NERVOUS HOMES
By H. AddinQton Bruce

" on write me, madam, that you are great
Iy concerned about the increasing
nervousness Of your little boy. You
mention particularly his restlessness and eX-
citabiity and irritability so extreme that he
flares up if crossed in anything.
The fact that a physician has failed to
find any bodily state that would aCcole-.C for
this is at once relief and a surprise to
you. Why, you ask, should your boy be SO
nervous so difficult to manage, if he is not
afflicted with any of the ills known to b.
causes of nervousness?
Well, madam, it may be that he is nerv-
Gus simply because he lives in a nervous
home.
You yourself, as l happen to know, are
restless rather than reposeful. You are al
ways looking for something to do you keep
perpetually on the go. You have let me say
it frankly and in the kindliest spirit, a yeri-
table amusement-Craving.
Only this summer, as the society column
in the newspaper has informed me, you and
your husband toured Europe by automobile,
and you took your little boy with you. The
incessant change of scene and the great va
rfety of incidents and sensations no doubt
delighted you.
But at the same time you must have found
them somewhat fatigun&, and I am conf
dent your boy found them more than some-
what fatiguing.
Children too many parents seem to forget,
do not adapt themselves readily to rapidly
changing surroundings. Travel may be an
easy means of providing them with enter
talnment, but it is entertainment that really
taxes their nervous systems severely.
And now that you are back home, can you
honestly say that you have given your child
quoting environment?
Do YOU make it point to keep lin away
from most Of the numerous callers who come
to see YOU? Or do you give him reason to
feel that most Of them are really calling on
him?
Have you made any real effort to insure
for him some rest every morning and every
afternoon? What is even more Important
have you really tried to set him an example
OF control in speech and behavior?
There is a saying, "The fruit does not fall
far from the tree If your home, madam,
is what may Justly be called nervous home
l would indeed urge it on you that you do
not have to look further to account for the
disquieting condition Of your boy.
And the remedy in that case is not far to
seek. The observations 1 have made the
questions I have asked surely suggest it to
you.
If you plead that you are now "too old"
to change your ways, and changing them, to
change the home environment with them
then you will either have to entrust your
boy to some one who will provide him with
a kind Of environment better suited to his
needs, Or reconcile yourself to seeing him
continually grow more nervous. There is no
alternative

Fortunate for Farms

4 MEXICAN farming, as viewed through
~ the annual report Of the federal de-
partment of agriculture, has had an
uncommonly well-fortuned year. Harvests,
though not of a record volume, are the chest
balanced" since 1920 and represent the best
income. Their gross value bids fair to reach
twelve billion dollars, which is some five
hundred on II. than in 1928, and
nearly two and half billion above 1922.
These suspicious figures, not only for
those whose living is drawn directly from
the soil, but also for the vast range of bust
ness inter. dependent on them. Particu-
larly cheering is the report of better balanced
crops, for this indicates improvement in
methods that is fundamental and that may
be expected to yield results increasingly

V I is a striking tribute to the resourcerul-
1 ness Of Coffee county farms that from
three to five cars of corn week are
being exported through the agency Of sim
gle firm at Douglas. Other shipments Of
grain, along with large sales Of sweet po-
tatoes, so to swell the county's cash income
from food crops, A potato curing plant and
facilities for Smelling and grading corn ap-
pear to have had much to do with develop
Ing these new channels of prosperity.
Wherever such conditions obtain in Geor-
gia, times are good. Fortunately, too, more
and more towns and cities are making it to
the advantage of the farms round about to
produce such commodities, instead of de-
pending on a single crop. Communities that
so in for dairying seem to fare particularly
well. Let these policies continue spreading
and Georgia's economic interests will be
upon an incomparably sounder basis than
ever in the past.

