HONESTY DOMINATES IN GOVERNMENT They are not good patriots or sound Americans who would sow seeds of distrust in the integrity of the government at Washington. The government is fundamentally sound. Dishonesty is the exception, not the rule, among officials and attaches of the government. A big scandal is being developed, affecting one of the departments of the government. There has been improper conduct, according to developments. A committee of Congress is investigating. President Coolidge has pledged himself to proceed fearlessly and unsparingly to fix guilt and to punish it. At the same time the President asserts earnestly his intention to protect the innocent. This is just, humane, American. The President should not be embarrassed by clamor, proceeding from political or other motives. There will be vigorous prosecution of the guilty. Mr. Coolidge promises this, and he is a man of his word. Meanwhile, it should be recognized by every sensible, fair-minded citizen that these scandals are not typical of governmental methods at Washington. It should be the part of every good citizen to maintain faith in the integrity of the government and in the honesty and incorruptibility of men in high places. Exceptions only prove the rule. Honesty and uprightness are dominant in governmental affairs. The owned home usually is a happy home. from political or other motives. There will be vigorous prosecution of the guilty.

The chief difference is that Europe uses a vote of confidence and we use a coat of whitewash. Europe isn't greatly shocked by Dawes. She got accustomed to American mule drivers. Free people seldom lose confidence in their government until they lose interest in it. It makes a politician shudder to see Bok letting all that publicity go without announcing for anything.

Teeth: Fair without and false within. There’s a tonic in walking and you don’t need a spoon. Trash at the back door brings the hearse to the front. No mother may feed her baby dirty milk—and keep the baby. "In such heavy traffic," The officer said: "There's only two classes— The quick and the dead." Bowel complaint, among breast fed babies, is comparatively rare. Any butcher can amputate a mangled leg; it takes a surgeon to save one. Some patches may be badges of honor, but not patches of wild oats. No man liveth unto himself—his neighbor has a keen interest in the state of his back yard. When "flu" is in season You threaten your life By kissing your own or Another man's wife. Those who have authority to speak on the subject say 90 per cent of us acquire tuberculosis during childhood—as the scars in our lungs will show.

I don't believe I better go to military for a drior two." "Not drilling outdoors now, am you?" the doctor inquired. "No, sir," the student admitted. "Well, your throat won't interfere with your going to indoclasses." "But, you see, doc, I play l the band, and—" "Oh, in that case it's different;" the doctor interrupted. "don't want you straining thru throat in band practice. Here an excuse for three days." Three days later the studen again presented himself at the hospital. "Well, how's the throat now? the doctor inquired." "Pretty good, I guess," the student replied. "Think you can go back to banpractice now?" the doctor asked. "Guess I might just as well." "Say by the way," the doctor remarked. "I used to play in band a little myself several yearago. Toot a horn a little yet once, in a while. That's the reason knew how hard it would be oi your sore throat. What do yo-玩?" "One of the drums," the student replied, and slid hastily ou the door.

With California facing the dryest season in its history, a water shortage is imminent. To obtain ample water next summer for your needs --avoid a water famine this year by installing a Layne & Bowler deep well pump. With California facing the dryest season in its history, a water shortage is imminent. To obtain ample water next summer for your needs you cannot afford to depend upon ditch water or water from shallow depths. By installing a turbine centrifugal pump to reach the lowest water level you eliminate the hazard of a water famine and prevent irrigation failure. Layne and Bowler Pumps are built to reach extremely low water levels. In fact many of these pumps are raising water from as deep as 350 and even 500 feet. There are no lubrication troubles or bearing weaknesses to contend with—and operation costs are very economical. Recent improvements in design permit greater efficiency. Let us give you authoritative information regarding the water strata conditions in your immediate vicinity and quote the cost of installing a pump to the necessary level. INFORMATION REQUEST Layne & Bowler Corp., 900 Santa Fe Ave., Los Angeles, Calif. Gentlemen:— Without obligation, please send information regarding your pumps. Depth of Well .... Capacity Desired ....

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying DEMAND CLEANER MOTION PICTURES—Modesto News Statistics compiled in Los Angeles snow that the picture-going public is sensitive to movie scandal and drop off in attendance at the theaters following the worst offenses. The thing would be more easily explained if attendance at films of the stars involved alone were affected, but the figures show that theaters are affected regardless of what films are being shown. We can remember in our own case developing a dislike for our favorite actor after the airing of his domestic troubles had shown him to be lacking in some of the essentials, but this did not lead to a boycott of the others. Probably it is fortunate that the public acts that way, making all suffer for the sins of a few. Once this fact becomes generally recognized we can look for the establishment of a code of ethics in the moving picture world which frowns severally upon any member of the colony whose sins penalize the others. Something more tangible than frowns would be the likely results, with actors and actresses being barred from the films just as baseball players are kept off the diamond. Such action already has been taken by individual promoters, but with the financial value of the individual in mind rather than the good of the industry, it seems. Let the movie industry through its mentor, Will Hays, establish the policy of punishing all those who bring disgrace to the films and there would be a calming down of the wild ones who are a law unto themselves.

All sailors sometimes long to be Anchored and safe at home; With never thought of wind and tide, Nor islands of desire, But only rest and peace beside Their own hearth and fire. For beauty pails; and lovelliness Leaves little hurts and scars. Though hearts may lose old tired distress 'Neath sympathetic stars; Though winds may whisper keen and kind, Caressed by cheeks by foam; A-sudden, eyes to all are blind And seeking only—home. And swift and sweet come little lights Through mists of memory, And visions in the lonely nights On lonely decks at sea; And men resolve with shamed sighs Again no more to roam, (The while they know the vow is lies) And dream their dreams of home —Cecil Fielding YOU ARE INVITED!
