DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Oh! Promise of a loving God, Who felt his Children's need! Since I am His, I claim Him mine— And I am rich indeed—Anonymous. Keeping of promises punctuosly wins confidence and respect. The most common fiction in the parlor, when the light are low, is: "You are the only girl I ever loved!" Europe does not need an outside physician so much as it needs to apply self-healing to its political and economic ills. Keeping one's premises clean, neat and attractive is one effectual way to contribute toward making one's home city beautiful. Scoffing at things holy and sacred is no badge of manliness or womanliness. More often it betokens vulgarity and shallow mentality on the part of the person indulging in it. American soldiers went toward the Rhine with leaden messengers. They are coming away from the Rhine having golden opinions from the German people. Gallant in war and manly in peace, and American soldier wins respect and esteem everywhere. The Colorado River is the greatest potential developmental agency the Southwest has. Put under scientific control by the building of a huge dam, as projected, it will become a source of unalloyed blessing to this entire region. The number of home-owners in California is increasing rapidly. This is very gratifying. It denotes steady progress. It betokens permanency of residence on the part of newcomers and native sons and aughters who buy or build their home-nest and settle down in it. EUROPE NEEDS MORE OF GODLINESS "The trouble is that the diplomats and politicians have been leaving God out of the reckoning." There are the works of Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, eminent clergyman of London, who is holding meetings here in Paradena. Dr. Morgan advances a suggestion that perhaps offers the very best solution of Europe's grave problems. It is very true that God is being left out of the reckoning, "over there." The divinity that is worshipped is not the true God but the god Mars and the god Greed. This worship is not chargeable to the masses of Europcans, but certain leaders who misguide their people. If the statesmen of Europe were guided by the reachings of the Christ the present crisis would pass away like mint before the rising sun. Perhaps no better formula could be found for Europe today than the Sermon on the Mount. But alas! There is small hope that the Beatitudes or the Golden Rule or the sublime moral principles which the Christ counsellated will be accepted as guiding forces by the statesmen of Europe. FARM CREDIT PLANS IN CONGRESS Congress is pushing proposed legislation to extend credit facilities to farmers. Influences in behalf of expanded credits for agriculturists are so strong that definite results are expected at this session. Political considerations will enter into this situation largely. Both of the great political parties are wooing the farmer element, bidding for granger support in 1924. The so-called "farm bloom" in both houses of Congress is very strong. In truth, this group just about holds the balance of power in Congress. The American farmer, on the merits of his situation, should be given liberal assistance in financing his business. The number of home-owners in California is increasing rapidly. This is very gratifying. It denotes steady progress. It betokens permanency of residence on the part of newcomers and native sons and aughters who buy or build their home-nest and settle down in it. President Harding has named four members of the United States Supreme Court, including the chief justice. He probably will name the fifth member while he is in the presidency, thus achieving the distinction of appointing a majority of all members of that August tribunal. Not all the school boys in Ohio are destined to become president of the United States. Some of them must be reserved to become United States senators, cabinet officers, foreign ambassadors and members of the supreme court. Ohio believes in diversifying the crop of talents of her favorite sons. Seventy-five years ago gold was discovered in California. It has been three-quarters of a century of marvels in development of this state. The golden treasure has poured forth in a steady stream from California's mines and has replenished the treasury of the nation and has added strength to the money standard of all the great nations of the world. California's contribution, in this, to the welfare and progress of the world has been monumental. 15c BABY CHICKS 15c We are now booking orders for chicks from hens closely culled for high egg record and vitality—Thus insuring you strong vigorous chicks.

