NO COOPERATION FOR
WALLACE ON THIS FARM

Annandale. While the last of six
millions of young pigs were taken TO
market to cut down the surplus, a
hog on the John Taatjes farm near
Annandale increased the farmyard
population by II squealing pigs last
week. On the same day a cow on the
place had healthy twin calves, and to
top the birthday party, Fanny, the
greyhound watch dog of the premises,
presented the Taatjes folks with IL
pups. Secretary Wallace will have a
job on his hands to cut down the sur
plus if production at this rate be-
comes general.

LEAVES HORSE ON DOORSTEP

Clara City.-Somewhere near Clara
City lives a man who loved his horse.
Although there is a fair market for
horses near there, and the animal
was in good condition, he left it tied
to post on the Hillon Warnings
place north of town last week. A
note tied to the horse stated that the
owner might be back to claim it.
Babies left on doorsteps for lack of
means to support them are fairly
common, but here's probably the first
time horse has been left.

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.
What of TT

What of It!
n E UGH Of our complaining about
nu the children is of no account.
VI Many OF our sharp criticisms
4 i are unnecessary We have the
picture of our ideal of o child
In mind and when the actual child dif-
fers from the dream we are troubled, or
annoyed, and attempt to make the child
conform to our notion. Most Of the
friction In families Is caused by this
mistaken attitude.
A plump child Is born in a family
whose thinness is a marked character
istic. His uneasy parents and relatives
speak about 1t in his presence. Where
did such fat little boy. or girl. come
from? What makes you such a fatty?"
Under the sprightly tone th.re is a note
OF annoyance. Our family is slim, you
know The child feels the concealed
criticism and reacts to 1t according to
his nature. He is hurt and he is be-
Wlldered. Why Is 1t bad to be fat? What
him?
II child Is born with a pup nose
and the family likes straight ones bet
ter, II he has freekles and mother prides
nersen on her clear skin, If he has biz
hands and feet and father has dainty
ones. II he Is reticent and the family
loquacious, what of it? What can he
90 about it7 Or you, for that matter?
The child was born with character
istic physical features, with certain
strong traits and tendencies. Are you
going to make his life miserable because
you fancled q different set for him? Or
are you going to accept him good
numoredly and do your best to help
MN grow to his own advantage? That
would assuredly be the better way for
mas 10 De taken in the end. Why not
at the beginning?
Next time you feel tempted to suffer
because your child has some ANNOYING
Characteristic, one that is not truly
fundamental to his mental and physical
health, Just ask yourself, Whit of tt?"
Keep asking until the answer comes to
you. Just nothing at ALL" This child
is gong TO make his way In the world
In spite OF his red hair, or his awkward
ness or his weight. What counts is his
mind. II that Is strong, it is beautiful

save children from mental distress

I don't believe children grow their

they are made for them by mistaken

WINTER
japanese Honeysuckle.
BY d. C. PEATTK.

~OMMON bounties are seldom
much appreciated, and 1t Is
difficult to pesuade any gar
~ den-loying soul Of this region
that the Japanese honeysuckle
could be bounty in any form. 1t
creeps stealthily over the hedge; it has
the annual beds by the throat If you
neglect them a week; it smothers the
roses, and climbs all over other and
nobler vines, like wisteria, till they are
sickled o'er with a pale cast of evan
escent flowers and a too-sweet odor.
In fact, a common name for it is the
yellow peril"
In its defense, I could say that it
turns dunp-heaps, and railroad en-
bankments, and vacant lots. and such
unsightly spots of mans creation, into
fragrant green bowers, the delight OF
moths and bees.
In Winter, the Japanese honeysuc-
kle continues to balance the score OF
its faults by unlooked-for virtues. Its
little. blue-black berries, borne in such
quantities, are the delight of the Winter
birds. And further, since the honey
suckle keeps close to houses and gar
dens, it brings the hungry little fora

some weeds amuse me more than Ger
tain conventional, stiff, and ungratefui
garden flowers, and would welcome
the honeysuckle II for no better reason
than that it brings the titmice ana
bluejays and chicadees SO close to my
study window.
Another weed that now attracts the
birds Is pokeweed, or, as some country
people call it, garget. No Virginia or
Maryland fence row is genuine with
out it, at least from Summer on through
Autumn and until late in Winter. By
Spring 1t dies down, making room for
the new shoots that are edible as greens
or spinach" but in early Winter the
long spikes, heavily laden with their
tat purple-black fruit, stand 4, S and
feet high among the sassafras and
poison-ivy that mark the boundaries
of old fields, the courses Of old stone
walls, the margins Of country lanes.
The scarlet leaves are as beautiful as
sumac, and they last long after frost,
until snowfall, indeed, and even then
feed the straving hosts Of the feathered
brothers.
Pokeweed is one OF the few American
plants that have spread widely and
spontaneously in Europe. For the
most part, we have TO endure all the
European weeds and our own too, while
in Europe they are very little troubled
by any of ours. Pokeweed Isl an ex-
ception; and though they know nothing
of its edible greens or its poisonous
roots, they sometimes sell it in ths
markets for its Autumn foliagel Ir

Albany a young State Senator named
Franklin Roosevelt. The majority
leader of the New York Senate at the
time was the stocky, politically wise
Bob Wagner.
Wagner offered counsel to young
Roosevelt. and for three terms the
freshman Senator from Dutchess worked
with or without the party organization.
Then came the election OF woodrow
Wilson and Roosevelt was offered the
Job of Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
He left Albany with the good wishes OF
his teacher.
The years passed and the paths Of
Roosevelt and Wagner were in different
directions.
Wagner continued his political career
In New York State. He sat as mem
Der of the Senate Court of Impeachment
which removed william Sulzer as Gov
ernor of New York. Roosevelt remained
In Washington for 10 years.
In 1919, after serving for while as
Lieutenant Governor, Wagner deserted
the legislative branch of government for
O fling In the judiciary. For almost
decade he was identified with the State
Supreme Court and for a few months
was a member of the Appellate Division.
In 1926 he was elected to the United
States Senate.
Meanwhile Roosevelt had disappeared
from the political scene.
Then came 1928, when the Demo-
cratic party met to pick q successor to
Gov. Alfred E. Smith, nominee for
President.
The names of Wagner and Roosevelt
were heard again as the most likely
gubernatorial candidates. Roosevelt was
nominated for Governor, however, and
Wagner returned to the Senate.
Now political fortune brings Roose-
velt to Washing gton-as President.

to have double wall, with no connect

principle as the vacuum bottle which

is too well versed in the Senate's ways
of doing things to attempt anything
with that boSy that even remotely re-
sembles a departure from the traof-
tional an6 ordered way. Fifteen terms
in Congress, even if spent on the other
side of the Capitol, have taught MIN
much about that subject.
Some observers profess to see in the
fact that when Gov. Roosevelt came 10
the Capital some weeks ego to, talk
over the war debt situation with Presl-
dent Hoover, and Garner boarded the
train at Baltimore and was later sum
moned to the Governors hotel for q
conference around midnight. that the
Vice President-elect was destined for
an entirely new role in the coming ad-
ministration.
But 1t must be remembered that Gar
ncr is still Speaker of the House. Who
ever held that job during RocseVe!t's
visit would most certainly have been
called in for consultation on problem
which, in the last analysis, must be
handled by Congress.
II may be that Garner will find his
outlet In acting as sort of contact
man between the White House and Con-
gress. President Hoover found it ad-
viSable to have such man in Walter
Newton, former member of the House
from Minnesota. Newton is one OF the
Hoover secretariat, with the title of
legislative secretary.
