Long Beach Press: Economies OF
some 1925, 100000 in federal govern
ment expenditures for the current fis-
cal year have been effected by the
national budget system, according to
report by General Dawes, director of
the budget In transmitting this report
to congress, President Harding speaks
of ''the determination of those in au-
thority to operate the government eff
feetively at the least possible cost, to
make the government s full contribu-
ton to a return to the normal ways of
peace and ultimately lifting the exces-
sive burden of taxation
These are the kind of achievements
and declarations of determination
which please the people. Adoption of
budget system has been advocated
for several years by both of the great
political parties. Now that the system
is established, it should be supported
by all parties. The business of govern
ment never should be political issue.
1t should be the constant, unremitting
purpose of the party in power at
shington-whichever party this may
be, at any given time-to operate the
government with the maximum of eff
ficieney and at the lowest possible cost
commensurate with proper quality in
administering governmental affairs.
There should be no partisanship in
this. 1t should be a service of patriot
ism and of conscience, in which repre-
sentatives of all political parties should
have part.

see who this is. Perhaps can help"
Uncle Wiggily peered through the
bushes and saw tangled in a wild grape
vine large blue bird with very long
legs and a long, sharp BILL.
''I am not afraid of Mr.. Long Bill, -
said Uncle Wiggily.
"No, indeed!' called out the big,
blue bird. "You haye no reason to be
afraid of me, Uncle Wiggily. L would
never harm you.'
"Thank you, Mr.. Long BILL spoke
the bunny. "But what is the trouble9''
"You may call me Mr.. Long Bill if
you wish," said the bird, "but you
might also as well say Mr.. Long Legs.
Ny real name is Blue Heron, and / am
in great trouble. L started to walk
through the woods, from one pond to
another, but my long legs became
tangled in the wild grape vines and L
can It get loose!''
"Please let me help you." begged
the bunny. With his sharp teeth Uncle
Wiggily gnawed through the tangle
of vines around the legs of the Blue
Heron and set Mr.. Long Bill free.
''Oh, thank you so much!" exclaim.
ed the Heron.
''Pray do not mention it, spoke
Uncle Wiggily, with low and polite
bow of his tall silk hat, and then, all
of % sudden, out from it fell Mrs.
Twistytail' s diamond ring, plopping
down into deep spring of water
nearby.

A few days ago l quoted in these
columns a letter which grown up
daughter wrote to her mother last
Mothers Day.
The daughter thanks her mother not
only for all she has done for her but
also for being such a wonderful person
SAYS that she has set before her
daughter beautiful ideal to remember
and strive towards. She thanks her for
her serenity, her simplicity, and gen
uineness, her tolerance and unselfish-
ness, her refinement and her jollity.
And she thanks her especially for the
habit of serenity which gave the home
that blessed, peaceful atmosphere that
so many homes lack.
A young married friend of mine who
has two small children happened to
drop in while / was copying that let
ter. While she waited for me l gave
it to her to read. e
Her Children
She read it very thoughtfully. When
she finished, she laid it down and said:
''I wonder if my children are going
to feel like that about me after they
grow up
Then she added. "They won t unless
/ give them reason to, will they? Chill
dren usually love their parents because
they are parents but they don t feel
that way about them unless they have
some real reason to. 1t would be love
y to get letter like, e,that. | think L
will begin now and work for it,.

"Oh, dear Now l have gone and
done it!' exclaimed Uncle Wiggily.
"Done what9' asked Mr.. Long Bill,
who had a very big beak.
"I'vc lost Mrs. Twistytail s diamond
ring.' sighed the bunny. "Nursc
Jane told me not to take off my hat.
Oh, how badly she II feel, and so will
the pig lady! [ wonder if / can reach
down under the water and fish up the
ring"
Uncle Wiggily tried, but his paws
were not long enough to reach the bot
tom of the pool.
"Let me do it for you,' croaked the
Heron. 81 can see where the ring lies
on the bottom, and l can easily reach
it with my long bill. Watch mel"
Uncle Wiggily did. Down under
water the Heron put his bill, bringing
up the sparkling diamond ring Il mo-
ment later.
"There you are!" he said to the
bunny.
.'Thanks! ehuckled Uncle Wiggily.
"Now we are even. You have done me
a favor And after this | shall carry
the ring in my pocket" Which he did,
soon afterward leaving it safely with
Mrs. Twistytail
And if the cats tail doesn't tickle
the stoves legs so it wants to dance
instead of baking the apple pie, III

One Minute Essay

When you travel on train you are
literally being supported by film of
oil. On the whole train not one axle IS
touching the metal of the bearing in
which IT rcYolves. In railway train
the boXcs, that will be seen at the ends
Of the aales on which the wheels are
fixed, are filled with grease. A very
thin film Of this grease is spread all
over the end of the axle and prevents
it from actually touching the bearing
in which it rcvolves. During jour
uey the original film is gradually worn
away and the bearing begins to get hot
owing to the increased friction. The
heat mclts the grease in the box and
q fresh film is spread round the arlc
and reduces the friction. Even in the
enormous mills used for rolling armor
plates, the entire weight Of every
moving part is literally floating on a
film Of oil. We're it not for this won
derful thin sheet of oil shaft turn:
ing in bearing would become red
hot in few minutes.

WORTH WORKING FOR

That was a new angle on Mothers
Dav for me but / think it is one worth
considering.
Liking and Loving
How are your children really going
to feel about you when they grow up,
vou young mothers. They will doubt
less love you because you are their
mother but surely you want something
more than that, dom you? You want
them to be proud of you, you want them
to love your character as well as your
self.
And the only way to win that KIND
of love is to deserve it,
1t is dangerous perhaps to imply
that all mothers do not deserve admir-
alton and reverence, as well as love
and tenderness. Put if one puts aside
false sentimentality and looks at the
subject in the light of true sentiment
one must know it is so. And as con
sequence one must surely feel that
one wants to be one of the mothers who
command love as an individual as well
as alP institution.
Begin Now
Character is the slowest thing i'll the
world to be built. Even the body
builds itself more rapidly than the char
acter. The best time to begin to build
the kind of character that is going to
make you fill the beautiful, and deli
cate, and difficult, and wonderful pos
ition of Mother with distinction and
honor is just as soon as you are old
enough to build character at all.

NOW COMES THE CHRONICLE

(The following is taken from the
Dodgeville Chronicle, an ultra-conser-
vative weekly)
Senator La Toilette is making an
aggressive campaign in his fight for
senator. To our mind there is no
question as to the Senator's re-noml-
nation or reelection. There is not
the slightest chance to defeat him.
His attitude on all public questions
seems to be in sympathy with the
great masses. They believe in him
and they trust him. While his record
during the war was open to criticism
yet-the war is over and there is no
evidence strong enough to convince
us that Senator La roulette was ever
disloyaI. We have never been in sym
pathy with his policies but there are
many things about the man in the
courage of his convictions that we
cannot help but admire.

Burnell spent his boyhood on a farm

He lived with his mother on the farm
and made the home for her and only

to Bloomington to make their home.
He was a kind and loving son and
brother and will be missed in the old

long made his home.
All that loving hands and medical
aid could do was done to prolong the
life but it was the dear lords way
instead of ours, his untimely depart
ure is mourned by his grief-stricken
mother. Mrs. Minnie Cooley, four
brothers, William, Clarence, Orion
and Frederick, and one sister, Helen,

great many relatives and friends to
mourn the loss of friend and rela-
