Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS We should be thankful for the one talent, not dissatisfied that we have not the many, knowing that we may please God and accomplish the end of our being in the one case as well as the other.—Mary Ware. SEVERE PUNISHMENT IN OIL FRAUDS Severe punishment is being meted out by Federal Judge Bledsoe, who is hearing cases against oil stock swindlers in Texas. Two accused men plead guilty and were sentenced each to one year in prison and a fine of $5000. These swindlers are notoriously cruel. They make persons of limited means their prey. They scruple not to take their ill-gotten gains from those of humble savings. Many have been robbed outrightly of their all by these merciless swindlers. Prison and fine are none too severe for such cowardly frauds. The people should be cautious about investing in oil stocks for which extravagant claims are made. There are good, sound, profitable stocks, which are safe investments. These can be identified by a little care on the part of investors. The pedestrain, as well as the driver, has a responsible part to play in preventing serious mishaps in traffic. The whole obligation should not be shunted onto the autoist. MOTION PICTURES FOR THE SCHOOLS History and geography are being taught in the schools of Washington, the national capital, with the aid of moving pictures. Visual education there is not supplanting textbooks, only supplementing them. When the history lesson is heard, for example, the text book instruction is illustrated by pictures showing scenes in the country whose history is being studied; the same as to geography. The motion picture is sure to be drafted for educational purposes. Some would have pictures supplant textbooks altogether. Others would retain the textbooks, but vivify their teachings with lively pictures of the MOTION PICTURES FOR THE SCHOOLS History and geography are being taught in the schools of Washington, the national capital, with the aid of moving pictures.

The motion picture is sure to be drafted for educational purposes. Some would have pictures supplant textbooks altogether. Others would retain the textbooks, but vivify their teachings with lively pictures of the subject taught, or bearing upon the subject or the branch of learning. The middle course perhaps is the best. The motion picture has its legitimate place in the schoolroom. But its place is not to usurp the whole field of instruction, to the exclusion of text-books. Some young women, as housekeepers are—graceful dancer. Be kind to animals. This is a mark of gentility on the part of anyone. Europe has millions of reasons for keeping the peace where it has one reason for making war. Public spirit is an asset for first importance to any community. There is no danger of getting too much of it. The Lord's Prayer is best prayed by one's actions. To live that wonderful supplication, one must needs live aright. Ignoring of law and evasions and violations of statutory regulations are evils against which every rightly-disposed person should be arrayed. That education is of good quality which is marked by thoroughness and which inspires to higher thought and nobler action. Judge education by its fruits. The spirit of progress is rife in California. It is manifest in the cities and towns and in the rural districts. Advancement is general and substantial. They are having dishwashing competitions in Illinois schools and milking contests in Missouri and Kansas. The good old days and the good old ways have not passed from the earth forever. The airplane will be popularized in time. Inexpensive aerial craft, like light automobiles, will be evolved, so that the masses may have their little airships, as they now have their little automobiles. Good citizenship imposes upon each and every eligible voter the obligation to go to the polls on each and every election day, unless prevented from so doing. The franchise right unused is of no service to the body politic. Another great war would drive civilization to the last ditch, if it did not obliterate it altogether from the face of the earth. The humane, peacefully inclined elements of the human family should put forth every effort to avert a catastrophe of this kind. Having a great American fleet in the Pacific is effectual insurance against successful hostil attack, should this country become engaged in war. The fleet's presence give a sense of security that this Western front door of the Nation could not have otherwise. Christian civilization would be shaken to its foundations, were another World War to ensue. It should be the part of every Christian man and woman, everywhere, to stand staunchly against those courses of action on the part of nations and peoples which breed wars. Radio's development has been and is marvelous. And the end is not yet. The developing process bids fair to go on indefinitely and bring forth even greater wonders than have been achieved.

The wonder is that some daring aviator does not attempt to fly over the Pacific Ocean. This is one worthwhile aeronautic feat not yet accomplished. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING PRESIDENTIAL BOOMS San Bernardino Sun Look at Congressman Cordell Hull of Tennessee. Washington dispatches state that Mr. Hull has nipped in the bud the effort to make him a Democratic Presidential nominee. Detractors may assert that they had never heard even the slightest rattle of the Hull boom. But that proves nothing. Some of the deadliest of animals strike without warning. Mr. Hull, the understanding is, crept stealthily behind his ferocious boom, seized it firmly by the nape of the neck and shook the daylights out of it. For this exploit he deserves all praise. But there is more to be done. More heroes must volunteer for boom-destroying work. The Republican peril is not so great, as only two booms have thus far come out of their lairs. Senator La Follette's candidacy against Mr. Harding can be taken for granted, and Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania is making no effort to stop his state employees from sounding his praise. In the Democratic party, many booms and boomlets are roaming far and wide. Mr. Bryan started the stampede for Representative Ayres of Kansas. Senator Robinson has done nothing to flag the train of enthusiasm the Arkansas Legislature started across the country in his behalf. He probably knows Arkansas trains. Two distinguished Ohioans are speaking here and there. They are John H. Clarke, former Justice of the Supreme Court, and a Mr. Cox of Dayton, who ran for something a few years ago. In the East modesty seems to prevail. Senator Copeland of New York and Governor Silzer of New Jersey are being boomed, but for the vice presidency. It will be open season on booms from now on. Mr. Hull has done well, on staying one early.

