DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS It is not sin to wish the spirit free. From the dull bondage of this suffering clay. When every joy, that charmed it once, must be A hated thing from which it turns away. —W. C. Lodge. Sovietizing of Russia has not been that country's salvation, by any means. The return of prosperity must come through the co-operation of all classes. As the deer season opens, so does the season for fairy tales by returning hunters. Santa Claus will have a load this year to make those celebrated reindeer of his pant. It's as easy for Babe Ruth to get a home run as it is for a hungry boy to eat pie at a picnic. When a community buries its factional hatchets, there is a burial that should bring rejoicing, not grief. President Harding takes outings frequently. But he does enough to earn that $75,000 a year, never fear. The nation which does not favor disarmament upon safe and just conditions, has something radically wrong with it. Babe Ruth has been impartial with the pitcher who have confronted him this season. He has taken home runs from all of them. It is crass selfishness that is loading mankind down with burdens and evils. Selfishness must be subdued and chained, or it will ruin the world. The whole trend of world sentiments... New York Letter NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—In spite of the general assumption that we live more and more astronomically as every Year goes by; that the good old, leisurely days are past; and that we pursue the diminishing dollar more hectically with each happy New Year; as a matter of fact, holidays spread their vacationing wider today than ever they did in our fathers' times. One person out of every five in this whole city of New York spent the Labor day week-end out of town. According to the railroads' check-ups, we find that 1,000-000 New Yorkers, a completely unprecedented number, took advantage of workless Friday night to Thursday morning and hied themselves somewhere to green fields or surf shores. Then the motorists easily added 100,000 to this number. Theatres are fine things, of course, and we make no plaint at their multipling structures. But it does seem too bad that they, as well as other business buildings, have to mean the tearing down of some of our most interesting and historic dwellings. For instance, the Greenwich Village theatre, down in Sheridan Square, at Greenwich avenue and Twelfth st., is built upon the site where stood for many years the home of Clemenceau, "The Tiger," and where he practiced medicine while he lived in New York. Since that time until it was torn down to make way for the theatre, it was the home of a whole coterie of artists and writers. Nothing in the whole world of art is more interesting in tradition than are Oriental rugs. Even if they are not beautiful they would be fascinating. I saw the largest circular one in the world the other day on that ever WAS in the world. It is 30 feet in diameter—fancy that! As it lay on the floor of the circular lounge of the Ambassador Hotel, I thought it was the loveliest thing I had ever seen. It seems that it goes back to the Renaissance for its replica, the Sixteenth century when India and lowlands, and it was scattered with love birds, which hold such magic place in the lore of India. The day that the first stone of the Ambassador Hotel was put in place, Ohan Berberyan was given the order for a rug to fit this reception room. Probably no precious rug in the world is unknown to this man, so he instantly sent a man to the Punjab with instructions to have that little rug of Shah Jehan's completed, exactly — only many times as large — and by the same kind of Kashmir weavers who worked under the Sixteenth century rulers. The exact colors and design were achieved and this lovely shadow of the Renaissance is now in our modern hotel. The entire environs of New York are agitated over what to Edward Haskell, of Elizabeth, N. J., seems a perfectly natural and reasonable thing to do. Two years ago his wife died, and was buried in a handsome $10,000 mausoleum. The other day his pet cat died and Mr. Haskell is preparing to place its body in the same mausoleum, enclosed in a purple velvet casket, after "simple funeral services." He sees no reason for the disturbed attitude of his friends and neighbors over the plan. The great deal of unemployment is still crowded park benches where sit the unemployed throughout these sunny days. But sometimes one wonder if the situation is as serious as it looks to the unlitified. The other day, for instance, a philanthropically interested man talked to some of the jobless park population in an effort to find out how they were really situated. He got some interesting information on the difficulties of employment. One man, for example, explained his position thus: "Why am I sitting here instead of looking for a job? Because there's no use in looking until cooler weather comes. I'm an awning man. I take down awnings, you see. And while this all that is unclearly suggestive, mean and debasing should be taken from and perpetually kept out of pictures. And the many thousands of decent men and women engaged in the making of pictures should disapprove very vigorously such drunken revelas those sponsored by Arbuckle, from which tragedy came. Moving pictures and those who make them should be "cleaned from within." If not cleansed from within, the public will force the cleaning from without. Main facts about crimes are legitimate news. But not column after column of demoralizing, disgusting details, publication of which serves no good purpose whatever.

