Progress has been made toward greater stability. Prices in farm products have increased from 5 to 51 per cent, varying as to different products. It is noteworthy, too, that reports received by the Department of Agriculture show that the exchange value of farm products for the things that the farmers buy now stands at the highest point in nearly four years. In other words the farmers' dollar goes farther, this year, than for several years. Coupled with the fact that farmers have more dollars, this increased buying power of the dollar makes the situation much more encouraging for the farmers. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has no hesitation in saying that prospects for farmers, so far as prices are concerned, are brighter now than they have been for three or four years. This betterment of farm conditions exerts beneficial influence over the whole country. It aids and stimulates other industries, as well as agriculture. It affects business and manufacturing industry, creating increased demand for commodities. There is lull in output of really great literature. There is the usual volume of writing. But the number of truly great productions is comparatively small. FOREST AS MEMORIAL TO This betterment of farm conditions exerts beneficial influence over the whole country.

LANE A bronze tablet, characterizing the late Franklink K. Lane as a "well-beloved son of California—creative statesman in a democracy," stands in a grove of giant redwoods in Humboldt County, formally dedicated as a memorial to Mr. Lane. As Secretary of the Interior and as private citizen, Franklin K. Lane was an ardent advocate of forest conservation. He was the first president of the Save-the-Redwoods League. It is fitting indeed to honor men who thus strive so vigorously and so successfully to preserve the natural beauties and riches of the state. California, in its giant redwoods, has an asset possessed by no other state—by no other region on earth. To permit these noble trees to be destroyed would be an offense against God and man. Franklin K. Lane was a strong, influential friend and protector of the forest monarchs and thus to memorialize him as such is one of the most appropriate things that could be done. Behind every ballot, in November, should be thought, and independence, and conviction. There should be no ignorant or prejudiced ballots. Europe actually is striving for peace, and the striving is bearing fruit. There seems to be ground for hoping that extreme militarism is passing. ---ask any dealer if his car can do these things Chrysler Six Performance Chart 1.

He's the one that does the work. Science can tell you everything except the psychological moment to buy new tires. "Woman is crazy for wearing clothes that freeze her in winter," says Man, who wears clothes that roast him in summer. We like all birds, especially the one that can do that hook slide into second. There's one thing about typical cigarettes for ladies. They don't affect the price of tobacco. Others can write sea stories, but only Conrad could make you despise the hero so ardently. That chap who fell dead in a postoffice lobby doubtless found a pen that would work. It's strange how lame ducks get by. Even in the time of the flood the ducks floated. As to the House selecting a President, it can't do so darned much worse than the country. The lilted lover who blows his brains out has to be a crack shot. Hard times are those in which only 40 loafers watch a mason studying a brick before laying it. Some small boys are abnormal, but most of them spit with great frequency and proficiency. If a girl is forever falling from trees, ladders and outbuildings, she'll never be called a fallen woman. One reason why it's bad form to discuss the weather is because you can't get an argument out of it. "If a girl breaks the engagement she must return the ring." Well, if she breaks it, it isn't much ring. (Protected by Associated Editors, Inc.) ABE MARTIN Folks what used t' drop in ever' saloon they passed now only drink when there's something goin' on.

H. HOUSE BLAMES U.S. ABSENCE FOR TANGLE OVER GERMAN REPARATIONS "All this trouble existing over reparations for the past five years since the armistic would never have occurred if the United States had ratified the treaty and an American member had sat officially on the reparations commission as originally envisaged." Col. E.M. House, one of the American commissioners at the Versailles Peace conference, said in an interview. "Through the absence of an American official delegate with a vote we have seen the reparations commission constantly deadlocked through the preponderance of French influence, owing to the fact that the president of the commission, who has always been a Frenchman, is entitled to an additional vote because of his office. "Germany would have been more conciliatory and made greater efforts to execute the reparations commission's directions if an American had been a member of the commission which handles the matter. "We all agree that France is entitled to complete reparations for war damages inflicted, but since it is physically impossible to obtain them, the French must realize that the best possible is to obtain the maximum possible." Without public opinion solidly in favor of carrying out the Dawes plan, it never will go thru and I am informed and believe the German people must have some definite date, even though it be remote, for the Ruhr evacuation after they show their good faith and honest efforts to make reparations payments. "The big problem after reparations is security, and I endorse H. H. Asquith's proposition for a series of mutual agreements between the various allies, including Germany, under the League of Nations. Germany must be put into the league—give her a permanent place in the council—it cannot be denied that she is one of the world's great powers. "Germany should be bridled by membership in the league and adhesion to the covenant, and its obligations. This security would her family while ther progress, being admirable permission of the part."

