like a dull finish use only your hand
for rubbing the wood.
To whiten finger nails and improve

Most boys have fathers, which is
fortunate for the boys themselves and
for society. But most fathers per-
haps-at any rate, too many of them
fail to recognize fully their obliga-
lions in the matter of guiding the
thoughts and actions of their sons.
They leave too much of that duty to
the boys mothers. Mothers, too. are
important, of course, giving the boy
a kind of care which they would 9th
erwise lose. But the father, if he be
the right sort, can exert an influence
which may come from no other source.
Is it not worth while? Every boy who
goes wrong represents a definite loss
to society. To that extent civilization
fails. It means hitch in the plan of
the universe which calls for a steady
upward climb toward perfection

Utica, N. Y.-Fearing violence on
the part of foreigners and others who
are out of the textile mills in the
New York mills on strike for in
creased pay and other concessions,
Sheriff Becker called for the national
guard to protect life and property, and
three companies of militia are doing

The sheriff notified the local militia
officers that the situation was beyond
his control, and the Twenty-eighth

and the Thirty-frst Mohawk separate
company were at once ordered to pro-
coed to the village.
Their arrival in the place was a

Why PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number of Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in the rates
that it does, would not be so surprised
were they to accompany one of the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices Of the Govern
ment from several of the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark, in the
u. S. senate the other day, comprises
100 acres of the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions Then watch the results,
whether it be on this free homestead
of $50 acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as good as the $500. and $3.50.
per acre land of his native state, and
which his means will hot permit his
purchasing. On the part of the mem
bers Of the U. S. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.

In their remarks, that they pass legis-

that will make the land laws Of the

1t is the success of the American

interest is aroused and determine

a FRIEND, NOT AN ENEMY.

A child lost in an eastern city the
other day fed from an approaching
patrolman, fell under the wheels of
street car and was killed The officer
of the law, instead of being looked on
as a friend and protector, was viewed
by the childish mind as a person Of
dire purposes to be stunned. How
many parents are bringing their chill
dren up in fear of policemen? The
number doubtless is considerable.
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. 1t
seems a somewhat prevalent habit
among fathers and mothers to try to
restrain the exuberance Of their boys,
for instance, by telling them that I'M
less they are good the police will get
them. The habit is cruel, as well as
dangerous. 1t plants fear in hearts
that should be taught confidence.
Children should be taught that a pa
trolman is their friend, their protec-
tor against wrongdoers and their
guide in time of trouble. The mother
who, in order to hush noisy child,
threatens him with an appeal to an
officer in uniform, is implanting in the
child's mind fear which may some
day bring the child into peril of
death. 1t is a wicked travesty on
truth and justice for a parent thus to
play upon the natural timidity of a
child. If the parent does not live to
regret it he has merely his good for
tune to thank for the escape. The
risk is not worth taking, at any rate.
