Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS In the serious crises of the soul's history, it is alone. It is a path on which there is room only for itself, and before it, there is God. Between these two always the matter has to be settled. Yes or no is the hinge on which everything turns.—Dr. William M. Taylor. Fuel for the Public Is President's Word President Coolidge is determined that the public shall not suffer for fuel, should the anthracite miners decide to strike. The President is organizing distributing facilities and in other ways is prepared to meet an emergency, should one be created in the hard coal field. Meantime, efforts to reach agreement between miners and operators are unavailing. When Congress meets, this question of frequent suspensions of coal mining should receive vigorous attention. There should be legislation which would provide a check to suspension of coal mining, for any cause whatsoever. This legislation should proceed upon the theory that the vital needs of the public must be protected and conserved. Fuel is a vital need. No industrial controversy and no situation or condition should be permitted to deprive the people of an adequate supply. The government, by every power and influence at its command, should proceed to keep the coal mines running, even though extreme methods may be required. Because the cruel prospect of a fuel famine in winter in the cold climes of the East, justifies extraordinary measures to forestall the frightful consequences of a dearth of fuel. Other reports of disastrous floods. Other losses of life. Other huge damage to property. And so it will be until floods are controlled by scientific devices. Vast Sums Expended in Building Roads The United States is building more roadway than any other Other reports of disastrous floods. Other losses of life. Other huge damage to property. And so it will be until floods are controlled by scientific devices. Vast Sums Expended in Building Roads The United States is building more roadway than any other country. It is expending huge sums for better highways. More than $100,000,000 is being spent annually upon road building. This outlay is adding to the sum total of bettered roads and is making the United States noted throughout the world for its splendid system of highways. California long since began its career of improving its highways. It has expended huge sums, in the aggregate. More is being expended, from year to year. The system of improved roads here is being extended and improved constantly. This state's highways are the toast of discriminating tourists who have traveled the highways of other states and find superiorities here. "Silence is golden"—if one would get ahead in politics. There is heroism in the commonest walks of life. It requires only the occasion to bring it out. Good will, in personal relations, in business affairs or in international dealings, is an asset of value beyond compute. There will be a tinge of romance in receiving mail by air, on this coast, that is posted the day before in New York or some point on the Atlantic seaboard.

As we remember the Boston police strike, the cool in Coolidge doesn't refer to his feet. President? An official people can nag at when their follies and extravagance get them in bad. A dangerous fanatic doesn't become very dangerous until some fool in authority makes him a martyr. It seems to require a great deal of force to make the Italian enjoy his deliverance from Bolshevism. This mad and heartless striving after money seems especially wicked to those of us who can't get any. As a rule, the man who whitens for a square deal is whining for a set-up at a corner pocket. Don't think he is important because he appears to have a big grouch. Who ever heard of a grouchy winner? A peace loving land is one where only 8 per cent of the people know the second verse of the national anthem.

Miss Nelson and Miss Osborne spent one day last week visiting friends at Long Beach. Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Rock and children returned on Friday from a visit of a week with Mr. Rock's sister at National City. Mrs. Hemmerson and Mrs. Ernest Woodfin were Santa Ana and Anaheim shoppers on Saturday. Mrs. S. W. Middleton is entertaining her sister, Mrs. Gilmore of Grayford Texas. The sisters had not seen one another in 12 years. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hammerson had as guests during the past week Mr. and Mrs. Richards of Long Beach and Mr. and Mrs. James Smith of Long Beach. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Shaw and sons motored to Hollywood to see the Covered Wagon at Graumans Egyptian theater on Sunday. Donald Brown of San Bernardino is spending a week with his aunt Mrs. O. R. Dane. Virginia Robeson is spending the week with her aunt Mrs. Ella R. Adams at Monterey Park. Mr. A.

