Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS WHAT IS IT NOT, THIS YEARNING FOR KNOWLEDGE, THIS HUNGER FOR THE PERFECT, THIS REACHING OUT TOWARD THE ILLIMITABLE, THIS CAPACITY TO LOVE, TO SUFFER TO RENOUNCE TO BELIEVE, TO KNOW, TO ASPIRE, AND TO STRIVE UPWARD TOWARD THE ASPIRATION? ALL THIS MAY BE SHUT IN ONE WEARY FRAME—MARRY CLEMMER AMES. CONFERENCE IS ASSURED ON REPARATIONS The way is clear for the holding of an international conference on German reparations, with the United States participating. The British government has made concessions to the reservations insisted upon by Premier Poincaré of France. The whole subject of reparations cleoms is to be gone into thoroughly, and the ability of Germany to pay is to be adjudged by financial experts of world-wide fame. It is even hinted in London dispatches that an American expert may head the committee which is to determine the measure of Germany's ability to pay. There seems to be good ground for hope and expectation that the vexing problem of reparations may be brought to solution, and this without the United States being drawn into the political turmoil which plagues Europe. It should be possible for this country to participate in the conference without involving itself in the domestic controversies of Europe which savor of politics. To settle the reparations question would be a boon to Europe and to the world. If the United States can hasten this settlement and help to rescue Europe from the desperate economic plight in which it welters, well and good. The sound judgment of American statesmanship, fortified by the will of the people which is against any and all foreign political stanglements, should mark the way for American participation in this reparations conference without involving domestic affairs of Europe. The lure of California, to the tourist and sightseeer, will last for ages. This state always will be easily accessible from the far corners of the earth. It always will be pre-eminent for climate and To settle the reparations question would be a boon to Europe and to the world.

The sound judgment of American statesmanship, fortified by the will of the people which is against any and all foreign political tanglements, should mark the way for American participation in this reparations conference without involving domestic affairs of Europe. The turf of California, to the tourist and sightseer, will last for ages. This state always will be easily accessible from the far corners of the earth. It always will be preeminent for climate and scenic beauty and grandeur. It has assets which are God-given, and as enduring as the everlasting hills. One of the bright, attractive features of life in California is the girthy of festivals, one or more times yearly, in several cities and towns. Some of these have become known throughout the world, notably the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. Some of these fetes are held in mid-winter, in the open, when colder climes are locked in ice and blanketed with snow. The mildness of California climate is stressed by these mid-winter outdoor festivities. The United States navy is the foremost reliance of the nation for armed defense. Should this country unavoidably be drawn into armed conflict, the navy would be its first and vital line of defense. It behooves the country, therefore, to keep its navy as it is, in a high state of efficiency. Even though there be reduction of naval armament, as provided for in the arms conference agreements, the armament that is retained should be kept up in quality. All the United States wants is security. All it seeks is to be protected adequately.

The wets need not despair. Some of the other amendments died a natural death. The hunting season for small game is open now, but Leap Year doesn't begin until Jan. 1. When a great European says he is coming over incognito, he means that he isn't going to hire a hall. Just because Italy is shaped like a boot, Mussolini mustn't get the notion that nobody will lick it. Another reason for divorce, we surmise, is a dish of cereal and a vase of flowers on the modern breakfast table. Nothing else so encourages swell head as the privilege of showing off before a wife who hasn't much sense. The reason a few people "run the church" is because nobody else is willing to do so much work for nothing.

