JOHN JORDAN WRITES
LETTER FROM FRANCE

Dinard, France, April 27, 1919.
Mr.. NJ. J. Mayes,
Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Dear Friend:
Am on my seven day furlough, 40
will try and write you = little about
my very pleasant vacation. Am in the
best of health, and hope yourself and
Mrs Mayes the same. Left my camp
on April 10Th 30 am not due back there
until May End. As we are allowed
about fourteen days, counting tho sew
en- day furlough and time spent travel
ing both ways. Left camp at 8:19 p.
N, April 10Th, and arrived in Paris
at 8 p. m. same day. And believe me
it is like dream to see Paris at night.
Everybody seemed to be happy. You
could hear songs, music and laughter
every where you went. We were taken
to the Hotel Du Pavilion from the sta
tion in truck, where we cleaned. up
and had good supper. 1 then rode
and walked until 1890 and then back
to the hotel to good bed and called
it the end Of 2 perfect day. was up
at 6 a. m, had breakfast and was of
again. Saw Notre Dame and Eiffcl
tower and several of the buildings that
were bombed. Walked along the Seine
river and Champs de Eylessess and saw
all kinds Of cannons that had been
captured during the war. And was
sure tired when I caught the 7.32 p. m.
train for the St. Malo Leave Area.
One to three days il the length Of
time you are allowed in Paris. I had
an all night train ride, in third class
wagon to St. Malo, arriving there at
$3.50 q. m. the next morning. There
are several thousand soldiers here on
their leave. 1t is sure beautiful here.
There are several cities close together,
all with a population Of from nine to
twelve thousand inhabitants. I am
quartered across the Rance river and
bay from st. Malo at Dinard. Dinard

in feeding value as well. It is usually
advisable to have some other stock In
the pastures with the hogs to eat the
coarser plants. Cattle are best suited
for this purpose.
1t is impossible to state how many
animals per acre will be supported by
a permanent pasture. In most cases
1t is advisable to have some Of the
best supplementary forage crops to
Craze in addition to the pasture. A
safe rule is to have at least one acre
Of good permanent pasture for each
brood sow kept. OF course this acre
age could be reduced or the number
of hogs increased where a complete
succession of supplementary forage
crops is raised or where the land is
very productive. A greater area should
be allowed if the grazing is poor.

The Importance of having a good
permanent pasture for hogs can hard,
ly be overestimated. In many hog,
producing localities no other green
forage is used than that furnished by
grass or grass and clover pastures,
The advantage of not having to go to
the expense Of frequently preparing
and seeding the land appeals to most
farmers.
Hogs do not relish grasses except
when the leaves are young and ten,

allowed to mature they not only be-

KINDERGARTEN HELPS
MOTHERS WITH LITTLE ONES
(By Sarah A. Marble)

In talking about the kindergarte 20
with mothers, 1 often meet with re-
sponses like these: "Oh, 1 couldn t
send Freddie; he behaves so badly"
or az don't think want to send Dora;
she's gentle and obedient now, but
I'm afraid she'd get rough mixing with
all those children"
What is the matteri
Freddie 3 mother is quiet, orderly,
middle-aged woman who wants Freddie
to "play about quietly" or sit still
for hours at a time. She has either for
gotten her own childhood or else she
was naturally quiet and docile. And
Freddie's restless inquisitiveness, bis
desire for active self-expression, she
puts down as naughty" disobedient,
"bad.D
Freddie did come to kindergarten,
however, and his mother visited fire.
quently. She watched him giving
quiet, absorbed attention to the pi,-
lures, music and stories which were
presented by the teacher, and she OBJ
served that he had opportunities to ex-
press his own ideas actively, artistic
ally, musically and in other ways that
suited his needs. She saw his time di-
vided into periods of action and rest,
periods when concentration was de-
manded of him and periods when his
mind could relax. She was slow
thinking woman, but she could not
fail to notice how good and how happy
Freddie was in his new environment,
gradually she began to apply this new
method to Freddie's life at home.
kindergarten has taught her to see her
son as not naughty, but active, and
she and Freddie are both happier for
that revelation.
Dora also came to kindergarten, but
she proved not so gentle and obedient
as her mother had taught her. Dora,
I am compelled to say, was clever and
sly. She had learned how to win her
mothers approval, reserving better
moods for her presence, but she was
not popular with the other children; /;
q sly child never is. And whom Dora
went homo and wept over the cold re-
ception she had received, her mother

