Sometimes We Wonder

Do grouches make a fortune
more readily than those who are
sweet-tempered?
A man may spend ten cents
apiece for his three cigars day;
but may his wife spend thirty
cents day for candy?
Punctuality is the virtue that
keeps you waiting many time
and oft. Yet it is worth while.
We can all nobly meet the
temptation that hasn't much of an
appeal.
We Learn From Them
Remorse is one of the teachers
on the faculty of the school run
by experience. Discretion is
another.
If country people realized how
strongly city people admire coun-
try scenes, they'd be prOuder.
Scatter praise; most people
don't get as much as they de-
serve.
Motion Still With Us
Some old vain notion hangs on,
that the. purpose of an education
is to earn money instead of en-
abling a man to understand the
earth he lives on.
Try self-denial and strengthen
your soul. When a man tells a
funny story, laugh and don't tell
another one.
The cautious are always sitting
up all night nursing the reckless;
usually, very fond of them, too.

WHAT HAS THE NYE
INVESTIGATION REVEALED?

News Item: Morgan firm called
again in Arms Quiz"
Two weeks ago, the senate munition
committees hearing broke up in a cloud
of personal petty-politics accusations.
Senator Nye and Senator Clark tson of
Champ" Clark took out their ancient
grudges against Woodrow Wilson by
accusing the former president of falsi-
fication. Actually, the purpose of the
Investigation is TO find out WHY WE
GOT INTO THE WORLD WAR Once
that question would have brought refer
ences to making the world free for de
mocracy or waging war to end wars
Today, this country looks back and, for
getting the idealistic excuses wants to
know just how and why we got into that
expensive conflict There is another
European squabble going on today. 1t
may get worse and we might get into II.
So, we want to find out the causes and
guard against an intelligent neutrality
bill. The purpose of the investigation Is
therefore, most laudible But the results
have been VIRTUALLY nil. J. P. Morgan'S
international banking activities were
revealed in a suspicious light, but on the
whole, j. p Morgan is a business man,
and the only difference between his fl
nancial negotiations and those of the
average business man, is that Morgan
does in big way what smaller business
firms do in lesser degree. 1t has been
revealed that the causes of war are i'm
personal and not individual. No one
man, Morgan, or Wilson or anyone else
pushed this peace-loving people into war.
From the maze of intricate evidence thus
far produced, arises the impressive con-
victon that the system of international
trade, international business, lnterna-
tional banking and our touted theory of
protecting the American dollar when it
strays into other countries-that is what
is wrong. A neutrality BILL refusing to
protect foreign investment or travel or
shipping to any warning nation, compell-
ing dollars to stay at home and Amer
leans to do the same-that should be
adopted and made iron-bound. Though
the Nye investigation hasn't as yet paid
its cost in information obtained, if it
finds how to include in the Neutrality
bill the proper stopgaps, it may yet
prove worthwhile.

PIONEERING IN PORK
California Progress Review

1t is not difficult TO understand why pig
raising may seem somewhat less aluring than
hunting gold did to the forty-niners. But enc of
these days some enterprising California farmers
are going to awaken to the truth that there's
gold in them thar pigs
Just when we thought the frontiers all gone
the paths in every direction already marked
with the footsteps of our forefathers, we are
reminded that there is today in California a
chance to 60 pioneering-pioneering in pork.
Last week the president OF one of the worlds
greatest packing houses in the Middle West
visited this state. He admired CALIFORNIA; diver
sification Of crops, our habit of not putting all
our eggs in one basket of raising fruits and nuts,
grain grapes cotton and a host of other COM
modities.
But most Of all, he was struck by the fact
that we raise virtually no hogs. We have ideal
facilities, since barley is exceptionally suited
for feed in place of the corn which we lack.
Yet each year we import from the Middle West
great quantities Of portland the money we
pay for it, instead of adding to own pros
perity goes into the pockets of others
This is not the first time it has been said
that there is no good reason why California
can not and should not raise all the pork we
consume But this reminder is one of the
strongest yet registered, coming as it does from
the chief Of a great meat packing house, man
who knows his business.
If his words take effect California will owe
him vote of thanks.

A FARMERS
CONSTITUTIONS

When c. o. Hoober, president of the
Imperial County Farm bureau, spoke
before the Joint meeting of bureau direc-
tors and the agricultural committee of
the California Bankers Association the
other day, he made an utterance which
is worthy of being framed and hung on
the living room walls of every Valley
home. It was: you can't expect us to
go on feeding you folks in the cities un-
less we make a decent living by the
operation All who are better inform
ed are coming to realize the closely knit
connection between the prosperity of
agriculture and the prosperity of the
rest Of the country" Those words should
be inscribed in bronze and labelled The
Farmers Constitution. Any govern
ment which disregards Hoober's funda-
mental statement is bound to fail, no
matter what it does to uphold and assist
manufacturing and other forms of in
dustry and business. Were congress to
solve this one. perplexing problem, leav-
ing all others TO their own devices, we
are convinced that the nation would
soon be back to normally.
