TUCH Of the happiness of
M life depends on making a
wise choice OF friends
Very true friendships may be
formed early in life and may
grow out of comradeship In
school or college, or in social or in
business relationships, but even in
the very early years tastes must
&c trained to be discriminating.
Girls must strive to understand
how to choose, how to discern and
judge character, for it is on the
worth of character that true
friendship is based. Without in
sight or dlscernment one may
make fatal mistakes which viii
bring disappointment and may
mar life
A girls friends and companions
show just what sort of a girl she
is, A girl who is refined in her
tastes will not associate with
those who are loud in manner,
coarse in speech conspicuous in
dress.
Companions are doing harm
when they encourage having a
good time At The expense Of a
disregard Of proprieties or p dis
regard Of right Friends or sc-
quaintances who tempt girl to

Investigation to Reach
Crime Source Is
Necessary.
NGCSSSdIy.

The nature of such offenses in
evitably precludes such frank
ness of relation between judge
and criminal as is essential TO
correct and just action.
Women can understand girls
better than men can, and with
out such understanding, just and
wise judgment can not be rem
dered.
Especially does this principle
hold in the matter of criminals
that are young in years and i'm
mature in crime. 1t may be less
applicable in the case of those
that are hardened in ways of
iniquity.
But in instances. of youthful
waywardness the best part of the
work of judge does not consist
in determining whether crime has
been committed and in affixing
commensurate penalty. but in
carrying the investigation far
enough inward to reach the
springs of action and TO apply
at that point such correetives
of wise and sympathetic counsel
as shall check the first impulses
toward crime, and convert them
into impulses toward what is up
right and pure.

are brought should be a school of

Revolutionary Attitude
in Ulster a Very
Serious One.

The, revolutionary attitude as
sumed in Ulster County. Ireland
is, to outward appearance, one OF
great seriousness, and vet one
can not help wondering whether
the Ulster people, with all the
military preparations which they
are making, sincerely expect to
compete successfully with the
British army or whether It Is
merely kind of bluff which they
are putting up in order to drive
the British Government to COM
promise.
Another question which It
would be very enlightening to
have answered is, How does it
happen that Catholics and Prot
estants get along together fairly
tremendously in the rest Of Ire
land, while in Ulster the friction
between them is general and con-
slant?
Ulster County is largely popu-
lated by Protestants OF Scotch
and, English descent. The Irish
were driven out to make room
for them; that is to say. to make
room for their Scotch and Eng
fish ancestors. This is all writ
ten out in history in plain Eng
lish.
The Ulster Scotchmen and Eng
lishmen of to-day are living on
stolen territory, territory that
was stolen from Irishmen. and
the passing of three centuries
does not undo the thievery nor
raise it to the dignity of honor
able acquisition.

It Is Not Too Late To Be
Reconciled to the
Situation.

Our Protestant Ulster friends,
living in comfort and affluence on
ground from which Irishmen have
been eXpatTiated, ought not to
forget this, but to reflect upon it
with kind of meditation that has
in it seriousness and a tinge Of
penitence, and either make up
their minds to get along as COM
fortably as they can with their
Irish contemporaries or go back
to Scotland and England, from
which they were thepselves
transplanted. 1t may be too late
to go back, but 1t is not too late
to reconcile themselves to a stu
alton into which their own fore
bears have precipitated them.

Bv DIR. CHARLES H. PARKHURST

\ BILL has just been intro
N duced in the New York
Legislature calling for the
appointment of two women
judges to aid in dealing with such
young girl culprits as are brought
into the Children's Court.
Such a move can hardly fail
of receiving the cordial support
of all who know anything of the
number of such culprits or who
appreciate the fitness, not to say
the necessity. of their being dealt
with by feminine officials.
When change so evidently
appropriate and urgent is made
or proposed, we always wonder
why it was not made long be-
fore.
Women can not do everything
that a man can do, but some
things they can do a great deal
better than he.
Many of the offenses that would
fall within the jurisdiction Of
women judges are of kind that,
from a moral point of view,
ought not to lie within the juris-
diction of male judges.

MORE FACTS ABOUT THE SRNElES CACTUS

would call it an all round money
maker.
Cactus may be planted in any
month. but never when the ground is
wet. My various informants all seem
to specify April as the best month
for planting. The ground should be
dry on the surface and where 1t
touches the slab. These slabs weigh
from two to five pounds each. As
the slabs remain in good condition all
the year, harvesting is unnecessary.
This is very great advantage over
other feed crops.
Many requests have come in for
information in regard TO where slabs
may be purchased. There are farm
ers in Arizona and California who
sell in small quantities, but those who
wish to get reliable information and
rock bottom prices, will do well to
write to Spineless Cactus Plantation.
