that the law will be rigidly enforced
after April 22d and the council has
announced it's intentions of assisting

force the law, a general movement t.
beautify Paducah in a way that coult
not be done as long as the stock hat

order.
There is nothing that beauties {
city more, or adds to its attractive
ness like pretty yards, handsome
shade trees along the streets. and IL
the yards, and pretty grass plots OF
the improved streets. Heretofore
there was the probability which wa
almost a certainty, that some neigh
bor's COW would come in some night
Just when things were the prettiest
and destroy the work of weeks. But
all this will be changed now II the
city officials do their duty, and they
have given assurance they will.
. The Sun wants to see handsome
yards the rule instead of the excep'
ton in Paducah, and believes every
one else does. but just to stimulate
a little more interest in identifying
yards, The Sun offers prize Of SIC
for the prettiest yard in each OF the
city wards, and will, in addition
give a prize of Sis for the prettiesi
yard in the entire city. To include
the residents within a short distance
the people residing within a hall
nile of the city limits will be eligible
N the contests.
The prizes will be awarded by q
committee to be selected and an
nounced at later date, and the only
conditions of the contest are that the
entries must be subscribers to The
Sun.
The identifying of Paducah is the
only motive that prompts this unique
contest, and The sun hopes there will
he an unlimited number OF entries

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP

IL can tell BY my little

when speaking of the advance
symptoms of colds in children.
"They toss about, are rest
less. their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of

in a day or two they are all

Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. SCOTS Emul-

magical in its action when
used as the ounce of preven-

civilian Wesley in Chicago Jour

nall
II Is a threadbare proceeding to
advise a mother TO know where her
daughter spends her evenings out
side the home and what kind of as
sociates she has.
But this kind of admonition Is
dealt out in scant measure to fathers
in regard to their sons.
This inequality in parental super
vision of the young folks is a serious
mistake.
Since crime by the male youth Is
one of the paramount evils of the
present decade. and an appalling
menace to coming citizenship, 1t fol-
lows that fathers of today should
take upon themselves a more cir
cumspect and serious guardianship
of their growing sons.
1t is natural for every father to
believe that his own son is not in
clined to commit nefarious deeds,
nor is susceptible to evil influences.
But the court annals give. startling
evidences of the calamitous wicked
ness of sons of respectable" and
''affluent" parents. This clear refu-
TAXATION of comfortable theory that
BOYS born and bred of crimes should
stand for the rigorous obligation of
every honorable father to know
what his son is up TO outside the
home.
Moreover, it is the fathers duty
to carry this out without rasping the
young sons self-respect. To make
the lad feel under surveillance would
incite rebellion against fancied un-
just bondage.
To watch the boy consistently. the
father must be his chum. He should
make the lad believe there's a pa
ternal sympathy. a real Jolly and
loving bond, that unites them.
There should be certain con-
geniality between father and son
that inspires the youngster to spend
evenings at home in mutually pleas
ing occupations. In this way the
father wins the confidence of the
boy. A father who has the conf
dence of his young son seldom fails
to read clearly what the boys de-
dres. temptations and purposes are.
In this way a father can strongly In
fuence the boy without being sus-
pected OF a premeditated intention
to "wath out"
But, of course. a youth must spend
some of his evenings outside the
home. He must have amusement
and he must see things beyond the
domestic realm. In the future he
must fare forth to make a name and
place for himself in the world.
It's best for him TO learn a certain
independence In the open before he
must assert an individuality there.
Right here is where a father finds
stressful situation. Admonition
is apt to antagonize the boys ex-
banding independence. A consist
ent and tactful approach to the boy :
comprehension of the conditions OF
life-evil and honorable, and what
leads to both-is through a com
partnership with him. the analyzing
OF deeds and their consequences
This can be done without irritating
touches of warning or reproacn.
The boy will understand that honor
able individuality aids him in. his
selfish getting the best ont oil the
world" as we'll as in his worth TO
others. to the community.
OF course this kind of care oil the
hoy takes a good deal OF the father $
thought and time. Well. II a father
isn't willing to give the time ana
thought necessary to the honorable
development of his son, he isn't nj
to be a father.
Not a bit more than is woman
who neglects the training OIL her
