We know that he was “scooped” because we have read the facts in that well informed newspaper, Le Temps, of Paris, whose reputation for authoritative infallibility is 80 great that it is known everywhere as “the official organ of the French government.” Here is the piece from Le Temps containing the news which our sad-eyed editor failed to get: Almost immediately before the war a most serious moral crits nearly Swept over the United St as & result of she of the Johnson over the white Jefferson, up fo that the champion.

Treatment That Pays Dividends A teacher in one of the high schools who has just re- turned from the National Educational association in San Francisco is very much impressed by the courtesy of the people of San Francisco and Oakland. He says that uniformly in his trip about the city everyone seemed to feel it his duty to make it as pleasant for the visiting stranger as possible. The Star doesn’t believe that San Franciscans are any more courteous than Seattleites, but we believe that too much kindliness and friendliness can never be shown to visitors and strangers. Nothing impresses the traveler more than courtesy shown by everyone, whether he belongs to the reception committee or not. There is no better way to advertise our city than by a ‘general courteous treatment of all those who visit us.

Making Real Estate How to prevent whole farms from slipping into the Mississippi, Missouri and other turbulent rivers has been _a hard nut for scientists for a century, but they have salved the problem at last and their solution has just withstood the test.of the flood waters of the third spring. It is a system of bank protection and land formation. A group of young trees are woven into a mat which is allowed to drift out into the stream to the point where land is to be built. The mat is anchored by cables to trees ashore, or the cables are carried up side streams and anchored to cement posts driven many feet into the un- It is a well known principle that if waters of a stream carrying silt, or “solids in suspension,” are slowed down at any point, the silt will sink at that point. The mat does the work. Three years ago, a rich farm in Fremont county, Iowa, was slipping into the Mississippi acres at a time. Here the new system was first tested. The erosion was stop- ped and the lost acres have been completely restored. Millions have been spent to save the railroad. freight yards at Gibson, Nebraska. For a few thousands the tree mats have made them safe forever. By the same plan the double-span bridge at Omaha and a railroad right-of-way near Council Bluffs have been put out of yearly danger.

Perhaps, but much more on how you are hitting ’em. If you are on the green in two and down in four, it’s a ten to one bet your caddie says “we.” If you topped, hooked, sliced and over-shot the green, the caddie will make no bid for a part interest in your ball. When your caddie ‘says “we’ you are playing a good game. When your employer says “our” Mr. Smith, you have a steady job. When your office boy boasts of “my” boss, you are sitting pretty.
