Every dollar of public money should be expended with honesty and economical efficiency. In realizing the good things of your life, do not forget the gooseberry pies that mother used to make. No attempt should be made at any time, to upbuild any part or all of California by disparaging any other state. In enumerating the needs of this country, to help restore economic normality, do not overlook applied common sense. Pedestrians have no more right to be careless in walking across streets than drivers have to be reckless in driving. A person who can remember when girls had visible ears, was heard to remark that feminine ears were quite beautiful then. How many men have you met who can beast that they can fill out their income tax returns without hesitency or question? A great many are wondering what or who is holding back formal recognition, by the United States government, of the government in the city of Mexico.

Besides music, international speakers, roll call and parade of the Provinces, basket lunches, hot coffee, provincial registers souvenir. BURCH ASE GIVES ITS OBJECT LESSONS The disagreement of jury in the case of Arthur C. Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, brings many sober thoughts to the observant citizen. This case has dragged on for weeks, at great expense to the taxpayers of the county. And yet, no verdict is reached, and back to trial the case must go again, for another long and bitter legal battle. Meantime Mrs. Obenchain probably will be placed on trial, on the charge of conspiring with Burch for the murder of Kennedy. Regarding these cases, and others, such as that of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, with open mind directed to the actual results of the administering of law, the costs thereof and the failures thereof, there is much to confuse and to discourage those who respect law and love justice. There is a very general and a very pronounced feeling that justice is not administered as it should be, and that the fault lies with the system of procedure in the courts. There is not enough freedom and flexibility of action. Presiding judges, under the rock-hibbed, limitational system that has grown up, do not have enough positive prerogatives—not enough power vested in them to expedite trials; to prevent time-killing by attorneys; to eliminate confusing tactics by counsel; and to hold criminal hearings down to a simple, uncomplicated, fair attempt to get at the truth as quickly as possible, with as little expense to the taxpayers as is consistent with arriving at "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." The jury system, too, demonstrates its flaws. There is urgent need, here and all over the land, for very marked production boost this week with pans added to the new field. The Sacramento Co. covered its honors by bringing like the biggest wee pass thru 385 feet well. It will probabily days before this big event its own and gets us Sandburg Petroleum share of development has been the target of criticism. The knock comes booster now. The Jergins well is demned yet.

Clemmer & Millings CHEVROLET GARAGE 306 N. Los Angeles St. LONG BEACH GETS PRODUCTION BOOST Long Beach got its biggest production boost this week. Three companies added to the output of this new field. The Sandburg Petroleum Co. covered itself with the big honors by bringing in what looks like the biggest well on the hill. Sandburg No. 1 drilled to 3200 feet passed thru 385 feet of oil sand and has the carmarks of a 1000-barrel well. It will probably be several days before this big well comes into its own and gets underway. The Sandburg Petroleum has had its share of development troubles and has been the target of much unjust criticism. The knockers should become boosters now. The Jergins well is not to be condemned yet. This new producer, on account of being finished up with the rotary had a lot of mud and water in the hole to get out of the way before the oil could flow in its natural courses. Jergins No. 1 has made flows running all the way from 150 to 500 barrels and it is expected that when this well gets in position to produce it will make a 500-barrel well at the least. The San Martenag Oil Co. is scheduled to add 2000 barrels of new production to the Signal Hill output. Booth No. 1 has a record of 1500 barrels and there is little doubt that when the cement is drilled out the well will duplicate its first performance. Freeman No. 1 should make 500 barrels without taxing its capacity. The Interstate Oil Co. has entered into a working agreement with the A. & T. Oil Co. to develop its Signal Hill lease. It is understood that the Interstate will develop on a 50-50 basis and that development work will begin in the very near future. For some time the Interstate has been looking for holdings in both Huntington and Long Beach. The Interstate is one of the successful northern field developers, has stayed with the Newport field for five years and has an enviable recurrence. FAULTY VISION CAUSES ACCIDENTS That a large percentage of automobile accidents are caused by defective vision is one of the important findings of the accident committee of the California League for the conservation of vision. A special preliminary report asked for by directors of the league was prepared by Dr. Wm. M. Ketcham, president of the Los Angeles Medical School of Opthalmology and Optometry and chairman of the general accident committee of ten members. The report on automobile accidents said Dr. Ketcham, "was based upon the findings of several months of faithful and unceasing work by the committee, gathering statistics, interviewing and examining the eyes of several hundred victims of automobile accidents. Doing pioneer work it was necessary for the committee to do much studying and preparatory work. The report shows that about two per cent of automobile accidents are caused by defective machinery, such