JUVENILE COURT
TERM HELD HERE
LARGE NUMBER OF CASES HEARD
AND DISPOSED OF BY JUDGE
/ MARTIN HUGHES-COURT AT
TACHES HERE WITH JUDGE
HUGHES.

A term of Juvenile Court was held
in this city Monday and many cases
were brought up for hearing and dis
position. Accompanying Judge Hughes
were G. E. Everett and D. S. Pingree
of Virginia representing the st. Lous
County Probation department and JOS
Klobuchar, clerk of the Juvenile Court
in the Virginia court house.
The large number of acts of vanda1-
ism and petty pilferings committed by
juveniles during the past few months
presented the larger part of the diff
culties of the court. Many were dis
posed of by paroling the culprits to
the Jurisdiction of the police officers
and parents.
While many are under the i'm
preston that a suspended sentence on
parole means immunity, it should be
borne in mind that slight miss-step
will again enforce the sentence and
the same automatically becomes oper-
alive and upon arrest the sentence
will follow without the necessity OF
another trial.
The warning issued by the court to
the youthful offenders should be
needed otherwise there will be some
thing doing besides "a pleasure trip
to Virginia with good lunch, ETC." as
some of the youths aver their arrest
gave them.

MANY INQUIRIES
FOR STATE LAND
MORE THAN 1000 LETTERS HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED BY TEN THOUS-
AND LAKES ASSOCIATION ASK
ING FOR FARM LAND.

Despite the nationwide depression
inquiries for farm lands have held up
we'll according to H. G. Hotaling, Sec
rotary of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association.
This year Ala inquiries have been
received through the mails at the Office
of the Ten Thousand Lakes Greater
Minnesota Association for information
concerning Minnesota farms. Last
year at this time 4,182 inquiries had
been received which represented SO
more than 1881 or loss for this year
of less than one percent.
The farm inquiries have been de-
veloped by the Association through an
advertising campaign in several farm
publications of nationwide circulation
as well as practically all Of the leading
farm journals of the Mississippi VAL
ley. Newspapers have also been used
extensively in carrying the message OF
MinneSota'S advantages as an agricul-
tural state.
Mr.. Hotaling believes that there is
an increasing interest in farm lands
and that when financial and agricul-
tural conditions become better i'm
migration to Minnesota will be on the
increase. Speaking in this connection
he said: In my opinion there never
has been time when Minnesota lands
could be bought as advantageouSly as
they are now. Prices are at rock bot
tom and when conditions improve they
will go up. There are lot of city
people who would move out on farms
right now if they could make a down.
payment. Some Of them moved to the
CITY from the farms a few wears ago
When they can get the money together
they will go back to the farm
Inquiries concerning vacations have
also held up fairly well and up to
August 1 more than $4,000 letters had
been received at headquarters Offices
asking for information concerning re-
sorts and places to spend vacations In
Minnesota.

It's all over The Young Communist
Party from Virginia came, spoke their
piece and departed. We were wrong
last week when we said bunch of
oVereducated kids would tell what they
knew. They did not get chance.
They brought with them two speakers
who were much wiser than they and
who told us what the trouble was.
No remedy was suggested and this is
the main issue which the people are
waiting to hear. We did not hear the
Saturday nights talk but we did hear
that the history of the editor was
broadcast by one of the party from
the rostrum at First Avenue and Har-
vey Street. This fellow made very
fiery talk but before he finished rain
came and quenched the threatened
conflagration. Some of our good
friends were tickled pink over what
he told them but as near as we can
ascertain he said nothing. But he rid
himself of lot of wind in doing it.

On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Representative r. w. Hitchcock OF
Hibbing and Senator GuStaf Wlddeu
of Mankato have been summary dis
missed from the state Office building
commission. The men were dismissed,
not because they were not able to
satisfactorily fill the places but be-
cause the law says a legislator shall
not hold any other state position.
Senator Summer T. Mcknight, also a
member of the commission had pre-
viouSly resigned. The three vacancies
Berg, an architect from Eveleth, well
known in this city by reason of his
having been the architect for the City
Hall building; Walfrid Engdahl OF
Minneapolis, secretary and treasurer OF
the Twin City Carpenters Union ana
Oscar Subby, Albert Lea investment
man.
Far be it from us to question the
wisdom of the appointment of these
men on the building commission as
we understand all have been weighed
on the political scales OF the powers
that be and not found wanting. 1t is
also conceded by the many friends OF
the appointeeS throughout the state
tina all are satisfactory and will NIKE up
a good commission with the two other
members left. We will however haz-
ard the remark that in the removal
OF the three from the commission, the
state has lost three very valuable men
from this body. Representative Hitch
cock, in particular, whom we know
to be most valuable member of the
house and whose work on the comis-
sion has been open and above board.
This is not saying that that the new
appointeeS will be different. Hitch
cock was Stickler for the back yard
site for the Office building and this did
not set very well on the digestion of
st. PauliteS who consider the state
capitol and accompanying state build
ingS their individual right. Now that
the Office building will be built on the
site favorable to st. Paul, the citizens
of that enterpriSing metropolis will
at once begin a movement for the
Identification OF the WabaSha ap-
proach reaching from the Mississippi
to the Capitol at the expense of the
state. We glory in their spunk and if
they can manage it, will be entitled to
all they can get.

