BREAK UP BAD HABITS
Expert Gives Four Rules for
Training Of Children

Mothers are often heard to say,
"My children have such untidy habits,
and I don't seem to be able to break
them talk all day long, but it doesn't
do any good" ,..Is
No mother needs to endure her
children's untidy habits, or any other
undesirable habits, if she goes about
training them in the right way, and
is willing to take a little trouble to
carry it out. Four simple rules based
on psychology, may serve to give such
mothers an insight into the means of
forming right habits. If carried out
faithfully, these rules cannot fail to
produce results.
First, decide for yourself what
habit you wish to form. Then start
enthusiastically and determinedly to
freak the old and launch the new one
Say to your children, beginning to-
day, we are all going to hang up our
wraps, and put our books and rubbers
in the proper places when we come
home from school. Let's see who re-
members every time, and doesn't have
to have mother tell her once about it,"
| Arouse as much enthusiasm as you
can about the matter Be careful that
| IL not e. W. 70
anew too many habits at one time.
| Select one or two habits to work on,
and keep at them persistently until
you are reasonably sure that they are
well fixed. Then start on another.
Second, permit no exceptions to
occur after you have once started. No
matter how good the intentions of the
children are, they will lapse into the
old ways after few days. That is
when you will have to work. You will
find that eternal vigilance on your
part will be the price of your chill
dren's good habits. When Mary comes
home in a hurry to get out to play
she will throw her books on the near
est chair. Don't say, "Oh, well, she
is little, and it is hard to remember all
the time" That is where you will
fail. Even though Mary has already
gone away to play, she should be
called back Immediately and told in a
kind manner. "You forgot your books
today. Put them away, and then you
may go to play" One or two expert.

ences of that kind will soon make

ences of that kind will soon make
Mary more careful.
Third, repeat the desirable action as
often as possible. We all know that
the habit is most firmly fixed which
we have been praticing longest.
Seize every occasion to perform the
act which you wish to become habit,
and it's acquisition will come all the
sooner.
Last of all, act, don't talk. Don't
preach too much or abound in good
talk in the abstract. When Mary
throws her coat on the floor and her
rubbers in the middle of the hall,
don't tell her that nice little girls
don't do those things, or that she is
careless girl and should know bet
ter, and great deal more to that
effect. Simply call her as soon as you
discover what she has done, and tell
her quietly and good-naturedly to put
her things away Immediately and then
see that she does it. Such treatment
as this is far more effective than mere
talking.

MANY EXHIBITS AT
STATE FAIR THIS YEAR
Boys and Girls to Eclipse all
Previous Events

Warfare, which used to lean heavily
on the ironmonger, has become the
affair of the chemist. The next great
war, if the nations of the world are
mad enough to bring one on, will be
fought with tremendous explosives
from the laboratory, with gases and
with acids. Only a few days ago the
newspapers reported that our own
Chemical Warfare Service had found
poisonous liquid so terrible that
three drops of it would kill any person
whose skin it touched. If the Allies
wish to make sure of disarming Ger
many they must not think that it is
enough to cripple the Krupp Works
at Essen if they leave the great Ger
man dye works and chemical factories
intact.
For chemistry is an immoral science
that deals indifferently with matter,
producing from the same stuffs things
useful and things noxious. From coal
tar it produces the most beautiful
dyes and the most deadly gases. The
Haber process for producing ammonia
from the nitrogen of the air can be
used to supply some Of the most valu-
able fertilizers for the farm and some
of the most frightful Of high explo-
sives. Every chemical plant, whether
in Germany, in England or in the
United States, is potential arsenal.
Before the war Germany had more
intelligently expanded it's chemical in
dustry than any other nation. It had
a virtual monopoly in making dye
stuffs and commanding lead in the
business Of making drugs and chem
icals of all kinds. Today it has fac
tories enough to supply the world with
all it needs of those products. The
use Of the Haber process, greatly
stimulated by the war, is also more
firmly established in Germany than
in any other country. So long as there
is a possibility of war the Allied ma
tions cannot permit their own chem
ical industries to be undersold and
overshadowed by those of Germany,
for to do it would make them rela-
lively helpless in case of war.
Of course, chemistry cannot be out
lawed. We cannot well do without
the useful things that it gives US. The
problem-and it is a difficult one-is
how to outlaw the lethal products that
it can create. 1t is not enough to
enact that gases and poisons and high
explosives shall not be used in war
We have learned, if we did not know
before, that nation engaged in a
life-and-death struggle will not keep
the agreements that it makes in time
of peace or refrain from using ar
illegal weapon if it thinks that it car
be made means to victory. The
League of Nations, intended to meet
the issue, scarcely gives evidence Of
vitality enough to be of service If
preventing war. The United States
where the hatred of war is as strong
as it is anywhere, has refused to ente1
the League at all. Just how to solv,
the problem we do not know, but i
will be shameful thing if mankint
does not find some way to solve it.

Westerners Favor Return to
"Reconstructive Sanity

In order to help themselves back to
"reconstructive sanity" the farmers,
merchants and bankers of Illinois
have banded together, strong pro-
gressive body.
The farmers-110,0OO of them
have backed their chief spokesman,
George A. Fox, treasurer of the State
Agricultural Association, to:
First. Adopt platform of economy
and buy not what they want, but
what they need.
Second. Work out a plan of coliec-
tive buying and selling.
Third. Broaden their marketing
facilities.
Fourth. Take steps to control their
surplus and thereby prevent over
supply.
The bankers headed by William C.
White, president of the State Banking
Association, have expressed their
willingness to cooperate to this ex-
tent:
By assisting the farmers with loans
on necessities.
{ By giving reasonable time on pay
ments.
By swinging their support to the
local community instead of centering
on business removed from the State.
The manufacturers whose attitude
is reflected by their representative,
Professor Perry Greeley Holden, di-
rector in the agricultural extension
department of the International Har-
vester Company, have gone on record
to:
First. Emphasize to the bankers
just how important the farmer is to
general business prosperity.
= Second. To be patient in demand
ing payment on loans made for farm
I implements.
Third. Extend educational help
along the lines of business economy
and efficiency.

ADOPT EXCLUSIVE
LISTINCS PLAN
Adopt Modern Method Of Selling,
and Also An Association
Emblem

The Polk County Realtors Associa-
ton had one of the most important
/ meetings Of its history Friday after
noon at Winter Haven.
One of the most important matters
to come up was the adoption of the
plan of exclusive listings. This is to
come before the State Realtors As
sociation at Miami next month, but,
so far as is known, the Polk County
Association Is the first county organi-
zatiOn to take it up. BY this plan,
each piece of property accepted by
the association members will be list
ed with one member only such list
ing, however, giving every other nom
her 4 right to sell the property, di-
vidinE his commission with the Of
fee where the property was originally
listed. This will save the owner the
Inconvenience of listing his property
in more than the one office. and will
make the revision of listings a sim
pier matter At the same time, the
plan makes for less confusion and
duplication of effort on the part of
the members.
The emblem of the association, as
designed by II. d. Mendcnhall was
adopted. 1t consists of an outline of
Polk county worked into a symmetri-
cal design that is very attractive
This Will be used in all advertise
mcnts signs, and stationery of the
