And I do hope as day by day : They gather in their places, ‘ That nothing gleaned from Wisdom’s book May cloud their morning faces. I wonder if children, boys especially, really dread returning to school after a pleasant vacation, or is the belief that they do just a fallacy, adopted and believed in because of its: many repetitions. Certainly if one’ may judge by the excited bustle of preparation, prevailing at this time in and about homes and institutions of learning, the gleeful salutations and _ lilting laughter, the prospect of resuming school work is filling no young soul with dread. Every where the children are flockine back to school with bright eyes, smiling faces and eager anticipations. of further conquests over that illustive giant named Education. ae I wonder what education really is; the word comes from the Latin, educe, meaning to draw out; but you can’t draw anything out of an empty container, so we fill that melting pot, the brain, with every conceivable brand of information, and the result as demonstrated by the individual, marks him as educated, or uneducated—quite definitely. American standards of education are high, the character, ability, and initiative of American educators excellent; bearing these facts in mind, when the young flower of the family has made the grades from A. B. C. to B. A., we expect to find him devoid of ignorance and superstition and possessed of an open minded tolerance, a comprehensive knowledge: of the world, its peoples, history and affairs, and the ability to recoc nize-and appreciate the best in literature, music, art, morals, manners and ideals. American schools and colleges expose the student to this type of culture; if it fails to take—we can only watch anxiously as he enters upon that important phase of learning, which begins where school days end and prayerfully consign him to the tender mercies of those two grim masters, Time and Experience. I wonder why critics deal so harshly with certain modern song titles; now these titles are all right, they are merely misdirected. While inelegant to a degree and wholly unsuited to’! the delicate expression of romantic emotions, they might well, prove useful in other departments of lyric art. For instance; that absurd first line, —You leave me breathless—suggests a serenade to a mountain which one has climbed gaspingly, You Get Under My Skin— is an excellent title for an Ode to THREE MEN ON A HORSE 16 Cb BOB SAUNDERS. A VOICE, COMING Good dance music speaks a language of rhythm to the sensitive ear. The body relaxes in exotic dance motion and romance takes the place of commonplace details of every day life. Therefore ever since human hisoe BOB SAUNDERS tory has been recorded the dance has been known and practiced ‘both in religious and secular life. It is only natural that man should strive for the kind of m'usic ensemble or orchestra-that can with smooth artistry give pleasure to those for whom the music is being player. Bob Saunders and his orchestra has in a large degree reached the point in their dance band career when their style of music appeals to every one. (Maurice Kach has engaged Bob a Wood Tick, and as for, You Go To My Head—there are numerous things that go to our heads beside young love— . you must have noticed that yourself. Uncle Silas says: ‘People everywhere are trying to find out what this old world needs; would humanized intelligence do any good? —A. MERRIAM CONNER. _. . Saunders “the personality with a voice’? to open his winter dancing season at Legion building Saturday evening September 17. because of ‘Bob’s outstanding ability to please his dancing public wherever he has presented his orchestra.

PART TWO Answer: Certainly. Low wages would force down the price of commodities. The automobile now selling for $1000 would sell for $500 or less. The used cars now selling for $250: would probably sell for $75 or less. Tires would sell for about $2.00 and gasoline for seven or eight cents a gallon. And whiskey (another necessity) for about a dollar a gallon. _ Question: products? : i Answer: The following prices (as of 1900) would return. Round steak 12c; pork chops 15; ham 12c; poultry 12c; eggs 12c; butter 20c; milk 5c; flour 2c, And house rent, clothing and other commodities would be less than half the prices of today. : Question: Just how would this increase th power? ; Answer: It would equalize the purchasing power of individuals. There are in America today over eight million families and six million other individuals having small ‘fixed incomes. There are millions of workingmen and women now receiving small wages who would continue to receive nearly as much as they are now receiving. Their purchasing power would be doubled, they could buy two suits where now they buy one, more shoes, more of everything. Others would find their purchasing power increased to a lesser degree because increased production would bring th prices of commodities below the wage level th,at is, the decrease in commodity prices would be greater than the decrease in wages. — Question: How could this reversion to the status of 1900 be complished? ‘ Answer: By the passing of a minimum and maximum wage law setting the minimum wage at $2.00 a day and the maximum wage at $3.50. Question: How about the salaries of municipal, state and, government employees? ‘ Answer: If the maximum and minimum law did not carry to them their salaries would be automatically forced down. Lower rents would bring lower taxes, there would be smaller revenues: Lower margins of profit would effect rents. State and government employees would he dropped until there would be only twice as miany as were needed at salaries only twice what their services are worth after they had heen reduced about 70 per cent. ; i Question: Why do high wages and high prices catise hard times? ' Answer: High wages cause high prices which cause curtailed purchasing by the 75 per cent of the people who receive small wages or small incomes. Curtailed purchasing decreases production which compels manufacturers to lay off help. It effects the railroads, jobbers, wholesalers and retailers, the manufacturers. of fibre and ‘wooden containers, cordage, glass, paper, canning factories. It effects the farmer and every branch -of industry. : How about luxuries—like corn beef, beans and nairy nation’s purchasing acDick Fisher has just returned from a two months visit with his sister in Hercules. central committee. The convention will be held on Thursday, September 15, opening at 1$ a. m. in«-Sacramento using the Senate Chambers, while the Democratic convention and state central committee will convene on the same dates using state assembly chambers. The law also reads that a party nominee can only appoint one of. his sex to the state central committee the other two members must be of the opposite sex.
