If all hunters were careful, which
few of them are, there would be
title need for the warnings that
are to be found in this issue of the
BLADE. Some farmers have lost
much stock and suffered other loss
es through the carelessness of
hunters in the past, and they have
no wish to undergo any more ex-
periences of that kind, SO if you
are a hunter, it viii be well for
you to get the owners permission
before you hunt on anybody farm.
A hunters license gives no privi-
Ieges that interfere with property
rights.

OF course it is the natural desire
of every mother that her daugh-

current phrase. But much depends
upon how we interpret the word
we'll" Usually it is applied to
a young mans income or financial
possessions. When this is the case,
the standard used is an unfor-
tunate one. There is not a more
cruel standard by which to measure
a young man than the position he
is able to offer the girl of his choice.

Too many mothers consider their
children as simply objects for the
display of their own vanity and
pride. Little Mary must be kept

sufficient to provide the number
ess changes necessary. Instead of
the child in sensible frocks

children are not ashamed to wear
or play dresses, every effort is
strained to reach this false ideal
# dress which the mother has set
