ANOTHER MILESTONE Once more the veterans of the World War will fitingly observe what was the greatest day of their lives—the Armistice of 1918. To the average citizen, this means but a day in which to make merry, cheer on the boys who entered the conflict that liberty might live, and see the events which after all will prove but amusement for them. But, to the man with greying temples and a slight stoop brought on naturally by advancing years, the day conjures a number of memories. They remember the slimy mud, the whistling "minnies", screeching shrapnel and the moaning wounded. The few hours in a rest camp back of the lines, the weight of the pack and the long hikes into the lines. But most of all they recall the cause of the visit to foreign shores—that peace and tranquility of the world might be reestablished and the government of the United States be kept intact for posterity. On next Monday the universe will, at 11 o'clock, cease in its mad scramble, face the west and murmur a silent prayer that those who remained behind might not have died in vain. In Anaheim the Armistice Committee has arranged for a signal of the power house whistle to indicate the hour at which the Armistice became effective—11 o'clock—and it is hoped all will remain silent for two minutes in memory of the departed who paid the supreme sacrifice. POLITICAL REACTIONS in its mad scramble, face the west and murmur a silent prayer that those who remained behind might not have died in vain. In Anaheim the Armistice Committee has arranged for a signal of the power house whistle to indicate the hour at which the Armistice became effective—11 o'clock—and it is hoped all will remain silent for two minutes in memory of the departed who paid the supreme sacrifice. POLITICAL REACTIONS Tuesday's elections while hardly indicating a sweeping Republican victory in 1936 still gives the G. O. P. some heartening reactions. The popularity of a chief executive has always varied in direct ratio to the tone of the New York Stock Exchange. It now seems that the President has lost ground, in some sections, even with a rising stock market. Winning the New York Assembly with large majorities, after personal appearance of Postmaster General Farley, showed an 'about face' by voters which cannot be discounted. Another interesting bit was the defeat of Farley's brother at the polls in a local New York election. SAFEGUARD OUR REPUBLIC In an address directed against political attacks on our Constitution, which is the chief safeguard of our Republic, Colonel Robert R. McCormick, Chicago publisher, said: "One State has passed a law making illegal the free exercise of religion and the Supreme Court of the United States has declared this law to be unconstitutional. Do you want the Supreme Court made powerless to invalidate another such law? "One State has passed a law denying the right of freedom of speech and of the press, and the Supreme Court of the United States has declared this law unconstitutional. Do you want to take from the Supreme Court the power to invalidate another such law? "One State has passed a law to take property from you without compensation, and the Supreme Court has declared this law to be unconstitutional. Do you want the Supreme Court rendered powerless to invalidate another such law? "It is in the Constitution, set up by the people themselves, limiting the powers of government and preserving the rights of the citizens, that we Americans tower above the people of other countries." "Where the people of other lands live under hereditary rulers or dictators who have usurped autocratic rule, fraud and massacre, we live together under written agreements made with each other which preserve the rights of the innocent from the machinations of the unscrupulous; those of the weak from the oppression of the strong; those of the minority from the prejudices and passions of the majority, the liberties of private citizens from the tyranny, abuse and robbery of those who wield the powers of government." YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW ANYTHING YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW ANYTHING It doesn't take brains to push the throttle of your car to the floorboard. It doesn't take cleverness to weave in and out of traffic at sixty miles an hour to the consternation of the slower moving highway-users. It doesn't take any intellectual capacity to hang onto the steering wheel, give her the gun, and see if you can make the speedometer touch ninety-odd. In other words, you don't have to know anything to drive fast. Drivers who regard streets and highways as the Indianapolis bowl, might be divided into two classes: First, those who are weary of living and don't mind if they take innocent parties along with them into eternity. Second, those who are so stupid as to not realize that several thousand pounds of metal moving at terrific speeds is as lethal a weapon as a machine-gun—both for the occupant and for anyone else who happens to be in the locality. Speed—and speed alone—is responsible for the great majority of automobile accidents. All other causes pale into insignificance beside it. As even the most mentally deficient driver should be able to realize, an accident occurring at sixty miles per hour is almost invariably more serious than one occurring at 20. The roads of America are strewn with corpses because a relatively small number of drivers are doing their best to emulate Malcolm Campbell. The fellow who used to be hostler in a livery barn may think he has no future but just look what a comeback the bartender staged. Well, if it gets to the point where they can't find anybody else for Joe Louis to fight why not match him against Popeye?

TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Since the very inception of both the dole, under its American pseudonym of "direct relief", and the government's equally artificial public works program—both designed to cope with emergency problems of destitution and unemployment—, it has been clearly apparent that such remedies, or palliatives, might induce new economic ailments almost as serious as the original disease. In addition to mortgaging both the present and the future with a terrific public debt, the multi-billion-dollar relief program had, from the outset, these inherent weaknesses: 1. The threat that government relief work, once established, would become competitive with private business and industry, increasing labor costs and slowing up business recovery. 2. The danger that the dole would undermine the morale and industry or former workers, jeopardizing the nation's economic and social structure. Both of these dangers, judging from California's current farm crisis problem, and urban labor problems as well, now have become national government means of dealing with the situation if business agriculture and industry generally are to escape disastrous conditions. In common fairness to President Roosevelt, he undoubtedly foresaw the dangers of his program as clearly as anyone else. But like a doctor who administers opiates to ease his patient's pain, he met emergency conditions with most certain source of private employment in California, but apparently preferring the dole to honest employment, thousands of relief recipients have deliberately avoided registering in the farm labor bracket. It is likewise of vital importance that minimum wages of the WPA be reclassified, so that WPA workers in Texas, Florida and other agricultural states will receive the same scale for similar work as is paid in California. In California, as a sample of present discrimination, agriculture is being forced to compete with a $55 WPA minimum wage, compared with minimums of from $19 to $22 in other farm states. Also aggravating the problem is the fact that minimum wages of WPA are higher in the cities and populous centers than in country districts, with the result that the unemployment have migrated to the cities in huge numbers, thereby reducing the farm labor supply. California agriculture is neither Democratic nor Republican in its approach to the problem; nor is it unduly critical of the President's program. It recognizes that the President has been forced to cope with one of the greatest crises in the history of the American people. But agriculture does expect immediate and vigorous action by the national government to force dole-addicts to give up their government opiates and return to work, when work is available. And it also expects the government work—financed by the American taxpayer—from under-mining private business and in- In common fairness to President Roosevelt, he undoubtedly foresaw the dangers of his program as clearly as anyone else. But like a doctor who administers opiates to ease his patient's pain, he met emergency conditions with emergency action, although recognizing that his economic drugs might be habit-forming. Without regard to whether the President blundered, or whether he did the best he could with a bad situation, California, and the country at large, now face the problem of curing hundreds of thousands of former workers of dole-addiction, and the further problem of adjusting government relief wages so that they will not discourage men and women from returning to private employment. During the present harvest season, California has been confronted with the economic travesty of huge farm losses, due to serious lack of farm labor, while thousands lived in idleness in California cities at the expense of the government. It is not only imperative that a repetition of this condition be prevented next year, but it is equally important that immediate action be taken to guard against similar losses in the harvesting of winter vegetables and citrus and other sub-tropical fruits which reach maturity during the winter months. The federal government, if it is alert to the seriousness of the problem, must take drastic action to puge relief rolls of drones who have assumed the attitude that the government owes them a living. Realizing that agriculture is the OBSERVATIONS SPUDS ARE SPUDS Getting this potato control complex under a spy-glass it appears to be a prorate project. A farmer is allowed to raise a certain percent of his last year's output. If he raises more potatoes than that, he is bootlegging. Some of the farmers believe the law is class legislation. By and large the potato is starchy and is good for gas, with or without the bug. DOING BUSINESS AT SAME OLD STAND Some people believed that repeal would take the headache out of hooch; but a piece in the paper says there are 7000 bootleggers in this commonwealth. EATING YOUR APPLE AND HAVING IT A foreign country suggested that it would buy a lot of our produce provided this country would loan it the money to pay for the goods. THAT'S WHY THEY PUT RUBBERS ON LEAD PENGIES A critic of the administration says the national debt is 35 billion dollars, while a defender of the present regime ups and says the debt is only 30 billion. Just to vary things a little, this week we announce that Halloween was needed for some fellas to grow whiskers, but Pete Weisel proved he was old enough to wear whiskers legitimately by swelling up his chest and sayin' (like this) "sure, ittsafack." Meaning of course that he is now and will forever be a Grandaddy. More power to you Pete we're all for you. Jack Gledhill says that the worst part of raising a beard for Halloween is that when it comes to getting back to normal, well, who the heck likes to shave every morning any how? Dr. Walters gave as his excuse that he couldn't follow his profession and wear a beard. The truth of the matter is that Doc probably was a little afraid that maybe that'd give some of his patients something to grab hold of and make him quit pulling. Dr. Walter Bigham told the Rotary that his hobby was putting things together and making 'em tick. And here I thought he was an osteopath who punched 'em down and made 'em click. LOOK OUT BELOW! When a government, by a lofty grandiloquent wave of the hand, goes off the gold standard in order to cheapen its money, believing that will stimulate prices of commodities; and then issues certificates in order to buy more gold for more than it is worth in the open market, in order to have it to back up its devalued dollar, that is a good deal like a fellow trying to ride two horses each going in opposite directions. and Jim had to explain that it was him all the while. As a defender, Leo Friis made a good prosecutor. He even had the hangman's rope which he used for a beard ... stoo bad Leo hadda borrow a beard. He might've been able to use the rope. Dictator George Holden of the Anaheim "Soupreme Court" didn't have much luck till they found the jail and then all the prisoners jumped at the chance to pay a fine. So. Calif. Edison Scores Hight In Utility Ad-Views Scoring again as a national leader in public utility advertising, the Southern California Edison Company has been awarded first place for 1935 in Public Utility Ad-Views annual Socrates' point score competition. The company last year won third place. Announcement of the first place award was made recently to R. G. Kenyon, advertising manager of the Edison Company, by Public Utility Ad-Views executives. In advancing from third to first place during the year, the Edison Company topped utilities of all classifications, electric, gas and street railway companies, and again as last year ranked first in the rating of the exclusively electric utilities participating in the annual competition. If a strong nation declares war on a weak nation, and then if the other nations put an emborga on munitions of war, the weak nation has to do the best they can and be annihilated.

For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your headaches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned. It takes a thrush good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills.
