The Yearning for Knowledge

THE children of Del Mar. Cal, re-
i spectfully petition that school open
a week in advance Of the time set. To
voluntarily sacrifice . week of vacation
time is unprecedented in the annals of
public education. 1t indicates that de-
termination and eagerness for knowledge
upon which our institutions must thrive
and endure, beacon light to the ignor-
ant everywhere
Incidentally, Del Mar has Just finished
a splendid new school playground which
the children will be able to enjoy at once
by letting one week of vacation time go.

up. In may instances there is also a tendency to advance prices. In this we believe there is an appreciable element of danger that should not be over- looked by the wise merchant. The buying public, although in a favorable mood now, has suffered much from the depre- dations of the speculator and profiteer and would be in- clined to change to a less fav- orable buying attitude if it sensed a general movement in the direction of higher prices.
 To our view the proper play for the retailer is to make the most of present opportunities and at the same time carry on his operations in a way to safe gueard the continuance of the feeling of optimism which pre- vails.

IL is generally accepted that 1925 VII be a year of reason able prosperity. Such an ex- recitation, of course, assumes that the general public--the consuming public--will be in an optimistic frame of mind and therefore, will not hold back in it's buying. This as- sumption is justified yet a word of caution to the vendors of supplies seems timely.
 Past experience has shown that hand in hand with pros porous conditions comes a change in business habits on the part of many of those who supply the needs of the con- sumcrs. The downward press ure on the expense of doing business on the part of many producers and retailers eases

Should the calendar be changed so that we will have la year composed of thirteen months of twenty-eight days each, with Heap year" at the end of each year?
 Don't throw up your hands and say it's. foolish, for some pretty learned men have been figuring it out-men who have devoted far more study to the proposition than anyone in this locality-and they declare that there is a great deal of merit in such a proposal. In fact there is an organization known as the International Fixed Cal endar League, with hundreds of members scattered over the world, and they are advocating the change to a thirteen-month year, with twenty-eight days in each month.

Tho who like to attribute their failure to achieve success to what they choose to term lack of opportunity are offer ing a futile excuse. Opportun- ity' ever waits for those who are wi ing to work out their destiny by accepting the sim pie materials that Providence places within the reach of al- most everyone. Lincoln's edu- cational library was composed of th4 B'ble and the dictionary. One of the most eloquent law yers this country ever produced acknowledges that he owes his eloquence to the simple fact that years ago he was win- ter-bound in a cabin in the mountains of Colorado with nothing but Webster's diction- ary for a companion. Thru the long hours of weeks and month he studied the diction- ary 10 divert his mind from mo- notany. He learned it's pages by heart. And when Spring came he found himself such a me ster of words that he was able to sway the multitude ". h his eloquence.
 Too many men want to start at the top. They want to build the tower before they build the foundation. They are all front door and when you open the door you find yourself in tn back yard. They who seek success should make use of the simple materials they have at hand. By doing so they will ultimately find a place in the sun.

There was a head-on collision on a certain Western railway and many people were injured. When the wrecker arrived the crew began to search for bod .ies before attempting to move any of the cars and found an old colored Pullman porter fast asleep in the wreck.The res cuers aroused him and asked i:

 Wishing to teach the lesson of self-sacrifice, his mother re- piled: "Very we'll, dear; if you would like to go without sugar for week I'll give you the money instead, and then you will have some to send to them"
 Johnnie grinnsd broadly for Ia few moments, then became suddenly thoughtful and said:
 !" Must it be sugar, mama ?"
 Why no, darling" was the reply, "not necessarily sugar. What would you like to do without more than sugar."
 "Soap.," Johnny promptly re- piled.

 J. J. Elliott, representative from the Nome division, spoke about the rank ing industry of the Nome country reindeer. MT. Elliott came out via dog team with Will Lomen, of Lomen Brothers Reindeer Co. They have three cold storage plants now in the Territory and are trying to get cold storage plants on board ships.

He expressed confidence in all the representatives from this division, in acting for the best inter- ests of the division.
 H. V. Hoben, local capitalist, said he was very glad to be present and declared the greatest interst right now was the appointment of honest and conscientious officials in the Bu- reau of Fisheries and Surveys; that heads of the departments should ap- point men qualified to give an accu- rate report on fishing conditions and the bureau should carry out the report as recommended.

 H. H. Ross, Territorial representa- tive from the Fourth division, spoke about the numerous bills which would be before the House this session and that additional taxation of fisheries products. He said the Territorys re- serve fund was down to S100,000 and while he was opposed to any further taxation, some means must be devised to raise funds for the territory.
