10 steal from a great corporation.
The child's confidence in its parent
lost, its ambition broken, and given an
object lessen in untruthfulness and
stealing. What can be worse Many
boys leave the farm for the city Just
because they have feelings. They are
willing to work, but they have rights
that are not respected.
My plea is this; that we look to the
welfare of the boys and girls in the
light of the future and that all the
rest be made to serve to that end.
Boys and girls are natural resources
and they need development of their
faculties. God has given their facul.
ties for purpose and they all belong
to Him and unless developed will be
short OF the Masters ideal. The
boys and girls are more than so many
animals to be fed and clothed and
housed; they are gifts from God and
lie expects them again with usury;
lhey are the means TO carry on His
work Of saving souls and for this
cause God needs well-rounded men
and women. Boys and girls are in
the stage Of Development and to rob
them of their privilege to be devel.
oped Is robbing God Of his dues; and
yet people now as Of old ask, "Where
In have we robbed thee" While the
sons and daughters no doubt appre-
ciate 1t to have farm to go to when
they start out in life yet many life
would enjoy itself more with less Of
this worlds goods and instead have
more development Of mind and soul
and capable OF enjoying more Of the
real issue Of life. 1t is not so much
a question Of living the best possible
life while we do live. To this end let
us make the most possible Of the boys
and girls. X. Bixler I'm Good Cit.

CONSERVATION OF THE
COUNTRY BOYS & GIRLS

or late years We have heard much
I Of conserving the natural resources
OF cur nation, such as its for SITS,
Mill, rails, water power, food stu is,
etc. There has been an exceeding
waste along these lines and now we
are wishing that we might have for
use what was formerly wasted. But
greater than these wastes are those
of the lives, physical, mental, moral
and spiritual, of the country boys
and girls. The city boys and girls
have already received some attention
and laws are being enacted that pro-
hibit their employment under certain
ages in the factories, but on the farms
there is no statutory provision for
them. Horace Plunkett who has
made a study of the rural problem
from many angles says that in rural
life Is to be found the greatest waste
Of natural resources both human and
material. Strictly speaking to con.

ed from dog taxes should be devoted

turn recover this money whenever pos,
sible from the dogs owners. A spec

While some such plan as this is
probably indispensable TO the full de-

desirable The grazing Of sheep upon
comparatively small areas of land
sown to forage crops, instead Of upon
permanent pastures in larger fields,
materially reduces the area to be fenc-
ed and makes this a practicable pre-
caution. In the West fences have
been built which prove satisfactory
defence against coyotes, and the fence
that will turn aside a coyote will turn

attack the sheep at night only.
If sufficient area can be fenced to

day. This method involves ceretain
loss of time in driving the sheep to
