Cnltivating Honesty In Children.

&iItiNaithg ftontSty H NIiituTcIl.
The cultivation OF honesty is prob
ably the most trying problem with
which many parents and teachers have
to deal
from the earliest years a child should
hear his parents and every one around
fhim talk about honesty In the minutest
details OF daily life.
The chief cause of petty thievery
among children in modern life Is the
craving for excitement induced largely
blythe movies. but also by excitements
found in the Coney Island type of
amusement. These are SO seductive
that they tend to upset child's char
acter They pull on him so hard that
he cannot resist, and he will go to any
length to get the money with which
to crafty the abnormal craving for
this excitement. The best way to solve
this problem is to have free moving
pictures provided in the schools as So
cial and community centers. In COM
munities where there are free moving
pictures In the public schools, the lure
of the nickelodeon and the white
City has declined In communities
III which there are public Fairgrounds
and swimming pools open after school
hours until $3.50 at night. the movies
do not have such a terrific grip on the
children. The excitement gained in
swimming pool is more wholesome and
better for the building of character
than that which is gained In the
White City" or In the nickel theater..
Closely associated with thievery 10.
the love adventure, the craving for
unusual things for.daring experiences.
The parent and teacher should crafty
these impulses and cravingsin whole
some ways. by providing opportunities
for their indulgence--in having boys
take long hikes. canoe trips. tramping
trips and the like. The Boy Scouts
Iis founded on the right principles In
respect 10 this love Of adventure II It
be indulged in a normal, healthful
way ii Will be corrective for abnor-
NAL and unhealthy cravings and con-

AND IMPORTANT STRATEGIC
GAINS
(By Associated Press.

London, July 5.-Heavy fighting
continues in the somme region, ac-
cording to British and French state
ments. The British claim progress
at important points. The French
took a line of German trenches east
Of Curlu and also took Sormont
farm. They resumed the offensive
during the night and further prog
ress is claimed near the Sormont
farm. The Germans took part Of
Belloy-en-Santerre, but were re-
pulsed. The Germans are still hold
ing part Of the fortress where the
severe fighting continues. The
French took more than 5000 prison
ers so far. Fighting continues in
the verdun region.

call came in Ohio where he was at
the time, the response was great i.
Manufacturers, merchants and all
employers Of help are telling their
men to enlist and their pay goes on
just the same and their positions
will be held for them on their re-
turn. That is the. kind of spirit.
Though you cannot go for business
reasons or give limits, ready to help
those who will go. That is proper.
Those who go, who have families de-
pending on them, should be able to
retain their positions and also re-
ceive a portion of their pay. from
those who can afford it. 1t is hard
for a man with a family to give up
position and answer his country's
call for $500 per month. But
some one has to go. We expect to
be here for some few days yet and
then we go where they chose. to send
us. Well, here's hoping. We are
ready and willing to go wherever
sent.
We will still be here July 4th and
would be glad to have some of the
good Lakeland people come up. We
will hold regimental parade that
day. 1t would be good chance and
probably the last to see the boys in
camp life. Well, TAPS" will soon

everybody to bed except those on

FOR POLK COUNTY PYRAMID

Lakeland, noticed our suggestion
last week in reference to the con-
struction OF appropriate arches on
the Dixie Highway at the county
line and in letter received last week
makes this generous offer which
will doubtless meet with the approv-
al Of every one in the county:
Should this proposition meet with
the approval of the people and this
pyramid be erected, I will gladly
furnish plans and specifications and
all necessary details for the erection
Of this pyramid free Of charge. AS
surfing you of my cooperation OF
this movement In advertising Polk

hear people talk. Now II some one
will furnish the material, and some
one else will donate the labor,

discharge Of a gun, which he was
planning to use. The weapon in
some manner went of, infiicting
fatal wound in his stomach.
Mr.. Garner had secured gun and
was in the act Of arranging it SO
that it could be used as one Of the
noise-making devices. In some man
