No. 37A Sensible Parent

Lie capacity TO endure
and the ability to do with
out will forever remain the
essential conditions of ac-
Movement. REV. Father
John A. Ryan.
How to teach children the
value of money and it's proper
Isl is one OF the difficult but
important tasks of the parent.
One father in a western CITY
has worked out his problem in
a satisfactory manner as it re-
lates to his 11-year-old son. He
tells of the plan in this way.
Our home is in the suburbs
where we can have a good-siz-
ed garden. This summer |
made an arrangement whereby
he vas to have half of all the
money received from the sale
of whatever vegetables we
raised beyond the needs of our
own family.
AT first | hesitated about
turning the boy loose upon the
neighbors to solicit their orders
but when they began to tele-
phone to us of their own &C
cord for fresh peas, beans. ETC.,
| made up my mind that we
were really doing the people a
favor in supplying them with
fresh vegetables at a modern
price.
From peas alone, we took
in about $16 in this way. George
got So of that. And there is a
further understanding between
us that he must save half he
earns. The boy sticks faith
fully to the plan, keeping his
money in a little metal bank
until there is enough to take
to the savings bank.
He can do what he likes
with the other half of his share
of the money. Il am glad to
say that he uses it for sensible
purposes. He saved enough in
this way to buy a bicycle, which
in turn he uses to extend the
scope of his operations as agent
for the Saturday Evening Post
and Ladies Home Journal.
1T is more difficult PROPOSE
ton for a little girl to earn
money. But 1 give my daugh-
ter an allowance and she must
save half of that. She also can
do anything she wants with
the other half. But, like her
brother, she usually saves it
for a purpose. She has just
bought a little kodak with the
accumulations of 8 v f r a |
months, and any expense that
will arise in the way of buying
films, paying for the develop
ing, printing, mounting, etc.,
of the photographs will like
wise come out of that half of
her allowance.
Lie result Vi I1llS 10 ll1dI lily
children are learning to know
the value of money and it's
earning power when properly
used.'
Another parent who heard
this story agreed that it was a
good plan, but thought that
care should be taken not to let
the children get too mercenary,
that it would be a mistake to
let them think that they must
be paid for every service they
render. And this is right.
Learning business principles is
not incompatible with the de-
velopment of a kindly and
helpful spirit. and the child
should be made te realize it.

the honey and wax is secondary.
The pollination or fertilization of
plants is brought about in two ways;
first, by the wind; second, by insects.
Plants whose flowers are small and
inconspicuous, as the willows, pines,
oaks and birches, have very light and
dry pollen, which III favorable wealth

or fog. Most Of the flowers, however,
are not Of the wind bearing type
and require some other agents than
the wind to carry the pollen. and these
agents are the insects. Insects go

For the Small Producer, Portable
Hog Houses Are Convenient and
E.conOmical-I4arge Central Houses
Are an Advantage When the Herd
Numbers More Than a Dozen Sows.

The proper housing Of swine is best
by using q central hog
house with a number of colony pens.
The large central house is we'll suited
for winter shelter and spring farrow-
ing. The portable houses are espe-
ciaily useful for housing different
classes and sizes of hogs in separate
feuds. particularly during summer or
after farrowing.
Portable hog houses have been used
satisfactorily for a good many years.
They are quite generally in use by
breeders of pure bred swine where
they often find it more satisfactory to
quarter but few animals together
The farmer who produces swine for
the market and depends on a large
central hog house will also find a few
portable pens very useful in separate
ly housing odd lots of swine
Some farmers prefer a shed root
hog house to the A-shaped cot. Six
feet four inches wide and eight fee,
long makes a good size house. In the
rear it is provided with a door tw,

WOMAN ELECTED TO
RICHLAND COUNCIL
Mrs. C. D. Hopper is Chosen for
One Year Term at Annual
Election Tuesday

The Richland town election is over

council is entirely changed with the
has been an alderman for Richland
for several terms in succession and has
always oved himself worthy of the
confidence placed in him by his fell
low townsmen. The Citizens ticket
was the only one in the field and
there was no doubt as to the result
save that ]. M. Serr and A. Hudson
were both in the running for council
man for the one-year term and the re-
suit of the election shows Mr.. Hudson
to have the greater number of votes.
Sgd Relton and Albert Weidle ran un-
opposed to a glorious finish and as
both these candidates are young men
it will give the older people of the
town a chance to see what the boys
are made of.
But the biggest event of the cleo
ton was the fact that Mrs. C. d.
Hopper carried all before her in her
running for councilman for the one
year term. This is the first time in
the history of Richland that woman
has ever been elected to the city coun-
Gil and if the women of Richland had
looked the country over they could
not have found one more worthy of
this honor than Mrs. Hopper. She is
a woman of exceptional attainment,
talented and highly educated and has
always been an earnest worker in any
movement toward civic betterment.
There is no doubt in anyone's mind
that she will be credit not only to
the women of the district during her
term of Office but to the entire COM
munity.

treasurer for several terms, was

STRAWBERRY MEETING AT
RICHLAND NEXT SATURDAY
Sickles Will Outline Attitude of the
Fruit Growers Association
Toward New Organization

The big mass meeting of the
members of the Yakima Fruit
Growers Association and the in
dependent strawberry growers
of the Richland district will be
held in the high school building
on Saturday, December 18th.
At this meeting Frank E. Sickles
secretary of the Yakima Valley
Fruit Growers association has
signified his intention of being
present and will give in detail
the position which the associa-
ton will take in regard to a To-
CT! organization of the strawber-
ry growers. There will be q
session in the morning, followed
by a basket luncheon at noon
and the balance of the afternoon
will be devoted to discussion so
that each man in the district will
have an opportunity to give his
own ideas on the subject of a CO.
operative union among the local
growers. Every man interested
IN strawberry culture is earnest
~ invited to be present as it is
only by combined effort that
such a union can become effec-
tive. Come prepared to state
your own views in a few concise
sentences so that the opinion of
the entire body can be under
stood.
