FARMERS PLIGHT BETTER
e g e e g 6 6, g q

Long Beach Press: Improvement has
come to business and industry all over
the country, says George NJ. Reynolds,
the noted Chicago banker. This bet
tered condition is buttressed by mark
ed improvement in the agricultural sit
uation. Mr.. Reynolds has held con
sistently that there could be no great
progress in the general economic situa
tion until conditions improved for the
farmer.
Farmers not only have been benefited
materially, by the appreciation IN the
value of farm products, but they have
been enheartened. This psychologist
phase is of the greatest Importance.
For with the farmers cheerful and op-
timistic, things are sure to go better
in agriculture. And when the farmer
thrives, all other interests thrive with
him.
Mr.. Reynolds has made a tour of in
spection of the Pacific coast and the
Middle West. He speaks from first
hand knowledge and observation. Mr..
Reynolds judgment is unquestionable
with Californians, who know him and
have appreciation of his acumen. 9th
er men of large affairs have gone over
the West recently and agree with Mr..
Reynolds, notably Eugene Meyer, Jr.,
head of the War Finance corporation.
These men are not talking idly and
rccklessly, to boost conditions beyond
what the facts warrant.

Lost or Thrown Away

Are you sure you lost that friend or
did you throw her away by saying
something about her which you
wouldn It have said if you had ever
expected it to reach her ears, and
which did reach her ears-probably in
an exaggerated form.
I wonder if that ism the way that
two-thirds of all lost friends are lost.
We like our friend and we admire
her but Of course there are certain
things about her --. And so we say
something witty or caustic or unkind
to someone who doesn t care very much
for her chow often we go back to our
friends this way when we are influ-
enced by some strong personality that
is antagonistic to him or her). And
presently what you said has travelled
back to her, with none of its unkind
ness lost and probably some added.
Leaving Scar
Sometimes of course your friend will
tax you with saying what you did, and
the sore viii be opened up and by
the aid of nature and whatever oint-
ment you are able to apply, will heal
(but very likely leave Il scare). And
sometimes you yourself will tax her
with her coldness and bring the trou-
bic to the surface that way. But the
cOmmoner outcome is unexplained
coldness on her part, offense on yours,
then coldness on yours, then II lost
friend
Is it worth it? DO not those who
prefer Loyalty to the fleeting pleasure
of being witty or caustic at their
friend S expense chose the better part!

THE LOST FRIEND

Did you ever mislay a friend with
out BEING able in any way to account
for the accident?
Here's the sort of thing | mean.
You have a perfectly good friend,
someone you enjoy and like and whom
YOU feel quite sure enjoys and likes
you, Whenever you plan to see each
other, or whenever chance brings you
together you meet with delight and
cordially and straightway you have a
hundred things to say.
And then one day you meet your
friend and behold, the cordiality that
YOU expect does not come to greet
your own. Instead there is a coldness
in her manner, she smiles with her lips
instead of with her eyes, ask formally
about your health, and the health of
your family, instead of bursting out
with something she has been wanting
to tell you, and turns at the first op-
portunity to talk with her neighbor on
the other side.
But You Do Care!
Perhaps you convince yourself that
you imagined that coldness, and call
her up the next day and suggest that
she take that walk that you have long
been planning. Whereupon she is aw-
fully sorry but she has got engagements
for every day i'll the week. That settles
it. You hang. up the telephone and
tell yourself that you don't know
what S the matter with her, and you
don t care.
But you do care. We all do No
one likes to lose friend Especially
without knowing the reason. There is
something so haunting and mystifying
about it-besides the natural regret.
Now here s a suggestion.

proposals for amendments to the mea-

posed amendments are:
That tEa members of the House of
Delegates be elected for a four-year
or two-session term. and that the cleo
tion be held at the "Off year" Congress

the Presidential election. The present
bill provides for the election OF the
House CT Delegates for two years, as
at present, one election to be held in
the Presidential year
That all members OF the State Sen
ate be elected at the same time for the
present four-year terms, instead of
electing half of the upper chamber at
every other election as at present. and
as contemplated in the present bill
That other State offices. as well as
county offices, be accommodated To SUIT
this plan. and that they be so arrang-
ed that practically all, if not all, OF
them be put on the ballot in the off
