MOTHERS OF GIRLS
TOLD OF DANGERS
BY POLICEWOMAN

Washington teens with peril for
young Eirls-and their mothers are
very largely to blame.
This is the belief of Mrs. Sarah v.
Farling, washington's first and only
poIicewoman, after q searching irves-
tigation of dance halls, movies" and
various resorts, lasting more than a
year, and detailed now, for the first
time, for The Times.
According to Mrs. Farling, major
ity of the girls who yield to the lure
o. the night" are not more than four
teen years old-fifteen at best. And
while she blames their mothers, to q
large extent, she does not, for one
moment, think their crime (for such
she characterizes it, is Intentional.
She attributes it, rather, to overconfi
dence and a sublimated indifference.
Victims Are Of ~Better Glass;"
Mrs. Farling's experiences have not
been with the so-called lower strata
On the contrary, she says her work
has been, generally with girls who
are members Of what is generally
termed "the better class" A majority
of the girls are the daughters OF pros
porous merchants, or Governmental
employees.
Mrs. Farling Is the woman who.
personally, has taken girls as young
as twelve years OF age out of the
dance halls and OF the streets after
10 o'clock at night.
She has escorted them to their
homes or taken them to Police Head
quarters and notified their parents to
come after them.

Idaho Press Notes
CUT POLITICS HERE

While the Spokane Chronicle is no
an Idaho newspaper what it says
about keeping politics out of the
farm loan bank is of vital interest,"
here. 1t says:
The success of the federal farm
loan bank to be opened in Spokane
will depend in part on the extent to
which party lines are forgotten in its
organization.
The appointment of officers was dis
tinctiy a party affair, the Democrats
This was not entirely unexpected. 1t
came as no surprise or disappointment.
1t viii be a disappointment to the host
of friends of the new bank, however,
if party lines are carried the rest of
the way through the organization from
president to window washer.
Continuation of party choices and
the disregard of fitness of applicants
can easily put the bank in the posi-
ton occupied by the average United
States p~ostoffice prior to the intro
ductjon of the civil service.
it will be unfortunate if the officers
fail to recognize this opportunity to
place the bank on a high level
of public esteem by adhering closely
to a nOn-partizan policy

van of Massachusetts in which he made a strong plea
for a "Rice Day" for all America.
Mr.. Gallivan makes the assertion that there is as
much food value in one pound of rice as in six pounds
of potatoes, and at the present market quotations a
pounds of rice costs but little more than a pound of
potatoes.
Following up his argument Mr.. Gallivan repeats
that one pound of good rice at eight cents a pound is
worth as much on the table of the consumer as 48
cents worth of potatoes on the day the speech was de-
livered, March 8.
By catching just such points as this, ordinary folks
can do more to solve the problem of the high cost of
living and do it in quicker time than all the congresses
and commissions could do in a hundred years.

TIMES THAT TRY MEMS SOULS

No reasonable man will envy President Wilson his
position in these fearful times. He is referred to by
Vice President Marshall as "the sad-eyed man in the
White House."
No other president since Abraham Lincoln has
been borne down under such tremendous responsibilities
And whatever else may be said for or against the
policy pursued by President Wilson, all will agree
that he has ben wonderfully patient and forbearing. He
is entitled to the earnest support of every citizen in
the crisis now upon the nation.
And in this connection it is inspiring to note how
the American people have held themselves in control
when all the world about them was in commissions.
Their restraint is an assurance that if they are called
upon to fight it will go hard with them who oppose them.
1t is this backing of the people of the whole nation
that has given the president his strength.

EAT RICE AND BE RICH

DR.. II. j. Smith of Moscow is as a voice in the
Wilderness crying out for the greater use of rice as an
article of food. He makes such a telling argument that
1t is impossible to resist his logic.
Only unreasonable prejudice against the Chinese
and Japanese prevents the extensive use of this i'm
Dortant article of food.
But DR.. Smith is not alone in his advocacy of the
greater use of rice. Running through the Congress

Fold Sorrows children, soothe the hurts of fate,
Lift the downtrodden, but with the hand of steel
Stay those who to thy sacred portals come
To waste the gifts of freedom. Have a care
Lest from thy brow the clustered stars be torn
And trampled in the dustt. For so of old
The thronging Goth and Vandal trampled Rome,
And where the temples of the Caesars stood
The lean wolf unmolsted made her lair"

company fund is being drawn upon.
Other towns are generously providing

fund is provided for Company G. In
all probability the boys will see active
service in a foreign land before many
months. ..-.... ..-
Before the boys leave for the con-

A Needed Lesson.

Despite the stringent provision of
the law with reference to encroaching
on public highways by the owners Of
abutting property there are those who
will persist in so doing, and as gen
eral rule town boards are loath to take
steps to protect the interests of the
public. The supervisors of the town
of Wyanett, Isanti county, however,
are determined that the law against
trespassing on the roads of that town
shall be enforced, and some time ago
they gave notice to that effect through
the columns of the Union and by pos
ters. About ten days ago one Hans
Backman of that town was arrested
on the charge of blowing up a public
road. He plead guilty to the charge,
paid the costs of the action, and agreed
to put the road in as good condition
as it was before he despoiled it. What
a pity that there are not more boards
of supervisors like those of the town
of Wyanett.

Attention, Drafted Men!

-. ,
Life is becoming a burden for the
members of the county exemption
board. Not day passes but a num-
Der of men call upon Mr.. Doane and
Sheriff Shockley to ask sundry ques-
tions, and most of them claim exemp-
lions on one ground or another-some
for imperfect physical construction,
others that they connot be spared from
the farm, and still others who have a
grandmother or some other relative
dependent upon them for subsistence.
Notices have been mailed to drafted
men informing them when they must
appear for examination at the court
house, and if they follow these in
structions they cannot go amiss.
It is well to state here that those
who claim exemption under either the
dependent" or agricultural" clauses
will have to submit their reasons fol-
such claims to the district board for
decision-they cannot be exempted by
the county board. The county board
will, however, decide in cases Of physi.
cal defect. Blanks for exemption
claims before the district board will be
furnished by Mr.. Doane.
All who are notified must, however
appear before the county exemption
board.
