 Freight Conditions Better.

THE RHODA ROYAL CIRCUS

There is surprising unanimity in
the profuse praise accorded by the
great newspapers to the Rhoda Royal
Big Shows, which are billed to ap-
pear her on Tuesday, June the 14th,
and which we are assured will far
outstrip anything in the nature of an
arenic enterprise ever given our peo-
pie. The big shows, for there are a
number of the number one manage
ment, complete a surprisingly COM
prenhensive whole and will be seen
here under greater advantage than
anywhere else this season, as it was
recently much added to, Mr.. Royal
having purchased in Colorado one of
the other shows which was billed to
appear in this neighborhood, and ad-
ded to his already mammoth attrae-
tions which always consisted of a
three-rlng circus, real Roman hip
podrome, wild beast show and
monster menagerie and marine exhi
bit. Contrary to his usual mode of
procedure, Captain Pierre Perier, to
meet the public demand, will do his
worlds highest dive free for all and
to be seen by all on the show grounds
outside the tent, immedia tely after
the parade gets to the showgrounds
after traversing the line of march.
This free exhibition is entirely dis
tinct from the magnificent afternoon
and night performances.

FACTS AND FANCIES

Said Jack to Bill one morning fine
AS they walked side by side,
''This world is growing worse and
worse"
To which friend Bill replied,
"Well, folks don't go to jail for debt
AS in the days of yore,
And human beings aren't used
Like chattels any more"
"But nations seem 80 heartless, now,
And people too Jack said.
''They used to cruelty a man."
Said Bill, "for stealing bread"
"But don't you think that people are
Less tolerant?" asked Jack.
"Well, they don't burn folks at the
stake,
Nor tear them on the rack"
"But wars more terrible" said Jack,
GAS anybody knows"
"The ancients poured down burning
OIL"
Said Bill, upon their foes;
And Caesars soldiers fought in chains
So they could not retreat
And thereby rick their monarch's fall
From his imperial seat"
''But We have more advantages,
We should be better, far"
well, that's just what Pm getting at,
Said Bill, 81 think we are.
And Pm not wasting any thoughts
On times so far away;
Let's try to show we're thankful that
We are alive to-day"

Should Insist Upon Truthfulness


The mother should always insist up-
on truthfulness in her children before
'ensuring them for a falsehood she
should be sure that the offender is
guilty Of intentional untruthfulness.
AS rule young children are not
1ntruthful and they are often censur-
Ell for telling falsehoods when innocent
4 Intentional deceit. Cases are rare
where child deliberately tells q false
hood unless driven to concealment of
IN otfense from fear of punishment.

occasions illusory conceptions and de-
! 'eptlve ideas which are often mistaken
or actual facts and are repeated as

ling questions give evidence of the

he real meaning ofthings in the nan
'rama Of the life which is so new to
them
Some children fall into the under
landing of things more readily than
'thers but with all there is a tulmult
of perplexing queries.
Sometimes they confuse their
treams with their waking hours. as
was the case with the little girl who
appealed to her mother to confirm her
'count of her dream. "You know,
mama, for you were there" said the
child.
Daydreaming is not limited to chill
1ren alone but in childhood the illu-
'lons take on a very real aspect. A
'arge part of children's play is make
believe, and they carry on the different
ohases of the lives of their elders with
surprising aptitude and the illusion
stays with them and influences them
IN the development of their character
For We must bear in mind that the
evil which they see is portrayed
as well as the good, and if they have
observed any evidence OF deceit in
their elders their ideas of right and
wrong are confused, for they obtain
knowledge far more readily from OBJ
servation than from oral lessons.
Untruthfulness is a very serious
fault and should be firmly dealt with.
but the mother must be free from the
offense- herself or her efforts to re-
strain her children will be unavailing.
And she must be wise enough to
distinguish the willful falsehood from
the hallucinations of childhood, and
intentional deceit from the illusions

THE STACKER LIST

Including the names of valiant ex-
service men among the list of slackers
leads unbiased people to suspect that
the persons who kept the records
should head that list.
The lists sent out by the war depart
ment have been found to be so unre-
liable the press of the country hesit-
ates to publish them until the record
of each man has been carefully traced.
If the records of the war depart
ment and the draft boards have been
so loosely kept as to be largely un-
reliable, then the editorial fraternity
is quite justified in refusing to pub
lish the names of alleged draft evad-
ers until information can be supplied
from source that is dependable.
1t is better to let hundred guilty
men escape than to publicly humiliate
one innocent veteran. ~

THEPR0BLEMS
OF HOME
ANDFAMILY
A Talk With Our Wives, Mothers,
And Sisters
Spelling Children's Lives.

Many a child lives in prison whose
walls are made up of countless "don'ts"
The world for them is dreary place,
and life an unhappy affair. AS the
body of a child would cease soon to
grow in a real prison cell, so both
ody and mind are stunted and deform-
ed in prison Of this peculiar kind.
We must have fewer "don'ts" for
them and more "do's." This applies
not to little children alone but to old
er ones as well.
In these articles, we have already
named two or three kinds of activity,
for which Nature has given every
child love, and which actually con-
tribute to their growth and develop
ment. Let US add to this list natural
desire to make things, which the psy-
biologists call the instinct of creative
ness.
We see the little boy absorbed in
making kite or a williw whistle but
fail to see the urge of nature that is
behind it and out ct which his child
ish delight is drawn. Similarly, the
little girl may make mud pies, or a
cap for her dolly, with precisely the
same signs of satisfaction and pleas
ure. And as they grow older, the one
will be found making a sled, a writing
desk or a telephone outfit, while the
other tries to fake for herself a dainty
apron, to embroider her own hand
kerchiefs or to knit sweater. There
is reason why a pocket knife or a
set of tools lights up The face of lit
tie boy or a work box wins the heart
IF little girl.
1t makes no difference whether the
creative process is carried on with the
hand or with the mind. That is, we
take as much pleasure in devising
some new plan, such as the designing
of new dress, or the trimming for a
hat, as we do in the actual execution
# the design later with our hands
Whether Of hand or mind, the act of
creation gives pleasure; and this is
as true of the little ones as of us who
are older.
We do not make sufficient use of this
instinct in training our children. It is
always active. They would nearly
always be happy and satisfied if they
were making something. The trou-
bic is that they need suggestions and
guidance as to what to make; and we
10 not provide such help, nothwith-
standing we could, with little thot
and study, find many childish enter
0rises for them to undertake that
would prove most fascinating. In
stead, we do nothing to develop the
instinct, which therefore languishes
and dies; and so they fail, by reason of
'ur mistakes, to develop the original
'ty the ingenuity and the resourcefuI-
mss that will finally determine in large
measure their success and efficiency in
| life.

Cooking Potatoes
Do you find, when cooking potatoes.
that they go to pieces on the outside
and have a "bone" in the center?
Then you are cooking them too rap
idly. Use a slower fire. The same
applies in baking-let your oven be
too hot and your potatoes will lose
much OF their flavor and not be well
baked
