Horatius Honor. COUNTERACT FRIGHT AS TO PLAGUE News from all parts of the state is more reassuring as to status of the hoof and mouth disease among livestock. The quarantine restrictions as to travel on highways and on to access to mountains and canyons have been modified greatly to the relief and comfort of the people. It would be little short of a calamity if the people of California could not enter the wilds of the state, hiking and camping. The infected areas, of course, will be kept under quarantine as conditions warrant. The general situation, however, is much improved. It remains now for loyal, level-headed Californians to say and to do all possible to counteract the harmful stories that have been sent broadcast against the animal plague in this state. Much of this has been gross misrepresentation or exaggeration. In a frenzy of foolish alarm, some neighbor states instituted unjust and unreasonable embargoes against California soil products. Against these misapprehensions, exaggerations and hysterical moves Californians must protect this state by vigorous protest and by a campaign of enlightenment. The world should be given the exact truth about the animal plague in this state—and the truth gives no ground for unreasoning alarm. The livestock industry is not ruined in this state—far from it. Only a comparatively small fraction of the animals have become infected or have been destroyed to prevent infection. Large portions of the state have had none of the disease at all. There is probability that the epidemic will be stamped out completely within the near future. Let the world know these things. protest and by a campaign of enlightenment.

There is no nobler investment than money given to save the starving. The hoof and mouth disease, from present indications, soon will become a memory in California. It practically is under control. I cure my patients in a dragless way. Use Chiropractic, not X-ray. Osteopathy is an adjunct fine, With modern dietetics aid my line. Electric currents of all descriptions, And violet rays replace prescriptions. Substitute actinic radiations. For outdoor expensive recreations. Many a socalled immovable joint; I restore to grace, remember this point; And by some other manipulation, May save you many an operation. With those same methods to restore your health, The way is opened to enjoy your wealth. Dr. G. A.

Hundreds of Layne & Bowler Pumps have been in continuous operation for ten years or more. Irrigators select our pumps because they know that in the long run they are the most economical—requiring fewer repairs and least attention. A factor contributing to the long life of our pumps is the oiling system. The Layne method of oil transmission to the bearings throut the pump is unquestionably the most satisfactory ever devised. Its excellence is better comprehended by the fact that it has been in successful use for more than twenty years. It protects the bearings from sand and water and maintains proper lubrication at all friction points. The use of an enclosed transmission tube prevents water and sand from touching either the shaft or the bearings and as the tube is constantly filled with oil it effectively reduces friction and wear on the shaft and bearings to a minimum. There is absolutely no chance of sand cutting out the bearings and the pump can be operated successfully in wells yielding an amount of sand and foreign substances that would quickly cut out the bearings in pumps using other methods of lubrication. Don't Delay Ordering If you place your order for a pump immediately we can make prompt delivery even though our factory is operating to capacity. We shall be pleased to send descriptive literature.

Death isn't without compensation. That's one way to get your bonus. Progressive baldness simplifies life. It isn't so difficult to count six hairs. An indeterminate sentence is any one written by the late William James. You can always pick the weaker side in a controversy. It gets madder about a joke. No man would be conceited if his stomach could express its honest opinion of his wisdom. A surgeon can remove fat, or you can remove it yourself by hustling to pay his bill. And if those who inherit the earth are not meek, the deficits will teach them to be. Some chaps feel like regular men, and some are required to go shopping with their wives. The loudest patriots invariably are those who are willing to have you die for their country. The little fellow must come across until he learns to incorporate and issue himself stock dividends. Girls still have the cunning of the first kiss, but the thrill of the first long skirt is gone forever. No buddy'll question our motives if we attend our own business. DINNER STORIES Sometimes the use of a diplomatic method defeats its own purpose, as in the case of the old fellow who was enthusiastic in praise of the busy lawyer from whose office he had just come, after a purely social call.

