DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Till David touched his sacred lyre, In silence lay the unbreathing wire; But when he swept its chords along, Ev'n angels stooped to hear that song So sleeps the soul till Thou, O Lord. Shalt deign to touch its lifeless chord: Till, waked by Thee, its breath shall rise In music worthy of the skies. —Thomas Moore. About this year's California ballot —too long, too long! Abuse is the poorest, flimsiest kind of argument in politics. The shorter the ballot, the more intelligently can it be voted. Europe needs some more red corpuscles in its economic blood. The influence of women in politics is salutary and for betterment in government. Mr. Harding's opinion of the senate today differs widely from his opinion of it when he was a member of that body. If all the people who want to come to California were here, this state would be as thickly popped, per square mile, as Belgium. It is to be hoped that the present is the dark hour before the dawn of better times and conditions, industrially, in the United States. Members of mobs do not "take the law into their own hands," as sometimes expressed, but put the law under their feet and trample upon it. Thirty measures on the California ballot this year is fully twenty-four too many. There should be shorten- CHINA'S FRIENDSHIP IS NEEDED BY U. S. China's friendship is worth more to the United States than China's trade, in the opinion of William Churrh Osborne, distinguished lawyer, educator and student of international relations. Mr. Osborn's conviction is that "the psychological, political and strategic importance of friendship with China is greater than its commercial significance." The principal natural resource of China, he observes, is its mighty manpower. Organized and used efficiently, this manpower would give wonderful service to the world. It is wasted largely, now, because it is not organized. "The Chinese have immense capacity and startling limitations." Leadership, as Mr. Osborn says, quickly would measure capacity and decrease limitations. In the end this leadership must be exercised by the Chinese themselves. But Americans can help create it and shape it. "If we wish the most effective international relations," says Mr. Osborn, "we must make friendships with the strongest peoples; it is evident to me that the Chinese are potentially by far the strongest of the asiatic peoples." Something to engage the earnest attention of statesmen and diplomats at Washington. The United States long has had the friendship of the government and people of China. It would be easy to foster this friendship and to push it to the extent of developing China under American leadership. WONDERS OF INVENTION TAKEN FOR GRANTED The phonograph, in the forty-five years since it was invented, has been evolved into one of the marvels of modern times. Its evolution has been amazing. The wonderful reproductions of today are incomparably better. If Wall s ceiling debt it preaches... It is to be hoped that the present is the dark hour before the dawn of better times and conditions, industrially, in the United States. Members of mobs do not "take the law into their own hands," as sometimes expressed, but put the law under their feet and trample upon it. Thirty measures on the California ballot this year is fully twenty-four too many. There should be shortening and simplification of the ballots. Industry does not exist for the benefit of capital alone, or labor alone, or for the benefit of both of them, but for the benefit of all the people as well. The rule of war to the knife and knife to the hilt, between capital and labor, is a ruinous rule—a rule that entails cruel and unjustifiable hardships upon the masses of the people. It is a libel upon the taste and common sense of the American people to proceed on the theory that news must be served them spiced with exaggerations and seasoned with sensationalisu. One of the wonders of the world today is the advancement that is being made in aeronautics. Ad yet, so accustomed to marvels has the world become, this progress in airships creates hardly a ripple of wondering comment. Abraham Lincoln, while one of the greatest of men, yet was one of the simplest and least ostentatious. His simplicity was child-like, and yet it was an ornament to his illustrious character. WONDERS OF INVENTION TAKEN FOR GRANTED The phonograph, in the forty-five years since it was invented, has been evolved into one of the marvels of modern times. Its evolution has been amazing. The wonderful reproductions of today are incomparably better than the scratchy, squeaky sounds that the first crude models emitted. In this, as in other great inventions, Thomas A. Edison has given the world a boon. The intelligent world is becoming sophisticated as to great inventions. The wonders of the phonograph, of motion pictures, of the radio, or aeronauties, all are accepted as a matter of course. The most wonderful inventive achievements cease to create wonder. The most wonderful products of inventive skill cause only passing thrill. Up-to-date folk are attuned to marvelous things. They expect the wondrous, and take no particular notice of it and are unemotional when it comes. When there is one scandal in a neighborhood or community, there are scores and hundreds of persons who lead lives devoid of scandal. The one scandal gets into the papers, and there are shallow-thinking persons who conclude therefrom that the world is going to the bad, forgetting the scores and hundreds of families where there is no scandal. Those who judge the world by what they read in sensational newspapers, are warped in their judgment. Stability starts with the crude One of the most important requirements of a good motor oil is that it possess stability—that is, that it maintain its chemical composition and its lubricating body under all conditions of engine operation. If an oil changes its chemical composition—"breaks down"—at high operating temperatures, it can no longer maintain a lubricating film between the bearing surfaces, and its value as a lubricant is destroyed. Certain crude oils possess a higher degree of One of the most important requirements of a good motor oil is that it possess stability—that is, that it maintain its chemical composition and its lubricating body under all conditions of engine operation. If an oil changes its chemical composition—"breaks down"—at high operating temperatures, it can no longer maintain a lubricating film between the bearing surfaces, and its value as a lubricant is destroyed. Certain crude oils possess a higher degree of stability than others. Because of its large production of practically every type of crude, this company is free to choose for the making of Zerolene only those crudes which are particularly adapted for the purpose. The Patented Vacuum Process In the process of distilling and refining these selected crudes, it is of the greatest importance not to destroy their natural "oiliness" and stability. For this reason we employ our own patented high-vacuum process exclusively. By this process the oil produced—Zerolene—retains all the natural "oiliness" and stability of the original, selected crude from which it is made. No other refiner on the Pacific Coast uses any form of vacuum distillation. No other refiner in the United States uses as high a vacuum as this company. Zerolene of the correct grade for your car gives perfect lubrication and permits the development of maximum power, speed and gasoline mileage.

