DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS And One is like the ocean, deep and wide. Wherein all waters fall; That girdles the wide earth, and draws the tide. Feeding and bearing all; That broods the mists that sends the clouds abroad. That takes, again to give— Even the great and loving heart of God, Whereby all love doth live. Caroline Spencer We lower ourselves when we try to pull down others. A woman in the diplomatic service should be able to do a great deal with a winsome smile, tactfully bestowed. Christmas is joyous to one in proportion to the measure of sincere good will one puts into the observance of the holiday. The public should react appreciatively and encouragingly to Will H. Hays' efforts to improve the moral tone of moving pictures. The burdened taxpayer wants to see evidences of retrenchment in every seat of government—municipal, county, state and national. Bank robberies are becoming epidemic again in the West. It may become necessary to post armed guards in banks during business hours. Europe is quite ready to have its economic situation Americanized. But America is very chary about having its non-entanglement attitude Europeanized. The taxpaying good citizen is ANOTHER "POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL" Does a girl of 14 need $24,000 a year for her expenses, besides that which her mother gives her—a girl living with her mother, and thus provided with the comforts of home without expense to herself? This contention was set up by a wealthy widow in New York in seeking to have this sum set aside for one year's budget for her daughter. The court powdered the case and cut the allowance to $20,000 annually. This girl's income is accumulating at the rate of $56,000 annually. There is already an accumulation of $250,000. Do parents do the best thing for their children in endowing them with great riches? It depends, of course, upon the moral fiber of the child in each specific case. Generally speaking, however, it may be said that it is harmful not to say tragic, to weigh down young lives with the burden of great riches. This oftentimes breeds selfishness, snobbishness, indolence, intemperate habits and in many instances leads directly into paths of folly and vice. Boys and girls have a right to be free of the cumberments and temptations and enervating luxuries of great riches, in their formative years. If there is wealth for them, hold it in reserve until they are mature enough to use it wisely for their own good and for the good of their fellowmen. HUGE DINOSAUR'S BONES DISCOVERED The dinosaur which, in prehistoric times—in the Mesozoaks age—roamed the wilds of Patagonia was about 140 feet long. Think of it, kiddies.

It may become necessary to post armed guards in banks during business hours. Europe is quite ready to have its economic situation Americanized. But America is very chary about having its non-entanglement attitude Europeanized. The taxpaying good citizen is eager to see, in government, a failing scale of disbursements and resultant decrease in taxes, and a rising scale of efficiency. The popularity of Santa Claus does not wane. From the tiniest kiddie to tottering grandparent, all anticipate, with eagerness, the good saint's cooling. There is room for improvement in motion pictures and theatrical production. There also is room for improvement in the teste of a numerosa contingent of the people as to the quality of pictures and stage productions they desire to see. The California Legislature soon is to meet. Let the chaplains of the two houses pray, in behalf of the people, that comparatively few laws may be passed, and that they be enacted with care, to meet the needs and to promote the welfare of the people. These are perilous days on the Great Lakes. Winter storms, particularly on Lakes Superior, Huron and Michigan, are terrors to navigation. Many a brave vessel has gone to the bottom and many a crew has found seepulture at the bottom of those frigid seas. HUGE DINOSAUR'S BONES DISCOVERED The dinosaur which, in prehistoric times—in the Mesozoic age—roamed the wilds of Patagonia was about 140 feet long. Think of it, kiddies. How you would be frightened if there were such animals in the swamps and mountains fastnesses of California today! Some Argentina scientists have discovered thigh bones of this monster diplodocus—the scientists name for this great creature—which measure nine feet in length! Nature is not extravagant. Gradually the good matter has eliminated the animals which were unduly large, unwieldy and a cumbersome to the earth. Modern animals are more adapted to the earth and its utilitarian development. The elephant—largest of land animals extant—can be employed as a faithful and useful servant of man. Nearly all the beasts of forest and jungle are useful, in their way. Nature, at least, is not wasting bone and muscle in fashioning their physical forms. They do not carry around surplus mountains of flesh and bones as the ancient dinosaurs did. Nature does things well, but her work is never complete, never perfect. It proceeds from good to better, and all the time moving toward the best. This is true as to nama as well as the so-called lower animals. The basic principle of thinking is concentration on the subject. The germ of failure is not transplanted, yet it will germinate in unfertile minds. A few men in high-powered cars may burn up the roads but will not set the world on fire. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING WHEN EFFICIENCY IS HIGHEST—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Anyone who imagines himself too tired to continue his work at all time of any day should consult the efficiency statistics compiled in recent years before giving up. Scientists have been making a great many tests of accuracy, efficiency, speed and general ability under varied weather conditions and for different hours of the day. Other things being equal, it has been found that brain power and physical ability each rise to a high point about 11 a.m. Each drops considerably around noon. Brain power then returns to a maximum about 2 p.m., while physical ability reaches its high point again somewhere between 3 and 5 p.m. In comparing speed and accuracy tests it has been found that accuracy is better in the foreground, speed in the background. Of course these are factors which may enter and change the situation entirely. Meals which are difficult to digest, too little sleep and recreation over a prolonged period, or indulgence in needless worry would probably upset the efficiency schedule. Genuine fatigue, too, pulls down efficiency. Nevertheless, with these interesting discoveries in mind, the brain or hand worker should guard it.

