just as the Twig is Bent"

Asked to define the years of edu-
cation we should probably, without
giving much thought to the question,
place the earlier limit at six years,
the age when the child generally
enters public school,
Further thought will not bear out
this assertion. The first six years of
a child's life are all-important TO his
education. During these his habits Of
thought and conduct are established,
and his happiness and success in life
are either assured or made difficult
of attainment.
The child trained to self control
and obedience has advanced a long
way on his preparation for life. He
accustoms. himself readily to the rou-
tine of the schoolroom, and learns
easily to concentrate his mind OH
study. In other words, he is preparing
to gain the greatest advantage from
his school work.
The child used to over-indulgence
the spoiled child''-is handicap
ped from the start. 1t will require
time to overcome the lack of train
ing--if indeed it can be overcome
and to fit him to, the conditions of
life.
Our little citizens-in-the-making
deserve the hest possible introduction
to life and education. And this can
only come to them by instilling into
them in their early years submission
to the laws of well-regulated home.

WRITES UNCLE
Recently Visited the Home of Joan
of Arc. Says it Sure is Great
Place
WOULDN'T CARE TO
LIVE IN FRANCE
Says There Has Not Been Much
Hunting Since Nov. IL. Only
They Have Shot Few Wild
Bears


Dear Uncle:-I received your
most welcome letter the other day
and sure was glad to hear from you
and that all is we'll, which leaves me
fine and dandy, only wait for the
day to sail home, but don't think it
will be very soon, as I think we are
hooks, as the boys say. Probably
will be July before we get home, but
we can stand it alright as long as
the big noise is all over with. It's
quite change over here since Nov.
IL. You could hardly believe that
there ever was war over here,
everything is so quiet. Peace is all
, the talk; the only thing we are
waiting for is to have them settle it.
Can not say that would like to
live in this country as things are SO
much different than in our country
Not much hunting over here since
the 18th of November. They hunt
wild boars around here, the real
ones too. / have seen a few Of them
they shot.
have not seen very much of the
boys from home lately, only Emmett
Mcconnell. he is fine, saw him the
other day for few minutes. We are
located about two miles from Con-
der Court in little village not very
large. Have been here almost Z
weeks.
l see by the paper that the flu has
been very bad over there. 1t was
around here, but not very bad, the
boys all stood it, fine.
jim Keck sure was lucky to get
home so quick. He never came across
the channel ] guess. We did not stay
very long in England, but had quite
a bit of experience the short time
We stayed there.
Well times are hard in the count
ry. It's very hard to buy anything for
they haven't anything to sell only
toilet articles, lots of that. We are
only short ways from the home of
Joan of Arc. I was over there a few
Sundays ago. 1t sure is quite place.
Yes 1 do hope that We can have a
few good old talks in the near future
as Sherman said war is hell.
Well news is scarce and my time
is limited, as my candle is getting
low, as that is all the light we have
here. So hoping to hear from you
soon, / am as ever,
Your nephew,
ED. KEEFE.

ElkS Had BIG Time.

One of the biggest and most en-
joyable dances of the season was
given at Haugen's hall last Monday
evening, put on by the DEBORAH lodge
of Elks. A big crowd was in attend
ance and all voted the Elks capital
entertainers.
The Elks furnished each dancer,
men and women with paper hats.
The gents hats each had nifty Elk
on top as an ornament and paper
flowers adorned the women's hats.
At 1880 the dancers were showered
with confetti and paper ribbons were
strung about the room giving a most
pleasing effect. Taken all in all it
was one of the best dances in years,
and Helwig's orchestra furnished
most enjoyable music.

"And you are charged with crime
that merits a long term in the peni-
'tentary?"
Yes SIR"
"And you are guilty of the crime?"
Il am"
"And you ask for no mercy?"
mo, SIR"
You have had a great deal of
trouble within the last two years."
Eyes, sir, have"
"You have often wished that you
We're dead?"
Il have, please your honor"
"You wanted to steal enough mon
ey to take you away from this city,"
"You are right Judge"
eff man had stepped up and shot
you just as you entered the store, you
would have said, Thank you, sir?'
Eyes, sir, would. But judge,
how did you fil.d out so much about
'me?"
Some time ago." said the judge,
with solemn air, Il was divorced
from my wife. Shortly afterward you
married her. The result is conclusive.
I discharge you. Here, take this fifty
dollar bill You have suffered
enough"

Werham and Carl Vaala attended the
p. w. Young Poland China Hog sale
at Prosper, Mimi, Feb. 9TH, where
Mr.. Magnus purchased two of the
best gifts of the sale, one being a
litter sister to the top gilt purchased
by j.. d. Mcdowell for $475. A two
year old sow Miss Wonder B. sired
by Orange Wonder was the top SOW
at $3.50. This sow is half sister to
NJ. p, Lydon's two "Orange Wonder
sows", Cresco Star and Cresco Bell,
pair of gifts sold by Lydon and
Magnus in their Oct. sale for $40.
This looks as if it some times pays
to buy at home and to buy your
brood sows early. Fifty head were
sold in this sale at an average of
about 1910 each and both Mr.. Young
and the big crowd were we'll pleased.

MEMORIAL FOR SOLDIERS.
Memorial Plan is to
Take Subscriptions of I, 2, 3,
4 or ) cents Weekly For
Five Years

A town meeting was called to con-
sons Of Catasauqua who served in the
war should take. The meeting hall
was crowded, and no New England
town meeting had ever been more
representative. Bankers and iron
workers, preachers and puddlers
from the furnaces, cement burners
and laborers, mingled with women
who had rolled bandatges for the Red
Cross and thought of sons across the
sea. The question was propounded
for discussion: Shall We have q
monument or memorial house
which will be real community CEN
ter?" and the memorial house won
by majority so large that the voters
for the monument were not even
counted.
This is the plan they will follow:
Every man, woman and child in the
community is asked to become
SNARE uoIucI III lhc 4dciiOi idl ooSitOs
by making a subscription of 1, 2, 8,
4 or cents weekly for a period Of
five years. With this they will build
house costing in the neighborhood
of 1925, 200, containing an audi
forum, recreation rooms, gymnas-
.ium, and a swimming pool. There
will also be a room for permanent
records of the war with a bronze
tablet containing the roster of SOL
der sons. 1t will be managed by n
board of governors chosen by the
subscribers, and the property Will
be held by board oftrustees chosen
for life. 1t is proposed to make it
the center of the community life in
every way. The auditorium will have
gatherings where every public ques-
ton may be discussed. Here also on
Thanksgiving day or on other nation
al occasions the churches of the COM
munity will gather for united wor-
ship. Catasauqua was founded by
Welsh ironworkers, and the Welsh
love of music has not died from the
hearts of their descendants, so that
it would be strange if an eisteddfoi
were not occasionally held there. Lee
ture courses Of all sorts have a place
in the plan. The gymnasium will az
ford facilities for dances Of better
type than those found in the usual
dance halls. But most of all it will
be a place peculiarly for a soldier who
comes back, where he can gather
with his comrads and recount the
tale that America will never tire OF
hearimg-of Chateau Thierry and the
Argonne. This place will be MIS-
erected in his honor, and because II
is his and because he and his COM
rades are naturally going to lead the
community in the coming years, just
as his grandfather did after he came
from the civil war, so more and more
the community life will center about
the Memorial House.
-Catasauqua might have innicted
another monstrosity on the world
but instead it has given a breeding
place for a better and more intelli-
gent democracy. And what better
memorial could there be to the men
who made the world safe for democ-
,ca,,o TIL Outlook
