almost invariably develop into machine
like men and women, without initiative
or originality Of their own.
They have shown not only how cruel
a thing 1t is to break the tie between
mother and Child. and sisters and broth
ers. but also how dangerous II is TO do
SO, for there Is no other one fact in
human development so potent as family
affection and the sense of responsibility
that this brings with IT. Nothing so
makes for recklessness of conduct in
either a boy or a girl as the feeling that
he or she has nobody belonging to him
or her.
And, conversely the knowledge that
he has his widowed mother to support
has been the spur in the side of many a
boy that has sent him along the road of
fame and fortune. Even so great a man
as Sir James Barrie says that the thing
that gave him courage to persist at the
writing" was his desire that his mother
might lie soft at night and sit warm by
the fire in the day.
Finally the advocates of the widowed
mothers pension bill have shown that
Tor the same amount of money that the
state spends to keep a child in an orphan
asylum he can be boarded with his
mother and the little home kept together.
1t is right that the children should be
considered first in this matter, and their
good determine it, but there is also an
other side to the question. That is the
mothers. Tho mothers need the children
just as much as the children need the
mothers.
The mothers who have children Of an
age to be sent TO an orphan asylum are
themselves young women. Many of them
are not overwise, and in spite Of having
been married and had children, have lit
tie real knowledge OF the world. Most of
them have had few advantages OF educa-
tton, and have few resources within
themselves.

by far the largest or most massive. The
eucalyptus trees of Australia exceed II

There is a feature of the exhibit in the

These women are primitive creatures
with primitive instincts. They must have
something to love, something to think
about, something to work for Give them
the normal life of a woman with hus-
band and children TO fill their days with
interest. and they are good women. Take
away from them all that they care for,
and you have snapped the anchor chain
that held them safe and steady in the
surge OF temptations that beats about
every good looking young woman who Is
alone in the world.
The death Of a day laborer. and the
breaking up of a two-room home 10 a
far more poignant tragedy than the pass
ing away of a millionaire, whose family
have only their personal loss to mourn.
Their home remains intact The be-
reaved widow does not have to have her
heart torn in twain a second time by
losing her children as well as her hus-
band,
But this is the all too common bitter
fate OF the poor woman when the bread
winner of her household dies She cannot
make by her own labor enough TO feed
the hungry mouths of her brood, and so
her little ones are taken from her and
sent to orphan asylums. Who can blame
the woman thus cruelty used by destiny
II she tries TO drown the memory of
happier days in drink or she dulls the
aching longing for her loved ones by
dope, or II. when there seems no right
way to happiness. she attempts to find
IT in the wrong way?
We hear much of mothers enobling
and, restraining influence over her
children. 1t is not little of what a
weakest baby hands that ever fumbled
at woman's breast naye more power
for uplift in them than all the preach
ing and moral platitudes that were ever
uttered The eyes that woman must be
able to meet fearlessly are her children
eyes. And from the highest to the low
est. the thought of her children has been
magic talsman that has given millions
of women the strength to resist tempta-
ton
Only the most abandoned of women
will let evil come near her children or
permit them to see her do a wrong act,
and in this way the child becomes the
guardian and protector of the mother
With her little home kept together.
with her children to work for. to be in
terested in, to expend her affections
upon, there is small chance OF the
! widowed mother not living an exemplary
life. Robbed by the death of her hus-
band, and by poverty OF home and chill
dren, who can tell to what length despair
may drive her, or which of us will dare
to cast the first stone if her sin has beer
partly caused by our stupid laws?
For the sake of the woman, as well
as the child, let us pass the widowed
Mothers pension bill and not be guilty
OF separating a mother and her babes,
and breaking up home that might have
been kept together.

as philosophy teaching by example.
To prevent further advance in the cost
OF bread and the rising prices OF all
farm products which will mean suffering
for many and a great danger to our free

cannot possibly lower the price Of farm

and prevent further advanoe-this is the

more extensive and intensive farming

There are three reasons for the smaller
wheat production I'm the United States:
First-Scientlflc farming Is a compar-
atlvely new thing In this country. Agri-
cultural colleges have been al work but a
few years
Second-The government itself has not
done anything like as much as Germany
or France TO inform the farmers how TO
get the biggest crops out OF the soil
Third-The very bad banking system

The sequola is intimately related TO tho

sometimes rivals its gigantic relative in
height II not in bulk. They are both
sequoias, in tact, simply differing In
species. They, too constitute the whole
genus, which takes its name from the
celebrated Indian chief. Sequoyah. who
invented the Cherokee alphabet. The red
woods possess great reproductive powers
and grow abundantly anywhere along the
coast where the sea fogs can penetrate.
but the giant sequoias are relatively fee
BILE in reproductive powers. and can be
found only in few groves.
