HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS URGED Kindness toward animals should be the accustomed treatment from all. But, regrettable to contemplate, there is not so much of this gentle spirit toward animals as there should be. Hence it is deemed advisable each year to devote one week especially to impressing upon all teh duty and the beauty of being kind to animals. The person of real refinement needs no urging to do this. Being kind to these voiceless friends of the inanimate world is instinctive with them. The reward is in one's own satisfaction in ministering to the helpless beings and in protecting them from abuse and harm. Perhaps it is erroneous to speak of animals as "voiceless". For the grateful animal has a voice all its own, and oftentimes there is more sincere gratitude from an animal than there is from a human being. The loyalty and faithfulness of domesticated animals is proverbial. This loyalty and fidelity on the part of animals earns for them the kindly consideration of man. There is especial call to Californians, at this time, to be kind to animals. A dreadful disease is prevalent in the state. Against its ravages the co-operative efforts of all the people should be given. In protecting animals in and about the home from acquiring or carrying this disease help is given toward conquering the devastating malady which is attacking the herds of the state.

In protecting animals in and about the home from acquiring or carrying this disease help is given toward conquering the devastating malady which is attacking the herds of the state. HELP IN FIGHT TO SAVE LIVESTOCK In the serious situation that exists in this and some other parts of the state with reference to the dread foot and mouth disease among animals, the public should be duly concerned without becoming unduly alarmed. In other words, there is need for manifestation of good common sense. There also is urgent need for close co-operation of the people with the quarantine authorities. Any quarantine, at any time, is annoying. It is in the very nature of things that it should be. But, if faithfully observed, a quarantine regulation need not be in effect long. Therefore, the surest way to end the quarantine in this county and section is to work with the authorities and assist in stamping out the disease as quickly as possible. It would be disastrous to California to have this fearful malady spread widely. With earnest, sincere co-operation on the part of everyone—whether owner of Hivestock or not—this destructive disease soon should be eradicated, and then the quarantine would be lifted and normal conditions prevail.

ABE MARTIN Copyright Abe Martin On DINNER STORIES Norman has made his last appearance in the social whirl for this season, or at least until a certain matron by the name of Curtis has had time to cool off and let her better-forgiving nature assert itself. It happened at a dance at the club. Norman found that he had a certain dance with Mrs. Curtis. Mrs. Curtis is considerably above the average in weight. Then, on top of this fact, she did not舞 well. Now, Norman dislikes fat women and detests to dance with poor dancers. So he proposed to Mrs. Curtis that they sit out the dance. They were watching the other dancers, when Norman rather absently, as much to make some effort at conversatoin as anything, observed: "Isn't Miss Rogers pretty? So tall, and slender, and graceful!" Oh, I suppose so," Mrs. Curtis agreed, rather grudingly. Then Norman realized the implied comparison and blurred out: "Oh, but I like fat women, too." SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DE W. F.

FINIS GARRETT As a result of the happenings of the early sessions of congress Rep. Finis Garrett, Democrat from Tennessee, looms up as one of the leading figures in the present session. Garrett, as Democratic floor leader, will take a leading part in the fight for revisions of rules, demanded by the progressives. The two-day deadlock in the house over the selection of a speaker resulted in a partial victory for the Republican progressive, who finally permitted the election of Rep. Gillett on the promise of several concessions, including the opportunity to alter the rules of procedure "radically." Then Garrett announced that the Democrats would join with the "radicals" in seeking changes. Garrett is starting his tenth session in the house. He was born in 1875 near Ore Springs, Tenn. He was educated at the common school and at Bethel college, receiving his degree in 1897. For a brief period after his graduation he taught school in Milan, Tenn. Later he studied law in the offices of Charles M. Ewing of Decrest under the personal instruction of Ewing himself. In 1889 he was admitted to the bar. He was appointed in chancery in 1900 and served until 1905. Then he started on his political career and was elected to the 69th congress and has been re-elected to every congress since. Garrett was married in 1901 to Elizabeth Burns of McKenzie, Tenn. The family home is in Dresden, Tenn. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying HISTORY PUT INTO FILMS—Boston Herald A screen version of American history, from Columbus to Apomattox, prepared with the sanction of Yale University and under the direction of the Yale Press, and exhibited in the usual manner in moving picture theaters throughout the country, is an enterprise to be welcomed in the history of the films. The preparation is done under the auspices of a great American university with the aid of scholars whose names guarantee the utmost effort to attain accuracy of scenery, costume and action, and to select for the series the episodes of greatest significance in the history of the Nation. The presentation is made on a large scale, with sympathetic interest in the end the university has in view and in the hope that the public will support these "Chronicles of America Photo-Plays" sufficiently well to encourage the production of other films of an educational nature. The possibilities of such pictures for the inspiration of the young are evident and enormous. The Yale Press publishes the well known series of historical works known as "The Chronicles of America." The profits of that business venture have been employed in financing this pictorial representation of the events those histories describe. One play has to do with Columbus, another with Jamestown and so through the centuries to the culminating scene in the Civil War. To hold a "movie audience" and at the same time teach authentic history, it is necessary not only to consult students of the past, but trained actors and managers who understand the necessities of dramatic representation. This, we are informed, has been done. This is the most ambitious effort yet made to use the motion pictures for teaching purposes. The subjects chosen are precisely those that ought to appeal to the average American and to thrill the average school boy and girl. The names of the sponsors guarantee that commercial considerations are not primarily thought of. Certainly the multitudes who throng the movies should have thus an opportunity to learn the outstanding events of our history in a universal language. THE WOMAN ON THE JURY A reader, whose wife was drawn to serve on a jury, writes as follows: The saddest words of tongue or pon But she is of judicial mind, Like all the others of her kind. I mutter, like all other men: "My wife is on the jury." I must stay at home and mind the kids And do whatever my wife bids, For she is on the jury. CERTAINLY THE MULTITUDES WHO THRONG THE MOVIES SHOULD HAVE THUS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE OUTSTANDING EVENTS OF OUR HISTORY IN A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. THE WOMAN ON THE JURY A reader, whose wife was drawn to serve on a jury, writes as follows: The saddest words of tongue or pen I mutter, like all other men: "My wife is on the jury." I must stay at home and mind the kids And do whatever my wife bids, For she is on the jury. For when she hears the call of state, She beats it from the old home plate In patriotic fury. And leaves the dishes in the sink. In years gone by ne'er did I think That she'd be on a jury. But she is of judicial mind. Like all the others of her kind. I've known that since I wed her. And judgments rendered from her throne, And couched in language quite her own, I never have galussaid her. I pity all the lawyers who Will try to put their throkes through With oratorical fury And try to make black look like white. They'll have to talk all day and night When my wife's on the jury.
