MARY SHEDS TEARS AT SOUTHERN HOME

LOS ANGELES, March 6.-With eyes red from much weeping and with a worn appearance as result of constant vigilance to avoid curl ous newspapermen enroute. Mary Pickford reached this city late yes terday afternoon and is today in retirement at her mothers home.
 When the train arrived, Mary re- mained in her seat until all the other messengers had left the car, hoping thus to escape the many re- uo,-ters she knew would be there to meet her. But when she peered out of the window she beheld bat talion of the scribes, waiting pa tiently and determined to interview her. There were also cameramen and scores of curious people anxious to get sight of her.
 Mary, in desperation, fled from the opposite side of the car, and in her haste stumbled and fell as she ran crying to her mother, who was awaiting her with an auto. The mother helped her to her feet anG into the ear and the two disappeared before any of the reporters could reach them.

OBJECTION IS MADE
 10 MINING LICENSE

During a discussion of the pro- posed gold bonus plan at the regu- lar weekly meeting of the Nenana Commercial club last night, it was disclosed that some objection has been made by residents of Nenana to the proposal to charge fee for the privilege of prospecting and min ing, and number of people ap- peared to have gathered the i'm pression that, under the bonus plan, the license fee would be $15 or $20.
 It was explained by those fla miliar with the plan as presented at Ia previous club meeting, that the amount of the license fee is mat ter that can be adjusted satisfac- torily before the plan is taken up by Congress. The license is neces- sary to put the mining industry un- der the control of the Government, so that the sale of gold can be properly regulated, and a license fee of 50 cents would be sufficient, or even half that amount. In fact, it is not necessary to make any charge whatever, unless the Government in sists that it must have fees suffi- cient to cover the cost of putting the license plan in operation.
 { The important thing, as the club
 views it, is to secure the bonus on
 gold, and every resident of the dis,
 trict is urged to sign the lists which
 have been distributed for that pur-
 pose, in order that it may be made
 clear that Alaskans are solidly be

 stored prosperity throughout tht

THE INFLUENCE OF EXAMPLE
BY Helena Wilson

by il'l'ltl W AiStlr
Parenthood imposes both privilege
and opportunity. Only to the extent
that parents realize this can they full
fiji their obligations to their children.
The personal character of the parent
is a moral force; his example a silent
teacher.
Because a child is trustful and i'm
questionable too great care cannot be
taken to surround him with the right
environment. The influence of his
home and associates is readily dis
covered by watching any child. Hav-
ing few experiences Of his own, he
naturally initiates whatever he hears
or sees. A certain little girl of ten
had learned to courtesy when intro
duced to her elders. This form of
salutation so impressed her little
cousin Of six that she Immediately
adopted it and within a week a
younger sister and brother of two
were attempting that accomplishment
with more or less success.
1t is generally through the indo.
lence, negligence and sometimes ig-
nOrance of the parent that the child
is not given the right start in life.
Honesty, and exhaustless patience,
keen insight and trustworthiness are
necessary in the person who is re-
sponsible for his training.
The older child finds his ideals in
the great characters Of history and
literature; to the young child father,
mother and other intimates are the
ideal, the very embodiment of what
is best and he follows the pattern set
before him.
If on ore occasion a mother makes
a promise and fulflls it and at an
other time and without any explana-
ton to the child fails to do so, how
can he be expected to trust her? If
one day she Furnishes her child for
carelessness or some other childish
misdemeanor and the next day over
looks the same offense because she
is busy with some important house
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1920-09-09

hold task or Is visiting with a neigh
Dor, how can the child believe in a
truth and justice that are eternal?
Surely the same results should follow
the same acts. Small wonder that
some children are capricious or re
bellious.
A certain mother who was much
surprised that her small daughter lied
very frequently and seemingly with,
out cause, would have been filled with
shame and she recalled how often she
had said TO her maid in the child's
hearing, Tell Mrs. Blank that | am
not at home today"
The right home training is the great,
est force for morality. The character
of the individual is determined by the
way in which it is begun. Were the
right influence. example and environ,
ment given to all children there would
be no need for reformatories; a verbal
pledge would be as binding as a writ
ten one and the name of the protiteer
would not be upon every tongue.
Sow a thought, reap an act,
Sow an act, reap a habit,
Sow a habit, reap a character
is an old adage which contains a
wholesome truth.
