SALE OF WAR SUPPLIES REGRETTABLE For the United States government to give its sympathy and moral support to the Obregon government in Mexico as against the unwarranted armed uprising, was and is deemed right and proper, no doubt, among the masses of the American people. It is much to be regretted, however, that the United States government should sell war supplies, even in small quantities, to the government of Mexico. This country should avoid even the appearance of encouraging warfare. Particularly should the United States keep itself clear from any imputation that it is willing to sell munitions of war sheerly from and through commercial considerations. It is not to be assumed that this is the motive. But the very fact that sales are made, gives ground for criticism on this score. America should keep its record white in the matter of supplying war materials to any country, especially in armed strife which does not directly concern this country. It is to be hoped that President Obregon soon may quell the bloody uprisings and that Mexico soon may be at peace. But this country should not be expected to take any hand in the situation except to give moral encouragement to the established government in Mexico. American mercantile shipping is in sorry, demoralized plight yet. It should be rescued and put upon sound basis. The preventable fire continues to cause great havoc. Temperate, moderate living, clean thinking, optimistic feeling—these give zest to life. American mercantile shipping is in sorry, demoralized plight yet.

Americanizing of aliens in this country is commendable. But the Americanizing process should be applied to many who were born in this country. Gratitude is one of the sweetest flowers in the garden of virtues. The New Year's resolution is as good as any other, if backed by moral courage and persistence.

ATURES Except Sunday or and Publisher THE ORANGE COUNTY Plain Dealer LOOKING FOR A SAFE PLACE TO LAND 1924 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION BLITZP WELCOME DEM.CONVENT PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) It isn't a stable government if its statesmen are addicted to stalling. No more dogs will get into the White House, except in the guise of frankfurters. Party loyalty, at times, is not easily distinguished from an itch for a postoffice. About the only tax-free securities a poor man can collect are treasures in heaven. And then again you can recognize the approach to Easy street by the nervous wrecks along the way! Many a man thinks he is feeling sorry for his sins when he is merely feeling sorry for himself. He may forget to put out the cat while she's away, but he does not forget to feed the kitty. House rent is so high now, it is odd that people don't stay at home to get their money's worth. Men no longer hook up their wives, but women haven't lost the knack of hooking husbands.

