Minneapolis, Jan. ,9-The corn mar
ket was stronger today and the trad

on rallies. Oats prices followed corn
easily and most of the news concern
ing that grain was bullish. Cash
wheat reports again were decidedly
mixed in character. Good wheat was
in demand and sold at steady prices.
but there was considerable argument
regarding the value of lower grade
offerings. Some sold S cents lower
and some holders claimed they let
go of their stuff 10 cents lower.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
THE AUTO R

Let's rise. o footsore readers. and
form a union strong, to punish all
the speeders who rush their cars
along; with terrors dire they I'LL US,
they make us weak and pale; they
try to MAIN or kill us, and grumble
when they fail. The streets are
scenes of danger, where speed laws
won't stay put, and heaven help the
stranger who tries to cross on footl
Some reckless bonehead driver will
promptly climb his frame, and will
not r a silver how many more
he'll MAIN. oh, every night 1 wonder,
when 1 retire to bed, that I'm not
torn asunder. that I still have my
head. For all the day I'm lodging
death cars propelled by fools, and
when / reach my lodging the sweat
drips down in pools. 1 count my
legs and knuckles, my wishbones and
my hair. my carriers and my buckles,
to see if I'm all there; and If there's
nothing busted 1 feel that I'm in
luck, for I've been chased, disguised.
by auto, ford and truck. It's surely
time to punish with more than paltry
fines those reckless guys and Hunnish
who try to break our spines. who
always look for chances to wing the
passing gent. and fill the ambulances
with victims, boneyard bent.

CREMATE YOUR GLOOM
BY DIR. James I. Vance.


The market is overstocked with
gloom. 1t is an article for which
there is never a great demand. Yet
with life already more than supplied
we keep the gloom shops running
overtime.
The world does not need your
gloom. Cremate it.
| do not mean that life should
be turned into a vaudeville. 1 am
not urging that duty be treated as
a Joke. l am not bidding for a
generation of gigglers or a race of
clowns. The exhortation to reduce
your gloom to ashes is not meant to
encourage anyone to be fiippant or
frivolous in the presence of life's
verities.
Humor is a good thing if not over
done; but it a eb; easily over-
done. There is some humor in the
Bible, enough to light up eternal
themes. but not enough to cheaper
them.
1t is nice to exercise the laughing
muscles occasionally. but the thing
becomes painful If unduly prolonged
A smile that won't come off is the
CHASTITY sign of a wooden-faced pro-
fessionaI.
Life is a serious business, not a
Joke. The deepest moods are not
fun-provoking, but thought-provok-
ing. / knew a preacher who is a
scream for three sermons, then "the
tumult and the shouting dies" He
has crowds for a while, and they
roar with laughter. Then they get
bored. He never lasts more than
two years in a charge. For life is a
serious business. and religion was
meant not to play in the shadows,
but to sound the depths.
But one does not need to be
solemn in order to be serious. He
does not need TO throw of chunks
of gloom in order to certify that he
has a heavenly frame of mind.
One should live so that life is 4
joy, not a joy-killer.
Joy may show itself in a smile, in
roars of laughter, in a prayer of
thanksgiving, in a deed OF mercy,
in an act of forgiveness, in sitting
hate and suspicion. These are the
things which wage war on gloom.
They make us happy. so happy that
suicide ceases to have any charms,
so happy that we want other people
to be happy. too.
OF course SAD times come, and
when they come, smiles change 10
tears; but II the sun still shines, ever
tears may be transferred and
changed into prisms through which
hope casts its bow of promise on the
sky.
Gloom has no bow Of promise.
Why cultivate a mood that is with
out assets? We send garbage to the
crematory. That is where gloom be
longs.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-09-02
LAW AND CUSTOM.

The wrong party is in the saddle;
your favorite measure is lost; and
your representatives in government
seem to stand for everything that you
abbog.
But they don't. You do not have
to lie awake at night for fear that
someone will pass laws to close the
streets, burn down the houses and en-
force murder, theft and polygamy;
and even though you know that the
Supreme Court was wrong in its last
decision, life in the land is still en-
durable.
The great body of law remains as 1t
always was. You can walk the streets
or hoe the garden in your old accus-
toned ways. and o can still sit
down to a meal without stopping to
ask whether some new tyrant will
have you drawn and quartered for
eating peas with the wrong imple-
ment.
II they give you veal for dinner
when you wanted beef. you know at
least that you will not be serv-
ed with Chinese birds nests or the
long pig" Of the Cannibsl Islands or
the half-digested wainties that Eski-
mos get from a RENDERS stomach.
The point Of difference between
you and your congressman or you and
your cook would seem small indeed
to a visitor from Mars or Central
Africa.
The fact is that most things Of life
are SO completely regulated by GUS
tom and solid public opinion that it
never occurs to any one to change
them. 1t is % some vigilant police
man that keeps your neighbor from
going to his office in a bathrobe. He
never dreamed of doing it. Even the
silly fashion that makes women wear
high heels is harder to break than
the prohibition law; and the custom
breaker often feels guiltier than the
~lawbreaker
There are a few things that peo-
pie think OF changing, and about
these they can hold high argument.
But in most affairs OF life custom
reigns and there is not much appeal
from its DEGREES.

