How much more august and solemn is life!— Richard S. Storrs. PARCEL POST EXPANDS TO FOREIGN TRADE The American parcel-post system is expanding immensely. It is being used extensively by exporters. A total of $2,000,000 of export business per month—or about $25,000,000 annually—is carried by parcel post. Clothing and dry goods comprise the greater volume of the shipments. Besides, optical goods and jewelry are sent in this manner in great quantities. The parcel post is a great convenience and value to the average American. It has steadily grown, since its establishment, and the field of its usefulness constantly is widening. A great deal of retail business is done by parcel post. Stores in cities and towns—not mail-order stores, but ordinary business establishments—do much business by parcel post. Better delay the completion of the world flight than wantonly to endanger the lives of the American aviators.

Lieutenant Wade was luckless enough to have his machine wrecked while braving the furious elements between the Orkneys and Iceland. This mishap came after the intrepid flyer had covered some 19,000 miles of the historic flight around the world. It would be out of place to let this gallant aviator miss the thrill of finishing the flight with his brave companions. Hence the order that he shall have a machine, when he reaches Nova Scotia, in which to come in the triumphal journey across the continent, to the place of beginning. There has been a great deal of chivalry in connection with the several attempts to fly around the world. The American aviators showed chivalrous spirit in lending assistance to Major MacLaren the British flyer, when he was in distress in the Orient. He since has been put out of the competitive race by the wrecking of his airplane. The American flyers have shown themselves to be gallant, modest gentlemen, upholding in their conduct and demeanor, the best traditions of American manhood. Political parties are to be measured not only by their promises, but by their fulfillments. Great numbers of Americans eat themselves to death. Overeating is one of the deadly intemperances of the age. America's trade with Latin America is of huge volume. It is worth cultivating. It would increase greatly, under proper impulse. Educate children morally. Good morals cannot come from a child untrained in morals. Moral principles must be inculcated, or an unprincipled generation will come forth. There is no good reason to feel pessimistic over present economic conditions in this country, or over prospects. The outlook is very hopeful. And the present has its thriving also. Mother! "Guard the child's teeth" Those tiny teeth are a priceless gift — guard them well! PARAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLEN Few men are broad enough to understand both golf and a wife. If might be wiser on September 12 to assemble our maimed war veterans. One third of the world's wealth is in hysterical circulation. America has it. "Murder isn't debatable," said Roosevelt. But he hadn't listened to lawyers much. How quickly news travels! Our baker has learned that the wheat farmer is saved. This country needs no more people, anyway, except perhaps a few more effective southpaws. In the old days everybody gave way before the king, but now nobody is treated that way except a truck driver. About the time a man is fit for self-government, he yearns to govern the other fellow. A brave man is a doctor who attends a case of nerves and prescribes a regular job. One queer thing about the row in Brazil is that the Marines haven't landed yet. Still it is difficult to go wild about tax reform while taking a 25 per cent reduction. Another good way to learn self-control is to have a wife who talks in that tone of voice. The office radical says there isn't much comfort in either big party if you hate a millionaire. It sounds unreasonable, but if you travel far enough in the open you'll get to where you can't smell "Guard the child's teeth" Those tiny teeth are a priceless gift—guard them well! WRIGLEY'S is a wonderful help to keep teeth clean and sound, for it clears out the crevices, makes the mouth sweet and removes acid conditions from which most people suffer. A prominent physician says: "It is surprising how free from decay the teeth can be kept by using gum after each meal." WRIGLEY'S is good, not only for the teeth, but for the nerves and appetite and digestion, too. The whole family should use WRIGLEYS after every meal WRIGLEY'S JUICY FRUIT CHEWING GUM Sealed Tight Kept Right DIFFERENT FLAVORS SAME QUALITY It sounds unreasonable, but if you travel far enough in the open you'll get to where you can't smell hot dogs. The hardest job just at present seems to be to prove a candidate both human and safe. Even the old-fashioned girl might have co-operated more if you had needed both hands to drive. An American can talk as radically as anybody, but he calms down hurriedly when he gets authority. Funny that low guys can break out of jail when some of our best citizens seem unable to break in. Correct this sentence: "The other boarders have seen me wear this frock a dozen times," said she, "but I dodn't care." (Protected by Associated Editors, Inc.) THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. IT IS A BIG JOB! WHO'S WHAT IN THE DAYS NEWS GEN. VALERIAN WEYLER The man whose regime at vana as governor-general was mediately responsible for Spanish-American war, Valerian Weyler, has become the cenfigure of an army camearilla Spain, which wants to overthrow the dictatorship of Primo Rivera. The former autocrat Cuba is declared to be the man who can save Spain from fascism of the de Rivera and lutista. The loss of Cuba is not remembered against Keyler. Since the Spanish-American war he has engaged in politics to such advantage that he is now the real politician of the old time army chief. He is the only man in Spain who dares face de Rivera. Last May Weyler was appointed president of the supreme war council, where he sounds, in reality, between Rivera and the dictator's pose use of the army to overthrow monarchy. King Alfonso has personal fame in Gen. Weyler, and the army commander is noted for his loyalty to the royal family. Gen. Weyler, now 85 years old, is too old to take the field person in the event of civil war. Gen. Weyler's full name is Valeriano Weyler Nicalan, french Marquis of Tenerifo, Duke Rubi and Graide of Spain. Weyler has served seventy yeas in the Spanish army. He got baptism of fire in San Domín He wore an officer's uniform in Crimea and thru the Indian tiny. He was a general at 33 a marshal at 55. It was Weyler who was called upon to crush the Carlist Basque and Catalonion uprisings. The followed his Cuban service. Called, he became minister of under two premiers and then master of marine. He was naval captain general in 1910 and is last man to bear that title proud one in Spanish military history.

