Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Oh! it is a great thing to realize that the Divine Power is always working; that Nature in every valve and every artery is full of the presence of God.—Edwin H. Chapin. This is leap year. But who's afraid? One earthquake in Italy lasted thirty-six hours. Sufficient to make the stoutest nerves shaky. Preventable fires entail enormous losses upon this country. Carefulness with fire should be enjoined upon all. President Coolidge breaks his silence only when he deems it necessary or expedient. No President ever had better control over his tongue. Brutal crimes should be prevented in this state. It is not enough to prepare elaborate machinery to hunt down criminals after crimes have been committed. There should be effective measures to prevent the perpetrating of heinous offenses of lawlessness and violence. Politics is absorbing the political leaders and would-be leaders. The people are taking their politics quite calmly. This is going to be a fiercely campaign year, but not the hurrahing type of twenty and thirty years ago. The people read more now, and form their judgments more calmly. If Henry Ford is not a Presidential candidate—there is little probability now that he will be—he would make a very useful man in the Cabinet of the next President, whoever may be the next President. A great many feel that Mr. Ford is a more valuable man to the country out of politics than he would be in politics. This, of course, is debatable. But he surely would be useful in some responsible capacity at Washington, with a free hand in directing business affairs of the government. Why not schedule him for director of the budget, or secretary of the treasury?

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT THE IMPERMANENT WAVE He once did sport a fiery mane, His reddish hair had waves; His mass of curls drove men insane, They made the girls his slaves.

Kober But that was many years ago, When he was but a lad, And times have changed a lot, you We have neglected to mention the fact before, but the New Jersey prophet who promised to bring about the end of the world on December 16 failed to keep his word. It is a pity to disappoint a lot of people that way. Copyright 1923 Hart Schaffner & Mara Giving You A Lot in Overcoats You want a lot for your money; we want to give it.

Sweet are the uses of adversity. A toothache makes you forget the heartache. Man's emancipation always goes to his head; woman's settles in her trigger finger. An old-timer is one who can remember when the height of luxury was to take a hot iron to bed. A "liberal" clergyman is one who doubts everything except his ability to get a living from believers. The old-fashioned woman who kept house now has a daughter who doesn't keep anything but going. The final "o' in blonde is silent. A man who married one says it is the only thing about her that is silent. They say some bricks laid 200 years ago look as good as new. You can say that for a cold-storage egg. About all you can say for the University of Hard Knocks is that it turns out some proficient knockers. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Staff Correspondent) MEXICO CITY, Jan. 10—More than 10,000 federal troops under General Euganio Martinez began their "on-to-Vera Cruz" march today. San Marcos, in the state of Tlaxcala, is being used as the federal base. Federal airplanes preceded the advance, dropping bombs. War Secretary Serrano said the rebels did not give battle but POSTAL CANVAS The letter carriers of the Anaheim postoffice were called together this afternoon by Postmaster J. H. Whitaker, preparatory to making a canvass of the new houses within the city limits to which it is hoped to deliver mail soon. The canvass will start without fail this week, Whitaker said.

Necessity is the mother of invention. There were no oil heaters until there were steam-heated apartments. Destiny licked Napoleon at Waterloo. Perhaps it is to give ordinary folk a chance that you are held down. When the village paper says the bride is talented, it means she knows how to cut a pattern and make biscuit. "Ours" is the word used by an ordinary wife, but not by the wife who inherits a few thousand dollars. You can't always tell. In the case of every henpecked husband we know, the bride's mother wept at the wedding. Another advantage in being the ruler of a mere republic is that one never has to leave town between two days. Years devoted to education are not wasted. The car develops more power if you let it warm up in the garage. When the stranger in a metropolis searches vainly for a drink, it is little consolation to read that prohibition can't be enforced. COUGHS—COLDS—"FLU" Watch out for "Flu" and pneumonia now.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10—An official dispatch to the Mexican consulate here today stated that Sabinas, Conhuilla, has been retaken from the Mexican rebels by loyalists under General Perez whose forces are now pursuing the rebels. Efforts are being made by the rebels to cut Mexico City off from the border to prevent transportation of supplies for the expected attack on Vera Cruz, the dispatch said, but declared the public service remains normal in the northern states.