As it lay on the floor of the circular lounge of the Ambassador Hotel, I thought it was the loveliest thing I had ever seen. It seems that it goes back to the Renaissance for its replica, the Sixteenth century when India and Persia were moved by the same spirit that France and Italy knew. When Louis XIV was serving as a patron of arts in France, Shah Johan was doing the same thing in India. And he had woven for him the wonderful circular rug which now reposes in the Art Museum of Vienna. He chose to have it different from most Orientals and instead of the warm colors that usually dominate them, this was done in dull, cool blues and yelder. What Other Papers Say "Nothing Doing" in the Way of a $25,000 Contribution to the "All the Year" Club (Santa Ana Register) The register is utterly and unalterably opposed to the proposition that Orange-co shall contribute $25,000 to the "All the Year" club or any other club, league or association—for the purpose of co-operative community advertising in national newspapers and magazines. This proposition is to be presented for consideration at the meeting of the A.C. of C. at Huntington Beach, next Wednesday, and the Register respectfully suggests that delegates think twice—or three times, if necessary—before giving their approval. Co-operative advertising is all right. "All-the-Year" advertising is good. But for Orange-co to contribute $25,000 to a fund to be expended by Los Angeles—least under the direction and control of Los Angeles—while many other counties in a position to be more largely benefitted than Orange, contribute only $2000 or $5000—well, that is something else again." The theory upon which Orange-coquoia is placed so much higher than that of Riverside or San Bernardino, for instance, is that it is closer to Los Angeles and has a better summer climate and is therefore in a position to derive more benefit from the proposed advertising than the interior counties. Moreover, the "All the Year Club" needs the money; and Orange-co has it. But while it is true that Orange-co is more accessible from Los Angeles and has a better summer climate than Riverside, for instance, it is also true that Riverside has a great tourist hotel and is much more widely known and has a far better reputation as a tourist resort than any of the towns of Orange-co. These advantages, these assets susceptible of being capitalized thus national advertising, more than offset in that respect the advantages of Orange-co. The Register would not oppose the endorsement by the A.C. of C. of a proposition to raise an equitable quota of the "All the Year Club," fund; but it feels confident that it expresses the sentiment of many of the most public spirited men and women in the county when it urges "nothing doing" in the way of a $25,000 quota. Letters From the People LET'S PAVE MORE ROADS Anaheim, Sept. 19, 1921 Good roads mark the difference between the cave man and modern civilization; between Rome and the vandals' Commerce, comfort, progress, prosperity, pleasure, ride side by side with good roads. In these days any person of moderate means who will not part with the necessary dollars to improve their property and the community with sufficient mode of travel and communication should sell their place to some more liberal and progressive person. Very few are so poor that they cannot spare the few dollars per year to pay for their share of a paved road, which is the only kind of a road to build for comfort and economy. An oiled road has objections, soon wears out and is costly as well. The gravel road so much in evidence, is a shameful waste, yet with the failures in sight we go on building them, as they cost half as much as a pavement. Why not the county take that money to pay for half of a pavement and the property owner pay for the other half? A pavement not only puts you right in town but saves each year what it costs on the wear and tear of the machine, even if only a Ford, hot to mention the comfort and time saving. Who can be a good Christian, bumping over ruts, dust and pebbles? Do you realize that a pavement adds fully and more than its cost to any property? You find money for a hundred unnecessary expenses, may even hurtful, as you well know, yet cannot afford a good road! Shame! Get busy and let us have every foot of our roads paved. Where there is a will there is a way. The only way to do a thing is to do it. California has made a good showing, but has only scratched the surface. Let us start by throwing a few dishonest, unsculptuous contractors into jail and do our own work, own our own cement plants. Why pay a big price for rotten work? CHARLES H. V.

