EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher Activities in Behalf of Colorado Pact Good citizenship of the American Legion of Arizona is shown by the course of that worthy organization in working strenuously for ratification of the Colorado river pact. Arizona's adverse course to date has held back this great project. There is no reason to hope for favorable action at Washington until all seven states in the Colorado River Basin have ratified this agreement for the allocation of irrigation water and power development. Arizona, it would seem, should be among the very first states to accept this compact, inasmuch as it will benefit prodigiously, in a material way, from the construction of the projected great dam and the effectual control of the waters of the Colorado for the useful purpose of man. Other states of the Colorado Basin have acted affirmatively. If Arizona would give the expression of the sentiment of the majority of its people—which seemingly is favorable to the compact—there would be hope of getting constructive action at Washington. Arizona's American Legion members are working vigorously and non-partisanly for the election of men to the Legislature who will support this compact. This is a good work indeed. Mobism is not true Americanism. Minnesota has not clarified the national political situation. The best that any man can do is to do the best that he possibly can. There is no rule of conduct so safe and satisfying as to be rigidly honest at all times, in all circumstances. The United States in no circumstances should lend money to any country to be used in militaristic enterprises. One never grows old in spirit so long as one loves children and enters into their sports and pastimes. America is doing itself proud in pledging aid in exceedingly generous measure to desolated Japan. Fear and worry cause more premature deaths than all other causes combined.

To rest after work is delightful. To work after rest is equally to be enjoyed, if one views life as one should. Man a man, by reason of his follicles and excesses, is his own scorst enemy. The pathway of honesty and uprightness is not strewn with regrets and remorse. Daredevil flights should be prohibited. Human life is too precious to be staked in such gamble as that. There will be enough "favorite sons" seeking the Presidency next year to keep the contest lively right up to the hour of nomination. California banks are making phenomenal gains in deposits and assets. Banking conditions throughout the state are exceptionally encouraging. The wheat market in the United States is the sickliest it has been for years. The whole wheat situation is discouraging enough to farmers. Politics makes many enmities and inflicts many a wound. They who would have peace of mind and freedom from malignment should keep out of politics. There are mighty makers who are trying to foment revolution in Mexico. They should receive no aid from this side of the border. The eclipse of the sun gave rise to much festing and to no end of facetious remarks. But when one thinks more deeply of it, one is impressed with the solemnity of it all—with the wonders of creation and the power and wisdom of the Almighty.

Yes, it's a great thing to teach school; it's a wonderful thing to be a teacher." To each of you who take up the task of teaching in the schools of Anaheim, we extend our hearty congratulations—for yours, indeed is a work worth while. FIRST NATIONAL BANK AMERICAN SAVINGS: BANK of Anaheim AMERICAN LABOR CRUSOE DISCOVERS SIGNS OF HOSTILE INVADERS ORGANIZED LABOR UNITED MINE WORKERS OF AMERICA PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN Statesman: One who arranges for you to fight for his country. The two things most costly to maintain are a used car and national honor. The most common impediment in the speech of Americans is gum. A relative is a person who wonders why you ever married into that kind of family. The Relief Commission reports that Russia's heart has been won. Her head, however, remains a touching. If immigration is shut off, where shall we find men green enough to work for less than they are worth? The Slavs have insulting epithets unknown to other people, but they never call one another bare-faced lilars. A writer says homes are cleaner than they were a generation ago. Ah, well; they are used less. It is estimated that 87 per cent of the worrying is done by people who have no other regular occupation. Monkeys tire of anything quickly, and divorce statistics indicate that there may be something in that Darwin theory. Correct this sentence: "I don't care if we have no guests," declared the wife; "we are going to use the best napkins anyway." Ancient: "Pilate took water and washed his hands." Modern: "Well, we've passed a law about it." DINNER STORIES A salesman who was determined to sell a bill of goods to a shrewd old Yorkshire merchant had talked in his hardest, most eloquent and persuasive way for nearly an hour. Everybody's says. Finally the merchant seemed to be convinced that the line was just what he wanted, and the traveler felt amply repaid for his extra effort. But the Yorkshire man added, reflectively: "There's ma lad Jack. Ah'd laike him to hear what ye have to say. Will ye coom this evenin' an' go over your talk again?" The traveler gladly assented to the proposition, and at the appointed hour presented himself again for the interview with father and son. Again he went over the forceful selling points of his line. Never had he put forth or more persuasive talk. When he had finished, the old man turned to his son most enthusiastically and said: "Do you hear that Jock? Well, now, that's the way I want ye to sell goods on the road." $5.00 CASH IN YOUR HOME No Further Payments For 30 Days Dolly Type Electric Washers with swinging Wringers and extension bench for extra tub... $85 $5 Cash $5 per Mo.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT TO THE ADVICE DONORS "Oh, tee man worth while is the man who can smile." And all such advisory rot Is the manner of stuff that puts me in a huff— I'd as soon commit murder as not. Any blamed optimist gets a taste of my fist With a slogan like that one, I'll vouch. For I'm durned if I'll grin if I should be in A mood where I hanker to grouch. And I hate millionaires always putting on airs And telling what others should save. We should lay up each cent for the oncoming rent Till the day that we go to the grave. All of this free advice is no doubt very nice, Though you cannot deny that it's chill. But if every one did in the way that he's bid, Then where could we pick up a thrill? I loathe and despise these efficiency guys Who say that a fellow can live On a dollar a day in a comfortable way— I scorn the advice that they give. But I'd take a leaf from their generous sheaf Of free counsel, and one leaf alone: "Since my business seems to overmuch worry you, I'd suggest, sir, you minded your own." DER TAG A Mother-in-Law Day's the latest event That enthusiasts now have suggested; The calendar's getting a brand-new portent Each day with its meaning invested. So let's have a day for Non-Payment-of-Tax, And another for Law-Violation. And one to Kill-Columnists-Making-Bum-Cracks, And ope for Their-Incineration. And then, when we've used up three sixty and four And have them lined out perpendicular, Let's try to inaugurate just one day more A Day-Set-for-Nothing-Particular. You can lead a member of the Association Opposed to the Prohibition Amendment to water, but you can't make him drink it.
