Editorial Comment
In the Public Service
(NapoleOn Homestead)

Primary elections throughout the country indicate q
greater interest in things governmental. It has been q
long, hard fight to get people to vote. The campaign
has been strenuous, almost as much as have the cam
paigns Of the candidates themselves. But precinct work
ers don't have to go out and get as many people and
"haul" them to the polls nowadays. The automobile has
lightened citizenship has had more to do with it.
A citizen is in the public service in a large way when
he exercises the privileges of the ballot. One OF the first
duties Of q citizen is to study measures for their merits
and investigate candidates for their qualifications. The
next duty Is to 60 to the polls and vote as conscience and
prudence direct. There Is no other path to good citizen
ship with respect to the elective franchise. vote as you
please~hM1 NOTEl" Is one Of the finest slogans ever
devised. It suggests nonpartisanship, admonishes to
civic duty and encourages good government.
Democracy can not stand unless voters vote. AS to
the intelligence reflected In balloting, somehow and some
way the people as q rule do not go far from right. This
Is especially true In matters Of financial appropriations
and moral questions Often there Is too much politics
involved In the selection Of men. But as Lincoln said,
you can't fool the people all the time.

3RAPEs ARE EASILY DrGEsTED

GRAPES ARE EASILY DIGESTED
It has BEEN estimated that this
years grape crop win exceed all pre-
vioas years. For this reason grapes
will likely be both plentiful and In
expensive, and everyone should take
advantage Of this situation and use q
large quantity Of this valuable blood
building fruit, both In the fresh state
aud In the form Of grape juice.
The United States Government,
through the federal farm bureau, Is
planning to place the grape and raisin
crop In the hands Of q control board
for distribution, either fresh. or In
the form Of by-products, such as grape
Juice, jelly, or other ways helpful to
the grower. In order to ave the sur
plus grapes, which cannot be sold
fresh and will not keep, q large por-
ton Of the crop will be converted into
grape juice. The tremendous quantity
to be converted viii be realized when
1t Is estimated to equal q gallon OF
Juice for every person in North Amer
lea.
In America the largest amount OF
grapes comes from the Pacific Coast
where about 30 per cent Of the grapes
in the American market Is raised.
It Is interesting to know that many
Of the most popular grapes are from
the same varieties as mentioned In
the Bible. There is plenty Of evidence
to believe that the grape Is one OF
the oldst fruits, the grapevine prob
ably being one Of the numerous creep
ing vines to grow out Of the mud Of
the Paleozoic jungles. The records Of
grape cultivation go back for at least
5000 years, but the Phoenicians were
the first to cultivate grapes extern
sively.
It was thought by many grape
growers that prohibition In the United
States would destroy grape culture,
but this has not been generally true.
for many people did not count on
the extension OF the practice OF man
ufacturing wine within the homes,

voted to table and wine grapes is In

But the looks OF the cup are deceiving. The story Per
sists that an enthusiast once sought to drink from 1t
and poured his refreshments into the cups mouth only
to see it flow out upon the floor. For the famous "old
mug" has no bottom. And it wasn't designed In q pro-
hibltio1 era. either.
The cup was won for the United States in 1851 by the
America, a yacht that sailed alone against the whole
Royal Yacht Squadron Of England. One Of the specta-
tors at that race was Queen Victoria, and her presence
had a great deal to do with the fact that Sir Thomas,
now making his fifth attempt to regain the cup. has
spent easily 100000 to reestabhsh England's title to
sailing supremacy.
AS a 10-year-old boy, the Prince of Wales dater King
Edward VII, stood on the deck Of the royal yacht and
watched the America sail rings around the British squad
ron in 1851. The Prince also witnessed the ~chagrtned
surprise Of his mother, and he was impressed by 1t. for
he knew that Queen Victoria would not stay around from
morning till night to see what would happen to an or
binary $500 sporting trophy, nor would she be bothered
by its loss.
When the Prince was older, and something Of a diplo-
mat who understood the value Of international contests
In promoting good will and In stimulating national sen
timent, he urged Upton to attempt the seemingly hope
less task Of regaining the cup.
Sir Thomas has been the only Britsher with the
money and desire to bring the cup back to England who
has seen fit to make the effort. For that reason many
Americans we're hopeful that the Shamrock would be re-
turned the winner. OF course there is still a chance but
it is so slim as to be negligible.
There is always one fine thing about it. however. and
that is old Sir Thomas. He may always be depended up
on to give q splendid demonstration Of true sportsman
ship.

A New Use for the TelephOto

The telephoto process, by which pictures are trans
mitted over long distances by wire, has been widely used
by newspapers and by advertising agencies; and now a
real estate salesman also has found it valuable.
This salesman was in Los Angeles, selling a $4,000
house to Burton Holmes, the well-known lecturer. But
Mrs. Holmes was in New York; and any householder can
see that no man could buy a house that his wife had
never seen.
But 1t didn't stump the salesman. He telephotoed a
picture Of the house to Mrs. Holmes, and followed 1t,
on her request, with a telephoto Of the kitchen. She
approved, and the sale was made.
Score another point for the telephoto process.
