The Orange County Plain Dealer An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Despair is a word that should stay in the dictionary and never should be dragged from the lexicon to be applied in human affairs. When floods run riot and wreak havoc, the people have themselves to blame. They should insist upon scientific control of freshets. Stay in the sunshine of cheerfulness, even at the risk of getting tanned or freckled. Tans and freckles oftentimes are the banner of good health. Each and every good rain, in California is worth huge sums to the commonwealth, and all the people share, directly or indirectly, in the benefits. Independence for the Filipinos, at this time, might be as a lighted torch in a powder magazine. Nothing will be lost by the islanders by awaiting a more propitious state of preparedness for self-government. Do not start the New Year with a truculent resolution to "get even" with somebody for a real or an imagined wrong. Leave vengeance where it belongs—to the Higher Power. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." The smaller warcraft are causing the Arms Conference delegations more sleepiness nights that the dreadnaughts. The submarines are almost as troublesome to this peace assemblage as they were to the belligerents during the great war. And now the Ohio River is in flood and the sickening tale of ruin, so often told, is being repeated. The American people are getting many a hard lesson that should teach them convincingly that it does not pay to permit floods to go uncontrolled. It would pay this country, in dollars and cents, to expend hundreds of millions—even billions—of dollars to FORESTS NEEDED: HOLD FLOOD WATERS The monetary value of forest trees on the mountain slopes and in the canyons of the water-shed is made quite emphatic to the public comprehension by the destructive floods resulting from the present storm. It is agreed by experts that the torrential rush of water out of the mountains would have been held back, in large measure, if the trees and shrubbery, burned out in the disastrous fires a few years ago, had been in place. As conditions are, the heavy downpour runs off the denuded mountain sides like water off the proverbial duck's back. There is no natural check to the floods. Consequently the impetuous flow rushes into the lowlands, inflicting damage. This object-less should-not pass unneeded. The lesson has a two-fold application: First, make a rigid and as effective as possible protection against fire of the timber now in these forest reserves; second, carry on systematically the planting of trees in this watershed, to bring back a dense growth of trees and shrubbery. In protecting the forest reserves against fire, each and every person who, during the dry season, enters the reserves can and should lend a helping hand. If each and every person is careful for himself or herself, that much is gained. And if each and every person does all possible to induce or to compel others to be careful...that will help greatly. The value of reforesting does not admit of argument. Even though the work of planting trees may be precarious, in a measure—even though only a small percentage of the trees planted attain unto growth, yet the good derivable therefrom is well worth the cost, in money and in effort. This flood-should make an impression deep enough and lasting enough to impel everybody to do all possible to help along ways and magnify its effect.

"RAFFLES" SCANDAL BARED IN GERMANY BERLIN, Jan. 4.—The most sensational "Raffles" case in Germany crime annals has been revealed through the arrest of five women and two men. High government officials are reported to be implicated and it is said that the worst police graft scandal in German history may follow. The prisoners are charged with robbing Berlin's largest luxury stores over a period of four years, obtaining goods worth ten million marks. They lived like princes and mingled with the best society. Most of the booty was shipped to Holland and some of it is believed to have found its way to the United States. The band paid 35,000 marks in bribes to police officials a few weeks ago for pigeonholling a case against them. PAIGE Prices Reduced F. O. B. PAIGE Prices Reduced F. O. B.