L. Robeson and children attended the Colorado state picnic at Sycamore Grove on Sunday. Mrs. L. T. Wilsey visited during the past week with friends at Pomona. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hilliman are the proud parents of a young daughter... As a rule, the man who whines for a square deal is whining for a set-up at a corner pocket. Don't think he is important because he appears to have a big grouch. Who ever heard of a grouchy winner? A peace loving land is one where only 8 per cent of the people know the second verse of the national anthem. The strange part is that a woman can't be an affinity without getting some practice as another man's wife. A free country is one in which no man is suppressed except the one whose arguments the majority can't answer. Men are more modest. A woman will make up her face in public, but a man won't even make up his mind in public office. Those African natives who use a jaw bone as a musical instrument probably produce nothing more atrocious than our chin music. The fault of the average highbrow is that he never knows whether to like a performance until he reads what the critics say next day.

BASCOM SLEMP The recent appointment by President Coolidge of former congressman G. Bascom Slemp of Virginia to be his secretary not only takes to the president's side one of the most influential Republicans of the south but apparently gives Coolidge an alliance with the forces of former Gov. Lowden of Illinois. Mr. Slemp is wealthy. For many years he was the lone Republican congressman from any southern state. He was an important figure in National Republican conventions. His ability to rally southern delegates has made him famous. He has generally been considered the Republican patronage arbiter of Virginia. Details of Mr. Slemp's history are given in the statement issued from the White House in connection with his appointment. This statement says in part: "Mr. Slemp is a native of Turkey Coye, Lee county, Virginia; born in 1870; he graduated from the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington in 1891 and studied law at the University of Virginia; taught mathematics at the Virginia Military Institute, 1900 and in 1901, and practiced law at Big石stone Gap, Va., thereafter. He is president of the Slemp Coal Co., the Hamilton Reality Co., and other corporations. He has been chairman of the Republican state committee of Virginia since 1905. Mr. Slemp's father, was a member of congress for several years from the ninth Virginia district, and on his death in 1907, his son, who now becomes secretary to the president, was elected to fill the unexpired term. "Thereafter he was elected regularly to the sixty-first, sixty-second, sixty-third, sixty-fourth, sixty-fiveth, sixty-sixth and sixty-seventh congresses, retiring voluntarily on March 4 last to give attention to his personal affairs. His home is at Big石stone Gap. "Owing to his long congressional service, he is one of the most widely acquainted men in public life. He was one of the intimate friends of the late President Harding, who offered him a place on the civil service commission, later the position of assistant secretary of commerce, and at still another time that of ambassador to Peru. All of these were declined. Mr. Slemp is a member of the Army and Navy club and the Washington Country club. He is a bachelor." DINNER STORIES Later triumphs never afford the thrill a small boy feels when first he learns to split through his teeth. Our notion is that women are naturally more heroic than men. Who ever saw a man with nerve enough to pluck his whiskers? It isn't disregard of his comfort that makes a man wear a high collar so much as a fine contempt for the beauty of his Adam's apple. Correct this sentence: "If you will let me have a hundred," begged the intimate friend. "I can make a killing and I'll split with you." Appreciative of Its Distinctiveness and Cheery Atmosphere—Grateful for the Comfort and Protection It Bestows. Thankful for the Blessings and Privileges Which Make It a "World of Its Own" —Your Home. These are Wonderful thoughts. Homes are truly man's greatest achievement, and when the planning and building is given over to those whose business it is to create attractiveness with maximum of convenience, it is then ideal, worth-while homes are made a reality. Too many times homes are constructed with absolute disregard for beauty insofar as the exterior appearance is concerned, and the interiors made ridiculous because of the haphazard manner in which the rooms are divided. Appreciating fully that it costs no more to build modern, attractive, convenient homes than it does the ornary variety, the wonder is that so many will undertake investing their savings in building materials and labor and receive in return homes which reflect anything but a pleasing atmosphere. No longer is it necessary to do this, as our Photographic Plan Service conveys every conceivable modern idea in home building, and from it you can choose plans for just the kind of home you will want to build, and we are anxious to serve you.
