DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Thought Precedes the will to think, and error lives Ere reason can be born. — Congreve There are no taxes in heaven. But hide your time; do not rush to get there. The dove of peace may begin nesting at any time anywhere on or along the Pacific. Narrowness, intolerance and bigotry harm any good cause in which they may be enlisted. Luck is a brittle straw when one is sinking in the waters of adversity. But pluck is a life-preserver. Behold, how cheerful and pleasant a thing it is to pay an income-tax installment just ten days before Christmas. Those Washington Bonifaces can see wherein it would be profitable to have Arms Conferences in session there all the year around. This four-power agreement to keep the Pacific pacified is a species of water power development that is gripping the world's interest. The political pot here in California never cools off completely. It is stewing at present, in anticipation of the state election, next year. An endowment of good common sense and good character is worth more to any young person or adult than an inheritance of millions of dollars. BETTERMENT IN MEXICO IS PRONOUNCED Very marked improvement in pacification, in government, and in economic status has been effected in Mexico since General Obregon assumed the presidency of the sister republic one year ago. Within the year a greater measure of peace has been brought to the torn land south of the Rio Grande than it has enjoyed since the days of Porifro Diaz. President Obregon, while firm against revolutionary outbreaks, has not been cruel and bloodthirsty. Pacification has been effected without shocking atrocities. Much has been accomplished in government. General Obregon is a liberal promoter of education. He has created a new cabinet post, Secretary of Education, and is systematically developing school facilities throughout the republic. Transportation, too, is receiving vigorous attention. The rundown federal-owned lines have been reorganized as to management, and their rehabilitation is under way. The agrarian problem is not yet solved. But the Obregon administration is coping with it in earnestness and good faith, which gives hope for ultimate solution to the satisfaction of the Mexican people. President Obregon has brought his government well along toward the point of official recognition by the United States government. Obstacles in the way are more or less technical, and there is reason to believe that recognition soon will be given. Friends of Mexico on this side of the border are gratified to note the progress made and the hopeful outlook for even greater advancement in the years to come. 1.

The recently organized walnut committee of the farm bureau set out to bring the institute to Orange-co and succeeded. Santa Barbara had her heart set on it but owing to the larger walnut interests of Orange-co, the representative committee decided in the latter's favor. Walnut growers of Orange-co may consider themselves fortunate to have the institute brot here. Every grower and association should boost to make it a big success. The committee that will have charge of local arrangements is: James Smiley, Orange, A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, H. H. Blee, Capistrano, George Ross, Anaheim, B. F.

