DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Not always on the mount may we Rapt in the heavenly vision be; The shores of thought and feeling know The spirit's tidal ebb and flow. —Frederick L. Hosmer. The flies of prosperity should not be smothered by wet blankets of pessimism. Insincerity mars character. The insincere persons harms himself or herself more than the victim of the sincerity is harmed. The people should give their governmental representatives a mandate to spend public funds economically and then should see to it that this mandate is respected. The whole Christian world should be unified in resisting the domination of any part of Europe by the Turks, with resultant bloody persecutions of Christian peoples there. The Bible stands unshaken, majestic, triumphant, through the ages. Indisputable evidences that there is a God and an eternal existence abide with those who have the vision of faith. There is a very long ballot to be voted in California in November. There are important measures on it. There are important candidacies. It behooves all to study the ballot with scrupulous care. Radio has brought into general use a great flock of new terms. It is coming to pass that one who would keep up-to-date must needs add extensively to one's vocabulary, from time to time. Give automobiles a fair show between street intersections. Pedestrians are as much out of place walking across streets midway of blocks FLY ACROSS POLE PLAN Capt. Roald Amundsen, eminent conqueror of the poles of the earth, is preparing to cross the North Pole by airship. It is announced by one who had just come from Captain Amundsen's quarters in the far North that the doughty explorer and his pilot will leave Wainwright, Alaska, the latter part of next May in the fateful trip which is designed to reveal topographic and air conditions, and other phenomena as they exist at the northern end of the earth's axis. The flight, as planned, is to be from Alaska to Spitzbergen, a distance of about 1700 miles. It is Captain Amundsen's plan to make the flight without stop. The days are long in May in the hyperborean regions and Captain Amundsen it is said will start his flight on the first day of sunshine. While this attempt is daring, yet its success is probable. Captain Amundson is a careful man. He is familiar with conditions in high latitudes. He knows the obstacles and the adverse aspects of such an enterprise. He is preparing elaborately to overcome these. Should he succeed, he will become the pioneer aerial explorer of the Poles. And once the way is broken, flights across the Poles will become frequent in the years to come. GREATER HUMANENESS The commission of jurists, authorized by the Arms Conference to consider changes in the rules of warfare, particularly with reference to new agencies of armed conflict, is to meet at The Hague in December, of this year. John Bassett Moore, noted authority on international law, has been chosen to represent the United States in this conference. The whole body of international law as it affects the methods of warfare is to be studied thoroughly and recommendations are to be made for betterments. So long as the world is not absolutely proof against the outbreak of armed conflicts, it is highly proper and immensely important that the There are important measures on it. There are important candidacies. It behooves all to study the ballot with scrupulous care. Radio has brought into general use a great flock of new terms. It is coming to pass that one who would keep up-to-date must needs add extensively to one's vocabulary, from time to time. Give automobiles a fair show between street intersections. Pedestrians are as much out of place walking across streets midway of blocks as automobiles would be out of place on the sidewalks. Few persons express moderate views on the new tariff law. Its friends and proponents praise it very highly; its enemies condemn it very strongly. It best can be judged, however, by its operations. One must play with zest, as well as work with zest, to be benefited by the playing. One day's zestful recreation does more good than whole week of listless idling. Grown-ups should play as children play—with complete abandon. It would be in order for the public to go on strike against ruthless, hurtful strikes in vital industries. To its credit, however, the public is not disposed to retaliate for the wrongs inflicted upon it in industrial controversies. It should demand, however, that these wrongs cease. The good citizen cannot evade his duty in good citizenship without bringing upon the community a long train of governmentalills. For his own sake, individually, and for the good of the community, the good citizen should be an habitual voter and participate actively in political affairs. SUMMER HAS BEEN HARD ON DECORATIONS It's no wonder that the paint is marred and the walls show so much wear. Windows open twenty-four hours a day, with children home all summer, make a home a home—but they're hard on decorations.

