Urges Economy In op-Savlng,

A berdeen Examiner.
Conservation and economy are
important IN every department of
the government, and in every in
dustry, but no where are these
things more needed than in the saw
ing and harvesting of the crops, now
awaiting the husbandman S garner
ing touch. Itsis a patriotic duty
that nothing be allowed to go to
waste. The late rains have greatly
improved the hav crop and 1t is now
possible that fair yield of hay may
be saved, where two months ago it
was unthinkable. This is also true
of potatoes and peas, and if there is
prompt action, great deal can be
saved-but the frost lire is near ard
there should be no delay.

The labor shortage is a very seri-
GUS menace to vigorous prosecution
OF the war. If this shortage is not
supplied by the Labor Employment
Service, we fear the government will
be forced to resort to the extreme of
closing down all non essential pro-
duction and forcing the labor thus
released to engage in war work.

you WneH you are yourself 0k0Its
John. Can we have you back now?"
Many of the minor naughtinesses,
such as whining, teasing, mimicking,
showing, snatching and stamping, are
easily managed in this simple way.
Just here let me say we mothers
must be careful in our choice Of
words for wrong actions. Let US not
call all Of them bad, or even naughty.
If child is disagreeable or unkind
when he is tired, we shouldn't tell him
that he is bad. Save that worst word
for real wrongs like slapping, sneak
ing or deceiving and the like. Then
it will carry weight and mean some
thing. Real wrongs must be met with
severe punishments, such as depriv-
ing the child of some cherished pos
session.
Even a baby as young as year
old feels isolation. One of our little
ones was forming habit of throw
ing herself back in her high chair and
screaming all during meal time be-
cause she didn't get things just as
she wanted them. She was cured in
less than a week by her fathers TAX
ing her chair and all, to the kitchen
the minute she began and leaving her
there behind a closed door until she
stopped. How long did she cry? At
the most, two or three minutes, and
less and less each time, until she gave
up the habit entirely.

Training Little Children
If you should ask any kindergartner
BY Mrs. Laura Willard Lawrence

If you should ask any kindergartner
what punishment she relies on in all
cases needing instant attention she
would probably answer, isolating a
child from the group and excluding
him from all work or play for a short
time. Usually putting John to one
side where he can see what he is
missing will be sufficient, and the
question, after a few minutes, as to
whether he is now ready to join the
class again will meet with ready
to join the class again will meet with
a ready acquiescence.
Does this plan work as well in the
home as in kindergarten? 1t GER
tainly does, but it must he different
ly managed. Since there is not so
much definite work, or play going on
in the home as in kindergarten, ex-
clusion has to. be more complete to be
noticed by, the child. That is to say,
something more will be necessary than
simply having him draw his chair to
one side of the room. 1t must be,
"Go away by yourself, John, until you
are ready to be pleasant compan-
ion again." Banishment must be com.
plete even to closing the door. Of
course, orders will ensue, sometimes
screams, but they are caused by no
physical pain, and tn mental shock
of being entirely alone and cut off
from the family is generally all that
is needed to stop naughtiness. After
the tempest is over, the mother should

feeling Of neglect. The isolation
method Of punishment takes time,
but any kind Of punishment takes
time except the ever easy slap and
shake which do so. little good and
soon breed in a child the fear Of
physical violence.
BY little wise thinking and skull
full management it is often possible
to avoid punishments entirely. One
method is to avoid the issue by di-
verting the attention. Another simple
preventive is to explain actions and
happenings to children, without any
note of irritation in the voice. Even
two and three, year olds can grasp
much more than most people suppose
if it is only told them in language
they can understand. Explain what
is going to happen and why they
should act in such and such q, way;
explain what did happen and why
you asked them to act as you did.
Help to trace an action and establish
a connections between effect and
cause.
Of course, explanation may be car
ried to excess. Sometimes instant
and unquestioning obedience is nee
essary for safety. Positive commands
will always be obeyed if the children
know that as soon as possible expla-
nations will follow. When grown
up obeys blind orders he expects that
the reason for them will be explain
ed to him later. Why should not a
child expect the same treatment? :?
This method develops the intelligent
side of child's mind, and helps much
in good citizenship later on. j..

Two avlators, both veterans who
have seen service in France, were
compelled to turn back TO Belmont

because Of the poor performance Of

It was explained at the Belmont
Field that the motors with which the
postal airplanes are equipped were
turned over to the Post Office Depart
ment by the War Department. The
engines were manufactured as part Of
rush orders for overseas. They have
never been tested sufficiently to guar
antee their good performance because
the Government did not find II neces-
sary to accept them for service abroad

that the machines would improve in
service Meanwhile, on Wednesday.

appear and aerial mail between New
