Hartnoy in the community is as important as harmony in the family. Clean athletics should be encouraged. It makes for wholesome development of bodies and minds in youths as well as adults. Americans are not so selfish and sordid as they sometimes are painted. Think of what this people have done, in the last few years, to relieve famine conditions in Europe! When President Harding himself former Senator, clashes with the Senate, the situation becomes of the keenest public interest. It is a novelty in American statecraft. For Presidents heretofore have not been chosen from the active membership of the Senate. The very fact that there is so much eagerness in Europe to reach an amicable agreement to promote economic restoration is hopeful in itself. It foreshadows some practical plan before long. Even though Russia should be puzzling and disappointing, there is reason to hope for some working out of betterment. The United States gladly would agree to additional sweeping reductions in armament on sea and land. CALIFORNIA IS TO HAVE ERA OF PROGRESS California is to derive great economic impetus from this good year, 1922, trustworthy signs indicate. Development throughout the state is swinging back into pre-war strides. In building, records are being made without parallel before or since the great war. Nor is this fictitious booming. There is more construction than ever before, because there is greater need of housing than ever before. With all the new construction that is proceeding there is lack of housing in all the cities of the state. There is a substantial, healthy growth in population, and newcomers must be housed. Building activities will continue throughout this year, and indefinitely. A great deal of public improvement work is to be done in California this year. City after city is voting bonds for betterments. The grand total to be expended in this way will run into the millions, for the whole state. These public works will give employment to many, and the greater part of the millions to be expended will remain at home, to circulate healthfully and to stimulate business. In agriculture and manufacturing, development may be witnessed on every hand. Important, too, are developments of hydro-electric projects. In a word, in all the great basic economic activities California is alive and alert and making advancement, with good prospects for this year and the year to come. For, whatever may be the situation in Europe or in other parts of the world, California produces so many necessaries that demand for its products will be found. SALVAGE NEWSPAPERS, FOR USE AGAIN. The very fact that there is no much eagerness in Europe to reach an amicable agreement to promote economic restoration is hopeful in itself. It foreshadows some practical plan before long. Even though Russia should be puzzling and disappointing, there is reason to hope for some working out of betterment. The United States gladly would agree to additional sweeping reductions in armament on sea and land, if other great powers of the world in good faith would agree to the same. This country at all times is ready to meet other nations more than halfway in sincere efforts to prevent the recurrence of great wars. The Hague conference seems foredoomed to failure. Russia is in no position to talk stability or enter into economic agreements which would have any weight. Without the solving of the problem of Russia, Europe could not form any economic compact that would be conclusive and that would adjust the economic situation satisfactorily. Violence, disorder, and conditions which lead to the declaring of marital law in certain localities, jar the home on the eternal fitness of things. This is at variance with American ideals and American methods. There is no excuse for murderous violence in this country, no matter in what cause it may be invoked. Declaration of Premier Kato, new head of the ministry in Japan, in favor of further reductions in world armament will be received with favor in America and throughout the world, as indicative of a desire on the part of the government at Tokio to promote peace with all nations. Any movement in good faith by Japan of any other power or group of powers, to broaden the circle of peace and to bind the nations of the world more closely together, would be met cordially by the United States. SALVAGE NEWSPAPERS, FOR USE AGAIN. Of very great interest to newspaper publishers and to the public, is announcement, from Madison, Wis., that the United States Forest Products Laboratory there has developed a process to take the ink from old newspapers so that they can be used again for printing purposes. Bentonite, a clay-like substance, formed from volcanic ash and found largely in Wyoming, is used in the de-inking process. It dissolves the ink and leaves the paper in a clear condition. This process is inexpensive and it is believed that the greater part of the more than 2,000,000 tons of news print annually can be salvaged. Diminishing supply of pulp wood in American forests has created much apprehension as to the future of the news-print paper supply. Decrease in pulp-wood and steady increase in demand for news print as the circulation of newspapers increases, has made the problem vexing. But if old papers can be salvaged and used again, the gravity of the problem would be relieved greatly. PROMINENT clubwoman wants divorce because she doesn't know where her husband is.

