DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Even rage itself is cheered with music; It wakes a glad remembrance of our youth. Calls back the joys, and warms us into transport.—Rowe. The rarest of all brands of courage is moral courage. The Arms Conference is a failure only to those who desire to see it fall. Every boy in the land should have access to a good biography of Abraham Lincoln. The cause of peace has been getting a square deal with the Arms Conference round table. It remains to be seen whether or not Congress will put vision in the revision of the tariff. If you are an enthusiastic admirer of California, tell your friends, living elsewhere, about it. Former service men of the World War should be treated justly with generous consideration. It is going to be a happy New Year from all indications, for everybody except the cynic and pessimist. The submarine, under the agreement reached at the Arms Conference, is as a serpent with its poison fangs extracted. To be thrifty is not to be miserly and hoard money. Genuine thrift conserves money, but keeps it usefully at work. It does not hoard, nor does it hide money in ancient stockings, in cases of uncertain vintage, or the FEDERAL PLANS TO END GRADE CROSSINGS Uncle Sam is against the grade-crossing. He is so strongy against it that he will not tolerate it on the highways to which the United States government gives financial aid, all grade-crossings which can be abolished will be. This course will be of vast benefit, not only because of the large number of crossings which it will remove altogether, but because of the influence it doubtless will have in inducing states and counties to adopt the same method. The grade-crossing is an unmitigated evil. It causes almost memberless tragedies. It is a constant menace to life and limb. Its abolishment would be wise and humane. California should put itself in the van of states in getting rid of crossings at grade. CLERK IS HONEST UNDER TEMPATION There’s a haberdasher clerk in New York—a A. C. Thierer by name—who has shown himself to be honest to the core. This clerk found $20,000 in currency left on a counter in the store by a patron. Instead of trying to conceal his find and dishonestly to appropriate it to his own use, this clerk returned it promptly to the owner, who, missing the money, had returned to the store in search of it. The clerk was given $100 as reward. But this clerk, or any one who does as he did, has a reward infinitely greater than $100 or any other sum, in money—the consciousness of having done the honest thing, in circumstances that might tempt moral weaklings to be dishonest. This consciousness of honest action and honest purpose is the noblest form of wealth one can have—the most satisfactory. It is going to be a happy New Year from all indications, for everybody except the cynic and pessimist. The submarine, under the agreement reached at the Arms Conference, is as a serpent with its poison tangs extracted. To be thrifty is not to be miserly and hoard money. Genuine thrift conserves money, but keeps it usefully at work. It does not hoard, nor does it hide money in ancient stockings, tin cans of uncertain vintage, or the teapot. The savings of the thrifty go on deposit in bank, or in a home, or in something that has a livening effect upon the material prosperity of the community. SLIGHT DAMAGE TO FRUIT FROM WIND Damage from the wind storm of last night and today will be more severe than that from the December storm, according to grower members of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n. Up to midnight last night Pomona and the section west of it appeared to be out of the range of the storm. This was true also of the December blow. The damage will be heavy, but how heavy is still uncertain. Manager W. H. Schureman said, today. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n said the present storm seems to be blowing more steadily and was not likely to prove so destructive. The Stewart Fruit Co.'s office reported that a good deal of damage was being done, but could make no estimate as yet. The naval oranges of growers affiliated with the concern have either been picked or have fallen for the most part, it was said, and therefore were not subject to much further damage. Valencias also are suffering from the storm, and as in the former case when the original estimate of five per cent loss from fruit that had actually fallen had to be raised, so in the present case the damage due to fruit bruised and which will drop later on, cannot be foreseen beforehand. Damage to growers in the Placenta district, due to the combined effects of the December wind storm and rains, aggregated in a few instances as high as 50 or 60 per cent, it is stated here. VICTORY BONDS HIT $160.30 Victory: 45% per cent bonds touched in New York yesterday. Brea News BREA, Jan. 13.—(zpl.) Mrs. Edeburn of Whittier and friends were Brea visitors Tuesday.

The standard is leasing more and every week and now hold the greater portion of land southwest of Buena Park. There are numerous rumors of immediate drilling operations but the Standard will drill when good and ready. The Library, a branch of the County Free Library, is proving that Cypress likes to read. The books are spoken for ahead and there are very few in at any time. It is suggested by the committee in charge that the patrons of the district loan the library any and all books that they may have on hand, that are not especially cared for by the owners. In this way the demand may be taken care of. The Mumps have been visiting some of our good people. The R. W. Binghams have all been subject to the malady. Mrs. Bingham was quite ill but is much better now. Ralph Scally and Doris Stewart put one over on their many friends when they were quietly married New Years. It has been generally suspected for some time that popular young couple were contemplating the 'rash step' but just when no one knew. Their many friends wish them a long and happy wedded life. It is reported that D. C. Batls lost his bearings and drove his Carter car off the road into a mud hole New Year's eve. In years gone by, New Year's eve might produce anything, but in these dry days, how could a man loose the road? The Farm Center is expecting to have another of their enjoyable meetings Thursday evening. There will be a program of music, readings, speeches and lastly refreshments. W. A. Sirran is down and out from a strain or catch he received while dressing some porkers. The most of us would be pleased to have the porkers to dress and would be likely to over lift or eat, one or the other.

NEFF, Local Agent, P FRANKLIN TO PUT OUT A $1000 CAR A $1000 car is to be put on the market by the Franklin Automobile Company, Syracuse, it was announced today by H. H. Franklin at a meeting of eastern Franklin dealers, according to word received by Bob White, Franklin distributor for Orange-co. A chassis of the new car was exhibited privately on this occasion. The car has a four-cylinder, air-cooled engine, weighs 1,800 pounds and is of five-passenger size. Prediction will commence early in 1923, the actual date depending upon completion of patterns, tools and the securing of machinery. Quantity deliveries are in prospect by April 1923, at which time output will be nearing the 100 per day mark. The new car was developed in 1918 and 1919 and was to have been produced in 1920 but was postponed when business depression hit the country. Franklin officials anticipate that the new car will come on the market at a time when general conditions will be most favorable for volume sale. The outstanding feature of the car, aside from its low price, will be its easy riding and handling, roadability, gasoline and tire economy and the air-cooling system. It will be a "world-wide utility car," Mr. Franklin states. Besides the $1000 touring car, a sedan is also to be produced, price of which, although not yet fixed, will be equally low. Merchandising of the $1000 car will extend to world markets and will mean considerable expansion of dealerships in this country, the meeting disclosed.
