OLY GREETING TO OUR READERS Oh! who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried. And danced in triumph o'er the waters wide. The exulting sense—the pulse's maddening play, That thrills the wanderer of the trackless way.—Byron. The impending war between Mexico and Guatemala seems to be lost, strayed or stolen. There is hope among the pleasure-seekers as baseball teams prepare to go into spring training. "An apple a day will keep the doctor away." But one apple a day will not cure hunger for another one. It will be about as formidable a job to dam state selfishness as to dam the Colorado River at Boulder Canyon. What women shall wear mere men never shall be able to settle, or even be brave enough to attempt to settle. About the silliest and deadliest pastime conceivable is, trying to beat a fast-running train across a grade-crossing. About the best-managed institution in this country is the home where there is a competent and careful housewife. When politics attempts to take a hand where it should not, it should be slapped on the hand and told to keep its place. It seems that not more than half of those disparaging prevarications about Premier Palcare's policies are true. SEWAGE DISPOSAL BIG PROBLEM FOR CITIES Sewage disposal appears to be the big problem in all the rapidly growing cities of southern California. Los Angeles must have additional sewage disposal facilities at once. A special election will be called by the city council to vote on issuing $4,000,000 bonds to build two big intercepting sewers and treatment plants. This is the alternative recommended by the special sewage disposal commission, as the result of the defeat at the last municipal election, of the $12,000,000 bond issue for a new outfall to the ocean. The proposed interceptors are only a part of the larger project, which must inevitably be carried out; but if the growth of Los Angeles continues at a rate approximating that of the last two years, the interceptors will tide over only a very short period. Neighboring beach cities have fussed with Los Angeles for years over the ocean outfall at Hyperion. Now they are objecting to Los Angeles discharging effluent from treated sewage into Ballona creek, which runs around the north end of the Baldwin hills through the salt marshes to the ocean at Playa del Rey. It is proposed to use Ballona creek to carry the effluent both from a temporary outfall to take the overflow from the main outfall and the west side interceptor. But all these cities and others have their problem of sewage disposal looming big just now, the same as Los Angeles. Venice has been ordered by the state board of health to cease polluting her own beach. Competent engineers have recommended a plan which will satisfactorily meet all demands of the city for a considerable period but the chamber of commerce of Venice is advocating a cheaper plan that will be only a make-shift. Hermons Beach too, has been advised by skilled engineers how to solve Although likely that it proceed furthest project, the sitting of W Drake and I a statement opinion that opment, that should be k funds should.

When politics attempts to take a hand where it should not, it should be slapped on the hand and told to keep its place. It seems that not more than half of those disparaging prevarications about Premier Palmer's policies are true. A great deal of up-to-date living is done on wheels. Autoling has reached proportions undreamed of twenty years ago. President Harding is cheerful on the job—unless those pictures of him, shown on the screen, were taken before he was elected President. Using poisoned gas in war is as monstrously barbarous as was the custom of savages in poisoning the arrows with which they fought. A great many persoons who think they need the rest cure, have hit upon the wrong treatment. Useful, agreeable, steady work is a wonderful curative. Milbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Milburn City, says that science and its teachings that the earth is round, are "silly riot." Too bad we have science knocked out with one fell blow, in such ruthless fashion! The American service man who, in 1917 and 1918, was tumultuously acclaimed a hero, and was patted on the back and promised every good thing that a grateful Nation could bestow, is standing at "attention," waiting to see how sincere and how consistent the American people are, more people in a restricted area.

