DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Our life is scarce the twinkle of a star In God's eternal day. Obsecure and dim With mortal clouds, it yet may beam for Him, And darkened here, shine fair to spheres afar—Bayard Taylor. Fire should be handled with extreme care in forest reserves, winter or summer. The community which today, is without good roads is sadly behind the times. Carefulness with fire should be an invariable rule with all, in all seasons. It is gratifying to note that so many young couples are buying a home. It is indeed a good angury. Life without romance is savorless. The life into which not great love ever has come is barren indeed. An intelligent, upright, conscientious citizenry is the mainstay of this nation, politically and morally. There is but one formula for real retrenchment—that is, rigidly to economize. There is no substitute "just as good." There is abundance of clean, wholesome news, without filling a newspaper with moral filth and purulent sebastianism. There are 2,000,000 persons on payrolls of government—national state, county and municipal—in the United States. Too many! Easter Island has disappeared, according to reports. But as Easter hats do not come from that island, the fair ones will not be perturbed over the disappearance. ON GOVERNMENT ROLLS, 2,000,000 NAMES Government officials... national state, county and municipal—with their working forces and their rank and file on the public payroll, number approximately 2,000,000 persons, or 5 per cent of all the wage-earners and salaried men and women in the United States. One person of every twenty gainfully employed is working for the government. These figures, from a recognized expert, are startling enough. In much as the grand total cost of all government in the United States is approximately $8,000,000,000 the question frequently recurs to the thoughtful citizen: Is not this country overgoverned? Could not efficiency in government be attained and maintained—even greater efficiency than now obtains—if government work were simplified and if the number of employees and attaches were reduced. It is to be doubted whether a private business or industry could be conducted successfully along the same lines and employing the same methods as prevail in government in this country. This impels the taxpayer to ask, Why not put government business on the same plane as private business? GEN. PERSHING PLANS WRITING MEMOIRS Of keen interest to the public is announcement that General Pershing is preparing to write his memoirs this year. His version of events during the World War period, when he was Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces and a member of the Supreme War Council will be of the utmost interest to the world. These memoirs will present America's attitude, during this country participation in the World War, toward the military problems of the great struggle.

But as Easter bats do not come from that island, the fair ones will not be perturbed over the disappearance. The Presidential ambition is abroad in the land, and the Ohio man is assuming that Barkis is willing attitude so becoming to and natural in Buckeye statesmen. There is nothing sweeter, more beautiful or more sacred under heaven than pure, happy, devoted home life. This nation will be sound and secure in vitals so long as it exalts the pure and happy home. Whether the public domain be reclaimed for farming, or whether it be dedicated to the planting of forests, the purpose should be, at all times, to serve the people usefully and to conserve this domain—which is theirs against greed.

These memoirs will present America's attitude, during this country participation in the World War, toward the military problems of the great struggle. The future historian will draw copiously upon the memoirs of this period for materials upon which to write the annuals of the World War. In this connection it is to be hoped that Woodrow Wilson will be spared to set down his memoirs for the world. His would be a notable and noble contribution to the history literature of the World War period. The desert of this great Southwest rapidly is being conquered. Achievement of the last twenty years in reclamation have been phenomenal. The Imperial Valley, in California, and the Salt River Valley, in Arizona for example. They have been transformed from extreme aridity into Edenic fruitfulness. --Your Southern Pacific agent can arrange every detail of a local or transcontinental journey, secure your Pullman accommodations, check your baggage from here to destination, and otherwise help you in your transportation problems, both passenger and crew. why is your business here in Anaheim?

