EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The unrest of this weary world is its unvoiced cry after God.—Theodore T. Munger. SOUTHWEST IS ON EVE OF TREMENDOUS PROSPERITY Harvesting one of the most fortuitous wheat crops in the history of the great Southwest is in full swing today. Given two weeks of fairly good working weather, and the farmers face the almost definite certainty of clearing up their enormous indebtedness, which has been a burden for the past few years, while the bankers of the agricultural sections see a brilliant opportunity of regaining the sound financial status they enjoyed before the gloomy days of depression set in, shortly after the resumption of peace. While wheat acreage in the great growing states of the Southwest is reported about 20 per cent smaller than last year, the crop is expected to be much greater, owing to the excellent maturing conditions during the growing period. Neither does the present low scale of prices carry much fear for the farmer, for the heavy yield on the higher area sown will more than take care of the difference between last and this year's prices. The Texas cotton planter Is in a rapidly improving financial condition, while the wheat crop in that state, a bumper one, is already garnered and in storage. Oklahoma is a bee hive of harvesting today.- A yield of 7,000,000 bushels greater than in 1922 is reported., In Kansas, the fields are groaning with wealth,ipe for the reapers. It is said that 10,000,000 acres will produce an average of 13 bushels to the acre this year. God hasten the day when every great battleship, with its weaponry of death and destruction, may be dismantled, and peace and security may reign throughout the earth! cimal condition, while the wheat crop in that state, a bumper one, is already garnered and in storage.

Gaston Doumergue, has had a brilliant political career. He steps into the presidency of the republic from the president's chair in the senate. He belongs to the Democratic "left wing." Beginning as a colonial judge, he next became deputy from Nimes. He entered the Combes cabinet as minister of commerce and held the same portfolio in the Sarrien and Clemenceau ministries. In the Briand cabinet, in 1909, he was minister of instruction. He had been a senator since 1910, when he was elected from the department of Gard, and from Dec. 8, 1912, to June 2, 1914, he was premier. A Little Talk on Thrift By S. W. STRAUS (President American Society for Thrift) It is well that the subject of thrift be kept constantly before the public. This does not mean that there should be a continual exhortation to save money. What it does mean is that too much general attention cannot be given to methods of wise spending, economy, efficiency and elimination of waste, as well as sensible saving. To this end a conference soon will be held in Washington-of representatives of various groups and organizations interested in thrift. had has om dances divinely young pee shiny hair, the same with will make their The wild ride's parents.

The feeling that makes present a "No Admittance" also may be democracy, but more probably it is curiosity. A resort is a place where everybody's attitude indicates the belief that you are a small-town cashier trying to conceal it. In these decadent times a king doesn't have much to do, except give his blessing to the faction that happens to be on top. Another thing hard to understand is why a tire that is fixing to blow out knows just when you have on white pants. The class of immigrants that settled this country isn't the one that now so frequently wishes to settle at 20 cents on the dollar. In every nation there are people ignorant enough to be inflamed by another nation's policy that doesn't mean anything to them. There may be few rich men in jail, but if one has sense enough to get rich why should he monkey around and get in jail?

This does not mean that there should be a continual exhortation to save money. What it does mean is that too much general attention cannot be given to methods of wise spending, economy, efficiency and elimination of waste, as well as sensible saving. To this end a conference soon will be held in Washington-of representatives of various groups and organizations interested in thrift. A little less than nine years ago a conference was held on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific exposition in San Francisco. The meeting which was called the International Congress for Thrift, resulted in the formation of plans for the introduction of thrift teachings in the schools of America. Today thousands of our boys and girls are being given classroom instructions on the thrift as the direct result of that conference. The good thus accomplished has been beyond calculation. Teach thrift. Talk thrift. Preach thrift. But let it be the thrift of progress and upbuilding, not the so-called thrift of avarice and selfishness. The correct use of time, energy, thought and money are vastly more important than the mere function of saving money. To the thrifty is to thrive in the truest and most comprehensive sense. We are assured that the pending Washington conference will seek to find means by which various important organizations can co-operate to the end of encouragement of this kind. The serious consideration of these matters by a group of public spirited men and women situated by sincere aspirations will result in a tremendous impetus to thrift education in America. This conference will, for these reasons, be the most important out of the kind since the inten-thrift activities of war days.

Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter DINNER STORIES A number of a certain club in New York who had the reputation of being a terrible bore was sitting alone in a chair one night with a hurt expression on his face, when an old member, taking compassion on him, sauntered up to him and said: "What's the matter? You look worried." "I'm not worried. I've been insulted. A chap came up to me just now and offered me $200 if I would resign. Think of that. What shall I do about it?" The other man thought for a moment, then said: "If I were you, I'd hold out for a better offer." "I bet," remarked Hank, "that by the time Bill's wife got thru with him for takin' that $3000 out of the savin's bank an' going an' spending it for them 40,000 shares of fake oil stock poor ol' Bill wished he hadn't tried to be a high financier." "Oh, Bill's wife didn't raise any rumpas over that transaction," said young George, who lodges in Bill's home. "But my wife hear her," asserted Hank. "But that jawing wasn't being given because Bill had bought the oil stock," explained young George. "It was because Bill was paying five dollars a year for a box in a safe-deposite vanit to keep the oil stock in." SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON Walking, rowing, swimming, golf; Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying LURE OF THE OUTDOORS—Santa Ana Register Grown-ups who once read "Alice in Wonderland" may recall the breathless run which Alice was forced to take, dragged along by a Queen who clutched her hand and cried, "Faster, faster!" When they stopped, breathless and exhausted, Alice discovered that they were just where they had been before the frantle run began. When she asked about this odd fact the Queen explained that it was necessary to run that fast just to keep their position and that they'd have to run ever so much faster if they wanted to go anywhere else. Spring, with its outdoor lure, brings to many a troubled spirit, greater sympathy with the bewildered Alice. With woods and fields and brooks and birds and flowers and sunshine all attracting poor human beings to invite their souls in some lovely quiet spot, one is sometimes moved to wonder why they can't drop things and answer the call. But somehow or other they must keep on rushing along at furious pace just to maintain their respective footholds in the community, and the community must rush along to maintain its place in the larger civilized world. An immediate simplification of living would be a great boon to many a family. Fewer magazines to look over, leaving more time for good books; fewer long motor trips into the country, with more delving into the nearest park or woods that shelter nesting birds and wildflowers; fewer social engagements and more social intercourse with true friends—these things would do any family or in dividual or community a world of good. "But that jawing wasn't being given because Bill had bought the oil stock," explained young George. "It was because Bill was paying five dollars a year for a box in a safe-deposit vanit to keep the oil stock in." SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F.
