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 old 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 happily 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 sacredness. 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. ful, beautiful marriages without number. In every community are men and women mated happily.

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.

A LITTLE Talk on Thrift By S. W. STRAUS, President American Society for Thrift. Are you a drifter? 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 estates 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 89 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.

Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying DEVELOP AGRICULTURAL TRAINING—Berkeley Gazette Although a state of diversified resources, California is primarily agricultural and its importance as such is rapidly becoming recognized throughout the world. One striking evidence of that fact is indicated by the attention our land colonization undertakings have attracted and which have brought representatives of a number of foreign nations to study our methods, not only of colonization, but of agriculture as well. Long recognizing the transcending importance of our agricultural interests and anticipating the demands of the future with the opening of additional agricultural lands together with the growing demand upon California from other states and neighboring nations the University o f California authorities have been persistently and steadily developing that department in our great state institution to which California must look for its advanced farmers and for the solution of its agricultural problems. Not content with a university farm and numerous experimental stations, the university regents have been steadily developing and centralizing agricultural activities at the university in this city, the latest move being the appointment of Dr. Elmer Drew Merrill, one of the world's most distinguished scientists and an authority on agriculture and botany as dean of the College of Agriculture. The president and regents of the university have devoted much time and study to the selection of a successor to Dean Hunt, and in announcing the appointment of Dr. Merrill they express much satisfaction in obtaining the services of the distinguished scientist. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the importance of agriculture and this is being demonstrated through the program for the development of that department or the university. ADVERTISING PROFITS ALL AROUND—San Bernardino Sun 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 expenses, 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.

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.
