Giving pleasure enriches the giver; giving pain impoverishes the giver. Besure that you are registered properly before July 29. Be prepared to vote in the August primaries. Mr Harding does not have the same exalted opinion of the United States Senate that he once held. The public should not be ground down under the heel of capital and labor as they indulge in bitter strife. The promary election system should not be rejected unless it be something better. Nothing better has been deviced yet. Every eligible elector should register before July 29, to be qualified to vote in the August promaries. Voting in the primaries is fully as important as voting in the general election. Industrial peace is to be desired at all times. It can be attained only throughout the realm of industry, and through a spirit of conciliation on the part of capital and labor. Peace based upon unfairness and inequity would not last long. As emergent force, the powers and prerogatives of the national government come into prominence. Especially in those paternalistic activities which have to do with protecting the interests and subserving the welfare of the public in industrial struggles. Time was, when government stood back without interposing GOVERNMENT IN NEED OF BUSINESS METHODS Much is said about it, academically — "business in government." It sounds well. But if it begins and ends in mere sound it will be of no value to the people. What the people want is not mere talk about business in government, but actual business in government—real applying of real business principles and methods to the conducting of the affairs of the government. Upon this taxpayers should insist. Their insistence should begin before the primaries, among candidates. Their insistence should be kept up after the primaries—after nominations have been made and before final election. And after election they should persist in demanding that the business of government be conducted along the lines of approved procedure in successful private business. "Business in government—the utmost economy in government." This should be the lasting slogan of the people. It should be in the minds and on the lips of voters and should shape their political judgments, in large measure. If voters are persevering and firm in demanding more businesslike handling of governmental affairs they will get what they desire. CROPS ARE DOING WELL IN CALIFORNIA Favorable reports come from the deciduous orchards and the grain fields of California. Weather conditions generally have been favorable to the ripening of fruits and the growing of grain. While the yield of fruits in some localities is much lessened because of frost damage last spring, yet the excellence of the crop and the scarcity of fruit bring the growers correspondingly larger returns. This status prevails every year of leased production. When either the Comms turn to Paris to study of the result this country, find the evils of production of the principle is indefensible tha one-half of the p "violently forcing accept its opinion should be permit desire for drink w submit.

But with their great c ent supporters o As emergent crisis, the powers and prerogative of the national government come into prominence. Especially in those paternalistic activities which have to do with protecting the interests and subserving the welfare of the public in industrial struggles. Time was, when government stood back without interposing and let the two great industrial forces grash at each other and wreak disaster upon the public. But there has evolved a new conception of governmental responsibility and duty. "The powers that be" are powers indeed in looking carefully after the weal of the public and in restraining the elements that would thrust hardships upon the people with cruel disregard of what is right and just. Government, ideally, should be a potent balancing force, dispensing even-handed justice among all classes with favoritism toward none, restraining those that would take undue advantage of others, and maintaining equal opportunities for all. Because of the frailties and infirmities and imperfections of human nature this ideal never is attained fully. But there should be constant striving to approximate its attainment. CALIFORNIA Favorable reports come from the deciduous orchards and the grain fields of California. Weather conditions generally have been favorable to the ripening of fruits and the growing of grain. While the yield of fruits in some localities is much lessened because of frost damage last spring, yet the excellence of the crop and the scarcity of fruit bring the growers correspondingly larger returns. This status prevails every year of leased production. When either the deciduous or the citrus crops, or both, are damaged by frost and when the production is decreased thereby, a better market is found for the lessened yield. Seldom is there serious damage to fruit crops, the state over. And these infrequent seasons of lighter crops bring better prices, as stated. Consequently, orchardists are pretty well compensated, even in seasons of decreased production. A practicable method for California growers is to diversify their crops and not depend wholly upon one kind of fruit. If the grower has sufficient acreage, it is well to have several varieties of fruit and perhaps to raise some crops other than fruit, so that no season can he-suffer a total loss.

