DAILY GREETING TO OUR HEADERS We marred solitude divine retreat! Choice of the prudent, navy of the great! By the pure stream, or in thy waving shade, His coast fair Wisdom, that celestial guide—Young. Principle should be "almighty," not the dollar. Less war and more work is a fine formula for Europe. Europe's greatest need, at present, is to unsnarl itself. "Cleanliness is next to godliness," and the one inspires the other. The Panama Canal is a jewel in the Nation's crown of vital assets. The dawn of better times will be at hand when Europe can be classified by specimen. Europe will right itself, economically by making the making of necessities instead of war, its chief industry. Mr. Edison has asked some questions that are echoing around the world, but the correct answers are not in the reverberations. The United States welcomes the better type of immigrants from Europe. But there is no welcome for the make-trouble family of aliens. American genius and energy must be the main reliance for the upbuilding of American industry. Artificial stimulants alone would not promote development. The U. S. does not maintain great armament because it desires war, but to prevent war. It proceeds on the theory that the nation which is prepared to defend itself is not likely to be compelled to defend itself. Sound sense and practical judgment must be in evidence in formulating an association of nations to STRIVE FOR NAVAL BASES ON THE PACIFIC The American fleet is to be divided between the two oceans, for the time being, at least. If this coast were well equipped with bases, there is strong probability that practically the whole fleet would be sent to these waters. That "if" stands in the way of unquestionably adequate national defense in the Pacific. Until that "if" is knocked out, there will be room to question the adequacy of defense, in these waters, against a first-class naval power. To this end, therefore, public sentiment in the Pacific west should be aroused. Congress should be urged insistently to make appropriations for great naval bakes along this coast. Systematic, persistent, urging of Congress should be undertaken by individuals and by organizations in this section. In event of war, the U. S. would be very seriously handicapped for base facilities. To make naval defense all that it should be, this coast should have great bases as soon as it is possible to construct them. Swan Tract Residents Appeal for City Water (Continued from page 1) er the cleanest and purest which can be proven by an unblased official investigation before the tanks have been cleaned. How can the water be clean and pure when the tank has not been cleaned out for perhaps years and when same is not protected by any covering at all? A thorough official investigation will prove who is falsely accused in this question. We want no favor from W. S. B. Lawrie. We want that which we pay for, not what can be spared from his own needs. We are paying enough money to supply a great deal more than we need—and we haven't enough to do ordinary home cooking, much less for other needs. Mr. Lawrie takes exception to anyone having few garden plants and spends much COUNTY IN RAPIDI That the ten thousand census of 1920 was a perennial development in Orlando figures count just received from the Bureau.

Artificial stimulants alone would not promote development. The U.S. does not maintain great armament because it desires war, but to prevent war. It proceeds on the theory that the nation which is prepared to defend itself is not likely to be compelled to defend itself. Sound sense and practical judgment must be in evidence in formulating an association of nations to which the U.S. and all the great powers would give assent and active support. It is to be hoped that this year may not pass away without the consummating of a compact, with the U.S. the leading moral force therein. The Pacific west is entitled to and should have favorable rail freight rates, both eastward and westward. With the systematic development of water transportation by way of the canal to and from the east, this section will be in position to demand lower rail freights and to enforce the demand, thus effectual competition. Respect for law and government should not be undermined in this country particularly among the young. Children should be trained to manifest this respect. It should not be merely outward showing, but a deep seated feeling of respect. Elders cannot teach this effectively, however, unless they themselves set the proper example before the young. They, too, must show sincere respect for constituted authority and for governmental laws and regulations. The best brains of the nation, devoid of prejudice, may well be enlisted in the solving of the problem of the railroads. More academic theories offer no definite or satisfactory solution. The business judgment of the country should be drawn upon for a broad, open-minded, business-like consideration of every angle of the complex transportation situation. The nation should have the benefit of the best plans that can be devised for the successful operation of the roads, with fair wages paid to rail employees and with fair rates charged shippers. TOLEDO SAYING IT WITH FLOWERS TO MOOSE The city of Toledo soon to entertain the national supreme convention of the Loyal Order of Moose, has struck upon a novel and beautiful plan to make that metropolis of northwestern Ohio attractive to its visitors. The plan is to convert Toledo into a variable garden of flowers. The movement to this end was started several months ago. These two sloughs have been dinned up and down the streets and avenues of Toledo: "Plant Flowers