The farmers are just as anxious for it to stop raining as they were for it to start in. The ground is so wet that it will be some time before much farming can be done. The sand ridges can be cultivated almost any time but the low lands will take time to dry up. Mrs. M. A. Sutherland entertained 15 for dinner Christmas. It was a sort of family reunion. There was much to eat and a great good time was had by all. Mrs. L. Hughes has been quite seriously ill with bronchitis. Dr. Hasson has been in attendance. Old Santa left an eight-pound girl at the Ed Peterson home Xmas eve. The little lady was surly a welcome gift, and likes her new home fine. Mother and daughter are doing nicely. Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Carpenter and Mr. and Mrs. Don Grindle motored to Los Angeles Sunday. Part of the day was spent in visiting the alligator farm. Job Dennie has installed a 30-cow dairy on his place southeast of town. Job has two dairys near Los Alamitos and is an old hand at the business so the new venture for his Cypress property an assured success. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Miller entertained Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Miller and Mrs. M. B. Feagan with a dinner Sunday. Oll Santa has come and gone. He brings a certain warmth of good cheer that is not felt at any other time. As I watched the little Sprouts unloading their stockings; I thought of the many homes that were empty of children. Many of the homes the children have grown up and left the home nest. In those homes Xmas brings back fond memories. Then there are homes, where the glad outcry of the youngster as he beholds Old Santa's work has never known. For those homes I am sorry, they have been cheated out of a pleasure that can be had in no other way. Lots of noise? Well I reckon. This year Santa brought two drums, pop guns, whistles and many other noise makers. When Xmas day was over there sounds in my head like as PADEREWSKI PAYS COOGAN TRIBUTE Jackie Coogan, the wonder boy of the silver sheet whose latest picture, "My Boy", came to the California theatre Monday, has added another celebrated friend to his already big list. Jackie has met and chatted informally with royalty. He has lunched and dined with New York's social leaders. He has sat in the little shed under the Polo Grounds and talked with Babe Ruth. He has told Jack Dempsey how he liked him and he has also told George Carpentier why he was sorry he lost. In fact and to be brief, there's mighty few persons of note and noble birth that Jackie Coogan has not come in contact with. The newest friend of this six and a half year old is none other than Jan Ignace Paderewski the world famous pianist and former premier of Poland. Paderewski has a beautiful rancho a few hundred miles from Jackie's studio in California. One day Jackie decided he would help the poor Polish sufferers and dropped the ex-premier a little notice to that effect. The result was as if a magic wand had swept the letter to the Paderewski's home and back again. The great musician wanted to see Jackie—to meet him—talk with him about his wonderful idea and sincere thoughts. So Jackie and his party from the studio motorized to the great rancho de Paso Robles, home of the world's greatest pianist. The great Paderewski greeted the little fellow at his gateway. He hugged him, kissed him and cried over him. Never before say those innermost in the Paderewski He had the great Paderewski made over a personage. Never before had he shed tears for anyone upon such an occasion. All that day Paderewski and Jackie were together. The Polish statesman would not let him get away from his side. When Jackie wanted to walk thru the hills that roll throut the great Paderewski estate, the musician accompanied him. They chased butterflies together — jumped across streams hand in hand and played leap frog together. The noted Polish gentleman was in a daze: Jackie had entirely captured him — heart and soul. Jackie takes an hour's push RECORDS OF COUNTY SHOW BIG INCREASE Growth and progress spelled out capital letters were exemplified the statistics for business hands during the year 1921 by the office of County Clerk J. M. Backs, as were made known today. That ange-co is making rapid strides in volume of public business and affair handled, is clearly reflected in a department of the county government. Civil actions filed in the court were shown to be 1,088 in number for the year. This is an increase of 151 cases over last year, when total was 937. An increase in criminal case handled was also evident, the total being 119, compared to 941920. Similar proof of a growing size of business was offered other directions. The clerk's records 1921, for instance, show that a total of 12,440 warrants or "bills" proved by the board of supervisors passed thru that office. That 2,349 more than in 1920. The naturalization work showed an increase. Declarations intention to apply for naturalization or "first papers" were filed by 18 persons during 1921, while in 1920 there were only 46. Petitions in final papers were filed by 38 persons this year and by 31 last year, a gain of 7. Final naturalization paper granted this year numbered 28, compared to 19 in 1920. Santa Fe Lease SANTA FE LEASE, Jan. 4 — (Sp.) Elmer Williams, Lawrence and Warmer Cuilin were Anaheim visitor Thursday night. Mr. and Mrs. Flynn and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Spears and Miss George Grant visited the California theater Thursday night. Mr. Bennett is home from the Santa Fe hospital of Los Angeles. He has been there ever since he flew from the derrick on the lease. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Jones are daughter, Beverly, visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fliny-Fitzgerald。 Many of the homes the children have grown up and left the home nest. In those homes Xmas brings back fond memories. Then there are homes, where the glad outcry of the youngster as he beholds Old Santa's work has never been known. For those homes I am sorry, they have been cheated out of a pleasure that can be had in no other way. Lots of noise? Well I reckon. This year Santa brought two drums, pop guns, whistles and many other noise makers. When Xmas day was over, there were sounds in my head like as if I had been attending a "high jinks" in a boiler factory, but we sure had a good time. I am for old Santa first last and all the time. There are people who claim the old gent is a myth, but I have never found him so. He slips me a surprise or two ever year. Happy New Year, SARGUM SPROUT. LONDON LOSES PEP BY WAR-TIME RULES LONDON, Jan. 4.—This one-time metropolis of the world has forgotten how to be gay; it has lost its capacity for enjoyment. Midnight reveals and supper parties are things of the past. Restaurants and railroads report an extraordinary slump in patronage and declare London has been demoralized, hypnotized and broken-spirited by war-time restrictions. The city now deliberately chooses to go to bed at 11. Six years ago the night life of London — its suppers, entertainments and dances — was one of its principal features. From 11 at night to 4 in the morning was the gayest period of the day. People came from afar for the pleasure of a few nights in the city. And then, just six years ago, came the heavy hand of what was known as "Dorn," otherwise the defense of the realm act. It was made illegal to obtain a drink after 6:30. Dancing was practically ruled out entirely after dark. Even restaurants had to shut at 10:30. Zappolins and economy killed London's gay evenings. All that day Paderewski and Jackie were together. The Polish statesman would not let him get away from his side. When Jackie wanted to walk through the hills that roll throut the great Paderewski estate, the musician accompanied him. They chased butterflies together — jumped across streams hand in hand and played leap frog together. The noted Polish gentleman was in a daze. Jackie had entirely captured him — heart and soul. Jackie takes an hour's nap each afternoon. When the time arrived for the little fellow to rest, the statesman carefully folded his little body in his arms, carried him to his limousine stepped in, pulled down all of the blinds and there held him and hummed him to sleep with a little lullaby. He held Jackie in his arms for a solid hour not permitting any one else to come near the automobile. When Jackie was ready to go home, tears again came into the eyes of Paderewski. “This is truly a marvelous child,” he told Mrs. Coogan. “I am deeply touched with him. It is as though he were mine — as though we had known each other for all of our lives — his and mine alike. I predict wonderful things for this boy's future. Don't make him work too hard. All of this will come naturally to a child with his mind.” “I predict that Jackie may someday be a wonderful and noted poet. He need not hover near the motion picture all his life. I see fine things in him. He must develop them. He is a marvel. I love him.” Those were the exact words of the famous statesman as he took Jackie's hands and folded them close to his chest. They say that people have two minds—the child's mind and the grown up mind. On this occasion Jan Ignace Paderewski showed his child's mind. He was as though a child Jackie's age and when the little film star stepped into his automobile and was about to drive back to Los Angeles, Paderewski wept like a child — wept at the thot of losing his child playmate. But Paderewski did not lose Jackie. They are true friends and every few days letters are exchanged between them. Some of these letters speak of Jackie's method of aiding the Polish sufferers—others merely speak of their moods—their thoughts—their respect and affection for each other. Truly, a friend is one of man's most wonderful assets and though Jackie Coogan has many, he has not one to spare. Buena Park News BUENA PARK, Jan. 4.—(Spl.) Mrs M. B.

