DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS
In His hands we are safe. We falter on Through storm and mire;
Above, beside, around us, there is One Will never tire.
—Frances Power Cobbe.
SIMPLE LIFE EXAMPLE IN WHITE HOUSE
Exemplification of the simple life is being given by President and Mrs. Coolidge. The example is altogether wholesome. No is also the gospel of common sense which this country never should outgrow and abandon the simplicities which were the foundation of its early life.
This is a complex age. No one pretends that the American people today, in all details of life, could or should live as they did in 1620, or even in 1800 or 1850. Advancements are made in inventions and improvements, and people advance with these advancements. But there are certain elementals in which it were well to follow the old ways—the elementals of abstemious living; of moderation; of thrift and forehandedness; of avoidance of waste; and of taking time to enjoy life in the home and in the quiet places, with Nature. Even in this complex age these methods of life may be observed—these enjoyments may be experienced.
Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, in a way, are bucolic. They came from the farm and the small town. They come from New England where the rule of "plain living and high thinking" has obtained since colonial days. Hence their demonstrating of the simple life and wholesome economizing in their daily life, and in their mode of travel—by ordinary train, in ordinary car, eating ordinary meals—is not a thing suddenly to be acquired by them. They have had it in their experience. They incline to simplicity and economy. The lesson to the country is salutary.

The Bible frequently is attacked from different angles. But the grand old Book survives. It lives. It has not lost its potency. It is moulding and influencing and reforming men throughout the world: The Bible and the Christian faith will stand.
SOIL PRODUCTS SWELL STATE'S RICHES
Beans! Homely, but toothsome and nutritious. Civilized man could get along without a great many things better than he could lose his beans. A staple item in the dietary, beans contribute greatly to he heart hand well being of the people. And California is right in the forefront as the friend of the bean eaters. This state is producing a crop of about 150,000,000 pounds this year. Some statistician, with more time on his hands than the average person, has calculated that California's bean crop this year, if put into bags and if the bags were laid end to end, would form a road of beans the entire length of the state. This crop is of great value and adds to the produced riches of California.
And the California walnut crop is enormous too. It will bring about $10,000,000 to the growers of the state—into Southern California for the most part. The crop is good in quality and is bringing good prices in the market.
Beans and walnuts are but two of the important soil crops of the state. There are several others. Grain and fruits and vegetables flourish. Hundreds of millions of produced wealth come into California annually from soil crops.
Climate is a perpetual asset to California. It is a very real and a very valuable asset. It is a resource especially bestowed by Providence—a resource that never will be exhausted. Other natural resources might become depleted—but climate—never.
The curfew bell or whistle is an indictment of parents. If proper disciplinary influence were exerted over children in the home, none of them would be found on the streets at night. If all parents did their full duty in this, there would be no need of police regulation.

DINNER STORIES
It was 11:30 when Randall retired. In a few minutes the telephone rang, and he hurried downstairs only to find that there was no one on the line. He had just curled up again in his warm bed when the telephone rang again and again he answered the call.
It proved to be a motor car agent who wished to interest Randall in a new machine. When the conversation was finished, the agent said: "I trust I have not inconvenienced you."
"Oh, not at all!" said Mr. Randall. "I was sitting right in front of the telephone thinking that someone might call me up."
The ardent swain and his lady love had just encountered a bulldog who looked as if he might shake a mean lower jaw.
"Why, Percy," she exclaimed as he started a strategic retreat. "You always swore you would face death for me."
"I would," he flung back over his shoulder, "but that darn dog ain't dead."
A very black little girl made her way into the presence of the lady of the house, and with much embarrassment, but very clearly, explained who she was, and what her mission:
"Please, mum, I see Ophelia. I see de washerwoman's little girl, an mamma, she sent me to say, would you please to len' her a dime. She got to pay some bills."

