"Trouble Started at Home. Undoubtedly the greatest fault in the brinhging up of Dorothy Ellingson who shot her mtoher to death in their home in San Francisco can be traced to-the parents. The girl at 16 years of age was running wild attending dances drinking and associating with young men of dissolute character. What could a mother expect to be the result of such associations, and by allowing,a mere child to get away so compldtely from her control? ° The time té begin disciplining and controlling children is when they are old enough to understand what discipline means amd usually that is at a very tender age, and that control should be rigidly enforced until the youngsters are old enough to distinguish between right and wrong. More home trainjng and not so much law and other outside restrictions would' work wonders among the boys and girls and have avery great tendency to redpce the number of tragedies and heart-aches parents are called upon to endure. —Columbia City Post.
