Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS There is no question of bond or free, ruler or ruled, now. In the Kingdom of Heaven there are no such relations. The only greatness recognized there is greatness in service; the only law, the law of love.—Thomas Davidson. TRADE GAINS SHOWN IN FOREIGN FIELD Foreign trade of the United States during the year 1923 was prodigious. While Great Britain was in the lead in volume of imports and exports, yet the greatest percentage of gain was made in trade with Canada and countries of Latin America. Total trade with Great Britain exceeded $1,200,000,000. But more remarkable was the immense volume of commerce with Canada. Exports to the neighbor dominion were more than $651,000,000 and imports were more than $415,000,000. This denoted substantial gains over the previous year. America's trade with South America also was of vast proportions. This country imported from South America more than $466,000,000 of commodities, and in turn sold to South American countries more than $269,000,000. Remarkable increase in export and import trade between the United States and countries on this Western Hemisphere is added proof that the Western World is emancipating itself from economic dependence upon Europe. While economic affairs across the Atlantic are in disordered, demoralized plight, conditions here have become stabilized and this country and other countries on this side of the world have proceeded with normal activities and have made great economic advancement.

There are certain elements and influences in this country which need to be reminded that the public domain belongs to the public. Plant trees along highways. They afford protection against annoying winds. They afford comfortable shade. They add greatly to the beauty of the landscape. Woodrow Wilson will stand high in the annals of the world. His altruism some time will be written in golden letters of that sentiment from the skies, "On earth peace, good will toward men." If there is to be reduction in tax on earned incomes, it would be very welcome to those who pay the taxes to have the cut made retroactive, to apply to the taxes to be paid on 1923 incomes. The progress of the human race depends upon the progress of the individual. Let the majority of individuals be progressive and forward looking, and these progressives will carry the race along with them. Vast numbers of individuals are creatures of influence—susceptible to influence. The better the influences exerted upon them, the better for them. If the courts and criminal procedure of California are hampered by antiquated, complicated codes, the course of justice cannot run smooth. There should be reform of the criminal code of the state. It should be simplified and should be made more practical, in accordance with the mature judgment of legal experts.

The hinterland knows little of culture. There is scarcely a billboard in sight. What we need now is a magazine full of articles showing how famous men got poor. One good way to popularize classical music is to steal it and use it in a popular song. If a man has the same friends now that he had in 1902, it simply means that he hasn't grown much. A hick town is one where there is less picking of pockets and more picking of teeth on Main street. It is fine to winter in the south and loll about in a bathing suit if you don't mind the cold. The worst cynies are those who but recently and unprofitably believed in Santa Claus. Inland towns are unsuitable for conventions, though it isn't so much the heat as the aridity.

Vets Board to Talk Of Colonization SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6. — Discussion of the feasibility of the proposed state veterans land settlement colony will feature a meeting of the veterans' welfare board. Little Talk On Thrift By S. W. STRAUS, (President American Society for Thrift()) Not all waste is the result of inefficient habits or methods. Thriftlessness does not consist entirely of being merely slipshod. The greatest of all losses springs from discordant mental attitudes. More and more we should realize the stabilizing and upbuilding value of human harmony. It is lack of human harmony that is creating chaos in Europe today. It was lack of human harmony that brought the civilized world into that cataclysm which ended five years ago. Lack of human harmony has caused the death of nations, the bankruptcy of business institutions, the ruin of personal fortunes and the failure of individuals over and over again since the world began. But what produces human harmony Is it enforcing one's own will, opinion, desires or selfish purposes on others without respect to their rights and feelings? Or is it meeting the situation with broad vision, liberal heart and clear thinking? We have but to study our own lives and our own experiences to find the answer to this great truth. Discord, jealousy and destructive motives, if they have ever found a place in our lives, have invariably reacted to our own detriment. On the other hand, when we have approached our problems Vets Board to Talk Of Colonization SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6. — Discussion of the feasibility of the proposed state veterans land settlement colony will feature a meeting of the veterans' welfare board to be held in San Francisco early in February, according to announcement made today by George Stout, secretary of the board. Land settlement experts who have had experience in the conduct of state colonies at Dehi and Durham will participate in the conference and representatives of every organization of world war veterans will be on hand. Altho it is generally understood that the veterans' welfare board already has chosen a colony site, conclusive action has been delayed owing to opposition to the colonization plan, which has developed among many veterans. A large number of former soldiers believe that they should be allowed to choose their individual farm rather than be units of a group project. On this ground, objections have been raised to the expenditure of the $1,000,000 appropriation on hand until the service men have had an opportunity to be heard. CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH MONEY Send this ad and 10 cents to Foley & Co., 2835 Sheffield ave., Chicago, Ill., writing your name and address clearly. You will receive a 10-cent bottle of FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR COMPOUND for coughs, colds and hoarseness; also free sample packages of FOLEY PILLS, a diuretic stimulant for the kidneys, and FOLEY CATHARTIC TABLETS for constipation and billiousness. These wonderful remedies have helped millions of people. Try them! Heying's Pharmacy can supply you. Discord, jealousy and destructive motives, if they have ever found a place in our lives, have invariably reacted to our own detriment. On the other hand, when we have approached our problems and difficulties with just and generous consideration of others, we have found that we gained strength, support and a helping hand from others. Always is this true. Always is it the great secret of advancement, no matter in what realm of activity we find ourselves. Help ourselves by helping others. The heights are never gained over the stepping-stones of other men's failures. Follow ever the pathway that is indicated by your own best instincts. It is the part of true thrift to develop harmony in our lives because only in this way are we able to reach the utmost possibilities of self-advancement and usefulness to others. No indeed, men are not born equal. We have known men holding $25 worth of chances on a prize lose out to a chap with one ten-gent ticket.—Red Bluff News.

