My friends, take the gambler, the dis

a chance. Remember that crime and
vice do not come suddenly, but through the
yesterdays, and when society has fully pre-.

KEEP TMEM OFF THE STREETS. Let
us have a curfew ordinance and enforce il
for the sake Of the children.
Let the mayor Of our city, who has super
vision Of the police quit winking at this
immortality and petty thieving and put on
more policemen to attend to this matter.
Failure of duty in this respect is winking
at crime. If the present policemen are not
doing their duty, then remove them and
put others in their places. | am sure that
the city commissioners will support tho
mayor in anything he wants to do In this
matter that is constructive. We do not

him wonderful admonition by the way Of
example. Fathers, you owe this to your
sons and to your country and to your
Father who is in heaven.
One final plea for the children: Give
them city playground, properly super
vised-give them gymnasium-give them
a city library so that they may read in
stead Of looking at these rotten vaudevilles
from night to night-giUe them healthy
birth--giUe them pure moral air to breathe
in your city-give them chance and they
will be decent and high-minded
Let us take care Of the children, the
greatest investment in your city, and |
shall have nothing to say about the enter
tainment for the older people--clubs, lodg-
es, orders, etc.
If something is not done on a construct.
i've basis, then the teachers, preachers, and
editors Of the city have totally failed.
How can the children be saved from de-
struction? Let the teachers, preachers,
and editors create a sentiment that will
materialize the gymnasium, playground,
and other constructive agents that will di.
rect the children in the right way; let par
ents keep boys and girls off the streets at
night except when necessary and you will
decrease crime. Statistics prove that

the best men and women possible. Let
this man be true Christian, then he will
be true to himself and never false to the
children. Let him be a man who can

any mans friend, nor his own, j not hers;
let them be honest for it is the shortest

politically right which is morally wrong;
let them be men full of kindness for this is
the golden chain by which society is bound
together: let them be sober men for strong

but mans way to the DEVIL let them not be
gamblers for il is the child Of avarice, the
brother Of iniquily and the father Of mis-
chief; let them thoroughly understand the
laws Of example and suggestion.
When we have men o. this type, crime
and vice will be taken more serious--do.
nestle and foreign. Crooks and dishonest
men work only where the field is fertile
, and where there are no distractions. This
is a general truth for crime and vice can

"a scrap Of paper?" An insult to an

ness, profanity, vulgarity, and vice in gen.
eral? While these acts are being perform.
ed just remember that the children are in
the audience or spectators and that they
hear well, see well, and initiate better.
Then, what kind Of character should the
incoming commissioners have in order that
the children shall be protected from ex.
amples Of corruption and made happy and
beautiful within, and that they shall have
pure and wholesome air to breathe?
sincerely believe that each man should
be real Christian-the highest style Of
man. He should have largeness of heart,
for it means to love radiantly, to act nobly,
to think deeply, to enjoy rightly, to suffer
divinely, to plan magni6cently, hospitality

and response to all enthusiasms. Yes, we
need city commissioners who have

reproach, opposition or contempt. Then,
my friends, when we have such men, the
boys and girls will be higher-toned In
conjunction with this idea Of commissioner,
let us have a juvenile court in Lakeland,
headed by man who knows children, who
loves children, and who will not send every
child to the reform school who comes be-

FARMERS SHOULD KNOW
PRODUCTION COSTS

What does it cost to produce bush
ell of grain, a pound of meat, or gal
Ion of milk? This is vital question
today and will likely become more I'M
portant in the future. 1t is not i'm
probable that the government will
take hand in price fixing in the
years to come. 1t is not possible to
know what price the farmers should
receive for what they produce unless
the cost of production is known, There
is but one way to arrive at the ac-
curate cost, and that way is by keep
ing accounts.
In connection with stock feed rec
ord is the important thing as feed
constitutes three-fourths or more of
the total cost of producing meat. A
labor record is most important in de-
termining the cost of crops Labor
is usually ene-half or more Of the
total cost of any crop.
If farmers are interested in this
phase of farm record work, either
individually or in groups, or through
local farmers organizations, they
should get in touch with their county
agricultural agent.

FROM INTENSE COLD


Range stock in the northern dis

suffering severely from the unusually
trying condition that prevailed there
before the recent fair weather. A
heavy fall of snow was accompanied
by storms and intense cold The
southern part of the state has enjoyed
more favorable weather and it is said
that a moderate rainfall is bringing
out the winter ANIMALS and causing
consequent improvement of the
ranges.
Deep snow is reported to cover the
ground in the White Mountain region,
though at Fort Apache but two inches
have fallen. Pinedale is buried un-
der six inches Of snow, but has an ad-
vantage over Flagstaff and Seligman

white mantle had attained depth Of
eight inches. The heaviest fall in the
state was reported at Williams, where
there is 101a inches of snow

PROPOSED CHANGES
IN LIVESTOCK LAWS

The new Livestock Sanitary Board
members are taking the bull by the
horns" and with the approval of the
cattle growers, are going before the
legislature with requests for some
marked changes in the livestock
laws. The most important proposal is
to require registration of all the
brands of the state. At present there
are 10000 Of these on record, more
than half of which it is said are not
in use. BY clearing out this vas.
number of unused brands there will
be less difficulty in securing new
brand
Members say that the proposed ac
tion will not inconvenience owners of
present brands, but will assist them
No one is to be compelled to change
from present brands but would re-
record them. Those not shown TO
be in use could then be issued to new
applicants.
1t is also proposed to tighten up
on the laws against the cattle rustler
and put stop to his nefarious work.
The peddler is to be required to know
the origin of his meat and the burden
of proof put upon him. The destruc-
tion of hides for the purpose of sub
terfuge should be made stronger than
a misdemeanor

OVERHAUL THE FARM TRACTOR
NOW

Until now, the farm tractor has
probably been kept rather busy with
the fall plowing and especially belt
work during the last month, but the
rush is over. A thorough overhauling
from tenn to stern is a most necessary
operation before the tractor is put to
work again This will be an easy
job now compared to what it will be
later. There will be no rusty bolts or
coroded joints and gaskets, but there
will be if the tractor is allowed 10
stand over winter before the work is
done.
The whole motor should be gone
over; valves ground. all bearings well
cleaned, adjusted and oiled; new pis-
ton rings installed if needed. All
necessary repair parts should be or
dered now, and put into place as soon
as they arrive. The man who does
this work on his tractor now will
have the satisfaction of being among
the first out in the field. while the
man who puts it off will have the hard
job of fitting out when he should be
kplowing. Keep the tractor up to a
high point of efficiency, by putting in
the proper amount of work on it at
the right time The time is NOW.

At the early morn thou shalt aspire
To get up first and light the fire.
Not any morning shalt thou miss
Bestowing on thy wife kiss.
II in the night the baby cries
Thou shalt the infant tranquilize.
Thou shalt take care thy wife can find
Her pocketbook with bills we'll lined
Thou shalt not criticize her cakes
Her cooking nor the bread she makes
Thou shall not fail at Eastertide
To keep her with new hats supplied
A sacred duty thou shalt deem
To treat her daily with ice cream.
Thou shalt not speak in temper rash
If she desires some extra cash.
Thou shalt not come home full" al
night
With lame excuses for thy plight
This is the tenth-thou shalt not chide
But shalt by all her laws abide.
If to these ten she adds ten thousand
