GAISFORD, JR.. -EDITOR COURAGE SUPREME The crowds that packeed the Paris streets when Aviator Lindbergh Lind-bergh drove to tbe city's municipal reception, are aaid to have been greater than any seen there since' President Wilson was given his historic ovation. Which goes to show .that the quality to which the world pays highest tribute is courage. It has respect for learning and knowledge, but to make the world take off its hat and yell, you have to display courage in the face of danger., 7 ThTcmnT"c growth of courage.' An age that has to take anesthetics for the least pain, and which often hesitates to let its boys play football, is not one in which heroes are any too thick.

Ordinary-folks will say that the long green could as well be the short green, provided pro-vided it does the same old work. - READING THE ADVERTISING A very enterprising spirit is being shown by the merchants of today in. advertising their 'goods. They are doing their part to in form the public as to how they can keep the eon t of living down. give the public information that enables the home buyers to make a L I .M .!...il It takes experience, skill," and information to buy intelligently. Those who make it. their habit to read the advertising just as care fully as they read any part of a newspaper, are prepared to make purchases that wilt prove satisfactory and worth the money. HOME TOWN THOUGHTS " Just as the modest and shrinking child may not get credit for half he knows, so the merchant who fails to speak up for himself by advertising, is not likely to get for. , If your home town is just a place to sleep and eat in, your bed and board is about all you can expect to get out of it. T.If we want our home town -to improverwe have got to- do some of the pulling up the hill of progress ourselves. There is wondrous charm about a clean toVn-Iean streets and alleys, clean sidewalks, clean yards and parks. - It is one of the things visitor are first to notice, and which make lasting impressions. .situation,! A treat deal ot interest has been -shown of late in the buQding od of a, wool manufacturing and trading center In Southern California.

" . . rrr.-vzrrr. Of course, for many years the East Coast with Boston as the eenter of activities ha been the dominating factor In the wool Industry so far as markets are concerned. This sJUua. tlon, of course, is the outgrowth of the early days of centralisation of population In th East as well . production to a large extent but with the steadily advancing line of wool consuming population to the Pacific Coast as well as the development In the Western range states ot the sheep Industry It appears reasonable that a readjustment will' come about and that the Pacific Coast will come In for lta full 'share in the distribution and manufacturing of wool products. There Is the significant fact that of the Sheep population in the Unit ed States amounting to about forty, two million head over 77 per cent are located West of the Missouri - River and of this number well in excess of half are West of the Rocky Mountains.

In California alone eighteen eigh-teen million pounds are produced each year equalling 7 per cent ot the 254 million pounds produced In the United States, and it la evident that a substantial portion ot the 254 million mill-ion pounds ot producUon is represented represent-ed in the extreme western states. The largest share of this western wool production is shipped East in most cases the movement being be. tore it is scoured and cleaned. This in itself represents a substantial transportation burden as over 60 per cent of the weight ie in dirt and grease which is removed by a scouring or cleaning process. Los Angeles is almlttedly the proper prop-er location for a wool center but despQe the facilities and advantages surrounding the location only about four and one-half million pounds of wtool enter- the- City annually and about one-halt of this moves on to Boston. 1 . From- an economic standpoint it can easily be recognised that the West is moving this western wool to the 'East ' Coast --tor scouring and manufacturing into the finished product, pro-duct, then moving theeoiroducts back to the Pacific Coast to supply the consnmei', . -. Cosst .... jnanufaclurera should be developed to eliminate this waste. Above that point indications are that eventually a textile center! will result through which the finished product will be distributed to world ports and the Atlantle Seaboard. Until this situation is brought about many economies would be effected by the Industry If the movement were swung from the East to' the Tactile Coast for scouring and cleaning and then, transportation of the raw pro duct to eastern markets sa the saving in weight alone would represent an Immense sumv - fOmcers now voazi The Relief 8oclety Stake presidency and board members made their ah- nal rislt to rairfleld Tuesaay. iam Cedar Fort members Joined them there and a most enjoyable time was had.
