Dempsey is invited to Russian, where everybody fights for a living. Hair-raising stories have given way to hair-bobbing stories. Worst thing about the movies are the people who eat onions.

In a few more weeks now we will smear it all up and say "Well, there's our inkum tax again." A Borneo explorer says he has JUSTICE IS EXPEDITED IN NEW YORK They have initiated something, in New York City, which commends itself to the whole country as worthy of being taken up generally. They are speeding the disposal of criminal cases. In cases of flagrant crime, wherein the guilt of the accused is undoubted, the criminal is taken directly before the grand jury, an indictment is returned promptly and court action is had without delay, with the prisoner soon on his way to Sing Sing. Where the accused pleads guilty, final disposition is had of the case within a few hours, instead of waiting several days, or weeks, as formerly. There is no good reason why there should be such vexing delays in bringing criminals to conviction and to prison for their crimes. It is these delays that are partially responsible for the disappointment the people feel, at times, in the workings of the American legal system. The courts themselves, and officers of the law, can and should remedy this defect—for defect it is. Promptness and certainty of conviction and punishment would strike terror to the hearts of the criminally-inclined, as nothing else would. It should be possible everywhere to institute betterments along this line—to expedite the disposal of criminal causes, to make sure that the guilty do not escape, and to make the punishment sufficiently severe to be deterring.

A Borneo explorer says he has found a race of people with tails; but this may be one of them. Some of these new drivers think a train should take to the woods when it sees them coming. Men brag about coming from a good family just as if they had something to do with it. On the tariff and bonus, Congress acts like speed put under slow-motion photography. Congress has abundance of declaation, but nothing for reclamation, at this session. Teaching the child good manners is giving it a priceless gift to carry through life. The delegates at Genoa have been engaged chiefly in picking at the bones of contention. The climatic conditions which Providence dispenses are far better than man could devise. Government is not as good as it should be unless it be conducted as economically as it could be. Woodrow Wilson's opinion of Senator Reed, in print, looks like a bunch of dashes and exclamation points. They have men in China who graft off the government. But China has no monopoly on this type of parasyte. A political campaign should be a period of quiet thoughtfulness, not a time for paroxysms of excessive emotion. The greatest battles of life are fought on the fields of moral courage. There men and women are truly tested. Attempts to corrupt the electorate should be punished severely. This is one of the gravest of offenses, essentially treasonable. Pedestrians should cross streets only at intersections. This avoids danger to the pedestrians themselves, and it is no more than fair to drivers who should have an unimpeded thoroughfare, so far as pedestrians are concerned, from intersection to intersection. WAR-CONTRACT FRAUDS IN LIMELIGHT That there were huge frauds in contracts with the United States government in connection with the World War is conceded. President Harding has transmitted to congress a report from Attorney-General Daugherty bearing upon these swindles and the measures required to prosecute them. He is asking congress for legislation to create additional federal judgships to facilitate the prosecutions, and promises to push the causes with energy. There should be no delay. Above all else, there should be no playing of politics in connection with these prosecutions. Those about whose guilt there is and can be no reasonable doubt should be haled into court and should be dealt with sternly, irrespective of their wealth or influence or station. As Attorney-General Daugherty says, these malefactors should "be made to disgorge the unholy profits of their treasonable conduct." Treason it was, to plunder the government in its hour of crisis. The felony of theft was thus compounded with traitorous actions. There should be no immunity for any of the guilty. ARIZONA JOINS IN WAR ON IGNORANCE Arizona is soon to hold its first state conference to wage war upon illiteracy within the borders of that commonwealth. The enterprising, progressive people of that state do not want Arizona's high percentage of illiteracy to stand. The ignorance largely is among Mexicans and Indians. It is proposed to devise ways and means to clear up this stigma. California, too, has its illiteracy problem and a recent conference in this state gave due attention to it. This work should engage the hearty co-operation of every intelligent man and woman, boy, and girl, in this state. This should be made the nation's white spot for general intelligence. With zealous effort and proper co-operation, illiteracy should be well banished from California by line the next federal census is taken. RECLAMATION WORK IS TO BE DEFERRED Congress will not enact any reclamation legislation at this session, is the word that come from Washington. The Smith-McNary bill, which provides for a revolving fund of $320,000,000 to be used in developing irrigation and drainage projects in the south, will go by the board, for this session. However, it probably will go through, in some form, at the regular session. While the delay will be regretted keenly in th ewest, yet the fact that the administration is favorable to Attempts to corrupt the electorate should be punished severely. This is one of the gravest offenses, essentially treasonable. Pedestrians should cross streets only at intersections. This avoids danger to the pedestrians themselves, and it is no more than fair to drivers, who should have an unimpeded thoroughfare, so far as pedestrians are concerned, from intersection to intersection. Publication of inaccurate and sensational reports as to the alleged attitude of the United States government toward Mexico and its domestic affairs are highly mischievous, and should be discountenanced and denounced. Each and every responsible newspaper and magazine should conscientiously observe the proprieties in this, and lend every possible influence toward bringing about good understanding and good will between the two countries. Something practicable should be done at this session of congress, for the advancement of shipping under the American Flag. If a subsidy measure is to be enacted the sooner it is done the better. All the great maritime powers are keen competitors for the sea-going commerce of the world. The United States must hasten if it is to hold its own in this rivalry. Should this country lose its primary in foreign shipping, it would be exceedingly difficult to regain it. RECLAMATION WORK IS TO BE DEFERRED Congress will not enact any reclamation legislation at this session, is the word that come from Washington. The Smith-McNary bill, which provides for a revolving fund of $220,-000,000 to be used in developing irrigation and drainage projects in the south, will go by the board, for this session. However, it probably will go through, in some form, at the regular session. While the delay will be regretted keenly in th ewest, yet the fact that the administration is favorable to reclamation work and that constructive legislation probably will come next winter will enhearten the friends of reclamation in this state and section. Extraordinarily heavy precipitation of rain and snow for the season in California will be of vast material benefit to the state. The ground is thoroughly saturated, and will be far into the summer, because of many foggy day late rains and snows. Ranchers and orchardists will save much on irrigation. The reserve supply of subterranean water has been augmented vastly, insuring ample for agriculture, manufacturing and mining. Fire! Fire!! The newspapers are full of reports of fires, in many parts of the country, and many of these are preventable. Should not this bear a warning and a salutary lesson? Should not there be greater care in handling fire, at all times, in all places? Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying RUSSIA'S "RED" ARMY New York Tribune While millions of Russians starve, Leon Trotzky, the war minister stuffed with proteids and vitamins, in the Red Square of the Kremlin reviews the well-fed Moscow garrison on the fourth anniversary of the Red army. He returns snappily the salutes of veteran officers who served Russia in real battles when Trotzky was a hungry pumphleteer among the comrades in Manhattan. At Trotzkoy's elbow as the soldiers pass are such notabilities as Bela Kun, who had his Red heyday in Hungary, and the precious Bill Haywood. The Kremlin towers, from which Napoleon looked down on burning Moscow, have never been the background of a military scene more fantastical. The Red army, such as it is may be reckoned the solidest achievement of Lenine and Trotzky. Industry is wrecked, the economic structure has ceased, crops are not raised; but in numbers, discipline and equipment the army has been strengthened year by year. Town in Review Wouldn't it be great if money circulated in Anaheim as fast as rumors? We've got a garden that's all weeds and a yard wide. This Chinese war's to determine who's Wu in China. FLAPPER DICTIONARY KIPPY—Like the Frog's Eyebrows—nat and nice. LALAPAZAZA—A good sport. LAMP POST—Any noticeable piece of jewelry. LENS-LOUSE—A person given to monopolizing the conversation.