Town in Review WELCOME TO OUR COUNTRY The time has come, the walrus said, To rhyme these travelers, bold; To mention here the caravan, The camel and patrol; To eulogize the burning sands, The crescent and the fezz; To wonder what the divan cats, And what the tiger sezz; To ponder on the Mystic sign, The hub-bub and alarm— To see that each and every one Stays here and buys a farm! LIL KOO KOO New York Letter by Lucy James Price NEW YORK, June 20—George Bronson Howard in his heyday never described an opium palace in his popular novels with the accuracy which a recent raid has revealed in New York. Far down in the Ghetto of the city pedestrians have lately been puzzled by the number and richness of expensive touring cars, limousines and cab-driving up to a commonplace, riveting tenement. Handsomely gowned women have been seen entering this place, met at the door by an obsequious Chinese butler in full regalia. Assuming there was something wrong the police raided the house and were taken aback by the sickish sweet odor which emanated from the place. Within, the most luxuriously furnished apartment conceivable gave up hiding places for vast quantities of opium and other forms of dope. There were all the mysterious hiding places—behind tapestries, oil paintings, and under heavy Oriental and animal skin rugs. Trap doors, sliding wainscoting and trick tables revealed the source of this smoking happiness. Needless to say, there was a hurried exit of the patrons. Some may think all of this has passed, but no 10-20-30 thriller ever depicted the scene more strikingly in the old days. Some times I dine at the Automat. While having my noonday bite a few days ago at my table was one of those anaemic, little 17-year-old shop girls who looked as if she did not have enough life to keep her body and soul together. She was toying with a wee little bun and one of those silly little fruit salads which constitute the lunch of so many of our working women. As she left the table my heart ached and I chided myself for not offering her the substantial roast beef sandwich which my lagging appetite disdained. But in a moment she Prohibition Paragraphs By CHARLES H. RANDALL Prohibition Congressman, 1915-21 "One might excuse: the Indiana who sold Manhattan Island for a keg of whiskey," says the Glendale Press, "but today the inhabitants of that island would apparently swap it for a keg of bootleg with a counterfeit label. This liquid fine seems to be consuming the last element of patriotism and manhood in that proud city." Mr. James Reeves, proprietor of a chain of 300 grocery stores in New York City, who recently visited San Francisco, declares that prohibition has increased the demand for California canned fruits, according to the San Francisco Journal of Commerce. 'Business is fine in New York City,' said Mr. Reeves, 'and we hardly know that the country has been through a depression. Our business this year will be over $20,000,000 gross.'" "The quick transition from the days of old John Barleycorn, when brewers made the thirst quenching amber fluid, to 1922, when their plants are devoted to the manufacture of confectionery," will be one of the features visualized at the candy show now being held in Chicago, according to the Daily News of that city. "The plant of the brewery which manufactured the 'beer that made Milwaukee famous' is turning out chocolates by the ton. Many other breweries in various parts of the country have also been turned into candy factories." "Candidates running on wet platforms in Pennsylvania went down to defeat; candidates who announced for beer and wine were overwhelmingly defeated. These are some examples: Congressman Burke, who included beer and wine as one of the planks in his platform, was defeated by Senator Pepper by over 200,000; in the Twelfth district, Harris Hamlin made beer and wine the dominant issue and was defeated by Congressman Clarence D. Coughlin; two candidates favoring beer and wine opposed Congressman Darrow, who was renominated by more than 45,000 votes; in the Twenty-ninth district, Otto Nick of Erie, running on WELCOME TO OUR COUNTRY The time has come, the walrus said, To rhyme these travelers, bold; To mention here the caravan, The camel and patrol; To eulogize the burning sands, The crescent and the fezz; To wonder what the divan cats, And what the tiger sezz; To ponder on the Mystic sign, The hub-bub and alarm— To see that each and every one Stays here and buys a farm! ---LIL KOO KOO Shriners in Anaheim.

In Joliet and Aurora the cicadas hum so loudly that shouting cannot be heard across the street. If other insects became as active and prolific as the cicada, human life would be destroyed entirely in a few years at the most. Some scientists think it possible that insect life eventually will exterminate man and "rule supreme" on earth. Maybe if the gardener planted weeds, vegetables would come up and crowd them out.

