pigeons trained on the vast estates on the Continent.
 Because boat communication be- tween Juneau and Jualin was a several hours time waster, the royal mine operators used the homing pigeons to carry messages back and forth over the miles separating Ju- neau and the mine.
 But the war came along, and the mine folded, and the pigeons were left with the watchman at the mine For some reason or another, the pigeons did not stay at the mine but flew back to Juneau. Their descendants still live in Juneau to- day.
 There are about 40 of the birds, "moochng" popcorn and cracked corn from bird lovers. They have their nests on the stringers beneath Juneau's wharves.
 And when the old waterfront hobo in his little shack cooks a pigeon stew, he doesn't realize that he is actually dining on the food of kings.

anything you Will be ashamed TO
record. "I'd have to put that in
my diary" is a thought that has
deferred many a diary keeper
from committing, to say the least,
an indiscretion, and has modified
the conduct of those given to COM
hitting irregularities of behavior.
Diary keeping develops atten-
ton to details and orderliness in
thinking. It teaches facility in eX-
preston - and conciseness, too,
since the fewer words in which a
matter is stated, the less work
setting it down.
And the diary is an admirable
reference history of events in
ones life, which one values more
and more as the years stretch out.
To read back and see how ones

AND WHY NOT?

Senator Cotton Ed) Smith of South Carolina,
champion of the farmer, is going to ask congress
for complete change in our attitude to this farm
pproblem and that the loan rate on cotton be in
creased from S.3 to more than IL cents.
The farmer needs some one to champion his
cause in Washington. Every other group has a
champion Labor has its Lewis, business has its
u S. Chamber of Commerce, manufacturers, ex-
porters, railroads, power companies, communica-
ton lines, all have their lobbyists and pressure
groups to plead for them. The harder the plea and
pressure the greater the results a..".
Senator Smith takes the position that since the
government is recklessly handing out favors, they
might as well came the way of the farmer. Says
he, at would cost only 1926, 100000 and what is
that compared with the billions that are being
poured out for those who are not even producing
what we wear and eat. ...r..
Yes the doors of the treasury have been opened
and out goes the money for thousands of different
things Might it not as we'll be distributed just as
freely to the farmer? The price of farm commodi-
ties, especially cotton is much below parity If the
South is the major economic problem of the nation,
would it not be wiser to solve this problem by in
creasng the aid to the cotton farmer than by pour
ing millions into power dams, canals and trans
continental highways?-Shelby Star.

SETTLED?

So the current European troubles have been
settled.
Yes, the current crisis seems to have been met
by the important conference of representatives of
the four great powers of Europe.
If an international commission can be set up
and future troubles met at the conference table,
all well and good. That is the sensible way. But
knowing the words of Hitler, and believing that
the dictator has far greater grasping ideas than
those currently advertised, we are of the opinion
that greater issues will evolve within the brief
space of few years
Sacrifices had to be made at this time. They
have been made in behalf of Germany and we can
only hope, without much expectation, that the
present solutions will prove of greatest benefits TO
the whole world.
We hope, but we are none too optimistc.-Rock

Editor, The Times-News:
The paragraph in "Wait a Min
ute" by Noah Hollowell, in the
September thirtieth issue of The
Times-News, which l here quote,
is to the point. Here is the quo
tation: "THE SECOND COMING:
There are people who will flock
to hear any preacher discuorse ON
the second coming of Christ.
From the trend of their discus
sions | am wondering if they at
tend to get new information or
confirmation of their own ideas"
"Wait a Minute" is right. But
the truth he so correctly expresses
applies to other themes in the
realm of religion than the one
named, as the author of "Wait a
Minute" knows as well as l..
Neither is the truth set forth in
the above quotation confined to
religious topics. 1t is found in
every phase of life that can be
spoken and heard. Even political
listeners are not free from Its
deadly snare. | say deadly snare,

take toward any phase of life:

THE OBLIGATION MUTUAL

Of course 1T is the duty OF the
parents to give their children love,
protection and instruction. But
there is also the obligation on the
part of the children to justify the
benefits. and the blessings they re-
ceive from their parents. And
that obligation consists of love,
honor and obedience.
And It is the fault of the par
ents if fac children are not
brought up to realize and prac-
tice their obligation to their par
ents. AS soon as the child is old
enough to understand, which is at
about the age of three days, his
education in his duty to his par
ents should begin. If such educa-
ton is properly impaired and the
obligation of the parents is con-
scientiously administered, there
will be comparatively few rebel
lious, disobedient, insolent young
people. Do justice and teach JUS
tice is a sound principle in deal
ing with children.
