DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS They are dying of famine in China and they are squandering fortunes in the gay centers of America and Europe. How does God look upon such things? President Obregon, of Mexico, has decided not to try to hold his breath until he is given official recognition by the United States government. It might not be amiss, in view of the experience of the Madalynne Obenchain jury in Los Angeles, to equip murder-trial juries with Maxim silencers and pacifiers. Respect law. Obey laws instinctively. Have a lively conscience commanding you to obedience to law at all times, in all circumstances. The law is a refuge to those who respect it. The man who intentionally and wilfully neglects his family, leaving them to embarrassment and suffering because of his negligent, is guilty of a species of cowardice that is contemptible. The fact persists—and it should be emphasized often—that the poor boy has a chance in this country, if he have pluck and ability, to rise to distinction. Opportunities for advancement abound today, as they ever did. Those aliens who hate the government and institutions of the United States should not enter this country. There is no welcome in the United States for the human vipers that would sting the bosom of the country that nourishes them. The United States is developing a trained diplomatic force. Presidents, of late years, have been retaining EUROPE IN VERY SORRY CONDITION Europe is in desperate economic plight. But hardly so badly off as some commentators make appear. Thad mere fact that some countries, on the face of the present situation, are virtually bankrupt, does not necessarily mean that all Europe will revert to savagery—that the whole structure of civilization will crash. Men have gone bankrupt and then have rallied and made tremendous success, retrieving their sorry fortunes and making themselves square with the world. Nations are but collections of men and women. What one man can do in this, a nation can do also. Europe is in real economic throes—there is no doubt of it. But there is hope for the old continent. It is not inexorably doomed to economic perdition. It can save itself if it will. There should be enough statesmenhip and enough spirit of co-operation and humanity over there to solve the problem, ultimately. Self-help is the indicated remedy. Europe must not expect the United States to bear the brunt of its burdens. GRIM TREATMENT HERE FOR OUTLAWS Los Angeles County deputy sheriffs have set pace in exemplary treatment of murderous criminals. This county is invaded annually by bands of desperate outlaws from metropolitan centers of the East. It long has been a serious problem, how to deal with them effectually. Many murders have been committed by these gangs, in cold blood. These desperate characters each and all are potential murderers. They deserve no consideration, when caught in the commission of reckless crimes. In such circumstances, it is a question of the officers killing or wounding the deseradoes, or the desperadoes killing new York. jail is having housing a woman the jail known Club", the place sent for content the contempt co to pay their alim Fallani Marleani fact that a woman matrimonial affair landing in Ludlow little attention to loyal bonds that go It was too much people's.

There is no welcome in the United States for the human vipers that would sting the bosom of the country that nourishes them. The United States is developing a trained diplomatic force. Presidents of late years, have been retaining experienced, seasoned men in the diplomatic service. This is wise. The type of diplomats now representing this country at the principal courts of the world reflect credit upon the government and the people of the United States. Bench and bar should be able to do much toward influencing reforms in legal procedure. Lawyers and judges see the need of reform and feel it more keenly than any other element of the population. Their conversancy with legal processes fits them especially for recomending betterments. There should be a quickening of effect along this line. Prevalence of shocking crimes in this country shoul receive the earnest, remedy-seeking attention of all. It is not undue alarmism to assert that this country is drifting far toward a maelstrom of lawlessness. It behooves every well-disposed citizen to concern himself or herself with the discovery of curatives and the applying of same. CALIFORINA FRUITS IN FINE CONDITION July was a favorable month for fruit crops in California. Apples, in particular, are in excellent condition. From all of the present indications the crop will be 10 per cent greater than the ten-year average. Other deciduous fruits are promising well. It is estimated that the state's yield of apples will be almost 8,000,000 boxes. This should supply abundance of this delicious, wholesome fruit at reasonable prices to the consumer. Even though there may be untoward conditions, at times, California's fruit yield on their hole is always notably heavy and profitable. So diverse are its orchard products and so great in volume, this state is sure of handsome returns even in a comparatively poor crop year. “DURO” Residence Water Systems “DURO” Residence Water Systems supply the need of the country dweller in every particular.

That is the jail known as the "Alimony Club", the place where husbands are sent for contempt of court, when the contempt consists in neglecting to pay their alimony on the dot. Mrs. Fallani Marleani has established the fact that a woman, too, can err in matrimonial affairs to the extent of landing in Ludlow-st. It wasn't too little attention to her own matrimonial bonds that got her there, though. It was too much attention to other people's. When Mrs. Benfante heard her fellow-country-woman quoted as explaining that Mr. Benfante was her soul-mate, it seemed time to act. The judge paid the accused siren the tribute of placing her bail at $1,500 on the charge of alienation of affections. Mr. Benfante was willing to put up his property as security, but—irony!—Mrs. Benfante had a dower right in it all and wouldn't let him. So there is the alienator in Ludlow jail. It's tree-leaves that make your motor run smoothly! That's the latest edict and it comes from an authority. J. E. Pennypacker, of this city, chief economist of the U. S. Bureau of Public roads and former secretary of the American Highway Ass'n, believes that motorists generally should take more interest in the public roads movement—a selfish interest, if nothing else, because good roads mean direct saving of gasoline and in upkeep as well as adding to the comfort of the motorist. "And while he is advocating good roads," Mr. Pennypacker says, "the motorist should see that trees are planted alongside the smooth asphalt of bituminous macadam road. Motors run more smoothly." In the home any more than man's. Here we had a cooking contest in one of our schools—the other day, and the first prize went to the muffins baked by Adolph Kramer, aged eleven. Whether Adolph will cherish his prize and point to it with pride hen he is seconteen remains to be seen. We know that he will when he is seventy. There is no step of the social ladder which New York has not experienced recently. Right after the case of the Prince de Bourbon, who turned out to be an ex-restaurant cook, and even ex-er-than that, a millhand, with no royal blood anywhere in the family—just ambition, then here comes the Spanish count, whose claims seem sound, who has been posing as a plain working man and working quietly in a local department store. The most ambitious thing he has tried—and he accomplished it—was to marry a New Jersey school teacher the other day. Flora Nelson is now Countess de Jiminez and the Count continues to be a clerk. "No, I don't want to go back to Spain. I like department stores," he says. But his name which sounds like a joke is very real, say those who have investigated. Ethel Barrymore's first play of the season will be "Hedda Gabler", in which she will be seen at the Long-acre Theatre. She will play other Ibsen roles later in the season. And we hear that John Barrymore will be seen in Eugene O'Neill's, "The Fountain". First reports were that brother Lionel was to have that play and John was to keep on in the films, but since everyone is satisfied with everything just so it's a Barrymore playing in it, we are quite satisfied with the change from one of them to With Ford production up to par Another problem Henry faces; He's getta figure out a way To find a billion parking places.