4 Business Plea for Peace

- USINESS wisdom and business character
K never spoke to better advantage than in
the resolution adopted by the Associ-
ated Advertising Clubs of the World at their
London convention appealing to men of judg-
ment and of conscience everywhere to exert
their influence against that which engenders
hatred and for that which fosters good will
among the nations of the earth. Referring
to the "unspeakable tragedy" of the late
world conflict, the resolution runs:
eve declare it our firm conviction that
war a method of adjusting international
misunderstandng>is supreme peril of HUI
manity, and we affirm that the leaders of
the nations ought now to be called upon to
take such steps as will guarantee the security
of the people against the return of the use of
aggressive force. We condemn war as the
enemy of human progress and futile as
means of adjusting disputes among the ma
lions. -. We pledge our utmost endeayor to
awaken a more intense public sentiment
against all those insidous movements which
have tendency to arouse passions and
to favor all proper efforts which are work
ing to accomplish enduring brotherhood and
peace. We call upon the Advertising Clubs
OF the World to make this message of inter
national good will part of their permanent
program until war shall have a place only
in history, and until world service comrade-
ship and internationally cooperation shall
become universal"
Cogent in themselves, these words wax
thousand times more meaningfuI when we
nete that they came ringing from a company
Of the keenest and clearest minds Of our day.
Back OF them are business leaders, not from
one or two countries only, but from the fore
most of the entire world-from Canada, from
the United States, from England, France,
Holland Germany, Spain, the Irish Free
State, Ulster, Scotland, Denmark, Switzer-
land, Sweden, Belgium India, New Zealand.
Australia, and Hawaii. With so wide a cir
Gle of substantial influences at work for the
prevention of war and the promotion OF
peace good results are predesuned
Because of their numbers and their
strength, much will be expected Of the Adj
yerusing Clubs OF America on the march for

We Do Move

American motorist in just four hours.

SMITHS FERRY CONFERENCE

Quite number are going. The
time is near. The managers say:
We plan to start classes on Wed
nesday morning, July 3Oth. Tues
day is the day to reach camp. Plan
to be at Horseshoe Bend by 2 p. m
Tuesday afternoon, July 29th.
If you wish to go report to Mr.
Mason at once
A course in pageantry will be Civ
en- at the conference This course
will cover the simple, fundamental
principles of pageantry, especially in
relations to pageants for church
work. This course is intended to en-
able the young people of the
churches to present pageants.
If present plans work out, a pag-
cant will be prepared by the class,
which will be presented the last day
of the conference. This pageant
will be based on the religious and
historical situation that existed in
the days of the Pilgrim fathers. 1t
is the desire of those planning this
Conference that the pageant become
an annual affair, developing each
year some new phase of the religious
history of our country.
1t is our request that those attend
ing the Conference bring a few
things with. them, which could be
worked into costumes appropriate
for that period. Indian blankets,
moccasins, large white bib aprons,
white cloth to make neck kerchiefs,
and cured animal pelts can be used.

PHONE TAX rs
DISCONTINUED

Telephone users appreciate the
announcement that the taxing of
telephone messages came to an end
at midnight July 2, according to j.
S. Goul, manager of the M. S. T. &
T. Co. Commenting today on the re-
peal of the section of the Federal
Revenue Act of 1921 under which
the taxes were imposed, Mr.. Goul de-
clared that the telephone company
anticipates and is prepared for a
marked increase in traffic, made up
largely of calls of the ''short haul
type.
"By far the greatest number of
our toll calls are to points that are
relatively nearby" said Mr.. Goul in
commenting on the effect of the re-
moval of the tax "The law provid-
ed that there should be a five cent
tax on telephone messages for which
the toll charge was more than four
teen cents and not more than fifty
cents. On a message to Bennett
Creek, for example, for which the
toll rate is fifteen cents, tax of five
cents applied, so that the telephone
user paid a total of twenty cents.
Since July End the charge is only
fifteen cents.
This does not mean," Mr.. Goul
stated, "that the telephone service
does not pay its proportion Of taxes.
The federal telephone message tax
was assessed against the telephone
user, and was in addition to the reg
ular federal and other taxes which
the telephone company pays.
During the period when it was
necessary to use every means to meet
the enormous expenses of the war,
the public was glad to pay a tax on
telephone messages; but it now seems
reasonable and proper that this tax
should be removed, especially since
transportation taxes were discontin-
ued year ago."
Manager Goul stated that the tele-
phone company anticipated an in
creased use of the toll service, partie-
ularly of the "short haul" toll serv-
i've. I'VE are ready with equipment
and personnel to meet this demand, "
he declared.

