DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS A thing that is for you to do, nobody else can do. Undone by you; it lacks just that which you only can put into it. These human capacities are not worked up to their honest, reasonable limit; and we do not guess how near the divine the best humanity may be.—Anonymous. Money is a mereless god, if worshipped blindly. Give Europe one generation of peace to start a war over these. Sleep is a wonder healer of physical illness and of sorrows of the heart. Begin each day with new courage, new hope and freshened aspirations. The country is safe no long as its boys and girls are kept free from the taint of vice and crime. Abraham Lincoln was full of mischievousness, on occasion, but was not afflicted with meannesses. California is no catch-all for human riftraff. It attracts people of the very best type, and it welcomes them. Thomas A. Edison, at 76, shows the vigor of a human much younger. Mr. Edison has not rapped his vitality by dissipation. Europe should break its age-old habit of taking an occasional bath in human blood. That continent should forego its wars. The American farmer is planning his season's mission—to produce enough vital foodstuffs to feed a large percentage of the human family. Not every poor boy can become an Abraham Lincoln. But the poor boy of today is infinitely better situated than was Mr. Lincoln, the stripling. DEVELOPMENT PROCEEDS IN CALIFORINA California develops. Its advancement is steady. Its progress is sustained and substantial. Every line of business, industrial and commercial activity shows progress here. This betterment is not for a day or a week. It has been for a long time. It will continue indefinitely. Industries are thriving in California. This state is the Nation's "White spot" in volume of building. This encouraging activity has persisted for a long time. It will go on and on, there is good reason to believe. Agricultural industry is expanding. More acres are being brought under cultivation. Intensive farming is expanding. Horticulture, too, is growing. Orchard areas increase. Vineyards spread to larger acreage. Multiplied millions of produced wealth come into this state annually from its orchards and vineyards and truck gardens. The oil industry is immensely important in California. Likewise this state's mining interests. Manufacturing in California is evolving into greater volume and greater diversity. Eastern capital is coming to this state for extensive investment in factories. Huge sums of home capital are put into manufacturing enterprises. Manufactured products in this state are greater in value in one month now, than they were in a whole year, not so long ago. Lift up your heads and go forward with confidence and stoutness of heart, ye Californians! For all the elements of prosperity are at hand in this great commonwealth. SPEED JUSTICE IN CASE OF SLAYER ALGUIN After long and discouraging quest, "Little Phil" Alguin is apprehended and is in jail in Los Angeles for the murder of Detective-Sergeant Fitzgerald, of the Los Angeles police force. He should be guarded with extreme care. There should be no support for the national putting forth speeches in support budget system established by the has worked with efficiency during its existence. Europe should break its age-old habit of taking an occasional bath in human blood. That continent should forego its wars. The American farmer is planning his season's mission—to produce enough vital foodstuffs to feed a large percentage of the human family. Not every poor boy can become an Abraham Lincoln. But the poor boy of today is infinitely better situated than was Mr. Lincoln, the stripling. They are finding interesting things in that tomb of one of the Pharaohs, in Egypt. But so far they have not come upon the royal automobile or the court airplane. The Panama Canal is a financial "failure" to the extent of an annual surplus of several million dollars. Many a business man would like to "fall" just like the canal does. Growth, development, expansion, be tterment—these are the order of affairs in California. This state is neither stagnant nor retrogressive—it is virile and progressive. Abraham Lincoln, with a piece of rough board on his lap, wrote his immortal Gettysburg address on a piece of brown wrapping paper. The greatest of thoughts and inspiration oftentimes come from the humblest sources. SPEED JUSTICE IN CASE OF SLAYER ALGUIN After long and discouraging quest, "Little Phil" Alguin is apprehended and is in jail in Los Angeles for the murder of Detective-Sergeant Fitzgerald, of the Los Angeles police force. He should be guarded with extreme care. There should be no repetition of the Clara Phillips escape, in his case. Of his guilt there seems to be not a reasonable doubt. He is reported to have confessed the crime. There is no reason why justice should not be meted out swiftly in his case. There should be no dallying over technicalities—no legal jockeying to stay the stern band of the law. In cases like this, the law and the methods of administering law, are on trial before the world. If justice is done in this case quickly and relentlessly, the effect should be salutary in deterring criminals, here and elsewhere, from murder-oue deeds. TWON IN RED x wsol.

