EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Men feel and know that pain is a fact, although it is unseen; they need to learn that peace of mind is a fact, and comes by a well-ordered soul; that reverence is a fact, that brings us near to God.—Thomas Starr King. THRIVING CONTINUES ALL OVER LAND Prosperity abounds in every section of the United States. In the wheat belt of the Middle West and in the textile industries in New England are the only dark spots on the nation's economic map. And those are not hopelessly black. The Pacific Coast is the whitest of all the white regions on the map of economic flourishing. This section is in the midst of unexamined constructive progress. The great Mississippi Basin is thriving, except as to wheat prices. Other farm products, however, are yielding well and offsetting in large measure, the potential losses on wheat. All the great industrial centers of the East, the Mid-west and the South—except textiles in Massachusetts—are on the crest wave of a high tide of prosperity. That this flourishing will continue generally, and for an indefinite period, is probable. There are no economic storm clouds in sight. The country is not in the foreshadowing of "hard times." Some of the less optimistic seem to fear a general halting and economic recession in 1924, because it brings a national political campaign. But national politics no longer is the bugaboo it once was. The people have grown more intelligent. They realize that influence of political policies upon economies in general is not so potent and menacing as many have believed. Knowing these things, the people are in no mood to precipitate an era of doubt and depression. Santa Claus is doing a great deal of early shopping. TESTS WHICH GAUGE THE SUCCESSFUL CITY The "psalm-singing habit on Sunday" will not save a town, if this religious fervor is not carried further into the daily life of the community. This is the sentiment of William Allen White, noted editor and publisher. Mr. White writes night tests by which a town Santa Claus is doing a great deal of early shopping. TESTS WHICH GAUGE THE SUCCESSFUL CITY The "psalm singing habit on Sunday" will not save a town, if this religious fervor is not carried further into the daily life of the community. This is the sentiment of William Allen White, noted editor and publicist. Mr. White cites eight tests by which a town or city may guage success and worth. They are: "How do you care for your children with schools. How do you care for your youth with recreation and amusement? How do you care for the inevitable residuum of poor? How do you provide for public sanitation, What are you doing to prevent the spread of contagious diseases? How many books are there in your public library, and how often are they read? Are life and property safe in your streets?" These are fair practical tests. Each and every town and city should be able and willing to meet them squarely. Caring for youth—looking after their moral, mental and physical welfare—is one of the highest, most solemn obligations of a municipality. And provision for those out of work and in distress should be generously adequate. Sanitation and the conservation of public health are imperative duties of the municipality. Providing abundance of good reading, in public libraries, and inducing the people to read much—these should engage the attention of the municipality. And there should be effectual protection of life and property against criminality. California has cities which measure up well in these tests. Cultivate self-dependence. This enhances one's self-respect. OLD AGE The seas are quiet when the winds give o'er; So calm are we when passions are no more, For then we know how vain is to boast. Of fleeting things, so certain to be lost. Clouds of affection from our younger eyes Conceal that emptiness which age decries. The soul's dark cottage, batter'd and decop'd, Lets in new light through chinks that Time has made; Stronger by weakness, wiser men become As they draw near to their eternal home. Leaving the old, both worlds at once they view That stand upon the threshold of the new. —Edmund Waller. FREE LECTURE THE LIFE HISTORY OF OUR REDEEMER By C. W.

Th' reason lots o' men are never seen with their wives is 'cause they hate t' hang around till they dress. Kathryn, aged four, was enjoying her first big trip with her parents, states Judge. After traveling by automobile, train and boat, they arrived on a Sunday at Mackinaw Island. Her parents decided to go to the little, white Mission Church to rest and meditate. Kathryn was restless and fidgety. The minister mounted the steps of the pulpit, then stood lost in thought for a moment, as he looked over the waiting congregation. A small, impatient voice broke the deathlike silence with this question: "Mother what's the matter with SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F.

People may forget the wicked invasion of Belgium, but they never will forget that they purchased German marks. Another good endurance test is looking in the dictionary to find a word you don't know how to spell. The most loyal husband is the one whose vanity delights in the conviction that his wife is foolish about him. A man is old when he can't think of anything more exciting to do between supper and bedtime than to take a nap. When a Filipino feels an itch to exploit his country without interference by Uncle Sam, he calls himself a patriot. Germany is hard to please. Once she kicked because she was being held up, and now she kicks because she is being held down. Correct this sentence: "Lie still, Dear," said the husband; "I'll get up and give him a drink."

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying GOVERNMENT PATERNALISM ABUSED—Previdence Journal Farmers whose operations are not limited to wheat are objecting to the plan for guaranteeing the wheat producers $1.50 a bushel for a crop of which cannot be sold in the market. A Georgia cotton planter, for example, takes the ground that if the wheat farmers of the northwest are to have their losses made good by levies upon the United States Treasury the paternalistic government should do something for the cotton farmers whose crops have been damaged by the boll weevil to the amount of many millions. The Georgia man asserts that the market price of his cotton is about one-fourth the cost of production, therefore he does not see why the government should not offer him a substantial guarantee. There is logic in the plea if it is conceded that the government ought to pay more than the market quotations for wheat which the world cannot use. But why restrict government aid to the wheat and cotton farmers? Taxes are levied against all classes of people, and if favors are to be distributed why should there be any favorites? If the potato crop of Maine is a failure or if it is so large that the potatoes cannot be sold, Congress is under as much obligation to help the grower as either the wheat or the cotton producer. If a manufacturer has more cloth or machinery than he can sell, let him apply to Congress for an appropriation; if a man says that he cannot find work, the wheat precedent justifies him in suggesting that the government pay him his regular rate of wages as long as no one offers him a job to his liking. There is no limit on what the government can be asked to do for the benefit of the people who have hard luck stories to tell. The wheat farmer is only the first one on the list of those eligible for government donations. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT A THANKSGIVING DINNER The succulent oyster was present, surrounded by sauce that was nice; It came to the table so tasty, and lay on a cool bed of ice. The broth then held our attention, twas chicken with noodles and peas, Accompanied by crisp salted crackers, and spread to the rim with soft cheese. Green olives, salé almonds and celery, plump raisins and cranberry sauce, Were all put aside on the table, and proved to be just a side course. At last came the big turkey gobbler that was done to a turn that was right; And with it came glazed sweet potatoes, and roasted potatoes of white; And then came the sweet apple cider, the mince pie, and pumpkin pie, too. I guess that was enough for a dinner, so hereby the menu is through. —Dorothy V. Strauss. MEMORIES OF THE PALEZOIC AGE In 1898 gasoline sold for 6c a gallon.

In 1896 Barnum and Bailey announced that they would exhibit throughout the country a "horseless vehicle." Winslow E. Buzby was arrested October 31, 1899, for endeavoring to drive a horseless carriage in Central Park, New York. Seven and one-half miles an hour was the dizzy speed attained by the winning machine in the first automobile race. In April, 1900, a large automobile company announced that they were manufacturing automobiles at the rate of almost two a day. In 1902 seventy-one substitutes for gasoline were invented, but not one of them would work. Dunbar's Shrimps Small 17½c Can Chaffees WHERE CASH BEATS CREDIT Eastern Buckwheat Lb. 7½c MAPLE SYRUP.
