DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Man's at the best a creature frail and vain, In knowledge ignorant, in strength but weak; Subject to sorrow, losses, sickness, pain, Each storm his state, his mind, his body break.—Mrs. Bradstreet. Speaking of German money, it is the uneasy mark. The speech of President Harding, welcoming the arms conference and the address of Secretary Hughes, accepting the chairmanship of the conference, will rank among the most notable deliverances of the age, in promotion of world peace. Both of these distinguished men dwelt strongly upon the imperativeness of prompt action to relieve the burdens of armament and to foster the cause of peace. Their were utterances typical of American candor, directness and energy. The United States is willing to send to the bottom of the sea its own warships to the value of hundreds of millions of dollars and solemnly to bind itself to limit its naval construction for a long period of years, if the other great haritime powers will do the same. This epochial proposal on the part of the United States is not prompted by cowardice or by any unworthy motive. It springs from a sincere desire on the part of the government and the people of the United States to ease the burdens of armament and to prevent a recurrence of the World War. TAKE VOWS TO BETTER YOUR SPEECH There are many cogent reasons why each and every American man, woman and child should give studious attention to betterment of speech. All become careless, at times, and slaughter the mother tongue or treat it with piratical ruthlessness. Observance of "Better Speech" week has had its good effects, no doubt. But this focusing of attention upon the quality of the speech of the people is too important to be dropped with only one week's observance. The pledge that was submitted to school children during the week is worth keeping for reference as it stresses, in graphic way, the value, importance and pleasureableness of improving speech. It would be well if everyone made this pledge in earnestness and with sincere purpose to observe it: That I will not dishonor my country's speech by leaving off the last syllable of words; That I will say a good American "yes" or "no" instead of the Indian grunt "uhm" and "nuphum" or a foreign "ya" or "yeh" or "nope"; That I will improve American speech by enunciating distinctly and speaking pleasantly and sincerely; That I will try to make my country's language beautiful for the many boys and girls of foreign nations who come here to live; That I will learn to articulate correctly one word a day for a year. UNKNOWN' HONORED 2400 YEARS AGO NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Twenty-four hundred years before the Unknown soldiers were buried with all the honors a grateful world could be stow upon them there was buried in FARM BUREAU HOLDS DIRECTORS' MEETING The postponed monthly meeting of the Orange-co farm bureau directors was held yesterday after noon in the farm bureau office. Reports were heard, and plans for the upcoming meeting were discussed. 'UNKNOWN' HONORED 2400 YEARS AGO NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Twenty-four hundred years before the Unknown soldiers were buried with all the honors a grateful world could be stow upon them, there was buried in Athens, at the end of the first year of the Great War of Ancient times, at the public expense, an unknown soldier of the Athenian democracy. This interesting and particularly timely revelation is brought to light by Thomas Shaw Bosworth in a most engaging article lately appearing in one of the New York Sunday sheets. According to Mr. Bosworth the Peloponnesian War and the great war of our days offer a striking parallel in that they were fought in the interest of the same human ideals. That war ended in the collapse of both the contestants, and meant the decline for a time of the Golden Days of classic Greece. But at the end of the first year of the struggle, while the emotions of the Athentians were still fresh and clear, the great Pericles gave a patriotic oration at the public funeral of the Unknown. These FARM BUREAU HOLDS DIRECTORS' MEETING The postponed monthly meeting of the Orange-co farm bureau directors was held yesterday after noon in the farm bureau office. Reports were heard, and plans for the ensuing month formulated. A committee which has been investigating the grain marketing situation made a report. The committee which has been investigating the cost of distillate was also to report. The county-wide membership drive scheduled for Dec. 5 to 10 was outlined. R. D. Plaherty will be in charge of the drive, which will have as a goal the doubling of the membership of the organization. A committee of five will be appointed to supervise the work of the campaign. A self-made man knows the value of a dollar, but the fellow without one has also learned the lesson. words defined the soul of a democracy and spelled its ideal development, and speak today as clearly as on that occasion. Our genial F. P. A. out here epitomizes it in his "What ought to be unknown is war." Great Leaders George Washington Strength of Character Generosity WHEN Washington's admirers would have made him a king he had the good sense and generosity of soul to refuse. He is one of the few great men WHEN Washington's admirers would have made him a king he had the good sense and generosity of soul to refuse. He is one of the few great men whom ambition did not tempt into some impossible task. As the Father of His Country his fame is now secure beyond all reproach. BRUNSWICK TIRES Are built of the best materials, with a generous measure of value in every tire. Their makers build them for the future, as Washington built. They build them on the policy that every single tire must give full value in actual mileage. Try a set of Brunswick Tires. Or try one tire. Keep your own record of Brunswick performance. And you will soon use all Brunswicks. Anaheim Vulcanizing Works S. R. WALTER, Prop. 156 So. Los Angeles St. Phone 259 for Service Car Buy a Spare NEW York Letter "Rien du tout!" is the latest color for woman's garb, according to New York shops. It means, sweepingly, "nothing at all," and one store devoted exclusively to hosiery, says intriguingly in this morning's ad; "Rien du tout—nothing at all—is the newest, smartest, shade. It is particularly effective shown in our new hosiery, giving the impression of no hose being there." The Forty-second street station of