EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS What is our creed. Each deed well done, Words matter not, true worth is won As test of good; whate'er we do, Love of our God must filter through And touch our brothers, ere we win Their heart and feet from paths of sin. —Abbie A. Gould CO-OPERATION IS KEY, TO FARM PROBLEMS President Coolidge and others are urging farmers to co-operate more closely. Co-operation unquestionably is the hope of the farmer. He must co-operate in his marketing. He must have co-operation in financing and in transporting his crops. He will do well to foster co-operation with consumers. In truth, co-operation all along the line, from the days of plowing and planting, through the days of cultivation and growth of crops, to the day of harvesting and of marketing—co-operation all the way, in as many directions as possible, is the hope of the farmer. Government aid may carry him along for a time. But ultimately he must depend upon himself. Self-help and co-operative spirit; use of sound judgment in choosing his crops and in caring for them; diversification; applying common sense methods—these will aid the farmer as nothing else will. The people would have more confidence in "the powers that be" at Washington if each and every department of the Federal Government were overhauled and if reform brooms were yielded vigorously to sweep clean every department and every bureau. PRINCE OF WALES HURT IN DARING RIDING The wholesome young Prince of Wales is a "good sport." The people would have more confidence in "the powers that be" at Washington if each and every department of the Federal Government were overhauled and if reform brooms were yielded vigorously to sweep clean every department and every bureau. PRINCE OF WALES HURT IN DARING RIDING The wholesome young Prince of Wales is a "good sport," to put it in common American parlance. His daring riding has caused the king father and queen mother considerable apprehension. A prominent cavalry officer says that "the Prince is the bravest horseman in England." The bold young reign of royalty has had many a spill and escaped unscathed. But in his last mishap his collarbone was fractured. This will not deter him from resuming spirited riding after his hurt heals. The Prince maintains the traditions of British royalty in being an ardent lover of outdoor sports. He does not choose soft places for himself. He takes on, frequently the most plebeian and democratic activities—as, for example, his recent stay of several weeks on his ranch in Canada, during which time he worked strenuously in the felds with the farm help. Woodrow Wilson has left his monument in the hearts of mankind. The best way to honor Woodrow Wilson is to emulate his virtues and carry on the work which he began. There never should be another Teapot Dome scandal. There should be a strengthening of the safeguards around the public domain. A good many persons are being reminded, quite forcibly, that there is an Eighteenth Amendment and prohibitory laws. Death stops not for power or distinction. The great fall, just as do the humble. Death disregards all ranks, and, sooner or later, summons everyone. Buy wisely—CRESCENT ICE CREAM of course!

SANTA FE FIELD DROPS RAPIDLY The discovery well of big production, Bell No. 1 of the Union Oil Co. has staged a comeback in the deep sand and is a very credible well in the Meyer sand. More than two years ago Bell No. 1 was brought in in the Bell zone at a depth of 3788 feet and produced more than a million barrels. Redrilled and deepened to 4770 feet the Bell well in the Meyer zone is producing 550 barrels. The output of the Bell well in the Meyer zone is good considering the present depleted condition of that deep sand and the low gas pressure over the Springs area. An encouraging feature of the west side of the Springs field is the splendid showing the Standard Oil's O. A. Houghton well is making. Completed a 1000-barrel well at 4669 two weeks ago, the well has increased its production to 1080 barrels. The Standard's extreme west side test well, W. L. Houghton 1, has passed the 5560 mark and found nothing. Santa Fe Springs production has dropped below the 120,000 mark and continues to decline at more than a 1000 barrels a day. The field is drilled up and new production cannot hop to take care of the decline. Huntington Beach is holding its own among the old fields of So. California with an output in excess of 60,000 dally. The field this past week showed some new developments new wells being started by the Associated Oil Company and the Standard. The Associated's new work included 3 wells on the Mile-Keck property.

California with an output in excess of 60,000 dally. The field this past week showed some new developments new wells being started by the Associated Oil Company and the Standard. The Associated's new work included 3 wells on the Miley-Keck property, the Standard's a new well on the surf. Montebello has not as yet been successful in pushing the western boundary of the field out from the old proven field. The H. L. Whisten well at 4320 failed to make commercial production and is to go down to 5000 feet for a second test. The Union Oil Company's La Merced No. 24 a deep test well in the old field has passed 4300 feet and found nothing. The drilling of the Reppetto Hills Oil Company's No. 1 is now attracting a little attention, drilling is at 3650 feet and some showings noted. Rideout Heights this past week had the addition of the Standard Oil Company to its development list. The Standard has closed a lease for the Patten property and has a rig up for No. 1. The O'Donnell Oil and Refining Company, the discoverer of the deep sand in the old field has started its No. 9 a new well. At Richfield the Union Oil Company's Graham-Loftus 54 is looking very good and will give the field a real incentive for deep drilling. At 4080 the Union well revealed a deep sand that carries oil in good quantity. The Old Brea field has been waiting for something to open up a deep sand and it appears that Graham-Loftus 54 will do it. With the abandonment of the Co-operative Petroleum Syndicate at 5400 and the M. & H. Oil Company's No. 1 at 4662 the outlook or hope of a western extension of the Santa Fe Springs field fades. The Co-operative well is considered a good deep test and will probably satisfy doubters. Plain Dealer Classified Ads Always Bring Results FRIDAY, FEBRUARY FIFTEENTH, 1924 Subscription Rate—In N.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying PAGE THE PASADENA TOURIST CLUB—San Bernardino Sun There is a tragedy impending which the American people should face resolutely. Nothing can be done to avert it. Senatorial investigations, legislative enactments, and even local ordinances will not wash out one word of the tragedy nor lighten the dismal consequences in store for us. No one avenue is open but that of a puncture-proof, non-skid resolution stockly to accept the inevitable. It seems that after running a course of normalcy for many centuries the honored game of checkers, favorite indoor sport of cracker-box philosophers in village stores, is nearing what is technically called the point of exhaustion. The game goes back almost to the beginning of the civilization. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans held it in high esteem as requiring profound mental efforts. But when the cracker-box philosophers came the beginning of the decline of checkers. The intensely analytical powers of the mind of this individual discovered that there is a certain combination of moves which will win the game as inevitably as the right combination opens a bank safe. If your opponent also knows these combinations, the game is almost sure to end in a draw. Thus when some years ago an American and English champion played fifty games, forty-seven of them ended in draws. Now a game of checkers that is bound to end in a draw is no game at all. The real zest and heart have been taken out of it; it is merely a series of moves in which the players know from the start what each of the next two dozen moves is to be. And that's no game. Our intensely analytical minds have now reduced this game to a mere matter of mathematical calculation. We have had to make the selection of opening plays compulsory. The spirit of adventure has departed from checkers. We shall soon have to resort to lotto and dominoes for mental exhilaration. THE VITAL QUESTIONS OF THE HOUR.
