DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Think not a coronet can hide Assuming ignorance and pride; By birth the name alone descends Your honor on yourself depends. —Gay. The submarine no longer is to be the nightmare of warfare. Technicalities in legal procedure should not be permitted to put manacles on Justice. The Arms Conference has failed to be a failure, and this is what is troubling some of the critics. Corruption of the electorate should be treated as a very grave crime anywhere it may occur, in this country. They have hard political storms in Ohio occasionally, but not hard enough to destroy the Presidential timber. Resigning the premiership of France has become in the nature of a mere incident in the life of M. Briand Having resigned as premier half a dozen times, at intervals, Mr. Briand may be said to be resigned to his political fate. The Chicago grand opera organization is losing $800,000 per season. Almost as profitable as operations of the United States Shipping Board have been. The same enthusiasm about doing generously by former service men of the World War should prevail today MOVING PICTURE LUBES WILL S. HAYS Reports, coming frequently from Washington, to the effect that Will S. Hays, Postmaster General, is about to resign from the cabinet to take up the general direction of the motion-picture industry, are confirmed by official announcement by President Harding and by Mr. Hays. It is expected that the latter will quit the cabinet about March 4. There are angles to the loss of cabinet officials of high efficiency to private business which are disquieting. Without dwelling too much upon the "should-be" and the "should not be", it is pertinent to discuss briefly this subject from the standpoint of the government service. There is needed in the cabinet men of the highest executive and administrative abilities—men of business acumen and of pronounced initiative. Will S. Hays is a live-wire as organizer and in his faculty for getting big things done well. Even his political enemies recognize and concede this. It is men of his calibre that great business, financial and manufacturing interests are seeking. These private interests well can afford to offer remuneration far beyond the modest salaries which cabinet officers draw. Men of the cabinet usually are men of moderate or even limited means. Hence when a very attractive offer comes to a cabinet officer from these private sources, the inducement is very strong for him to accept. Mr. Hays has accepted just as Mr. McAdoo, of President Wilson's cabinet, resigned, giving his reason that he could not afford to live in Washington and maintain his Left to right: tion of gifts to those were raised among TRACTOR SU QUOTA NEA The tractor school 30-Feb. 4, 1922.at Santa Ana high school quota of sixty members still room for a few entries.

The Chicago grand opera organization is losing $800,000 per season. Almost as profitable as operations of the United States Shipping Board have been. The same enthusiasm about doing generously by former service men of the World War should prevail today as existed in 1917 and 1918, when those brave boys were offering their all. That which in Paris would be regarded as a grave political crisis, in Washington would be treated as a little flurry. Americans do not take their politiciana so seriously as the French do thefts. "Government economically administered" should be no mere campaign shibboleth. It should be an accomplished fact, and should be the permanent rule. It lies with the people to see that it becomes such. The world's greatest commercial expansion is sure to take place in the Pacific ocean within the next quarter of a century. California should square away and make ready to avail itself of the wondrously rich commercial opportunities that lie before it. Hint to Truman H. Newberry: Know what your political friends are doing for you; how much they are spending, and in what manner. Each and every political candidate should know these things. A. B. Brooks, of San Francisco, just elected a director of the Standard Oil Company, began his career in the West as a common sailor on a whaling vessel. He had hard voyaging at first, but is having smooth sailing now. —When you think of Plumbing, come and see us, for the next ten days we will sell complete to the floor the following A No. 1 Fixtures: - Gift.

The possibilities of fertilizer manufacturing and of power development at that natural shoals in the Tennessee River are so promising that men of national or international renown for business acumen are bidding for the uncompleted plant and the franchise. Chief among these is Henry Ford. What ever criticisms may be made of those characteristics of Mr. Ford which many regard as vagaries, it must be conceded that he is one of the shrewdest, most successful manufacturers of this generation. He is seeking to acquire the Muscle Shoals plant and to develop it very extensively. His bid and two others are on file at Washington. Decision as to who shall be awarded the plant is to go to Congress. Mr. Ford, with blunt energy, charges the matter being dragged into politics and that "the fertilizer trust, the power and chemical interests of Wall street, the money brokers and other interests that fear to have Muscle Shoals developed along lines that will serve all the people most, are deluging Secretary Weeks and Congress with literature that grossly misrepresents facts." It is to be hoped that Mr. Ford is mistaken in his accusations. For the fate of this great undertaking should be decided solely upon the business merits of the proposals made by responsible private interests, with particular emphasis but upon the safeguarding and conserving of the interests of the public. Politics, of course, should have nothing whatever to do with it. Trade of the United States with Latin America has doubled in the last eight years. To double it again, in the next five years, would be a capital achievement. The national government, therefore, seems destined to face this alternative: Either to increase the salary of the cabinet to such figure that members could not be tempted by proffers of big remuneration outside, or else frequently lose the service of able men, like Will S. Hays. MUSCLE SHOALS PLANS ARE IMPORTANT Proposed sale of the nitrate and power project at Muscle Shoals, Ala., by the federal government, to private interests, is of public importance.

