plants are pretty good sized, it is
a good idea to wrap strips of bur-

place it in a sling of burlap or cam

shaken from the roots in moving.
When set it in new location, the
burlap wrappings may be removed,
soil tramped in firmly around it
and water applied. Frequent wa

The actual examples of super
fluous discipline are, perhaps, not
SO extreme, at least they are not
SO amusing, as the one my father
used to tell of a neighbor farmer
who, when upon being told that
his son had received a thrashing
from the school master that day,
replied, "That SO, is it? Well,
there'll be a harder one waitin'
for him when he gets home" But
it really is very easy to over-dis-
cipline. 1t comes chiefly from a
lack of understanding, but it is
often urged on by a desire to sat-
isfy ones own feelings.

Eat Your Breakfast, Johnny.

A good square meal at breakfast
for the school child is one of the
best aids that mother can give in
helping her son or daughter along
the road to learning. Do not let the
child form the "no breakfast" ha-
bit, and get him up in time to eat
leisurely. There should be at least
three meals a days for the school
child, and if one is omitted he be-
comes over-tired and hungry be-
fore the next meal and consequent
ly cannot do his best work.

Poor little Joan! One would
think her heart-breaking sobs spoke
loudly enough for punishment.
Perhaps Mother has forgotten the
day that her own "Raggedy Ann"
whom she had left out-of-doors,
was dismembered by Fido, for she
is adding discipline to Joan's grief.
Joan is not allowed to have any
playthings, and must sit sobbing
in choir until Mother feels that
she is sufficiently punished.

THERE is, HOWEVER,

Billy is the neighborhood bully.
He DULLES boys and girls alike,
provided they are younger and
weaker than he.f
This time, however, he calculat-
ed wrongly, and Jackie, despite his
lack of years, has proved perfectly
able to defend himself. He has re-
taliated by giving Billy badly
gashed lip, which the latter car
ries, much swollen and shamefully
prominent, the reminder of hui
initiating day.
It would appear that no further
discipline is necessary for Billy.
His mother thinks differently, how
ever. Having witnessed the whole
affair she gives him a round of lee
turing, sends him to his room for
an hour and even thinks it neces-
sary to set his case before Daddy
when the latter arrives at night.
Let it be said for Daddy that he
confines himself merely to Speak
ing" to the boy, realizing that Bill
ly, probably, has had discipline
enough for one day.

don't pick up your pretty Miss
Amandy' when you are through
playing with her, someone will
step on her some day! How would
you like that?"
Nobody would step on my dear
Miss Amandy', Mother!" cried
Joan, snatching dolly to her heart.

Mother.
Of course, Joan does let dolly

steps upon her, to her own horror

 TRACED TO STANTON
Ba!listics Experts Say Weapon Owner by
 Gangster

Chicago, Sept. B RNA gun used in the staying of Jack Zuta, gang ster, was traced by ballistics experts today by Danny Stanton, one of Chi cago's 26 public enemies"
 Zuta, known as one of gangland's master minds. was shot down as he fed niCkels to slot machine in a resort near Dclatield, Wis. August l :.
 The discovery of the ballistics ex- Delts, working directly under Act ing Police Commissioner Alc3ck, would, if accepted, cause police to abandon their original theory that zuta was killed by members of the Moran-Aiello gang of which he was leader. "Dapper" Danny Stanton is generally aligned with the Al Capone faction.
 The guns used by the four men who slew Zuta were a machine gun, an automatic .45, and two .SS cali brc revolvers.
 Sixteen slugs were taken from Zuta's body, and put under the bal hStics experts microscopes. Yes torday the experts reported that one of the slugs had been fired from a sSS calibre pistol that had belonged to "Dapper" Danny
 Stanton, at one time gang leader in his own right, is at liberty under bond pending the hearing of vagrancy charges. He was the first public enemy" to be picked up in the police drive against the "enemies."

DIPLOMATS SETTLE
 SEIZURE OF VESSEL
Canadian Governments Protest on Principle,
 Since Craft Was Freed

Washington, Sept. 23 P>-An ex- change of diplomatic notes between the Washington and Ottawa govern- mcnts has brought to close the most recent in4 4dent of seizure oi a Canadian vessel off American shores by coast guard vessel.
 The Canadian government protest ed recently against the seizure on June 5, of the Canadian motorship Fire Light, within the Emile limit embraced by the liquor smuggling treaty between the United States and Canada but outside the territorial waters limit of three miles.
 The vessel was seized by the coast guard as a menace to navigation, it being contended the Fire Light was running without lights. The conten- tion of the ,OttaWa government was that navigation laws are domestic to the United States and cannot be en- forced under the terms of a treaty providing for search and seizure for liquor smuggling.
 The protest was against the prin- ciple of the action and not against the action itself. since the vessel was subsequently, released.
