BETTER. WHIP THAN NAG
SAYS u. FARM SPEAKER

Replying to the question, "Shall the
child be whipped?" Mrs. Eva Morse
told homemakers gathered at Uni
versity Farm for their annual short
course: 81 couldn't do it, but some
can. But if l had to choose between
nagging and whipping would whip. y
Mrs. Morse is director of adult
home making education in the city of
Omaha, a work that deals with family
relationships, child guidance, nutri-
ton, sewing and home nursing.
"No child should be whipped after
he is old enough to remember blow, "
Mrs. Morse added in the course of an
address on discipline" "The old
idea was that you couldn't discipline
people in a pleasant way; even now
we think of discipline as coercing
people. Disciplining is training. The
child of should be obedient. When
we keep regular hours for him we
are disciplining him and teaching him
to obey.
Too often we are inclined to disci-
pline children when we have been in
convenienced. Disciplining affords us
an emotional outlet and that's why
we do it. The child often senses the
situation and feels natural resent
ment.
Parents should agree on policies of
training and disciplining before emer-
gencies develop. The nearer the agree
ment beforehand on policies, the bet
ter for the child and the home. The
child should not be permitted to feel
that he is shuttlecock between par
ents and never know what is to be
done with him. Even if / knew l was
right would give in; it would be
better for the child"
Mrs. Morse said experience shows
that many young people get into
trouble because they haven't anything
to do that interests them. She told of
a group of boys who were becoming
hayward and hard to manage. Some
one proposed that they construct a
Panama canal Immediately the boys
were enthusiastic and for weeks were
devoted to the enterprise and became
steady and trustworthy.

Isagai, one of the girls l had in a
class in Aoyama. New Years time
they surely do feed you the funniest
food. Can't say as l was very crazy
about it, "Mochi" (pounded rice
cake), wrapped in sea weed, and
dipped in shou and then toasted. Alb
solutely as digestible as lump of
lead All kinds of other stuff, which
is just for New Years. But her
family are such lovely hospitable
people that its pleasure to go there.
Tuesday l worked all day, even
out of meetings. I've had to write up
our minutes. Next morning 1 started
in this direction. Rode all day and
got to kyoto in the eve, where we
stopped off to see the halls and pal
aces used in connection with the
Coronation. We stayed with some
people called Peddley. They were
lovely and it was much better to sleep
in a nice bed instead of a sleeper.
Yesterday morning we went
around with the crowds. 1t was really
very interesting. You very likely
saw the pictures of it, too. Then we
shopped. I bought a lamp and a
lamp shade, some roses and two
nice handkies. In the afternoon
Alice Hagen and went sight seeing
around the temples and Harriet Har-
vey and Helen Albrecht went on the
Kobe to get Helen's baggage (she
just came back from America after
two years furlough). 1 met her first
at Peoria, before l came out.
'The trains are terrible, so hot. l
heven't had any medicine to take for
this cold so it may have gotten quite
a start. l won't eat any lunch and
see if l can get some hot water at one
of the places along the line.

Alaska BeckOns Farmers.
Seattle Times.)

The newest home land wants settlers. Alaska's agricultural resources await development The most fertile parts of the Territory lie within the of the Government Railroad. In informative illustrated pamphlet the management of the system has undertaken to exploit the opportunities offered farmers in the North. Nowhere else is there such large, potentially productive area open to free occupation under the homestead law.
 Advantages are numerous. Hay, grain, vegetables, and vine and bush fruits can be grown successfully Timber is sufficient for building purposes and for fuel, and this last need also be cheapy SUD- piled from nearby coal mines Transportation facilities are provided at reasonable rates by the Federal railroad. Real property and it's improve ments, as well as livestock and implements outside of incorporated cities, not taxed
 An objection that has always been raised to farming in Alaska on anything like an extensive scale is that products cannot be shipped to distant coast towns in the Territory without meeting the competition of similar commodities from the States and that therefore the marketing of all yields is limited to neghborng communities. Whatever the merit of the criticism the fact is that production at present is inadequate for local requirements so the question of distant sales is of no importance now.
 Persons experienced in agriculture and financially able to bring new land to a crop can make profit able enterprise of farming in Alaska

IS THE COUNTRY MOVING TOWARD
 WAR?

