The poets, for they teach the people to sing. The physicians, for they are overcomers of pain. The mothers, for they are partners with God. The little children, for they keep the world glad.

CONSERVING WATER IS VITAL NEED While there is no ground for exaggerated alarm—which would be hurtful to the state—over conservation of water supply, yet there is urgent need to save water. It may be many months before copious rains come to the lowlands and heavy snows to the highlands of the state. Prudence dictates that the people should husband this precious and vital asset—the reserve water supply. The present protracted dry period should be a godsend re California. It should impress a lesson upon all the people that never should be forgotten. Water must be conserved—not only this year, but in all the years to come. If there is not conservation there inevitably will be disaster. There must be gigantic dams for the control of floods waters. The precipitation which Nature sends so bountifully must be imprisoned and held for the essential uses of man. There must be no prodigal wasting of this necessity of life. Enough rain and snow fall over this state to provide all the surplus water that is required. All that is needed is to conserve. This is the solemn responsibility that rests upon the people and their constituted legal representatives. Good deeds ring clear through Heaven like a bell. —Jean Paul Richter. COMMERCE GAINS WITH LATIN AMERICA America's trade with Latin America is increasing steadily. Enough rain and snow fall over this state to provide all the surplus water that is required. All that is needed is to conserve. This is the solemn responsibility that rests upon the people and their constituted legal representatives. Good deeds ring clear through Heaven like a bell. —Jean Paul Richter. COMMERCE GAINS WITH LATIN AMERICA America's trade with Latin America is increasing steadily. It passed beyond $1,500,000,000 in eleven months of the last fiscal year—a substantial gain over the previous year. The United States sold more heavily to Latin America and bought more lightly in the eleven months under review than is usual, thus giving this country the benefit of a nearer balancing of the volume of imports and exports. Latin America is buying commodities from the United States in excess of $600,000,000 annually. This is a huge volume of trade. The value of America's purchases from Latin America is nearly $1,000,000,000 annually. This huge commerce is destined to increase and to develop colossally. This country is holding, in very gratifying measure, the vast trade with Latin America which it developed during the World War, when commerce with Europe was precarious and almost paralyzed. Latin America, during that period, came into closer touch with the United States, commercially, than ever before. This country, it seems, is retaining, in generous measure the trade advantages it then acquired. Be cautious with fire. Save water and save the state from disaster. Assurance comes from the White House there is to be no extra session of Congress. This is encouraging and reassuring to the country. The people feel better off—especially in a campaign year—with Congress adjourned than with it in session. While the campaign managers are planning, the voters are thinking. Wise is the campaign manager who recognizes the thoughtful mood of the voter and who appeals to the thoughtful.

PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN Lunch is something an executive consumes while killing two cats. Some people respect divine beings, and some use salt on warm melon. Huabands are people who pre-dundit to be thinking when they are merely pouting. Never destroy a lumpy old matress. Some farmer can use it for summer boarder. In some respects the world improves little, but you very selenly see a horse-hair soft. The world hasn't yet seen a man important as a rich man in a small town feels. One fine thing about using a medicab is that you can feel neural when the fenders crumble. There is yet much good Ameri-ism in districts where they produce "hysteresis" "highsterics." Low-class Japs sullenly cuss America, but the big boys smile neatly and plan a bigger navy. "Nerves" are things you have if you aren't kept busy enough to think about yourself. The Olympic games are per-ending many people to get down at the atlas and see where Finland is. Yet every time you get a thrill to sacrifice the capacity for bear-thrilled in the same way rain. An eye-witness can remember trails of the crime for six months there is a good lawyer to prompt him.

"I certainly do," replied the customer rising from the table, after his meal. "Well, a gentleman who was here yesterday gave me a dollar tip," said the waiter, looking sideways. "Oh, well," said the patron, buttoning up his coat to leave. "perhaps he will be in again today." The late John Scribner, a member of the New York bar generation ago, was totally bald. Speaking to Joseph H. Choate one day about the approaching marriage of one of the Vanderbilt to a foreign nobleman, he remarked, "It would be absurd to give a Vanderbilt a costly gift. I should like to find something not intrinsically valuable, but interesting because it is rare." "Nothing easier, John," Mr. Choate replied. "Just send her a lock of your hair." Seeing the family doctor pass ing, Mrs. Green called him in and inquired: "Have you some medicine suitable for apoplexy?" "Why yes, I think so," answered the doctor. "Kindly be seated," said the woman. "But where is the case of apoplexy?" "It will happen in a minute." "I don't understand," said the puzzled physician. "As soon as my husband comes in I am going to ask him for a little extra money." DORMS THAT LAW A SUN-DAY HYMN Lord of all being, thronged afar, Thy glory flames from sun and star; Centre and soul of every sphere. If a German loan war in America, he said, "considered as being good will never be lashed under international bonds satisfied with its provisions have good reason to be it is sound. This will rest in their opinion the Dawes has been made operational circumstances that will success, that satisfactoryments have been made withdrawal of France from the Ruhr peace is assured in so far an accomplishment is possible." "Laws which have been since the armistice to come from misled masse made life difficult in many tries, and our own Unit has not escaped. In consequence in our state legislature bills have been passed only added to the burden people." He believed that this which would come after had returned to normal and commercial conditions allay these tendencies.

