URGE VOTERS' ACTIVITY IN POLITICS Greater activity in politics is to be urged upon all citizens by the National Civic Federation. Believing that the party system of government is the best of all, this organization will strive to stimulate interest in support of political parties. It is believed that this is the only way effectively to conserve interest and to check the growing indifference of citizens to the active use of the ballot. The National Civic Federation points out that 30,000,000 qualified American voters did not vote in the general election last November. This startling indifference, it is suggested, may destroy party government in the United States and result in the adoption of the mischievous "group" system which harasses governments in Europe and which might endanger the whole system of government in this country. The efforts to stimulate interest among voters is to be non-partisan. Movements of this kind are to be welcomed. They are needed. Indifference among voters is a menace. It becomes more and more pronounced. Seldom do fifty per cent of the qualified electors vote in any election—national, state or local. The very elements that should vote—the responsible, thinking citizens—offentimes absent themselves from the polls. PARAGRAPH (By Robert Quillen) qualified American voters did not vote in the general election last November. This startling indifference, it is suggested, may destroy party government in the United States and result in the adoption of the mischievous "group" system which harasses governments in Europe and which might endanger the whole system of government in this country. The efforts to stimulate interest among voters is to be non-partisan. Movements of this kind are to be welcomed. They are needed. Indifference among voters is a menace. It becomes more and more pronounced. Seldom do fifty per cent of the qualified electors vote in any election—national, state or local. The very elements that should vote—the responsible, thinking citizens—often times absent themselves from the polls. Consequently elections are not always representative. Movements which would awaken citizens to the perils of such conditions are needed. Science and invention are making the impossible possible. No disaster short of an universal cataclysm could break the spirit of man. This is the time of year when the gopher goes out of his way to help one take care of a garden. Keep California truly advertised before the world. It is important that the streams or promotional publicity never run dry. Nature, at times, is furious and destructive. But tranquility and urbanity of the good old water is the rule. Man has not much to fear from the fury of the elements. Standing steadfast for principle, even in the face of bitter opposition, is one of the best tests of moral courage. And there is no higher form of courage than moral courage. 248 West Center Anaheim 283 East Center Anaheim CHAFFEE'S BREAD Cracked Wheat, Whole Wheat, Graham, Multi-Grain, Rye and White Regular price .... 9c "The Goose Hangs High" PARAGRAPH (By Robert Quilleti) A war isn't over until the boys get back to par.

Fond Memory brings the light Of other days around me: The smiles, the tears, Of boyhood's years. The words of love then spoken; The eyes that shone, Now dimmed and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken. Thus in the stillly night. Ere slumber's chain has bound me. Sad Memory brings the light Of other days around me. When I remember all The friends so linked together I've seen around me fall. Like leaves in wintry weather, I feel like one Who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted, Whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead, And all but me departed. Thus in the stillly night, Ere slumber's chains have bound me. Sad Memory brings the light Of other days around me. Capt. A. B. Randall of the liner Republic tells this story. "A steward," he said, "stood at the gangway of a ship of mine, and as he stood there he kept shouting for the benefit of the arriving passengers: "First-class to the right! Second-class to the left!" daintily aboard with a baby in her arms. As she hesitated before the steward he beat over her and said in his chivalrous way: "First or second?" "Oh" said the girl; her face as read as a rose. "Oh, dear, it's—it's not mine."

Thisbox consists of a wooden frame, as shown inthe detail, with stationary and removablemails driven through the sides to holdanumber of boards set with edges togetherto form V-shaped troughs. The troughsare filled with earth in which the seedsare planted and spaced the same distanceapart as they are to be in the garden.Thebox is then set in a place having the correcttemperature for the growth of theplants. When it is time to transfer them,furrows are dug to receive the earth andplants contained in the troughs. The boxis then set over the rows and the removable nails pulled out. When the frame islifted, the boards swing away and theseedlings are neatly deposited in rows. Thus several short rows can be planted atonce, or one long row by repeatingtheoperation with one trough of theframeat a time.

