DAILY GREETING TO READERS Oh! would that love were ever still the same— Unchanged, unbiased, consistent and sincere; Would that the heart, that owns a sacred flame, Might never dim its brightness with a tear! But human hearts, alas! too often show That love may sometimes banquet upon Woe.—Dawes. Rejoice, kiddies! Santa Claus never goes on strike. Some persons treat the Golden Rule as tho it were pewter. The country is sorely in need of more businesslike methods in government. "Honesty is the best policy"—and it is to be hoped that it never will become the rarest one. Make pessimism a going concern and keep it going until it goes clear beyond your horizon. Militaristic monarchism is making its last exit, it is hoped, from the stage of European politics. That conference on limitation of armaments is not called together as a frolie, but to consider issues solemn and vital, affecting the entire human race. No element in this country should treat the conference lightly or throw impedements in the way of its work. UNKNOWN HERO'S BODY ON WAY TO AMERICA Some American mother's boy, who perished valiantly on theanguinary fields of France, is to be honored with all the honors that a grateful Nation and an appreciative people can bestow. The mortal remnant of this gallant young American is on the ocean wave, being borne tenderly back to his country—to the land which he loved above his own life. Only God knows whose boy he was—and is. Only God knows the identity of the devoted mother whose son thus is honored. But each and every mother who lost a son and whose identification is shrouded in mystery fondly may feel that this bit of dust may be the relics of her precious boy. Let them each and all have this thrill of motherly pride. In essence, it is the dust of each and every mother's son that went to death on foreign fields. This remnant clay symbolizes all the nameless heroes of the American Expeditionary Forces who made the supreme sacrifice for country, and flag, and freedom: In a broader sense, it symbolizes all the millions of valiant men of the rank and file of the American forces in the World War—the faithful, daring legions that drove the grim enginery of war to the very heart of the enemy and hastened the victory which culminated on that memorable Eleventh of November, 1918. This nameless boy is essentially the son of every mother who sent her flesh and blood in the ranks of the American armies in 1917 and 1918.

Sanborn, submarine base chaplain, will preach the sermon. COAL TO LAST LONG British experts have estimated that the known available coal fields insure an adequate supply for the normal needs of the world for 400 years. UNION SETS RECORD IN STARTING WELLS Richfield The Union Oil Co. is not waiting for the strike to be called off or the first o'f the year to roll around at Richfield. The Union set a record for starting new wells during the past week. The following new wells were started on the several leases as follows: Thompson two wells, Nos. 5 and 6. Stern two wells, Nos. 3 and 4. Ayers and Parsons two wells, Nos. 3 and 4. On the Chapman lease No. 5 is drilling at 4025 some seventy feet off bottom and in the oil sand will soon be ready for production. No. 11 at 2167 is also in the oil sand and looking good. No. 12 at 3222 is in hard sand. No. 13 spudded in and is drilling at 900. No. 14 is close to 4000 in brown shale. No. 18 at 3500 is in shale and shell. No. 19 at 37000 is in the oil sand. No. 20 drilling at 3078 is rotating in hard sand. For the number of wells standing cemented at Richfield the General Petroleum holds the record. This company has 7 wells standing cemented. Davis No. 1 at 3247, Group 2-1 at 4088, Group 3-2 at 3295, Group 4-3 at 3222, Group 4-4 at 3184, Maraburn No. 1 at 3225, Stein No. 1 at 2244, Hugo No. 3 so that the well can be brought into No. 2 shows '3000 feet in sand and shale production.

