DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS How many are quite unworthy to see the light, and yet the day dawns.—Seneca. THE CROSS WORD PUZZLE Cross word puzzles are pushing bridge and Mah Jongg into the discard. Addicts to the new game or sport are said to lose all sense of time, place and responsibility to family and society. They become interested almost to the point of aberration. However, the cross word puzzle epidemic is the most sensible of the ills that have afflicted those with more time than they know what to do with. As a people, we are not noted for our discrimination in the use of words or for our full vocabularies. The English language is so rich. There are terms to express the most delicately differentiated shades of thought, and yet most of us have such limited vocabularies that we are forced to resort to slang to express our meaning. The epidemic of cross word puzzles is one that may be a source of both profit and pleasure, for words are fascinating when we take the time to study them. The game will serve to show to many the richness of their own language, and a larger knowledge of words always tends towards an enrichment of ideas and a clearer precision of thought. Many who make use of these puzzles for pastime will take occasion to correct errors of speech into which they have fallen and will find a new delight in the use of the language from a fuller knowledge of its resources and its capabilities. A game or a pastime that makes use of the dictionary and the thesaurus imperative is not a waste of time. Let the cross word puzzles flourish with all the encouragement that scholars and the game-loving public can give them. when we take the time to study them.

CITRUS YIELD IS HUGE IN CALIFORNIA Total returns to the citrus growers of California for their 1923-24 crop approximate $70,000,000 and the delivered value to the wholesale trade was more than $105,000,000. Shipments for the season handled by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange—which takes care of about 73 per cent of the states total crop—totalled more than 14,000,000 boxes of oranges and grapefruit, and more than 4,500,000 boxes of lemons. Expressed in carloads there were nearly 32,000 cars of oranges and grapefruit, and more than 11,500 cars of lemons. A significant development of the season was the increase in shipments of California citrus fruits to the Orient. Increased steamship space and lower refrigerating rates will enhance this trade, which promises to expand and become profitable to growers. Development of this citrus industry in this state has been phenomenal. Orchardists have "come up through great tribulations." They have had adversities. They have had to fight foes of many kinds. But they have fought a good fight" and they are winning right along. The menace of frost largely has been overcome. Parasitic pests are combatted, and the orchards remain and the yield of golden fruit steadily increases. It is a great industry, built up and sustained by splendid courage and skill. 233 E.

DESERT LOVE DINNER STORIES Young Jake had just returned from the city, and his chum was asking him about the experiences, in particular how he enjoyed eating in an automat restaurant. "How do they work?" the friend asked. "Well, you put your nickel in the wathemenacallit and press the thingumbob, and the doohinkus turns around and gives you your food," explained Jake. "Isn't that marvelous?" echoed the chum. "I knew they were wonderful things, but I ain't heard the details before." As the parting instructions were being given, the young traveler picked up his bag and started on his initial trip. "Good luck to you," said his chief. "Wire us important news." "Reached here safely, good room with both feeling fine." His chief wired back: "So glad, love and kisses; good-by." A girl, winner of a local beauty contest, in which the first prize was a part in a big film play, left her native town the envy and admiration of all. Weeks passed without news. Then one day she returned and resumed her former occupation. "But what about acting for the pictures?" she was asked. "Didn't they give you a part?" "Yes, they gave me a part," she answered, bitterly. "They told me I could be the hand that held the bottle marked 'Poison' in the villain's nightmare!"

Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" FASTING FOR HEALTH FASTING AND STARVATION (Continued): This however, is very different from a properly conducted fast where food may be had for the asking, and where the body is added in many ways—by bathing, enemas, etc., and the patient may have the enjoyment of every pleasure save eating. Patients should be cautioned not to argue with their friends who do not understand the philosophy of Scientific Fasting, as this only tends to disturb the mind of the patient, and may interfere with his cure, no matter how sincere he may be in attempting to follow this necessarily strict regime. "Thoughts are Things," and nothing but harm can come from trying to convert an obstinate friend who does not realize the difference between fasting and starvation. The time to fast is when suffering from any acute or chronic disease, and the fast, or series of fasts, should be continued until the patient is cured. After the cure it should not be necessary ever again to subject oneself to such a treatment, if the patient will only make a study of those habits which produced the disorder and substitute better ones for them. Of course, there are times when food should be withheld for a meal or two, who one is very tired or under great mental strain from enervating emotion, such as grief, or anger, or intense pain, but fasting should not be made a habit for the well. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying AFTER AUTO STAGES, WHAT?—San Bernardino Sun In San Francisco the Pickwick stage line has taken a lease for 99 years on a site and is going to construct a large addition to its stage station, apparently with the idea that its business is going to last for a considerable time. Staging in California has been a great business since the rush of '49 made transportation into distant regions necessary. It was not long after gold seekers penetrated any region and established settlements, before the stage line and the Wells-Fargo express followed them, pioneered by the pack train. Literally thousands of miles of stage lines traversed the Pacific coast from the southern line of California to the northern line of Washington. When a few years later the pony express was put on the route from Independence, Mo., to Sacramento, and later Ben Holliday established his overland stage route, great at that enterprise appeared, the mileage was far short of that already being traveled by stages all over the Pacific Coast. Possibly we may from the development of transportation since that day forecast something of what may happen before the 99-year lease of this automobile stage line expires. From the pack train to the automobile stage is a considerable advance. Where the old stage made an eight-hour schedule in the winter and a top hour one in the summer, traveling dirt roads and crossing streams by ferries, the auto stage now makes a schedule of 30 miles an hour over payed highways and crosses rivers on fine steel and concrete bridges. Where passengers salvered in the winter time on hard seats, with mail bags on which to rest their feet, now they travel on cushioned seats in heated coaches, not one of them being compelled to get out and help pry the stage out of the mud. But that we are in a transition state with regard to transportation is plain to all. It apparently will be but a few years before the auto stage as we know it will be supereded for fast travel from place to place, especially at any distance, by airplane passenger ships. It may be that for a time we shall have both modes of travel, the airship for those in a hurry and having plenty of money to indulge their need or desire for speed, and the auto stage for short distances and cheaper travel. But no one can doubt the eventual air travel for all, even short flights. When that time comes, the new stage building now under construction will have to be remodeled, and its roof will have to take place of its present ground floor for the arrival and departure of stages. Those of us who are still here 99 years hence will please note the fulfillment of this prophecy. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE TOLERATION OF THE ANCIENTS Three years ago he was elected lieutenant governor of his state. Of late years his home has been in Mitchell. He married Gertrude Bertlesen, a sweetheart of his school days. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE TOLERATION OF THE ANCIENTS Toleration is recognition of the right of private judgment and allowance of that which is not wholly approved. That is all. Yet countless millions have died because of intolerance. No land has escaped. "Toleration, in fine, never led to civil war; intolerance has covered the earth with carnage," wrote Voltaire. In considering whether intolerance is of natural and human law, Voltaire observed: "Natural law is that indicated to men by nature. You have reared a child: he owes you respect as a father, gratitude as a benefactor. You have a right to the products of the soil that you have cultivated with your own hands. You have given or received a promise: it must be kept. "Human law must in every case be based on natural law. All over the earth the great principle of both is: Do not unto others what you would that they do not unto you. Now, in virtue of this principle, one man cannot say to another: Believe what I believe and what thou canst not believe or thou shalt perish. Thus do men speak in Portugal, Spain and Goa (the inquisition was on as Voltaire wrote.) In some other countries they are now content to say: 'Believe or I detest thee; believe or I will do thee all the harm I can.' Monsfer, thou shares not my religion; thou shalt be a thing of horror to thy neighbors, thy city, and thy province." "The supposed right of intolerance is absurd and barbaric. It is the right of the tiger; nay, it is far worse, for tigers do but tear in order to have food, while we rend each other for paragraphs. "The people of whom history has given us some slight knowledge, regarded their different religions as links that bound them together; it was an association of the human race. There was a kind of right hospitality among the gods, just as there was abowmen. When a stranger reached town, his first act was to worship the gods of the country; even the gods of enemies were strictly venerated. The Trojans offered prayers for the Greeks. Thus in the very midst of war religion united men and moderated their fury, though at times it enjoined on them inhuman and horrible deeds. "I may be wrong, but it seems to me that not one of the ancient civilized nations restricted the freedom of thought. Each of them had a religion, but it seems to me that they used it in regard to men as they did in regard to their gods. All of them recognized a supreme God, but they associated with him a prodigious number of lesser divinities. They had only one cult, but they permitted numbers of special systems." Look! Look!
