Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Teach me to love and to forgive Exact my own defects to scan, What others are, to feel, and know Myself a Man. —Thomas Gray AID FOR FARMER URGED BY PRESIDENT Heed the message of President Coolidge—give quick relief to farmers of the Northwest and to banking institutions there: This is the immediate and pressing duty and responsibility which rests upon Congress. Without dailying or political maneuvering, something constructive should be done. This should be of a temporary nature, however. It should be done only to stabilize conditions in the agricultural belt, and to prevent closing of bank doors in the farm belt, which, if not stopped, might bring on widespread trouble. The wheat farmers should be helped to tide over their disastrous crop year and to start in on a system of diversification. The aid given by the government should be distinctively co-operative. Farmers should be urged to help themselves by getting away from the one-crop method. This is sure to bring hard times, sooner or later, whatever the one crop may be. In diversification lies relief for the farmer. His own intelligence and initiative should point the way, and his good sense should impel him to follow the path of diversification. Political activities throughout the country are marked. All political organizations are active. Presidential primaries give zest to the canvass. Candidacies must be brought into the open sooner than formerly. There must be, in reality, two companions—the campaign for delegates to the national conventions, and then the campaign for election. Taxation is easily the leading issue before Congress. It unquestionably is the main concern of the people, as to material things. Revision of taxation, to the relief of the people, is the bounden duty of this Congress. TOURISTS FOR SUMMER TO BE NUMEROUS Taxation is easily the leading issue before Congress. It unquestionably is the main concern of the people, as to material things. Revision of taxation, to the relief of the people, is the bounden duty of this Congress. TOURISTS FOR SUMMER TO BE NUMEROUS Southern California is to have a great influx of summer tourists this year is the confident belief of high-up railroad authorities. The railroads sense these things in advance. They receive inquiries and they are given orders for reservations which give them fore knowledge of seasonal activities. Word has gone forth from those who reside here and those who have been here in summer, that the summers here are delightful. The cool breezes of the seashore and of the mountains have made their lasting impression upon summer visitors who come from climes where sultriness reigns supreme. The number of summer tourists coming here is increasing with each succeeding season. Many come from neighboring states—Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah. The summers are severe in this great hinterland, and the cooling breezes and moderate temperatures of Southern California are especially attractive to residents of the interior of this great Southwest. And from far states, many are coming to this delightful Southland to spend summer vacations. Meanwhile, it is well for promotional agencies here to stress upon outsiders the delightfulness and mildness of climate here four seasons of the year—winter, spring, summer and autumn. The year 1924 should see the world moved far along on the road to permanent peace. The influence of America should go strongly for the compacting of the nations to prevent wars in future; to guarantee justice without resort to arms. There should be a safe, untangling formula for binding the nations together for the fostering of peace with justice. If this country can originate ways and means, well and good. Leadership of this kind would become the United States. Any well-digested move which would keep this nation out of the political entanglements of the old world should be acceptable to Americans. There is no such thing as an unbreakable New Year's resolution. But there is such thing as the moral courage to keep a good resolution without breaking it.

PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) You seldom find a "good fellow" who is good pay. It is a case of real love if he is thrilled when he sees her in goloshes. The humbug in politics seems to be closely allied to the straddle-bug. Life is just a slow and painful business of being hand-cuffed by habits. If a man has a pet vice, and some reform threatens it, he is called a "liberal." Heinie is beginning to suspect that evasion is about as unprofitable as invasion. In the old days a turned-down glass meant that you were a teetotaler. Now it means that you are suspicious. On the other hand, an open mind may be one that is too porous to hold a conviction. More people got $300,000 in 1922 than in 1921. The grand jury got some of them in 1923. One reason why vice flourishes is because it doesn't depend on a collection plate. As a general thing, the man who thinks he is sighing for liberty is sighing for a soft snap. And many a two-by-four has made himself seem great by cussing. ABE MARTIN What sort o' clientelle have you got," asked a show agent o' Manager Craw o' Melodeon hall, t'day. "Not any, th' town won't support one," he replied.

The matter was put up to the prisoners themselves, it being figured that they would know better than anyone whether they could play the game honorably. It was put to a vote. "Hey, Muley," said one tough citizen to another, "did yer vote for the honor system?" "Sure, kid, four times." Mrs. Jones was exceedingly annoyed by the repeated calls of a certain negro on her dusky cook. "You told me," she protested to the cook, after one especially long call, "that you had no man friends. But this fellow is in the kitchen all of the time." The dusky one wasn't offended. "Dat nigger, he hain't no friend o' mine," she declared scornfully. "Him, he's jes my 'usban.'" Mrs. Hostess admonished Hilda to be very careful in washing up the best tea things. A few minutes later she happened to overhear the servant girl soliloquizing while in the act of wiping the sugar basin: "If I was to drop this 'ere basin, and was to catch it, I s'pose I shouldn't catch it; but if I was to drop it, and was not to catch it, I reckon I should catch it." A certain wealthy senator got into a dispute in Washington with a hotel clerk about a difference of $1.20 in his bill. After going into every angle of the supposed overcharge for more than an hour, the senator gloomily paid the bill and went his way. Just On the other hand, an open mind may be one that is too porous to hold a conviction. More people got $300,000 in 1922 than in 1921. The grand jury got some of them in 1923.

About 87 per cent of the people who think they could run the country safely, let their radiators freeze. If officials should take the pledge not to drink, why not insult them further and demand a pledge not to steal? You will notice that the wife who is jealous uses a pistol of larger caliber than the wife who is merely bored. ENJOYED A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP "I wish to say that FOLEY PILLS worked O.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying SUPER-POWER DEFINED—Riverside (Calif.) Press Electric industry in the United States has had a remarkable growth in every item of importance the past year. Greatly increased use of electrical power in industries and a wider application of electricity in the home is the cause. Within the last few months the country has begun to hear of "Superpower." It is proposed that we burn coal in great central power stations (at the mouth of the mine itself, thus saving useless waste in transportation, useless loss in valuable by-products that amount to many million dollars annually, useless small-scale conversion into power in thousands of furnaces that now waste 80 per cent of the chemical energy in coal as heat. It is proposed, also, that we really begin to tap our vast resources of water power—now less than 10 per cent developed—hitching them into the great systems fed by burning coal. It is proposed to generate power at its sources and ship it along transmission lines at new voltages which engineers are beginning to command, to interlock the country in a finely-woven copper net. That is super-power. With electric power generated by a waterfall in Oregon you can light a reading lamp today in Yuma, Ariz. There is a great electric horse-shoe in Michigan that links ten of the largest cities in that state; there is a super-power project under way in eastern section of Ohio; there is a power trunk line of 900 miles across the Appalachians that links North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. A super-power system already exists in the Northwest, stretching 1000 miles east and west with 5000 miles of transmission lines and a combined capacity of 500,000 horsepower. In California super-power has for some time been a reality. Every step in this direction means increased advantages to the consumer.
