SETTLERS IN THE NORTHWEST
More than One Hundred Thousand
Came Out During the Spring.

Came Out During the Spring.
Within a very few days definite
figures of the actual number of set
.lers who have taken up their homes
in the far northwest this spring may
be expected from the roads over
which these homeseekers travelled.
Estimates of the total number of
homeseekers vary from 10000 to 1922
900. Experts figure that not fewer
than $4,000 passed through the st.
Paul gateway. The total number is
$4,000 more than the total for last
year.
Contrary to the assertions of west
ern interests not all of the settlement
has been in the Pacific coast states.
North Dakota is credited with more
new settlers than all the states from
it's western boundary to the Pacific,
and Minnesota with fully half as
many people as have gone into Wash
| ington. The most careful estimates
obtalnable show the following fig

PARENTS AND

DEAR AUNT JENNIE What IL to
become of the boys of this day and
time? They will not work on the
farm. They say that they cannot
make any money at it. So they
pack up their clothes and off they go
to town or some cotton mill. And in
q few weeks, or few months at best,
they are off to some other place.
In a little while they are back at
home for their parents TO support
while they run around and do moth
ing.
Some of the girls are not much
better. They sit and wait for
mother to do the house work and
think that they have been ever so
smart. The mothers seem to think
that the girls ought not TO work.
The time has come when the chill
dren say what the parents shall do
and the parents do it. l can hardly
help saying, Lord, have mercy upon
suoh mothers end fathers"
The mother will say to the chill
dren, care you not going to school
TO dayP" The pert reply is, 1--WE
are not going" That is all there is
about it. When I was going TO school
mother filed my basket and said that
1t was time that ! was going; and
that was all that she had to say. +
knew better than to say, II am not
going"
I have been thinking about she
cause of all this, and what can be
done TO remedy this wrong. Well,
I have come to the conclusion that
that there is not more than one fam
lily in six in this community that
holds family prayer. The children
have never heard their parents thank
q kind Heavenly Father for food,
health and raiment or for q Savior
who died for them. So there is a
lack of good influence all the time to
lead lead them in the right way.
l can't see how a man with a family
and claiming to be a Christian can
have all these blessings bestowed on
him and his, and at the close of day
not got upon his knees and thank
Him who gave them. May the time
soon come when all heads of families
