Wise and Otherwise By VADNEY Which Are You, Knocker or Booster? When the Creator had made all the good things in the world, He gave the devil a chance at creation to see what he could do. So the devil made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects. When he had finished these, he had some scraps that were too bad to put into the rattlesnake, or the hyena, or the scorpion, or the skunk, so he put all these together, covered it with suspicion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak and called it a "knocker." The "knocker" is the devil's supreme creation. This product of the devil was so fearful to contemplate, that God had to make something to counteract it. So He took a sunbeam and put it into the heart of a child and the brain of a man. He wrapped these in civile pride, covered it all with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet but a grasp of steel, and called it a "booster." God made him a lover of fields and flowers and manly sports, a believer in equality and justice, a worshipper of optimism—Ever since these two creatures were made mortal man has had the privilege of choosing one or the other as his associates. Which do you prefer? Spring When the days are warm and light clouds veil the fact of the flitting heavens, and your soul is filled with poetry that you can't get out. When a soft sun leans low to paint the trees, brooks and hills with nature's golden wand and one feels and loves enough to take advantage of the automobile and modern good roads and are now attending the city churches, where they can hear an intelligent, forceful sermon preached by an educated man, instead of the "hell, fire and damnation" preaching of an "dye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" doctrine by the poorly educated country parson of 20 years ago? Nearly 30 years ago the writer was learning his "three R's" in an old log schoolhouse, where one teacher was trying to handle from 75 to 100 pupils, ranging in age from 6 to 21 years; where one teacher had been thrown bodily through the window and others had quit in despair, the district being known as the toughest of the tough. Today the old log schoolhouse is a thing of memory and the pupils of that district are being taken in union school buses over paved roads to educational centers and given the advantages of an excellent school system in modern buildings. Education and religion have been the two most potent factors in raising the world from savagery to civilization, and when they are making the forward strides in progress that they are today, the old world can't be far wrong. Home Buying One of the greatest losses that any community sustains year after year is through its people purchasing essentials and luxuries out of town. Most of those who purchase a part of their goods outside of their home do so with a view to economy, but there are two other important factors which take people away from home on shopping tours. One is the desire for novelty, the pleasure that comes from looking into how windows of shops not grown and service are large group of new old acquaintance the famous wanderer."

Big Business Takes a Partner When George Washington went to his final rest, a century and a quarter ago, he left the nation he had helped to create a heritage unprecedented in history. He had won for the people—the common people—the political control of their country. Today the people—the common people, of whom there are more than 100,000,000—have retained that heritage and are buying the industrial control as well. Former Secretary Huston has just published a classification of about 190,000 subscribers to an offering of preferred stock made not long ago by three large companies in the national telephone system. Among the investors were barbers, clerks, domestics, dressmakers, housewives, farmers, hotel employees, salesmen, stenographers and scores of other workers, who a few years ago would never have even been approached by the security salesman. Of the 190,000, only 24 were capitalists only. AMERICAN LEGION NOTES State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the American Legion and Dr. John P. Slavich of Oakland, chairman of the Legion's child welfare committee of California are planning to attend the interstate conference of Legion officers to be held in Salt Lake City March 22. The meeting has been called by National Commander James A. Drain for the purpose of organizing the Legionnaires in the West to carry on the nation-wide drive for the $6,000,000 Legion's endowment fund. The annual income of this fund, of which President Coolidge is honorary president, will be used to care for the thousands of orphans of World War veterans and to bring special relief to the disabled men and their families. Mrs. Alma de Brettville Spreckles of San Francisco and William Gibbs McAdoo of Los Angeles are the California representatives on President Coolidge's committee. The American Legion Women's community sustains year after year through its people purchasing essentials and luxuries out of town. Most of those who purchase a part of their goods outside of their home do so with a view to economy but there are two other important factors which take people away from home on shopping tours. One is the desire for novelty, the pleasure that comes from looking into how windows of shops, not grown irresome through over-familiarity, turn of strolling along strange thoroughfares, the adventure of contacts with other faces and other surroundings. The other factor lies in the habit of local merchants often forgetting the need for keeping their customers interested through sufficient changes in window displays, through fetching advertisements continuously displayed in their home papers and through sales features of unusual character. Merchants cannot expect the people of a city merely through civic pride and home loyalty to trade exclusively with them unless they make continued efforts to maintain the individual friendship of the thousands who buy from them through a continuous offering of attractions that inject into shopping the zip and thrill that makes it a delight instead of a task.

