"HELP PEOPLE TO HELP THEMSELVES," IS KEYNOTE OF PROBATION MOVEMENT

Thrift, as a means of doing away with unnecessary dispensing of charity in Wayne county, will be taught the people of the county who hare Been asking for charitable aid in the past, under the plan proposed by Judge Bond, of Wayne Circuit court. Judge W. A. Bond has issued an appeal to the citizens of the county to act as voluntary probation officers, for those children who have become public charges, either through the inability of their parents to care for them properly or through their parents' shiftlessness. Under the scheme proposed by the Judge, as children are brought into Juvenile court, some person will be asked to become voluntary probation officer and look after them with a "view toward teaching parents how to i properly provide for their families 'without seeking aid of the county. "Charity" Not Needed According to the Judge there are few 'instances in Wayne county other than 'cases where the family has been stricken with illness, where charity or public aid is really necessary, if

persons who seek the aid of county j

institutions are only taught how properly to manage their finances. Numerous instances have arisen where parents have neglected their children, or have not been able properly to provide for them, only because one or both of the parents have been poor managers. "It is my intention," Judge Bond eald, "not so much for these voluntary probation officers, or 'big brothers' ns they have been termed, to give financial assistance for the poor, as to teach these people how to live properly, and comfortably on the income they have. I have known instances where men who have earned

high wages during the summer!

months, while engaged in some occupation such as building, which can

only bo pursued in the summer, who j become objects of public charity as !

noon as winter cornea on.

ony how to manage their affairs and to! look forward to the winter months; ; there have been instances in juvenile j court where men have lived entirely , beyond their nians while they were 1

working during the summer, and they did not pive any thought, whatsoever to the corning, winttr.

Must Learn to Save j "These people must be taught how j to save during the timed when they are earning wage?, and to retrench I for the time when their incomes have been cut off. it in not a question of j depriving themselves of any neeessi-, ties at any time, but rather to teach these people, who have so long been ; a burden on the county, how to live j without luxuries during times that are! prosperous in order to have the ne-! cKsiti-!' of lite when their work is not; plentiful." j Usually the class of people that ask1 for charity are more or less shiftless,! according to the judge, ;md in order! properly to care for their children, i some compulsion for saving must be!

placed upon them. The judge declarid he thought it advisable, in the easel of necessity, t von to go so far as to J take the an :r.i;s of a family, and handle their finances for them, until i f-uch a time as they might be able properly to care for it themselves.. ! "Only the other day, a man came in-1 to juvenile court for neglecting his j hildrcn, and upon examination Ij found lie had made as high as $40 a week. This would have been more j than enough to keep his family in i comfort, but there were not even; enough beds in their home for the; children, who had to sleep on the.

floor. That man could not tell where his weekly earnings were spent, and had made no apparent effort to stop the leak. Big Brothers Asked." "It is such families as those, where the children might be properly cared !or, if the parents knew how to save,

that I ask for 'big brothers' and I hope that people will come forward with

their assistance in this plan." "With a plan such as this, it would not be necessary, with the present demand for labor, and the high wages that the laboring man is getting, for anyone to ask for charity from the county, or from any other organization, except in case of long periods of illness. "There is not an able bodied man in the county that cannot find employment sufficiently profitable to keep himself and his family in comfort, but it will be necessary for some of these men to be taught how properly to care for their finances. . "I would suggest, if the plan is carried in operation, that the men be required to keep some account of their earnings, and I am sure that once they learn the value of saving, they will never return to their former habits, end that the people of the county will be saved hundreds of dollars annually through not having to handle so many charity cases. "It is within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court to force these men to vork but nothing can be done to better conditions until the men are taught the value of work, and saving in connection with their work. It is for this purpose that I intend to start the voluntary probation officer scheme."

UMMtmatHDUUHMHUHt MURRETTE Despite the fact that "A Desert Hero," Fatty Arbuckle's latest contribution to the joy of nations. In a sense a travesty on western pictures of the rapid fire variety, it is one of the most elaborately staged and consturned pictures in which the comedian has ever appeared. This new Para-mount-Arbuckle comedy is seen at the Murrette theatre today and tomorrow and will, It is believed, far surpass even "The Sheriff," which was accounted one of Mr. Arbuckle's most popular films. For the dance hall scene an interior setting was constructed that Is probably the largest ever used for a western drama. In this setting much of the comedy action transpires and more than a hundred and fifty people take part, including miners, ranchers, dance hall girls, etc. Molly Malone plays the leading role opposite Fatty and she might be termed the desert heroine, for she is the

one upon whom the husky comedian lavishese his affections and for whom he runs great risks in the course of the story. How many women who take pride

in their furs realize what It costs in human endeavor and peril to obtain them? Not one in a hundred. Surely, there are things worth knowing. They are shown with vital force, and incidental to a most fascinating romance, in "The Wilderness Trail," a William

j Fox photoplay of a hundred thrills, in which Tom Mix is the star, and which opened at the Murrette today.
