Trust to the shore; Ships have drowned, where late they danced before. —Herrick. The World War taught lessons that should be remembered vividly for ages. But some of these lessons seem to be almost forgotten already. Prospective jurors should not be harried by detectives. Disclosures in the Burch case at Los Angeles are startling. This thing should be stopped with firm hand. Of course the neighborhood gossip will have to have a radiophone outfit. She sould not stand it with all these things being said through the air without her hearing them. This is the time of year when residents in lowlands along the Mississippi "lift up their eyes unto the hill" and choose a likely place to pitch tent until the flood is over. The cattle-raising industry in California represents invested capital of $400,000,000. Livestock interests of this state are enormous, and their volume is not generally realized. "Excelsior" is a favorite slogan in California—by which is not meant the kind in which dishes are packed. High him is a manifest feature of community life in this commonwealth. Booker T. Washington earned fame as an able, sagacious, useful and inspiring leader of the negro race. The white people of north and south respected him in life, and cherish his memory in death.

This is a faithful reflection of a healthy condition of business and industry in this state. Assets of state banks and trust companies increased more than $22,000,-000 from January 1 to March 10. Deposits gained nearly $11,000,000 in that time. There was an increase in loans of more than $12,000,000 in the same period. These figures are from Jonathan S. Dodge, state superintendent of banks. Savings banks, in particular, have made the most notable gains in this period, denoting the prevalence both of prosperity and of thrift in this state. Savings deposits increased nearly $12,000,000 in these few weeks. These figures corroborate the several evidences of economic betterment and general thriving in California. There is no boom, but a substantial betterment of conditions. MORE EMPLOYMENT NOW IN BIG INDUSTRIES More men are being put back to work, month after month, in the more important industries. Official report from the department of labor shows that the automotive and allied industries, iron and steel and their products, and lumber, are showing the greatest improvement. Gain in number of men employed in some of these industries was as high as 28 per cent for the month of March, as compared with the previous month. "Business will not come back with a jump, but every indication points to a general progressive movement," is the authoritative word from the department of labor. It is upon this steady improvement that reasonable hope is based. Betterments, even though slow, are cumulative. Village Is Ellies Rhodes, range County Chorale minded?

The white people of north and south respected him in life, and cherish his memory in death. A bank stenographer at Arcadia has been held up so often recently that she considers it a dull and insipid day if she is not persuaded to put up her hands by a masked individual with an ugly looking gun. California should become the champion tree-planting state of the Union. Plant trees in denuded forest lands. Plant trees along highways. Ornament private grounds with trees. There is no object in nature more graceful, stately, beautiful and imposing than a tree. Adorn the highways of the state with trees. It would add greatly to the sightliness. It also would contribute to the comfort of those who drive along this state's thoroughfares. California has an opportunity to make itself noted for its beautiful, tree-lined highways. Study the measures that are on the state ballot in California this year. There are more than a score of them. Several are important. All deserve close attention. Scrutinize them keenly. Because conversant with this import and the logical results from them. Those who do this will be qualified to vote intelligently. HONOR DISCOVERER OF NORTH POLE Discoverer of the North Pole—Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary—has been memorialized by a monument dedicated at Arlington National Cemetery, on the thirteenth anniversary of the momentous discovery made by Admiral Peary. President Harding and other notable were present, including Capt. Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole. Despite the bitter controversy that raged between Admiral Peary and Dr. Cook, and the aspersions cast on both sides, scientists do not doubt Peary's claim that he reached the northern extremity of the earth's axis. Before his great triumph, Peary had made notable explorations in the Arctic regions. His fame is secure as one of the most distinguished polar explorers of all time.