Sun of our life, thy quickening ray Sheds on our path the glow of day: Star of our hope, thy softened light Cheers the long watches of the night.

In the adoption of the Dawes plan by the Allies lays the salvation of Europe, avers Fred L-Kent, president of the Bankers' Trust Co., of New York City and a member of the committee of experts which devised the plan, and failure to put it into effect would mean disaster to finance, trade and commerce. He declared in an address that if the plan was not carried out the reaction on business in the U.S. would be "more severe than anything" which has happened since the war." The plan carries within it so much common sense that it is hardly conceivable that sufficient force can be arranged against it to prevent its being put into operation." The diverse political forces which must first be brought into accord to assure an international loan to Germany, if the plan is to be effective, are the chief obstacles in the way of its adoption, according to Mr. Kent. He predicted that if the plan was put into operation stability of currency would be restored to European countries and normal international trade resumed. "If the plan were refused, France and Belgium would continue their hold upon the Ruhr," he continued. "All European exchanges would be subjected to further severe shocks. Trade and commerce would be dealt terrific blow, and might for a time be confined to necessities and the progress toward better conditions which have been made since the armistice might be dissipated almost overnight. "Should the Dawes report be accepted by the Allies and Germany and become operative, a very different set of conditions can be expected to prevail. The object of the Dawes plan is to place Germany in position to stabilize its currency and balance its budget and undertake the payment of reparations under conditions which will not result in another breakdown and that will allow Germany to resume her production, trade and commerce on a sound basis and one which can COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying EDUCATIONAL FILMS—Scottish Rite News Bureau The use of educational films in schools is on the increase. The demand has been held ephemeral by many producers, but it has kept up so steadily and become so insistent that many companies are finding it pays better to produce them to sell to schools than to engage in the making of plays, which have at best but a short life. Visual education has always been recognized as a powerful aid in the acquiring of knowledge. Actual travel is better than the illustrated lecture; the chemical experiment performed is worth a dozen read about in books. The motion picture, so lifelike, is worth any quantity of illustrations; its showing of processes beats any possible description. Educators are naturally, and rightly, conservative. The educational world has learned to beware the fad, the fancy, the radical idea in teaching. Some are still averse to the motion picture, but their number is decreasing. The fact that conservative educators find the film a real help is the best argument why school boards should see to it that schools are equipped with projectors and that the higher type of producers should provide that the supply of educational films becomes inexhaustible. After all is said, the real work of the world is providing for its continuance and its betterment. That means making citizens out of children, educated men and women out of students. There is no more important work before any of us than that; conquest, invention, commerce, exploration, discovery, are all less important than the people who will one day carry on the torch we pass to their hands. Let us then, do our part in emphasizing the need of more and better educational films, travel films, scientific films; let us insist that our children's school be equipped with a suitable projector and screen, that our children have the utmost in benefit from one of the great inventions of the nineteenth century, which is only now, in the twentieth, coming into full fruition. /HIKING BECOMING OBSOLETE—Fresno Republican What has become of the daily constitutional? How many, in fact of those who read this know just what is meant by a constitutional? There was a time before the "daily dozen" became an accepted phrase, when the daily constitutional, of anything up to ten miles, or even more, was well understood. Those were the days before it was polite to speak of "legs", but legs were actually used, by both men and women, much more than now, when presumably they can be mentioned in mixed company. Whether one's legs are to be used in hiking, or just in the friendly stroll down street or lane, the thing, true, is not as easy as it once was. The motor car has put a peril into the wayside equal to that of the mediaeval bandit. The horse gave reasonable notice of his approach. The auto gives virtually none at all. There may be romance, as much as ever, for the wayfarer, but there is much less safety. A reasonable amount of danger adds to the tang of adventure, but certain death sends its shadows too gloomily before to encourage the quest for romance afoot. And yet it is a pity that the sensitive individual cannot caught out walking without a suspicion that he has lost his fortune and can no longer afford a car. And that the poor but proud, like the most willful villain indoors than they can "Should the Dawes report be accepted by the Allies and Germany and become operative, a very different set of conditions can be expected to prevail. The object of the Dawes plan is to place Germany in position to stabilize its currency and balance its budget and undertake the payment of reparations under conditions which will not result in another breakdown and that will allow Germany to resume her production, trade and commerce on a sound basis and one which can be expected to continue." If a German loan was offered in America, he said, "it can be considered as being good, for it will never be issued until American international bankers are satisfied with its provisions and have good reason to believe that it is sound. This will mean that in their opinion the Dawes plan has been made operative under circumstances that will insure its success, that satisfactory arrangements have been made as to the withdrawal of France and Belgium from the Ruhr and that peace is assured in so far as such an accomplishment is possible." Laws which have been passed since the armistice that have come from misled masses have made life difficult in many countries, and our own United States has not escaped. In congress, and in our state legislatures, many bills have been passed that have only added to the burdens of our people. He believed that the charge which would come after Europe had returned to normal financial and commercial conditions would allay these tendencies. NEW FEED STORE!
