A LETTER FROM DIANA.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: We are
now fairly started in tire New Year
and settled to our usual work after
enjoying the holiday season.
The winter, thus far, has been very
mild, but perhaps if the weather was
not so changeable there would not be
so much sickness.
The boys are returning nome slow
ly from the camps and from abroad.
There seems to be much said about
the government finding employment
for them. | think they viii have no
trouble finding employment for them
selves. The farmers are hoping to
he able to secure help this coming
season. but if the boys are put on
government lands, OF employed in the
city, the farns cannot be kept up and
worked as usual. The farmers must
have help AMI with the exception of a
few, cannot afford to pay the exorbit-
ant prices that were demanded last
year. If one is willing to work for
fair wages there is plenty of work
awaiting them, We are thankful Sc
our sympathy goes out to those who
are disabled or wounded in any way
and to the PARENTS of those who gave
their lives for their country
l am glad that you can all meet al
the club meetings which are held eacf
month, and become personally ac-
quainted with each other.
Aunt Mary, Virginia, Saturday Eve
| The Editor and all others who re-
meInbered me at Christmas, whom
| have not thanked before, thank now
Best wishes to all,

AUNT MARY'S VIEWS OF CHILD
MANAGEMENT.

Dear Social Corner Friends think
We were all very glad to hear a cackle
from Biddy. l for one had missed her
interesting letters. l agree with her
perfectly in the idea Of governing
children without corporal punishment.
In the first place no mother is capable
OF properly governing a child until she
cam govern her own self, which it is a
hard thing to do without the grace of
God in sthe heart.
Many times my heart has been sad
dened by seeing an angry mother pun
ish a child that was entirely innocent
of meaning to do wrong. The dear
little ones have SO much to learn and
are SO eager to find out all of the
mysteries of life that come in their
way that they often do things that we
had rather they would not, but how
cruel to punish them when they had
no idea of doing wrong, but thought
perhaps they were helping mother If
we will only cultivate the grace of pa
thence and ask God to help US to let
it have its perfect growth in our
hearts we may hope to be able to
teachrthe children to do right.
We have to begin with the child
when very young to say what we mean
and mean what we say. There is nc
ileGu VI IdlSllueSSJ UuI always 1lIUIl6SS
When it is best to say no have it al
ways understood that you mean No
and that no amount of teasing viii
change it.
The little ones can very early bt
taught to be helpful in a way that viii
| be a pleasure to them instead of {
task. Even if it does hinder to show
/ them how to do things, you want then
| to learn how to do properly it will pay
as the yea1G-go by.
| Those young love their homes the mos
and honor their parnets the most b!
their noble characters and clean live!
are those who in their childhood day!
are taught by example and precept II
be helpful and faithful in the littl,
| every day duties Of life, ! and have
proper regard for the rights of others
. The Man Who Talks says THAT
mans heart is in any cause he stands
! for it at any cost. If we early teacl
our children to be careful to do RICH
and have a proper regard for tn
rights Of others and ever be truthful
and orderly in their conduct becaus
God asks and expects them to be SO
| there is not much danger of their be
| coming disorderly lawbreakers in afte
life.
The early teachings of childhood wi
SO influence them that they will be
power for good in the world instead o
a menace to good order.
Good wishes for all Social Corne
friends.

STRIVE, WAIT AND PRAY

Will not fade when you think to grasp

And melt in your hand away.
But another and holier treasure,
You would Tow perchnnce disdain,

And pay you for all your pain.
Walt yet l do not tell you
The hour YOU long for row

And a shadow upon its brow;
Yet far through the misty future,
With a crown Of starry light
An hour Of JOY you know not
Is winEins its silent flight
PRAY. though the gifts you ask for
MAY never comfort your fears,
MAY never repay your pleading.
Yet pray, with hopeful ears.
An answer, not that you long for,
But diviner, will come some day,
Your eyes drc too dim to see it,
Yet strive. and wait ADD pray.