was naturally surprised and indignant
and started for the kindergarten forth
with to protest against such injustice.
She had expected her little daughter
to "show the other children how nice
little lady could act" she said. But
she soon had her revelation by seeing
for herself Dora g other side.
Dora's life at home has changed con
siderably since then, perhaps not for
Dora's immediate happiness, but GER
tainly for her good.
Between these two extremes there
are many other children, with qualities
good and bad which oftentimes their
mothers have misjudged just because
of the nearnes of their little ones to
them. If the child can be taken out of
his home environment for few hours
each day, It may remove him from
some source of annoyance or irritation
which has led to habits Of disobedience
or naughtiness. Putting him with
other average children Of his own age
such as are collected together in kim
dergarten will serve as the best cor
rective.
When mothers visit the kindergarten
and they are always welcome-they
sec their children there as they really
are. They observe that certain in
stincts are common to children four
and five years old, and they learn how
to guide those instincts. They notice
that their boys or girls have peculiar
traits which should be encouraged or
corrected, as the case may be. They
come to zee, in fact, how their children
match up with the average child, well
or i'll. And they see the results Of
good training in other children and are
thereby encouraged in their own en-
deavors. Almost invariably they learn
to be more patient and to try to gain
better understanding of their little
ones.

THE KINGSPORT PLAN

How Kinssport, Tenn, obviates labor troubles and
insures an ample labor supply is Interestingly and inspir-
ingly told in staff correspondence from Kingsport, pub
hshed in the news columns of the Manufacturers Record
of this week.
If all employers Of labor were a. enlightened and as
considerate in their treatment Of labor as those of Kings
port, there would be no justifiable occasion for discomfort.
resentment or strikes. What Kingsport is doing, therefore,
is of interest to all other industrial communities and an
object lesson which may well be studied everywhere.
AS related in the correspondence, a commemorative.

conditions and surroundings. already established. is being
expanded to take in every kind Of labor in Kinssport,

THE EXTRA SESSION

Governor Frazier, has announced his intention to call
an extra session Of the legislature to provide means for
the relief Of those in certain sections of the state who have
suffered from drouth. 1t goes without saying that wher-
ever in North Dakota citizens have been brought to the
verge of restitution by untoward and unusual natural
conditions, steps must be taken to care for their needs and
to help them over the hard places.
Presumably the governor ana his official advisers
have investigated the subject and found that the neces-
sary relief cannot be given under existing laws, and that
new legislation will be necessary before the state can act.
This being true. the calling of an extra session for this
purpose is not only excusable, but is a necessary thing
which should be put into effect at the earliest possible
moment. The situation in those sections whore the Gle
ments have been the least favorable will not admit Of de-
lay, and no consideration should be permitted to interfere
with prompt action.
1t may be proper to suggest that at this time at least
the preliminary steps might well be taken toward the
framing Of legislation which will confer on the state au-
thorities authority to act in cases Of this kind without the
delay, uncertainty and cost attendant on special sessions
and special legislation.
North Dakota ia q large state. with = wide variety
Of soil and climatic conditions. A MEASURE Of protection
against such things as hail and. fire can be provided
through some form Of insurance, state or private. Hut in
a state 50 large and so varied, it Is always possible that the
people will suffer from unfavorable conditions through
general conditions which can neither be foreseen nor
against in any OF the usual ways. ana In such
cases temporary measures Of relief are imperative. This
will become more and more marked as our pop
ulation increases in density. It seems that the LEGISLATORS
Of the state might well give careful consideration to plans
whereby temporary assistance in cases Of this kind may
be stven without the necessity for special legislative au-
thortty.

crease Of cost or both. In thia the telephone service diff
tsrs from every other form Of public service. It makes
patroniae the store al. which he trades. His convenience
and comfort are In no wfse affected by the dealings of
others. It makes no difference to him how many other
people travel on the railroad which he patsonizes. or how
many ship their freight over the same road. II there is
the proper contact between the selling agency or the
transportation company and the patron, the latter Is sat
ristted: He is not brought into contact with other patrons
In the telephone business all this is reversed. A tele-
phone line which merely connects the subscriber with the
cantral office is useless. The subscriber must be connect
ed with other subscribers. and the service Is valuable to
him just in so far as it places him in touch with other in
dtvtduals scattered throughout his city or district.
Under tho dual telephone system the residents OF
Grand Forks have been divided into two groups. the men,
bers OF each OF which have been able to talk to members
OF their own group. but not to the others. TO be in touch
individual to belong to both groups, that is. to pay for two
services where one would have answered. This has in
volved the cost of double telephone service in every bust
ness house. and in a good many Of the residences. occa-
sional calls over the other system were possible by going
to a neighbours house, often at ineonvenient hours. to tel
ephone. m.#.
Just prior to the decision Of the companies to consol-
idate their properties an effort was made to relieve condi-
tons which had become intoerable by providing for
physical connection between the two systems whereby
messages originating in one could be transferred to the
other. This would have been an Improvement over the
conditions which actually prevailed. but it would not have
removed the Inconvenience entirely, and it undoubtedly
would have been more costly in operation than the single
system is. The single system makes for the greatest con-
venience to the public, and for the greatest economy in
operation.
The fact that the telephone business must be a mo-
nopoly to be operated at it's highest efficiency places it in
a class by itself in the matter Of regulation. It is gener-
ally conceded that some form and some measure of regu-
lation by the public authorities are essential in very many
departments of public service. That railroads, elevators,
telegraph companies, and other concerns holding similar
relations to the public shall be under some form of public
supervision is no longer questioned. But in all of these
departments the competitive element, whether or not it
exists, is always a possibility without inconvenience to the
public. But in the telephone service competition on the
one hand and cost and Inconvenience on the other are in
separable. The nature of the business, therefore, calls,
II not for a different kind, at least for a different measure
of supervision in order that the rights of the public may
be protected.