Think of it—without re- The Telephone Instrument The telephone is a highly sensitive, delicately adjusted instrument. Think of it—without regard to distance, instantaneously reproducing every tone of the human voice. The quality of its service, in great measure, depends upon careful use. As with your watch, automobile or piano—the more care, better results. Among the "out of order" reports received by the company, many result from the carelessness of the subscriber. A telephone may fall from desk or stand, breaking the mouthpiece or throwing the apparatus out of adjustment. The cord may become twisted; meaning a "noisy" line. A damp cloth laid on the cord or the moisture from an open window may cause the "short circuit" and an entire interruption of service. All of these things are avoidable with the exercise of slight care. In protecting the telephone equipment you are protecting your own service. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying "FAILURES" OF PROHIBITION—New York Evening Post M. Ernest Guy, who has just returned to Paris after two months' study of the results of prohibition in this country, finds that chief among the evils of prohibition is its violation of the principle of democracy. It is indefensible that in a free country one-half of the population should be "violently forcing" the other half to accept its opinions or that the rich should be permitted to satisfy their desire for drink while the poor must submit. From these remarks it is plain that our visitor may have observed some things for himself—he rejects any connection between Volstead and the supposed increase in the drug evil and in crime—but it is plain that he took many more things on hearsays. It is hearty to speak of one-half the American people forcing prohibition on the other half. It would be nearer the truth to say four-fifths of the American people forcing prohibition on the other fifth. Even that is a respectable minority, but it is just as well to have the facts. The history of the steady progress of prohibition through the decades, its pre-Volstead conquest of the country by counties and states—these facts should long ago have disposed of the legend of prohibition being put over on the people of the United States. As to the feeling of resentment among the poor because prohibition discriminates against them in favor of those who can afford to do business with the bootleger, it is undeniable that such sentiment exists. But this condition is vastly exaggerated, just as the difference between rich and poor in access to forbidden liquor is exaggerated. On this point there is one concrete piece of evidence. If anti-prohibition resentment among the masses were anything like what it is asserted to be, we should expect the feeling to find expression in that part of the press which regards itself as the special champion of the masses. But these newspapers, with their great circulation, are fervent supporters of prohibition. NEW YORK, July 17.—Have you ever had the foolish desire of losing yourself and getting away from everybody and everything for a period of time? It can be done. Johnson Frank Kirkpatrick of this city has been missing for three years and now turns up a cheery lad of sixteen where he has been or what he has undergone. This victim of amnesia returned to his previous existence only to be clapped into a hospital and submitted to the inquiries and examinations of numerous eminent medical authorities. Not liking the ordeal he promptly disappeared again evaporating into thin air. If one could get away for a time and live one's own life it is not to be wondered at that they would return when surrounded by such tedious investigation. The search is on again for this wayward lad.

But this condition is vastly exaggerated, just as the difference between rich and poor in access to forbidden liquor is exaggerated. On this point there is one concrete piece of evidence. If anti-prohibition resentment among the masses were anything like what it is asserted to be, we should expect the feeling to find expression in that part of the press which regards itself as the special champion of the masses. But these newspapers, with their great circulation, are fervent supporters of prohibition. They abound in cartoons drawing the contrast between the worker burning up his week's wages in the old time gin mill and the same worker with his happy family thronging the movie theaters. To one of the Hearst magazines Dr. Woods Hutchison contributes a triumphant vindication of prohibition in the form of better health figures, lower mortality figures, testimony of social betterment from school teachers, direct nurses, police chiefs, and charitable organizations. To this testimony might be added the indirect testimony inherent in the extraordinary manner in which the American working class has met the exigencies of nearly two years of industrial depression. War savings are undoubtedly the explanation in part, but unquestionably liquor savers with a doctor, But we want to know what is bad for them. It is a general rule that as a man gains riches, he loses health; and the greater the gain, the greater the loss. HOT POTATOES Found — a girl who doesn't want to go into the movies! She is Marian F. Anderson, beautiful Boston blonde, 17 years old. A Goldwyn movie scout, looking for possibilities, offered her a screen job. She refused — because my mother wouldn't want me to go into the movies, and I wouldn't do anything that my mother didn't want me to do." Parents whose children are as hard to handle as hot potatoes will reflect that Miss Anderson's unusual attitude is enough to make her a drawing card in the movies, regardless of beauty. The species is almost extinct. In Texas, they are seeing rainbows at night. The outlook is very bright here, also. Well! Well! Well! Well!

PROPER THINKING PRESIDENT LOWELL, of Harvard University, in his baccalaureate sermon, told Harvard's graduating class that mankind is always led ultimately, by those whose thinking is "clear, conscientious and generous." That is true; and never was there greater need for proper thinking than today. The world is on edge. A changing epoch is before us. Unless thinking is "clear, conscientious and generous" the world is destined to resist progress and lose its pace. NINETEEN seniors at an Dhlo girls' college are engaged.

I'm not giving these figures for the sake of alarming possible visitors away from our streets; but just because we really take a sort of pride in any big figures about the city, no matter what they are about.
