Willis Thornton's Editorial on:
He Wanted an Education and Got 1t

and IYar plunged into evenings oil
study. minutes snatched between
chores, Sunday afternoons buried
in prescribed books.
The other day he finished the
work. The studies begun Al years
before were completed. He had
broken the bars which had closed
him off from that other world
he had achieved the desire that
had smouldered SO long within him.
TO what end? Not, perhaps that
war will ever leave the farm, now.
Not that he will ever get a better
Job or, perhaps, make any prac-
tical application of the things he
has learned. But a zeal for un-
derstanding which al years of
grinding farm toll cannot kill con-
tains its own reward.
To understand, for the sake of
our own peace of mind, as much
as we can of the wonderful and
mysterious world about us-that
is in itself something worth all
the years and all the dreaming of
Ivar Stuejord, or of any other man.

SAINTS AND SOCIETY
Minneapolis (Minn.) JournaD

Problems are never solved en- masse.
There are abuses to be rectified, injus-
tees to be set right, general conditions
which ought to be changed, and some
Of these ends can be achieved only by
concerted action. But all this takes time.
In the meantime the business of
individual living will not wait. The more
patiently and intelligently we face our
own life and its immediate problems, the
sooner we shall find the path to the gen.
eral good. 1t is not true that society
of saints would automatically solve all
human difficulties, but there is little
doubt that they would achieve that end
sooner than society of thieves and glut-
tons. The Wisest social organization
will fail if the individuals who compose
society are unworthy. While we are wait
ing for Utopia, we can find happiness
in love and friendship, and satisfaction
in the doing of the days work. Is not
this after all the greatest need of the
world today

optimism.
Nevertheless. the prospects for
an actual peace treaty, or even for
an armistlce, are exceedingly dark.

JOBS ARE THERE IF
YOU GO AFTER THEM

There was a story in the paper the
other day that should have served as an
inspiration TO many of the young people
who have just finished their education
the school part of it, that is-and are
looking about for jobs
It was the story of John A. West, jr.,
Of Chicago, young man with the usual
college education. probably with about
the usual ability TO hold a job, and with
the usual problem of finding one to
hold. In one thing he was unusual. He
had initiative.
Young Mr.. West wrote a letter embody-
ing an idea that was only slightly origi-
nal, and mailed il to 81 firms he con-
sidered prospective employers. Among
other things he said You're getting
ahead and I'm going your way. Have
you room . for man who can prove
he's worth his salt >"
Young Mr. West got a job. He got not
one but several offers. and was able to
select the one he liked best.
Pull? No. he didn't have any.
Luck? You couldn't call it that.
Extra ability? He hasn't had chance
To prove it yet.
What young Mr. West had and the
thing that got him a job, and the thing
that could get thousands of other young
Americans jobs, was the determination
10 get a job, plus a sensible way of going
after one.
He didn't sit around on his doorstep
waiting for someone to offer him some
thing to do. He didn't expect to start in
at the top, and stay there the rest of his
life. He wasn't looking for a position
with four-hour working day and two
hour lunch period. He was looking for
a job of work, and the chances are he
got one.
The chances are furthermore, that he
will hold it, and work up through the
years.
If more young men and women spent
less time in pool halls and card clubs,
and more time devising ways of obtain
ing jobs, there would be more stories
like that of young Mr.. West-and less
talk about the problems youth must face

been in business since ne NaS eWeil-
". The letter is written in excel
lent English.
He saws he was born with a
haSty temper, and that II has been
a trouble-maker for him all his
life. He would argue until his head
ached. he says. and yet nothing was
ever settled by these arguments!
Arguments evidently work the same
way in the Celestial Kingdom as
they do in this and every other
country.
Would you like to know how he
went about getting along with peo-
pie? Well. here are the three steps
he took.
/. He made a resolution that he
would not criticize people.
2. He decided that instead OF
arguing he would try TO convince
by tact and understanding. He re-
solved to stop going after people
with hammer and tongs.
3. He decided he would be friend
ly instead of cold and aloof.
Do you think these simple rules
worked? OF course they did They
worked in China. They will work
anywhere. He gives three instances
of how they worked. l have room
for only one, and I will let him
tell it i'll his own words:
Our company broke the regula-
tions OF the Chinese Maritime Com
mission. This was grave offense,
and we were open TO a fine. II was
not our fault We had broken the
regulations, but they were broken
and We were to be held responsible.
Something had to be done about
il, but we didn't know what. There
was that fine. No way to get around
it.
we decided to go TO the customs
official and protest bitterly, and
then We thought that we would not
do this at all. We would try some
thing else. We went to the official
and apologized for what we had
done. Next we told him We had not
done it Intentionally, and that We
respected him and the regulations
his port had TO work under. Next
We told him that We would not do
it again, and that We would try
not to cause him, or his office, any
trouble in the future. The official
was impressed. He saw that we were
sincere and earnest. Then he came
half way to meet us. He said that
he believed we meant what we said
and that there would be no fine.
How delighted we Were!'
These rules will work for you
too. There is nothing mystic about
them. Just plain common sense.
Now here they are very briefly.
!. Don't criticize.
2. Don argue.
3. Be friendly.
4. When you are wrong, admit
it and apologize.