Says Lil' Dip Dip, the office diver: "Figures never lie in a bathing suit." The German mark was selling, a few minutes ago for $833 for a dollar. It would take a lot of 'em, wouldn't it, to buy a Christmas dinner in Paris? We sincerely trust that the patriots at Washington protect this infant industry from foreign competition in the tariff bill. The common stock of the American Woolen Co. was quoted in 1915 at $16. What do senators suppose it was quoted for in 1920? One hundred and sixty-nine dollars. * * That is all, and that was during the war, from clothing that our soldiers had to wear—I do not know how many war contracts they had—and that our people had to wear during those years.—Senator Walsh (D.) Mass. CANCELLATION Some Wall street bankers, notoriously generous (with other people's money), second the motion about Uncle Sam canceling the loans he made to Europe. Step behind the scenes. In addition to these government loans, Europe owes private Americans somewhere between $3,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000. Part of this sum, known as "the unfunded credit balance," represents the sale of exported goods that haven't been paid for. Obviously, the transactions have been financed through banks. If Wall street is so keen about canceling debts, it could practice what it preaches by digging into its Abe Martin COMMENTS OF THE PRESS DEFIANCE OF LAW PLANNER They never sleep—the interest which thrive upon violations of law. Taking fright at the fact now established that the Wright Prosecution Enforcement law will be supported by every law-abiding citizen—the enemies of the Eighteenth Amendment plan a wholesale delivery of courts, sheriffs and minor enforcement officers into the wet camp. The conspiracy is wide spread and is distinct to law and order in California. On August 29th a primary election will be held in which thousands of officials will be selected whose business will be to arrest offenders against the Wright brothers. In every county, city and town there are candidates for these offices who are secretly backed by the well-financed organization opposed to prohibition. Often the candidates pose as drys. It is the most subtle and dangerous issue which is presented to people in the coming primary. Vote for no man until you make the most searching inquiry. This is the time to avoid the pitfall of politics. WISE AND WITTY Lawsuits are what Sherman war is. All religions teach some truth, no religion teaches all. You can always find loafers men who are working how thing ought to be done. When we are not running to train us, we are waiting for them. A Real Cord Tire for Small Cars at a Popular Price The new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord in the 30 x 3½ inch clincher type is a tire that the small car owner will warmly welcome. It gives him, at a price lower than the net price he is asked to pay for many "long discount" tires, every advantage of quality cord tire performance, for it is a quality tire through and through. It is made of high-grade long-staple cotton; it embodies the reliable Goodyear quality of materials; its clean-cut tread engages the road like a cogwheel. The scientific distribution of rubber in this tread—the wide center rib and the semi-flat contour—gives a thick, broad surface that is exceedingly slow to wear. The tough tread stock in this tire is carried down the side-walls clear to the bead, making it rut-proof to an extraordinary degree. In every particular it is a representative Goodyear product, built to safeguard the world-wide Goodyear reputation. reliable Goodyear quality of materials; its clean-cut tread engages the road like a cogwheel.

Moore, candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator, is not only one of the west's biggest and ablest business men and engineers, but he is the largest olive grower in the state, and understands every phase of this important California industry, from the care of the tree to the production and marketing of ripe olives and olive oil. Mr. Moore's extensive olive holdings lie close to Los Angeles, in the heart of California. He is the principal owner, and directs the production and marketing of the crop from 1,600 acres of bearing trees—400 acres at Rialto, and 1,200 acres at Sylmar, in the San Fernando valley, where 1,000 tons of ripe olives are annually preserved and 1,500 tons crushed for olive oil. The products of the Sylmar Packing Corporation, principally owned and directed by Charles C. Moore, are nationally known. The selling organization of the corporation centers in California, and radiates to all portions of the United States. In the olive industry alone Mr. Moore has in his employ more than 150 men and women in the factory, and over 300 employees on the ranches during the picking, packing and crushing seasons. Combined with this vast olive industry, the largest of its kind in the United States, it not in the world, is that of preserving figs and pimientos, and the planting and growing of large acreages of these commodities. On the lands owned individually by Mr. Moore, or by the company he controls, the scope of these industries are constantly being extended; with the result that more men and women are being employed year by year in the labor, and supporters of Mr. Moore point out that his first hand knowledge of these important California industries, together with his wide business experience, fit him far better for the high post to which he aspires than most men who are willing to serve their state and country as United States senator.
