Those That "Ditch" the Youngsters

Every newspaper has it's favor
lite item that never happens and
SO can never be printed. Here is the
item the papers have been yearn-
ing for during years of sizzling
repression.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Jones, who
live at the corner Of Blue and
Blah streets, were hauled into
court today to answer the charge
Of contributing to juvenile delin-
quency. The evidence against them
was overwhelming. Their son Tom
Jones, aged fourteen, had been
out swiping automobiles, hose,
automobile spotlights, bottles of
milk, and the loose odds and ends
that may be picked up by a boy
at the back Of a lot after dark
any night. He and his gang have
been worrying the juvenile court
more or less for year.
"The evidence showed that the
parents have been ten years bridge
minister's, incorrigible movie fans,
and habitual evening automobile
riders. Moreover, it is their proud
boast that they always ditch the
kid when they want to have a
good time. They 'ditched the kid
this summer and were gone six or
eight weeks, leaving him with a
neighbor. They 'ditched the kid
last winter when they went to
Kansas City to the automobile
show. They 'ditched the kid the
other night when they went to
some rollickaboo at the country
club.
and while they were ditching
the kid, he and the devil were
digging in entrenching them
selves in all the meanness that an
unguided boy can invent prepar-
ing to get on the tax roll and eat
taxes as a swell idler, lying loafer,
and a crook who will consume
court costs while society is put
ting him in his proper restraint.
Stand up, you Joneses, said the
judge, squaring back in his chair.
wish could send you to the
penitentiary for life and put your
boy under the uplifting influence
of some poor but decent home.
You say you can't keep him in
nights. Did you try? Don't you
pike off to all the high jinks that
are going on in this town your

Sincerity.

Sincerity is the thing that
bridges the gulf between desire
and success.
Without sincerity the aims and
purposes of men and women must
surely fail.
Abraham Lincoln had desire
to be of service to, humankind;
even as he split rails in the thick
cts of Illinois, he felt he had a dis
tinct mission to perform in this
world. He saw the goal before
him; but twas a long way off.
There was distance between. So
he bridged that distance with sin
cerity. AS a rail-splitter in the
Illinois thickets he was faithful;
as president of the United States
he was also faithful. Sincerity
breeds faithfulness.
Sincerity means giving ourselves,
our all, to- the task.
There is beautiful japanese
story, barking back to ancient
days. 1t tells of Ko-Nagai, love-
ly maiden with a voice sweeter
than the voices of all her COM
panions. She lived in the village
where the bells of the temples
were cast. And one day when the
bell for a great temple was being
cast, Ka-Ngai threw herself into
the molten metal that the bell
might have a song.
Just myth, perhaps, but aglow
with the light of truth.
The task cannot be rightly done
unless we give ourselves to it, to
the uttermost.
The teacher in her schoolroom,
the laborer in his ditch, the bank
er in his office-all must give
themselves to their work, with
thoughtlessness of pain or plea
sure, if the task is to be trans
former into great service.
Insincerity spells certain defeat;
is a forerunner of sorrow.-Mani-
towoc Herald-News.

one Sparrow and three Quailes in

HARDING
FRIEND OF GOOD ROADS

The late Warren G. Harding,
President of the United States,
thought as clearly and as logically
upon the great question of road
construction and improvement as
he did upon the public questions
of far-reaching Importance. Now
that death had added emphasis to
the words of wisdom he uttered,
it is we'll to recall his pronounce
ment in regard to reads. In his
first message to Congress-, Mr..
Harding said:
Transportation over the high
ways is little less important IRE
ferring to the railways), but the
problems relate to construction
and development, and deserve your
most earnest attention, because
we are laying a foundation for a
long time to come, and the Gre
alton is very difficult to visualize
in its great possibilities.
THE highways are not only
feeders to the railroads and afford
relief from their local burdens,
they are actually lines of motor
traffic in interstate commerce.
They are the smaller arteries Of
the larger portion of our COM
merce, and the motor car has be-
come an indispensable instrument
in our political, social, and indus
trial life.
There is begun a new era in
highway construction the outlay
for which runs far into millions
of dollars. Bond issues by road
districts, counties, and S tat e S
mount to enormous figures, and
the country is facing such an out
lay that it is vital that every effort
shall be directed against wasted
effort and unjustifable expendi-
ture.
"The Federal Government can
place no inhibition on the expendi-
ture in the several states; but,
since Congress has embarked upon
policy of assisting the states in
highway improvement, wisely, |
believe it can assert a wholly be-
coming influence in shaping policy.
with the principle of Federal
participation acceptably establish
ed probably never to- be abandon
ed, it is important to exert FEEDER
al influence in developing compre-
hensive plans looking to the pro-
motion of commerce and apply our
expenditure in the surest way to
guarantee a public return for
money expended"

LONDON November 6.-The~contra-

Athens concerning the suggested
change in the Greek constitution is
apparently due to censorship, but the
latest statements from usually reliable
sources indicate that the establishment
of a republic in Greece is not imme-

The Athens correspondent of the

been definitely shelved for the present.
Premier Gonatas and Col. Plastiras
refused to proclaim a republic on their
own responsibility and called a meet
