 F. K. Warren of Michigan who owns the Ajitos ranch on which Spencer and his wife were employed at once gave orders to his business repre- st natives to pay the ransom and take the lady out of her unpleasant predic- ament.
 In accordance with these instruc- ticns Warren's representatives this morning crossed the border in an au- tomobile carrying with them four T ousand dollars in gold coin to be paid as ransom
 l. is not expected that there will be any foul play on the part of the bs ndits. From Warren's point of view 1t is good business to pay this money as it will in a measure placate the bandits and save his ranch from ruin.

Plans for the enlargement of Camp
Funston national army cantonment
for the training for the eighty-ninth
division, which will make it the largest
mobilization camp in the United
States were received today by Cap
tain Fred j. Herman, constructing
cuarternaster.
The present plan of the cantonment
calls for an accommodation of ap-
proximately $4,000 men, while the en-
larged camp will provide for 10000
The divisional headquarters will be
increased by the new plans. Special
quarters will be erected for the for
eign officers who are to- come to the
cantonment as instructors, and more
barracks, more officers quarters and
regimental exchanges are to be added
to the camp.
Army officers are of the opinion
that because of the increased accom-
modations 10000 men will be sent to
Camp Funston before the entire num-
ber of the first quota is completed.

MORE JUVENILE
COURTS NEEDED

In recent bulletin the state board
of charities and corrections makes a
plea for more juvenile courts in Mis-
souri,. Every county should have one,
it is argued, even if limited funds
make it impossible to allow maximum
compensation for probation officers.
The entry of the United States into
the war may mean extra reasons for
these courts, for it has happened in
Germany that the amount OF juvenile
delinquency has increased remarkably
since the outbreak Of hostilities.
Whether this is due to the absence OF
SO many heads of families, or helpful
big brothers, or to some other reason,
is uncertain, but the possibility OF an
increased tendency in this direction
in this country is enough to make an
agitation for more juvenile courts
timely.
The purpose of juvenile court,
ideas concerning which are little
hazy to many persons, are well ex-
pressed in this bulletin, as follows:
"rhe first function of the court in
cooperating with other. social activi-
ties is to re-enforce the family and to
help emancipate it from the condi-
tions which cause it to fail. The work
of the court should be to emphasize
the education and developmental
rather than the judicial or correction
al methods.
"The court must not be concerned
exclusively, nor perhaps even primar-
lily, with the facts brought to its at
tention concerning the conduct of in
dividuals, but must look to the cir
cumstances and to the social influenc-
es from which these facts have arisen.
No offending child should be brought
to the court unless he is obviously in
delinquent state. The juvenile court
should be concerned with the state or
condition Of delinquency rather than
an act of offense committed in viola
ton of the law. The important fact
is not that the child has violated the
law, but that he is in need of care,
education and protection at the hands
of the state. The question of the ju-
venile court is, Why is the child bad?
Until this is answered correctly the
court can give the child no more intel
ligent assistance than can physician
who attempts to treat patient with
out adequate knowledge of the pathol-
ogy underlying the ailment. Joplin

The debating society will be revived
soon and the boys will be given a