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEW! COUNT LASZLO SZECHENYI Reports from Hungary, now in political chaos, states that a movement is well under way to restore the monarchy there, and Grown Count Laszlo Szecenyi, now Hungarian ambassador to Washington, king. Such a move, if achieved, would automatically make the former Gladys Vanderbilt, an American woman, a queen of one of Europe's realms. The report brings as much interest to New York social circles as it does to Washington and political and diplomatic circles. The count married Miss Vanderbilt in 1908. His coming to Washington as ambassador created a social flutter. The count served in the army of his native land during the war, and his wife was known as a hospital "angel." She gave personal service for the wounded, and was the most pathetic of the American Dollar Princesses who had been taken by marriage to the camp of the enemy. The count visited America frequently before the war and came again shortly after the armistice. When the United States entered the war, Countess Szecenyi became an alien enemy and the alien property custodian took over nearly $3,000,000 worth of stocks and other property owned in this country by her. The countess made a visit to her family while the war was in progress, being admitted by special permission of the state depart. GEN. SIR LEE STACK Gen. Sir Lee Stack, sardar of the Egyptian arm, and governor-general for Great Britain of the Soudan, is taking steps to quell outbreaks among natives in the region of Athara and prevent a general uprising. Stack was born May 15, 1868. He entered the army at the age of 22. From 1900 to 1902 he was COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying SUICIDE AVERTED BY RELIGION—San Bernardino Sun There was a slight decrease in the number of suicides per capita in the United States last year, though a small increase in the actual number. Those who end their lives purposely in various ways number about 3000 annually, depending somewhat upon the condition of the country as to prosperity, though the majority of suicides are not a result of financial troubles which are caused by general conditions, though many follow money troubles caused by individual foolishness and misdoing. The great fundamental of the mental condition which leads to self-destruction is a frame of mind reached by one who feels that he has reached the limit of what the world has for him and so is moved to get out of it. This mental condition may be induced by great disappointment or by realization that one's own conduct has destroyed all that is worth living for, disappointments of various kinds being by far the leading cause. The instinct to live is the strongest implanted in the human breast, and it takes a considerable unbalancing of the intellect to violate it. Outside this universal instinct, the strongest restraint from self-death is religion, faith in an overseeing God who orders all things for good if only man will have it so. Fear to take the life God has given has restrained the hand of many who would be glad to put an end to conditions of physical or mental suffering that would otherwise have been unendurable. Analysis of the suicides would doubtless show that the great majority of them held no abiding faith as to the future state. A man recently leaped overboard from the great steamer Majestic in mid-ocean, exclaiming: "Here I go!" He was doubtless in the same general mental condition as to the future as was another man who committed the same act with the final words: "Here goes nothing!" If it is not an abiding trust and certainty in a future life resulting from a proper living of the present one which prevents the suicide, it is an equal uncertainty and dread of the unknown. This was voiced by Hamlet when he debated about the relative distress of the present evils and those to which he would fly were he to take his own life. While there is small indication that men give much thought to the uncertainties of the future life, as they spend the present one in intense activity of one sort or another, yet it gives them pause whenever they are brought face to face with the prospect of being plunged into it. We may go on carelessly and thoughtlessly from day to day, even expressing conviction that we "die like a dog" when the end comes. Yet when we suddenly come to the brink we shrink back and by our very shrinking give the lie to our declared disbelief in a future existence. "Where do we go from here?" is a much more serious question than is in the mind of the ordinary user of the slang phrase. If it were not, the ranks of the suicides would be swelled to great numbers by those who acted under the impulse of mental depression from a great variety of causes. It is a wonderful thing to have, not an all-defined fear of the future which makes us cling to life, but an abiding faith that we are here until we are called away through us not directly our own, hoping and trusting in better things.

