ten the days of her own youth, or
perhaps she was one of those who is
described as having an old head on

always seemed a sc mewhat doubtful
possession.
Normal youth, overf1ows with rio
tious spirits, fun, noise and a de-
liciously humorous-to the rest OF
the world-sense of its own impor-
tance. In time, life takes a pruning
knife to all these things-cuts them
away ruthlessly. But it is pity to
lop them off too soon.
L. K. and her mother ought to
get together and talk things out,
without reservation, and then try
to compromise their differences and
come to some sort of mutual under
standing.
The mother ought to be frank with
her daughter in regard to the dan

to keep her from telling her daughter

the risk she may be running in such
apparently harmless adventures.
Girls who regard a smile as pass
port to the great democracy of youth
often fall prey to unscrupulous men.
Mothers and fathers too should
sympathize. and contribute as far
us possible, to the normal craving
for amusement, on the part of
young people. Suppose L. ks
mother should say to her daughter.
Get up a little movie party and
I'll go along too Even suppose
it has to be a Dutch" treat, they
might all wind up at L. ks house
for a cup of chocolate or a glass of
lemonade.
The mother would in this way
become acquainted with the young
people who are here daughter's
friends. the girl would lose that
sense of being defrauded of the So
ciety of people of her own age, and
the mother and daughter would get
a chance to be 'chums," instead of
growing more and more apart each
day." as the girl says.
Being n Parent No Sinecure

after the boys and girls go to work
To give them a home feeling. home
must be made attractive. 1t must
be something more than the place
where they eat breakfast. supper

it may be. it ought to be the one
place where a, girl feels free to ask
her friends. And no sacrifice, on
the mothers part, should be too
great, to bring about this most de-
sirable state of affairs, where a
daughter feels at home in her home.

Advice to the Lovelorn
HARD TO DECIDE

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am a widower aged 35 years and
have boy and two girls ages 6, s
and 10, respectively. l have become
very much infatuated with a sweet
and attractive girl aged II years. who
appears to be in love with me.
have laid bare to her my entire fam
lily history. but in spite of my chill
dren and my age she persists. Do
you believe her love merely a youth
full fantasy or do you believe II will
be stable and lasting love If marriage
should result. Second, Do you believe
that the difference in ages would act
as a barrier to a happy marriage?
C. j. r.
OF course, I who have seen neither
you nor the girl can give only a general
judgment as to her real feelings. My
impression is that when 17-year-old
girl cares for any man, it is likely to
be an emotional, unbalanced and
rather untrustworthy affair. Then
when you add that the object of the
girls affections is twice her age and
has a child only seven years younger
than the child who thinks she loves
hint all looks as If the lasting
quality of the girls affection ought
not be counted on too much. IL isn't
the difference in ages that initiates
against the happiness of such a mar
riage-it is the difference in expert

known youth and love and marriage

dren a mother so young? Can she
understand your ambitions and share
your enjoyments? Will you find
pleasure in the things she does? Are
there things that you can talk about

KIDDING THE RANGE
 OF RAVACINC ROCUES

It is estimated that the Bureau of Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture is saving annually over $5,OOO,OO0' worth of live stock for the ranchers of the Rocky Mountain section as result of its in tensive campaign against predatory animals, which has been in progress during the past three years. During this period 60,45S coyotes, S,085 bob cats, 1929 wolves, POI mountain lions and 137 bears have been trapped or shot, and many other animals have been poisoned. The income from the sale of pelts of animals killed by gov- ernment hunters to protect live stock during the last year will aggregate $1OO,OOO. This work is of special inn portance, because the cattle and sheep which are already on the range pro- ducing meat, wool and leather are af- forded protection, and thus the actual sources of these essential commodities are being conserved for market. Fur thermore clearing the range of preda- tory animals is making conditions more favorable for stocking the graz ing areas to full capacity and for inn proving the quality of the breeding stock.

TO FIGHT DROUGHT
 WITH IRRIGATION

"Water on our lands during 1917 and 1918 would have meant; thousands of dollars to this county, to the far mers, and to the city people," the ex- ecutive committeeman in charge of irrigation in the Flathead County Farm Bureau, Montana, writes. The Flathead County Farm Bureau is de- termined that the drought conditions of the present season shall not be re- peated and has made irrigation one of its major issues of work for the year. Different localities will handle the problem in different ways. Irrigation in this valley will make it possible for the farmers to change from a straight grain farming to the practice of di- versified system employing live stock as we'll as the necessary crops.

 ANXIOUS TO START

The letter following will be of great deal of interest to the many friends of Joseph V. Peterson, formerly of Oatman. MT. Peterman was one of the trusted employees of the Tom Reed Reed Company at the above place, hay ing been for a number of years, fore man of the melting room. The letters explain themselves and to add to them when one knows Joe Peterman, would seem to us an unnecessary endeavor, as Joe numbered his friends by the number of acquaintances.
 From Local Board Orange County No. 1, Santa Ana, Calf, to Local Board, Kingman, Arizona.
 Subject: Cace of Joseph V. Peter man.
 Your registrant, Joseph V. Peter man, Serial No. S77, Order No. 280, whom we sent to Camp for you early last fall and who was subsequently, rejected because of his eyes, appeared at our office today and stated that at his own expense he had an operation performed on his eyes so that he could qualify for service, and requested that we re-examine him and forward his papers to you.
 This we have done, and we are en- closing his papers herewith. The ex- amining physician has qualified him for full service, and if your Board sees fit to do the same, MT. Peterman would like to be sent to camp on your next call.
 Will you kindly advise us of your ac-' tion in this matter?
 Yours very truly Division No. 1 for the County of Orange, Santa Ana, Cal.

 Chief Clerk MT. s. Withers,
 Friend Sam:-
 am writing to you to ask you to do me favor.
 I would like you, if you can, to to help me get back into the Service as soon as possible. Under separate cover l am making an application to the Board for induction. I will state my case to you in as few words as possible. On July 1st I applied at the Army Recruiting Office in Los An geles for enlistment. The doctor there informed me that if I had an opera tion performed on my eye he would accept me. On July 7th the opera tion was performed at my own expense and was very successful. Last week I went back to the Recruiting Station but as all enlistments are closed they couldn't accept me, but told me to ap- ply to my draft board for re-eXamina- tion.
 I presented myself today to the Orange Co. Board, No. 1, who exam ined and passed me. Now Sam, could you let me know what the chances are for me to get back into the Service immediately.
 -. l am anxious to go and hope that 1 wont have to wait long.
 If anything I ask is in violation of any regulations of the draft, I beg your pardon for asking it.
 But if you can help me I will deem it great favor. Thanking you in ad- vance and with best wishes for your health I am ;
 Yours sincerely
