HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per yr. $3; six months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Cal., as second-class matter DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS I cannot open my eyes, But Thou art ready there to catch my morning-soul and sacrifice; Then we must needs for that day make a match.—George Herbert The bonus measure makes political cravens of many members of Congress. The stage and the screen should demand decent character from its celebrities. Progressiveism seems to be throwing monkey-wrenches into reactionary political machines. The United States maintains armament solely for defense. There is no militarism in it. "The hand that rocks the cradle" is also the hand that rocks the ship of state, on occasion. The pirates were the profiteers of earlier days. Methods have been refined somewhat—that's all. There are several kind-hearted countries overseas that would eagerly relieve Uncle Sam of his surplus cash. Thanks to prevailing fashions, no man need go into matrimony blind to the anatomical faults of the bird-to-be. Progressiveism in politics has erected a guillotine and political reactionism is being fed up and its head put on the block. No Ohio man in politics is going through motions which might be Presidential BRIDAL MONTH IS FULL OF ROMANCE The month of June is perennially fragrant with romance. It is the month of brides, of orange blossoms, of sweet youth attired in white, topped with long flowing veils. All this atmosphere of romance appurienten to June takes fascinating grip upon the world. For the month of brides and of homebuilding is the month that most nearly and vitally concerns the human family. Despite all the jests that are made and all the censories disparaging words that are said of the marriage relation, marriage is a success as an institution. There are failures in marriage, as there are failures in anything and everything human. But these failures are only incidental and episodical. They are the exceptions which prove the rule that marriage, on the whole, is a sound, wholesome institution upon which the safety of civilization rests. It were well if more attention were given to the happy, successful marriages, and less to the divorce scandals, the marital infelicities and the broken homes. The newspaper press can and should assist in this. Every newspaper should emphasize that which is sacred and beautiful and blissful in the marriage relation—emphasize it as the truth warrants. And scandals and unappliances in matrimony should not be distorted and made to appear as the usual and characteristic features of the marriage relation. ACROSS NORTH POLE BY AIRSHIP That Capt. Roald Amundsen, the noted explorer, is to use airships to fly across the North Pole is the very interesting announcement that comes from the intrepid pathfinder of polar wilds. This indeed would be a Thanks to prevailing fashions, no man need go into matrimony blind to the anatomical faults of the bird-to-be. Progressiveism in politics has erected a guillotine and political reactionism is being fed up and its head put on the block. No Ohio man in politics is going through motions which might be construed as dodging of Presidential lightning. There is something in the love that a cold-blooded boy has for his dog that makes this old world a sweeter place in which to live. Peggy Hopkins Joyce says she is going to build a theatre in Los Angeles. They would better construct the whole building of asbestos. A cold-hearted cynic sometimes rises up to deny that there is a Santa Claus. Just as reasonable as to deny that there are love-germs in moonbeams. Let's all collaborate in this good work of banishing ignorance from California. It would be a great achievement to wipe out illiteracy altogether by 1930. It can be done. He has not said so, but there is reason to believe that Warren G. Harding does not think so highly of Congress now as he did when he was a member of it. National solidarity in this country never has been so pronounced as it has been since the fateful days of 1917 and 1918. The last vestige of bitter sectionalism has been wiped out. ACROSS NORTH POLE BY AIRSHIP That Capt. Roald Amundsen, the noted explorer, is to use airships to fly across the North Pole is the very interesting announcement that comes from the interpid pathfinder of polar wilds. This indeed would be a thrilling achievement. It would be a fitting development of aeronautics as applied to explorational research. One can imagine what thrills would come to the discoverer of the South Pole in being able to floatisure across the northern extremity of the earth's axis. What visions would be his! Should the air be clear, the naked eye could survey an expanse that would be an empire, were it habitable—an empire of bleak wilderness. With the aid of glasses, should it be possible to make this flight, the whole nature of the polar terrain could be sketched with an accuracy impossible from the level of the ice. As civilization advances, as society alimbs the steps of progress, as intelligence and enlightenment become more general, individual responsibility becomes broader and more insistent. The weight of responsibility too, becomes heavier upon each and every man and woman in organized society. Each person is today his or her "brother's keeper" in a particularly intimate and inclusive signification of this phrase. ONLY in a grand and glorious Republic like ours could a leatherneck rise to the position of Secretary of the Navy. DANZ PIANO CO. "THINK OF MUSIC."

OUR IDEA OF NERVE: "Lending money is a fine way to improve your memory," says Li'l Koo Koo, the office scamp. SURPRISED HIMSELF "I've asked you here to dinner for the last time, my boy, for I'm sorry to tell you I've lost all my money!" Son-in-law: "Great Scott! Then I married for love., after all!" A surplus of ex-wives and former husbands is reported. Li'l Dodo, the office cramp, says: About the only time a man has the last word is when he says "Here is the money, then." Attorney General Daugherty has asked former Judge Landis to take part in the war graft prosecutions. Probably wants to get some dignity into the thing.

