DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS God only great, the humble flowerets name. God only true, the mighty floods proclaim. God only good, winds tell, from spot to spot. O man! let idle vaunts deceive you not. —Victor Hugo The logical sequel to the Marathon dance is the slow procession to the cemetery and the eternal sleep there. The best way to celebrate Raisin Day is to invite a goodly throng of raisins to keep company with your appetite. Florida should regulate its peonage system. Nowhere under the starry Flag should such a brutal relic of slavery days be tolerated. Some persons will not be satisfied in Heaven unless they can get an east front or south front corner lot on which to build their celestial mansions. Living in an atmosphere of cheerfulness and optimism heightens one's enjoyment of life, fosters health and adds to the span of human existence. Keeping an even tenor makes life happier, and makes one more agreeable in the presence of others. William Shakespeare all in all is the most brilliant star that ever lighted the literary firmament.

He is conceded to be the great literary genius of all time. No author has so filed and influenced the literary output of those who have come after him. When Uncle Sam once more recognizes Mexico, that sister republic should be scrupulously careful not to incur the good uncle's displeasure again. Uncle Sam does not refuse to recognize any country except for good and sufficient reasons. Once these causes are removed, recognition comes promptly. Taxes never will be lowered and economy in government never will be instituted in California and throughout the nation until appropriations are lowered and until businesslike budgets are made and adhered to consistently. It is impossible—utterly impossible—to increase appropriations and expenditures and at the same time decrease taxes and economize. Maintenance of prevailing prosperity depends upon the sensibility of the people, particularly of the captains of industry and the masters of money. There must not be a mania for wild speculation; nor must there be insatiate greed. If the economic equilibrium should be upset by these inordinate conditions, the nation must suffer and the forces and influences making for prosperity would be staggered and helped. Newspapers influence is tremendous in enlightening the people and in moulding public opinion. President Harding, as a veteran editor and publisher, realizes this. He is appealing to the press of the country to uphold his stand on the International Court of Justice. His appeal will not be vain, so far as great numbers of influential newspapers are concerned. Alaska will be benefitted greatly, no doubt, by President Harding's forthcoming visit. With two influential members of his cabinet the President will study the situation there firsthand, in all its angles. Then will come such administrative changes as may be needed, together with recommendations to Congress for legislation to meet the needs of the Far Northwest. Alaska is developing amazingly. And yet its progress is retarded because of frictions there and because political and economic conditions. California should strike out upon omical lines—upon more business in its state government. The new manifest. But when the issue comes there is too much proneness for groups of the population to hold our keeping up heavy appropriations for situations, departments or causes. Ment calls for sacrifice somewhere sacrifice should be made with good long as it is not governmental efficient sacrificed. KEEP SCHOOLS FORE OF POLITICS Politics should have no place in politics. There come intimations, from time in California and in other states, are being dragged into politics, or gged into the schools. All such tendencies should be frowned upon leingly. The schools belong to all the people conduct should be upon non-partisan out political considerations enter educational processes. Nor should nationalism over schools. The whole trend of planning with reference to the schools shown from political domination. School thoroughly democratic and thoroughative of the will of all of the people. Sparks and Spill First we cry for what we want, it and finally help ourselves to it. The spider's web is a life net for another. If a man falls in his endeavor spark of good behind, his life was.

In fact, its long keeping qualities make it the safest and cheapest butter to buy—and is proof that Challenge Creameries use the finest of raw materials and exceptional skill in making— CHALLENGE BUTTER Joe W EDITORIAL ICAN LANDS FOR THE SMALL FARMER ment of significance comes from the effect that the federal governthere is encouraging the subdividing states among small farmers. This has long need, below the Rio Grande, for immorial. President Obregon is instinative progressive reform. Terrazas estate of nearly 3,000,000 in the state of Californiana—a veritable self—has been expropriated by the government. The record owners will be 10,000 by the Mexican government. Holding will be opened to colonizaners on small allotments of the land make for permanent peace, proscontentment in Mexico. Intensive small farmers who would be given of their little tracts, would usher in the economic life of Mexico. There is gratification on this side of the border this evolution in the sister republic. NOT ENTHUSIASM FOR ECONOMY A apathetic attitude in certain quarters proposed reduction of California's tax? Why the inconsistency of many decreeing heavy taxes and demanding extending stanchely in the way of protary reductions in the cost of政 a should strike out upon more econisms—upon more businesslike methods in government. The need of this is but when the issue comes to test, too much proneness for elements and the population to hold out rigidly for heavy appropriations for their pet indepartments or causes. Retrenchfor sacrifice somewhere. And this would be made with good grace, so not governmental efficiency that is ABE MARTIN Mr. an' Mrs. Art Smiley have a new boy at ther home instead of a girl as usual.

A pipe seems cheaper than cigarettes, but think of the extra years you VIOLENT DISORDERS FEARED IN GERMANY By S. D. WEIR (L. N. S. Staff correspondent) BERLIN, April 30.—Violent May Day disorders are feared in Germany tomorrow. In the Ruhr German workers are planning to make an anti-French demonstration. In Bavaria both the Fascists and Communists are planning parades in defiance of a government warning and a clash is feared. The danger of civil war has grown tremendously since the Ruhr was occupied by France. The German Ruhr front is still solid—passive resistance continues, but under the surface storms are brewing. An explosion may come tomorrow or it may hold off until the impending exchange of notes between Germany and the allies comes to a head. So serious are the symptoms of disintegration that many warning voices are making a last attempt to make themselves heard in such quarters abroad as may render eleventh hours assistance to Germany. Most of these voices are sounded secretly. Among the mare the voices of Catholic church leaders in Germany who visualize a tide of bolshevism rolling westward and making Central Europe the first bloody battle ground in the supreme struggle for supremacy of the continent. COURTHOUSE BURNS (By International News Service) LINCOLN, April 30.—According to a report at the governor's office this morning, the courthouse at North Platte, Lincoln county, burned last night.

A pipe seems cheaper than cigarettes, but think of the extra years you will live to smoke. Wealth may be, a disease, as Mr. Bryan says. We know a man who took it and was confined for three years. It frequently happens that those who know most about good manners know the least about kindness. Correct this sentence: "He held office for eight years and retired to private life without a sigh of regret." A good neighborhood is one where you spend $40 a month for a house and the other $60 to tickle your vanity. Long, long ago the host washed his guest's feet; now he is supposed to soak his guests in alcohol. Love is the quality that persuades the stenographer to marry the boss and work for him thereafter without salary. A writer speaks of a threatened "commercial war." Has there been any other kind in the last two hundred years? It is possible, however, that the long-distance dancer who went crazy did not have such a long way to go. Even the business of reforming the other fellow must be a little wicked. There seems to be a lot of fun in it. Just what holy cause will France be defending when Germany starts a row to win the Ruhr back forty years from now? A professor says the Sphinx is masculine, but his testimony is hardly necessary in view of its long continued silence. The annoying thing about being thirty minutes late for an appointment is that you must wait thirty or even long enough if I git a skirt altered, if we wanted to?" asked Mrs. Eun Moots t'day.
