DAILY GREETING Heaven's the perfection of all that can be said or thought, riches, delight, or harmony. Health; beauty; and all these not subject to the waste of time, but in their height eternal. —Shirley. Ill would fare this land should the conscience of the people become afflicted with sleeping sickness. A strong United States fleet in the Pacific speaks a more eloquent note of preparedness than any statesman could pen. Physical culture is indispensable in the symmetrical educating of youth. The body should be trained along with the mind. All desirable newcomers, in California, to live temporarily or permanently, should be welcomed cordially and in genuinely hospitable spirit. The brand of militarism which was brandished over Europe in 1914 started in configuration that burns yet and has scoured the world worse than any calamity that ever befell the human race. All nations should unite to prevent a recurrence of that supreme tragedy. If President Obregon would rather be obstructive than to be recognized by Uncle Sam, well and good. The United States is asking nothing unreasonable as a condition precedent to formal cognizance to the Obregon government. But if Senor Obregon is not sufficiently appreciative of American recognition to be willing to meet America's conditions then he must go along without bognizance. The Pacific coast will sincerely welcome the coming of the whole American fleet to these waters. People of this section would feel that only the wise and prudent thing were being done if the entire fleet were stationed in the Pacific for an indefinite period. In guarding against danger, the guarding should be done where the danger is most probable to arise. MR. LANE NO HYPHENATE; TRUE AMERICAN Franklin K. Lane was not a native-born American. He was born in the Dominion of Canada. Yet who ever heard of him referring to himself as a Canadian-American? He was American, through and through, without any hyphen—without any prefixes or suffixes. He spoke as an American, he thought as an American, he WAS an American. His is the type of naturalized Citizenship that this country welcomes and craves. Mr. Lane not only was simply and unqualifiedly American, without Aphenism, but he sought, as Secretary of the Interior, in the stirring days of the world war and the crucial period immediately following the Armistice, to deepen and to effectualize the Americanizing processes among aliens. He strongly advocated intensive education of foreigners, seeking naturalization, in the rudiments of American principles of government, American ideals and American modes of thought and methods of action. Mr. Lane's influence has been very strong for thorough Americanization of aliens and for complete eradication of the hyphen and of divided loyalty among naturalized citizens. The good work that he instituted should be carried on. No better monument to him could be erected than build up a great system of thorough, effectual Americanizing of foreigners who seek citizenship in this land. Having a big fleet in the Pacific without adequate bases is as awkward and embarrassing as it is to a householder to have a house full of company, come to stay, and having too few beds and sleeping rooms to accommodate the guests.

The Pacific coast will sincerely welcome the coming of the whole American fleet to these waters. People of this section would feel that only the wise and prudent thing were being done if the entire fleet were stationed in the Pacific for an indefinite period. In guarding against danger, the guarding should be done where the danger is most probable to arise. EUROPE'S HATES BREED USELESS WARS Speaking at the banquet, in London, of the Pilgrims' Society in honor of Col. Harvey, American ambassador, Premier Lloyd George, while not speaking as specifically on European issues as was expected and hoped for, made three utterances that were noteworthy. For preceding the said disrespects by European diplomacy which he said worked away in the dense thickness of ancient trudges, rooted entangled with warmen; it is difficult to see the latter it is not always possible to see the light of day; I did not realize it all until the peace conferences." This is an appraisal of European diplomacy that is sorry enough, yet Americans are quite ready to accept this as true persecution. This Nation would shun that form of diplomacy and would keep itself from becoming the exploited victim of the cunning machinations of the European school of diplomacy. Another notable incident occurred near Merlion George was killed. If this war isn't the last war, the next will have Europe in ashles. It is essential we should find some means of dragging the nations out of this labyrinth of hatred for our own safety. If there were no other motive higher than self-preservation each and every country in Europe—and in the world, for that matter—should be ready and eager to join an association of nations to preserve just peace