DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Let us read the traces of His hand in all our ways, in all the events, the chances, the changes, of this troubled state. It is He that folds and feeds us, that makes us go in and out—to be faint or to find pasture—to lie down by the still waters, or to walk by the way that is parched and desert. H. E. Manning CONDITIONS IMPROVE IN ECONOMIC WAY There is general advancement and clear skies for manufacturing and general business, according to Julius H. Barnes, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, who has just made a tour of the country, to inquire into and to observe economic conditions. The area of distress is narrowed down principally to three industries, namely: Cattle raising, copper mining and single-crop grain-raising. There is improvement in view for cattlemen. Copper is dependent more upon conditions in Europe. Farmers who have been depending chiefly upon a single crop are turning to diversification of crops. And so, for the most part, the economic stress is working itself toward elimination. In the rural and copper-mining regions the pinch of adversity has been felt most keenly. But the lessons of this period should be deep and wholesome. The mistakes in economic judgment should be discerned and corrected. And gradually, but surely, the industries which have experienced "hard times" should emerge into better times. The United States Constitution should be read studiously by all. Its principal points should be brought out in schoolroom teaching. Teachers and parents should be sufficiently conversant with the Constitution to impart exact information about its chief provisions to the young.

COAST LEAGUE TO OFFER BETTER BASEBALL The Pacific Coast Baseball League is greatly strengthened for the forthcoming season, from present indications. Restoration of the draft and fraternal relations with the major leagues has opened the way to obtain new and better talent for the Coast League. It is admitted by all who are conversant with personnel and playing last year that it was a very poor season with about the shabbiest playing ever witnessed in this League. Lovers of this fine sport will welcome the betterment that is in prospect for 1924. All the teams have made changes in personnel of players, and some have new managers. Several changes manifestly are for the better. Others must pass the test of actual playing during the season. Fashion is a ruthless tyrant. The one-crop farmer should convert himself into a many crop farmer. Congress may adjourn finally in June. But what torrents of talk there will be, between now and June! "I am ready to go!" What a blessed thing if every human being could say this when the Angel of Death calls! Each and every lease of portions of the public domain should be made honestly and with businesslike care, the same as careful private corporations run their business. Public business should have the best, in plans and in methods. Power That strapping big new Overland engine has everybody talking. It is all sinew and power.

Los Angeles St. Phone 366 A good sport is a man who won't swat a fly until he has thawed it out and given it a fighting chance. An old-timer is one who can remember when everybody was de-lightfully shocked by a corset ad. When a woman writes to her old friends, her husband knows she is pouting at him about something. The devil isn't so smart. It never occurred to him to make old Job change tires in zero weather. The length of his cigarette holder indicates how loudly Dad roars when he overdraws his air lowance. Taking the pledge in this era reminds us of the man who promised his wife never to fight a wild cat. It seems strange, but many of our great men never could make a combination shot for the side pocket. No man is hopeless. The loafer who causes people to wag their tongues may cause dogs to wag their tails. Henpecked husbands need no worry. The trailer furnishes no power, but it gets there just the same. The modern youth may not know how to shake down the funnace, but he knows how to shake down the old man. The sun will be in eclipse this year, but the eclipse will be invisible. Several movie stars in eclipse will also be invisible. An English conservative is one who thinks the coat of arms will be changed to include a callous hand raised aloft to spank. Correct this sentence: "Will all my wordly goods I thee edow," said the newspaper porter. What the politicians can't understand is why a mere private citizen like Bok should try wish something on the people.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Tax reduction legislation entered today on the third stage of its consideration in the house with Democratic leaders certain the Democratic plan would be substituted for the Mellon plan of income tax changes. This bill fixes the maximum surtax of 44 per cent and cuts in half the normal tax rates. Republican leaders are fighting for their bill with the hope that they can save all except the 23 per cent maximum surtax. Representative Longworth said today it had been reported to him there were 208 votes assured for a maximum surtax of 35 per cent. A vote will be taken in the house on this rate before votes are heard on the Democratic rate of 44 per cent. With the 35 per cent rate accepted, it is believed by the Republican leaders they can save the provisions of the Republican tax bill. Conferences between the steering committee and prominent house Republicans were held throughout the day for the purpose of preparing for the battle of rat votes expected next Tuesday or Wednesday. It is probable that the Democratic plan will be proposed by Representative Garner for the Mellon plan immediately after the latter has been read. Some Republications favoring 35 per cent maximum will then offer that rat as a substitute for the others. Longworth believes the Free plan will be rejected by the house by a large majority.

The medium, after a good deal of futile work, said to her: "The conditions this evening seem unfavorable. I can't seem to establish communication with Mr. Jackson, ma'am." "Well, I'm not surprised," said the widow, with a glance at the clock. "It's only half past-eight now, and Arthur never did show up till about 3 a.m."—Tit-Bits. The automobile turned a corner, and the dog rushed out and entered into combat with it. The driver did his best to dodge, but was unsuccessful, and, being a decent sort, got out of the car and carried the remains of the unfortunate beast into its owner's garden. The latter, a fiery woman, raged at him as if he had committed a deliberate murder. When he could manage to get a word in he tried to pacify her. "I am very sorry, madam, I assure you," he said, "and I shall be happy to replace your dog." The woman glared at him. "You flatter yourself," she said. A wealthy American girl was attending a social function at a country house in England. "You American girls have not such healthy complexions as we have," said an English duchess to the girl. "I always wonder why our noblemen take a fancy to your white faces." "It isn't our white faces that attracts them," responded the American: "it's our greenbacks." POEMS THAT LIVE TO A LADY ASKING HIM HOW LONG HE WOULD LOVE HER It is not, Celia, in our power, To say how long our love will last; It may be we within this hour, May lose those joys we no do taste, The Blessed, that immortal life From change in love and only free.

And hung her delightful brown bobbed head; "And so I've the right to voice a plea: O, Noble Youth, will you marry me?" The lad for a moment was quite nonplused, For never before had he been thrust In such a position, but ready wit Succeeded in getting him out of it. "Your asking, dear lady, flatters me To such an extent I can scarcely see. But can you support me in the style To which I'm accustomed?" he said with guile. "Alas," she responded, "my means are small; I hadn't considered that at all!" "Well, that being so, I will stay with mother." He said, "and to you I will be a brother." —A. B.
