FARMERS ARE THRIVING IN GRAIN BELT The tide of prosperity is rolling across the grain belt of the United States. The farmers are due to derive great material benefit from the increased prices of the leading cereals, including wheat, corn, oats and rice. Cotton and other farm products have advanced too. It is estimated that fully $2,000, 000,000 has been added to the total of farm valuations. It has been said that the speculators, not the farmers, are deriving the gains from this advance in farm prices. But the farmer is sure to benefit very largely. A great deal of grain and livestock is being put on the market directly from the farmer. The good effect of the conditions in grain-growing countries beyond the borders of the United States are being felt. There are serious crop shortages in wide areas. The American farmer comes into the breach, in the dearths, and finds a ready market for his produce. There are indications that the crops which are coming to harvest will bring the farmers very substantial returns. All in all, the outlook is much brighter throughout the great agrarian region of this country. RED CROSS DOING MUCH RELIEF WORK The American Red Cross is doing more relief work in more different fields this year, than ever before in the same period of time. Thirty-five localities, in the last six months, have drawn upon the noble organization for assistance due to floods, tornadoes, explosions, fires and epidemics in the United States RED CROSS DOING MUCH RELIEF WORK The American Red Cross is doing more relief work in more different fields this year, than ever before in the same period of time. Thirty-five localities, in the last six months, have drawn upon the noble organization for assistance due to floods, tornadoes, explosions, fires and epidemics in the United States and earthquakes in foreign lands. The world-wide character of the work done by the American Red Cross is denoted by this diversity of relief extended to different localities on both sides of the world. Wherever there is disaster, there the Red Cross exerts itself. There is no distinction as to country, race or creed. All the Red Cross asks is, Is any locality in distress and in need of assistance? Whether it be in Ohio, or China; in Minnesota or Japan; in Oregon or Peru, the helping hand is extended promptly, generously, efficiently. Rushing the EXTRAS to the newsies— Probably the only type of automotive equipment that is driven harder than a fire engine is the truck or auto that delivers the papers to the newsies and newsstands. It's worth noting that Zerolene "stands up" in this sort of service as well as in all others. The Business Manager of the "Spokesman-Review," of Spokane, Wash., writes as follows: "For more than ten years we have continued to use Zerolene oils and greases in our sixteen cars and trucks and three motorcycles. These carry our papers every day in the year over all sorts of roads in all kinds of weather, and may be classed as very hard service." all others.

Why pay tribute to the superstition that "eastern" oil is "better" just because it costs more? Zerolene, made by our patented high-vacuum process from selected Western Naphthenic Base Crude, deposits less carbon, increases the gasoline mileage of your car, and lengthens its working life. Insist on Zerolene—a better oil—even if it does cost less. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (CALIFORNIA) This booklet reports independent service tests of Zerolene made by a number of large users.

ABE MARTIN POST OFFIS POEMS THAT LIVE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER I know a place where the sun is like gold. And the cherry blossoms burst with snow. And down underneath is the loveliest nook. Where the four-leaf clovers grow. One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith. And one is for love, you know, And God put another in for luck, If you search, you will find where they grow. But you must have hope, and you must have faith. You must have love and be strong—and so, If you work, if you wait, you will find the place. Where the four-leaf clovers grow. —Ella Higginson. PARTING Too fair, I may not call the mine: Too dear, I may not see Those eyes with bridal beacons shine; Yet, Darling, keep for me— Empty and hushed, and safe apart, One little corner of thy heart. Thou wilt be happy, dear! and bless Thee: happy mayst thou be, I would not make thy pleasures less; Yet, Darling, keep for me— My life to light, my lot to leaven, One little corner of thy Heaven. Good-by, dear heart! I go to dwell A weary way from thee; Our first kiss is our last farewell; Yet, Darling, keep for me— Who wanders outside in the night—One little corner of thy light. —Gerald Massey.

"My dear woman," protects the doctor in alarm, "let me mind you that a doctor prescribes medicine, but he doesn't fail." Thus, seeking to be kind fraternity, but at the same perfectly honest. If we make takes, we may still comfort ourselves with the assurance his Irish Catholic servant expressed to Bishop Whateley.

