Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS We learn to love God by giving ourselves to Him, by serving Him, by doing His will. Love to God is thus born of self-dedication. Having learned how to love man without selfishness, we can love God in the same way.—James Freeman Clarke. BEAUTY, SUBLIMITY IN NATURE HERE God favored California with scenery that is surpassing for beauty and grandeur. Here come the great artists from distant parts to revel in this lavish natural display of all that attracts the artistic eye and thrills the artist soul. Sunrise and sunset, o'er mountain, mesa, valley, desert or ocean; the wondrously beautiful flowers; the heavenly sweetness of the starry night; the gorgeousness of the moon and its silvery beams; the gigantic peaks; the secluded canyons; the hills and dales; the peaceful, picturesque countryside—all these abound here in California. One does not need the canvas landscape in one's home to gather into the eye an artistic picture in Nature's own setting. California has pictures unnumbered which rival the greatest that master landscape painters have produced. Politics should be governed by reason and calm judgment, not by frenzy, passion and prejudice. The Honda Bay naval disaster goes to court-martial. This is well. Guilt and innocence should be determined definitely. WOMEN SERVING WELL AS JURORS When women first began to serve on juries, the pessimists and the gloomisters shook heads mournfully, as though the end of all things were about to come. But women as jurors have vindicated their capability and usefulness. Women jurors are not swayed by emotion any more than are male jurors. Here is a case, tried in San Francisco, which exemplifies the The Honda Bay naval disaster goes to court-martial. This is well. Guilt and innocence should be determined definitely. WOMEN SERVING WELL AS JURORS When women first began to serve on juries, the pessimists and the gloomsters shook heads mournfully, as though the end of all things were about to come. But women as jurors have vindicated their capability and usefulness. Women jurors are not swayed by emotion any more than are male jurors. Here is a case, tried in San Francisco, which exemplifies the calmness of judgment of women jurors. In this case twelve women constituted the jury. A man was on trial for manslaughter, charged with running down, with his auto, a boy three years old and killing the child. The jury brought in a verdict of acquittal after deliberating a little longer than one hour. In this case the women had every incentive to be swayed by emotion. The killing of a child by an automobile naturally would stir deeply the feelings of women. But these twelve women jurors decided the case before them on the law and the evidence. Could men do any better? The eclipse of the sun, witnessed with such keen interest by those living within the path of totality, was a memorable phenomenon. It will be remembered and commented upon many years hence by those who are children now. Phenomena of this nature comes seldom. Warfare should be put in the past tense and should be kept there. A great era for Mexico is dawning, if ambitious politicians do not blight it. SONNET Ay, thou art for the grace; thy glances shine Too brightly to shine long; another Spring Shall deck her for men's eyes—but not for thine— Sealed in a sleep which knows no wakening. The fields for thee have no medicinal leaf, And the rexed ore no mineral power; And they who lore thee wait in anxious grief Till the slow plague shall bring the fatal hour. Glide softly to thy rest then; Death should come Gently to one, of gentle mould like thee. As light winds wandering through groves of bloom Detach the delicate blossom from the tree. Close thy sweet eyes, calmly, and without pain; And we will trust in God to see thee yet again. —William Cullen Bryant.

Another amusing thing in the movies is the prompt way the maid answers when her mistress rings. How did tired business men dress on Sunday before pajamas were invented? If she lives in the country and looks humbled and broken, the neighbors call her a outfitful wife. The fresh air of the sleeping porch is very enjoyable after you get your head under the covers.

HARKER The oldest college president in institution, Dr. Joseph R. Harker, the head of the Illinois Woman College at Jacksonville, Ill., has just completed thirty years that capacity. At the same time he rounded out fifty years of continuous teaching since he took charge of his school at Du Quoin the Methodist Episcopal denomination. In 1873, and also celebrating his seventieth birthday anniversary, sry. The life story of President Harker is unique. He made his way from a miner's cottage England to distinction as college builder and college president. He went to work at the age of 16 in the mines. In 1869 an old brother emigrated to America and saved more money in two years than the entire family had been able to accumulate in eighteen England. This influence decided the parents to come over, settling down at Du Quoin. Young Harker went to work in the mines, but was continually studying. He received no education in schools colleges but his knowledge amassed by application to booth during his spare time. The county superintendent of schools was so impressed by the studentess of the youth that he tendered him a position as teacher at the age of twenty. He became in demand as astructor at teachers' institute and was finally tendered a position as teacher at Whipple academy, the preparatory department of Illinois college, at Jacksonville.

Dad held in his hand the first letter from Junior, at college. "The first touch of winter," said he. We move to amend the League Covenant by inserting a clause forbidding members to get mad at one another. When an old lady steps on the street car, you wonder dismally why it is called the rising generation. "The modern woman has gone crazy about antiques." Ah, well; the younger fellows have so little money to spend. Think of the poor school boy in the Balkans, who must learn the names of all the little nations he must hate. When the milliner says, "It has such a youthful effect," she means that the price is something over $25. The chap who "can't control his temper" has never had the good fortune to press his chin against an efficient set of knuckles. The miller's daughter won't need to marry the earl while dad can buy wheat as he does and sell flour as he does. Correct this sentence: "Don't worry about your low grades. Son," consoled the father; "I know you did your best." TWO WOMEN The shadows lay along Broadway, 'Twas near the twilight tide-- And slowly there a lady fair Was walking in her pride. Alone walked she; but, viewlessly, Walked spirits by her side. Peace charmed the street beneath her feet, And honor charmed the air; And all astir looked kind on her And called her good as fair; For all God ever gave to her She kept with chary care. She kept with care her beauties rare From lovers warm and true-- For her heart was cold to all but gold, And the rich came not to woo— But honored well are charms to sell If priests the selling do. Now walking there was one more fair— A slight girl, lily-pale; And she had unseen company To make the spirit quail Twist want and scorn she walked forlorn, And nothing could avail. No mercy now can clear her brow For this world's peace to pray; For, as love's wild prayer dissolved in air, Her woman's heart gave way! But the sin forgiven by Christ in heaven By man is cursed away! —Nathaniel Willis. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER FIRST, 1923 Subscription Rate—In No. Orange co., per Yr. $8; 6 Months, $1.75.

The play is an enormous, huge and immense success. The audience howl and cry for the author, the producer and the actors. After the performance all have a merry supper. There are so many geniuses in the crowd that it must be a happy gathering. Second Night—the box office receipts are not so good; but the performance is wonderful from an artistic point of view. Third Night—It being Saturday, the house is crowded and the entire "company" have a pleasant Sunday. Fourth Night—Monday is very sad. The whole outfit weakens. There are rumors that the play will be taken on the "road". Two Weeks Later—The theater is closed. Marcel Steinbrugge. It may be treason, but our motto is "Save America First." HIGHER EDUCATION Why study physiology? And what use is biology? What good is Greek and science, for these will not lead to power. Why worry over history? Or any other mystery?
