Andrew Hegreberg thinks that Ger
tain farmers have learned a lesson
about doing their blowing in the fall.
Many. did considerable plowing last
fall, but there ~arermany: others who
have couple hundred acres each to
plow: Do what they will, they, will
not be able to get it all plo~ed.~ in
time to put it%:intos= wheat. and will
have to mix their crop somewhat.
This may. be late spring, but who
knows what the harvest will bring
forth? A. l.. Weber informs US that
during the last two seasons the wheat
which he sowed last, outyielded that
of carly sowing, by several bushel
per acre. Late sowing is not always
advisable, yet we hope that the farm
ers will be recompensed in some man
ner for the late spring.

Parents are Responsible for Unruly
Children.

CnllQfens
: It seems every where apparent that
parents are shifting the responsibility
of the proper training of their boys
and girls to the officers Of the law.
If boy or girl goes wrong the off,
GERS are denounced as worthless.
This is a grave error and it is a
matter of congratulation that the
error is being recognized and the
blame is being placed where it be-
longs. -.
Most people would rightly object
to the arrest and punishment Of
young boys or girls then too. THE
police men can not be put in loco
PARENTS OF everybody's children"
Curfew laws are passed for the
convenience Of fathers and mothers
who ought to have sense and stamina
enough to see to 1t that
their children, are where they belong
when II is nine o'clock at night. ,.2s-
When "A nine year old ,scape-
grace" is arrested his parents plead
ignorance OF his" habits. A glance
ut a boys: fingers and close watch
will convict any yoangster OF the
cigarette habit IL he. Is guilty and a
search will disclose the "Makins.'
It should be the business of every
father and mother to know what
their children are about
These sneaking urchins should
not be left for the charge OF the
policemen. Personal examination
and bodily seach should be instituted
and swift and certain punishment
inflicted upon every conviction.
The boy who spends his time on the
street. who smokes cigarettes or who
sneaks from or practices graft with
his playmates is not so much to
blame as the father and mother who
keen him from these evils by provid-
ing work for him to do.
A child with good parents may
learn to smoke cigarettes and grow
IN a worthless disgrace to humanity
but he isn't apt to if his parents are
sensible in his training. The difficulty
usually lies not in the child but IN
his rearing.
Our best men we're not unruly boys
and thew never tainted their character
sowing wild oats in early manhood.
Most of them worked Their par
ents saw that they cleaned the walks
the ward, and the stable. They milk
ed the COWS and carried the coal-not
because they liked to but that they
might learn to be a producer az we'll
as a consumer.
Making a garden and tending it
properly is far better for a boy than
s'Goin' up town." When boy has
contracted a habit OF regularly going
!" ND town he has taken the arst step
leading to a life Of Incidence and per-
haps of disgrace.
To devise work to keep both boys
and girls at home is primary duty
of every parent. Ordinances may be
enacted calculated to protect the
youth from danger and temptation
and it is right, necessary and proper
that they are but ordinances do not
relieve parents of any of the duties
they are bound to in rearing thel1
children.
