Household and Mental Order.

Froebel, father Of c%hild-study," said
that inward clearness proceeds from
outward order" and there is truth
enough in the observation to give food
for thought in the careless, untidy
mother and father. Froebel's saying
was connected, no doubt with his in
sistence that the child's play and work
materials in the kindergarten should
be taken out in perfect order and SO
returned at the close of the exercises,
and DR.. Montessori, the Italian educa-
zionist, whose method is working a
change in the teaching Of children, re-
quires the anne thing in her Houses
Of Childhood" There must indeed be
a potent influence in an orderly pune
tual, wisely-administered household,
and there is no question that children
brought up in such an atmosphere do
show clearness in their mental pro-
cesses Fortunately. this is an influ-
ence which is independent of riches or
poverty and SO can be exerted by n
mother.

Not for Ten Cents.

During Robert Blossoms last visit

the Sabbath with an acquaintance who
owned a big plantation near Port Glib
son, Miss.
Some time in the afternoon a large
gathering Of negroes appeared on the
banks of a stream that skirted the
farm, attracted by a baptism. Mr..
Edeson, calling to a black boy who
was looking on, said:
Isaac, I'll give you a dime II you
will be baptized this afternoon"
For fully three minutes the darkey
looked at Mr.. Edeson, then he an,

THOUSANDS Of
AVAILABLE HeMESTEADs
Western Canada's Homestead
Area Being Increased.

The great rush for homesteads
whenever q reservation is opened BY
the q. S. government reveals the fact
that there Is a great desire on the
part OF the American people to get
land. The fact that tens Of thousands
are on hand at every opening, and N
ly a few hundred homesteads are
available shows that the avail
able agricultural lands which are
In the gift Of the government are rap
idly diminishing. In addition to this
agricultural lands that ere OF proved
value have advanced In price to such
an extent that 1t becomes a serious
question to the man with moderate
means who intends to go into farming.
where he shall go. Fortunately there
Is yet to be had in Western Canada,
either In Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta. thousands of free homesteads
Of $50 acres each. which may be had,
by the simple process Of filing, paying
a ten dollar entrance fee, and living on
1t for six months each year for three
years. There Is no necessity to make
q long, tedious and expensive journey.
only to find you have one chance in
fifty Of getting what you want. Al
though this demonstrating has been
going on In Canada for a number of
years, and hundreds Of thousands Of

and OF as good land as any that has
yet been taken UP. In fact, In the
opinion Of very many, those that are
left are OF the best. They comprise
lands that give the opportunity to in
dulge In the growing Of grain. wheth-
er 1t be wheat, oats, barley or fax.
but in addition these lands are admir-
ably adapted for mixed farming, q
class of farming that Is certain to give
better returns than that Of all grain
growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on
the nutritious grasses; dairying can
be carried on successfully; timber for
building is within reach, and water is
easy to get. These lands are located

the more open prairie sections by the
planting of trees. Tree culture by the
way Is being carried on to a great ex-
tent. Besides these free grant lands
there are lands which may be had by
purchasing from railways and private
companies and individuals. These
lands have not increased in price as
their productive qualities and their To-
cation might have warranted, and may
still be had at reasonably low prices
and on easy terms. The crop in West
ern Canada in 1913 was one of the
best of the number Of good crops that
that country has raised. Wheat has
been reported with yields Of from 80
to 45 bushels per acre, and other grain
with like heavy yields.-Advertise-

That is the iron of character which

current of will. a high and shining cour-

heroism of the rarest kind.
Mrs. Mcfarland fought fate over tho

WASHINGTON. June Promptly
at noon yesterday President Wilson
handed to a boy clad in the uniform
of a Boy Scout a message Of encour-
agement for clean athletics. The boy
darted out of the White House and
broke into trot, and the 775-mila
relay to Chicago was on.
Exactly 775 boys will handle the
presidents message. At noon June
2S, unless plans miscarry, the 775th
boy will carry the presidential message
into Chicago, deliver it to officials OF
the great pre- Olympic athletic festival
and the games of the International Ath-
letic Championships Association will
start.
Boy messengers will be carrying the
missive continuously from today on.
They will run by daylight and starlight
the night runs to be made by the older
members Of the courier band. Par
ents of some Of the boys at first OBJ
jected to the night relays but officers
of the athletic associations along the
route volunteered to pace the lads iii
automobiles and all objections were re
moved. The route leads from Wash
ington to Frederick, Md; thence to
PittsburS, Cleveland, Toledo, South
Bend, and Chicago. Each boy will run
a mile, but care will be exercised to
see that no boy overtaxes himself. The
majority of the runners are Boy Scouts.
Others are school boys picked by ath =
letic associations along the route. Each
runner will receive an emblem as a
souvenir of the run.

MANY PERSONS ARE OUT
ON ANNUAL VACATIONS

The towns Of the valley have con-
tnucd so much activity that the ques-
ton has been raised whether as many
people as usual have gone to coast
and mountain resorts, and the Press is
rather surprised to find that the rail
road records show that more people
have gone out than ever before. As
the population Of the valley has in
creased about 25 per cent i'll year,
the greater number might still leave
more people here than usual, and this
seems to be the real situation.
But business men, more than in
previous years. have made up their
minds to go ahead and transact bus
mess as usual. without encouraging the
feeling of quietude, and at the same
time all sorts Of structural work is rs
active now as ever, with every IN
dication of continued activity during
the next ninety days. which will cover
the hot period.
1t is presumed that at the present
time 10000 people are out of the val
ley, scattered through mountain and
seaside resorts or visiting friends in
eastern states, and this is as great 2
number as will be out of the valley
at any time this summer.

only remains to make the celebration
one of the most unique events in his

Many Of the veterans will use the
tents thrown up by the government
for the use of the reunion participants.
For some distance around the border
Of the town the fields are covered with
numberless large brown canvas tents.
Each is provided with cots for five
men, ample bed furnishings, and con-
tain eating utensils which, after being
used at the camp, become the prop
erty of the man who uses them. The
camps are laid out in regulation army
fashion with avenues Of large electric
lights indicating the streets and state
sections. Water mains, sewage pipes
and electric lighting systems are N
operation throughout the tented vii
lages and transportation facilities from
the nearby towns thoroughly mapped
out and ready. A great tent, seating
between 10000 and $4,000 persons,
has been erected adjoining the main
camp in which all exercises and re-
unions Of the veterans will be held
The Pennsylvania Gettysburg com
mission, in charge of the arrangements
for the reunion, has urged that all vet

corps or division badges as a means
Of identification. The commission has
made no recommendation in the mat

In order TO avoid as far as possible

The entire state constabulary is es-

The eneampment grounds, inside and
out, will be guarded constantly by reg
ular army troops. The camp is located
near the famous battle-ground at the
southwest edge Of the town and ad-
joining historic Seminary ridge and the
scene Of Pickett's charge.
