UNEMPLOYMENT SERIOUS PROBLEM The national conference on unemployment is to assemble in Washington, in a few days, at call of President Harding. Concrete attempt is to be made to ameliorate industrial conditions and to provide employment for as many as possible during the more or less critical months — economically sueaking — which are just ahead. Good should come from this conference. Those who are conversant with conditions and who are in position to give expert advice as to what should be done and what practically can be done, will sit together in this deliberate assemblage. It is called, not to threash over controversial subjects, but earnestly and honestly to try to devise ways and means to better the economic situation. May it succeed! Every power and influence for good should be arrayed against even the appearance of caste in criminality in this country. There should be one and the same legal process and treatment for the rich and the poor who may be charged with crimes. "Come along this is right and let's do the right thing in the right way" — this spirit gets the community much farther along toward reform, with its good people striking this exemplary attitude, than if they stood back in austerity and thundered "thou shalt not's." It has been decided, by a committee of searching investigators, that it was not the celebrated kicks of Mrs. O'Leary's famous cow which started the great fire in Chicago in the early '70's. Could it have been Mr. O'Leary's red nose that started the conflagration? Or did Mr. O'Leary have a flaming proboscis? The increasing patronage at the local boxing clubs proves that boxing is coming back into its own. Clubs throughout the country are reporting the increasing patronage among women and in some clubs in California, several hundred women attend the weekly shows. LOS ANGELES POWER GRAB SHALL LOS ANGELES DOMINATE? (Editorial Santa Ana Register, July 25, 1921) Los Angeles commercial interests — municipal, industrial, merchandizing, journalistic — have evidently entered upon a deliberate campaign to swallow up all of So. Calif., with a view to making So. Calif. its very own. San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, El Centro, together with a number of other interior cities, are leading a statewide fight in bringing the counties that Los Angeles and San Francisco legislators always refer to as "cow counties" to a realization of their future land and industrial development. "Los Angeles would crush the whole south, including the states or Arizona and Nevada, in her wild ambition toward aggrandizement" is the declaration of the El Centro Progreee. "All towns, agricultural districts and other communities would be compelled to get down on their knees to Los Angeles in order to obtain electricity enough to pump water or burn lights within ten years from this date if the plans outlined by Bill Mulholland, W. B. Mathews and others in the Angel City are carried out." The Long Beach Press this week points out that it may be true, as has been charged, that certain Los Los Angeles commercial interests—municipal, industrial, merchandizing. Journalistic—have evidently entered upon a deliberate campaign to swallow up all of So. Calif., with a view to making So. Calif. its very own. San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, El Centro, together with a number or other interior cities, are leading a statewide fight in bringing the counties that Los Angeles and San Francisco legislators always refer to as "cow counties" to a realization of their peril politically and in a business way. San Bernardino and Riverside are especially alarmed over Los Angeles' well known and well developed plan to grab all of the available water power sites within its reach. The fight that San Bernardino and Riverside-cos started has aroused county and city leaders all over the state. The interest is especially keen in those counties that are dependent upon electric power tor Arizona and Nevada, in her wild ambition toward aggrandizement" is the declaration of the El Centro Progree. "All towns, agricultural districts and other communities would be compelled to get down on their knees to Los Angeles in order to obtain electricity enough to pump water or burn lights within ten years from this date if the plans outlined by Bill Mulholland, W. B. Mathews and others in the Angel City are carried out." The Long Beach Press this week points out that it may be true, as has been charged, that certain Los Angeles interests are fighting Long Beach for fear that Long Beach will become "the Oakland of the south." There is not a city in So. Calif. that has not suffered by the ruthlessness of big Los Angeles interests. With the present determined program evidently agreed upon, looking to the swallowing up of all So. Calif.'s business, it behooves the cities of So. Calif. outside of Los Angeles to stand their ground and fight for their own futures. The Church and International Relationships (Note—This article is published at the request of the department of evangelism in connection with the annual Calif. conference of the German M. E. church in session this week here.) By Ernest F. Tittle The world has become a vast family in which peoples are united "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do them part." It is no longer possible for one people to remain untouched while other peoples are engaged in a struggle of life and death. War in Europe means worry in America, and may mean war for America at any time. No nation lives today in "splendid isolation." The world is an economic unit. Nations, therefore, like individuals, must learn how to live together under conditions of mutual helpfulness. And just as individuals who want to live together in the same community find it necessary to devise some form of social organization, so nations that desire to live together without anarchy, in the same world must devise some form of international organization. But something more than a new world organization is needed. The utility of any organization, however skillfully constructed, depends upon the temper of the people who must operate it. Some one must help to create in the people of the world an international mind. The Church is by no means the only agency which can, or should, do this. But the Church is peculiarly fitted to do this. Did not one of her greatest leaders say that from a thoroughly Christian standpoint there is neither Jew nor Greek, Sythian nor Barbarian, but Christ is all and in all. Some one must help to Christianize the heart of mankind. Some one must labor to remove the spirit of suspicion and hate which threatens the better world. Some one must educate those spiritual forces which will enable the peoples of earth to see clearly, desire justly, and act wisely. This surely, is the peculiar mission of the Christian Church. VILLAGE GOSSIP R. G. Adams, who sells autos at any hour day or night, says the straw hat season should have been extended for at least another month. A month ago there appeared an item that Adams discarding his $20 straw hat for a 25 cent cap. He jumped all over a reporter this morning, stating he had been misquoted about the price of the cap and declares he can prove he paid 29c for the new headgear instead of 25c. Foxes attack poultry only in exceptional cases, but they destroy many rabbits and mice, which are very destructive to fruit trees and crops. ANNOUN R. G. Adams, who sells autos at any hour day or night, says the straw hat season should have been extended for at least another month.