GREETINGS

1t is with a real pleasure that |
assume the ownership of the Noun
tain Home Republican. After care
. fully looking over the field l came
to the conclusion that the Mountain
Home region had great future. AS
soon as water is procured for the
100000 acres comprising the Noun
tain Home-Sunnyside tract this will
be one of the best projects in the en-
tire West.
l expect to carry on in the same
manner in which my predecessors,
the Lindsay Brothers, have done.
The paper will be strictly independ-
ent in politics, with this exception:
Whenever an outstanding man of our
community is out for state or ma
tional office he will have our earn
est support. We will be for Noun
tam Home first, last and all the time.
There are two things which shall
strive to promote: The first is wa
ter for this great tract of land. With
over 5000 families added to the COM
munity, our readers can readily see
the prosperity which will follow in
the wake OF the irrigation project.
The land is rich, and will yield a
bountiful harvest.
In our mountains lies great min
eral belt which up to tie present
has been scorcely prospected, let
alone developed. This will in future
years yield an immense revenue 10
Elmore county. This development
should be encouraged, and this we
shall strive to do.
We wish to assure the people OF
Mountain Home and vicinity that
our latchstring will always remain
on the outside.

ROHLFING'S FATHER

States Belief That Son Did Not Muir
der Mills-0ther Charges
Reported

E. Rohlfing, Sr., arrived Sunday
last from Portland in response to a
telegram from his son, e. Rohlfing,
who is in the Blmore county jail
charged with the murder of f. Mills,
who was found dead on the highway
week before last.
After talking over the case with
Ernest, Mr.. Rohlfing announced that
he did not believe that his boy muir
dered Mills, but that the unfortunate
affair was an accident. Mr.. Rohlfing
returned to Portland on Monday.
1t is now reported that young
Rohlfing is wanted in other sections
of the Northwest. He is charged
with robbing a man in Oregon.
There are no new developments in
the case. Attorneys Watts and De-
lano have been retained to defend
Rohlfing and it is probable that the
case win be tried at the October
term of court.
The funeral of F. Mills was held
in the McBratney & Zacher chapter

ing conducted by the Rev. Or.

BANK STATEMENT
rs A "DARB"

The First National Bank of Noun
tain Home has bank statement in
this weeks Republican which is, to
use the classical English expression,
"a darb." The statement shows that
the deposits total over half mil
lion dollars, and the institution does
not owe the Federal Reserve Bank a
red cent.
Two years ago the bank reopened
after its failure. The depositors were
made stockholders under the plan
of reorganization. At that time the
institution owed the Federal Reserve
practically 100000 in honest-to-
goodness money Many of our peo-
pie were of the opinion that the di-
rectors could not stand up under the
terrific burden, but with a determine
alton which is worthy Of special
commendation the boys buckled
down and turned the trick. Today
there is no sounder financial insti-
tuition in the entire West than the
First National Bank Of Mountain
Home.
It's future is assured.

TO OUR FRIENDS

With this issue The Mountain
Home Republican passes into the
hands of George L. Whorton, of YER
ington, Nevada. MIR Whorton comes
to us highly recommended as to his
character as a man. He is at the
present time postmaster at Yering-
ton, and is a newspaper man of ex-
perience Mr.. Whorton served in the
flying corps during the late unpleas-
antness, and has made several long
flights. We believe that our people
will like him, and that he will give
Mountain Home good paper. He
and his wife expect to take up their
residence in Mountain Home about
August 15.
We are frank in saying that we
never expect to make the lasting
friendships in our future field that
we have in Mountain Home. 1t can't
be done more than once in life
time. We relinquish the Republican /
with a real regret, although we reals
ize that the step is necessary.
We believe that Mountain Home
has a great future. This immense
tract of land is necessary to the
United States, and it cannot be long
until the life-giving water will turn
the now barren section into a para
disc of homes. Our mountains are
filled with mineral deposits which
have not as yet been scratched. When
developed they will yield a rich har-
vest. The climate comes as near be-
ing perfect as anything we have ever
encountered.
We wish to thank our many
friends for the sunshine which they
have thrown across our paths while
we were editing the Republican.
This memory will remain with us as
long as we live. May peace and plen-
ty be with you all the days of your
lives.
We earnestly request our friends
and patrons to extend TO Mr. and
Mrs. Whorton the same courtesy and
consideration which they have Civ
en- us during our residence in this
community.