Santa Ana Tel. 1877 Union Pacific EDITORIAL TOWN IN REVIEW An alligator bit an El Paso man's wooden leg, much to the surprise of both the man and the alligator. Maybe This'll Be the Last The "I'm Goin'" song we've been waiting for has come along. It's entitled, "I'm Goin' to Plant Myself in My Old Plantation Home." Just—Hiccup—Across the Border, Y' Know According to a story from Calexico, a goldfish committed suicide by jumping out of his bowl and breaking his neck. We think the man who wrote it had just been over to Mexicali. Fort Worth hermit who inherited $100,000 is hunting a wife. All he has to do is stand still. Detroit woman's husband, who came home late and entered by a window, is her late husband now. Per Capita Statistics show California kids are tallest, and some of their dads are shortest. Ray Riley, state controller, warns the people there might be a state ad valorem tax, and not to expect too much of the "drastic retrenchment program." We wish we could be as sure of some other news from Sacramento as we are that Ray is right. Gov. Richardson's retrenchment program is well named. He had hardly started his program when he began to retrench. CONTEST ON REAPPORTIONMENT (Glendale News) San Francisco rather hastily challenged southern California's right to seek reapportionment in the legislature this season. In fact, it was not a challenge, but a deft, a denial, a repudiation of their representatives' sworn oath to uphold the constitution. Now these northern legislators are the principals in a drama "To Have and To Hold," which bears every evidence of a fight more engrossing than Governor Richardson's economy budget. For it has been discovered that Los Angeles holds a whip which is assuming the proportions of a big stick. That San Francisco had not thought of the initiative, through which a constitutional amendment would call for reapportionment and special election to follow the next general election, seems surprising. Perhaps the north does not appreciate the leaps and bounds made in registration in the south. It had been the hope of southern solons that the north, which is bound to lose by lack of voting strength, would offer some compromise, which would give the minority of population even more than it was entitled. Senator Boggs' generous offer, insofar as San Francisco and the cow counties were concerned, was interpreted as the south's admission of defeat. In that assumption the northern representatives held the fallacious altitude of victory easily achieved and now that the newspapers and public in southern California have awakened and demanded full representation do they see their error. Southern California stands solid PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) You can't judge an official's sincerity by the manner of men he appoints to investigate. That bayonet France has pressed against Germany's midriff is called an economic pressure. Those who fear no evil either trust in God or have new casing all around. The expression "poor fish," was invented but runners began dumping to avoid confiscation. Good intentions may pave hell, but they give darned little service on side streets up here. "It is French policy deliberately to annoy Germany," says a statesman. Doesn't he mean annex? The movie might be excused for supposing the professional pugilists' training consists in hugging somebody all the time. Almost any country is broad-minded enough to accept the findings of a commission that favors it. Europe has reached the point where she is willing to accept almost anything from America except advice. Surrendering liberties in time of war is much like bobbing hair. The hard part is to get them back. Another difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't soak you harder when you work hard and prosper. What we can't figure out is how the stork always knows which family is behind with the rent and the grocery bill. You can't get ahead in a world where this year's earnings are needed to pay the tax on last year's income. In their efforts to straighten out the world's affairs, Governments appear to have thought of every thing except dollar-a-year men. Ray Riley, state controller, warns the people there might be a state ad valorem tax, and not to expect too much of the "drastic retrenchment program." We wish we could be as sure of some other news from Sacramento as we are that Ray is right. Gov. Richardson's retrenchment program is well named. He had hardly started his program when he began to retrench. "Four Dry Agents Tried in L.A." says headline. The wet agents have the best liquor, though. Aren't conditions awful in the movies? Jackie Coogan making $1,500,000 a year and Mack Sennett's bathing girls just making a bare living. A moratorium has been denied Germany, but she still has made her marks. Just after finishing that disarmament conference at the Louisana courthouse, political sharps want to have another one at Washington. This was a quiet day. No women taken out and branded by the Hooded Hellions. Jack Dalton was up in police court yesterday, but his pal John Barleycorn is STILL buried deep. In winter we need an hour's more sleep than in summer, says the medical editor of the London Times. He figures it out this way: The two agencies that restore our exhausted bodies are sleep and sunlight. When the seasons change and we have an hour less of daylight, we need an extra hour of sleep to make up for the loss. No two bodies are exactly alike, however, and the sleep that will recuperate one may be too much or not enought for another. The wise plan is to let nature guide us. She tells us when we need sleep—makes us drowsy. When we get up in the morning "all fagged out," we are cheating nature and injuring our health.

Do not count the hours while working but use the precious moments as they accumulate. In that assumption the northern representatives held the fallacious altitude of victory easily achieved and now that the newspapers and public in southern California have awakened and demanded full representation do they see their error. Southern California stands solid for reapportionment. Southern California will represent in 1924 more than fifty per cent of the voting strength of the entire state. Los Angeles county today has approximately one-third of the actual voting electro-rate. Other sections of the state unfavorable to San Francisco's continued domination, through the bay cities' representation, will give the south more than the needed majority. The mistake the majority in the legislature are now making is that they have been blinded to these celarly foreseen conditions and results in 1925—and the greater results to be obtained six years thereafter, when a new federal census will reveal the immensity of Los Angeles' growth. Since San Francisco is not evidence of compromise and fairness, which would in turn, avail them much when they will be in the minority, they must realize that human nature runs in its regular course and they will get the same defiant reply in 1931 that they gave the south in 1921 and 1923—no more, no less. It must be remembered that Los Angeles county gets what it goes after. There are no half way measures, no defeated spirit and no desire at this late hour to compromise. The day of reckoning comes closer. The next legislature will see a full quota from the south seated in both the house and the senate, if it is a matter of initiative. And what then. Los Angeles will be able to give the cow counties their every want and thereby control the legislative body of this state. Also, southern California may be able to inflict some of its spirit of progress and prosperity on the north by the eradication of the bay district bosses who are fighting their last fight—and losing hard.

Striebel ALL THE SAME TO HIM Chicago News: As a tourist was passing through a small village he paused to watch an ancient individual breaking stones by the side of the road. "I say, my man," he asked, "how old are you?" The ancient slowly straightened his back and mumbled: "Well, sir, I don't rightly know, but I know I will be wunnerful old." Lemme see, I've worked on this job for the Farmer Jones for about 20 years, then last 57 years afore that I worked for like that you'll soon be 200 years old." The old man nodded as he muttered: "Maybe, znr, webbe, I knows I will be wunnerful old."
