Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS How would sorrow be soothed and softened, if the Comforter instead of being an occasional guest, dwell in our hearts and homes—an abiding, real presence? If the beautiful fruits of the Spirit were manifest there, we should have constant foretastes of heaven.—Christian at Work. ACREAGE IS REDUCED IN WINTER WHEAT The farmers of the wheat belt are heeding the advice of agricultural experts. They have planted a greatly reduced acreage to winter wheat. The total acreage reported planted is slightly in excess of 40,000,000. This is a reduction of more than 5,750,000 acres as compared with last year's planting. The presumption is that the acreage which is not sown to wheat will be planted to other crops next year. Diversification, in other words, is to become the policy of the wheat farmer. And in diversification he will find the key to equalizing his returns. The diverse crops are sure to be more remunerative. For suppose wheat is down in price below the level of profit for the grower. If he has a goodly yield of some other crop which is not down in price, his returns will be elevated to the plane of net profits. This is the pathway to profits for the agriculturist. Diversification of crops will not cure all ills to which husbandmen are subject, but it will have excellent effect in toning up farm receipts. The religion that does not impel its devotees to sincere good works is not much of a religion. If the horrible lessons of the world war are heeded, as they should be, there never will be a "next war." Haven't seen a man yet who looked like he was running away from a Leap Year proposal.

A lockless canal through the Isthmus of Panama may be a necessity ere long. Once its imperative need is established, a great waterway of this kind will be constructed. If General Butler, by his rigorous methods, succeeds in cleaning up Philadelphia, and if the cleansing work can be maintained, there will be an object-less which should be—and doubtless would be—emulated by other large cities.

TURES Except Sunday and Publisher Plain Dealer NOW MAYBE THEY CAN MAKE UP TIME LEGISLATIVE ACTION BONUS SIDE TRACK TAX REDUCTION FIGHT OF PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) The trouble about conquering the air is that man must keep on doing it. Even a weak and foolish cause may triumph. All it needs is more statistics. Allies are not a unique phenomenon. Relatives hate one another that way, also. Americans have little in common, except the ambition to run a filling station. The thing that makes war inevitable is the conviction that war is inevitable. The villager has no grave problems except that of finding somebody to do the washing. The man who first said, "A rolling stone gathers no moss," doubtless had been fooling with one that had little black dots on its six sides. You can't tell by the uncton in a beggar's thanks how many houses he has rented out. An honest man is one who confesses that he still desires the things he was deuled as a boy. Many of our early settlers came from France, but there are no early settlers over there now. The path of glory leads but to the grave, but it detours to take in the taxpayer's pocket. ABE MARTIN Nothin' comes t' him that waits but penniless old age, an' he's got t' be careful where he stands or he'll loose out on that. A purty complexion is a dandy decoy, but we've got t' have a way about us t' live happy ever afterwards.

But they have every reason to fear the harm that may come from within, consequences of neglect of religious and cultural institutions. These were points in the message Lewis Marshall of New York recognized as one of the leading Jews of the world, delivered in a recent address. Looking forward he saw future corruption of the race if American Jews of the present generation continue to be indifferent toward promulgating Hebrew learning, history and the training of rabbis, communal and educational instructors. "We must educate a body of rabbis and teachers spiritually endowed and mentally equipped for the great work that needs to be done," he said. "Our young born and educated in this country insist on English speaking rabbis. Members of the rabbinate coming here from abroad cannot reach our youth; because they do not understand their psychology." "Unless we are willing to alienate our young people, unless we are willing to make them agnostic or atheists, then the time has come for the Jews of America to preserve the institution which is best calculated to foster Judaism." round 'em up. I think they're as bad as he is." A friend of ours from up Turonto way tells this one: "A Scot from Peebles emigrated to You can't tell by the unction in a beggar's thanks how many houses he has rented out. An honest man is one who confesses that he still desires the things he was denied as a boy. Many of our early settlers came from France, but there are no early settlers over there now. The path of glory leads but to the grave, but it detours to take in the taxpayer's pocket. A free country is one in which you can't tell millionaires from clerks on Saturday night. There are enough crises on hand to worry us to death if they hadn't lost interest in them. A philosopher is one who can drive his jit patiently behind a street car for seven blocks and reflect calmly that all life is like that. Boredom wasn't invented until man learned how to live by the sweat of his brother's brow. A provincial is a man who thinks the hinterland extends in each direction from where he stands. FOR FATHER'S COUGH January is usually one of the coldest months, and brings its share of coughs, colds, and hoarseness. Take FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND at the first sign of a cough or cold, as it loosens the phlegm and quickly brings relief to the inflamed membranes of the throat. "Your HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND has done wonders for my father, who had an awful cough. He is felling fine now," writes Nicolass Gonzales, Cuero, Texas. Sold at Heying's Pharmacy.

"Ye're charged with being' drunk and disorderly" snapped the magistrate. "Have ye anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced?" "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn," began the prisoner in a flight of oratory. "I am not so debased as Poe, so profligate as Byron, so ungrateful as Keats, so intemperate as Burns, so timid as Tennyson, so vulgar as Shakespeare, so—" "That'll do, that'll do," interrupted the magistrate.

I think they're as bad as he is. A friend of ours from up Toronto way tells this one: "A Scot from Peebles emigrated to Canada. The morning after his arrival he hailed a pronouncedly brunette African at a street corner. 'Hoot, mon,' he said (all Scots have to say 'Hoot, mon!' in stories, you know) "can you tell me whaur I'll find the kirk!" It so happened that the African had been born in Scotland himself, and had a burr as emphatic as the Peeble man's. "Gang right up to you house," he answered. "Take the right turnin' and loosh, ye're there." The white Scot was dazed. "Hoo lang hale ye been ower here!" "Abobt two year." "Heaven save me and keep us!" said the white Scot. "Whaur can I get the next boat for Glesgae." Are You Fat?

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying PROTECT AGAINST FORGERIES—Riverside (Cal.) Press. The announcement of the protective department of the American Bankers' Association that bank losses from forgeries outnumber losses from holdups three to one comes as a surprise to those who have thought the recent "crime wave" was largely a matter of acts of violence. Of $63 persons arrested since August 21 of last year, 266 were accused of forgery and $1 of activity in holdups. Since the activity of forgers is by far the more consequential item and the one which is most readily coped with, the bankers' association stresses the manner of preventing that sort of crime. A few of the suggestions given for the prevention of the perpetration of forgery follow. 1. Never sign a blank check. 2. Destroy signature on canceled checks. 3. Use check protecting device. 4. Write close to left-hand margin and heavily underscore all unwritten portions of spaces provided for payee's name and amount. There are simple precautions, yet the failure of the public to observe them cost the Nation $50,000,000 last year. ON THE SPUR OF MOMENT STATISTICS OF THE CLOSING YEAR One movie star was married three times during the year, it not being a very good year, apparently. Seventeen chorus girls married young college men, and two of these couples are still married. Baby cab sales exceeded those of any past year, although it cannot be said exactly that they exceeded expectations. One hundred and forty-seven special "weeks" were celebrated, which was slightly embarrassing, as this year was a short one, with only fifty-two weeks. Ninety-seven European celebrities and 3,563 lesser lights came over to tell us how to tend to our business. They are talking now of simplifying the income tax blank, but simplifying the tax itself would be just as satisfactory. One writer says homes are cleaner than they used to be. Well, we would hate to think that all those vacuum agents had been working in vain. Baby cab sales exceeded those of any past year, although it cannot be said exactly that they exceeded expectations.