While strolling along In the city's vast throng On a night that was bitter and cold, I noticed a crowd All laughing aloud At something they seemed to behold! Oh, I looked for to see What the mat-ter might be— And there on the doorstep did lay A woman in tears 'Mid the crowd's angry jeers, And then I heard somebody say— (SREFRAIN) Some times I dine at the Auto-mat. While having my noon-day bite a few days ago at my table was one of those anaemic, little 17-year-old shop girls who looked as if she did not have enough life to keep her body and soul together.

As she left the table my heart ached and I chided myself for not offering her the substantial roast beef sandwich which my lagging appetite disdained. But in a moment she was back, bearing with her a large dish of frankfurters and kraut, and a generous slice of pumpkin pie on the side. As I left the table resolved to control my interest in the underfed, I heard her make an engagement with a friend for a malted milk during the afternoon. How are you to know when they switch their courses? Pity the poor unemployed! A fine brownstone residence in the upper Forties has housed twenty indisposed gentlemen who, though our jobs, lived in comparative luxury for the last week. This arrangement would have been quite all right had the house belonged to them. But when they asked a few of their friends in for a week-end and the guests did not appear in the conventional week-end attire—luggage and all—the neighborhood policemen, who had already heard reports that there were ghosts in the house, offered to welcome the week-enders. Then it was discovered that the hosts were no more entitled to be there than were their invited friends. Someone got a key, opened up the place, started the phonegraph jazz, sent out for provisions, and entertained. The neighbors couldn't understand and selfishly enough, put an end to the gaiety. Perhaps this is the reason why the unemployed don't get around early in the morning when jobs are being passed out. After all, social life will interfere in the worst regulated livez. It took an entire crew of Hook and Ladder men, an ambulance surgeon and several policemen to remove Helen Rabinowitz's foot from a sidewalk vent the other day. Helen, who is only twenty months old, shoved her foot through an aperture in a steel sidewalk section, and there it stuck. Soap, tallow, and other persuasives were tried in valu. When all else failed, the firemen chopped away the steel for a foot around the baby's shoe. FARM BUREAU says lambs are short. But there are plenty in town.

One Sunday my aunt was visiting us and she said her girls took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and got well, so mother said she guessed she would let me try it. It is doing me good and I praise it highly. You are welcome to use this letter as a testimonial." — STELLA NEWTON, R. R. 8, Portland, Indiana. Mothers—You should carefully guard your daughter's health. Advise her of the danger which comes from standing around with cold or wet feet; from lifting heavy articles, or overworking. Do not let her overstudy. If she complains of headache, pains in back or lower limbs, or if you notice a slowness of thought, nervousness or irritability on the part of your daughter, give her careful attention. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is an excellent medicine for your daughter to take, as it is especially adopted to relieve just such symptoms. Remember it contains nothing that can injure and can be taken in safety. DANZ PIANO Co. THINK OF MUSIC Paragraphs S. H.

Then found this wonder and delight— A fragile, fragrant box of spring! Pale blossoms from the northern woods, Elusive pink or lustrous green, As delicate as butterflies, All iridescent glow and sheen. Cool fragrance from the northern woods, How may a mortal understand The mind that dreamed you into life, Then laid your beauty in my hand! Oh, I remember hills and woods, And perfumed winds that wildly blow Across the purple mountain tops, And song of wind and river's flow; And I remember melodies, The lilting joys that laugh and sing. Young Love in April, unafraid; Awake and bent on blossoming! A magic wand has waved for me; I see the wood, the fairy ring, And then, pink, fragile, like a bride, The lovely, luring soul of spring! —Elizabeth Newport Hepburn. Good Questions to Ask Yourself Who is your Congressman? Who is the Junior Senator from your State? Who is your Assemblyman? Who is the Lieutenant-Governor of your State? Was a Revenue Bill passed at this session of Congress? What is the Federal Trade Commission and how did it happen? How old is the Department of Labor as an independent department and the name of its second chief? What Congressional District do you live in? If the President and Vice-President should die, who would succeed? Do you know anything about politics? Letters From People Headquarters 91st Div. U. S.

Twisted Cords Running through the telephone cord are a number of delicate, flexible wires. "Kinks" are formed when this cord is allowed to become twisted, and some of these wires may be bent or broken. This means a "noisy" telephone line. You cannot hear or be heard as well. In fact, a twisted cord may cause a complete interruption of your service. Keeping the telephone cord straight will give you greater satisfaction in the use of your telephone.
