eastern extremity of the Firth OF

the largest battleships, and arming il
with the most powerful devices of
twentieth century warfare, until today
it is the most important, as well as
the strongest, of all Great Britain's

tance of the German coast, it may
almost be said to command the en-

Germany as a menace to the Teuton

A Mans Breakfast
Is THE IMPORTANT
MEAL OF THE DAY

After night of refreshing repose,
quick bath and a good breakfast, a
man is what may be termed "fit"--
he is in form" for the days duties,
however preplexing they may be. But
gocd breakfast does not mean that
he must eat heavy foods, far from it.
A dish of oatmeal, properly pre-
pared and served steaming hot with
sugar and cream, topped off with an
egg and maybe a little fruit, with q
cup of his favorite Mocha and Java,
is a breakfast that will put a man in
the best possible trim for the days
work or play.
But in oatmeal, as in everything
else, there is one best, and that one
is H-O Oatmeal; made from carefully
selected white oats, steam-cooked at
the mill for more than two hours,
then rolled into flakes and packed in
air tight, moisture-proof packages.
H-0 is perfectly balanced" food
for every member of the family; and
is especially recommended for grow
ing children. H-O Oatmeal contains
protein; which builds brain, bone and
flesh; and fat and carbohydrates
which supply heat and energy. For
sale by leading grocers everywhere.
Accept no substitutes.

Rules of War.

Japan Daily Mail, Oct. 20: With
the editorial comment of the New
York Times ON Japan's observance of
the Jules of war no impartial OBJ
server can fail to be in complete
| agreement. Numerous instances are
recorded of japanese chivalry on the
field of battle which delighted, not
only Japan's opponents, but also her
neighbors. The standard set for the
conduct of the army was, indeed, as
high as that for its efficiency, and
in each case realization of that stan
dard won for Japan her place among
the great powers. Her conduct in
the resent war, even though the OPP
erations in themselves have been COM
paratively small, has served to show
her scrupulous anxiety to maintain
that honorable reputation. 1t may
truly be said that her observance of
the spirit and letter of The Hague
conventions "may be commended as
an example to the western family of
nations" 1t is not necessary to be-
lieve everything that we are told in
order TO feel convinced that in Europe
today the Germans are violating, not
only treaties, but rules dictated By
humanity on grounds which should
surely be of m~e potent influence
than technical agreement. We do not
suggest for a moment that their ex-
ample should be generally followed.
The Allies had far better win no
victories at all than include among
their successes" the rout of un-
armed peasants and the murder of
women and children. But in respect
of combatants it is clear that the
Allied Powers are gradually coming
/ round to the view that, in the last
! extremity, the Germans will have tc
| be fought with their own weapons
Considerations of humanity are out

/ ed in the battle off Heligoland. Oul
respect for the Red Cross is laughed
at and taken advantage of by thc
enemy. There can only be one suit
able punishment, absolute ahnihilatioy
/ for those detected in such abuse OF
their opponents observance of thc
rules of war. All that is necessary
is that stern measures should not bt
delayed so long that they fail to Sc
cure the end for which the war i!

WOMEN'S SESSION
CLOSED YESTERDAY

Santa Ana, Nov. 13.-The thirteenth
annual convention of the Southern
District Federation of Women's Clubs
closed yesterday after one of its most
successful meetings.
Mrs. Lillian Pray-Palmer, the we'll
loved and brilliant state president, has
been an interested and honored visi-
tor at all the sessions, which were
presided over by the district president,
Mrs. A. J. Lawton.
Greetings of welcome were given
the visitors by City Clerk and Assem-
blyman elect J. C. Burke; Mrs. Harry
Dyer, for the Orange County Fedora
ton; Mrs. Belle Stewart Mckee, for
the Woman's Exposition Auxiliary,
and W. A. Zimmerman, president of
the Santa Ana Chamber of Com
merce.
Mrs. Ella Westland responded for
the delegates.
Mrs. Palmer brought an interesting
message to the delegates and acknowl-
edged many courtesies. A silent triD-
ute of respect was paid the memory
Of Madame Carolyn Severance, the
Mother of Clubs" whose death
caused great sadness. Along the lines
of human interest were three of the
best addresses of the convention, CIV
en- by Rev. Dana W. Bartlett of Los
Angeles, for thirty years slum work
er, who talked on "Betterment of
Civic Movements" along the lines of
better homes, better surroundings and
more recreation. Miss Gertrude Longe-
necker of San Diego made forceful
plea for more elementary education.
The third masterful address was by
Mrs. G. A. Galentine, who spoke on
"The New Vision" A deeper insight
in what is needed in our prisons; how
to make criminals self respecting and
better citizens when they are released.
Much of interest was told of the re-
forms accomplished in San Quentin.

