though it may be difficult to make them see it that way
now. The streets of Vernonia are no place for boys and
girls to spend all their leisure time. Find something for
them to do around the house, just enough to keep their
minds occupied a liberal part of the time, and the vacat
ion will be worth more to them both now and in the years
to come. American youth has shown an inclination to
“take things easy” in recent times, with the result that
sooner or later this country may find list of drones as
large as that which now menances the future of England.
Keep the boys and girls doing just enough dusing vacat
ion to prevent their forgetting the curse of idleness.

ANOTHER GOOD “CROP”
T appears that we are not only indebted to the rural
sections of the nation for the things we eat but also
for those who are coming on to eat them. In spite of
the fact that the population of the cities is increasing
Uncle Sam has just issued a bulletin showing that the
birth-rate in the fanning districts and small towns is
52 percent greater. The figures state that the time of the
last census there were 128 children in the cities for every
100 wives between the ages of fifteen and forty-five
while in the smaller towns there were 157 children and
in the purely farming sections 195 children. This refer
ence to towns means places of from 250 to 2,500 popul
ation. In the country there are 109 men to every 100
women and in the towns 95 men for every 100 women.
These are interesting figures, but far more so to those
who live on the farms in the towns, for it proves that
they are, after all, the ones to whom the country must
look for its future citizens.

KEEP THEM BUSY
CHOOLS are nowr closing through the country, and
the summer vacation season will again find our boys
and girls enjoying the well-earned rest towhich they are
entitled. No one begrudges them a vacation, and every
one wants them to get the most out of it. But those who
have their welfare most at heart are those who realize
that vacation time should not mean a time of complete
idleness. Give the boy and girl something to do through
the summer months—-it will be for their own good, even

from Washington that the American Association of
Highway Officials is laying plans for a standarized road
sign system. Under it all road signs throughout the U.
S. will be uniform. Once a man learns the system he is
safe in all parts of the country—the signs will mean
the same thing whereever tehy are found, and there will
be no need for confonius. With standard road signs,
