DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Oh, who that has ever had rapture complete, Would ask how we feel it, or why it is sweet? How rats are confused, or how particles fly Through the medium refined of a glance or a sight? Is there one, who but once would not rather have known it? Than written, like Harvey, whole volumes upon it? Thomas Moore. California climate seldom needs an apology. "Can't" is a word seldom found in the vocabulary of the successful person. Judge Landis no longer can be accused of trying to monopolize good jobs. Failure of Uncle Sam to recognise Mexico is not because of lack of acquaintance. The Arms Conference did its work well. It is to be hoped that the same can be said of the Senate: Those get-rich-quick swindlers talk plausibly. But their proposals will not bear the test of common sense. The three best friends of health are: Temperate Habits, abundant exercise and much time spent in the fresh air. A wonderful creative agency is sleep. And a soothing restorer of tired brain or body is this blessed boon of sleep! Marvelous is the human will, and wonderful are human achievements. ARBOR DAY OBSERVANCE HERE TO BE GOOD Quite fitting is the choice of the birth anniversary of Luther Burbank to be observed throughout California as arbor, bird and conservation day. This occasion will be honored by the schools of Pasadena tomorrow in the manner which is most impressive and most useful to the young—that is, by actual planting of trees. The planting exercises will take place in the Arroyo, between Washington and Dakota streets. An excellent program has been formulated by P. H. Shackelford, supervisor of agriculture in the elementary schools. The suggestion is made that two boys and two girls be chosen from each grade above and including the fourth in all schools of the district, to attend these exercises, as manifestly it would be impracticable to try to have all the pupils attend. And many teachers and principals as possible are urged to attend—also parents. The very best way to teach a thing effectively to the young is to visualize it. Let them see a tree planted—let them have part in the planting—and the impression is much more vivid than any amount of lecturing, no matter how eloquent. The importance of incubating lessons in behalf of reforestation, protection of song birds and conservation of trees and wild flowers and wildlife in general is great indeed! Here in California, in particular, where Nature is so prodigal in plant growth and in diversity of wild life, the importance of putting tree-planting and conservation to the fore is manifest. There should be general and very earnest co-operation in this. CLIMATE HERE LURES THE M'ADOO FAMILY Another notable triumph for California climate is scored! Mr. and Mrs. William G.

Marvelous is the human will, and wonderful are human achievements when backed by the unconquerable will-power! If a treaty hopes to go through the Senate smoothly to ratification, it should be careful to discard all "peace" labels. It is coming to pass that a peace treaty has about the same effect upon the Senate that sight of water has upon a rabid dog. David Lloyd George has become almost an institution in British governmental affairs, rather than mere person. Me persons seem to have been ar trying to besmirch the charm of the late William D. Taylor and to find his murderer. Less and less will be heard, henceforth, about "economic readjustment." The process is well along toward completion in this country. "Uncle Joe" Cannon is going to leave Congress—possibly to rest up for a few years and then go back and begin over again in the House. Britain would search long to find a man as capable of coping with great problems of state as Premier Lloyd George has proven himself to be. There has been a record fall of snow this winter on the mountains of California. This means a vast deal of added material riches for this commonwealth. Every eligible voter should register. This is an important year in state and national politics. There should be no "slackers" among those who are qualified to vote. It is as incumbent upon the pedestrian who uses the street to be careful in traffic as it is upon drivers. A great many serious accidents are due to carless pedestrians. CLIMATE HERE LURES THE M'ADOO FAMILY Another notable triumph for California climate is scored. Mr. and Mrs. William G. McAdoo are coming to Southern California to live because —Mrs. McAdoo wants to live here And Mrs. McAdoo wants to live here primarily because of the geniality of this climate. And Mr. McAdoo family was won over to give up a great law practice and important connections in the East and to come here to take up his profession in a new field. It is worth while to set down the exact words of Mr. McAdoo agent the reasons for the coming of himself and family to this section: "When I left the cabinet in very poor health after six years of work, I sought California for a rest. Mrs. McAdoo, of course, fell in love with that part of the country and I capitulated. We both like open country, beautiful scenery and horses, and when we found all three with a climate that was especially agreeable, we decided that we would make our home there. We'll get more satisfaction out of life, that's all." Getting "more satisfaction out of life" is a tremendous inducement to anyone to change place of abode. Life at longest is comparatively short. Those who would get the greatest satisfaction out of living, and yet not selfishly shirk their duties and obligations to society, must act expeditiously. For time is fleet and the swift-flying years never stop or roll backward. Many—very many—estimable, influential and useful new residents are acquired by and for this section in the same way that Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo have been impelled to move here. In comparable climate is the magnetic influence which draws them here and holds them. Wilson G. McAdoo is coming to Cali live. But his shingle will be out and the Presidential nomination will have no trouble to find him, should it come seeking him. Of the total population of the United States, 96,338,058 persons are connected with some religious organization. Of this number, 45,997,188 are officially listed as members of some church.