New York Letter NEW YORK, May 17—Four young women and one man were given the award of Artists' Diplomas at the Institute of Music Art this past week by juries composed of leading musicians of the country. Miss J. Nora Fauchald, soprano, William Kroll, violinist, and Margaret Hamilton, Anna Blumenfeld and Dorsey Whittington, pianists, were pronounced by the juries to be not only thoroughly trained musicians, but sufficiently endowed with natural talent to justify the dedicating of their lives to concert work. The juries were composed of Joscha Helfetz, David Mannes, William J. Henderson, Frank La Forge, Joseph Lhevinne, Rubin Goldmark, and Misha Levitzki. Graduates of the Institute, of which Mr. Frank Danrosch is director, who show the necessary ability and pass the regular examinations, are allowed to take the Artists' course, covering a minimum of two years advanced work. At the completion of the course, they are submitted to a rigid examination by the faculty, who decides whether they are eligible for the tense test of the juror's confess. In the form of a public recital. After the contestant is upon the stage the repertoire chosen by the jury is handed him and the excursion of that repertoire may determining the entire future of the student's career. Spanking has been suggested by various grieved persons as a cure for "flapperites" for some months past. But it took Frank Vanore, one of our New Jersey neighbors, to put the thought into deed. Frances Vanore is seventeen, quite old enough, according to her generation, to act on her own initiative. Her initiative recently has urged her toward bobbed hair. Her parents felt quite otherwise about it. So Frances, who is decidedly the flapper type, went forth on her own and let the barber do his best, or worst. When she returned home her mother fainted dead away, but her father being a practical Of all th' true sayin's, none has improved with age-like. "Ther's no fool like an ole fool."

