News of Fullerton FULLERTON MAKES USE OF LIBRARY The annual report of the Fullerton library is to be made to city trustees tomorrow night by Miss Minnie Maxwell, librarian, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922. Miss Maxwell states in her report that more than half the population of Fullerton is making use of the public library and that there has been an average of 12 volumes taken out for each inhabitant of the city. More than one-fourth of the books used, it is stated, come from the children's department. There has been a 22 percent increase in the use of reference books and 14,550 non-fiction books have been used during the year. As an argument for the necessity of a new library building, might be used Miss Maxwell's statement that the library has 3000 more books than it can properly sheave. The report on receipts and expenditures, and circulation for the year, follows: Receipts Balance on hand June 1, 1921 ... $ 3,805.84 Recd. from city ... $ 7,000.00 Recd. from fines ... $ 668.56 Recd. from lost books, etc ... $ 108.23 Total Receipts ... $11,582.63 Expenditures Books ... $ 2,186.07 Periodicals ... $ 268.05 Binding ... $ 362.28 Supplies, stationery and printing ... $ 165.14 Heat and lights ... $ 252.15 Telephone ... $ 48.45 Furniture and repairs ... $ 289.24 Miscellaneous expenses ... $ 385.01 Salaries—Librarian, first assistant, second assistant, janitor, extra temporary service ... $ 8,284.19 Total Expenditures ... $ 3,298.44 SIX DEPUTIES TO GUARD S.

California voters will soon be called on to decide the type of man and citizen they want to represent them in the United States Senate. Charles C. Moore is a successful business man. Hiram Johnson is a lawyer-politician. Moore, particularly where California agriculture interests is concerned, is a practical worker. He knows whereof he speaks—by actual contact with his subject—of olive and citrus fruit growing, of stock raising, and of water and power conservation and development. Johnson in private life is a lawyer. His information on questions so vital to California is necessarily "second hand." He has not the technical knowledge necessary to distinguish in his mass of information when it is "inspired" by private, selfish interests, or where it is actually a representation of facts and conditions as they exist. Moore works capably, quietly and sincerely. He is not immune to criticism, nor disregardful of praise, but they are only minor tendencies that exist in almost every human being. His primary consideration is to accomplish. Johnson performs with a blare of trumpets. He loves adulation. The value of his efforts in their relation to newspaper space are carefully considered ahead of the interests of his state and nation. He craves the "spotlight." Moore has no "entangling alliances," no henchmen to reward with public spoils and offices, regardless of their merits or qualifications. Johnson has built up a "machine," and the public must pay for its maintenance with the patronage at his disposal. Moore has not sought the office—the office has sought the man. BABY WITH BULLET IN, BRAIN WANTS TO PLAY Little Virginia Brown, 2 years old, of Bay Shore, Long Island, was playing in her yard on July Fourth. Her mother, hearing her scream, ran out to find the blood streaming from the baby's head. Doctors discovered that a small bullet was lodged in the middle of her brain. The marvelous part of the accident is that the baby girl is perfectly conscious, smiling and happy in the Long Island Hospital. WEST COAST LEASE In youth we jazz; after 50 we tolerate dancing; in old age we go Moore has no "entangling alliances," no henchmen to reward with public spoils and offices, regardless of their merits or qualifications. Johnson has built up a "machine," and the public must pay for its maintenance with the patronage at his disposal. Moore has not sought the office—the office has sought the man. Johnson has fitted his every move to a continuance of his personal power and prestige. Moore or Johnson! Which will the voters, the citizens of California choose as their Senator—the capable business man or the egotistic politician? NEW SANITARIUM PATIENTS WASHINGTON, July 14.—The United States shipping board has received a check for $12,000,000, in settlement of all claims arising out of transport service during the war, from Great Britain. OUR HIGHBROW ARMY "IN CITIES like New York, Brooklyn and Chicago, the average per capita withdrawal of books from the public libraries per year varies from three to six books. In the army it goes up as high as 36 books, and the average is 18." Good for the army! Col. Robert G. Davis, above quoted, does not say what kind of books the soldiers draw from the libraries, but the fact remains they are taking to literature. From educators we hear that the army schools are models of practical educational efficiency. More than that, the boys in the army are making students above the average. That is good news, too. The old-styled type of hard-boiled, swearing, illiterate army man is giving way to a new type—youths who can read, write and learn. PRIMARY LAWS CAPABLE OF MUCH GOOD Primary election laws, in all states are not perfect—in some cases, they do not even approximate perfection: But defects in the primary here and there hardly should be made the pretext for attempting to destroy the whole system. The fairer, more reasonable way would be to undertake to reform the primary laws wherever and whenever there is patent need of betterment. The primary system, despite its defects—and its most ardent proponents admit that it has some weaknesses—is the nearest approach to real democracy—to real voicing of the will of the people in making nominations—that has yet been attained. Friends of the primaries, instead of becoming disgusted and despairing because of unsatisfactory features which may exist in the primary laws in this and other states, would better devote themselves to reform of the system, rather than to overturning the primary method altogether. WEST COAST LEASE In youth we jazz; after 50 we tolerate dancing; in old age we condemn both. Whether one boob dies or not makes little difference, there being so many left, and more coming along all the time. The memory of a love affair lingers long, but the memory of a hospital operation supplies a topic that lasts to the end. What we think we know, but don't causes a lot of trouble. The farther away we get from Nature, the more "civilized" we become. A good appetite, good teeth and a good job—who can name three better things? As a rule, a few visits to the doctor will do your health more good than a lot of visits. Fool around with Fashion if you want to, but don't be so foolish as to marry into it. Prosperity no longer is a vague promise to the country, but is fulfillment. There are dark spots, here and there, but the country on the whole is thriving.
