DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS If a man does not exercise his arm, he develops no biceps muscle; and if a man does not exercise his soul, he acquires no muscle in his soul, no strength of character, no vigor of moral fiber nor beauty of spiritual growth.—Henry Drumond. Moral courage is the bravest courage of all. Mix not politics with mud, for indistinuate campaign slinging. There should be no general strike in a vital industry without consent of the public. Everything has to be started, and the best citizen is the fellow who does the starting. A woman gets more thrill out of a cry if she has the shoulders of a good-looking man to weep upon. California is producing about 15,000,000 bushels of wheat this year, which is not at all a bad showing for a state which does not attempt to compete with Kansas or the Dakotas in volume of wheat produced. The California boy who came all the way from San Antonio, Texas, to San Diego by airplane in less than 10 hours actual flying time, probably chafed that he could not speed up a little and reach the home folks without keeping them waiting for dinner. Remember the public when there are industrial disputes to be adjusted. The public should be consulted before labor and capital calm voice of reason and fair play, expressed normally by the public, were heeded, industrial conflicts would be averted. In these industrial wars it is the INVEST OR SPECULATE? CONSIDER WELL! There is a clear, pronounced distinction between investment and speculation. The person with limited means should keep this distinction in mind. The California Corporation Commissioner commendably has taken steps to check the operations of certain promoters, in the interest of the public. This action is not fairly to be construed as being inimical to and condemnatory of all speculation. In developmental enterprises, there is legitimate place for speculation, and carried on within bounds of reason, it is helpful to the community, alding in establishment of industries. But there is a very actual, incapable element of risk in speculating—risk of partial or total loss of funds put into the speculation. Therefore, it wisely has been urged that only those persons of ample means who can afford to sustain losses, should-indulge in speculation. But in investments the basic principal is safety of income and principal. Investments are essentially secure. They do not promise the aluring returns that sometimes are made from speculation. But those who have studiously observed hold that the man who systematically invests his surplus with good judgment ultimately makes more money than the one who speculates, even though speculation may be conducted honestly, and may have reasonable chance to succeed. Caution and prudence should govern one in palcing money either in an investment or a speculation. Do not be rushed into it. Take time to investigate. And be as soundly assured as possible of the security of the venture. Any legitimate enterprise—investment or spucculative—welcomes inquiry. LATIN-AMERICA TRADE IS INCREASING Trade of the United States with Latin America is increasing, despite the fact that during the last year Remember the public when there are industrial disputes to be adjusted. The public should be consulted before labor and capital encaim voice of reason and fair play, expressed normally by the public, were heeded, industrial conflicts would be averted. In these industrial wars it is the innocent who suffer. The public has felt the sting of disaster, in the coal and rail strikes, even more keenly than have labor and capital. And yet these conflicts are precipitated without considering the public or its interests and immunities. This is manifestly unjust. Against this, public sentiment should be arrayed. There should be a representatively large vote in the forthcoming state primary. This is the people's opportunity to make choice of those who are to be the nominees in the November election. Any default on the part of the voters cannot be charged justly to anybody else or to any other condition. The voters either will do their duty or will not. The World War taught its ghastly lessons—lessons written in rivers of human blood. If those lessons are forgotten by the world, if that gruesome struggle—that appalling loss of blood and treasure—that unspeakable misery—does not bring the world to its senses and assure an era of unbroken peace, what, in heaven's name, would turn the world away from the shrine of gory Mars? For fifty years Luther Burbank has been conducting his wonderful experiments with plant life, with results which have astonished and thrilled the world. He is a hard worker yet, and seems to be bent upon giving mankind the benefits of his talents so long as he retains mental and physical vigor. The career of a man of the Luther Burbank type is a precious legacy to the world. Caution and prudence should govern one in palcing money either in an investment or a speculation. Do not be rushed into it. Take time to investigate. And be as soundly assured as possible of the security of the venture. Any legitimate enterprise—investment or spucculative—welcomes inquiry. LATIN-AMERICA TRADE IS INCREASING Trade of the United States with Latin America is increasing, despite the fact that during the last year there was a falling off in both imports and exports. That was a period of readjustment both in the United States and in the republics of Latin America. But the readjusting process is well along now and trade is steadily increasing between this country and its sister republics. They are buying more from America, and America is buying more from them. An encouraging feature is the fact that the United States is more than holding its own in its commerce with the republics of Latin America. There is reason to hope and to believe that this preponderance of trade with the United States will be maintained steadily, and that Europe never again will have the lion's share of commerce with Latin America. SOUL-CLEANING AT ZION CITY More than 2,000 persons confessed at the two days' confessional at Zion City, Ill. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, dry-cleaned souls at the rate of one minute. This is rather speedy. We fear some of the spots will come back. A deacon to prove he had overcome the tobacco habit, arose, pulled a large plug out of his pocket, then put it to his mouth and restored it intact to his pocket. His performance did not greatly impress Voliva. The great sensation came when a traveling salesman told how "when marooned in a small town he sought to relieve the monotony by attending a motion picture show." "Terrible," shouted Voliva. "I was alone in a small town for 16 hours and never went to the devil. Write your wife a letter every night." he ordered. The traveling man promised he would.

