Hesler Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Sorrow makes the atmosphere of the soul so transparent that far-away things of eternity, that are usually unseen when all is well, become distinctly visible—Hugh MacMillan. NATIVE SONS FEWER IN CALIFORNIA California's Native Sons are decreasing in numbers, relatively, with the laps of the years. They number now only 37 per cent of the state's population. Twenty years ago they numbered 45 per cent. The largest percentage of Native Sons, it is interesting to note, are in Mendocino and Humbolt counties. The streams of migration from other states have not touched those counties much as yet. Relative decrease in the number of Native Sons is the logical result of California's swift development and gain in population. The virile ranks of the Native Sons are not declined, however. They are here in great numbers, and their influence is felt strongly and wholesomely in the life and activities of the state. Illinois has sent the greatest number of its sons and daughters to California to live. This will be surprising to many—many who have thought that Iowa bore this distinction. Iowa is not even second, Colorado having that distinction. There are 140,000 former residents of Illinois now living in this state. Many of the old commonwealths have contributed great numbers of their residents—notably Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and the New England states. And here is an inspiring example of "the melting pot" working effectively. Come they from whatever state they may, these new residents soon become loyal Californians. Radio is wonderful today.

Now if only we could pass a law excluding the Japs from the next war. As a general thing the real boss in the family is the one that does the most whining. Feminine wardrobe: A few odds and ends added to a collection of stockings. Temptation is no disgrace. The devil never bothers to tempt those who belong to him. The trouble with modern youth seems to be too much aspiration without enough perspiration. Our guess is that vulcanizing was discovered by studying a movie kins. We shall be glad to turn our back on machine politics if somebody will show us some other kind.

POEMS THAT LIVE SWEET AND SOUR Sweet is the rose, but grows upon a brier; Sweet is the juniper, but sharp his bough; Sweet is the eglantine, but pricketh near; Sweet is the fir-bloom, but his branches rough; Sweet is the cypress, but his rind is tough; Sweet is the nut, but bitter is his pill; Sweet is the bloom-flower, but yet sour enough; And sweet is moly, but his root is ill; So every sweet with sour is tempered still. That maketh it be coveted the more; For easy things, that may be got at will, Most sorts of men do set but little store. Why then should I account of little pain, That endless pleasure shall unto me gain? Edmund Spencer.

If you'll spend your quinine money for screens you won't have to spend your screen money for quinine. Another need of the times is an ample reward for the invention of a new word to call the umpire. Oddly enough, when a second-story worker is arrested they never ask him which party he belongs to. They have executed generals, colonels and majors of the rebel army in Mexico, but the private is still at large. Man has his weaknesses, but he doesn't try on three smaller sizes before resigning himself to a shoe that fills. Lives there a man with soul so dead, who never to his friend has said: "Have them cut out or you'll be dead." At times it would be difficult to pick out the important citizens if bad manners hadn't been invented. A man is handicapped. Even if he feels that way, he is ashamed to describe a thing as "perfectly dering." The hard thing about bedtime stories is to make those simple enough for the younger ones to understand and risque enough for the older ones to enjoy. Correct this sentence: "I'd quit smoking in a minute," said he. "If I thought it wasn't good for me." If you'll raise up the window and roll up the shade, you'll find the mistake the architect made. We fear not the occasional handout. It's the habitual over-indulgence that raises our blood pressure. SATURDAY, MAY TENTH, 1924 Subscription Rate—To N. Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DINNER STORIES The girl who had been promoted from the chorus to a small part was greatly pleased with herself. But not so the rest of the chorus, who were, of course, consumed with jealousy. At the rehearsal the producer said "good" after she and spoken her lines, and after that there was no holding her. "At the rehearsal I was letter perfect," she informed the girl. "So you see, my dearest, there's one consolation—I knew my words." And the minx of the company inquired maliciously: "What! Both of them?" Way down East in New Hampshire, they tell the story of the curious Yankee. Riding to town he encountered a one-armed horseman, and rode with him. The Yankee began a cross fire of prying questions. Finally the one-armed stranger lost his patience. "My friend," he said, "I'll answer one more question and no more." "All right," replied the Yankee, "how did you lose your arm?" "It was bit off," replied the stranger. They rode for a mile in silence before the Yankee remarked: "I'd give two dollars to know what hit it off." Down in Kentucky they tell about a fire-eating colonel who received a letter which consumed him with rage. This was his reply: Str.:—My stenographer, being a lady, cannot transcribe what I think of you. I, being a gentleman, cannot write it. But you, being neither, will doubtless understand what I mean." Country editors are supposed A few hundred years before the Freudians began to read our complexes in our dreams, Montaligne, in one of his essays confessed "I believe it to be true that Dreams are the true Interpreters of our Incinations; but there is Art required to sort and understand them." A century later Pascal, Galilee philosopher, advanced the idea that— "If we dreamt the same thing every night, it would effect us as much as the objects we see every day. And if an artisan were sure to dream every night for twelve hours' duration that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king, who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was an artisan." "If we were to dream every night that we were pursued by enemies, and harassed by these painful phantoms, or that we passed every day in different occupations as waking a voyage, we should suffer almost as much as if it were real, and should fear sleep, as we fear to wake when we dread in fact to enter on such mishaps. And indeed, it would cause pretty nearly the same discomforts as the reality. But since dreams are all different, and each single one is diversified, what is seen in them affects us much less than what we see when awake, because of its continuity, which is not, however, so continuous and level as not to change too; but it changes less abruptly, except rarely, as when we travel, and then we say, 'It seems to me I am dreaming.'" "For life is a dream a little less consistent." ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE By Bicknell Young, C. S.
