HAPPY SURROUNDINGS IN HOME ARE NEEDED TO DEVELOP CHILDREN
Circuit Court
(By Associated Press) ST. PAUL, Minn.. Oct. 2. The fu
ture happiness of the child depends upon the careful selection and supervision of the home a homo with congenial atmosphere, an opportunity for development of talent, love and surroundings that Mill make the matured
child an asset to his community, declared J. J. Kelso, of Toronto Canada, in an address today before the convention of the American Humane as sociation. , ". "The supreme Importance of the state row is universally recognized," the speaker, stated, "But we must constantly seek the higher type of home, ' free from dissention and unhappiness if the dependent child, particularly, is to be saved from the cruelty and neglect of childhood. Societies and workers trained in this endeavor, gradually are succeeding and more rational methods of training are being applied. Must Safe Guard Children.
"While we are progressing, no pril-
anthroplc society should rest until
each individual child is fully safeguarded. Homes should be carefully
investigated; children amply provided
with clothing; periodical visits made, and when beyond school age and can give assistance to the home, a savings account should be insisted upon, taken
out in the name of a responsible society. Children who are unhappy in their homes should be removed. As the child advances toward maturity, advice and assistance should be given to assure a suitable living." Summarizing the achievements of the system employed in the Province of Ontario, Mr. Kelso said that more than 12,000 children, by reaching years of maturity, passed from the care of the society, while at present it was caring for about 8,000 children. For these children $82,525 in savings from wages 13 held in trust, with interest payable when conditions warrant. From three to five hundred children will ba legally adopted each year under a recent advanced adoption law.

TWELVE BULGARIAN MINISTERS IN JAIL
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 2. Twelve former premiers and government ministers now are in jail where they are being held in expectation of the adoption of a referendum in which the people will vote whether they were guilty or not guilty of embroiling Bulgaria in Well. The chief prosecutor sought release of the prisoners on the ground that there was no court action against them
and that they were entitled to immunity as members of the chamber of deputies but the police refused to liberate them.
In the roundup which took place last Tuesday the police were aided by peasants who guarded every avenue of escape from the city while the arrests were made. Most of the ministers had been guarded day and night in their homes and their capture was effected with ease.
(By Associated Press) NEW ORLEANS. La., Oct. 2. Declaring that the attempt to supplant the middleman in the grain industry has failed. Charles Quinn, of Toledo, today told the annual convention of the Grain Growers' National association that future success of co-operative movements will be attained "by
evolution and not by revolution." Mr. Quinn, secretary-treasurer of the association, said relief from the present ills of the producer "can come
-only from a sane policy.'
"It must be apparent even to the leaders," he declared, "that economic laws can not be ignored. If progress is made in co-operation, that progress must be by evolution and not by revolution. Failure of the co-operative movement in grain was due not only to the inherent weakness of the scheme proposed and unqualified leadership, but also to general conditions The middleman had nothing to do with the plight of the grain producer. The whole world was suffering.
Try to Get Control. "Canadian farmers this year tried to re-establish compulsory wheat control through a wheat board similar to the one employed during the war. In the United States there is an attemrt to maintain or raise the level
of prices by a system of credits which will make it easier for producers to
i.ecure cash advances before the sale of their grain. Both plans will fail. There is a big exportable surplus that must be disposed of on a world level; a surplus will always control the price of the grain that is sold for domestic consumption." The sneaker said that "not much
lias been accomplished by the agricultural bloc," but the danger is by no means over, for "the whole tendency
of government at Washington is pa
ternalistic.
The annual report placed the number of direct, associate and affiliated members at 4,145, declared 110 trade disDutes had been arbitrated by the
association during the year and that
18 members had been expelled for failure to arbitrate or abide by arbi
tration. Its finances were reported in
good condition.
What happens when one, in the throes of anger, mails a letter for which he would give a kingdom if he only had it back when the process of returning to the normal state of mind has taken place? And what about the fellow who fearing he will lose a sale writes his customer he will knock off a hundred
dollars and then receives a letter
from said customer tnat he will take
the article at the price first named? I Well, up to the present, it seems ! there has been no provision made for these two classes of unfortunates, but according to recent information the postoffice department at Washington has undergone a change of heart, perhaps some of their own employes having tasted the bitterness of the experience, and the result is several good chances to reclaim such hastily
posted epistles.
Your mail may be stopped before delivery: If ample proof can be submitted to the postal authorities that the person seeking to have the letter withdrawn was the writer. If your description of the letter tallies accurately with the letter when it Is found.
If the handwriting you submit as proof is identical with the handwriting
on the letter. Go Even Further The ruling is said to go even further.
In cases of emergency, it permits postmasters to telegraph railway mail
clerks instructions to fish out letters
from mail pouches In the course of delivery and return them to the post office where they were postmarked.
Even though these rulings are reported to be recent, Postmaster Beck
and Superintendent of Mails Foreman
quote cases where they have found it
much more convenient to telegraph
the postmaster at the town designated
as the designation of the mail, asking that delivery of same be stopped and
the mail returned to this city. Obvl
ously this Is much less confusing than putting a train mail clerk to the work
of ransacking through mail in transit
Of course, in any case, the oae wishing the mail stopped must pay for the
telegram giving the order, but the mes
sage Is sent in the name of the local
postmaster.

