COUNTY JAIL EMPTY

Benton county has perfectly
good Jail at Prosser. It's all "eom-
fy'' with all modern equipment,
we understand, but according to a
news dispatch from the county
seat, the building is not much in
demand this winter. Crime of all
sorts, especially the petty variety,
has been much less prevalent than
usual, according to members of
the sheriff's force. The Jail has
stood empty for nearly two months
and the officers have been called
to investigate but few cases.

ChiLd's Obedience Must Be Earned

most precious thing you possess
which is his confidence. II he
obeys you after that-well, "you
are good"
Here are several other ways in
which children are led into dis
obedience through error on the
part of father or mother:
Every time your child starts
anything, make him stop 1t. Re-
fuse all of the requests, whether
they are reasonable or not. Pay
no attention to what he does un-
til it interferes with your own
personal comfort.
Expect disobedience from your
child. Let him know that you
expect 1t and you will get just
that.
Quarrel with him over trivial
matters.
If YOU can't earn his disobedi.
ence any other way, fail to make
him understand what you want
him to do. Be vague and indefi-
mite and wishy-washy in giving
commands or instructions. You
will be surprised at the result.
Disobedience is usually the
parents fault: and both parent
and child get the consequences.

woman recently. "She says that

What do you suppose causes a

There are any number Of
causes for that condition Of af-

competence OF parents to train a
child properly.
Uttering useless or unreason-
able commands is one good way
to induce disobedience.
"Now you learn every word OF
every one of your lessons before
you leave that chair!' shouts an
angry mother to a provoking
youngster.
She knows, and the child
knows, that he could not fulfill
that command If he woodland
he would not If he could.
