Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The habit of looking on your neighbor's life with some such interest as you do on your own, is a key that, as long as you live, will unlock larger worlds to you continually. There may be times when you cannot find help, but there is no time when you cannot give help.—Frances P. Cobbe. GOOD HOME TRAINING IS NATION'S NEED Revive the time-honored virtues of industry, honesty and respect for the law; eliminate disrespect for law and constituted authority by proper teaching in the home—this is the adjuration of Judge Keetch of the Superior Court of Los Angeles county. Divorce is decried by this jurist as being an abettor of crime and vice. Many infractions of law can be traced to broken homes and failure of parents to instill in their children respect for law and the rights of others. The words of Judge Keetch as to prevention of crime are worthy of quotation and of serious thought by all who read them: "Looking to the future, let me say that in my opinion the solution of this great problem lies, in a great measure, with the parents and the home. Much of the crime today can be traced directly to broken homes, to the neglect of parents in the spiritual side of the home-life, and the failure to instill into the minds of their children these old-fashioned principles of industry, honesty, self-control, respect for the law and obedience to authority. Concentrate upon the child and the coming citizen, preach Americanism, raise the standard of immigration, work for assimilation of American principles and ideals as given to us by the fathers, and I believe we may hope for the future." Here is a prescription which should cure many social ills. A revival in the good influences of the home, which obtained in the golden days. The distractions of modern life are breaking down and all but eradicating this wholesome home influence. It must be restored and fostered, or mankind will suffer calamitously in morals.

The distractions of modern life are breaking down and all but eradicating this wholesome home influence. It must be restored and fostered, or mankind will suffer calamitously in morals. GIVE FARMER RELIEF OF RATIONAL NATURE "A thoroughly rational attitude" toward the relieving of un-toward conditions confronting the American farmer is urged by investigators of the War Finance Corporation. Warning is given against too much sympathy and emotion in working out ways and means to relieve agriculturists. Many of the so-called "remedies" are characterized as being more hurtful than the ailment. That which is required is a sound economic solution which would be permanent. This is very sensible. Too much maudlin emotionalism has been thrust into discussion of the relieving of the farmer. The aid he needs is rational and business-like. He should not be made the victim of emotionalism or of political or class exploitation. What one thinks and desires is reflected in what one does. And what one does reflects what one is.

And somehow, with that little prayer And that sweet treble in my cars, My thoughts go back to distant years And linger with a loved one there; And as I hear my child's amen, My mother's faith come back to me— Crouched at her side I seem to be, And mother holds my hands again. Oh, for an hour in that dear place! Oh, for the peace of that dear time! Oh, for that childish trust sublime! Oh, for a glimpse of mother's face! Yet, as the shadows round me creep, I do not seem to be alone— Sweet magic of that treble tone, And "Now I lay me down to sleep." —Eugene Field. MY GARDEN A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!

There was a certain bit which he decided must go up, but which was too small to suspend from the rail. He thereupon got a substantial nail and hammered it into the wall. There came a knock at the door. "It's our neighbor," said the wife. "Your hammering has disturbed him." When the door was opened Mr. Jenkinton immediately began to apologize. "Oh, that's all right," said the neighbor, cheerily. "I only came to ask if I might hang a picture nail." "Why is Jinks so sad?" one male gossip asked of another who knew the subject of the inquiry, reports Judge. "Reason enough, I should say. He was in the park this morning, and saw a woman going into a faint. He nearly caught her in his arms, and—" "Was robbed by her, eh? Old stuff, that." "You're wrong, old man. Not that sort of a case.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING TIDAL WAVE OF BUSINESS—(San Francisco Journal) A study of the financial page will reveal many encouraging signs of good business. Again the old reliable commercial barometer, the steel market, gets into action. The favorable annual report made the last of October by the Steel Corporation showing largely increased earnings has had a most beneficial effect upon the market for steel shares, and this reaction has had the usual tendency to carry other things upward. There is a special reason for this which lies at the bottom of the tendency of the market to look to steel for guidance. Steel is an important and elemental commodity that does not fluctuate in value with every change of the wind. Only those factors that profoundly affect the business of the country influence very greatly the price of steel. This commodity represents a current in business that flows deeply and responds only to powerful influences. When conditions are such as to justify the steel business in pronouncing them all right, the smaller craft sail ahead with renewed courage. When steel pulls in sail it is time for other craft to seek the shelter of a friendly port. Closely allied to the steel business is the automobile industry. In fact, these two great enterprises vie with each other in the rivalry for size. Together with the railroads and the mines they represent the world's largest units of industry. In all of these the same story of assured prosperity may be read. The Ford Motor Company had the largest output in October of any month in its history, totaling 42,271 cars and trucks. This would indicate an output of well over half a million a year. This record-breaking sale of Ford cars is only an index of what is happening in the rest of the motor world. The present reported caution in the production of moving pictures is a condition wholly local to that industry and seems to have no reference to the general condition of business. A season spent in the rest cure is all the movies need to put them right again. The movie people, both actors and producers, have been making money too fast, and, like the case of oil millionaires, it has not been good for them. Now the exhibitors may get some relief. When things get into that condition the best thing that can happen is a little rest. CAPITAL ATTRACTED TO MEXICO—Redlands Facts Since the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico, the Southern Republic again is attracting the attention of American capital, particularly in Southern California. Potentially one of the richest nations in the world, the numerous revolutions which have rocked Mexico, and the unfavorable legislation directed against foreign capital have discouraged investment by Americans in that country. Mexico now apparently has experienced a CAPITAL ATTRACTED TO MEXICO—Redlands Facts Since the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico, the Southern Republic again is attracting the attention of American capital, particularly in Southern California. Potentially one of the richest nations in the world, the numerous revolutions which have rocked Mexico, and the unfavorable legislation directed against foreign capital have discouraged investment by Americans in that country. Mexico now apparently has experienced a change of heart. With the Obregon government firmly entrenched and desirous of restoring the credit of the nation, the outlook for the future is bright. Under an agreement with American financiers, a program has been arranged by which arrears will be paid on all bonds which are in default, and the discriminatory legislation rendered ineffective. This action on the part of Mexico, if carried out as arranged, will firmly re-establish the Southern Republic among the nations entitled to credit, and will mean a revival of trade on a more even basis with other countries. Even under handicaps which existed prior to our recognition of Mexico, for the fiscal year just ended, we bought from that country commodities valued at $135,000,000, and exported goods valued at $114,000,000. With mutual confidence again restored, this trade may be expected to increase greatly. Mexico is a natural market for American goods. Her oil and mineral resources are among the richest in the world. With protection of investments by the federal government, American capital will be plentiful for all legitimate development which will be a big factor in enabling Mexico to carry out her financial rehabilitation.
