WOMEN TO LEAGUE

Sidney. N s. w.. Oct, 3o.-Ths fel- eral government probably will follow the example of Great Britaif in sending women representatives in an advisory capacity to the League Of Nations. Two attempts have been made in the house to obtain Premier Hughes promise that the women's organizations would be given repre- sentation at the league meetings.
 A woman's political party has been organized in Melbourne with the object of obtaining direct repre- sentation of the interests Of women and children in parliament and other governmental bodies.

PRESS TALK IN GEORGIA
BY JACK l.. PATTERSON.
A Good Start Made

Jenkins county, of which Millen is the pro-
gressiye and prosperous capital, during the
first year of the new program of crop diversi-
f1cation had made wonderful success towards
the solution of the marketing problem In
discussing the plan, the Millen News says:
"No matter whether there is this fall a
good crop of cotton produced nor whether the
price is high or low, farmers here can make
no mistake in standing by the plans which
have been mapped out AMI adhered to the past
season with, Of course, such changes or modi-
fcations as experience shows to be desirable
or necessary. Cotton is risky crop, without
considering the boil weevil, and under condi-
tions brought about by this menacing insect,
it is folly for any farmer to depend upon cot
ton for his sole money crop.
"Too many products can be raised in this
section for people to become discouraged at
temporary backsets with some crops and
small returns from others. Millen has I'M
excelled facilities for shipping, and farmers
who will study the production of those COM
modities usually considered side-lines on the
farm and exercise care in marketing them
not only will stay in better shape than the all
cotton producer but will have something to
sell throughout the year and make money
easier than any other man who has to earn it. 4"

Driving A,0ay PROSPERITY

wv lH1LE nature does generous part to
M make good times for American farm
ers, Congress, under Republican con-
troll, is doing it's worst to the contrary. Three
billion bushels of corn, eight hundred million
bushels of wheat, and other crops in bounti-
full measure are forecast. But what will be
the prospect of foreign markets for the sur
plus of these rich havests If the Fordney-
McCumber tariff be enacted? 1t is upon the
sale of that surplus that the prosperity of
agriculture now chiefly depends. But where
withal will Europe buy If our own markets
be built about with tariff walls so high that
she cannot sell?
In shutting it's eyes to this obvious state
OF affairs Congress imperils the economic re-
covery for which the country long has waited
and upon which it Is hopefully entering.
Abundant harvests and ready foreign sales
--'ould mean shining autumn for our pro-
ducers Of the soil and for the manifold in
terests Of trade that lean upon them. It
would mean stabilized prices, restored buy
ing power to farmers, new security and new
impetus to business. But abundant harvests
and depressed foreign sales portend results
far different.
"It Is precisely" writes the New York
World, "as If manufacturing establishment
divided its energies equally between speeding
up production and driving away its customers,
In ordinary walks of life the man who did
that sort Of thing would be regarded as men
tally incompetent and the courts would be
requested by his relatives to deprive him of
any control over his property. But in gov
eminent that kind Of conduct passes for
craftsmanship and a great political party
stakes it's lease of power on a policy that If
applied to private affairs could lead only to
bankruptcy"
While the wiser leads of the Republican
regime see these perils, all too many adhere
blindly to their party's proverbial high pro
tection," ignoring economic developments
that have changed, and changed profoundly,
Americas and the worlds relationships. Ours
is no longer a debtor but a creditor nation,
whose interests are vitality involved in the
stability OF Europe. Countries across the At
lantic are practically :'earer to today than
were our oEp frontiers century ago, nearer
in all that materially affects our commerce
and industry. They will afford markets into
which our farm surplus can be profitably,
poured If they are enabled themselves to de-
velop buying power But this they cannot
do If they are kept from selling to the United
States fair measure Of their goods in return
for the products they purchase here. With
out reciprocity, trade cannot live; and with
out foreign markets neither American agri-
culture nor industry can go prosperously for
ward. For the common countr-s good it is
to be hoped that destructive tariff under the
guise Of protection" may somehow be
ayerted.

