EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Mine are the tears that comfort all the aching; Mine the rejoicings of the world to share; The promise of the sleep and of the waking— And what is less than those I well may spare. —Carl Spencer. SEASON OF WEDDINGS IS AT HAND AGAIN June is here. Wedding announcements again are thick as leaves in Valombrosa. The first publication of the Plain Dealer in the month carried eight wedding stories in the society columns and several others are on the calendar for the near future. It is the age-old story of love and mating. It is as the race—and yet as new as the latest case of connubial bliss. Marriage, as an institution, has undergone many vicissitudes. It has evolved into its status today. There are defects—many of them. The cynics and the pessimists profess to see decadence in the marriage relation. They are ready to pronounce marriage a failure. But marriage is not a failure. As an institution, it is passing through ordeals and is exposing its mars and scars. But, if it has its flaws, so has it fine things—noble and happifying things. There are happy, faithful, beautiful marriages without number. In every community are men and women mated happily. There are many pure homes in which love reigns and in which domestic felicity is the rule, not the exception. Do not sneer at marriage. Do nothing to break down its sacralness. Let it be maintained as one of the choicest of all human relations—the symbol and counterpart of heaven on earth. If the government of this country is defective, both the fault and the remedy lie with the people. WATER CONSERVATION IS VERY IMPORTANT WATER CONSERVATION IS VERY IMPORTANT There is no occasion to be unduly alarmed over the water situation in California. The resreve supply is not so critically low that foolish fears should be nursed. But there has been enough shortage of rainfall and snowfall to call for careful conservation of water supplies. All over the state the people are being urged to draw as lightly as possible on the water reserve. Many cities and towns are limiting the amount of water that may be used in sprinkling lawns or in irrigating orchards or other crops, and designating certain hours for irrigation, to prevent loss of water by evaporation. The people should enter into this water saving movement with great earnestness. There may be other dry years to follow the season just closed. The surplus water of the state should be safeguarded as something very precious—for it is very precious. In truth, it should become habitual with Californians to conserve water supply. For the state never will have such a superabundance of water that the reserve supply can be wasted with impunity. The automobile has become a necessity, even to those of small means. Evolution of the auto is a phenomenon of this phenomenal age. In the concert of nations, Uncle Sam should not play merely the cymbals or some minor part, but should be one of the leading instrumentalists. Free Bible Lecture ON THE SUBJECT WAS JESUS GOD? BY A.

Bone is used in mah jongg, and the game has something in common with bridge. For everywhere there's rapid transit, from the cradle to the grave. But even if all men were born equally free, they couldn't be trusted with equal freedom. Nothing is impossible now except getting those hairs directly under the nostrils with a safe razor. Auto touring is a fine thing. Every patriot should taste his own country before going abroad. Another dismal failure is countryman's effort to be thrilled by the night life of a wicked city. His sweetie pronounces him "sheik"; highbrows pronounce him "shake"; regular guys pronounce him an ass.

Crooked, decayed teeth interfere with mastication and proper mastication interferes with digestion and the general health. You never know how many friends you have until you die; they begin to advise your widow. In the old days she still was sitting sipper tea at about the same age she now demands high-heeled ones. America's birth rate last year was lower, which would indicate that the coming generation knew something of disertation.

Would unexpected unemployment or adversity find you among the dependents. When you reach old age will you be independent or will your relatives, friends or the public have to take care of you? Studies made in various parts of the country at different periods during the past 50 years, show that from 80 to 90 per cent of our people leave no relations at the time of their death, and only a comparatively small additional number leave accumulations of any appreciable amount. An examination of court records in a large Eastern city, showed that 80 per cent of the adults who died during the period under investigation left no estates at all; that more than 92 per cent left less than $1,000 and that more than 98 per cent left less than $10,000. Another investigation revealed that 3 per cent of all persons 65 years of age were independent or self-sustaining. Every careful inquiry of the kind has revealed that a large percentage of our people are wholly or almost entirely dependent on current wages or salaries for their livelihood, and that unexpected unemployment would render their conditions deplorable. Cold figures are of value only when we study their significance. The brief array of statistics here employed is quickly suggestive of thousands of human interest stories of men and women who have frittered away their earnings dur- The easy use to cook wick control no fire to lay concentrated heat Just turn up t wick, touch a mat —and the meal started!

He had been away for many working on a jonely farm. Therefore he was not used the telephone system. In fact, and never used one before. Directly he arrived in the city thought it would be a good to ring up his wife. Entering a booth, he lifted the receiver demanded: "Want to speak to my wife." The operator's voice came quietly from the other end of the number, please?" she queried. Well," he replied, slightly puzzled "she's my second, if you know."

Persons who have not given the subject of advertising serious thought may be inclined to believe that standard products could be sold cheaper if the manufacturers did not spend so much money in advertising them. The contrary is the truth. Every concern which seeks a general market for its goods finds it necessary to set aside a certain sum each year for advertising, and this is charged as a part of the operating expense, the same as rent, fuel or insurance. The aim of the advertising manager is to buy the largest possible circulation among persons who would be interested in his product. Every manufacturer has certain fixed charges which must be paid out of the receipts from the business, and the larger the volume of business that can be created the less per article is charged for the payment of overhead costs. This volume of business is obtained only by creating a demand for the goods, and it is most quickly and cheaply done by direct appeal through the newspapers. The same principle which obtains in the case of the general advertiser could be applied in the business of the smaller merchant. The quicker the turnover which a dealer is able to make the sooner his profit is obtained and the cash is put in the till for new purchases. Advertising of the practical kind will help to make quicker sales and more frequent profits. The result is that the retailer, with the aid of the general advertiser, is able to maintain standard prices and quality in the widely advertised articles.
