California should go after illiteracy with the "big stick" of knowledge. He that has contentment within himself is rich beyond the treasures of kingdoms. Worry, fast living, fast eating and over-eating shunt many a person into a premature grave. American pluck, enterprise and energy are fast putting economic readjustment into the past tense. The troubles one expects seldom are so bad as expected. Bad expectations usually are extravagant. This and other nations should sacrifice anything, in reason, to preserve peace with honor and justice. Wonder if any of these champion athletes whimper when mother asks them to bring in a load of wood? Wise care should be exercised to prevent the breaking up and disintegration of the surface of California's improved roadways. Reform of motion pictures, insofar as there may be need of reforming, should come from the quick conscience of those who make them. If the United States were morally unscrupulous it would not be the greatest Nation on earth. But it is greatest because it is morally scrupulous. When the Winter King sends icy gales and driving snows up and down the Atlantic seaboard, he does some capital advertising for Southern California. It is infinitely sad to see a man or woman come to old age without religious faith and may hape without moral standards. STORMS ARE BLESSINGS TO THIS STATE Before grumbling about the temporary disagreeableness of the weather, stop and make an open-minded, business-like inventory as to what a storm is worth to California in general and Southern California in particular. Recent storms did some damage in places, it is true. This should be reckoned in the stock-taking. But over against the losses, put on the credit side of the benefits that surely will accrue to this state and section. The ground is saturated. Fruit trees will be benefitted greatly. Enough moisture will be carried in the soil to bring on grass and grain in abundance and to curtail the volume of irrigation which will be required next summer. Heavy snowfall on the mountains and highlands throughout the state are very reassuring as to ample supply of water for the whole state during the forthcoming dry season. This enormous precipitation, burying itself in the heart of the watershed mountains, will be as golden treasure when the long, warm, e rainless season comes on. Particularly favored is this Southland, which has had comparatively scant precipitation for several seasons. The heavy rains and snows will store up water and when it is most needed the life-giving fluid will be forthcoming to nourish the orchards, grain fields and vegetable gardens of this fruitful section. Take the long and broad view, and do not murmur even though the storm comes with fury and wreaks some damage as it sweeps over this region. Trivial losses soon will be forgotten in the joys of abundant harvests which copious precipitation will bring. It would be the poorest kind of business and the rankest folly to improve the highways of the state and then let the improvements deteriorate. Every improved roadway should If the United States were morally unscrupulous it would not be the greatest Nation on earth. But it is greatest because it is morally scrupulous. When the Winter King sends icy gales and driving snows up and down the Atlantic seaboard, he does some capital advertising for Southern California. It is infinitely sad to see a man or woman come to old age without religious faith and mayhap without moral standards. They are as drift-ing derelicts on the sea of life. ANOTHER MOVE FOR CROWN STAGE Among the new ordinances adopted at the meeting of the Orange city trustees at their recent meeting was one forbidding the Crown Stage lines from loading and unloading passengers on Chapman-ave, for a distance of several blocks. The present office is in the Orange Inn building, on Chapman, between Olive and Lemon-sts, but under the new ruling, which becomes effective in 30 days, the convenient location must be vacated or one where traffic is not so heavy. INCOME TAX Returns must be filed by March 15. Statements compiled for reasonable fees. No charges for consultation. VICTOR D. LOLY Anaheim Suite 4 Central Building Telephone 656 (after 6 p.m.) 217 S. Palm Telephone 449-J Brea News BREA, Feb. 3.—(Spl.) Pastor W. E. Spicer of the Brea Christian church is very low with pneumonia, he took down with La Gripe the next day after the funeral of his wife, and is now making a great fight for recovery. Dr. McMullan and Dr. Perrett are in charge. His many friends are anxiously waiting for a speedy recovery. Mrs. J. E. Reynolds is still on the sick list but able to be around. SAYS GOVT SAVED R. R.'S WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—The government saved the railways and didn't "ruin" them as charged. William G. McAdoo, former director general, told the interstate commerce committee of the senate. The government saved millions of dollars and improved the service, he added. "The appalling transportation crisis" is what forced the taking over of the roads as a military and economic measure.

