If oil only flowed from the wells like language in the prospectus! Atan! In many cases the language is more oleagenthous than the well. It is to be hoped that no person or influence will enter that conference with a concealed knife, to smite disarmament under the fifth rib. Perhaps Roy Gardner would be content to stay in prison if the humskills having charge of him did not make it so easy for him to escape. Roy Gardner says he wants to start all over again and be good and not molest the mall trains. Better look him over and see if his fingers are crossed. It may be noted with interest that Hon. William Gibbs McAdoo has not said right out that he would refuse to be the Democratic standard bearer in 1924, if duly asked to take that honor. The profiteer group, in this country, should be sent to the extinction that was the fate of the dodo—with no intention of libelling that bygone bird by nesting it with the profiteer cormorants. That celebrated old figure of speech about beating swords into plowshares takes on a past-tense flavor, as there no longer are many swords and not so many plow-shares. In some homes, the husband who stayed at home of nights to get acquainted with his wife would not have the opportunity, unless he sat up until after she came in from the dance, the theatre or the card party. Several eminent, amiable, ambitious gentlemen have looked the White House over and any one of them would be quite willing to take up his abode there, on and after March 4, 1925. But the present occupant may be averse to moving. MRS. O'LEARY'S COW IS FOUND INNOCENT The wheels of justice move slowly, in some cases. It has taken half a century to clear up a cruel accusation, which, seemingly, was without foundation. The accused was charged with having committed a very serious offense. But close investigation shows that she had retired at the time and therefore could not have been the originating cause of a costly tragedy. All these years she has rested under this harsh aspersion. All these years she has been notorious all over the civilized world because it was assumed that she was guilty as charged. All these years she has been before the world as a "horrible example." All these years her temper and disposition have been regarded in unfavorable light, and with not a little horror. But now comes the report of a committee which inquired into the subject minutely and now deposes and says that Mrs. O'Leary's cow did not kick over a lamp and start the great Chicago fire of 1871. Both Mrs. O'Leary and her cow retired early, on that fateful night, hence could not have been the source of beginning of one of the worst disasters in the history of this country. Good for Mrs. O'Leary and good for Mrs. O'Leary's cow! May they always stand acquitted before the world! MOTION PICTURE LAUDED BY NOVELIST Unqualified faith in the present and the future of the moving picture is expressed by Sir Gilbert Parker, the eminent novelist, who has been in Los Angeles for a year in connection with the putting of some of his novels on the screen.

But the present occupant may be averse to moving. Armenia treasures in grateful memory and affection all the generous things that America has done for that distressed land and people. Official expression of Armenia's appreciation is given. The unselfish, disinterested generosity of the American people, manifested toward suffering peoples of Europe within the last seven years, has won golden opinions from all over the earth. These liberalities, without hope or expectation of reward or material gain, belie the impression sometimes arising in other countries that Americans are steeped in selfishness and that they wear which they see everything. The automobile speeder is heaven's most successful recruiter, altho it would be wrong to infer that he has a commission from on high to carry on recruiting as he does. MOTION PICTURE LAUDED BY NOVELIST Unqualified faith in the present and the future of the moving picture is expressed by Sir Gilbert Parker, the eminent novelist, who has been in Los Angeles for a year in connection with the putting of some of his novels on the screen. Sir Gilbert feels that much thoughtless and unjust criticism is being passed upon the motion picture industry. Too many critics treat the subject as though this great art, which has been in existence only about ten years, should have developed fully within this period. The tendency in pictures, in general, has been upward, he says, and facts warrant his assertion. He also speaks loudly of the educational value of good pictures and of how the best in film productions goes to the smallest places, as well as to the great centers, giving all the people equal advantages. All thoughtful, well disposed persons will agree with this great novelist that the motion picture has been and is a power for good, even though there have been and are evils in it. These evils, of course, must be eradicated. But the whole art and the whole industry of producing pictures are not fairly to be condemned because a comparatively very few films are not what they should be. LUMBER YARDS Adams-Bowers Lumber Co.