Republican politics in Minnesota re-

While Ed has been a storm center in

any other man in the state. He on

but there are no instances where he
did not fight fair.

Everyday Psychology
The Personal Self.
By DR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

although any personality is a cluster
OF selves. the most important by far is
the personal self-that private self-ap-
praisement that no one else knows any,
thing about The personal self for YOU
Is the most important thing in the
world. That's why you keep it 80 well
concealed.
When you were child, you supposed
thlS personal self was your pody' and
mounting else. You identified the SELF
Win the flesh. AS you grew older YOU
MADE few changes in your estimate
OF your personal dimensions. You in
cIuded the clothing you wore, the pets
you owned and the toys with which YOU
played And as you grew ever older
you added, one after another, the senti-
menus and values you attached to
everything. Even the memories of All
these, things became in time part Of
that personal self which you alone
knew most about.
The biggest factor in your personal
self grows out of your social Surround
ings. You identify your personal self
with what you think other people take
you to be.
So the history of any personal self
is a gradual growth from the body
alone to the society in which one finally
settles down. In about IS years the
egoist, the child. Is made over into a
social citizen. Otherwise he remains a

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Learn to Play Alone.

Every one adrnires the independent
person, the person who can think and
act for himself. Independence is the
full flower Of a characteristic which be-
gins to sprout in infancy. AL the way
through their lives children are en-
deavoring to be independent, and all
the way through their lives their par
entS are, In many cases, endeaVorlng 70
prevent them from doing so.
How do parents prevent this fine IN
dependence which later they SO mucn
admire2 I can't cover all the points,
so I'll concentrate on just one. Parents
constantly entertain the baby. The mo-
ment the child opens his eyes and lets
out one tiny peep the mother. the nurse,
the father, the grandmother or some
one is right at hand to pick him up, to
keep him from knowing one moment OF
waking solitude.
When the baby is old enough to grasp
and hold toys his parents are not con-
tent to give him a toy, or various toys
of all kinds and shapes, which ne can
hold in his hand and examine. Iney
help him to examine them. They toss
the ball about, making the baby's eyes
shine with excitement. They snake the
rattle vigorously. They punch the doIls
which squeak, and in every way they
take an intimate part in the baby's en-
joyment of these toys which are de-
signed for his personal satisfaction.
The net result Is that when baby Is
old enough to play by himself-there
is always a time when the mother be-
gins to think he should've doesn't
know how. He needs some adult, some
other person to enter into his games
with him. He is entirely dependent
upon them. If the mother goes out
of the room for even moment he
drops whatever he has in his hand and
howls dismally until she returns. she
sends him out on the porch or to the
sand pile to play. Does he play?
Mercy. no! The neighborS telephone to
tell her what she knows only too wen,
do YOU know that Junior is crying his
eyes out?" 1t was just forlorn hope
that she would be able to leave him
there until he discovered no one was
coming out and he'd have to play alone.
All such distressing situations should
be foreSeen and prevented. 1t is DIM
cult to persuade child who has Tor
two years been the shadow OF his moth
er that he can have just as much fun
playing alone.
Every time the mother takes the
babys toys from him and shows him
what he can do with them, every time
she feels like a conscientious martyr
and sits down on the floor to help
Junior build a block house. let her stop
and think What is she doing for the
baby? Making him dependent on her
presence. What is she doing for Ju-
Nor? She is thinking for him. using
her imagination instead Of letting him
use his. She is depriving the child OF
that glorious chance to discover the
amusement value of toys for himself.
After he has learned how to enjoy the
rich assortment of toys and play ap-
paratus by himself, he is then ready to
learn how to enjoy them with others.
But the first step is independent play.