ACQUITTED She—"What is this dark hair doing on your coat?" He—"That is the suit I wore last year. I suppose that hair has been on it ever since you were a brunet, dearest."—Judge. ANSWERED The teacher was trying to impress upon her pupils the importance of doing right at all times, and to bring out the answer, "Bad habits," she inquired: "What is it that we find so easy to get into and so hard to get out of?" There was silence for a moment and then one little fellow answered: "Beds!"—Boston Transcript. As a slogan for home gardeners, we suggest, "Watch Us Grow."

FILM SMILES and so forth By Hi Speed SCREEN SPIRITS ADF ALWAYS FILMY It takes a clever scientist to get ahead of the movies. Sir Conan Doyle is late with his "spook pictures." For some time the screen has been showing Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien in the Selznick photographs of "Ghosts of Yesterday." Film titlers gaily settle such spanking has been suggested by various grieved persons as a cure for "flapperites" for some months past. But it took Frank Vanore, one of our New Jersey neighbors, to put the thought into deed. Frances Vanore is seventeen, quite old enough, according to her generation, to act on her own initiative. Her initiative recently has urged her toward bobbed hair. Her parents felt quite otherwise about it. So Frances, who is decidedly the flapper type, went forth on her own and let the barber do his best, or worst. When she returned home her mother fainted dead away, but her father, being a practical minded man, put her across his knee and spanked her. Frances' plains were so loud and so lusty that the neighbors thought something terrible was happening and called the police. They declared when they reached the Vanore home, that there was no law against spanking and that they could only look upon it as a family matter. Fortunately for Frances, whatever else she may have suffered, there is no way of un-bobbing one's hair and she remains bobbed, however much spanked. Have we come upon the beginning of another era of sentiment? Musical instrument dealers say we have. The suddenly revived sale of banjos and guitars prove it, they proclaim. Twice as many persons are buying and playing mandolins and guitars and other similar instruments as were doing so in their palmiest days before the war. They are sought as a relief from a telephone harassed, radio mad, phonograph ridden age, is the theory. Before 1913 there were seven lean years when it seemed that amateur musicians were a vanishing race. Now the race has revived itself with numbers and enthusiasm. Amateur clubs abound in New York and the serenade is on its way back to our lives. Twenty-seven million people is the prediction for New York City in the year 2000. There are times when we are perfectly reconciled to the idea that along about 1970, we may expect not to be here. The clever comedy, "Billeted," in which Margaret Anglin played several seasons ago has been revived with production at the Greenwich Village Theatre. It is the story of a young woman who was separated from her husband and decided to smooth the situation of having two English officers billeted with her during the war by announcing herself to be a widow. Assuming her missing husband to be dead, she sends herself a telegram confirming his demise, whereupon he walks calmly into the house as one of her official guests. The complications are amusingly handled. H. Langdon Bruce plays the role of the missing husband and Lois Bolton that of the embarrassed wife. The thirty-day jail sentence of Peter Kent, sentenced for driving an automobile while intoxicated, has And life is again a boy. Send forth the fairy now.

Carbonated and cold it reaches the spot quicker than any drink you've ever tasted. Stops thirst instantly. Grapey flavor, sparkling, effervescent. Tart—bubbly— A scientist to get ahead of the movies. Sir Conan Doyle is late with his "spook pictures." For some time the screen has been showing Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien in the Selznick photographs of "Ghosts of Yesterday." Film titlers gaily settle such grave domestic issues as "The Servant Question" and "Experimental Marriage" regardless of consequences. In logical sequence Elaine Hammerstein will present "Evidence" "Under Oath" in her next two pictures. "Ashamed of Parents" may explain "Why Girls Leave Home." "Too Much Business" is a complaint that nobody but a sub-title writer could make. The Question Is Of what seminary is Priscilla Dean? Out of what kind of brass does Elaine Hammerstein? With Owen Moore "Paid in Full" how much does Eugene Owe Brian? Will jokes on 1922 bathing suits come in more than one piece? "The Green Temptation" seems hard to resist—especially when it's "the long green" currency of the realm. "Reckless Youth" is apt to take "Reckless Chances" when "Gay and Devilish." "I Am the Law," thunders a new film. Wonder who will enforce it? Another inventor promises "talking pictures". Edison worked that out long ago and then discovered that audiences attend to talking for silent dramas. The movie bargain counter offers "Old Wives for New." Don't hurt in the crush. Oscar Wilde's "A Woman of No Importance" has been filmed. She does not even have a vote.

Floyd Scott, Farm Advisor, and the Farm Bureau of Orange-co are taking a great deal of interest in this meeting and a program of direct interest to stockmen is being planned.