HOW PRESIDENTS HAVE UTILIZED THE TELEPHONE Grant First to Use Invention—McKinley Heard Nominating Speech by Wire Although the telephone was invented during the administration of President Grant and was introduced in the White House in 1860, it was not until President Harding's administration that the instrument was employed extensively in the transaction of daily routine business. President Harding was a great believer in the telephone as a time saver, and he used often. It was President McKinley, however, who really began the practice of using the telephone in handling important government affairs, but the development of the system in those days was not great enough to allow extensive use as in the present and the previous administrations. President McKinley, however, revelled in the comforts of telephony. From his Canton home he heard by Long Distance Telephone the cheers of the Skipons convention which nominated him, and later he ran the first presidential telephone campaign, keeping in constant touch with his managers in thirty-eight states. President Garfield was the first among American presidents to possess a telephone, one being placed in his house in 1875 while he was still a member of Congress. In one administrations of Cleveland and Harrison there was only one telephone line in the White House, and it is said the President rarely used it. To Roosevelt the telephone was mainly for emergencies, but President Taft found it a great convenience, and also was a frequent user of the Long Distance Service. When Taft was in the White House he introduced one new telephone custom—a Long COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying CHECK HASTY MARRIAGES—San Bernardino Sun In nearly every state some legislation is being sought to marriage more difficult and permanent. It takes various but most frequently the form of requiring delay in the issuance licenses and public notice of them. The effort is to shelt of I-dare-you marriage, the booze marriage, the silly romantic way marriage, the fake marriage, the automobile party marry the marriage of those under age without their parents' consent all others which should not be consummated and which might prevent by such a delay and publication requirements. By measure as that is under consideration at Sacramento, and been attacked by persons of the wide open persuasion, those do not believe in restrictions of any sort on human action. The county clerk of San Francisco has filed a written comment against the bill, his chief contention being that it would vent a number of marriages of persons who have misbehaved should marry to save reputations or legitimize children, all accommodate travelers, who should have been married before left home. The baby argument is the only one worth consider. The rest is but merely the sacrificing of the common welfare for protection of wrongdoing. Occasionally there is a sickbed marriage, where delay would work a hardship on persons of perfectly proper behavior, but these are rare and there are unfavorable exceptions to the operation of any rigid rule of law. The rights of the many must take precedence over those of the few. It is the general opinion of judges that, were there less辛勤 and poorly considered marriages, there would be less broken homes and divorces, less children living in the wrong sort of atmosphere for the creation of good citizens. Children unfavorably affected by divorce must far quitnumber those whose legitimacy might be prevented by a delay of five days in issuing a license. Something must be done to preserve the sanctity of marriage and the home; for upon this rests "all the law and the prophet" of civilization. No nation can trifle with them and not degenerate spiritually and thus both morally and physically. That road leads to national decay and extinction. HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" FRUITS (Continued) ACID FRUITS CONTINUED. Under no circumstances should grapefruit or orange juice, or lemonade be taken preceding a meal or any closer than two hours before eating. PLUMS are a strong acid fruit and make an agreeable fruit lunch. Eat as many as desired in place of any other food, and drink a glass or two of water. CHERRIES contain more iron and blood building properties than any other fruit which can be found in the market. As with all of the other acid fruits they should be used by themselves, or in combination with SWEET MILK. There is a false belief that the combination of cherries and milk is particularly harmful, but a little experimentation will reveal the fact that this is not true.

As with all of the other acid fruits they should be used by themselves, or in combination with SWEET MILK. There is a false belief that the combination of cherries and milk is particularly harmful, but a little experimentation will reveal the fact that this is not true, and that the combination seems to be perfect. Of course, if broad, or any other starch, is added, fermentation will set up quickly as the acid of the cherries is very strong and no kind of starch should at any time be mixed with the fruit, whether the cherries be in the raw, canned or cooked state. When the child comes home from school, after stopping off on the way and eating cherries or green apples, and in then gren bread and butter and milk by his mother, you may expect intense stomach cramps, as such a combination of food-stuffs is probably the very worst that could be put together. The trouble, however, is caused by the bread being added to what otherwise would have been a perfect combination. The acid of cherries assists in the digestion of the milk, so that the two together are digested much rapidly than if the sweet milk were used alone. (To be continued.)

Phone 20 At the World Is Doing (As Seen by Popular Mechanics Magazine) Air-Propelled Boat Steered by Swinging Motor Shallow water and quantities of rubbish that made the operation of a screw-propelled boat impractical did not defeat a California rancher when he decided to use the Colorado river to haul his produce to market twenty miles from his farm. He built a flat-bottomed, barge-shaped boat, fifty-five feet long, with a beam of nine feet, and at the stern mounted a ninety-horsepower airplane motor and eight-foot propeller to drive the craft. The steering problem was surmounted by placing the engine assembly on a pivot with two pneumatic tires to support the weight of the fuelage and the fuel tank of fifty gallons' capacity. The boat is guided by simply turning the engine and propeller with a steering wheel operated by the pilot who commands an unobstructed view of the river from his seat and is protected by a glass windshield. If the barge gets stuck on a shallbar, the motor can be swung entirely around to pull the boat loose. Speed of from seven to eight miles an hour upstream grasped a current of six miles an hour and a rate of about twenty-five miles down the course are said to be the usual performance of the engine. The owner is planning to install a 220 horsepower motor and a larger propeller to reduce the time required to get his goods to the stores. With the smaller outfit, he can carry five tons at once on the barge, in the building of which he spent about two months. Windows and mirrors can be cleaned effectively with thin, cold shark, which is wiped off with a soft cloth after being allowed to dry thoroughly.