Abe Marlin PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) The most satisfactory substitute for coal is spring. Another thing that causes many failers is an appetite for sympathy. Lots of Americanism was hard enough to recognize before the klan disguised it. One-half of the country doesn't know why the other half selects that kind of Senators. It is only a question of time until every pedestrian will have a car or wings. The only nation that is decently frank about its treatment of minorities is discrimination. Ther's gittin' t' be entirely too many fellers trampin' about carryin' brief cases an' botherin' busy people. Movie directors seem t' git ever-thing historically correct in a medieval picture but th' hair cuts. The lean man has one advantage. He doesn't have to pin all his faith on a suspender button. Now, let's see; how many of the world's problems were solved by the occupation of the Ruhr? The sweet musical note of spring" our soul yearns for is the erics of a bat against a fast one. Speaking of rulers, there are the King, Queen and Jack. And the greatest of these is the jack. If a show is too high-brow to draw a crowd the manager can intimate that it is a social event. In this free country almost every body can look forward to watching the ladder of fame except Jackie Coogan. When a man says the policy of France is leading to war, he means he wishes somebody would lick France. TOWN IN REVIEW Congressman wants to protect oysters, which always have been re-ticent about speaking for themselves. Thoughts of an Egyptian Princess About to Die "Well, anyway, with my figure, I'll make a beautiful nummy." Wm. Jennings Bryan has joined the Boy Scouts, which will give that organization a chance to show what it can do to bring out the best that's in an man. Women jurors in Pittsburgh want a smoking room. This revises our idea of Pittaburg. We thought all rooms in that town were smoking rooms. Uncanny Radio engineers will broadcast Niagara Falls, so that "bugs" all over the country will hear the roar of the falling water. To furnish contrast, other scientists expect to enable us to hear, by wireless, the chirping of a cricket far off in the Philippine islands. This suggests that in the next war the people at home can tune in and hear the battles. That will make harder work for the recruiting officers. Considerable Opposition "Look, Daddy. I pulled this corn-stalk up all by myself." My, but you are strong," said the 6-year-old's proud father. "I guess I am, Daddy. The whole world had hold of the other end!"—Boston Transcript. Too many Anaheim autoists are over-estimating the abilities of the average pedestrian. SUPPORT THE BUDGET SYSTEM (Kansas City Journal) The national budget committee is putting forth special efforts to array the business men of the country actively in support of the national budget system which has been established by the President and which has worked with such remarkable efficiency during the short period of its existence. In the nature of things, increased membership is one of the most effective methods of enlisting the support of those directly affected by the raising and disbursement of the nation's revenues. It ought not to require much argument to convince every taxpayer, large or small, that he is citally concerned in the reduction of expenditure. The inherent principle of the budget system is sound, whether applied to the conduct of the government's affairs, involving billions or to the operation of a corner store. To live within one's income is essential to the prosperity of an individual or a nation. The disbursement of the income will determine the margin between revenue and expenditure, and the budget system is the wisest method of regulating that disbursement. Its value has been proved times without number. In its application to the government's affairs it is an experiment. It must receive the hearty and substantial support of those whom its success or failure most definitely affects. If it fails to receive support, its opponents will capitalize the failure to its disadvantage. Campaign expenses are high, but it's worth the money to get to brag on yourself before an audience. Pity that Europe cannot pick up, come across the Atlantic, bring its knitting, stay awhile, and learn how to keep the peace of a country where the process of being peaceful is brilliantly successful. Speaking of rulers, there are the King, Queen and Jack. And the greatest of these is the jack. If a show is too high-brow to draw a crowd the manager can intimate that it is a social event. In this free country almost every body can look forward to meeting the ladder of fame except Jackie Coogan. When a man says the policy of France is leading to war, he means he wishes somebody would lick France. In India you can't tell a man's taste by the way he dresses; over here you can tell it by the way his wife dresses. Police is the quality that keeps a man from looking as foolish as he feels while matching a piece of silk. What profit is there in a radio that will do away with the telephone and not do a darned thing about the saxophone? Another fine thing about being rich is thaty cu can wear jewelry from the ten-cent store and get away with it. Germany needn't think the world loves her; it is but following its usual custom and cussing the mortgage-holder who forecloses. Correct this sentence: "I try to keep abreast of the times," said the landlord, and I am reducing your rent thirty per cent." The only merchant who has the ready cash in the community and can't sell his goods doesn't call it splendid isolation. The disquieting thing about a faster mail service is that it gets your checks back before you are ready to protect them. A writer says that half the boys of 1830 wished to be bandits. Well, well; so accounts for so many filling stations. Considerable Opposition "Look, Daddy. I pulled this corn-stalk up all by myself." My, but you are strong," said the 6-year-old's proud father. "I guess I am, Daddy. The whole world had hold of the other end!"—Boston Transcript. Too many Anaheim autoists are over-estimating the abilities of the average pedestrian. MAH JONGGERS Mah Jongg, the Chinese game of chance played with domino-shaped pieces of ivory and bamboo—is threatening to take the place of the card game, bridge. One reason for Mah Jongg's popularity is its cost. A standard set sells for $18.74 up into the hundreds. Americans usually buy things because they are extremely cheap or very expensive. Any business man who has been through several panics and booms knows this. We are a nation of extremists. Someone must be making a big clean-up, selling Mah Jongg sets. Yet the game is thousands of years old. It finally occurred to a resourceful brain to market it. World is full of opportunities, waiting to be discovered. Anyway, Rev. Grant has changed our minds about men named Percy. GRIOUX Strongest man in the world probably is Arthur Giroux giant French-Canadian constable. In Montreal he lifts 530 pounds of iron dumb-bells from the ground to the level of his chest. Interesting—but unimportant for a child can lift more than that with a chain hoist. If Giroux lived a few thousand years ago he would have whipped all comers by his strength and made himself king. Place Giroux alongside a slender, graceful, half-affeinate movie star with dreamy eyes, and Giroux wouldn't get much attention from the ladies. The notion that women are primarily interested in strength in a man is hokum. A boastful strong man probably started the belief, and other men were afraid to contradict. Household Hint Save your old numeg graters. They make fine nail files. Two Chinamen and an Irishman who had pleaded guilty to speeding came before the judge for sentence. Said the judge to the first Chinaman: "What's your name?" "Ah Wong," responded the dejected Celestial. "Thirty days," announced the judge. And, to the second Chinaman: "Name?" "Ah Wing." "Thirty days," said His Honor. Not only is the first cost low, there is also a decided saving in the operation of a Model "A" Combination Triangle Water Heater That's because the special Bunsen burner and copper heating element get the heat out of the gas and into the water with minimum loss.
