DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS But every true conversion is only the beginning of the soul's discovery of the Savior. Conversion is the springtime of character.—G. D. Herron. This congress, it seems, will sine disshard. You never can recall an unkind word. Honest failure is better than dishonest success. A clear conscience is ever a pleasant companion. The film will be no cleaner than the public taste. Jones' locker. Bud habits are hard taskmasters toward their victims. The ship subsidy bill seems to be sinking for the third and last time. Public sentiment can be made all-powerful in cleansing motion pictures. When this congress finally adjourns, the country will not go into mourning. There would be fewer criminals if there were more good home influence. Science should be racking brains to find a substitute for gasoline ax fuel. The Panama Canal should be made invulnerable against attack by land or sea. Great universities are raising scho- PHARAOH'S REMAINS MAY BE UNDISTURBED There is a chivalry that reaches beyond life and respects the dead. Lord Carnarvon, who has been in the lead of the archaeological delving into the tomb of one of the most powerful of the Pharaohs, is inclined to leave the mummy of the ancient king to repose where his subjects laid him at his demise. Lord Carnarvon favors leaving the mummy where it is, but to have a wax model made which would reproduce the mummy exactly in every detail and which would be wrapped as the real mummy. This replica should go to a museum and as Lord Carnarvon observes would satisfy science and curiosity while the body of the king would be left in peace in its tomb. This is the chivalrous way, and it is so hoped that this course will be taken. Even should the mummy be taken from the tomb, it would not be removed from Egypt. It would be taken to the museum in Cairo. But the more seemingly course, it would seem, would be to leave the mortal remnant of this ancient monarch where it is. CONGRESS SHOULD BE IN CONSTRUCTIVE MOOD As the Nation grows and expands and diversifies its interest, the duties and responsibilities of those entrusted with national government expand correspondingly. The President is so laden with work that he must take frequent periods of relaxation or suffer complete breakdown. Congress too, has its added duties. In truth, the time soon is coming when Congress must be held in continuous session throughout the year.

Science should be racking brains to find a substitute for gasoline as fuel. The Panama Canal should be made invulnerable against attack by land or sea. Great universities are raising scholarship standards. Which is a very good thing. "Artistic temperament" is the police name for something not at all pleasing or creditable. Genius has many ways of manifesting itself. But its face is not hard to discern and identify. The passimist should be condemned to his own company—which, in itself, would be severe punishment. The foundations of this Nation are laid upon morality and religion. This is the kind of foundation that is pure and steadfast. Coming to California will ever be the crowning desire of multitudes of tourists. They will be coming a hundred years hence, just as they come today—except in far greater numbers. Soil development in California is on phenomenal scale. This state's orchards, farms, vineyards and truck gardens are producing prodigiously and bringing tens of millions of dollars annually, of new riches, into the state. CONSTRUCTIVE MOOD As the Nation grows and expands and diversifies its interest, the duties and responsibilities of those entrusted with national government expand correspondingly. The President is so laden with work that he must take frequent periods of relaxation or suffer complete breakdown. Congress too, has its added duties. In truth, the time soon is coming when Congress must be held in continuous session throughout the year. With its mountainous duties and responsibilities, Congress has no time to waste. And yet time is wasted—time is being wasted, right now, in the Senate, in a filibuster against the pending shipping measure. The spectacle is not inspiring. These proceedings, which recur frequently, in one house or the other—particularly in the Senate, whose cloture rules sentiment to demand that both house of Congress make their rules such that the course of business in legislation may not be blocked. Annihilation of time and space by modern inventions has made all the nations of the world more neighbors. The crucial effect of Great Britain's arrangement to pay its war debt to the United States are worldwide and salutary. The American farmer today is ultra-intelligent. He keeps right up to date in information and in processes relating to his work as husbandman. And his mind goes out beyond his farm boundaries and encompasses the world. He reads the newspapers and magazine and keeps informed on current events.

