RICE PRODUCTION BIG IN CALIFORNIA California has won distinction in another field of production—in its rice crop. From 1917 to 1921 this state produced more than one-sixth of the total annual rice crop of the United States and this was achieved on less than one-eighth of the total acreage. The yield per acre in this state is considerably above the yield in other states which produce big quantities of rice. The history of rice-growing on commercial scale in California covers a period of only twelve years. The first commercial crop was grown in 1912 in the Sacramento valley, near Biggs. The biggest crop was produced in 1920—a total of 3,720,000 bushels, grown on 162,000 acres. It has been demonstrated that this state can produce large crops of rice of good quality. The industry, however, is dependent largely upon the price of rice and marketing conditions. The time is coming when airships in the air will be as numrous as Fords on terra firma. U. S.

SUPREME IN DOMESTIC AFFAIRS The United States reserves to itself full and absolute control over its own domestic affairs, Secretary of State Hughes warns the world. This country would not tolerate submitting any domestic question "to the determination of any group of powers." This question voices the sentiment of the American people, without doubt. The issue was raised at the recent general meeting of the League of Nations. Japan brought this issue to the front and pushed it, basing its course, according to common belief, upon the action of the United States in excluding Japanese from this country. This right to host and control immigration is domestic and the United States would not surrender it to any power or group of powers. The United States is ready to submit to arbitration international questions in which it may be party to a dispute—questions arising under this country's treaties or under international law. But in dealing with its own domestic questions, this country holds to its rights to determine its own policies. Mr. Hughe's Indianapolis speech will become memorable, because of this clearcut expression of the attitude of the United States on this issue of world-wide importance. This speech is notice to the world that the United States intends to handle its own domestic affairs in its own way, and will brook no interference with this absolute right. Honesty is the kingliest of all virtues in every day life. There's a Teddy Roosevelt in politics today—which means that there is streuosity and an excitement. The people should mark for overthrow the candidate or the party that does not keep pledges faithfully. Think first—then speak or act. The great follies and blunders of life come from speaking or acting before thinking. Every Parent Loves his children Tonight, daddy, take a package of WRIGLEY'S to the kiddies.

It takes three generations to make a gentleman or a Nordic. In election year static is a relief at times. It isn't platitudinous. You never hear of a cheerful winner having a nervous breakdown.

O, Autumn, laden with fruit and stained With blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou mayest rest And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe. And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers. William Blake. AUTUMN I saw old Autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening To silence, for no lonely bird DINNER STORIES They were raw recruits that the sergeant was trying to knock into shape. Very, very raw, he called them, and something else as well, as you may guess, if you know anything about sergeants. On this occasion they were being instructed in the use of the rifle. They fired at 1000 yds' range and missed the target altogether. Then at 890 yards, with the same result. By easy stages the distance was reduced to 30 yards, but still not a shot got home. At last the patience of their instructor was exhausted. "Fix bayonets," he ordered. "Charge! It's your only hope!" Walter Frith, the painter, delighted to go behind the scenes of the theatre and chat with the scene-shifters. One of them appeared very intelligent, and Mr. Frith asked him if he had ever himself been a player. Of course he had; he had played in 'Amlick—he had, indeed, acted the chief part." "Very interesting," said Mr. Frith; "please tell me what is your conception of Hamlet's relation to Ophelia. Did he, so to speak, love her not wisely but too well?" "I don't know, sir if 'Amlick did, but I did," was the unblushing answer. After the evening performance, the members of the chorus were talking together in the dressing room. "I had a long chat with the leading lady tonight," said one of them, in important tones. "Did you?" replied her friend; "and what did she have to talk about?" "Oh,' went on the first "she said. If you must keep sniffing during my big song, for goodness sake sniff quietly." The charge will be 15 cents one way or 25 cents the roundtrip.

THOMSON It’s mostly those who sit and stew That are the victims of the “flu.” Dope for the cold is dough for the doctor. More people die from overeating than from starvation. There’s safety in switches, But the safest of all Is a snap button switch In your bathroom wall. To treat the infirmities that occur past 40, begin at 20. Heat with gas stoves all you please, Use precaution when you do; If you heat with such as these, Pipe your gas fumes to your flue, Beneath my snail foot, save thou mayest rest And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe, And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers. William Blake. AUTUMN I saw old Autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening To silence, for no lonely bird would sing Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn, Nor lowly hedge nor solitary thorn; Shaving his languid locks all dewy bright, With tangled gossamer than fell by night. Pearling his coronet of golden corn. —Thomas Hood There's no use in talking, The habit of walking. Boats riding in swell limpuses; The truth of the matter, The leans would get fatter.

