. THE cHILD's RIGHT
TO HAPPINESS.

A man in middle life once wrot,
to his parents, II shall never cease
to be thankful for the happy boyhooc
which my father and mother gave me
IL is a treasure house of memories
more valuable than gold and silver.
Fathers sometimes forget that
children have the right to be happy al
home as well as at school. Let faith.
ers become the friends and compan.
| ions of their children, share in the
Sunday walks and talks. evening
| games and stories. help with studies
or take an interest in inspecting some
achievement The right relationship
between father and child will increase
when mothers cease to resort to the
fathers discipline and Punishment as
threat for disobedience Any man
prefers to work and sacrifice for an
affectionate, conhding child than for
one who has been led to consider him
harsh Judge and strict disciplinarian
Almost anything which a child can
claim as his very own, can protect
and care for will serve to develop his
affections, and increase his sense of
responsibility and self-respect A dog,
a cat, rabbits, guinea pigs, pets of
any kind are a source of JOY to any
child for it takes very little to make
healthy children happy.
Playmates are helpful in adding Joy
to the child's life, and an only child
should frequently have playmates.
Little friends should be invited to the
home and the child encouraged to
share his toys with them. Every child,
too, should have the opportunity to go
to the social kindergarten for in its
democratic atmosphere, little people
of all types come together. The over
INDUCED, the neglected, the shy and
the backward all meet on common
ground and learn adaptability and
self control in their happy activities.
There is nothing which a boy de-
spises more than ildeness and mac
tivity. On the other hand, toll and
fatigue, day after day stunt growth
and take the joy out of life. A certain
farmer once complained that the
school enticed all his children away
from the old farm. Upon inquiry, it
was found that he assigned useless
tasks on rainy days to keep them busy
and that they never had any time
for play or recreation. The leisure
and the companionship of the school
were the only relief from drudgery
which those children ever knew, and
only through compulsory attendance
laws was that relief insured Them
"All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy" On the other hand, all
play and no work is the curse of the
rich mans son.
Every child finds satisfaction in
work for which re receives pay. So
called projects from which he derives
an income and for which he is re-
sponsible, give him a taste for work
and develop an appreciation for the
value of money. I'll pay you back !
when we get some" whispered self /
respecting son of nine as he watched ,
his father pay the family carfares one
Sunday morning. A smile crept over
the kindly face of the father as he re-
piled, mo indeed, Sonny"
Both city and country children have
opportunities to earn money. Though
A farm may be the graveyard of talent
It is the best place to spend ones
childhood if life there is coupled with
good school advantages

Maintenance Costs Uncertain.

Railroad men are prepared to press
the issue as to amounts to be allowed
for maintenance of property in making
the new determinations Under Gov.
eminent control maintenance expens-
es have been kept to the pre-war level
and many railroad xecutives are OF
the opinion that this has resulted in
large amount of deferred mainten-
ance that must be met
One of the most important of the
questions to be determined by the
commission, is the method by which
they will determine the total value
of railroad property according to a
suggestion made to-day by Repres-
entative Esch (Wis.) chairman of the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Commission, who helped draft the
railroad law.

FREIGHT RATE IN
CREASE BY SEPT. |
Will Aggregate About $780,
100000 a Year in Additional
Revenue for r. r.

Washington, March 9.-Railroad
freight rates will be increased from 20
to 25 per cent September /, when the
financial provisions of the new rail-
road law become effective Practically
all estimates made by railway men
and Government authorities here on
the effect of the fixed return pro-
visions of the new law run between
these figures This means a general
freight rate increase that will ag-
gregate about 100000 900 a year in
additional revenue for the railroads.
Much has been printed recently
about the prospect of rate increase
now that the roads are back in pri-
vate control Statements have been
made that the railroads would ask in
creased rates, and that cases we're to
be heard by the Interstate Commerce
Commission probably resulting in in
creases.. Under the law it is not neces-
sary for the railroads to ask rate in
creases, and rate cases designed to
generally increase railroad revenues
are beside the question.
Present rates are continued until
September / and after that rates are
to be fixed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission on basis that will
give to the railroads return as near
as possible to so per cent. on the
aggregate value of property devoted
to the uses of transportation The
commission may fix them so as to give
an additional one-half OF 1 per cent,
for non-reductive improvements. il
in the opinion of the commission this
is necessary
Discrepancy in Earnings.
In the present test period the rail-
roads earned an average of $917,OOO,-
900 year in net operating income. In
1918 under Government control they
earned only $516,OOO,0OO.
Under the new law the commission
must find the value of property de-
voted to transportation use. This
value, as carried by the commission
in its account at present, is about
$40 ,OOO, OOO, 900. A So per cent re-
turn on this would mean a net oper-
ating revenue for the roads of $1,1OO,-
$1,000, or an approximate 25 per cent
increase
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will begin hearings March % to
determine how or in what manner the
financial provisions of the new act
shall be applied. Hearings will be
given to all persons interested in rate
which should be made
and the figures that are to be used
as representing the fair value of rail-
road property in the uses of transport
-ation. The commission also will con-
slider the number and boundaries of
he~rate districts into which the coun-
Try is to be divided.
While a 25 per cent rate increase |
appears to be necessary to raise re-
1enues up to the 5A per cent level
he volume of traffic will be consid-
.rable factor in final determination
Increased traffic would make for in
,reased earnings from the present
ate basis and this will be given care
ul consideration, it is expected

POSSIBILITIES.

We cannot all be beautiful or clever
We cannot all be rich
We get both good and bad from fate
and never
Doth fate foretell us which.
We cannot all be either wise or witty
Those who are both are few
And possibly-although it seems a
pity
Fate has not smiled on you.
We cannot all be eminent and noted
Fame may not come our way.
We cannot all be sure of being quoted
No matter what we say.
We cannot all be honored by our
neighbors,
Although perhaps we should.
We cannot all get fruit from all our
labors,
But we can all be good.
