“NOT GOOD UNTIL CANCELED”
A recent advertising pamphlet hears a
brand new two-cent stamp with the title,
“Not Good Until Canceled."
tt calls attention to the fact that the
only way to get your money's worth out of
the etiamp is to use ft.
In a sense nothing is of value until it Is
destroyed. Before that time Ms value is
only potential.
Work simply means using up our minds
and bodies, which by food and rest are
recuperated.
Play means the Joyful consumption of our
faculties. -(Seattle Poet-Intelligencer.)
The Seattle paper gives us a short lesson on the
rinchotite theory of conservation.
Of what use is water plunging from mountainside
or glacier to the ocean without a wheel any
where to utilize tlie energy? Of what use are trees
decaying in the forests? Of what use is coal or
copper and silver or other metals that are locked in
the bowels of the earth?
These re cure t, are "Not Good Until Canceled."

THE UNITED STATES AS A MANU
FACTURING NATION.
The United States la the foremost manufacturing
nation today, according to K. M. Miller, Statistician
of the National Bank of Commerce in New York.
Supporting this statement in the May issue of its
publication Coremerco Monthly it is stated that, the
iuternatior.il economic position of the United States
has nut heretofore been paralleled in the history of
the world. This country te the foremost producer of
food products and of most raw materials essential
to human living. The leading place as a producer
of raw materials would not of itself suffice to give
the United States the unique international position
which it now occupies, however. It has won that
place by reason of the fact that it is not only the
foremost producer of raw materials buit has been for
some decades the foremost manufacturing nation.
It continues:
The United States took first place in the
iron and steel Industry about 18yd; now its
annual product is in excess of the combined
output of tlic United Kingdom. Germany,
France and Belgium. It became the fore
most consumer of raw cotton in the closing
years of the nineteenth century, taking the
leadership from the United Kingdom,, which
had theretofore been the largest user.
Until the World War. tlie United King
dom was definitely the leader in the woolen
and worrited industries of the world. During
the war period American raw wool con
sumption and production of fabrics expanded
rapidly, and it is probable that there is not
now any material difference in the capacity
of tho industries of the two countries from
the standpoint of wool consumption. Tho
United States new uses one-third of the
world's cotton, one-fourth of the commercial
supply of wool, about three-fifths of all
copper mined and Iron ore produced, two
thirds of the annual raw silk crop enter
ing into commerce and from two-thirds to
four-1" hs of the raw rubber grown.
Outwardly, the conditions surrounding
the development of industry in the United
State:- do not appear to differ, greatly from
the influences which have conditioned the
development of manufactures in Europe.
Fundamental differences nevertheless exist.
Evidence f them is found in the fact that
in the main Amort can manufacturers produce
ter domestic demand, while European in
dutilr.es are heavily dependent on export
business.
This difference in tho relative import- I
ancc of export trade to the manufacturing
industries ol the United States and of Europe
has existed almost from the beginning of
the development of the factory system in tts
present sense. In Europe modern industry
was superimposed upon countries already
fairly mature. Fields hud long been tilled.

A. ter tite introduction of power spin

• manufacturing nation 'as a result of the com
bination of four factors:
1. The rich natural resources of the
country have not only furnished the mater
ials for manufacture, but their development
has resulted in an average purchasing power
in excess of that of any other country ex
cepting those British Dominions similarly
placed.
2. Dabor has been so fully employed in
the development of natural resources that
it has been necessary to attain to a maxi
mum economy in its use.
3. The combination of these two factors
has stimulated invention and lias made pos
sible and profitable the development of large
ccale production by labor-saving methods.
4. The development of these methods
in turn has increased the purchasing power
of the average man by means of high per
capita production and capital accumulation.

