LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-For

and reports were received here
that prices for those commodities

Damage thus far to the citrus

vegetable growths were wiped
out completely.
Temperatures in mountain
areas dropped to 10 degrees or

thermometer was in the low eos,

damage to fruit.

it also has the dubious distinction
OF having thesleast pfottesion per

"Pass 1T On
BY DR.. JOHN W. HOLLAND

THERE IS AN OLD SONG that
keeps ringing in my ears:
"Have you had a kindness shown?"
Pass it on.
Twas not meant for you alone,
Pass it on"
The late John T. McCutcheon,
noted writer and cartoonist for the
past half century, left this brace of
wonderful words:
mo one attains success or happi-
ness by his own efforts. On the
contrary, hundreds of people are
constantly pulling and pushing us
toward our goal. Some one helps
me today and I pay my debt by
helping some one else tomorrow.
Life is very wonderful indeed"
The millions of people, who for
many years, have seen his greatest
cartoon, "Injun Summer will ap-

read and ponder. There are really
no "self-made" men Behind every
outstanding career, that stands in

They Helped Everyone"
A verse in the Old Testament,
Isaiah 41:7 reads: $50 the carpenter
encourageth the goldsmith and he
that smootheth with the hammer
him that smote the anvil"
Verse six reads: "They helped
everyone his neighbor and every
one said to his brother, BE of good
courage"
The thoughts that live and inspire
us today, are the ideas that other
men conceived. We are indebted to
them. The music we enjoy today,

Debt TO Creator

0So1 ~ 03Co1O
Children cannot live long enough
to adequately repay their parents
for one-half of the tenderness, care
and love bestowed upon them. Par
ents do not expect it. They expect
a better and greater thing of their
children, that they so live that what
they received may be passed onl
When l think of the teachers and
pastors who have touched my life,
I feel that their lives will have
failed, if l fail to transmit a part of
what they taught me to someone
else.
The poor, old miser, with his
pockets that work only one way,
namely, in; the rotter, burning up
his inherited energies in high priced
and fancy nothings; the goddess
gourmond, the inane thinker, the
person who spends his days skating
where the moral ice is thin-they all
help to rob life of its beauty, simply
because every blessing from AL
mighty God and society ends in
themselves!
Has your life been blessed be-
cause Jesus Christ came into the
world? Then, receive Him fully into
your heart and pass it on!

Fucts dnd Fdncies
BY-Huzel Hayden

The soaking rains we have
been having for the past few
days will probably put an end
to the fire hazard for the seas
on. I hope so, for this seems
to have been an unusually bad
summer for forest fires.
Do you know that each year,
the trees destroyed by forest
fires would produce enough
lumber to build eighty-Six
thousand fiVe-room houses?
Still, we keep on being careless
with matches, cigarettes and
camp fires, when it is next to
impossible to rent a house. Not
that I think the housing Shor-
tage is due to forest fires, but
that comparison will give you
a good idea of the great
waste that is incurred each
summer by carelessness.
Only about ten per cent of
our forest fires are caused by
lightning, so it is pretty plain
that most of the blame should
be placed on the good citizens
of this country. I was in the
Big Horn mountains this sum-
mer and saw the waste left by
a forest fire that had passed
through there a decade ago. It
was a ghost forest of thousands
of dead Red Spruce trees,
white and rigid, now like skel-
etons testifying to the eternal
negligence and needless nature
of mankind. Beauty was des-
troyed there, as well as album
dant building material.

camping shortcuts that were

drop Of fourteen feet from the

and getting generally bruised
and scratched. Now that the
pain and fright are over, I'm
sure he secretly regrets that
he didn't break his right arm
tOo-that would have extended
summer vacation about two
weeks more. AS it is now, he
will carry the left arm to
school in a cast and a sling,
which won't interfere with his
school work at all.
The weather seems to have
