The EXilC'S Rcyery.

 (From Songs of the Off-Trail") When I come homo again When I come back to scenes from
 boyhood's days, When I have seen old faces there, and

 I've jOurneyed down the well re-
 membered ways The pathway to the river and the lane Which twisted out beneath the
 waving trees, And echoed with the mockingbirds s
 refrain,
 The thrush's call-the hum of drift

 by? I wonder if the paths I knew of old Will wind beneath as deep and
 blue a sky As I once loved before l went away? Or if the songs of birds will seem
 as sweet, The catbird's call-the bluebird's
 roundelay- As when I wandered down the old home beat? And when the purple shadows droop
 and fall Just as the moon has crossed the
 twilight hill, Out by the gate where roses climb the I wonder if I'll find YOU waiting
 still, Remem embering me the weary seasons
 through With eyes agloW just as you waited
 then? I wonder if the joy will be yours, too, When I come home again? "I was 100 per cent. judge" says MT. Hughes. And yet Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker are neither 400 per cent. batsmen. II there were exact percentages figured for every mans achievement, quite a few who believe they stand

The delegates are to vote for "some
such man as Charles E. Hughes"
Will this be REPRESENTATION in
Chicago of the rank and file of the Re-
publican party in Michigan?
Will this be representation in Chicago
of the workingman or the farmer in the
Republican party in Michigan?
Yes it will; exactly the same kind of
representation that they were given in
Bay City and later in Chicago, in 1912.
If there was any idea on the part of
the state leaders affiliated with the Old
Guard to give the Republican party in
Michigan anything like representation in
Chicago, entirely different instructions
would have been issued by the Grand
Rapids convention.
The delegates did not have to be in
structed to vote from first to last for
Henry Ford, because he is in no sense
a candidate, according to the best in
formation of the leaders. but instead of
"some such man as Charles E. Hughes"
they could have been instructed to vote,
as the sense of the Republican party in
Michigan, for "some such man as Henry
Ford"
That would have amounted to repre-
sentation.
That would have amounted to the rep
resentation Michigan Republicans are

Says DR.. c. w. Saleeby. In his
helpful treatise on Worry. the Dis
ease OF Age"
There is such a thing, unques-
uonably. as normal worry In the
case Of child"
This is something / wish all par.
ents would keep In mind. Worry
is abnormal in children II only be-
cause 1t interreres with their proper
mental and physical development.
1t handicaps the child from the
outset OF his life. Often II means
the establishing OF habits OF thought
and conduct that cause nervous
wreckage soon or late.
Always II has the effect of les
sening in some degree the child's
ability to At himself for the prob
lens OF adult life.
Yet many parents give no thought
to the possibly disastrous conse-
quences of worry in their children.
Many. alas, act toward their chill
dren in such way as to make IL
certain they will worry.
Every parent who governs his
child through fear breeds worry in
his child. So does the parent who

allowing herself TO be needlessly
tormented by fears as to his safety
in. for example, going to and COM
ing back from school. she Is al
most sure to infect her child with
her own foolish, morbid anxiety.
Some parents also set children
worrying by show OF favoritism
in the family life. A sensitive child.
neglected for some more favored
brother or sister, will become either
intensely jealous or intensely de-
pressed.
The child may become both jeal-
Gus and depressed. In which case
the outlook for his future success
and happiness Is dark indeed.
Another frequently overlooked
cause OF worry in children is en-
phasis on terrifying elements in re-
ligious teaching.
All children need religious teach
ing. But when the parent or the
Sunday school teacher says too
much about such things as hell. the
devil, and the punishment Of sin,
much harm may be done.
