OH! YOU CALL
FORNIA TOURIST

It's great to be a tourist and with the
tourists stand
Poppies pinned upon your breast, a
guide book in your hand
II love you California you'll hear
wher'ere you roam
They never think of playing that good
old "Home Sweet Home"
You must buy some Lemons and some
Figs, some Peppers you must beg
Eat some Cactus Candy, and don't for
get the Ostrich Egg,
Send home some California flowers,
some shells from by the Sea.
But the great thing would be, to send
a California flea,
Between the tourists and the fleas it's
one continual fight
They use such little judgment as
where and when to bite
Then we climb the "Rubeneck Wagon"
off for a scenery feast
When the Native Sons smile and say
More suckers from the east
They fill you full of Mission dope, of
Pomona at the well
Even the grand old ocean with pride
begins to swell,
It's here that Father Sierra first came
around the horn,
They really think that California is
wwhere the Lord was born.
These grafters force you first to buy,
then boast their real estate
Then tell you how to get rich quick
just fold your arms and wait.
While all this may be true perhaps,
and I'll help to toot the horn
There's none to great as the good old
state back east where we were

tai and labor have no right to tie up
railroads, mines and industries while
citizens starve and freeze. On the
other hand, the public is bound to
know and do justice, which is the chief
end Of government. 1t should inyesti-
gate labor disputes and do justice to
rich and poor alike, thereby render
ing strikes unnecessary. No govern
ment founded upon injustice can long
endure. To know justice and to do it
is difficult; but we must do both to
survive as a nation.
Preparedness: Peace, not war, is our
aim. To deal with outlaw nations,
we must have strong navy and an

own misinterpretations of man, and its own misstatements of Spirit or Substance as real. Out of the abysmal depths of this unreality has arisen a mist or thick black cloud of false knowledge. .-.
 Thus mankind have found them selves the innocent victims of a mis- conceived existence, expressing itself in sin, sickness, sorrow, and death. It is the mission and province of Christian Science to clear away and to destroy these misconceptions con cerning God, these misinterpreta- tions relating to man, and these mis- statements about Substance, together with the sin, sickness, sorrow, death, and destruction which follow in the wake of this misconceived existence. It is the further happy mission and province of Christian Science to re- store to mankind the true reflection or image and likeness of God, and the true understanding of the nature and character of Causation.
 The Herald.
 In the marvellous revelation to John on the Island of Patmos, re- corded so clearly in the Apocalypse, the Christ, Truth, is represented as saying: "Behold, stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me-" In view of the continued attitude of mankind with their faces toward God, in view of. the continual reaching out toward the light of the Christ-truth, it is not surprising that, in the fulfill ment of the purpose of infinite Mind, the dawn of that day should break which had appeared to prophets of old as a possibility of the future. 1t is not surprising nor strange, then, that there should be found in the preface of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. viii which is the textbook of Christian Science, written by Mary Baker Eddy, the voice of herald crying: "The time for thinkers has come. Truth, independent of doctrines and time-honored systems, knocks at the portals of humanity. Contentment with the past and the cold conven- tionality of materialism are crumb- ling away. Ignorance of God is no longer the stepping-tone to faith. The only guarantee of obedience is right apprehension of Him whom to know alright is life eternal" On page 465 of this same textbook the following definition of God appears: |: "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love-" This definition of God is exact, scientific, Christian, and is in accord with the definitions of God found throughout the Scrip lures.
The Nenana daily news., 1920-07-20
Scientific Bases.

Since God, as the Scripture de- clares, is Spirit, Life, Truth, Love,
 an important inquiry presents itself:
 How will that person who is holding
 Tn consciousness humanly personal or corporeal sense of God be able to recognize and avail himself of
 the power and presence of God, the
 one Causation, in any and all emer-
 gencies and needs? Is it possible
 for such person to enjoy the presence and power of God without being able to recognize and identify the nature or character of true
 Causation, or God? Since, however, false sense of God must sooner
 or later be exchanged for a true
 idea of God in exactly the same
 manner that the false sense of all
 things must be exchanged sooner or
 later for their true sense,-as in
 the passin away of "the first heaven and the first earth" ,"-why should
 not that person who is holding 3
 false concept of God begin imme-
 diately here and now to gain a true
 understanding of the nature or char
 acter of Causation, or God? No
 commandment of God in the Deca- lodge of Moses says, Thou shalt not
 know; and no commandment in the
 decalogue of Mind declares, Thou shalt not understand. On the con- trary, that first great commandment
 enunciated by Moses and later em- phasized by Jesus declares specifcal- ly: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind," and surely it is the province of Mind to know. Indeed, it is diff cult to see how it would be possible for one to love and to obey God
 without being able to identify the nature or character of Deity.

FINANCING THE FARMERS.

For many years there has taken
place an annual disturbance of the
countrys finances as a result of the
necessity of providing funds for NOV
ing the crops. Money has moved from
Eastern financial centers to the in
terror and back again. At times
money has been scarce and has re-
fused to move. Business has suf-
fered in consequence.
There is being formulated in Wash
,ington. under the leadership of As
bury f. Lever of. the Farm Loan
Board, a bill devised to furnish the
farmers OF the nation with the capital
essential year by year for the orderly
marketing of their crops.
The Federal Reserve act 1t appears
did not adequately differentiate be-
tween general business and agricul-
ture. This. it is said. has been detri-
mental TO the latter, which has fl
nancial problems peculiar to itself.
The Farm Loan Banks, on the other
hand. were provided merely to fur
nish loans to farmers on general farm
mortgages. They are land banks and
accept real estate only as security for
loans. They do not, therefore. offer
financial facilities to farmers where
with to handle their crops.
The federal warehouse act, for
which Mr.. Lever was responsible, is
only beginning this year to be taken
advantage of. But it also lacked SONS
method whereby the commodities
warehoused could be financed other
than by individual effort at Iocal
banks,
What Mr.. Lever proposes to do now
. is to extend the principle underlying
the Farm-Eoan banks to the operation
of organized warehouses. He pro
poses to divide these warehouses into
geographical or commodity groups

The ruling of the interstate COM
rnerce commission in the railroad rate
case of New York is what reasonably
might have been expected. The SUI
premacy of federal power over that
of an individual state was settled at
Appomattox and in every clash of au-
thority since that time the federal
government has come out the winner
The precedent established in the New
York decision probably will put an end
to similar contentious by other states.
1t will be well if this prove true. The
railroads can not successfully serve
more than one master. There no
longer seems reason to doubt that in
terstate rates will supersede intra-
state rates thruout the country. The
states no longer have any rights which
The federal government is bound to
respect. Even California's anti-Jap-
anese law will go if Washington de-
eide that it is inimical to the general
welfare.