in Every Spot." Let us have water under the same condition as the city of Anaheim extends to all its water users (just across the width of the highway from us.) If we have the water we are willing to pay. But if we don't get the water, why pay the exorbitant rate demanded for nothing. Undoubtedly the solution given by clean and pure when the tank has not been cleaned out for perhaps years and when same is not protected by any covering at all? A thorough official investigation will prove who is falsely accused in this question. We want no favor from W.S.B. Lawrie. We want that which we pay for, not what can be spared from his own needs. We are paying enough money to supply a great deal more than we need—and we haven't enough to do ordinary home cooking, much less for other needs. Mr. Lawrie takes exception to anyone having a few garden plants and spends much of his precious time in investigating how the water is being used. For an example, a new family came here from New Mexico. Only two days here, the children, not knowing of the water conditions here and needing water with which to prepare food, obtained a bucketful of water. Mr. Lawrie deliberately took the bucket of water away from them and throw it upon the ground. Their mother came and asked me for a pail of water. I gave it to her. That same evening, Mr. Lawrie came to my place and asked me if I was selling water to the Mexicans. I told him straight: "No, I am not selling water to anyone and you may take a pail of water away from a few children and throw it on the ground but I pay for my water and will not refuse a pail of water to anyone if I have it to share." He says the Mexicans here are a bad lot, that they steal his water and that it simply isn't in them to keep clean, that there is sickness raging here all the time and that they will not pay their water bills. I ask, if the inclination to have homes of their own, sacrificing little pleasures in order to save enough from their daily wage with which to pay for their homes, and if they can produce their receipted water bills, should the water king of the San Diego Trust Co. brand them as "no gand," "thieves," etc. Let him prove all these accusations. He says he is a private individual, that his water is his own and that he can charge what he pleases and that we must meet his demands in advance or he turns off the water. Somehow I am under the impression that when even a private individual takes the responsibility of supplying the public with water for a matter of eight or nine years and for a steep financial consideration, that his supply of water becomes more or less public property and in this instance we want only what we pay for. W.S.B. Lawrie is the sole caretaker of his water plant. We are not to blame for the wormout condition and breakdown of his plant. Let us have water under the same condition as the city of Anaheim extends to all its water users (just across the width of the highway from us.) If we have the water we are willing to pay. But if we don't get the water, why pay the exorbitant rate demanded for nothing. Undoubtedly the solution given by clean and pure when the tank has not been cleaned out for perhaps years and when same is not protected by any covering at all? TOLEDO SAYING IT WITH FLOWERS TO MOOSE The city of Toledo, soon to entertain the national supreme convention of the Loyal Order of Moose, has struck upon a novel and beautiful plan to make that metropolis of northwestern Ohio attractive to its visitors. The plan is to convert Toledo into a veritable garden of flowers. The movement to this end was started several months ago. These two slogans have been dinned up and down the streets and avenues of Toledo: "Plant Flowers in Every Spot Where Flowers Can Be Made to Grow," and "Welcome the Moose With Flowers." Consequently, the planning of flowers has been an enthusiastic activity of residents of that city until it is literally abloom for the occasion. Pasadena should emphasize this feature. It fortunately, is blessed and adorned with an abundance of flowers at all seasons. No special drive is needed here, to make the city bloom as the rose. But it would not be amiss to direct attention or convention visitors and others to Pasadena's welcome of flowers. It would be well to stress this when the Elks come here in July. DISABLED VETERANS IN CONVENTION SOON There will assemble in Detroit, in a few days, a convention of pathetic interest—the first annual gathering of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War. There will be a parade in which will be floats visualizing the problems confronting the disabled soldier and what is being done to aid him. Uel Lamkin, director of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, will be one of the speakers before the convention. He has 77,000 disabled soldiers in training and will tell about their activities. Here is an assemblage that should touch the tender chords of all true Americans. These brave men are living tragedies. Maimed in physical body, their spirits are undaunted. But they must needs have grateful help. They became helpless in the service of their country and of freedom. They, in their crippled state, are displaying the same high courage that they manifested on the battlefield. They should not lankish from neglect. An appreciative nation and people should care for them tenderly. If it's from Witman's, It's Good! THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNTY DEVELOPS RAPIDLY IN 10 YRS. That the ten year period between the census of 1910 and the census of 1920 was a period of tremendous development in Orange county, is shown in figures contained in a summary just received