would emphasize the "de
partment" idea and, as far as
possible create a rivalry between
the different departments as to
which should secure the greater
results from the time, money
and labor expended. Make the
boys feel that each one is respon-
sible under you for the results in
some particular department.
They will at once begin to
feel that they amount to some
thing and they will amount to
something.
Make the farm buildings as at
tractlve as possible. If practic-
able, have all the modern labor
savers and time conservers. You
can at least have buildings in
good repair and use plenty of
paint. The BOYS like to have
something to be proud OF, some
thing different from what their
nelghbors have, and a well kept
barn yard and well painted
buildings will make a lot of diff
ference in their willingne ess to
stay on the farm.

No Celebration in Cheraw
This Year

The following statement from
the Board of Trade, of Cheraw,
has been sent out:
After promising w. F. Steven
son, the Board of Trades repre-
sentative, if possible, to visit
Cheraw on July 8, Cheraw's
proposed home coming
week and its 150th anniversary
OF the founding of this city, the
president has felt obliged to call
Oft the engagement. William
Godfrey and E. w. Duvall went
to Washington yesterday to get
Mr.. Wilson's final answer and
this is the result. The following
letter was sent out by the Board
OF Trade today, calling off the
celebration entirely:
Owing to the fact that con-
siderable publicity has been Civ
en- to the press without the
authority of the Board of Trade
OF Cheraw, concerning the pro-
posed visit of President Wilson
on July 8, we ask that you in
form the public through your
columns that the present condi.
ton of public affairs and espec-
ially the Mexican situation,
makes it entirely impossible for
the president to leave Washing
ton on this date and the Cheraw
Board of Trade has therefore
called off he July celebration
for this year.

After carefully considering
the matter, the Commission does
not, at this time, feel warranted
in ordering operation of c.. &L.

any serious complaint should
come up along this line, the

Organize A Debating Society.

Boys and Girls, you ought to
have a debating society in your
school, Why not organize one?
The man who can not say what
he wants TO say in a public meet
ing is at great disadvantage.
That is chief reason why law
years and city men have more
influence IN politics than farmers
have. The farmers have not
been trained to talk in public.
Ii you could have a debate
every other Friday night if
would be fine feature. Or YOU
might simply organize a literary
society-or two literary societies
taking opposite sides in debate
but working together on all
other things-and vary your
programs. At one meeting you
could have a debate; at the next
meeting musical program; then
a program of recitations and
dialogues; and then a speech by
some leader in health work or
educational work or farm work,
or by some man of prominence
in nearby city or an adjoining
county.
Anyhow. | wish all Our farm
boys and girls would interest
themselves in having some such
meeting every other Friday night,
or once a month at leaSt.-C. P.
in the Progressive Farmer.

Mr. Terrill is famous as an avia-

Trouble About Ended.

SooS AAoCos
Niagara Falls, Ont, June pa
Terms for composing all inter-
nal differences between the
United States and Mexico have
been concluded. The conditions
under which diplomatic relation
will be resumed were embodied
in protocol signed tonight by
the Ambassador from Brazil, the
Ministers of Chile and Argen-
tina and the American and
Huerta delegates.
The character of settlement is
not expected to arouse opposi-
ton from the Constitutionalist,
who would participate in it and
to a large degree it would mould
the adjustment of all internal
disputes.
When a new provisional Gov
ernment is established to susceed
that headed by General Huerta
the result of mediation, recogniz-
ed as a triumph for Pan Ameri-
can diplomacy, will become
effective.
Coincidentally with the action
taken tonight it was announced
that the actual selection of a
provisional president and the
organization of the new govern
ment, will be left to an informal
conference of representatives of
the Constituencies, Luis Cab
era, Rafael Zubaran and Jose
NasconCelos, and the Huerta
delegates to the medition con-
ference.
Tonight's formal session of
mediators and delegates prepar-
ed the way for the complete set
tlement of difficulties between
the United States and Mexico
growing out of the failure of a
Huerta officer at Tampico to
salute ihe Stars and Stripes.
The single outstanding pro-
viso in the protocQ! is that the
international i-.-agg.y.- ata.ll.he,
declared adjusted on the estab-
ishment of a new provisional
government. The protocol sets
forth:
That the United States and
Argentina, Brazil and Chile the
mediating countries, shall recog.
nize the new provisional gov.
eminent and that thenceforth
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Mexico shall
be resumed.
THAT the United States de-
mands no indemnify and does
not further exact satisfaction for
any of the incidents connected
with the patrol of Mexican
waters and invasion of the coun-
try.
That a commission shall be
appointed to adjust private
claims growing out of the revo-
luton and international Incl
dents"
The protocol was drafted
early today and its phraseology
telegraphed to Washington for
approval.
AT 9 o'clock tonight word
came from President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan authorizing the
American delegates to sign it.

Keeping The Boys On The Farm

oiioWh iile tlllS: NO BOY without
an object in life is satisfied. A
healthy, vigorous boy must have
something to do out of which he
can See some results accruing to
himself. The time has gone by
when a father could command
the services of his sons until
they were 81 years of age and
give them nothing in return but
their board and clothes. The
boys must have workout they
must have financial interest in
that work and they must have
some responsibility for the re-
suits of their labor. Most of
them get plenty of labor-there
is no lack of that. But are they
made to feel that they have
personal interest in their work?
Do they know that faithful and
intelligent labor and the practi-
cal application of the best and
most approved methods will put
any money in their pockets or
add in any way to their pleasure?
Are they encouraged to think
and plan and experiment for
themselves or simply to obey
orders and do what they are told
to do?
The boy is not a machine. He
does not want to be bossed-he
wants to boss something. Give
him something to boss. Whether
1t be an animal, a bunch of trees
or plot of ground, give him
something to do with absolutely
as he pleases-but hold him re-
ponsible for the results, And
there you have the two great
factors that are necessary to
hold boys anywhere-an interest
and a responsibility.

The little boy turned away
with a sad heart as she shut the
door in his face.
She had hardly got back to her
work when another knock dis
turbed her, and on opening the
door this time she saw a little
girl with a shawl wrapped
around her naked body.

little girl.

The lady again went to work,
and a third time a knock disturb

not open the door, but pretended
she was not at home, so the man
went away. She waited all day
and Jesus did not come.
That very night she fell upon
her knees and asked the Lord
why he had not come to see her
that day, and he answered her
by saying that he could not come
himself, but had sent three peo.

every one of them.-Selected.
