Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS LIFE IS MADE UP, NOT OF GREAT SACRIFICES OR DUTIES, BUT OF LITTLE THINGS, IN WHICH SMILES AND KINDNESS, AND SMALL OBLIGATIONS, GIVEN HABITUALLY, ARE WHAT WIN AND PRESERVE THE HEART, AND SECURE COMFORT—Sir Humphry Davy. OBSERVE GOLDEN RULE TO AID HUNGRY Put down on your calendar a memo. for Sunday, Dec. 2. That is designated "Golden Rule Sunday." The American people are urged to forego dinner on that day—to fast one meal, and to contribute the cost of this one meal toward relieving the hunger of the parentless refugee children of Greece, Armenia, Syria, and Palestine. President Coolidge approves this "Golden Rule Sunday" plan. Fourteen nations of Europe will co-operate in the project to relieve the acute distress. Surely, in this land of superlative abundance—in this land of overeating, on Sunday, Dec. 2, just three days after bounteous Thanksgiving feasts, the people can give up one meal and give the cost of that meal to provide food for boys and girls who have naught to eat, except what philanthropy gives them. It would be a good thing for every American to observe this one-meal fast for selfish reasons, if no other. For it would promote good health. Americans, as a rule, overeat. A one-meal fast, one or more days a week—better still, the elimination of one meal every day—would be conducive to health and longevity. It would be a good thing, therefore, for Americans, in the extreme of their plentitude, to forego a meal and to give toward feeding boys and girls in the extreme of destitution. So long as this country cherishes the memory of its great men and women, so long is it safe in its ideals. Ambassador Herrick, in his speech in France, seems to have spoken rather from his heart than his head. RECLAIM DELINQUENTS BY MORAL RECLAIM DELINQUENTS BY MORAL TRAINING They are making experiments in "human engineering" in Detroit. It was in America's automobile industry that the pathfinders of America originated. Its purpose is to reclaim deficient boys and girls, young men and young women. There is organized training in moral living—in principles and methods of life. The work is undenominational, and teaches no system of religion. Where training is given to school children, the work is done among those in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. This movement has been successful and is expanding and taking on national scope. The greatest tragedies of the age result from lack of moral grounding in the individual. Put the individual on proper moral footing when he or she is young, and the work of redemption of the human race from crime and vice is well under way. "Human engineering," they call it. Quite apt is the phrase. Engineering it is, indeed. It is putting lives on the right track and disciplining minds and hearts to do their own engineering and to keep themselves on the right track and under proper control. Lack of training in self-engineering has sent many a boy and girl to ruin. There is no training more important than that which sets the feet of youth upon the right moral pathways. The Golden Rule never should grow rusty from disuse. Our astute statesmen continue to flock to Europe to find out what America needs. Prosperity must have returned to Turkey with a vengeance. There is a movement on foot to re-establish harems there. SETS AND SUPPLIES RADIO ROBT. V. JENSEN 212 E. Center St. Everyone in Anaheim knows—they are here! What?

But a woman is like an egg; she is good or she isn't. It is estimated that there are 327 languages and dialects spoken in New York, including American. Rouged cheeks and powdered faces are rather attractive if you don't notice the yellow neck beneath. The difference between matrimony and divorce is that they get well acquainted before they get a divorce. Our amateur opinion is that two additional brakes on the car won't give it any advantage over a locomotive. Laziness is the quality that makes a husband think the drying of dishes an undignified task for a man. Scientists say men now live 51 years longer than the ancients lived. Apparently in spite of all they can do. The chief difference between nice people and disagreeable people is that the disagreeable people don't like you. The Court of St. James may not miss Harvey so much, but his resignation will be an awful blow to paragraphers. If the rich voluntarily quit drinking to keep from offending the poor, let's ask them to stop Ab POEMS THAT LIVE SCORNED The callow young were hudling in the nests, The marigold was burning in the marsh, Like a thing dipped in sunset, when he came. My blood went up to meet him on my face, Glad as a child that hears its father's step And runs to meet him at the open porch. I gave him all my being, like a flower That flings its perfume on a vagrant breeze. A breeze that wanders on and heeds it not His scorn is lying on my heart like snow. My eyes are weary, and I fain would sleep; The quietest sleep is underneath the ground. Are ye around me, friends? I cannot see, I cannot hear the voices that I love, I lift my hands to you from out the night! Me thought I left a tear upon my cheek. Weep not, my mother! It is time to rest, And I am very weary; so, goodnight! —Alexander Smith. Scientists say men now live 21 years longer than the ancients lived. Apparently in spite of all they can do. The chief difference between nice people and disagreeable people is that the disagreeable people don't like you. The Court of St. James may not miss Harvey so much, but his resignation will be an awful blow to paragraphers. If the rich voluntarily quit drinking to keep from offending the poor, let's ask them to stop making so much money. E'en though modesty persuaded Eve to don clothes, she doubtless studied the effect in the mirror of some placid lake. When daughter says there is nothing in the paper today, she means there is nothing in it about the Prince of Wales. The man who didn't know the gun was loaded is survived by a son who didn't know the driver of the other car was loaded. Hootch is more easily obtained in great cities, showing that nature works always to relieve congestion of population. Cars and songs have this in common; they get out of control if you release your clutch and then put the brakes on tight. I cannot hear the voices that I love, I lift my hands to you from out the night! Me thought I left a tear up on my cheek. Weep not, my mother! It is time to rest, And I am very weary; so, goodnight! —Alexander Smith. FOR MUSIC There be none of Beauty's daughters With a magic like thee; And like music on the waters Is thy sweet voice to me. When, as if its sound were causing The charmed ocean's pausing, The waves lie still and gleaming, And the lull'd winds seem dreaming; And the midnight moon is weaving Her bright chain o'er the deep, Whose breast is gently heaving As an infant's asleep. So the spirit bows before thee To listen and adore thee; With a full but soft emotion, Like the swell of Summer's ocean. —Lord Byron From Buner Hill to Shiloh-d then to CHATEU THIERRY Gloriously they arched, those men in whom wilt the spirit that to CHATEU THIERRY Gloriously they arched, those men in whom w the spirit that founded a nation saved a nation and then saved thworld.

It was midday in the White House—the reporters all were there—and Cal., the conversationalist, brooded in his chair. Said one brave lad: "Will you bring up that world court thing again?" Cal. glanced out of the window and he sighed: "It looks like rain." One asked: "Are you a candidate? There's gossip to and fro. A dozen other candidates would give a lot to know. Would you like to succeed yourself? Have you doped out the ways? Cal. said: "It seems to get dark early on these chill October days." "Have you no word to say?" asked one to whom the job was new, And who had been sent there to get a snappy interview. "Oh, yes," said Cal. "I'll talk a bit. I guess 'twill do no harm. I'll tell you of my early days on Dad's old hillside farm." They are putting four-wheel brakes on automobiles now, but Ford is running his political machine without any at all. Philadelphia school boys are being taught to mend their own clothes, but when they grow up they'll find some other good excuse for marrying. A preacher says courting in New York is done "on the fly," which certainly shows how terrible the congestion of our great cities is becoming. Historians tell us that the modern man is much more active than his ancestors. He has to be or starve to death. It is pretty safe to say to the average reformer: "Doctor, heal thyself."