DRIVE TO REVISE RAILROAD ACT (Continued From Page One) LaFollette and Couzens, namely, to rewrite, if not repeat the Esch-Cummins act. "It was not a partisan question to use, but one of railroad policy. Senator Smith stands with us on that policy. We tried for five weeks to reach a compromise with the old guard leadership, but they refused even to discuss the question with us. When they persisted in refusing to call a parley, we gave our support to a progressive Democrat to end the deadlock and start action upon our railroad program. We look upon the result as a victory for progressives." "The railroad policy, for which we stand and which Senator Smith has endorsed, is based on the repeal of the vital clauses of the Esch-Cummins act," said Brookhart. "We will seek also to squeeze the $7,000,000,000 of water out of railroad valuations, abolish the railroad labor board in favor of a conciliation board and force a reduction in railroad rates." Senator Smith, who was the first member of a senate minority ever to be elected chairman of a major committee, announced this morning he would issue a statement later in the day. The insurgents voiced defiance of "political punishment" from their own party. LaFollette, they said, is more powerful than the party in Wisconsin; Brookhart won over organized Republican opposition in Iowa; Ladd and Frazier are supreme in North Dakota, while Shipstead and Johnson are farmer-laborites who defeated the Republican party in Minnesota. These were the six senators whose bolt elected Smith. In addition, the insurgents claimed Senators Norris and Howell, of Nebraska; Gooding and Borah of DOING RACE WOMAN FOR BURIED TREASURE LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10. A race between a beautiful woman in a large auto and deputy sheriff of Los Angeles co., for a buried treasure, alleged to be the loot of numerous burglaries said to have been committed by Fred Rubio and Harry Lewis, row in San Quentin, developed today when the sheriffs' office was notified that a mysterious woman was seen digging early today on a vacant lot near the town of Bell, adjacent to Long Beach. According to witnesses, the woman lugged several sacks of dirt to her machine and when questioned as to who she was and what she wanted the woman is said to have explained she wanted the dirt for a flower bed. The woman is said to have been seen at the exact location, where according to a map in possession of the officers, the convicts are alleged to have buried their treasure, claimed to be worth $30,000, consisting of $5000 in currency and valuable jewels. Lewis and Rubio are said to have drawn the map of their treasure trove in company with a third confederate, who is now under arrest here, but whose identity was not revealed. 2 AIRPLANES AID TARGET PRACTICE SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. Two airplanes from Crissy Field will co-operate with Battery "B" 63rd Artillery anti-aircraft battalion commanded by Captain A.W. Jones, in target practice at Fort Funston, San Francisco, today. One airplane, piloted by Staff Sargeant Fred Kelly, with Staff Sergeant Arndt as assistant, will tow a cone-shaped canvas target The insurgents voiced defiance of "political punishment" from their own party. LaFollette, they said, is more powerful than the party in Wisconsin; Brookhart won over organized Republican opposition in Iowa; Ladd and Frazier are supreme in North Dakota, while Shipstead and Johnson are farmer-laborites who defeated the Republican party in Minnesota. These were the six senators whose bolt elected Smith. In addition, the insurgents claimed Senators Norris and Howell, of Nebraska; Gooding and Borah of Idaho; Capper of Kansas; Johnson, California; Couzens, Michigan, and Norbeck, South Dakota, would support in part at least their program on railroad legislation. They likewise claimed a majority in the interstate commerce committee itself. With the committee split, ten Republicans and seven Democrats the insurgents declared Senators LaFollette, Gooding, Couzens and Howell would join the Democrats in reporting "progressive railroad legislation" against this majority, however, the insurgents were prepared to meet one and possibly two disaffections from the Democratic ranks on the committee. Their least optimistic tabulation, tho., would give them a nine to eight majority in the committee room and a resulting control in the drafting of all railroad legislation. 2 AIRPLANES AID TARGET PRACTICE SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. Two airplanes from Crissy Field will co-operate with Battery "B" 63rd Artillery anti-aircraft battalion commanded by Captain A. W. Jones, in target practice at Fort Funaton, San Francisco, today. One airplane, piloted by Staff Sergeant Fred Kelly, with Staff Sergeant Arndt as assistant, will tow a cone-shaped canvas target 12 feet in length, at the end of a 600 yard cable at an altitude of 3000 feet at which the anti-aircraft guns will shoot three inch service shrapnel. The other plane with Sergeant K. B. Guille as pilot and Sergeant S. Be Bush as photographer, will fly in observation.
