furnished with even greater Law
ishness, continues in its second
year of smash business among re
velers. 1t is an elaboration of Billy
Roses original dinner, dance and
show idea, done with a heft and
collecting $500 persons on a busy
night. Oddly, its clientele is a So
so mixture of hardened Broad
Wayites and folk from out of town.
An amazing audience phenomenon

In Swimming through our guest
book today I came upon the sig
natures of James Norman Hall.
Now the Hall of Nordhoff and Hall,
whose sea stories such as "Mutiny
on the Bounty" and THE Hurri-
cane are likely to become Ameri-
can classics. He was an obscure
writer for the pulps then-a self
effacing sprig with a self-conScious
WiSp of muStache at which he ner-
vously plucked. He looked with
spaniel worship upon Floyd Glib
bons, who brought him to call. To-
day he has become almost as well
known as Gibbons and probably
with his partner is a member of
the most financially successful writ
ing team OF the day.

The column today ends on a
melancholy doWn-beat. He was a
pinch-faced tyke, thinly clad, and
shivering in front of a seventh av-
enue place that cooks giant hams
and roasts in the window. His eyes
seemed to glow fever bright lust
watching. Edging up, I inquired:
Ever been inside, Sonny?" No
dramatiSt could concoct a more
poignant reply: once, but only to
sniff" And his hunger was real, so
incredibly real it would have wrung
your heart.

OF O0ner farmers has greatly mcreaS-
ed. As sound grOIcth of prosperity
n Imperial Valley largely depends
upon resident OICRerS and operators,
continued increase is much to be de-
sired.
To those who are interested in the
fundamental solidarity of Imperial Val
ley's immediate future, very encourage
ing sign is the unmistakeable movement
back to the farms now taking place in
California.
According to the results of federal
survey, just published there were A.
684 more farm operators in 1885 than in
1929 in this state Of this number 5000
were operators who own their entire
farms.
One thing that Imperial Valley espe-
cially needs-possibly above all others
is increased percentage of resident
farm owners. Not that the large land
owners, both cooperative and individual,
have not proved an asset in many ways
During the past lean years, the fact that
they had sources of income outside the
Valley helped weather the financial
storms and drouth conditions.
But Imperial Valley needs more than
mere production. 1t needs resident own
ership so that those who reap the profit
able income may build better and more
comfortable homes here, spend their in
come in this area, increase the prosper
ity of the entire area and participate
more interestedly in the activities of fu-
ture improvement and present good
citizenship.
The day has long since passed when
Imperial Valley was considered as
place to endure for few years while
piling up a fortune Today it has be-
come place in which to make ones per-
manent residence Where landowners
establish homes, there is to be found
building, Identification, solidarity. Such
localities are pointed to as prosperous
communities, and Imperial Valley,
with an increase in resident farmers,
can become the most prosperous COM
munity in California.
Far-sighted Valleyites believe that
they see today, the real beginning of the
destiny for which the Valley has waited
many years.
1t is to be hoped that the increase
in resident-farmers will continue.

The republicans of Montana, in con-
vention last week in Billings, opened
their state platform with these fighting
words:
"The representatives of the republi-
can party in Montana, convened in state
convention at Billings on Sept. 4, 1886,
in humble acknowledgement of the
party's great responsibility to the peo-
pie of Montana and to their fellow
Americans, and with earnest prayer
to Almighty God for divine guidance in
the discharge of that responsibility:
Call upon all citizens of Montana, ir-

it will set the pattern of government

and perhaps determine the survival of

fairs of men everywhere.

A LITTLE CHILD IS A
PRECIOUS THING.

Last Tuesday morning school bells
were again heard and once more that
great American institution, the Ameri-
can public school system, started OPP
erations for one more year.
In Libby as elsewhere all over the
land, scores of precious little boys and
girls trudged to school for the first
time and began the work that in II
years will graduate them from the high
school
What powerful influence that study
and association will have upon those
young livesl There they will learn
not only the first fundamentals of an
education but upon those young re-
ceptive minds there will be implanted
ideals, and ideals are what make and
break lives and civilizations. Be
cause ideals form and color mans
convictions and "as a man believeth in
his heart so is ha."
Up to the time that these little ones
experience their first day of school,
the forming of their lives has been
largely confined to the parents. But
now there enters a new influence, the
impress Of the class room and Of the
teachers personality.
Probably few Of us recognize how
supremely high is the vocation held by
the teachers of our children. To a
large extent they are looked up to- adj
mired and respected. They often be-
come models upon which the young
people unconsciously pattern their own
lives. And what a powerful influence
that position. gives them!
A little child is a precious thing.
Speed the time when everyone of them
will be we'll born, born into homes Of
cleanliness. into homes of high ideals
and into pleasant and worthy environ
ment The outstanding fault of our
present civilization is that so huge a
number Of little children are born into
surroundings where they simply do not
have chance. What a transcendent
duty faces parents, teachers and law
makers.
