THE BIGHTS MD WRONGS OF CHILDHOOD
The keynote of the newer
world's attitude to the child will
be thoroughness, which means
enlightened and efficient justice.
The state will put avay the un
certain and tinkering methods
which it has heretofore employed
in dealing with the child. Eng
land has introduced a system of
old age pensions, which is peculi
arly revolting to those who have
never been distressed by the spec
tacle of men thrown to the ash
heap after twenty or thirty or
forty years of faithful service in
the industrial army.
Some day a wisely far-seeing
state will introduce a system of
child pensions or child boun les.
Under present economic condi
tions, child-labor cannot be pre
vented by laws even when
loosely drawn and lightly enforc
ed. In the event of the bread
winner of the family being lost
through death or desertion, het
state ought to allow the needed
subsidy to the home in order that
the child may be kept in school
or in the home and be kept away
from industry. Through what
might be called child pensions,
which would really be home
pensions, the state can prevent
child-labor and maintain the in
tegrity of the home of the widow
or deserted wife. Stephen S.
Wise, Ph. D., in the Pacific
Monthly for August
To Build Greenhouse
J. M. McDonald will 'erect a
greenhouse on his property in
South Monmouth this. fall. Mr.
McDonald hz? been insnoot;rf
:he kttat mode's in gree.vnoiHt
architecture and will build on
modern lines. He will construct
a small house at first and as the
business demands more space,
he will add to it Tnis will fill a
long felt want of this part , of
Oregon. There is a large amount
of early vegetables brought here
lrom California and Portland.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Mc
Donald will meet with sufficient
encouragement to enable him to
ouild a large greenhouse by
spring.

Between Tear and Laughter.
"Do you ever think, George, dear."
said she. and her voice was soft and
low. as befitted the perfect loaiity of
the nlht. "do you ever think how
closely true happiness Is allied with
tears?-
"I don't believe I ever do," admitted
George dear, "but I will, if you like."
"Yes," she weut on, gailng up Into
his face, and her lips were very close
to his, "when oue Is truly and wholly
happy, George, dear, there Is but little
to divide a smile and a tear."
"Well, that's a fact." assented
George dear. "But I never thought of
It before. After all. there's nothing
but the nose." Londou Auswers.
