DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Hope is the fawning traitor of the mind. Which, while it seems with a colored friendship, Bobs us of our last virtue—resolution. —Nathnuel Lee Mr. Bryan has gone to Florida to live. Good-bye to serenity in Florida politics. Planting trees in remembrance of beloved dead is a strikingly beautiful form of memorializing. The uniform optimism of the American people has hastened and is hastening the return of economic normality. Race riots are wholly and disastrously harmful. No possible good comes from them to either race involved in them. California should tame and domesticate its floody rivers. They can be made to do service of instigating value by scientific control of their floods. Development in oil production is adding immensely to California's produced wealth. This is the greatest petroleum producing state in the Union. The nation which comes asking the United States to disarm must itself be willing, in good faith, to go as far as it asks this country to go toward disarming. Honoring and reverencing the Flag should not be restricted to the Fourteenth of June or the Fourth of July, or other patriotic holidays. Honor and reverence it the year around. Trame, then the Panama Canal is growing steadily. Its possibilities are better appreciated and additional regular steamship service through that waterway is being developed. When that portion of the public which goes to the moving picture theatre demands clean picture and refuses to patronize those which palpably are unclean there will be none but CUT PRERIGHT RATES NOW! PRESIDENT URGES President Harding has undertaken to cut the Gordian knot, to relieve the Pacific West of prohibitive freights which are stifling orchard and produce interests. Stirred by the gravity of the crisis in these industries, by the urgent representation of the California delegation in Congress, President Harding went in person, unannounced, to take this up with the chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The President insisted that relief be given quickly, so that growers may not face absolute loss and such discouragement, as would lead to the abandonment, largely, of this great industry of growing fruits and vegetable, in which tens of millions is involved, in California. Members of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in their statements since President Harding's visit, do not give a very roseate prospect for immediate relief. But the pressure of public sentiment, and insistence by the President and by members of Congress that relief be given immediately, may bring the coveted reduction in freights. Meanwhile Californians, as individuals and as organizations, would do well to keep the wires and mail to Washington busy in urging this relief. NOTED NEWSPAPER MAN IS HONORED Exceedingly well qualified for the position to which he has been named is Scott C. Bone, nominated by President Harding to be governor of Alaska. Newpaper men, the country over will rejoice that this appointment has come to Mr. Bone, who has had a long and honorable career as a successful newspaper worker. He went to the Washing Post as news editor in 1888, and was managing editor of that journal for 17 years, when it was owned by Hon. Beriah Wilkins. It was largely through the exceptional journalistic abilities of Mr. Bone that the Washington Post became one of the best known and most influential newspapers of the country. His aim was cleanliness and accuracy. He made the Washington Post a really great newspaper. From 1906 to 1911 he was editor and principal owner of the Wash- Inconceivable doubt about think of multiple When one considers some sublimities its staggering diletties, one is led shored writer: Thou art mind yet man, pungent speeds, has mined these magnificent nesses and formed conception of L man who looks his fellow-men; the animate creat with awed soul, ens, with its faits transcendent any man, view these things, say FOUL ABUSE IN An incident mento, on Wedd between Sacramento denotes an evil pressed—that lers by spectator "fan" hurled against "Roxy" the time, was one of the boxes the best known on the coast went after the Before he could er, he was ree-mates.

