SHORTCOMINGS OF pARenr4ooo

A Texas judge has recently decided
that father has the right to whip
his married daughter after she has
returned TO the protection of the
whipping of seyenteen-yearold girl
would not be necessary had the father
done his full duty in the earlier train
ing of the child. Judge Pinckney of
Chicago finds that a large proportion
iOf the delinquency of children com
ing TO his court is due to the neglect
l0f their parents. And the juvenile
courts all over the country are recog-
MIXING this, and are accordingly taking
measures to punish parents who will
not restrain their offspring. Parents
are continually advertising to the pub
lie their own coarseness and inetfi-
cheney by the conduct of their children,
says Houston Post. In hotel ana res
Itaurant. on street cars and il jitneys,

failure of parenthood. Parents know.
or should know. what taints-pbysica

They know what traits of character
are to be restrained and what cult

lives to the study of the problem, they
carelessly assume control of pllable

bilities for good or evil With less
knowledge than they would devote to
the care of scrub stock they enter upon
the rearing of children. And not only
do they permit. but they facilitate, the

FARMER BEHIND THE TIMES
for Many Years Without Modern
Conveniences.

In the American Magazine a farm
er's wife tells of some of her expert
ences. She says:
'My husband does not, or will not.
realize that the world has moved. and
that what were Injuries q generation
ago are necessities now. One of my
children died of typhoid fever, the
germs Of which We're, no doubt, brought
by flies from the house down the road
where they had the disease; for we
haven't screen door in the house. and
only few cheap adjustable screens.

mattresses cost money, and the feather
beds were in the house-a part of the
furnishings that / married, when took
my husband for better or for worse. We
have chairs with rounds missing, worn
carpets, nicked dishes and cooking
utensils that have long since outlived
their usefulness.

that reason alone housework is much

Treatment of MOUNDS.

IF the wound is toached by the hand
billions of pus germs will be carried
into it, If washed with water even
more germs will be carried into the
wound and not only that but the
deep parts of the wound which previ-
Ously no germs had reached will have
billions of germs carried TO them.
Therefore do not handle or wash Il
wound. Even if an antisentic solu-
ton is used, il will carry puS germs
from the skin and deeper than they
have been before and no antiseptic
used strong enough TO kill these germs,
as it viii also destroy the cells of the
body and so make them less able TO
fight the germs. Peroxide is specially
dangerous in deep wounds as it carries
puS germs everywhere and is not
strong enough TO destroy them,
Placing a clean dressing, which means
a dressing that has been sterilized sur
gically (such as the Red Cross dress
ing) on the wound win introduce no
more germs and will not injure the
delicate tissues of the body exposed in
the wound. Moreover, the flow of
blood and blood serum (the liquid part
of the blood) Will be in the direction of
the dressing, so the germs will be con-
stantly going out. This, therefore. is
the way to take care of wOund.-Red

The formidable peak known as the

terrible catastrophe. While descend

Hadow, one of the party, slipped, drag

three were well placed and managed

When men come to be renters in
habit, that is, when they grow willing
to depend on some other hand TO pro-
vide and maintain their homes for
them, society loses much of that indi-
vidual independence; that personal in
itiative, that self-reiiance which diff
ferentiates a great people from mere
human mass. For two hundred years
America has led the world in individ
ual initiatiye, says Columbus Dispatch.
The fathers pulled out of the Euro
pean huddle for the sake of standing
alone, and when they reached America
they had to stand alone. However we
may excuse ourselves for inclination
toward the easy comfort of the rented
quarters. it must still be admitted that
our inclination is a symptom of a
phase of social degeneracy, a drift to-
ward the huddle, the beginning of an
abandonment of that vitalizing indie
pendence of which the owned, detached
home is pre-eminently the symbol and
support.

The JONES BILLS
AND The Farmer

The Biwabik Times favors the tax
bills introduced in the senate by
senator Jones which would reduce
CAKES on buildings and business, la
DOR and industry and increase taxes
On the holders of vacant lots and
acres; but the times thinks these
bills will have the opposition of the
farmer.
Where does the Times get it's in
.ormation?
In both house and senate, members
from the farming districts have join
ed with Senator Jones as co-authors
Of the bills. Many of these men are
farmers themselves.
The Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association has gone on record
several times in favor of the princi-
pie embodied in these bills; so also
las the All Minnesota Development
Association, no less than three times,
co my knowledge.
The Farmers Non-Partisan League
of North Dakota, the Oranges of
most of the states, the Tenant Far
mers' Association of Texas, are all
on record in favor of this principle.
The ainss55gzszassssyers' Association of
Western Canada favors it, and all
the farming communities of the
three western provinces are now and
for many years have been working
on this principle No farmer in
Western Canada is penalized by one
cent of tax because he builds house
or barn, raises crops, buys and uses
horses, cattle and machinery.
And why shouldn't the farmers ia.
vor the Jones bills? Under the pre-
sent system they pay about half the
taxes in the United States, but they
own only about one-tenth of the land
values. The land values are not in
the farms. They are in the cities
the mines, the forests, the water
power, and other great natural re.
sources.
But the Jones bills are only a
moderate step in this direction, but
they are in the right direction. They
will give the people chance to test
the principle. If they like it they
will want more.

