HESTER, Editor Sunday edition—In North Orange so: Per year $2; 81x months, $1.23 Issued at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second issue matter. Advice to La Belle France: Moderate those naval demands in the Arms Conference and Uncle Sam will think the better of you for it. There is to be a vast playground for tourists in Alaska. Which will be an Alaska vastly differing from the one world-painted so thrillingly by Jack London and Rex Beach. Economy has a strange, unnatural sound to Congress. But Gen. Dawes is grimly resolved that it shall become a well-understood and highly-respected word in the Capitol. Whole fields and canyons full of wild western desperades and Indians have failed to tame William S. Hart. But he is married now and doubtless is a tamer, but happier man. Great flood losses in California are unnecessary. Floods can be harnessed and controlled. It would be a consummate stroke of business-like economy to begin at once systematically to institute flood control projects and to include in these the reforesting of denuded watersheds. Honesty is the foundation-stone of all confidence between man and man. Destroy honesty all over the earth, and the whole political, economic and social structure in civilized lands would collapse. Honesty is as vital to wholesome human relations as blood is to the human body. LYNCHING UNDER BAN OF PROPOSED LAW Congress is taking cognizance of the lynching evil. There is pending in the House and now receiving consideration the so-called Dyer bill which provides heavy fines and imprisonment for persons participating in lynchings, and for officials who fall through negligence, to prevent mob violence. The measure also would require counties in which lynchings occur to forfeit $10,000 to the family of the person lynched. This measure may not be all that is desirable. But it is very much in order for Congress and for state legislatures to enact statutes to prevent mob violence of this nature. Such retraining legislation should not be construed as being in defense of heinous crimes or as extenuation, in any measure, of the horribleness of the offenses which usually incite to lynchings. At the same time that severe penalties against lynchings are instituted, there should be reform of procedure in criminal courts, so that those guilty of outrageous crimes may be tried promptly; so that conviction may be had without justice-delaying red tape or adherence to archale technicalities; and so that the law may do, in proper form, what the lynchers would in unlawful way. In other words, the criminal that deserves death under the law, quickly should be brought to death under the law. Then there would be no semblance of excuse for mob violence.

UNDERTAKES FALL PROSECUTION LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7.—Many undertakers in Los Angeles are liable to prosecution on charges of felony, growing out of the practice of collecting money from the county treasury, the family concerned or both for the burial of indigent ex-soldiers or soldiers represented to be such. Families were told it is said that the federal government provided aid, and received from the undertakers $75. The undertakers then presented a considerably larger bill and pocketed the difference. The deceased was classed as an indigent on the Los Angeles county records and buried as such. Sometimes $50 to $200 was collected from the family and $75 from the county also. Twenty-five out of thirty claims for county aid for soldier burials have been disallowed by the board of supervisors since last September, when the frauds were discovered.

When $125 has been subscribed, the Gibbs Lumber Co., which has offered to sell the building material at cost, will be instructed to place it on the ground and work will start. The following letter has been received from the carpenters: "At the regular meeting of the Anaheim Carpenters Local Union 2203, the offer of J. R. Anderson that above local would furnish labor to build the house for the Olaga widow was unanimously ratified. The suggestion was made that the land owner give the union a receipt for one year's rent, or that the house be built at the water works next the house built by the Elks. Yours respectfully, Joseph M. Anderson, 322 So. Lemon-st." The suggestion that the house be erected near the house built by the Elks will probably be adopted.

New York Letter I rise to endorse tax drivers forever! Let no one say they are not honest men, all of them. While indulging in a taxi ride at great exertion she is intensely loyal.

