currence at night when these boys
ought to be at home, when their par
ents ought to be able to know they
are at home.
II may be that we think of the long
ago with the proverbial enchantment,
but the long ago did not produce as
many rogues among boys and young
men as we have to deal with in the
present day. The rogues are not
strangers. They are home boys, men,
! bers Of families that live within the
city of Cordele. They are constant,
| systematic rOgues. They steal and
are caught, and they steal again. They
/ forge checks and are caught and for
re check again. They commit crime
after crime, and if there is any change
at all, it is for the worse If you are
a business man and have to deal with
them, you will have to admit this is
true. Put one of them in any place of
trust, and he will get away with
goods or money all the time. Even in
automobile garages where they are
employed, many of them steal parts
and supplies so fast that they are al
ways without employment, drifting
and working working long enough to
prove their lack of character, to pass
| on to another place
One of the worst habits imaginable
has developed among business men
with regard to handling these young
roguea. Rather than offend a kinsman
or wound a mothers feeling, or break
hopeful fathers heart, the man in
business passes the rogues on to some
other employment and says nothing.
There are boys in COrdele who have
been professional rogues ever since
they were large enough to carry on
The mischief and we venture the as
'a:t!on nlat their parents do not
know it.
The whole community ought to
know it, Parents in some cases have
serious problems on 1heir hands, for
these rogues are not going to quit
stealing. But this is warning. Falling
honesty is danger. These rogues are
not qualified to associate with the
boy who knows what honesty means
The home is the place for the regula-
ton of the wrongs children practice.
When the parent fails to keep close
touch with his boy while this appQll-
ing increase Of dishonesty goes an
and on, somebody is going to suffer.
The mother who cares for the
character of her boy will have tears
to shed plenty when she knows
what has been going on while her
back was turned. Somebody is head
ed for Jail and the chain gang. This
is not a Sunday School appeal for
Sunday School cannot save these
boys, The parents in dozens of homes
would do well to keep closer touch
with their boys. 1t is yet time to do
something, but the home is the place
Transformation must come and the
home can bring it about. Parents, it
is your move.

WHERE HOT POTATOES
 ARE WORTH TWO BITS

JUAREZ, Mexico, May 16 (by As sociated Press).-A baked potato costs 25 cents in the Ell PasO hotels. In Juarez they may be bought for a few centavos pound and baked over charcoal stoves. Mexican potatoes are grown by Chinese gardeners in the Madeira district of Western Chihua- hua, shipped here and then reshipped to Central Mexico. They sell here for less than half the price of American potatoes in Ell Paso, but the export duty prohibits their shipment to the United States.

Registered For War

Captain Allan deserted the Arctic last fall to come down and register for the military draft and was ready to get into uniform, but the signing of the armistice ended his chances of going to France. He then set out on the return journey to the Arctic. At Cordova he was quarantine five days and at Fairbanks had another ten days of the same treatment, be- cause of the influenza epidemic.
 There has never been a case of influenza in the interior districts of Alaska through which I travelled in going to and from the Arctic" he said. "There was 8 rumor that na- tives at Copper Center, fifty miles north of Chitina, had contracted tho malady, but later it was reported that 1t was not a case of influenza but of wood alcohol"

FURS SCARCE IN THE ARCTIC,
 THIS SEASON

Captain Alex Allan, the only man who has made the round trip oyer- land between the Arctic and civiliza- tion in one season, was a recent wis., itor to Cordova on. his return to the Interior after business trip to Seat tie. He has twice accomplished this feat. He did it in the winter season 1917-18 and repeated it this year.
 In speaking of the missing schooner Teddy Bear and her master, Captain Joe Bernard, of Nome, Allan said:
 Captain Bernard set out in 1916 to make the Northwest Passage, trav- cling from west to east. Nothing has been heard of him for more than a year, but that causes no alarm in the Arctic. He was at Three River, sev- enty-five miles east of Copper Mine River, when he was last reported.
 Unless misfortune has befallen him, he is continuing his eastward fight through the Northwest Passage to Hudson Bay and thence to the At lantic. If all goes we'll, I expect that Joe will arrive on the Atlantic next October, thus duplicating Amund sens great feat of several years ago. Amundsen, however, sailed from east to west. l was shipmate with Joe in the Arctic back in 1902 and I have every confidence in his ability to sail into the Atlantic"
