DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Oh! how impatience gains upon the soul, When the long promised hour draws near! How slow the tardy moments seem to roll! What specters rise of inconsistent fear—Mrs. Tight. Recall, this ship tying should be prohibited by law. PRERIGHTS ARE STRANGLING FRUIT INDUSTRY Ruinous is the situation that confronts the growers of fruits and vegetables in California. Transcontinental freight rates, so high as to preclude possibility of profitable marketing of this state's orchard and garden products, "is slowly but sure strangling to death" these great industries to use the words of Governor Stephens, who has made direct appeal to President Harding to bring about revision of those onerous rote. Most of the California growers have not realized production cost this season. Governor Stephens points out, and they are faced with probable heavy losses on crops which are yet to be marketed. Governor Stephens stresses the necessity of the situation and assures that if relief from excessive freight is not afforded immediately, many thousands of acres of food products, especially potatoes, will not be harvested, as the growers will be unable to receive at least the cost of production, after paying what seems to them prohibitive rates in the movement of their products." This is a deplorable condition. It is manifestly unjust—cruelly unjust to thousands of growers in California. And it also is monstrously unjust to the multitudes of poor people in the great cities who are languishing for food while these huge quantities of California products cannot be transported to them. MEXICAN TRADE MEET IS SUCCESSFUL The International Trade Congress, held recently in the City of Mexico, is looked upon by American trade exports who attended as a successful meeting. Besides the United States and Mexico, several Latin-American countries are those who, on the stage on the screen on the lecture, Virile indeed is the New Year's resolution alive and working order at this time. He who does the best he can and smiles while doing it, has done a man's part. What the people want is action by congress that will reduce taxation from the heavyweight to the lightweight class. The number of successful marriages is far in excess of the number of failures. President Harding, it is being demonstrated, can be firm when he feels that he should be. Cupid & Hymen are doing big business in California, just as they were no H. C. of L. problem. God has but one yardstick of moral accountability, and by it every man or woman, of whatever class or station is measure impartially. The art of keeping cool and unruffled is the simplest of arts. Because it is so simple is the reason so many do not practice the art. President and Mrs. Harding are extremely democratic in the tastes. "Just folks," they are, as Mrs. Harding said they would be. Achievements in air flight, which a few years ago, would have been considered marvelous, are today accepted as commonplace. The age of aeronautics has dawned. President Harding went to the Senate lunch-room in the Capitol to eat. But the waiter did not hold back in serving him to force a tip. If the foolkiller did his work fully and conscientiously there would not be a person left to ask that inane question. "Is it hot enough for you?" The moving picture is not inherently and inescapably bad. Far from it. It might, could and should be decidedly good and influential for good.

