Raising His add ress in part fol-
| lows: Deal with the child as you
would with the colt, not in spirit, but
in the hands of parental and civil au-
thority. Lawlessness is one of the
great evils of the age. Recent in
vestigation shows that a majority of
the murders and crimes come from
UNSOLICITED children, who are not
| brought up on the streets. Some pa
rents are too strict and that causes
the children to cultivate a dislike for
their parents and causes them to shun
| them. And consequently when they
grow a little older they fall into bad
company and are enticed away from
home and see the evils of the world,
and sometimes are led to be instru-
| mental in some crime. Maybe he is
not caught the first time and then he
himself. Sometimes he is stopped by
| law here and sometimes he goes far
ther and each time the crime gets
worse until he gets too bold"

Effort VIII Be Made to Have State
Heating Plant Fired Right.

The great clouds of smoke which
pour from the chimney of the state

lessened, if not entirely stopped dur

and also reduce the smoke nuisance
The plan is being taken up with H.

plant firemen will be sent to Manhat-
tan to fire month or two at the coll

At the meeting Of the Commercial
Club last night an invitation from
the Housekeepers Club to join in Civ =,
ing q reception to the teachers Of the
Public Schools Of the City was fav-
.orably acted upon. The House
keepers Club has the largest member
ship Of any ladies' organization in
the city, and the Commercial Club
has membership Of one hundred,
which, with the guests, insures a
large attendance at this function.
The entertainment committee Of the
Commercial Club was charged with
making the necessary preliminary
arrangements with the Housekeepers
Club for this reception.
There was not a very large at
tendance at the Commercial Club
meeting. The Committee on feed
barn failed to report by reason Of
the absence Of the members. Hon.
=. Q. Thorpe reported that the re-
ported electric line project demanded
free right of-way and forty per cent
of the cost Of building in order to
build at Willmar. This demand was
considered excessive, and unless the
terms are modified there is little
chance for this road.
The minutes Of the proceedings of
the September meeting were read,
Spencer resolutions and all, and ap-
proved without objection.
