EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday. Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Love! yes, the whole secret is in that one word. By adding love to the conception of the God of His people, by exemplifying it in His own life and demanding it of His followers, Jesus accomplished what had baffled all the wisdom of the Greek sages. He restored the moral unity of man, abolished the old world, and made a new heaven and a new earth. —Thomas Davidson MEMORIAL TO ANIMALS IN WAR SERVICE Britons are to do the gracious thing by memorializing the birds, beasts and fishes which died in the service of the empire during the World War. An animal cenotaph is to be built soon in London near Hyde Park Corner. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has raised more than 2000 pounds sterling for this memorial. It is recalled, in this connection, that there were 364,130 casualties among horses in the British army during the war. Dogs died by the thousands. Camels, reindeer, elephants and oxen gave their lives in the transport service. Cats were slain in research work. Pigeons were shot down as they carried messages. Mice and small birds were used to detect poison gases. Goldfish perished in testing water in gas helmets. All these forms of animal life will be commemorated in this memorial. Man, usually, is unappreciative of the services given him by faithful animals. There is no more consistent and no more beautiful and self-sacrificing fidelity under the sun than is given to man by his friends, the animals. Dogs and horses, in particular, exemplify faithfulness to their masters that human beings, in many instances, do not show. These outstanding fidelities should be recognized and commemorated.

BALANCE OF TRADE NOW FAVORABLE The balance of trade, in foreign commerce, is swinging sharply to the advantage of the United States. The January balance was $95,000,000 on the sunny side of Uncle Sam's ledger. Exports for that month totaled $394,000,000 and imports were $299,000,000. During the corresponding month one year ago the trade balance in favor of the United States was only $6,000,000. Despite disturbed conditions in Central Europe, the overseas continent continues to buy heavily from the United States. While this country's imports are healthily vast, yet export trade is growing more rapidly than import. This is to the economic advantage of the United States, of course. As Europe adjusts its controversies, the volume of trade between the United States and that quarter of the world will increase more and more.

W. STRAUS, (President American Society Thrift) One of the important problems of the immediate crisis in our rapidly disappearing forest supply. It is a serious situation that is steadily being injected into our daily lives in form of increased buildings and general living expenses. According to government statistics 98-per cent of the homes of the country and 59 to 90 per cent of urban dences are of wood construction. Only twenty-five per cent of current drain on our forests is being replaced by growth of new timber, leaving per cent of consumption as loss of supply. Thus it will be seen how depletion is persistently imminent itself as an element in living costs. Forest exhaustion also a heavy burden on the through increased transport costs. Two-thirds of the can demand for wood is originate in the Central and eastern sections where the supply is negligible. This re-shipment of lumber from South and Far West.

STRAUS, President American Society for Thrift) One of the important national problems of the immediate future is in our rapidly disappearing heat supply. It is a serious situation that is steadily being inserted into our daily lives in the form of increased building costs and general living expenses. According to government statistics 98% per cent of the rural homes of the country and from 90 per cent of urban residences are of wood construction. Twenty-five per cent of the current drain on our forest supply is being replaced through growth of new timber, leaving 75 per cent of consumption as a net source of supply. Thus it will be seen how forest deforestation is persistently imposing itself as an element in higher living costs. Forest exhaustion also places heavy burden on the public through increased transportation costs. Two-thirds of the American demand for wood is said to originate in the Central and Eastern sections where the timber supply is negligible. This requires equipment of lumber from the south and Far West. In 1920 the lumber movement cost more than a quarter of a billion dollars. In the six years preceding 1920 the average freight haul increased by 20%. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying PIONEERING IS BUSINESS-LIKE—Riverside Press In the past, haphazard settlement and reclamation of idle lands has been the usual thing in this country. Too often settlers have flocked in with little money and experience and little knowledge of the difficulties they were facing. The result has been disastrous for them and for the states in which they settled. The story of Western pioneering has been, on the whole, a story of heart-breaking failure and bankruptcy on the part of the original settlers, with others coming in later and possessing the land. Local business interests have suffered along with the settlers. Development has been retarded. Now, little by little, all that is being changed. The settling of new land is being attended to scientifically. Old-fashioned land boom and auction sales methods are being discouraged. State officials and private organizations, taught by many disasters, are working out a sound system. Real estate sales are being controlled in some states by the licensing of real estate brokers and censorship of their methods, with forced restoration in case of fraud. Settlements are made under state guidance, with proper provision for transportation, marketing, sanitation, etc. State loans are provided, in many cases, for deserving settlers. State bureaus of immigration guide the newcomers to their destination and keep a friendly eye on them afterward. Farmers are encouraged in preserving adequate woodland and reforesting cutover land. Road building is facilitated. As a result, various states, are getting results from recent settlements which they never got in the old days, and are saving thousands of families from ruin and heartbreak. These are benefits often making up for the lack of such rich homestead land as used to be available. With improved facilities for developing his property, and more accessible markets, the intelligent, energetic pioneer may have a better chance today, in a good state, than he ever had before.