DOLAN, President A. B. McCOO J. H. WENTS, Vice-President NEW YORK LETTER by Luce Jeanne Price One more notable field of praiseworthy achievement has been added by the Pulitzer prizes at Columbia University. Cartooning is the newly recognized art. The best play, the best novel, the best news story have all been subjects for the prizes in past years. Next February $500 for the best American cartoon will and new rest to the competition. The cartoon must embody an idea made clearly apparent; show good drawing, and striking pictorial effect, and must help in some cause of public importance. The people who insist upon realism on the stage—to the point of having real food and real drinks served when occasion demands—should listen to the and story of Mephisto, the monkey who has been these many seasons, amusing audiences with his "soused" act. Mephisto has been taught to drink colored water from a bottle and assume to himself all the symptoms of a badly inebriated drinker. He came over from Cuba the other day with the rest of an animal troupe and some one had the clever idea of placing a bottle at his hand such as he is accustomed to use in his act, only loaded with real Cuban liquor. When the ship made port, Mephisto was a very much subdued monkey. One could read in his pathetic face all the vows of "Never again!" But his trainer is going to have difficulty ever getting him to go through the bottle part of his act in the future. An eight-hour day and conditions for lifting housework to a plane of greater social dignity, with $15 a week compensation, is the aim of the Bureau of Household Occupations recently established here. The bureau acts as consulting engineer to worried housewives, and among other things, takes over the matter of systemizing households to accommodate the 48 hour week. Mrs. George D. Pratt and Mrs. Henry S. Patterson, of Radium worth $260,000 shone in the Grand Central Palace the other night, as one attraction at the Health Show. It was only about a teaspoonful, too. Three policemen, clubs in hand, stood in close guard, although one remarked: "If anybody got away with it, what the civil would he do with it?" The piano on which Jenny Lind played when P. T. Barnum introduced the Swedish Nightingale to New York was pushed onto the stage at Swedish Night at "America's Making," and old fashioned airs its yellowed keys were played by a young woman in the ruffled hoopskirts of Jenny Lind's day. The piano originally belonged to Mrs. John Buckley, an important figure in New York social life who was the singer's hostess during her stay here. It is now owned by Mrs. John W. Tobin, who lent it for the occasion. The famous royal Persian tent, as large as a small house and with embroidered figures life size, of princes and princesses in its decorations, was sold in the Alaister McKelvic collection the other day to Mrs. Thomas Kieran, for $3,750. It is one of the most valuable 18th Century Persian treasures in this country. Women painters and sculptors are coming to the front in great numbers in this country. Within the last ten days, 40 new members have come into their national association, whose center is in this city. In the group of 65 paintings, miniatures and sculptures which the American Federation of Arts is sending out among its traveling exhibitions, the work of the women of eleven states is represented. ROTARIANS START PROSPERITY DRIVE With nearly 120,000,000 people, with our productive farms, mines and forests, with two-thirds of the world's gold in the banks and treasuries of the two countries, with our highly developed transportation systems and with our efficient manufacturing organizations, we of the United States and Canada are in an enviable and impregnable economic condition. We owe it not only to ourselves, but to the entire world to start some action that will establish that faith and confidence so necessary to progress and prosperity." With this declaration, the New York Rotary club recently launched what is known as the Rotary Prosperity Poster Campaign. The campaign is aimed at furthering the spirit of enterprise and optimism in America. Through the co-operation of C. A. Harnols, Santa Ana bill poster, the Santa Ana Rotary club is taking a part in the campaign. Harnols attended the convention of the Poster Advertising association at Detroit, Mich., in October. At that Convention the plan of campaign was laid before the poster association by I. B. Nordhem of New York. Nordheim explained his idea as being one to aid in bringing about a better feeling of optimism in the country at large. The cost of putting over the campaign if regular rates for bill posting had to be paid would be prohibitive. The plea met with an immediate response. The poster men agreed to post the bills without charge. The campaign was thus given a contract An eight-hour day and conditions for lifting housework to a plane of greater social dignity, with $15 a week compensation, is the aim of the Bureau of Household Occupations recently established here. The bureau acts as consulting engineer to worried housewives, and among other things, takes over the matter of systemizing households to accommodate the 48 hour week. Mrs. George D. Pratt and Mrs. Henry S. Patterson, of the executive committee declare the plan is the only solution of the problem and is practicable," as soon as women employers are educated." Probably no one in the world but Ed Wynn would have had the naivete and the nerve to call a production written, staged and acted by himself. "The Perfect Fool." And certainly no one in the world could have carried it off so well. The public loves his frank titling with the same affection they give to his performance. Who wouldn't? "The Perfect Fool," which opened the other day at the George M. Cohen Theatre, is one of the funniest things which has struck Broadway in a long time, largely, of course, because of the benign Ed Wynn, but additionally, because of the lines themselves. The music is blithe and peppy, too. It doesn't seem as though this can be such a terribly wicked city, after all, when a wife goes to court about it because her husband and woman guest ate pieces of each other's apple pie. And that has been done—over in Brooklyn, to be sure, which isn't supposed to live up to the riotus habits of Manhattan, but nevertheless, it is a part of New York City. Mrs. Samuel D. Applegate makes that serious charge against her husband and the lady guest in answer to Mr. Applegate's suit for annulment of their marriage. Not a pleasing bauble that could furnish enjoyment for and be forgotten—but something that would be a fun their dreams and prove indispensable as the days go.

The thus given a contract for advertising that ordinarily would have cost $1,500,000. Hangouts returned from Detroit on thursday this morning of the plan. He has received the posters to be placed in December, and will post others during January and February as they arrive. The first of these posters bears a message from President Harding, reading as follows: "This people of Washington and Lincoln are conquering the difficult problems of today, no less worthily, and with the faith and confidence which they bequeath to us. We are sure to find the ways to restore prosperity and our need of happiness." The idea of the campaign is based upon psychology. People get to thinking hard times, and the more they think them the harder it is to get away from them. "At present conditions are slowly improving," says a circular sent out from New York in connection with the campaign. "The big problem of today is renewing faith and confidence in the hearts of the world's people." EXPORTING COTTON Nicaragua this year for the first produced enough cotton to begin its exportation.
