DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Faith is the happy consciousness that God is around us with His perpetual care, beneath us with His supreme power, above us with His providential blessing, within us with His constant inspiration. —Anonymous. California grows on its merits, and not because of any highly colored promotional advertising. This latter should be discouraged in every way possible. Boosting California is commendable, provided it be based upon truthful representations. Any advertising of this state is poor business if it be based upon exaggerations nad misrepresentations. Each and every law-abiding citizen should feel a sense of personal responsibility to say and to do all possible to uphold law and order, and to protect life and property against desperate, criminals. Suppression of crime should not be left altogether to peace officers and courts. The people should co-operate. No state in the Union has such diversity of soil production as has California. Its products run from tropic and semi-tropical to those of the temperate zone. There is something ripening some place in California, every month in the year. This state has a perpetual harvest. All the wealth and all the power of the mightiest monarchs of ancient or modern times avail naught against death and decay. Three thousand years in the tomb for the dead Pharaoh finds him still dead, and all the play of treasure and pomp surrounding his last sleeping place is out mockery. Uncle Sam sometimes is accused in foreign lands, of driving hard bargains, and yet there is none more GEORGE WASHINGTON AS SAGE GUIDE George Washington, in advising his countrymen with reference to domestic policies and foreign relations, was notably moterate. At no time was the Father of His Country an extremist. He was not even an advocate of independence, in the early stage of the differences between the colonies and the government of George III. He was loyal to the colonies, of course, and when the die was cast entered heart and soul into the struggle for independence. In his message and speeches and in his Parewell Address, George Washington was temporate of speech and evinced moderation in all his counsels and admonitions. His advice has been invaluable in keeping this nation on an safely conservative course, both as to its domestic affairs and as to its relations with other countries. Moderation, in the main, has been marked in the course of the American people, both as to internal affairs and as to their dealings with other nations. And this gospel of moderation was preached by George Washington and was exemplified by him in his public life, as presiding officer of the convention which framed the United States Constitution and as President of the United States. PHOTOGRAPHING THE VOICE Science stops at nothing. It is constantly achieving the impossible—that is, things which have been regarded as impossible. Not only is absolute fidelity—so that one may hear the real voice and a phonographic reproduction and detect no difference whatever—but it is demonstrated that the human voice can be photographed and reproduced with fidelity. It is also demonstrated monstrated that the photographed that the photographed voice can be projected by radio with such precision and faithfulness that the re-trained voice cannot be distinguished. It is as praise pay its debts as If there were In February ba get they worked All the wealth and all the power of the mightiest monarchs of ancient or modern times avail naught against death and decay. Three thousand years in the tomb for the dead Pharaoh finds him still dead, and all the display of treasurer and pomp surrounding his last sleeping place is out mockery. Uncle Sam sometimes is accused in foreign lands, of driving hard bargains. And yet there is none more generous than he, in all the world, when any nation or people is in distress. The good uncle is not greedy an idgraping and does not try to take unfair advantage of any country or people. Congress should not daily with or evade the vexing problem of federal shipping. This should be settled quickly, and in constructive manner. It is a business matter—the people's business. As affairs are drifting now, the public is losing heavily. This loss should be counterbalanced by a business-like, sagacious arrangement that would relieve the national treasure of drains and at the same time create the nucleus for a vast mercantile fleet under the American colors. George Washington's services to his country in peace were no less renowned than his leadership in war. He wielded great influence in the convention which framed the United States Constitution and his voice was for moderation in composing differences among the colonies and in bringing about ratification of the Constitution. His Farewell Address is full of wisdom almost superhuman and is an invaluable chart for the guidance of this Nation in its domestic affairs and in its foreign relations. Science stops at nothing. It is constantly achieving the impossible—that is, things which have been regarded as impossible. Not only is absolute fidelity—so that one may hear the real voice and a phonographie reproduction and detect no difference whatever—but it is demonstrated that the human voice can be photographed and reproduced with fidelity. It is also demonstrated monstrated that the photographed that the photographed voice can be projected by radio with such precision and faithfulness that the recorded voice cannot be distinguished from the speaker. Useless here to attempt to explain the process of which this truly remarkable thing is accomplished. Difficult to say that it has been done, under indisputable scientific auspices. If sound may be photographed, may not color have voice? May there not be endless mysteries in the realm of nature yet to be revealed by Science? Sound, color, atomic phenomena, variations of heat and cold, magnetism, electrons—a thousand and one elements, manifestations, powers and influences the nature and possibilities of which have been hidden from mortal ken. Science is working miracles, and the miracle of today becomes the commonplace of tomorrow. The quest is ever tirelessly on and on. Science camps just outside the walls of Impossible Land today, but batters down its walls and enters on the morrow. And so it goes, from one Impossible Land to another. God is far more merciful to human beings than they are to each other. The frailty for which we may blame others, we may have ourselves. When one takes inventory of oneself and finds how many faults and shortcomings one has, it should include one to be a bit humble and generous in charity for the failings of others. It is as praise pay its debts as if there were in February bay get they worked. WIVES PLEASANT Lives there a dead who never bed? TOM Next to keep the darndest ther one up.

