With Juvenile ToilerS Freed
From Factory Labor, Child
Labor Committee Turns to
New Field.
BY FLORENCE E. YODER.

Child labor laws are to be standard
ICED, in a children's charter.
For years at the conferences Of
the National Child Labor Committee.
we have reiigiously kept to the fields
OF child labor but In this convention.
which promises by far to be the most
significant and Illuminating which
has been held, we have made plans
for tho discussion OF child welfare
which will include a Standardization
Of laws and regulations for the VOL
fare Of minors. We will discuss a
children's charter"
Thus did Miss Julia Lathrop. head
Of tho Federal Childrcns Bureau sta
toned IN this city. sum up the pur:.
convention on child labor, which
opens today at the Willard.
Her statement gives tho inference
that since tho welfare Of the unem-
sideration BY this convention there is
little more to do in the f,eld Of child
under ago.
Gaps Remain in Laws.
But this Is true only in part. for.
although there have been wonderful
strides made. which speak marveis
for the nation as a whole. as Miss
1.athrop said later, I'VE do not as yet
feel complacent over child labor. There
are still parts of the country where
vast gaps exist between tne best pro-
visions for the child and the worst"
With the first question. What is
the meaning and purpose Of the pres
e1t convention on child labor" Miss
Lathrop began to speak ana 1t was not

woman. with the wonderful brown
Dyes, ceased to talk. Unassuming and
almost insignificant. until ono begins

MlddletOn,s Mule Sale

1t was with keen and appreciated
pleasure that 1 saw Is pairs of
young mules sell at Ben Midleton's
barn, in East Mexico, Saturday af-
ternoon. The eighteen pairs brought
$3.50, of which the top price was
$515 for pair of 2-year-old mules
that sold to Wasel Bros, of Aux
vase, who will manage their faith
er's farm this year
The cheapest pair that sold brought
$685..
With the present price of mules
and conditions of Audrain County,
the price these young ones brought
last Saturday is significant of their
class. Prominent stockmen present
proclaimed them to be the greatest
bunch of mules that were ever dis
tributed in Audrain County. They
were not just the making of good
teams alone, but many pairs among
them were show mules. When they
are matured, the value of mules in
Audrain County will be upon a much
higher plane.> The older mules that
were sold afterward brought prices
in keeping with their class. Taking
this sale with the recent sales Of
Judge Alex Carter & Son and that of
J. T. Johnson last week, it is a very
pleasing fact to note that the mule
market is coming into it's own and
will soon be where it was the fall Of
1913.
Among the out--of town men pres
ent were ]. P. Moore, Lewisburg;
Tenn; Homer Shepherd, Bowling
Green; R. R. Buckner & Sons, Gala
way; Judge Beagles, DR.. Cornett, Alb
Romans, Charles Maxwell, East Au-
drain; Harry, Robert and Pete
Blown, Champ; Charlie Hoffman,
Concord; Wencil Wasel, Jack Har-
rison and Robert Biggs, Auxvasse;
Dr. sappington, Centralia; James
Jones, HallsVille.
Besides these men, the old regu-
lars that always help make Mexico
sales a success in Audrain County
were present. They were the most
prominent farmer-stockmen in Aud
drain County and one and all. turned