TAGGART'S DINNER STORIES The attorneys for the prosecution and defense had been allowed 15 minutes each to argue the case. The attorney for the defense had commenced his arguments with an allusion to the old swimming-hole of his boyhood days. He told in flowery oratory of the balmy air, the singing birds, the joy of youth, the delights of the cool water. And in the midst of it he was interrupted by the drawing voice of the judge: "Come out, Chauncey," he said, "and put on your clothes. Your 15 minutes are up." "I make a fan last 30 years," said one old Japanese miser to another on a scoring hot day. "This friend, is my method. Instead of opening a fan out all the way, I only open it out one stick at a time, so. The first stick serves me about three years. When it is quite gone I fan with the second stick—another three years. And so on to the end. Mercy, isn't it hot? "Only 30 years' use out of a good fan!" said the second miser. "Why, this fan of mine has lasted my family through two generations, and I expect to leave it to my eldest son. I, friend, never wave a fan at all. Waving a fan! What wear and tear! What extravagance! No, indeed, I open my fan out, like this, and wave my face above it in this manner." "Gracious! It is hot, I must agree!" Johnny surveyed the new arrival critically. "Ma, little brother came from heaven, didn't he?" "Yes, dear," she replied. "Well, say, Ma." "What is it, Johnny?" "I don't blame the angels for throwing him out, do you?"

Schumacher (INCUMBENT) COUNTY SUPERVISOR THIRD DISTRICT PRIMARIES, AUGUST 26 CHALLENGE BUTTER CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERS MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying RADIO'S INFLUENCE WIDESPREAD—Santa Barbara News Radio promises to exert far-reaching influence on the civilization and development of the waste places of the world. Its mysterious voice, reaching into the depths of the arctic night brings remote places into contact with the metropolitan centers. Through the influence of this wonder ray, the music of the orchestra is heard on the desert waste and the breast of the savage in the South Seas is stirred by the strains of a modern orchestra. It has been found that through the long hours of arctic night the radio can penetrate the vast stretches of the frozen north. Dwellers in districts which formerly were shut off from all connection with civilization for months at a time are now in almost daily communication with the centres of population. Music, from distant orchestras, can be heard in the far corners of the world. The news of the day, the speech of the political candidate, the sermon of the preacher, all can be relayed over seas and mountains, until the currents almost girdle the globe. The announcement that in the distant Pacific Islands, the natives are now entertained by the music sent out on the air from California stations affords a striking proof of the far reaching influence of the radio. Almost daily there are improvements in the devices which make the radio more effective and more simple. Its use in a practical way is steadily becoming the great means of communication which bridges the gaps of the sea, and shortens the roads on land. No man can tell what the future may bring forth in the development of the system of communication which ignores wires and sets distance at naught and instantly unites thousands of miles apart. This mysterious power has been called the greatest wonder of the world of all time, and who shall deny it? THE GREAT SECRET OF POWER (IBSEN'S VERSION) It has frequently been pointed out that the genius of Henrik Ibsen as a dramatist lies, not in brilliancy of language nor in epic program, but in his development of character. Witness Hedda Gabler, A Doll's House, Peer Gynt, or any other of his plays. Nevertheless his works are deeply sown with a wit that clearly epitomizes his genius. To Ibsen there were no boundaries in the world of thought. A few random quotations from his works: There is one thing in the world, that could madden us all if we allowed ourselves to think of it, and that is—the thought of THE GREAT SECRET OF POWER (IBSEN'S VERSION) It has frequently been pointed out that the genius of Henrik Ibsen as a dramatist lies, not in brilliancy of language nor in epigram, but in his development of character. Witness Hedda Gabler, A Doll's House, Peer Gynt, or any other of his plays. Nevertheless his works are deeply sown with a wit that clearly epitomizes his genius. To Ibsen there were no boundaries in the world of thought. A few random quotations from his works: There is one thing in the world that could madden us all if we allowed ourselves to think of it, and that is—the thought of what might have been. It is easier nowhere to break through all so-called prejudices than in the relations between a man and a woman. A political party is like the proverbial sausage machine, it grinds all the heads together, and therefore one gets blockheads and numskulls all in a head. Most surely is there beauty in the ordinary lives of men, though none but an artist can see and appreciate it. Against lies, calumnies, etc., dignity is the only weapon; never let anyone see that anything said by your enemies has touched you—in short act as if you did not dream you had any enemies. It is not an easy matter for a lonely woman to guard herself. Friends are a costly luxury; when a man has invested his entire capital in a calling or a mission he cannot afford to keep them. The costliness of keeping friends does not lie in what one does for them, but in what, out of regard for them, one refrains from doing. One always gains by allowing one's self to be missed. "You are a woman, and therefore you think that the call of the heart is the only thing that matters in the world; but I am a man, and one woman can always replace another." The ignorant can never adjust themselves to the unaccustomed. If the church were open all the week then the use of Sunday would be gone. Nothing is impossible to the possessor of an indomitable will. The great secret of power is never to will to do more than you can accomplish. The great secret of action and victory is to be capable of living your life without ideals. Such is the sum of the whole world's wisdom. ACCOUNTS FOR SALE The following accounts are offered by the undersigned as Agents, for sale to the highest bidder.
