The animosities born of the great war should pass as quickly as possible, just as the rancors of the American Civil War have taded away. No country and no people are benefitted by nurturing hatreds and bitter remembrances. Observe Armistice Day in reverent, appreciative spirit, not merely with noise and ostentation. Make it a thoughtful occasion — a time for weighing and considering the inestimable values of the heroic sacrifices made by American soldiery in the World War. The only safe step for the young is never to take the first step in vice and crime. Numberless tragedies and miseries have resulted from taking the first step, on the illusory supposition that it would be easy to stop with the first step. It is not easy to stop. The first step makes the second one easier, and then follow other steps, until a course is taken which leads toward hell, with no likelihood of coming back to the right course before it is too late. The boy or girl who never takes the first step in vice and crime is safe and exceedingly fortunate. Glorifying of veterans of the World War cannot well be overdone. But when this glorifying is done by demagogues who are insincere and whose only purpose is to try to gain favor with the veterans for selfish reasons, this kind of laudation is not worth anything, and the astute veteran readily sees through it. The glorifying which has weight and significance with the veteran is that which proceeds from genuine feeling and disinteredness. Gambling is the worst menace that sports have in this country. Baseball AMERICA. A NATION WITH HIGH IDEALS Continued contact with the French people is having the effect of gradually dispelling the time-honored impression among people of the Continent that Americans were "hard-boiled" materialists, interested only in money and the affairs of business. The Paris paper Le Petit Parisien, commenting on the exercises held at the tomb of the unknown soldier hero, remarks on the other side of American character as follows: "All those who look upon the Americans as a great industrial people, of marchants and bankers, only engrossed with business, have recently had a unique opportunity of forming a more exact idea of the American mind, without having to cross the ocean. They have only to read or read the two very characteristic speeches delivered at the tomb of the unknown soldier. From one end to the other of these speeches of a diplomat and of a military man, there is the same spirit of idealism and the same spiritual enthusiasm. Listen to Mr. Myron T. Herrick, so dear to the hearts of all French people since his desire in 1914 to take care of Paris if by chance the enemy were to enter: 'Our souls are weary with quibblings, with bickerings and monetary maneuvers. What we need to hear once more ringing through the land is the word, self-sacrifice.... It was the spiritual forces of the whole universe which gave right to the victory.... Let us be ever sure sure that we are right and go ahead!' And now the military man who speaks of his courage, the unknown soldier at whose tomb mothers weep as they recall with pride the heroism of their own brave sons.

Baseball and football will thrive so long as they are kept clean and honest. Friends and enthusiasts may be able to keep out these demoralizing influences and conditions. Football has been free from them—that is, there has had it bad experiences, but is game, and there is hope that it may remain free from all taint. Baseball ha shad its bad experience, but is coming through O, K. The millions of baseball zealots throughout the country are not ready to repudiate the game because of the crookedness of a few players in one season. ARMAMENT LIMITS VITAL NECESSITY WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—“A real reduction in armament is not a necessity to America, but it is a vital necessity to the Old World nations. The churches of Europe look to America to lead the way through the Conference on Limitation of Armament,” says Dr. Adolg Keller, secretary of the Swiss Federation of Churches and one of the most influential churchmen of Europe. From Switzerland, the “Watchtower of Europe,” he has brought to the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America word as to what the European churches hope from America: He has conferred with these officials regarding cooperation between the churches of America and those of Europe so that the Conference may bring about a real reduction in armament. Explaining conditions, he said: “President Harding has the support of the Christian peoples of the world in his efforts to bring about a reduction in Armament. “One can hardly imagine with what houses the eyes of the European peoples have been turned toward America the last three years and especially now. The American people have given the world unmistakable proofs of political idealism and of international goodwill. “America did not go to war to make annexations or incited by the lust for power. A great relief work undertaken by various American agencies saved many of the wretched population, especially children, from starvation and the utmost dispair. The great modern ideals of international fellowship incorporated in the take care of Paris if by chance the enemy were to enter: ‘Our souls are weary with quibblings, with bickering and monetary maneuvers. What we need to hear once more ringing through the land is the word, self-sacrifice.’ It was the spiritual forces of the whole universe which gave right to the victory. Let us be ever sure sure that we are right and go ahead!” “And now the military man who speaks of his comrade, the unknown soldier at whose tomb mothers weep as they recall with pride the heroism of their own brave sons. The American general only finds words of fraternity and of human charity at the tomb of the soldier who is for him the splendid symbol of devotion and sacrifice: ‘My Comrade,’ he says. In your heart there is malice toward none, but charity for all. You fought against the calamity of war but your work will not be completed until the burdens which preparations for war impose are lifted from the shoulders of all peoples.” “We see what a stamp of Christianity is impressed on the souls of our noble American friends.” WOULD PLACE FLASH SIGNALS AT CORNERS Permission to post, at several of the most dangerous highway crossings and intersections in the county, electrically lighted and operated warning signals, recently perfected by the Auto club of So. Calif., is asked from the board of supervisors in a communication from that body. The lights, which flash a warning signal at frequent intervals, have been experimented with in Los Angeles county for nearly two months and have proven most satisfactory, the auto club’s communication states. INVITE SUPERVISORS The Orange county supervisors were today in receipt of a formal call to the meeting of the League of the Southwest, at Riverside December 8, 9 and 10, when the status of the Colorado river development project is to be considered, and an effort made to shift out the conflicting ideas presented by various elements interested. Governors of Western states and others prominent in reclamation are expected to attend the conference. At the same time and place will be held the initial meeting of the Interstate Colorado river commission, formed through the joint action of state and federal governments.

STEAL PENNIES FROM MATCH SLOT MACHINE Like the well known slogan of the tradesman, "No Job Is Too Big, No Job Too Small," for those behind So. California's crime wave this winter. Police Officers Elliott and Murray were called to the Santa Fe in Santa Ana to investigate a report that some thief had stolen a match box slot machine, together with the pennies dropped therein, from the station. The machine, emptied of its contents, was found by the officers in a box car. They are yet undecided as to whether the hoboes desired the pennies or the matches. Typewriters —The R.A.

Center, Anaheim SUPERVISORS BAR UNION PACIFIC SPUR Supervisors stood pat yesterday upon resolution supporting the property owners of Olive, Villa Park, McPherson and Tustin in their fight against the proposal of the Union Pacific to build a spur track through their communities. The supervisors firmly and positively refused to rescind the resolution. A request that it be rescinded was presented by F. E. Pettit of Los Angeles attorney for the U.P. The supervisors said that they had no objection to the coming of the main line through the county, and would be willing to pass a resolution endorsing that move, but they had been unable to find any reason for withdrawing from their position in relation to the frostless belt spur. "All the Union Pacific usks is a fair shake," said Pettit. "This board represents the entire county, and your action carries the idea that the entire county is opposing the spur. The entire county is not opposing it. What opposition there is comes from some of the residents of certain sections only. All we want is for the case to be heard by the railroad commission on its merits." "That is, let those who are interested making their showing, and not confuse the issue by making it appear that the entire county is against the plan, when it is not." "So far as I am concerned, not for a minute will I consider rescinding acton," said Supervisor N. T. Edwards of Orange. "I do not know of a single resident of those communities who wants this spur track, and I am for staying by them." Supervisor H. A. Wassum said that Tustin already has railroads enough, and there is not business enough now on the Tustin branch, which the U.P. proposes to parallel, to do more than "give a train a day some days." Supervisors S. H. Finley and T. B. Talbert said they failed to see any public necessity for the spur. Pettit said that one Anaheim man, Mr. Reuther, said he would save $2500 a year on freight for fertilizer if the new line were put in. HOW DID RED MEN OF OLD KILL GAME How did Indians in the frontier days manage to kill wild game, especially buffaloes, with bows and arrows? If they could do no better than two members of a blanket tribe who were brot to Amarillo, Tex., the other day from their Oklahoma reservation to give an exhibition at the frontier round-up, getting fresh meat must have been a problem. It was planned that these two Indians should show their prowess with bows and arrows, as a reminder of former stirring times in the west. It was first planned that the Indians should kill a typical range steer, but after maintaining the animal the redmen suggested that it might be better to get a calf, as the hide of the steer would probably be too tough for the arrows. Instead of riding their ponies and running down the calf and killing it, the two Indians stationed themselves on the race track in front of the grandstand and a couple of cow-punchers drove the calf by them. As the animal passed the Indians they let fly a couple of arrows which penetrated its side probably a couple of inches. At this juncture the calf took off across the cield, with a couple of cowboys in pursuit. It was finally rounded up again and the two arrows which were still hanging on its side were removed and returned to the Indians to be used over again. The calf was then driven for the second time before the marksmen, who, for the lack of ammunition, used the same arrows. This time only one Indian was fortunate enough to get a hit, as the other redman could not secure an advantageous position. As before, a kill was not registered and cries for the humane officer were heard from the assemblage. One of the cowboys who could not stand the suffering of the animal put it out of misery by a blow with an axe. The calf was then skinned and thrown into the truck which brought the Indians to the grounds, the redmen and their families all piled in, and the truck drove off toward Oklahoma. FIRST 'CANNED HEAT' JAG CASE IS JAILED The Orange-co jail was today harboring its first case of a "canned heat jag" with the arrival from Huntington Beach of Milton Marshall, Dan Connor, Frank Farrell and Joe Smith to serve a $20 fine each. Jim Wright, their companion, was able to pay his fine to Judge War- LA HABRA, Nov. 8.-The farm center held its monthly meeting at the school house last Thursday evening; Mrs. Garretson's paper was replete with useful information, as was her report on the state insectary at Whittier. There are now seven or eight scales-eating parasites that the state insectary is propagating. She also reported what every California has the most expensive form of government-of any state in the Union, it is declared. Mr. Meyers of Los Angeles, representing the sugar interests stated that Orange-co has paid the beet growers $4,000,000, and the same amount has been paid in supplies and labor and this has been done on an assessed valuation of $25,000,000. Meyers urged the housewives to use the home product. For every pound of cane sugar used, he said, the same amount of beet sugar must be shipped east, entailing extra cost. Mr. Wahlberg gave some interesting statistics on farm bureau work in Orange-co. There are 14 bureaues in the county. Wahlberg has conducted 218 meetings, answered 3000 phone calls written 1890 letters, addressed 23,127 persons, in the last year and 1,500 people have called at the office for farm information. There are seven boys' pig clubs in the county and four boys have been sent to the state farm at Davis on prize money for the best exhibit. Another interesting bit of information was the report by Mr. Stubbs, on poultry raising in citrus or orchards. Last year 200 hens netted him in egg production 11.75 a hen, besides the fertiliser. This year he is experimenting on coops 8 by 12 feet between the rows, and moving the mon sleds to fresh earth often. Stubbs claims that 1000 hens will provide fertilizer for ten acres. Stubbs' experiment will be watched with keen interest by the local bureau, it is said. Mrs. Ellenbeth McManus was the speaker at the Parent Teacher association's regular monthly meeting last Wednesday. Mrs. McManus spoke on Health Hygiene in the School and Home.

