DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Adieu, the city's ceaseless hum, The haunts of sensual life adieu! Green fields, and silent glens, we come To spend this bright spring day with you! —J. Aidrich. Life with Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle is just one trial after another. Vote next Tuesday to keep Pasadena abreast the most enterprising of coast cities. This is an age of speed. People move in terms of miles per minute, instead of miles per hour. Uncle Sam is the world's leading creditor. But he is not advertising to give unlimited credit to any and all who may ask. Life on criminal-court juries in California seems to be quite disagreeable. The jurors, at any rate, do a great deal of disagreeing. They are binding people in their homes and robbing them at leisure in New York in broad daylight. Nothing like being enterprising. The proposed public betterments, to be voted upon next Tuesday, will be well distributed over the city. Every section has its needs cared for well. Listening in on the radio is another time-consuming fad. How can folks find time for all the fascinating things that are available for their entertainment. A savant claims to have found a process for photographing sound. The photograph of a fighting cat's yowl at 3 a.m. would be as big as a masto- TAMPERING WITH JURY, GRAVE OFFENSE There admittedly has been interference with the normal legal process in the selection of a jury to try Arthur Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, Los Angeles broker. The tampering was or such a nature as to vitiate legally the entire jury panel, in the opinion of Judge Keeve. Consequently, all prospective jurors were dismissed and the work of selecting a jury must be done all over again. Furthermore, an investigation is to be made of this improper approaching of tentative jurors. These things bring the process of the courts under suspicion. They should not be. There is no excuse for them. They not only cause distrust, among people, of the methods of administering criminal laws, but they entail heavy and useless additional expenses upon taxpayers. This county heaven knows, should have no greater tax burdens than it already has. USING NEWSPAPER ADS MORE THAN EVER The daily newspaper is the greatest, most profitable advertising medium. The shrewdest business men in America and in the world recognize this fact, and are governed accordingly, in placing their advertising. That national advertising campaigns in newspapers are sweeping the country, is the assertion of F. Guy Davis, Western manager of the Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association. Mr. Davis says that business houses which never before used any extensive newspaper space are doubling and tripling their newspaper appropriations for this year. This has not come from propaganda, but from the necessities of the situation today. Quoting Mr. Davis: "There was one firm in 1920 that Anaheim's whetherman know whethe It didn't." "We can hear like thunder Like thunder." You Can't Lie No more wry in The Enterprise report of the In. In our reel Matt Thomas anything was not married.

A savant claims to have found a process for photographing sound. The photograph of a fighting cat's yowl at 3 a.m. would be as big as a masto-don. Ignorance in this country today is utterly inexcusable. Why, the means of intelligence fill the very air. It seems almost impossible that anybody should escape being imbued with knowledge. Teach the child in early youth not to molest that which does not belong to it, and to respect the rights and comforts of others, and that child is well fortified against bad influences in later life. The person who is not wide awake and moving, here in California, soon falls behind the procession. This state is going forward substantially and steadily. Keep step with the march of progress! Serious, indeed, is the charge that the jury panel in the case of Arthur Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, Los Angeles broker, has been tampered with. The situation looked so ugly that Judge Reeve dismissed the whole panel and a searching investigation will be made of the alleged tampering with persons who had been accepted on the jury roll. This is a startling menace to the course of justice. Prospective jurors should be free from all interference from outside sources and all attempts by any person whatsoever, to influence the verdict in the case on which the jurors are drawn. Any one found guilty of trying improperly to communicate with or influence members of a jury panel, should be dealt with sternly. That national advertising campaigns in newspapers are sweeping the country, is the assertion of F. Guy Davis, Western manager of the Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association. Mr. Davis says that business houses which never before used any extensive newspaper space are doubling and tripling their newspaper appropriations for this year. This has not come from propaganda, but from the necessities of the situation today. Quoting Mr. Davis: "There was one firm in 1920 that started to use newspaper space for national advertising for the first time. Last year this firm, using space in forty American newspapers, was enabled to declare a 7 per cent dividend, and this year it is planning to advertise in 200 American cities. A magazine increased its circulation form 450,000 to 1,500,-000 through its national newspaper advertising." This is of general interest, as showing the general recognition of the potency, effectiveness and profitability of advertising in daily newspapers, whether the advertising be what is known as "national," or whether it be local, or the two combined. In the morning, before starting out, pray to be saved from a traffic tragedy. Then go out and do your level best, through carefulness, to prevent a traffic tragedy. Answer your own prayer for safety. One speeder knocks a man unconscious on the streets of Los Angeles and other speeders rush over the body heedlessly as he is dying. And yet this country sends missionaries to foreign lands to convert the heathen! Henry Ford doubtless would get more and better results out of that Muscle Shoals project than anybody who has bit on it. But it is to be doubted whether the doughty Detroit can win against the corporation and political interests that are opposing his bid. City Election April 10th, 1922 Godfrey J.

