NESS

No man ought to attempt to make
right everything that his life / touches.
He could not do it if he should try;and
his trying only blocks his usefulness
i'll directions where it ought to count
for more. It is not business mans
duty, for example, to pick up every
scrap of dust or rubbish he may see on
the floors of his house, or on the pave
ment between his house and office, be-
fore starting on the days work. In
writing of the great purposefulness of
the man Jesus, Professor Stalker has
said: "This impaired an earnestness
and rapidity of execution to His life
which most lives altogether lack. 1t
saved Him, too, from that dispersion
of energy on details. and carefulness
about little things, on which those
who obey no definite call throw them
selves away" We must let many
things 90 undone if We would accom-
plish that which is committed to us.

FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY

When Uncle Sam met Lady Snow
From up around Ontario.
He gave slight fiirtatious cough
And vowed he'd elbow the lady off,
And asked, "What shall it be?n
And Lady Snow,
With heart aglow,
And smiles all full of gIee,
Guessed she would SUD

Of Reco-proci-tea
JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.
The farmers of the Middle West,
through the medium of their ballots,
in last years elections, registered an
EN- phatic protest against the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill. mo other way
can we interpret the complete rout of
those standpat Republicans candidates
who hail from the Mississippi Valley.
Now, number of organizations claim
ing to represent these same farmers,
are going for Canadian reciprocity
tooth and nail, and yet this proposed
Canadian treaty is the first tangible
step yet taken in the direction of real
tariff reform.
In this connection the Saturday
Evening Post has the following to say.
This relation, they say, would force
our farmer to meet the competition of
Canadian products duty free, though
nearly everything he buys would still
be charged with the high tariff tax,
thereby giving an unfair advantage to
the Canadian competitor, who can
purchase supplies that are not charged
with high tariff tax. The only ad-
vantage under the agreement would 20
to the protected manufacturer, who
would get an enlarged market for his
products. AS they see it. the farmer
would be still further sacrificed to the
protected manufactures.
"If this were the whole case perhaps
there would not be much to say for the
reciprocity agreement. But it is only
the beginning of the case. This agree
ment definitely breaks the vicious cir
Gle by which the high protective sys-
tenn has SO long been maintained
vastly to the harm of the farmer. If
farmers of the Middle west can be
persuaded that their prosperity de-
ponds upon protection against Cana
dian grain, there will be little trouble
in persuading them that they must
vote continued protection to steel,
wool, and SO on, because the only way
they can get protection is by joining
hands with other people who want
protection-and the only way the other
people can get protection is by joining
hands with the farmers This hand

HOME CURFEIII TO
KEEP CHILDREN
OFF THESTREETS
Don't Let Boys and Girls
Play About After Dark
Has Fallen.

WHEN darkness falls over the city
w and the faring street lamps
stipple the thoroughfares with light,
and the electric signs flash their
greeting from buildings on every side,
where are the children?
Tucked snugly in bed waiting for the
ship O. dreams to carry them to the
land of Nod, or playing about the
streets, peering into the stores where
men congregate and listening with all
youngsters eagerness to learn the
swear words, the passing gossip and
the idle conversations that arise after
the days work is done.
In Homestead, Pa, in Braddock,
Millvale, Swissvale, East Pittsburg
and many other places in various
states, the curfew law has just been
put into effect, and no children except
those with their parents are allowed
On the streets after o'clock at night.
To some such rule may seem alb
Eurd, and yet how many boys and girls
would be saved many bitter years if
homo curfew was established? How
many runaways might be prevented,
how many Of the youngsters who with
quivering lips and frightened eyes
face the magistrate in the juvenile
court could have been saved if the
house curfew set 9 o'clock as the limit
for their play hours?
School and play fill in the day time
with healthful work and exercise, but
when the evening comes these duties
are over, and once the lessons are
studied the acreage child is allowed
to run out iTo the streets without
question; just so he remains near
enough to be called. And this plung-
Ing into the darkness OF the streets,
trips to moving picture shows and
general sense of freedom lead to many
accidents, to kidnapings and to, worst
Of all, the soaring of the minds of
girls and boys both with evil knowl-
edge.
Let the home ourfew ring for your
boys till they are old enough to take
care Of themselves, and let it always
ring for the girls unless you know
Just exactly what errymaking they
are attending and who their COM
panions are.
This is an age of liberty for girls
and boys. Latch keys are as prom
lscuously given out as pocket money,
and the laconic I'm going out" is con-
sidereG, by the majority of parents,
sufficient explanation of where the
Children are.
Statistics show, however, that it is
Just such lax methods that lead to
tragedies. The girls who disappear,
the boys who grow into 'incorrigi-
bles," and all the bitterness of mother
hearts who see their children turning
into evil paths instead of attaining
high ideals, may be laid at the door
of that lack Of a home curfew.
Crime and shame and many terrible
things come to the fore when the dark
falls, and every picture of this side Of
life that young eyes see is engraved
deeply upon youthful consciousness,
even though they do not understand
the full significance of it all.
Clubwomen all over the country are
making an earnest effort to have chill
dren legally kept off the streets at
night, but 1 think it should be mother
law and home law, not state law, that
should see girls an boys safely with

Design for Table Linen

Among the new patterns used in
decorating table linen one of the pref
test is the orchid design. This is
used as border, while over the sur
face of the cloth single orchids are
scattered at regular intervals. The
same design is used to decorate the
napkins, although in these the fow-
ers are smaller.

Collar of Jacket

Many tailor jackets have a little
finish of white inside the collar for
the double purpose of breaking the
hard line of the cloth. and to act as
a protection for the fine lace of the
bodice.
Instead Of stiff bands of pique and
duck that have been used formerly
to line the coat collar, the earliest
spring jackets show a narrow edge of

on, when the change from the fur
