home this year. All summer long
the boys gathered luscious toma-
toes, plump green peas, delicious
sweet corn and other fresh vege-
tables from the garden and the girls
canned them in big Navigation glass
jars and packed them away in the
cave, each jar nicely wrapped in
newspaper to exclude the light.
Then, just a few weeks ago, the
cave collapsed and nearly all the
jars of fruit and vegetables were
broken and their contents lost. Dis
couraged? No, indeed.
There are the incest vegetables
yet" said Miss Frances Moore,
cooking supervisor, as she and the
older girls went to work on big
batch of the last tomatoes and corn
OF the season. The boys have built
new cave, deep, and we'll VEN
tilated, with thick cement walls and
strongly braced by oak timbers, cut
by themselves on the grounds, and
the girls have filled many shelves
already with new canned goods.
Methods of Exacting Obedience.
The Sections always have a big
family, usually about 40 children
They have various methods of ex-
acting obedience. The little girls
wear gingham aprons week days
and white ones on Sundays. When
a little girl is naughty she is not al
lowed to wear her white apron the
next Sunday and there is no worse
punishment to be devised. From
boys various little coveted privileges
are taken for naughtiness, but whip
ping is very seldom resorted to.
When it is necessary, Mr.. Sexton

what everyone calls him and Shook
ums is the pet OF the whole family.
He hasn't forgotten his daddy and
every morning he goes out on the
porch top and salutes the flag that
flies from a tall pole on the lawn.
No one told him to do this, but he
seems to feel that it is a fitting
rite. Everyone who sees plump,
serious little Snookums wants to
adopt him. but no one can have
him, for he and his brothers and sis
tiers are awaiting the return of their
soldier father.
Tales of the county homes and or
phan asylums, such as we have all

and suppressed little children dare
not smile or speak, are dispelled

the tall iron gate and sees the lit
tie ones playing about and the older

Alas, John Barleycorn, where is
thy consistency?
When the Spanish influenza cpl
demic hit Omaha it was quietly
whispered about that whisky was a
sure preventative and certain cure.
So the boys who had had few
quarts stored away in the cellar
since the state went into that hor-
rible condition a year ago in May,
brushed the dust off the labels and
went to it.
While Chief Eberstein was init
mating that he was making the
neighborhood so dry that fish

Jest and joviality, now and then,
lightened the arduous labors of the
nine Omaha men who spent six days
on the Union Pacific Liberty loan
special train, taking the Fourth Lib
erty loan message to scores of
towns between here and Ogden,
Utah.
The oratorical battery consisted of
six lawyers, a preacher, two rail-
road men and two returned soldiers,

like rooms are clean and shining.
From the windows one looks
across the woods and hollows Of
the farm and catches glimpses of
the shining river and the Iowa
bluffs beyond. The clean, fresh
breeze blows up the valley and
puts roses into the children's

Little Katheryn Loves Them All.
, J. L. Sexton and Mrs. Sexton are
in charge of the home. They are
young and full of sympathy for the
youth of their charges. They have
a baby daughter of their own, little
Katheryn, who loves all the chill
dren Of the home as if they were
her own brothers and sisters, and
they are all treated every bit as we'll
as Katheryn.
Ten supervisors assist the chill
dren in their work and studies. The
older girls do the cooking and clean
ing and mending, and the boys take
care of the stock on the farms,
tend the garden and do all the out
side work. There are always more
boys than girls at the home. A big
flock of geese is raised every year.
and there are always chickens.
The children have eggs, three apiece,
three times week. One little boy
is always assigned to the collection
of the eggs. which is quite a task,
as the big flock of hens often prefer
to lay in the woodsy hollows in
stead of their perfectly comfortable
hen house.

Restriction is Demanded
of German War Marriages

New York, Oct. ll.-Restrictions
Of war marriages in Germany is de-
manded by the New Saxon, church
paper. The material advantages
which young woman obtains by
the war marriage are so alluring that
only few resist the lure, says the
paper, adding: "The war divorces
throw bad light on the moral con-
ditions in Our people. They have
not been numerous thus far, but
we fear that they will increase after
the war"
According to the Cologne Gazette
700 actions for divorce were begun
within a period of four months be-

Little religious training is al
lowed in the home, which must be
entirely nonsectarian, as the chill
dren come from every kind Of
home, Jewish, Roman Catholic and
the various branches of protestant
ism. Every night the children say
Nov l lay me" before they creep
into their little white beds and a
simple grace is said before meals.
Patriotic songs take the place of
hymns. On Sunday the children
may go to any church they please,
if someone responsible will take
them. Various religious societies
look after the children of their
faith in this manner.
Good Place with Poor Name.
All the children except the little
delinquents go to the Bancroft
school and the delinquents are
taught in the big school room at
the home. 1t is seldom child runs
away from the home, but many are
attracted by the good times, the
kindly consideration and the good
food and comfort and run away to
it. One little boy had committed
juvenile crimes several times to get
sent there, until the Judge found
him out and disappointed him. Chill
dren who are delinquents at home
give very little trouble in this
wholesome atmosphere of work and
play and general good fellowship,
and it is seldom that child is I'M
manageable there. Detention home
Is a fine place for children, but it
has a poor name for a place where
the children are detained, not by
locks and keys, but by the kind
ness and justice of men and women
in charge.

sULZER'S CARELESSNESS.

