PRICES ROSE WITH - MEXICAN REV By RALPH H.

Eyery accompanied by ¢ characteristics. Scores people, becoming trightened, into the cities. The capital attracts the largest npumber. The result is ~ double-edged,—production of food products wanes, and the demand in the cities begins to increase. Simul- taneously, speculators get busy on all ides. - s ed;;e overthrow of Carranza and the circumstances leading to that event were no exception to the rule. As residents of the capital began to stock up with provisions, siege, prices mounted apace. In one month the price of chareoal, jndispensable in native kitchens, rose from seven centavos & Kkilo (21-6 1bs ) to 14 centavos. The eame per- jod witnessed the following. increases in stable, commodities: potatoes, from 28 to 60 centayos a kilo; sugar, beans, 26 Mexican revolution has been common prices are by the kilo. A centavo is half a cent in A;qq;lcan qurrency. The increase in vegetables prices was general, the price of = caulifiower jumping from 16 to 50 centavos a head. Today it Is believed the peak of high food prices has been 'reached. Not only is production expected to in- -crease, but the revolutionaries de- clare they intend putting a curb on the speculators and at the same time may remove, or decrease, some of the duties on imported products. " WIVES ARE EXPENSIVE 1 3 5 2 The entire savings of many f in Mongolia, Ching, are set aside to provide the wives with orthodox finery. This elaborate and cumbersome head- fearing a{ 0ver|o;k,ed—by the government. It arose from a frame-up. The story is a Ta \ Cbrrespon_dents .in'Washington of the class: “Ah, she shocks s0 easy.” 1If discipline means due subordina- tion to authority, subjection to laws, rules, orders, or precepts, and if, in the truest semse, discipline means educated, then to the task of educat- ing-the little child we must bring all the - consecrated common .sense we own. It is not an uncommon occur- rence for a kindergarten to see enter- ing the schoolrooma large, imposing, 5 foot 10 mother, leading by the hand a.small, 3-foot high child, and as the mother performs the necessary rite of introduction to have her remark, ; :|“He is only 4 years old, but we can't HE senate, the other day, passed a bill directing the secretary of the treas- ury to pay “to Gertrude Lustig, the sum of $1,286.53, being the amount she would have received as pay and allowances as chief narse, army nurse- COrps, from September 28, 1018, the date of +her unjustifiable, dismissal from that position, to May 22, 1919, tbe date of her restoration: to 'the’service.” Tn reply. to questions Senator. Wadsworth sald: 3 | i “The unforiynate thing was that the nurse in question was in jail dur- ing that entire time. This case con- stitutes one of ‘the’ most distressing and ‘horrible things that. 1 have ever encountered in’ connection with the treatment .of a good.woman by the distressing one, and I hesitate very much to tell it. The military intelligence department of the war department realized the error. that had been m d the depart-. ment of justice also realized it; and beth departments, together with the sur- geon general, the head of the whole medical service, joiried in an urgent re- quest that this relief be granted to Miss.Lustig. She has been: restored to service, and she is now a member of the army nurse corps. I may say to the senators that the government has done its best to locate the blame for this thing, The persons Involved in it have utterly disappeared.” This 8 practically all that was said in the senate goncernir.i:g the facts in the case, Senator King of Utah sald: “I feel that the war department should determine who committed this crime against them criminally, and. compel to reasonable time I shy the nurse and prosecute refund the amount. Affer waiting a& tigation of the entire matter.” Common Sense Is Compounded of an Imaginative Power Which Enables Us to Put Ourselves Sympathetically in “the Other Fellow’s Place” and Bring to Bear a Sense of Proportion and of Humor Part I. \ ; - No one can discipline children suc- cessfully who has not common sense. Some ‘one has said that it is called common sense, not because it is.so commonly used, but because it is so commonly needed. I It we analyze common . sense i relation to discipline in the kinder-|&: garten or in the home, we may. claim that it is compounded of: an imagin- ative power which enables us to pu ourselves sympathetically