RED OLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF i T i & & & fc . l---, u r.y DEE IN THE INVESTMENT The Western Canada Farm Prof its Are Away in Excess. Mr. George II. Iinrr, of Iown, holds seven sections of hind In Suskntchc wnn. These he litis fenced and rent; ed, cither for pasture or cultivation', all paying good interest on the Invest ment. Mr. llarr says thnt farm lund tit home in Iown is held at $150 per ncrc. These hinds are In n high state of cul tivation, with splendid Improvements In houses, bams, stithies and silos, and yet, the revenuo returns from them are only from two to three per cent per annum on investment. Last year, 1015, his half share of crop on ti quarter section in Saskatche wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him 85 per cent on the capital invested 525.0Q an acre. The crop yield was 85 bushels per ucre. "his year the sarao quarter-section, sown to lied Fife on stubble gave tt,280 bushels. Ills share, 3,0411 bushels of 1 Northern at $1.50 per bushel, gave him $2,5011.03. Seed, half the twine and half the threshing bill cost him $153.00. Allow ing a share of the expense of his an nual Inspection trip, charged to this quarter-section even to $110.00, and ho has left $2,000.00, that is 50 per cent of the original cost of the laud. Any one can llguro up that another aver age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent on Investment, as in Iowa, but the totnl price of the land. Mr. Bnrr says: "That's no Joke now." Mr. Barr was Instrumental In bring ing n number of farmers from Iowa to Baskatchewun In 1013. lie referred to one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, n tenant farmer In Iowa. He bought n quarter section of improved land at $32.00 an acre near llanley. From proceeds of crop in 1914, 1015, 1910, he lias paid for the land. Mr. Barr asked him a week ago: "Well, George, what shall I tell friends down home for you?" Tho reply was: "Tell them I shall never go back to be a tenant for any man." Another man, Charles Halght, realized $18,000 In cash for his wheat crops In 1915 and 1910. Mr. Bnrr when at home devotes most of his time to raising and deal ing in live stock. On his tlrst visit of Inspection to Saskatchewan, ho real ized the opportunity there was hero for grazing cattle. So his quarter flections, not occupied, were fenced and rented ns pasture lands to farm ers adjoining. Ills creed Is : "Let na ture supply the feed all summer while cattle are growing, and then In tho fall, tnke them to farmsteads to bo finished for market. There Is money In It." Advertisement.

