BOOKS and newspapers, roads and
Pullman cars.
The result is that hoofs and horns
are falling off from our brothers in
other lands, and sometimes they
seem more than half human.
When men chung closely to their
own countrles-aye, usually TO their
w towns and villages and often to
their own homes-then they hated
each other. because they didn't know
each other.
Every other man was regarded as
a natural enemy whose motives could
be only evil.
But when the printing press was
invented so that men could make
books and newspapers, thousands
upon thousands of lives were saved
because misunderstanding were
broken down, and war was avoided.
And when roads were built, con

so hal men no longer hunted theil
way through the forests, but could
find their neighbors easily and natur-
ally, it did much to create friendship
between individuals and tribes an(
nations.
And when more recently electricity
permitted men to communicate witt
each other by telegraph and tele'
phone and cable, 1t bound the worlt
closer together than ever before.
True-men have sometimes use(

but, in the main, there have beer
more blessings than cursings.
And so, whatever permits men t

That's why open forums help bring

PEOPLE WHO OWN HOMES

In the present industrial unrest it has been noted that
commented upon that the centers Of unrest are largely in the
bigger cities or in cities that are dominated by gigantic corpor-
ations like the steel corporation. The opinion has been ad-
yanced that unrest is caused by the multitudes Of people In
these centers, that t is a sort of germ born in mobs and forced
to quick growth by reason of the great masses of victims near
at hand to feed upon.
But isn't unrest more a matter Of the possession of per.
sonal property than anything else? In the smaller cities the
workingmen own their own homes. They pay taxes just as
their employers do and in many instances own more property
and pay more taxes than the employer who is struggling to
make a hard pressed business become z success. Home own
es, whether of the so-oalIed laboring class or of the employing
class, have a different outlook on life than do those who own
no homes. They have stability, a sense of pride in the COM
munity, a strenuous anatgonism toward direct action"
In the big cities on the other hand, and in the large indus
trial centers, too few working men are home owners.

FAKE CANCER CURES"


Every cancer cure" advertisement
Is a swindle.
Advertised cancer cures" are,
generally speaking, of two classes:
Cd so-called tonic drugs for internal
use in connection with certain anti
septic washes, or CD "pastes" or
''poulticeS' containing strong chemical
caustics.
The danger of the first is that,
while harmless in themselves, they
are ~valueless, and by their use vital
ly important time Is lost while the
ANGER develops beyond the durable
stage.
AS for the caustic pastes, a few
reputable physicians in selected cases
use caustic applications for a certain
class of skin cancers when the patient
can be under personal observations
but not otherwise.
Such pastes have an exceedingly
limited use.

High Credit.
BY w ALI MA o n

If you've kept your credit spotless, ills may trail you IN
a bunch, but bad luck is rendered swatless, evil Fate has lost
its punch. For the helpful merchant princes will not answer
you, "Nay, nay!' when you call to buy some ounces or a
luscious bale of hay. You can buy all things you're needing,
from cookstove to a cheese, without argument Or pleading,
without falling on your knees; for the watchful merchant
.rinces have your record, writ on back; and each one OF them
evinces confidence that you'll come back. You feel clipper as
a colt is when it eats the first June hay; you can buy a taxseed
poultice, and when ready, you can pay. If you wish to py
an anchor or a house to call your own, you can go and ask the
banker for a little timely loan; and the banker will embrace
you and caress you Ger and Ger, and around a block he'll
chase you, asking you to borrow more. But IL you are slow and
needless in the paying of your bills, you will find your children
feedless when arrives the day Of ills. And your wife, who
proudly minces, in her new and modish gown, will approach
the merchant princes, and they'll snarl and turn her down.

HALLOWEEN COMES,

An old saying, every dog has his

Halloween, which is observed each
wear on October 81, and affords an
opportunity for the feline to emerge
from it's quiet, demure haunts OF that
big easy chair of dads" especially
the old Thomas cat, who seems to de-
light in sending forth loud, weird and
unintelligible calls to his lady love on
the backyard fence.
Associated with these dark night
revels of the Thomas cat, on this par
ticular date, is the old witch astride
broom, the owl, hob-goblins, and all
seem to delight in stealing out in the
darkness Of night and making life
miserable for all in the community.
And why all this commotion on
this particular date?
Halloween is name derived from
Halowmas-hallo, holy, and masse,
feast; Hallomas was a saint in Scot
land, so the books tell US. Thus the
eve of October 81 is observed in honor
Of the sacred feast of all souls, all
saints or all-hallows.

AUTOMOBILE MEN
MEET TONIGHT
TO 0RCAN VIE

A special meeting of the automobile
business men of Imperial county has
been arranged for Friday night Octo-
Der 3lst. 1919 at 1870 O'Clock at the
Barbara Worth Hotel. El Centre, where
a banquet will be spread.
The object of the meeting is TO ex-
plain in detail the purposes of the Cal
fornia Automobile Trade Asssocia ton
and the wonderful benefits to be had
through cooperative efforts to better
trade conditions and elevate the person
mel of the trade to the high standard
of efficiency that exists in every other
line of endeavor, thereby assuring the
public that degree of confidence which
should prevail.
Mr.. Robert w Martland, the found
er of the association and it's present
state secretary. will address the meet
ing and the automobile tradesmen of
Imperial county will be invited to unite
with the California Automobile Trade
Association by forming an association
of the allied tradesmen throughout the
Imperial Valley. 1t is hoped that ev-
cry man in the automobile business
from any angle whatever will realize
that this proposition is something that
will put real dollars in his pocket and
that he will afford himself the pleasure
of attending this meeting.
Mr.. MARYLAND is undoubtedly one of,
if not the greatest organizers in the
state of California, and the pep and
ginger which he injects into his work
leaves everyone feeling that they have
gained a great deal by being able to
hear him.
The California Automobile Trade
Association has made wonderful strides
In the last FIVE years and it is predict
ed that within the next two years il
will become a national affair. as many
ot the states are now erssnized alone
