children assemble to their meals, note
their unusually good behavior, each
patiently standing behind chair
awaiting the signal to be seated, is
all rare treat; for real love, affec-
ton and obedience, the like of which
is seldom witnessed in the ordinary
home, is there plainly manifested.
And yet this most unusual condi-
ton has been brought about wholly
through proper management, love and
affection, there being absolutely no
appearance of corporeal punishment.
Except for the large number of lit
tie ones, it is very similar to any
we'll kept home, and there is abso-
lutely no institutional marks appar-
ent about the children, who act just
as we'll trained children should act
like little humans" If there is one
thing above another of which Super
intendent and Mrs. Sutherland are
especially proud it is the blotting out
of the idea that theirs is an institu-
ion. 1t is in truth home at present
for twenty-five little ones, varying in
ages from one to fourteen years, not
one of whom could be identified among
other we'll cared for children.
The number of children in the home
is being rapidly increased from week
to week, which is abundant proof of
the fact that there is a real need here
for just such home, just where it is.
The one thing that has held back the
multiplying of children in this home
is the same that has held back the
work of preparedness-scarcity of
money. Of course this home is COM

LAST OF THE OLD GUARD

President C. w. Keletsch of the
Burlington baseball club of the Cen
trail association, surrendered the Bur
lington franchise to President M. e,
Justice OF the C. A. over the telephone
this afternoon.
The Burlington Club is broke and
cannot complete the rest of the sea-
son. Poor attendance has been large
ly responsible for the financial cond1-
ton of the club
President Justice will 60 to Water
loo, where the Burlington team IS now
playing, tonight, and will take charge
of the club. He announces that the
Central Association will carry the
team until home Is found for 1t.
Burlington is the last OF the orig
inal eight clubs forming the Central
association, to drop out. With pen
nant winning team two years ago the
Pathfinders have been feeling more
and more the financial pinch and had
to throw up the sponge today.
Some other city will be voted IN
shortly. Although there are no ap-
plications on hand for membership
at the present time, it is expected
! that there will be no difficulty in fill
ing the vacant berth.

Railroad WAGES.

New York Commercial: What How
ard Elliott said about the railroad
wage dispute when speaking in New
Haven nearly three months ago, ap-
pears prophetic now that the confer
ence in New York broke up without
any agreem ent. The train crew unions
are trying to secure an increase of at
least twenty-five per cent. in their
pay without confessing that such Is
their object. They pretend that they
are fighting for the eight-hour day,
but what they are really trying to get
is overtime at the rate of time and
one-half for two hours Of ten-hour
day.
Mr.. Elliott caustically remarks, this
movement by these men-three hun
dred or more thousand of them-is a
form of cooperation on the part of
those classes of employees. but it is
without sufficient regard to all other
employees or to the rights of the
owners, the 100000 owners, or the
rights of the 100,0O0,000 Of the pub
lie. These men seem to have for

son will soon be upon us again. In
the rush Of war news, Mexican com
plications, national conventions and
state politics we had almost lost sight
of this important annual event in
Iowa.
Soon the farmers will be sending
out a call for men to work in the
fields. The hegira from city to coun,
try will begin and many who would
become farmers in day will awake
to the sad realization that they are
not fitted for the task.
A few of the farmer boys will not
be present when the harvest begins
They will be either in camp, drilling
to become efficient soldiers or they
will be on the Mexican border, help
ing to protect their country. Thef1
number will be small, however, in
comparison with the population of the
state. 1t will take more than wal
with Mexico to disturb the prosperity
Of Iowa. Crops have never rotted in
the fields for lack Of help to gather
them. This is the greatest agricul'
tural state in the union, but we have
the labor evenly distributed.
When one looks at the growing
fields in Iowa and then compares
them with the desolate wastes, the
idle mines and the miserable people
of Mexico; the starving millions and
war SCARED lands of Europe; the
unequalness of it all is brought home
with full force. What glorious har
vest it would be If by our efforts we
could restore order out of chaos In
Mexico, light the path 10 peace In
Europe and establish lasting good
will on earth between all nations.

Twenty boys are up at Camp Brug

ing the times of their young lives
swimming, rowing and scouting are
proving very popular diversions.
In the evenings the boys gather
around the campfire. Thrilling
stories of daring deeds in various
wars, and of the early days of the
frontier, are told by one another
About 9 o'clock the boys turn into
their beds.
Early rising is practiced. The boys
are astir with the birds. There is
much competition as to who car
reach the water first, nearly all Of
the boys taking a cold plunge before
breakfast.
The everyday life Of the camp pos
sesses strong appeal to the hearts
of the boys. Preparing their OWL
meals Is great fun. Washing dishes
is not SO much enjoyed, but Is re
garded as necessity that must be
endured. The youngsters use as few
dishes as possible to obviate their
difficulties along this line.
Long hikes are taken occasionally
into the nearby country. Woodcraft
and scouting are taught. The boys
learn this knowledge readily and 1t
may prove useful to them in the fu.
ture, as we'll as being a source Of en-.
joyment now.

gage and trek back to Keokuk in the
afternoon. The end OF the camp is