OUTRAGE YET.

w The announcement made last night that General
7on Der Goltz German military governor OF Belgium,
as issued proclamation that Belgian civic guards must
place themselves at the command of the Germans if it
proves to be true it apparently is must be considered
the most dastardly act of the war;
The destruction Of Belgium already ranks as the
greatest crime of modern times and to compel the
Belgans turn their guns against their friends with
the alternative of being murdered is arocity beyond
expression
And yet Germany pretends to want the sympathy of
the civilized world.

DIFFERENCE 1T WOULD MAKE.

The Chicago Live Stock World
quotes Mr.. Charles F. Scott, ex-con-
gresham of Kansas, as to some of the
results il the annual liquor bill-near-
ly $50 per capita-were no more than
it is in Kansas-$1.25 per capita. Mr.
Scott says:
If the national liquor bill could be
reduced to Kansas proportions, with
the corresponding reduction in murder
and assault and theft and the long cata-
logue of crime that follows in the trail
OF drink, If the loss in efficiency
through the use of alcohol could be
stopped, if the heartache and heart
break, the wreck of lives of women
and children could be sayed-if all
that could be done the minimum wage
wouldn't matter, for women wouldn't
have to work, and the railroad rate
wouldn't matter, and there would be
enough money to pay them, and the
trusts wouldn't matter, for we would
be so happy we wouldn't worry about
them, and the currency wouldn't mat
ter, for prosperity would be so gen
eral that we could thrive under any
curreaCy law.

HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
REAL VALUE OF HARD ROADS
Illinois Man Gives Interesting Facts
and Figures Comparing Worth
Of Brick and. Earth.

w. T. Blackburn of Paris, Edgar
county, Illinois, has studied the ques-
ton of hard roads as to their value
in dollars and cents to the farmer,
and here is what he says about it:
Il recently observed the revenue
from two separate farms of 800 acres
each located in the corn belt of Hill
nois, one at the end of a four-mile
brick paved road the other at the end
of four-mile mud road. These farms
should produce under the ordinary ro-
tation of crops annually 26S tons of
corn, so tons of oats and 100 tons of
hay, or 4S0 tons in the aggregate to
be delivered over four miles Of road
way. On the brick road there has
been delivered IL tons of grain in one
trip by one team, using five wagons,
while on the earth road two tons were
all that could be delivered by a SINH
lar team.
THE haul being four miles in both
cases, and as they could make three
trips day, "a miles team travel, the
team on the earth road could deliver
six tons per day at cost for team and
wagon of $3.50, thus making cost of
rs cents per ton for the four-mile
haul. On the brick road the delivery
was 80 tons per day at cost OF 1871
cents per ton on a four-mile haul. A
difference Of SIS cents per ton in the
cost OF delivery in favor of the brick
road, or difference of 1854 on the $50
tons delivered
This is only small percentage OF
the actual loss to the farmer living on
the earth road, as he has had to sell
his grain at time when the roads
were in condition that 1t could be de-
liVered without regard to the price of
his product.
From actual experience it has been
demonstrated that this would repre-
sent loss of $3.50 per ton on corn,
$3.50 per ton on oats, and SIS per ton
on his hay making loss in the aggre-
gate Of 1920 on account of not being
able to deliver at the best market
price.
This, with the loss in cost of deliv-
cry, makes $1,184, or 10 per cent on an
investment of $11,840, an increase in
value of $50 per acre on his 320-acre
farm.
This represents the Investment in a
nine-foot brick highway that has cost
the taxpayers of the township $4,000
per mile, or if all of the principal
highways of the township could be i'm
proved, would only represent tax on
all of the property, or 10 per acre.
These brick roads are rot liabili-
ty, they are an asset. They don't cost
you money-they make you money. 1t
isn't a question Of whether you can
afford brick roads-the question is,
how you can get money enough to-
gether to do without them. Bad roads
cost like the mischief. The most ex-
pensive road is the one you cannot
use.
