PARENTAL DEVOTION
BY e. M. Underhill.

Why is it that so many Of our
naugttiest children belong to par
ents who are devoted to them and
who gladly make personal sacrifices
for their little onesf Surely parental
devotion is a common virtue, yet the
number Of spoiled children whom we
all have encountered leads us to
wonder whether some people have
not a mistaken idea of what consti-
tutes parental devotion. Have the
parents of such children an honest
desire to develop the best in them
and an interest to study and apply
good material on child trainingf
There is the parent, for instance,
whose child is never forced to do
anything he doesn't want to do from
going to Sunday school to washing
his hands. This is the child who
later develops into the little monster
who will argue every simple request
or command ad nauseam, and when
he grows up is able to reason himself
into a righteous frame Of mind over
any law he may see fit to disregard.
Parents of such a child fail to real
i.c that to teach him first to obey
Immediately, unquestionably and alb
solutely is the most valuable train
ing they can give him and the best
preparation for useful career.
No parent should have to go
through hours of coaxing and dis
cussion over the habitual activities
Of the child's day such as getting
up in the morning, going to bed,
dressing, eating, putting playthings
away, performing household duties,
etc. But many Of them do, until the
continual reasoning Tor nagging)
wears out both parties to the argu-
ment and everybody else as we'll
Early in life the child should be

The jealousy Of town girl isn't
as serious as the jealousy with a
country girl; a broken heart to a
country girl means more, as eligible
young men are scarcer. Recently a
gentle girl living on the Wild Cat
road, who had follower, had rea-
sons to be jealous, and people Won
dered how she would take it. Some
thought she would pine away end
develop cough; others thought she
would simply refuse to ever again
speak to her follower, and when he
innocently asked, ''Why Jennie, what
in tho world is the matterf" she
would reply, 20, nothing" 4.
Byt what she really did was sur
prise to all of us. When she met the
girl her follower had been too free

taught to consider those personal
duties as facts to be accepted and
acted upon.
Then, again, there is the mother.
II usually is the mother who is over
anxious for the expansion Of her
child's personality; she wants him
to learn to do by doing and she fails
to realize that his personality may
be expanding to the great discom-
fort Of friends and neighbors. Such
a mother has a mistaken sense of
devotion to her child and is doing
him grave wrong in failing to
teach him one of the most important
Of lessons and the first essential of
good citizenship, i. e., respect Of
the rights, property and comfort of
others.
If, for example, his development
results in the destruction of the best
table cloth, or of his playmates'
toys, or the enamel on the visitors
motor. his mother remarks that
"Reginald was just finding out. He
is so curious to know about every
thing. Come, Dear, and say that it
was a mistake and you are sorry."'
So Reginald says it was an easy
sorrow that pops glibly. by long
practice, from his lips, and he con-
tinues to pursue his destructive way
wardness with the surety that if he
says he is sorry when mother tells
him to, all will be well and the help
less and outraged will be silent. That
is the same child who will expect to
be forgiven in later years no matter
what his misdeeds, if only be ex-
presses his sorrow for the outward
consequences of his fun, after he
has had it.
Let us go to the best educators for
advice and counsel in bringing up
our children; but let us be sure that
we really understand and apply their

CLOTHING BAGS
INCREASE SALES
Business at the Goodfeilcws' Friday
Afternoon Sales Were Hundred
Per Cent Bigger Than
Usual.

Friday afternoon sales at the Good
fellows shop in the library building
were increased one hundred per cent
last Friday afternoon, due to the new
method of collecting old clothes, which
Keokuk people are donating to this
organization, Miss Alice Hinkley of
Rock Hall Center, reported this morn.
ing.
Only four of the two dozen bags dis
tributed by the Kings Daughters were
collected for last week and the con-
tents of these four produced the hun
,dred per cent gain in the sales. This
still leaves twenty bags which are in
Keokuk homes at this time being
filed Enough of them will be col
lected at one time to accommodate the
needs of the Friday afternoon sale
and the others held in reserve. The
bags collected Will be distributed
again and thus kept in constant circu-
lation.
The committees in charge are con-
fident that the Friday afternoon sales,
which are held in the library building
for the purpose of furnishing people,
who need it, clothing at the lowest
possible price, will be well patroniZed
all winter now that the supply has
been increased The money from these
sales is turned over to Rock Hall
Center and used for community and
charity affairs there

Mrs. Fred Gresham of Cedar Rapids
is Soliciting Funds for the Colored
Girls Home in Iowa
City

Mrs. Fred Gresham of Cedar Rapids
is in Keokuk in the interest of the
home, which the colored women S
club of Iowa purchased in Iowa City
for the colored girls who are attend
ing the university there. The home
was purchased last year by the fedora
ton, and now there is a solicitation of
funds for the purpose of maintaining
the home.
Mrs. Gresham is asking the support
of citizens Of Keoku-s toward this
fund, she said today, and she felt that
she would get it. She spoke of the
response received last year when she
was securing funds for the purchase
of the home.
One thousand dollars must be raised
before January first to meet the pay
ments that are due.
Mrs. Gresham has the support of
Mrs. Aurner and President Jessup
of the state university in her work of
money-raising, and has letters from
them both.
