DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Love is, or ought to be, our greatest blies; Since every other joy, how dear soever, Gives way to that, and we leave all for love. — Rowe. Mingo county is no longer the daily fireworks. The length of a girl's hair is not a test of her efficiency. Abraham Lincoln, in his youth, did not waste his time reading jazzy literature. Why not put a prohibitive surtax on that much-abused mongrel word "normalcy?" Hungary still gives the world the impression that it should be spelled without the "a." Apropos the K. K. K., it looks as though they might make out a K's against it. Baseball has come through the 1921 season unsmirched with scandal. "Oh thus be it ever!" Ohio would not have the heart to refuse a chance to supply the Nations with its next President. Some of the screen stars are learning that there is wide difference between notoriety and fame. Duty is never so unspeakably disagreeable and repellant as when it has connection with a tariff bill. One fire prevented is better than the quenching of one hundred blazes after they have done some damage. The impression is general that Newberry's campaign managers in Michigan spent not honestly, but too much. TO "CLEAN' LOS ANGELES BY VICE RAIDS They are experienced in policing and possibly they know best, but it does seem that the directing forces of the Los Angeles police department are undertaking to suppress vice and crime in a way that hardly insures permanent suppression, or even real suppression temporarily. The policy to be pursued, as detailed by the captain of the central police division of the city, is to be a succession of raids. This captain even goes so far as to specify certain raids he is going to make, provided the police department is given more money to carry on its operations. Giving advance notice that raids are to be made does not smack of good policing judgment. Hardened criminals hardly are to be captured that way, or even seasoned sponsors of vice. This police captain, furthermore, does an unwise thing in asserting in a newspaper article under his own signature: "I now have under observation two prominent hotels in Los Angeles. Some one may ask—why don't you raid them, too?" I'll tell you why. Because we have not the money." Which is tantamount to saying to these hotels: "Go right on with your deviltry; I am observing you but I can't do anything with you, because the police department hasn't the money. Keep right on with your evil work, with assurance that we will not raid you." The police captain did not say this, of course, but his words are capable of a construction like this. It manifestly is unjust, too, to speak vaguely of "two prominent hotels." There are several prominent hotels in Los Angeles. Why put them all under suspicion, in the public mind, by not naming the two which are being watched?

The impression is general that Newberry's campaign managers in Michigan spent not honestly, but too much. If the other countries participating in the disarmament conference will mind their p's, China will mind it queues. They have been talking tariff in this country for more than a hundred years. And they used to talk it better than they do now. What beautiful ears the girls used to have, in the good old days when cars were to be seen, not to be hidden in a hirsuite jungle! Strange that no bright Congressman has come forward with a proposal to put a graduated tax on the alphabet or the multiplication table. Buena Park News BUENA PARK, Oct. 12—(Spk.) Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

Telephone No. 727 H. E. ABPLANALP, Prop. DEATH FAILS TO STOP LIZARD'S TAIL California Biological Feature Service Some time ago I was passing along a board walk when I became dimly conscious of a rapid movement near my feet and a moment later, of a disagreeable slippery feeling as the toe of my shoe left the boards. Looking back and down, I saw a little wet spot on the board and at the edge of the wet spot a tiny tail standing almost upright and jerking back and forth in the air. Quite evidently a little lizard had run under my descending foot with the result that its body had been crushed out of existence, leaving only a wet spot and a moving tail as evidence of its life and vigor of a minute before. I stopped and watched the tail for several minutes during which time it continued to move. Then I went on without finding how long its activity might continue. This fatal accident to the poor little lizard was to my mind suggestive of many questions and ideas, a few of which may be mentioned here. In the first place the vigorous movement of the surviving tail showed very clearly that the death of an animal does not necessarily mean the immediate death of all of its parts. In this case it resulted in increasing the activity of the tail instead of reducing it as one might expect. Furthermore the movements of the tail, though somewhat jerky, were rythmic and this indicates that a highly developed power of control or regulation is located in the segregated part itself. Under the circumstances any movement would seem remarkable, but a series of definite, orderly movements in certain directions was almost uncanny. Second, activities which ordinarily indicate suffering or emotion do not by their mere performance prove its presence. This is well shown in this case because we always consider that a cat or dog is excited or in pain if it lashes its tail vigorously, yet we know that this lizard could have neither pain nor excitement because it was no longer in existence. The tail was merely kept in motion for a time by an automatic machine which BAKERSFIELD MAN HEADS BOY SCOUTS R. E. Dye, of Bakersfield, has been selected as Boy Scout executive for Orange county to succeed Elmer E. Heidt, who recently resigned. Dye has been scout executive of the Kern-co. organization for two or three years. He has had several years' experience in scouting, and is enthusiastic in his work. According to arrangements made with a committee of the county council of Boy Scouts, Dye is to be here Oct. 15 to take up his duties. as a complete unit it may readily be supposed that rapid movements of the tail at appropriate times, had a certain usefulness in adding it to keep its balance or to frighten its smaller enemies. After destruction of the body which furnished nourishment, the tail could not possibly maintain its own existence for any very long time, hence any action which it performed accomplished nothing, nor could it ever accomplish anything. Here we are touching upon a biological principle which is just as fundamental in human activities carried on by large groups of individuals as it is in the life of any individual from lizard to man. Recognition of and adherence to this principle would do more than any other thing to oblivate human suffering, to develop human efficiency, and to promote human welfare. If the bankers isolate themselves or are isolated from the rest of the community they cannot thrive for long, nor can the foundryman, or druggist, or grocers, lawyers or any other group. And in many cases the community cannot thrive for long with important parts or individuals missing. Biological unity is necessary not only in any living thing, but in any aggregation of living things. Divisions, both fractional and factional are fatal to such unity. Saint Paul stated this most clearly for human organizations when he said "if there were only one member where were the body" but there is little evidence that we give any more heed to the principle today than other peoples did remote centuries ago. ST. HELENS BRINGS IN BIG PRODUCE Montebello Field One of the biggest wells the Montebello field has produced was brought in by the St. Helens Petroleum Coat Eglingston No. 1. Drilled to 425 feet the big well came in with a ruin and a rear and the first gauged production showed that the well was making close to a thousand barrels.

Stroup-Barnes Furniture Co. MUCH EXCITEMENT ABOUT RIVERSIDE Riverside At 1860 feet the Riverside Oil Company's well near Beaumont showed some gas and some oil and created quite a little excitement. Not getting a water shut off in the ten-inch some of the upper oil stands have been passed up and now it seems that the heavy gas pressure is a foreranner of a big sand not much further down. At 1900 feet, a second gas blow out makes the outlook for an oil sand look still better. Riverside Oil Co. backed by Los Angeles and Riverside capital, is about to open a new field, if showings of oil and gas mean anything.