Store Hours: Except Sunday Special Appointment $ to 12—1 to $:30 By Request THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying AN EXAMPLE OF TAX EXEMPTION Detroit Free Press A probate court fight among the heirs of James J. Hill and Mrs. Hill has been on of late in St. Paul. The row has been over the appointment of an administrator for Mrs. Hill's estate of $12,000,000. But that is only incidental here. The significant point of public interest is that Louis W. Hill, former business advisor for Mrs. Hill, testified that beginning in 1915, he disposed of heavily taxed securities held by his principal, substituting therefore tax free holdings, and in this way increased her annual income from $385,000 to $730,000 a year; that is he doubled not returns. Here is a concrete example of the working of the tax exempt bond evil anybody can understand at a glance. In a single instance, in the case of a personal fortune which is surpassed by several in Michigan which have been similarly invested, a little shrewd readjustment with withdrawn $365,000 annually from the reach of tax gatherers. But the money thus lost to the public treasuries must be found somewhere, so the burden is shifted to business enterprise, to people who are obliged to work for their living, to the widow with a cottage instead of a palace. If the case of the estate of Mrs. Hill were an isolated one the matter would not be worth mentioning. But unfortunately it is typical of hundreds of other cases. A good many billions of dollars are tied up in tax exempt securities in this country. Figure very conservatively on the basis of what was done with the estate of Mrs. Hill by expert handling, and the extra weight of taxation placed in consequence on the shoulders of those whose property enjoys no exemptions becomes appalling. It puts on the gloves for the Lord, appeals to be the title of the sketch in which Jim Jeffries, once famous fighter, will make his first appearance as a preacher of the Gospel. It is to be hoped that Jim's preaching experience will be more successful than his last appearance as defender of the White Race. Perhaps Jim will be successful as a preacher. He should know something of the pitfalls that beset the path of man. As a saloon keeper, he no doubt set a good many. But we are skeptical. A preacher's job is one that requires, besides a large supply of devotion, inspiration and moral courage a technical equipment that is hardly to be expected in a worn out prize fighter. An evangelist—which would be Jim's line, of course—must have some histrionic talent, must be a bit of an actor as well as a good speaker. The great success of Bill Sunday does not lie in the glamour of his athletic prowess. It does not lie in the sincerity of his devotion to his work. It lies largely in his remarkable triotic talent which would have made him an actor of note if he had adopted that profession. Al Jenski, as noted a character as Billy Sunday, failed to make a strong impression as an evangelist. He was not the first novice to discover that the preacher and evangelist must have technical equipment to succeed. Jeffries will discover the same fact. runs into the hundreds of millions, possibly into the billions annually. It easily makes the difference between a situation in which the nation could handle its financial problems easily, and the present very difficult economic condition.

His Personal Rights "A cat sits on my fence every night and makes the dark hours hideous with his internal row. Now, I don't want to have any bother with my neighbor, but this nuisance has gone far enough and I want you to advise me what to do," said the client. The lawyer looked as solemn as an owl and answered not a word. "I have a right to shoot that cat, haven't it?" inquired the client. "I would hardly say that," replied the lawyer. "The cat does not belong to you, as I understand." "No; but the fence does." "Ah!" exclaimed the light of the law. "Then I think you have a perfect right to pull down the fence." What Do You Say? A sociological professor blames the judge, philanthropists and the parole system for the crime wave. The Brooklyn Eagle, however, says personally it's inclined to blame the criminals. Ardent Admirer suggests that the columnists instead of trying to define the flapper, try to refine her.

