Training Little Children
BY Mrs. v. Oma Grace Oliver

He picks up baby's toys,
He shuts the door for grandma,
Without bit of noise.
On errands for his mother
He scampers up and down,
She VOWS she would not change him
For all the boys in town.
(Song for A Little Child's Day, by
Emile Poulsson and Eleanor
Smith,
Then the child can help prepare for
the great festival days, birthdays,
Thanksgiving and Christmas, those
joyous days which bring the family
very close together, and we can let
him share not only in the preparation
but in the joy of the day itself and
here very early he gains a presenti-
ment Of the love and spirit of service
that make home, and an ideal of the
home that he will some day found.
AS we would let the child share the
labor and the festivals, so we must
permit him to share the great fam
lily secrets and home joys. Let him
know that he must never divulge any
thing that concerns only the family
and l know that a child properly
trained will never tell his playmates
what he is told is family secret.
So we begin very early to train
him to keep his word and the sanctity
of the home. When he has. been thus
prepared he is ready to share with
the mother and father thot greatest
family secret, the coming of the new
baby, and this confidence will bind
the little one closer than anything
else to the very heart of the home.
Children are so open-hearted and
ready and respond so sweetly and
quickly to faith and trust that we
often miss great happiness by not
sharing our hopes and joys more free
ly with them.
If we keep the bond very close our
home will become the great meeting
place Of all children and this love and
companionship between parents and
children will be like a powerful mag
net whose attraction the children can
not resist.
So from these beginnings the home
tie will be so strengthened that we
need never fear that the allurements
of the world can draw our children
from us, but can rest assured that
they will always return to the "cen-
ter of deep repose."
Williston graphic., 1918-06-20

Parents must not look down upon
the child and consider his efforts,
trials and sorrows petty; we must try
to understand how sincerely they put
/. all their hearts into their play and
that the losses that seem 50 trivial
to US are of great moment to them.
We must learn to share all their ex-
periences with them if we would de-
velop the fine feelings we wish them
to have at maturity.
Children must not be shut off in
one part of the house to remain aloof
until certain age, but ought to be
a part of the family circle, sharing
it's joys, work and minor sorrows. I
do not mean that children should he
pushed before visitors, have all their
meals at the family table or remain
up till their elders retire, but there
are times and places when it is the
children's right and privilege really
to be members of the family.
Even when they are very young,
children can assume responsibility
for certain light tasks about the
house and as their age. and strength
increase, more and more duties should
be added. The great American idea
has been to remove all responsibility
from the child and to give him a care
free childhood. l would not take one
second of joy away from any child,
but l would make it joy for him TO
feel that the home is his and that he,
too, helps in the making of it by per-
forming certain duties that need to
be done for the comfort Of all. The
child Of 2 can pick up toys, put away
dishes and silver, help set the table
due low furniture and run many er-
rands upstairs and down, and he loves
to feel that he is "mother's helper"
He brings his daddy's slippers,

NOTICE

To all concerned:
At a meeting Of the officers of the
Association Of Illinois, it was decided
that by reason of the fact that every
one was doing all possible for the war
work, it was deemed inadvisable at
this time to have their second annual
picnic.
The Association is, above all things,
behind the Government in it's en-

applicants will serve on board Uni

Application should be made imme-
diately. Enrolment is for four years,
but reservists are subject to call only

BONDS AND STAMPS NOT RIVALS.