ACCIDENTS INCREASE DESPITE CAMPAIGN
In spite of the most extensive educational campaign against railroad
highway crossing accidents ever car
ried on. figures just compiled by me
Insurance department of the Pennsyl
vania railroad system show tnat in June, July and August, of this year, such casualties increased 30 per cent, as compared with last season, according to an announcement from the local office. The period covered embraces the ; first three months of the "National Careful Crossing Campaign." in which railroads of the United States have joined in efforts to make plain the deDlorable Tesults of carelessness. Dur
ing the three months on the Pennsyl-1
vanla System alone, there were mi crossing -accidents, in which 71 per- , sons were killed and 115 injured. That this year's large increase in these casualties is charged almost entirely to growth in the reckless and inexperienced driving of automobiles, is shown by the fact that casualties at
hiehwav crossings from all other
causes combined decreased.

POLICE SEEK SENDER
OF 'DEATH MESSAGES'
(By United Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 2. Police today sought a "death message" fakir. Seven Columbus families in the last two weeks have received telephone messages that members of their families have died and police believe some mysterious man with a mania fr starting death alarms is responsible for all seven messages, MriT Thomas Radcliffe lay prostrated today as a result of the shocking news that her husband had been
drowned.
Mrs. Charles P. Radcliffe received
similar "information" at about the same time. Both telephone messages were untrue.
Several days ago Mrs. A. C. Baxter,
wife of the chief state game warden was called to the telephone and told
that her husband had been killed m an
automobile accident. A few hours later Baxter came home to deny the re-
Four other persons nave received
death messages from the mysterious maniac. He seems to know intimate details of the whereabouts of the men he reports dead, police said. Author
ities announced they would leave no stone unturned to apprehend the man
who has telephoned the various fam

deputy sheriff and in other cases as a
friend of the man he reports dead.
Police fear some more serious re
sults may come from the fakir's activ
ities unless he is found immediately.

JAY COUNTY PAIR
GET FIRST LICENSE; CAN'T USE IT NOW
(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 2. Corn grits contributed by western and midwestern farmers are used as money to buy needed supplies for Armenian sufferers, according to Alonza Wilson, national director of the Near East Relief. Mr. Wilson has just returned
from a tour which included Armenia
and Southern Russia.
"Corn grits are used principally in
original form to feed the starving, but what can be spared is used to buy other things, such as meat," Mr. Wil
son explained. "Corn grits fetch two cents a pound and haye supplanted rubles in Armenia as the accepted cur
rency. Fifteen hundred carloads, carried to the American seaboard gratis by the railroads, have been shipped to Armenia since last October "The Armenian government controlled by the, Moscow government has granted property worth $60,1)00,000 to the Near East Relief for five years; 60,000 'acres and 175 buildings, which
are used in institutional work. The Near East Relief maintains shops employing 129,000 adults who are paid
in corn grits. Saved by America
I have seen children well cared for who would be dead but for American
philanthropy. Children are given half a day of schooling, and are employed
half a day in lace making or similar
industries. Boys from American agri
cultural schools are teaching modern
methods of farming. Seed has been
given 10,000 fanners to be returned out
of their produce.
"Because work-oxen were destroyed during the war, much fertile land re
mains uncultivated. Armenia will con
tinue to need aid. Seventy-five thousand children must continue to receive
care for several years or they will be
come outlaws. As many more children
are outside our institutions and un-
cared for."