NEW YORK LETTER (Lucy Jeanne Price) NEW YORK, June 12.—No longer are arithmetic and the classics sufficient to get children along in the world. Certainly not if they live in New York or any other crowded section of the world. They have got to be taught, just as they would be taught Latin verbs, how to get along with the masses of people around them. And so next September, New York school children are to begin the study of "crowd courtesy" as a regular part of their curriculum. Mrs. Laura Comstock Dunlap started it all, and has persuaded practical-minded board of educationers to take it up. The courtesy course will start in the primary grades, where it will be introduced as a part of the children's play. A regular text book will be studied later on. Among other other things, the pupils will be impressed that when they are hanging to a subway strap, they must hang to it perpendicularly and not sag against their neighbors for partial support. It was a pretty warm day down in the Municipal building the other day but latitude disappeared when the marriage license department was given an opportunity to write the name of David Ludovic George Hopetoun Carnegie, Earl of Northesk and Lord Rosehill and Egislandie. Never in their experience had a name like that come to them before. That is the noble fiance of Jessica Brown, one time Follies dancer, who is following the aptitude of English chorus girls and picking off a title for herself. Lord Northesk, as he is more briefly known, gave his age as twenty-one and his occupation as "nothing." There was a hitch, however, in getting the license as Miss Brown's former divorce didn't meet with all of the necessary conditions of New York marriages, and consequently the young couple will have to motor over to Connecticut or New Jersey for the title to become Jessica's.

About all you can say for the groom is that he holds a responsible position. A happy land is one who everybody is so poor that nobody can envy anybody. Another nice thing about thrift is that it makes you feel so superior to people who are extravagant. Perhaps the League will get under way by the time all the thugs are done that it was designed to prevent. As partisans of and opponents to the World Court Americans are deeply interesting in batting averages. Variety is the spice of life. When the coal men are through with us, the ice men soak us. The poor fish deserves little sympathy. He never gets the hook until he tries to get something for nothing. A lucky farmer is one who raises enough corn to buy gasoline to run his tractor to plow the field next year. We notice an increase in the number of black particles in sugar, and perhaps that is what makes the price higher. The honest author gives credit to all authorities except the printer who punctuates him and corrects his spelling. A small-town railway station is a place where you can spend a week any afternoon while waiting for the next train. POEMS THAT LIVE TO R. T. H. B. Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. —William Ernest Henley. This New Treatment Never Fails to End Piles Many sufferers from Piles or Hemorrhoids have become dependent because they have been led to believe that their case was hopeless and that there was nothing in the world to help them.

A small-town railway station is a place where you can spend a week any afternoon while waiting for the next train. The reason the modern woman doesn't sing about her work is because it might annoy the other members of the office force. Civilizing savage peoples would be easy if the white man could impart his culture as quickly as he imparts his diseases. A German land mortgage will be just the thing if the creditors have an army of ten million when the time comes to foreclose. Speaking of food supplies, why don't "sportsmen" go out and cut down trees and grain just for the joy of killing something? Correct this sentence: "The maid I have now has been with us for three years," said the woman, "and she never has broken anything." —William Ernest Henley. This New Treatment Never Fails to End Piles Many sufferers from Piles or Hemorrhoids have become despondent because they have been led to believe that their case was hopeless and that there was nothing in the world to help them. To these people we say, "Go to your druggist and get an original box of MOAVA SUPPOSITORIES." One of these inserted into the rectum according to directions will be found to give immediate relief. They reach the source of the trouble and by their soothing, healing, antiseptic action first allay the pain and soreness and then by direct contact with the ulcers and piles cause them to heal up and disappear forever. It's simply wonderful how speedily they act. Blessed relief often comes in two days. Even in cases that have steadily resisted all known treatments, marvelous results have been obtained. All druggists dispense MOAVA SUPPOSITORIES in the original box or can get it for you on short notice. Surely it is worth the little trouble to obtain even if you have to write the Products Co. of Rochester, N.Y., for a 60 cent box, to be rid of Piles forever.
