Some of the greatest and best riches on earth have nothing to do with the dollar mark. Better wait a minute at the railroad crossing and not take the chance of going straight into eternity or going to the hospital for weeks or months. Considerable improvement in business conditions on the Pacific Coast is noted in official reports of the Federal Reserve Board. These reports are not trumped up, but are made with care and are trustworthy. As one gives in life, so one receives. No one gets real good out of life without giving. Man is a social being and must needs give of himself in the service of others, or else default in his manifest duty and suffer the penalties of that default. "A dollar's worth of government service for every dollar spent" is the thing to be desired in municipal county, state and national government. The taxpayers should insist upon having this and keep on insisting and enforcing their insistence at the polls, until they get it. "Schools and the means of education" are within the reach of all, in this country. Illiteracy has not a leg of excuse for its being, upon which to stand. Each and every illiterate child and adult in the United States should be given the rudiments of education. Millions in ignorance disgrace this enlightened nation. THE PLEASANT TORTURE OF AMERICAN ENTHUSIASM Recently a foreign surgeon approaching these shores became panicky at the prospect of greeting the American public. From the reports that had reached him of the heartiness of American welcome as expressed in the gripping handshake he feared that the constant pressure of thousands of fingers might numb the digital skill that had made his name world-famous. The lovable Prince of Wales while a visitor here was forced to the necessary impoliteness of extending his left hand after his right had been crushed in fervid handclaps. During the various receptions that are being accorded to Marshal Foch, now touring the country as the guest of the American Legion, the members of the Marshal's party, particularly his personal physician; Dr. Andre, stand by to warn those who greet the marshal not to squeeze his hand. It is hard for those who are afforded this close contact to resist the pulse; they have to be reminded that marshal has received the cordial grip of 50,000 persons. The marshal, however, puts all the force of which he is capable in his handclasp. "I fear that it will be months before Marshal Foch will be able to lift his baton again," said Dr. Andre, who accompanied the marshal all through the war, "but he has told me he would rather be crippled than lose the opportunity to meet all the friendly hands that are outstretched to him in this country."

In most instances the increases amounted to more than 50 per cent, while the amount of capital invested in public and private enterprises in 1920 was more than 200 per cent more than that invested in 1910. Orange county, with an approximate land area of 508,800 acres, contained 4,188 farms with a total area of $25,703 acres, according to the bulletin. Of this number 206,945 acres were improved land. The number of farms irrigated in 1919 was 3,846, or 91.8 per cent of the total, an increase of 78.6 per cent over the 2,215 irrigated farms in 1909. The irrigated area in 1919 amounted to 27,320 acres or 43.5 per cent of the improved land, an increase of 58.6 over the amount of acreage irrigated in 1909. This latter amounted to 55,056. The capital invested in irrigated farms on January 1, 1920, representing the actual investments of large corporations and the estimated investments of private partnership and co-operative enterprises, was $6,501,902. On July 1, 1910, the invested capital totaled $1,948,246. The increase was 233.7 per cent. In 1920 various enterprises were capable of irrigating 102,076 acres. Existing enterprises in 1910 were able to supply water to 63,486 acres. The increase in acreage during the ten years was 60.8 per cent. The number of independent irrigating enterprises increased from $19 in 1910 to 1,012 in 1920. These enterprises operated twenty-seven reservoirs with a capacity of 1,044 acre feet in 1920 and nineteen reservoirs with a capacity of 189 acre feet in 1910. The number of flowing wells decreased considerably during the ten-year period. In 1910 there were 588 wells with a capacity of 92,689 gallons of water a minute, but in 1920 there were only 385 wells with a total capacity of 34,199 gallons a minute. Pumped wells, however, PAYS FINE HE IMPoses When a Brooklyn printer was haled up in court recently on a charge of intoxication the magistrate fined him $1 and costs. The printer explained that he had only money to pay his car fare to work; that it was pay-day at his plant and he would return later with the money. The magistrate hand ed over the fine from his own pocket to the clerk of the court and told the printer he could pay him later. Celebrating a friend's wedding was the excuse given for the jag and his presence in court by the printer. creased from 580 in 1910 to 1,151 in 1920, while the number of pumping plants in operation in 1920 were 1,002. In 1910 there were 433 plants. The estimated cost of irrigation enterprises in 1920 totaled $6,758,-081, an increase of 246.9 per cent over the cost of the enterprises in 1910, which amounted to $1,948,246. The average cost per acre based on the estimated final cost and the area included in 1920 enterprises was $53.79. In 1910 the average cost per acre was $27.27.

