Rev. 3:21. 1 ; THE MEN OF TOMORROW ; The small boy, for all that we see so much of him, is usually a mystery. We talk a great deal about him; we. have traditions that begin, "small boys like " and "small boys always want " but half of the time we are wrong, and we do not always take pains to set ourselves right. The Boys' Club Federation of America recpntly set out to' get the right slant on boyhood's ideals, boyhood's games and boyhood's habits. It questioned a great many thousand boys, scattered through more than 125 cities in all parts of the country; and it learned some interesting things, un. o. ' To begin with, it was found baseball is not quite as popular among city boys as it used to be. This is not because of any defect in the game itself. It is simply that the growth of cities is leaving fewer and fewer places where boys can play ball. Then, too, the required equipment is rather ex pensive. In cities where boys' clubs or other organizations have provided athletic fields, baseball is as popular as ever. But in most cities the supply of playgrounds is woefully inade quate; and in the latter cases the lads play "soft ball," be cause less equipment and a smaller field are required. Boyhood's ambitions for the future are slowly changing. Years ago the average city youngster wanted to become a policeman or a fireman so that he could wear a bright new i uniform. Now the average boy aspires to become an aviator. In the football season he is apt to think that he would like : to follow in Knute Rockne's footsteps, and in the summer he is likely to yearn to be another Babe Ruth or Hack Wilson; but day in and day out it is the aviator who is his particular ideal and Lindbergh is still the American boy's favorite hero. ' Boys' reading habits seem to have changed for the better; I It is not often that the old yellowback thriller is found. To day's boy reads boys' magazines. It is interesting to note : that he still reads the Alger books. Mark Twain's tales are i also favorites, and. Ralph Henry Barbour's writings are i widely read. Now all of this is a little more important than we suppose, : Boys have a way of following their own bent in games and day-dreams. The most we can do is to see to it that the' : influences which guide their choice in these matters are ; wholesome. And by studying what they are playing and : what they are dreaming about we can tell whether we' are i succeeding. It is a good thing for us to check up on the i matter occasionally; for the day dreams and the games of ' today's boyhood will be reflected in the actions of the adult world tomorrow. This is Good Friday, and throughout the world today the thoughts of great multitudes will be turned to a sense of the beauty of compassion and sacrifice and the immeasurable force of the example of unselfishness. And at such a time .we almost see the way to happiness. Gardens will not produce anything unless they are spaded and planted and the weeds kept down. It' is so with any other major activity of life. The ground must be prepared, the seed must be planted, and, there must be care and cultiva tion. ROCKNE SERVICES AT 3 SATURDAY (Continued lunn Pago One) Rockne grave, has been consecrated for Catholic burial: the other part Is for non-Catholics. Because of the wish for simplicity and brevity, only 1400 of Rockne's closest friends will be admitted to the services at tho church and - grave.

Leader of Greeks Finds Himself In Political Turmoil PHANAR, Turkey fP) The oecu menical patriarch, Photlus in. whose domain Is In this Golden Horn sub urb of Istanbul, Is all mixed up in International politics. The Turkish press is attacking him for activities which, it Is charged. involves Turkey with Greece and So viet Russia. Photlus' decent anDolntment of the Metropolitan Evloglos as archbishop of the White Russian church in occi dental Europe, Is the cause of the attack. i Such an appointment, the Istanbul ' daily Vaklt declares, acts directly against the Russian government lnas- j much as the Soviet-appointed head of ', the Russian church at Moscow, had : removed Monsignor Evloglos from his leadership of the Russian church in' Paris. Moreover, it is argued, the alliance ; between Photlus and Evloglos restores t the Russian church, as far as all i wnite Russians are concerned, to its former subordination to the Oreek f orthodox organization. ,' Spokesmen for the 80,000 Greeks) nere maintain that their patriarch's gesture was motivated by religious; and notmolltlcal concerns. If he had been acting as a Greek nationalist, they say, he would not have Imperiled : the situation of the 600,000 Greeks in Russia by antagonizing the Soviet! government. ) In spite of the possibly serious ef fects upon these co-nationalists, Pho tlus, as head of the Orthodox church, wantod to bring back into the fold as ! much as he could of the Russian church. i The latter formerly was governed) by the oecumenical patriarch but was j maae independent by the czars.

LA GRANDE STORE Successors to N.K.WEST & C0. The Garden Hard Time Bring v Menus of Luxury WARSAW (Polish peasants have found a silver lining in the cloud of adversity which has shadowed farms throughout the world. Prices of eggs, poultry, vegetabcls, butter and milk aro so low that many peasants do not find It worth while to take their products to city mar kets. They prefer to eat them. As a result Polish peasants who for centuries have lived on potatoes and ryo bread, selling all other products, now sit down to plates of chicken, vegetables, butter and eggs. Health conditions on Polish farms havo Improved materially, espe cially among the children, and doc tors say the death rate Is the low est in the history of the country. City relatives of the farmers also aro finding tho uses of adversity sweet. The rush from the farms crowded tho urban centers and un employment has left 300,000 with out Jobs.

Well, you Just about have to grow your own If you want them because, for some reason, they are never plen tiful on the market. Because they re quire so little space, and because they are so easily grown, they may be planted in the home garden. Varie ties Include the' Improved Butter wax., Golden Wax. Wonder Wax, Black Wax, Kidney Wax and others. Plant several short rows of these, and if you find room in an out-of-the-way corner of the garden, it may be well to plant a few hills of the pole beans. Pole beans are an eco nomy of space, as more beans can be ODinineu irum itrns bpuue uy mi man j from the bush beans. This is partlcu- j which is most prolific. Pole beans may be staked with lath. Some com mercial growers set lath and string light wire or heavy string, providing a trellis. Dusting the beans occasionally with dusting sulphur will prevent any fun gus attacks and will control red spider or other Insects which may Infest them.
