ONLY ONE KIND OF HONESTY

1t is the liar who Is ham string
ing the body polite today. 1 be-
lieve that the day is coming when
the law will prohibit untrue adver-
Using in America. as 1t does today
in Germany. No man can be perm
anently successful unless he Is hon
est. In spite of the fact that some
men seem to think there are fifty
seven varieties, but one kind of
honesty, the, good. old-fashioned
kind remains.-Hon. F. w. Heron.
Mr.. Heron's words smack of truth
but while he has pointed out the evil,
he fails to suggest a practical RENE
dy. 1t is impossible to make men
honest. Crooks and dishonest men
are born more often than they are
made. The statement that no man
can be successful unless he is honest
will not hold water at all. The most
successful men in the world as far as
far as accommodating fortunes are
concerned have admittedly got their
riches by questionable tactics.

WHAT IS NEWSPAPER GOOD FOR 2

A newspaper surely can do much
to shape character that is, public
sentiment. If a newspaper has the
ability to command a large circula-
ton to plead kindly and plainly
show the way to general thrift and
prosperity, to good health, education,
culture and a correct manner of liv-
ling, it is worth millions in tbs COM
munity. The people would be surely
convinced and it would be a model
community, famous and influential.
The newspaper is not a shining
light, speaking scientifically. Not
yet. Better many degrees than form
erly and growing better every season
of late, nevertheless the editorial
management is not down to the true
science of editing. No schools or col
leges have given technical training
except for the business department
the bookkeeping, advertising. The
general schools to be sure teach
grammar, spelling, punctuation and
rhetoric, but there has been little in
editorial skill.

show remarkable contrasts in char
acter and purpose and these little
ones are afr pictures of the larger
Occasionally there is a standing rock
of integrity, a lamp of progress and a
thing of joy, hurrah and whoopel

times we have others spreading desc

THE SLEEPY SONG

THE SLEEPY SONG.
As soon as the fire burns red and low,
And the house upstairs is still.
She sings n queer little sleepy song
OF sheep that so over the hill.
The good little sheep run quick and
soft,
Their coiors are gray and whites
They follow their leader nose to tail,
they must he home by night.
And one slips over, and one comes next.
And one runs after behind,
The gray ones nose at the white ones
tail.
The top of the hin they find.
They quietly slip away.
But one run over and one comes
Their coIors are white md gray.
And over they go, and over they go.
And over the top of the hill
The good little sheep run quick and
soft.
And the house upstairs Is still.
And one slips over and one comes next
The good little, gray little sheep!
watch how the fire burns red and
low.
And she says that I fall asleep.

FUNDS FOR HOME BUILDING.

Success of new and growing COM
ounities in California such as Los
Angeles in raising money for home
building purposes ought to invite the
study of local cities interested IN
this problem.
That the southern California
metropolis has the confidence of the
big insurance companies is evidenced
by the following ad in the California
Outlook. which is captioned, Don t
worry about your mortgage:
The Equitable Life of New York
will make loans from $1,000 to
s15,000.00, for period of years on

vertisements reveals some clever

cate or gold note plan, those having

Mutual reads:
