Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS The workman plodding to his task, the beggar trumping through the mire, is imbosomed in an infinite beauty which may lift his soul to rapture, if it is simple enough and pure enough to take the bright impression in.—James Baldwin Brown. CONSERVE WATER, BUT—DO NOT EXAGGERATE During this season of extraordinary light precipitation throughout California, urging comes to conserve water supply against waste. This is wise and timely. Suggestion comes that damming of streams be effected, to impound surplus water. This, too, is wise and timely. It is recognized that this state must use good judgment and provident prudence in husbanding its available supplies of water. Well and good. These things should be understood thoroughly by Californians. Policies and courses of action should be shaped accordingly. But— There should be no undue exaggeration of the situation. Alarmist reports should not be sent broadcast which might do this state and section irreparable harm. California is not going into a water famine. But hysterical exaggerations, spread beyond the borders of the state, easily might create the impression that California faces an actual-dearth of water of calamitous proportions—an impression which would be very hurtfully and groundlessly mischievous, in frightening homemakers and investors away from this state. Abundance of water is available here. Even this season, uncommonly dry up to the present, may bring a generous downpour of late rains, extending throughout the spring and well into the summer. There is no basis for exaggerated alarm—no ground for alarm at all. Caution and judicious conservation are in order, but not silly, baseless and damaging fears and rumors which would cripple the progress of California, if spread abroad. Let's exercise good common sense in this thing. True greatness is measured by usefulness and benevolence. Good roads constitute an asset of almost inestimable Abundance of water is available here.

Relics of Abraham Lincoln and other illustrious Americans should be treated with respect. The reckless driver who kills through his reckless driving is a potential murderer. The home owner usually is contented and an excellent citizen. Ownership gives a dignity and a sense of responsibility and fixedness. Reforestation should become a fixed policy in California, and replanting of forests should be upon a prodigious scale, to meet future requirements. For every forest tree felled in California three trees should be planted. Unless scientific and systematic reforesting methods are adopted, this state will face a timber famine in the near future.

ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT L'ARBE ANCIENT "They call me old," the palm tree said, With a stately toss of his feathered head. "What if I am? I have seen all of life Battle and murder and sudden strife. Seen great cities laid to waste As the conquering hordes swept down in haste. Watched the Nile with its flow and ebb. Watched the spider weave his web. I can see on the desert's flaming rim Tombs that are opened for seekers' whim. Countless moons which will climb the sky Will be counted by me before I die." Thus spoke the palm to the tourist crowd With a calm disdain born of lineage proud. —Jesamine Houston. SOME PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE That Croesus would not be worth a modern chorus girl's attention. That Los Angeles is inhabited solely by movie heroes and heroines. That it is possible to fool the public by going to church every Sunday. That nobody wears bone-rimmed eyeglasses in order to see better. That railroad sandwiches must be indigestible to be considered good. That pie is strictly an American institution, known nowhere else. That men never pay any attention at all to their complexions. That favorite comedians get up their stuff on the spur of the moment. That it is very difficult for a sea-going man to tell a story straight. The French people spend all their time in frivolous entertainment. All is not quiet along the Teapotmac. Real love is inarticulate. The man who is always protesting he loves you, doesn't. Studies in connection therewith took him to India, and it was while there engaged in Sanskrit searches that the German consul-general at Bombay very suddenly died and he was requested by the Berlin government to take over the post, first of all temporarily, and then permanently.