STRAUS President American Society for Thrift At the present time there is a SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON When sheep break through and eat up your crops, there's a hole in the fence; when germs break through and eat up your tissues, there's a hole in the defense. Business men who seek retirement, To spend their days without a care. Often find that such curtailment Means retrogression and despair. Except in extremely arid regions, humidity and temperature of the outdoor air are generally in proper relationship for good health; hence our oft repeated plea for better ventilation in your winter quarters. It's a sin to let your baby Play with things that it can swallow; Just as sure as you permit it. Late regrets are prone to follow. For health was there And all rejoiced; Their feet were dry. Their heads were moist. Many men with limited earnings are able to save and get ahead. Others with large salaries are barely able to make ends meet. From the standpoint of a man's best interests, therefore, it is not so much a matter of wages as it is a matter of survival. He may forget to put out the cat while she's away, but he does not forget to feed the kitty. House rent is so high now, it is odd that people don't stay at home to get their money's worth. Men no longer hook up their wives, but women haven't lost the knack of hooking husbands. In this great democratic country many upper class children treat their middle-class parents as equals. "Uncle Sam should hold up Europe's hands." Well, that's one way to keep them out of his pockets. Uncle Sam spends 78¢ of each dollar he gets for wars, past and future. Blessed are the meek. The more vices you quiesce on the first of the year, the more quickly you can get the Christmas presents paid for. Many students of the book of etiquette are surprised to learn that one doesn't say, "Here's how" when lifting a cup of tea. Another reason why husbands are not uniformly courteous to their wives is because few women could survive the shock. There are fewer burglaries now. No need to break houses when one can print a few pretty stock certificates and break suckers. Vahity is the quality that makes you buy things you can't afford, to keep the neighbors from thinking you can't afford them. Railroading has made wonderful progress within a generation. The old-time locomotive couldn't have knocked a jitney more than ten feet. Correct this sentence: "The children soiled that book I borrowed," said he. "And here is a new copy I bought for you." Little Talk On Thrift By S. W. STRAUS President American Society for Thrift At the present time there is a general tendency toward higher wages in industry. In some lines wages are 150 per cent higher than pre-war levels. In the building trades the workers are earning more money than ever before. In countless other departments of business wages and salaries have for some time been far above previous levels. The question of wages, however, is not as important fundamentally as is the question of what the workers are doing with their earnings. As a man's wages increase it is but natural that his standard of living should also attain higher levels. But he is not acting within the bounds of good judgment if he does not increase his savings along with his increased earnings. Wages and salaries are not profits. The wage earner and salaried man can only show profits in the form of savings. Money that is idly spent is gone forever, and unless a man saves something out of his year's work he might as well write off that year as a total loss. It is a fundamental fact that one's ability to save money is not entirely a matter of income. BEAN DEALER A. NEILSON Buena Park Phone—Anaheim 762-J-S —Fullerton 173-R-1 Many men with limited earnings are able to save and get ahead. Others with large salaries are barely able to make ends meet. From the standpoint of a man's best interests, therefore, it is not so much a matter of wages as it is a matter of savings. The man who helps produce wealth through his labor whether it be mental or physical certainly is entitled to rightful remuneration and it is pleasing to note that employment conditions are in such a substantial condition; also that among competent authorities opinion prevails that the outlook is good. But the workers owe it to themselves in self-interest to lay by a goodly part of their income. High wages should also mean high savings. Now is a propitious time to give thought to this great truth. NEW LAMP BURNS 94 PER CENT AIR BEATS ELECTRIC OR GAS A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U.S. government and 35 leading universities, and found to be superior to ten ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise—no pumping up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94 per cent air and 6 per cent common kerosene (coal oil). The inventor, W. A. Johnson 161 N. Union Ave., Portlaud, Ore., is offering to send a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user tin each locality who will help him introduce it. Write him today for full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make $250 to $500 per month.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT TOO FRIENDLY STRANGER The tramcar was full and the old lady tired and feeble. Quickly a young man offered his seat. "One minute," she said. "Do I look eccentric?" "No, madam." "Or as if I'm likely to go straight home and alter my will in your favor?" "Such a thing never occurred to me," stammered the young man, while the other passengers stared and giggled. "Then I'll take your seat," said the old lady. "But I don't want any misunderstanding." CAN HE CUT STARS? PORT HURON, O — Marcus Aurelius Hitchcock, the grand old man of Point Edward and Sarnia, who is personally known to the champion skaters, hockey players and sportsmen of Ontario, observed his eighty-second birthday recently. Mr. Hitchcock is the pioneer fisherman of the great lakes. With him fishing is a business and not a pastime. He started seining fish when he was nine years old and is still carrying on. He has the records to prove that he has taken more fish from Lake Huron than any man alive. Despite his $2 years he is still a nimble skater, and he fully expects to be cutting the figure "$8" on Sarnia bay this winter. —Detroit News. ALL RIGHT Shaw Desmond says: "Duasany is the link between the elemental Yeats and the modern Shaw, and so completes the trinity of magic which makes the Gael what he is—not merely the interpreter, but the unifier of the thing that was the thing that is, and the thing that is to be, and which is making the modern Irish writer the creator of 'the synthetic story,' which one day is going to displace 'the novel'—that word of stupid unmeaning." There was a Financial Fame King in the East Side of New York-Park Avenue. Of royal power and wealth possessed. No wish unanswered remained in his breast. Conquest was his when he bared his brain. She was small; she was cute, she was quaint, Jean was her name and she did not use paint. She mocked the cypress that rose by the spring.

She was small; she was cute, she was quaint, Jean was her name and she did not use paint. She mocked the cypress that rose by the spring. Sweet with the odor of musk and a snare. She met the king and millionaire. The lawyers tried hard to quiet the affair. It is fame that suffers from the "baby stare."—Marcel Steinbrugge.
