GREETING TO OUR READERS no darkness like the cloud of mist. On grief's vain eye—the blindest of the blind. Which may not, dare not see, but print aside. To blackest shade, nor will endure a guide—Bryan. The American farmer is busy making hay, not trouble. The happy day returning when five cents will buy something. When ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to have our horoscope cast. The people want simplicity, efficiency and economy in government, with taxes reduced to the minimum required to bring about governmental efficiency. The old way to make a grade crossing absolutely safe is to abolish it. Extravagance, wastefulness and bad management are wholly inexcusable in government. Let the pacifists say what they will be up in arms on the good dreadnaught Courtship. So long as there is reckless speeding so long will streets and highway frequently become shambles. There is no surety in any undertaking unless there be loyalty and cooperation among those engaged in it. Secretary Mellon warns Uncle Sam that he cannot soft pedal on taxing until he soft pedals on spending. Anaheim Beauty Parlor, Hale Work & Specialty, 390 E. Center-st.

INCORPORATED Pacific Electric Building Los Angeles, Calif. Uncle Sam's OK Here's what the U.S. Geological Survey says about the quality of California Paraffin-Base Oil: "Although the productive area in this new field (Ventura County) will not likely be very large, the high quality Paraffin-Base Oil obtained makes this field a valuable addition to the California Resources." The field referred to is the one that produces the crude oil from which the Ventura Refining Company manufactures "Ventura" Paraffin-Base Motor Oil. Because Paraffin-Base Motor Oil first came from the East, many motorists have fallen into the habit of asking for "Eastern" instead of "Paraffin-Base" Oil. Since many "Eastern" oils are not Paraffin Base, it's safer for you to ask for "Paraffin Base" rather than "East- fining Company manufactures "Ventura" Paraffin-Base Motor Oil. Because Paraffin-Base Motor Oil first came from the East, many motorists have fallen into the habit of asking for "Eastern" instead of "Paraffin-Base" Oil. Since many "Eastern" oils are not Paraffin Base, it's safer for you to ask for "Paraffin Base" rather than "Eastern" — or better still, to ask for "Ventura" Motor Oil, which is pure Paraffin-Base Oil, guaranteed by a reputable Company. —It's "there" for wear.

THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA YOUR MONEY GOES MUCH FURTHER NOW The public is very much interested in what the retailer has done toward reducing the cost of living. Much propaganda has been spread over So. Calif. to the effect that the manufacturer and wholesaler have reduced their prices but that the retailer is inclined to maintain the high prices as long as possible.

FIRE RAGES ON STEAMER NEW YORK, May 20—Fire raged today aboard the 10,500-ton passenger ship Panhandle State, constructed at the cost of $5,000,000 for the United States shipping board. She lies beach-ed on Ellis Island. The fire was placed under control without loss of life. Federal agents are already at work probing the cause of the fire which did enormous damage to the great river. The Panhandle State caught fire just after a strike-breaking crew of 400 had boarded her following descent or her regular complement to join the maritime walkout. The ship was built last year and caught fire from a leaking fuel oil tank and was towed from her North River pier and beached off Ellis Island to prevent total destruction. She continued to burn until early today. Damage was heavy. —The Plain Dealer for Job Printing.
