BOYS DAY

Sunday, May 4, will be observed
as Boys Day in many churches. In
spite of the old conviction that chill
dren should be seen and not heard,
the boys are a tremendous factor.
They are too often ignored and con-
sidered a negligible element. Yet
the future of the community and all
our hopes for our own happiness
depend on developing the right at
titudes in the minds of both boys
and girls.
We must put our minds on those
boys of ours, learn the trick of in
spring their minds with enthusiasm
for good aims. 1t is a great art to
know how to handle a boy.
The more possibilities a boy has
of doing fine work, the more origi-
nal and achieving spirit he has, the
more he may trouble you with his
independent ways. The churches
should tell the parents not to be
discouraged if a boy has ideas Of
his own, but to start in early shap-
ing those ideas, and do it by inspira-
ton rather than by force.

THE ARBOR DAYS

All of the state appoint an Arbor
Day now, which occurs at different
dates in different states, in most of
them in the spring months. Interest
is growing in this form of develop
ment, and millions of trees are being
planted in the United States this
spring as the result of this move
ment.
Trees have been one Of the ma
tion's greatest resources, but our
people have squandered these re-
sources like drunken prodigals. They
have acted as if you could grow
trees as easily as you can a crop OF
potatoes.
They seem to utterly fail to real
ize that it takes from one to three
generations to grow good tree.
They burn the trees up with their
senseless forest fires, and allow
them to fall prey to pitiless insect
pests, as if they were no more value
than so many dead corn stalks.
AS the result of this wastefulness,
we import vast quantities of lumber
from abroad, which could be raised
as we'll at home. About one twen-
tieth Of the American people obtain
their livelihood from growing, har-
vesting, or manufacturing wood into
articles Of commerce. If we would
grow trees on idle and waste land,
we should eventually find work for
many people now unemployed.
People are discouraged from tree
planting, by the fact that it takes so
long to ripen a crop Of trees. They
say they do not want to go to this
effort for a benefit they may never
live to enjoy. But growing trees add
to the value Of a town, a farm, or
home. 1t does not cost much to
plant them on unutilized land. AT
ter are planted, they add large
of value to the property
within a comparatively few years. A
man will give more for farm that
has a good lot of young trees, a
home place becomes more valuable |
when trees are set out on it, and a
town is more attractive with grow
ing trees.

MUTUALLY MISINFORMED

The controversy raging over the
drinking customs of society has de-
veloped nothing particularly new.
Those persons who move in circles
in which stimulants are served are
complaining of their abuse. Even
before the adoption of the Eighteenth
amendment, there were persons who
did not drink like gentlemen. Some
times they had to be carried home.
This still happens, according to those
who know, and it happens to young
people oftener than when the gale of
stimulants was not forbidden.
Those persons who move in circles
where stimulants are not served and
never have been served are conf
dent that the effort to stop the use
of intoxicants is successful. But they
know no mode about the habits of
the other circle now than they did
before 1920.
The hostility of the stimulant-
using circles to prohibition is so
great that those moving in them
were confident that Governor Smith
would carry Pennsylvania in 1928.
They were as ignorant of the feel
ings of the rest of the people as the
rest of the people are of their feel
ings and practices.-Evening Ledger.

SPRING FEVER

What is spring fever? Have the
softening rays of the advancing sun
melted out little of that energy
that the tang of winter put into our
muscles? Or is it a kind of restless
urge to get out and do interesting
things, prompted by the balmy air.
and revival of nature? Or it is just
plain laziness?
Whatever its cause, it prompts a
lot of people to drop the little old
lob, and get out fishing, motoring,
golfng, or whatever appeals to them.
They are fortunate if they are in a
position to obey those impulses, as
they are all healthful.
One type of people do not suffer
from spring fever. They are the
cnes who have worked so intell1-
gently that their work interests
them. They are not eager to quit it.,
except for their regular rest Pc
riods. That is a better cure for
spring fever than any medicine.

PRISON PERILS

It is hard enough to keep a great
body of criminals quiet and orderly
when everything is perfectly peace
full and quiet. But if any special
peril upsets this group of highly abb
normal and dangerous people, there
is no telling what will happen. The
terrible tragedy at the Ohio peniten-
tiary at Columbus, in which over 300
\ Vlavicts were burned to death, sug-
eests one of the things that may
occur.
It is necessary to keep such men
securely locked up, yet they must
he so protected that no such horror
can occur. It will seem to many,
that there are serious objections to
the practice of gathering large num-
hers of convicts in a single place OF
confinement. If they could be scat
tered around in smaller institutions,
+he chances of reforming them would
seem improved, and certain perils
you'd be lessened.

COUNTRY PRESS TABHIZES
NATION

At the conclusion Of the greatest
era Of stock speculation in history
President Hoover checked mass hys-
terra by mobilizing industrial coop
Grafton and showing the people that
the business of the nation was on a
sound basis. What he did was IN
line with the continuous educational
work of thousands of country week
ly and small daily newspapers which
stand for national stability and in
dustrial development.
These community newspapers de-
vote much of their space to showing
how the great bulk of the payrolls
and smaller industries maintain
business and employment at a nor
NAL level all the year round. Great
corporations, enormous skyscrapers,
ocean steamship lines, railroads,
banking and utilities may be the
backbone of the country, but the
thousands of smaller payroll and in
dustry towns in the country whose
story is told week by week in the
country press is the body of our
economic structure which gives the
backbone life. Rural press circula-
tion reaches a majority of working,
thinking Americans in their homes
and is the great national stabilizer.
The business stability of the nation
depends, as President Hoover has
said, on the pulse of the millions
back in the country, suburban and
communities and does not
exist by the fiat or the decree Of the
metropolitan brains and hearts and
purse strings.

THE PIONEER WOMAN

A just tribute to one of the noblest
types in history was paid few days
ago at Ponca City, Oklahoma, when
fine statue in honor of the pioneer
Woman" was unveiled. In remarks
over the radio, President Hoover
spoke of the pioneer woman's great
part in forming the western country,
and how amid all the toilsome la
bors of the frontier, such women
were determined that their children
shuold have open doors of oppor-
tunity.
Much is said about the pioneer
men, how they fought the Indians,
cut down the forests, built the roads
and polughed up the fields, but the
task of the pioneer woman was more
obscure and is too much forgotten.
The women must have sacrificed
more than the men when they left
comfortable home conditions in the
east to strike off into the unknown
prairie and the untenanted plains.
The woman is the homekeeper, and
feels the attachment to the home
nest more keenly. She realizes the
need for quiet and settled conditions
to perform her functions. The bold
adventure into far and rough coun-
try must often have seemed too Wis
ionary to them.
Yet out of loyalty to their hus-
bands they assumed these often des-
perate chances. They worked even
longer hours than the men. When
the men returned exhausted from
their labors on the primitive farm,
the women were still toiling, and
they kept at their drudgery until
sleep closed their eyes.
They bent their aching backs over
the washtub, they carried water long
distances from the springhole, they
scrubbed and cooked and knitted and
sewed and their labors never ended.
And amid it all, they kept their
thoughts on their children, toiling
and struggling for better chances for
them. Well are they worthy of this
memorial now erected in their
honor.