Phone 372-J Get our prices before you buy Poultry Supplies J. E. Schumacher Co. Phone 794 West Anaheim NEW YORK, Dec. 30.— There is a new host at the dinner table these days. After a very impressive performance in which your host gets on his hands and knees and produces out of some hidden corner, a forlorn little bottle wrapped in newspapers, you have revealed before your eyes the entire object of the assemblage. It evokes no end of conversation as to the source of its supply, the influence it took to get it and the unbelievable price which was paid for it. When you finally see a bit of it placed in a very small glass before you the conversation has only begun. Everyone airs his knowledge of liquors and tries to find the liquor that it most resembles. It tastes like bad cider. But after a stiff argument on exactly what it is, the party generally concedes that it is "hootch." You drink it, not without misgivings in realizing that you are taking of the financial, moral and physical sustance of life from your host, and go away irrevocably indebted for this very uncertain privilege. The whim of fashion and mankind to prefer petit femininity these days has reached the point where people are writing letters to the editor about it. A desperate and indignant tall girl had such a letter in a New York paper the other day, in which she states the griefs of any woman above five feet four, in business as well as social life. "It's hopeless to try to get on the stage," she said, "or even into jobs that you wouldn't think makes any sort of demands as to one's face and figure. I applied for a job in a dentist's office the other day, and all he said when he saw me was, 'You're too big.' Haven't we any right to live just because we are tall?" Kipling and the other modernists who insist that there is as much poetry and drama in industry today as there ever was in the flowering of knighthood and the belief in Olympus, have scored heavily once again. I met F. A. Seiberling, of Akron, here the other day, and it struck me that he is a complete epic in himself. Ling might at last be discouraged by one of the great pioneers in ber manufacturers. Mr. Seiberling, started way to amazing growth its prosperity. The thing ny of which he impaired equally, the post-war days business depression upon the company nearly ficulties resulted. The tion that followed, Mr. cided to begin anew years of experience and bla which meant so much than and reliable in the industry established the new Seiberling ber company, and is once mantly riding forth to success all it is that every officer of the company is one of the picket of the old corporation, who left big established concern to follow old leader unquestioningly and ass edly under the new banner. There sages and lyrics in the story of ro ber tires. One of the best shows in town is the humorists exhibition at the National Arts Club. Everything is travestied there and traversed with tremendous cleverness. "The Einstein Theory Explained," by Alfred Frueh is one of the funniest of the pictures, but there are 316 others that demonstrate real humor. The newspaper funny men who turn out "comic strips" every day are represented there, and the cartoonists, along with several artists who are known for their serious work by a public which has never realized that they could be frollesome. Did you ever go gunning—with an actual gun—for instance? It seems almost an exaggeration to get heavily armed to shoot flying bugs, doesn't it? But that is what J. H. Williamson and J. W. Strohm have done. They sailed from here the other day to dare dragon flies and fever in the jungles of Brazil. Their ammunition consists of 2,000 grains of quinine and picolens filled with "dust!" shot Drumlin. DON'T GET EXCITED IN AUTO ACCIDENT "Don't get excited when you have an accident or loss; don't talk too much, but listen," is the advice of A. S. Ralph of the Auto Club of Orange-co. "Too many people do not know just what to do and loose their heads completely. As a result they do and things that may cause them difficulties later on." "The thing to remember is to get the license number of the other fellow's car. After you have secured this information get his name and address, the name and address of the owner and the operator, and the person or persons accompanying them. Don't ever forget the address." "Make notes of all evidence and information bearing on the time, place and the conditions of the accident." Get the names and addresses of all witnesses. They may be very important in case of legal action by either party involved. Make a sketch of the location showing position of cars and other important features. "Don't delay in securing the services of the nearest garage in getting your car off the road in case it is disabled. It it remain unguarded for any length of time, the equipment is liable to be stolen. When you have taken care of your car, notify the office of the club in writing, giving all the facts you have collected bearing on the case. If possible, make a personal visit to the office. This is important and must not be neglected. The sooner action can be taken the better." "Don't be reckless, don't break the traffic laws, respect the right of others and above all drive carefully. Do these things and in case of accident you won't have to worry about your side of an accident." n Weight Efficient in Operation Reasonable in Price constructed.
