HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST
Fiancee Of Illinois Militiaman Had to
Wait Outside the Camp
Grounds.

While the mobilization of n certain
Illinois regiment was under way wom'
en- in the persons of relatives and
friends of the Guardsmen tlOcked to
the camp in such numbers that neces.
sary work was hampered. Thereupon
it is reported, the colonel issued or
ders that only one woman should be
allowed to visit each member of the
regiment.
One of the Guardsmen, not yet
knowing Of the order, approached the
camp in company with his mother, q
sister and his tiancee. The guard
stopped the party and sternly asked
who the women were. When told he
answered:
you can take in only one. It's up
to you to choose"
The young man looked for mo-
mcnt at the three, and then said
mother"
When war is in the air humanity
gets down to fundamentals, and when
this is done mother wNl never get
the worst of it. We do not believe
that the young Guardsman will make
4 worse husband than if he had chosen
his sweetheart. A man who can ap.
preciate his mother may be expected
to take good care of his wife.

Sometime to Reoret.

In a Washington hOtel lobby the 9TH
er night reference was made to the
wonderful thoughts of the little folk,
when this incident was recalled by
Congressman ]. Edward Russell of
Ohio:
One afternoon little Bessie sat in
the kitchen watching her mother
weave a hot iron through the dainty
frills of some white frocks. The day
was warm, and mother looked some
what weary.
Mamma" finally remarked the little
girl in sympathetic voice, isn't it
very hard work to irOn?"
ayes, dear" answered mother, with
soft sigh, sometimes it is very
hard"
For moment the little girl thought
fully communed with herself, ana then
her face became brightly illuminated.
"Gh, mammal" she enthusiastically
exclaimed. ''Wouldn't it have been
great if you had married Chinuman?

BOYS AND GIRLS
Their Misdeeds Seldom Evidence

PLAYING H0oKY WON'T HURT
Parent Who Remembers How Things
Used to Feel Is One Who
Knows How to Manage
His Boy.
BY sIpoNIE M. GRUENsERe.

A II THE club Jones was reading the
"A paper to himself and making COM
ments to all within hearing. Suddenly
he sat up and put down the paper.
'Was that Waite's boy" he asked,
that was mixed up in that affair
down at the lake?" No one seemed to
know. Didn't even know there had
been an affair. In that case Jones had
to read to them. 1t was the story of
boy who had gone over the edge of
pier and was pulled out by another
boy who happened to be passing. The
boy who happened to be passing
was young Bob, and he happened along
ut time when he was supposed to
be in school. That was the point. AL
though no one denied that it was emf
nently proper for him to jump into the
water and save the ragged stranger,
all were agreed that he had no busi-
ness there. He was obviously playing
truant.
"If a boy of mine did that" said
Saffron, I'D let him take all the
medals and fine speeches that were
coming to him, and after the celebra-
ton was all over l would take him
into the woodshed and give him the
worst licking of his young life."
That sounded very heroic and very
reasonable. After all, it's wicked to
play truant. 1t was only lucky
chance that the boy came along in
time to save the other child-perhaps
this one had been Il truant also. The
chances were even that another time,
he'd got run over by fire engine. The
boys place Is in the school, and he
had no business along the lake front.
He needed n lesson that would teach
him his place.
1t made Saffron real angry to think
of son of his committing an outrage
upon law and morals. And the things
he hat in mind to do were-well, they
were just the expressions of his anger.
They were not thought out policies of
applying force where it would do the
most good. They were the instructive
appeals to violence, and had just about
rs much moral value as Bob's own
dereliction.
And Brown, who had not been say
ing anything, could see that. And so
he Joined the conversation. He would
not approve of truancy. He knew it
was bad thing and liable to lead to
worse things. But there's no use get

Suspic'e:r Confirmed.

A worthy vicar in an English rural
parish who preached one Sunday in
the interest of foreign missions was
surprised on entering the village shop
during the week to be greeted with
marked coldness by the old dame who
kept it.
He asked the cause, and the good
woman, producing half-crown from
drawer, and throwing it down be-
fore him, said:
Il marked that coin and put 1t in
the plate last Sunday, and here II is
back in my shop. l knowed well them

2. Unless the ground is disked early
In the spring there is n loss Of moisture
and consequent firing" Of the corn
during the latter part OF July and Au-
gust, especially In dry seasons.
3. The fall plowing does not give us
good an opportunity to spread manure
during the late summer and through
the winter.
The soils department of the Iowa
State college has conducted many ex-
periments with fall and spring plowing
In different parts of Iowa, and in every
case the yield of corn was greater on
the fall plowing than on the spring
plowing.
The mistake Is commonly made of
leaving the fall-plowed ground without
disking until time to plant. The ground
has become packed by snow and rain
and should be disked or narrowed as
soon as the Oat seeding is over. This
will conserve the moisture and lessen
the firing of the corn in August, so
common to fall plowing.
Ground that is very rolling and like
ly to wash should not be plowed in the
fall.
Late Planting Bad.
One of the most serious losses to the
corn crop every year Is due to late
planting. Experiments show that late
planted corn seldom yields rs much as
that planted earlier. and the quality is
inferior. The ground becomes hard
and out of condition, the weeds have

