The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-12-05

One day iaet winter my six-year-
old boy ran to me and said. Come
out and see a birds nest with four
blue eggs in IT,"
In surprise took his hand and
walked beside him through the gar
den to leafless wintry rosebrush to
which he pointed triumphantly But
where Is the nest | asked.
Right there" he insisted, indicat-
ing bleak branch with not so much
as a straw on It.
but there is no nest" I insisted
Then he withdrew his hand and
looked up into my face with utmost
scorn. Cant you make-believe any
thing?" he said.
What was my response? What
should have been my response, do you
think? Well, believe the words that
rushed to my lips we're the right
and true words. said. why, dar-
ling, beg your pardon for being SO
stupid OF course. | can make-be-

The next week, however, there oc-
Cured in my household very diff
ferent kind of falsehood. A little girl
of whom had temporary charge had
found a purse with good deal of
money in it. We had talked about
this among the neighbors and in the
cbild's presence until she felt very
proud of herself. One day she came
to me with a dollar bill in her hand.
81 certainly will make you rich
sometime" she exclaimed, quoting a
remark which we had frequently used
among ourselves. "Here is a dollar
| found under a rock
I cannot tell just why l did not be-
lieve her, but after accepting the dol
lar of which she made me a present
I went to my purse. It had been ta-
ken out of that. called her in from
her play and very quietly told her
felt sure she had taken the dollar
from me and asked her why she had
done so. N
She denied it--she even protested
piously that she could not be so base
as to steal from one to whom she
owned so much kindness. did not
argue or raise my voice; | simply
kept saying. "Why did you take it?"
"I feel sure you took it" Tell me
why you took it?"
Suddenly she broke down and ad-
mitted her guilt. OF course her rea-
son was clear: She wanted to be

say, mabel has found more money
She had no desire for the money it.
self; she had given it back to me.
The first of these cases. that of the
birds nest story was an act of harm
less and beautiful imagination; the
second was a lie. The spirit of the>l
first should be encouraged, the second
required a punishment which would
make clear to the child's conscience
the baseness of her deed.
1t is seldom hard to know the diff
ference between flights of child's
and his untruths. To
sympathize with the former, however,
we must pause for a few minutes and
try really to understand children's
natures.
1t is very unjust to confuse this
beautiful girl of childhood with the
spirit of cowardice and vanity which
is at the root of most lying. To be
good mothers we must realize that
our little children up to ten years of
age are like poets and artists and
a great extent they
live in their busy imaginations.

Dairying Paid All
the Bills and Also
r aised Mortgage

Just a few days ago a young farm
or living north and west " Johns
town, Colo, dropped into his home
bank with a milk check Of $500 and
announced that be wanted 70 pay his
note. That's good, said the bank
err, "but don't you want 60 keep part
Of Il 20 pay the merchants here In
town? They will appreciate It II
you do"
why, don't owe EN- any bills, "
replied the farmer. I'm dairying.
The cream check-product Of the
dairy cows synonymous with farm
insurance in Weld county, says n
writer in the Weld County News pub
lished at Greeley. II insures the
farmer against adversities Of climate
and market---when all other crops
fail, the farmer with dairy COWS,
from n few TO large herd, finishes
the season with money in the bank.
Some people laugh at US because we
have 10 do chores and that sort OF
farmer-dairyman, "but the cows pay
the bills and leave us something at
the end Of the year We cant get
along without them"
That seems TO be the sentiment
among the farmers who are dairying
D., southcrn Weld county. The dairy
COW is paying the bills month after
mog,h and paying nrofi. hosides, an !
she doesn't interfere with ordinary
farm operations either. IN fact the
dairy herd furnishes the indispensable
fertilizer which keeps the soil alive
and productive year after year. from
the standpoint Of paying expenses
and a profit the value Of the dairy
cow SSnoi well be over estimated.
Those prosperous and progressive
farm areas around Fl Lupton, Johns
town, Platteville, Milliken and around
Mead in southwestern Weld county,
owe their very existence 20 the cream
check.
In Johnstown, for instance, little
town Of 274 people as reported by
the last census, the monthly cream
check averages $4,000, in addition
20 the pay roll at the plant itself
where 25 people earn each month a
total Of not less than $4,000 That
means that the farmer with dairy
COWS pays cash for his supplies dur
ing the year, instead Of leaving his
accounts for settlement at the end
Of the harvest season, when he may
have less money than he needs 20
meet his obligations Denver Record
