Lindsey. There is no child problem that is not a parent problem and there is no parent problem that f? not an eco nomic and industrial problem. There fore, the state cannot escape its re sponsibility for the child any more than can the parent. This responsi bility I have sometimes called the SUPER-PARENTHOOD OF THE STATE. We find it exercised by the State in the education of the child, but it must be remembered that it is a responsibility at first grudgingly undertaken by the State and one fin ally accepted after bitter opposition. Free schools were once "ragged" schools and our magnificent public school system was originally looked upon with more or less scorn as be ing only for the poverty stricken poor. The state also assumes a very great responsibility for the morality of the child through its Childrens Courts. Here it no longer treats the child as a criminal, but as one of its own children to be "aided, helped, edu cated and redeemed." The next great step which the state is going to take in its responsibility for the child is in seeing that no child shall suffer just because of the poverty, ignorance or certain other faults of the natural parent, at least where it can be reasonably prevent ed. It is a matter of self-preserva- The Corner Stone In every structure is a headstone from which is determined its strength.

"It's no good," he said. ...' "But you don't know about it yet," said the mother. "I know that any 'outside' investment wherein anyone with email capital can buy stock and which offers more than 6 has an el ement of risk in it which you can ill afford," he replied. Two years later events forced the mother to sell and after all the "special clauses", had been observed, the interest she received on her money was less than 214. WE PAY 4 PER CENT ON SAVINGS. FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK - Heppner Oregon BLIND STUDENT WINS HIGH HONORS tion to the state itself to prevent the tragedies of childhood that come from such causes. But consistent with this idea is the one I have al ways equally advocated, namely, that as a part or this very duty and func tion of the state, is also its responsi bilityby adequate legislation to see to it that in the first instance the parent should be made to perform, or, in proper cases, should be assist ed to perform these functions. Yet if for any reason this is not possi ble, then the state must do it. And it must be done where possible in the natural home of the child how ever humble that home is. Children Underfed. From a survey of one school in a typical American city, it was discov ered that 30 per cent of the children in that school had only one parent generally the mother. This was due to such causes, often unavoidable, as death, insanity, separation, desertion etc. In that same school, half of the children were underfed and sadly neglected as ,to health, largely be cause of such conditions as poverty and unemployment, even where both parents were living. Thus in spite of holding the parent to every pos sible responsibility, it was impossible to secure for one-half of the children in that school the justice, I believe them entitled to. Here is where the child's super- parent the state must step in. It must do what the natural parent could not do, or that the state failed to make them do. The state must provide, in such cases, the services of doctors, food and health experts including the food and other where withals for health. It must be just as free as education is free. Other wise, of what use is education? It is well for us to remember that when the very life of the state is imperiled by war, it has the right to go into the homes and take the child of 18 with or without the consent of the parent and send him to the battle fronts of the world, to lay down his life, if need be, for the state, and surely the child is taught that it is a part of its duty, in such an emergency, to give up his life, if 11 CAMPAIGN Such A Move, If Successful Would Stimulate Every Ac tivity in the Nation Work for the Jobless and Or ders for the Silent Factor ies Can Be Forseen By Rex Grover White, Editor Community News Service.

Kamm is rated as the greatest third baseman in the minors. He seems to be happy in the picture. and struck the customer on the head with a heavy silver dish cover. America today is suffering from sore feet, its finance, its economic status, its internal misunderstand ings, its external irritations, are all tweaking at their base and how long it will be before we, as a nation, go mad and do things we will regret, may be a matter of speculation. To remove some of these irritations is a matter that is up to the individual citizen more than to any organized action on the part of bodies of citiz ens created for executive, advisory or other purposes. One of the first ways to create contentment, not slothfulness, and ambition, a new love of country, state and city, is to cause these units to have something they can be proud of, work for, find HIDDEN CIVIL WAR MONUMENT DISCOVERED A most interesting historical find has just been made by a cameraman of a monument nearby Washington, D. C, erected to an unknown south ern soldier, killed by a shell from Fort Stevens during the Civil War. This monument'was so hidden by dense woods, that its existence was not known until the recent dis covery by a cameraman.

The above is a new and unusually charming por trait which was made in England during her recent visit there as Special Commissioner on Immigration. a goal to battle toward, and a reward worth while at the end. If these units can be made to do so their uni ted efforts, although carried on inde pendently, will surely react for a greater prosperity for the whole and thus relieve many of the irritations already mentioned. What of This Idea With this as a general basis on which to speculate it is not possible that the mind of America can be re moved from the ache of its feet if concentrated on something else and especially if that somehting else is a curative agent that is working all the time toward national, spiritual and economic health. What is man most proud of, most eager to work for, most desirous to retain once secured, most insistant upon remaining fine and a center for all his own hopes and ambitions as well as those he entertains for his family? The answer is, of course, the home. The home may be a rented flat, it is true, but it needs no deep speculation or careful consideration to see that the man who owns his own home is far more deeply interested in the welfare of his neighborhood, his ward, city, state and country. It is obvious then that it will be a good thing for these various political and geographical locations if he be made to own a home. Perhaps a Cure. We have a period of depression at present as all know. What more cre ative of optimism, of an active labor market, of a renewed faith and ambi tion, of a quickened production, could be suggested than a general move to build homes by all the thous ands of men who should be building them, buying them, owning them, but who for any one of many reasons are now renters? If a national campaign could be organized and launched with the support and co-operation of all civic boards of trade, real estate boards, organizations of builders, lumber dealers, brick manufacturers, in fact every producing group that is a creator of materials used in build ing, there is little doubt but what every newspaper in the country that has the interestsof its city at heart, and that means all papers, would join in hearty co-operation.

Lord, for some years director of finance of the army will succeed Charles G. Dawes, present budget chief, when the latter retires at jhe nd of June. " lation beyond calculation and the very business boom thus created in turn would make new individuals capable and willing to build and buy homes and thus go further along a move that seems well fated to be an endless circle of good. The recent war brought home to this nation as never before what a home may mean and how dearly it should be field, especially to those who were over seas came the realiza tion that the nations are built of the homes and the greatest unity of pur pose and unity of ambition rested where homes were owned, not by the few but by the many.