Los Angeles St. Phone 177 Village Gossip Is Ellies Rhodes, director of the Orange County Choral union, absent-minded That is what friends of the popular local singer and music teacher are wondering these days since Rhodes has admitted a charge that has been laid against him. It appears that Rhodes decided the other night to take a bath. He was in the best of humor and as he turned on the water and regulated the heater, he hummed strains from "H. M. S. Pinafore" the opera that he was directing. As the tub filled, Rhodes' anticipation increased and his voice vibrated with the music that came from his lusty lungs. He put his hand into the water to test its temperature. It was perfect. Rhodes then arranged his soap and towels and leaped into the water, at the same time bursting into a melodious finale of Mendelssohn's "Spring Song." One second later Mrs. Rhodes down stairs heard a terrible shriek. She hastened to the bath room, fearing the worst. There in the tub sat Mr. Ellis Rhodes, director of the Orange County Choral union, teacher of music, popular musician and faculty member of Redlands university. He was grinning foolishly. For Mr. Rhodes had neglected to remove his wearing apparel before he leaped for the bath water. Hence the shriek. Hence the wonderment on the part of his friends as to his absent-mindedness.

Town in Review INFLUENCE THE JURY MIND Barney Flood, deputy police commissioner of New York, was telling stories on a liner recently coming over from Europe. D. M. Delmas, the San Francisco attorney, who figured largely in one of the Thaw trials, according to one of Mr. Flood's yarns, was trying a case in which a handwriting expert was being examined. It developed that the expert was born in Germany and had come to the United States 30 years ago, landing in New York. "How long did you live in New York?" asked Mr. Delmas. "Six years," was the answer. "Then you moved to Chicago. How long did you reside there?" "Seven and a half years," said the expert. "And how long did you live in St. Louis?" "Three years." "And you have spent the rest of your residence in America in San Francisco?" "Yes." "Now, Mr. Handwriting Expert," said the lawyer, "please tell the jury just why you left St. Louis after three years' residence there." "I object!" shouted the prosecutor. "Objection sustained," ruled the judge. But the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, and it was stated that it did so because it considered the handwriting expert a discredited witness. "Just why did the man leave St. Louis?" Mr. Delmas was afterward asked. "I haven't the slightest idea," he replied. That's right, Steve, if a man had no tongue and was unable to write, he would never get into trouble." Nature can cure most everything but a chronic grouch. SOME THINGS I'VE NEVER SEEN I've never met our old friend Watts— LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Anaheim, Calif., Apr. 11, '22 To the Citizens of Anaheim: I desire to convey thru the press my hearty appreciation of the vote of confidence so clearly expressed in the election yesterday. I hope to merit the continued reliance of my friends and neighbors upon me, and look to the accomplishment in our city of some of the things we all have desired and have been working to bring about. Yours for a City of Homes, Respectfully, FRANK N. GIBBS Anaheim, April 11, 1922 Friends and Citizens of Anaheim: Please accept my most sincere thanks for the approbation you expressed in placing an "X" against my name at yesterday's polls, and for the expectation that vote of confidence implied. I take this early means to assure you and all good citizens that I shall always faithfully endeavor to justly and honestly represent them, for the best interests of our favored ANAHEIM. Respectfully, (Signed) GODFREY J. STOCK. How Would You Say It? A correspondent is troubled by the use of the word "make" in the phrase "to make wages." He writes: "Is it correct to say that a person makes wages or a salary Not long ago I heard a young man say, 'You know, I cannot go to that specialist for treatment, because I make only small wages.' Should I not have said, 'because I earn only small wages.'" Consultation of several standard works on English fails to find any objection to the use of the verb "make" in connection with wages or salary, and it seems to be a good, strong, idiomatic English phrase that has been used for many years, and is therefore approved by the people. The latest edition of Webster's International Dictionary does not contain the phrase but in the long list of definitions of the verb "make." It gives one THE OUTCAST I have no place to keep you any more; Your shrine is broken; on the sagging door And on the window, too, The dampness gathers and the ivy clings, And there the little bird that sways and sings Sings of his nest, not you. The music that was yours has trailed away, Gone with the incense and the dropping light That stained your forehead where you stood all white. I cannot put you in the noisy day; What would you make of all its jangling strings— You whom the silence cherished and the night Touched with slow moving wings? If I could build anew The broken beauty where you dwelt before. And watch the moonlight stealing in to pray, Just as it used to do. I know my dreams would come again and say The orisons they knew; But life that gives so much will scarce restore At all or gather back the dust she flings. Of make new homes again for home-less things; I have no place to keep you any more. —Anna Goodwin Winslow. Luck, love and lightning never strike twice in the same place. SOME THINGS I'VE NEVER SEEN I've never met our old friend Watts— The prospect seems quite slim; But on the bill they send for lights I'm introduced to him. —Riverside Press. If some men get all that they prayed for, observed Luke McLuke, there wouldn't be a blame thing left for the widows and orphans. "The mill never grinds with the water that is past." ALSO A DOLL IS PAINTED The girl who is told She looks like a doll. Shouldn't feel complimented. A doll has false hair. —Wilbur Sutton. What has become of the o. f. husband who could boss his wife and get away with it? Did you ever notice how modest a girl can be with her ankles when she is wearing ordinary cotton stockings? SHE KISSED ME (From Passionate Poems of Old Town by T. P. Getz.) She kissed me, 'twas at the theatre, And a musical comedy show, And she came from the stage In colors arrayed. While I sat in the very front row. They were singing a song, She came prancing along, And she kissed me on top of the head; The audience screamed, As on me she beamed, And I cannot recall what I said. When she kissed me, Yes, kissed me On top Of the head. Dear Town in Review: Do you remember in the years gone by what fun it used to be to take in a movie show and hear the old pianoaker follow the pictures? Good old "Hearts and Flowers" for sad scenes: "Father, Dear Father, Come Home With Me Now," or "Hail! Hall! The Gang's All Here," for drunks; ""Life On the Ocean Wave"" and "Rocked In the Cradle of the Deep" for water stuff; "Jingle Bells," for snow stuff, etc.? I remember one night. On the screen the poor heroine, who had been betrayed, had returned to her native town with her fatherless child in her arms to face her betrayer, the village Louis?" Mr. Delmas was afterward asked, "I haven't the slightest idea," he replied. "That's right, Steve, if a man had no tongue and was unable to write, he would never get into trouble."

English phrase that has been used for many years, and is therefore approved by the people. The latest edition of Webster's International Dictionary does not contain the phrase but in the long list of definitions of the verb "make" it gives one of the meanings.

It is urged that tuberculosis be wiped out in cattle to save children. “While waiting for that, pasteurize thoroughly your children's milk, or boil it, if pasteurizing is too much trouble.

On the screen the poor heroine, who had been betrayed, had returned to her native town with her fatherless child in her arms to face her betrayer, the village deacon. Of course, he repulsed her. She fell on her knees, tears streaming from her eyes, and begs him to marry her. I looked at the "Planetist" an old-timer, whom I had known on the road, and calmly waited for him to pour out "Hearts and Flowers."

A Florence Heights woman tells us her husband probably will never acquire another bad habit, as it takes all his waking hours to practice those he already has. And whenever he is asleep, he snores. No man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourself so. —George MacDonald.

LINCOLN—Pittsburgh Leader There is less curiosity expressed today about "What would Lincoln say." and "What would Lincoln do?" is it because we are just a little timid about hearing what the answer would be after he scrutinized our situation? After he measured what we have done, what we are doing and what we are saying? For Lincoln never lost the viewpoint of the frontier environment into which he was born, and in which his life was passed until he entered the White House. He loved that environment with all its crudeness, all its hardships. Especially, he loved the human beings within it. To his big soul and kindly spirit, all were kin. The unity never became obscured in his mind. Even after political fortune had carried him far away from that environment he never lost contact with it. The new surroundings did their best to make him over or swallow him up—but they failed. He was permitted fewer opportunities to enjoy the common humanity unity, but he never allowed a chance to slip by without an embrace from his long, powerful arms. His eyes always brightened when these chances came, EASTER LILLIES Our Easter Lilies are here, and they are fine plants that will be just right Easter morning. Come in and pick out your plant.