There were several selections by the high school orchestra, and two songs by members of the orchestra. The songs were "Old Black Joe" and "Glory, Glory for the Farmer." The chief feature of the meeting was an address by Dr. W. H. Walker of the Calif., State Farm Bureau, and also a member of the National Farm Bureau, on "Farmers' Voice in National Affairs." He urged organization and cooperation. He also urged that all lines of the agricultural industry throughout the U.S. get together in one great big organization, and put their demands thru. He warned against self-satisfaction. When you are satisfied, there is nothing more to do, he declared. He declared that agriculture is the great basic fundamental industry of the world, and that all other industries are dependent upon it. The farmers could buy all the railroads and all the manufacturing plants in the U.S. if they could only "cash in" on their property all at once, he said. The farm products in 1919 ran $500,000,000 in advance of their nearest competitor in value. However, the farm cannot continue to prosper under the present conditions, and the present exhorbitant rate of interest. Farmers cannot afford to pay 10 per cent interest. He declared that the present system was certain to bring ruin and disaster. The farmer is like the mule—he can carry only so much and no more. Production must go down unless more labor is procured, and there is danger that in 50 years from now the nation will find it difficult to raise enough foodstuffs to feed the nation. It is a serious situation with which we are confronted. He said there are four great problems which confront the agriculturist—transportation, finance, tariff and marketing. These can possibly be adjusted, or at least greatly helped by orpared. I rise to endorse tax drivers forever! Let no one say they are not honest mem, all of them. While indulging in a taxi ride at great expense and with no small indenture on my conscience the other day, I lost the most valuable manuscript I have ever held in my hands; valuable because it was the only one in existence and because it dealt with a most interesting phase of literature, to say nothing of some extraordinary pictures which had been made at great expense of time and trouble. Trying to affect the nonebalance which goes with taxi riding, I slammed the door on leaving it and drifted in to my destination. But I was in only a second when I realized that the manuscript was in the taxi. I ran out and looked for the cab but it was gone and by reason of other engagements, spent hours before I could even trace it out. It was not a taxi of the standardized type, had no color scheme to distinguish it or suggest the company who owned it. My only recollection was that it was an old broken-down Renault model of several years ago, and that the ridge had been most precarious so that I entertained doubts whether it would ever get back to the place from where it started. Several hours later I took a street car to the village and searched about its funny streets—then imagine my joy when I suddenly saw my taxi wheezing away in front of the Greenwich Village theatre! But it was a different driver and he looked blink when questioned about a book. As I started away, once more downhearted, he shouted after me,"Say lady, the other driver left some old papers in here which I ain't been able to make nothing of, but I guess they don't belong to you." I hastened back. Down on the floor, covered with mud and grime, was my precious book. The small reward I offered the driver did not begin to bespeak my everlasting gratitude for its recovery. No visitor with a more interesting story has engaged New York's attention than Miss Marian Peabody of Wellesley Hills, Mass., who has just returned from Turkey where since July 1919 she has been engaged in relief work among Armenian girls. Miss Peabody, while on the Young Women's Christian Aids'n staff there was lent to the Near East Relief to conduct a home for Armenian girls who had escaped from their Turkish captains, with whom they were forced to live. Miss Peabody tells of housing 140 girls all of whom were given educational and industrial advantages. The acuteness of the political separated. After a few days both Martha and Alice had so noticeably pined away under the separation that it was necessary to put them together again to save their lives. New York Letter I have occasion to hear the walls of many people as I get about the town. My latest pessimist is the station master of the Grand Central station. He tells me that in the wee small hours of the morning when the porter begins cleaning the station there is not a spot on the floor a foot square that is not covered with gum debris. The station master denies that the gum chewing is done by New York people exclusively but attributes it to the nervousness of people in their comings and gongs. These discarded quids adhere to the tile floor with a pertinacity which requires quantities of kerosene to loosen it and to get it dumped out where it properly belongs. I don't know where this is, but it must be a sorry mess, anyway. There is no more important theoretical person in New York than Mark A. Luescher, manager of the Hippodrome. He is not only the keeper of animals, the generalissimo of the greatest theatre in the world, the arbiter of more chorus girls' disputes than any other manager, but in addition to all these distinctions, has a dog. Now, most manager go in for dogs, but this dog—a sprightly airedale is the full brother of "Laddie Boy" who romps about the White House grounds in Presidential circles. We think, up here, that the distinction is with Laddie Boy to have so famed theatrical connections, but Mr. Luescher is a generous soul and like to brag about the official connection of which his dog boasts. When one has led the suffrage cause to victory in the most populous state in the union and then gone abroad on a particularly delicate mission during the war, the lighter, more decorative wags of transforming oneself from a social butterfly to a business woman do not appeal. Therefore, when Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse prominent society wom- ENLARGE PLACENTIA ORANGE PKG.

The grading system is being enlarged and the manager's office has been moved and enlarged also. New cement steps are being placed at the north east side. The ground is being broken preparatory to building a 25x60 foot addition to the west side of the house for the storing of shook to be used for boxes. The cost is estimated to be about $4000 or $5000. Packing navels will start about the first of the week and Manager McKay expects the house will ship about 119 or 115 cars. The wind has done considerable damage and probably lessened the crop by 10 or 15 cars.

RESULTS COUNT MAY SAIL BETWEEN BALBOA AND PEDRO A former gunboat of the United States navy, stripped of its war-like equipment and made over into a passenger vessel, may be plying between Newport harbor and San Diego soon after the completion of development work at the local port. This became known at a meeting of the Orange county harbor commission at Newport Beach today when it was revealed that S. A. Leffingwell, of Portland, Ore., and formerly of Talbert, southwest of Santa Ana, is desirous of operating a passenger steamer between the two ports, whenever the harbor work is completed. It was disclosed that Leffingwell has been conducting negotiations for the purchase of one of two vessels, one of which would cost $40,000 and the other $50,000. One of these is the old gunboat Yorktown, from which the armorplate turrets and like equipment have been removed. Leffingwell, it was stated, is so favorably impressed by the prospects of future development of Newport harbor that he has rented a house at Balboa, pending the completion of the harbor improvements. If he installs the passenger service in question he will ask only the co-operation of the public, it was said. The remodeled Yorktown would have a capacity of 600 passengers and the other ship under consideration would have a capacity of 400. The Newport harbor-San Diego trip by sea might prove extremely popular among tourists visiting the Southland, it was pointed out. 15 AUTO FATALITIES IN L. A.