SPUR Although it believes it to be unlikely that the Union Pacific will proceed further with its Olive-Tustin project, the growers committee, consisting of W. N. Gummings, D. C. Drake and I. L. Collins, today issued a statement in which it set forth the opinion that, pending definite development, the growers' organization should be kept intact, and that its funds should be conserved. In support of its view that the railroad will probably hold its plans in abeyance, the committee points out that "modern railroad management are really solicitous of the good will of the public," and cites this to be "good morals as well as good business." The committee further cites the overwhelming opposition that developed against the Olive-Tustin project. "The directorates of every association packing house from Olive to Tustin formally passed resolutions condemning the project, as did the Orange county board of supervisors, the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations," the committee set forth. The statement gives the view, in addition, that "the Union Pacific can obtain its object, that of originating freight, to the better advantage of all concerned, by not building the Olive-Tustin line." In this connection the committee states that the attention of President C. R. Gray of the Union Pacific has been called to the advantages of packing houses situated in the larger towns, as against those built in the outlying districts. "This," the statement said, "has been proven to the satisfaction of the growers themselves—as attested by the Central Lemon Growers' association, now perfecting its plans for building an enlargement, not upon its present house at Villa Park, but within the town of Orange." In conclusion, it was set forth that neither the committee nor any of its members have received advice or financial assistance from any of the railroads already serving the community concerned. NEW YORK, Feb. 6. — One of New York's $10,000 a year women, Miss Mary Hull, has established a training school for women in which she prepares business librarians, women executives, indexeers, translators, file clerks, secretaries, stenographers and typists. It is difficult to adopt oneself to some of the new ideas in behavior and legislation. The following report A made recently by a principal of a New York school on one of the teachers in the school in connection with the order given by the State Department of Education under the Luck law. Mesa — on when there is small attendance left the school to attend to some religious duties, putting her class under another teacher. There is to my knowledge no other charge against her morally. The jazzing flapper is just as good as was her grandmother before her. So says no less an authority than Lester F. Scott, national executive of the Camp Fire Girls. She has some superficial faults; she has bad manners occasionally, he admits, but fundamentally she is all right. As evidence of the truth that she is not all frivolity, Mr. Scott announced that the organization issued over 1,000,000 honors in homecraft to its girls last year. There is one nice thing about New York. With so many people here from so many parts of the world, you can find festivity somewhere at almost any time of year. Just now we are in a rush of getting ready for Carnival, the second biggest day in the year for the Italian colony. There is much work to be done in preparation, and if you happen to patronize an Italian bakery, you will find that ordinary business has been completely suspended in order to attend to the baking of the pasttale. Little cakes for the Carnival. There is an abundance of bustle and gayety through the streets where the Italians congregate which tells its story to anyone passing through. It's pretty nice, too, for those of us who get to thinking about business and the cold weather and all that. To have the carnival The funniest comedy I have seen this season is "Dukcy," so that the announcement that George S. Kaulman and Marc Connolly, its author have written a new one is a source joyful expectation. "To the Ladies is its festive title, and Helen Hayward and Otto Kruger are to have their leading roles. Another Russian actress is coming to Broadway. Galina Kopernak will make her debut in English in "Morning Marte," which is now under rehearsal and which the Players' Assembly will produce soon under the direction of Clarke Silvernall. New York is indeed the entire country has always been cordial in its reception of Russian actresses and sincere in its a preciation of them, and the Players tell us that Galina Koopernak will not disappoint this interest of ours. We begin to feel something like the inhabitants of a beleaguered city. At least we shall if these extern signs keep on reflecting on our curry. The latest jar to our instance that after all we are quite civilized and that life, limb and soul are quite as safe here as in any other part of this territorially broad country, is the testimony of the baggage delivery people. A hearing was held on the other day before the public service commission of the city to listen out why we had to pay so much money for our trunks and other belongings carried through our streets. And why do you suppose it is? Because of the dangers accruing to the Job Dangers of highwaymen and all sorts of things. It costs just 210 per cent for the baggage people say, of what costs in our docile neighboring cities of Philadelphia to operate a baggage delivery truck here. Just because we have to have extra men along to protect our baggage. In Philadelphia they can leave loaded trucks right in the streets all alone and they are still loaded when the driver returns. But not here! It is humiliating, and doubtfully, and yet we'll wager that New Yorkers will somehow think that joke is on Philadelphia instead of so determined are we to like our "lilies." BANKER AT ORANGE WEDS AT SAN DIEGO Clubmen and those prominent in social circles in Orange county today learned with keen interest that a marriage license was issued in San Diego yesterday to Mrs. Oralee L. West, of San Diego, and John R. Porter, cashier of the National Bank of Orange. Porter, familiarly known as "Jack" to his hundreds of friends in So. Calif., is prominent in club and social circles, a member of the Orange-co. Country Club, and is treasurer of the Orange-co. Bankers' Ass'n. He is a life member of the Santa Ana lodge of Elks. Although plans for the wedding had been kept comparatively quiet, intimate friends of both Porter and Mrs. West had been informed that the happy event was to be solemnized in the southern city, where the Orange banker has been a frequent visitor. HONEYMOONERS BUM RIDE ON TRAIN CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Mrs. Helen Bower told Judge Haas in police court today that she would "rather ride the rods" with her husband than in a Pullman with any other man. The couple from Grand Rapids, Mich., were arrested while "bumming" their way on a Michigan Central train. "We were on our honeymoon," Mrs. Bower said. "We went to Cedar Rapids, Ia., where John expected to get work, but when it didn't pan out, we were broke and had to bum our way home." The judge took up a collection and gave the couple $15 to ride the rest of the way in style. SIX SHARE $75,000 ESTATE Six heirs will share the $75,000 estate of the late Richard W. Cole, Placentia rancher, who died Jan. 30, it was revealed today in a petition for letters of administration, filed in the superior court by John E. Scott, of Placentia. A $30,000 ranch north of Placentia, other property worth $10,000 in that vicinity, and personal property and securities to the value of nearly $20,000 are included in the estate. The heirs are Mary Alice Cole, of Orange, the widow, Gertrude Addington, Postvale, Ariz.; Bertha Bessonett, Placentia; Mabel Summers, Orville. INCOME TAX DRIVE STARTS THIS A.M. Income taxpayers will have just one month and one week from the opening of the active drive in Orange county today in which to make out and file their reports with E. B. Burns, income tax collector for Orange-co. Burns opened his office in the city council chamber at 9 o'clock this morning, Santa Ana, and will be at that place every week day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. up to and including March 15, when the collection period will close. He will not answer telephone calls on tax matters at his home or home office, he announced. Neither will be answer correspondence on questions pertaining to the making out of reports. "No provision is made for supplying my office with assistants to take care of correspondence or telephone calls and I cannot take the time from my duties to give attention to such matters," said Burns. "Persons appearing in person and requesting information will be shown every courtesy and consideration. The work of accepting and assisting in the making out of reports and the filing of statements for each day's operations Typewriters —The R.A.