IN THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT FORCE OF HABIT Two men stood on the platform Of the South Ferry station Of the Seventh avenue suhway, And they were alone. The train pulled in For its trip uptown and There wasn't a soul in it Both men stood ready to jump Into the side door of a car, And when the door was opened Both men went in head foremost, Hitting the same narrow passage, Where they became enjangled, They pulled and hauled and Glared at each other, and when They finally separated. Both made for the same end seat. One man got it and the other Sat down heavily on his lap. Both jumped up, ready to fight. They said nothing, but glared At each other; and if looks Could kill, both would now Be dead. Both stood up and Took hold of the same hand hold, Although there were forty others Which were not in use. They didn't realize that they Were the only ones in the car, And were playing true to form. They held the same strap and Glared at each other until One got off at Times square. THE DIPLOMAT A bone-dry law for embassies? My word. What can this be? Cannot a foreign diplomat Keep gin around and this and that And Scotch from o'er the sea? What matters that this country's dry? The diplomatic corps Should have the right to keep this stuff. A cellar full, if that's enough, If not, a warehouse more. We'll give this budge to whom we like. Tis far enough, we guess And if our servants chance to sell This stuff to thirsty Yankees, well, Tis no one's business. The arrogance of these crude folk, It is astounding quite. They get up laws to rule their land They do not seem to understand That they have no such right. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE SENTENCES? "Yes, there is a train coming. I could beat it to the crossing with my car, but I will not try." "I do not care for this office unless the demand for me is unanimous." "Madam, I will gladly hold your baby while you go into the millinery department to pick out a hat." "If it were not for me, the firm I work for would go to smash in two weeks." WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE SENTENCES? "Yes, there is a train coming. I could beat it to the crossing with my car, but I will not try." "I do not care for this office unless the demand for me is unanimous." "Madam, I will gladly hold your baby while you go into the millinery department to pick out a hat." "If it were not for me, the firm I work for would go to smash in two weeks." "I eat plain food and I never have the slightest desire for anything fancy." "I have taken a cold plunge every morning during the past twenty years and I am always glad to do it." "Any time you are in need of money, call on me. My purse is always at your command." "Although you are hard to look at, madam, it will be a pleasure to me to see you safely to your home." "I wouldn't have a radio set in my house if some one should give me one and install it for nothing." "I have no ambition whatever to be President of the United States. I am satisfied." "It would please us greatly if you would spend the summer at our little place at Newport." "I do wish you would ask your daughter to recite something for us this evening." "I always let my children do as they please. Self-expression is the greatest experience in the world." "Yes, I am a novelist, but I tell you frankly, I have never written anything worth while." "If there is anything I love it is a nice long invigorating ride in the subway." They call a man a breadwinner when that is about the least thing he has to win. Why not call him a sable coat winner or an automobile winner? STRETCHING A POINT The subway sobs for a flexible fare, So this one should hand it a tickle. Talk to the mint and the folks over there May turn out a nice rubber nickel.