C., begs leave most respectfully to memorialize the International Arms Congress now assembled at Washington, D. C., as follows: As Christians earnestly striving to follow the teachings of Christ Jesus our Lord and his Apostles, we hold: That war is a relic of barbarism, destructive of good morals and a reproach to Christian peoples; That the principles taught by the Lord Jesus Christ preclude consecrated Christians from engaging in war, bloodshed or violence in any form; That no nation can be said to be truly Christian which fails to adhere to those principles taught by the Lord and his Apostles; That the ruling or governing factors of the nations commonly called "Christendom" are now and for some time have been, to wit FINANCIAL PRINCES, otherwise termed Controllers of Commerce, STATESMEN or Political Leaders, who formulate the laws, and CLERGYMEN and other Ecclesiastical Teachers, the last named, both Catholic and Protestant, having, contrary to the Word of God, joined hands with the two first-mentioned factors (which three component parts here mentioned we for convenience and identification designate "The Ruling Powers"); That the delegates and representatives of The Ruling Powers now assembled in international conference at Washington for the purpose of the limitation of armaments, and insofar as possible for the establishment of conditions of peace and prosperity among the people, have before them a laudable objective. But we may be pardoned for humbly suggesting that the end desired cannot be attained by a partial or even complete disarmament of the nations. Reformation of men or nations will not result from the destruction of arms, but genuine reformation of men will lead automatically to the complete destruction of all instruments of war and all forms of violence. While war is terrible beyond description of human phrase, present time. Within a short time His kingdom will be fully and completely established and the old order of things completely gone. To that kingdom all earthly powers must be subject either willingly or unwillingly. The trouble upon the nations beginning in 1914 is out the expression of God's vengeance against all unrighteous systems in the earth. The holy prophets of Jehovah indicate how that the kingdom of Christ, the Messiah, may be established without great suffering to humanity, provided that the Divine way be adopted. You will pardon us, therefore, for calling your attention to those Divine prophecies long ago recorded, which in substance indicate what the proper course is, to wit: (1) Let the Financial Princes, theControllers of Commerce, cease profiteering; cease exploiting and deceiving the people by systematic propaganda, and be content with a reasonable income sufficient to ensure their own maintenance and support; let them use their power for the general welfare of the people to the end that the idle may be employed, the hungry fed, and each man be afforded an opportunity to provide for himself and loved ones the things decent and honest in the sight of God and men. (2) Let the Statesmen or Politicians cease to act as instruments of selfish powers and selfish interests and henceforth honestly and impartially represent and safeguard the interests and general welfare of all the people. (3) Let the Clergymen and other Religious Teachers, who claim to be ministers of God's Word and therefore the nobles among the people, divorce themselves completely from commercial and political affiliations, return to their first love recognize God's Word as truth, honestly and faithfully teach the people the principles taught by Jesus and the Apostles, and thereby prepare the people to receive the kingdom of Christ, the Messiah, who alone can and will establish peace on earth and good toward men. Let the ruling factors by example as well as by word thus lead the people in the right way and prove that they are the real friends of heed the words' of God, refrain from violence of every kind or form, seek meekness and righteousness, and the occasion for armament and war will cease. These things done, the kingdom of Christ, the Messiah, will be established on earth without suffering. We shall be pardoned for saying that the prophecies clearly indicate that if the divinely prescribed remedy be ignored, this being the day of God's vengeance, as declared by his prophets of old, his wrath will be visited upon every government and system of Christendom; and both Jesus and the prophets declare that such shall be "a time of trouble such as the world has never known," at which time shall "Michael (the Messiah) stand up, the great prince that standeth for the children of thy people." This standing up of Michael will effect the deliverance of mankind from all forms of oppression and will mark the beginning of righteousness on earth. The result will be God's will done on earth as it is done in heaven, for which Jesus taught Christians to pray. Great responsibility rests upon the Ruling Factors of the nations of earth now in the hour of dire distress and perplexity; and we shall be pardoned for requesting such to give earnest consideration to the Word of God, having in mind that "blessed is that nation whose God is Jehovah." Resolved that a copy of this memorial be delivered to the Honorable Charles Evans Hughes, Chairman of the International Arms Congress now in session at Washington, D. C.; that copies be furnished to each delegate or representative of the nations attending said conference; that a copy be delivered to the President of the United States and copies to the members of Congress and to the public press. Upon motion duly put the above resolution was unanimously adopted by the convention this 27th day of November, 1921. DR. R. A. GAMBLE, Chairman of Convention. FRANK H.

But we may be pardoned for humbly suggesting that the end desired cannot be attained by a partial or even complete disarmament of the nations. Reformation of men or nations will not result from the destruction of arms, but genuine reformation of men will lead automatically to the complete destruction of all instruments of war and all forms of violence. While war is terrible beyond description of human phrase, yet it is not the worst thing to be feared. Bolshevism, as a great menacing monster, is knocking at the door of every nation and the destruction of all law and order is threatened. To prevent such terrible disaster and to save the people from indescribable suffering is the tremendous problem which, we submit, requires more than human wisdom. We therefore suggest that the heeding of Divine wisdom and the adoption of the Divine remedy as prescribed by God's holy Word is vitally essential at this time. The kingdom of Christ, the Messiah, for which he taught his disciples to pray, is at hand. This is evidenced by the World War famine, pestilence, social upheaval, distress of nations with perplexity, etc., all of which constitute the fulfillment of propheclesy made by Jesus himself as relating to the people, divorce themselves completely from commercial and political affiliations, return to their first love recognize God's Word as truth, honestly and faithfully teach the people the principles taught by Jesus and the Apostles, and thereby prepare the people to receive the kingdom of Christ, the Messiah, who alone can and will establish peace on earth and good will toward men. Let the ruling factors by example as well as by word thus lead the people in the right way and prove that they are the real friends of the people; and let all the people DR. R. A.