the Sixth-avenue elevated is beyond a doubt the most popular waiting place in town. Passengers forget to be impatient at delays while they are standing there. For silent vaudeville entertainers them while they wait. On the west side of the avenue, and right on a line with the platform is a hall rented to the theatrical companies and vauderville folk for rehearsals. It is almost always filled with actors or prospective actors going thru dances, dramatic sketches and bits of melodrama. The shades are always up, and although the windows are closed so that no sound can be heard, the pantomime is enough to entertain the elevated throngs. William F. Schneider, who will retire next January after 12 years as county clerk, has just learned that he has been missing a great source of revenue from his office. The county clerk is entitled to keep all fares paid in by the Hell Gate pilots for their licenses. There are four of the pilots from New York county and they pay 25 cents a year, each. The theatrical sandwich man is back. One of the big producing companies of New York has put 160 of them out on the streets to advertise current plays. They selected them from the poblesh in Bryant Park. They say that by the end of another week, they will care for 1000 of the unemployed with these sandwich jobs. A professor in one of the city's colleges was interested, when he examined the registration card of one of his students, to discover that the address was the same as his own. "Why, that's the apartment house I live in," he said to the student. "Have you moved into it recently?" "No, professor," the boy replied. "We have lived there 13 years." "And I have lived there 15," the professor exclaimed. Once more a dog, just a plain dog, is the hero. It was a homeless dog, named "Bum," who roused 22 families at 434 West Twenty-ninth street, the other night, when the first spiral of smoke crept up from the roof, and he didn't stop barking until the police and fire department had arrived and the last family was safely out. "Bum" knew all those families and they knew him and had given him scraps of food, while he had walked the beat with the patrolmen. When a bomb shattered the Broad-street windows of the Stock exchange last year, the panes were replaced with second-hand ones gathered from far and wide. The signs they once bore were carefully removed, but the rains we have had this fall must have had some sort of special clarifying effect which rendered distinct again the dark shadows of those earlier signs. Anyhow, the other day, when brilliant sunlight flooded the exchange after a heavy rain, a group of brokers were horrified to read, right there on their own windows overhanging Broad street, these intriguing words, "Fresh Chicken" and "Hot Buns at all Hours." They had never appeared before since the windows were put in but they cast a strange glamor over the busy floor that day. The governing committee has had heavy curtains hung before the windows. Some enterprising person decided to stage a special little reception act of his own for Marshal Foch the day of his recent arrival here. It worked out to be even more individual than he had planned it, however. A "living statue" was the idea, representing some suitable occasion in French history. The general understanding is that Jeanne d'Arc was to be the center of the tableau. Anyway, a horse and two human actors had parts, and pose was taken at the steps of the city hall, where the major and other city officials were to welcome the marshal. A horse covered with gilt paint and a man and woman in similar costume, decked out additionally with some pieces of armor made up of scene, taking their places just before Marshal Foch arrived. Unfortunately, the wires had been crossed somewhere. The actors got an impression that it was General Diaz who was expected at that hour; and accordingly they wore helmets and cuirasses of old Homer. WHAT DOES YOUR CHILD READ? The Public Library News of Savannah, Georgia, in its October number has a message to parents which is worth quoting. It is as follows: "What does your child read? (or don't you know?)" Does he read anything he can get, or does he read the best you can get for him? Does he read books which are positively vicious and harmful? Probably not, but, Are you content to have him read nothing but books which merely "won't hurt him any" when there are hundreds of books which he will like just as well, which will give him something to grow on? You select his clothes very carefully, so that he may look well. You are very careful to see that he gets proper food so that he may be well. Are you equally careful to see that he gets proper reading, so that his mind may grow well? You know that not all canned goods are of equal value. You insist that your grocer sell you the brand that you want; other brands you would not have on your table. Then why should you think that one book is "just as good" as another? Many books written for children (and for grown-ups too) are very much like canned goods. The writers have learned what it is easiest to produce and sell. They (find a popular "brand") and continue to market it, manufacturing new books as rapidly as possible. What does your child read? (Or don't you know?) If it's from Witman's it's good.

"And I have lived there 15," the professor exclaimed. "That is New York." After a long rest, E. H. Sothren and Julia Marlowe are about to start on another Shakespearean tour. They will come to the Centuary Theater here, the last day of this month, and will later carry their repertoire across the country. "Twelfth Night," "Hamlet," "The Taming of the Shrew," and "The Merchant of Venice" are on their program. ASK NEW TRIAL IN AUTO CRASH CASE Renewal by A. N. Cox of his defense against damage claims brought by Noel and Blanche Newton of Tustin, on which a jury awarded the Newtons approximately $11,000, recently, in the superior court, is revealed with the filing of his notice for a new trial. The motion, which is based upon alleged errors in law at the trial, irregular jury proceedings and excessive award of damages through alleged passion or prejudice, will lay the groundwork for an appeal of the case, which will be taken, it is understood, if the motion for a new trial is denied. The Santa Ana man was held responsible by the jury for an automobile collision at Grand avenue and Seventeenth-st., Santa Ana, last year, Mrs. Newton receiving injuries at the time which are declared to be permanent.
