Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS And, filled and quickened by Thy breath, Our souls are strong and free To rise o'er sin, and fear, and death, O Love of God, to Thee! TOURIST TRAVEL HEAVY FOR SUMMER Summer travel to Southern California, this year, bids fair to be heavier in volume than ever before. This section is better advertised as a summer resort than it ever has been. The established notion that Southern California is only delightful in winter is being overcome. Systematic promotional advertising in distant states, through newspapers, magazines and railroad-printed matter, is having its effect. And among the most effective means of promotion is the praise this section is given by the many thousands of persons who have been here in the summer. Many of them come back, and bring relatives or friends with them. And thus a cumulative process of promoting summer travel Californiaward is established. This section is destined to have much travel to it in all seasons. The world will learn, in due time, that Southern California climate is mild and moderate at all seasons. This knowledge will bring many from afar, at whatever season they may be impelled to come, winter, spring, summer, autumn. Tourists and vacationists will learn that they may suit their convenience and comfort in coming to this section and that, whenever they come, they will find weather conditions to their liking. The reform broom could be used to good effect in the Federal Veterans' Bureau. ARBOR DAY SUGGESTS BIG California climate is mild and moderate at all seasons.

In many localities throughout the state the day was observed as it should be observed—by planting trees. In some places the beautiful custom was followed of dedicating trees as memorials to war heroes or to beloved persons whose services were given in peace. California sorely needs to replenish its denuded forest areas. But another consideration should weigh, as well as the need of maintaining adequate supplies of timber: Trees add immensely to the beauty of the state and to its attractiveness to tourists, sightseers and homeseekers. Trees also add much to the comfort of the people, affording refreshing shade against hot sun-rays and giving shelter against storms. There are very many cogent reasons why trees should be planted systematically and in great numbers in this state. There is plenty of time yet, this season, for abundance of rainfall and snowfall in California. It is never in order to be pessimistic about the weather in this state.

SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON No better man I ever knew— He speaks no word unkind, Nor sees our faults as others do— DINNER STORIES A college graduate, the day after commencement, swaggered into a bank and asked to see the president. He was told to wait in an anteroom, where a small boy was chewing gum. "Boy," he said, after a bit, "do you know if there's an opening in the bank for a college graduate?" The boy, chewing grimly, answered: "Dere will be if dey don't slip de extra fixe-spot wot I'm askin' fur in me next pay envelope, see?" A traveling man tells of an incident he observed in one of the towns of Georgia. He was seated in the waiting room when a typical negro of the backwoods type appeared at the ticket window and asked the agent for a ticket to Macon. "Straight or return?" asked the agent. "Straight or return?" repeated the negro. "Yes," continued the agent, "a straight ticket will take you to Macon only, and a return ticket will bring you back here." The negro understood at once. "Say," he shouted, "what do yo' think I wants a return ticket for when I'm already beah?" He wore a long tailed coat, a frock tie and a stiff hat that marked him as a small town aristocrat of the old school. At the hotel he strolled around the lobby with an air of ownership that was very impressive.

F. THOMSON No better man I ever knew— He speaks no word unkind, Nor sees our faults as others do— For he is dumb and blind. Well, anyway, soft drinks don't harden one's liver. Those in search of local color might try hunting hornets. Who, in his youth, borrows from his declining years finds the accumulated interest compounded. The biggest argument for Golden State THE HIGH SCORE BUTTER is the great number of Southern California women who refuse to accept any other brand — even when it means changing grocers, to get it. They know that Golden State is dependable butter — made from selected cream — churned and packed in model creameries by improved, efficient methods. They know that it pays to insist!

