DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS glad because He comes! That His blest visits are of every day. sweeten toll, to give that toll reward.—Suzan Coolidge. Inasmuch as California onion crop will be short this year, there will be as cause for deodorizing of breath. Kidnapping of children is a monrous crime that nothing but hangg or electrocuting is adequate to finish. One of the most delightful of all reasons in California is summer. The greater the number of persons living elsewhere who learn this, the greater will be the influx of summer visitors. It should be possible to reapporon California legislatively without dividing its people into bitterly hosle sectional camps. The less seconialism the state has the better or all concerned. Let Ohio name the Republican and democratic candidates for President in 1924, and Buckeyes will care not what other state gets the national conventions. Revival of business and industry no longer is questioned, even by the economists. The betterment is so procounted that every part of the counry feels the reflex of it. Improved conditions will be lasting from present indications. Quick riches derived from small investments are not to be found offen. Attainment of great wealth from small outlay is not the natural order and not the thing to be expepected. Larid promises of this nature usually are absolutely dishonest and designed to defraud. It might be just as well to leave Mr. Harding himself any announcement he may desire to make, or to have made, with reference to renom- GIVE COLLEGE DEGREE A gracious bit of sentiment is being put forth by Washington and Jefferson College, of Washington, Pa. Sixty years ago Private Dalzell, long known, honored and amired by G. A. R. veterans all over the country, left his studies at Washington and Jefferson to take up arms in defense of the Union. Like many other college and university students, he thought first of his country. After the war Private Dalzell was not able to finish his college course. It is proposed by Washington and Jefferson College authorities to give this venerable veteran, now 84 years old and an imate of the United States Soldier's Home at Washington, D.C., the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This will cheer the gallant old fighter and will please his many admirers throughout the country. It were well if other colleges and universities followed the same course in honoring Civil War veterans who were called from their studies to enter the service. PROTECT FORESTS NOW There is good and sufficient reason for the apprehension that Supervisor Charlton, of the Angeles National Forest Reserve, feels urgent the danger of forest fires in the water-shed back of Panadena. The unprecedent spring drouth has left the forests here dry as tinder. Thus much as this season usually is attended with rains and consequently imposes less hazards of fire than during the normal dry season, the number of rangers now on guard in this reserve is inadequate. Mr. Charlton is asking for more aid, and is requesting municipalities and big service corporations to co-operate with him. The public should do its part, too, in safeguarding against disastrous fires in this tinder-like area. Extra precautions should be exercised by campers and hikers, and autoists in driving along highways should not throw lighted cigar or cigarette stubs in the dry grass or weeds.

Brotherly love c Quick riches derived from small investments are not to be found often. Attainment of great wealth from small outlay is not the natural order and not the thing to be expected. Larur promises this nature usually are absolutely dishonest and designed to defraud. It might be just as well to leave Mr. Harding himself any announcement he may desire to make, or to have made, with reference to renomination. Good taste dictates that the President should have the first word on a subject so momentous. Uncle Sam can and should do a monumental service to the people by breaking up the arrant fraud by which enormous sums have been inveigled from guillable investors who seek swift richen and do not hesitate to put good money into worthless stocks or dishonest enterprises. President Harding insists upon doing his own thinking and declining as to whether or not he will seek renomination. Which is quite disconcerting to the Washington correspondents, who are never averse to doing the president's thinking and deciding for him. More power to the department of justice, in its special activities against oil-stock swindles, fraudulent promoters and others who dishonestly promise quick riches. Through these despicable processes predulous Americans are defrauded of hundreds of millions of dollars annually. A definite system of forest protection and reforestation is one of the most urgent needs of the United States today. California should lead the nation in this, by protecting its forests sedulously in co-operation with the federal government, and by instituting for itself a reforesting system. Systematic and extensive planting of forest trees in this state would set a fine example before the nation. California could make a great name for itself by this, and at the same time promote its own material interests. WISE AND WITTY To stop a fool from talking would be to block a volcano's eruption. The leaner the wolf the fatter the calf looks to him. Big projects are conceived in silence, while petty achievements are heralded with a big drum. There is no stop-over between life and death; the repentance must be done on this side. He is wise who learns from a fool. Even a tenderfoot grows calloused under certain conditions. Sarcastic jokes are conveyors of nerveless convictions. RIUTCEL - WETHERE FURNITURE COMPANY Phone 54-J 151 N.

No investigation is required as a preliminary to warning the country that if things go on as they are going the price of gasoline will soon rise to a dollar a gallon. On the contrary, any real investigation would show that such coclusion is as ridiculous as it sounds. Alcohol and other substitutes are already being produced at prices that threaten the position of oil in the market, and the competition would not be rendered less sharp by a jump in the price of oil. It is difficult to discuss such a report seriously. It smells less pungently of oil than of politics. One half expects to see the committee follow up the warning about dollar gasoline with warnings that unless something happens we shall soon be paying a dollar a pound for sugar, a dollar a yard for thread, and a dollar a piece for eggs. If any oil company is indulging in practices which interfere unfairly with the business of any of its competitors, it is strange that such competitor makes no complaint. The Federal Trade Commission was created for the very purpose of hearing such complaints and taking action upon them. For Congress to adopt the eight La Follette "remedies" for the alleged "intolerable conditions" in the oil industry would be to exercise the functions of the Trade Commission. Certainly Congress cannot apply the "remedies" in any particular case. That is a task which can be performed only by an administrative body. AWARDS OF PUBLIC SERVICE New York Evening Post Award of the Edward Bok prize of $10,000 to Dr. Russell H. Conwell is evidence that we are finding ways of rewarding public service which is not of a kind to win political distinction. This prize known as the Philadelphia Award, was established in 1921. It is to be conferred each year upon the man or the woman in Philadelphia who has "performed or brought to its culmination an act or contributed a service calculated to advance the beat and largest interests of Philadelphia." It is thus a strictly local prize and may frequently be conferred upon some one whose name is unknown beyond the limits of that city. This is eminently desirable, since it is not always the greatest service that is most conspicuous, and the award of such a prize would be an impressive reminder of that fact. Dr. Conwell, as it happens cannot qualify as a Philadelphian whose reputation is limited to his own municipality. His famous lecture, "Acres of Diamonds," has been delivered all over the country. The whole country, too, knows that the millions of dollars which its delivery has brought to the clergyman-lecturer have been used to assist worthy students. More than 3000 have been aided in this way. Dr. Conwell's entire life reads like romance. Temple University, which he founded, started from a class of two young men who asked him to help them prepare for the ministry. On the second evening the two were seven and on the third they were forty. As the number increased teachers were obtained. A building became necessary, and so, step by step, the institution grew until now it has more than 10,000 students. PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) That S. O.

