LEONARD BRQKAX

I had food last week our child would
be alive now.
Il am unable to leave my wife
alone with the children to seek en-
ployment. She is deaf and cannot
care for the children. We have
lived for the past three years on all
income of $500 year and have
paid out of that income 800 fn
terest on mortgages. Other ex-
penses have cut our fund for fooG
supplies down to $125 a year.
I'VE have tried to raise our chill
dren pure. We do not believe in
the theories we know are taught in
the public schools. We teach them
ourselves. My wife and / do NOS
believe that childhood has sex.
Until the age of 18 or 20 children
should be unconscious of such mat
ters. Little Leonard did not com
plain once until he became delirl-
Gus. Sick as our other two chit
dren, are, they make no fuss. To
| day they greet their mother with a
smile, knowing that. her heart Is
breaking because of Leonard's
death"

does not believe in dresses. She
wears boomers, and her hair Is
cut short. The little girls are dress
ed in boys clothes and their hair
is cropped short. Sex is never re-
ferred to. The neuter pronoun lit

MAKES FORMAL DENIAL
Monmouth Commercial Club C0nfutes
Rumor OF Unfriendliness To
o. A. C.

The people of Monmouth and friends
Of the Normal school, according to
resolution recently adopted by the
Commercial Club of that city. are
opposed to the plan of invoking the
referendum against the Oregon Agrl-
cultural College, believing such action
to be unjust and absurd. The text OF
the resolution is as follows:
"Whereas, Through lack OF proper
information all the normal schools OF
this state are charged through the
press, either directly or by implication,
with starting or aiding the referendum
petition against the Oregon Agricul-
tural College appropriation, and mas
much as the citizens OF Monmouth
and Polk county have always appre-
ciated and literally supported the
work Of the agricultural college, and
have no knowledge of the starting OF
this referendum, and have not given
1t council or aid in any way. and
further, as one man, have from the
first denounced the proposition for a
referendum on the Corvallis school as
unjust and absurd;
"Be it resolved by the Monmouth
Commercial club, that public refuta'
ton be made of this charge against
the Monmouth school, and we dis
claim the validity of any such state
ments as against the Monmouth Nor
NAL, and deprecate this action agains
any of our state educational instltu
tions."

rebound TO the benefit of the entire Sec

equable adjustment of freight and also
passenger rates. Under present condi-
