ARIZONA MAY RATIFY BIG RIVER PACT SOON The building of the Boulder Dam, in the Colorado River, is delayed, and that unnecessarily, in the face of the most urgent need of the Southwest. While Congress is disposed to dally—as too often is the case when great projects press for quick action—yet the first indictment must be drawn against Arizona. The sister state has not ratified the compact affecting the seven states of the Colorado River Basin—a compact which provides for allocation of impounded water and power from the proposed dam. So irritating has become Arizona's delay, one member of the Arizona legislature is sponsoring an initiative measure to determine the sentiment of the people of Arizona on this great enterprise. If Arizona were aligned with its sister states, a solid front could be presented at Washington and the chances would be better for early and favorable action on the dam project. Los Angeles and other cities of this Southland are depending upon getting water from the Colorado River and are putting their faith and their expectations in the Boulder Dam project. There should be co-operation in this all along the line. Arizona should not delay longer. And Congress has been given enough facts and arguments and has pondered this project long enough to act affirmatively. The United States Constitution is the work of master minds and came from the deep-seated convictions of American patriots. MEMBERSHIP GROWTH IN CHURCHES ting their faith and their expectations in the Boulder Dam project. There should be co-operation in this all along the line. Arizona should not delay longer. And Congress has been given enough facts and arguments and has pondered this project long enough to act affirmatively. The United States Constitution is the work of master minds and came from the deep-seated convictions of American patriots. MEMBERSHIP GROWTH IN CHURCHES Americans are a religious people. Church membership in this country exceeds 45,000,000. Gain during the year was more than 680,000. This hardly denotes retrogression of the churches, as is asserted, at times, in some quarters. It would be a sorry country if there were no churches in it—if there were no religious life. Churches are an asset of immeasurable worth to the Nation. There are more than 237,000 houses of worship in the United States. It would be possible for an expert to calculate the cost of these churches and to estimate their material value. But it would be utterly impossible for anyone to determine the real value of these churches. Their influence and their intrinsic worth in the life of the Nation could not be expressed adequately either in figures or in words. They shed a refining impulse over the land. They are forces repelling vice and crime and disorder. They foster that which is pure and sacred in human relations. They promote material welfare and they bulwark the very foundations of civilized society. In every locality churches are the centers of the highest and best in community life. Hatred poisons the soul of the hater. Hating is the least profitable of all emanations of deep feeling. PARAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLEN Liberalism: Darn the rich.

ABE MARTIN DINNER STORIES Little Jack had been so persistently naughty that mother just had to give him a good spanking, and all that afternoon a desire for revenge rankled in his little breast. At length bedtime came, and kneeling down, he said his evenning prayer, asking a blessing upon all the members of the family individually — except one. Then, rising, he turned to his mother with a triumphant look, saying as he climbed into bed. "I s'pose you noticed you wasn't in it." "It says here, 'One of the idols most revered by heathen is a figure of a woman, seated, resting her chin in her hands,'" said Mrs. Farr, reading from a book. "Which proves they are about the wisest people on earth," suggested her husband. "How so, Orrin?" "Well," said Mr. Farr, with em­phasis, "because they make a deity of a woman who has sense enough to give her chin a rest." A man who stutters badly got into an elevator of one of the big city skyscrapers. He worked his jaw frantically, but could not get what floor he wanted until he had been carried up 14 stories above where he wanted to go. Then he came down to the lower floor and started up again. After he had gone through this performance several times he stopped out in disgust and hunted up the man who was directing the running of the elevators. "S-say," he stammered, "w-w-w-would y-you m-mind speakin' t-to th-th-th that f-fel-feller in th-that cage?

He finds that the work of this widely heralded apostle of cheerfulness is exercising a great influence on the minds of men. Thoughtless people have made a good deal of a joke of the Coue declarations of optimism. They have reduced it in some instances to absurdity. But nevertheless, there is a solid foundation to the philosophy which preaches optimism. There is surely nothing lost by taking the cheerful view and much may be gained. The wisest doctors frankly admit that there are classes of disorders which are not organic and for which medicine offers no satisfactory cure. While it may be too much to say that the Coue method will afford relief in all cases of this sort, it is certain that the patient will be at least cheerful under this treatment and will have peace of mind. It will be a wise man who would undertake to say how far the body is affected by the mind. In fact there are many instances on record in which the patient was possessed of an obsession that he had some alliment which he did not have. For half a century or more, wise doctors have made frequent use of the power of suggestion in the treatment of disease, fancied or real. They have not accepted the theory that all disease is of the mind, but they have learned through experience the power of the mental appeal. During the past few years, Coue, the unprofessional doctor of Nancy, has carried the cheerful gospel to a large part of the human race. In all lands the influence of the French chemist has been felt. And everywhere the teachings of cheerfulness have brightened the way of the sufferer and if they have not lengthened life they have added to the comfort of the individual. They have done more than this. They have actually been a powerful factor in healing because they have tuned the mind to assist nature in the reconstruction of the body. OUR OWN DAILY SHORT STORY "Sister Henderson," said Deacon Hyphers severely, "you should avoid even the appearance of evil." In all lands the influence of the French chemist has been felt. And everywhere the teachings of cheerfulness have brightened the way of the sufferer and if they have not lengthened life they have added to the comfort of the individual. They have done more than this. They have actually been a powerful factor in healing because they have tuned the mind to assist nature in the reconstruction of the body. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT OUR OWN DAILY SHORT STORY "Sister Henderson," said Deacon Hyphers severely, "you should avoid even the appearance of evil." "Why, deacon, what do you mean?" asked Sister Henderson. "I observed that on your sideboard you have several cutlery decanters, and that each of them is half filled with what appears to be ardent spirits." "Well, now deacon, it isn't anything of the kind. The bottles look so pretty on the sideboard that I just filled them half way with some floor stain and furniture polish, just for appearance." "That's why I'm cautioning you, sister," replied the deacon. "Feeling a trifle faint, I helped myself to a dose from the big bottle in the middle." THE SUPREME TEST He made a great speech at a banquet. And it was the speech of his life. But when he got home next morning, It got no laugh out of his wife. They are organizing a "Better Speech Association" and it can only be hoped that it will take effect on the banquets.
