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 EUROPE IS NOT IN HASTE TO ARRANGE DEBTS The government at Washington is said to be somewhat exercised over the tardiness of European governments in sending commissions to Washington to consider refunding of war loans. The American government sent forward the invitation several weeks ago and the invitation was acknowledged by the principal governments and promises was given to send commission, as requested. But no commission has come, as yet. There is no reason to doubt the attitude the powers concerned will take. They will send their commissioners, ultimately, and doubtless satisfactory arrangements will be made. It would be well, however, if their course were marked by a little more haste. It would make this country feel more at ease and more reassured if all the powers indebted to the United States would come forward promptly, acknowledge their indebtedness and join in conferring as to the best means of refunding these huge obligations. The Congressional campaign, in its preliminaries, will be conducted from Washington, during the summer. Yes, it will be very warm. Anything is warm in Washington in summer—even an icecest seems less frigid than in some other localities. The Pacific West is heard and headed by official Washington because of this section's growing political importance. Time was when the Pacific Coast, asking any favors at Washington, was laughed to scorn. But as population increased and as representation of this section in Congress became greater, the degree of respect and consideration shown this section was enhanced correspondingly. NEWS THAT IS NEWS, AND "NEWS" NOT NEWS What is news? This is a serious question in every responsible newspaper office in the land. Jesting Pilate asked the Christ: "What is truth?" But those who are charged with the task of making newspapers do not ask jestingly: "What is news?" They ask it in all seriousness. They rack their brains over it. They must declare, day after day, just what is real news and what is spurious, or objectionable. And they must decide, too, relative values in news items—is this more important than that, and if so, why? The clean, conscientious newspaper bars a certain type of "news" without even pondering over it—that is, salacious, filthy, moral-sewage "news." Then there is a wide diversity of news—so-called—which, in a great many instances, is not legitimate news, but rumors or insinuations of half-truths which, if published, would injure someone, or perhaps would injure several persons—might even ruin somebody. The conscientious publisher or editor does not seek this kind of news, and does not use it unless the good to be accomplished by its publication would offset the hurt its publication might give. Then there is the question of the value of news. This is a busy age. Newspapers are read by multitudes who have no time to waste—who must read hurriedly. They want the meat of the news, so to speak. They do not want a great mess of inconsequentials. They do not want columns of scandal or other columns about the engagement of an American helpline to a Swiss riding-master and what her family thinks of it; or yet other columns about a glandular operation on a captain of industry. It must be admitted, and the makers... The Pacific West is heard and headed by official Washington because of this section's growing political importance. Time was when the Pacific Coast, asking any favors at Washington, was laughed to scorn. But as population increased and representation of this section in Congress became greater, the degree of respect and consideration shown this section was enhanced correspondingly. This state and section are heard and heeded when they ask that which is reasonable at Washington. Those who visit the mountains, canyons and woodlands of this state should have regard to the preservation of wild-flower and plant life. Pulling flowers and plants up by the roots, or breaking them off before their seeding time, means extermination of whole species, in time. The California poppy has been killed out in many places by ruthless sightseers who break, off the beautiful stems when they are in their glory. Why not leave the gorgeous array of blooms and plants, to adorn the hills and vales and woodlands? Then there is the question of the value of news. This is a busy age. Newspapers are read by multitudes who have no time to waste—who must read hurriedly. They want the meat of the news, so to speak. They do not want a great mess of inconsequentials. They do not want columns of scandal or other columns about the engagement of an American helms to a Swiss riding-master and what her family thinks of it; or yet other columns about a glandular operation on a captain of industry. It must be admitted—and the makers of newspapers take cognizance of the fact—that there is a type of news known to newspaper offices as "human-interest" which is used, to some extent, in the best newspapers. How much of this to use is a perennial question in every newspaper office. But the best type of papers use it sparingly and take pains to use only that which is wholesome and unobjectionable. The remedy for Europe's economic illness may not be found at The Hague. But the western powers will doubtless persist until some practicable healing agency is found. The great problem is Russia. And Russia is as much of a problem to itself as it is to the rest of Europe. The very latest of the Chevrolet lines of Automobiles and Trucks.

When you go to the beach for a picnic lunch, you dislike to sit down in some three-day-old sandwiches and a lot of waste paper. Just remember this when you depart. Clean up the remnants of your lunch, burn the papers and scrapes. If everyone would do this, our beaches would be 100 per cent more enjoyable to everyone. Resorts should always keep waste receptacles on the beach for just this purpose. But do your yart, anyway, clean-up! New York Letter by Larry Johnson Price NEW YORK, June 23. While others are grumbling about the high cost of living we have discovered a property owner and landlord who lives close to New York, who has been able to get along comfortably on $1 a month. Being a landlord this is not difficult to understand. But here is a landlord who has not spent money on living consistent with his rumored income. He is thirty-five years old; he has been living the life of a hermit in a shed back of his two-family house for several years. The shed was formerly part of the stable, but has been furnished in the simplest manner for living quarters. In answer to a recent suit against him in a real estate transaction, when asked to show some papers, in court, the recluse unpinned three big safety pins that held his coat together, removed six pins from an inside pocket and disclosed his private "bank." wound with string that was reintored with seven rubber bands. While he had an income of more than -120 a month he explained that he lived in his shed, because he "can't afford a house. Others are wasting their money by trying to keep up appearances, while the most I spend for my living is $1 a month." Perhaps this is the way people become landlords. According to Will Rogers, now and then of photoplay and adding fame, movie magnates no longer spend their profits recklessly. Recent disclosures of the habits of these monied folk have given broad grounds for conjecture on their extravagance. Lighting cigars with greenbacks was once a quaint method of impressing by-standers but prevailed in the pre-Volstead period. Tossing away money was never regarded in really con- Mary Pickford's divorce case re-opened in Nevada. Los Angeles district attorney threatens to reopen the Valentino case. Suppose that such vigorous action were taken against the big law-breakers, who combine to boost the price of necessities, or who conduct palatial hotels in conflict with the redlight abatement act. How busy the prosecutors would be! IV Edna Wallace Hopper, 50, a flapper and proud of it, should be. She is healthy, happy and good looking at that age. Any woman, or man, either, at the half-century mark who possesses those three attributes, can go by any name they please and still be a credit to humanity.

MA PAUL Saturday, June 24, 1922 servative financial circles as the best method of getting more money. It would be rather pleasant in some ways if it held true that the more money one spent the more one got, but it doesn't. This holds true even in the motion picture business. Now most moving picture folk, having just passed through the cold gray morning after the unbridled profits which they have undergone, have settled down to business and business does not mean that art is being neglected. According to Will Rogers, only when artists get down to business does real art result. "All the old time foolishness—waste of money and waste of time included—is over. It is a man size, bed-rock enterprise now. Everybody has the spirit of taking off their coat and giving the best there is in him—of earning his salary. The actresses and actors do their work and conduct themselves just as men and women in other business everywhere. There is no different standard of decorum or conduct." And when Will Rogers says things somehow you believe he means them. LOVE Yes, love will often have its pain; The roses bloom because of rain And wintry snows the grasses keep Love is not love that cannot weep. Dear heart, whatever hurt we had In other days, let love be glad For now we walk a better mile Love is not love that cannot smile. ADD CLASS TO YOUR CAR Dainty Monograms and Initials.