as the national sport" is not a
speculation to be scoffed at
Sporting goods manufacturers estimate
that at least two millions of Americans
now are playing golf. The game is sweep
ing into popularity with far greater rush
than baseball in it's palmiest days.
AS matter of comparison, it is noted
that the baseball fan rarely plays the
game himself-never, after reaching the
middle age, at the very period when his
physical well-being demands some type, of
exercise, and especially exercise not so full
Of strains and strenuosity as baseball.
In fact, baseball now has become a form
Of theatricals rather than a sport. The
fans go out to see If Babe Ruth can add
another home run to his record, very much
as they attend a vaudeville performance.
Personal attractiveness of various stars like
Ty Cobb. Rogers Hornsby and others con-
tribute largely to the gate receipts.
1t is a healthful characteristic of the
average American that he would rather play
q game himself than watch somebody else
play it. if the facilities are provided him.
Formerly golf was called ga rich mans
game" and not without reason. It was,
and is, expensive to belong to a golf club.
But the public course is solving that prob
lem rapidly Il.
Atlanta, with six golf clubs, now has
two public courses and contemplates third.
The patronage or these munlc1pal courses
is so enthusiastic that at the very moderate
charge of twenty-five cents to each golfer,
the city is receiving returns at the rate Of
something like SO per cent annually on its
investment at one course, that at Piedmont
park. In fact, during the last four weeks,
the return has been at the rate of 100 per
cent annually; and the climate here is such
as to favor golf all the year round, SO there
will be no very dull seasons for the city
courses in Atlanta.
The home of Miss Alexa stirling-until
last year-and the present home of Bobby
Jones, Perry Adair and other golfers known
nationally and internationally, Atlanta is
porperly regarded over the country and
throughout the world as a sort Of golfng
capital; and the encouragement of the
game by public courses is certain to add
more stars to the list, and, what is even
better, greater rank and file Of men and
women who are deriving pleasure and
health from the practice Of this remark

DOROTHY DIX TALkS-Our Tender Parents

alone. There are thousands like it, tragedies
that might be avoided if their mothers had
only had the courage to wean them, and pre-
pare them in time for the inevitable separa
ton.
1t is a common thing to hear woman
say that she wants her daughters to have
perfectly carefree time in their girlhood, and
that sheFis not teaching them how to cook,
or sew or keep house because they can learn
all that when they have to.
She does not realize that instead of Saving
her oa2gn ters trouble she is adding hum
dred fold to their difficulties, and even en-
dangering their whole life happiness. For
many man gets his first cold, disillusioned
look at the woman he had married when he
finds her utterly incompetent to carry on her
end of the job Of home-making, and the
grounds in the coffee cup have been the
grounds of many a divorce.
OF course il woman has any sense at ALL
and any glimmering of her duties as a wife,
she does learn eventually how to COOK, and
keep house, and cope with the high cost OF
living, but before she acquires that knowl-
edge 9TH she and her husband go through
many agoniZing experiences.
No young bride ignorantly wrestling with
the vagaries of gas range, and weeping over
sad cake, and jaundiced biscuit, ever thanked
her mother for not teaching her how to
cook. Nor is any young husband, as he sits
down to meal Of underdone meat, and
NO6OSoDAOS
cost three times what they should, filled with
gratitude towards the woman whose ma
ternal tenderness foisted upon him wife
who had to learn her business at the expense
of his digestion and pocketbook.
The parents who are SO tender Of their
children that they never teach them self-de-
NAL, or self-control are responsible for prac-
tically all Of the wrecked homes. For it is
the spoiled girls and boys who quarrel and
fight when they get married. Neither one
knows what it is to give up, or recognizes
! any law except his or her own pleasure and
when these undisciplined wills clash matri-
monial bonds are burst and hearts break.
And 1t is the parents who cannot endure
to make Johnny or Mary do any useful work,
or stick to anything after they get tired of
it, who are first aid to all the failures of the
world. Johnny and Mary have not the grit
to KEEP on with Job when it's hard, or to
get up early and work late, or to submit to
discipline. They are always looking for
something easy like they had at home, and
somebody to pamper them like mother did,
and they never find it, and so they drift into
the ranks of those who never make good.
It's a great temptation to try to protect
your children from every harsh wind that
blows. But it is a fatal mistake Life is
not a bed of roses. 1t is a battle field, and
only those win out who are trained down I'M
til they are as hard as nails.

