MIND THE WHISTLE.
If Out After Midnight, an Officer May
 Signal You to Halt.
SEZz $ 6iZE

If you happen to be out after mid night hereafter and hear the shrill rattle of whistle, that's your order to stop and await an inspection by the police officer who has fixed his eagle eye upon you. And 1t doesn't matter whether you're afoot or on horseback, riding in carriage or kit ing around in Fierce-Arrow, the whistle means that you must haul to without warning.
 This leads up to the fact that Cap tain Joseph Ryan issued orders to his men Thursday that persons out after midnight must be accosted by the of- ficers, who will make inquiry as to reasons why such persons are out in the dead hours of the night
 Burglaries and other happenings have made 1t seem advisable for the police to know why persons are out after the midnight hour. In any event the new order can do no harm to any, one and may result in a whole lot of good.
 There is nothing of the curfew law about the new order. It isn't regu- lative in any degree. A man may be in the interest of the safety Of the city and its property, have right to know something about his meanderings about town after midnight, and so the order is issued. It Is not intend ed to inconvenience or to unneces- sarily pry into his business.
 Whistles were issued to the officers Thursday and the order is now in force.

HOME CREDITS PLAN
Being Tried in Nearby Schools With
 Goods Results.

Special interest is developing =here in a plan that has been successfully adopted in the town of Plymouth, Mass, and followed in the towns of Thompson and Woodstock by Super visor F. W. Barber of giving credits to school children for duties performed at their homes.
 chores done in helping father and mother about the outside or house hold duties. For instance, a child may gain credits on his school records for helping father split kindlings, for as- sisting in shovelling paths. milking the COWS, or other work about the farm, if the child happens to live on te farm, but there are scores of lit tie duties about urban homes for which credits may be gained under the domestic service plan.
 Girls gain credits for helping mother wash the dishes, for close attention to faithfully practicing teir lessons. The credits are given them by their school authorities on the word of their par ents as to duties well and cheerfully done.
 It has been found that this system of giving credits for assisting in do- mestic tasks stimulates many child ren to additional effort, much to the benefit of the child and others con- cerned.
 Applied in a limited degree in the neighboring towns, it has proved suc- cessful, and is attracting attention of persons interested in schools here.
