A London judge refused to allow a husband to return his bride to her family because he found her "unsatisfactory." The judge told the husband that he had to keep his wife. The shopkeepers of Vienna refuse to accept Austrian money as payment for purchases. They want American, British or French money and the preference is for American money. If Colonel Everington, new chief of police of Los Angeles, fights criminals as he fought the enemy in the World War, there will be such a cleaning up as the old pueblo has not witnessed in many a year. Colonel Everington is a modest man and is not making flamboyant promises of what he will do. Which is ominous for the criminal element. Every city and town in Los Angeles county hopes that he will succeed in driving desperate, lawless hordes from that city, and out of the state, or into the penitentiary. Westward the source of power in Congress is taking its way. The Senate is coming clear over the Mississippi Basin for a successor to the late Senator Penrose as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. It will do Congress good to have an infusion of Western blood and Western ideas in high places, and it will do the Eastern seaboard states no harm. The West is not narrow and provincial. It would not attempt wantonly to wreck Eastern interests, or flagrantly to neglect them. The West, with dominating power in Congress, naturally would look out well for its own interests, as it should. But it would not go iconoclasting through the East, tearing down and ruining that section's interest. FARMERS' WIVES NOT SO BADLY OFF Farm women—at least some of them—are chafing under the pity and the patronizing they are receiving from self-appointed helpers. One peppery little farm woman—Mrs. Izetta Brown, of Kingwood, W. Va.,—speaking for a type of progressive rural women, says that the "downtrodden and overworked" slogan in behalf of farmers' wives and daughters is unwarranted and misleading. She says that this "old-fashioned publicity" is having harmful effect. Farm women "who have awakened to their own possibilities" want to start a campaign of optimism about farm life. "They don't want to be pitted nor patronized — just understood, and if possible, a little idealized; they would appreciate it for a change." It is Mrs. Izetta Brown who is quoted. The American Farm Bureau Federation is sponsoring a national organization of women on the farm. Clubs of this nature have impressed women with the value of organized effort in improving conditions of country life. They are things easily done in each locality which would improve living and social conditions "and each little success is leading the enterprising farm woman on to higher ideals." Particularly are betterments being made in school conditions, and this increases the chances of holding the youngsters on the farm, as they grow up. It is quite gratifying to be able to present this more cheerful and more promising view of farm life. It seems reasonable to suppose that intelligent and enterprising women on the farms can do a great deal to improve their own lot in life and to make conditions more attractive for the boys and girls on the farm.

Miss Walker has a good start. She has already hiked from Boston, crossing and crisscrossing the United States from north to south in order to touch all the state capitals on the way and there are not many professional walkers who have more to boast of in the same length of time. She left Boston about 10 months ago; getting into California a few days ago. When she entered Calif., somebody stole her sleeping bag. She is now going north to San Francisco, and probably to Seattle, where she expects to take ship for Australia, walk thru there, and then to So. Africa, Egypt and Europe. She expects to get around the world in about three years. She is merely walking for her own benefit, she said. She was given a state road map at the local office of the Auto club. OCTOBER SUMMARY READY The monthly "Summary of Operations — California Oil Fields" for October, 1821, is now being distributed to the oil industry. The "Summary" contains an article on "Oxy-acetylene welding applied to oil well casing" and "Notes on the effect of water invasion on the production of oil in the Kern River oil field." Oil operations reported to R. F. Collom, State Oil and Gas supervisor, during the week ending Jan. 7, show 17 new wells, 19 tests of water shut-off, 11 deepening or redrilling jobs, and 4 abandonments.