EDUARD BENES Dr. Eduard Benes, foreign minister of Czecho-Slovakia, father of the Little Entente and master builder of the arbitration and security protocol in the League of Nations, is the ablest of the youngest statesmen of the new Europe. Like Trotsky on the left of him, and like Mussolini on the right of him, Benes is a realist statesman, but he is pursuing the middle course. Like Lenin and Trotsky and like Mussolini, he is an outgrowth of the world war. Lenin and Trotsky assumed the dictatorship of the proletariat when the Russian masses had become exhausted from the war; Mussolini made himself dictator of Italy by force when the Italian masses were drifting to chaos in the war's aftermath, dissatisfied with the older statesmen and leaders; Benes, the disciple of the idealist Masaryk, worked during the war for the restoration of his own nation, and has worked ever since then for the rehabilitation of Europe. His Little Entente met with criticism and resistance at first, but it has shown signs of life and has encouraged harmony rather than strife among the smaller nations. Now the eyes of the world are focused on Eduard Benes and his reconstruction plan for the promotion of durable peace through the League of Nations. Has Genius and Courage Benes is daring picturesque, constructive, practical. Even his enemies admit his courage and his genius. Professor Masaryk in Masaryk in Washington and Eduard Benes in Paris really created Czecho-Slovakia during the war and at the Peace Conference. Their eloquent pleas and their forceful arguments won to their cause the allied statesmen, and particularly the deep sympathies of President Wilson and Colonel House. On Oct. 14, 1918, when the first provisional cabinet was formed, with Professor Masaryk COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying From Sacramento Bee The biggest railroad merger ever contemplated is in progress. A consolidation of the Great Northern, Burlington, and Northern Pacific railroads has progressed so far that detailed plans are in preparation. This would give into the keeping of one single system all the railroad transportation of the northern belt of states and all the transcontinental routes from Chicago to Seattle and Portland lying north of the lines of the Union and Central Pacific. Such a consummation only a few years ago would have been looked upon with horror and would have been universally condemned. A score of years ago what is known as the Scott anti-monopoly law was enacted to prevent just such combinations of corporations. Only a short while ago the Southern Pacific had to fight that law to prevent its system being torn apart, on the ground that it had no right under that law to absorb a competing system. Yet here we have three great systems, built and operated competitively, combining to eliminate competition, and doing it under the sanction of the government. Something new about the transportation problem was learned during the war. When McAdoo was given control of all the roads he began to operate them as a single system, routing freight over the most convenient route, regardless of former lines of traffic. The result was relief of congestion, and a change from the old conditions of some lines overcrowded with traffic and others running empty trains. While there was developed much that was not excellent nor efficient in government operation of transportation lines at least this one thing was learned. We know now that railroad can be operated more cheaply in great systems and give better service than they can on the independent competitive basis. For this reason the railroads have been notified by Congress to get together in large systems under combinations arranged by the interstate commerce commission, and that body has been given power to control such union. That is why these three great railroads are making a voluntary combination. Other combinations are also in progress. Railroad managers feel that a reduction in rates is coming regardless of their ability to operate profitably under lower schedules. The farmers are demanding it and they are given sympathetic support everywhere. It is, therefore, a matter of self-defense for the roads to get together in great systems lower operation and other costs, and thus able to get along on a reduced schedule of rates. There is in prospect not only lower rates, but greater efficiency of service. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE A scientific interest and a poetic one alike inspire us in this matter, says Carlyle (in an essay "Biography." He explains: "A scientific—because every mortal has a problem of the Exis constructive, practical. Even his enemies admit his courage and his genius. Professor Masaryk in Masaryk in Washington and Eduard Benca in Paris really created Czecho-Slovakia during the war and at the Peace Conference, Their eloquent pleas and their forceful arguments won to their cause the allied statesmen, and particularly the deep sympathies of President Wilson and Colonel House. On Oct. 14, 1918, when the first provisional cabinet was formed, with Professor Masaryk and General Stefanik at its head, Benca was entrusted with the portfolio of the ministry of foreign affairs, of the Czecho-Slovakia republic, which he has held ever since. During the peace conference Benca, with Masaryk, headed the Czecho-Slovakia delegation. He returned to Prague in 1919, and his nomination for the post of minister of foreign affairs was ratified. In 1921 he was entrusted with the formation of a new cabinet, of which he became the premier. PLAN TO ORGANIZE BROTHERHOOD A big banquet at the First Presbyterian church at Fullerton is announced for this evening by J. L. Parker who has charge of the arrangements. Mr. Parker said that efforts are being made to organize a Fullerton men's brotherhood composed of men from all denominations. Prof. Freeman of Pasadena is to be the chief speaker. An invitation is extended to Anaheimens to attend. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE A scientific interest and a poetic one alike inspire us in this matter, says Carlyle (in an essay "Biography.") He explains: "A scientific—because every mortal has a problem of the Existence set before him which were it only what for most it is, the Problem of keeping soul and body together, must be to a certain extent original, unlike every other; and yet, at the same time, like every other; like our own, therefore: instructive, morgover since we are indented to live. "A poetic interest still more—for precisely this same struggle of human Freewill against material Necessity which every man's Life by the mere circumstance that the man continues alive, will more or less victoriously exhibit,—is that which above all else, or rather inclusive of all else, calls the Sympathy of moral heart into action; and whether as acted, or as represented and written of, not only is Poetry, but is the sole Poetry possible. "Borne towards by which two all-embracing interests may the earnest Lover of Biography expand himself on all sides, and indefinitely enrich himself. "Looking with the eyes of every new neighbor, he can discern a new world different for each; feeling with the heart of every neighbor, he lives with every neighbor's life, even as with his own. "Of these millions of living men, each individual is a mirror to us; a mirror both scientific and poetic; or, if you will, both natural and magical;—from which one would so gladly draw aside the sauce veil; and peering therein, discern the image of his own natural face, and the supernatural secrets that prophetically lie under the same! He believed that an historic sense means a sense so culture that, in valuing the deserts and merits of its own time, it take account also of the past."
