PEACE ENJOYS REACH
BERNIE AFTER DELAYS

Berne. Switzerland. Dec. 20.-After
many vicissitudes in getting across
the frontier enough delegates to the
international congress TO study the
base of a durable peace arrived TO
permit of a meeting of the executive
council. A long session was held be.
hind closed doors, the purpose be-
ing to give out a statement later.
Seven nations are said TO be repre-.
scented, but the names of the delegates
and the countries they represent are
being withheld for the present owing
to the emharrassments and dangers
resulting from participation in peace
meetings.
Officials of the council maintain,
however. that they are not conducting
peace propaganda and are not seeking
TO influence propositions toward that
end, but are preparing solely for the
international social and economic con
ditions which will result after the bel
ligerents make peace. Resolutions to
this effect probably will be adopted
to free the organization from the diff.
fieulties II is experiencing in carrying
on its work.

Are You Sure the Title To Your Land Is

In the current issue of Farm and Fire.
side, the national farm paper published
az Springfield, O., Herbert Quick, edi-
tor of that publication, tells the story OF
n farmer in Crawford county, Mo, who.
after working farm for four years. has
just discovered that the farm which he
supposed he owned belongs to another.
A fraud was perpetrated on this farmer
by land agent who gave him a deed
calling for another farm than the one
he showed him and upon which he has
been living. The farm which he really
owns is poor rocky piece of land. Mr..
Quick uses this story TO teach farmers a
lesson OF being careful about their legal
papers. Mr.. Quick says in part:

A Story of the Right Kind of Father

which is told the story OF two fathers
one, successful father in his relations
to his children, and the other failure
successful father:
"The father who has kept his son
was wise enough to remember that there
are no sorrows in the world so bitter
as the disappointments of childhood. For
instance, the boy will never forget his
fathers tender solicitude on the morning
when they got up to find that the cat
had eaten his pigeon. He had moved
lawns and weedpd gardens all summer
with no word of complaint. because the
money that he earned was to puchase the
finest pair of fancy pigeons in town. In
the evenings, after the days hard work.
he built the little house that was to be
the pigeons home and fashioned the ward
Of wire around IT, One evening when
the summer was nearly over he trudged
uptown with the earnings of all his work
in his pocket. and came back with the
two beautiful birds. He watched them
in their little house until long past his
usual bedtime. That night the eat found
a place where the wire around the yard
was not secure, and killed one of the
birds.
Some fathers might have passed IL of
with laugh and an offer to replace the
lost bird: and such fathers would have
wondered in later years. trife resent
fully, why their sons went always 20
their mother for comfort and for pdvice
in their problems.
He was wise enough. too, 10 know
that there Is no such thing as a normal
boy that the thing which makes one
boy trihe strange. which sets him apart
a little from the other boys. is the germ
of personality that is most precious.
When his bow drew back a little from
sports and showed an eagerness TO be
alone and 10 read. he, who himself had
been the toughest Of the crowd in the
games Of his own youth, made no effort |
to create his sons boyhood in the image