Great aches from little toe-corns grown. TALE WITH A BAD MORAL This pathetic story has reached London Punch from Vienna: About a year ago a man died, dividing his estate of 50,000 crowns between his two sons. One of them deposited his 25,000 crowns in the savings bank, where it still remains. The other expended his heritage in the purchase of wines; he has just finished drinking these, and has sold the empty bottels for 750,000 crowns! OUCH! Boston police think of adopting the "paper bullet" system originated by Police Commissioner Inches of Detroit. The paper bullets are birdshot wrapped in paper wads. They hurt when they hit, but stop just underneath the skin. Very fine for riot duty. But for handling crooks, the police had better stick to Mr. Colt's invention, and get plenty of target practice. A beanshooter never stopped a professional gunman. We saw a girl without rouge. She didn't look so bad. Stricken blind in the midst of performance. Ben Welsh, jolly coedian, uttered no word and gave sign. The play was in action and was his duty to go on. He knew physical limits of the stage, the settings, the entrances and the exits. The company's movements in all scenes were familiar. And so played throughout the evening, being to curtain calls in recognition of the applause. The audience did not know the tragic fact. Since then his spirit has steadfast refused to yield its buoyancy or courage to falter. He is carry forward his business plans as before undimmed hope and worthy ambition teeming in his optimistic program. Though sightless, he continued do his comedy act nightly, and searchlight seeking him out in the center of the stage finds him always smiling. "When I recover the use of eyes," he said, "I shall be in position, for I haven't lost any time from my work. No sitting around moping—nothing like that. If should wake up tomorrow morning and find everything all right again would be at the theater as usual. Maybe the rest will do my eyes good but I'm not worrying. Just just not my motto is 'Never say die.'" Obstacles, hardships, are the child and mallet which shape the strong life into beauty. Difficulties out splendid qualities and manly by the quarryman. But look again. Behold the magnificent satue, the monument, chiselled into grace and beauty, telling its grand story valor in the public square for centuries. The statute would have slept the marble forever but for the blast... The latest deadly forest fire is in northeastern Minnesota. Several have perished in the flames, hundreds have been made homeless and the losses are huge. That big conflagration it seems, is not due to human carelessness. Drought conditions in that aera heightened the peril. When the fire began, before a high wind, there was no stopping it. There are villages and towns in the forests of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan which gamble with Fate for their safety. They are built in the heart of the woodlands. Should a conflagration occur, with strong winds prevailing, destruction of every village and town in the path of the fire is sure. There are no effectual means of protecting settlements built that way. It would be wiser and safer if a wide space were cleared around every settlement in the forest reserves. If this were done the settlements would have a fighting chance to escape when conflagrations rage. PREVENT PROFITEERING IN COAL Profitteering in coal, which occurs within states, and not in interstate commerce, is to be left to the states to deal with according to Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce. That there will be attempts to plunder consumers, in the wake of the coal strike, is apparent. The states where such profitteering would be most in evidence should bestir themselves. The national government is preparing to deal sternly with those who would make excessive profits through interstate commerce. This godless greed should be circumvented. Governments, national and state, should exert themselves to the utmost to protect the people against the profitteers. Penalties should be made severe. For it would be an offense particularly flagrant to take advantage of the necessities of the people to extort inordinate gains from them. Mix talk, graft and salaries, and you get politics.

The frost, the snows, the tempests, the lightnings, are the rough teachers that bring the tiny acorn to the sturdy oak. Fierce winters are as necessary to it as long summers. It is its half-century's struggle with the elements for existence, wrestling with the storm, fighting for its life from the moment that it leaves the acorn that gives it value. Many a man has never found himself until he has lost his all, until baffled, rebuffed, thwarted, defeated, crushed in the opinion of those around him. Trails unlock his virtues; defeat is the threshold of his victory. Adversity stripped him only to discover him. Those who have the right kind of material in them will assert their personality and rise in spite of a thousand adverse circumstances. You cannot keep them down. Every obstacle only seems to add to their ability to get on. VIOLA DANA is seen today at the California in "The 14th Lover," a cute little picture. Lloyd Hamilton is also seen in a whizz comedy, "The Rain Makers." There are also several vaudeville features. Hide your troubles, and then forget where you put them.

(The Manufacturer) As the people complain about growing tax burdens they are solvely coming to a realization of the fact that the load they are carrying is largely a result of their own acts. That is, they have been willing to adopt without counting the cost in advance, every new-fangled idea proposed relative to city, county or state government or our system of public education. The public has a right to demand that candidates for public office be qualified for the positions they are to fill and they have a right to defend business administration of public affairs. It is unfair, however, to elect a man to office on an economy and business platform and in the same election vote for the passage of various measures which add millions to the tax burden of the state. If the people do this they have but themselves to blame when the tax collector comes around. As the family keeps within its income, prosperers and produces, good citizens as a result of the example set by the father and mother in the daily life of the family, so will the state grow and develop and keep its tax requirements reasonable in proportion to the thought and intelligence manifested by the members of this great collective family; namely, its citizens. Public officials are merely the hired employees of the people. The average employee will furnish good or bad service according to the examples set him by his employers. Go to the polls and vote carefully on public affairs as you would on matters affecting your own family life. Do not vote to expend public funds and then kick at paying the What Is The True Church?