in the.oth er fellow’s place, experiénce \ aids us in viewing things in their relation to the whole'as we know it, $and ‘a sense of humor. A sense.of humor is one of the prime requisites in any successful work, from the Kkit- chen to the pulpit. I . Common sense means a sense of proportion, seeing things in relation even to the point of seeing the hum- orous side of each situation. We must be.able to discern clearly what seem- ingly little tuings are really big, and what apparently important things are really trivial. As Gilbert Chesterton puts it: Wwe do not say “A tall, slender good- looking gentleman who is a graduate of Oxford,. has fallen overboard!” We say, “Man_Overboar: in time hieh | (Written for the Kindergari:eri Division, Bureau of Education.) ———————————————————— "{of stress, eliminating nonessentials | which a moment before seemed all- important.” A 3 In dealing with boys, particus larly, a common sense distinction be- tween what is wrong, and demands to be dealt with, and what is really t “boy,’”" is very necessary to suc-f| ful training. A Sunday schooli class of lively boys was questioned by ‘their teacher after an absence during which they had been taught by a sub- titute. “Well, boys, how did you get on while I was gone?” - Rather sheepish glances were exchanged; finally ‘one boy volunteered the information, “We! weren’t very good.” : “Oh, why not? I found the very nicest teacher I could for-you. How did it happen that you did not treat her well?’ * The boys. shuffled ahout uneasily, and finally the spokesman burst out. “Well, we didn’t like her, and I said to the other kids, ‘Let’s be bad,’ and we was bad.” “But I want to know why you didn’t like her.’ * ’ After desperate struggles with the introspective problem presented one|; of them produced this, which seemed an expression satisfactory to the rest A Few Specials at The B & D Shoe Store FOR Saturday And i | Monday Only Ladies’ Fine Black Kid Ox- fords, full Louis heel, reg- ular $10 values, reduced for Saturday and Monday " Ladise’ Fine Black Kid Ox- fords, Cuban heel, regular $10.00 values, to go gturday gnd Monday atss. only ..

' The boy rolls his eyes at the teach- er and smiles in cheerful anticipation of more worlds to conquer. We are reminded ‘of the claim" made recently by an incensed. foreigner, ‘“There. is just-as much family discipline in Am- erica as there ever was, only now it is ip the hands of the children.’ | In our ‘renewed- recognition'of the rights of the child let us not fail to see that one of his inalienable rights is that of such training as will make hi ma useful and: happy ‘member of the socjal order and not a menace to his neighbors and a curse to himself. He must learn to answer to the rud- der os he must inevitably answer to the rocks. As we bring our common .sense to FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1920 bear upon the problem of discipline in the kindergarten we seize upon obe- dience--as the virtue to be developed first .of all.. He learns to rise, to march with the others or at the time designated, not because each is a moral act in itself, but because it is part of a process which is a prepara- tion for life in a world of law, where each has his allotted place, duties, privileges, and ‘where, cooperation ‘is the aim and’ a requisite of success. Dr. Felix.Adler says, in ‘‘Moral In- struction ‘of Children”: ' “I -do not maintain that regularity itself ' is moral, but that it is tavorable to morality because it curbs inclination. I do not say that rules are always good, but that the life of impulse is always bad. - Good conduct consists in regulating our life according to good principles; and a: willingness to abide by rules is the first, the indis- pexisable condition of moral growth.” WHY.IT PAYSTO. - " .CLEAR UP LAND promotion :work, which {8 now.being done-in northern Minnesota: by-the co-operation of the Minnesota college of agriculture, the Farm, bureay; ‘and ‘business men and rajlroqd cp}'parg.tlong of th_efl’l"wln Cit- {es, s strongly endorsed by men who have had experiénce in clearing land and who know what the sofl will do when. once cleared ' of the. forest growth. : The value of cleared land depends, of course, upon the value of the crops that the land can produce in a series: of years under a practical system of farming. ~The land at the North Sentral experiment station at Grand Rapids, is 'typical of a large area of / northern Minnesota.