Trame tha Panama Canal is growing steadily. Its possibilities are better appreciated and additional regular steamship service through that waterway is being developed. When that portion of the public which goes to the moving picture theatre demands clean picture and refuses to patronize those which palpably are unclean there will be none but clean pictures. Horrors of the great war shoul surface to lead the nations and peoples of Europe to bury, or at least curb their grudges, jealousies and prejudices. Civilization cannot endure a perpetuation of war breeding passions in Europe. Now everybody together—forget the Salman case! And all others of its ilk. Think more of the millions of clean homes in the land, and less of the filthy revolutions. It is indeed decorable that newspaper readers are regulated with martial disagreements and indelibles, and constancy and honor in the home are overshadowed in the shrinking pages of the metropolitan press. The patriotism of some persons is like unto some mountain streams which when storms prevail break forth into raging torrents, but which, in quiet, non-stormy times dry up. Some persons, when the tempests of war come, are torential in their patriotic fervor, but when peace comes, their patriotism dries up like the mountain stream in summer. The country needs patriotism that flows on in steady stream, in peace as well as in war. President Harding is showing commandable vigor in pressing things which should be done without delay. His urgent visit to the Interstate Commerce Commission in behalf of Pacific coast fruit and vegetable interests, to insist upon immediate reduction of freight rates is a case in point. That spirit is appreciated here in California. Impense sums and the life of a great and growing industry are involved. Mr. Harding is grimly resolved that California and the Pacific West shall have relief before it is too late. UNIVERSE VASTER THAN BELIEVED IN PAST The universe is a thousand times greater than ever before conceived by scientists, is the conviction of Dr. Harlow Shapleigh, astronomer, who recently went to Harvard from Mount Wilson Observatory, in California. Dr. Shapleigh claims to have made certain discoveries which expand the universe one thousand times, and correspondingly contract the earth and lessen its importance in the universe. This planet is not the center of the universe, as proud man has ben wont fondly to believe. Far from it. Dr. Shapleigh estimates that this sublary sphere is 360 quintillion miles from the center of the universe. Dr. Shapleigh has found a galaxy about 300,000 light years from end to end. A light year—the distance which a ray of light would travel in one year—is six trillion miles.

RII Distributor 151 S. Los Angeles St. THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA inconceivable distance and then think of multiplying it by 300,000! When one contemplates the awesome sublimities of the universe and its staggering distances and immerses oneself in exclaim, with the sacred writer: "What is amn, that Thou art mindful of him?" And yet man, puny as he is in some respects, has mind that grapples with these magnificent distances and vastnesses and forms a reasonably full conception of them. How can any man who looks upon himself or his fellow-men; who looks forth into the animale creation; who looks with awe soul, into the starry heavens, with its fathomless depths and its transcendent grandeurs—how can any man, viewing and conceiving these things, say, "There is no God?" FOUL ABUSE OF PLAYERS IN BASEBALL GAMES An incident occurred at Sacramento, on Wednesday, in the course of the Coast League baseball game between Sacramento and Seattle, that denotes an evil which should be suppressed—that is, foul abuse of players by spectators. In this game a "hurled a torrent of abuse against" "Roxy" Middleton, who, at the time, was talking to a lady in one of the boxes. Middleton, one of the best known and best liked players on the coast, obtained a bat and went after the insulting spectator. Before he could pummel the offender, he was restrained by his teammates. But the insulting spectator was ejected from the park and was feared, which was right and proper. Hurling insulting epithets at ball players, when they are on the field and not in position to defend themselves, is a raaking, cowardly, unmanly thing, and any spectator guilty of this should be thrown out of the park or arrested for disturbing the peace, or both. Good natured rallery and criticism of players or umplers is not out of place. This may take quite vigorous form, such as booing and rather sharp words, and yet within the bounds of the tolerable. But when a spectator begins foully to abuse a player or an umpire, when ludicrous language is used, and epithets are uttered that the offender would not dare use to the face of the one against whom they are hurled, then there should be prompt action such craziness. Such inconceivable distance and then think of multiplying it by 300,000! The Village Gossip J. Freeds, proprietor of a Santa Ana grocery, is anticipating a reunion with his parents and slaters, who he has not seen for 19 years. They are Mr. and Mrs. J. Freeds, Sr., and the Misses Hedwig and