Famous Sayings

Forty-one years ago-that was
the year the boys of 98 sailed 1or
Cuba-there was q young 1arm
boy in Pennsylvania who was IN
the midst of his high school stud
les.
Ivar Stuejord was his name, and
Iyar had ambitions. Suddenly came
one of those catastrophe thlngS
that come to every man soon or
late Ivar was in an accident ana
was badly injured He had to leave
high school.
Gradually he recovered his health
and went to work as farm hand.
The disappointment of not get
ting that high school diploma was
keen at first Then it passed into
the background as day succeeded
day, and season followed season
with the round of each years
work on the farm.
But War never forgot that un-
completed high school course.
Something inside him kept re-
peating, There are things you
would want to knoy, Iyar, 1t is
a big world, a wonderful world.
Beyond this farm, beyond this
county, beyond this nation, and
beyond our time, there are things,
wonderful things that would make
all life look different if you knew
them. You want to know SOME
thing about them, Ivar"
So Ivar Stuejord never quite for
got about that lost education,
though the years passed, and the
spring sowing and the summer
cultivation and the fall harvest
and the winter chores succeeded
each other with monotonous regu-
larity.
Somebody told Ivar, then, about
a way in which he could study at
home and learn something about
the world from which he had been
Shut out SO many years before.
And IVar resolved TO go ahead.
He was getting on into late mid
die age. The habit of study had
been pretty well obliterated by the
long years behind pillow and harrow
But the dream of understanding
his world was strong within him,

BE CAREFUL OF ECONOMY
IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

The eyes OF economy minded taXpay-
ers have been fixed on the Imperial
county school system by two recent ac-
tions of the county farm bureau, one
demanding taxpayer representation on
the board of education and the other
calling to the attention of school boards
the fact that school district taxation has
doubled in the last three years.
Any move for economy in any branch
of governmental service will meet with
the wholehearted approval of everyone
farmer and city dweller alike. There is
plenty of room for economy in almost
all branches of government
1t was commendable desire that led
the farm bureau to ask taxpayer repre-
sentation on the board of education and
action Of the supervisors in complying
with the demand met immediate popular
approval. 1t is praiseWorthy, also to
suggest the need for economy to the
various school boards. At the same time,
there is need for warning against car
rying economy in the schools too far.
The schools are incubators for future
America They hold the fate of many
futures in their classrooms. Their SER
vices should not be SO sharply curtailed
as to become useless.
Most people will favor economy in
the schools as elsewhere, but most of
them believe, too that economy in the
schools should not be pushed to the point
where it will interfere with the ability
of the schools to offer satisfactory train
ing to the boys and girls of Imperial
Valley.

WASHINGTON. - Within a few
DAYS. the State Department will
formally invite the worlds cotton
exporting countries to send repre-
sentatiyes to big cotton Sonfer-
ence in Washington some time this
summers
This, in case you had overlooked
it. explains Secretary Wallace's
plan okayed. If that plan had
been knocked out, the invitations
would not have been sent. For the
subsidy plan is Americas one big
ace in the hole.
Americas cotton exports former
" ran around 100000 bales a
year. This year they are down to
35O0,000 bales, lowest figure since
1905. Yet world consumption OF
cotton has been steadily rising
America has taken an even worse
licking than. the figures themselves
indicate.
The conference is being called
in an effort To get the eotton-ex-
porting countries - Egypt, India,
Brazil. the Argentine and British
Ugandi-to agree on certain def
mite percentage allotments. Amer
lea hopes to get an allotment that
will enable her again to hit the
1000 000-bale export mark And
here is where the subsidy plan
comes in.
At the conference, Uncle Sam
will be able TO talk like this: I'VE
want our fair share of the world
cotton trade II We can get it thru
friendly agreement, swell: if we
can't, we're going to subsidize our
exports - and, because we're the
most efficient producers anyway,
and produce The best cotton, AND
because We have the most money,
We can lick the pants off all OF
you at that game"

GOOD NEWS FOR FISHERMEN
tSanta Rosa PreSs-Dem0crat)

Sportsmen the world over will be glad
to hear that a circuit Judge in Milwau-
kee has ruled that frequent fishing trips
are not sufficient grounds for divorce
The jurist said in denying legal separa-
ton to two women who sued for their
freedom on the claim that they were
fishing widows that the sport of fish
ing is wholesome recreation which
husbands .are entitled to enjoy.
a wife who objects to her husband
going fishing is unreasonable and over
eXacting, he continued. 1t would be rash
TO predict how many times these words
may be quoted when husbands begin
checking over their fishing parapherna-
liza during these balmy days. Many wom-
en- married to fishermen have tried going
along, and almost universally they have
found staying at home, though husband
less, to be preferable
The Milwaukee judges remarks were
reported by one of the nations great
news agencies. No doubt he has tasted

[ (Porterville RecOrder)

Political forecasters predict that the
figures of the 1910 census may entitle
California to four or five new congress
men. California is still growing. The
years of the drought and the depression
have uprooted thousands from Oklaho-
MA, Arkansas, Texas and other states,
and these thousands have beaten a we'll

adding to the increase in the states
population brought about by normal
growth.
California now has 20 representatives
