You need only to know the facts to have deep-rooted, uncompronising attitude against child labor When I started my own investigation and began a 4,00O-mile trip through Northern States for this series of articles in Col Hers, I the fence, just as most people were at that time through lack of definite facts. 1 saw heart-rendering things going on. You know, especially if you have read of some of them spe- ciGc cases ike my little Jimmie in truck gardens and Joe in the coal mines, kids in tenernents on the Eastern Seaboard and in factories almost everywhere. But those are not enough upon which to base a scientific generality. Life is crammed full of injustice, cruelty, and brutality, and so, perhaps. these are special cases They aren't. I found the answer, an the fence The cost of child labor to- day is tremendous, tremendous in dol lars, and cents, in Stunted children, in deformed lives. No matter how plain, everyday, and dispassionate you are, you cannot see it in two ways. Nor need you be sentimental to hate child, labor.
 The proof lies elsewhere than in Jim mic. and Joe, for they are merely at the btglnnlng Ot their careers, still pretty healthy specimens. The proof lies in the fact that from two or three times many children are killed and injured by industrial accidents are adults, approximately.
 It lies in the fact that working chil- dren contribute four times their share to juvenile delinquency Again you find 1t when you study the school records and see that the child workers are thrown hope1essly back.
 Put it this way, not to be sensational, but merely to interpret the records ; Child labor sends boys and girls to re- form schools and iails, denies them edu- cation and makes them into weddings as they grow to adulthood
 That statement is, of course a gener- alization-there thousands of big healthy specimens of humanity, now wealthy and wise, well educated and happy who went through the child-labor mill in their day But according to aver ages, winch by no means show the worst every case of the latter kind is excep- in some degree. The average child who goes through it is injured by 1t, needless 1y, bruta11y.
 Child labor puts the adults into the ranks of the marginal laborerS. They are the first to be fired and the last to be hired, and they don't amount to much when they do work During the last depression the Minneapolis Board of Education noted: "The group of boys between sixteen and twenty-one who have passed the erEsndbOy stage and are not trained for anything else are perhaps our greater prob1en1-''
 Look at the proof step by step. To the medical men the whole thing is cut and dried. The strains of indus try are not for the child unless we want to rear group of physical in- feriors to whoop up the death rate. A committee working for the Chi1dren's

With September at hand and the va
cation season at or near an end. it,
perfectly natural that times and thing
pertaining are quieting down and tn
resort is assuming the even tenor O
its way.
But the outlook for the balance O.
the month and probably longer, is tha-
the week-ends will be as lively a:
formerly, from the fact that reserva.
tons have and are being made to ac-
cOmmodate many that will be here al
those periods.
While the occupants of cottages who
spent their vacations with us for two
weeks or more, have, the greater part
of them, packed their belongings and
returned to their homes, yet many
others have made arrangements for
accommodations for the week-ends-
hence the probabilities are that we
shall have a goodly number of visit
Ors practically all through the month
or longer.
Then the fish fans are in evidence
at each weekend and so far along
their numbers have diminished but
little, if any; therefore, that sport will
be followed up just as long as the fish
continue to take the hook and the
weather remains good.
The last weekend and especially
Sunday and Monday was a repetition
of previous week-ends with those who
come for fishing.
They were very materially held up
on Saturday afternoon and night on
account of the heavy down pour of
rain, which this section received. An
exceedingly heavy rain from reports
of automobilists from up State and
well beyond the Pennsylvania line, the

hence the hold up-when many loads
Of the fish fans did not arrive here
until Sunday morning.
The fishing has improved very much
within the last week or ten DAYS; so
much as to give the devotees encour-
agement and they surely are taking
advantage of the change. There was a
drop off in August for some unac-
countable reason that almost disheart-
ened the fans, but the coming back of
them has greatly encouraged them and
as September is usually considered
one among the best months for hook
and line fishing and the weather is
more apt to be congenial for the pur-
pose, it is more than likely we shall
have many Of the nimrods with us
during this month.

The logical export market, of is country.
If the Canadian hooch is exported by railroad egiti
mate steamship it's easy for American prohibition seuths
to seize at the port railroad terminal where it enters
the United States.
The ideal arrangement for booteggcrs is to have the
liquor exported out of Canada by motor truck, which be
met after midnight lonesome road and rushed
the line.
Following few shootings in connection with this method
the government in Ontario made it illegal to transport
liquor the public highways except to nearest railroad
station or ship dock

could be construed giving it the right to transport
liquor over the highways by motor truck for export
However, the executive branch Of the Ontario govern

and enforce the law previously.
The Ontario governments stand is that the court judg

ties would be out of luck in Ontario any other Canadian
