GOOD ROADS

The final passage by Con- gress, last month, of t h e National Road Bill, which has been under consideration since the early part of the year, is a matter of interest to every one, and will great ly stimulate the automotive industry, inasmuch as high way development is essent- ial to the successful opera tion of motor trucks. It ap- propriates $75, ,000, 900, of which $25, ,000, GOO is immed- lately available, and $50, OO0 900 January 1st, 1922, for the establishment by law of a system of main highways, interstate in character, the construction of which shall be given preference by the Secretary of Agriculture, and a supplementary system of main inter-county roads.

MIDDLE WEST ON UPGRADE

It is a remarkable tribute to the stability of conditions in the big agricultural states that the Presidents unem- ployment conference found so few men out of work in Missouri, Kansas, and Neb- raska. This favorable situa- ton exists in spite of the tremendous dehation of az ricultural values values on which the prosperity of the region depends.
 Last year at this time, with the greatest decline in history in agricultural pro- ducts in full progress nobody could be sure what would happen. The farmer saw his values vanishing, the banks had to meet demands for increased loans with de- posits shrinking, business men were uncertain whether the end of the slide would find them solvent.
 Things struck bottom and people were violently shaken up. But when they had picked themselves up and dusted themselves off they felt of their arms and legs and found comparatively few bones broken.
 Now the west is on the up grade. The report of the Kansas state banks the other day showed that 31 million dollars in loans had been paid off in the year. People have economized and denied themselves and worked hard CT than ever, with the re- suit that conditions are de. |cidedly better than anybody could have thought possible a year ago.
 T h e favorable employ. ment situation is a reflection of the general soundness o1 the farm states centering a. bout Kansas City. Kansas City Star.

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

The NEWS is in receipt of the fortieth Anniversary number of the TIMES. On the front page is a reproduc- tion, three-quarter size, of the first TIMES printed Dec. 4th, 1881. Forty years is a short time in the affairs of men. Short time to accomp- fish a great work. Yet a great paper has been evolved in that short time = a paper that is worthy.
 It is only necessary to look back a few years to a time when the Times was fight ing for it's very existence a. gainst criminal foes because that paper dared to voice it's convictions o n a subject. WneCner or not you agree that the Times was right is beside the question. The point is this: The TIMES was fighting for what it felt to be a principal. It W o II out = and is still fighting, and is growing stronger and better every day.
 All honor to an American journal with that grit!

OIL BUSINESS SOUND

General business conditions on Pacific coast are improving and oil business is increasing all the time, according to Pres. Kings bury of Standard Oil Go. of Cal ifernis.
 Demand for refined oil pro- ducts in it's territory continues large. Each months sales of gasoline shows substantial gains over 1920. In addition. demand from Far East is on the increase.
 In the midwest and eastern districts where slump in oil was most keenly felt earlier in t h e year. recovery has been rapid. Crude oil prices have advanced materially and gasoline is ad- vancing.
 Fortunately the oil industry has not been hampered as have the railroads in readjusting from a war to a peace basis. Wages paid and prices charged for itS product have been subject to the law of supply and demand iD- stead of being governed by ar- bitrary ruling. As 2 result its reaGjustment was rapid . nd complete and IS going ahead on a sound basis.

THE DREAM WILL BE REALIZED

A night or so ago we pick ed up one of the popular magazines of the day and the first thing our eyes fell on was a reference to the Arizona oil field, which is the Holbrook field, of course. We were all interested at once. The story, while pure fiction, went on to tell how 9 gusher had been struck on a ten acre lease owned by the hero of the story. He detailed an account of how liquid gold was being spout ed into the desert air of Ari- zona, making him many thousands of dollars. The whole story was woven a. round this gusher.
 The crux of the whole thing is this: We are being advertised all over the coun- try, and this sort adYertis- ing will not hurt us. The magazine we speak of has a tremendous circulation, and no doubt this same story will be read by millions of people.

YE OLDE TIME DANCE

Those W h 0 journeyed from afar and near to the Old Time Dance at Adam ana last Saturday were am- ply repaid for their time and journey, because a jam up good time was had by all.
 The Old Time Dance i S an annual affair held at Ad- amana, and the name 'Old Time" is all that it implies. Nothing but old time cus- toms are observed; old time dances and and old time music. The dance always lasts until broad day light. And day light finds none of the participants ready to quit. But as day light is the magic time to cease all publications, everything must cease.
 Mrs. Rowenp Wood, as is the custom, presided at the piano; old time callers were in evidence to call the qua drilles. No modern dances are permitted.
 Holbrook was represented by a large and enthusiastic crowd.
