DAILY GREETING TO READERS Authority intoxicates And makes mere sots of magistrate; The fumes of it invade the brain, And make them giddy, and vain; By this the fool commands the wise; The noble with the base complies; The not assumes the rule of wit; And cowards make the brave submit. Butler. How the opposing pitcher must deliver to see Babe Ruth come to batt! All things come to him who waits — provided he works while he waits. America's preparedness to defend itself probably will preclude the necessity for it to defend itself. Baseball is become so clean that even Judge Landis may see the game without making a wry face. It is greatly to be regretted that Shakespeare plays seldom are seen on the stage. It would be calamitous to the drama if these noble productions were allowed to become obsolete. While beautifully and impressively memorizing the dead soldiers of the World War, the national government and the people jointly and generously should care for the living veterans. Making the world "safe for democracy" is inevitable. Meanwhile the streets and highways, thus swift traffic regulations, should be made safe for the democrats who travel or cross the thorofares. Butter for the U.S. to pay Colombia, $25,000,000 than for a large section of Latin America to feel that this country despoiled that South American republic in getting possession of the Panama Canal zone. President Harding, in dealing with members of congress, is savage and conglobally and thus far has made his attitude count for results. Another vindication of the homely old adage to the effect that more files are enclosed with sugar than vinegar. The U.S. should keep itself abundantly prepared to defeat any armed forth from the shades of the U. of P. to be a national figure on politics again? FOR SIGHTLY HIGHWAYS: MOVEMENT STARTS Why not have roads that attract the eye as well as give comfort to the body in riding over them? The subject of beautification of highways is now seriously considered by road experts Directors of the Bankhead National Highway Association have resolved to promote the beautifying of national highways. Women affiliated with this association protested the use of national highways for advertising purposes. There should be general cooperation of public authorities and the people of all sections, in making the prospect pleasing along highways. The objection against unsightly wildernesses of advertising signs along scenic roadways is well-grounded. This marring of otherwise beautiful driveways here in California and in other states offends the taste of all lovers of the beautiful. PATRIOTIC STIMULUS IN IMMIGRATION BILL Great stimulus to the patriotism of those loyal American citizens of alien birth who fought with the American Expeditionary Forces in the world war will be given by that provision of the pending immigration restriction measure in Congress which Congressman Lineberger was instrumental in having inserted in the bill. This proviso is to the effect that of those to be admitted into the United States under the limitations of this bill, relatives of former soldiers of the United States in the world war shall be admitted prior to immigrants from the same country who have no relatives who served under the American flag in the great war. Congressman Lineberger, who is greatly interested in Ameribanization of assimilable foreigners in this country, feels that the fires of patriotism would be kindled in the breasts of immigrants who should be admitted preferentially after their return. tution, nurses able to save him.

Another vindication of the homely old adage to the effect that more files are created with sugar than vinegar. The U.S. should keep itself abundantly prepared to defeat any armed attack that might be made upon it, and yet be eager at all times to keep out of war and to promote abiding peace throughout the world. California should begin at once to plant forest trees systematically. There is no economic need more pressing than to replenish its forests and to keep on replenishing them. This state should be an exemplar of wisdom and prudence in this. With the principal highways of the country (local with beautiful trees dedicated to the memory of the gallant American soldier of the World War) those who travel the roads would have constant reminder of the sacrifices of these valiant young Americans. That which the public asks in the theater should be clean and wholesome. That which is clean need not be dull and uninteresting. Some of the brightest and cleverest of comedians on the screen and on the legitimate stage are altogether wholesome and unobjectionable. In truth, there is no real cleverness in filthy suggestiveness. General Potahsing is to be given just worthy of his great abilities as a military organizer and disciplinarian. There is no work of greater importance, militarily speaking, than that to which the distinguished commander of the American Expeditionary forces has been assigned. That he will perform the huge and delicate task brilliantly and effectually, no true American doubts. GEN. WOOD TO BE HEAD OF UNIVERSITY Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood has been elected head of the University of Pennsylvania by the trustees of that institution. That he will accept the position seems to have been assured before the election was made. Upon his return from the Philippines, General Wood will take up his duties actively as administrative head of this one of the oldest and most renowned of America's great universities. An illustrious precedent of a warrior quitting military service to become president of a university is that of General Robert E. Lee, chieftain of the Confederacy in the Civil War. He came out of that struggle homeless and penniless, hence with gladness he accepted the presidency of What About Your Future?

