of Methods Pursued by
Officials.
(From a staff correspondens.)

LANSING, Mich, April AT a
meeting of the committee on fish and
fisheries yesterday afternoon Senator
Ming, OF Cheboygan, gave notice OF
an intended searching investigation OF
the methods pursued by the state fish
commission and the Michigan depart
ment OF the United States bureau o.
fisheries.
At this hearing F. NJ. Clark, Of
Worthwhile, superintendent OF this
branch OF the fisheries bureau was
present 10 talk on the bill introduced
by Ming sometime ago. He was sharp
ly quizzed by Senator Ming about the
methods of fishing in the Detroit riv-
Ell by government officials during the
spawning season last year. Mr.. Clark
admitted that the contract held by the
cyclone Fish Co. TO catch fish for the
government during the spawning sea
son was made over To his son, Clar'
ence Clark, lawyer. and Dwight
Lydell. superintendent OF the state
hatchery at Mill creek. His report
to the government bureau said that
Lydell was employed as government
superintendent OF the work which
would make him a government officer.
Claiken endeavored to explain the
matter by saying that this contract
was let after Beautel 81 Co, or De
troit, lad refused to take the job
In previous years this work was
done BY the Wolverine Fish Co. and
the Booth Co.
The point Senator Ming makes rs
that the companies have been catch
ing more fish than needed TO supply
the hatoheries with spawn. He III
tends 10 probe the matter
Mings bill proposes TO take out or
the governments hands control OF
the fishing during the spawning sea
son and place the entire matter under
the state game and fish department.

lowing bills:

KING PETER WAIVERS ON

- BELGRADE. April 1.-The next few
days will decide whether King Peter
will continue on the Servian throne.
II the present. angry temper Of the
people continues, the king, it is de-
ciared will abdicate. regardless OF

low their discontent over the complete

The belief Is general that Peter will
abdicate. 1t Is said that he has al
ready asked the good graces OF the
Russian and English ministers in an
attempt to have the government grant
him an annuity OF $4,000. One thing
that holds the king in check Is his
fear that his withdrawal would endan-
ger the continuance of the house OF
Karageorgevitch. His younger son.
the newly named Crown Prince
George, would succeed him In the nat.
ural course OF events, but owing To
the present disturbed conditions there
is grave doubt whether the people
would long submit to the sons rule.

AN ARTISTIC HOME FOR $4,000

Harmony Of colors
The rooms on the ground floor, which
open out of one another, should have
the trim stained all in one color; like
wise the walls should be tinted in one
color This uniformity in scheme is
never monotonous and gives refined
and livable effect.
In the house illustrated, the two front
bedrooms may be converted into one
bedroom by emitting the partition indi-
Gated by the dotted lines. Bedrooms
should always have light and air on two
sides of the room where possible. Cross
ventilation of this sort will make the
rooms very much cooler in the summer
time.
Easement Windows
Easement windows may be used freely
throughout the house except in the
kitchen. 1t is not advisable to use them
in the kitchen, as there is some difficulty
where the flies gather in large numbers
on the screens. Easement windows
should invariably be built. in groups, SO
that they may be more easily washed.
They should, of course, always be hinged
at the side to open out

in not letting boy think he is being kept
at home because he is not capable Of
resisting outside temptation. With
wholesome evening occupations for his
thoughts and hands the moments glide
away and bedtime comes.
Mother and Son
A manly boy thinks it privilege
and comfort to go to his mother with
anything that has worried him. As he
conhdes in her sympathy and counsel he
has sure sense of relief. A manly boy
has chivalrous sense of protection for
his mother. His loyalty and love would
not grieve or disappoint her. He would
shield her from trouble, or share with
her in her sorrows.
In her boy a mother hopes to E:ld com.

reer, pride in his success. She teaches him

THE BOY AND HIS MOTHER

"The light of love in my mothers
face made home bright and happy said
a man, looking back tenderly to his
boyhood's days. Her cheerful, con-
tented spirit, her calm way of meeting
disappointments, her charitable way
of Judging others, her kind way of
giving encouragement helped me to
see how to take life. She seemed to
have well-spring of joy in her heart.
know now that it came from her faith
in God and her love of all that is good.
| Her ideas of duty were very clear, direct
and simple.
eff l had task or duty to do and
tried to avoid it, or put it off, or ex-
cuse myself, she would say, very gently
Go and do it. and her kind look, her
few but firm words inspired me at once
to do as she said Then | had the
10y afterwards of having her praise and
appreciation. When I look back now
see that it was her way to go on
quietly, faithfully, uncomplainingly with
every duty without expecting praise"
Watch the Boys Mood
] When the mood is in his heart is the
moment to talk to a boy on serious sub
jects The words spoken at bedtime are
usually worth more than anything that
has been said during the day. Blessings
will follow mothers prayers made with
her boy. In her boys Bible beloved
mother wrote, Let this be your guide;
look into it every day, if you have only
time for one verse. Do not read it as
task, but for the help it will give you
in your daily life, and listen to its teach
ings as the voice from Heaven"
As the Growth Comes
The years from eight to twelve are a
unique period. The brain acquires near
| ly its adult size, health is at its best, &C.
tivity is great A boy begins to develop
interests outside of his home and can
absorb large amount of information
helpful or hurtful Gradually he should
be given freedom as he learns how to use
it. Restraints which have been necessary
| during the years of responsibility
should be removed when he is learning
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1909-07-20

thusiasm for noble lives; books of adven.
ture, travel and exploration will teach
endurance and perseverance. If good
literature is loved in the home, If there
is supply of interesting books and good
collections of verse, boy will acquire
wholesome taste in reading.
If he has natural taste for books he
has joy of his own. If he has not the
taste, at least he can be kept away from
undesirable reading. He can be given
the chance to be interested in good
things and to form his ideals by them.
The Guiding, Not tho Driving, Hand
When boy is very young he should
not be allowed to go out in the evening,
When he grows older it is not wise to
use coercion A mothers heart can only
follow her. boy in hope and prayer when
she sees his life detaching itself little
from home. Nothing is gained by lee
lures or queries, nothing by nagging OF
scolding. The surest dependence is ia
make home attractive.
If possible, there should be a room
where he can have his boy friends and ba
amused with photography, candy-pulling
popping corn; or the living-room of tho
home must not be considered too good
for this A mother must not be too much
interested in her sewing in the evening, OF

may be pleasant and profitable part Of
the day. A mothers tact will provide

The Ground Plan
The floor arrangement of dwelling
house is not determined merely by the
iancies and notions of either the owner
Or the architect In approaching the
problem it is always necessary to be-
come thoroughly familiar with the char
,cteristics of the building site; its loca-
ion as to the points of the compass, its
contour and grade, the placing of the
:rees and its relation to adjoining prop
,rty.
The living-room must, of course, be as
sides, if it can be obtained.
The Entrance
The entrance need not be on the front
of the building, contrary to ideas which
sometimes prevail With side entrance
and especially the side porch a much bet
ter view is obtained from the front
windows in the living-room than if the
entrance and veranda were on the front
of the building.
In arranging your floor plan be care
full to so place the. diningroom that it
may open up good vista from the liv-
ing-room. The plan should not be a
segregation of Individual rooms, but
rather an arrangement suggesting one
large room, treated sectionally for the
different apartments. Omit all the
doors possible between living rooms.
This is more economical and secures
more livable results. Do not under any
circumstances have kitchen larger
:fan it need be- After you have decided
on the size of your kitchen, you may
safely reduce it ten per cent. more.