The Passing Of Boot Hill

A FTER life's "fitful fever" some Of the
N old-fashioned wild-western bad men
a are not sleeping well.
The Boot Hill cemetery near Sidney,
Nebraska, which was in part the kind OF a
cemetery it's name implies-that is, the rest
ing place of certain persons who died with
their boots on-now is vacant. Soldiers
too. had been buried there, soldiers OF On
Gle Sam, and many Il them doubtless had
passed to their last reward from scenes OF
violence.
But 1T was as repository for the re-
mains of the hard men Of early days, Then
Sidney was one of the wildes of frontier
stations. that Boot Hill held grewsome re-
nown If, as the erudite Dr.. Hudson sug-
gests, an aura from an unusually tempes-
tuous life is prone to hang about the resting
place of the late actor, thus assuming the
position and rating of a ghost, Boot Hill
must have been a spookish locality.
But no more. The government has NOV
ed the soldiers bodies from the old burial
ground to the national cemetery at Fort
MCPHERSON, Nebraska. And since it was
impossible to separate the soldiers from the
civilians, all the bodies were moved, and
all now await the last bugle call under the
Stars and Stripes well as beneath the
wide and starry sky"
And any local 1chabod Crane or, may nap,
Tam o'Shanter whose route lay along the
rim of Boot Hill now may exhale sigh of
profound relief-and omit to whistle nightly
as he wends homeward.

(COpyripht. 1022l

vt Is natural thing that parents should
wish to protect their children against
- the hardships Of life, but they make
mistake when they try to accomplish this
by over-tenderness.
For parental love can only hedge in our
childhood. When we come to manhood and
womanhood we must not only stand alone.
but we face a world that nothing can soften
for us, and in which there is no place for
weaklings, and mamas pets. Then we sur
vive or perish; we go down into the gutter
or climb to the top of the ladder, according
to the strength that has been bred in us, and
our ability to fight, and to endure.
This is what makes it SO cruel for fathers
and mothers to make their children soft
through their misguided affection. It sends
the youngsters forth unframed, unprepared
to cope with even the ordinary difficulties of
every day existence. It turns their mole hills
Of trials into insurmountable mountains Of
tribulations. It converts trifles into TRACE
dies, and so the parents love, that was
meant to bless, becomes a curse as black
as malice itself could have devised.
Not long ago I was witness to pathetic
and poignant illustration Of the unwisdom
of this over-tender mother love. In a far
country was staying at hotel at which
there was a young bride who was going
through such agonies of inconsistencies that
it Frustrated her in body and soul, and made
her husband utterly miserable, Cor it is no
cheering thing for man to come home at
night to a wife who is sodden with tears,
and breaking her heart for those she has
left bheind her.
In this case the husband was a splendid
young fellow, with brilliant future before
him if he stayed 10 or 10 years in foreign
parts. His wife loved him. She was am
bilious for him, and wanted him to succeed,
but she was spoiled child and did not know
how to meet the conditions that confronted
her.
She told me that until she started on this
journey half around the world she had never
slept night out of her mothers room, or
been separated from her mother single day,
Her mother could not bear to be parted from
her, so SIC had never been sent off to
school, or allowed to make visit without
mother being along, and when she was taken
away from mother she was utterly lost. She
couldn't eat anything but mothers cooking
She thought everything wrong that was diff
ferent from mothers point Of view. She
had always appealed to mother for advice,
anu she had no courage or her own opinions.
Inasmuch as every girl is liable to marry
and have to go where her husbands fortunes
call him. how wrong thing 1t is for mother
to tie her daughters to her apron strings,
and make them utterly dependent upon her
instead of teaching them to rely on them
selves. For this young woman's case is not

