Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS You never miss an opportunity of giving innocent pleasure, or helping another soul on the path to God, but you are taking away from yourselves forever what might have been a happy memory, and leaving in its place pain or remorse. —Frances P. Cobbe BUYING HOMES IS GREAT FEATURE IN REALTY Buying homes is the order of the day with great numbers here in Southern California. Ambition to own a home is quite contagious. Many want to escape paying rent. Many families have saved up a few hundred dollars and there is a grand rush of this class to realty dealers to find a home place on easy terms. Lots, too, are being purchased in great numbers, with view to build now or later. This impulse to buy or to build homes is strong here in Southern California. Thanks to the accommodating terms upon which houses and lots may be bought, acquiring a home or a homesite does not require a great sum. Liberal methods of financing the building of homes on clear lots gives stimulus to the construction of new homes. To the thoughtful citizen, this extensive buying of homes and establishing of ownership among the people, is exceedingly gratifying. It betokens a contented people. It assures deep and abiding love of and loyalty to this state on the part of each and every owner of a home. Where the owned home is, there, usually, the affections of the family center and abide. Owning of homes should be encouraged. It makes for security of the state and Nation. It makes for peace and respect for law. It promotes economic welfare. It adds immeasurably to the happiness and well-being of the people. There is no merit to criticism which does not suggest something constructive as a betterment of that which is criticised. and loyalty to this state on the part of each and every owner of a home.

FLOURISHING STATUS, ALL OVER LAND Prosperity prevails in all the great industries. This is according to reports to the Federal Reserve Board, covering the period of the last six weeks. During this period wholesale trade, throughout the country, was the largest in these years. Retail trade increased 9 per cent as compared with one year ago. Employment is maintained on the same high level that has prevailed for several months. There is nothing in these reports, covering the whole economic system of the country, to create apprehension or to inspire pessimism. Activities are healthy, and indications point to continuance of thriving conditions for an indefinite period. Railroads are carrying heavy shipments of crops and commodities. Business is running at high tide. The people have money and are spending generously. Bribery, to evade law or to obtain unlawful favor, is a crime which is especially obnoxious and reprehensible. Political action should be based upon a mature thought. Passion and prejudice should not rule in politics. NOTE that the modern Golden State creameries are located in the heart of the best dairying districts. ~another reason why Golden State is uniformly the best It does make a difference where the butter you serve on your table is made. It does matter whether the brand you buy ~another reason why Golden State is uniformly the best It does make a difference where the butter you serve on your table is made. It does matter whether the brand you buy is churned and packed in the same modern, sanitary creameries, year in and year out—or simply "picked up" from miscellaneous sources. It matters because butter is perhaps the most important item of food that you serve—the one most likely to affect your own and your children's health—the one food which you particularly want to be able to depend upon. For 17 years Golden State has set the standard of butter quality. It is dependable because it is made from finest selected, pasteurized cream; —because it is churned and packed in our spotless, modern, well-equipped creameries, located in the heart of the best dairying districts; —because its purity is safeguarded by the most exacting tests; —because it has a quality reputation to maintain. Order from your grocer. You'll find it pays to insist. Golden State THE HIGH SCORE★ BUTTER The "score" is the expert's gauge of butter quality. It is a fact that Golden State averages from 3 to 5 points higher than other Southern California brands.

LOOTING GERMAN BREAD 140.000.000 MARKS PER LOAF FOOD REVOLUTION BLOODSIED RIOTING READ RIOTS PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN Civilization is just a slow process of getting rid of our prejudices. High blood pressure is a sign that you must never try to help little Willie with his lessons. Modesty at times is just a conceited man's subtle way of calling attention to how good he is. A well-raised child is one that is too polite to tell its parents what it really thinks of them. The man who knows it all does not known one thing. He doesn't know how he tends to encourage homicide. The old-fashioned buggy was slow, but you could hug the driver without flirting with the undertaker. A banana peel is not without virtue. We saw a pompous citizen slip on one and make a poor, tired mail carrier laugh. Some men get a college education, and some go through life without even knowing what a forward pass is. The difference between character and reputation is that one depends on the heart and the other on tongues. With so many clans and leagues and blocs, about the only thing American people now have in common is golf. After all, the only real objection to the Volstead law is that... Some men get a college education, and some go through life without even knowing what a forward pass is. The difference between character and reputation is that one depends on the heart and the other on tongues. With so many clans and leagues and blocs, about the only thing American people now have in common is golf. After all, the only real objection to the Volstead law is that it makes it more difficult to get a drink. Inhaling deeply in the early morning is practiced by the modern girl, also; but she does it through a cigaret. No doubt the Filipino wonders dismally at times if independence consists in belonging to an independent country. The great, who once split rails, are a thing of the past, but apparently those who split infinitives will be with us always. Still, the old-fashioned preacher who talked theology was just as nearly inspired as the new one who talks geology. There is no truth in the story that a conference of governors will be called to help enforce the 14th and 15th amendments. There are lots of us who don't like mayonnaise dressing, but we haven't yet organized to persecute the mayonnaise eaters. Next to the smallest thing in the world is an electron. The smallest is the man who says he might have succeeded, except for his wife. Correct this sentence: "If I were a woman," declared the man. "I would wish to have at least forty taxis and trucks, all because a trusting creature stepped bravely out in front of their wheels regardless of signals and walked leisurely across. It wasn't a bold man, either—just a small maltese cat, carrying a kitten in her mouth. Virtually, every passerby stopped, too, to watch her to safety. But she never was in danger. Every car had stopped when she first did to the pavement and not a wheel turned until she was safe on the opposite sidewalk." WEDNESDAY, NOV.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING "FAVORITE SON" CANDIDATE—San Bernardino Sun Probably there will be "favorite son" candidates at the Republican National Convention. It might well be that Pennsylvania will cast its 76 votes for Governor Pinchot. It is said that Senator Wadsworth hopes to have the complimentary vote of the 90 New York delegates, just as Lowden wants the 54 from Illinois, while Ohio, mother and grandmother of Presidents, is blest with two potential candidates in Senator Simeon D. Fess and Senator Frank B. Willis. Not only so, but Kansas friends of Senator Charles Curtis think he is of presidential size. It recalls the jibe of Senator Moses of New Hampshire, who said every member of the Senate except himself is a candidate for the presidency, although it is easy to imagine a situation where none of these names will be mentioned, and the nomination of Coolidge will be by acclamation. We suspect it will be with some such idea that friends of Senator Johnson will ask that a delegation at least friendly to him may be named by the California Republicans, leaving the absolute determination of policy to the future. For all he said in Omaha, Mr. Coolidge may do something between now and convention time that will make it useless for any one to run against him. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT THE SACRIFICE She gave up mutton, pork and beef; She gave up ades and teas; She gave up milk without relief; She gave up beans and peas; She gave up fruits and spuds and jams; She gave up bread and toast; She gave up herring, shrimp and clams; She most gave up the ghost; She gave up powder, rouge and men; She gave up baths and soap; And when she weighed herself again; She wept and gave up hope. The champ optimist is the man who goes and buys two expensive seats because he has read a favorable criticism of the play in the newspapers.
