Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Rebuke the sin, and yet in love rebuke; Feel as one member in another's pain; Win back the soul that his fair path forsook, And mighty and eternal is thy gain. —Edmeston. ISOLATION POLICY NOT EXTREME HERE America is not extremely isolationist with reference to the problems of Europe. Politically, this country is isolated, and ever should be. It never has had and it never should have a political alliance with any nation or any groun pof nations, in any part of the world. The course marked out by George Washington and other fathers of this republic, discountenancing "entangling alliances" with foreign powers, should be observed religiously for all time. But there are many things upon which and about which this Nation can and should co-operate with other powers. On issues, and movements which promote peace, this country may and should lend sympathetic voice and effort. The peace of the world directly concerns America. This country is benefited by peace abroad, and is harmed by war abroad. Enlightened selfishness—leaving aside human considerations—should impel this country to strive to maintain peace throughout the world. The country faces a prosperous winter, from all indications. There are no storms brewing in the economic sky, so far as can be seen. Wireless is a godsend to navigation, and erer will be. The terrors of the sea have been minimized since the evolution of radio. The best one can do is none too good to give to one's daily work. SCENIC HIGHWAY IS OF IMPORTANCE HERE The country faces a prosperous winter, from all indications. There are no storms brewing in the economic sky, so far as can be seen. Wireless is a godsend to navigation, and erer will be. The terrors of the sea have been minimized since the evolution of radio. The best one can do is none too good to give to one's daily work. SCENIC HIGHWAY IS OF IMPORTANCE HERE Projected scenic highway from the Arroyo Seco to San Gabriel canyon is of interest and importance to Pasadena. Report that state and county are tentatively agreed to expend $600,000 on this project within the next two years indicates that this big asset to Pasadena soon is to be consummated. Of importance, too, is announcement that the federal government is to expend considerable sums in building trails and fire breaks in the Pasadena watershed. The mountains and canyons in the rear of Pasadena are of unusual picturesqueness. With a highway built and maintained from the Arroyo to San Gabriel canyon, skirting high peaks and with roads leading to their summits, there will be afforded sightseers one of the grandest drives in America. Consummation of this project means that Pasadena will have an added attraction to draw tourists. It also means much delight for permanent residents of this city. On holidays and leisure hours, families can get aboard the family automobile and make this entrancing trip without discomfort and without consuming too much time. Every encouragement should be given to those who have charge of this enterprise. And Pasadena should appreciate the full value of this project—value to itself and its people directly, and value indirectly in affording pleasure to tourists. Do not overlook or refrain from giving "the little word in kindness spoken." There is healing for bruised hearts in kindly words. Punctuality is one of the most attractive of virtues. It is needed on every hand to facilitate the functionings of modern life. Moderaton in all things prolongs life, keeps one's nerves in order and gives keener enjoyment in living. Europe sowed the wind of militarism, and now is reaping the whirlwind.

THOMSON You can't have a good digestion When you're spoiling for a fight; For you'll find that strong emotions Interfere with appetite. Direct the feeding and correct the fault. There's no use in chasing climate, Hunting cures away out weat; Drink rich milk and eat fried chicken, Go to bed and take a rest. Wise folks lead simple lives but not all simple folks lead wise lives. It's all right to sleep in hot, stuffy bedrooms if you're well covered—with insurance. If we'd pay more attention To the mode of prevention, And less to the question of cure; The ills that beset us Would have to forget us, The fewer we'd have to endure. The bath which stimulates one may depress another. Generally speaking, the cool bath is a better stimulant than a cold bath.

You can dig up in heroic fashion without being kissed by a French general. As a general thing, people be. lieve in the form of government under which they are so fortunate as to make money. Some nations decay because they desire a place in the sun, and some because the folks all desire a place in the shade. At any rate the robber barons who frisked the unfortunate traveller had the grace not to call their places service stations. When a small-town girl begins her third year as a school teacher, the married women begin to talk about her bad luck. You can usually tell which side is getting licked. It is the one that talks about the sacredness of the Constitution. It is yet too early to tell just how the economic situation will be used to necessitate a higher price for cranberries.