We told you, when Woodrow Wilson wrote the letter calling Senator COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING TRIBUTE IS PAID New York Post Conquest of the Arctic and Antarctic was only at the end of the first stage when Peary reached the North and Anundson and Scott the South Pole. The process of filling in the map behind these victors, impeded by the war, is being resumed again with fresh energy. Sir Ernest Shackleton's death removes an explorer who, though with a record of twenty years of achievement behind him, was only 48, and believed the best part of his career before him. There is no story of polar adventure since Hakluyt compiled those of Frobisher and Davis, more thrilling than that of Shackleton's Antarctic expedition of 1914-16. He and his crew of twenty-six lost their ship in the midst of the Weddell Sea, the most treachurous waters known to science, 1,200 miles from the nearest whaling station. The terrible task of dragging their heavy boats over the grinding pack and drifting and sledging to safety was accomplished without loss of a man. Shackleton's little Quest, equipped with radio, airplane, Kelvite sounding machine, and other unusual apparatus, was planned to give the best demonstration yet seen of the practical usefulness of continued polar exploration. He intended to search out harbors useful as whaling stations; to discover new coal deposits, as he did in 1907-09; to find an island for a mid-Pacific wireless station; to make a hydrographic survey, obtain ocean soundings, and gather meteorological information, and to may thousands of miles of unknown coast. His crew was a crew exclusively of scientists. The expedition is sadly crippled, but not defeated, and Commander Frank Wild, who has served with both Mawson and Shackleton, will carry on.

Per yr. $3; six months $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anahelm, Cal., as second-class matter A Higher Humanity A famous Scandinavian author wrote a book some years ago around the thought that to have God in the world we must put Him here. It was a fiction form of the scriptural phrase, "Ye are even my witness." And another writer widely read today speaks of the "cement of a higher humanity" which "will unite all interests in the one divinity," or, the one divinity which is God will be brought out or manifested the world around by the bond of a higher humanity. All writers are expressing the same truth, but it seems as if that phrase, "a higher humanity," is the torch that reveals the way. A higher humanity. What is the full import of those three words? A true understanding of them and the demonstration of this understanding in actual living might bring into human experience the joy and happiness and satisfaction that life is expected to give. All through the centuries the effort has been made to achieve a higher humanity. Health boards and medical officers, under one name or another, have labored assiduously to improve the health of mankind. Educators have done all in their power to develop mental abilities and broaden mental horizons. Those who care for the spiritual life have not lagged behind. And yet we seem to be in a rather bad way. We are no doubt an improvement upon the case man. At least we are vain enough to think we are, though after honest reflection upon the World War we may be forced to the conclusion that we have changed our methods and not our natures. At any rate, with all our striving, we evidently have not yet arrived universally at being the "witnesses of good," which, as the Scandinavian writer expresses it, will "put God into the world." We have not yet reached that "higher humanity" thru which divinity will be universally expressed. Since with all our strenuous and well-meaning efforts we have not yet attained the goal, would it not perhaps be helpful to scrutinize with impersonal and merciless eye our methods. Something, surely, must be wring with them. Effort is there. Good intention is there. Yet, judging by conditions the world over today, the column foots up wrong. In other fields of endeavor we know that the most strenuous of efforts and the very best of intentions will not make up for lack of knowing the rule. We cannot get a desired chemical result without knowing the rule of the right chemical combinations. We cannot get a correct mathematical result without a knowledge of the rule that applies to the problem. Perhaps it might be well to pause in our feverish efforts to improve humanity and see if we are using the right rule. That phase, "a highe humanity," has depths in it worth probing. And in this connection two well known sayings come to mind: "The Kingdom of God someth not with observation, neither shall they say, 'Lo, here!'" or "Lo, there!" for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you;" and "Not by might nor by power, but by My spirit saith the Lord of Hosts." WISE AND WITTY Talk is cheap, and preachers' salaries prove it. The business of a neighbor is to give you a bad reputation. The man who cares more for truth than for votes never gets elected? People try everything before they try plain sense. I am in favor of devoting some of this Red Cross money to raising the salaries of teachers and preachers. A lie comes close to being a virtue when you employ it to protect a woman or a friend. New ideas have to be exaggerated, or no one will pay much attention to them.
