MORE COSTLY FOOD

The increase in food prices has long
been a common subject of discussion in
the United States. 1t is not losing any
of it's interest or Importance. The pres
sure which it brings upon the income of
millions of families is too heavy for
that. But in this country there is the
great offset that the benefits of better
prices go, in some measure, to the pro-
ducers of food in America. The in
creased cost of living has little to do
with the money paid to foreigners FOR
anything eaten in the United States.
In Germany and Great Britain SINH
lar rise in the cost of living is noted by
economists and government Statisti-
clans. 1t is harder to bear there because
the masses are much less able to pay
high prices for what they eat. And the
food of both countries comes, in large
mart. from other lands which get the
benefit of the advance in the market
value of meats and grain and fruit con-
sumed In German and British homes.
France has the common experience in
respect to prices, but French farmers
furnish nearly enough food for the
French nation.
All through the civilized world the
tendency is toward higher prices for
food. 1t Is also toward better food,
Both conditions are signs of prosperity.
inasmuch as there is nothing suggest
! ing famine or shortage of supplies.
taking the world as whole. The aver
age standard of living is rising. Men are
getting more for their toll. Money is
falling relatively to labor and to many
great products OF labor.-Cleveland

1RuE RACE SUICIDE

out Of the wild. free west comes a
story of arrested development in family
life that for depressing details COM

eleven children, all born within twelve

GOVERNMENT AID NEEDED

| The time has arrived when the gov.
ernments of the United States and OF
Mexico must combine to assist i'm con.
trolling the Colorado river. That wild
and unruly stream is again upon the
point of inundating the fertile fields OF
Southeastern California and of North
ern Mexico, and from present appear.
ances all the wealth and power and eff
fort of the Southern Pacific railroad to
hold the river in check will be unavail-
ing unless the two national govern
ments shall come to it's assistance.
In previous editorial on this sub
ject The Herald pointed out the fact
that hundreds of thousands of acres
of land and millions in property are
in imminent peril of inundation, and
that speedy and successful effort must
be made to divert the Colorado back to
as heretofore stated and as the public
knows, has labored freely and faithful
ly to control the stream, because it's
main line of roadbed must be saved
from the fury of the waters. All
Southern California watched with bat
ed breath the long fight between the
railroad and the river for supremacy,
and all Southern California applauded
the pluck and perseverance of the rail-
way officials when a few weeks ago
conquered. Alas, it was only giving
the wild river a respite-just a chance
to conserve its power and burst forth
again more violently than before.
The Southern Pacific railroad will, of
course, continue it's struggle to save it's
roadbed and rights of way. But over
beyond and behind lie the interests of
millions of acres of fertile fields, for
which the two national governments
should have immediate care. The rail-
road has done and is doing its part.
That Is natural and to be expected.
The thousands of toiling people in the
great Imperial valley and in all the
valleys adjacent to the Colorado river
cannot be asked to rely upon a railway
corporation to save their lands. al
though the railway will do its best.
California's senators and members of
congress should take the subject frnme-
diately in hand and see to it that both
the government of the United States
and the government of Mexico take
cognizance of the situation. The in8
terests at stake are too vast and vital
to be left wholly to a railway company.
1t is a matter for government inter-
ference and assistance.

GOOD OLD ENGLISH

All lovers of good English who re-
spect its traditions, reverence its his
toric growth and honor it's worth, will
rejoice at the recent action of the ma
tional house of representatives which,
by decided vote, put a quietuss on the
presidents move to mutilate and emas-
culate the mother tongue. 1t was a
move at once sensible, emphatic and
evOcatlve of the applause of the entire
English-speaking world.
That our language as now construed
is perfect none for a moment will as
sert. 1t has many anachronisms, many
obscurities, not few needless COM
pleXties and still more items Of confu-
sion. There is scope and cause for it's
improvement and in all likelihood it will
improve in the future. as it has in the
past.
But this improvement will not come
about through the edict of any poten-
tate, be he president or pope. It will
eventuate naturally slowly, by process
of attrition, as the water wears away
the rocks-little by little. The tongue
is now vastly different from what was
standard i'm Eizabethan days. The
English of Chaucer is almost dead
language beside even Shakespeare The
perfection Of style and diction, as of
photography, is today far afeld from
that prevalent when Addison wrote.
The changes have been wrought year
by year, until there is a decided vari-
ant between the books of then and of
now.
But no king ordered this change-or
series of changes No self-constltuted
society recommended" it. No IRON
monger gave millions to bring the peo-
pies language into closer accord with
his own lack of education. No swash-
buckler chopped heads or tails from
words merely to expedite his own siren
uous scribbling. No; naturally, easily
by right Of custom and habit, words
shifted in spelling, dropped letters here
or added them there, clarified their or,
biography as occasion offered. And
thus today we get "plow' for plough
not by ediet but by natural selection
and without arbitrary violation Of eth.
les, history or etymology.
And other changes win come In tn,
lsame way II were folly to say that