PITTSBURGH DISTRICT BETTER PITTSBURGH, Sept. 20—The American Sheet and Tin Plate company reports larger bookings than any time since last May, while steel companies in this territory are 50 per cent ahead of their record in July. The settlement of long standing difficulties between contractors and the plasterers' union is believed to be the forerunner of a settlement of all differences in the building trades which have prevented any amount of construction this summer. As soon as these differences are settled approximately $30,000,000 worth of building will commence. California's wealth has doubled during the last ten years. And yet the fountain of its natural riches scarcely have been tapped. Possibilities for developing wealth in this state are virtually without limit. BEET SHIPMENTS SHOWING INCREASE WINTERSBURG & SMELTZER, Sept. 26—An increase in beet shipments is noticeable at some of the local dumps. Factories which having been overrun with boots for a few weeks are now getting back to normal. All dumps are expected to go back to capacity shipments at once, and are expecting to continue so far the remainder of the season. The Santa Ana, at Winterburg, had an exceptional run for the week, a total of 36 cars being shipped. Eight growers were hauling and two of the more extensive growers, Horace Moore and Chilson and Lark have finished their harvest. R. J. Morgan is just completing his also. The American at Sugar, which is one of the restricted dumps for the present, makes a three-car day shipment. Five growers are shipping. The American at Sugar, sent out 16 cars of 760-ton capacity during the week. A slight increase was experienced at Sugar Co-operative, 980 tons being the shipment. There were nine haulers, two of whom, J. C. McMillan and Kanla and Ifune began during the week. McMillan is harvesting a ten-cere crop and Japanese about 100 acres. At the Co-operative it had been thought that the sugar percent would run about an average of 16, but the average is raising and is now at 18 per cent. As high as 28 per cent has been the test in a few fields. The American, at Smeltzer, reports a 32-car shipment, with six growers hauling and the shipments began this week at six cars a day. More and Taylor have started their harvest and are hauling to this dump by tractor and one six-horse team. Their crop is quite extensive.

WANTED—Young man wishing to learn the printing business. Inquire at PILM Dealer. You may go as far as you like with me in my merry Oldsmobile. So runs the jingle of a song that made a hit several years ago. And many a lover is singing it yet, or words to that effect, as he spins down the boulevard with his left hand on the steering wheel and his right arm about his best girl's neck or shoulders. Traffic officers and a lot of careful drivers of motor cars are of opinion that many an accident can be attributed to that particular highway habit. Justice of the Peace Cox is bitterly opposed to such a careless method of handling an auto. He says he has nothing against spooning but he contends there is a time and a place for everything. "You bet I'll fine any motorist who is brot into my court for reckless driving, and if the complaining witness can prove that the offender was driving with one arm around his best girl I'll soak him good and hard," said Judge Cox. "I fined two fellows for that about two years ago. I don't remember now who arrested them or where, but each paid a fine of $25. And if there are others guilty of the same recklessness they'll get the same consideration." Deputy Dist. Atty. Roland Thompson said that in his opinion a motorist would have to commit an overt act of reckless driving before he could be brot into court. "The mere fact that a man is seen driving a car with one arm around his girl does not constitute reckless driving," said Thompson. "He might be an expert at driving in that manner. He might travel in such a fashion indefinitely and not violate a rule of the road or have a mishap. An overt act of carelessness must be charged before there is any ground for a complaint on a charge of reckless driving." Orange-co traffic officers declare it is a dangerous practice. "It is not an uncommon sight by any means" said Traffic Officer Shorty Myers. "I see it every day and keep a close eye on the fellow at the wheel. Any man who will drive that way is taking a chance on a smashup. And occasionally they get it." Careful drivers say that they take extra precautions to guard against an accident when they see a machine coming toward them with two lowers in the front seat. "They are easily detected," said one motorist. "The young man is apparently more interested in his girl than he is in the road ahead of him. Sometimes he is holding her with a stronger grip than he does the wheel. No doubt hundreds of accidents have been caused by just such carelessness." Whether or not the fellow who has tried the stunt will admit that it is a careless way of driving is a long standing difficulty between contractors and the plasterers' union is believed to be the forerunner of a settlement of all differences in the building trades which have prevented any amount of construction this summer. As soon as these differences are settled, approximately $30,000,000 worth of building will commence. California's wealth has doubled during the last ten years. And yet the tountain of its natural riches scarcely have been tapped. Possibilities for developing wealth in this state are virtually without limit.
