CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The
first blOOdShed of farmers
present revolt against bur
densome conditions intensified
today a rebellion that gradu-
ally spread from the Atlantic
seabOard to the Rocky noun

Through the corn belt the situa-
ton was made more apprehensive
by milk price war. Three states
were affected by the controversy as
dairymen protested against low
prices.
A South Dakota farmer and his
two sons were wounded by gunf1re
when they attempted to run
gantlet of other farmers blocking
roads to markets.
r. D. Markell 81, wealthy Union
county IS. d. farmer, was injured
seriously by rifle and shotgun Slugs.
His sons, Harry. 80, and Keats, "a,
were less seriously hurt.
Other Casualties Reported
Markell and his sons were taking
1000 gallons of milk to Sioux City.
Ia. About two miles west of Sioux
City, in South Dakota, nearly seventy
farmers placed logs across the road,
stopped the Markell truck and or
dered them to turn back. They
refused. During the argument that
followed the shots were fired.
A third son, Frank, %, was I'M
injured.

Wisconsin was the other state
entangled in the milk price dispute.
1t also was reported that eastern
Iowa farmers would be asked to
join the strike.
Tax Sales Prevented
Meanwhile, defiance of officials
attempting foreclosure sales on
farms continued.
Farmers in states as far west as
Colorado, which heretofore has not
been involyed in the revolt, massed
at forced sales 20 bid in property

is one Of disobedience and
should be treated as such.
Then, too, there have been
youngsters (think of your own
childhood for a minute) who
have had lapses of honesty
and grown up into quite law
abiding and respectable adults.
A Short Cut
The fact that a child has
stolen doesn't necessarily mean
he will steal when he is grown.
But it does mean that the
parents, once they are awak-
ened to the situation, should
take the matter in hand.
Stealing is particularly
dangerous habit in that it
quite often works out most
satisfactorily to the child's ad-
vantage It gratifies, for the
moment at least, the youngsters
desires.
To him it seems a short cut
10 prosperity and it is perfectly
natural that he should Use
this method until he learns
that in the end it is not so
satisfactory.
When one considers that
children are born uncivilized,
non-social individuals, domi-
mated entirely by selfish mo-
tives it is not surprising that
pilfering among children is
common.
Stealing is but a deviation
from the normal instinct of
acquisition.
It is one of the instructive
tendencies that need to be i'll
hibited and directed by train
ing and experience. The child
lacks the latter and the parents
must supply the former.
AS with other aspects of
human conduct the exciting
cause must first be considered
in handling the problem. Only
by studying the motive for the
theft can you arrive at a proper
solution.
Basic Factors
The basic factors leading to
the habit are so numerous that
it is impossible to prescribe
any one method of treatment.
But the child just beginning
to toddle about can be taught
to respect the rights of others.
This is his" and that broth
er's" or "daddy's" Even the
infant will grasp that much.
Once the principle is firmly
fixed there will be less danger
of trouble later. g.
Moralizing won't help. Let
him learn from experience that
conduct which disregards the
rights of others does not work
out to his advantage.
No task requires higher intel
1igence from the parent and
none is more important in the
child's future social contacts.
The Washington times., 1933-12-14

One of the things nearly
everybody needs is a raincoat.
They're protection to clothes,
they save money in the long run,
and give untold service to any
one who has to go out much. So
why not put raincoat down for
the person on your list to whom
it would be welcome?
Initiating Coats
New ideas make them not only
Serviceable but fashionable, too.
They are in plaids, checks, and
in colorful rubberized materials.
They have capeS, Scarfs, even
bows tied under the chin to
make them different.
Materials vary from heavy
tweedy effects to thinnest crepe
de chine, treated with rubber to
make them impervious to rain.
A grand gift for a young girl,
or for anybody for that matter,
is a raincoat. umbrella and hat
to match. You may have looked
at such sets before, but been
discouraged because the hat
wasn't smart, or the price was
too high. But this year there's
one available that defies all such
objections.
At Bargain Price
We've had this set photo
graphed, and 1t is shown, the
checked ensemble, on this page.
Il is of rubberized cloth, in black
and white, or brown and white.
The hat has a slightly rip
pied brim, which you can wear
turned up or down. The um-
brella is sturdily made, and
the whole three pieces cost
only $5.95. If you think the
checks are too gay for some
one on your list, you can get
the same sort Of ensemble in
simpler materials.
We couldn't resist photo
graphing a stunning white
coat, too, as they are so smart
now. This coat, with big bow
tied under the chin, is of crepe
de chine, with dark buttons.
It IS SO, and if you've Shopped
before, you know this is mod
est for a silk coat. The hat
worn with it is called stormy
weather." and is of black felt.

Toys that give a child some
thing to do will outlast any
other in it's favor-thus, an
electric stove that cooks real
food. or a tiny washing ma
chine that will get out dolly's
weekly wash, will prove long
lasting favorites.
And for boys, as well as girls,
a miniature ping-pong table,
exactly like an adults in every
detail, is a never-ending de-
light.
Then, there are those we'll
known toy trains that are
fitted out with everything from
traffic lights to signal towers.
They come in simple or elab-
crate styles, from a tiny Toon-
erville Trolley to an up-to-date
Twentieth Century express.
Most boys will love the speed
and action afforded by these
toy trains-that is, if they can
get father away from them
long enough to play with it
themselves.
And for great big fellows
and girls, there are the active