FARMERS BLAME MIDDLEMEN FOR
 MILK TROUBLE

New York. Jan. 3-The Dairymen's League issued a statement today plac- ing on middlemen the blame for the milk situation which, in relation to high prices, is under investigation here.
 The farmer on one side receives too little for his product and the con sumer on the other pays too much" the statement said in part. Both parties conclude that the other is taking advantage when as a matter of fact it is the man in between, with his cumbersome and expensive sys- tm and his arbitrary methods, who Is the source of the trouble'
 The statement declares the situ1- tion cannot be adjustment "until the consumer and the farmer can work out some system and plan whereby they can get closer together" There are many men in the milk business who are making fortunes which come both out of the consumer and the producer" it asserts, by increasing

THE DUTCHBsS OF BRABANT

Genevieve, Duchess of Brabant, was born in 700. and later married siegfried. In 732 her husband was called to the field by Charles Martel, his king, and left his wife in care of Colo, the captain of his castle Colo loved Genevieve, who repulsed him and in revenge he informed the duke that Genevieve had been un- faithful to him. Siegfried. having confidence in Colo, ordered his wife killed, but the servants who were to execute the order had compass sion on their mistress and left her in the woods. Here a doe is said to have supplied her with milk for the child which she had borne. The an- imal. so the story goes. accompanied her for years. Then one day, in 757, Siegfriend went hunting and came upon the doe, which fled to the cave where Genevieve and her child had made a home for themselves. Sieg- fried was amazed at finding his wife alive and, having forgiven her, took her to his castle.

ARMENIANS WERE KILLED BY TURKS

Paris, Jan 3-(Havas)-In giving details of the Armenian massacre In Turkey in the last five years, the Constantinople correspondent of the Petit Parisien says that at one time one hundred thousand Armentans were concentrated for alleged strate- gical reasons at Dorgor Arabia. The Turkish authorities in Constantinople thought the number was too high and gave orders that S0,0OO of the Ar menians be put out of the way.
 In the Mush Valley, the correspon- dent adds, the kurds robbed 2,000 Armenian women. Later, suSpecting that the women had swallowed their jewels, the Kurds killed them in horrible manner and burned the bod ies. The next day. the correspon- dent continues, these monsters quietly sifted the ashes seeking the jewels" The correspondent reports that in the same region seven thou sand children between three and ten years of age died of starvation and one hundred women were buried alive in trenches which the Turks first forced them to dig.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY

Six years ago today, Jan. 3. 1912, Capt. Robert F. Scott, the eminent explorer, set out on his perilous journey with the South Pole as his goal. Nothing was heard of him af- ter that until his dead body, with those of his companions, were found in the frozen regions. His last mes sage was the expression of a deter imitation to remain in the antractic regions until his mission had been accomplished. It was the Terra Nova, relief ship which was sent out to find him after a long silence, which finally effected the finding of his body. The brave captain died almost within sight of his goal, which was reached by another, Roald Mundsen, while Scott was delayed through sick ness and the death of some of his companions. Captain Scotts fate will always remain one of the most tragic episodes, in the anna;s or ex- ploratiOn,

SAILOR KISSES
 BLARNEY STONE

London, Jan. 3-Peter Mcclure, sometime of San Francisco, now of the United States Navy, imperiIled his neck for the right to aeIl his ad- miring friends at home, I've kissed the Blarney Stone" Mcclure was a member of a party of American sailors conducted by the Young Mems Christian Association to Blarney Gas tie
 Its a bit of a drop,' said Pete after he had climbed to the top of the castle wall and looked down sheer one hundred and ten feet. Its by way of adding little sport to the game"
 Pete watched other Yankee blue jackets kiss the Blarney Stone. The approved method is for strong man to grasp the candidates left leg and arm, while another grasps his right leg and arm, then they swing him out over the abyss as far as they can reach and let the intrepid one bounce his nose against the scarcely attainable rock, call it kiss and let 1t go at that.
 Not so Mcclure. He knew he  could reach out over the ledge ana kiss the Blarney Stone across the way without assistance. As he had almost attained his goal, he lost his balance, and started down the one hundred and ten feet straight through the air.
 The keeper descended by a safer route, intending to pick up he dead American sailor. What he saw was Mcclure rubbing himself and point ing heavenward with sort of sheep ish grin.
 The keeper saw where Mcclure. after falling sixty feet hit we'll out on a tree limb and brokwe 1t off. Be- low that was another bough to which he had caromeG and below still an- other, also breaking the fall that the last drop of fifteen feet was very minor.
 The custodian became very angry
