President Coolidge told the inter
national convention of the Y NJ. G.
A. at Washington that parents are
not doing their duty He said that a
return to the old-fashioned method
Of rearing children would bring inn

Any fair observer will admit the
truth Of this statement, yet the
great majority Of us shy at anything
old fashioned We are constantly
seeking something new and we often
accept it not because Of any merit,
but simply because it is new.
This constant seeking for some
thing new is in part responsible for
the development Of the modern part

the demands Of social life.
No father can attend to his bust
ness, his civic clubs, his lodges and
his social engagements and be a
real pal of his son. No mother can
be the chum of her daughter and
meet all of her obligations socially.
II is net strange that the chief
executive of the leading nation Of the

thoughts Youthful criminals are

Consider the home man, who ought
to come first when the question of
buying merchandise arises.
He lives in this community. He
knows you and you know him. He
belongs to the same church, the
same fraternal organization, the
same civic club as you. He is part
of the community.
He buys from other dealers at
home for the needs of himself and
his family. The money he thus
spends remains here xp
lie pays taxes, supports she
churches, gives to funds for i'm
provement of the community, helps
finance agricultural shows, gives TO
the needy and is continually paying
out money for some local cause.
His employees live here and the
money he pays them is kept in cir
culation here.
The merchandise is as he repre-
sents it else he could not remain in
business long. He holds trade only
by selling quality merchandise at
the right price. Selling an inferior
grade Of goods would prove disas-
trous in a few years He can not
afford to overeharge because his
customers would soon learn by com
parison that he was defrauding
them.
In every way he is an asset to the
community. a convenience and an
actual benefit to everyone, and he
should be supported. Without him.
the community would soon be in
sore straits.
Let's give the home man first
consideration Only by this method
can strong and healthful commun-
ity be built up Every dollar spent
away from home is tearing down
home; every dollar spent here Is
building up home.

Personality.


When the poet said that every in
stitution is but the lengthening sha-
dow Of a man, he uttered a truth
that is one of the essential facts Of
life.
Personality is the all important
factor in every great enterprise,
whether it be business, education or
community progress.
During the era Of great material
istic development, there has been
great emphasis on the need for finer
equipment in community enterpris-
es. But any policy that stresses the
material side to the neglect of the
human factor is not a substantial
one.
II would be far better to have a
million dollar school teacher in a
thousand dollar school than thou
sand dollar teacher in million dol
lar school. The first essential for
human betterment is to have inspir-
ing personalities in positions Of lead
ership.
1t is a splendid thing to provide
wonderful school buildings, library
buildings, churches and similar
structures, because they have adj
vertising value. People will 60 into
fine public building and derive
good from its use, who would not use
one that looks old and behind the
times. New school buildings give
school work an impression of i'm
portance and dignity, and they
inspire pupils to better work.
But good work is often done with
poor facilities The little red school
house on the whole got good results
in training the older people Its
equipment would be called obsolete
now, its textbooks and courses of
study were not adapted to the prac-
teal age in which we now live. But
it usually had brainy and inspir-
ing personality as a teacher. Such
a person got results, even if the
tools used were poor.
The most important thing in So
cial progress is to have bright and
able men and women working in
such positions as teachers, minis
tiers and legislators, as their thought
is shaping the purposes and ideals
of the coming generation.

WITH A considerable lack Of
enthusiasm the Senate subcommittee
on elections is preparing to render
a decision on the Brookhart- Steck
election contest There is much to
be said for the claims advanced by
both sides and many leading Senators

justified in seating either of the
candidates Although Republicans
would like 20 see Brookhart returned

that he viii be declared victor IL
Brookhart loses it is probably that

Cummins in 1895 Such fight
would be a toss-up for either
Cummns or Brookhart Thus if
Steck, a Democrat, is seated hy the
Republicans, they are confronted
with the possibility that Brookhart,
