Lloyd George called the
Turks swarlike animals" and
they dislike it. Kemal Pasha
got the speech by wire, and his
friends suggest that he will
start more fighting, presumably
TO prove that Turks are not
fighting animals.
Lloyd George also told his
crowd that the Turks are men
that cannot be bluffed: Brave
men," he called them. That
ought to offset the fighting
animals" insult, especially as
they ARE fighting animals. II
they could think as we'll as
they can fight, they'd frighten
Europe. Better thinking is Eu-
ropes safety.
Ford cuts the price Of his
cars fifty dollars on all models,
making the lowest price for
any car at any time.
II that is Henry Ford's way
OF running for the Presidency,
1t will prove a popular way.
The people would like to see
coal men, packers and landlords
running for office on the same
basis.
The Rev. Mr.. Hall, of New
Jersey, called his choir leader
Dear Gypsy" and she called
him Dear Babykins." in their
excited correspondence. Re-
Gently they were found to-
gether, in the tall goldenrod,
he with a bullet in his head,
she with two bullets and her
throat cut, both dead.
Five thousand years ago, on
the banks of the Nile, ladies
and gentlemen were found
killed, in the manner of the
period, for calling each other
"babykins" in Egyptian. But
men and women never learn
to keep away from such little
names, and from each other.
Nobody knows who killed
"Gypsy" and "Babykins," but
everybody guesses. II the law
proves it, no one probably will
be convicted. One force drives
"Babykins" to Gypsy" an
other drives the unnamed per-
son to the killing. The jury
knows that the whole thing is
beyond control Of the triangle.
B. C. Forbes tells you some
\ thing new and important about
, California, and that Golden
Southwest" Nine years ago,
California produced only 10,-
600 bales of cotton, and Ari-
zona less. In 1920 California,
Arizona and the Imperial Val
lev in Mexico produced $780,
900 bales. Los Angeles harbor
shipped $4,000 bales in 1920,
shipped 104,08S bales in 1921,
and will ship 10000 bales
this year; $4,000 bales went to
The long, dry growing sea.
.on makes the boil weevil
harmless in these regions. And
Ns t,,oIy. and a half million
acres good for cotton, only
$4,000 acres have been used
so far. What will that crop
he in years to come. And
where can you set q limit to
wealth possibilities Of that
part of America!
California goes at things IN
the right, modern way. While
growers produce the cotton Los
Angeles provides a high density
cotton compressor working at
the rate of a bale a minute.
THAT is the way to meet for
eign competition, with greater
efficiency, better machinery.
Dear brains can beat cheap
labor.
4 Prosecutors want to Jail a
nublisher for publishing the
HSatyricon" Of Petronius, and
thew probably ought to succeed.
ais the work an accepted classic
Of literary and historical value ?"
IA not the real question.
"Why does the publisher put
out the book?" is the question.
Ia the book published because OF
its value, or because Of its in
decencies? Rabelais is a writer
among the dozen greatest Of all.
Yet publishing his WORKS indis-
criminately, not expurgated.
would be criminal. All that is
great in any book can be pre-
served with elimination Of
parts unfit for modern general
distribution and courts should
so decide.
