Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS We quaff our fill of beauty, peace, delight; But, 'mid the entrancing scene a still voice saith, "If earth, Heaven's shadow, shows a face so bright, What of God's summer past the straits of deaths?" —Paul Hamilton Hayne. NAVY EXPLANSION URGED BY MR. WILBUR Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy, is an ardent advocate of a strong, efficient American navy. "I stand absolutely for a 100 per cent navy, the equal, at least, in every respect of any power on land or sea." This is significant. And these words by Secretary Wilbur also are significant: Although I say at least 100 per cent equality, I see no reason why we should not undertake also to advance our Navy along lines not restricted by mutual agreement so that we will again be in a dominating situation, and then again secure mutual limitations on all activities along lines at present unrestricted by any treaty. The building of cruisers and other auxiliary craft is not limited by Arms Conference agreements. Secretary Wilbur's thought is, that if the United States greatly strengthened itself along these lines and then summoned another Arms Conference—as President Coolidge advocated, in a recent speech,—foreign powers would be disposed to listen to proposals for additional limitation of naval armaments. Secretary Wilbur is not a militarist, by any means. He is not advocating a strong navy for aggressive purposes. Quite the contrary. He holds that the stronger the United States Navy is, within the bounds of agreed limitations, the less probability that the American naval power would have to be used in war. It is the strength of this country that appeals to other powers and impels them to listen to its urging of restrictions of armaments. Strength has the appeal that weakness could not have.

The United States, for example, has influence upon other powers that China could not possibly have, in its present defenseless state. AERIAL MAIL SERVICE TO BE SWIFTER Of great interest to the Pacific Coast is announcement from Washington that air mail service is to be expanded this year, beginning July 1. Mail between San Francisco and New York is to be delivered in thirty-five hours. This time will be reduced to twenty-four hours, within a few months, said. With the establishment of this great direct through service between the oceans will come the extension of the air mail to cities not in the line of this direct service. Mail may be sent to the nearest point in touch with the through air mail, and from that point be dispatched by air. This should facilitate the transit of mail matter from any part of the country, for long distance. The air mail has come to stay. It will expand gradually, but surely. The one through line from coast to coast soon will be supplemented by cross lines and laterals, connecting all parts of the country with transcontinental air mails. This will mean revolutionizing of the mail service within a few years. It will bring the uttermost limits of the country within reach of any other part of the country by mail, within twenty-four hours—one of the miracles of modern times.

So live that it never will be necessary to court the fullest investigation. No woman can really love the kind of man who says her new hat is "perfectly darling." Trained domestic servants make good wives if they can find servants to do the work. A broad-minded and intelligent man is one whose prejudices match yours. It will seem odd to scorn the League and then furnish chairmen for a few standing committees. A man brags to his wife for the same reason that he once whistled when passing a cemetery at night.

There are few European nations that would reject any proposition that included a cash loan. The one thing that shakes a Progressive's faith in the ability of the people to govern themselves is defeat for the nomination. Naturalization doesn't make him a real American unless he learns to call new-comers "darned furriens." Wild life is disappearing and home life is disappearing. About all that is left is wotta life.

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying FAIRMS OF CALIFORNIA PROFITABLE—Riverside Press Boom figures have been published from time to time showing returns from California farms and orchards to be larger than in other states of the Union. Some of these figures have been questioned as not being fairly representative, and perhaps right so. But reports made by a national farm bureau organization must be conceded to be fair and unbiased and really representative. Such a report was recently made public by the American Farm Bureau Federation, whose department of research has been collating figures for every state in the Union. The result is most convincing as showing that California farmers are enjoying a greater degree of prosperity than those in the majority of the states in the Union. The cash income per farm in California is very large, amounting to $4456 in 1922-1923. The ratio of sales to fixed capital investment is slightly higher than the average for the country, being 21.8 per cent in 1919 as compared with 21.1 per cent for the United States. The income is distributed among a considerable number of individual products, and a very large proportion is of those commodities which are sold chiefly on the domestic market and go direct to the consumer in their original form. As a result, farm income is relatively stable in California. In the slump between 1919 and 1921, the total sales income declined but some 30 per cent whereas the average for all states was 50 per cent. Last year the total gross cash income of California farms was $524,000,000. Of this amount crops brought in 322,-000,000, equal to 62.5 per cent, livestock $75,000,000, equal to 14 per cent, and animal products $117,000,000, or 22.5 per cent. Although crops in the aggregate outranged other products, the greatest single item of farm income was represented by dairy products. The most important commercial products are grapes, orchard fruits, subtropical fruits, cattle, poultry products, vegetables, barley, wheat, hay, beans, rice, potatoes and hogs. Agriculture in California is still an expanding industry. Between 1910 and 1920, the number of farms increased from 88,000 to 118,000. The value of lands and buildings from $1,450,000 to $3,074,000. The rural population grew from 908,000 to 1,095,000. The improved acreage in farms increased slightly from 11,400,000 to 11,300,000 acres. The acreage per farm declined from 129 to 101 acres. Farm income grew at an extremely rapid pace, total Miss Sherwin was first chairm of the Women's Committee Council of National Defense Cleveland, a member of the vendor's war advisory board, later coming chairman of the wonner's committee in the state council of National Defense, which headquarters at Columbus.

The improved acreage in farms increased slightly from 11,400,000 to 11,300,000 acres. The acreage per farm declined from 129 to 101 acres. Farm income grew at an extremely rapid pace, total cash sales in 1909 mounting to $170,000,000; in 1919 they were almost four times as high at $670,000,000. The sales income per farm family in the same ten years increased from $1927 to $5684. Fruits and nuts, dairy and poultry products, and cattle, were chiefly responsible for this noteworthy expansion. Increased income was brought about chiefly by higher prices for products and secondary by higher yields in some products such as walnuts, grapes and orchard fruits. There was some addition to acreage of certain products, notably wheat, subtropical fruits, walnuts and almonds. The number of dairy cows on farms increased from 452,000 to 614,000. The number of meat animals also increased, and poultry very nearly doubled. This decade witnessed the introduction of rice culture and the rise of cotton to a position of some importance.
