EMINENT SCIENTIST
ENDORSES METRICS.

San Francisco, Nov. 28 Luther
Burbank. the Plant Wizard. has COM
mended the World Trade Clubs eff
forts toward metric Standardization. In
a recent letter he says: THE metric
SYSTEM. if adopted by the whole world,
will. without doubt. simplify the sci-
ence of weights and measures beyond
computation"
Luther Burbank's applause is echo
ed by thinking men the world over.
Manufacturers. physicians. chemists,
scientists. educatOra exporters and im-
porters, merchants, ministers, food
growers, workers in every way, indivi-
dually and thru their organizations,
are petitioning legislators for this ad-
vance to world standardized weights

Washington, Nov u Former Sem
ator Charles Dick of Akron, Ohio
Mark Hannas successor in the United
States Senate and still an influential
figure in Ohio politics is reported on
good authority to be ''the most dis
gusted man in Washington"
He has been here for some weeks
trying, on behalf of certain American
manufacturers and exporters. to per-
suade the State Department. to permit
American goods to be sold for cash in
Bolshevist Russia.
Not that Senator Dick is a lover of
Bolshevism. On the contrary. history
must record him as a stand-patter of
stand-patters, the author of the Dick
military law" life long exponent Of
business. But when American manu-
factdrers find themselves shut out Of
an immens cash market-said to be
the only cash market left in Europe
for no good reason which they can see
except the apparent necessity on the
part of the administration to save Its
face" in the Russian fiasco, Senator
Dick rises up to demand reasons why.
Hence the sharp query thrust at the
State Department last week by Senator
Wadsworth of New York as to just
why American business men were not
allowed to sell goods for cash to Rus
sia. This query. it will be recalled,
drew from assistant secretary William
Phillips the naive reply that the State
Department was unwilling to permit
Americans to sell to Russians because
it would bring into this country a
FLOOD Of Bolshevist gold which would
be used for Bolshevist propaganda"
In. other words, this can only mean,
if it means anything, that the Ameri-
can manufacturers who sell their
goods to Russia and receive 'Bolshe-
visit gold" for it are likely TO turn a.
round and spend it for "Bolshevisl
propaganda"
The ineptness of this reply is moi

RESPECT FOR THE
CHILD'S POSSESSIONS
By Helena wilson

Its no wonder flIat drrrins infancy
and early chiIdRood Efe's lessons are
so difficult for the small beginner
when the laws which govern them
must seem to him just or unjust, con-
sistent or Inconsistent, according to
the knowledge or the caprice of the
adult administering them.
One bf the first lessons which the
little child should learn is the proper
care of his own possessions and re-
spect for those of others, and a mother
has the first opportunity to inculcate
this important life lesson.
Since one of the strongest instincts
of the child is to initiate, there seems
no more logical way to teach this les
son than by example. If a mother
teaches her child not to touch the
articles on her desk or dressing table
without her permission. then has she
the right TO dispose of his toys with
out his permission?
The writr recalls an instance
where a mother secretly put away a
doll which had been given to her little

up severe attack upon the admins

editorial, discussing the carnival of

cord says:
Take for instance. Secretary Bak-
er. A House committee wanted to
know from him why American troops
were being kept in Siberia, and under
what authority. That's all bunk" de-
clared Representative Fuller, after the
Secretary had given number Of rea-
sons. Why not tell us the real reason2'
Mr. Baker did not answer that, but he
undertook to say that it was none of
the business Of Congress to know
where the troops were. The President
could send them anywhere he pleasedl
Yet, in other days, when the Constltu-
ton was the law of the land and obey
ed even by executive officers, it used
to be thot that American troops could
not be sent to fight foreign nations un-
less Congress first declared war a.

feeds. They realize that it isn't poss-
ible to take fertility out of the soil
without putting fertility back into the
soil. They plant alfalfa having in
mind more the enrichment of the soil
than the feeding of dairy COWS. The
purpose of all the farmers that we saw
was to make the land richer this year
than last year. No manure goes 10

sidered from an agricultural stand
point.
In Wisconsin man and his son, a

100 acres Of land and will take care Of
a dairy herd of go or 20 head of cat

talfs for their silos, for in Wisconsin

be no farming in Wisconsin without a

where there was no silo.

Oil Well Work By
February IL, Required

Rumor based on quite reliable au-
thority has it that oil well operations
on the Mona Mills tract must COM
mence not later than February II. and
must be completed within a reason
able time thereafter. Three wells are
projected, and it is stated that one
lease comprises nearly forty sections
of land. 1t is said that nearly all the
land in Vernon Parish is now under
lease. and there are good indications
that active work will be commenced
early in 1920.

Show, the first part of October mas is
sued statement in regard to same
which we are very glad to give out 10
the dairy farmers of the State.
We believe that a statement Of this
kind coming from Mr.. Harris should
be of great value to dairying in the
State and should give those interested
in it new enthusiasm and courage in
the promotion of this. great industry
In Louisiana.
The following is the statement is
sued by Mr.. Harris;
Recently about sixty or seventy men
visited certain points in Illinois and
Wisconsin. These people represented
louisiana and Mississippi. 1t was my
good fortune to be a member of this
party and have been requested to
make few statements upon this oc-
casion about the prosperity which we
observed in Wisconsin.
The people in the rural districts Of
Wisconsin represent prosperity and the
most of them are practical dairymen.

so, why2

Another common way of Disregard
ing children's rights is to force them
to give up yome new or much priced
possession. For example, little girl
of six, who was delighted with the
gift of dolls fan, was Obliged by
her mother to hand it to her scream-
ing baby in order to quiet him. In
his excitement he soon crushed the
tiny toy. his screams increased. and
his little sister was broken-hearted!
Nor had the unjust and short-sighted
mother saved the scene" which she
had hoped to avert.
En each of these cases the child
should have been consulted and her
permission given before the mother
disposed of the plaything. In this way
the mother could have explained the
reasons for her own action, and the
child in her turn, would have had an
opportunity of expressing herself,
habit which should be encouraged.
Then, too, personal responsibility for
her possessions and the recognition of
the right of ownership would have en-
Iphasized the difference between mine

There is no better way to create
Ihabits of orderliness and sense of
responsibility than by giving the child
IA place for keeping his playthings and
then allowing him full control of these
possessions.

how to take care of his toys. how to

There is a bill pending before our

we should guard with constant jeal-

Furthermore, there is no need of