MOB RULE

The street railway strike in Chicago, which in four
days resulted in the loss of a third of a million dollars
IN wages to the employed. in unestimated loss to the COM
panies, and in incalculable loss to the community, was
the work of u disorderly mob.
! One of the cardinal principles of all union labor is
that OF collective bargaining, and that principle is based
on facts whose existence and importance cannot be de-
MED. Where men are employed in thousands to perform
routine duties of the same nature there must .be uniform
rates of wages. uniform hours and uniform conditions
o. service It confusion is to be avoided. And in such cases
the individual enploye is powerless to secure the REM
eAy Of conditions which are unsatisfactory to him If he
makes the attempt alone. There must be group organ
tsation and group action.
The. Chicago negotiations seem to have been con-
ducted in an orderly way up to the point of declaring
the strike. The employees were agreed that certain con-
ditions should be changed. They appointed representa-
ttves to formulate their demands and place them before
.tAs employers. These representatives performed the
work for which they had been chosen. They met with
uation, and out Of this conference came an agreement in
which each side conceded something substantial, and
which the representatives Of the employees believed would
b satisfactory to their men. A meeting was called for
tbs purpose of receiving the report Of the delegates, and
Il was there that bedlam broke loose and anarchy as
serted itself. A noisy crowd in the meeting created such
q disturbance that the delegates could not present their
report, and, amid the shouts OF this elements the strike
WA declared on.
The act was a reputation Of one Of the fundamental
principles OF organized labor. Collective bargaining was
thrown into the discard. and a few individuals, without
bargaining. without negotiation. without orderly eonsid-
Grafton Of anything, plunged the people Of a great city
into turmoil and confusion.
The act Of that mob was repudiated when the vote,
which should have preceded the strike. was finally taken.
~ q result Of that vote the strike was agreed on in con-
fsfsrcs was accepted. and all persons interested pocketed
thsir. losses with such sraee a. they could summon.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH

Responsibility for the whole problem which we as
sociate with the color line is often laid at the door of the
negro. It is undeniable that the character and habits
OF many negroes leave much to be desired. But it is not
true that the negro is alone responsible. The negro has
q real grievance. and it is not at all strange that some
times his resentment is expressed in a somewhat en-
phatic form.
There are places Of considerable importance in the
south, where, Of course, the negro population is large.
where II q negro tenders more than his exact street rail-
way fare he gets no change back unless the conductor.
out of the goodness of his heart, chooses to give It to
him. In these places pocketing the nesros change is a
common and wel-recognized practice. and where 1t is
done the poor black is helpless. In communities where
the local sentiment has permitted this outrageous system
to prevail, no policeman would arrest a white man in the
complaint of a negro, and the testimony OF a negro
against a white man would count for nothing in a court
of justice.
Again, in such communities, the prevailing impress
sion is that a negro woman or a negro girl is always and
necessarily unchaste. That domestic virtue is often light
~ regarded in the lower strata of negro life is doubtless
true. 1t is equally true that undesirable conditions are
found among whites who live at about the same level.
But there is at least the presumption that the white girl
may be decent. In the communities referred to no such
presumption exists in favor OF the colored girl. Her
character may be of the highest, and she may be making
an almost superhuman effort to live decently. respectfully
and industriously. But the average white man in her
community takes it for granted that she is on a par with
the lowest. and resents any effort to maintain the con-
trary. -
These two illustrations will serve to indicate a state
Of affairs of which The Herald has had quito exact in
formation. These things do not aid in the solution Of
the problem, which would be grave enough without them.
II is apparent that some housekeeping is necessary
among the whites as well as among the blacks.