At the hotel he strolled around the lobby with an air of ownership that was very impressive. But in a stay of three days not a nickel had been scattered among the help and the word had spread fast that the colonel was not all that he seemed to be. He had just had his "boots" shined, and as the boy brushed him off, he remarked: "George, what would you think if I gave you 50 cents for this shine?" George answered right up: "Ah would think you wanted fo'ty cents change, suh." When professional men have commercial aspirations they lose that which makes them professional.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH TWELFTH, 1924 Subscription Rate—In N. Orange co., per year, $3; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter GEORGE ROUSSOS George Roussos, the new premier of Greece, is, next to his lifelong friend and chieftain, Eleutherius Venzielos, admittedly the ablest man in the public life of Greece. He created an excellent impression and made many friends in America, while representing his country as minister of enlightenmentary, from 1916 until 1920. It was Roussos, incidentally, who was entrusted by his countrymen with the delicate mission of calling upon young King George to leave Greece and to remain abroad. When he came to America, in 1916, Roussos had been, for some 50 years, the acknowledged leader of the international bar of Egypt, in which capacity he welcomed the late Theodore Roosevelt on the occasion of the latter's visit to Cairo and Alexandria. Roussos enjoyed the warm friendship and the confidence alike of Lord Cromer and of Lord Kitchener, helping them to straighten out many a difficulty in connection with the troublesome problems in dealing with the large foreign population and even with the natives, who held him in high regard, constantly appealing to him for advice in their troubles. When Venizelos became president of the provincial government of Saloniki he summoned Roussos to his side and besought him to undertake the mission of representing the Saloniki government in the United States, and to obtain for it the same confidence and COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying BANKERS FAVOR NEWSPAPERS—(Visalia Daily Times) It is highly significant, too, in this connection, that the many bank managers and other officials of the conference did not consider the question of whether banks should seek favorable publicity through the medium of advertising, all looking upon it as merely a matter of well-established fact that all should advertise. Only the best ways and means of gaining results were considered when the subject was brought up; and it was given full and ready consideration, reports Mr. Barboni. On his return from an important and highly interesting and informative meeting in El Centro, of the many managers and other officials of the numerous and prosperous branch banks of the Pacific-Southwest Trust & Savings Bank system, Joe R. Barboni, cashier of the Visalia branch of that great financial institution, related to friends here today some of the outstanding elements of the conference in the Imperial county capital. One of the subjects more thoroughly discussed, said Mr. Barboni, was that of bank advertising. Considered largely from the standpoint of returns from money expended in various forms of advertising by the many advertising plans, schemes, devices and opportunities tried out, newspaper advertising brought by far the best results. Following up this conclusion, the bankers decided in future to cut off all expenditures for novelty advertising—pencils, blotters, calendars and various other commonly-known articles distributed as advertising matter—and to expend their budget appropriations for advertising in newspapers, strictly. This high approval of the efficacy of the newspaper as the most practicable, efficient and result-getting agency for obtaining the kind of publicity sought by banks—controlled and managed by high-class and experienced business men specially trained—is another strong endorsement. The discussion alluded to herein, and the decision arrived at, came after wide experience and experimentation on the part of the banking institutions of the Pacific-Southwest system; hence it is all the more complete and satisfactory and to be taken as a well-established precedent. Inner, helping them to straighten out many a difficulty in connection with the troublesome problems in dealing with the large foreign population and even with the natives, who held him in high regard, constantly appealing to him for advice in their troubles. When Venizelos became president of the provincial government of Saloniki he summoned Roussos to his side and besought him to undertake the mission of representing the Saloniki government in the United States, and to obtain or it the same confidence and support that was being accorded by Great Britain and by France. Without a minute's hesitation Roussos turned over his lucrative legal practice in Egypt to his parents and, after prolonged conferences in Saloniki with Venizelos, called for New York. Perhaps the best proof of confidence which he succeeded in inspiring in his government and in his country and among the various administration circles at Washington was the fact that some six months before the armistice the treasury, by the direction of President Wilson, placed a very large sum of money at the service of the Venizelos government at Athens. When he sailed in the spring of 1919 to assist Venizelos in representing the interests of Greece at the Congress of Versailles he was made the object of a manifestation of good-will rather unusual in the annals of diplomacy. Great captains of finance, university presidents, eminent officials, etc., to the number of nearly 200 united in entertaining him in New York at a dinner of godspaces. At the conclusion of the congress he returned here for another 12 months and then was asked by Venizelos, still in power as preacher, to proceed at once to Constantinople and to there assume the duties of high commissioner of Greece. Before he could reach his post the young King Alexander succumbed to blood poisoning resulting from the bite of a pet monkey and the coup d'état followed at Athens which brought about ex-King Constantine's return and the temporary withdrawal from public life of Venizelos. Roussos, deeply disgusted and disheartened, returned to Athens, resumed his practice at the bar, which he has now, once more, abandoned in response to the call of Venizelos and of many of his leading fellow-countrymen. This high approval of the efficacy of the newspaper as the most practicable, efficient and result-getting agency for obtaining the kind of publicity sought by banks—controlled and managed by high-class and experienced business men specially trained—is another strong endorsement. The discussion alluded to herein, and the decision arrived at, came after wide experience and experimentation on the part of the banking institutions of the Pacific-Southwest system; hence it is all the more complete and satisfactory and to be taken as a well-established precedent. On the spur of the moment From the unpublished memoirs of a woman married four times. Nothing dampens love as quickly and effectually as mentioning a former love. All women are so perverse No man need boast their love possessing. If naught seem better, nothing's worse; All women born are so perverse. From Adam's wife that proved a curse, Though God made her for a blessing. All women born are so perverse No man need boast their love possessing. Professor Jazbo, of Hokum College, which is not his name nor the name of the college happened to think some time ago that there was something wrong with the world, and now he announces that he will write a book and tell just what it is. He has made an exhaustive study of the subject, covering a period of three or four weeks. He will write it into a book at once. Probably his grandson will complete the work if they get it all in. In the first place we believe the professor is approaching the subject from the wrong angle. There is nothing wrong with the world. It is the best old world that anybody knows anything about. That there is something wrong with the people who are living in it can be stated as a fact beyond the peradventure of a doubt. To help the professor along we append a few popular impressions as to what is wrong with the world: Too many "wise guys" who don't know anything. Too much "efficiency" and not enough work. Too many men wearing belts and no suspenders, which reduces the volume of manual labor about 40 per cent. Too many profit grabbers between the farmer and the consumer. Too much weather and not enough climate. Too many people betting on the wrong horses; too many wrong horses. Spaghetti is shorter, on account of a shortage in the spaghetti crop. Pumpkin pies are twenty cents a cut, for no reason whatever. A good handy, harmless liar is preferable to some friendly ginkgo who tells you the "truth about yourself" every time you see him. A man doesn't have to have a million dollars to live comfortably these days. He can do it if he has only $999,999.99. Convinced that highway advertising signs detract from the natural beauty of the great routes of travel of the Pacific Coast, this Company has decided that it will erect no more such signs and that it will immediately remove all of its signs of this nature now standing. Hereafter the Company will confine its use of signs to commercial locations. The Company feels that the splendid scenery so characteristic of nearly all of the highways of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada & Arizona should be unmarred, and on that account is willing to sacrifice the advertising value of the signs.