Of the 190,000, only 24 were capitalists, only 5681 were manufacturers; and only 1294 were bankers. Big business has accepted the wage earner as a partner. Is the World Getting Worse? When one frequently hears that the world is going to the bow-wows, that the church is disintegrating and the schools are becoming centers of instruction for juvenile criminals, it is good to read the statement of a man like Thomas R. Marshall, former vice-president of the United States, who a few days ago said: "Severity one year I've lived today; I've made mistakes and regretted all of them; I've seen and known many people, good and bad, who have had varied experiences. But the sum total of all my observations is that there is more good in the world than evil." And why shouldn't there be? Because mother did her family wash in the woodshed with two tin tubs and a zinc washboard, is it wrong for daughter to make use of modern conveniences and use an electric washer, and is the world going to the bad if she does? And because 30,000 rural churches have been abandoned are we to say that the 150,000 members of their congregations have forgotten their church vows and forsaken their religion? Would it not be nearer the truth to say that they are progressive The American Legion Women's Auxiliary through its secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth I. Drendell, announces that hereafter popples made only by disabled veterans in government hospitals in California will be handled by that organization. In this way, Mrs. Drendell points out remunerative employment will be possible for the many mental wards of the government whose hands and minds must be kept occupied. Hitherto flowers representative of the famous Flanders popples have been secured from organizations outside the state. With this new ruling men and women mentally and physically disabled as the result of their war service will be given an opportunity to help themselves financially as the auxiliary will purchase the popples from them. "On to Paris in 1927" is the slogan now being sent out to the 300 posts of the American Legion in California by James K. Fisk, department adjutant. George Hatfield of San Francisco and national executive committeeman for the Legion from this state has been named by National Commander James A. Drain as the California representative of the France convention travel committee. Under his direction saving clubs will be inaugurated by the various posts. Steamship and railroad companies have been approached regarding rates ANAHEIM GAZETTE and service and it is expected that a large group of American Legionnaires will invade the French capital to renew old acquaintances and to view the famous war scenes, "ten years after." To make more effective their declaration of war against the ground squirrel, Nathan F. Coombs, department commander of the American Legion, has offered the services of his organization to the horticulture commission of California. Coombs has called upon all county volunteers of the Forty and Eight Society of the Legion to assist the various county officers of the commission in their warfare against this post. Coombs point out that hundreds of thousands of dollars loss to the California farmer annually results from the depredations of this rodent, and it is his intention that the Legion shall assist the state in its clean-up barrage. WASHINGTON NOTES Official Washington is still talking about the action of Vice-President Dawes when he informed members of the Senate that the old-fashioned method of filibustering should be eliminated in order that business might be transacted with expediency in the upper halls of congress. The vice-president held that the procedure in force for many years was a deterrent to the public good and that steps should be taken to prevent any senator or group of senators filibustering, which is the term used in describing the talking of a bill to death. It will be recalled that, during the first session of congress just passed, a senator started a filibuster which resulted in the defeat of an appropriation bill. It is to prevent such a condition that He goes there for amusement and social purposes generally. His children often go to school there. An attractive village, says the department, is an important influence in stabilizing farm life and in counteracting the attractions which cities have for the young people of the farm. As a farmer's chief point of contact with the outside interests, the village can make a big contribution to the happiness of farm life, even if it be considered from no other standpoint than the fact that it is the place where the farmer spends a large part of his income. Where villages are being made more beautiful the impetus has come in nearly every case from local initiative. Villages that have well-planned streets, attractive recreation spots and pleasing approaches are nearly always indebted for these advantages to the energy and public spirit of some small group of citizens. Under such inspiration dump heaps have been turned into garden spots, unshagly shacks and dilaplated stores have been torn down and replaced by smart, substantial business buildings, and extensive programs of landscape gardening and tree planting have been undertaken. It enhances real estate values, attracts tourists and has a powerful influence in raising individual standards of efficiency and enterprise. For example, a village that was not well planned originally but that has now been transformed into an extremely pleasing place is Weston, Mass. Weston formerly had a large swamp area in its center. This has been drained, graded and seeded to grass and planted to trees. A new town hall and fire station have been built opposite the entrance to the common. Public buildings are now said the Santa Fe traffic official," and it is up to every organization, commercial and civic, to join with the railroads in fostering a larger number of attractions for tourists and in advertising the advantages, and