MEMBERS AT WHITE TEMPLE A year ago the White Temple Sunday School staff set out to raise the enrollment of the Sunday school to 1,000. It has already reached 950. It is confidently expected that it will pass the 1,000 mark before the Easter season. Meantime the work has been brought up to standard by thorough grading and organization. Last Wednesday night at the directors' meeting it was stated that the rapid expansion and growth of the school would mean the enlargement of the present plant. Two years ago this coming April the church building was dedicated and every one or nearly everyone thought the building SHELL BRINGS IN TWO BEACH WELLS The Shell Co. of Calif. has secured a place for Long Beach on the petroleum map of the south. Two recent completions of the Shell Co. added 2100 barrels of new production to the Long Beach fields output. Horsch No. 1 redrilled and deepened to 2990 is now producing 1500 barrels and is the third largest producer brought in in So. Calif. since the opening of the year. Almost 500 feet of oil sand was drilled thru in the Horsch well and this will no doubt insure a big long time producer. Jones No. 1 is another nice well just completed by the Shell Co. Jones No. 1 is 3105 feet deep and is making 650 barrels. Horsch No. 1 is making 25 gravity oil and Jones No. 1 is producing 21.7 gravity fluid. At 3285 the Fischer Oil Co. struck some excellent showing of oil sand, and it is believed that production is near. The showing is rather unusual in that the Dabney well was drilled to almost 3900 feet and failed to get any showings. The Dabney well is a location north of the Fischer. The General Petroleum is making a wonderful transformation in the way of cleaning up oil and putting things in order again after the big disaster at Black-Drake. All the roads and highways have been covered with sand, land is being cleaned up, and new rig-is going up for the big well. The General Petroleum has started work on two new wells, Signal No. 1 and Clock No. 1. The Henderson Petroleum Syndicate's Lekas No. 1 looks like a big well at the comparative shallow depth of 2400 feet. Showings very similar to those found in the Black-Drake gusher began appearing soon after the drill passed 2300. The Jergins well on Signal Hill is still in the experimental stage, it does not produce true to form and efforts are being made to locate the trouble. The well flows at times by heads at from 150 to 500 barrels. There does not seem to be gas enough to maintain the column of oil. Eventually the well will be put on the beam and pumped. Heaving sand has prevented the Oceanside Oil Co. from bringing in its bog well. Cleaned out and in perfect production condition the well E. J. Miley has a producer at State Consolidated No. 1. Completed at 3331 this new well is making close to 200 barrels. This will probably be the only well the State Consolidated will have in the Huntington Beacon nieu. It will be only a matter of a short time now until the McIntyre Bros. will be listed as oil producers at Huntington Beach. McIntyre Royalty Sundicate No. 1 at 2635 feet is showing an excellent oil sand and has all the indications of making one of the best wells in the south side of the field. McIntyre Brothers have been strong boosters for Huntington Beach for some time and their success comes fully earned. The Rhoads Oil Co. is rapidly building up into one of the strongest independent producers at Huntington Beach. In a little less than four months the Rhoads Oil Co. has built up a daily production of 1000 barrels. Rhoads No. 2 the big well continues to make 450 barrels. If there were more thinking there would be less pointless talking. Great Women —that formerly sold in oat at the Low Price of $2.95 kid, very stylish with Culb and widths from A to D. Hundreds of Other Women Sunday School Hall set out to raise the enrollment of the Sunday school to 1,000. It has already reached 960. It is confidently expected that it will pass the 1,000 mark before the Easter season. Meantime the work has been brought up to standard by thorough grading and organization. Last Wednesday night at the directors' meeting it was stated that the rapid expansion would mean the enlargement of the present plant. Two years ago this coming April the church building was dedicated and every one or nearly every one thought the building too large for the needs of the congregation. Now it is seen to be too small. The Fidelis Class, the Class of Live Wire Women, taught by Mrs. W. A. Brown, has already reached 160 enrollment and has set the mark at 200. Professor L. H. Nichols of the High School corps of teachers has taken the Men's class with an enrollment of nearly 100. Mr. Charles Eygabroad's Bible class has