The difference between being a domestic servant and being a wife is about $6 a week. It becomes increasingly clear that isolation on one side means desolation on the other. Brotherly love can't hope to become universal while its style is cramped by patriotism. Lots of parents think they are tender-hearted when they are simply too yellow to do their duty. Courtesy is the quality that keeps you waiting patiently and sweetly while the man who howls for service gets all the attention. It may be that idleness encourages crime, but Adam didn't raise Cain until he had to go to work. A normal woman is one whose biscuits turn out to be a flat rattle when company stays for dinner. In our modern institutions, a "grind" is one who spends industrious hours developing his batting eye. America's great heart is touched every time she remembers how many goods Europe buys in the old wars. Entertaining in the old wet days wasn't so difficult. The host wasn't expected to repond his time mixing drinks. As we remember it, this makes thirty-seven consecutive years that the peach crop has been ruined by late frost. The chap who sifts his hushes without regard for the clothes on his neighbor's line always reminds us of a Congressional bloc. Correct this tentence: "The girls decided to do without spring hats in order that Mother might have a new suit this time." When a statesman says civilization itself is in danger, he means he has failed to get the advantage his country desired. TOWN IN REVIEW We don't want taxation without representation.

America First The World's largest circus (Ringling Brother and Barnum & Bailey combined) gets ready to take the road again. The show this year will travel in 100 railroad cars. It carries 1786 people and the usual equipment and animals, including six performing baby elephants. Such a layout made the nation gape not many years ago. It's a small show today, compared with some of the movie production, but the circus still is "the greatest show on earth." It appeals to Americans because it is typically American — gift, loud bands, sensations, hair-breadth escapes, mob attendance and bunk. See America first—go to the circus.

PLEDGE SUPPORT OF HARDING'S 2ND TERM BY WILLIAM HUTCHINS (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, April 4—The recent announcement that President Harding would be a candidate for a second term in the White House foretalled the launching of a dozen individual presidential booms within the Republican party. Nearly all these potential Republican standard bearers since have pledged support to Mr. Harding. Among the nationally known Republican whose name were mentioned were Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas; Senator William E. Borah of Idaho; Brigadier General Charles G. Dawes of Charge; former Senator William Kenyon of Iowa; Secretary of Commerce Hoover; Hiram Johnson of California; Senator Robert M. La Pollette of Wisconsin; former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois; Senator Meddell McCormick of Illinois; Major General Leonard Wood, now in the Philippines, and Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana. Of this number, political observers declare the General Wood boom had progressed the farthest. GOES TO DEATH AS "MYSTERY WOMAN" By International News Service SAN FRANCISCO, April 4—With only the fragments of a torn photograph to guide them, police today sought to learn the identity of a comely young woman of 35 who committed suicide in her hotel Plaza apartment. Her only known acquaintance in San Francisco, Mrs. Edith Rebham, told the police that the "mystery woman" until five years ago had been the wife of a wealthy Chicago broker who lost his fortune but has since regained it and married his stenographer. $5 Per Month AND UP FIREPROOF AUTO STORAGE 24 Hour Service WEST BROS COMPANY Anaheim, Calif.

The dates for the Anaheim Chautaukua have been definitely set for May 6, 12. "Turn to the Right," the greatest of all American plays, sweet, clean, wholesome and inspiring, will probably draw one of the biggest crowds of the week. It is to be produced by professional players from the studios of Elias Day, famous Chicago Zealand Plainist; Lealie Taylor, Scotch violinist; and Thaviu's Exposition band, headed by the great Thaviu himself. A special event of importance has been planned for the children this year. The Magic Lunar Circus, a real circus in which every Junior Chautauquan will have a part.

It is to be produced by professional players from the studios of Elias Day, famous Chicago coach. Two educational entertainment features of more than ordinary worth will be the music lecture concert by Evelyn McFarlane McClusky, which will give a deeper and fuller appreciation of this greatest of all arts—music; and the programs of Princess TeAta and Company, whose interpretations of Indian legends, songs, and dances, bring to their audiences a truer conception of the characteristic beauty of Indian arts. Then there is Beatrice Weller, clover, chalk-salker artist; Alice Shrode, child artist, who sings and whistles her way into the hearts of her auditors of all ages; and Winifred Windus, beautiful and gifted reader, who presents "Six Cylinder Love." Heading the lecture list is "Jimie" Heron, Scotch rumorist, who is said to be a composite of Harry Lauder, and "Bobble" Burns. He gives much of his own verse in the infinitable Scotch dialect, which helps to emphasize many points in his brilliant lecture, "Building Better Business By Building Better Men." Other prominent names found on the list of lecturers are Ng Poon Chew, Chinese editor, statesman and orator; Tom Skeyhill, Australian soldier-poet, who has just returned from Europe with the greatest lecture of his career.
