BACK TO YOUTHFUL DAYS.

A writer in eastern newspaper mentions the
coppertoed boots that boys of the late sixties and
the seventies wore. This will bring back to many
a, man well along in middle life the recollection of
a priced possession, especially if he brought up
in the country The first pair of boots an
event destined never to fade from memory. They
not only had copper toes, but to add to their re-
spendency, they had tops of crimson red leather
alternating with green
What boy of five or six years would not be proud
Of such outfit! With such boots a boy exper-
fenced something Of the satisfaction that must be
felt by king whose crown ION his head hour
hath been" Yet there drawbacks. Who for
gets the effort required to draw the stiffened
footwear in the morning after they had been thor
oughly soaked by tramping through snow and sush?
Well-worn the jamb of the door other wood
that bore the mprints of the copper-toed boot of
vigorous boy applied on many winter mornings as
he struggled to pull the boot in order not to be
late to school. Those were the days!
The pleasures of youth quickly pass but recol-
lection hovers fondy about the first pair of boots
a possession that in esteem surpasses anything
that came later in life. Those who not boys
when copper-toed variegated top boots in
vogue missed something worth while something
that admits of substitute.

IDEALS OF PEACE.

friend rather gently chides the Journal for
falling to say more about the ideals of peace rather
than laying so much stress the horrors of war.
In the face of the meeting November II Of the
Disarmament Conference, have been striking
with what strength had to make sentiment ia
vorable to radical curtailment by mutual agree
ment, of the armament of the world.
We have done this because is the time to
get something tangible done to relieve the taxation
burdens of the people. We fear that the frightful
costs of war in both lives and money, rather than
ideals of the Brotherhood of Man and the Father
hood of God, have been the moving cause which
bringing the diplomats of the nations together
at this time. Long preaching of the ideals of peace
must be. carried before national suspicious and
ambitions. racial hatreds, and conflicting interests
will permit of disarmament in one glad song of
international brotherhood.
The faith of the journal is strong. We believe
that the time will come eventually when the world
will love peace and abhor war, but we are COM
PEELED by study of history to believe that the
teachings of the Master must take a. greatly in
creased hold on the hearts of before that will
come to pass Such change must be expected
gradually and over long period of time.
Now, even If the reason be commercial and sell
fish. should avail ourselves of the practical
at hand, to control the probabilities and con-
sequences of war.
Yet our mild critic is right. negative argu-
ment against will not solve problems. All
must argue constructively for the ideals of peace
Just as private wars, through personal combat. were
outlawed by the sentiment of the people for peace
and order so wars can end only when men have
exalted ideals of peace and consequently have seen
the folly and sin of war.
Hate and selfshness are destructive things. War
is their child. The destructiveness of such
lions is in the waste of war. Love and unset
fshness build up instead of destroying. We should
exalt ideals of peace.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE TRAINING OF SERVICE MEN.
(From the Minneapolis Tribune

(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)
Distinctly unpleasant, not to say humilating, Is
the report made to President Harding by Colonel
Charles r. Forbes director of the United States
Veterans bureau, regarding the kind of vocational
training some of the former service men are re-
ceiving with the financial help of the government,
ut is nothing short of crime and slavery to put
men into some of the places they have been put. /
am opposed to the sweat-shop system and do not
propose to let of the service men be exploited
by mushroom houses that have sprung up merely to
exploit the soldiers and get the governments
money"
Those are harsh words smacking of a baseness
and heartess attitude that are almost unbelievable.
Colonel Forbes them in what he has to say to
the executive head of the government. 1t is not to
be presumed he has let an excess of feeling run
away with his better judgment. Granting that he
has set down the facts without undue color we
have portraiture of conditions that should make a
good American hide his face in shame.
Thousands of the men are being denied the kind
of training they should have, and they are working
in environments that suggest farmng-out in peon-
age. according to the report. Enthusiastically and
absolutely wrong is the way the system is described
The government, Of course, Is not knowingly
giving its sanction to selfish exploitation of its
former service men. If there is item of expense
in the whole national budget of which the taxpayers
have not complained and will not complain, 1t Is
that having to do with efficient rehabilitation of
veterans of the war It is the unanimous of A
really grateful people that no niggardly spirit
should be shown toward the service men who are
supposed to be still under the chershing care of
the government. 1t Is particularly revolving to be
told that many of the men are today the prey OF
civilians who them for selfish gain and do not
treat them worthy of their hire.
II the government is to provide for vocational
training and rehabilitation at all, 1T should make
sure that it does In the best possible way. The
country will thus and thus only, share the benefit
with those given instruction.

AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

I engineers wage was 1913 pr
hundred miles. "a hundred mil s
is a basis always used in figurirs
road mems pay). Now for the
past two years the same crew
handles a laaXimum of 2S00 tons.
The engineers pay is 1891 per
100 miles, the crew making almost
double the amount for the COM
any.
Compare this wage with any
other skilled labor. Consider the
fact that we work nights as well as
days; that we are subject to a call
at any time or hour. That we are
out in all kinds of weather. Also
the fact that we have TO keep UP q
home at one end of the road and
perforce must have a place to eat
and sleep while at the other end.
Also consider that it takes from
tight to fifteen years apprentice
ship in firing before a man becomes
an engineer. 1t is almost an i'm
possibility to work every day. Con-
slider that If a freight engineer
worked the same hours as plumb
err, for instance, he would make
$205.66 and would be, aw@y from

Let me assure you that 100000
men, many of them with from IL
to 80 years service, have not cas-

sequences. Men quite as conser.

strife, as any of the opposition

no breakdown now.
From the employees standpoint
the roads have forced this threat

are getting a just wage as com

old cry of more revenue, are try

the railroad employees are held up
as seeking war time wages in re-

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago. Oct. S-Bearish views
of the domestict industrial situation
and of the foreign financial out
look carried wheat downward to-
Law to the lowest prices this season
Closing quotations were unsettled
at s&c to 4stc net decline, WITT
December S105H to s1.05 u ana
May $1.09% to S1.10. Corn finish
ed unchanged to sc to &c lower
oats off nc to &c and provisions
unchanged 10 Csc down.
Except for a brief time at the
start the wheat pit was nearly bare
of buying orders. whereas brokers
were numo rous who had orders to
sell. A temporary initial upturn
in prices was ascribed to a dispo-
sition in some quarters to believe
that the government report on
farm reserves had been given too
much weight as a depressing factor.
This circumstan> G, however, was
soon lost sight of and the attention
of traders focused on the uncer-
tainties of the threatened big rail-
way tieup and on talk of possible
financial crash in Germany. An
nouncement from the Atlantic sea-
board that 100000 bushels of
United States wheat had been pur-
chased for Europe failed to bring
about any important rally.
Corn also touched a new low
price for the season. The corn
market, though, was relatively firm
compared with wheat. Smallness
of receipts, together with better ex-
port inquiry. helped to sustain
values. Oats paralleled the action
of corn.
Provisions went lower with hogs.
Closing prices:
Wheat - Dec, s1.o5A: May,
$109%.
Corn--Dec., 46c; May, bic.
Oats-Dec., 32Ac: May, 90 rs c.

"You are welcome to stay with
out doing any favors," said Nurse
Jane, as she brought little pill
box for the grasshopper to go to
sleep in behind the stove, and a
soft boiled lima bean which he
could use as pillow for his head.
Soon the last grasshopper was
fast, fast asleep, as he was very
tired, having been chased all over
the yard by the puppy dogs and
pussy cats-there, l have it right
this time.
Night came. and still the grass
hopper slept in the pill box with
his soft lima bean for a pillow. His
big jumping legs were curled up
under him and he was happy,
dreaming of warm, summer days
II hay field.
All of a sudden, in the middle of
the night, the Fuzzy Fox sneaked
up to get in Uncle Wiggilys bum
galow, And he happened to open
the kitchen window near the stove,
behind which the grasshopper was
asleep in the pill box with soft
lima bean for a pillow.
who's there?" asked the grass
hopper. as he was awakened by
the noise.
II am the Fuzzy Fox, after I'm
Gle Wiggily's ears!" growled the
bad chap.
ooh, you are, eh?" sang the
Jump out of the pill box with his
big hind legs, and he landed right
on the nose of that Fox. And then
the grasshopper began making his
legs go as fast as anything and he
tickled that bad Fox so hard that
the Fox sneezed "Ker-choo and
ker-Znitzio!"
"Oh, this Is no place for me!
There's a buzz saw on my nose!"
howled the Fox, and back out of
the window he jumped, not hurt
ing Uncle Wiggily at all.
And when the bunny gentleman
and Nurse Jane came down to see
what all the noise was about, and
found that the grasshopper had
driven away the savage animal, the
muskrat lady said:
well. the grasshopper did us a
favor after all"
And, sure enough he had. So
the grasshopper lived in Uncle
Wiggilys warm bungalow all win
ter, being very happy. And If the