PLACENTIA, July 2 MEXICAN TRADE MEET IS SUCCESSFUL The International Trade Congress held recently in the City of Mexico is looked upon by American trade experts who attended as a successful meeting. Besides the United States and Mexico, several Latin-American republics were represented in the congress. No great immediate increase in trade between the United States and Mexico is anticipated. But as one prominent American business man in Mexico remarked, "the ice is broken; the buyer and the seller have gotten together; and it will be more difficult in the future for those agencies which have been systematically and pugnaciously at work for the last few years to prevent a better understanding between the two countries, to ply their trade; trade not only follows the flag, but trade conquers international barriers and prejudices. Commerce between the United States and Mexico has trebled within the last 10 years. Another trebling may be expected within the next few years, should Mexico continue in peace and tranquility and should relations with the United States continue to be amicable. WAR'S TAX BURDENS ARE VERY GRIEVYOUUS The chief items of cost of maintaining the United States government and meeting its huge departmental expenses have to do with war—wars that have been in the past, and present preparations against possible future wars. The Nation's war bill in the last fiscal year was nearly $4,000,000,000 in the previous year it was nearly $6,000,000,000. From 75 to more than 90 per cent of all governmental expenditures are on account of war. The longer the maintenance of hugh armaments goes on, the more burdensome will these outlays become. For the implements and weaponry of war, and the maintaining of armies and navies are vastly more expensive than in the past. The American people, and other civilized peoples, horrified beyond measure by the appalling carnage and the staggering monetary losses of the World War, and burdened with excessive taxation, are demanding, in desperate earnest, that ways and means be found to put an end to warfare—to banish from the earth the mighty armaments that make great wars possible. The state of California loses a faithful and very proficient public official with the realization of State Controller John S. Chambers. President Harding is calling a conference of the Allied powers to consider disarmament and solving of problems of the Pacific and Far East, has sounded a note of peace and amity President Harding went to the Senate lunch-room in the Capitol to eat. Bet the waiter did not hold back in serving him to force a tip. If the foolkiller did his work fully and conscientiously there would not be a person left to ask that inane question, "Is it hot enough for you?" The moving picture is not inherently and inescapably bad. Far from it, it might, could and should be decidedly good and influential for good. Blessed are those who, on the stage, on the screen, on the lecture platform, in books, in the press, in the daily contacts of life, make others smile. Reduction of armaments by the leading nations of the world soon may become more than an "irridiculous dream"—soon may become a glorious reality. President and Mrs. Harding have just celebrated their thirtieth wedding anniversary. Another successful marriage. There are great numbers of them, all over the land. California is blest with delightful spots for vacation outings. Every taste can be suited—mountains, seashore, woodlands, inland lakes, trips, canyons, and so on and so on. Every patriot should aid in efforts to eradicate illiteracy. The fight against ignorance should proceed until the last illiterate has been turned into a literate. Should civilization continue to nurse mighty armaments to its bosom, warfare will continue, and become the poison asp to sting civilization to death. President Harding's persistent assertion of purpose to cut down federal taxes is pleasing to the people. Retrenchment that really retrenches is what the people want. Mr. Taft, in becoming Chief Justice, attains unto his fondest ambition. He is intensely gratified to occupy that exalted post and the people are gratified to have him there. The farmer should have a fair price for his products. But the consumer should have farm products at a fair price. No class should benefit excessively at the expense of the consumer. President Harding has been in the White House long enough to be impressed with the fact that there are a few men in the country who do not let the office seek the man. Cables, telegraphs, swift transportation, newspapers—all contribute to make this a little old world, with the Eastern and Western, and Northern and Southern hemisphere's living in each other's dooryards, so to speak. If five great powers should agree to limit armaments and amicably adjust all their controversies, the world It Is Economy To Use Cord Tires It is proof positive with the automobile manufacturers that it pays to use CORD TIRES as all popular makes of cars are coming equipped with them.