The baby was discovered by Miss Julia Campbell. At first she thought that what she saw was a bundle of old clothes. Seeing something move she investigated and found the tiny baby. Dr. Waffle immediately gave the little one medical aid and in about an hour the child had recovered sufficiently to give a little cry. Soon after the baby's removal to the hospital it began to gain added strength and soon became perfectly healthy. Old Farmer Alfalfa is digging his toes into the rich soil at Greenville and Talbert and is doing his best to gain a foothold that will terminate in a real come-back. A few years ago Farmer Alfalfa was cocked in the fields to the southwest of Santa Ana. Along come Farmer S. Beet and Farmer L. Began and the two of them turned on Farmer A1 and threw him out of the lot. What's more they took entire possession of the premiere. Even the dairy cows were run off the place. True, a few cows found refuge in out of the way corners here and there, but they were a lonesome lot. They were regarded as the remnants of a by-gone industry. But the cows are wandering back into the fold. And cows are like children, they do eat. The cows that furnish the tinkle in the bottom of a milk pail are just as fond of alfalfa as were the cows that dotted the landscape before farmers around Greenville and Talbert got to growing sugar beets and lima beans almost exclusively. The growers were following the practice of buying feed for their work stock. However, conditions have change in the past year or two. Freight rates and trucking ran into money. The advisability of rotation crops has impressed itself upon the land owner. Dairying has been coming back—slowly, but nevertheless coming back.

Randel I wish to say in reply to the article in your paper under date of April 15, under the heading, "Who Is It Wishes a Blue Sunday," let the following interview which was published in the Philadelphia Public Ledger and given to the New York correspondent of that paper by the Rev. Harry L. Bowley, national secretary of the Lord's Alliance, and quoted in the issue of that paper of Nov. 28, 1920, in which he outlined the policy of the association which he represents, answered the above question. "We are well financed. Our lobby at Washington will be an effective and experienced one. We shall work in every congressional district in every state. We shall agitate and spread propaganda and cause voters to write unceasingly to their representatives in congress until no congressman who cares to stay in congress will dare refuse to vote for our measures. These were the methods used by the Anti-Saloon League and they were effective. "We propose to pass no blue laws. There are no such things as blue laws—never were. And we don't propose to legislate people into church. We propose, by legislation, to make it easier for people to go to church. In other words, we shall try to close the baseball parks, the golf links, motion pictures and other theatre parks, bathing beaches and so on. We shall fight all amusements where an admission fee is charged. We shall oppose golf, tennis, baseball, football, and other sports, even if purely amateur and void of financial cost because they set bad examples for children who otherwise might be content to go to Sunday school. "We shall try to restrict the sale of gasoline for pleasure automobiles, and urge other measures that will stop Sunday automobiling and joy riding. This will not bring back the old fashioned horse and buggy for we believe the Lord's Day should be a day of rest for man and beast. Excursion steamer rides on Sunday will be opposed by us on the ground that they are unnecessary to the welfare" New York Letter of Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, April 27—The reased array of witnesses of the two sides of the Stillman divorce case would make up a very good musical comedy of the sort where no expense is spared in the chorus effects. Simple Indians and villains in the Canadian forests will be offset by bespangled chorus girls or broadway, not forgetting the nautical division from the good ship Modesty, Mr. Stillman's yacht. The available array includes astrologers, bell boys, maid servants, apartment house superintendents, and others too numerous to particularize, who would just be listed on the program as "ladies and gentlemen of the ensemble," or maybe, "yeomanry." There's a terrible shock awaiting any visitor to the city from far away who goes down to see the excitement in the stock exchange these days. We have grown so accustomed to thinking of it as a place of hectic champoring and causes in which costs and collars are torn awake that it is sort of like stepping into the hush of a library to go into the exchange these days. The brokers have taken to checkers to keep awake, some of them, while others spend the time comparing golf records. Some liveller souls discovered that dice are helpful in whirling away the silent hours, but the governors reminded them that gambling is prohibited—of course within the precepts of the stock exchange. There is nothing else to do. The freemixed public refuses to become freemixed right now about stocks. So do the brokers. The only excitement the fool has seen in several days—or pretty nearly weeks—took place other morning when one of the youthful members conceived a happy thot if living up a new ticker arrangement. It is a transparent globe of water with the ticker running back of it. The numerals being so magnified by the water that they can be read 20 feet away. It looked so much like a goldfish bowl that lightsome one dropped some pretty little fishes in it and almost upset business. But most of the time, now... COUNSEL NOT READY IN OIL LAND SUIT By stipulation of attorneys in the civil action of