as defective brakes, loss of control, etc., about tweaty-five per cent can be attributed to speeding and recklessness and approximately fifty per cent by defective vision. Many of the drivers of machines admitted to the committee, that they did not see the other car" until too late to stop. The three defects causing most of accidents due to faulty vision are far and nearsightedness complicated by astigmatism and a restricted field of vision and blindness. BARLEY AND HAY MEN HURRY UP SEEDING Barley growers in various parts of the county are keeping their teams travelling at a fast walk, from early till late at night. If the farmer's voice has any influence with the weather people, there will be no rain for two or three weeks. Grain and hay growers are away behind in their work. The long dry spell hardened the ground so that many of the farmers stopped plowing and waited for rain. He rained again and kept sowing. S. O. SETS STAKES ON MITCHELL RANCH BUENA PARK, Jan. 20.-A letter has been received at the Lueokeman home from Mr. A. Luebkeman who is touring Europe. He arrived at his old home at Oldenburg, Germany, in time to spend Christmas with his brothers and sisters. They took him out riding in a carriage which Mr. Luebkeman says was nothing but a farm wagon. He states that he misses the California sunshine and automobiles. The location for the first Standard Oil well was laid out on the Mitchell ranch on Tuesday. Mr. C. J. Allen had his tonsils removed at the Anaheim hospital and is slowly recovering. A fine new desk has been added to the furnishings of the library. Mr. and Mrs. Little who have been renting the J. R. Thompson-home will move to Pasadena. Mrs. H. A. Allen has bought the Goddrich home in the Ritter tract and will make extensive improvements. Mr. J. F. Simpson is sub-dividing his acreage on Grand-ave and will build some houses to rent. Tract 213 of the Fogg Subdivision will be on the market on Monday. Mr. R. H. Meyer was called to Freemont, Nebraska last Saturday by the death of his mother. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Robeson were guests on Wednesday and Thursday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Z. Adams at Los Angeles. Miss Louise Luebkeman was the guest of Miss Fannie Wheeler of Santa Ana on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Cauldon spent Wednesday evening in Anaheim. Miss Anna Luebkeman and Mrs. The Interstate Oil Co. has entered into a working agreement with the A. & T. Oil Co. to develop its Signal Hill lease. It is understood that the Interstate will develop on a 50-50 basis and that development work will begin in the very near future. For some time the Interstate has been looking for holdings in both Huntington and Long Beach. The Interstate is one of the successful northern field developers, has stayed with the Newport field for five years and has an enviable record for a small company. The United Oil Co. has gotten into the Signal Hill production column. Denni No. 1, completed at 2890, started off flowing by heads and looks like a 400-barrel well. Some interesting things are developing in the B. & M. Oil Co.'s well at Bellmont. The shale at 2600 showed colors enough to excite any follower of a wildcat well. The showings were so good that Elliot, the core drill man, was called on to make some cuts. That Garden Grove is not to get a place on the oil map of So. Calif. is almost a foregone conclusion. The Standard has passed 5300 feet and the showings are not any better than when drilling first started. It was lucky for the Garden Grove Petroleum Co. to fall into the hands of the Standard Oil Co. The Standard figures that one wildcat well in seven is good business. Garden Grove No. 1 does not look like it is going to be the one of good business. The Union's big gasser Alexander No. 1 at Santa Fe Springs is quiet. The big well, rated as the biggest gas well in the country has exhausted itself. A hole in the ground ten feet deep and 100 feet across is all that remains now. This great chasm will be filled up and a second well started soon. The Union estimates its loss at $35,000, a comparative small loss for such a big disaster. Seemingly the escaping of 200 million feet of gas for ten days did not impair So. Calif.'s master well, Bell No. 1. This great producer continues to put 4000 barrels of 32 gravity oil in the tanks every day. The Standard Oil Co.is scheduled to be the next Santa Fe Springs producing company. The Standard's Browrigg-Kellar has passed the 4,000-foot mark and will be nearing the oil sands soon. The Wilshire Oil Co. has just made an important discovery. The source of the water that has menaced this well for more than a year has been located. It has been determined that it is bottom water coming in at 4954. Efforts will be made now to get the pipe down and shut this water off. The feature of the Montebello field is the wonderful manner in which the St. Helens Petroleum's big Eggleston well is holding up to its initial production. On production now for three months this well is doing close to 800 barrels net. The St. Helens is getting ready to start a well on the Mulholland lease, and will be drilling there in a few weeks. Redondo's most important developments is the securing of a water shut off by the Union Oil Co.at Francis No. 1. The casing was set at 3165 and on drilling out the cement the well showed considerable oil. Union's Somers is drilling at 4845 and not showing anything. The Chansler Canfield Midway is making excellent progress getting the Del Amo well fixed up for redrilling and deepening. Swedging out is now at 2150. Dominguez No. 1 at 2950 is drilling in brown shale and looks like it would make a producer right now. Treating that punctured tire right. If you leave a large nail hole unfilled in a tire you leave an opening for dust and water to attack the fabric, says our Little Vulcanizer.