The Liberty Loan Campaign and the
War Savings movement are no more
rivals than the super-dreadnOughts and
the destroyers Of our navy are rivals.
The Liberty Loan and the War Saw
ings Stamps are two forms Of the same
financial operation Of the United
States government. They were author
lied by the same vote Of Congress and
are intended to supplement each other.
They are both Of paramount import
ance to the financing Of the war. The
Liberty Loan Campaign is primarily
to obtain the many billions Of dollars
necessary toward paying the expenses
Of war and lending to our Allies.
The peculiar significance Of the War
Savings movement is to teach the na-
tfon to save and to invest Its savings
In War Savings Stamps in order that
the government may not merely get
money, but spend this money for the
support Of the army.
The War Savings campaign will last
throughout the year, probably until
the war IL over. It aims at developing
habits Of thrift that shall make th"
sales Of stamps cumulative. ~.
The pers0n Of limited means who ID
vests In a few War Savings Stamps
does his share 40 we'll 40 the wealthicr
man who buys q quantity Of Liberty

Millions who could not afford to In

to visualise the course Of dollar saw
ed from waste and invested in gov
ernment securities" says President
Wilson. First, it goes to the govern
ment as loan for the war; second
it is expended by the government for
food, clothing and ammunition which
60 directly to the gallant sailor or sold
Ter, whose fighting strength is kept up
by the food, whose body is kept warm
by the clothing and whose enemy Is hit
by the ammunition. 1t has not been
expended in the purchase Of needless
food and clothing for the man at home,
and is, therefore, released for the use
of the soldier; 1t is SAVED wealth
to the man at home and can be loaned
to his government at interest, with re-
sulting benefit to himself and his gov
ernment."
In the presidents statement lies the
kernel of the war savings movement.
This line Of work in behalf of the gov
'ernment does not depend upon taking
money out of circulation, but upon the
saving of expenditures for non-essen-
tials and the investment OF those saw
ings with the government for war uses
The national authorities felt that IN
asking the people Of the country to
save an extra two billion dollars and
loan It to the nation it was asking but
small sacrifice compared to the SUI
ferings Of the people of allied coun-
tries in the war, whose interest In VIC
tory is no greater than ours but whose
losses in the gigantic struggle can nev-
er be fully realized by us so far away.
This call means Q subscription of $40
per capita, or 1900, 900 from the peo-
pie of North Dakota, that being the ra-
ito for the entire country, and double
the per capita quota asked In the vari- !
Gus Liberty loans.
To accomplish this every man. wo-
man and child must be tied up to = !
pledge to buy stamps every month for !
the balance of the year. Every men,
Der of war savings society must real
lze the undertaking, and get busy In |
the great subscription rally which cnl-
inmates in North Dakota on June %.
Meetings will be held on that date IN
every school house, community, town t
and city of the state, for it is believed
that with a per capita wealth greater !
han any other state, North Dakota can,
easily oversubscribe her pledge on that
lay and have the matter over with.
And in passing it may be said that
war savings stamps earn about IN

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. - Troops OF
Lieut.. Gen. L.ggett's First American
Army are fighting in the Bois du Fond
de Limon, south Of Sedan. and have
reached the line FTaba. Maisoncelle. and
Chemery. Gen. Pershing reports in his
communique for this morning. The Ger
mans are resisting with artillery and
machine guns the advance Of the Amers
leans east OF the Meuse. The statement
follows:
November 6 (Morning). - Between
the Bar and the Meuse the First
American Army continued its advance
northward. where 1t was opposed by
strong resistance.
Our troops are in the Bots du Fond
de Limon, whence the line extends
through the Flaba, Maisoncelle and

tillery and machine gun fighting dur
ing the night.
Franco American units operating In
the difficult terrain east OF the Meuse
against positions long held by the en-
envy on the front, Sivry to the Bots de
La Grade Montague, were heavily en-
gagged.
During successful air contests yes
terday afternoon three additional en-
envy planes were brought down. All

enough task for men undisturbed by the
enemy's guns, but It's Accomplishment
was almost inconceivably difficult under
the violent enemy fire.
With two waterways and two-thi.ds
Of a mile OF midland successfully nego-
tiated. the Americans had only the Gus

delay and in ever increasing numbers.
The Germans. who apparently had as
sumed that II was impossible to cross
the Mouse. gave way without great re-
sistance before men who could brave
their fire. swim two rivers and cross a
swamp with almost charmed lives and
attack them without pauslng for even a
moment.
The retreat from the east bank of the
Meuse began rapidly, with the Ameri-
