WHERE YOU GOT THAT AWFUL DREAM

Did you ever give any thought Mr. and Mrs
Reader to your subconscious mind? In other words
the other things your brain is working on without
your conscious knowledge, while it is at the same
time working on those things you know Of that
you are fully alive to-
The scientists have developed whole shelf full
OF books on this subject dufing the last ten or fiji
teen years, mostly result of close Observance
OF picked human individuals, great numbers of
them. And these observations in all cases have
been cardlndexed as you would card-index a hun
dred thousand books in public library The result
is that great deal of interesting information has
been obtained sub-consciousness, much of it
valuable to the medical man in his task of healing
sick mankind
There few OF us who have not experienced the
night-terrors" sometime between babvhood and
old age. Night terrors and Nightmares are the
action of the subconscious mind, and one of the
writers, Dr. Bowers informs us that thew date
back thousands and thousands of wears through
our ancestors to the days of the flying lizard"
and other giant horrors that devastated early h,1-
manly.
Then there is the gravity fall" as the scientists
call 1.-THE dream we all have had of falling great
distances. 1t is heritage of the age when our far
distant foreathers lived in treetops to escape the
dreadful animals that preyed upon them They
Were always in danger OF falling, and always in
terror Of it. and their danger has descended to us
in the sub-conscious mind and only comes forth in
dreams
But when You slip into the pantry and devour
me wltes last piece Of lemon pie you, LIANT blame
that on sub-conscious mind!

IMPROVE THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS,

never visited one OF the many successful district
agricultural schools. 1t has been our pleasure to
be connected with two Of these schools and we
have visited several others in the past six years
at each OF which practical agriculture was taught
by very practical teachers In all Of them country
boys and girls are being fitted for rural life, taught
farm economics, seed testing soil analysis and
home making, the latter including every line OF
canning, preserving and drying fruits and vegeta-
bles, sewing and general health rules, which are
OF vital Importance to the family life of our rural
population.
1t may be true, and it probable is true that there
as some of these schools who are not coming I'D
to the expectations of its promoters, but that
should not be a reason, why those who fully fill
their ntented purposes should be included in
general Indictment Of these agricultural schools
In so far as Triton, Douglas and Amcricus schools
are concerned, it is well established fact that
these schools have been compelled to turn away
applicants for the past several years, for the rea-
son that they were filled to their capacity
AS to selling these plants to the cities in which

NEILLs NEW PRISON PENSION LAW,

A bill drafted and fathcred by Judge Henry
Neil, OF Hinsdale, Illinois, father OF the Mothers
Pension system, has just been passed by the Low
er House OF the Illinois Legislature and is on final
passage without opposition in the Upper House
1t will no doubt be enacted and be in operation
on July lst 1921
1t provides pensions for mothers of dependent
children, when father is imprisoned over year or
more.
This law authorized the Juvenile Courts to pay
such mothers $35 month for the first child and
SIS month for each additional child under four
teen years of age.
A special tax of r-enths of one mill is to be
levied on all property to provide Mothers Pen
sion Fund out of which the Prison Pensions and
the regular mothers Pensions are to be paid,
This fund in Cook County (including Chicago),
Illinois, will amount to seven hundred and fiftv
thousand dollars year.
The sins of the father should be visited on the
innocent children, or they, too are pretty likely
to be lead into sin. Illinois is doing the right
thing-helping little children and making it less
likely that they will become criminals later on.

MAKING TWO NEW FOOLS-Mr

citizen, whoever yo uare try to provide as we'll as
you can for your daughter or daughters. but let
the boy provide for himself Anyway. that is
what you will do if you want your son to be real
man.
There is not rich man who made his money
by his own efforts who isn't glad by the eternal
that he was not born rich. He knows that if he
had been brought up to wealth, he wouldn't have
had half the fun in life-none of the pleasure OF
achievement that has been his He knows that
great usefulness in life is not only distinction but
Ia personal JOY. And as he looks abroad at the
lives of wealthy men who got their money from
their fathers he congratulates himself on his great
good luck that he had make his.
AS a we'll known American writer remarks::-
Taking care OF wealth and spending it, is a bust
ness IN itself The average young man who is
gwen all the money he wants, has too much to do
spending it and doing the things in life that wealth
and position" are supposed to demand When
middle life comes he realizes the fatuousness of it
all, but it is too late The golden hours when am
bttion Tor achievement flows strong in the blood
have passed
Nobody knows better the Joy of doing things, OF
being real man OF action, than the man who be
comes rich thru his own efforts Nobody knows
better than he the failure of that JOY in the man
who was brought up to wealth, He knows it 81
well, that, OF course, he makes the boy go out and
work for his wealth and place in life. Does he not
No he does not! The average father who is self
made gives that of his money he wants
and thus plants two fools on the face of the earth
himself and the boy