Officer Wagner jumped into the hero class the other day when he snatched a school girl from beneath the wheels of a motor truck, and at the same time let himself in for something he hadn't expected. Mrs. Palazzo, mother of the rescued girl, saw the act and rushing forth threw her arms about the patrolman's neck and kissed him again and again. It was a spur to every woman in the neighborhood. In a grateful throng they crowded about the blushing policeman and kissed him at least once around, while he stammered over and over, "Say I'm a policeman; I'm a policeman", but to no effect. Volstead archaeologist unearthed a giant still on th' farm o' Lemuel Spry 'd' day. A cheerful loser is a fellow that only went int' somethin' fer th' ad. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) If only the fly would go to Hollywood to appear on the screen. About the only thing an upper berth has room for is improvement. The most difficult place to balance a budget is on the point of a bayonet. We wish they'd build these political fences strong enough to keep the bull in. Another Eygptian characteristic COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT ABOUT WORLD COURT? (New York Evening Post) President Harding has easily acquiesced in the Senate's resolve to postpone consideration or his international Court proposal, and we are forced to conclude that despite his plea for immediate action he really had no hope that such action would be forthcoming. His recommendation, therefore, was not the statement of a policy but the opening of a debate within the ranks of the Republican party. That debate, it is now hinted, will be carried on for the administration by Mr. Harding himself in the course of a swing around the circle next summer. If the American people by the time the next Congress assembles, has had its ideas clarified upon the subject of the International Court, it will not be without a strenuous effort on the part of the public. For the discussion we are now facing will obviously be a complicated one. Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes will advocate adherence to the International Court because it involves no impairment of our sovereignty. Senator Johnson and Senator La Follette will oppose the International Court on the ground that it threatens our sovereignty. Senator Borah whom it is hard to imagine not plunging into the fray, will oppose the present weak court because it threatens our sovereignty, but will advocate a much stronger court, that no doubt Mr. Borah will make the point clear—does not threaten our sovereignty. Mr. Harding and Mr. Hughes will have to show that we keep out of the League of Nations by coming a little bit closer to the League of Nations. That is not as absurd as argument as may appear at first sight, but it is a complicated argument; and the American people will have to do some pretty solid work. Our Greenwich Villagers—the cherry residents of New York's nearest approach to a "Latin Quartier"—are working hard to impress upon the public that in the recent raids made on a few of the restaurants in this town that they have been targeting. If only the fly would go to Hollywood to appear on the screen. About the only thing an upper berth has room for is improvement. The most difficult place to balance a budget is on the point of a bayonet. We wish they'd build these political fences strong enough to keep the bull in. Another Egyptian characteristic that would help the world now is sand. Suspicion is just a private conviction that you would act that way if you were in his place. The American Army never will be reduced below the number required for an interesting crap game. About all that is needed to make the early spring suits comfortable is a good heavy overcoat. Correct this sentence: "Whistling merrily, the poker-playing husband entered his house at 2 a.m." The fault of science is that it pays too much attention to our origin and not enough to our destination. Another sad sight is that of a small town trying to be enthusiastic about the coming of a famous singer. Success is just simple matter of struggling along until you hit upon something that has scenario value. If Russia really is in need of cats, Friend Wife can spare that one who bought a spring hat just like hers. If the driver wrecks his car while getting an eye-full, some flapper is guilty of contributing to negligence. Russia has served one good purpose. She has made us a little better satisfied with our own brand of freedom. A philosopher is one who observes the Ruhr and reflects cheerfully that things always settle down in a basin. France is progressing. Once she needed wire fences to keep Heinle back, and now the Poles alone are sufficient. If Americans are going crazy, as charged, it's their own fault. They shouldn't try to remember all the fool laws. Our Greenwich Villagers—those cherry residents of New York's nearest approach to a "Latin Quartier"—are working hard to impress upon the public that in the recent raids made on a few of the restaurants in that section not one "Villager" has been arrested. The restaurants have their location there and they did violate the prohibition law; that much is true; but those found helping along the violation were not of the "Bohemian" village set up uptowns and out-of-towners, seeking excitement. Our city prohibition office has been put on a twenty-four hour basis. Like the old-time saloons, the door will never be locked. It seems pretty sad when a woman's age-old right to change her name and her pretty nearly age old right to marry whom she pleases shall be challenged and harried by government officials. Pretty May Henry left Priley, Scotland, with the intention of coming to America and marrying Johnstone Henry, to whom she was engaged back home, years ago. On board the steamer, however, Miss Henry changed her mind, for the fundamentally sound reason that she fell in love on the way over with some one else. In consequence she had to face a board of immigration officials and explain matters. Wouldn't you think of all things that would be one's affair it would be the choice of a fiance or of any number of them? It has been a long time since "King Lear" has been presented on the American stage. In a series of special matineers, Reginald Pole, Genevieve Tobin and an excellent cast are giving this tragic table of Shakespeare's in the complete text. As the ill-used king, Mr. Pole was a convincing and pathetic figure and Miss Tobin has never done better work than as "Cordella." Taxi drivers are accused of a good many since, but there are three in New York who have vindicated their whole skim. If vindication be needed. Their cars all happened to be parked on Brooklyn the other morning when a fire broke one. They forced themselves into the building at the risk of their lives, without any of the protections given to regular firemen and through dense clouds of smoke rescued a family of four none of whom would probably have escaped otherwise. The taxi drivers names, which ought to be recorded wherever possible were Johy Kelly, John Cantwell and Daniel Curran. which sound as if we might give one more cheer for the Irish. Gold tissue is the latest vogue for woman's hosiery. It gives a rather startling effect even when worn with a dinner gown, but when it is denied for the street, as I saw it the other day. It is a striking argument for tunneled sidewalks if our traffic is not going to become even more congested than at present. Ernest Amiss was a soldier in the world war; a soldier of the King in the British army and for a long time. He got a medal testifying to the fact, delivered in his office the other day while I was there. My mother has a weakness for this misguided person and I remarked how interested she would be in the award. Accompanying the medal was a certificate from King George telling of his royal disposition to confer the same. With my remark, Ernest picked up the certificate and scrawled the following distation to my mother across the face: "What's a King or two, when I know so many Queens. Ernest." Mother has immediately taken it to be framed pretending that it is for the King's words, rather than Ernest's. Plain Dealer Want Ads Get Results CHAS. A.

Striebel BUT A MAN WOULD HAVE TO CHASE HIS OWN WISE AND WITTY Obstacles encountered are surmounted by lofty motives. If humbleness brings alms to the beggar, true humbleness will bring success to you. A doubtful existence is a safe conductor of decline. There was considerably less crime in the old days when the prisoner and not the sentence was suspended. When a man lives a dual life he cheats himself by cheating others. Be ready to withstand a jolt but do not be instrumental in causing it loudly and publicy. The way to become a leader is to discover a grievance and weep about it loudly and publicly. A woman's idea of mean temperature is one that postpones, the wearing of her new spring suit. Obstacles encountered are surmounted by lofty motives.