BUREAU ELEVATOR DOES BIG BUSINESS Farmers Showing Confidence in Their Own Grain Corporation Reports are coming to Orange-co-grain men that the Farm Bureau grain elevators at Oakland are receiving daily large shipments of barley and wheat from the Sacramento and San Joaquin valley districts. Harvesting is going in full swing up there now. The Farm Bureau terminal elevator has a capacity of 1,200,000 bushels and is prepared to turn this over six or eight time during the season if water shipments warrant. Preliminary steps will soon be taken by the grain growers of Orange-co to establish an elevator in the El Toro and Capistrano section which will be a part of the Farm Bureau system. A terminal elevator at San Pedro will serve the local county elevators. John Osterman, grain director of the local Farm Bureau Board, is negotiating with the State Farm Bureau Federation for assistance in organizing a co-operative elevator service here. A second-hand bag service has just been announced to the grain growers of the state. These may be obtained through the Farm Bureau office at Santa Ana. The California Farm Bureau Elevator Corporation has on hand for re-sale a quantity of used burlap grain bags which are being offered at reasonable prices f. o. b. Oakland. These bags are new this year and have been used for shipment of sacked grain once. The bags run free from holes, though may be slightly nicked at ears due to emptying processes. The bags can be used for sacking grain; potatoes; mill feeds; rolled barley and general purposes. They are offered as follows: In lots up to 3000 at 4c each; in lots over 3000 up to 10,000 at 3½ cents each; in lots over 10,000 at 3 cents each. Quotations are f. o. b. cars at Oakland. ASK FOR BOOST IN RATES H. Stanley Benedict, of the railroad commission, conducted a hearing at Olive on the application of the Olive Milling Co. for an increase in the rates on domestic water served to the people of Olive. None Ever Starved By Over-Production By Paul A. Alshielmer, Vice President Merantile Trust Co., San Francisco. The temporary difficulty of bringing industry into its normal relationship with all that this entails, has naturally created a certain amount of confusion. It certainly does not warrant the brooding pessimism which shows a tendency to become fashionable in certain quarters. The experience is not pleasant, but it is a passing, and not a fixed condition. A country’s economic condition is fairly well reflected in its national credit. The credit of the United States has become the standard of th Worldwide This is the real barometer for financial forecasting. We are inclined to forget that our country has met and successfully overcome. Washington undertook the rehabilitation of a nation ravaged by war, whose bonds had been selling at 25 cents on the dollar. Five years later they were selling at par. It was the relief of the prevailing economic distress of the time that Washington regarded as his first duty in assuming the Presidency. His words are worth recalling. He wrote to Lafayette: My endeavors shall be unremittingly exerted, even at the hazard of former fame or present popularity, to extricate my country from the embarrassments in which it is entangled through want of credit; and to establish a general system of policy, which if purposed will insure permanent facility to the Commonwealth. I think I see a path clear and direct as a ray of light, which leads to the attainment of that object. Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry and frugality, are necessary to make us a great and happy people. Happily the present posture of affairs, and the prevailing disposition of my countrymen, promise to co-operate in establishing those four great and essential pillars of public felicity." The “four great and essential pillars” which Washington enumerates are as necessary today anthen—HARMONY, HONESTY, INDUSTRY AND FRUGALITY. The wealth of a nation does not lie in things, but in its people. There was as much natural wealth in America when Columbus discovered it 400 years ago as there is today.

Little Dorothy Goodmanson was quite painfully hurt but not seriously injured when she fell from her father's auto at the corner of Main and Santa Fe as the machine was turning a corner. She was taken to Dr. Kay's office at once, where her lacerations and bruises of her face were dressed and then removed to her home. Mrs. Clay of the Clay hotel has bought the lunchroom on Santa Fe just west of the Acme Dry Cleaners and has secured S. L. Sliger to handle the business for her.

Stanley Benedict, of the railroad commission, conducted a hearing at Olive on the application of the Olive Milling Co. for an increase in the rates domestic water served to the people of Olive. The Olive Milling Co. and the Olive Improvement Assn. were represented at the hearing. The application set forth that the present minimum rate of $1.25 per thousand cubic feet of water does not produce sufficient operating revenue to sustain the plant. After hearing arguments Commissioner Benedict took the application under advisement. A request by residents of Olive for the extension of gas service to that place was also laid before the commissioner.

Have You Heard About Vitamines? They are Life Forces Scientists have found that our bodies need certain food elements to keep them fit. Most of us are familiar with the proteins, carbohydrates, fats and mineral salts that make up our daily diet. However, it has recently been found that there is another element needed for a well balanced food regimen. This element is the VITAMINE.

Ride in a 1922 Model Now! ANAHEIM AUTO CO. Wm. Goodrum Prop. ANAHEIM FULLERTON Buick Distributor for Northern Orange County They are Life Forces Scientists have found that our bodies need certain food elements to keep them fit. Most of us are familiar with the proteins, carbohydrates, fats and mineral salts that make up our daily diet. However, it has recently been found that there is another element needed for a well balanced food regimen. This element is the VITAMINE, and as yet little is known about it, except that it is one of the vital life forces we must have in order to keep healthy. Butter and butter fats have been found to contain a large number of vitamins. Consequently, the importance of placing plenty of butter and milk on the daily diet list cannot be over-estimated. Children especially need plenty of foods rich in butter fat, as it has been proven that vitamins are absolutely indispensable in the diet of the growing child. Such being the importance of the Vitamine, it behooves those of us who value our health and that of our families to be sure to include a large order for butter and milk on the daily grocery list. Fresh Butter In order to be at its best, butter should always be fresh. Whether used for cooking purposes or as a spread for bread, its fine flavor can be appreciated much more when it has come fresh from the dairy. Orange County Butter is made fresh daily and is delivered all over the county. Just call up the Ex-colior Creamery, 227 in Santa Ana, 346 in Fullerton, or 117 in Anaheim, and tell them to send you a pound of butter. You'll appreciate the difference.