by the Plain Dealer from the Bureau of Census. The most remarkable strides of the period were made in the production of oranges and lemons. In 1908, three were, according to the census report, 479,274 orange trees in Orange county and the production that year was 1,247,905 boxes. In 1919, orange trees had increased in number to 1,432,578 and the number of boxes shipped that year reached 3,482,304. In 1909 there were, according to lemon trees in the county and the shipments of lemons totaled 74,227 boxes. In 1919 the lemon trees numbered 490,204 and the shipments totaled 868,773 boxes. No figures are given for the walnut productions and acreage. Hay in 1909 occupied 47,250 acres and the production was 84,426 tons, and in 1919 the acreage was down to 33,759 and the tonnage to 36,474. Dry beans in 1909 took 21,186 acres and produced 402,951 bushels. In 1919 the acreage devoted to dry beans was 36,759 and the production was 481,959 bushels. In 1910 there were 3,165 farms in Orange county; in 1920 there were 4,188. The gain was $22.3 per cent. The most gratifying of the comparative figures given in the summary are those showing that Orange county's development during the ten year period between the census of 1910 and the census of 1920 was along the line of own-owned farms. Orange county is the only county in So. Calif., that in 1920 had fewer farms operated by tenants than it had in 1910. Orange county's gain in the number of farms operated by owners and managers was 38.8 per cent. Its loss in the number of farms operated by others was not specified. BOY SCOUTS MAY CAMP, UPON RIVER Boy scouts of Orange co are mountain scouts. That is, they prefer mountains to seashore. For that reason scouting officials are considering the establishment of a summer camp on the Santa Ana river. A few days ago it was reported that there was a fine camping site at the mouth of Alliso canyon. Many of the boys reported to their scout-masters that they go to the beaches frequently for outings a day at a time, and because they do get to the beach often they wanted the summer camp to be in the hills. Scout Executive E. E. Heldt yesterday looked over a number of possible sites along the Santa Ana river where the boys can have swimming and mountain hiking combined. The question of a site will be determined at a meeting of the county council of the Boy Scouts this evening. YORBA LINDA FARM CENTER ENDS YEAR YORBA LINDA, June 23. (Spl.)—The Y. L. Farm Center held their last meeting of the season at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Horne on Tuesday evening. There were slightly more than 40 present and an interesting meeting was enjoyed. The program included a talk on "The Farm Tractor" by Mr. Starbuck of Fullerton. "Farm Bureau Activities in San Joaquin Valley" by Mr. M. Horne and music by Mrs. B. M. Wern. It was decided to form an avocado section and committees were appointed to see after this and about having a picnic soon in Orange-co. Park. Mr. Wahlberg was present and spoke of a home section for the ladies and a committee was appointed to investigate this. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Knight have been spending a few days at Santa Barbara. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Gilman were beach visitors Sunday. Misses Dena Jepson and Halile Alice have been spending a few days with an aunt at Pasadena. JUST THE GIST Not so warm. Rain and thunder in Fresno. So, Cali Editors gather at Venice today.

Ocean travelers may now purchase tickets direct from L. A. to Oregon. Second annual convention of California Federation of Business and Professional Women open today at Trinity auditorium, L. A. Pueblo in need of more assistance. The most gratifying of the parative figures given in the summary are those showing that Orange county's development during the ten year period between the census of 1910 and the census of 1920 was along the line of own-owned farms. Orange county is the only county in So. Calif. that in 1920 had fewer farms operated by tenants than it had in 1910. Orange county's gain in the number of farms operated by owners and managers was 38.8 per cent. Its loss in the number of farms operated by tenants was 2 per cent. These figures are looked upon as remarkable evidence of the stability of the county's growth during the ten year period. The increase, on the face of these figures, was in permanent land owners. The exact figures given by the census bureau for this comparison are: Number of farms operated in 1910 by owners and managers, 2,659; number in 1920, 3,692. Number of farms operated by tenants in 1910, 506; in 1920, 496. According to the census report, the number of farms operated in 1910 by white farmers was 3,080 and in 1920 the number was 4,019, a gain of 30.5 per cent. The number operated by colored farmers (evidently the census bureau applied the word "colored" to Japanese) in 1910 was 85 and in 1920 the number was 169, a gain of 98.8 per cent. The use of the word "farm" is not made clear in the summary. Evidently, however, both cultivated and uncultivated lands are considered farms. The summary shows 189,-463 acres as improved in 1910 and 200,945 as improved in 1920, a gain of 6.1 per cent. Other figures given by the census bureau's summary are as follows: Value of land and buildings: Jan. 1, 1920, $188,230,541. April 15, 1910, $60,613,550. Increase, 1910-1920: Amount, $107,716,991. Per cent, 177.7. The census takers counted the number of domestic animals in the county. That is, they made inquiry of owners, and the totals gathered by the bureau follow. Number of farms reporting domestic animals Jan. 1, 1920, 2,858; April 15, 1910, 2,862.