Correct this sentence: "Tid lots rather a tiny blue-white," said she; "than a very large stone with imperfect coloring." Get somebody else to take you." DINNER STORIES There was once an artist who was illustrating a novel. "It's a pity it's a love story," he said to the author, "because the only thing I can draw really well is a charging rhinoceros." "That's easy," replied the author, and turning up the passage where "he quailed before her proud glance," he inserted a few words and handed the MS. to the artist, who read. "He, who had often faced a charging rhinoceros unmoved, now quailed—" And so the picture appeared, with the words, "He—faced a charging rhinoceros." — London Daily News. Berrien was an honest man with considerable military ability, according to Judge. His bullets were pretty sure to give a good account of themselves. He had the reputation among his fellows of being a marksman—sometimes an easy marksman, but always respected for his proficiency with the rifle.

"Yes, yes, I did," said Mr. Berrien, seeming suddenly in a great hurry to get away. "There," said Mr. Goode, "I knew it." "Yes," replied Mr. Berrien, "I hit it, but if you must know, it was the other fellow's target." What practical things can be done to induce people to exercise personal care to prevent fires? While the fire prevention propaganda must have accomplished results, yet the masses of the people still display the same old careless habits. The fact ought to be brought home to the people that they add to their own cost of living when they do things in careless ways that cause fires.—Turlock Journal.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING FARMERS ARE FLOURISHING—Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette A summer excavator who spent her holidays on a farm in Northern Illinois announces that she met no discontented farmers. The community she was in was the kind that restores one's faith in the fundamental good sense of America. It was not an unduly prosperous community, but everyone was getting along slowly and surely. There were electric lights in houses and barns, the electric lighting plant in the basement run by a gasoline engine. There were washing machines and electric irons for the farm wife. There were automobiles—frequently hard-worked filivers, but always competent to transport prisoners to their destination over bad roads as well as good. There were diversified activities—stock raising as well as food crops. There were the most up-to-date tile and cement silos, there were milking machines and so on. On most of the farms the dairy herd is tested regularly by government experts and tubercular cows are promptly eliminated. Public opinion is beginning to demand that the tests be made compulsory, so that clean herds will not have to be pastured just across the fence from infected herds. Almost needless to say, there are good times and community activities. And there are young people who have not left the farms, as the pessimists tell us, unless they have left for four years in college. There must be many other rural communities in the country as cheerful and busy as this one, thinks the city visitor, deciding not to worry too much after about the farmer. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BY MARY ROYAL MOULTON The landlord-owner of land and houses leased to tenants is often a species of individual whose intellect genius and talent are used to augment rents, says Marcel Steinburg. Being a landlord has this extraordinary advantage—a piece of luck scarcely credible—of having the unfortunate tenant affectionately fond of that which he really does not own, but remains in under sufferance. A bathroom where he may shave in daylight, a living room where the sun shines. This feeling of affection lasts with the tenant as long as he remains on the premises, but should he be obliged to move the human nature soon prevails and the tenant soon becomes attached to his new place of abode. The vacated premises often remain ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT The landlord-owner of land and houses leased to tenants is often a species of individual whose intellect genius and talent are used to augment rents, says Marcel Steinburg. Being a landlord has this extraordinary advantage—a piece of luck scarcely credible—of having the unfortunate tenant affectionately fond of that which he really does not own, but remains in under sufferance. A bathroom where he may shave in daylight, a living room where the sun shines. This feeling of affection lasts with the tenant all long as he remains on the premises, but should he be obliged to move the human nature soon prevails and the tenant soon becomes attached to his new place of abode. The vacated premises often remain vacant for months and months. It is then that the "genius" landlord finds that he should have been more cautious and adapted the "love of home" to his advantage. Tenants are beasts of habit and soon adjust themselves to new surroundings. Some even have the habit of believing that everything happens for the best. I have known tenants who have walked by the place where they once lived and gloated over the fact that the apartment was still vacant. Even a poor tenant has feelings and there is at least an excuse for his satisfaction. He loaths the premises where he was once intimately bound and inflores his new home. In the meantime the landlord with talent misses the monthly check. Report comes overseas that English chorus girls are now wearing monocles. Well, as somebody has said, that is better than nothing. It is announced that the Spaniards will pursue the offensive in Morocco. The offensive is something that the Spaniards are seldom far away from. One way to be reasonably certain of a steady supply of heat is to pick out a house in which the landlord lives. Follow the Leaders —they paid to learn.
