. Brown of Washington Heights, a suburb of Seattle, Washington, for more than an hour. The continental code was used at this end and a wireless telephone at the other end. Brown's voice could be heard distinctly ten feet away from the receiver and White replied by telegraph as his station is not equipped with a wireless phone. White took a message fo ra "pal" of Brown who is a sailor on the U. S. S. Idaho, now stationed at San Pedro. This he mailed to the sailor today. The boys planned a regular schedule and will have talks every night at about midnight when they propose to relay messages for the American Radio league, an amateur wireless organization. A. W.