Town In Review Commercialism Necessary in Drama "Commercialism—what suits are committed in thy name!" paraphrased Frederick Warde, the eminent Shakespearean actor and distinguished star of the Mission Play in a recent address given before a body of prominent Southern California business men. Commercialism is necessary to every kind of art; to literature and most essential to the drama and it is humbly and affectionate to say that it is not. Without commercialism there could be no drama, no art, and no literature. Genius is idéalistic. The artist can create his picture but he cannot market it. He must live, and it is through commercialism that his bodily comforts are supplied and he can exist to create. So it is with the author. And the drama is even more dependant on commercialism than these. Without commercialism no play could be produced. Theatres must be built or leased, plays must be exploited, actors must be paid. I have ceased to have patience with the hypocrite who walls that commercialism kills the drama, art and literature of this country. The more commercialism takes hold of and encourages the author, the play-write and the artist, the greater is the future of literature, art and drama of America. No man ever wrote a play with higher ideals in his heart and soul than John Steven McGroarty when he wrote the Mission Play. In this beautiful historic pageant drama of California he combined the spiritual with the historic and human story of our golden state. But could it have been viewed by more than 4 million persons as it has to date, without an efficient business management? True, genius must not be robbed of its ideals through the lure of the returns of commercialism, but commercialism must support and protect genius." Village Gossip A former Anaheim man, now a resident of Nampa, Idaho, by the name of Fred L. Dautrich, brother-in-law of J. W. Kohlenberger, of Anaheim, has become, according to the Idaho Free Press a singularly efficient manufacturer of high grade stringed musical instruments. A Mr. Van C. Kirkpatrick of Caldwell bought one, valued at $250.00, and was so well pleased that he immediately ordered another of the same kind. The artist also builds, reconstructs and polishes bass violas, cellos and violas. The equipment in his shop is sufficient to take care of the most intricate problems in the way of stringed musical instrument construction and repair work. In the construction of his violins, Mr. Dautrich uses nothing but the best material obtainable. Purity of tone is the great end desired in a violin and this is obtained by Mr. Dautrich by using curly or birdseye maple for the bottom and sides of the sounding box and Tyrolian spruce, which is an imported wood, for the top. The models and the coloring of his violins are the original product of Mr. Dautrich. Almost anyone is glad to accept a two dollar bill under any circumstances if it is genuine, but the cashier in the dining room at the South-run into the hundreds of millions, possibly into the billions annually. It easily makes the difference between a situation in which the nation could handle its financial problems easily, and the present very difficult economic condition.

Almost anyone is glad to accept a two dollar bill under any circumstances if it is genuine, but the cashier in the dining room at the Southern Pacific station in Los Angeles, is positively refusing them—if they have four corners. When a bill of the denomination was presented to the young lady by an Anaheim man and his wife in payment for their dinners, a few evenings ago, the cashier shook her head and steadfastly refused it. Questioned, she admitted her superstition that a bill of that size with four perfectly good corners is sure to bring bad luck. So, being a firm believer in "safety first," the man obligingly tore off one corner, and all was again happiness in the young life of the cashier. The Anaheimer said, in relating the incident: "There are superstitions and superstitions in the many states which I have traversed, but this beats them all."

By an edict of the Emperor Augustus, Ovid was ordered banished to the town of Tomi, on the Black Sea. Various reasons have been ascribed for this banishment—among them the poet's intimacy with Julia, the clever but dissolute daughter of the emperor. Whatever the reason, Ovid was banished and the decree against him stood despite the pleading letters which he directed to the emperor and which were backed up by the intercession of his friends at Rome. The reason stated in the emperor's decree was the publication of a poem, "The Art of Love," but inasmuch as this poem had been published ten years before the edict of banishment was made effective it is not considered the real reason for the royal displeasure. Ovid's death occurred at Tomi, in the year A. D. 18.—Wayne D. McMurray. Witman, eyesight specialist. INCOME TAX Your return must be filed on or before March 15th See VICTOR D.