In 1920 the lumber movement cost more than a quarter of a billion dollars. In the six years preceding 1920 the average freight haul increased more than 30 per cent and the freight bill advanced 400,000,000. From an original stand of over 100,000,000 acres of virgin forests the amount now standing has dwindled to less than 150,000,000 acres, in addition to some 250,000,000 acres of cut-over forest land. The problem of replenishing our forest supply is vital, involving one of our most important problems in national thrift. Individual progress and nation-well-being demand that constructive steps be taken. The larger comprehensive and decisive action are posiponed, the more serious the problem becomes. A PAGE FROM A MODERN YOUNG GIRL'S DIARY (Imagined by A. S. O.) Friday—Got up at 1 p.m. Ho hum! Read "Memoirs of Casanova"—dull stuff—until Ma brought me my breakfast. Ma called me up, but I couldn't give him a date, I'm fixed up every night for two weeks. Ma asked me to come home for dinner with her and Pa, but I told her I couldn't. Why, I was home for dinner one night last week. Pa and Ma just don't understand me. Here I am nearly eighteen years old, and they give me h——because I smoke cigarettes. Went down town at 5 and sat around that stuffy old beauty shop a half hour waiting for a wave and a manicure. Every body is too slow nowadays. Coming out I met Sadie—the stuck up thing—and she told me screamingly funny stories a traveling man had told her last night. I had to leave her at 5:30 and met Alec. He was in that tub of his, that antiquated Rolls Royce. I wish he wouldn't disgrace me by dragging me around it. I told him he couldn't take me out again until he got a new car. We went to Cirro's but the stuff they had to drink tasted like dishwater, so we went on to Dago Fred's roadhouse. We danced till Alec keeled over. We'd only had about seven cocktails. I always did think he was a weak one. I piled him into the roadster and started back to town with him. It was early and I wasn't going to have my evening spoiled. A speed cop got after me when we got into that stretch of concrete road but I got away. I drew up in front of the Centre building, hopped out and left Alec there dead to the world. Then I called up Jack, and got hold of him. He came right down town, bringing a flask on both hips. We went over to the Mandarin and danced until after 3. He kissed我 five or six times coming home—like an amateur. Oh, well, he's a nice egg and he saved the evening from being a total loss. I suppose every girl has to have days as dull as this one in her life. SPEAKING OF COGNOMENS After all, what is in a name? The real name of Al Jolson is Asa Yoelson; of Mary Pickford, Gladys Smith; of Ina Claire, Ina Fagan; of Marie Dressler, Lella Koerber; of Mitzi, Magdalena Hajos; of Conway Tearle, Frederick Tearle; of Robert Warwick, Robert T.

Farmers in Oregon sat down to a dinner which cost 16 cents a plate. The cost per plate was computed at the price which the farmers obtained for the products. When you compare this to the cost of the modern banquet—usually from $5 to $10—and then you have to listen to the speeches, something is wrong somewhere.

Santa Ana 1924-the Home Building YearThis is the year for building homes. Big homes, small homes, luxurious homes and modest homes—but real homes, for families to live in and be happy in. All over the country this is true. Reports show greater interest and activity in home building than has existed for a long time. There is a thought in this for you. Build your home now. You will be better off when you own your own home. Your family will have a better time. There is more than comfort in a real home of your own—a home that expresses your own idea and realizes your own ideas. You know where you want to build. Maybe you already have the lot. Talk to your building material dealer about the proposition. It knows conditions; he knows building materials. He is right here at home and his one aim is to treat you in a way that will earn your friendship for good and all. He has to meet you on the street every few days—and he wants you to smile when you see him. Let 1924 be your home year, too. GIBBS LUMBER CO. 801 East Broadway Anaheim, Calif.
