DEAL JUSTLY WITH CHILDREN
Almost Every Country Now Has
Courts to Handle Cases of Juve-
nile Delinquency.

The example set by the United
States in establishing juvenile courts
has been followed by all the prirci-
pal countries of Europe. Spain, the
last to fall in line, has adopted the
modern viewpoint that delinquent chill
nails, but rather as victims of adverse
conditions and surroundings. In work
ing out the details of the law, Spanish
authorities have followed Americas
experience, according to information
received by the children's bureau of
the United States department of
labor.
Under the Spanish law the children's
judge is not necessarily member of
the bench. He is assisted by two adj
visory members appointed by the COM
mission for the protection of children.
Privacy is guarded very closely in the
Spanish juvenile courts; no one ex-
cept probation officers is allowed in
the court unless by special permission,
and the press is forbidden to publish
any information about cases of juvenile
delinquents.
Since Chicago established the first
juvenile court in 1899, similar courts
have been established In England
France Belgium. Holland, Denmark,
Switzerland, Italy. Germany, Russia

friends, who anxiously awaited the
result Of the fever.

talents and being very ambitious.
She was only IS years of age at the

LATE FROST ALL-IMPORTANT
FOR THE COTTON CROP.

Slightly more than normal deterior-
alton during the past 80 days is in
dicated by correspondents of the
Commercial Appeal reporting the
condition of the cotton crop.
The crop reached about the peak
of its improvement during the first
week in August and from that time
onward to August 25. the date as of
which this report is, made, deterior-
ated rather rapidly.
Deterioration was due primarily
to excessive moisture, unseasonably
low temperatures and deficient sun
shine, which made boil weevil and
other insect enemies more active,
caused shedding and snappY growth
of the weed at expense Of fruitage.
Deterioration was greatest in
Louisiana In the Carolinas the con-
dition is not far from but somewhat
above the 10-year average neither
very low nor extremely high con-
ditions being presented. Georgia is
suffering more from boil weevil dam
age than at any time this year be-
fore the middle of August, but still
hopes to make a much better crop
than last year. Alabama perhaps is
suffering more from boil weevil dam
age than any other state, and, acre
for acre. has but little better promise
than last year. Mississippi shows
about normal deterioration, where
substantial progress would have been
possible under favorable conditions.
The Texas crop is very spotted,
with condition figures ranging from
Is per cent. to about normal or bet
ter, with low condition in about every
case traceable to boil weevil activity.
The extremely spotted condition is
confined to nopartcular division Of the
state. relatively highest AVERAGE pros
poets are to be found in the west. the
southwest and central divisions, in
the order named. Oklahoma never had
better prosnect, except that it is
late. In Arkansas the crop is UNI
usually spotted, but, on the whole.
offers a rather brilliant promise. Ten
nessee's crop is promising. but late.
About half Of the croD is late
everywhere. The other half was
planted about on time and is begin
ming to mature Picking has begun
in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
and will probably be completed 80
days from now in Southwest Texas.
Owing to so much of the crop being
late. the date of killing frost will be
one of the most important factors in
the size Of the crop.
This applies particularly to Okla
homa.
The crop throughout the belt needs
warm. dry weather more than any
thing else.

Upton COUNTY BANKERS
HELP BOYS OWN PUREBREDS

"a pig in a poke" generally sig
nifies a bad bargain. but not to the
members of the boys mig club of
Upton county, Tenn. These young
business men are quite satisfied with
the pigs they drew by lot one day
last June at Covington, Tenn.
Through the initiative of County
Agent G. S. Hollingsworth, who has
been untiring in his efforts to per
feet the pig club work, and with the
assistance of the American Hanp-
shire Breeders Association, each Of
the eight banks in Upton county
imported 10 purebred Hampshire
gifts from Illinois. Then the boy
members Of the pig club gathered in
Covington to draw lots for their
pigs.
The process is simple, but its eff
feet upon impressionable boys is
wholesome and far-reaching. The
boy actually establishes a regular
credit at his bank. real business
proposition wherein pigs replace the
customary notes. In this case; each
member of the club was given a
number which entitled him to the pig
with the corresponding number
among the so in the pen. Reports
indicate that every boy seemed sure
that he had drawn the one best
Hampshire in the lot though a neu-
trail person who examined the 80
pigs asserted that there was really
very little difference among all the
animals, All weighed about 80
pounds, and all were purebred Hamp-
shire gifts. beautifully marked in
black and white and of excellent
build and conformation.
Each boy agreed to follow certain
approved instructions in feeding and
caring for his gilt and promised to
exhibit his selection at contest to
be given in the county next fall. In
fulfilling his contract with his bank,
he will return two pigs from the first
litter produced by his SOW. in dis
charge of his "note" due the bank.
The sow, the remaining pigs of her
first litter and all the pigs of future
filters become the property Of the
bow.
Economists argue that there is no
good bargain-that one party or the
other is always the loser-but 1t is
hard to find that fault in the pig
club boys bargains. The banks get
two pigs for one; the boys get a
ourebred SOW and all her potential
filters in return for the care and
food given the pig, and the county Of
Upton is richer in one short year by
two or three hundred purebred pigs.
Uncle Sam and the county agent.
who jointly form sort of third
party to the transaction, have the
satisfaction Of knowing that 80 farm
boys have been given financial in
terest in agriculture and primary
business education. which will mean
success in later ears.-Washington