ADAMS-BOWERS LUMBER CO. “Better Service” A. C. Bowers H. M. Adams E. L. Bowers THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA New York Letter by Larry James Price NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—An thought determined to beat the world in its return to pre-war — any war—days, our olly city is now the scene of a revival of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." We thought it might be just an accidental turn of the public's fancy when "Floradora" and "The Easiest Way" and a few other friends of the past were brought back to the boards, but "Uncle Tom's Cabin" really outreaches our imagination for "things that can happen." Yet here it is in one of our big theatres, Little Era going to Heaven, cru-el Legree, and all, even including the leg and the bloodhounds—which more closely resembles collies to be sure, but have every good acting intention. Fifty thousand amateur radio operators in the vicinity of New York received a New Year's greeting from the air at the moment that we passed into 1922, "Q. S. T."—"Q. S. T."—"Everybody listen" flashed the first waves, followed by the tones of a striking bell and the voice of a minister invoking blessing upon the coming year. The message was sent from several broadcasting stations in and around Manhattan and was picked up by all operators for many miles about. There is probably only one woman in the world who can hear choral music at every meal. She is Mrs. Louis Halas Beckingham, 510 West 140th street, New York, and she listens to a choir of 128 trained voices while she eats her breakfast, lunch and dinner. The choir consists of canaries, and they perch merrily on buffet, serving table, chair backs and table decorations while they sing. Every bird knows its name and will come flying at the call of it from Mrs. Beckingham, and she in turn knows the temperament, ability, and disposition of every one of the 128. HUNTINGTON BEACH FIELD LARGEST PROVEN OIL AREA IN SOUTH. CALIF. With the Oil Operators Showings in two wells at Huntington Beach, the Standard Oil Co.'s Thompson and the Eddystone Oil Co.'s Huff well are of as much importance to the field as the original discovery well. The Eddystone's Huff extends the north line of the field, and the Standard's Thompson brings the south boundary down to the ocean, making the Huntington Beach field the biggest proven oil area in So. California. At 4361 the Eddystone Oil corporation using the core drill discovered an oil sand that looks as rich as any the field has ever produced. While this means that it will be necessary to go deep in the vicinity of the Huff property the showings found are sufficient to warrant the extra deep development. Under ordinary drilling conditions the showings in the Huff well might not have been discovered. The core drill is finding things that are springing surprises every day. The Standard Oil Co.'s Thompson well at 3305 feet gives Huntington Beach as much new life as anything that could have happened. The southern part of the field has not been looking so good. The Standard's Thompson at 3305 struck a high grade oil sand that looks like it will produce light oil. The light oil sand showing will be tested out after the well is cemented and prepared for production. For a few days it looked like the Bell of Montebello was going to get into the producing list at Huntington Beach. Bell of Montebello No. 1 brought in at 2214 started off at 200 barrels but quickly sanded up. The history of wells brought in in that vicinity will be repeated by the Bell, a battle with sand, cleaning and washing out for a couple of months. The Gypsy Oil Co. added another producer to its list. No 3 the new well completed at 2837 feet started off with an initial production of 275 barrels. The Gypsy now has a daily output of 600 barrels and has become one of the successful independent cleaners out, free from pipe trouble and in condition to go on a production test. Crest No. 1 was completed at 2976 and should make a 300 barrel well. The Prudential Oil Co. a branch of the Bankera Oil Co., has located a well on Signal Hill and the rig is going up. Prudential No. 1 is located north of the Shell's discovery well and has a splendid outlook. Jones No. 1 promises to be the Shell Co.'s next producer. At 2965 the well started to flow between the 8-inch and 10-inch and is showing more oil than any well yet on the hill. The famous Nesa well is free from pipe and iron and is now drilling making new hole at 2800. Horsach No. 1 continues in the oil sand at 2875 and makes the northwest side of the field look extremely good. Deep drilling at Richfield occupies the attention of three of the leading companies. The Petroleum Midway's Richfield-Yorba finished at 4805 is ready for a production test and is expected to make a commercial well. The Clark Oil Co.'s Wetzell No. 1 at 4405 struck its first real oil sand. At 4425 the oil sand continues and the outlook for the well is more encouraging than at any time since the well started drilling. Hope is still held out for a producer for the Ridge Oil Co. Drilling is now at 4600, the formation changed from the hard cap rock to brown shale at 4680 and the oil sand is expected under the brown shale most any time now. The Union Oil Co. succeeded if getting the famous Chapman No. 1 back on production. A month ago the well sanded up and quit producing after flowing constantly for more than two years and producing close to two million barrels of oil. At the time Chapman No. 1 quit producing it was making 300 barrels, it is now back at 675. The Bandini Petroleum Co. is making a hard fight against the water in the world who can hear choral music at every meal. She is Mrs. Louis Hailas Hallingham, 510 West 146th street, New York, and she listens to a choir of 128 trained voices while she eats her breakfast, lunch-eon and dinner. The choir consists of canaries, and they perch merrily on buffet, serving table, chair backs and table decorations while they sing. Every bird knows its name and will come flying at the call of it from Mrs. Beckingham, and she in turn knows the temperament, ability, and disposition of every one of the 128. "Captain Applejack". Walter Hackett's new adventure play at the Cort Theatre, is a sparkling, amusing Arabian Nights sort of piece and enough quip to it to rest the theatre-goer tired of gloomy "realism" or imane sugary-ness. It has to do with a youth longs for a change. Living the dull life of a prosaic country gentleman in Cornwall, England, he becomes convinced that he must search for and find romance or die in stodginess. He advertises the old place for sale and adventure follows fast upon the heels of his ad. It's worth seeing. Wallace Eddinger, Mary Nash, Hamilton Revelle, Phoebe Foster, and Marie Wainwright stand ort in the east. The "Bar Building" is not so reminiscent a place as it sounds. It is only the name of a new building to be constructed on 44th street, exclusively for lawyers' offices. New York is tending rapidly to these "exclusive" buildings. Several handsome new ones are given over to physicians, some to dentists, some to charity organizations, and now come the lawyers with their own tightly drawn circle—and their attractive building name. We do give signs every once in a while of being a decadent people, grown soft with luxury and parted with our iron ways. Here is Charlot Molino come to visit us, Spanish arena star, bull fighter of skill and renown, who is to appear in a sort of denatured bull fight at Madison Square Garden shortly, and how do we print his picture? Lauding his strength or his daring? Alas, not. We announce only that the ring costume he is wearing cost $4,000.

