III MIND OF A BOY
Find His Idol and You Have the Key
to His Life.

Find His Idol and You Have the Key
to His Life.
Warren A. Slice. Is years old, lay
sick for weeks, and, according to a
Washington dispatch, physicians said
they did not think he would recover.
Then the lad went into delirium and
talked of Walter Johnson, the speed
king among the pitchers of the Amer
lean League. He had been the boys
idol, the nan of men before whom this
lad had stood secretly in awe, and
when the mind was free the idol of his
worship spoke to him.
When the term came back to Wash
ington from its Western trip a mem
Der of the boys family had intuitive
sense enough to seek out the pitcher
and tell him what the doctors said.
Naturally Mr.. Johnson wanted to go
10 the boys bedside, but the physi-
clans said no, that the excitement
would be fatal.
So he wrote this letter, and it was
read to the boy in an interval of de-
lirium:
My Dear Mr.. Warren: | take pleas
ure in sending you herewith one Of
the baseballs used ON our Western
trip, and hope that you will soon have
the opportunity of using it with your
friends"
Pills, powders and surgery had fail
ed, but an idol worked another mira
Gle. As if touched by the gods of old.
there was an immediate change for
the better, and on Saturday it was said
that Warren will soon leave the hos
pital and be able to use that baseball.
The primitive mind had been allowed
to work.
Many distinguished writer's have
tried in vain to describe the psycholo-
gy of miracles such as there. Kipling
and his "Brushwood Boy" Kenneth
Grahame and his Golden Age" they
Lave essayed to explain the mind Of
boy, but it cannot be done. All that
we know is, as Thackeray says, that
every boy at a stage in his life has
some idol. Of course, the idols change,
eventually becoming feminine. Yet if
our learned uplifters would seek to
learn the name or nature of each boys
idol, and work through it, instruction
in moral hygiene and eugenics would
become obsolete. That way progress
>lies.a If an idol can save a life it can
do other things, for it represents the
boys ambition at it's best and most i'm
questionable period.
And what matter the form the idol
takes? 1t may be, as it often is. a To-
connective engineer, a drum major, a
baseball pitched; through the hero
worship of these exalted beings the
boys salvation lies. Text books on
biology we're never intended for the
primitive mind.-N. Y. Sun.

Senator Fletcher of Florida Introduces
Important Measure Would be Big
Aid to Farmers.
From Washington comes the follow
ing dispatch:
Washigtonn, Aug. "a nationa!
rural banking system was proposed in
a bill today by Senator Fletcher, chair
man of the American commission on
industrial credits, and also of the fed
eral commission on rural credits ap-
pointed by the president.
The bill proposes a system of local
national rural banks owned and oper-
ated by farmers; a state national rural
bank in each state to be owned nd
controlled by the local banks as stock
holders, and the national rural bank
of the United States to be located in
the rural banks.
"Rural Banking Board"
To supervise the proposed chain OF
banks there would be created in the
treasury department a division of ru-
raj banking under the direction of q
rural banking board" to consist OF
the secretaries of the treasury, agri-
culture and labor. The division would
be under the immediate direction Of a
director of rural banking chosen by
the president.
The main purpose of the banks
would be to furnish funds to farmers
on long term farm bonds or notes Sc
cured by liens on farms at not exceed
ing 60 per cent of their assessed value.
Loans would be secured first by a
local bank, then by a state bank, and
last by the national rural bank of the
United States, and they would run
from twenty to fifty years. The ma
tional rural bank is designed to have
Il capital and surplus exceeding $780,
600. 900, while the stock of each local
hank would be limited to $2,O00,0OO.
Senator Fletcher, speaking in the
senate today to urge immediate con-
sideration of the measures by the
banking committee and it's passage at
the special session of congress, ex-
pressed approval of the administra-
ton currency bill is a commercial
banking bill, but said it would not
meet the needs of the agricultural
communities because of the necessity
for long term loans.
The proposed federal reserve sys-
tenn, the senator said, did not offer
such relief and the provisions of his
he maintained, though not
perfect, would meet the requirements.