In a town of 400 people, the residents call farmers hicks. Thrift consists in the knack of saying "No" when friends come a-borrowing. Friendly nations are those that pretend to see altruism in one another's grafts. Modest people wouldn't be so annoying if they had anything to be modest about. Our idea of zero in temptation is Berlin's offer of marks to keep the Ruhr miners loyal. Automobile touring isn't the adventure it once was. You never get very far from a hot dog stand. The widow at Doorn was old enough to know better, and if she has to take in washing we shall waste no sympathy on her. "Every little round gets higher and higher," is about the only drinking song left in America. Matrimony settles down to normal when the bride begins to think she is a martyr to her love. France didn't intend to annex the Ruhr, but she may have bitten off more than she can eschew. A senator is a man who thinks the great statesmen of the day may be counted on one's left thumb. Heinie's stubborn determination not to give an inch would indicate TOWN IN REVIEW THEIR CHANCE TO TALK Sometimes we wonder if these filibusters aren't started by the senators who are ben-pecked at home. Two Los Angeles men claim they caught a one-eyed mountain lioness with their bare hands, according to a story which should be investigated. A hick town is a place where everybody wonders how Bill Jones manages to dress his family that way. ART WON'T HAVE EM AROUND AFTER THEY DIE I see that T. D. of Mt. Oliver claims the horse belonging to Joseph Workman that died at the age of 32 years was the oldest in the state. Mr. Arthur Brough of this place has one aged 35 years old and still living—Millford correspondence, Cynthia (Ky.). A scientist has invented a motor truck that moves on four legs instead of wheels. No doubt, he wants a machine that will kick a man after it runs over him. HE'LL BE SURPRISED SALESMAN—"A velour hat, madam—what size would your husband take?" SHE—(buying his birthday present)—"Let's see—I really don't know—but he takes sixteen in collars, so I suppose his hat would be about nineteen or twenty." PRESS AGENTS A crate of grapefruit is shipped across the ocean to Clemenceau. The story is circulated that the "Tiger" when in America found grapefruit WISE AND WITTY Heinie seems determined to pout it out on this line if it takes all summer. The candle's power depends on the Wise and Witty Helenie seems determined to pour it out on this line if it takes all summer. The candle's power depends on the size of the wick. The unvarnished truth is often voiced in an impromptu speech. The wisest man in a clown's garb looks foolish. Trouble will bob up somehow, so will luck some time. A baby with a rich uncle is always easy to name. The most logical thing in life is to reason things out to your satisfaction. A normal girl is one who can imagine herself the heroine when her pet movie hero opens his arms for the closing clinch. Many a man is afraid to take a chance with hard work although the death rate traced to that source is low. Fable: Once there was a bachelor girl who could grow enthusiastic about her married sister's fine clothes.

The average man can't tell the difference between a spiritual blessing and the way he feels after a good dinner. It isn't the fact that drys have liquor that makes the law hard to enforce, but the fact that wets have votes. Correct this sentence: "They had been married eight years, and his heart beat madly as he bent to kiss her lips." It is the ignorance of the mass that makes war possible; it is the mass of ignorance that makes peace possible. What man, being flattered by a newspaper write-up, ever was wholly satisfied with the number and vigor of the adjectives used? COLONEL CODY HONORED DESERVEDL They are memorializing Col. Wm. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill). Well they may. He deserves an heroic statue. He deserves to have a state holiday in honor of his birthday anniversary. He had a daring career in the wild days on the western plains. He performed many notable and useful feats. And yet he was not brutal. He did not yearn to slaughter Indians. The red men respected him. In his great show, which he exhibited, season after season throughout America and in Europe, he carried many Indians. The picturesque days which marked the heyday of Colonel Cody's career are gone forever. No more will the daring plainsman take life in hand and dash madly across the prairies and buttes, pursued by hostile Indians. Pioneering is done. The wear is tamed. Its hazards have been eliminated. But men like Colonel Cody, who did much to hasten sympathy on her. Every little round gets higher and higher," is about the only drinking song left in America. Matrimony settles down to normal when the bride begins to think she is a martyr to her love. France didn't intend to annex the Ruhr, but she may have bitten off more than she can eschew. A senator is a man who thinks the great statesmen of the day may be counted on one's left thumb. Heinie's stubborn determination not to give an inch would indicate that he has changed since 1918. The reason temptations overcome a man so easily because he wears himself down running after them. HE'LL BE SURPRISED SALESMAN—"A velour hat, madam—what size would your husband take?" SHE—(buying his birthday present)—"Let's see—I really don't know—but he takes sixteen in collars, so I suppose his hat would be about nineteen or twenty." PRESS AGENTS A crate of grapefruit is shipped across the ocean to Clemenceau. The story is circulated that the "Tiger" when in America, found grapefruit exhilarating and healthful. So it is. But in the dim background we scent a press agent for grapefruit growers. It's an age of propaganda—press agents seeking free advertising. A newspaper editor's problem used to be to get something to print. Now bombarded by lever "publicity engineers," the problem is rapidly becoming what not to print. A Little Talk on Thrift By S. W. Straus, President American Society for Thrift Last year approximately $1,400,000 was spent in the United States on home construction. It is not possible to state how much of this represented new home-ownership, but it is safe to say that this phase of practical thrift work represented an investment running far into the millions. In 1920 there were 25,000,000 families in the United States, 11,400,000 of which owned their own homes. Since that time there has been a large increase throughout the country in permits issued for the construction of one-family houses. Slowly, perhaps, but most surely we are becoming a nation of homeowners, and no development in our national life could be so significant of right thinking and right acting upon the part of the people. There is every indication at this time that a tremendous amount of home building will continue during the year. Very large gains in building permits are being reported in communities where the percentage of home ownership is already large. Now is a good time for those who are not home-owners to begin thinking about this matter. There are organizations or institutions in almost every community that will cooperate with those who desire to become the possessors of homes of their own, and in a broad way, it can be stated that any wage earner in the country who honestly desires to join the ranks of the home-owners, can secure practical encouragement. It is of course not possible or per- These cabinets can be built up to your requirements. We carry in stock—Cap, Document & Letters size, also 3x5 index.