1t beats all how some men cannot be satisfied unless they are in trouble They appear to have craving for trouble And seemingly Delegate Suzer is one of that sort In yesterdays mail we received copies of various bills the Delegate introduced in Congress in the interest of Alaska Now you watch the operation that will fol- low Short of murder he will be accused of all kinds of crimes. From robbng the poor to favonng the rich. Unmindful of the consequence the Delegate went right ahead and introduced more bills which his mind for our own benefit Among the bills introduced is one to regulate the fishing industry in Alaska. By far the most important measure so far as Southeastern and Western Alaska is concerned
 The measure as introduced by the Delegate is accom- panied by letter containing the request for it's publca ton and inviting criticism In view of the importance of the bl the request for it's publication shall be complied with Commencing with today portion of 1t shall ap- pear every day until the entire bill has been published Later cOmmentS-if any-pTOvided the commentators confne themselves to the cusSng vital points, shall also be published, if so desired
 Since Alaskas fishing industry became known there has been many bills introduced to regulate but the bills were no sooner introduced than charge of favOts mo- nopOv and what not were made resulting in much trouble for all concerned Hence deduction that Delegate SuI ger must like trouble since he has introduced another Be that as may we believe it be duty to help the Dele gate in this matter by advising him without tearing him to pieces because his ideas do not agree with At the outset let us make up minds that cannot have 1t all our own way that must not only take but give alSO and with this firm resolution we can meet on common ground and settle the question in that all derive some benefit from the indusry-( Pro- reSSive-Miner)

 It makes no difference what the political complexion of the writer may be- every letter to Mr. Suzer is prompt answered and the matter inquired for given the stices attention.

CAvALRYMEN ARE WANTED
 BY PERSRING

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2l. -~ Gen. Pershing, commander oI the eX- peditionary forces, has recommended that l5 regiments of cavalry be torm- ed and trained at once in connection with the national army. Tle members would be picked from amo2g the Selec tive draft men, 1t is understood. The War Department endorses Pershing'S request, and there is no doIbt that the regiments will be folmcd.
 Most of the men will be picked from the West, 1t Is thought Practically all of the selects from the cattle-rais" ing states requested to be plt ito the cavalry arm of the service when call eel. At the time, cavalrymen were be- ing trained in trench warfare, and 1t was believed that horses we Id never again appear on q modern battlefield
 The sudden changes which the war is constantly developing, however, brought the cavalry back into it's own in the Haig drive into the Hi0denbWg line when he mounted warriors were given a great share of the credit. Gen. Allenby'S use of cavalry in the Jeru-
 alem campaign also strengthened the belief of American military leaders that the United States forces gong abroad mlst include mounted men.

WAR CLUB WEEK WELL
OBSERVED In MORRIS
Judge Kean Of Minneapolis Gives
Fine Patriotic Address to Busi-
ness Men

War Club Week" has been well
observed in Morris and Stevens
county and many Savings Clubs
and War Clubs" have been organ
lied. Supt. Roberts reports many
thrift clubs started in the rural
schools, and in the Morris schools
"War Savings Societies. have been
formed. A society has been started
in the High School and one in each
of the ten grades. In the high school
society Jack Harris is the president
and Margaret Burpee the secretary
The 8th grade Jean Harris is presi-
dent and Jeanice Gould secretary.
7th grade Arthur Ryhn president and
Myrtle SIR secretary. The 5th and
9Th grades in the high school build
ing Kenneth Flatner is president and
Gertrude Gilbert secretary. The
elections for the societies in the 9TH
er grades took place yesterday.
In order to encourage the sale of
baby bonds" Judge Kean of Mime
apolis gave a short talk at the Or
pheum theatre Wednesday night and
also addressed the business men of
the city at the commercial Club
rooms afterwards. He gave a fine
patriotic address and urged the pur-
chases of more thrift stamps and
Liberty Bonds. Among other things
he compared the advantages of the
educational institutions of today to
what they were years ago when he
attended school. He said that this
country offered the biggest advant-
ages of any country in the world. In
speaking of the present war he said.
"The American government has al
ways had noble and dis-interested
purpose in all previous wars and have
never entered a war for gain, but
only to fight for freedom for them
selves or someone else. We are en-
joying untold blessings today and
they have all been handed down to
us by our forefathers and we have
taken them as our inheritance. We
must fight this war to a finish and
win so that our children and our
ehildren's children will inherit the
same blessings we are enjoying"
He said "There should be but one
party as long as the war lasts, and
that is the party of patriotism. Any
one who goes around intoxicating
wrong ideas into people and stirring
up dissension among the town peo-
pie and the farmers are nothing but
public enemies and should be gagged
and treated as traitors -

SUFFICIENT HARD COAL
ASSURED NEXT WINTER
Reduction in Price Will be Made in
Order to Encourage Early Buy
ing

The outlook at the present time is
that there will be no coal shortage
next winter. DR.. Geenty, fuel ad-
ministrator for Stevens county, says:
There will be no more anthracite
coal delivered to this county this
winter but there is plenty of soft coal
to be had. People will be advised
to make their purchases of coal for
the winter of 1918-1919 during the
coming summer and plenty of coal
will be received so that all who wish
to may put in supply. People will
be allowed to buy as much coal as
they used during the winter 1917
1918 and their purchases will be
based on the amount they used
this winter. No one will be
called "fuel-hog' if they
put in just what they will
need and no more. 1t is likely that
coal will be some cheaper during the
summer in order to urge people to
make their purchases at that time. :"
DR.. H. A. Garfield, United States
Fuel Administrator, has this to say
about the fuel outlook: Anthracite
coal will be soc ton cheaper
from April 1st to Sept. 1st. Every
consumer is assured of a sufficient
supply for his next winters needs
at stated prices for every section of
the country. Penalties are provided
against boarding and against false
statements of requirements. Certi-
ficates and card systems will be put
into operation and retailers and con-
sumers will be required to specify
the coal on hand, their normal con-
sumption and their needs. The re-
tailers can charge only one price and
strict injunction will go to every
administrator to enforce the new
regulations to the letter.