The experience of man has that too much government bad as too little government strike an equal balance great task of all peoples and armaments of today. Much woes andills of the old world be attributed to extremes manifested on one or the side of the scale. Fortunate of the new world, the States and Canada, are the eat day exemplars of that, and reason so essential to guard the rights and promote interests of the people. Has a Big Program? "It is not true that the can trade union movement without a social economic critical program. Its recently half a century is best onrated by reference to the dittions of life and toll of time as compared with theent day. Its purpose is to for still higher standards an enlarging opportunities lives of all peoples. It is much concerned as to which administer the affairs of that the affairs of state administered justly, fairly, finally, democratically. It is much concerned as to owof property as that title city shall not be perverted the enlavement of the mass rather, be used to serve terrest and well being masses." "The American labor movel believes that the problems can be best solved and that nation progresses most rapidly if the state desuperimpose itself upon rights of man and if the usual citizens are permitted certain those fashionable right unturily to work out their tion. Hence it does not main reliance upon parliament or legislative action for the tion of labor's problems. The great human and power of the masses organi expressed in a collective secrer is far superior in the of the problems of life and It is for that reason ththe American Federation of Labor approves both class or cas trolled governments." you can remove it yourself by hustling to pay his bill.

The loudest patriots invariably are those who are willing to have you die for their country. The little fellow must come across until he learns to incorporate and issue himself stock dividends. Common people are those who belong to the hope that each new "liberator" will let them in on the deal. A republic is a land in which the swelling of a bank account is quickly communicated to the head. If you knock a man people will say you're jealous of him. If you praise him they'll say you're his hired press agent. A conservative is one who fights to maintain an advanced position won by the progressive he so bitterly condemned yesterday. The idealist who scolds because government policies are not attractive seldom fails to take a profit when dealing with his friends. A physical director says the race is becoming more supple. No doubt union suits and upper berths have something to do with it.

"That fellier, for a busy man," he declared earnestly, "is one of the pleasantest chaps I ever did meet. Why, I dropped in on him just to pass the time o' day this morning, an' I hadn't been chat-tin with im mor'n five minutes before he'd told me three times to come and see him again." "I don't like a friend to domineer over me," said the young man with the patient disposition. "Who has been doing that." "My room-mate. He borrowed my dress-suit." "That's taking liberties." "I don't mind it but when he asked for my umbrella, I told him I might want to use it myself. But he got it just the same." "How?" "He simply said: 'Have your own way; they're your clothes that I'm trying to keep from getting spoiled, not mine.'"

There can be no material success or personal distinction so great as to wholly overcome marked weakness of character. Neither the outward observance of religious form, nor the mask of generous patronage can protect the individual against the judgment of society. Indeed, the known hypocrite is more vulnerable than is the person of no moral pretenses. If this be true of the individual in private life, how much more applicable should it be to the servant in public office? It is trite to repeat that a public office is a public trust. But it is deviation from this unwritten law that brings discredit and humiliation to governments and peoples. The public servant who is not scrupulously honest, who does not respect both individual and official standards of action and deportment, injures not only himself, but those he serves. He discrends the system of government adopted by the people. He breaks down confidence in public service generally. He weakens the fabric of society. But with all its demoralizing effect, it is better to bring to fight the derelictions of public officials, and to bring such officials to the bar of judgment, than to cover misdeeds in public service. The oil scandal in Washington is merely revelation on a larger scale than usual. Such revelations are frequent in state and local governments. When they are met in the right spirit they may be made to serve a wholesome purpose. They expose a political disease it is not sufficient in the handling of disease of any kind, merely to cure the "zease"; the aim constantly should be to prevent or lessen the possibility of its recurrence. The feverish discussion of the deplorable scandal now claiming the attention of Congress provokes many reflections indirectly related to these exposures. Morally, is it any worse to sell the power of office directly for a stipulated price or to accept pay for influence achieved while in office, than it is to advocate measures known to be harmful to the people, to employ false but specious arguments to fool and defraud the taxpayers? Is not the denying of good service for what is regarded as good politics a betrayal of public trust? The cost of some such betrayals in the past has been so stupendous as to make the "considerations" in the old deals seem ridiculously trifling. Yet members of Congress do not seem to think much about the practice of playing politics at the expense of the people.