EXPLOSIVES Terrific explosions lurk in the dust of coal, cork, aluminum, cotton-seed, rubber, sawdust, sugar, starch and spices. Some day the stupendous power locked up in the tiny atoms will be released and utilized by man. Search for this atomic power utilization is keeping scientists working overtime. For years it has been one of Sir-Oliver Lodge's main goals. For all we know, gasoline, coal and electricity may become obsolete and their place taken by a small New York Letter by Linda Jensen Priore NEW YORK, June 14. Something has to be added to restaurants to give a dash of excitement. Ticker tape is the latest jure to patronage. The old reliable thrill of the stock market still holds, the proprietors aver, and so they are offering their diners that thrill with every meal. Even some of the tea cake type of places pave introduced the ticker rfor the benefit of the women who patronize them. The radio failed to draw as they hoped it would, they testify, because evidently people prefer to do their own talking. Nikita Balieff opened his new Chauve Souris at the Century Root, and if possible, it is more enjoyable than ever. A regular army of Chauve Sourisians has grown up in New York, who would follow the rotund Russian and his company anywhere, but fortunately he has made it pleasant for them by taking them to delightful surroundings. The Century has been made into an intimate playhouse, imbued with the Russian atmosphere through the work of N. Remisoff, the artist who has done the decorations. The "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" which always invoked tremendous applause, has been kept on the bill, but the other acts are new. Like the first program, this new one is marked with comedy, tragedy, stirring music, and colorful striking pictures. It is difficult to put into words what it is that makes Chauve Souris so fascinating. It is done with the perfection of art, for one thing, but I believe the amazing vitality of everyone and everything on the bill is the quality which grips you above everything else. The largest wedding of the year in New York City! Now, whose would you think that would be? None other than of Josephine Corrao and Salvatore Francaviglio. Whoare they?

OHAMPION SPELLER OF UNITED STATES MISSES ONLY A WORD The champion speller among school boys and girls of the United States is Madeline Barnes, 16, Colfax, W. Va. At least, the educational authorities of her state claim that the title for her. In a district spelling contest recently she missed only one out of 300 words. Later in a county spelling match she missed only four out of 400 words. Here are some of the words missed by others but spelled correctly by Miss Barnes in the district contest: Allegiance, disastrous, calipers, apologize, moceasin, (snake), exuded, tureen, perspiration, coupe, omphus, conveyed, consensus, venomous, galvanizing, corroding, occurrence, Today timber and its bi-products are the chief source of Norwegian income. And a land which would otherwise be a barren waste, is in the front rank of the beautiful and picturesque. Norway has her cake while she eats of the same constantly. After 400 years of criminal waste and idiotic refusal to study economic history America, too, is waking up to the vital need of a great national forest polley. In ten years, 2,000,000 acres of forest lands have been purchased by the United States and 1,700,000 acres have been acquired and put under administration as national forests in the Eastern states alone. Under the scientific policy of Gifford Pinchot, Pennsylvania has taken front rank in this splendid work. Out in New Mexico, where Secretary of the Interior Allert Fall lives, Cocino county on the border of the Grand Canyon, is trying to secure permission to destroy several thousand acres of wonderful pine and fir. For which the county would receive $70,000 cash! Not seventy million, but seventy thousand! You said it. Up in Alaska this same dan Fall favors leasing out the vast forests, now owned by the government, to private interests for destruction. Living under the torrential sun of New Mexico, one would think Fall would appreciate a tree. But Fall belongs to that class of citizens whose motto is: "Git while you're a gittin'". One way to get even with an enemy is to forget him. The cost of living depends a good deal on how much experience you've had. The reason a lot of people don't go into debt is because no one will trust them.

Center St., Fisher Building, Anaheim CALIFORNIA Wednesday, June 14, 1922 Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying COURAGE OVER DEATH — Sioux City Tribune "Men," observed Lord Bacon, "fear death as children fear to go in the dark." A shrewd observation, for when most men think upon the probability of death they break out in a mental sweat. Death is the finis of this earthly existence. It ends all hope. It is the only certain thing in life. "In the midst of life we are in death." There are remedies for all things but death, as Carlyle observed. And yet when man comes face to face with the mysterious stranger seldom does he flinch. He does not cry out with his falling breath, like the great Queen Elizabeth, "All my possessions for a moment of time!" He meets death like a man. There is inspiration in the story of the tragedy of the ill-fated seaplane Miss Miami, which came down in the Gulf Stream with its five passengers and pilot. None of the passengers escaped. Of the six persons on board, three were men and three women. Each of the five victims met death with a smile. Drifting in the heavy sea, their bodies were blistered by the relentless sun. The glare from the salt water had well nigh blinded them. No food; no drinking water. Lips so badly swollen, when rescued, that he could not open them, the pilot later told this story. One by one, exhausted, the fingers of the passengers loosened their hold on the overturned seaplane and they slipped into the sea. None whimpered, neither nor at any time in the two days of horror. Let the pilot, Robert Moore, tell of the last day: "Thursday, as dusk approached, Smith grew delirious. At times he appeared rational and asked me what chance I thought he had of being rescued. He said, I don't see how I can hold out much longer. Don't you think I had a brave wife?" I assured him that I had never seen a more courageous woman. 'All right, Bob,' he answered. 'Promise that if you return you will tell her sons how brave their mother was. Tell them the facts and tell them the truth about me. You will know as no other how I died. Tell them for me, boy.'" Then one knows that man is something more than the product of chemical formula—so much salt, so much water, so much nitrogen, so much sulphur in proper proportion; for the Creator when He breathed into the nostrils of this earthen jug planted in it a spirit that makes him in the supreme test Godly. GOD GIVES US LOVE God gives us love. Something to love He gives us; but when love is grown To ripeness, that on which it throves Falls off, and love is left alone. Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace! Sleep, holy spirit; blessed soul. While the stars burn, the moons increase, And the great ages onward roll. Sleep till the end, true soul and sweet! Nothing comes to thee new or strange. Sleep full of rest from head to feet; Life still, dry dust, secure of change. IGNITION? Now is the time to have this work done.
