THE PROBLEM OF RUSSIA

the world situation. But how to turn
it? Western Europe is willing either

it must make peace and rely upon
time and the natural process of re-

Bolshevik Russia will continue to plCt
but she cannot do the hurt she is now
doing, and with peace there is hope
that the forces of intelligence and pro-

the Russian people.

DEMOCRATS DOUBTFUL

Although the interest in the demo
cratic convention at San Francisco
which starts next Monday is mild COM
pared with the republican convention
two weeks ago, great many poll
ticians are curious as to what the
democrats will do. The newspaper
dopesters are not as active in predict
ing what will happen at the bay city as
they were about Chicago. Bryan will
be a prominent leader and it is said
that he will lead an effort to put the
party on record in favor Of modified
ratification. Wilson will oppose him
on that score The eastern vets, led
by Gov Edwards of New Jersey, will
be met by Bryan's forces. Gov. Cox,
one of the leading candidates is ac-
cused of being wet and will probably
fall also under the Bryan AK. W. G..
McAdos stands the best chance at
present according to general news

mentioned in the west is that of E. T.

81 want to say a few words to the
farm boys and girls and the older
people need not bother to read it at
ALL" says f. T. Meredith secretary Of
agriculture.
Now, you and l know that the
boys and girls club work represents
one Of the most important lines of
agricultural activity in the United
States today. | believe it is import
ant, because it has such large posi-
bilties. We men and women who are
trying to improve farming and farm
life will be out Of the game when you
prime Of life. You have the advantage
Of us, because you are learning the
principles of good agriculture and
home making while you are still
young enough to learn to the best ad.
vantage, and to apply in a practical
way the knowledge thus gained
throughout your whole lives.
Even as boys and girls you are ac-
complshing more good than can be
measured The good that you will be
able to do will increase as you grow
older and, when you become full
grown men and women. you can sup
ply for the agricultural forces Of this
nation leadership such as the world
has never before known.
II congratulate the boys and girls
club members. And | would like to
ask favor Of the boys and girls who
are not members of the clubs. We are
trying, the United States department
of agriculture, the State agricultural
colleges, and a great many other
people, to make the farms of this
country more profitable and home life
on the farm more pleasant | wish the
rest Of you boys and girls would join
with those who are already members
Of the clubs and help us in accomplish
ing this great service for our common
country. 1t Is patriotic thing to do +;
and it is a service that can not be rem
dered by anybody except you boys and
girls.
"The year 1920 should be the big
gest year in the history of boys and
girls club work, and ! am confident
that it will be. The country Is facing
a difficult situation because so many
men have left the farms to work in the
city. The good that the club boys and
girls can do will help to overcome that
handicap and the club toys and girls
will do that kind of work this year II
may hearten you to know that many
of us here in the department of agri
culture look upon the boys and girls
clubs much as Caesar must have look
upon the Tenth Legion or Napoleon
upon the Old Guard. The other forces
may fail, but we know that we car

FATHERHooD, A PROFESSION
By Charles +. Powlison


We hear a great deal of the sanctity
of motherhood and Of the sacred re-
| spOnsibilities of the mother; but who
talks about the nobility Of fatherhood
and the wonderful privilege of being
a father? One would almost suppose
| that children had but one parent, or
that beyond the obligation of support,
a father owed nothing to his children.
AS matter of fact, just what does
he owe them?
In the first place, he owes them the
best possible inheritance Of health and
natural strength.
And having given his children a
healthy heritage, the father should
share with the mother the oversight
of their children's well-being. l know
- as everyone else does-hosts OF
fathers who not only fail to take any
responsibility about the children's
habits, but who actually, though un-
consciously, work against the mother
by giving surreptitiOus candy, by keep
ing the children up late to play with
them and thus make her work with
them more difficult. The result is that
Father is very popular, while Mother
is considered awful fussy."
On the mental side, the child, as he
grows older looks more and more to
his father. Wise is the father who
takes an active interest in current
events or allies himself on the side of
local civic Improvement, for through
his example his children naturally ac-
Quire love of good citizenship.
And on the moral and religious side,
how often is Father a mere figure
head in his own family? Usually it is
Mother who represents the moral law,
or, if Father does take a hand, it is
merely as the executor of her decreed
punishment. Wait till your Father
comes home." is either an empty
threat, or, in rarer cases, phrase-fll-
: ed with terror for the small rebel.
Too often church attendance is left
entirely to the women. The children
see Mother start off alone for church.
while Father remains at home to read
his paper. The notion that church is
a woman's affair is formed so nat
urally that, later in life, it seems an
| instinct.
How much children miss, how much
fathers miss, by this one-sided parent
hood. Happy the boy who looks up
to his father as an ideal of bodily Wig
or, wisdom and goodness. And this
does not mean that Father must stand
on a pedestal. Far from it! Anyone
who has read the charming letters Of
Theodore Roosevelt to his children
sees, as in a mirror, the picture of a
father Utterly devoted to his children.
and utterly adored in return. Wheth-
er he is leaping from haymow to
haymow in wild game Of tag or read
ing aloud with his children gathered
around him, he is always their chosen

THE CROWS NEST

About this time of the year it is in
order to make some comment on the
matter of trimming OF trees along our
sidewalks. It is mentioned very often
but it takes time to get action. The
foliage of the trees is very heavy this
year and the lower branches, especial
ly after shower of rain, droop so
low in many places that one is
compelled to walk in a STOPPING posi-
tion much to his annoyance. 1t is
a nuisance to try to manage an open
umbrella under such conditions.
Property owners should see to II that
their street line trees are properly
! trimmed and this is the proper season
of the year in which to do 1t. 1t is a
good way to win the gratitude of ev-
cry pedestrian. If there is not an ord
ance requiring the trimming of suct
trees such one is as much need q
as that of cleaning snow off the &c
walks.
Another nuisance is the pistillate
cottonwood trees. Last week several
such trees shed so much cotton that
they became a serious public nuisance
We have such an abundance of trees
in the city now that most of our cot