W CALIFORNIA
Prepared IND Issued by

-
Lower California, reported to be in
revolt against the present Mexican
| Government, is described in a COM
m~unication to the National Geogra-
phic Society by Frederick Simpich as
follows:
'The long. boot-shaped peninsula
that swings down on the left-hand
corner Of the United states belongs 10
Mexico and is known on Mexican
maps as 'Baja,' or Lower California.
Early Spanish maps OF America
showed California as an island, due,
mo doubt, to limited explorations OF
this peninsula
s'Scantly known as 1t is to the aver
age American, this S00-mile-long
strip of rocks, peaks, brush-grown
mesas. and rare. fertile little valleys
Is a favorite haunt for many Yankee
~naturalists, fishermen, and big-game
hunters; and here and there, in the
more favored well-watered, grassy
spots of the higher ranges@ hardy
American cattlemen have built their
adobe homes, where they enjoy the
llimitless freedom of vast unfenced
areas. The Circle Bar Company OF
| Ojos Negros Ranch runs cattle owe
a leased territory of two and a hal
million acres, and a British corpora
ton holds title to something like 1f-
teen million acres!

esque La Paz, where Cortez repaired

later, Walker, the Yankee flibuster,
raised his flag, another Yankee to-
day runs a busy little tannery. turn
ing out 900 sides of good leather
every day, for an American shoe fac
tory. Here and there, in hill n
valley, Americans are delving for
metals or growing the staple ~frijole.
But the country as a whole, owing
to its many desert, waterless areas,
is but sparsely settled, and, as one
writer says, In all its turbulent, TO-
mantle history since the halcyon days
when Sir Francis Drake dropped his
pirate anchor in Magdalena Bay, no
wheeled vehicle has ~traversed its
rough and tortuous length
Rich as are its mines and fat as
are its herds of cattle, its chief source
of wealth lies in the cotton-growing
regions around Mexicali.
"At the Colorado delta, at the head
of the Gulf of California, which sep
arates the Lower California PENN
sula from Sonora, more than at any
other point on the whole border, the
interests Of the United states and of
Mexico are closely Joined. This is
due to the singular topography of
that region (part of It is below sea-
.level) and to the division of water
from the Colorado River. In the
opinion of many irrigation engineers
and political students, this peculiar
ly delicate problem of irrigation
water rights, as between planters on
the American and Mexican sides OF
the line, respectively, can be solved
satisfactorily only by some joint
treaty between the two republics. in
volving either the fixing of a neutral
zone or the sale of a small strip of
territory"

THE PLAYGROUND.

1t was a merry time some six or
seven hundred children of this city
had at Acker's Beach in Sewaren
Tuesday. Here was a real days out
ing for little ones many of whom
would not have seen outside Perth
Amboy this summer had it not been
for the Fairgrounds. Who knows
what effect this will have on the flu
ture of the city? Instead of being
allowed to u wild and play in the
cutters and alleys all summer, these
children have assembled daily in the
Fairgrounds where, under careful
supervision they have had the utmost
pleasure and enjoyment eliminating
in a delightful picnic. 1t surely is
something worth while.
Perth Amboy has thousands OF
children instead of only six or seven
hundred that ought to be cared for
in this manner. 1t all means a great
err and better city for the future. A
child who learns to play square will
be square in business and politics
On the playground the sport is clean;
those who take part are taught tc
have respect and consideration fol
each other.
The city cannot do too much fol
the boys and girls who will be th'
men and women Of tomorrow. TIL
habits at school and on the play
ground are the habits that stay fxe'
and WELD the greatest influence al
through life. If we want the RICH
kind of citizens in the future we mus
train the boys and girls properly TO
day. There is no agency that is in
better position to influence them out
side the public school than the play
ground.
1t is to be hoped that as time goe
on the city will see It's way clear t
devote more and more attention t
this feature Of municipal develop
ment. In no way car the city bette
