WHAT could be more fitting at this particular time than the following bit of anonymously published advice to husbands and wives? It should be taken with reservations, however, as it would not be wise to antagonize the "in-laws" on either side; Preserve sacredly the privacies of your own house, your married state and your heart. Let no father or mother or sister or brother ever presume to come between you or share the joys or sorrows that belong to you two alone. With mutual help build your quiet world, not allowing your dearest earthly friend to be the confidante of aught that concerns your domestic peace. Let moments of alienation, if they occur, be healed at once. Never, no never, speak of it outside; but to each other confess and all will come out right. Never let the morrow's sun find you at variance. Renew and renew your vow. It will do you good; and thereby your minds will grow together contented in that love which is stronger than death, and you will be truly one. Kansag City has done itself proud in its generously hospitable entertaining of the American Legion convention and its distinguished guests. Strong in its Americanism, that city showed the noted guests from abroad what any other typical American community would have shown, had the convention been held somewhere else. BANKING IN CALIFORNIA THRIVES WELL That California banks have been and are thriving and that they have successfully withstood the enormous credit strain of the deflated period, is the welcome word officially given by Jonathan S. Dodge, superintendent of the state bank department. Not a single state bank has failed during this trying time. The banks are distributing new credit, and upon this era of prosperity in this state is in urospect of building. This is the fifth state in the Union in banking power—a truly enviable position, when the financial strength of some of the older commonwealths are taken into consideration. It is noteworthy that Californias are great savers, inasmuch as approximately half the population of the state have savings accounts. This showing is remarkable, for, the country over, only one person in ten has a savings account. California banks have served a very useful function in the abnormal period during and since the great war. They are in condition now to take up the functioning of the greater era of expansion and development upon which this state is entering. While they serve the public, they also are serving their own interests. In truth, interests of the public and of financial institutions are mutual, and should be. VILLAGE GOSSIP When a blushing suitor in Laredo, Texas, sends roses to his best girl, you can gamble they bear a tag marked "Santa Ana." If up in Miles City, Mont., a self-rard, jr., of Santa Ana, by the commanding officer. At the outbreak of the World War, Sherard enlisted, and was immediately assigned to order duty with VILLAGE GOSSIP When a blushing suitor in Laredo, Texas, sends roses to his best girl, you can gamble they bear a tag marked "Santa Ana." If up in Miles City, Mont., a self-conscious sheep-herder spends two weeks' pay on cut flowers for the district school ma'am, the flowers are pretty sure to have been expressed from Orange county. And when a famous movie star yawns from her Hollywood court of mornings to embrace an armful of tender buds, it is nine chances to one that they came from Santa Ana. For Santa Ana has a new industry, still in its infant stage, but rapidly becoming a lusty member of Orange county's money making family. Cut flowers are being sent out from Santa Ana to every part of California, hey are expressed to Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Montana. At the bankers' convention which was held in Los Angeles last month roses from Amling Brothers' cut flower plant were used exclusively as wall and table decorations. Santa Ana flowers are also in demand among the most prominent of hotel and cafe managers. At the present time approximately 75,000 cut flowers are shipped from Santa Ana every month with every prospect for an increase in this number during and after the Christmas season. Preparations are now being made to ship 50,000 cut flowers during the Christmas week alone, it was announced at the Amling Brothers' plant today. The flowers are shipped from Santa Ana to Los Angeles. There they are placed on the market by a commission house maintained by the local men, and are distributed throughout California and the surrounding states. There flies in Santa Ana today the same flag, which for years floated over the headquarters of Major General Strong's Fortieth Division in France, and which, in consideration of faithful service and exceptional valor, was presented to Lincoln Sherrard, Jr., of Santa Ana, by the commanding officer. At the outbreak of the World War, Sherrard enlisted, and was immediately assigned to order duty with Major General Strong. For ten months he served in the United States, and during this time the flag which he now possesses flew continually over the headquarters, he claims. When the unit went over seas, he accompanied the commander in his capacity as orderly, while the flag went along as a symbol of democracy. For fourteen months the bunting marked the divisional headquarters and during that time Sherrard did valorous deeds, it is claimed. He has exhibited to his employer letters from Major General Strong in which he is cited for bravery in carrying dispatches. Hence it was not surprising, his friends claim, that when the division reached these shores once more, and Sherrard was discharged, his commander presented him with the flag under which he had served. He has retained it and prizes it highly. Sherrard is a member of the Redlands post, American Legion, but resides at 108 North Birch street, Santa Ana. President Harding's victory went up in smoke the other day. So did those of other successful candidates at the presidential election of last year, when the returns for Orange county were burned by order of County Clerk Joe Backs. Under the law the election returns must be held in the custody of the county clerk for one year following election. He Orange county returns have been stored away in the courthouse for that time.

This, dear reader, is a man who feels very sad. He has just learned he will have to pay unempty steen dollars for repairs on the Ford he rudely jostled in the highway. Which accounts for his sadness. But if he had been insured with the Auto Club of Orange County he would not be suffering so. Do you get the moral, dear reader? AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF ORANGE COUNTY 519 N. Main St. Phone 452 Santa Ana COUNTY AUTO CLUB FORCED TO EXPAND Just as soon as the plans are completed and contracts given out, alterations will be made at the office of the Automobile Club of Orange county. According to A. S. Ralph, manager of the club, increase in the business of the club has made it necessary to enlarge the office interior and change the arrangements to take care of the additional office help needed to carry on the affairs of the club. "We are growing daily," said Ralph, "and must therefore make provisions for additional employees to carry on our affairs." "When we moved into our present quarters, some time ago, we thought that we would have sufficient floor space to take care of all growth for a considerable time to come. "But we have become so well known during the past year or so and business has increased with such leaps and bounds that we have simply outgrown present quarters. Now we must make ready for the future. "It is only logical to suppose that growing at the rate we have been, we will continue to grow. "People of Orange county now recognize the Automobile Club of Orange County as one of the stable institutions of the county. They have confidence in it and its directory, and more and more of the county residents are placing their insurance with or thrus us yearly."

STEPHENS RAISES FLAG AT SANTA ANA Flag raising ceremonies at which Gov. Stephens was the principal speaker, were held in Birch park yesterday. Thousands of residents of Orange co. attended the ceremonies when a beautiful American flag was unfurled over the park. Yesterday's program occupied two hours and thousands stood thruout the addresses. Speakers besides the governor were Atty. Clyde Bishop and Atty. E. T. Langley. Governor Stephens was ushered to the platform at the opening of the program by a delegation of the executive committee in charge of the Armistice day exercises. "No man in Calif. has done more to aid the American Legion in its constructive legislation for the aid of ex-service men than has Governor Stephens," declared Maurice Endler, commander of Santa Ana Post, N. 131 American Legion, in introducing the governor. In his address Gov. Stephens expressed a hope for the success of the disarmament conference. The governor's speech consisted almost entirely of an outline of legislation passed in the interest of ex-service men.
