TRAINING FOR CHARACTER
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

In training for Character, the most important ele-
ment is the training of the Will.
And this is best with infinite difficulty because it
is doubtful whether there is such thing at all as the
direct Training of the Will
And all development of will power, curing of weak
wills, however the problem may be stated, depends
upon indirection
The reason of this is that nobody knows what the
Will is how to get at it, or how to find the source of it.
For Will lies back of the consciousness back Of the de-
sires so far back indeed in the dark mystery Of per-
sonality that it is almost strange and almost as
much a matter of faith as God
Also what call Will is probably no more nor
less than the functioning of the whole personality.
intellectually you express yourself in thought
Artsltlcaly you express yourself in deeds But most
deeply and dynamcaly you express yourself in Will.
And to reach the battery from whence flows your
will power you have to probe deeply into the hui
man mind than any scientific gentleman has so far
gone.
Indirectly however, we can undoubtedly train the
Will ii we catch the subject young enough.
Everything should be done to make the child desire
self-mastery above all things.
The endurance of unpleasant things should be en-
couraged He should be rewarded for perseverance He
should be made to feel that you dislike and disapprove
of all softness and yielding In other words he should
develop by all known means his willingness to deny him.
self present pleasure for future one, and bodily
comfort for spiritual advantage
Habits of Sef-denial should be formed and the
pleasures arising from these habits pointed out We
do bodily exercises to keep your muscles supple; why
should not do spiritual exercises to keep wills
supple?
William James said that man ought to do at least
two things every day that he hates just for practice.
The essence Of will power is the ability to set ones
self in opposition to desire 1t is than that For
it is the conviction that in doing we shall get the
qualification of better desire; that is, obtain
happiness.
Stated another way, it is that we must learn to
like resisting what want to do And to acquire it
must believe that in the long get more fun out
of this resistance than we do out of yielding.
The secret of strong character is that one is
above his pleasures and superior to his palms. For such
man strong appetites do not render him miserable;
they only lend more zest to his victory.
Strong Will is really mule power 1t means that
we have developed tremendous moral obstinacy.
If we this and see the vital influence that
disposing will has upon charactr we shall be much
better qualified properly to train children.

Yuma Gin Starts
YUMA-With 800 bales of Pima
cotton in its bins. the Southwest Cot
ton company's gin in Yuma began
operation Tuesday. Charles Collier,
in charge of the companys interests
in this section. estimates that about
80 days will be required to gin the
900 bales, which he declares to be the
entire crop produced on the Yuma
project in 1921.
Owing to the short crop the South
west Cotton company. did not start
their gin this year until the entire
crop was gathered, according to Mr.
Collier
In 1920 something like 1000 acres
were planted to the long staple va
rieties in this section and about $500
bales of cotton ginned. In. 1921 Pima
cotton was volunteered on about HOO
acres and 300 bales produced.-Sun.

But day an elder of one of the colored

challenged to submit proof. Unfortunately he could
not do SO pleasngly surprised he he said,
at the sight of a catfish having seen for many
years, that cooked and ate the fish on the spot
When the elder persisted in his unbelievable story
he accused mendacity the affair got into the
church and created schism. There was party
which would have no affiliaton with liar and
other made up of smaller number Of adnerents who
may have doubted the catfish story but who regarded
It as pleasing fiction which they wished might be

But the elder stuck to the story and hung about
the barber shop repeating it. At last the proprietor.

other fisherman dollar apiece for every catfish

days later the elder returned with bucketful Of
catfish when the proprietor drew down his reward.

original became of no Importance. Heterodoxy
cannot become orthodoxy during the lifetime Of the
guilty of it.
Years afterward explanation offered
of the prevalence of catfish in the Salt. 1t
learned that nearly forty years couple of broth
who had come to Gila county from Missouri in
early day had had consignment of catfish brought
out. Only four five Of them survived and they
were planted in the upper Salt For years be-
fore the construction OF the Roosevelt dam catfish
were reported to have been caught about the head
waters, though none had ever been reported lower
down until the elder made his discovery.
But catfish frequently caught above the
dam and fishermen in boats have reported seeing
huge shadowy forms moving about in the depths of
the lake. River cat weighing much as $50 pounds

But how catfish could migrate from the Salt to
Cave Creek is yet to be explained. But pro-

Relations With Russia

ded terms. states that word comes from the
" lite House that there may a resumption of trade
sstions with Russia. Nothing definite is offered
d the time or the conditions on which such thing
nay to pass.
The American government is deeply interested
II the welfare Of the Russian people That fact is
sufficiently disclosed by the action of congress
IL voting relief in the name of the gov
cgnnlent. and by what the federal authorities had
done previously matter of facilitating unofficial
aid to the starving people of that country.
There has been small faith in this country in the
beneficence of government as formulated and adj
ministered by the soviet 1t has been taken for
granted that the Russian people, against the win
and wish Of the great majority had choice but to
bow to the authority power OF the Lenin regime
military structure that has the strength to impress
its dictum upon impotent millions. In the soviet
der in Russia there is evidence of the principle Of
government with the consent of the governed.
The government Of the United States has elected
not to recognize the soviet government presumably
because did not Of the the latter seized
its title of authority because had to believe
The collective sober sese of Russia revoted against
the Lenin policies and doctrines and because there
were too many indications that the tenure Of the
soviet would be curtailed in due by the Rus
slams themselves.
Under an increasing cornpulson of circumstances
the I.eninists have been drifting away from their
original moorngs. They have been getting back
nearer and nearer to principles and policies which
they scorned few years ago obsolete and intol-
erable back nearer and nearer to the fundamentals
that have served the human so long in its eco
nomic social and political relations.
When Russia gives to this government sufficient
evidence that it accepts in good part the soviet gov
eminent or any form of government it will be none Of
tbe business OF the United States to interfere This
government however, will choose It's own time and
rms Of recognition. Meantime it is not improbable
that enough business sense will come to the soviet to
rrant a resumption Of trade relations between the
"a countries in some measure.

@. Please tell me the names of the
different kinds of dogs. j. N. 3.
A. Breeds Of dogs have been va
riously classified. Modern natural
lists have substantially agreed upon
six groups. The latest arrangement
is that by Windle, based upon the
shape of the skull and other features,
rather than upon form and function.
1t is as follows: Wolflike dogs, grey
hounds. spaniels, hounds, mastiffs

A. The Kase is unofficially re-
ported to have length of 200 feet,
and will have main battery of eight
or ten IS inch guns. 1t is estimated
that her turbine engines will drive
her at "a knots. The u. 5. S. Mary
land. which has been undergoing trial
carries eight 16 inch guns IN her
main battery, has length of ga
feet and a full load displacement Of
1880 tons. Her best speed on trial

ord? D. G. w.
A, In a recent typewriting speed
contest held in New Rork City, Geo.
Hossfeld made record of 1Sl words
per minute for one hour on an Un-
derwood typewriter. While other
persons have held records of a great
er number of words per minute, the
matter which Hossfeld copied was
very difficult and more words were
deducted for each error than in for
mer contests. He is therefore con-
sidered to hold the worlds speed rec

1T ain't Japan's fault. Can't a coun-
try be an island II 1t wants to?"
Yes; but the point is that as the
treaty promises that all four coun-
tries shall act whenever the insular
possessions or dominions OF any one
country are menaced, It practically
promises territorial protection OF
Japan itself. This wasn't explained
by Messrs. Hughes or Lodge and look

piled to Japan proper and the Presi-
dent pulled the prize bone of the