Miss Ida M. Tarbel probably the leading woman of letters in America, author of the History of Standard Oil Life of Lincoln writer on historical and economic question, etc. etc. entitled an article she wrote in Liberty, "Is Prohibition Forcing Civil War?" She answers her question in the affirmative, closing it with the declaration
 There must be moderation, frankness,
 fewer accusations, and understanding.
 Unless we have them nothing is more cer
 tain than that the present guerrilla warfare
 will go on, carrying with it an increasing
 danger of organized war;
 In one of the last Golfers is article by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, head of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Nor als which would to be reply to Miss Tarbells well considered discussion It does not dispute her conclusions, but seems to welcome the suggestion of war. He demands that President Hoover use the armed military force of the Nation to enforce Prohibition. He contends that neither President Harding President Coolidge seriously attempted to enforce it. He says the drys con- tributed to President Hoovers election on the as- sumption that he would fulfill his oath to enforce the flaws, and they expect him to do so even if it should prove necessary to throw the army and navy into the fight.
 Dr. Wilson goes even further: he declares that those States which have failed to enact Prohibition enforcement statutes or that have repealed such statutes after passing them, "out of the Union" and that the army and navy ought to be used to coerce them into getting behind Prohibition He says it is the plain duty of President Hoover to military forces at his command to force New York Maryland, Montana, Nevada and Wisconsin back into the Union
 In short Dr. Wilson accepts the challenge and in effect says let there be He has virtually issued call to arms. He wants a military gov ernment such had during and for while after the Civil War.

Slavery Within the Empire.
Manchester Guardian0


 In 1922 the British Government pledged itself to put end to the system of girl slavery in Hongkong known as Mui Tsai. The pledge has been carried out although prohibitive order was issued by the Hongkong Government In Janu- ary of this year evidence produced showing that far from this iniquitous system having been abolished, it had grown. Whereas in 1922 the num- Der of girl slaves was between 5000 and 5000 it had now risen to 10000 Mui Tsai is system by which little girls sold by their parents either into domestic service into prostitution The price obtained for these unfortunate creatures depends upon their age and the purpose for which they sold. That such a practice has been allowed to continue for many years in British colony the first protests against it made so long ago as 1880-is a serious blot honor That it should continue after it had been forbidden by the Government requires serious explanation When questioned in the House of Commons in February had been difficult to carry out the order because the girls when freed, had nowhere to go. He stated that he had asked for report the work ing of the order from the Governor of Hongkohg Apparently action is being taken ion it is nounced that the Hongkong Government has noti- fled the girl slaves that they are free to leave their masters, and a warming has been issued to the masters not to prevent the girls from leaving. Whether the order will succeed not remains be freed effectually unless some organization is provided to look after them until they proper employment or return to their parents.

NEW DATA ON EUGENE FIELD.

Probably the last book read by Eugene Field, the childrens poet, volume of Horace in the original Latin which published in 1855 and presented to Field by Harold G. Underwood Sepa tember 3, 1895.
 This is the belief expressed by the poets son, Eugene Field II, in inscription entered in the back of the book. This Underwoods Copy of Horace" the inscription reads, "prsented to my father, Eugene Field, was greatly prized by him. This book found his bed the morning of his death, and the family have always assumed that this is the last book he ever read.' The in- scription is signed by Fields
 The book is part of elaborate Eugene Field collection recently presented to Washington Uni versity, St. Louis, by William K. Bixby, patron of the arts and President of the Board of Directors of that university. The collection contains many letters which written by the poet autographed books, photographs and diverse other articles. It uncovers a mine of Field information.
 Another valuable book in the collection is a facsimile of My Book" which especially pre- pared by Field for William E. Buskett. It was his Roswell Field
 The characteristic humanness of Eugene Field is indicated in letter which he wrote to his wife in St. Louis, Mo, on Nov. 12, 1886 shortly after he had returned to St. Louis to continue his news paper work.
 In the letter he tells of his financial difficulties and apologies to Mrs Field for not having sent her any money to finance the to St. Louis. However, he places the blame politics writing that St. Louis in the midst of busy election season and he had not been able to approach his editor about advance in salary. The poet in- structs Mrs. Field what to sell and what to ship, and anticipates that, through his newspaper .he St. Louis Times Journal-he may be able to secure
 reduction in freight charges possibly free portaton for their furniture.
 Although Mrs. Fields not to arrive in St. Louis for several weeks, her husband wrote that he had found which appealed to him so that he "could hardly resist engaging them at once" The two at 1410 Olive Street on the second floor with a bath on the same floor" unfurnished, but with fires, gas and room and board" for Mir and Mrs Field and one servant for s65 a month Field expressed the optimistic belief that the might be had for $50 if there were no servant.