GEORGE WASHINGTON In these days when international affairs are at the boiling we are apt to look backward to The Fathers. What they do now? What would be Washington's advice? There's no telling; but we're sure he would bring cal sanity, and courage to the problems. And any of us can do that; and if the whole world d most of the problems would disappear. Our opinions—yours and ours—will probably not be asked international affairs; but we can apply our judgment to here at home, today. So far as we can, we're making our business grow on tha F. A. Yungbluth HOME OF HART SCHAFFNER AND MARK CLOTHES "BY ALL MEANS GET A FIT" 145 WEST CENTER STREET EDITORIAL Abe Maulin COMMENTS OF THE PRESS PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION JN 1924 (N. Y. Evening Post) So far as one man can perform the task, Senator Watson has renominated President Harding. There is no alternative, he argues. The Republican party must stand upon the record of Mr. Harding's administration, "and it is not possible to stand on the record of the administration and yet repudiate the administration." Stated in this form, the argument for renomination is conclusive, and it is undeniable that a President is ordinarily renominated. Whether that custom is altogether due to the reasoning which Senator Watson advances or whether it is not owing in part to a president's control of the nominating machinery is a question which might form the subject of an interesting debate in the Senate. Senator Watson's statement, however, is extreme. The custom of renomination is not absolutely invariable. President Hayes was not renominated by the Republicans or President Polk by the Democrats. Nevertheless in each instance the presidents' party managed to stand upon the record of the administration. Renomination has been customary, but it has not been a matter of course. Bitter opposition has sometimes developed. The renomination of Taft, as Senator Watson has good reason to know, split the Republican party. It is worthy of notice that the Indiana senator does not deny the existence of dissatisfaction now, although he veils the admission by referring to "any seeming division." He is merely talking for publication when he prophesies President Harding's renomination "without any opposition in the Republican convention." If Senator Johnson was in one crooked move destroys a whole life's honest endeavor. When you are lazy, you lose your freedom of action. Silence is the prelude to a verbal clash. Good thoughts find their echo in a finished product. You may make a dent on an object and injure your finger if the nail is not driven straight home. World is getting faster.

AN OLD ONE SENT IN BY DIFFERENT SCRAP-BOOK KEEPERS "Say!" yelled the candidate to the editor, "did you say in your paper that I am a scoundrel?" "No." "Then did you call me a fool and a numbskull?" "Why no." "An idiot, a wife-beater, and a horsehief?" "No." "Well, some paper did. I thought it was yours." "No, it wasn't ours. It must have been our contemporary down the street. We never print stale news." The old Reporter wrote an editorial because he heard a man behind the county jail bars singing, "Oh, It's Good to be Alive!". Nothing no strange about that. How does the old Reporter know the singer was not in for driving an auto while he was drunk? PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Recipe for fame: First invent your phrase. Another titing moderns have learned to do more quickly is die. The "mer" in Americanism probably doesn't stand for Mer Rouge. Banks are turfful, at that. They stamp the check "No Funds" instead of "No Account". It never is necessary to "protect the honor of your Home" if there is any there. It must be nice to be a social light and have nothing to do but deny being engaged. Every successful revolution is willing to bury the hatchet after it has picked out a nice soft spot on the opposition's neck.

Correct this sentence: "It isn't the price of the hat 1 object to," said the woman; "but it makes me look too young." There's one nice thing about an enemy. He isn't forever telling you something for your own good. Economic laws are funny. When more eggs are laid, eggs are cheaper; but when more bricks are laid, bricks are higher. Another great need of the times is a clock that will go faster while you are working and go slower while you are loafing. CHAS. A.

George Washington The Advocate of Faith Everybody knows the story of the cherry tree. And everyone appreciates the deep lying philosophy that is the moral of the tale. On this day when we all honor the "Father of his country" we call attention to the large part that the principle of plain, straightforward honesty has played in our history. It is the foundation of our political development. It is the cardinal principle of American business. This bank is closed today in honor of this great American who was "First in War, First in Peace and First in the Hearts of his Countrymen." This bank holds to the faith of Washington, believing in honesty, in truth and integrity and in the high standards of modern service.
