GROWTH OF AN IDEA

Newspaper reports indicate that Easter services upon
the celebration of that great religious festival were
widely held and eaborately planned than ever
before Here Southern California where climatic con-
dtons favorable to it there distinct growth of
outdoor exercises Not only the grateful climate
tribute to their success but there romantic
spots where the beauty of the landscape makes possible
to worship in simple and impressive fashion, These have
lent encouragement the idea of sunrise services on
Easter until there very communities that
are observing them in this way. This has about
largely through the example set by the people Of Riverside
where Mt Rubidoux, elevation we'll within the city
limits affords rugged shrine upon whose crosscrowned
summit thousands annually pour out their praises and
thanksgiving for the of resurrection and
union with those love who have before These SER
vices been held for dozen and recurring
Easter day swollen hrong of pilgrims there to take
part the impressive observance The men who estaD-
lshed discerning who know what hold the
longing for Immortality has upon the human heart Their
dedication of this mountain and the setting OF SYM
boc cross commemoraon of that tragic and faroff
event in Judea stamped them and prophets In
Vulnerable have been refreshed that holy mount
and vaster host will yet feel the spiritual exaatIon IN
years to come. And example is being made OF 1T IN
many other places that its impulse for good can have no
limits set It fortunate that take occasional note
of such affairs that too firm faith in the ultimate
redemption of mankind may be strengthened from time to
time.

THE FARMER AND THE PART
RIDGE

II Saturday Evening Post: People
whose occupation is other than farm
ing might as well realize now, for they
will have to do so later, that the
farmer is actively resentful of the fact
that he has been so much more COM
pletely debated than other elements in
the national process of wealth produc-
ton The products which he has to
sell have gone the limit on the down.
ward plunge; but there are other prices
and profits, as well as salaries and
wages, which he feels are artificially
held up.
Relief for the farmer would come in
a measure if the whole structure of
prices and wages could be more even
ly and thoroughly shaken down. But
fundamentally there must be greater
demand for his produce. That in turn
depends upon export trade and inter
national fiance, both of which involve
numerous complicated questions and
the entire problem of world recovery.
Organization on the part of the farmer
might help to remove these obstacles,
but there is no short cut back to Eden.
Specifically, organization accomplish
es next to nothing when it consists of
the citizen s reliance upon the state
vaguely to do something for which can
best be accomplished by himself. The
The comparative failure of patcrnal-
istic state experiments in North Da-
kota, when contrasted with the success
of cooperative self-help on the part of
agricultural producers on the Pacific
Coast, is a more striking object lesson
than is contained in all the books or
speeches ever written on economies.
A family of partridges had been
living all summer in field of grain,
until one day Il little partridge said to
its mother, 81 heard the farmer tell
ais son and the hands to NOW this
field today. Hadn Z we better novel,
"Oh, no, not yet, | guess" said the
old partridge.
A few days later the little partridge
again warned its mother that il had
overheard the farmer tell his helpers
TO NOV the field. But the old bird was
still indifferent. Finally one day the
4ittlc partridge told its mother of hav-
ing heard the farmer say, ~ IN going
to NOW the field today myself
"That s quite a different matter, -
said the mother. "We viii move at
once.

THE GRIEVANCE LOVER

Besides which, further acquaintance
with the elderly chambcrmaid and her
mournful manner had made me already
suspect that the key to her troubles lay
where the KEY to such troubles so often
lics-in self-pity and the habit OF en-
joying grievances.
The reason she didn't 20 out was
plainly because she enjoyed feeling
that she didn t get n chance to.
Enjoys Her Grievance
Of course if she had really been very
anxious to go, that would have made a
difference, but she was in strange
town, there was nothing to pull her
out and if she stayed in she could have
n grievance. So she stayed and en-
joyed that grievance just as much as
some people enjoy u pleasure.
Haven't you met that sort of person
And aren't you very leary of them' l
am. / try never to have anything to
do with them if I can help it. It's too
dangerous. You never know where you
stand with them or how they are max
ing you look to other people.

Barley Basis Of Weight.

During the reign Of Henry VIII
standards Of length and weight were
established with actual grains of
wheat and barley as basis. Three
barley corns were. an inch, and from
that was builtfup our table Of inches,
feet, ellis (yards), perch and acre.
One restriction was that the barley
corn must be, dry. and taken from the
middle Of the car and laid end to: end.
Under this same system 80 grains Of
wheat made a pennyweight, and from;
that as a basis they worked out the
Troy pound in which u ounces still
