The Orange County Plain Dealer An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday B. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In North Orange: Per year $2; Six months, $1.25. Entered at the Postoffice at Ashburn, Calif., as second class matter. Public sentiment should take the lynching evil out and hang it to the first tree. It is more blessed to give hurts than to receive them—but it is more human. Useful industry is the dermatologist that is improving the face of the economic situation. The Japanese position in California cannot be called properly by preaching or practicing violence against the Japanese. The more forest trees and thick shrubs in the watersheds, the less violence the goods. Plant and protect forest trees in the reserves. The stars in the majestic moving picture of the nightly heavens are not experimental and never refuse to work for the great Director. Successful marriages do not get into the court records and therefore not into the daily news. The number of divorces as compared with the number of successful marriages is not so large just as the number of persons who become involved in litigation of one kind or another is small compared with the whole population. There are enough divorces to justify apprehension, but not enough to prove or to indicate that marriage, as an institution is a failure. California does not agree to give its winter tourists raincheeks, nor does it guarantee rainless day all winter. Tourists for the most part, are very gracious about the comparison. SCIENCE AND INVENTION IMPROVE LIVING The scientist and the inventor, when they turn away from devising ways and means of killing men in warfare, put joy and brightness into living, by their discoveries and inventions. And when wars are abolished and when armaments are reduced and the masses are relieved of the burdens thereof, it will be possible for the ordinary person to be in possession of many of the labor-saving pleasure-giving devices of the scientist and inventor. Science and invention have transformed the world. The last century has witnessed greater advancement in scientific discoveries and inventions than all the centuries before it. Science and invention have thrown around the world telegraphs and cables, and the radio, making communication with distant lands a matter of minutes, whereas formerly it required months, if not years, by slow and sometimes perilous traveling to communicate with faraway lands. Rapid transit is another marvel. A mile-a-minute, once the wonder of the world, is slow and commonplace now, when three miles a minute is made by airship and two miles a minute by automobile. It is bewildering to try to catalogue, or even in outline, that science and invention have done for mankind within the last century. Electric lighting; evolution of electric energy in industrial and transportation enterprises; perfecting of printing press; and an almost limitless number of labor-saving machines and devices making for the California does not agree to give its winter tourists rainchecks, nor does it guarantee rainless day all winter. Tourists for the most part, are very gracious about the comparatively few rainy days experienced here. They know that these downpours are worth millions to California. They also know that after each rain the air is exhilarating and all nature is aglow. This compensates them for an occasional day indoors. WANTED To hear from parties who will consider becoming directors or acting on an advisory committee, in a large loan and finance corporation now organizing to do business exclusively in Orange County. Men back of this corporation have years of successful banking experience. Proposition is sound, and will stand the fullest investigation.

H. Nutzhorn, Bookkeeper MANY BUGS PROVE HIGHLY INJURIOUS W. E. ALLEN California Biological Feature Service Several times in the last few months I have noticed the statement in various publications that "bugs" are not mentioned in British polite society. Just why so many writers should be interested in this fact is hard to say. Perhaps they are amused by the idea that the ubiquitous bed bug (the only animal meant by the British word) can be disposed of by such an attitude of exclusiveness. To the ordinary American the word means any very small object which moves quickly. To the scientific student of insects it means in its strictest sense a group of insects which have mouth parts equipped for piercing and suckling and which have peculiar wings, the inner halves of which are thick and leathery while the outer halves are thin and pappy or gauzy. Amongst the many thousands of different kinds of bugs known to scientists there are many which are known to be highly injurious to man and few which are known to be beneficial. A most injurious group of bugs is characterized by very small individuals which make up in numbers what they lack in size. They are well known to plant lovers everywhere as plant lice or aphids. There are almost as many kinds of them as there are kinds of flowering plants. They are aided and abetted in their destructiveness by ants which guard and protect them and carry them at opportune times to the juiciest parts of young, tender shoots of the plant. One entomologist estimated that there were 12,000,000 plant lice living at one time on a young cherry tree. Another expert estimated that if nothing happened to kill off any of the young produced by a single mother in the spring and if each successive generation thru the summer brot all of its offspring to the reproductive stage there would be over nine trillion descendants of the one mother ready to continue propagation at the beginning of the next spring. In the face of such possibilities it is no wonder that things sometimes look discouraging to the gardner and agriculturist. Fortunately for the peace of mind of man the plant lice have many enemies and only a small percentage are able to mature and bear offspring. Many bugs have a decidedly bad odor, taste, too, for that matter. It is always amusing to the other fellow when he sees some one carelessly eating blackberries or other fruit without washing or examination get hold of a bug and then spend some time in spitting pluttering and wondering what made the fruit taste so badly. It is equally disgusting when he self turns over a leaf and stirring a squash bug with its peculiar sickening odor. Undoubtedly oderiferous bugs are largely responsible for the disdainful attitude which police society holds for name. Most bugs live out of water, a few kinds spend most of their lives in it. They all have me for attaching a layer of air to bodies when the come to the face and by using this layer are able to stay under water a SEASONS GREETINGS SEASONS GREETINGS I wish to extend to all my friends and patrons of the past year a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Water bugs are predatory and the largest one (which is often called the "electric light bug" because it is found under street lamps when flying from one pond to another) kills many tadpoles and young fish which it pounces upon from ambush in a most ferocious manner. Bugs may not be nice and few of them are in any sense beautiful but they play a very important part in the affairs of man which is good reason in itself why they should receive a good deal of attention from SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1921 WILL HARNESS RIVERS Two rivers will be harnessed provide electric light and power for the Philippine province of Bataan and Pampanga and the smelting of large deposits of magnetic iron ore.
