EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Not unto all the tuneful lips are given, The ready tongue, the words so strong and sweet; Yet all may turn, with humble, willing feet, And bear to darkened souls the light from Heavan. —Francis Ridley Havergal. Equipment Increase for Railroads Railroads which enter California are expending large sums for additional rolling stock and equipment. The Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and Santa Fe are adding immensely to their carrying facilities. This gives hope that there will be no delays in moving all perishable crops from orchards and gardens in California this season. Efficiency of railroad service, according to disinterested information, is increasing. The railroads gradually but surely are recouping from the tremendous strain of World War days. Huge sums are being expended for new cars, for sidings and for additional terminal facilities. All these things are encouraging and denote recognition of the prosperous status of the country. The best type of citizen is the one who, "day by day, in every way," faithfully and conscientiously does his duty by his family, by his home community, and by the state and nation. This kind of citizen usually is modest, unostentatious and not a seeker after glory. Co-Operation Required in Modern Life One of the most urgent needs of modern life is unselfish co-operation. This need runs through every stratum of society and affects every class and element of the people. Co-operation is needed among nations, to obviate warfare. Co-operation is needed in domestic affairs in this country. Co-operation between the people and the government. Co-operation between one class and another class. Co-operation between city and county. Co-operation between labor and capital. Co-operation of labor and capital with the public. Co-operation between the rich and poor.

This need runs through every stratum of society and affects every class and element of the people. Co-operation is needed among nations, to obviate warfare. Co-operation is needed in domestic affairs in this country. Co-operation between the people and the government. Co-operation between one class and another class. Co-operation between city and county. Co-operation between labor and capital. Co-operation of labor and capital with the public. Co-operation between the rich and poor. And in civic affairs, co-operation among all. In the church, in the school, in the home, there is urgent need of persisting cooperation. California crops, from present indications, are to be moved expeditiously this fall. The great Western railroads are better prepared than they have been for a long time, to move a huge volume of farm and orchard produce with dispatch. The American farmer, having organized and asserted himself, is receiving more attention from state governments and the national government. The agricultural industry is being placed on a more substantial footing, and legislation to protect and to promote it receives favorable attention at Washington and at state capitals.

Some of the most thrilling magazine fiction is found in the advertisements. The constitutional right of peaceful assembly doesn't refer to choir practice. Benevolent statesmanship is the theory that somebody else should lick Turkey. Many of them, however, yearn to wear knickers and merely take up golf as an alibi. Now that Mr. Morse has been acquitted, he can give up his contemplated ill health. A village is a place where a prominent citizen wears galluses in order to have a place to rest his thumbs. "The big ones get away" says a heading. Probably a fish story or a reference to war profiteers. They say Coolidge is not half as taciturn as his father. He might be called demi-taciturn. If he moves his lips while reading to himself, the theory of evolution makes him mad. Ring a song of six pence, a full tune, it sound only. ABE MARTIN One drawback t' this fast age is that all th' opinions are all formed before th' real facts git started. "Well, I guess I might as well go home an' pick out a couple o' trees t' burn this winter," said Tipton Bud, after readin' that th' government would take a hand in th' coal strike. DINNER STORIES A clergyman in Southern California relates with glee the following: "In my pastorate in Lowell, POEMS THAT LIVE THE NEIGHBOR How cold and wet the lowlands lie Beneath the cloaked and wooded sky! How softly beats the welcome rain Against the plashy window-pane! There is no sail upon the bay; We cannot go abroad today, But, darlings, come and take my hand, And hear a tale of Fairy-land. The baby's little head shall rest In quiet on his father's breast, And mother, if he chance to stir, Shall sing him songs once sung to her. Ah, little ones, ye do not fret Because the garden grass is wet; Ye love the rains, whene'er they come, That all day keep your father home. No fish today the net shall yield; The happy oxen graze afield; The thirsty corn will drink its fill, And louder sing the mountain rill. Then, darlings, nestle round the hearth; Ye are the sunshine of the DINNER STORIES A clergyman in Southern California relates with glee the following: "In my pastorate in Lowell, Mass., some years ago, a good deacon and his wife shared their pew with an elderly malden lady, an intimate friend. The deacon's wife died and some time later he married the latter. One day a wag in the church said to me. "I see you've married the deacon Miss Blank." "Yes," I replied, "I think it is a good marriage." "So do I," replied the wag. "People that have slept together in the same pew so long ought to be married." It was a hot Sunday in May. In a little room on hard wooden benches sat forty wiggling, little humans. The hot sun poured through the windows, the teacher's inexperience added to her heat, recites Judge. The lesson was the separation of the sheep from the goats. Calling on her imagination the teacher described vividly the wonders of heaven and the horrors of hell. Ruth, aged 4, on the front bench listened enapt, her eyes growing larger and larger. "Ruth," ended the teacher, "where would you rather go, to heaven or to hell?" "I'd like to see both places," replied Ruth. Teacher, hastily: "We will now sing a hymn." Aunt Mary was trying to persuade little Bod to retire at sunset, using the argument that all the little chickens went to bed at that time, says Judge. "Yes," said little Bod. "but the old hen always goes with them." TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH, 1923. Subscription Rate—In No. Orange co. per Yr. $3; 6 Months, $1.75.

Through the blitheful days and solemn, Through the punk and pleasant weather. 'Tis sadness in my heart that speaks. I'm wrung by deep and stinging pain. I'm sad because, in just three weeks, I may come back to you again. R. K. M. Germany is now succeeding in printing marks fast enough to pay the men's salaries who run the printing presses. That's a hopeful sign. OUR OWN AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT It never pays to fool a hen with a china egg, for when the hen finds out the deception it is peeved. There is no greater nuisance around a farm than a grouchy hen, for when a hen acquires a pessimistic mood it not only refuses to lay, but will dig up more dirt in a day than three hired men with spring-tooth harrows. Any farmer who drives his cows to water in the daytime when everybody can see him do it is certainly taking a long chance. There are a lot of boobs in this country who believe, when they see a cow drinking water, that the milk is watered in that way. It is not even safe to have a pump anywhere in sight around a dairy farm. One of the best ways for a farmer to get rid of his money is to follow the instructions given by the "farm expert" who sits in a city office and writes farm articles for some magazine. There isn't an expert of this kind in the country who knows enough about farm life to get along with one gallus. CUMULATIVE EVIDENCE The lady next door sings it. Piano next door rings it. Nine phonographs all play it. Nine tenors blithely slay it. Trombones tell us about it. The hired girls all shout it. The organ grinder tells it. The seissors grinder yells it.

NO REASON WHY HE SHOULD BE Dear Roy: While riding on a street car I noticed a large sign reading: "A Nemic—Ice, Coal and Wood." I wonder if his work got him that way—Al Marquis. A GYPSY—A CAT Dear Gypsy, soft and gentle cat, Your subtle eyes of green— They fascinate me. "Tis a rat, Perhaps, that you have seen. Dream you strange dreams of sorcery, Of witches and of brooms? Weird must your meditation be— Of ghosts and haunted rooms. I fear your eyes, your emerald eyes They wind a spell round me. It seems my soul within me dies! You dream with flendish glee. Black cats and green cats, fool, I hate! Fly! Leave my sight now! Scat! You're too sagacious and sedate. I cannot bear a cat! —Frederick Schenk Schlesinger. We often wonder whatever happened to the old party who got up the slogan to the effect that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Whoever he was, he never worked on a newspaper.