It didn't. "We can hear the footsteps of a fly like thunder," say scientists, Yeah; Like thunder! You Can't Fool An Editor All the Time No more weddings will be reported in The Enterprise unless an authenticate report of the same is brought or sent in. In our report of the marriage of Matt Thomas and Lorene Hurley everything was correct only they were not married. We got our reports from a reliable source, we thought, but have learned since that it was Lyle Chambers of Tarkio and Mable Hurley, a sister of Miss Lorene Hurley, who were married. We tried to sustain our reputation for truth about getting married, but were unable to see them, hence this apology.—Westbrook (Ia.) Enterprise. We got our credit for winning the war—and Europe got our cash. Ex-kaiser will not marry the rich widow. Reports that he is crazy may be true after all. Again they say Dempsey will marry. At last! At last, he has found some one to fight him. Mathilde McCormick, planning to marry a Swiss stable keeper, could do worse. She might marry a Swiss yodler. LEARN A WORD A DAY Today's word is PURLIEU. It's pronounced—purr-loo with accent on the first syllable. It means—outskirts, environs, margin, edge. It comes from—French "poralee," a survey of boundaries. It's used like this—"Many four-flushers and upstarts move in the purlieus of high society," that is about the edges of society. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying UNIMPORTANCE OF NAMES New York Evening Post Far from adding to the world's supply of nomenclature by permitting the married woman to retain her maiden name, it is a question whether society would not profit by reducing the use of individual names to a minimum, for married men as well as women. In practice this is already being done on a very large scale. Most of us find it feasible to be entertained and entertaining at dinner when seated next to someone who has been introduced to us as Mrs. Smissum and to whom we have been introduced as Mr. Blawah. In business a person is Bill or Joe or Ella to one's associates and acquaintances, and something quite illegible to one's correspondents except in the left-hand corner, where a writer identifies himself as BHW—FH. That is to say, in the normal affairs of business and in the field of social intercourse it is sufficient equipment to be known as Bill oh to be individualized as the man who has a queer way of swallowing the concluding part of his remarks. About the only occasions when a man's or a woman's full name is deemed interesting or essential are on income tax blanks, insurance policies and other legal documents. The collector of internal revenue insists on your printing out the name. The insurance solicitor asks you to spell your name carefully and so indorses it on the face of the policy, but in all subsequent premium notices the name is usually misspelled. But even to the collector of internal revenue and the pre-curiosity—and name your own price! If the doughboys in France Had postponed Fighting Like Congress is Postponing the Bonus—"Hoch, der Kaiser!" HERE'S A GOOD WORD TO LEARN LEARN A WORD A DAY Today's word is PURLIEU.

Household Hint A water-proof doughnut will remain fresh for at least a month. Alonzo A. Stagg, University of Chicago athlete director, says he turned down an offer of $1000 to become a professional when he was attending Yale, and living on $1.16. Yes, Lonzo, but think what a lot of money $1.16 was in those days. A few years ago a New York clubman bet $5000, even money, that he could gather a crowd of 2000 in and around Times Square in 10 minutes. All he did was walk out into the middle of the street, stop with an exclamation of surprise, and begin starring at the sky. Nearby Rubber Necks also paused and looked upward, curious to learn what aroused interest. The curiosity contagion spread, Police reserves had to be called out. The clubman won. At its best, life is dull. Curiosity is the search for something new and interesting. Find the interesting thing—satisfy Says JohnP. Medbury Several business firms have installed phonographs in their offices. They figure that with music the stenographers will do more or less work. But a lot of stenographers don't do more and couldn't do less. Girls used to hunt for positions where the hours were short. Now they'll look for jobs where the music is good. The firm may pay big wages, but the stenographers won't stay if the boss isn't a good dancer. Whenever the manager rings she won't know whether he wants to dictate or two step. He'll ask her to take a letter and she'll tell him she'd rather sit this one out. Can you imagine a stenographer writing a letter while three or four phonographs are going. She'll start out, "Mr. Smith. Dear Sir, hour letter received I'm a Jazz Baby and I reply would state that I Ain't Nobody's Darling that the carload of Tuck Me and so indores it on the face of the policy, but in all subsequent premium notices the name is usually misspelled.

Dear Sir, hour letter received I'm a Jazz Baby and I reply would state that I Ain't Nobody's Darling that the carload of Tuck Me to Sleep—" The guy who received the letter wouldn't know whether he had ordered lumber or music. The manager would call the chief clerk and the chief clerk would say he'd be there as soon as he finished his waltz. The cashier would be in with the president and in the middle of the conference he'd hear the phonograph start playing "Home Again Blues" and say "Pardon me, but I have this dance with your secretary." Employees wouldn't care about working in places where they had the newest appliances, they'd want to work where they had the latest records. No stenographer wants to listen to the boss on the dictaphone when she can hear an opera star on the phonegraph. Music will take away the effects of work and the clerks and stenographers will start going to the office by invitation only. It won't be long before they start wearing their evening gowns. J. E. SCHUMACHER CO. Opp. S. P. Depot W. Anaheim Phone 794 HAY AND GRAIN From Farmer to Consumer 8 Investments Becoming Rare A year ago 8 per cent securities were freely offered. During recent months, however, the interest rates have dropped appreciably and today guaranteed 8 per cent securities are rare. The golden opportunity for conservative investors is rapidly passing. As interest rates decline, the only stocks and bonds which you can be sure will continue to pay the former high rates are those whose dividend rates are guaranteed—the others will naturally seek the normal level.