It is possible that there are people to whom the sight of a chestnut burr would be something entirely new. To those who have any curiosity about the matter, a walk in West Commonwealth avenue, in the vicinity of Richman avenue, Fullerton, is prescribed. There are some thumping big trees out there, most any one of which could qualify for the "spreading chestnut tree" which sheltered the village smithy in the famous poem; the burrs look just as you would expect them to look from what you have read about them, every whit as sharp and spiny, and as altogether disagreeable in appearance. And it should be added that the shining brown nuts they guard so faithfully are quite as handsome and palatable as those which old timers can recall gathering in the far away woods of New England, after the frost had rattled them down from the trees. "Dog or burglar?" This was the question Santa Ana police were trying to decide in explaining the cause of a midnight alarm turned in from 404 West Fourth-st. where sleeping residents were aroused and terrified by a terrific noise on the back stairs. Officer Smithwick, who answered the call, was of the opinion that a dog, investigating the contents of a garbage can at the top of the steps, fumbled the can, causing it to roll to the bottom. All of the evidence pointed to the correctness of this theory. Foxes attack poultry only in exceptional cases, but they destroy many rabbits and mice, which are very destructive to fruit trees and crops. —We have made many new improvements and satisfactory service.

Be sure you get your free sample and give it a fair trial. Mrs. T. L. McFadden, Mrs. C. W. Blattener and Mrs. Fred Cline attended the Elks' Ladies card party in Anaheim on Wednesday evening. Mrs. Sam Newnes entertained the Al Fun club of Anaheim at her home. Mrs. Skinner received high score. After the game a delicious two course luncheon was served by the hostess.

T. U. She told it so well that her hearers could almost believe they had made the trip with her. She showed her audience the great need for this work there and in New Zealand and also in our own country with the result that the local organization was spurred to greater interest and activity. Miss Ruth Howerton entertained with two beautiful solos, "Because" and "Smiling Through." After the program Mrs. Tuffree showed everyone all through her lovely home, then made them all at home in the court where delicious pumpkin pie sandwiches, cocoa and coffee were served. About $20 were added to the local treasury by a silver offering, and several new members were brought in. TAX DODGER DRIVE STARTS NEXT WEEK Delinquent income taxes and fraudulent returns will occupy the attention of the income tax department here, beginning next Monday. Elmer B. Burns, Orange-co representative of the department, having given final opportunity for taxpayers to make an eleventh-hour payment, is prepared to push the investigation of delinquent cases or those where fraudulent income reports have been returned. The income tax department experts to conduct a campaign of vigorous prosecution, it is understood. Severe penalties are attached to delinquents and still more drastic punishment may be meted out to the dodger class. First, there is a 25 per cent penalty, then an additional penalty of 5 per cent. In addition to these penalties the law provides a fine of $1,000 for making fraudulent returns or for failing to make any return. REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF "OFFICIAL" MOTOR CARS WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—As one of the results of the economy drive by the Harding administration the use of "official" automobiles has been restricted greatly. Under the former administration, practically every government official, no matter how petty, had an automobile assigned for his use. Hundreds of these automobiles have now been declared surplus property by the government and only those officials who really have need for automobile transportation are allowed free service. Out of a total of 13,000 automobiles in Uruguay, 60 per cent are of American make. The proportion of H after year, is really.

CAR ITSELF KEEPS OWNERS LOYAL the proportion of Hupmobile owners who stick to the car, year after year, is really remarkable. In any locality there is almost sure to be at least one man who has driven every model the factory has produced. Much owner-loyalty, of course, implies a car of extraordinary qualifications — which is exactly what the Hupmobile is, and always has been. People prefer it for its unusual power and performance; its unusual economy; its unusually long life; its unusual freedom from repairs; its unusually high second-sale value. They prefer it, not because it excels in any one of these things, any locality there is almost sure to be at least one man who has driven every model the factory has produced. such owner-loyalty, of course, implies a car of extraordinary qualifications — which is exactly what the Hupmobile is, and always has been. people prefer it for its unusual power and performance; its unual economy, its unusually long life, its unusual freedom from pairs, its unusually high second-sale value. they prefer it, not because it excels in any one of these things, but because it excels in combining them all — in other words, because it is an uncommonly good motor car.
