Parents make unnecessary bells

rannies. They are determined to
make their children rubber stam4- IS
of themselves, no matter how differ
emily nature has created them, and
so they force the youngsters into
their own mold, even at the cost of
crushing genius and wrecking lives.
With the average father and moth
er the standard Of right and wrong
is what they like to do, and what
they did when they were young.
Every time their children want to
do what they enjoy doing, and what
young people are doing now, it is
at the price of stormy scenes and
mothers tears and father 81 anger.
Just a little personal liberty; just
a little sympathy with the craving
of youth for pleasure; just a little
evidence that father and mother are
friends, as well as parents, who want
to help them on to a good time in

Children make unnecessary bells
for their parents by their GOODNESS
and neglect. They are so intent on
their own lives, so occupied with
their own interests, so eager in the
pursuit of pleasure that they forget
the fathers and mothers who have
toiled and sacrificed for them, and
who can be repaid in no other coin
than love and gratitude.

THE WISH FOR HAPPINESS


If We know these things, happ
re We if We do them.-St. John l9:l'
Let me talk Of happiness for
six days-only one minute a day.
The wish for happiness Is nat
ural; all men Share it.
It is the law of life itself that
every being strives toward the
perfection of its kind.
Every drop of sap in the tree
flows toward foliage and fruit.
Every drop of blood in the bird
beats toward flight and song.
In conscious being this
movement toward perfection
must take a conscious form.
This conscious form is happi-
ness, the rhythm of the inward
life. the melody of a heart that
has found its keynote.
To say that all men long for
this is simply to confess that
all men are human, and that
their thoughts and feelings are
an essential part OF their life.
Virtue means q completed
manhood. The joyful welfare Of
the soul belongs to the fulness
of that ideal. Holiness Is
Wilderness.
In striving to realize the true
aim of our being, we find the
wish for happiness implanted in
the very heart of our effort.
Christ alone can teach US how
to attain it.

TRADE YOUR SCRUB

Who wouldn't gladly say farewell
forever to a sire of uncertain ances-

him, without price, or boot or bounty,
blueblooded aristocrat of royal line
age?
That is the sort of trade proposed
on a wholesale plan along the route
of the Purebred Sire Special, to be
run over the Colorado lines of the
Burlington and Colorado and South
ern Railways, by the Agricultural De-
partments of these companies in Co
operation with the Extension Service
of Colorado Agricultural College.
While the actual exchange on this
one-sdded basis will not be made until
October. contracts are now being
signed by breeders of registered beef
cattle and hogs, who will furnish the
purebred animals and take scrubs
sight unseen as their full pay.
The object of the campaign is ito
stimulate the breeding of purebred
stock; to encourage the use of better
sires and to improve the quality of
Colorado livestock" The purebred
animals are to be Hereford and
Shorthorn beef breeds. and Poland

the United States Department of Ag-

The purebred animals will ride in

The Dead Are to Rest

Practically all of the American sol
der dead that are to be returned
from Europe are now at home. The
Official figures in the war department
at Washington show that America lost
77,404 men during the war, and that
no trace of about 300 bodies can be
found, probably due to the fact that
they were blown into small bits by
shell explosions. About $4,000 bodies
have been returned to the United
States, leaving approximately 10000
Americans to remain buried in Europe
It is expected that the work of graves
registration service will be finished in
another year. It includes the con-
struction of buildings. roads. walks.
etc, in the six big cemeteries in
France, one cemetery in England and
one in Belgium. Until the time when
Theodore Roosevelt announced that
the body of his son Kermit would not
be brought home but would be permit
ted to remain on the soil Of France,
where it has been originally buried,
there was a sentiment so strong in
favor of returning the soldier dead
that the government believed it had
another problem to add to those it al.
ready was trying to solve. II Colonel
Roosevelt had spoken earlier it is
likely that considerably more than
half would have remained there.
