DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Thou knowest of sweet and precious things. My store is scant and small; Yet, wert Thou here in want and woe, Lord, I would give Thee all! —Rose Terry Cooke Keep faith with your better self. Speculatice greed should be barred by law from the whole range of necessaries of life. Let Europe show as much zeal for peace as it does for war, and its future would be bright and happy. When a man proclaims at length how good he is, look around to see what is wrong with him. Goodness needs no self-advertising. It is too much, perhaps, to expect Presidential campaigns to be short and intensive. A great deal of the 1924 political struggle will be fought out in 1923. No speculative inflating of the prices of necessaries should be permitted. State and national laws should be severely against gambling for grain on the dining table of the consumer. Women and girls should have adequate pay for their work and they should have the protection of minimum wage laws. Enactments of this kind should be validated, if need be, by a constitutional amendment. Motoring over California highways at this season is an endless succession of delights. Wild flowers are blooming, the hills, measand valleys are intensely green and the whole aspect of Nature is of livliness, beauty and benignancy. Whatever the Pacific Fleet needs to make it a thoroughgoing fighting outfit should be supplied. So long as it is deemed necessary to have a formidable naval establishment for national defense, the American navy should be at the top notch of efficiency. California is the ideal convention state Climate conditions are favorable, the year around, and there is such diversification of scenery as thrills and enthralls visitors. Many who come to this state as convention delegates, either residents or staff members invest heavily in facilities and equipment. The means of up freight movements have been proven remains for shippers to do their best Among other things, Secretary Hoover that shippers lay in their winter coats during the summer; that they load cars Whatever the Pacific Fleet needs to make it a thoroughgoing fighting outfit should be supplied. So long as it is deemed necessary to have a formidable naval establishment for national defense, the American navy should be at the top notch of efficiency. California is the ideal convention state Climate conditions are favorable, the year around, and there is such diversification of scenery as thrills and enthralls visitors. Many who come to this state as convention delegates, either return or remain to become permanent residents. There is shortage of labor on the farms of the country. The boys who belong on the farm are in the cities, in many instances not doing half so well, financially or otherwise, as they could do back on or near the old homestead. Working conditions and wages on the farms are much better than formerly. But the lure of the city is too great for too many farm dwellers. It is charged now that Professor Einstein plagiarized his celebrated theory of relativity. It is even claimed that Sir Isaac Newton himself—whose theory of gravitation Professor Einstein would overthrow—was the originator of the theory of relativity. It is certain that the accepted conception of gravitation will not be permitted to go by the board without a gallant struggle on its behalf by many scientists and savants. There comes frequent speculation from the scientists and near-scientists as to what would happen to the earth if something should happen to the sun. This "if" does not startle those who maintain faith in the omnipotence and goodness of the Supreme Being. God created the universe, and all that there is in it. And God can sustain it without harm befailing any member of the heavenly family of planets, suns and the smaller bodies. It is no easy task to bring about governmental retrenchment. All who have selfish interest in defeating economies are sure to be active and many plausible reasons are conceived to prove that this, that or the other department or institution would be injured by retrenching. The real reformer along these objections and pleadings and criticisms with heart of stone. A well-developed, conscientious devotion to duty is required to effect economical betterments. NEW YORK LETTER BY LUCY JEANNE PRICE NEW YORK, April 18.—Another apparently society-weary New York woman of prominence has turned her restless gaze and aspiring ambition toward Hollywood. Mrs. James Vail Converse, sister of Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt, is understood to have recently announced to her husband and friends that she is about to enter the motion pictures. It is said further that Mr. Converse is not entirely sympathetic with her aim. The couple are now in Paris but are expected back to New York in a few weeks and then, her friends say, Mrs. Converse will make her movie plans known to the public. Extraordinary efforts to get prompt and efficient transportation for the heavy railroad traffic expected this year, made Secretary of Commerce Hoover sued an earnest appeal to shippers to date with the transportation lines in ling movements of traffic. Mr. Hoover commercial organization to support the ments for quick dispatch of shipping. Railroads have invested heavily in utilities and equipment. The means of up freight movements have been proven remains for shippers to do their best Among other things, Secretary Hoover that shippers lay in their winter coal during the summer; that they load cars city; that they reduce car reconsignments that they refrain from demanding explems of cars in operation. Mr Hoover says that "the full and movement of all the productivity of tha would be the greatest contribution tha be made at the present time in checkiion or increase in price levels." This affords sufficient incentive to shippers mercial bodies