Supervisors S. H. Finley and T. B. Talbert said they failed to see any public necessity for the spur. Pettit said that one Anaheim man, Mr. Reuther, said he would save $2500 a year on freight for fertilizer if the new line were put in. This kind of saving would be felt by residents along the spur track, too, said Pettit. Prominent residents of the Tustin-Olive district whose properties are not directly touched by the proposed branch of the Union Pacific from La Habra to Tustin today were signing a paper declaring that in their opinion the branch will be of no public use or convenience to the community as a whole; that it would be a detriment rather than a benefit; that they oppose duplication of trackage in a district that is already highly developed.

Jim Wright, their companion, was able to pay his fine to Judge Warner at Huntington Beach. The beverage partaken of by the quintet of prisoners was said to be a mixture of lemon soda with the canned heat which consists largely of wood alcohol and gasoline.

The kindergarten class gave a delightful little skit, the teacher explained that it was their own idea of an orchestra, several songs and recitations were also given by the little tots. A committee on ways and means to raise funds for a beautiful set of books for the school library was appointed by the president. Mrs. Charles Newson presided at the meeting. The monthly dinner of the Brotherhood was held at social hall. The Rev. Claud Smith addressed the men on the disarmament question. A lively discussion was held by the members and cards to be sent to congress were distributed. A plano recital of more than usual merit was given by the advanced class of Florence Rhodes Wilson at the school auditorium on Thursday evening. Those attending to success were Miss Marguerite Zike, of Waltham, Mass.; Dr. Robert Miller, of Houlston; Dr. Thomas Bessler Noma, Evelyn Pellerin, Theresa Bessler, of La Habra, Margaret Gorman, of Los Angeles, and Marketa Salveson, of Fulerton. S surprising Mrs. George Young of West Ernaast, in honor of her birthday, and having a splendid time doing it, 28 friends and relatives, descended on her home last Thursday evening. Music games and delicious refreshments were enjoyed during the evening. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Young and family, Mr. and Mrs. Merle Blackman, the Chris Schneider family, Mr. and Mrs. H. Kenney, Mrs. Edna Miller, Mrs. C.
