BAIT

The democratic and that section OF
the republican press which is now adj
vocating the Kaiser's policies for A.
mlerlca are putting up a fight for
compulsory miiRary training. The
lclaim Is that it promotes health,
teaches Americanism and le1'.ls class
distinctions. We do not want 10 dis
cuss at length the claims of Germany
in that tAhaf. IN briefg lhlowever
they were that universal military
training promoted health. taught
Gesmahism, and democratized the

and sacrificed the lives of $4,000
splendid young Americans, spent
thirty billions. and disrupted the af-
fairs of the country to put it down
and make the world safe for demo-
cracy.
But in regard to health the thot
may occur that billion and half a
year may be rather an expensive
way of keeping the boys healthy
when there are lots of lawns to NOW,
fields to work, gardens to make and
several other useful and productive
empIoyments which might be equally
as healthy as the goose step. As to
AmeridaniSm, there are several
people yet living who agree with
Thomas Jefferson that the best way
TO destroy a healthy and universal
patriotism is by the military route.
As to leveRing class distinctions
that is fudny, if not silly. We heard
much Of this rot during the war. The
drafted man was to dance with the
generals daugters. and conscript A.
Il-44 was to be invited to dinner
with the coloneI's family, That sound
ed fine, and there were actually
shoals of benevoent and trusting
"simps" who believed it. IF you hive
any doubt about it now. suppose you
ask any drafted man how many gen
erals daughters he danced with and
how often his colonel invited him to
dinner. OF course the whole. thing is
rot. The newspapers publishing il
know it is not true. And it is only

KGS TRAFFIC MAN MAKES STAT
Il is necessary that coal shall be
used for essential purposes. Public
utilities consuming coal should discon
tinbe TO furnish power, heat, and
light to non-esselntiaI industries and
should only consume sufficient coal
to produce enough light, power and
heat to meet the actual urgent needs
of the people. Advertising signs and
displays of various kinds necessitat-
ing the use Of coal should be curtail-
ed and no coal should be distributed
for such purposes. Pursuant TO this
policy, | have requested the Railroad
Administration in the distribution of
coal now or hereafter in its possess
ion to limit distribution to these es-
sentialand urgent uses as far as prac-
ticable until conditions warrant a
change. The distribution Of coal will
be limited to the first five classes of

Teach Children to Love
Plants and Animals
By DR.. LH. Francis.

Every child should have something
upon which to lavish his affections;
Otherwise they will weaken. for al
fections, Ike bther traits, must live
and grow by exercise. Notice the little
girl with her doll or the boy with
his hobby horse. While inanimaa, OBJ
iects represent life land hence hold
the attention of childrlen living things
are far more interesting to them and
offer greater possibilities for dsaching
sane and wholesome lessons. A cer-
sain small boy who had several rl,t
hens, gladly brot their little chick
ems into the house and cared for
them by the ors,n fire during an un-
timely spring snowstorm. Another
small boy habitually spent his Satur-
day mornings caring for his guinea
pigs, while his brothers and friends
were playing. With tEis toy the child
expresses what he already knows and
is; but with the living thing he dis
covers himself and tEl. life about him.
The ignorance Of children, and
adults, too lof the simplest most or
.dinary facts of nature about them. is
unnecessary and o'apIorable. We have
been taught 10 memorize facts from
books rather than to discover and ap-
preciate them.
Giyle to the child some living thing
that is his own to know, to love, and
to care for. Some will find greatest
delight in animals, such as ponies.
pigs, dogs. cats, chickens rabbits fish
etc. Plant life however will interest
many children more than we suspect,
if they are allowed to plant and cul-
tivate their own gardens. The lessons
to be learned from either plant or am
NAL Iile are 50 varied and important
that every parent should take advan-
ltage of the opportunity and give to
each child some living thing to care
for study and love.