TOWN IN REVIEW To any turkeys still alive, Happy New Year. The first Wright law arrest has been made, but that doesn't mean they've decided who was the first violator of the new law. One visible effect of Christmas is that nearly everyone seems to have a clean andkerchief. And the stepping stone to the divorce court is a halter. HOUSEHOLD HINT Mix the turkey scraps with sawdust and they will last longer. What has become of the old-fashioned man who used to spend Christmas parading from one saloon to another? A $50 counterfeit note is in circulation. Watch your change closely. The Maysville Independent regretfully remarks that in the good old days the country editor looked forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas with feelings of elation because someone invariably supplied the turkey gratis for the superscess occasion.

"Tranquility" is a delightful foreign policy, but who ever heard of a tranquil appetite? Man is the only creature who can adjust himself to any kind of weather or nay kind of tariff.

The window sales, pie supper, and lemon squeezes don't send him a piece of cake in a pasteboard shoe box.—Cynthiana (Ky.) Democrat! TO TALK ABOUT TODAY'S most prophetic news comes from the electrical wizard, Steinmetz. He predicts that our descendants will have "canned sunlight." Food and power will be the greatest problems of the future, says Steinmetz. He fears the day is coming when the earth will be so thickly populated that there will not be enough food for all. This is the old doctrine of Malthus. His opponents claim that plagues and wars keep weeding us out, to prevent over-population. A greater force, in preventing mouths-to-be-fed from overtaking and passing available food supply is man's inventiveness. For instance, a scientist about three years ago perfected a hardier wheat that moved the bread belt 100 miles farther north. And, predicts Steinmetz, future men will discover a way to bottle up sunshine, just as plants do. Then this imprisoned power will be transferred to grow food in barren districts, also to serve as fuel when the earth's coal supply becomes exhausted. Future people may call up the store and order: "Send me two barrels of sunshine. The last batch had too much cloud in it."

Striebel FARMERS' OUTLOOK IS MORE HOPEFUL The American farmer has better days ahead. A decided improvement in agricultural conditions of the country during 1923, not only in better actual prices, but as compared with the prices of other commodities, is the prophecy of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. American farmers, it is pointed out, will be between $1,500,000,000 and $2,000,000,000 more total money for their crops this year than last, despite the fact that agricultural prices are lower relatively than other things. From the overproduction of the years immediately following the Armistice, the American farmer is intelligently planning to produce more WISE AND WITTY No hope can be placed in idleness.
