Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Speaking of flowers, Wilberforce said that they seemed to him "like the smile on the Father's countenance." So all the beauty of the sky and the earth is like the smile of God; and a smile shows us the disposition of the person just as any words he can use. —Henry Ware, Jr. EUROPE'S PROSPECTS ARE MORE PROMISING European skies are brightening. The clouds are rolling away, as to economic stress and as to political menace. Thanks to the energy, ingenuity, ability and hard sense of the American representatives on the reparations committee—including Henry M. Robinson, of Pasadena—a resolution is being found for the vexing, demoralizing problem of German reparations. From all indications, the plan which is being evolved will be accepted by all concerned, and a new era will dawn upon Europe. There may be hitches, and temporary setbacks—but, as denoted now, the beginning of the end of economic depression and political turmoil in Central Europe is at hand. Should these happy auguries eventuate into realization, the United States would derive a fortunate reflex from the bettered status abroad. Grater prosperity in Europe would be reflected in greater prosperity in America. A settlement of the reparations controversy and stabilizing of finance in France and Germany would have the most salutary economic effect on this side of the Atlantic. The spirit of the daring Hagellan must be looking over the boundaries of eternity with eager interest as these bold American aviators, four hundred years after the circumnavigation of the globe essay to journey around the world by air Should these happy auguries eventuate into realization, the United States would derive a fortunate reflex from the bettered status abroad.

PREVENT ANY WASTE OF WATER SUPPLY Conservation of water supply should be very prominent in the thought and purpose of the people of California. While conditions have not become alarming because of the serious deficiency in rainfall this season, yet it has been deemed wise to inaugurate a movement, under auspices of the State Railroad Commission, to curtail, in reasonable measure, the use of power throughout the state during the continuance of the shortage of precipitation. This is a precautionary measure, need of which probably will end this year. But the lesson should sink deep. Californian should take cognizance of the essential importance of conserving water supply and preventing waste of this element vital to the commonwealth. Flood control projects should receive very thoughtful consideration and every well-digested plan, free from objectionable features, should have support. California should treat its water supply with extreme care and solicitude. Conservation of water should become the economic law and gospel among Californians. The importance of this cannot be exaggerated. Upon conservation, without undue delay, rests the future wellbeing of this state and section. The government at Washington, basically, is honest and honorable. It deserves the confidence of the American people. Give all men justice at all times, and there would be little or no need to give charity.

ABE MARTIN HOW MANY ENTRY A LADDER OF JAZZ AT LAST FOGG'S FERRY ULMIZED TODAY SHOWING TICKET INCREASE IN SIZE CENTS WHO'S WHO IN THE DAY'S NEWS LIEUT. ERIK NELSON The flying record of Lieut. Erik Nelson, one of the pilots in the army's round-the-world flight, is hardly surpassed by any officer in the army. Here are some of his most outstanding exploits in the air: Gulf to Pacific in 1919; Alaska expedition in 1920, for which he acted as engineer; officer officer; San Antonio to Porto Rico flight; in 1922 he won the Detroit News aerial mall race in a Martin bomber, averaging 110 miles an hour. He has approximately 1600 flying hours to his credit. Nelson is the engineer par excellence of the expedition. What he does not know about engines is not worth knowing. It was he who was assigned by the air service to supervise a type of plane calculated to meet the demands that would be encountered in the flight around the globe and for three months he worked on such a plane at the Douglas Aircraft Co. plant at Santa Monica, Calif. The result was the evolution of the world cruiser, four of which were specially constructed for the globe squadron. Lieut. Erik H. Nelson was born at Stockholm, Sweden. He was by profession an aeronautical and an expert in internal combustion engines. He served with the Curtiss Airplane Co. as aeronautical motor expert.

A man may confess that his children are imperfect, but it isn't wise to criticise his favorite brand cigarette. It seems a foolish thing to say, but since the country went dry it was floated a great many more issues. At times there seems to be some relationship between the degree of husband's jealousy and the degree of his baldness. Bachelors are not really wiser minds than married men.

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at The Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DINNER STORIES The plaintiff, a Mexican, was talking as fast as his knowledge of English would permit. Suddenly he chanced to notice the court stenographer, and observed that the man was taking down everything he said. Whereupon he began to talk faster and faster. Finally he throw up his hands in despair and cried: "Don't write so fast; I can't keep up with you." One of our readers thinks this is the best dinner story he ever heard: A club was giving a banquet in honor of a prominent politician who had just returned home from a term in the foreign diplomatic service. There were half a dozen or more speeches of welcome and they were all more than usually dry and boresome. Wine flowed freely around the table and several of those present sought surcease from the speeches in their wine. By the time the program got down to where the returned hero was to speak, a dozen or more of the banqueters were considerably in their cups. The honored guest arose to speak, and was greeted with a cheer that shook the room. Some way or other, after that cheer, he never could get some of the guests quieted down again. A half dozen or so of them insisted in talking loudly among themselves. The speaker could scarcely make himself heard. All at once, one man who had had more than enough to drink and had fallen asleep, began to snore loudly. There were ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT LEAVE TEAPOT OIL ALONE—April Sunset Considered from the non-partisan, business standpoint, the leasing and drilling of the Teapot Dome reserve was a grave error. Its output was not needed either by the Navy, the refiners or the consumers; it merely added more crude to a market already oversupplied. Nor should this reserve have been drilled for many years to come provided it could not be depleted by private wells. Though its value in a war emergency is problematical as the war would probably be over before the reserve had a really sizable output, the time will come when fuel oil will sell for three and four dollars a barrel. When that time comes, the taxpayers will be glad to see the Navy produce the bulk of its fuel oil from its own lands at one-third of the current market price. To drill wells on the reserves and produce oil when it isn't worth more than a dollar a barrel, is a foolish policy unless there is danger of losing the oil. And the danger of losing the Teapot Dome oil seems to be remote. POEMS THAT LIVE MY FRIEND SAM Monsieur Samuel Levy Who is my personal clothier, And will not be called a tailor, Put the old tape measure on me About six months ago and made Me a suit of clothes and since I have not been near his place And I don't know what it looks like I have written him twice and asked Him to send me the suit and the Suit somehow does not come to me. He is very anxious for me to have it. And I am very anxious to have it, Clothiers, I find, are suspicious. And I don't know as I blame them If I were a clothier, I would not Send a suit to Morgan unless He had paid something down on it. And this is to notify Bonsleur Levy That I have borrowed the money And that it will be given to the boy Who brings the suit, if he ver does. Sam and I have done business together The honored guest arose to speak, and was greeted with a cheer that shook the room. Some way or other, after that cheer, he never could get some of the guests quieted down again. A half dozen or so of them insisted in talking loudly among themselves. The speaker could scarcely make himself heard. All at once, one man who had had more than enough to drink and had fallen asleep, began to snore loudly. There were laughs, and the speaker looked greatly annoyed. Reaching for his gavel the toastmaster rapped upon the table for some semblance of order. But in his enthusiasm he rapped entirely too hard and the gavel broke in two. One piece bounced across the table and struck the sleeping member squarely on the head. He roused a bit, looked about him, and then shouted: "Hit me again! I can still hear him!" They called it work—but now it's fun.