Gisela Freeds of Switzerland, who are now on their way to join their son and brother in this country and are expected to arrive in Santa Ana within three weeks. The family history has been a tragic one for the past few years. The second son, a graduate of a Vienna conservatory, was killed on the battlefield four days after entering service. The parents—and two daughters, Miss Gisela, a teacher in the schools of her country, and Miss Hedwig, a singer who was a member of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Co., in 1911 and 1912 endured five years of starvation when they had no sugar, meat nor fats in any form. Their sole subsistence was on vegetables and corn bread. The prospective visitors here feel the results of this period and will spend some time in rest and recuperation. Miss Hedwig Freeds plans to resume her musical career. The recent showers which provoked many persons because they dispelled the sun and took the crease out of newly pressed clothes had no terrors for James Henry Patterson, itinerant gentleman of leisure. Patterson was arrested last Friday by Constable Jesse Elliott and brot by Justice of the Peace Cox today on a charge of vagrancy. He admitted that he was wondering about the country without any lawful means of support and that he had no particular object in life other than to "take it easy." The itinerant declared that he slept in the open every night during the recent rains. He said that he wrapped himself up in a blanket and water-proof cloth and slept comfortable under the branches of a tree. Patterson said that he would rather sleep in the open than under a roof. "Why do you roam about the world and depend on other people for your bread and butter?" asked Judge Cox. "Why am I alive?" questioned Patterson. "How do you know you're alive?" Judge Cox asked. Well I'm not sure that I am and of the people of Santa Ana and vicinity." The proceeds will go toward the fund being raised for the proposed new art gallery at Laguna. NEW YORK, June 4. — If every much-disputed question in the world were checked up, none probably not even the League of Nations would show quite as much argument given over to it as to that of whether or not New York is a coldly unfeling, or a sociable, generous city. The question was undergoing its regular hammering by an excited group the other evening when one woman, on the side of the defenders of our fair city, told this incident which she herself had seen the day before: An old, blind negro peddler was standing on a Fifth avenue curb just when droves of people were hurrying home. Presently a cheery voice in his ear said: "Do you want to get across?" As he murmured assent, the woman saw a slim, smartly-dressed girl slip a small hand between his elbow and the tray he carried slung across his back. And the two started bravely across the street. "Did you ever see that anywhere else than in New York?" proudly queried the woman. No one expects unanimous opinions in this world, of course, and there's no reason why differences shouldn't extend to one's idea of pets. But still—I haven't been able to just conjecture the temperament of the person who inserted this ad in an afternoon paper yesterday: "Baby turtles—Just what you need to bring life into the family." It sounds like a joke on Philadelphia or something, but it evidently is intended in all seriousness. Pretty soon there won't be any excuse left for the person who thinks it would be rather nice to stop work completely for a week or two in summer time. Vacations a la carte as it were, are being made too easy. Here comes another "vacation while you work" accelerator in the shape of hourly airplane service out to PLANT TREES FOR ALL VETS, IS PLAN The plan of bordering the great highways of the nation with trees planted to perpetuate the memory of men and women who served during the World War has been recommended to all state departments of the American Legion by F. W. Galbraith Jr., national commander, according to advice received here today from Indinapolis. The idea originated with Illinois department and has received the support of the strongest newspapers of the middlewest, and of high federal and state officials. It is proposed to plant 4,000,000 trees of types recommended by the forestry bureau and set out in accordance with the advice of the bureau. To each tree will be affixed a plate bearing the name and military record of an ex-service man or woman. The Lincoln and Dixie highways would first benefit from the project, according to present plans. Ultimately, it is hoped to honor every veteran of the World War with a tree bearing his name. THICK WHITE SAUCE Milk...1 cup Flour...3 tablespoons Fat...3 tablespoons Salt...½ teaspoon Pepper...