BOTH CALL FOR RESTRAINT- What Kind and How Much Are the Real Considerations That Must Be Studied by the Wise Parent. By SIDONIE M. GRUENDERG. ONE does not need to be very old to recall the days when all chil dren were well-behaved and respectful to their elders. And those of us who nre too young to remember the good old days can get from European visi tors the assurance that American chil dren nre, on the whole, altogether too free In their speech. Indeed, our vis itors from abroad are more frequently shocked by the "impudence" of our children than they are impressed by the height of our buildings. It must bo admitted that our chil dren nre rather outspoken. In our re action against the crushing restraints of purltanlsin, we have no doubt gone too far. And In rejecting the old stand ards of human and child conduct we have too frequently failed to establish definite standards of our own. But we are not compelled to choose between disrespect nnd lawlessness on the one hand, and repression and hypocrisy on the other. Children must have free dom, but they can and should be taught to speak in n more respectful and mannerly fashion. A great deal of what older people resent ns "Impudence" Is really not of fensive In spirit, but when the shock ing word is spoken It is not always ac companied by its own explanation. It is necessary for older people to under stand what goes on in the child's mind, Instead of waiting for the child to moke the explanation. There are three common sources of "Impudence" that we can learn to understand and to treat. Children unconsciously Imitate the tones and expressions thnt they hear nt home or among their associ ates. If a child is often scolded and reproved fh conrse terms, we should not expect him to use gentle and re fined speech In situations that call forth his critical and resentful spirit. We nre outraged on hearing n young miss sny to her father: "You were crazy to go out without your umbrel la; you might hnvo seen It would rain." But It does not take us long to find out that the child is using the inenuiy anu conventional language or Tho Days When All Children Were Well Behaved. her own home. There is no question of disrespect or insolence. We learn thnt the girl does not mean to be of fensive. But It Is clear that she can not cultivate reverence while she con tinues to speak in this manner to her parcntB. What Is at first but an inele gant use of language comes In time to bo an unwholesome nttltude toward other people. There are two things we may do In such a ense. We may cither establish the rule that tho child must use only certain kinds of expres sions nnd tones In addressing older people, and must avoid others. This would Insure tho preservation of the outward forms. Or we may furnish tho child with the models that wo should not fear to have copied. Wo must decide for ourselves which meth od wo nre to prefer: the arbitrary sep aration of the child's notion of conduct Into that which Is to be permitted to ciders but forbidden to children, nnd thnt which Is permitted to all, or the cultivation of a wholesome atmosphere of consldernteness nnd respect for oth ers. When tho offensive word or grlmnco Is tho genulno expression of n hateful mood, we have n different problem. Under tho older Idens of bringing up children the chief emphasis was laid on repressing the outward manifesta tions of the objectionable feelings. Now, while It Is true that to n certain extent the feelings can bo smothered aB their expression Is restrained, there wns no posltlvo effort to cultivate friendly or reverent emotions. The re sult of this policy shows Itself too fre quently In Indifference, In hypocrisy and In some kind of "explosion." Run ning away from homo Is nn explosion of this kind, being In a large propor tion of cases set off by an emotlonnl disturbance for which tho child had no suitable means of expression. Where the Btcam cannot bo let off something Is likely to break looso vio lently. Of course wo do not wish our chil dren to have "bad emotions." But be- 3 - fill 1L WwSjA 55a yond the point where they can be safe ly suppressed ltls better that we know Just what the children feel. Occasion al expressions of 111 will or of Irrever ence may be taken as the occasion for a during up the moral atmosphere. Talking a situation over with the child will often bring to the surface linger ing shred" of spite or bitterness. These gnawing and growing usually only where the children are fairly free to give expression to their feelings, re strained only by what they learn of genuine respect and courtesy. In many cases what appears as dis respect or worse Is merely an Indica tion of Ignorance or crudeness, This was Illustrated by a little boy of four, whose violent Jumping on a rickety stair was Interrupted by his cautious grandmother. When the old lady's back was turned the child whispered to his brother, "Don't you wish she wns dead?" This was a scandalous thing to hear, and under other circum stances a child saying nnythlng like that would have been mercilessly chastised. But In this case, as In many others, there was neither mallco VmRiaaH Children Unconsciously Imitate the Tones and Expressions That They Hear at Home. In the child's feelings nor understand ing his mind. In all good faith he wished the disturbing grandmother be yond good and evil. A child needs In n case of this kind not reproof or pun ishment, but enlightenment. He must learn tho remoter meanings and Im plications of the words he uses, nnd he must learn to speak dlscrUnlnately. Whether the undesirable modes of expression that we commonly cnll Im pudence are the results of Imitating bad models, or the results of unre strained freedom of expression, our remedies nro not to be sought In en forced silence. It Is well for us to know first of all what the sources of the Impudence nre, and then deal with these. Wo cannot always regulate In advance the Inngunge and manners of the associates of our children, but we can do a great deal to make the home Impressions what they ought to be. And It is better for us to know Just what the children think and feel and Improve their thoughts nnd feelings than to foster hatred and hypocrisy under the eloak of decorum. DEVOTED TO HIS NECKTIE Strango How Neckwear Will Weave Itself About the Tcndere6t Parts of a Man's Heart. Every morning we stand before the mirror, flap the large end over nnd around, push It behind and up and draw It carefully through. It becomes a habit, and yet, like dining. It has a certain fascination. The keen pleas ure of n now and uncreased crnvttt helps to make n whole week brighter. And that dread day when a white spot appears In the center of the front of our favorite green one, or when tho beloved brown pnrts Internally, and, while appearing tho snme without, tells us that It Js gone forever that day our coffee Is bitter and the mer cury low. But we never cruelly desert it faith ful friend. For a couple of times after tho white spot appears we try to tie It farther up or lower down, usually with pathetically Ineffectual results. And then we pasture It back some where on the rack with the bow-ties that nre not good tnste nny more and the selections mndo by a worthy aunt nt n reduction snle, and let It enjoy n quiet old age. Somehow eventunlly It disappears. We do not know how. Perhnps a careless maid drops It In a waste-basket, or a plotting wlfo makes wny with It. But most probably, like old watches and college text-books, it has some unseen heaven of Its own whither It Is wafted nfter Its llfo amongst us Is over. From tho Atlan tic. v- "Lambamena."

STOLEN BY RIVAL BAND Romany Beauty Grew to Womanhood nnrl Loves Son of Man Who Stole Her Mother Claims Her. Oakland, Cal. Ilomnnee Is mingled with Hie bartering of human life anu happiness and the burning Jealousy of nomad peoples In the cate of Amelia Mitchell, u gypsy girl, of Oakland, Cal. She stands In the court of Judge Og den torn between love for a youthful swiiln of her own Impetuous blood and the fierce desire of her parents to get her back. And Into this strange med ley of play and passion, of love and of hate, science has stepped to give the verdict. Science will decide between the claim of the mother that the girl Is sixteen years of age and the asser tion of the opposing side that she Is eighteen, the legal age for marriage In California. Watched With Interest. The ease Is one of unusual Interest nnd Is being watched with great Inter est by scientific men In all sections of the country. The verdict probably will rest with determinations made by Dr. S. II. Buteau, who asserts that the X ray will show the age of any person af ter they pass the fifteenth year. Back many years runs the series of events that have brought the rival gypsy bands lhto court. When Amelia Mitchell was still a child she disap peared from her people after the Bra zilian band of gypsies had crossed tho path of the Adams baud of Itomany. Amelia's parents Insist she was kid naped, but they never located the girl until a few years ago when she was found, happy and contented, with the Romany tribe, headed by Alee Adams. Meanwhile, according to testimony glv- Claims Bride by X-Ray. en by Adams, his son, George, age sixteen years, and Miss Amelia had fallen In love nnd had become en gaged. Paid for His Bride.

They say the girl Is only sixteen years of age. They declare they have not been paid for the girl and that she Is not happy with the Adnms chin. They arc demanding their rights and Insist thnt Amelia shall be returned to her mother, who had seven other children In court with her.
