wkI timr, loe will lni-n. In th1
fK-riml of iiunsiliiin, almo.-t anything
ry Iisjm- n. Ordinarily, fcivi-n proper
rare, lovs il miinaite to iotr the
years of their youth without doing
any groat aimiunt of deviltry. But
it lakes u t-tiong man and a good
woman' time to bring them up along
"Ihe right lines. BesddoH the influence
in the homo, there are a dozen other
forces at work tending to keep them
in the proper puths. The churches,
(nd the Hoy Scouts, mayhap the
Campfire girls, the big brother an l
the younger nit-tors, all help, to take
tout the rowdyism and smooth down
the rough spots.
Now and then, however, boys will
form into lawless bands, and they are
JuhI as dangerous as though they
Nvere grownups on mischief lent. The
older men, out on a tear, have com
non Hense to guide them, no matter
if it isn't apparent at times. With
rang of boys, the wildest one is
the ringleader, and the rest will do
ny old thing that he suggests.
Two or three evenings ago, no less
than twenty boys, aged all nr way j
from nine to fifteen, .started out on
a lark. Nobody knows how so many
toys of Kuch varying ages ne allowed
to roam the streets at ungodly hours,
tut these are facts. They stilted in
atl the tent show and attempted to
gain admission in the time-honored
way of crawling under the flaps. They
were perceived, routed and revengeful.
Hot being able to damage the show,
they Ftarted out to find something
they could dumage. An automobile
intrigued their interest. They tried
to tip it over and would have suc
ceeded had not the police intervened
a second time. This would have been
enough for most loys. An hour or two
dipped by, and complaint was made
that a gang of boys were in danger of
of setting fire to some buildings in
the residence pail of town. "1 his time
the police not only disper.-ed them,
but captured a half dozen. They were
Kuch little kids that nothing wis done.
The chief lectured them nnd turned
them loose, and after a while they
went home and to bed. Ten t one
their parents know nothing of ,t.
CT?n1y one thing make a man mad-j
der than to preach to him on the sub'
joct of his own faults and that is to
let him know that you think his chil
dren, need combing down. Every man
and woman has a private conviction
that the children of others are little
hoodlums, and need a sterner hand to
iruide them, but their ewn ah, Uu: lit
tle darlings arc not bad, really, they
are only mischievous.
Knowing the propensity of parents
to condone the faults of their off
ering, as well as to resent any sort
of outside interference, v.he Alliance
yoljcp rnnppt he blamed for not going
uirectly to the parents, especially wince
the children were released. The next
"time, the jKillce cay, they'll follow the
hard-boiled route anil take the youth
ful offenders to jail.
And so this is in the nature of a
t'p to parents. If you son plays down
town when he ought to be at home,
better find out what he does anil who
he trails with. Any nuin vho goes
to the business section at niul't will
tee dozens of cli'hhen on the streets. I

TaTore the next re'gn of kid terro
for after all, it is the ronsibilit
Of the parents, rnd one pi. U i
Um,er-.voo, f coui-w, that every ll.i
,""Y1J Buiitfcriber knows exactly what his.
children are doing whj thr-y 0 cut
of an evening, and that ibis warning
applies only t children in the hou-e
next door, or across the alley. But
if the police happen to get one ol
)iun by mistake, of couivr- you
Uiay be put to some little annoyance
in explaining the error.
In the meantime, is it too much to
hope that some of thoe days the city
will wake up and public spirited cit
irens see if there isn't some way to
provide amusement for boys. They
don't have so very much choice, now.
Maybe, if the truth were known, they
would rather be somewhere than in
the btreets. If movies and pool halls
and gutters are the only outlets pro
vided, rest assured that these are the
places where boys will be found. Once
on a time, years ago, parents made
the home a pleasant place for boyt-
and girls, and maybe, if boys prefer
the streets, there's a reason for it. The
police, however, aren't philosophers,
Hit simply protect property, and it
unil rapture rhiblitn, but if r.ece-Fary

irnety-nine out of every hundie
would vote against making the home

their top sergeants. Those stories may
le only another case of German pro
paganda, just as were the tales o
the black troops uai1ered there by
the French, who were alleged to 'c
committing atrocities against the un-
piotected German women. The actual
condition ifl said to be as follows:
The American troops in Germany do
not want to go home. They like it
very well where they are, thank you.
the officers live in a style they cou'd
not have at home. There are schools
for their children, commissaries to
supply American goods cheaply, their
jobs are easy, for the Germans are
behaving, and their salaries go a long
way at 77 marks to the dollar.
As for John W. Doughboy, he lias no
kick whatsoever. His tasks are limited
to a certain amount of drill work, par
ticipating in athletic games, swimming
in the Rhine, eating all he needs r.nd
seeing how wonderfully far his dollar
a day goes in cheap marks.

TT.e binder with Power Carrier
The John Deere is equipped
with a power bundle carrier.
To dump the bundle only slight
pressure on the carrier trip is
necessary. The bundles are de
livered all in one pile away from
the path of the horswi this is a
labor-saving worth-while feature.
You will like the Quick Turn
Tongue Truck. It takes oft" all
neck-weight from the horses and
enables them to turn at the ends
freely and easily. This truck
makes the horses' work a lot
easier.

he more frivolous topics. Paris sayr,
'Women's skirts are going to be
onger dow n to their ankles." That i
s a suitable topic. A headline in the
'.Vorld says, "Paris or no Paris, women
.vill not wear long skirts, so there."
Let us hope so! Some current skirts
tre too short for giate, but in the
nain women's skirts were never in the
nemory of living Americans so nearly
right as now, and on the whole, never
n interesting and so pretty. If Paris
is Rble to lengthen them unduly for
the benefit of various lines of busi
ness that benefit by changes of fash
on, it will be really a mortifying
thange. A partial emancipation of
women from the control of Paris
fashions is in every way desirable.
These are times to meet for economy,
ind rapid changes in fashion, if wom
en really follow them, are extremely
wasteful.

It is equipped with roller and

It has three packer arms and

course, in a good many t ases it is .
