DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Nor can the vain toil cease, Till, in the shadowy maze of life, we meet One who can guide our aching, wayward feet To find Himself, our awy, our Life, our Peace In Him the long unrest is soothed and stilled— Our heart are filled. —Sunday Magazine. California will mother a President are long. Appetite should be one's servant, not one's master. Not Providence, but overeating, sends many a person to a premature grave. Procrastinating is one of the most demoralizing habits any human being can form. The home life of this Nation should be kept pure, and clean and sweet, and sacred. Possibly the slogan, "Eat more wheat, but drink less corn aand rye," may be heard soon. The region cast of the Rockies is welcome to its weather. California is not covetous about it. Ever hear of anybody worrying himself or herself into long life, and peace, and happiness? No, thanks, Middle West, keep your weather! California is quite well satisfied with what it has. There is no slavery quite so galling as many a man voluntarily, but feelishly, imposes upon himself. Some of the most powerful and most successful stage productions are launched upon the sweet and noble RETIREMENT OF DEBT OF NATION PLANNED Men high in authority at Washington, and economic experts not in public life, are advocating lessening of the volume of public building and public works, during this period of industrial activity, so that, when slack times came, these public works could proceed, and thus give employment to many who otherwise would be out of work. This is something practical and fitting about which to think and to plan. Any public betterments which could be postponed without detriment to the public interests, well might be held back, at least for a time, until a lessening of demand for labor ensues. This would be a good public policy, as well as humane, insuring many against the hardships of being without employment. Providing against great privations during periods of unemployment is a wise and prudent preparation. The people themselves, and private corporations, well might co-operate with the national government in this foresighted insurance against the hurtful effects of periods of depression. MAY APPORTION PUBLIC WORK FOR CRISIS Members of Congress and publicists are beginning to discuss ways and means for retiring the public debt of the United States. Legislation is to be proposed, at the next session of Congress, to provide for making the present sinking fund in the Treasury apply to the entire indebtedness of the Nation. It is calculated that, within the period of twenty-five years, the whole indebtedness could be wiped out. Huge as this national obligation is, once the people bend their backs to a definite, businesslike plan for its methodical liquidation, the burden will be borne without murmuring. Should there be no occasion during the next quarter of a century again to increase the national indebtedness. Ever hear of anybody worrying himself or herself into long life, and peace, and happiness? No, thanks. Middle West, keep your weather! California is quite well satisfied with what it has. There is no slavery quite so galling as many a man voluntarily, but feelishly, imposes upon himself. Some of the most powerful and most successful stage productions are based upon the sweet and wholesome things of life. One of the best things that could happen to many a boy is to be thrown out into the world, to struggle on his own initiative, to make good in life. Once through with a disagreeable experience, or a misfortune, forget it. Let the dead past bury its dead. Live today. Do not let today be cumbered with the accumulated cares of a long succession of yesterday. Progress is the great fundamental law of life. Without progress there is no real life. Human beings either go forward or go backward. Stagnation is not life. There is no stagnation in human existence. The moment one ceases to progress, one begins to retrogress. The world's financial and economic structure is wrapped and askew, and will be, so long as Europe is unsettled and the reparations issue is in dispute. Lacking money and credits in the United States, Europe is unable to purchase foodstuffs in extensive quantities in this country. There must be a stabilizing in Europe and an equalizing of monetary distribution before the economic equilibrium is restored. NOBLE OLD WARSHIP IS TO BECOME TARGET Earthly glory passes, for the Pharaohs and the kings of the ancient world, and for the great works of man, in ancient and modern times. Here is the famous old battleship Iowa, in 1898 the pride of the United States Navy, which was in the thick of the historic naval engagement off Santiago de Cuba, and its great guns spread havoc to the fleet of Admiral Cervera. And in the memorable cruise of the battleship fleet around the world—a feat that the daring Colonel Roosevelt, as the President, conceived and put into execution—the grand old Iowa led the van of mighty warships. Treading her quarterdeck was gallant "Fighting Bob" Evans. The doughty admiral is gone. And the Iowa, outliving her usefulness, is to be put to the mercy of the great guns of the superdreadnaught Mississippi. By this means, the obsolete old warcraft will be useful even in her death. Lessons of naval gunnery and of construction will be learned from this demolition, under fire, of an illustrious relic of glorious days for the American Navy. The pressure up and spending authored and tremendous every bureau head salt becomes end work, and sees who fully spend twice chance of geeting.

Our interest in a pump never ceases. District field men make frequent visits to our customers' plants to inspect the pumps and observe their performance and to confer with the owners. We see to it that the pumps meet our claims—that the service is satisfactory in every way. And every owner, we believe, feels a definite security in knowing that we give this voluntary service and that our interest in his plant is virtually never-ending. More than 7,000 of these pumps are in operation, increasing crop values millions of dollars. Is it not logical that you could likewise increase your crop profits by installing one of these pumps? Let us give you full information about the cost of installation. What capacity of pump do you require? Layne & Bowler Corp. 900 SANTA FE AVE. Los Angeles J. R. GILBERT, Dist. Mgr. 203 N.