Fourth St. $28,000,000 VALUE OF '21 OIL OUTPUT "Black gold" production in Orange county will return producers this year approximately $28,000,000, according to estimates made today on the number of barrels of oil and by-products produced. The estimate is based on data compiled by James Sleeper, county assessor, and oil men who are more or less familiar with the details of quantity and prices. Oil offers one of the biggest sources of income in the county, exceeding in cash returns any of the large crops of agricultural or citrus production. It is estimated that when the year is closed producers will have received an average of $1.35 a barrel for oil, the production being estimated at around 18,000,000 barrels. Gasoline and natural gas will swell the cash returns by $4,000,000 or $5,000,000; it is estimated. Price for crude oil slumped a little in the past year, as compared with prices prevailing in 1920, when the average was from $1.50 to $1.60. Quotations on crude oil are again advancing. Gasoline prices wholesale were advanced one cent in New York and two cents in Nebraska a few weeks ago, with a corresponding increase being paid to producers of crude. Development of oil at Huntington Beach this year has boosted the county output materially and it is believed that the production of that field next year will be an important addition to the total. Other fields in the county are being explored, and it is possible that important discoveries will be made that will open up new territory. The number of wells on production in the county is estimated at 769 and the acreage at 8000 acres. With the exception of production in the Huntington Beach field all of this year's output is from the northern Orange county fields. 20 NEW WELLS STARTED Oil field operations reported the week ending Oct. 29, show 20 new wells started compared with nine during the past week; total new wells 113 compared with 713 the same date last year. Tests for water shut-off 21, compared with 32 previous tests. 20 NEW WELLS STARTED Oil field operations reported the week ending Oct. 29, show 20 new wells started compared with nine during the past week; total new wells 113 compared with 713 the same date last year.

Walker No. 1 at 2256 is flowing water. Carpenter The Pacific Oil and Gas Company set the 8" at 2555 in the blue shale. The well has been showing up rather good. Petifills Syndicate No. 2 came in a 200-barrel well last Monday, went up to 300 barrels and then sanded up. Cleaning out will put this one back in good condition and probably increase its initial production. The rig is going up for Petifills Syndicate No. 4. At 3360 the Petroleum Midway's Smythe No. 1 is ready to "blow" in and go on production. Water was successfully shut off at 3354. Smythe No. 2 is building rig. Towers No. 2 at 3375 looks like a real oil well. Water was shut off at 3354 and the drilling was resumed with considerable difficulty on account of the heavy gas pressure and large quantity of oil in the hole. Elliott No. 1 shows 1675 feet of hole. Ray Walker No. 1 is being held up for a cement job at 3005. Columbia 2-1 is drilling at 3225 in shale. The Petroleum Midway's big producers Vollmer-Meyer Nos. 1 and 4 are doing 350 and 1100 respectively. Rhoades No. 3 (Eddy) failed to flow at 2385 and the rods and tubing are now being put in. Drilled to 2945 the Edea well has been showing up rather strong and should make a 4 or 5 hundred barrel well. The Sure Shot Oil Co.'s No. 1 is now on the beam. Completed at 2337 some cleaning out work had to be done with cable tools before the well went on production. On account of sanding up no figure on the production is yet available, but it is thought the well will make about 275 barrels. The Sun Oil Co. of Calif. has had lots of trouble getting production at Huntington Beach. Its biggest producer is a 75-bbl well at No. 4. No. 3 is deepening and making hole with the rotary and is now at 2225. No. 1 stands cemented at 2435 and No. 2 is a rig standing. Sand is proving something of a measure to the Standard Oil's Thompson Drilled to 2906 feet this well started off at 200 barrels, but has had trouble to maintain this production on account of sanding up. The Standard is offsetting the Vista Del Mar No. 1 with a well on Farinworth property, Torrance No. 1 the deep test well down 4485 is pulling the "pipe and will go on down." Surf No. 2 stands cemented at 1993. On the Huntington property, No. 5 is cleaning out at 2970. A-7 at 2780 is making a water test. A-9 was recemented at 2535. Drilling on A-12 is at 2900. A-13 at 2921 is cleaning out. A-14 at 2950 stands cemented. A-15 at 2825 stands cemented. A-16 is also cemented, the depth being 1994. A-17 is drilling at 1654. On the Huntington B-1 lease No. 2 is drilling at 4200 and is a deep test well for the holding. B-5 is building rig. Huntington D-1 stands cemented at 2664. D-2 is a location. A rig is going up for B-2 and D-3.. Huntington B-2 at 2741 is washing out the sand. E-3 is drilling on iron at 2952. E-4 is rigging up.

George McAubrey had a narrow escape Monday night when the casing line became tangled around his leg and pulled him up into the derrick several feet, when his leg slipped out and saved him from being crippled. Billy Robbins formerly of Breer, was caught the same way some time ago and nearly killed. He was left a cripple for life. So Mr. McAubrey felt quite fortunate. Mr. Chan Johnson received the news Saturday night that her sister-in-law, Mrs. Dennis Gregory, of Chino, had passed away at 9 p.m. Saturday in the hospital, after an operation.