Center St. TOWN IN REVIEW Poultry men here just learn that jazz music is being used up at Petaluma to speed up the hens. To date they haven't laid any scrambled eggs. Turkey, the sick man of Europe, is really the slick man. Henry Ford says he will devote his immense fortune to giving more men jobs. Henry has done more than his share now. Nearly every other man repairs flivvers. Soz Lil' Gee Gee, the office vamp: "The height of discretion lies somewhere between the short skirt, evil and the long skirt peril." Talk is cheap. That is why it is called the gift of gab. SIEVE Carrie E. Scott, head of the children's department of Indianapolis public library, says there are too many cases of metal indigestion among children, due to choosing "all sweets and desserts" in reading. She strikingly compares a public library to a cafeteria. "Mental indigestion" is a word combination that covers the nation like the morning dew. The stomach is said to waste only nine out of each one hundred mouthfuls of food. The brain digests and stores nine, loses the rest. In one ear, out the other, Intellect is a filter. US UMPH-LIKE FELLERS "The latter the waistline, the more fashionable the gown," is the latest from Paris. Gosh, but it's great to be in style again. Butter is still going up!—a fellow tells us. The last we had was 34 cents. New York churches may show a considerable falling off in summer attendance, but never before have we had so much out-of-door religious expression as during the summer just past. The street corner services amounted almost to the revivals of former times. The Brooklyn Federation of Churches sent out a gospel wagon which held street meetings six nights a week; Sunday morning services were held in Central Park; and a number of the city churches held open-air services throughout the season. The crowds gathered, too, and listened as attentively as ever did a congregation in the church pews. The duties of our policemen are as manifold as are their courtesies. Yesterday, a woman stopped to ask a traffic cop for instructions on how to find a certain street number. After he had given them carefully, he added, "Pardon me, madam, but there is some egg on your lip." The woman thanked him more enthusiastically than she had for the street directions. Probably nowhere in the country are husbands thought of as rakish, selfishly worldly men more than in New York. Yet here is just one example of their complete subjection: I was riding on a Third avenue elevated train the other day, and as the train stopped at a station, I saw through the second story window into a modest apartment. There stood a man, attired in his wife's dress, while she was on her knees putting trimming on it. Taxi drivers are about as human as anyone also when it comes down to it. An old man stood hesitatingly at the corner of a crowded street PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quillen Even the man who is deaf to reason can hear money talk. Nobody ever thinks to try an injunction on the bootleggers. Another fine thing about travel is that it teaches you to appreciate home. Assurance of better times was brought back in a dove's bill, not in a tariff bill. The restless youngster who is forever pining to go somewhere might try going to work. "Shall we finance Germany?" asks a European statesman. And all eyes are turned toward America. There are no princesses in America, but there are thousands of shop girls who could teach a princess how to be haughty. Fortunately, national pride is not so easily offended if there is a national debt parked on it. The knock in the motor is heard most distinctly when it is idling. This is also true of mortals. At any rate, the mark has remarkable vitality. Usually they are all in after going down the third time. It should be understood, however, that even the college with the highest salaried coach maintains a faculty, also. A cash register may benefit the business, but it makes it much harder for a poor struggling clerk to get ahead. After roughing it a while, the metropolitan decides that the call of the wild is much less attractive than mess-call.

The last we had was 34 cents. 'Member when Bill Hart's wife called him a "cute little cream puff?" Well, the cream has soured. Josh Wise says: "The easiest way to get a man to listen is to whisper." ANSWERED BY MR. GREY Does the United States customs service own and operate any hotels—W. H. No. But its officers frequently board boats. Is a light article always easy for a horse to pull?—J. O. No. A horse would find considerable difficulty in pulling a cork. QUESTIONS MR. GREY CANNOT ANSWER Can a man be arrested for stealing if he takes a lamp stand? How about it if he takes the witness stand?—H. N. Does it take a lot of head work to row a scull?—P. H. D. Is it possible to smoke a ham in a meerschaum pipe?—K. O. Are the rolling mills of the steel trust ever bothered by mildew?—C. A. M. Does a man lose weight when he uses crutches? I have seen a number of men lean on crutches.—C. H. Taxi drivers are about as human as anyone also when it comes down to it. An old man stood hesitatingly at the corner of a crowded street the other day. He couldn't get his courage to the point of starting across. A taxi driver noticed him, and the taxi stopped while the diver leaned over and spoke to the timid man. Such a smile of relief and gratitude as spread over that face. He got into the taxi and was driven across the street. When he got out, he made a motion as if to inquire the charge. But the driver waved his hand, smiled benignly and drove on- 2 BIG DAYS Friday Oct. 6th Saturday Oct. 7th Remodeli PIANOS, PLAYER PIANOS Remodeling PIANOS, PLAYER PIANOS IN KEEPING WITH THE PROGRESSIVE S ANAHEIM IS TAKING, WE ARE REMODEL WE MUST CLEAR THE FLOOR FOR THE C THIS WE ARE OFFERING SWEEPING REDU MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 20% DISCOUNT ON LISTED BELOW ARE SOM PIANOS $950 Hamilton Manualo Player. $519 Special price for cash..... $600 Modello Player Piano with $465 10 rolls, terms...... $435 St. Regis Piano.

Wait until a woman stops crying before deciding what to do. The Golden Rule always works when anybody gives it a chance. doubt it would go to the movies.

Correct this sentence: "Don't bother to flick your ash in the tray," said the wife; "sweeping it off the rug is delightful exercise." England and France are in perfect agreement on everything except the German situation and the Turkish situation and things like that.

It is more against you to sit tight and do nothing than to try something and fail. No matter what happens, you can always find somebody who claims to have predicted it.