sides its use in the roasted form, there
are other innumerable uses.
The nuts contain from AZ to so per

oil, resembling that of the olive and
used for similar purposes.
More than 25 years ago there was

ting excited over it. Didn't we all do
the same thing when we were young?
Or at least we were all tempted to,
and If we did not yield it was just our
good fortune and not oar superior vir-
tue. Besides, its the sort of thing n
child will do just because he is u
child. When he gets to be as old as
we are he won't be tempted to go down
to the lake. Remember that boys will
be boys. Give him chance to grow
up and he'll be all right.
This did not sound so heroic, but 1T
did seem reasonable. After all, n day
and taking good exercise won't hurt
any boy. He could make up his schoo!
work just as easily as though he had
been absent on account of sickness,
and this was better than sickness.
Thousands of boys play ''hooky" and
then grow up to be decent citizens
some of them even become teachers or
ministers. Let him alone, and he'll
grow up all right.
Young Blank, whose children had
not yet reached the age of truancy,
was interested, but bewildered. He
had expected to lay up supply of
practical wisdom to use in possible
emergencies in the future. But he did
not find the conflicting counsel very
helpful. Evildoers ought to be pun
ished, Of course: otherwise there
would be no premium on doing the
right thing. But II q child does what
we consider "evil' without malice,
should he still be made to suffer-es-
pecially when he is very likely to out
grow the instincts that lead to such
actsf ,.,ii 81
The trouble with Saffron was that
he had not taken the pains to think
ont the right and wrong Of playing
It1uint, not the right and wrong oe

Furnishing children. He was just as
impulsive as the truant himself, with
this difference. Whereas the boy had
an uncomfortable feeling that he was
doing something that was wrong-be-
cause 1t was disapproved-the man had
the assurance that he was in the
right, for in the punishment of chill
dren he was countenanced by genera
tiOns Of parents and most of his con.
temporaries.
The trouble with Brown was that,
whereas he had learned enough to
know that the misdeeds of children
are in most cases the outward express
sions of perfectly healthy instincts,
and not evidences of "wickedness,"
and whereas he knew that most chill
dren will outgrow these misdeeds, he
had no idea that there was anything
to be done about it except to permit
the fates to finish the story.
1t is well for all of us to know
what Brown knew. But that is not
enough. Children will outgrow their
childish impulses. but what will take
their place? One of the ways in
which the grOwn-ups ncquired> that
feeling of Righteousness in the pres
ence of childish misdeedS was through
the impressive Indignation of their
parents on the occasions of their own
childish errors. 1t may be wrong for
Saffron to put so much stress upon
the wickedness of truancy, but it Is
just as wrong to evade the issue and

what Is needed is more clover. bet
Ter use Of barnyard manure and less of
1he continuous cropping with corn, oats
and wheat.
Fall Flowing for Corn.
There Is a difference of opinion re-
earding the merits Of fall and spring
blowing for corn. Among the advan-
iages Of fall plowing are the follow
ing:
l. The work is done at the slackest
.iine Of the year, when both men and
teams would otherwise be idle.
< Having the ground already plowed
IN the spring gives us time to better
prepare the ground, and. what is OF

THE "HERTZL FOREST"

i
"The Herzl Forest (The Tree
FUND.-, is the title Of a pamphlet in
English and Yiddish, published by the
Head Office of the Jewish National
Fund which appears at the twelfth
anniversary Of Theodor Herbs death
go. Tamus). The pamphlet describes
the origin of the "Trce Fund.-" from
whose means the afforestation of Pal
estine has been begun. The planta
tons Of the "Herzl Forest situated
quite near Jaffa, shall serve as a
memorial to the never-to-bc- forgot
ten creator of the Zionist organization,
erected to him by grateful Jews Of
all lands The booklet discusses in
detail the great value Of olive, useful
and ornamental trees, Gas the eucalyp-
tus, etc.,, on the one hand for the
sanitation of the Palestine climate, on
the other for the economic prosperity
of the land. But the plantations of
the "Trce Fund" also serve the i'm
portant purpose Of enabling Jewish
town-dWellers, who have emf grated
to Palestine, to become acquainted
with agricultural occupations.
Thus the work done by the "Tree
Fund.-" managed as branch of the
INF, has become an important factor
in the colonization of Palestine by the
Jews and can become more and more
so in the future if collections for this
object are jealousy prosecuted. There
are opportunities enough offered for
this, G. g. at birthdays, engagements,
weddings and also on melancholy oc-
casions as death and the anniversaries
of beloved ones decease The gift
of tree costs 6 mix, $50 frs, etc.
Lately an ANNIVERSARY Contribu
ton" has been instituted, according
to which the management Of the ''Tree
Fund.- pledges itself to have tree

years Gin the name of the deceased)
on payment of 20 pounds, 100 shil
lngs, francs, 500, ETC., and to have
the fact published in a Jewish paper
on the anniversary of his death. 1t
is expected that the anniversary dona-
ton, which is both suitable and profit
able for Jewish development of Pa1es-
tine, will speedily enjoy great popu-
larity.