possibilities of this state throughout the East. "Florida this year has attracted large travel and business, and that state is setting in about where California began 25 years ago; but mark my word, she is a competitor now, and the people down there are alive to the situation and are making large investments in real estate, hotels, increased facilities for every form of sport and amusement. "However, California is the only all-year resort country on the globe and will continue to grow and prosper. It is the business of the organization to help keep your state properly and everlastingly before the people you want to attract here." The official said the excessive taxes in this state are keeping out capital and retarding development along very needful lines. Arizona, he said, is voting to repeal its inheritance tax law. The present California inheritance tax law, he said, keeps many wealthy people from making this state their permanent residence, as is the case in Florida. HIGHWAY OPENING Opening of a new section of the highway marks the completion of the state coast line between Long Beach and Newport Beach. This is 20 miles of new pavement, enabling motorists to reach directly Alamitos Bay, Naples, Seal Beach, Anaheim Landing, Sunset Beach, Los Patos, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Balboa. This event will be celebrated Saturday. President Coolidge, in signing the efficiency bill, which carried with it an increase in pay of representatives and senators, did so because he realized the fact that the law gives the constitutional right to members of congress to fix their own salaries. While to thousands of persons throughout the land a salary of $10,000 a year appears to be a large sum, yet when the expense of a member of the House, or Senate, are taken into consideration, together with the extremely high cost of living in Washington, it will be apparent to everyone that $10,000 a year will not enable any congressman to become wealthy, for the expenses of living in Washington are far higher than they are in many other parts of the United States. The regular session of the Senate of the last congress was, from a stenographic standpoint, the "talkingest" that has been held for many years. Other short sessions for the past decade have been embellished with much language, but a large portion of the record has consisted of the variety known as "prepared" speeches, the kind that a senator delivers by reading the first few lines of his address and then asking permission to have the balance appear in printed form in the Congressional Record. This method has the advantage that is saves work on the part of the stenographers, and also because a prepared speech can be sent direct to the printers without having to be transcribed from the stenographer's notes. The first rumors of decided changes in any of the departments concerns that over which Secretary of Agriculture William M. Jardine presides. It has been known for some time in Washington that the President, in his investigations along lines that are meant to aid the farmer has not been well planned originally but that has now been transformed into an extremely pleasing place in Weston, Mass. Weston formerly had a large swamp area in its center. This has been drained, graded and seeded to grass and planted to trees. A new town hall and fire station have been built opposite the entrance to the common. Public buildings are now centrally grouped. Old, unsightly structures have been torn down. The improvements were planned by a landscape architect. It took 25 years to put the plan thru, but everyone in Weston now believes that the enterprise was worth the time and the money it cost. Many other examples of effective village planning have been noted by the department's investigators. Yet the idea that village planning is necessary as city planning has taken root in comparatively few places. It has not the pressure behind it that brings results in crowded cities where congestion makes changes compulsory. The government points out that village planning often means great savings to a community, that it is never too early or too late to begin it; that the expense is almost never prohibitive and is seldom a serious handicap. AN ALL-YEAR RESORT W. J. Black of Chicago, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe railway system, predicts a very heavy travel to California this summer, although the official sounds a note of warning that this state has encountered very strong competition and bid for tourist and homeseeker travel. "California must watch her step."

The first rumors of decided changes in any of the departments concerns that over which Secretary of Agriculture William M. Jardine presides. It has been known for some time in Washington that the President, in his investigations along lines that are meant to aid the farmer, has not been overly pleased at some of the things that have happened in the Department of Agriculture during the past two of three years. GOVERNMENT FINDS VILLAGES UNATTRACTIVE Nearly 20,000,000 people in the United States, or about one-fifth of the population, live in villages, and 30,000,000 farming people use these villages for the purpose of business, education, religion, health and social well-being. Yet these centers of rural population are usually unattractive and often very ugly. Villages in other countries are generally much superior to those of the United States in design, in the character of their streets and public buildings, and in their approaches and recreation spots. A start, however, has been made toward beautifying the American village. Some examples of leadership in this respect are recorded by the Department of Agriculture, which has been studying the problem of village planning from the standpoint of its importance to the rural community and particularly to the farmer. It is more as a buying than as a selling place that the farmer makes use of the village. But he purchases his household supplies in the village.
