Logan Items.

Logan, April 5.-Wintield S.
Stack, aged 81, for many years a
resident of Logan, was seriously
injured here in assisting to un-
load a monument in the Logan
cemetery. The monument was so
heavy that it tipped up the front
part of the box, frightening and
causing the team to jump, which
threw Mr.. Stacy some distance,
breaking and driving the bones
through the flesh between the
knee and ankle. He was taken
to a hospital in the Bluffs.
At the meeting Of the Com
'mercial club here last evening it
was decided to celebrate the
fourth of July in a royal good old
fashioned manner. Committees
will be appointed on speakers,
parade, music, entertainment,
ball and fireworks.
Conditions of the public roads
leading into Logan were also dis
cussed by those present, the opin-
ion prevailing that the roads are

the MOTHERS PART IN
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS
4 Woman Who Devotes Herself
to "8ubduing the Fighting
Spirit" In Her Boy Is Equip
ping Min Poorly TO Meet the
Emergencies Of Life or to Per-
form Mis- Part When Ms coun-
try Needs His Services.
(From the Spokane Spokesman
Review.

Two Spokane women were dis
cussing the war and preparedness
against war. II intend, so far as
possible" said one, ''to subdur
the fighting spirit in my boys. ]
intend that they shall not have
as plaything toy guns, pistols,
swords, drums or soldier figures.
l hate war; l am going to be con-
sistent and teach my boys not to
fight"
That mothers judgment was
chiefly emotional and largely
drawn from an incomplete weigh
ing of The case. Every right
thinking person detests the quar-
relsome, bullying boy, but the
bullying boy exists and will con-
tinue to exist. Evil, injustice,
envy, covetousncss, violence have
always existed and will not take
sudden flight in our day. They
must be met by force if life is to
be worth living for the good peo-
pie in the world.
1t had not occurred to that
mother than she was trying to
make mollycoddlcs and towards
of her boys; trying to bring them
up in line of training tending
TO choke out the noblcst trait of
the normal youth and mantle
chivalrous instinct to defend wo-
man and protect the child, if need
be, with his very life.
Invasion and tho Coward.
Suppose that mother shall sue
coed i'm her lamentablc effort and
rear her boys to a literal accep-
tancc of her doctrine that they
must never fight. Further sup
pose that, walking with their sis
ter along some quiet road they
are startled by the sudden APP
pearance from a roadside thicket
of an evil creature crazed with
lust; that this vile image of man
lays violent hands upon the terri
fled girl, and then these boys, act
ing upon their mothers years Of
constant precept, should leave
their screaming sister to her fate
/ more terrible than death.
| What measure of approval
think you that mothers assO-
ciates and friends and the COM
munity in which she dwells would
give her peace at-any-price doc
trines then? Through all her
after years she would be agonized
by the thought she never could
drive away, that in her false zeal
she had wrecked her children's
lives and her own life as we'll.
This is not a fantastic illus
tration. All history tells that on
the wide trail of an invading army
no woman can be wholly safe.
Though it is true that only an
occasional civilized and discip-
lined soldier will be guilty of
crimes of violence and rapine,
desperate and criminal men al
ways come in on the wake of a
moving army. Often they are OF
the nationality of the invaded
land. drawn into the vortex OF
war by the opportunities for pill
llagc. violence and theft.

LETTER CARRIER PENSIONS
AND HIGHER PAY DESIRED
Officers of National Association In
structed to Work Before Con-
gressional Committees.

