SMILE BUT GO EASY fReed Heustis, in Los Angeles Herald These poets make me peevish who are harping all the while On what it means to give the world the sunshine of your smile. It gets me kind of wrathy when I read that every day You ought to go 'round smiling. How do poets get that way? Oh, yes, I know a smile iiktime is worth a lot of things, But then again a smile may stake you to a set of wings. I know a man just married to a blushing little dame And she encountered some one who was on the smiling game. He smiled at her and when she failed to make a quick reply He pulled a grinning encore and, ker-biff ! from out the sky That husband fell upon the man and beat him to and fro, He beat him every place that there was any room to go. Which only goes to prove that smiles are all Okeh, but that Before you smile, make sure, oh boy, of whom you're smiling at. oo THE CALIFORNIA WAY :::tt. :::::: a- The Californian has a funny -way of doing business. When his crops are short Nevada is free from weevil and eel worm. First the spuds were infected when California had an abundant erop and the Nevada product was banned from the coast trade. Then a short year came and it was found that the Silver State tuber was perfectly free from disease, and the spud growers asked and received their price. A short year in hay crop and Nevada alfalfa was welcome on the other side, and train loads were shipped and paid for and there was no evidence of weevil. This season there is a bumper erop of hay in California and the hay farmers will have to keep the Nevada product from the market in order to maintain a high price. "When this was discovered it was also found that Nevada hay was infected with weevil. , The proposition to place an embargo on all Nevada hay is in line with past records from the selling associations of California. If it isn't hay its spuds, and if Nevada had any other product that com peted with the Californian a scale bug or a borer would be found to exclude the competition. It is the organized way of California.

Carson Electric Shop Opposite Arlington Hotel The senate finance committee iu reviewing the recommendations of Secretary Mellon, declaring for an excess tax on automobiles, on bank checks and a higher rate of postage, emphatically tells Mr. Mellon he must look to other sources. There is method in the recom- medation. The autoist is taxed by Rockefeller first, then by his state, coun ty and city, and in some instances a double tax on his gasoline. Therefore, with several million auto drivers protesting, this propsed tax did not look encouraging. As to the tax on bank checks, that also was everybody's busi ness, and as more people write checks than own autos a multiple protest could be expected. As for '.I cent postage; the people again would complain. Only during the war-time with its necessities can such a tax on the whole people be expected or accepted. A year ahead another election is in sight. Thai means control of senate and house of representatives. With an outstanding tax that is decried from every housetop figuring against ihe party there would be small chance to win. If any party or individual really wishes to get the temper of the public let it add costs m dollars and cents. With this in view, and the questions of the effect of the high wall tariff confronting the Republican majority, it is little wonder that Mr. Mellon was told to sit down and trim his expectations. From a Democratic point of view the taxes can't go too high, as it is a self-evident argument of Republican mismanagement, but the old boys at the helm are even wiser than they look and before congress hoists prices further on the people they will have to be shown that it does not deflect votes that will be needed a year hence. oo MEN AND BUSINESS Richard Spillane, in Philadelphia Public Ledger The foremost railroad executive in America had a visitor a woman. "I'm worried," said the lady, "and I have come to you for advice. Some mortgages I hold are about to be paid off and I do not know how to reinvest the money. Naturally I want as large an in terest return as possible. You know, I have about enough income to maintain myself and the children under normal conditions and not much beyond that. Everything has advanced so much in cost in the last few years that I need more now than formerly. Besides, the children are growing up and the items of clothes and education are increasing for them. You have so much knowledge of what is a fine investment, you know so many securities that bring large returns that I want your advice. What shall I do? "Buy Liberty bonds," replied the great railroad chief. "But " exclaimed the lady. "There is no but about it," the railroad executive said, "you have come to me for advice. You would pay a poor compliment to me if, after asking my advice and getting it, you did not follow it Your husband was one of my dearest friends. I am telling you what you should do. I know you expected me to suggest investment in some of our securities. They are good, very good. But I tell you to buy Liberty bonds. "Don't argue with me about 44 per cent interest. Don't tell me they sell below par. The more they go below par the greater the advantage to investors such as yourself. They are the safest invest ment in the world. Some of them yield at present prices in excess of fV- per cent and, when you consider that they are tax-exempt, the re turn is considerably more than that of 5VL per cent bonds of rail roads or industrials." "But bxz per cent seems so little compared with 7 per cent and even more from other bonds I hear about which I am told are as safe as anything on earth," the lady protested. "Leave those bonds to other persons," the railroad executive said. "Do as I tell you. Put your money in Liberty bonds. Buy those of long term, preferably. Don't bother after you buy them about the price at which they may be quoted in the market. You will get the same amount in semi-annual interest regardless of the market quotation. "Now run along and leave me to my work. Nobody in America can give better advice to you than you have received. "And now I will add something more, just to make you feel a little better and to appeal to the speculation instinct which, I be lieve, every daughter of Eve has to some degree. I believe if you and I live ten years we will see every Liberty bond that you buy now sell well above par. "No matter what happens in the future, whether we have unex- Two Kinds of Women We know a woman, who when she needs to purchase necessary things for the home or the family puts on her shopping costume, dabs a bit of powder on her nose and sallies forth. street She shops one here and up there chases and and down another hunting and h-u-n-t-i-n-g. When she gets a home she is j z y and j-a-d-e-d. She feels all mussed up mentally z and physically. ' We know another who has learned the art of reading the adver tisements before she starts out. She finds out what she wants and where to get it. Then she goes straight down town and right to the store that has IT. In this way she saves time, money and effort and comes home fresh as a daisy and ready to get friend husband a good dinner in stead of taking him to the cafeteria. Which One Are You?

THREE MILLION of these are in use, in creasing the sum of human happi ness. There is one waiting for you. smpled good times or waves of good times and stringency, the virtue of Liberty bonds remains the same. When you own Liberty bonds all Ihe 106,000,000 persons in America are pledged to the payment of those bonds, principal and interest. Everything in America stands as security back of those obligations. "Some years hence we will marvel at the bargains presented to us today in Liberty bonds. Hut for the .fact that the times are un precedented, those bonds would sell way above par. Iy personal opinion is that the7 never are likely to be much below the present quotations. In tact, I think they are definitely but slowly climbing toward par. The more the world progresses toward rehabilitation the higher they will climb. Don't ever worry about them. Tiny them. Have them registered. Get your interest regularly. Uncle Sam never fails. Forget or try to forget about them so far as market quotations are concerned, and by the time the children are getting married they'll be above par. Then you may think about selling them, but not till then." Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today it may bo prohibited then. Boston Transcript.
