WHAT DOES YOUR BOY
READ?

There is hardly any service that an
educational agency and the Boy Scouts
movement is that, most decidedly
there Is scarcely any service that an
institution of that kind can render of
which there Ia more need, or which il
likely to be more appreciated by pains
taking parents than safe and intelligent
assistance in selecting and directing the
reading of their children. In these
days OF the making Of 80 many books
when books are SO cheap and 50 easily
accessible--how can the average parent
know whether the books his children
devour with eagerness are calculated to
do them good or do them lasting harm?
For we must not underestimate the
influence of books. History Is full Of
stories OF men who have been made by
the influence Of a good book-~men of
eminence - but it Is silent for the most
part about the men who have been
spoiled by 4 bad book. The answer Is
that the average parent~-the one who
liz not giving special attention TO the
subject-~can not know, except he be
guided by some one who has taken
great pains to find out.
That 10 just what the chief scout
librarian. r. X. Matthews, and com
mission of the national council have
done. They have had the cooperation
Of the American Library Association
and the American Booksellers Associ.
alton and have profited by the advice OF
individual teachers and librarians
They have appealed for the help of tn
schools and churches and are entitled tt
1t. They have prepared a large list Of
titles and have distributed these list
throughout the country. The Ameri
can has list which we win gladly show
TO parents in this community who ar
interested In purchasing good books TO
their children.

gold ring with a bright shiny
diamond that shone very brightly
That was the very ring the young
man was looking for. 1t was
given back to him the next day.
Many years have past since

woods and the lakes stands a fine
house. The lady of that house
wears on her finger the very

all the poor neighboring children

got that ring she gives five gold
rings to industrious girls.
In reward for her honesty she

than any other county in the state
the average valuation Of each
dairy cow in Polk county is

The three main points in favor
Of dairying are these: First, but

The manure furnished by a dairy

One Of the seasons greatest offerings
at the Playhouse is David Warfield.
whom David Belasco will bring here
shortly in his own latest play, Van
Der Decken." This is a legendary
play of the sea, written expressly for
Mr.. Warfield, and in which Mr.. Be
lasco has aimed to provide Americas
greatest actor with a role far sur
passing in power and charm anything
that even he has ever portrayed. That
Mr. Warfield's wonderful human por-
trayal Of his latest character will far
surpass anything else seen on the
stage is generally to be expected when
one stops to consider this actors
marvellous portrayal in his greatest
successes the stage has ever known
in "The Auctioneer" The Music
Master" "A Grand Army Man" and
THE Return of Peter Grimm" A
play jointly produced and acted by
the two greatest opponents of the art
OF the drama in the world today
David Warfield, the premier actor on
the stage, and David Belasco, the
greatest dramatic producer and play
wright-is sure TO attract wide atten-
ton among playgoers. Thus much may
be expected of Mr.. Warfeld in his lat
est role in MIR. Belasco's new play,
ivan Der Decken," which will be seen
here Saturday, December 4.

DISTRICT Loses $1,000

At the morning session OF the Levy
Court yesterday a resolution was
passed transferring $1,000 to the
maintenance fund of the Fifth district.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Scott
drew the courts attention to the fact
that a few weeks ago the court passed
a resolution requiring that all main
tenanee work should be done by the
court and Highway Commissioner
James Wilson. This action was
taken by the court upon the request
OF the finance committed Ia order
that all bills can be paid By that com.
mlttee and to prevent a deficit at the
END OF the county's fiscal year. Under
the plan each member of the court
would be held down to his appropria-
ZION and bills for stone and labor
could not be contracted without the
consent OF the entire court.
Mr.. fouracre, who presented The
resolution, said he did so for the hest
interests of the county. Mr. scott
said he had not been present AZ tbe
morning session. but he wished In on
pose the action because it was doing
tne very thing the Court had decided
not TO do.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Burris the reso-
luton adopted at the morning session
was reeonsidered. Bills which Mr..
smith had contracted were ordered
paid and all members hereafter will be
Obliged to consult the highway com
missioner and the other members OF
the Court before such bills are al
lowed.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

lhls question is asked every day.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
tood-elements. In changing seasons
tat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why

SUPPOSED Bet NOT
larceny UNDER Law

A larceny case growing out OF a
supposed poolroom bet, was dismissed
in City Court today. The defendant
was Samuel Barnes.
Witnesses had alleged that he went
into pool room on Market street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth and said;
Il will play anybody here for So
Ralph Tindal said he would take up
the bet and put up So. SO did Barnes.
Tindall won the game, but Barnes,
II is said. took all the stakes, $40. IL
was contended that Barnes had moi
bet on the game, but merely offered
to play for IS.
Assistant City Solicitor Lynn said
that he had looked up the law and
the case came very near that OF lar
ceny. He, however, asked that the
case be dropped.
