DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS He has kept and folded us from ten thousand ills when ice did not know it; in the midst of our security, ice should have perished every hour, but that He sheltered us "from the terror by night and from the arrow that flieth by day,"—from the powers of evil that walk in darkness,—from snares of our own evil will. He has kept us even against ourselves, and saved us from our own undoing.—H. E. Manning. FARM CO-OPERATION IS TO BE ADVERTISED A national conference of farmers' co-operative marketing associations decided to advertise throughout the Nation to promote co-operation in selling products of farms. Farmers are getting down to fundamentals when they take their affairs into their own hands and apply business principles to them, instead of depending upon the federal government for paternalistic aid. Good management on the farm will bring success, just as good management will bring success in other fields of endeavor. Advertising will sell farm products. The mammoth sales of certain manufactured articles are brought about through extensive advertising. The same thing can be done for the farmer by advertising his products. If the present critical situation on American farms should result in the thorough awakening of the farmer to realization of his opportunities and to a fixed determination to better himself through self-dependent, self-helping methods, the crisis will not have been in vain. There is stronger reason now for instituting sagacious, self-reliant policies among farmers than ever before, because world conditions have changed and economic conditions are such that the American farmer must adapt himself to make them and make the best of them.

There is stronger reason now for instituting sagacious, self-reliant policies among farmers than ever before, because world conditions have changed and economic conditions are such that the American farmer must adapt himself to make them and make the best of them. Acts of moral cowardice undermine character. This should be a year without mudslinging in politics. Let there be no whitewashing in connection with Teapot Dome. Groundless besmirching of character should be treated as a crime, which it is. The American farmer should turn to self-help for "first aid." The treasures of literature are within reach of all. The humblest person in the land may have companionship with the most illustrious writers of all ages.

BODY JUST LIKE SOLAR SYSTEM WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—The human body is made up of millions of infinitely small solar systems which operate virtually under the same laws of nature which regulate the revolutions of the earth and planets about the sun, according to eminent scientists at the U.S. bureau of standards. If you should stick a pin in your finger it probably would penetrate the orbits of a halfdozen universes, all with their own little suns, planets, comets and moons revolving about a central nucleus. Not only the human body, but the structure of every animal, of every property of nature, placed under a magnifying glass of suficient power, might yield up a picture and tell a story explaining that "master question" which inspires the words of the philosopher: "There was a door to which I found no key. There was a vell through which I could not see; Some little talk." Plain Dealer Classified Ads Always Bring Results SAYS — NOW STIFF JOINTS MUST GO!

If you wish to know whether he is a somebody or a nobody, ask him for a match. If he's a nobody, he will look offended. Still, a vocabulary of big words is very essential if you write for living and have very few ideas. You can't tell whether it was murder or self defense unless you know how rich he is. He isn't a genuine old-timer unless he thinks a woman has unsexed herself if she has brains.

New Discovery Limbers 'Em Up and Even the Creaking Coases Yes: it's true—the world progresses. All you have to do nowadays to limber up that stiff, rusty knee joint is to squeeze a half inch of miracle working substance from a tube. Then rub it on the offending part for about a quarter of a minute or until it soaks through the skin and disappears on its errand of mercy. Then read the evening newspapers and go to bed. The chances are that your misbehaving knee joint will lose its "creak" while you are dreaming about the high fences you used to leap when you were a youngster. "And in the morning," says one who has tried the new discovery, "you'll feel so happy that you'll want to jump into your sportiest clothes and walk briskly down the street just to show the neighbors that you are not as old as they think you are." Joint Ease: They call this wonder working substance, for the reason that when ordinary remedies fail to limber up the stiff, inflamed rheumatic joint, or reduce the swelling, Joint-Ease succeeds. It's a good name for a good clean, stainless prescription that in just a few months has proven to a multitude of people that lame, swollen, distorted joints can speedily have the kinks taken out of them and work as smoothly as ever. But Joint Ease is for bother some joints, whether in keen ankle, hip, shoulder, spine or finger, and for that purpose its sale is immense. Heying's Pharmacy has a big supply of it and druggists everywhere report a big demand. Plain Dealer Classified Ads Always Bring Results PUBLIC SPIRITUALIS SERVICES MRS. ETHEL' E.

As a result of this visit to Washington a resurvey of the harbor is now under way and will be submitted with report and recommendations to the proper officials in the very near future. The monthly meetings of the Harbor Chamber of Commerce are being held with a view to acquainting the people of the county with the harbor situation.

Hayden, Santa Ana; Dr. Huston will preside at the meeting. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying MAY HITCH RADIO TO WIRES—Riverside (Calif.) Press Secretary Hoover's suggestion that the radio programs of the future may be sent exclusively over electric light wires, and their reception confined to the light company's patrons, arouses mingled emotions in the hearts of radio fans. It would be pleasant enough for most people to obtain instruction and entertainment of the radio type merely by plugging into a light socket, as they do for a vacuum sweeper or electric toaster. That would simplify the problem of radio receiving equipment and operation. Presumably standard sets would be developed, for which no batteries of any kind would be needed. From the broadcasting viewpoint, too, there would be advantages. The great and growing problem now is how to provide programs of good quality to cast free upon the air, for all who choose to take them, when entertainers are insisting on being paid well for their services. Lighting companies, selling or renting exclusive receiving sets, could afford to employ good talent. All this however, would certainly not satisfy the vast army of radio amateurs, composed mostly of young men and boys, who take more delight in dabbling with radio mechanism than they have ever before taken in anything mechanical or scientific. They want to make their own apparatus, using their own ingenuity and operating it as they please. And it is good for them and good for electrical progress. Great inventors will arise among those amateurs. Neither will it satisfy the multitude of people who are, and will long remain, distant from electric lighting plants. They will not willingly give up their radio. And they can still make their own sets and pick programs from the air as long as powerful stations anywhere are still operating without wires. Probably both methods will develop, side by side, supplementing each other. Some way must be found to continue transmitting intelligence and entertainment over long distances without wires, for that is the finest thing about radio. Mall order houses should still be able to afford it, for advertising purposes, if other business institutions give it up.

Scores of students will be expelled from school unless they voluntarily withdraw from the unlawful "frats" under the educational board's ruling. MOROS WANT U. S. RULE CONTINUED MANILA, Feb. 12.—A delegation of Moro chieftains called on Governor-General Wood today and asked him to transmit their "sincere yearning" for a continuance of American rule. Governor Wood promised to transmit the message to President Coolidge and congress shortly. It frequently happens, also, that campaign money talks loudly enough to drown out what the candidate is saying. LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF DIVIDEND ON PREFERRED STOCK OF LANE'S CHAIN STORES Wagner, Building, Santa Monica, Cal., February 5th, 1924 The Board of Directors of Lane's Chain Stores Co., has this day declared from its net profits an annual dividend at the rate of eight (8%) per cent on its Preferred Stock, to stockholders of record at the close of business December 31st, 1923, payable Saturday, February 9th, 1924. (Signed) H. H. GRADY, Secretary Because of the present state of affairs in the Republic we believe it our duty to call the attention of the electorate to the candidacies of H. L. Mencken of Maryland and George Jean Nathan of New York for president and vice president. They have issued a platform in which they make 110 specific promises a few of which might be mentioned: They agree to serve without pay, to provide their own subsistence and to remain in office, regardless of the Constitutional limitation, until assassinated. Believing that the City of New York at the present time is a distinct entity and utterly dissociated spiritually, mentally and culturally from the rest of the country; believing that it is in no sense an integral part of the nation and that it is completely superior to it—they agree if elected, to permit it to secede from the Union, and to set up its own form of government. They promise on their sacred words of honor that they will not at any time during their period of office travel through the country and shake hands with the yokels. They will make no speeches. Both candidates are bachelors. They offer this point as one of the strongest proofs of their fitness for office. They will keep their photographs out of the rotogravure sections. They promise that they will never write a congratulatory letter to the father of 22 children. They agree to limit the number of English lecturers touring the United States to 5,000 head a year. They promise to change the face of the Goddess of Liberty as it appears on the present coinage, so that the lady will look less like a senescent schoolmarm and more like a cutie. They agree to kiss no babies—that is, under the age of 17. They agree to exclude all woman politicians from the District of Columbia, and to appoint none to public office anywhere, and to round up all those whose homeliness is past endurance and have them put to death in some humane manner. They agree to abolish by executive order the plan of naming battleships after the states of the Union, and to give them the names of typical Americans of the first class, beginning with Brigham Young, P. T. Barnum, John L. Sullivan, Amos Rusie. They agree to veto all bills enacted by Congress embracing appropriations of public money, and to refuse to execute them in case they are passed over their veto, saving only bills for the upkeep of the Army and Navy. They agree at once to close all public offices in Washington save only the War Department, the Navy Department and the Postoffice.
