largely preconscious even. which Is the
most important OF all. and IL educates an
us members. as can be done in no other
way on the Intimate personal side. No
education in the world compares with that
received by the parents IN bringing up a
child. The selfish become unseIdsh. the

here In an intensely individualistic soci-
ety. limited communism IS practiced.
which keeps alive the ideal OF fraternal
dealings. Here the parent realizes that
he has stake in the country exceeding

interests.

not mainly 10 organize societies 70 study
or improve II, but for each individual 10
bring his own family life TO the highest
possible plane. TO create a home atmos-
phere where family affection does not
mean indifference toward those outside
the family group. where intimacy Is con-
sistent with respect for individual privacy
where diverse interests add 20 the rich

OF the nome life, where familiarity does

already delicate constitution that con-
sumption and other troubles added
their burden to the poor pain-ra cked
frame that he was forced TO bear
through the world But as a compen-
sation for his physical i'll nature gave
him an intellect OF a very high order,
which IL was his pleasure TO cultivate
in scientific and literary pursuits. He
became quite proficient in the various
sciences, and when short time ago he
gave his attention TO play-writing he
achieved almost instantaneous success

Reece telephoned the sheriff, who said the trouble was confined to the mine of the Pana Coal Co., and that he would be able to con- trol the situation. The trouble seems to have been started by a drunken colored miner, who ran wildly through the streets, shooting in all directions. This precipitated the riot.