Good slogan for the French militarists: Children first. All plants are useful for some purpose, except munitions plants. The best side to take in these big-town gang wars is the countryside. France should learn that national strength, like poets, is born and not made. Even the criminal, says a reformer, has inalienable rights. One of which, apparently, is liberty. It isn’t that people no longer respect authority, but that there is so little authority to respect. There is too much interest in the balance of power, and too darned little in the balance of budgets. Hollywood hasn’t anything on the rest of the country when it comes to baseball dope. Rev.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS CUTTING GOVERNMENT EXPENSES San Francisco Chronicle A most excellent, and probably unique, practice established by General Dawes, while budget director, is the periodical assembly of heada of departments and all subordinates having to do with making estimates to receive preliminary instructions direct from the president, be exhorted to continually strive for economy in their departments and complimented for any successes. The surprise of the President’s NEW YORK Letter NEW YORK, Mar. 22—It isn’t a comforting picture of ourselves that Frederick Pierce, psychologist, is holding up. Americans, and to an emphatic degree, New Yorkers, are going crazy wholesale under the civilization strain, he declares. “At the present rate of increase in ennosis and insanity”, he says, “it is circulated that in less than 200 years there will not be a sane person left in America.” The trouble is that everything of a mechanical sort has been tremendously speeded up in the last fifty years, telephones, telegraph radio and what not, and we have only the same human make-up to go along with them that our great grandparents had. Man changes very slowly, Mr. Pierce explains and mechanical “improvements” have been changes dizzily these past two generations. “We are like the ambitious chameleon,” he said, “that burst itself trying to react properly to a plaid shawl.” Hell, for some people, will be a place where they must forever wait their turn in line. The statesman keeps one eye on posterity; the politician keeps both on the grandstand. That income tax dodger who filed his way out of jail probably will file a return next time. Most of our fairy tales came from Europe, but we keep right on believing everything she tells us. We’ll never attain the ultimate in efficiency, however, until we discover a substitute for rest. The right to free speech is contingent upon your possession of the decency to keep your mouth shut. Whatever the outcome of the next event, If you ever ride on a trollly that crosses the Sacauseus meadows just over on the Jersey side of the Hudson, you will be amazed at the way in which the motormen, conductors and passengers burst into song and keep it up throughout the ride across the meadow. It’s an interesting experiment they have proved. It seems that there are rendering plants near there which make this ride a most melodorous one. Good hardened commuters automatically grap their nostrils as they pass through that stretch. But one day, a lyrical motorist started singing in the hope of forgetting the odor. To his surprise he didn’t even notice it while his song lasted. Whereupon the conductor tried it. Same result. Somehow the word got around among the regular passengers. They had the same success. So now... CUTTING GOVERNMENT EXPENSES San Francisco Chronicle A most excellent, and probably unique, practice established by General Dawes, while budget director, is the periodical assembly of heada of departments and all subordinates having to do with making estimates to receive preliminary instructions direct from the president, be exhorted to continually strive for economy in their departments and complimented for any successes. The surprise of the President's address was the statement that he now hoped to end the fiscal year without a deficit. The deficit estimated at the beginning of the year was $698,000,000. This has already been reduced to $92,000,000 by plekups in revenue and economies in administration and the spending departments have five months more to wipe out that $92,000,000. And Budget Director General Lord, who supplimented the President's address, stated that he expected it to be done by the hearty co-operation of every government official authorized to approve expenditures. When it is remembered that such saving means refusal to spend what has been actually appropriated, the extent of the expected self-denial will be appreciated. The pressure upon the estimating and spending authorities is continuous and tremendous. Moreover, every bureau head who is worth his salt becomes enthusiastic in his work, and sees where he could usefully spend twice what he has any chance of getting. But in the present financial condition of the Nation and the world real economy must consist, not merely in avoiding unnecessary expense, but in refraining from doing useful work which all wish to see done because the cost of it is beyond immediate available means. That income tax dodger who filed his way out of jail probably will file a return next time. Most of our fair tales came from Europe, but we keep right on believing everything she tells us. We'll now attain the ultimate in efficiency, however, until we discover a substitute for rest. The right to free speech is contingent upon your possession of the decency to keep your mouth shut. Whatever the outcome of the next presidential election, it probably will not be recorded by the seismograph this time. The economists tell us that over development is dangerous, and this is especially true of the ego. The easiest way to understand the European situation is to watch small boys trying to decide which one is to bat. The cleverer the book agent, the longer he can stay without letting you know his business. A reformer says Britain's booze bill is too heavy. And it certainly seems that way to those who buy from Bahama boats. Correct this sentence: "I've put lemon juice in its door," said the mother, "and you won't know it's castor oil at all." You can say one thing for Germany. She didn't dismiss the French collectors with a request to call again next pay day. In the matter of farm aid, Wall Street is disposed to let George do it. And there's very little humor in this George aid. Hindenburg says it is better to perish in honor than to live in disgrace. And much better to live in honor than to perish in disgrace. —Hemstitching by Mme. Parks. New location. 250 E. Center.

The audience seem particularly to enjoy the act in which a play rehearsal is joyously burlesqued, with Mr. Atwill directing from the audience. If a lady does reach the point of throwing her wedding scornfully at her husband, she must do it here after in the privacy of their own apartment or else find a mutual friend's where it may be done with equal quiet and protection of secrecy. Mrs. Williah Kimbro was fined fifteen dollars in the magistrates court because she chose a restaurant for the setting of this repudiative gesture. The diners were all so interested in the sight that they created disorder which plued the proprietor to the point of having the disagreeing man and wife arrested. Whether it was because she threw it or because she wore it that the crowd was so affected is not made clear.