Center St. Anaheim WHOS WHO IN THE DAY NEWS CLAUDE MONET Falling eyesight may bring to a close the career of the great French painter, Claude Monet, who at the age of 84 continues to paint every day. Monet is still strong and hearty, only his eyeight, he declares, prevents him from working as much as ever. The great French painter was born in Paris, November 14, 1840. In his youth he met with great struggle when he began experimenting with broken colour and painting atmospheric effects according to science of light and shade. He was the first man to paint real sunlight, and his method has been imitated ever since by followers of the impressionistic school of landscape. A few years ago an American offered Monet $3,000,000 for the 50 paintings he made of his garden. This offer was refused, the great man instead presenting the entire collection to the French nation. A museum specially to house his gift is now being built. Today a Claude Monet brings a higher price than the work of any other living painter in France, and one may possibly say, in the world, Monet lives in complete retirement in his beautiful home at overyn, near Paris, jealously guarding his domain from the invasion of all reporters, critics and photographers. The only people permitted to his sanctuary are his new intimate friends among whom are Gillianmin, the painter, and George Clemenceau, the statesman.

This inter-city co-operative enterprise is unquestionably going to be a big economic and operative success, and it points the way to a joint auxiliary electric light and power plant for Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton at least in which other towns might join, with mutual advantage. This is not to say that the cities of Orange County should go into the business of generating and distributing electric energy—that is an engineering and economic problem yet to be solved—but if any, or several of our cities do go into such business, the co-operative plan strongly commends itself to our serious consideration. Certainly if we should ever go into municipal ownership as a complete substitute for private ownership light and power service, we ought to do it co-operatively. Electric energy could be transmitted from a central plant to all parts of the country at a cost that would be nominal as compared with the saving effected in the cost and operation of a single big plant instead of a half dozen small plants. In this respect Orange County is exceptional. It is small, compact and comparatively densely populated. It has at least six good sized cities located within a radius of about thirty miles—Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Or leaving out Newport Beach and Huntington Beach we have five cities of a combined population, including intervening territory, of at least 60,000, located within a radii of about fifteen miles—from the northern city limits of Fullerton and Placentia to the Southern city limits of Santa Ana and Tustin—with nearly all of the intervening territory densely populated (as farm territory goes) with power users. Again, and of course the basic question to be considered is: shall we go into the power and light business, either in an emergency or auxiliary way, or as a complete substitute for private ownership? But if that question should be decided in the affirmative the question as to cooperative or joint plants is answered in the affirmative by the physical and economic facts of the case. STATE'S DUTY TO DEFECTIVES—San Bernardino Sun The Los Angeles grand jury has discovered that there are 40 homes in that county similar to the one at Playa del Rey which burned with the appalling loss of the lives of 24 children. The grand jury telegraphed the governor the "deplorable condition affecting the welfare of the indigent mentally deficient children of the southern part of the state" and appealed for state action to remedy the situation. And in his newspaper, the Redlands Facts, former State Senator Lyman M. King, whose state duties gave him an insight into STATE'S DUTY TO DEFECTIVES—San Bernardino Sun The Los Angeles grand jury has discovered that there are 40 homes in that county similar to the one at Playa del Rey which burned with the appalling loss of the lives of 24 children. The grand jury telegraphed the governor the "deplorable condition affecting the welfare of the indigent mentally deficient children of the southern part of the state" and appealed for state action to remedy the situation. And in his newspaper, the Redlands Facts, former State Senator Lyman M. King, whose state duties gave him an insight into the situation, raised the question of the measure of responsibility which the state itself must face in the terrible fire. The state house for mentally deficient children in Sonoma county has had a waiting list for years. "The children in the home at Playa del Rey would have been in a fireproof state home if the state had met its obligation to provide necessary quarters," says the former senator. He relates that the deficiency was sought to be solved with the establishment of the Pacific colony near Pomona. Under the economy plan however, this institution was never built. The result—40 private so-called institutions housed in Fire-trap. Thus, seeking to be kind andternah but at the same timefectly honest. If we make mistakes, we may still comfort ourselves with the assurance which Irish Catholic servant once pressed to Bishop Whately. "Do you really believe," he asked her, "that there is no salvation outside of the Roman Catholic church!" "Shure, an' I do," she replied, or that's what the prairie sea." "Well, then what is going to come of me?" "Oh, that's all right," she answered, with an Irish twinkle in eyes. "Yer riverence will be used by yer ignorance." Alec walked four miles over the mountain to call on the lady of dreams. For a long time they silent on a bench by the side her log cabin home; but soon moon, as moons do, had itsect and Alee sidled closer to and picked up her hand. "Mary," he began, "yknow I a good clearin' over thar an' cam an' wagon an' some hawgs cows, an, I call late on buildin' rouge this fall an—" Here he was interrupted by Mary's mother, who had akened. "Mary!" she called in a loud voice. "Is that young man thar" Back came the answer, "No, but he's gittin' thar."