Barrie 5 Leaning 1t to Youth

~ NGLAND is more or less stirred up just
now over a brilliant tribute by Sir
James Barrie to the younger genera
ton. Some of the stirring is Of joyous ap-
probation; other of it-well, otherwise
Sir James who can say anything beauti-
fully, said in most beautiful way that the
old men of the world had got us into the
late war and the young men had pulled US
out of 1t, at a tremendous sacrifice. More
than theoretically, he suggested that the cor
rect thing now would be to let youth try it's
hand at fixing things up, since, as may not
be doubted, age ha: done not much better
since tn. war than before it and in it. ga
splendid program" applauds The Man
chester Guardian, and adds: would that
youth would carry it out"
All, yes
But the matter of fixing things is not a
matter of month or a year, or a decade.
And will not the gallant youth of twenty
five all too soon become the grizzled offender
wide Sir Jamesy of fifty just as he always
has done, in the process of a quarter OF a
century? Is it not by way of being a sort
Of harshness or extortion to expect that the
men and women born in the decade bet~een
1890 and 1900 have all the wisdom and all
the virtue which hose men and women
born between 1850 and 1870 are supposed so
conspicuously to lack?
On the side of Sir James we see the con-
temporary representation Of slippered pan
falcons squabbling to no great end at Genoa,
as they squabbled to no great end at Yer
sailles.
And yet-and yet with England still as
the example, may not the lusty young gen.
Grafton two-score years hence feel that II

NO worse than our old men OF today; the
Cecils and the Grays and the Asquiths and
the Balfours, now beclouded with Hell

MUSIC AND DEMOCRACY
Bv DR.. Frank Crane

Music, like all the other arts. has been
crippled and confined by snobbishness.
There are very many people in the world
interested in music, but most OF them are
interested in it only as an accomplishment,
a. means of personal enjoyment, or fad.
Really, however, music is essential to de-
mocracy.
But this does not mean the music of grand
operas or of concerts where v1rtuos1 play,
or of selections from Chopin performed by
young ladies upon pianos.
The music to which public attention
should be given is mass music. This means
choral music in which the people sing to-
gether, or orchestral music in which they
play together. If these two forms OF musical
expression were SO widespread as to cover
practically the whole population, 1T would De
of enormous benefit in unifying the mind
of the people, in Frightening their lives, anu
in relieving the whole commonplace OF our
industrial civilization.
The Master of Balliol declared that the
first business of the state is "to develop as
widely as possible the practice OF choral
singing. and whatever facilities allow OF en-
semble playing as " ell :"
Choral singing should occupy the nrsC
Mace in musical education. 1t can be en-
gagged in at a minimum of expense and Dy
the simplest means. The ability to sing in
chorus is much more widely extended than
is commonly supposed, and choral singing
should be thoroughly taught in the school
Some of the advantages of choral singing
may be thus listed:
Large numbers an be dealt with eff1c1ent-
ly by single teacher, and the supply OF
teachers is ample.
The sexes are on terms OF equallty
It provides opportunity for social life with
strong .,ad healthy common interest.
1t uuickens the Imagination and promotes
every wholesome and refining Influence that
moves masses Of people.
1t best meets the demand for comradeship
and fellowship.
It promotes the spirit Of discipline, Or
ganization, and team play.
It is as adaptable for rural communities
as to cities.
Best of all, it enables the people them
selves to create and to take part, instead
of merely watching the creations of others
A person might attend concerts and grana
opera till three-score years and ten ana not
know much about music or get the soul OF
music in him. But he could not habltually
sing in chorus, or perform in an orcht stra
without absorbing real knowledge OF music
and being inoculate6 with its beneficial re-
suits.
ga singing nation is happy nation" ana
surely the first business Of state Is to
make it's people happy.
