HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In North Orange-co: Per year $2; Six months, $1.23. Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. DAILY GREETING TO READERS THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Yes, love indeed is light from heaven, A spark of that immortal fire, With angels shared, by Allah given To lift from earth our low desire. —Byron. Read the Bible as literature, as well as for its spiritual values. There is no nobler literary treasure on earth. A noted astronomer says there is plant life on the moon and there seemingly is a possibility of animal life. "The man in the moon" may not be a fictional creature, after all. California has more acres planted to vegetables than any other state in the union. On the coat of arms of the state it soon may be in order to place a cabbage rampant and a carrot couchant. Central America has evolved a "United States" of its own. But the mere fact of merging those states will not rid them of selfish political conspiracies. The political intriguer will abound and the new union will probably have to "come up through great tribulation." California should do all possible to turn back the tide of criminal invasion which sets in from the east at this season each recurring year. It requires the closest and most practical cooperation on the part of municipal and county police and constabulary forces to make headway against the cunning hordes. Pursuing further its already achieved ambition to be the best newspaper along the Pacific coast between Los Angeles and San Jose, the Santa Barbara News has increased its size from seven to eight columns. This enlargement is made the occasion for a review of the growth and development of the News, which in many respects is a remarkable newspaper. Its chief distinction, however, and its largest asset, is its independence and reality to the cause of all the people—its freedom from factional or class alignment or control. On this point the News says, editorially: "No town can be better than its chief newspaper, tho the newspaper can be better than its town. 'In making this broad statement we specifically except organs. For some cities are so afflicted that they have as their most powerful publication an organ which is secretly wedded to some cause or group of individuals. 'Any publication—daily, weekly or monthly—which serves a group or a cause which is not the cause of the whole people is an organ. It may prosper for a time, but it cannot endure. For the public has the uncanny faculty of learning thru a sixth sense that, despite fair words and specious promises, an organ is an organ and not a newspaper. When this discovery is made, the organ slides dismally either to bankruptcy, to change of ownership, or to change of heart. 'A good town deserves a good newspaper, and a good newspaper helps to make a good town.' California should do all possible to turn back the tide of criminal invasion which sets in from the east at this season each recurring year. It requires the closest and most practical cooperation on the part of municipal and county police and constabulary forces to make headway against the cunning hordes. New York Letter The East Side is in distress. There is a big wedding scheduled for next week and the neighborhood's wedding garments are all locked up in a police station. Even the prospective bride and bridesgroom are destitute of finery. The trouble started when Barnett Michaelson's shop was robbed. Being the source of supply for all festive garments, the place where you rent dress suits and bridal veils and silver slippers and hard-boiled shirts — Barnett doesn't believe in the fad for soft, pleated ones—this shop was the crux of the whole wedding. It was to furnish costumes for bridal party and guests alike. Then it was entered and stripped of practically the entire stock. And when the thieves were caught, matters were not improved. The police took charge then, and are still holding Barnett's wardrobes as evidence. So there's misery and unhappiness by the East River, where people lay the blame entirely on poor Barnett, who still hopes to recover his belongings and save the day. Yes, it happens, even to actors. Ernest Truex rushed into the offices of Sam H. Harris and offered the producer a large sum of money for the motor car that plays such an important part in "Six Cylinder Love" at the Harris theatre. The star was all out of breath, and when Harris argued that the upkeep of such a car would ruin him, he exploded completely. "Ruin me," he exclaimed. "Well, you just look at this," and he handed the producer a telegram. It was a wire he had just received from his father, Dr. J. L. Truex, of Joplin, Mo., announcing that oil had been struck on Texas property belonging to him and his son Ernest. New York has ordered corsets for its policemen. Not that there's any departmental fad for stylish figures—in fact the belts of the force are just as long as ever. These aren't the fragile affairs in favor with recent debutantes, but are a modern version of the old mail corset in vogue among warriors several centuries ago. Made of silk, canvas and steel, they are warranted bullet-proof. The ten precious garments just bought by the police are being wear starched collars, or if they are feminine, still are slaves to the hair-pin. Rents are cheap down there among the poets, and the inexpensive little basement restaurants serve delicious food. That accounts for the private secretary's street address. She remained just as neat and tailored and precise as if she'd never moved south of Fourteenth-st. Nevertheless, she enjoyed the mild flirtation of the two young men across the back fence. The great north window of opaque glass proved them to be artists, and they conversed with their brushes. They drew a picture of themselves starting out for a day at the beach, urging a neat girl in a tailored suit to share their fun. They drew themselves at the shore, disconsoled because there was no tailored girl along. They drew themselves swinging up the avenue with her between them—and miserably sauntering alone when she refused. Finally, overjoyed to see a response from the private secretary's window the two young artists found themselves looking at a bride cut from the Sunday supplement. Their response was prompt—two weeping young men pulling bravely at the rope of an enormous wedding-bell. There's nothing in all New York sleeper than the usual owl train. It thunders thru the subways, reeking with the peculiarly damp musty odor that seems to fill the tunnels late at night. Every one of the strangely assorted passengers nods in an uncomfortable doze. There was no sleep in the Broadway subway the other night. A mild and drowsy looking man boarded the train at Chambers-st, deposited a large double-flapped basket at his feet, and settled back in the corner for a nap. The lids of the basket stirred, lifted and dropped back. A messenger felt for the telegrams stuck in his cap and sat on the edge of his seat. Then the lids lifted again, and chickens began to scramble out—a dozen of them. They ran and flew and hopped from end to end of the car. The passengers gathered from all parts of the train, and joyfully started a chase. When the train stopped for a few belated pleasure-seekers at Times Square, the poultry race was...

