A shocked nation, reading the
amazing revelations of youthful de
pravity in the Chicago case, is seek
ing to place the blame for such CON
ditions Little time need be wasted
in debating that,
The responsibility can be squarely
placed in the homes of such boys.
Parents and relatives are the guilty
ones. There are American fathers
and mothers who do their duty and
realize their responsibilities. There
are others who do not.
Thousands of boys and girls, sons
and daughters of blindly careless
Parents, are sowing the seeds of
disaster in this pleasure-mad age.
Supplied with money in plenty, ac-
countable to no one for their COM
ings and goings, with a contemptu-
GUS independence of discipline, they
are disgracing the very name of
youth.
Are the parents of these boys and
girls mad? Have they no idea of
what the whole business is leading
40 and no sense of responsibility for
it? Are they prepared to take the
consequences OF tnelf gross neglect
Of parental duty?
Some of them will wake up when
1t is too late, weep and wiring their
hands and wonder why their sons
OF daughters are in disgrace Will
they then realize who is to blame?
1t is time for the community to
brace up. 1t isn't the war. it isn't
the freedom of the age, it isn't the
Volstead law. it isn't the general
prosperity Of the country that is
causing the youth to run wild. It
is the muddle-headed foolishness of
parents, who are not on the job.
A father or mother who does not
know who his or her sons or
daughters companions are and how
-1hey spend their time and money is
false to the trust which God has
given.

Citizens OF EllsWOrth

To the Citizens of Ellsworth;
Having rendered my resignation as
your Red Gross public health nurse,
which took effect June IS, / could
not leave without first telling you
how much I have appreciated the CO.
operation that has been shown the
public health work
Much of the success of the work
has been due to the faithful service
of the chairman Of the executive
board Rev. George S. Brookes, and
Mrs H. NJ Hall, chairman of the
nursing committee, as well as the
members of the committee who have
been busy people but have given of
their time generously.
I am grateful to the teachers and
school officials for their help in car
rying on the health program in the
schools, and / want to take this OPP
portunity of thanking the children
for their support They have been
big help, and the bright sunny faces
and CHEEKY Hello Miss Crosby" as I
came down the street mornings, was
an inspiration, especially if I had
been caring for someone all night.
| was much pleased with the gift
of a pyreX dish from the Lakewood
school cut glass dish from the Pine
street intermediate and red and
white friendship quilt with each
child's name on it from the West side
primary. They were much appreci-
ated.
| am grateful for the help the doc
tors have given, the merchants for
the use of windows and material for
exhibit. and to all who have in any
way made my two years work in Ellis
worth so pleasant | want to extend
my sincere thanks.
| shall be much interested in the
growth and development of the work.
and sincerely hope NY successor may
receive the response to public health
work that has been shown by the
people of Ellsworth the past two
years.
Sincerely yours,
|. Marian Crosby.

(New York IeraIdD


The republican party was born
of an intense devotion to the nation.
1t saved America in her most criti-
cal hour through the patience and
courage of great leader, BY labors
of construction as of defense, it has
upheld the industries, the prestige,
the spirit of America
II is becoming increasingly clear
that an issue worthy of the party's
best ability confronts it. Are the sell
hsh demands of groups or sections
or classes to prevail; or is the wei
fare of the whole nation to dOmi-
nate the government?
How well has the party thus far
risen to meet this growing issue?
But indinerently in Congress, where
many of its members must share re-
sponsibility with democratic mem
bers for sectional, regional and
bloc surrender. In Calvin Coolidge,
however. it has found an embodi-
ment of its best traditions, national
leader of steadfast devotion to the
Union as against any part thereof

Their Credentials

For few minutes at Seventh and
Broadway the other afternoon traffic
was at a standstil while Beauty and
the Beast fought it out.
MY goodness" exclaimed Beauty,
lit was all your fault. I've been driv-

WEDNESDAY. JUNE is, 1924.

The nomination of Calvin Coolidge
nv the republication national conVen-
sion last week, was accomplished
with hardly a ripple OF opposition
and that little demonstration by Il
few of the Wisconsin radical bloc.
The nomination of Mr.. Coolidge, who
had been discredited by some of his
own party in Congress who had re
fused TO follow his leadership, was
one of the most remarkable demon
strations of popular demand sWaying
a political convention in the history
of this country Calvin Coolidge is
rhe unmistakable choice of the re-
publican voters at large, and the
members of Congress who attempted
20 diseredit him are the ones dis
credited. As running mate, Mr.,
Coolidge has Charles G. Dawes, who
has so recently written history big in
offering workable solution of the
economic and Preparations questions
in Germany 1t is a combination that
should sweep the country, but the
election will be complicated by many
bitter congressional and senatorial
fights in which republican insurgents
figure

What Are Ferrets Used For?

In some places they are used for hunt
ing rabbits. The ferrets either muz-
Gled or unmuzzled, 60 into the bur
rows or underground runs OF rabbit
warren and cause the rabbits to scurry
out into the open where they may be
more easily captured. However the
use of ferrets in hunting is prohibited
IN many of the states and is disc0unte-
nanced by most conservative sports
men, except where rabbits have be-
some so plentiful as to be pests Fer
rets are now used mainly for starting
rats from their underground homes or
from the bottom of grain stacks, where
rats do great damage.

The EdclWejss.

The Edelweiss is an Alpine peren-
NAL woolly plant of the Composite
family, found in Switzerland, the Tirol,
Carinthia, Alpine Austria, and Siberia.
1t bears heads of flowers surround
ed by woody bracts and sage-green
leaves. 1t is famous, not for its
beauty, but for its scarcity and the
difficulty of obtaining it in its elevated
haunts. 1t is so rare in Switzerland
that several cantons protect it by law.
1t is readily cultivated in gardens in
America and Europe. In Swiss poetry
and legend 1t plays a prominent part.