½ teaspoon For milk toast and with vegetable use the thin sauce. For scalloped or creamed vegetable and meat dishes use the medium sauce. The chief use for the thick sauce is as a binding material in croquettes and loaves. The itinerant declared that he slept in the open every night during the recent rains. He said that he wrapped himself up in a blanket and water-proof cloth and slept comfortable under the branches of a tree. Patterson said that he would rather sleep in the open than under a roof. "Why do you roam about the world and depend on other people for your bread and butter?" asked Judge Cox. "Why am I alive?" questioned Patterson. "How do you know you're alive?" Judge Cox asked. "Well, I'm not sure that I am and it doesn't matter." Patterson said that he had $17 in his pocket. He was arrested shortly after buying some fishhooks in a local hardware store. His rusy appearance attracted Constable Elliott. Patterson told him that he was going up to some of the mountain streams and try his luck with the fish hooks. "You are not crazy about work, are you Patterson?" asked Judge Cox. "Can't say I am, Judge." "Well, I believe you are a harmless sort of a tramp. I'm not going to disrupt your plans. I'm going to turn you lobese and let you go back to the green fields and winding brooks. Go find yourself a nice lounging spot. Lie down on your back, cross your feet and put your hands under your head. Listen to the mocking birds and whip-poor-wills. If you ever generate any ambition come in here and ask for a job, I'll see that you get one. We'll try to find something that will be to your liking and try to make you feel at home." Judge Cox said after Patterson had been dismissed that he thought he was harmless. "He's not the kind of a fellow who would cause any trouble," said Judgo Cox. "I'll bet he wanders out of town tonight and sleeps with his face toward the stars. What are you to do with a man like that? What can you do with him?" The week of the August full moon. It is the period that is being eagerly awaited by the art colony at Laguna Beach. Scores of men, women and children are hard at work getting ready for presentation during that period of a big pageant in which will be depicted the spiritual life of the primitive American Indian. The pageant was written by Isaac Jenkinson Frazee, who, with Mrs. Frazee, has come to Laguna Beach to make his home. The play, upon the occasion of its presentation twice before, at Escondido, was a marked success and it is predicted that the production to be given at Laguna in August will be even a greater success. "The Laguna Beach Art association, which has been working during the past three years for the advancement of art and the spirit of cooperation between the artist and public, is receiving a new impetus to high endeavor by the coming of Mr. and Jenkinson Frazee, who, with Mrs. Frazee, has come to Laguna Beach to make his home. The play, upon the occasion of its presentation twice before, at Escondido, was a marked success and it is predicted that the production to be given at Laguna in August will be even a greater success. "The Laguna Beach Art association, which has been working during the past three years for the advancement of art and the spirit of cooperation between the artist and public, is receiving a new impetus to high endeavor by the coming of Mr. and Mrs. Frazee," said today Miss Anna A. Hillis, well known artist of Laguna and chairman of the pageant publicity committee. "I feel sure that the pageant will prove an artistic triumph of which all Orange county will be proud, and if it should be repeated from year to year, as is contemplated, our fame will spread far and wide." Miss Hillis continued. "The play will be given in Mr. Joseph Yochs eucalyptus grove in the canyon near Sleepy Hollow. This point will be transformed into a sylvan theatre. It is a spot admirably suited for the purpose, one side being a gradual slope where the seating will be arranged. "There will be at least one hundred persons in the cast, which will include beside the seven important speaking parts an "Evening Star" chorus of 30 voices, 20 cobweb fairies, and many craftsmen and warriors. "The pageant has already achieved a great success and is enthusiastically endorsed by such persons as Mr. L. E. Behymer of Los Angeles, who, upon the occasion of the presentation of the play at Escondido, sent some of his orchestra to assist; by George Wharton James, who took one of the important parts; by Ellen Beach Yaw, and by others. These have made know their willingness to assist in its presentation at Laguna in August." Mr. Frazee hopes to preserve the spirit of simplicity which alone can interpret the primitive and reverent ideal of the pageant and so asks for the assistance of all those who may be interested and are able to give their time and talent in any way. Any communications addressed to the Laguna Beach Pageant committee will reach the proper officials. We especially desire the cooperation. Saturday, June 4, 1918 FERTILIZER VALUE OF HAY IS TOLD "The value of spoiled hay and fertilizer for citrus groves depends entirely upon the class of hay used." was the statement made by L.G.Beth, manager of the Bastanchury rancho, before the members of the La Habra farm center. McBeth went on to say that barley hay, which is grown so extensively in Orange-co, has a very low nitrogen content which renders it useless for fertilizer. On the contrary, he said, oat and alfalfa hay each have a higher nitrogen content, which makes them more valuable as fertilizer. La Habra farm center will discontinue its meetings during July and August as so many of the members will be away, so the next meeting will be the September one. Bessica F.
