II you find that your child Is
running away from school once
in a while, or habitually, there
are, of course, two or three things
to be investigated.
Has there been a misunder-
standing with his teacher, and
isn't it something which talk
between you and the child and
teacher can set right? Or is the
child trying to keep up in a
grade that is beyond his present
abilities, and possibly fleeing from
the humiliation of failure before
his mates, or from a sense OF in.
feriority which even he himself
does not understand but from
which he nevertheless suffers in
tensely?
So much for the common
variety of truancy, which can be
overcome, not by punishment, but
by understanding and kindness on
the part of both parents.
But / am thinking today, prob.
ably because 1t Is such a glorious.

Birth Announcements
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

OEAn Mrs. 6GEChMAN.
Should the recipient of a birth
announcement feel at all obligated
to send the baby a gift? I was
given to understand that this Is
so, but do not believe it. l would
like to send out some announce
ments, but would not want the
recipients to feel them bids for
gifts. J. M.
No, a birth announcement does
not at all mean that a present
should be sent or is expected"
1t simply makes the announcement
in the simplest and most formal
way. OF course. there are always
some people who consider that
any kind Of announcement means
that they are expected to send a
present. but accustomed" people
don't feel this way. So don't
worry about sending the an.

Verdict of "Sober Island"

Sober Island in Halifax county, Nova Scotia IS In
the uicture. Nova Scotia citizens voted on two issues
or proposals-for government control and for the
retention Of the bone dry temperance act This was
the result Of the Sober Island election: for control
pa: for the retention Of the dry law act, s.
In the general election l47OO more persons voted
for government control than for the retention Of the
prohibition law now in force in the province Of Nova
Scotia.
This election was held Oct. 81 in the wake Of the
election in the province of Ontario which voted for
a continuance Of liquor control BY the government
instead of a return Of the province to war time pro-
hibition.
Two proposals were submitted to Nova Scotians.
First retention Of the dry act now IN force. Second
whether a system of government control and sale
should be submitted. The majority for prohibition
was $500 and for government control was $4,000 the
return showing that thousands answered only one
question and the final vote will be interpreted by the
government.
Advocates Of government control had the support
of nearly all the outstanding supporters OF the pre-
sent provincial government. American tourists are
said to have dropped s35OO00.0OO in Canada this year
and in the government control provinces the profits
from liquor sales 60 to the highway building fund.
Business appears to be business in Canada.

AUSTIN, Nov. 9.-The 1880 CEN
sus, which will show tremendous
gains Of population for many cities
and counties. will cause a loss or
many thousand dollas q year to
the fee officers OF at least three
Texas countieS-Tom Green. Tay-
Tor and Potter-and possibly to still
others. a member OF the attorney
generals department has disclosed.
This will be caused by the count

mark according to the census re-
turns.
Other populous counties like Nue.

shown large gains. may likewise be
affected. though ii cannot be de-
termined until the census count is
made.
Counties having under $4,000 in
habitants. according 70 the "last cen
sus" permit their officials to take
all the fees of office collected by
them. Counties over $4,000 have a
limit. beyond which the excess fees
must be turned back.
Such counties as Potter. with
Amarillo so fast growing. have had
far over $4,000 people nearly ever
since the 1920 census. but the COM
pcnsation law IS based on the fed
eral census. so that the officers
have continued to legally draw all

How to Increase the Price
Of Cotton

Bulletin No. 1913 has been issued by the Southern
Tariff association. This bulletin records the recent
development Of a new variety Of cane in Louisiana
which has extended the cane belt until 1t now ap-
p~roximates a line drawn from Texarkana through
Birmingham. Atlanta and Columbia to the sea, with
variations according to altitude and soil conditions"
There Is an argument for the retention Of the house
tariff on sugar. Read it.
The cane sugar has invaded the heart Of the cot
ton belt or the South and If the rate Of duty given
in the house bill is sustained. cane sugar acreage will
displace large areas devoted to cotton raising to the
the benefit Of Southern agriculture. Through the
development Of the sugar industries the nations
larder can be balanced by increasing deficit crops and
decreasing surplus crops"
There is an additional argument submitted by the
writers and economists OF the Southern Tariff asso-
citation: THE South IS capable Of supplying the United
States with all the sugar and syrup We consume and
with an adequate duty the South viii do this To ac-
complish this result will require the planting Of 40O0.-