TOO MUCH SNOW FOR AUTO U i
. BUS on STAGE LINE
Failure Of Towns In Keeping Roads
Open Suspends Auto e.
Mail Service. u -. rs II

Winger & Robertson had to dis
! continue the use of their auto bus
on the west stage route today, and
put on horses on the entire distance,
owing to the many snowdrifts along
the road. They made an earnest ef-
fort to keep this car running, having
ploughed out the road several times,
but found the expense too great for
them to bear.
1t is. the duty of the different
towns through which the state road
passes to keep it open in winter,
and it would seem reasonable that if
each town would do their share to-
wards ploughing the drifts, or put
up snow fences in places to prevent
the drifts, the road could be kept
open so that a truck could be used
all winter, and the expense would
not be a burden to anyone. But it
is too much to expect the mail car
riers. to do this alone. So far this
winter but very little work has been
done by the towns toward keeping
the road open
Winger & Robertson would be glad
to run their auto bus through from
| here to Cramer the same day, CIV
ing us through mail service in winter
as we'll as in summer, if the road
could be kept in condition to permit
it. And it would seem that it is up
to the towns to do something in this
regard, at least to make some effort
and see what can be done.

MAY PROTECT GAME BIRDS
FOR PERIOD OF Three YEARS
Legislature Asked for Closed Season
o" Partridge. and Chickens by
Game League.

Members of the Minnesota state le-
gislature will be asked today to en-
act law placing closed season on
partridge, prairie chickens, grouse of
every variety, Chinese ringneck and
English pheasants for period cf
three years, according to an article
in the Duluth Herald. The bill will
receive hearing in the senate cham
ber at 3 o'clock this afternoon, when
it is expected delegates from the Du-
luth branch Of the Minnesota Game
Protective League will be present to
| urge upon the senators the import
ance OF acting favorably upon the
measure.
1t is believed by State Game Com
missioner Carlos Avery that the only
point that will furnish any conten-
tlon will be that of closing the sea-
son on prairie chickens, and he has
so informed James A. Lawrie of this
city, one of the officers of the Du-
luth branch.
The salient features of this bill
were commented upon at the annual
meeting of the Minnesota State
Game and Fish Protective League
held in Duluth last August, when the
| various delegates to the convention
agreed that unless a closed season
OF at least three years was placed
on game bird life that partridge,
grouse, prairie chickens and other
birds would be forever wiped out Of
existence.
Duluth sportsmen have favored a
! closed period on partridge since two
years ago, when rainy weather and
an exceptionally large slaughter of
the birds depleted their numbers to
such an extent that few of them
were able to survive It is the in
tention Of the sportsman to conserve
the few that remain in the hope of
replenishing their ranks and build
ing up the coveys to the size that
they were several years ago.
Few partridges were killed last
fall for the reason that the birds
were so scarce that real sportsmen
refused to shoot at them, preferring
| to give the birds a chance to propa.
gate.
A concurrent resolution, memorial
izing congress to enact an enabling
law making effective the migratory
bird treaty with Canada, will also
be brought up at the Wednesday
| meeting in the state senate, the pur-
pose being to remind congressman of
the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, entered into Aug.
%, 1915, and which prohibits the
spring shooting of migratory birds.

GREAT RESOURCE OF STATE
NEEDS PROTECTION

White pine is one of the great nat
ural resources of Minnesota to be
compared with her iron, her water
power, and her agricultural products
It is one of the timber trees of the
world and it grows wonderfully we'll
in Minnesota. 1t is native of east
ern North America and covers the
northeastern quarter of the United
States and adjacent parts of Canada.
It has furnished billions of feet of
lumber for the building up of Mime
sofa. 1t has been great natural as
set of the state. Can it be called an
asset Of the future? We know that
the white pine can be raised profit
ably on large areas of land in the
state. Will it be done?
Is fire the only serious enemy? 1t
is not. Another real enemy has ap-
peared in Minnesota-the disease CAL
led pine blister rust. Fire can be
prevented. Blister rust, if once we'll
established, can probably never be
eradicated; and, in that event, white
pine will, according to the experience
in the east and in Europe, have to be
eliminated as future asset of Min
nesota and probably for all time to
come.
Now is the time to act. Every ef-
fort ought to be made to stamp out
the Infection in Minnesota and to
protect the state from any future in
fection.-E. M. Freeman, Minnesota
Experiment Station.
