have him use his strength with
commendable effect until he ac-
quires physical self-reliance.
Get him into a business OF his
own. That is, your twelve.year-
old son should be learning thrift
along with his industry. Allow
definite wages for certain regular
required tasks. Teach him from
the start to keep his own account,
with debits- and credits shown in
detail. Have him learn to carry
a savings account covering a part
OF his earnings. Have him learn
to carry a small amount Of loose
change in his pockets, and to
make his own small purchases.
Thus through a system of
easily managed affairs you may
work the "milksop" all out of the
character Of your adolesoent boy
and change him into an enthusi-
astic, aggressive doer Of manly
deeds and pursuer OF many ideals.

thirteen. year old boy. They do not
realize that now is the time to
wean him from his baby ways and
to cut him off from this childish
dependence hitherto a part of his
normal life.
The very disturbing case OF d

thirteen, is much overgrown and
he runs to his mother crying for

The negative personality Of the
soft, timid youth does not merely
happen, but can be traced to a
definite cause, namely, too much
coddling and pampering; too much
doing for him and not enough do
ing for himself; too much bossins
and not enough blazing his own
trail. Reverse the cause and you
will have the cure.
The future worth OF boy de-

FARMERS IN CONVENTION.
Winter Tri-county Meeting Marked BY
Attendance and Interest.

The annual convention of the Farm
ers Union of Nez Pcfce, Clearwater and
Lewis counties opened on schedule in
this city yesterday morning with Pres
ident j. M. Stampfer in the chair and
a goodly attendance of delegates and
Ilaymen from outside and local points.
The morning session was taken up
with the appointment of committees
and general discussion of the tax
problem. This was followed by a big
dinner at the Community Hall, where
the ladies had prepared most de-
icious and bountiful spread and where
la big crowd enjoyed it.
The afternoon session was open to
the public and the Fraternal Hall was
filled with interested people. A violin
solo by Mrs. Pike, accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. Olsen, preceded COM
prehensive talk on the U. of I. Farm
Extension 8 relation to the agricultur-
ist, by Prof G. r. McDole of the Uni
versity. Mrs. Pike followed this with
one of her clever readings, and was
in turn followed in an excellent ad-
dress on the church in agriculture by
Rev. Pike of the Community church.
State President J. Q. Adams, one of
the well known patriarchs of organic
ed farming, appealed effectively to
the sense of humor in the audience and
then settled down to solid presenta-
tion of the organization problem.
At the exclusion of the afternoon
program, the committee handling the
local bank reorganization matter pre-
sented its case and secured several sub
scriptions of stock.
AT the evening open session PROF.
McDole and President Adams again de-
livered addresses to good crowd mad
music numbers were rendered by Mrs.
Pike and Mrs. Hyde.
Today's session is executive, behind
closed doors. Next week The Herald
will report as much of this as can be
made public, together with condenses
of the several addresses, the result of
the election of officers and the names
of delegates and members attending
the convention.

Is This Fair to You, Folks?

During yesterdays session of the
board of county Commissioners it was
voted by Commissioners Ruble and
Lowrey, Longeteig dissenting, to leave
the office of county farm agent va
cant another year and to discontinue
the office of county hearth nurse in 80
days. This action was alleged to have
been taken in compliance with Pc
tition carrying 240 names against the
employment of a county agent and 232
names against the county health service
and very few names in favor of either
office, which petitions had been care
fully and quietly circulated by parties
opposing the continuance of these Of
fices among those of the same view
point for the further alleged purpose
of saving the taxpayers the expense of
these two offices.
That this anti movement is not so
popular in grand old Lewis county as
these petitions and this action by two
members of the board might lead out
siders to believe, it is fair to say here,
that, by order of the board of county
commissioners petitions for and against
the office of county health nurse were
openly and generally circulated over
the county last summer and the people
were asked to Voluntarily express their
wishes in the matter. and a large ma
jority was given for the continuance of
this office, and the board of county
commissioners, acting ON those petit |
tions, did vote unanimously to con
tinue that office until next July. Those
petitions carried more names for the
continuance of the office than the pc
tition submitted at this present ses
sion of the board has against it. And
certainly those who stood in favor of
the health service then are as strongly
for it now, since its value to the coun-
try has been so much further demon
strated Just when this last action of
the board was being taken the county
health nurse was on her way home from
Spokane, whittier she had taken a little
