what shallsI do with my children
Shall drown them?' asks a man Of
family who has been seeking comfort
able quarters and finds at almost every
turn that fatefEl ban-no children
and must keep on trying hopeful of
success sometime. Landlords do not
wish to rent t-,eir houses to families
with small children nowadays; it is
understood that the ban was not origi-
nally so strongly enforced; and more
and more is the family discouraged,
very few houses in Jacksonville to be
rented, even in midsummer, and the
owners and agents can afford to be
particular. They practically say that
the children are not wanted, and the
home-seeker, not being able to deny
his family, is turned away.
/ 1t is the same way in other sections
of the country and in cities generally
that is, regarding the discrimination
against small children, and with the
great tendency towards the apartment
house and the many beautiful and
comfortable structures erected in the
majority Of cities, restrictions are
placed upon tenants that forbid the
man with large family from enjoying
such homes. Children are not wanted
in houses owned by others than the
occupant. 1t is too bad, but the fact
is evident and cannot be disputed or
avoided.
And there is something to say for
the landlords and house-owners in this
day and generation for it would seem
that careless parents who may imag-
inc that they are doing we'll by their
offspring frequently allow them to be.

was never anything more truthful
said than spare the rod and spoil the

literally, but the idea conveyed is to
correct the faults of the young, be.

child more than parent.

do not appear to be in any danger OF

Should not every public utterance,
either by tongue or pen, be carefully
weighed as to its effect on the
minds of people in general?" asks the
DeFuniak Breeze. The answer is en-
phatically in the affirmative. But
many who make public utterances
care nothing about the effect Of their
speech or writing SO 1t furthers their

Won out Of mischief and you mignt
make some money out Of It, too. Kun
along now and get your lessons. anu
you Dollykin. come and tell iather
what the Dewdrop Fairy told you th'S
morning"
Now the funny thing about 1t was
that Dolly had been talking WIN
fairy who had told her something
about beets-the very thing they nad
been eating for dinner. He was
very handsome fellow. His complex
ion was rather dark. perhaps. but MS
cheeks had fine color. He was
dressed in a rich. dark red coat AMI
had a wide ruffle of dark green around
his neck. She had found him very
nice to talk to. Now she felt quite
proud to tell Fatherbob what the
fairy had said. Her brothers had
sometimes laughed at her for believ-
ing in fairies. but Mothermine and
Fatherbob never. did that.
"Well, Fatherbob." said Dolly. Il
did see fairy this morning and ne
was telling me about beets. He said
that the beet is one of the very best
vegetables for young gardeners to
raise. He said you could get green's
from them in the spring and sum-
mer, and then, as soon as the fret
crop was gone your second crop
would be growing up. He said beets
were very-oh, it was such a long
word-something like nursing"
"Nourishing, perhaps" said Father
bob.
Eyes. that was it. He said it meant
that people would get fat anu be
healthy If they eat plenty Of beets.
He said they had lots Of sugar N
them; have they?'
Eyes. indeed more than any 9th
er vegetable, I believe"
"He said you planted the first crop
late in March or early in April, and
then you must plant some more in
July to put up for the winter. He
said that beets could not grow well
in sour SOIL What did he mean
by sour, Fatherbob?"
"Sour soil is the kind that has no
food in it for the seeds and plants.
It means same as poor soil. People
use many different things to 'sweeten'
the ground. They use leaf mould and
manure, and a good many people buy
stuff made just to feed the ground
with. 1t is called fertilizer"
"Oh, ! know" cried Dolly, quite
pleased to be able to understand this
long word; "the fairies have told me
about that"
what else did they tell you about
beets!'
well, the fairy said the seeds
should be soaked in warm water for
about eight hours. He said the seeds
were really little pods with a lot of
seeds in them. That makes them come
up very thick, and you have to pull
up some Of them to make room for
the others. You can use these you
pull up for green's. He said they must
be kept free from weeds; oh, Father
bob, did I tell you about the weed
Imp%
Eyes, you did. I liked the story
very much, but now I think it is time
for Dollykin to be in bed If she is go.

A great deal Of time last week was
devoted 10 consideration Of the various
plans for the league Of nations, the
organization Of which was the first

amiCation of the plans it seemed GER
tain that a compromise would not be
difficult to reach
Proddcd by the expressed anxiety Of
the senate, the American delegates
carefully examined every scheme sub
mitted to make sure that nothing In
them endangered the cherished Monroe
doctrine. They appear to be satisfied
that this American ideal is not imper-
lied ana that on the contrary. the
league would in effect extend the prin-
ciple of the Monroe doctrine TO the
whole world. The senate is not so sure
Of this, and Senator Borah, who
strongly opposed the formation Of the
league, introduced resolution which,
II passed, would serve notice that the
senate will not ratify treaty the pro-
visions of which conflict with the Mon.
roe doctrine and with the traditional
duty of the United States TO enforce
that principle.
