DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS There's not a day, but, to the man of thought, Betrays some secret, that throws new reproach On life, and makes him sick of seeing more—Young. A phenomenon of the day is the heavy fog of silent obscurity which has descended upon one Francisco Villa. And, the irony of the situation is, Judge Landis cannot hold his American Bar association critics in contempt of court. Detroit's most famous maker of them is doing his best to make it possible for everybody to afford one, by reducing the price every few months. The Golden Age will dawn when nations spend more to foster human life and to make it happier and better, and less on destroying life and property in warfare. Sir Thomas Lipton is to try again for the America's cup. Sir Thomas is working the "try, try again" adage to a frazzle. But Americans admire his sportsmanly pluck. There is so much dumbness when there is something good to be said of someone, and so much logucity when there is something bad—real or ima-llined—to be said. The American Bar association, in baseball parlance, would put Judge Landis on the bench. But this could be accomplished only by putting him off—the judicial bench. Best of all, the feeding of sturving Russians by Americans is done without ulterior, sordid motives. Sheer goodness of heart and humand feelings prompt the philanthropy. Marconi believes he has intercepted wireless messages from Mars and he finds something resembling the code for the letter "V." May be some financially embarrassed Martian trying to negotiate a small loan down here on earth. President Harding, at any rate, is not suffering any ultra-idealistic illusions or delusions as to the coming PICNIC ON CHURCH GROUNDS ENJOYED GARDEN GROVE, Sept. 17. — The Junior and Intermediate classes of the M. E. Sunday school enjoyed a social time and weiner bake on the church grounds Monday evening. About 50 were present.

Wilson Blackburn and family of Emporia Kan., have been visiting at the B. J. Collins home.

John Ward went to Los Angeles Tuesday to purchase goods for the vulcanizing and tire business which he purchased Monday from Charles Hewins on Euclid avenue. The place was open today and ready for business. The K. E. Spain family of Long Beach was in Garden Grove last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. N.

Mareoni believes he has intercepted wireless messages from Mars and he finds something resembling the code for the letter "V." May be some financially embarrassed Martian trying to negotiate a small loan down here on earth. President Harding, at any rate, is not suffering any ultra-idealistic illusions or delusions as to the coming of universal peace for all time, with no need of armaments. The President wishes this. But there is a vast gulf, oftentimes between a wish and an expectation or a probability. Jessie Bonstelle who is making her debut as a New York producer after several seasons of running her own stock company, is the only woman member of the Producing Managers' Association, having just been elected. "The Triumph of X," Miss Bonstelle's introduction to Broadway, is a play of the battle between the qualities ingrained in one by inheritance, and developed by environment on one side, and "X" the unknown quantity, the unique quality of the individual's soul, on the other. Commercialism! Commercialism! The newest source of revenue to the Long Island fishermen is the letting out of advertising space on the sails of their boats. You can't get away from Times Square any more. Just when you're basking in the sunshine on the sand, up careens a fishing boat, telling you in bright painted letters that you must chew gum and what kind! One more victim to the lure of work! Mrs. Louise Townsend Montant, of Manhattan's society with a capital S, has not only gone into business as others of her group have done this year but she declares that she is going to be one of the actual workers in her shop—which is nothing more romantic than a dress-making establishment. She has even gone farther than that; she is opening the shop in her mother's home. STRAW AS AN ORCHARD HUMUS-MAKER Where cover crops cannot be grown for plowing under while green, the practice of spreading straw, especially bean straw, over the surface of the ground, and plowing it under is to be recommended. Organic matter in the soil, however it may be secured, is a necessity, and in our arid sections, where orcharding is one of the big industries, there always is a scarcity of humus, the product of plant decay. Heavy soils which cement badly lose moisture quickly and refuse to take moisture readily when irrigation water is applied, also are greatly improved by the plowing under of bean straw in the early spring.

The easing is to be performed now at 3590 feet and a test made at that point. It will be remembered that in the drilling a showing of oil and gas was reported at 3500 feet. The General Petroleum has entered into a working agreement with the United Oil Company to drill Carpenter No. 2. Drilling is now under way at 600 feet. On the Davis lease the G. P. has No. 1 on production and to date the well is making close to 60 per cent water. The well was drilled to 32427. Group 4-3 drilling at 3356 in sandy shale. Hugo No. 2 is in the oil sand at 3400 and looks good. Yorba No. 1 drilled to 3427 continues to pump free water, the well today having made no oil. At 3200 feet the Placentia Oil Co. began getting nice showings of oil. The showings continued so strong and pipe set at 2980. The Placentia and pipe set at 2980. The Placentia Company has every reason to believe a well is in sight. The biggest well of the month just closed is the Petroleum Midways Krug No. 4. This giant producer brought in last week at 3035 feet at 1200 barrel well and has increased its production to 1260 barrels. The oil is 21 gravity. Krug No. 5 is on a production test at 2800. Krug No. 6 spudded in and is drilling at 450 feet. The Petroleum Midway will have a fourth well producing for the Richfield Consolidated soon. No. 4 is drilling at 2275 and is nearing the oil sands. Preparations are being made to drill the cement out at Richfield-Yorba No. 2 drilled to 4675 and cemented at 4157. It is only a matter of a day or so now until the Richfield-Giant's big well will be a reality. Drilled to 4204 feet and a successful water shut off made at 3922, the well is ready to bring in. According to the showing the well made more than a month ago, the well is expected to start off at not less than a thousand barrels. From all indications the Richfield Union Petroleum's No. 1 has shut off water at 3185 and the well is ready to drill on into the oil sands. At the producer, At 2600 p showing of gas was the first encouragement; now the formation carries a lot of gas and good strong showings of real oil. The big well brought in by the Selby-Root-Horge Oil Co. on the Claxon-Wardman property at Placentia has settled down from 960 barrels to an 800 barrel well. No. 3 spudded in and is drilling at 450. At No. 4 the rig destroyed by fire is being rebuilt and the cement will be drilled out and the well brought in soon. No. 5 is a rig. The Standard Oil Co. drilled Lofus O'Bryan No. 1 to 5097 and Vejar No. 1 to 5153 and neither of the deep holes showed anything very encouraging. The wells are standing awaiting orders and there is a possibility that they may be abandoned. On the Kramer No. 2 property No. 16 is drilling at 2700 feet and No. 17 at 2600. Cuff No. 1 drilled to 3620 is on a production test at 3425. The Wonder Co. Ltd's No. 2 on the Kraemer home place is the deep well of the property. At 4400 a nice showing of oil was struck and drilling is continuing. No. 3 spudded in a week ago and shows close to 1500 feet of hole. On the Chapman property the Union Oil Company has No. 5 drilling in the oil sand at 4055 and the well will be ready for production soon. Nos. 18 and 19 drilled out the cement at 2940 and 2950 and are ready to proceed.-No. 14 stands cemented at 3550. On the Thompson-Goodwin lease No. 3 is drilling at 2000 and No. 4 at 3200.

Drilled to 4204 feet and a successful water shut off made at 3822, the well is ready to bring in. According to the showing the well made more than a month ago, the well is expected to start off at not less than a thousand barrels.

The Richfield-Yorba Oil Co. increased the size of the perforations in the oil string and increased the well's output from 50 to 100 barrels. Completed at 3585 the well shows considerable oil but seems to produce under difficulties. Should the production not increase further the well will be deepened. The excellent showing in the Ridge Oil Company well announced last week continues and at the present depth of 3822 feet the well looks like it would make a commercial pro- Group 1 is now on production and doing about 225 barrels.