Experience is a great teacher, but she must git awfully discouraged. TIMELY VIEWS "Separatist Movement in Germany Will Not Stand," Says German Ambassador. "The Separatist movement in Germany will not stand. The Stresemann government is in no immediate danger of falling." These are the views of Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, German ambassador to the U.S., expressed since his return from his native land recently. "That there is much unrest now all over Germany," he continued, "is not astonishing. It is the natural consequence of the Versailles treaty, of which there has been no equal in the world's history." The German people feel strongly what must happen during the coming winter and shudder like a sick man in fever. "This year's harvest has been one month later than usual in Germany because the summer was very cold and wet. Although the crop has, therefore, to feed the people for eleven months up to the next harvest and although the quantity of this year's crop in grain exceeds the bad harvest of last year Germany has to import grain for at least one month and a half. "There is grown food enough in the world to prevent death by hunger, but the great difficulty or Germany is how to finance this import. The question is how to induce the German farmer to deliver his grain if there is no real money to pay for it. The new German government is trying hard to create a new and better stabilized currency, as you all know. When I left Germany..." Nothing else so encourages swell head as the privilege of showing off before a wife who hasn't much sense. The reason a few people "run the church" is because nobody else is willing to do so much work for nothing. A Detroit scientist says reekless drivers are feeble-minded, and we had no idea idiocy was so nearly universal. Pathos and humor are much the same. It all depends on whether the sore thumb is on your hand or the other fellow's. Any man can feel important when dressed in glad raiment, but only the great can feel that way while looking sloppy. Matrimony has its little drawbacks, but it offers people a unique opportunity to get acquainted with one another. When old Dobbin went whizzing by, he was feeling his oats. When a modern driver goes whizzing by, he is feeling his rye. If you could sell oil stock to every man of your acquaintance, that's reputation; if you don't do it, that's character. As we understand the economists, the cost of living will not become less until there is some falling off in the demand. The Turks don't yet know what a real republic is. Wait until their legislators begin to think up new sources of revenue. Nothing works out right. By the time a car begins to run good it is looking rather shabby and no longer impresses the neighbors.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING LOSS OF KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN FELT KEENLY Riverside (Calif.) Press In the death of Kate Douglas Wiggin, American childhood has lost one of its most sympathetic interpreters. As one of the founders of the California Kindergarten Training School she helped establish more than 60 kindergartens in the Far West. It was through this work that she acquired much of the material she used so delightfully in later years. She had published several slight works without thought of giving up teaching when suddenly "The Birds" Christmas Carol" jumped into fame, making thousands laugh through tears. "Mother Carey's Chickens" became a best seller, but was of much less literary value than her other work; "Timothy's Guest" for "a home without a capital H" and its fulfillment showed a better craftsmanship, while maintaining the keen human appeal, and in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" the author reached her highest mark. A 12-year-old girl the other day made this appeal to her mother: "I don't see why the library lady won't let me draw from the grown-up section." "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" is in both the children's and grown-up sections. I should think that proves it doesn't make any difference." "It only proves that a few books are fine enough to be loved, both by old and young," replied the mother. This, perhaps, is the true tribute. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT AN EASY JOB I heard some readers loudly muse As they my daily work peruse, "I wonder who the guy can be Who writes such rotten poetry. He surely has an easy ojb, He doesn't have to use his knob. The stuff he writes is so darn cheap That it will make a monkey weep." Ah, sad indeed is my poor lot To hear the talk I merit not, For I have spent a lot of time In grinding out a lot of rhyme In hopes that some of it might show Me how to make a little dough. And oft I've lain wake at night, To think of something I could write. I heard some readers loudly muse As they my daily work peruse, "I wonder who the guy can be Who writes such rotten poetry. He surely has an easy ojb, He doesn't have to use his knob. The stuff he writes is so darn cheap That it will make a monkey-weep." Ah, sad indeed is my poor lot To hear the talk I merit not, For I have spent a lot of time In grinding out a lot of rhyme In hopes that some of it might show Me how to make a little dough... And oft I've lain wake at night, To think of something I could write. And even this, though not a gem, Has kept me up past 1:00 a.m. —William Sunners. The present slogan is: "If telephones interfere with your business, hire a secretary." A secretary is able to say that her employer is out to lunch from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. without batting an eye. If you have called for him on the phone every hour all day and find that he has been "out to lunch" every time, and mention casually that you think he must have a terrific appetite, she will tell you in her best movie English that her employer's appetite makes no difference in her young life, and there you are. FINANCIAL NOTE These are not like The good old days Of greenback and Shinnplaster. A dollar does Not go so far, But it goes a Darn sight faster. OUR OWN DAILY SHORT STORY Where There's a Will "Before I married," said the middle-aged man, "I was terribly extravagant. I went to theaters and dances, smoked cigars and drank champagne. But now—well, I live a quiet life at home, smoke shag and drink water." "What a strong will it must need to change like that," said the young bachelor. "She has a very strong will," replied the married man. THE MELANCHOLY TIME The banquet season's here once more. Trot out the good old gags. It is our chief delight to roar At after-dinner wags.

Fling forth upon the banquet breeze The tale of Pat and Mike. So spread the jokes with lavish tongue, And broadcast them galore. We'll laugh just like when we were young; We've heard them all before.