throughout the world. Mr. Lloyd George's tribute to America was couched in these words: We welcome this new power, vigorous string, clear-headed, untrammeled with these old quarrels; we are delighted to see the United States coming, not because we want to drag America into these quarrels—that would make it worse; we want America to help us out, not to help us in. Gracious compliments. Correct, acceptable attitude as to what the mother country expects and may expect of the United States. LEGAL HOLIDAY MADE OF ARMISTICE DAY By act of the California Legislature, which has just been approved by Governor Stephens, Armistice Day, November 11, becomes a legal holiday in this state. This is well. That without adequate bases is as awkward and embarrassing as it is to a householder to have a house full of company, come 10 stay, and having too few beds and sleeping rooms to accommodate the guests. Letters From People Cypress, May 24, 1921. The Plain Dealer: Proceedings for drainage district abandoned. For two years or more certain land owners in Cypress district have been formulating plans for the organization of a drainage district under the drainage act of 1913, comprising four thousand acres. An estimate of the county engineer placed the improvement at 1220-742.00. In addition to this, a heavy cost for maintenance would be imposed upon the property holders and heavier charges for laterals to connect with the main line. The majority of the property owners did not deem the project of Bridgent benefit to justify heavy charge upon their land and turned out thine massa to defeat it. At a final hearing before the board of supervisors on the 17th of May, the supervisors hadandoned the project. The default of this taxation scheme was largely due to the judicious management of the prostrata cases ex-Senator Henry. In Carrie of Los Angeles attorney for some of the prosecuting property holders. Also thanks are due to the four members of the board of supervisors who recognized the winner of the majority of the property owners in the district. LAND OWNER: TIRES!

WALTERS WE DO VULCANIZING THAT PAINT 156 So., Los Angeles St. Anaheim LEGAL HOLIDAY MADE OF ARMISTICE DAY By act of the California Legislature, which has just been approved by Governor Stephens, Armistice Day, November 11, becomes a legal holiday in this state. This is well. That event should be memorable forever in the annals of the United States. It marked the definite breaking of a military power that held more menace to the world within itself than any scourge that ever descended upon mankind. The day should be celebrated not alone because of the blessing that came to a war-racked world on that date, but because of the highly important part that the valorous fighting forces of the United States had in that supreme drama. The United States for the first time sent war armed forces overseas to blend with other forces fighting in the same cause, and that cause was to free the world of this menacing militarism and to cast down and to crush forever the infamous doctrine that "might makes right." The United States, in never before, assumed its place and functioned as a world power. It fought, not merely to protect itself, but with a sublime ideation. And he is a poor spokesman for this nation and people who would make it appear that America entered the world war solely to save itself from the military menace of kaiseristle forces. America fought in the world war with high and unsatisfied ideals, as it did in the war with Spain. One need not fly to foolish extremes of altruism to believe and to admit this. Armistice Day should be observed with altruistic spirit, as Memorial Day is. The memory of the sacrifice of thousands of precious American lives should not be tarnished by sweeping aside the inspiring idealism that moved American soldiers, and American loyalists back of them, in the crucial days of 1917 and 1918. —Try Plain Dealer Wout Ads. THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA MANY "DEAD MEN" WALKING STREETS There are more dead men walking the streets than there are in the graveyards—they are dead because they haven't discovered their latent possibilities. This declaration was made at the Santa Ana Kiwanis club luchon by George H. Knox of the Knox Institute of Individual Efficiency, Los Angeles in an address that teamed with suggestion in business man. He talked on "The Most Expensive Tug in Business." He declared there were many angles to the subject and that many things enter into expensive costs in business operation. He asserted that a great expense is laid on efficiency by inefficiency. The burden is laid on men who do things by those who do not do things. An employer may spend thousands of dollars in advertising to bring customers into his store, but that money in wasted if his employees are not alert and efficient in handling the customers. The worst habit in the world is that of not doing well, that of