Sir Lee Stack, sardar of the Egyptian arm, and governor-general for Great Britain of the Soudan, is taking steps to quell outbreaks among natives in the region of Athara and prevent a general uprising. Stack was born May 15, 1868. He entered the army at the age of 22. From 1900 to 1902 he was in command of the Shambe Field Force at Soudan. In 1909 he reiterated from active service with the rank of major. Since 1916 Stack, whose full name is General Sir Lee Oliver Fitzmaurice Stack, has served as governor-general of Soudan and sirdar of the Egyptian army. DINNER STORIES During the war days a group of Britons and Americans held a meeting to discuss how a better mutual understanding could be promoted. A young man wearing the "Y" uniform declared that while he was in England no British officer saluted him. Whereupon a venerable Englishman undertook to explain: "We are often reserved and shy among ourselves," he said. "I would not for the world have my young American friend think we was discriminated against." "Let me give you an instance. I have often traveled in a compartment with several persons between Newcastle and Leeds and not heard a word uttered all the way. One day, merely by way of making conversation, a man opposite me looked up from his newspaper and said mildly, 'It's a pleasant day.'" "Surply the remark was sufficiently innocuous. Yet it instantly drew a querulous report from one of the others, who answered tartly: 'Well, nobody said it wasn't a pleasant day. What are you trying to do, pick a quarrel?' And that was all that anybody said for the whole of the journey. "You, see, we have a certain natural diffidence which makes us reticent with strangers. It's in the blood; it's part of our temperament." Mr. Alltalk was a very poor speaker and after his oratory had run on for over an hour some of his audience began to leave. As one man slipped out of the doorway, another, who had waited outside, asked hopefully: "Has he finished?" "Yes," said the last sufferer grimly. "Long ago; but he won't stop." NAPOLEON ON KINGS There are single portraits of Napoleon more truthfully revealing than whole shelves of books about him. And his writings thoughtfully considered, are more eloquent than all but a very few of the histories of his time. Take for instance, his ideas about kings and their kingdoms. In this memoirs and letters you will find these observations: A king does not exist in nature; he exists only in civilization. There cannot be a naked king—he is only a king when he is dressed. Thrones emanate from God; the greatest crime in His eyes is to shake the love and respect due to sovereigns because it causes the greatest evil to man. Sovereigns are not angels; they are men, and more often subject to error and passion. With the army, simplicity is in its place; but in a great city, in a palace, it is necessary that the chief of state should draw attention to himself by all possible means. A newly-born government must dazzle and astonish; when it ceases to do that it must fall. The heart of a statesman should be nowhere but in his head. In revolutions everything is forgotten. The benefits you confer today are forgotten tomorrow. The side once changed, gratitude, friendship, parentage, every tie vanishes, and all sought for self interest. Experience is the true wisdom of nations. Posterity learns the history of great nations elsewhere from pictures and statues, of which these are only the mythical portion. The indestructible pages and the colossal works of great reigns are the battles. Here the historians must find their material. It is better to die a king than live a prince. Just remember that the human mind is essentially partial. Unless it narrows its point of view, what little strength it has is dispersed, and it loses its way altogether. YESTERDAY—Custom Ruled Women—Monday was Wash Day. TODAY—They are guided by common sense. Now Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday or Saturday is Laundry Day. Carl Oeike, Anaheim Agent, Phone 129 Mr. Alltalk was a very poor speaker and after his oratory had run on for over an hour some of his audience began to leave. As one man slipped out of the doorway, another, who had waited outside, asked hopefully: "Has he finished?" "Yes," said the last sufferer grimly. "Long ago; but he won't stop." Then let us consider The trash and the litter We find in the average back yard; Where hygiene is mockery. For cleaning clothing, carbon tetrachloride possesses all the advantages of gasoline without it's attending dangers. A flame attracts children and moths but it isn't desirable to singe the wings of children. In sweeping dusty carpets There is danger we are told; For the carpet catches dust While the sweeper catches cold. A prominent dentist says that the best way to keep the teeth clean is to use them for eating purposes. It now appears that the mailed fist has been returned to the sender for better address. And a sprinter from Athens—(Somewhere I have read); Ran twenty-six miles—and then dropped dead. A house supplied with open fires and young children should also be supplied with fire fenders. Another way to return good for evil is to send the doctor a check for the medicine he prescribed. To be perfectly sure of protection against lock-jaw, every punctured wound must be cannisterized and a dose of tetanus antitoxin administered.
