THE BOY AND dad"

Atlanta Constitution: In an article
on "Age and Modern Youth" In
Harper's Magazine, Meredith Nichol-
son defends the bright, advanced
youngsters of today as to the charge
Of parental disrespect, so often
brought against them.
It is pointed out that people who
sometimes arraign them on that
charge don't understand them at all,
and so pronounce hap-hazard. They
are sentneced without going into the
case-"withOut trial"
The point is made, by their de-
fender, that the boy Of today, in all
well governed families, is more che
eomrade Of his father than the boy
ever was, and where this the status,
all things work together for good In
that household
Taking up the charge Of less con-
sideration In the attitude Of children
toward their parents, Mr.. Nicholson
says:

The Manhattan Tribune 0ners THIS
good suggestion which applies to
Dickinson county as well: About
a thousand dollars goes out Of Riley
county every year for hunters IL
censes. Mighty little good comes
from it. While reforming taxes let's
abolish the state fish and game de-
partment and put this $1,000 In the
hands of the county commissioners
to nurture the fish and game. We
will have more and keep the money
at home" This sending Of fees to
Topeka is merely Il part Of the sys-
tenn grown up in Kansas that keeps
the various minor job holders In sal

PLUCKY KANSAS

There was a girl queen born a
myriad ages ago. In the day of fairy
land, and ut her birth the stars sing
ing together In the morning of time
bethought them of the gift they
should bring her, to be woven by the
great shuttle of events into the girl
queens destiny. And one star said
"Let us give her beauty" And they
sang Of beauty, but 1t Is such an old
story and such Il short story that
they tired of it; and another star
said: LET us give her wealth." but
the song they made up to go with
that gift was such heeting song
that they rejected 1t. Said another
Fame" but the song Of fame was
hollow, and the song Of glory which
another star began faded into an
echo. SO the stars were silent, and
the girl queen. in her crib swinging
upon a spider web, languished for an
hour without destiny.
Then up spake one quiet star and
said: let us give the girl queen a
gift such as the gods receive and
thus It was the girl queen was given
the gift of Pluck; and the stars
changed martial brass and booming
drums and blood tinging flies into
her baby ears, and 10! when she
came into the fullness of her heri-
tage the queens brave eyes glowed
In beauty. Wealth was her hand
maiden. while Fame sang songs of
her through all the world, and Glory
printed her name upon the everlast-
ing hills. And as the years flew
past the pale, quiet star which gave
the queen her destiny watched over
her and led her upward and onward
-ad astra per aspera.
When the myth tales of the sis
terhOod Of states shall be told this

1t was nearly sixty years age
that Anson Burlingame. standing or

streets Of the pioneer town Of Leav'
enworth, said: "If had 1t In my

all her difficulties. Two genera

NEW YORK, November l6.-The re-
markable crop Of stock dividends an
nounced Wednesday and today fur
nished the chief incentive in the mar
ket. Most Of the stocks directly af-
fected showed that the news had been
fully discounted in the previous ad-

interest in the stocks of other COM

have similar distributions to make.
How They Loom Up.
Nobody has yet been able to dis

is to be a handsome distribution Is
regarded as certain. The Kresge stock
dividend, If 1t comes, will come next

cent.
Despite the constant denials that
anything favorable is impending Tor
Corn Products. those who have been

distribution is inevitable. sooner or
later. The way Continental Can has
stood up all through the recent de-
cline has convinced the street rumors
Of stock dividend In its case are

lump payment Of war profits made
by its subsidiary. the United States
Cartridge Company.
Motor stocks Very Active.
The enormous trading in General

stock crossed Is, was one OF the main
Incidents of the day.
The buying came from houses having

based upon the expectation that the
stock would be restored to a dividend
basis with an initial SO per cent pay