Jane Parker and her husband, John Parker, against Grace E. Bartlett, of Huntington Beach, the case has been stricken off the calendar. It is understood that neither side was ready for trial when the case was called. Upon motion or petition of counsel the case will be reset for trial. Mr. and Mrs. Parker brought suit against Mrs. Bartlett to compel her to convey to them two lots at Huntington Beach on which they claim to hold an option. The plaintiffs allege that they paid Mrs. Bartlett $105 in October, 1920, as an option on the lots, she having agreed to sell, according to the plaintiffs, for $5000. The plaintiffs assert that Mrs. Bartlett secreted herself for some months so that they could not locate her and negotiate an election under the contract. Mr. and Mrs. Parker allege that they finally located Mrs. Bartlett and offered to pay her the sum of $4,985 as the balance due on the two lots and that she refused to accept this amount and convey the property. HAWTHORNE-INGLEWOOD FIELD Little progress was made in the Hawthorne-Inglewood field, the last week. The Commonwealth Petroleum Co. is still battling with water troubles at 2800 feet in Rosecrans No. 1. The Kitselmen interests are drilling three wells. Nos. 1 and 2 are standing cemented and No. 3 is drilling in sandy shale at 2055. The Milwaukee Fountain Trust has three wells underway, all are now standing cemented. The Huntington-Hawthorne is drilling with a water well outfit and have some 600 feet of hole. The Union set a string of 12-inch at Sojourners No. 1 at 2025 feet. Showings of gas were reported. The Standard's Bohon still stands cemented and Landowners No. 1 has suspended drilling temporarily at 2800 feet. WESTMINSTER DRILLING AT 1100 The Westminster Oil Co. successfully set and cemented off a string of 15½ at 1055 and is now drilling ahead in a very hard shale at 1100 feet. The drilling thus far has gone very nicely. “We shall try to restrict the sale of gasoline for pleasure automobiles, and urge other measures that will stop Sunday automobile and joy riding. This will not bring back the old fashioned horse and buggy for we believe the Lord's Day should be a day of rest for man and beast. Excursion steamer rides on Sunday will be opposed by us on the ground that they are unnecessary to the welfare of Christian America.” “How many churches are behind this movement?” the reporter asked. “Sixteen denominations,” he replied. “Really, we have seventeen, for while the Lutheran Synod did not endorse this movement officially, the Lutherans are with us. Only the Roman Catholics, the Unitarians, the Seventh Day Adventists, and the Jews are outside this movement, and to be perfectly frank with you, they will have to conform to the laws if we succeed. The Jew will have to observe our Sabbath. As a fact he might as well, because Saturday is not, after all, his Sabbath. He is wrong by the revised calendar.” “No, I see no reason why the public libraries or the art galleries should remain open on Sunday. We shall seek to eliminate the huge Sunday newspapers and to establish a censorship over the stuff that gets into them on other days.” “Of course we shall back no law that will compell a man or woman that if we take away a man's motor car, his golf sticks, his Sunday newspaper, his horses, his pleasure steamships, amusement houses and parks, and prohibit him from playing outdoor games or witnessing field sports, he will naturally drift back to church.” “We propose to close all stores, pharmacies excepted. And it is our hope that pharmacies may be eliminated to the sale of medicines only on Sundays.” As to what the blue laws of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Virginia were, they will be taken up in another article, with some more very interesting matter, in which will be shown the similarity between the proposed national Sunday law and the blue laws of a century or two ago. —Anaheim Post No. 72, American Legion Dance every Friday.

"Dream Street" in its bigness and its power is another "Broken Blossome," but I'll admit that I was glad it lacked the final tragedy. The controversy which has raged in art and court circles these past few months between the claims of blondes vs. those of brunettes seems to have met with a fairly practical decision in the quotation from a prominent hair dresser. "Which is the most artistic" he echoed. "Which the more loyal" And he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, I'm sure. All I know is that I get 40 cents an ounce more for blonde hair than for dark. That shows which most people want to be." A suit of clothes looked better to Thomas Snannon, panhandler, than freedom. He was on the point of being released from the Tombs, when he decided to swap clothes with Fred Stern, awaiting trial of pocket picking, and take Stern's chances of drawing a sentence. When Shannon's name was called for release, Stern, in the panhandler shabby clothes walked out. But there isn't much freedom of choice left in life these days, and somebody interfered with the mutually agreeable arrangement. Apne Schata, who decided that she would become a movie star rather than a waitress got back her $10 paid for the lessons which were to be the open sesame to film fame. Miss Sabata appeared in court as complainant against George R. Cone, who had inserted the ad which lured the $40 from her savings bank. She had been promised, Miss Sabata declared, a position which would enable her to ride in a limousine. Instead, she had only been taught to recite "On Our Wedding day," and she was still a waitress. She offered to recite it for the court, but before she got thru, it was decided that the evidence was sufficient to get her $40 back. Dr. C. S. O'Toole, Physician and Surgeon, Phone, Residence 546.
