U. S. AND CANADA TRADE SHOWS INCREASE Trade between the United States and Canada is increasing vastly. There was gain of more than $200,000,000 during the year ending October 31. Canada imported from the United States commodities valued at $620,000,000 and the United States took from Canada, during the same period, commodities valued at $411,000,000. This means that the grand total of commerce between the United States and Our Lady of the Snows is more than $1,000,000,000 annually. Relations between this country and the Dominion are of the friendliest character. Commercial intercourse is to their mutual advantage. They supplement each other, in exchange of commodities. Canada affords this country a good market for many of America's productions. Canada, on its part, benefits by being able to buy so close at home, and also by being able to find a good market for a vast quantity of its own surplus products. Friendship between the United States and Canada is proverbial throughout the world. This unbroken state of amity and goodwill, running through more than a century, is held up to the world as one of the finest possible examples of how countries should deport themselves toward each other—a model in peaceful international relations. The American farmer can find no surer or better help than that which he can and should give himself. Good music lifts the soul above the monotonous, sordid, disheartening things of everyday life. When the American farmer intelligently and consistently diversifies his crops, his woes and losses will dwindle. For the good of organized baseball in this section, the bickering among the higher-ups of the Pacific Coast Baseball League should be stopped. It is sure to hurt the game if it is continued. It is to be hoped and prayed that Mexico may escape another baptism of bloody chaos. When the American farmer intelligently and consistently diversifies his crops, his woes and losses will dwindle.

Society fails in its duty to the young if it does not give them sound moral training and surround them with wholesome moral influences.

I'M JUST CARRYING OUT MY POLICY OF NO LIVING EXPRESIDENTS! DIAZ IMADERO HUERTA CARRANZA MEXICO PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) The hard part of diplomacy, just at present, is Poincare's head. Backbone won't get you far, however, if the knot at the top of it is solid bone. In some particulars the world is no better, but you see very few roller towels now. Program for a presidential candidate: First get your policy; then get your hammer. Some of the other candidates talk more than Coolidge, but few of them are saying more. The klan is inactive now. It's too darned cold to run about at night in one's nightshirt. Those who doubt the existence of absolute zero might observe the average man's enthusiasm for grand opera. Many a man who thinks he is aspiring to higher things is merely aspiring to a softer job. Progress is but the functioning of the vanity that makes a man eager to outshine his fellows. The most shocking Paris divorce is that one old Omar mentioned—the divorce of old barren reason. It isn't absolutely necessary to know much about etiquette if you know a great deal about kindness. ABE MARTIN of the woman guests One of the guests remarked to the bridesmaid, "What a nuisance babies are at a wedding." "I should say so," returned the latter, and added without very much consideration of her words. "When I send out the invitations to my wedding I shall have printed in the corner, 'No babies expected.'" Pneumonia is essentially a disease of the house; the clean, cold, moist, fresh air of the sleeping porch prevents pneumonia. Jest t' be mentioned for some good office is glory enough without takin' any further chances. Women are th' goshdingest things. If they ride in th' back seat, they want t' drive; an' if they ride in front, they want t' hug us. DINNER STORIES Bridge fans will appreciate this story, told by a returning European traveler.

When Eve was the first lady in the land, not a single flower or color was named for her. Leap Year: That one during which a maid is privileged to court a man without making him think he is doing it. A hick town is one in which friends smell it on your breath and tell the world. We wonder if fallen leaves wouldn't make good furnace fuel if pressed into small bricks and mixed with slate. An experienced business woman is one who isn't offensively brusque in an effort to seem as important as a male.

Bridge is one of the most popular pastimes on shipboard, and this young man spent a great deal of his time playing with the ship surgeon and two friends. The surgeon was wont to impress on one of the young men, who was more or less a novice at the game, over and over: "Thousands of men are walking the streets of London because they didn't lead out the trumps." The day after the boat landed, the young man thus impressed became slightly spifflicated, so to speak. Strolling unsteadily in Piccadilly, he happened to see a rather worn individual, and walking up to him, he managed to ask rather huskily. "Are you walking the streets of Lunnon because you didn't lead out trumps?" The individual thus addressed smiled slightly, then solemnly answered: "No, guv'nor, I trumped my partner's aces." A woman blessed with three children tells this story on herself: She was acting as a bridesmaid. The wedding party was being disturbed considerably by the crying of a baby belonging to one FRIDAY, DECEMBER TWENTY-ONE, 1923 Subscription Rate—In No. Orange-co., per Yr., $3; 6 Months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as 2nd class matter. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT SOME PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE THAT— Every actress in New York bats around nights after the show. All the Frenchmen do is chase around with chorus girls in Paris. People get drunk as soon as they board Atlantic liners, and stay that way. If a cigar is marked "Havana" the tobacco was grown in Cuba. The only way to get stage press-stuff is by way of a scandal. Every married man in New York suffers with a delicatessen stomach. The newspapers are always glad to get stuff to "help fill up." A "beautiful society bride" must necessarily be beautiful. An artists' model always sits around restaurants without any clothes on. Women don't care about smoking unless somebody sees them doing it. No restaurant proprietor ever eats in his own place. Every married man in New Lork suffers with a delicatessen stomach. Telephone girls and manicures know all the gossip in the world. No wife ever made a shirt for her husband that he could wear. Colored persons always wear gold eyeglasses just for effect. Every man who wears bone-rimmed glasses wants to look "lit'ry." Every stenographer tries to vamp the boss of the office. Fourteen billion stamps issued by the United States every year. More magazine stories are being returned than we had thought. About fifteen years ago we bought a set of books on the installment plan. They were good books and the set was called "Secret Chronicles of the Courts of Europe." We do not know what these books contain, but the bindings are excellent. We spent several months trying to wade through the 1st volume, and as there were no scandals mentioned, as we thought we had a right to expect from the title, we gave it up as a bad job and decided to admire the books for their bindings alone, as we have received offers from various book publishers in practically every mail. Some of them ask us to send 15 cents, and others say to send no money at all but to take the books for a ten days' free trial. Now, the book business has grown until we get three or four such offers every morning in the mail. It seems the publishers are all in cahoots. If you send your name and address to one they all get it in the course of time. The admonition go send no money generally catches us and we have bought these books steadily for fifteen years, and there is scarcely a day passes that does not bring us a package literature. We now have upward of 4,000 volumes and they are still coming. We are behind in our payment to some of these publishers because we can't keep track of the date on which we are supposed to send in the 10 cents or whatever it is, and there is another problem—bookcases. We had a large dining room in our house and we turned that into a library and had a corps of carpenters fill all the wall space with shelves. These shelves we have received offers from various book publishers in practically every mail.

These shelves are all full now and we have books on the kitchen table and under the beds. Now we feel as though the situation has grown beyond our control and we would like to ask the publishers to desist for two years. We would like to stop unpacking books and paying for them long enough to start in reading them. We are sure some of them contain some good stuff.
