DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS The mind will, in its worst despair, Still ponder o'er the past. On moments of delight that were Too beautiful to last—Balfe. God created man out of the dust, but not to grovel in the dust. Advertising is to business what sunlight and moisture are to the growing plant. Emma Goldman says she is an anarchist still. She is not an anarchist still, but yet. Santa Claus sways the hearts of all by love and good will. He who rules with love and good will is a king among men. If Californians would begin now to plant forest trees extensively and systematically, year after year, it never would have a timber famine. In transmitting the budget to Congress, President Harding did not send along a sample of Director Dawes' language, such as he uses when irate. The wrath of men, vented in warfare, has brought more anguish and ruin to this world than any other calamity. If ever the time were ripe for abolishing bloody strife, it is now. One of the most fateful words is "if." It is half of life as that word is spelled, and it is the pivotal word in perhaps half of all the important actions in life—possibly more than half. It is just as reasonable to expect to find a pot of real gold at the foot of the rainbow, as to expect to find a pot of gold at the end of the promo- ECONOMIC RECOVERY OF EUROPE PROCEEDS Europe's economic plight is not so bad as some pessimists paint it. Herbert C. Hoover says, in effect. The distinguished head of the Department of Commerce is not a fantastic chaser of rainbows. He is a practical man of affairs, but he has vision, and his eyes are neither filled with rainbow hues of over-optimism nor clouded with the shadows of overdone pessimism. Mr. Hoover realizes that Europe's economic come-back necessarily must be slow and difficult. Yet Europe is recovering. There have been steady gains since the Armistice, in every country of Europe except Russia—gains in social and political stability; gains in recovery of agriculture, manufacturing and foreign trade, and in communications. The greatest drawback in Europe is the financial situation. That is dark and lowering and it is the one menace which holds disaster suspended, like a sword of Damocles, over Europe and the world. But, aside from this financial murkiness—which is not hopeless, by any means—Mr. Hoover finds the outlook for Europe is encouraging. The danger of Bolshevism is past, he concludes. And in the field of international political relations, aside from conflict in Turkey, war has ceased and treaties of peace are effective throughout the world. Russia is not threatening her neighbors with any serious military offensive. Agriculture and manufacture progress in Europe since the war is marked. There is no famine in Europe today, except in Russia. The people of Europe have gone back to productive work and thriving is following in the wake of their applied energies. Such is the reassuring picture of Europe, today and prospectively, drawn by a master hand in limning world conditions—Herbert C.

Bush Phone 172-W Letters From People In trying to comment on the passage of Albert Sidney Feagan, I find words inadequate to express my personal loss, for peet to my own father, who was a counselor ever ready to support and sustain me when the way seemed dark. It was he who taught the beautiful principles of Mary. Why go on,—words are but empty. I am but one, there are many, many more that knew him as Mr. Feagan was born in Missouri years ago, where he grew to maturity. He spent some years with his only brother, John, in the gold fields of Colorado. He, with his father, came to California some 30 years ago. They engaged in farming what is now part of the townsite Cypress. Energy fair dealing and insurerance made for them success. In 1904 he took as his life companion, May Bernette. This union is ideal. Together they took the forms of life with the sunshine, never complaining, never faltering in love and devotion toward one another, that overcomes all obstacles. Mr. Feagan was always a friend to the children. Anything of an educational nature, received his undied support. The key to his success was in the whole-hearted manner in which he accomplished his undertakings. He seemed to have excited faith in all his undertakings. His Masonic career was emblematic of his character. He gave to Mary all that was possible. Every moral standard he made an ideal, and so lived at all Masons could well follow his example. A brother Mason, Rev. Bruce Brown was eloquent in his sermon the chapel, but admitted that words were empty in expressing the sadness of so good a man.

Feagan to morn his loss. All man and has lost a true friend. And all who know them are sincere in their sympathy for the bereaved wife and New York Letter by Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—America's newest and largest church has begun services here. Its membership extends all over the country and literally thousands can be present at every one of its services. Although duly organized with a pastor and assistant pastor it is non-sectarian and of decidedly liberal view. It is known as the "First Radio Church of America" and had its foundation in the idea of Walter J. Garvey who is the owner of what is perhaps the most powerful and finest radio set operated by any amateur in the country. Mr. Garvey conceived the idea of using this set to the advantage of what he calls "applied radio telephony." From his home message, sermon, song or prayer may be sent out which can be picked up and transmitted by more than 200,000 radio operators in the nation. It is his idea that in grouping people who have something of value to tell the world, in his laboratory, he can summon the operators throughout the country who will in turn inform an awaiting public of what is being said in the place. The services for Sunday have already started and more people were probably listening in on church services last Sunday than would fill the largest church edifice ever constructed. According to Mr. Garvey it is not necessary to have an antenna on the roof of a house receiving the service. The substitution of an ordinary tin dishpan on the fire escape or the use of the brass bed will permit the transmission. It is a wonder more people are not blind!

"We are importing at the rate of about $300,000,000 worth of foreign goods per month into the United States," declares Congressman J. W. Fordney, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. "Most of those goods could be made here. There is not a manufactured article produced in the United States in which the labor cost is less than 90 per cent of the total cost—I mean following the raw material from start to finish. Now, if that is true, of the $300,000,000 that we are sending abroad each month to buy foreign made goods, $250,000,000 is going out from the people of the United States to employ German, French, English, Japanese and Chinese labor, while our laborers are walking the streets in idleness. "Under free trade we must come to a common level somewhere, if we compete with all the countries of the world. Today German labor is getting from 60 to 65 cents per day in gold for ten or twelve hours. Japanese and Chinese labor today is from 12 to 18 cents per day in gold for twelve hours' work. If we had to be placed on a par with the imports from those countries, do you believe we could lift those foreign countries up to our standard of living? Not at all. We have got to come down to a common level somewhere, but we are not ready to do that, and we are not going to do it." Revision Demanded "The people of the country are demanding tariff revision. Some people say that Canada will retaliate. Canada is the best customer we have in the world, on the basis of population. There is no place in the world where our balance of trade is stronger than in Canada. Canada has no reason to complain about the rates fixed in the new tariff bill; none whatever. I shall tell you why. "Last year Canada collected $19.50 in import duties for every man, woman and child in Canada. Great Britain, the great free trade country of the worlds or said to be, collected $16.50 per capita, or $728,000,000. We collect $3.15. Japan is collected this country." The commandery of Fullerton actla as escort to the Buena Park lodge A. M. as that lodge escorted the body to the herst and to the ausoleum. The beautiful Masone trial service was rendered at the aussoleum where Mr. Feagan was old to rest beside his father and only sister. Beside the wife, May Feagan, here remains the brother, John J.

Bush—Phone 17 Fordney Shows Need United States Valuation Copyright, Underwood & Underwood Congressman J. W. Fordney, Chairman of House Ways and Means Committee. "Some people are opposing American valuation, some of the great importers of the country. Some of them have sent out circulars appealing to the merchants of the country, the manufacturers, to appeal to their congressmen and their senators to oppose American valuation. Why? I shall tell you why. Last year in the customs office of New York alone there were fifty-four hundred cases of under valuation, and this year they are running at the rate of five hundred casps a month. Why do foreigners who export to this country, or people of this country need United States Valuation? Will There Be a Victrola in Your Home Xmas Morning?