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE
By Dr. Frank McCoy
Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH"
GOOD, COOKED NON-STARCHY VEGETABLES
(Continued)
PUMPKIN is very wholesome non-starchy vegetable if cooked properly. Practically the only way in which it is used on the average table is in the form of pie, in which form it is over-spiced and seasoned with sugar, and thus rendered unfit for food. It is best cooked in the same manner as squash, that is, cut into small pieces and boiled in plain water, and mashed if desired, while cream and butter may also be added. The small, fresh pumpkin should be used whenever possible, as it contains less starch than the more matured kind, which is the grade commonly found in canned purapakin. But even this canned variety makes a good non-starchy vegetable to take on a camping trip where there is a scarcity of greens.
OKRA is a non-starchy vegetable used mostly through the Southern States, where it is raised extensively. It makes an appetizing dish if cooked in plain water, and may be mixed with any of the other non-starchy vegetables when desired.
OYSTER PLANT OR SALISIFY. This vegetable should be used as young as possible before the starch has had time to develop, as in this way it may be used more freely and has a more agreeable flavor. Do not scrape the Oyster plant, but wash it with the vegetable brush and coog in plain water. If ent up thin and seasoned with cream and butter the flavor will slightly resemble that of an oyster stew, although the food value is undoubtedly different, as the oyster is a protelid food and often poisonous while the vegetable oyster is non-starchy and always wholesome.

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS
MRS. MARY T. NORTON
The recent election, among other interesting results, sends to congress its fifth woman member and its first fair congresswoman from the east. She is Mrs. Mary Norton, elected to the House of Representatives from the Twelfth Congressional District in New Jersey. She is also the first Democratic woman member of Congress.
Mrs. Norton's unopposed nomination by the Democratic party was regarded as equivalent to election, as the Twelfth Congressional District, New Jersey, coincides with the Eleventh ward of Jersey City, a Democratic stronghold. She had the backing of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City and the rest of the powerful Democratic organization in Hudson county. Mrs. Norton was a delegate to the Democratic national convention at Madison Square Garden and, like the rest of the New Jersey delegation, cast her vote faithfully for Mr. Smith for the presidential nomination until New York's governor withdrew from the race.
Mrs. Norton is vice chairman of the New Jersey Democratic state committee. She was the first woman freeholder in Hudson county, a position similar to that of county commissioner in New York, and is chairman of the county committee of the General Hospital and the Almhouse.
She is the wife of Robert F. Norton, Jersey City. Becoming interested in public affairs after the death of her only child, she volunteered more than 10 years ago for work in the Hudson County Day Nurseries. She has been head of the Queens Daughters Day Nursery in Hudson county for eight years. Her first political position came in 1920, when she was chosen vice-chairman of the county Democratic organization. The next year she became vice-chairman of the state committee.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS
What Editors Are Saying
THE LURE OF JOURNALISM—From the Tulsa World
There is, perhaps, no profession so perplexing to others as the journalistic profession. The newspaperman is constantly meeting the question "Why do you remain in the newspaper business?" He finds this question is the general knowledge that journalism is not a particularly profitable profession, save to the comparatively few publishers who have successfully established great publications. To the men who really make papers and adorn them with wit and wisdom, Dame Fortune is not prodigal; yet in no other profession are there so many men and women or exceptional ability.
The answers to this question are varied and various, yet all tending to the same end. It is the romance of the business. To put it a bit differently, one gets action every day in the journalistic game. And every 24 hours constitutes a new day in an entirely new world. The physical features of the business remain day after day. There are the same desks, writing machines and mechanical equipment; the same men and women making a paper. But every day, almost every minute, the raw material is in flux and changing. The one thing certain to happen is the one thing most unexpected.
And then there is another lure. In no other profession or vocation has one such entree into the most exclusive circles and channels; in no other does one meet the ablest minds, and shoulders with the doer of big things. The man of millions, almost impossible to meet as a general thing, swings wide his door when a representative of the fourth estate credentialed from a publication of influence, sends in his or her card. The statesman, politician—even the princes of the earth—may and do preserve their privacy violate against the curiosity of the public, but rarely does one fail to show the utmost courtesy to the journalist seeking information on a subject in which the public has an interest.
