Despite the long continued drouth-
now vegetation, in this vicinity
at least. does not seem to have suffered,
and is more forward than in the average
season. We have heard one explanation
of this condition that seems plausible,
and that is. that there was an unusual
amount of frost in the ground, which has
kept up the moisture needed to promote
growth.

DON'T SAY BOO" TO BABY;
IT MAKES A COWARD OF HIM
Dr.. Lena Kellogg SadIer Tells Wo-
mans Club It's Dangerous to Make
Child Afraid Of the Dark.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Do you say
"Boo-dark' to your baby? Well, you
mustn't, for DR.. Lena kellogg Sadler,
who has made an exhaustive study OF
child life. told the woman's club OF
La Grange that many q murderer.
burglar, and highway robber had been
made In this manner.
DR.. ISadler declared that the mother
who instilled into the mind of her
child the fear thought" through
threats Of the bogy man, the dark,
and all the other time honored mon
sters Of childhood, might some day
find herself a murderer.
"The child over whom the thought
OF fear is held continually becomes a
coward. When he reaches the age
where his timidity becomes notice
able. he is told he Is coward. BY
the time he is a man he Is coward.
Statistics have proven that many a
man has turned murderer, robber, or
thief simply to prove to a world that
he is not coward"
DIR. Sadler outlined the power OF
suggestion in the training or the child.
As the wife learns that the most
propitious time to secure favors from
her husband Is when he Is joyous, DR..
Sadler declared, so ALSO the mother
learns that the power OF suggestion
to the child Is strongest when Ii Is
happy from play or when at bedtime
II Is tucked into its bed and ready for
sleep.

To Probe oredee Workers Protest.

The protest sent by the marine
branches OF the International Long
shoremeh's association to President
Taft, has brought reply from the
president to the effect that the COM
plant Of the unions will be referred
to the war department for thorough
Investigation. The marine workers
complained that the dredge owners
and contractors were unable 70 grant
an eight-hour day because government
engineers made their estimates too
low and contractors we're unable to
make enough TO shorten the working
day. The protest states that the esti-
mates on the work at Toledo are SO
low that contractors cannot make
operating expenses. The owners have
made no answer yet on the request
for an advance In wages OF $40 per
month asked by the unions.

In addition TO its Jersey milk, the
Certified milk and the perfectly pas
teurized milk, the Towar creamery
