National Congress of Mother.

The National Congress of Mothers
has for its object the attainment of the
very best opportunities for the moral,
physical and intellectual development
of every child in the land.
1t is considering the needs of child
hood in home, school and institution; it
is bringing the home and school into in
telligent cooperation and sympathy,
and through mothers clubs and parent
teacher association is providing valua-
BILE courses of reading and study for
parents, stimulating them to think, and
making it possible for them to obtain
information which is of inestimable
value to them in the care and training
of their children.
1t is working Systematically and ef-
fectively to secure legislation in every
state which will protect all phases
of childhood's needs, and provide for
each and all the opportunities and in
huences which are essential for normal
growth and development.
1t has enlisted the cooperation and
aid of specialists, educators, physicians
and lawyers, and has already accumu-
lated valuable educational material,
which is available for thousands who
cannot come into personal touch with
the congress.
The problem of dealing wisely and
efficiently with the dependent and err
ing children of the community has
been a subject of deep thought and
earnest study. The congress deems it
essential that the juvenile court and
probation system should be established
everywhere because, wisely admins
tered, it is the most efficient and sensi-
BILE way of preventing crime.
Child labor is also engaging the
thought of the congress and definite
steps are being taken, in cooperation
with other organizations, to protect
the children from an undue amount OF
work.
The congress aims to build up in each
state an adequate system OF child-care
which will guard and protect the form
ative years of life, and will give to
every child the opportunity to develop

his highest possibilities physically
mentally and morally.
This is an age of specialization and
on what more important object can the
mothers of the nation focus their
thought and work than on the children?
The wisdom of experienced and intel
ligent motherhood applied to all that
pertains to childhood, whether in
home, school, institution, reformatory
or factory, can do more to raise the So
cial and civic conditions of our country
than any other one thing. The chill
dren of the world need the loving pro-
lection and consideration OF enlightened
womanhood, and organized mother
hood stands for the same wise, loving
thought and care for the children of
the world that wise and loving mother
gives to her own little ones.

Herman Dieser Of Vail Badly
Hurt by Train.
ALL NIGHT OUT IN THE COLD
Struck BY Train Tuesday Evening In
jured MAJ Was Not Found IN
=, Morning

Herman Dieser, painter and
paper hanger whose home is at Vail
was struck by Northwestern train
about nine o'clock Tuesday evening
while on the way to visit j ii.
Myers living four miles east of Dem
ison. 1t seems that Dieser had been
in Denison on business. He intended
to return to Vail but missed his train
and concluded to walk up the track
to the Myers home. How the acci-
Cent occurred is not known as it was
not reported by any train crew and
the injured man is unable to tell any
thing about 1T. He was found on
Wednesday morn ng lying beside the
track. by the section men as they
went out to work and lie must have
been lying exposed to the cold night
air for nearly twelve hours. He was
taken to the Myers home as he had
nearly reached his destination and
medical assistance was Immediately
summoned. On yesterday afternoon
he was brought into Denison by the
Northwestern passenger train and he
is now being cared for at the City
Hospital. The extent of his injuries
are not fully known as yet. His left
arm was broken between the elbow
and the wrist, both bones being brok-
en-. His head was also badly wound
ed and he has an injury in the groin
which is feared will prove the most
severe of all. At this writing it is
impossible to state whether he will
survive or not.

CAPTURED A WHITE SWAN
A. w. Miller Captures Fine Specimen
On Boyer River

On Tuesday morning A. w. Mil
Ter made the strangest capture OF
game that has yet been recorded in
this county. His prize is no less
than large white swan. The bird
measures seven feet from tip to tip Of
It's wings and four feet from bull to
tail. 1t is pure white and is as hand
some specimen as one could see.
In the early morning Mr.. Miller was
at work near the river on his farm
in East Boyer township. He noticed
some large white object on the ice
and looking closer he saw that it was
a large bird. He crept closer and
I'M lv made a rush after it. The
blru tried to get awav but before it
had time to take to flight Miller was
able to get his arms about it. The
bird put up good fight. beating at
Miller with its wings, striking with
its beak and making a great effort
to resist capture. Mr.. Miller brought
the handsome bird in to Denison and
it was admired by all who saw it.
Mr.. Miller is not quite sure what to
do with the bird and is little fear
full that his white swan will turn out
to be white elephant. At present
the bird is on exhibition at Bartcher
Bros. and is being greatly admired as
the only white swan ever captured
in Crawford county.

fallacies. there was nothing personal

READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
Denison has never been more in
viting as Holiday shopping center
than it is this year. In years gone
by there were but few distinctly
holiday stocks in the city. This year
there are dozen merchants in active
competition for your trade. This
means lower prices and better chance
of selection than ever before. We
do not believe there is another city of
Denison's size that offers more or
better bargains in all lines suitable
for Christmas gifts. The wise
ones will come to town early and
get the cream of the good things
offered. We know by experience. for
we always put our Christmas shopp-
ing off until the last moment and
then kick ourselves because all the
pretty things we had thought to buy
are sold. Christmas gifts. sent
early are surer to reach their desti-
nation on time and unchanged. and
then too. if you send your gifts early
you are pretty sure to get something
in return. OF course you never think
of that. but some other people do.
Certain it is that visit to the stores
of Denison will show you something
that ought to please every member of
the family and with such a prosperous
year behind us, our advice is to buy
early and often.
