LOOK OUT FOR THE
TURKISH MISSIONARIES


The past week band of foreign
ers, speaking poor English. profess
ing to be missionaries from Turkey.
have been going from store to store
and from house to house soliciting
money from the citizens. They have
attempted to get endorsements from
local ministers and to gain permis-
sion to speak from local pulpits, but
have been denied, as their creden-
tials do not seem to be the best. In
one instanc. where one of them call
ed at a home, and the door was shu;
in his face. he was heard to mutter
the vilest oaths toward the head OF
the house, and to leave with threats.
These people should be given the
cold shoulder, as it is the opinion OF
many local people that they are moi
what they represent themselves to
be.

trouble for the garbage can is us

that stable manure is the greatest
nuisance that the town has to con-
tend with and is responsible for most
OF its flies. Each manure pile is an
incubator for the Matching of flies
and now that science has proven that
the fly is a carrier of disease and
especially OF those diseases incident
to the summer months, 1t is much
safer to see that all manure piles

Many houses with swell fronts
have swiil back yards; and in clean
ing up the town take a look at the
back yards and alleys as well.
Some people seem to think that
alleys are maintained as places
where they may indiscriminately de-
posit their waste and filth. If any
of these people live in your neigh
borhood, make an effort TO get that
notion out of their heads.
The State Health Department will
furnish upon request model for a
fly ordinance and a pamphlet on how
to conduct a cleanup campaign.

THE BOY A PROBLEM"
TOI|1 OF FIJI. CHELEY
Director of Boys Work De-
partment of South Bend Y.
M. C. A. Speaks to Patrons
Teachers Club.

The first meeting of the season for
the Patrons-Teachers club of this city
was held Tuesday evening in the kim
dergarten goOms of the Battell school,
and was a splendid success. 1t was
well attended, the room being filled
TO capacity. The meeting opened
with a short musical program by the
Mishawaka quartet. Following the
singing Mrs. Violet Shy Parks rem
dered several splendid violin solos and
was accompanied on the piano by
Miss Mary Doolittle.
Following the musical program Mrs.
w. 3. Christophel, president of the
club, introduced the speaker of the
evening, +. III. Cheley, who is in
charge of the boys work department
of the Y. M. c. A of South Bend. Mr..
Cheley used for his topic, The Boy,
A Problem" He said that he took
the toriC of the boy as being one of
the most timely and interesting to the
teacher and parents. There were
many things about the boy which
have made interesting study for either
the teacher or parent, he being a
creature that was all stomach and all
heart. One representing physiology
AM the other psychology, both being
fundamentals of mis- career. Lately
in almost every community there had
arisen a sort OF community spirit
which had developed into a boy prob
lem. This was without question a
big problem, but as Judge Lindsey
said, There is no bad in the boy" and
many people. especially the teachers
and parents, are having difficulty in
gTaspIng the proper method of rem
cdy. When Judge Lindsey made the
above statement the speaker stated:
Il believe that he made il litera lly
and absolutely. The trouble does not
lie with the boy. but with his environ
ment. Environment of bad quality
has today" the speaker said, placed
over 100, 900 boys in the reformatoCies
of the United States. These boys are
bad because of environment All not
because of their own quality, which Is
in all cases good.
There are two general environ
ments, one is the environment of the
country and the other that of the city.
Z he former is, without doubt, the
ideal environment, because ii is the
noIm NAL one. In this environment the
boy is taught the elements of at least
six trades and is at all times kept
busy. Work or effort of a muscular
nature, is the organ of a boys Will.
He can never develop will power
without muscular development. So
you parents who are adverse to allow
ing your boys to enjoy the clean sports
Of the outdoors or indoors take heed
Of these words. When the boy cones
TO the city he has left the normal en-
vironment and the city environment
and instead of soothing his nature,
turns on the gas and goes through So
ciety at a break neck speed and like
the runaway train or automobile,
or hn &c
stopped, but he is a wreck. This is
the general environment of the city,
and when the city boy with this en-
Nironment becomes a man, man of
character, he is due a tremendous
amount of credit"