Recognition for Mexico.
(New York Post.)
An overwhelming mass of American sentiment
hopes for the success of the mixed commis ion which
ia to meet in Mexico City, according to Mr. Hughess
announcement, for the purpose of arriving at a
"mutual understanding” between t'he two countries.
Mutual understanding should mean recognition ol
the Mexican Government. President llardlng will
have performed a notable sendee for international
good will and for the record of his Administration
If ho finds the correct formula for a problem whose
solution has long been demanded by the best inter
ests of tile United States and of Mexico.
Delay in regularizing our relations with Mexico
has been due less to any vital differences of opinion
between the two Governments than to a question of
punctilio at Washington and Mexico City. There
has been no disagreement between Obregon and Mr.
Hughes as to the necessity of eliminating tlie “con
fiscation” threat against foreign property in tore :ts
supposed to he inherent in the famous Article 2i
of the Mexican Constitution. The difference has
been over a matter of procedure. Secretary Hughes
has asked that the nnn-confiseatory and non-retroac
tlve interpretation of Article 27 be einibodlcd in
something like a formal convention between the two
Governments. Obregon has felt that national pres
tige and, what is more important, the security ot
his own position in the face of anti-foreign senti
ment at home would not permit such appearance of
dictation from the oustide. He has argued that
there are sufficient guarantees in the interpretation
o' Article 27 accepted by the Supreme Court of
Mexico. It iis for the mixed commission to find a
way to reconcile these opposite views.
It would he a cad renection on statesmanship
both here and in Mexico if in the face of mutual need
and a mutual desire for understanding it failed to
discover a way out of the impasse. American sym
pathy for Mexico during her long years of tria
and revolution has been manifest. Our people or
the border have been patient under what at times
amounted to serious provocation. The Americas
people has read the recent stories of “Bolshevism
in Mexico with a true comprehension of the fact?
and of what it means fora backward country to
work out a social and ,political revolution. It is
Significant that oven Mr. Heurt has discarded his
GraJb Mexico gospel and has for sonic time been
calling for recognition.
As a substitute for a courageous foreign polio
in respect, to Europe, we have been rpeatedly askei:
to consider what the Adirtinirtiatlion has done foi
the promotion of a better state of things in Centra
America and below the equator. But Costa Rics
and Columbia and Chile ennot strike the populai
Imagination in this country with anything like Hu
force that a settlement with Mexico would bring

Luther Burbank.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
I-ike most really groat men Luther Burbank is
exceedlnly modest. He Is much more advertised tliai
advertising and it Is not at all certain that he wil
thoroughly enjoy the Golden Jubilee festival tha
Santa Rota is preparing In this honor. Men such ai
he work for Hie love of working and, though the)
feel the thrill that comes when some great am
daring experiment is crowned with success, It is th<
result itself raither than tJhe publicity giiven to it that
delights them.
Publicity has defects as well as advantages. It
is a temptation to seek for short ruts where there
aro not any to be made. The bubble reputation is f<
eagerly fought that results are annuonced befori
they are actually achieved. Things aro done, not foi
their own sake, but in order to attract attention, and
in most case.s. are not no well done.
But while thd8 is true to a great extent in mod
ern painting, sculpture, poetry, fiction and writini
of all kinds, as well as in business and politics, it i
seldom true in the domain of scrience and rarely
it ever, in natural science.
The real naturalists, as distinct from the natur
j fakers, are among the most modest of all sccintiats
[Quite apart from all controversy as to the deduction:
made from his theories there is almost universal ad
miration of 'the modesty, the caution and the un
swerving sincerity of Charles Darwin, while Jeat
Henri Fabre has endeared himself to all hearts a;
much by his retiring disposition as by the singular
fascination of his Incomparable literary Charm.
But the modern world in general, nml Santa Rosa
in particular, refuse to neglect Luther Burbank at
Fabre was noglected. Santa Rosa wants to honoi
him in his own day anil in his home town, and al
California, as well as all America and the landi
beyond, will mark with approval the festival of tin
Luther Burbank Golden Jubilee.
The decision of Federal Judge Knox will not
materially afreet the prohibition law. Most doctors