Efforts are to be made at the coming
session of Congress to obtain "A pension
rystem for the letter carriers of the
country and an increase in their sala-
ries in order to meet the high cost of
living Instructions were given by the
council of administration of the Ma
tional Association of Letter Carriers,
which has been in session here for the
past week. to its officers here to work
before the committees for these mat
ters The council adjourned it's ses-
sons last night.
The council recommended a readjust-
ment of the salaries of the letter car
riers with 800 as a maximum. How :
ever they recommend that the in
creases should come at the rate of 500
a year until the maximum is reached
The maximum salary of letter carrier
now is 81 200. If the plan should pass
it would mean that the carriers now
receiving $1,000 would in three years
receive $1,000.
The association is for the straight
retirement plan. and is pushing the bill
now on the House calendar providing
for an indefinite leave of absence for
postal employees. The bill provides for
employees on indefinite leaves of alb
sence to receive a fiat salary $500 a
year, regardless of their pay while on
the active list.

meets the need of physical development
by encouraging and directing the nat
ural tendency to play: and. as we con-
trast the happy, healthy, playing chill
enid marriage and child labor and
other evil practices deprive children of
this God-given means of physical de-
velopment, we realize that this too, is
a vital need of childhood oeing sup
piled by missions
met by the Christian missions by pro-
viding schools. 1t is hard for US to
realize that among SO many peoples to-
day there is no such thing as a school,
and we can scarcely understand how
any mental development is attained or
any knowledge acquired in a land
where the school is an unknown in
stitution- SO. considering such condi-
ton of childhood, we readily recog-
nize that this imperative need of child
hood is being met in the natural and
logical way by Christian missions.
The need of spiritual consciousness
and development-the supreme need
not only of childhood, but of manhood
and womanhood as wells supplied by
Christian missions by teaching the
worship of the God of Love-a worship
consisting not of physical sufferings or
mechanically repeated formulas, but
rather Of soul-communion with God.
and conscious service of Him in every
thought, word and deed
What are missions doing for child
hood? Look at the condition of the
ordinary girl child born in China or in
India half a century ago and then
look at such women as Dr. Mary stone
and the other Chinese and Indian wom-
en- who are the products of missionary
efforts in behalf of childhood, and you
will find an answer worth thinking
about.

A comparison of the conditions Of
childhood among the most ignorant ana
savage peoples in the world with those
in the most highly developed civiliZa-
ton will show at a glance what mis-
sions do for childhood. for the mission
airy work done by Christians is the
most active and powerful agency en-
gagged in Transforming the conditions
of childhood from the worst to the
best.
The Scripture references given con-
trast the conditions of childhood in the
heather nations and in Israel when the
Israelites were led astray into the
idol-worship of their heather neigh
bors with Christs attitude toward
children. 1t was the custom of those
lre-worshipers and Other heather
tribes to sacrifice the first born son to
their god-that is. he was actually put
into a fire and burned alive-an act so
cruel and inhuman that our minds can
scarcely conceive it. much less under
stand how parent could do this to his
own child. and his oldest child. at that!
1t is in such sharp contrast with the
picture drawn by st. Mark showing the
Master taking the children in his low
ing arms and saying, suffer the little
children to come unto Me, and forbid
them not: for of such is the kingdom
of heaven.
1t is worthy of notice that this topic
is stated in the present tense This is
not a history of past pishments,
nor vet a forecast of future success s,
but a consideration of what missions
are doing for childhood right now
This consideration is greatly facilitat-
ed by the fact that the whole world
is practically at our doors today, be-
cause of the newspaper and other news
and intelligence dissseminators. and we
car see quite accurately the conditions
i of childhood in all the various parts of
the world The first survey reveals at
once to the thoughtful mind the fact
that the stages of development in child
welfare correspond exactly to the de-
erees of development in Christian civil
lization.
Christian missions are doing some
thing for childhood: they are supplying
it's needs and thereby transforming it
from the lowest to the highest condi-
ton What are these needs of child
hood, that are being met by Christian
mi ssons?
First. there is the home: home is one
of the gifts of Christ to civilization,
and as we contrast, in our minds, the
family life of the barbarous peoples
and their treatment of their children
with the Christian home where love
ga Oh member of the family to the other
members makes all happy. we realize
that the home is a vital need, and that
Christianity is giving the home to the
peoples of the earth through the mis-
sionary agencies.
love which only a Christian home can
give childhood needs the opportunity
for observation-disclosures mental and
spiritual development Christianity

NEW YORK STORES TRYING

Prices Have Advanced 800 to 400

NEW YORK. December 1.-THE high