set its goal at 100 and will soon be there. Mr. J. M. Gunnett has taken over another Bible class and Dr. J. A. Jackson, formerly with the Johnson-Wickett clinic, but now opening up a private medical practice, has become teacher of a class of young married men. Professor L. G. Kellam has become superintendent of the Intermediate Department. Every teacher and officer and worker in the school is pledged, voluntarily, to assist Dr. Geissinger in the Forward Movement campaign, which culminates Easter Sunday. Mr. George M. Tedrick is the general superintendent of the school; Mr. W. J. Elliott is the general secretary and Mr. N. R. Phillips, the treasurer. The department heads are: Cradle Roll, Mrs. W. M. Wellman; Beginners, Mrs. Will Wagner; Primary, Mrs. J. K. Langdon; Intermediate, L. G. Kellam; Senior, S. R. Coate; Young People's, W. H. Lewis; Adult, F. T. Edmiston. WOMAN DEFENDANT IN CHECK COMPLAINT Complaint was filed today against Mrs. C. A. Turner charging her with issuing a no-fund check for $15 to R. McCarthy. The check was alleged to have been drawn Jan. 26 upon the Farmers and Merchants Savings bank, Santa Ana. BLIGHTED WOOD WEARS According to tests made in Pennsylvania wood of blighted chestnut trees is more durable for many out-of-door purposes than that from healthy trees, the disease adding a preserving element. The Book of Revelation will be the subject of the Sunday night sermon by The Jergins well on Signal Hill is still in the experimental stage, it does not produce true to form and efforts are being made to locate the trouble. The well flows at times by heads at from 150 to 500 barrels. There does not seem to be gas enough to maintain the column of oil. Eventually the well will be put on the beam and pumped. Heaving sand has prevented the Oceanside Oil Co. from bringing in its bog well. Cleaned out and in perfect production condition the well is expected to start off at from 4 to 5 hundred barrels. Located within the shadow of the Shell discovery well Oceanic has every chance of becoming one of the big wells of Long Beach. Clarence M. Turner the man who successfully financed the Oceanic Oil Co. and put it on Signal Hill now heads a second company. The new company is the Tehmescal Oil Co. Tehmescal No. 1 is located a little west of the United Oil Co.'s Denni No. 1 now a 450 barrel producer. Drilling has started on the Tehmescal. That the Sandburg Petroleum Co.'s No. 1 has the earmarks of a well can be judged by the fact that it made a flow of 800 barrels in five hours. Sand continues to bother the production and as yet it has not been possible to keep the well following steadily. Undoubtedly when this well gets down to regular business it will make a 600 barrel producer. Four companies at Huntington Beach brot in new producers during the past week. The best well of the group was brot in by the Amalgamated Oil Co.at Miley-Keck No. 8 drilled to 3400 feet this producer came in at 350 barrels. The Argonaut Oil Co.brot in a 200 barrel well at Johnson No. 1 at a depth of 3265. The Edens-Tracy Oil Co.put the former Sandburg Petroleum Co.'s well on the beam a few days ago.Completed at 2270 this new well started off at 150 barrels. Anaheim Battery Co.

B. Cox when they appear before him in the future. A statement to this effect was made by Judge Cox when he sentenced Jesus Herrata, a Mexican, to 90 days in the county jail on two different charges. The second term will begin at the expiration of the first. The prisoner stated that the man from whom he bought the liquor had gone blind as a result of drinking his own brew. "Yes, and you will go blind too, if you keep on drinking the stuff," said Judge Cox. OIL PRODUCTION DROPS Production of 1,415,950 barrels of petroleum per day was the average for the week ending Jan. 28 as compared with 1,418,200 barrels for the preceding week, the American Petroleum Institute announces. PUREBREDS BEAT ORDINARY STUFF It is the concern of opinion of 500 growers of purebred and grade live stock who were questioned by the United States Department of Agriculture that the purebred sire is from 10 to 400 per cent better than the ordinary sire. This applies to all classes of live stock. Many of the men who replied to the department's questionnaire gave figures and specific instances to back up what they had to say regarding the remarkable improvement effected in a relatively short time. In reply to the question as to the value of their example in inducing others in the community to take up improved live stock most of these farmers and breeders said that they had been the means of starring at least two or three, and one man who had been raising purebreds for 40 years said he had influenced every man in the neighborhood.—B.
