THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER an Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS I traveled along a broad highway, where was so much dust and tumult that my soul became weary. Then my Heavenly Friend sought me in the throng, led me forth by secret ways, and brought me into a green meadow, and by still waters. Ah! how well was it with me there! I have experienced the blessing which the soul enjoys when it quietly rests in God.—Tholuck. Uncle Sam continues to be 100 per percent prudent concerning foreign entanglements. President Harding has regained his golf smile. His is a temperament that quickly throws off the care of office. They are preparing for five different wars in Europe. What they should prepare for is one blanket peace that would cover Europe permanently. The Sixty-eighth Congress has a long time in which to think it over before plunging into its work. It is to be hoped that it will be constructive. Interests of the consumer should be protected. Against extortion from any source, they who buy necessaries for consumption should be safeguarded by rigorous laws, fearlessly enforced. Californians are observing Arbor Day with more scrapulous cars than formerly. Planting of trees was general through out the state. Interest should be stimulated, each year, in this vitally important work. With so much inexcusable militarism in the Old World, it is pertinent to question just how far removed from savagery the human race is. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT The community, unity spirit, throughout So. Calif., binding all its interests, city and country, into one harmonious, progressive whole, is carrying this section along in development more rapidly than other parts of the country. Charles F. Stern, prominent Los Angeles banker, in a recent address, dwell upon this teamwork of interests in this Southland. There is here recognition of mutual obligations of city and country. There is also realization of the fact that this section is economically independent—that agriculture and manufacturing are more valuable in this section and to this section, than tourists very welcome though these desirable visitors are. First in economic values and importance in this Southland is agriculture; second, in industrial expansion; third, tourists. Development of soil resources of Los Angeles county and other counties of this section during the last fifteen years has been remarkable, while the expansion of industry has been phenomenal. This unified growth is reflected in the volume of building construction, which is the marvel of the whole country. IMPORTS CROW TO HUGE VOLUME IN 1923 Volume of foreign trade of the United States during the closing closing months of 1522 indicate a measure of economic recovery abroad which is surprising, in view of the general accepted notion that Europe is prostrate, economically. America's imports for October reached the imposing total of $319,-000,000, the greatest monthly total since November of the banner year, 1920. This denotes general improved conditions of trade and industry both at home and abroad. Inasmuch as each month at the latter part of the year showed decided gains, the presumption is that the gains will continue this year and that 1923 will Californians are observing Arbor Day with more scrupulous cars than formerly. Planting of trees was general throughout the state. Interest should be stimulated each year, in this vitally important work. With so much inexcusable militarism in the Old World, it is pertinent to question just how far removed from savagery the human race is. The will to war without cause is savage, however it may be glazed over. Of all portions of the world, Europe should be the last to contemplate the starting of wars. In hundreds of years it will not recover from the scars of the World War. To compound its woes would be sheer madness. Protection of trees, as well as planting, is highly important. Against greed, against carelessness and against fire, forests should be guarded. Public sentiment should support the efforts of authorities to safeguard the forests. Good roads are of incalculable material benefit to California. In constructing highways, the lessons of experience should be heeded. Future construction should be for endurance, quality, rather than number of miles, should be the desideratum in highway building.

For example; Nicholas Hakim, of Brooklyn, sued Olga Orfaly, his ex-fiance, the other day for $2,973 for the value of gifts he alleged he gave her during their engagement. Miss Orfaly charged that it was he who broke the engagement and retaliated by suing him for breach of promise. After both suite were in court and the future looked complicated, the couple decided to be married after all instead of bothering with so many lawsuits and so announced to the court today. Paragraphs (By Robert Quillen) The balance of power is a bank balance. The early bird gets his reward. But the early worm becomes the late worm. Adam had his faults, but you can say one thing for him. He was an original cuss. Another way to get thin to music is to try playing an accordian for living. Hard times are just little intervals of timidity between periods of normal growth. TOWN IN REVIEW What has become of the old-fashioned peppy campaign? They don't even close the bars on election days now. Spring trousers are so loose you can get them on over your shoes. Sugar is not short, but the sugar crooks are. The world do move. A new crane of June bridegrooms will soon learn to wipe dishes. WOMEN Among those who paid income tax in 1920, Uncle Sam reports, was 712,000 women. Their