These aren't the fragile affairs in favor with recent debutantes, but are a modern version of the old mail corset in vogue among warriors several centuries ago.

They will be worn on dangerous errands by detectives of the bomb squad, and the safe and loft squad. Down in Greenwich Village, there are a lot of just plain people who insured WIVES ARE KILLED TOKIO, Oct. 25.—Many devious methods are being resorted to for the purpose of obtaining money in Japan, and among those who are suffering the most are life insurance companies, a host of various insurance frauds being brought to light recently. There have been several cases in which men insured their wives, poisoned them, married new ones, poisoned them also, and so on, ad libitum. The extreme looseness of Japanese marriage bonds makes this process very easy, and it seems to be becoming popular, except possibly with the wives. A few days ago such a "Bluebeard" was arrested in Nagoya just as he was collecting the premium on his fourth heavily insured wife. OPTOMETRIST Glasses Fitted Ten years a member of the North Dakota state board of examiners of optometry. Advanced optical knowledge together with twenty-three years' experience makes our name stand for SERVICE. Using the Vertex Lenses for testing together with the most scientific instruments on the market. DR. WALTER R. BLAKELY OPTOMETRIST Office Over S. Q. R. Store Hours, Except Sunday Special Appointment 8 to 12—1 to 5:30 By Request Shifting Money Values of Modern Nations To the American mind, which is used to a dollar that is worth one hundred cents, the low condition of money in Europe today is amazing. Much of it is due to the printing of tremendous quantities of paper cash, coupled with huge war debts. The Russian Soviet tried to make money odious by turning out hundreds of billions in paper. The German mark is low because Germany not only has an enormous debt but must pay an enormous bill of damages as well. French francs are low for the reason that France has a debt of $1,185 for each person in its population, and so it goes with country after country. But why the money and securities of the new countries such as Czecho-Slovakia and Poland should be discounted to a similar extent is not so understandable. Poland, whose tond hopes for independence has been a world romance for a century, has now practically no national debt. Her manufactories are busy and progressing. Her farmers are reaping a fine crop. Yet it is true that when the City of Warsaw places 10,000 mark bonds for sale in this country they go for $19.85 in American money. The shifting money values of modern nations today recall the world famous incident responsible for the colossal influence of the Rothschild banking house. The event dates from the battle of Waterloo. Meyer Rothschild was nearby when the famous battle was fought. Those were days before telegraph, cables or fast ships. At the risk of his life he crossed the English Channel and purchasee large quantities of bonds made almost worthless by the news on Blucher’s defeat several days before. When the bonds were sent sayrocketing by the favorable news of England’s victory, the house of Rothschild made a fortune. What Others Say THERE isn’t another town in the United States the size of Anaheim that has so fine a theater as the New California,” says George W Hamler, veteran theatrical man who has traversed this country from border to border and knows them all from tank-town to Broadway. “Theodore Roberts deserves a lot of credit for what he has done for Anaheim. He may have had some difficulties in putting it over, but the minute the doors were opened Saturday day, evening he was a made man.” “The first know of the seasan of the mountains this morning looked pretty good,” says H. P. Tobin. “I was out by Richfield and got pretty good glimpse of it altho th clouds got in the way at times.” "Anaheim seems to have plenty of money for everything else but for the thing that is really the greatest demand," says Paul Taggart, "It easy to float a wildcat proposition here, but when it comes to financing the erection of a number of small houses to be sold to home seekers or terms, for some reason or other the money isn't available, contrary to the situation almost anywhere else." So Calif. "It would be a wonderful thing for many people who would become more valuable citizens if they could give en assistance in erection or purchasing of moderately priced residence There is no limit to the growth Anaheim if such class of people could be taken care of." “If the railroad strike is pulled off as scheduled, $2500 worth of peefectly good tomatoes on my ranch will go to waste," says Sales Manger Roy McDonald, of the George Dunton Ford and Ford agency.

It's stay was only long enough to teach the great lesson of parenthood. Words are not adequate to express the sympathy of the many friends of the popular young couple in their sorrow. The mother is doing as well as could be expected under the great shock. Beet harvest will be completed in this section this week. The Cypress dump will close with a run average to the past few seasons. Some of the local boys have had good duck shooting on the outer confines of the new Los Alementos Gun Club reserve. John Stodart had to donate $10 to a Pullerton justice for driving his Reo at 31 miles per hour on the boulevard just east of Buena Park. John says that he will be careful where he exercises the Reo next time. Al Hennil and his Apprson, Jack Rabbit, collided with another machine on Orangethorpe a few days back. Al had to appear for reckless driving. He proved he was on his side of the road and was not exceeding the speed limit, but the judge fined him $15 to impress on him the necessity of being a careful driver.
