not consist just in knowledge and de
velopment of the intellect, but rather
in the development OF heart power
and The moral life. 1t Is great
wrong of many parents to leave the
education Of their offspring more or
less to the school and the church, as
the deepest Impressions on the heart
and mind are received by the child
before attending school or church.
If the education by the parents con
sists mostly in demanding and ad-
monishing, and not in object lessons
in moral as well as in church life, the
education Of those parents will be
but OF little value AS the family is
the foundation OF the nation parents
should take care to prepare the ten
der soil of the child's heart. for the
work Of school and chufch to develop
character and conscience OF the
youth.
DR.. G. A. Warner, member OF the
board of education, was the first
speaker in the debate He spoke In
an earnest and convincing manner for
nearly half an hour. touching especial
ly on the value of good literature and
the great danger Of certain kind of
books which weakens the character,
being disastrous to the moral life of
the youth. He very much regretted
that even public Libraries loan books
of doubtful character to children.
Parents are making great mistake,
if they are Indifferent as to what
their children are reading Bible
reading should not be neglected in
the life of the family c. Wirth was in
hearty agreement with Mr.. Wolfe.
Geo. Risto was sorry to verify the
statements made by DR.. Warner. He
touched upon the precociousness Of
children, received through obscene lit
erature. j. Fasthaff referred to the
fact that many children are deprived
from getting an education, by sending
them to the factory, instead of to
school. Though there are factory in
spectors they are often deceived when
inspecting shops. Rev. Jagdstein

styles.

Had it not been for this merry en-
counter in the orient, millinery de-
signers might have gone without prop
er inspiration for the new styles in
spring hats.
Miss Retta holland. manager OF the
millinery department Of Winger Bros
has been in touch with eastern mil
linery markets for the past several
weeks and says:
Surprise and cleverness mark the
new styles In spring millinery. Hats
have a piquancy both in outline and
trimming that is undeniably fascinat-
ing. Small hats run to the turban-
hood order, chief among which are
Bulgarian turbans, oriental toques,
dainty 'cowl' effects Roman turbans
and pretty elongated designs.
THE upright style of Bulgarian
frequently called Mephisto-t trimming
is very much In evidence. The var
iety of trimming effects, however, is
almost limitless and no woman need
fear but that she can find something
to suit her fancy.
"Colors will be vivid. Bulgarian

red, yellow, blue and green with
some times a cast of violet-is in

Miss holland also states that while
small and medium sized hats will pre-.
dominate for early wear. larger hats
on the order of Shepherdess and
Rembrandt shapes are destined to
become popular as the summer season
advances. Both flowers and fancy
feather effects will be used in trim

Der are Expected Here.

State Game Warden Geo. A. LIN
coin has forwarded twelve pairs OF
Hungarian cartridges to Fort Madison
for liberation there and an equal
number are expected in Keokuk. The
deputy game warden at For Madison
wishes to arrange with parties who
have much timber and brush on their
farms to care for them.
The placing OF the Hungarian part

effort to propagate a new and easily
multiplying species Of game In Iowa,
tho money received from the hunting
licenses being devoted to that pur-
nose. Last year many cartridges were
released through the state, ship
ment OF several thousand birds appor-
toned among the various deputy
game wardens, who in turn gave them

But the success OF the breeding OF
the cartridges in this section does
not seem to have attended the ring

were received at FIT. Madison last
year. Reports from parts OF the
county where they were released In,
dicate that they have scarcely been