combined come for the year was nearly 22 million dollars. How that would have amazed people of 30 or even 20 years ago when women were just beginning to drift into business instead of clining exclusively to the home. WE FIND NOTHING HERE ABOUT EASTER HATS Philip J. Weber of Oaklawn was on the public square Monday for the first time in a week. When interviewed by a Spirit reporter, he said that he "got the gripe or the grippe got him." At any rate he either wrote or clipped the following rather poetical item for this good old family paper, and it's good. "Some go to church to weep, while others go to sleep. Some go to eat their woes, others go to show the clothes. Some go to hear the preschoolers like the solo screechers. Boys go to reconnoiter, girls go because they oughtro. Many go for flection, precious few to help the collection." — Woodsfield (O.) Spit of Democracy. The balance of power is a bank balance. The early bird gets his reward. But the early worm becomes the late worm. Adam had his faults, but you can say one thing for him. He was an original cuss. Another way to get thin to music is to try playing an accordion for a living. Hard times are just little intervals of timidity between periods of normal growth. Hell, for some people, will be a place full of endless delights, all mercilessly censured. You can't expect much romance in an age when artists wear four-hand ties and some of the nicest poets are bald. The reason landlords are richer than renters is because they pay for a house one time and then quit. The strike of miners need not worry France so long as she can seize enough marks to keep her furnace going. Parents of a small boy who holds his breath when denied his own way will understand Europe rather well. There’s no fun in being a diplomat when cannot fodder won’t gnash its teeth in support of your bluffs. Paint jobs are so well done now that it is difficult to tell the age of a car without seeing the mortgage. In the good old wet days there was more of liberty. You could decline a drink without insulting your host. Ah, well, the modern girl may know less about making bread, but she knows more about making dough. At any rate surgery is making rapid strides in teaching people to talk about their intimate possessions. Women are funny. If it’s a 1922 town, it’s a disgrace. But if it dates back to 1200 B.C. it’s ultra modern. That kind of gossip isn’t so popular in small towns now. People get the same kick by reading the new novels. The West may be untutored, but you'll notice where the lecturers do their stuff when they come over to scold the country. Correct this sentence: "The speedometer is broken," said the used-car dealer, "but this car has been driven only two thousand miles." And that is more to be proud of than an isolated grandeur. Baltimore is the latest city to prove its right to honor place. The Baltimore Museum of Art has just opened in the old Garret Mansion on Mount Vernon Place. The entire main floor is devoted to exhibits and art activities of the city will have their centers on other floors of the building. The scope of the Inaugural Exhibition includes paintings and sculpture by American and foreign artists; stehings by old and modern masters from the Conrad collection; East Indian metal work and wood carving, early American and English silver and furniture; and Plemist tapestries. The museum has been granted a plot of land near Johns Hopkins University and expects to build as soon as the necessary funds are available. The officers include: President, Mr. Blanchard Randall; Vice Presidenis, Dr. A. R. L. Dohme and Dr. Hugh H. Young; Secretary, Mr. Henry H. Wiegand, and Treasurer, Mr. B. Howell Griswold, Jr. There are those in the theatre who honestly believe that academic persuasion on the part of writers, producers, and actors is a deterrent rather than an aid. Hence they visit the productions of the annual Harvard prize play, which comes from Professor Baker's English 47 class with misgiving and indeed prejudice. But what they could learn from the last one, "You and I" now playing at the Belmont! Mr. Phillip Barry, the author, has scored in a brilliant and forceful bit of writing, which has none of the lapses of the ordinary Boardway product. His play is helped tremendously by such artists as H. B. Warner, whom all the world remembers as the original Jimmy Valentine, Luelle Watson, who is the logical successor for the laurels of Mrs. Flake in my proud opinion, Ferdinand Gottschalk, finished and perfect, and Geoffrey Kerr, who made the Prince of Wales even more popular in this country by his portrayal of him in "Just Suppose." With all this, Robert Milton produced the play, and no wonder he did well with such a play and such a cast. When Fred T. Torrey, of Port Deposit, Md., was five years old, he was taken to Italy by his parents. That was back in 1870. A sculptor, then unknown, made a bust of the child, which the parents treasured, because it was of their boy. Recently it was sent to New York for valuation, and now is to be sold for $30,000. It is one of St. Gaudens' earliest works. Main Dealer Want Ads Get Results DON’T BUY SHOES YET! Women are funny. It's a 1922 town, it's a disgrace.

PANTOMIME by J. H. Striebel BUT WHAT IT DOES SPEAKS LOUDEST WISE AND WITTY Many a poet starves before his laurels are ready to pluck. Strong character is a fortification which enables man to bear with fortitude. A tight-rope walker is a good example for one who would follow the straight and narrow path. After a man has run his gamut he begins his race for safety. Through lack of intellect, vulgarity plants seeds which bear no fruit.
