PORT.
rDavenport De1nocrat.l

Davenport Dem Ocrat.J
Most Davenporters do not know
that one of the features Of Y. NJ. c. A.
work which the international commit
tee is enthusiastically prom oting is
the shop chau tauqua, and that the
idea originated with the Davenport
association and is being taken up and
copied all over the world.
The Davenport association leads
the state in its educational work. ard
Secretary Sawyers told a gathering
OF business men at the association
building Thursday noon that Daven-
port was placed sixth Of all the cities
Of the world. when the international
committee listed. recently, the TWEEN
ty-ive associations which had made
the most important contribution of
ideas to the educational work.
It is because Of the extent Of the
privileges that the Y. NJ. c. A. insists
on putting within reach Of young
men in return for a nominal member
ship fee. that the association can not
be self-sustaining. To attempt to make
local association seR-sustainging is
to make it dead association. It holds
1t down to giving only so worth Of
service for SO. What it seeks to do
everywhere is to give $50 or SIS worth
Of privileges for SO. To do the mos;
that it can for young men is it's pur-
pose. That is the reason that it must
depend upon the business men of the
community for hearty support of it's
work.

Northwestern Canada will always be

judgment and careful action to live
and engage in business. but the stories
Of boom times there during the past
few years have convinced most OBJ
servers there was bound to be a slump,
The tales OF sudden wealth surpassed
the achievements i'll the Arabian
Nights. All one had to do was to buy
a piece Of property and a buyer would
take it at a good profit. he in turn
selling out at round profit and the
next man the same. ad infinitun. The
latest reports from that section are
that times are tight and forced liqui-
dation is in full swing. 1t was bound
to come and no doubt It will continue
until a reasonable and safe basis OF
values has been reached. Probably
those who do their buying later instead
Of when the boom was on Will get VAL

DON'T START HIM KILLING SHEEP.

There are altogether too many IN
employed boys Of IA and older wan
derine about seeking amusement and
falling into deviltry thru tdleness. The
woods are full Of them, boys who have
no occupation at home and who fall
into a sort of evil leadership of small
er boys. Id1eness is the mother Of mis-
chief and some Of these larger lads are
glad to sit in her lap.
Not that they are bad boys. They
haven't any sense of responsibility.
They are idle. With their fathers busy
at hard work every day they have
outsrown maternal authority 10 con-
siderable degree and take their own
way. They are falling into that point
OF view which sees the home as a good
place to eat and sleep, that accepts al,
4 can give them as a natural right
which conveys no responsibility in re-
turn for what it receives. They get
AWAY to the woods and the river as
hearly as possible and return when they
get hungry. Naturally they run to petty
deyiltry and lead smaller boys al7nS
with them.
Nobody would attempt to raise a
puppy in that way. If he did he would
expect a worthless dog, a back yard
thief or a sheep killer. We ought TO
pay as much attention to training a
hoy as to training pup.
Strange as - may seem hoy and a
well bred puppy are not 80 vastly diff
ferent. 1t spoils both to run wild. Both
need guidance, direction and sometime
correction.