The newspaper man in the very nature of things seeks his raw material among the highest in all walks of life, because the commonplace and the customary rarely attain a genuine news value. All of this constitutes the lure that holds brilliant men and women to the profession. Even the possession of great wealth does not afford the same magic sesame as credentials from an outstanding journal. Proving that there is something more in life than the mere possession of money.
SERMON BY EMERSON
It was a part of the creed of Ralph Waldo Emerson that our action is overmastered and characterized above our will by the law of nature. We aim at a pretty end quite aside from the public good, but our act arranges itself by irresistable magnetism in a line with the poles of the world, he believed.
SERMON BY EMERSON
It was a part of the creed of Ralph Waldo Emerson that our action is overmastered and characterized above our will by the law of nature. We aim at a pretty end quite aside from the public good, but our act arranges itself by irresistable magnetism in a line with the poles of the world, he believed.
"A man cannot speak, but he judges himself."
With his will, or against his will, he draws his portrait to the eye of his companions by every word. Every opinion resets on him who utters it. It is a threadball thrown at the mark, but the other end remains in the thrower's bag.
"Or, rather, it is a harpoon thrown at the whale, unwinding as it flies, a colf cord in a boat, and if the harpoon is not good, or not too well thrown it will go nigh to cut the steerman in twain, or to sink the boat."
You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong." Emerson admonished in this ceremonial essay (On Compensation). He quotes Burke: "No man ever had a point of pride that was not injurious to him."
"The exclusive in fashionable life does not see that he excludes himself from enjoyment in the attempt to appropriate it." Emerson continues: "The exclusionist in religion does not see that he shuts the door of heaven on himself, in striving to shot our others. Treat men as pans and ninepins, and you shall suffer as they."
"The senses would make things of all persons; of women, of the poor. The vulgar proverb, 'I will get it from his purse or get it from his skin,' is sound philosophy.
"All these old abuses in society, the great and universal, and the petty and particular, all unjust accumulations of property and power, are avenged in the same manner. Fear as an instructor of great sagacity, and the herald of all revolutions. One thing he always teaches, that there is rottenness where he appears. He is a carrion crow, and though you see not well he hovers for, there is death somewhere."
BILLY WHISKERS
BY FRANCES TREGO MONTROYERY
Yesterday's story was telling how the animals in the picture which was on the billboard were dressed.
And then came Billy, dressed as a circus ringmaster, with white trousers, high black patent leath er boots, longtalled dress coat, and a high silk hat on his head, while in his hand or, I should say, in his fore paw, he held a longlashed whip. It would take too long to tell how all the other animals and actors were dressed and the parts they took. Suffice to say they all looked fine, and it was a gorgeous picture.
"Oh, doesn't Billy look simply superb in those clothes!" exclaimed Minnie. "Yes, it must see him, and I am going to start this very minute for Chicago. I know the way there perfectly well as I have traveled it many times before. I am sorry that Night, Day and the twins are not here to go with me. But will one of you kindly carry this message to them for me over to Farmer Strongholtz's, where they now are?"
Dozens of voices piped up that they would be only too glad to do straw or hay somewhere to sleep on.
In the last story Nannle started for Chicago to see Billy; and had just seen a comfortable farm where she thot she might get something to eat and drink.
She trotted up the lane keeping her eyes well open for her old enemies, dogs and boys. But not seeing them or, in fact, anyone around the premises, she decided she had the place to herself and that the family had probably gone to town.
Arriving at the watering-trough she found to her dismay that it was nearly empty. But only for a moment was she downcast, for if this was any ordinary pump she could fill the trough with water as she had done many times before with the pump at the farm. If only the handle was such a shape that she could hold of it with her mouth! She tried it, and it was the very same kind of handle as on the pump at home. So she pumped the trough full and drank long, refreshing draughts of the cool water.
Aside from the question Of making us ill,
Each year every rat Costs a two dollar bill.
When the annual or semi-annual physical examination has an universally adopted, physical qualification for military service will not be as common as it is during the last war.
It is estimated that the rat population about equals the human population. If four hundred would invest ten thousand dollars at 8 per cent, they could be on the interest.