THE UNIFORM

The plain truth is that any man in
any business who denies to the sailor
or the soldier the goods or services
which he freely grants to every other
citizen rendering their price deserves
to be driven out of business for his
baseness and for his ignorance of what
that uniform stands for The uniform
of the United States army and navy
stands for liberty and independence
won and vindicated and the life of the
republic preserved. 1t stands for the
devotion and the self-sacrifice and the
power and courage that have ever wild
ened the boundaries of government of
the people. by the people and for the
people that have made the flag bea-
con of hope to the oppressed through
out the earth.--Chicago Inter Ocean.

ANIMALS MAY HAVE CANCER

1t was long thought that cancer was
disease peculiar to man; but it is now
proved that there is scarcely q verte-
brate animal without 1t. Savage races
were long supposed to be free from
cancer. Now, however, that trust
worthy reports are being sent in to the
imperial cancer researchers, ii is known
that savage races, and indeed, all ami
mails, develop cancer quite as freely as
people living under civilized conditions
one of the first cases brought under
DR.. Bashford's attention was that of a
cancer in a wild mouse, and malig-
nant cancers have been found in BIRDS
tame as well as wild. From trout in
hatcheries, from. carp, and from marine
fish living in state of nature cancers
have been taken. Even an oyster has
been found with a large cancerous
tumor. Dr. William McGregor found
cancer in Goldfish off the Newfoundland
banks, and even frogs have, been dis
covered with it. Prof. Welsh of sgd
ney recently found genuine cancer in
an old lioness, a tigress and in a kan
garoo. All races of mankind, in fact.
and all vertebrates are liable to cancer,
whether under civilized conditions or
not.
Besides the fact that animals and all
men are subject to cancer. it is sig
nificant that the same kind of cancer
is found in men and animals. 1t is be-
cause of this that so much is hoped
for from cancer research on mice If
cancer can be cured in mice, it seems
to be a logical deduction that it can be
cured also in man.-Kansas City Star.

DANCING MASTER 62 YEARS

SiXty-two years a dancing master.
and still, at the age of so, active and
enthusiastic in his calling for twenty
five years band leader, and a farmer
all his life-such is the career in outline
of Simeon Green of the town of Har-
ward, Mass, who numbers his former
pupils by the thousand and has danced
around the globe.
Mr.. Green, or Prof. Green, as he is
popularly called, began to give lessons
i'll dancing in 1874, at the age of 20. He
was born in Townsend May 2S, 1924
While he was a child his parents
moved to Lunenburg. There he learned
to dance and to farm at the same time
II was peculiar combination, hut he
liked it, and has stuck to it ever since.
Mr.. Green has taught about 10000
nights and days. His classes would
average easily forty a night, so that
during each term of six months he
would turn out in the vicinity of $50
graduates. On this basis he has given
SiXtytwo pears.
At so years of age he is us graceful
and nmble on his feet as he was forty
years ago. He is teaching two juvenile
classes, one in Aver and the other in
Littleton, in addition to private assem-
blies at Aver in the evening. He de-
clares that this is going to be his last
winter as a teacher, but his friends
only laugh I'VE have heard that"
they say "for the last fifteen years."
In his juvenile classes he has tots
from to 10 years old. In some of these
cases he also taught the little ones
mother, grandmother and great-grand-
mother.-Boston Herald.

Warned Wisdom

Too bad that most good eating is bad
for one.
You can also tell a man by the COM
pany he doesn't keep.
A cheerful lie is often better than the
solemn truth.
It's a wise Santa who keeps his beard
away from the candles.
If you are a gay old dog, you have no
right to whine.
Two heads are better than one-espe-
cially at kissieg.
Better not be witty than half witted.
Uneasy lies the head that wears
frown.
Love your enemies-but not John Demi
John.
The last person to forget a kindness is
the one who does it.
The best man at wedding cannot al
ways prove 1t.
Knockers get big audiences, but no
gate receipts.
To big headed man the world is very
small.
You can have a mighty hot time with

Heart failure and cash failure often
go together.
When man makes a show of himself