CREAM PUFFS Published By THE EXCELSIOR CREAMERY CO. Published Monthly in This Paper No. 2 Summer Salads In the summer time one of the mainstays of the meal is a cooling salad. Many people do not realise the number of delightful summer salads that can be made with cottage cheese. For a plain and very easily prepared salad, a mound of cottage cheese in a nest of lettuce leaves, garnished with a shred of green pepper makes a very attractive dish. Cottage cheese mixed with pimento is delicious, and is very pretty if served on lettuce with strips of the pimiento laid across. A slice of pineapple lard on a lettuce leaf, with a spoonful of cottage cheese and perhaps a bit of mayonnaise dressing added, makes a nice sweet salad. Cottage cheese which has been mixed with thousand island dressing is delicious when served on lettuce with crisp salad crackers. A rather unusual sweet salad may be made by chopping fresh cherries and mixing them through cottage cheese, placing a mound of the mixture on a lettuce leaf and garnishing with one perfect cherry in the center of the mound. When you make those attractive salads, be sure to order your cottage cheese from the Excelsior Use More Milk for Cooking We all know that it is good for our health to drink milk, and most of us make use of this knowledge. But there are other ways of getting the benefits of milk in addition to drinking it. Milk may be used in cooking in a great variety of ways. Not only does it make delicious cream gravises and sauces, but it can be made the basis of coolloped dishes and tasty soups. There are many cooked desserts which can be made either from milk alone or with milk added to other ingredients. Junket and casards are delightful desserts for warm summer days. A pleasant drink, which might be called "Custard Nectar" is made by taking one cup of milk, a boasted egg, and a tablespoonful of sugar and either beating them together with a Dover egg whip or putting them into a cream whiper whipping till smooth in texture and an even golden in color. This is also served with old fashioned sugar cookies. He Didn't Drink Excelsior Milk Senior: "What makes you little?" Freshman: "My mother fed me on canned milk and I'm condensed." The Parable of the Egg Once upon a time there was one little egg. This little egg was the only one in the world, and so it became very proud and held itself above the rest of the foods. It said "I know I am supposed to be food for man, but there is only one of me, so man is afraid to eat me up." But one day old Mother Nature heard the little egg boasting and she decided that she would cure it of such a selfish way of living. So she came up to the little egg where it was keeping itself haughtily apart, and said: "Little egg you should not boast, for you are no better than the rest of the things I made for man to eat. Herpatter, there shall be enough of you so that every one can have at least one egg for breakfast every morning. But that this may be so, it is necessary that you hatch out a chicken, who in turn will hatch more eggs till there are enough in the world." So that is how the first little egg was punished for boasting, and that is why you can have eggs for your breakfast. Don't forget to get YOUR breakfast eggs at the Excelsior Creamery, where they are fresh every day. Ice Cream at Home Most ice cream served at home is served plain. While Excelsior Ice Cream is delicious served that way, there are many ways in which it can be made even more attractive. A dish of vanilla ice cream with home-made strawberry jam poured over it is a dish fit for a king, and the family will welcome it enthusiastically. In fact any fruit jam may be used to make a "mandad" at home. Hot chocolate fudge made a little thinner than where it is intended for candy, with a few chopped walnuts in it when poured over a dish of Excelsior Ice Cream makes a dessert that is almost a meal in itself. Fresh cherries may be pitted and halved to garnish a dish of ice cream for the afternoon caller. Don't forget that Excelsior Ice Cream is the basis of these pleasant ways of serving such delicious dishes at home. Call up the Excelsior Creamery in Santa Ana, 237, or the "Milk Bottle" in Fullerton, or if you live in Anaheim, call 127, and have some Excelsior Creamade immediately.