The Gypsy now has a daily output of 600 barrels and has become one of the successful independent companies of Huntington Beach. The Holly Oil Co.'s well brought in last week has settled down to a daily production of 450 barrels. The oil is running close to 24 gravity and is a much better product than was expected for this part of the field. The General Petroleum is about ready to abandon Community No. 1. Drilling is now at 440 and the shale and shell does not show any indications of oil. The Interstate Oil Co. has taken over the property and holdings of the Bolsa Chica Oil Co., and will develop them for 50 per cent of the production. For some time the Interstate has been working on propositions to get into Huntington Beach. The Interstate will develop the Bolsa Chica's holdings on Signal Hill also. The T. & T. Oil Co. is included in the Interstate deal with Bolsa Chica. The Interstate Oil Co. is one of California's recognized successful oil producers and will make some money for the Bolsa Chica Oil Co. The Pantages-Huntington Oil Co. has spent six weeks attempting to clean out its No. 1 and get the well back on production. The efforts have failed and now the well is to be drilled deeper. Pantages-Huntington seem to criticize the idea of mudding up wells under pressure and the stand may have some merit. Long Beach was scheduled for its biggest well a few days at Jergins No. 1 formerly the National Crude. The well did not perform as to schedule and will probably settle down to a 400 barrel producer. Completed at 300 feet of oil sand was drilled through and indications pointed to something big. However after the formation water is off and the mud cleaned out the well may come up to expectations.

During the time the well was drilling this zone looked like it was oil bearing and warranted the test. The Standard Oil Co.'s Garden Grove well has passed into the extremely doubtful class. Drilling is now close to 5300 feet and the showings are no stronger than when drilling started. Garden Grove expected great things from the well, but it seems the hope are to be disappointed. It is the intention to go to 5,500 before abandoning. It will not be long before the possibility of having a connecting link between the Huntington Beach field and Signal Hill will be given some consideration. The B. & M. Oil Co. is drilling at Belmont and has 2000 feet of hole. The hard sand was struck at 1800 and the formation is checking out with some similarity to Huntfington Beach. The outlook for the National Exploration Co. getting a producer at Olinda is not very promising. National Olinda No. 1 is now drilling at 4845 in the brown sale, the oil showings not being mentioned. The Union's big gasser holds the center of the stage at Santa Fe Springs. Alexander No. 1 now represents all the action of a volcano without the fire. The main crater has enlarged to about 100 feet and the interior crater is estimated at 30 feet. The gasser is reputed to be the biggest thing in America. Union Oil officials have conservatively estimated the output at 200 million cubic feet. The big Bell well was not affected by the gas blow out, as the production continues to hold steadily at 4000 barrels. The blow out occurred at 2060, Bell No. 1 is producing at 3788.

Baldy" was repeated several times this morning in assembly as the junior classes marched up on the stage. Today was the seniors' annual "ditch day" and as tradition calls for it, the juniors had to show their sorrow for the seniors' departure in some way. The stage was fixed up to represent Mt. Baldy and lots of snow and plenty of rocks and boulders were displayed. Marching in on the stage were the minister, deacon, mourners, friends and relatives of the dead and the bier. Pathetic songs were sung and then the funeral possession marched off. When the curtain again arose, the audience beheld the resurrection of the seniors. St. Peter was present in all his glory. He called on the various seniors and sold them the place where they were to find their everlasting rest. The curtain was lowered as the last poor struggling disappeared from the universe. Such was the fate of the seniors. However, this is only a fairy tale, and the seniors will be back again at their regular school routine tomorrow morning only they will be limping, tired and sore from their annual exercises.