Abrams Book Store 116 W. Center, Anaheim SURE TO HELP SICK WOMEN Mrs. Baker, So Much Benefited by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, Anxious to Help Others Lebanon, Indiana. — "I was completely run down from women’s troubles and stomach trouble and for a long time was hardly able to do my work. I had some friends who had taken Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and they told me about it. I know what it has done for me and I recommend it to others, as I am sure it will be a great help to all sick women. It is a wonderful medicine, and I give you permission to use my testimonial and my photograph." — Mrs. Emma Baker, 310 S. East St., Lebanon, Indiana. These letters recommending Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ought to convince women of the great worth of this medicine in the treatment of ailments to which they are often subject. Mrs. Baker calls it "a wonderful medicine." If you are suffering from troubles women often have, or feel all run down, without any ambition or energy for your regular work, take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is a natural restorative and should help you as it has Mrs. Baker and many, many other women. Tuesday, February 7, 1922 etter niest comedy I have seen is "Dulcy," so that the event that George S.

JAYNES LINED UP FOR POSTAL JOB Just as soon as official wheels turn around to it, I. D. Jaynes is to be postmaster at Buena Park. Jaynes has received official notice of his appointment, and his bond has been given. Within a few days, no doubt, he will take charge of the office, succeeding Jack Golden, who held the office under Democratic appointment. Jaynes stated today that he has notified the post office department of his willingness to build a new building for the Buena Park office, at a location more central than where the office is now located. At present it is in Golden's store. Jaynes proposes putting up a new building adjoining the bank building. Jaynes' appointment can as the culmination of an unusually interesting post office fight. Originally there were five or six applicants, including Golden, who sought re-appointment. Jaynes and Golden were two of the three who were successful in getting upon the eligible list of the civil service department. Jaynes has long been a well known and leading Republican of Buena Park. For the last ten or twelve years he has served as township constable. For years he was connected with the Seventh Regiment, N. G. C., and went overseas as first lieutenant of the supply company of the 160th Infantry, Fortieth division. TREASURER MAILS REBATES ON TAXES Orange-co taxpayers to the number of 2,000 were today receiving rebates on personal property tax, representin an excess collection of this tax by County Assessor James Sleeper. The tax being collected under a former rate instead of the new reduced rate on personal property, there was an excess of $12,825.28, which County Treasurer J. C. Joplin was returning to the taxpayers in the form of rebate warrants. Some misunderstanding resulted from the warrants, some of their recipients thinking it was an additional tax and sending their checks covering the amount of the warrant back to the treasurer. Joplin stated that the warrants are negotiable anywhere and can be cashed at the treasurer's office, banks, or elsewhere. SELLS STORE TO CLERK L. D. Mercereau today was planning to close up his business affairs in connection with the operation of his grocery store at 1502 West Fifth-st. Santa Ana, following its sale to Louis J. Gall, who has been with Mercereau 13 of the 15 years since the latter has owned the store.

D. G. MALTBY, Agent Telephone 123 Southern Pacific Lines "They Don't Answer" When the telephone operator says, "They don't answer," it is after a sincere endeavor to get your party. She cannot compel an answer. "They Don't Answer" When the telephone operator says, "They don't answer," it is after a sincere endeavor to get your party. She cannot compel an answer. The party called may be unwilling to leave a particular household duty—may be in another part of the home beyond closed doors—may be chatting with a neighbor—may be marketing—may be slow in answering. Strange, but true, calls are sometimes designedly unanswered. Telephone records show that the great majority of "don't answer" reports come from residence calls. In business, where it is a matter of dollars and cents, it is always the assigned duty of some one to be within sound of the telephone bell. "They don't answer" is the statement of a situation absolutely beyond the control of the telephone operator.