RESTRICT RAISIN COMPANY WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—“Comprehensive and sweeping restrictions concerning the relations of the company toward the vineyardists, competitors and the public” are announced by Attorney General Daugherty PASTOR'S WORK LONDON, Jan. 18.—The angels would not let him work because it would harm his health, is the claim of Rev. G. Maurice Elliott, who says that he can talk to the angels at any moment of the day. Rev. Elliott says that he and his household know “Heavenly Guides” as quite familiar spirits. “When studying for a rather stiff examination,” he says, “we (meaning himself and a woman relative) were told by one of our guides to cease studying at 11 p.m. and retire to rest. “This rule was very irksome, and we sometimes entirely forgot that there were such things as time and rest. “Often, when we were in the middle of mastering some difficult problem, the light in the study would begin to lower and was even turned right out by unseen hands, and we would make the discovery that the hour of 11 had struck. “We found no ordinary reason for the occurrence. But we found this extraordinary phenomenon—that we could not relight the gas in the study the same night. The phenomenon occurred five or six times.” BRIDE WANTS TO GROW RHUBARB PIE LEGRANGE, Ohio, Jan. 18.—Utra! Help! A young bride from Cleveland inquired about pie plants while visiting her aunt here. “We like ples. I'd like to see what kind of pie grow. If we like them we will want some of the pie plants in the spring,” the bride from the nation’s “fifth city” told her aunt. COMMITTEE AFFIRMS ‘OPEN DOOR’ POLICY WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The powers in the Washington conference today had pledged themselves to the open door in China. It was learned by the United Press today that the delegates of the nine powers in the secret session of the Far Eastern committee last night approved a resolution of the American government solemnly affirming the “open-door” policy in China. The resolution is understood to be the most sweeping and definite promise ever given by the nations of the world to observe the policy of the open door. Definite announcement that the resolution is broader than the Hay open-door announcement; that it is intended to abolish “spheres of influence” in China and that it broadens and defines the Root declarations already made come from a Chinese delegate. COWTESTING ASSN. HAS GOOD RESULTS Monthly report for cowtesting association of Orange-co., shows good results for December. Thirty-four per cent of all cows tested produced over 40 per cent butterfat during the month. This is an increase of 10 per cent over November. which proves that local dairymen are feeding more carefully and keeping cows that mean dollars and cents; rather than use bit and miss methods in their business.

The overhead must be reduced and the source of supply governed by the demands of the consuming public. It is no longer a case of growing two blades where one grew before, but it is the studying the cost of growing these blades in order to place it in the hands of the consumer at a popular price with a fair return to the growers. Eggs, fruit, vegetables, milk and other leading products must receive this consideration, and the sooner we can hope for stabilization in price and market. Careful thinkers also inform us that competition is going to enter into the readjustment program, more than it has for many years. Not only competition in manufactured but in raw goods as well, one going hand in hand with the other. It therefore behooves farmers to know the detail of their enterprises and place on the market a finished standardized product, so that foreign shipments and inferior materials will not find a ready market. The winner in this competitive game will therefore be the fellow who has cut his overhead to the minimum and giving an educated public the product he desires. RARE CONVENTION ON GLACIER PEAK INDEX, WASH., Jan. 18.—A convention of ladybugs is as rare as it is interesting.

The ladybugs are small beetles living upon aphids and minute insects. They have been in demand in the western states for years because of their work in eating the U.S. ON BRINK OF ROAD BUILDING ER. CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—The United States stands at the dawn of the greatest road building era in its history. The nation will soon have the finest and most extensive system of highways the world has ever known. This is the belief of the road builders who attended the National Roads congress here today. Nearly $1,135,000,000 is available under federal, state and county appropriations; tax levies and bond issues for road work this year, according to J. E.

Olaf Erickson, a trapper, stumbled upon a mass of these tin creatures, tens of thousands of them, huddled together, dormant with the cold, on a sunny side of Glacier peak, in the Cascades at an altitude of 7304 feet. The ladybugs are small beetles living upon aphids and minute insects. They have been in demand in the western states for years because of their work in eating the green aphis from fruit trees and berry bushes. Horticulturists and farmers prize them highly. Two years ago thousands of these tiny beetles were imported from China, where they are propagated to aid in keeping mulberry trees free from insects. The imported bugs are distributed throughout several sections of this state.