the individual limiting himself to the smallest feature of the business he is following. The average salesman thinks more of the commission he is going to make than he does of the success of the business of his employer. Knox declared that the average man has a "akim milk" opinion of himself that he does not realize the latent possibilities watch he has in him and which could be developed by the proper activity and thought. He brought out this thought in a statement as to the necessity of each individual keeping his mind at work in grasping new ideas. Man rusts out—he never works out," he said in stating that one of the most expensive things in business is the man who stops growing intellectually. RETURN FROM TAKEING PAIR TO SAN QUENTIN Coroner C. D. Brown and William Cheney, deputy sheriff, were telling their friends today about their trip to San Quentin, where they left two purposes and Johnson stated that from present indications the crop in Orange-co will be a very large one. While as usual, production will start somewhat slack. Johnson stated that in his opinion there would be no curtailment of the number of persons employed in the three plants, two in Santa Ana and one at Huntington Beach, controlled by this company. The plants each employ from 200 to 400 persons during the busy season. In addition to the three factories controlled by the Holly Sugar corporation there are two others in Orange-co, one at Anabealm and one at Los Alamitos. The five plants make sugar from beets grown on from 40,000 to 50,000 acres of land, returning to the growers an annual revenue of nearly $7,000,000. Johnson was of the opinion that with continuance of present good prospects, the yield this year would be above normal. DEVELOP HARBOR NOW, URGES HUFF By their failure to insist upon immediate further development of Orange-co harbor, the people of this county are losing a golden opportunity, in the opinion of D. Eyman Huff, president of the Orange-co Harbor assn. and prominently identified with the citrus industry. He bases his opinion on the activities of grower associations in developing water transportation for their farm products and on the situation which has arisen with reference to maintaining the Pacific fleet on this coast. That the citrus and deciduous grower organizations of the coast are taking an active step in the direction of providing water transportation is evidenced by the announcement that members of an all-western committee on water transportation will meet at Seattle June 1 to consider plans for establishing water transportation for farm products on a permanent basis.

On the morning of March 23 the LIGHT-SIX left Los Angeles in an attempt to lower the fifth and only remaining record of consequence on the Pacific Coast. The 422 miles of desert trail from Los Angeles to Phoenix were made in 13 hours 16 minutes, and 2 hours 28 minutes were taken from the best previous automobile record. The railroad time is 14 hours 20 minutes, or 1 hour 4 minutes slower than the record established by the LIGHT-SIX. Hart L. Weaver of the Chester N. Weaver Company, Studebaker Distributors 5. Los Angeles—Phoenix Record. On the morning of March 23 the LIGHT-SIX left Los Angeles in an attempt to lower the fifth and only remaining record of consequence on the Pacific Coast. The 422 miles of desert trail from Los Angeles to Phoenix were made in 13 hours 16 minutes, and 2 hours 28 minutes were taken from the best previous automobile record. The railroad time is 14 hours 20 minutes, or 1 hour 4 minutes slower than the record established by the LIGHT-SIX. Hart L. Weaver of the Chester N. Weaver Company, Studebaker Distributors in San Francisco, made the following statement after the completion of the Los Angeles-Phoenix run: "These tests have demonstrated on the road everything that Studebaker engineers have claimed for the new LIGHT-SIX-cylinder car. When it is remembered that the bore and stroke of this car is only 3⅓ x 4⅔, giving it a piston displacement of 207 cubic inches, and that the car fully equipped only weighs 2500 pounds, these records are all the more remarkable since most of them were formerly held by heavier cars costing much more than the Studebaker LIGHT-SIX. I am inclined to believe that the secret of this car's wonderful performance, and roadability is due in a very large measure to its remarkable balance. Halved or quartered the parts of the new LIGHT-SIX would weigh approximately the same." In making the Los Angeles-Phoenix record I am frank to confess that despite my faith in the stamina of Studebaker automobiles I could not believe that any car could make the speed over that desert road with its ruts and chuck holes that was necessary in order to lower the record by a large margin without falling to pieces. Any automobile, irrespective of weight, power or price class that can lower the record established by the Studebaker LIGHT-SIX will have my most sincere admiration."
