BUSINESS WITH EUROPE.

Reports from officials in various gov
eminent departments at Washington
indicate that the fragmentary reports
Of large orders received by American
concerns for supplies to the belliger-
ent nations have not been eXagger-
ated. Although authentic information
is lacking, conservative estimates
place the value OF orders received
thus far at $500. 100000. This money
has gone chiefly for horses, mules,
army clothing, harness, camp equip
ment, foodstuffs and steel Many fac
tories report that they are running
overtime ct full capacity to meet the
demand for rush orders. And the
fear which has been expressed that
this abnormal demand was merely
temporary has been somewhat allayed
by a steady stream of orders along
lines now well esta blished. Some real
concern is being felt, however, lest the
shipping facilities prove inadequate.
Large cargoes Of grain are said TO be
accommodating at docks, and though
the scarcity OF vessels due 10 the need
OF the cOmbatants for freight carrying
ships IN their navies has in some
measure been relieved by the registry
Of about so vessels under the emer-
gency law passed by congress, the in
creased volume Of trade is still too
large to be eXpediuOuSly handled.
Freight rates have risen, and steam
ships companies are choosing their
cargOes with the strictest regard or
international cOntraband laws. It is
hardly probable. though, that freight
congestion Will long continue. From
the point Of view Of this countrys
general welfare, IL appears as If this
thriving export business should con-
tribute a large share 70 the era OF
prosperity which the federal reserve
bank system has so auspiciOusly
ushered in.-IndianaDOHs News

FIXING THE BLAME.

The proposal to punish parents in
stead of children when the little ones
become juvenile delinquents is calcu-
lated to place the blame where it
properly belongs. Behind the major
ity of the wrong doing by children is
to be found defective training by par
ents and something is needed to bring
them to a higher regard for their re-
sponsibilities.
Changing modes of life have served
to break up the old family ties IN
many parts of the country. With the
growth Of the cities and the conse-
uuent increase in the urban popula-
ton, the family has become less de-
pendent upon it's individual members
tor the necesSarieS as well as the lux
uries of life. When the people dWelt
close to the land and life was a con-
slant battle against unfrlendly nature
the family was dependent upon It's
members for amusement as well as
for the necessaries Of life. The par
ents were brought closer to their chill
dren and interest taken in their
bringing up. Now the parents work
outside of the home and the children
are frequently left TO find their
amusement outside Of the home;
In any large city, it is possible 10

the night. Questionable resorts cater
ing to the children run full blast ana
daily sordid tales of children gone
wrong are to be heard in the court
rooms. Invariably the beginning OF
their downfall can be traced back 10
a laxity in discipline and lack OF
interest in the dOings of their chll-
dren upon the part Of the parents.
When boys and girls are permitted 10
tramp the streets and TO seek amuse-
ment wherever it is TO be found'

The parents are to blame for any
thing which happens to their children
when they permit them 70 go ana

The Advisory and Auxiliary Com

Tuesday, May 18th. at 1880.
The equipment Of the club has
been added to recently In the form
OF a couple Of coat and hat racks.
These racks were made mostly by the
boys of the eighth grade OF the Lin
coin school. although a number Of
other boys helped put on the finish
Ing touches. The teacher OF manual
training. r. o. Trueblood. planned
and supervised the work.
The April number OF the maga-
zine entitled Work With Boys" con-
tains splendid article concerning
the Newsboys' Club Of Toledo. We
take the liberty Of quoting 4 few
paragraphs from that article. to show
the boys Of La Junta what boys are
doing elsewhere:
John ID. Gunckel has done much
to put Toledo on the map. There
may be other distinguishing charac-
teristics Of Toledo. II doubtless has
many other merits and much addi-
tional claim to fame. But It has the
most remarkable newsboys' organi-
zation In the world. And this is the
first thought that will come to the
mind OF readers OF this magazine
when Toledo Is mentioned. Not its
great industries. not Its vast public
works. not its intellectual enterprise.
but foremost and especially It's news
boys and its Gunckel.
The organization has for years
been a lively and vital one. Since the
buildings dedication on February
%. 1903. various new features have
been added. among them a new band.
new company Of cadets. an orches-
ira. a girls auxiliary. an ASK me
about Toledo movement" probation
officers. a newsboys' business mems
club. and the Sunday School depart
ment.
The total membership OF this
Gunckel organization Is almost too
big to compute. II totals up l0.345.
II is the boast OF the organization
tina, no boy has ever been asked to
become a member. The boys came
TO the office without solicitation and
requested to be enrolled. In the
gymnasium there has been an aver
age monthly attendance Of nearly
1900. Another boast and . worthy
one II that not 4 boy has been hurt
ance the gymnasium was opened"
From several pages Of terse state
ments which Mr.. Gunckel himself
gives about the activities Of the club
we quote one paragraph:
! ANY boy between the ages Of
eight and seventeen. who signs the
application which reads: ! do not
approve Of swearing. gambling. steal
Ing. going into saloons. drinking In.
toxicating liquors. running away
from home or school. using tobacco