to strive actively to pro peditiousness in freight movements. IRRIGATION PLANS OF HUGE SCALE Reclamation works which would irrigate than 5,000,000 acres of land now are before the Department of the Interior are twenty-six of these projects. It is no course, that all of them will be under this time of at any time. But many will be put through to consummation. Several of these are in California: Inrado River Basin there is a grand total 597,000 acres of reclaimable land. Gradually but surely the desert is being irrigated. Streams which hermit flowed wanton to the sea, their water thus wasted in swift running floods, an imprisoned and put under bond, as it behave well and to serve their respectfully by providing water for irrigation for development hydro-electric power. This immense development of natural sources and natural possibilities by means will be of inestimable economic value. AMERICAN SHIPPING BE UPHELD The United States merchant navy maintained as a going concern. This constructive announcement comes directe White House. President Harding Shipping Board, after a conference, gave that in finding a solution for the problem,"the chief end to be sought tablishment and maintenance of the merchant marine." If satisfactory arrangements cannot with private interests, the federal go itself will continue to operate the ship now under the American flag. Some definite, practical, constructive looking plan should be devised and pug into law by Congress to uphold sh American bottoms and to foster commen the American flag. NEW YORK, April 18.—Another apparently society-weary New York woman of prominence has turned her restless gaze and aspiring ambition toward Hollywood. Mrs. James Vail Converse, sister of Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt, is understood to have recently announced to her husband and friends that she is about to enter the motion pictures. It is said further that Mr. Converse is not entirely sympathetic with her aim. The couple are now in Paris but are expected back to New Jersey in a few weeks and then, her friends say, Mrs. Converse will make her movie plans known to the public. This city gives a sensation to the rest of the country every once in a while, but it is going to have one of its own before long. From Brunswick, Georgia, a honeymoon couple are on their way to visit us, traveling all the way in a nice, old-fashioned, horse-driven buggy. By the time they reach New Jersey, we'll probably have runners out to report their approach and a million or so of our population will greet them at the ferry. They are Dr. and Mrs. W. Grant Thorp, aged respectively 63 and 18. In "The Exile," Jose Ruben and Eleanor Painter have splendid opportunity to be their picturesque and romantic selves to the utmost. It is a play of France in the days just preceding and up to the Revoltion, and Jose Ruben plays the role of a dashing and debonair nobleman and playwright, exiled from his country for an act of impudence to Marie Antoinette, while Eleanor Painter is the lovely actress with whom he falls in love. It is a rather gorgeous play, in adventure as well as costuming, and its author, Sidney Toler, may well be proud of his work. I wonder what Richard Barthelmess is doing or getting ready to do for his next picture. I saw him at luncheon today and his black hair is cut as long over his collar in the back as is that many a sub-dub, with a square "bob" that makes him look live a very dark and very stalwart Botticelli angel. Dick is not a person to pose in eccentric ways and some youth of other days muse be his next hero role. No burglar who has heard of Miss Mary Lewis' new portive guard is going to invade her home. When Miss Lewis arrived the other day on the Santa Louisa, she brought with her a new household pet in the form of a coral snake, found down in South America, which is planning to substitute for her family watchdog. The youngest bigamist on record in our New York counts is Leonida Cupolo, fourteen years old, who told the judge that she preferred her second husband, aged 67, to her original one, of 27.

Here it is: "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets". Was there ever a man who put this into practice who became unhappy in the practice? Let him who practices it, testify. That Good Samaritan who became immortal must have been a happier man the rest of his life because of his courtesy to the unfortunate traveler who preceded him on that road to Jerico. He took the time to treat the unconscious man as he himself wished to be treated, were he in that helpless condition. It was a practical application of the Golden PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Don't judge France too hastily. There may be madness in ner method. A widow who has money to burn soon finds old flames to help burn it. According to our records, this is 1923 late springs so far in the California. Another good way to get a million dollars is to save ten dollars a month for $8,333 years. One eternal triangle that no longer appears in our midst is eat, drink and be merry. People who pray only when they are in trouble may be ploug, but more probably they are yellow. When the average man gives to the needy, he feels cheated if he does not get his money's worth of gratitude. A good neighbor is one who never gives you a cause for easy money to keep our jails occupied until 1967. One good way to reduce to music is to listen to the musical clink of the trace chains on the plow harness. Many a man thinks he is democratic because he is glad some millionaire's son is turning out badly.

To reduce the speed of an airplane without slowing its engine a French aviator has invented telescoping wings the area of which can be increased at will. Fan blades have been invented by an Atlanta man to be attached to the flywheel of a sewing machine to blow cooling currents in any desired direction.