SPEAKER APTER the customary opening exercises of devotions, of October all day meeting of the Fourth District of Parent-Teachers Assn., at Santa Ana, Saturday, salute to the flag and community singing led by Mr. H. H. Sammis, Mrs. Morris the president, gave all a pleasant surprise by introducing Mr. John Williams, the author of "Yosemite and the High Sierras," and other books of much interest and value to the nature lover. He spoke for a few minutes on the value of the public library, illustrating by citing the efficient work which the librarian at Oxnard is doing among the people of many nationalities in that town. He added: "Get out into the mountains, know the uplands; I preach this gospel for the pleasure and the inspiration it brings. It is in the Sierra that gold was first discovered, and more important than all the gold is the water which is supplied; and it is also in the Sierras that we find the health which is the preservation of our people. Let us treasure our mountains for the heritage that they give to us, which is more than money." Mrs. S.W. Stanley opened the Parliamentary drill for New Presidents, going over a number of common sense suggestions. Don't have too many rules. Have a few rules and live up to them. Begin on time. A motion is not open to discussion until it is seconded. Chairmen should write out reports so that the president will know what is done. Have a definite order of business. Have a written list of all business that is to come up at the meeting. Improper form of putting a motion—I move you; proper form—I move that. Mrs. John Clarkson, the regular parliamentarian, continued the instruction, recommending Gleason's parliamentarian, continued the Roberts' Rules of Order, and suggests that every association purchase a copy. Every president realizes that her whole inspiration comes from the members so do not hesitate to talk to the question. Happiness—Hard Work—Harmony—if we have these three in our associations we can succeed. An open forum was conducted by department chairmen—1st, Mrs. Goodale, Chairman of Education and Americanization, presented suggestions. the Child Welfare magazine by reviewing its contents. Miss Lavinigton, the new county librarian, suggested putting requests for program materials and parliamentary study through the county library. It was a pleasure to have the county superintendent of schools, Mr. R. P. Mitchell, present, who gave a summary of the new educational laws. He touched upon laws pertaining to consolidation, school funds, explaining the use of the $9000 apportioned to Orange county for emergency use and extra teachers; the school budget law, which requires that each school board shall prepare a budget every June or they will not receive any school money the following year; change of teacher terms; probationary and permanent teachers; increase of library funds; lengthening of the school term; addition of the two new subjects, fire protection and thrift to the school curriculum; a new state fund of $10,000 for migratory schools. All-teachers now in private schools must have a knowledge of English, History and Civics, this law to take effect Jan. 1, 1923. After the luncheon hour, which always promotes much sociability, the executive board met for routine business, and at 1:30 a social half hour gave an opportunity to meet the state librarian, Mr. Milton J. Ferguson, who was in the south at this time. He addressed the assembly for a few minutes, admonishing them to make free use of the new county library, and commending the choice of librarian. Mrs. Harry J. Euing, state president, accompanied by Mrs. J. B. Roe, State chairman of Extension, arrived in time for the afternoon session. Mrs. Roe presented the new state P-T-A map on which are placed in various counties as many gold stars as there are P-T-A's in that area. Orange-co., made a fine showing with its surface nearly covered with association stars. She also presented the banner which was displayed at the recent superintendent's convention at Coronado. The significant figures of 43000 membership spoke of the present estate of Parent-Teacher organizations in California. Mrs. Ewing spoke at some length of the past year's activities, $125,000 having been given to the schools during the past year through the contributions raised by the P-T-A's throughout the state. She gave many pertinent suggestions on the choosing of officers.

Happiness—Hard Work—Harmony—if we have these three in our associations we can succeed. An open forum was conducted by department chairmen — 1st, Mrs. Goodale, Chairman of Education and Americanization, presented suggestions for the year along lines of program work, daily and group reading, and support of the new county library by helping to establish branches. She also presented the latest information regarding the Towner-Sterling gill before congress, and national education week to be celebrated Dec. 4-10. Mrs. J. N. Anderson, chairman of legislation, suggested topics and speakers on pending amendments and laws. She called attention to the present condition in California on the eighteenth amendment, adding that "We are now in the same position of the states which seceeded at the time of the civil war in that we have refused to support an amendment to the national constitution. Let us help to right this wrong at the November election." Mrs. Kungli, chairman of Magazines and Emblems, showed the great help contained in just one copy of books for the blind are available in the raised print through the state library collection. Short reports from the local presidents answered the question. "What was the most helpful, most interesting and largest meeting you held during the last year"? Also "What do you plan?" The responses were significant in showing the trend of the activity in happy, contented, productive, and you will come to realize that the whole world is fully in accord with you and your efforts. We cannot, of course, all be handsome, And it's hard for us all to be good; We are sure now and then to be lonesome, And we don't do as we should. To be patient is not always easy, To be cheerful is much harder still, But at least we can always be pleasant, If we make up our minds that we will. And it pays every time to be kindly, Although we feel worried and blue; If you smile at the world and look cheerful, The world will smile back at you. So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how low you are down; Good humor is always contagious, But you banish your friends when you frown. There may be some things in this world that who never smile can do, but one sure thing they continue their existence in the field of lonesome. Everyone hates a grouch and keeps as far from them as possible. There is no creative about those who are always carrying a gloom and who foster their hobby of discontentmenters. Friendly smiles, and courteous, compli- There may be some things in this world that who never smile can do, but one sure thing they continue their existence in the field of lonesome. Everyone hates a grouch and keeps as far away from them as possible. There is no creative idea about those who are always carrying a gloom and who foster their hobby of discontentment among others. Friendly smiles, and courteous, complaining words, are natural co-partners. It is said "A worth its face value." It's worth more, love, sentiment, satisfaction, and reflects the true spirit of the heart. The man or woman who thinks ripe keeps trying will tell you that a smile works ways. Makes and keeps friends and when with energy is productive of all that is worth it. Did you ever notice the broad, happy smile of a face of a home owner? He or she is happy because they have realized an ambition, have accomplished the one thing most near and dear to all. If the boast of kiddies, the happy little smiles, the environments, the assurance of home protection of adversity are in themselves sufficient condition for any sacrifices that it may be necessary make in acquiring homes. We think it would proper to say the grouch is that way because no home, for surely everyone who can boast of ownership and who has a helpmate who works strives to keep the atmosphere about the little one of contentment, where love abounds and generality is practiced by all, then home with its piness, contentment, pride of possession, accommodation and protection assurance is the one bright in this little old world. work, providing of phonying school bonds, dish grade examinations, kindergarten, fitting of at the school, and much for Americanization.
