OAlSFOIlU, Jll -EDITOU THE BOOTLEGGERS 1 8 0 9 The eoncensHH of opinion with. thoughtful and observing men and women is, that a firmer hand will have to take hold of the bootlegger. Ho is resorting to the same tactics of the old-time Raloon keeper, who cultivated the appetite of the youth sa that his supply of eustomers would not become exhausted in time. This greed- of the saloon keeper for the youth of the land had more-to do with, wiping (Hit of the saloon than any other agency. Not all of the saloon keepers were guilting or this practice, neither are all bootleggers trying to contaminate contami-nate youth; but those who are guilty are uniting men and women of liberal nunds around the idea of strict law enforcement and the pun-' pun-' ishment of the bootleetrer. There are men who like to take their drink on the isde; hi is not strange for they were reared in a day when W "the torewery -was a. legitimate industry and the saloon a -commercial X house just as other business houses. A generation ago the liquor traffic was differently regarded from now. Today the mind revolts against a drunken youth. This revolt is earnest because it is under mining manhood. , SO- m f )' I I mi. rm n i, 1 8 6 5 CRITICISING THE PREACHER .T i.it. i . .1 .1 "IT no man nas naruer neonie to serve man tne minister ot tne gospel. His critics are many, and the criticisms varied. A Texas paper comments as follows : "The preacher has a great time. If his hair is gray, he is old. If he is a young man, he hasn't had experience. If he has ten children he has too many: if he has none, he isn't a rood example. If his wife sings in the choir, she is presuming; if she doe n't she isn't interetsed in her husband's work. If a preacher reads -frwn notes,- h-i -a Ibore-f if -hfr speaks-extern porneou&lyr. he- in-'t deepj!f enough. It he stays at home in his study he doesn't mix enough with the people : if he has been seen around the streets, he oujrht to be home . - . getting up a good sermon. If he calls on some poor family, he is playing to the grandstand j if he calls at the home of the wealthy, he is G an, aristocrat. Whatever he does, someone-could have told him to do better." H RADIO AND FARM Abraham Lincoln nnn His mother was very dear to him but she died when he was 10. When he was 23 he ran for the legislature but the other fellow got elected. As a young man he entered business and failed, spending many years in paying his debts. .- He fell in love with a beautiful girl but she died. He ran for congress but was defeated. As a candidate for the vice-presidency in 1856 he was disappointed. He tried again for the senate but his opponent was elected- and I "so "If welolt." One failure after another but he never gave up. He perse vered and finally won the highest position possible in America. The failures of Lincoln should inspire all of us with courage to try again. Outline Ten Fundamentals .

In fact, the world comes and, goes in a marvelous wav over the radio And the lonesomeness of the farm has been vanquished. Instead of Demg isolated ana apart after the sun goes down, the country home if at once in touch with the world, through the air. That is the "Dream realized, and the question answered."

His Honor probably would agree with many others that there had been a dearth of slipper applications fi earner in me game. A California girl shot her mother to death for chiding her on going out at night. A little chiding with a slipper a few years ago would probably have made a difference. iThe Banh of American Fork I 83 Years Successful Banking A STRONG BANK way.

" The following ten. fundamental principles of moral and religious education were laid' down by Dr. H. if. Woodward to the departmetat of religious education at the Leadership weelt Program: "1. In order to make religious education effective w must know definitely what we are sefeklag 1 to develop. We must have a vivid pic. turd of the ' specific attitude and habits which we expect to character, lie the religious . life we1 seek to build. "2. Religion as far as conduct is concerned must be a development in the mind, . nervous system and muscles of the child. In other words the religious life 'must become easy to ihd child because It is his principle princi-ple mode of daily expression. To be successful in this it la very import. ant to concentrate on a few out standing habits and characteristics and to keep these definitely In mind in all of our preparation and presentation. "3. The religious person is not merely good, but good for some, thing; therefore, as much as pos. tble, the , attention should be taken from self and put upon the service for others. ... ' j "Prayer, as taught to many call. dren, tends to develop sdlflshness; while on the other hand, if properly taught, it is the most powerful in. ttrument for developing altruism The child must gradually come to be concerned with the good ot "The Kingdom," because only by losing his life can he find it again. 4". The environment of the child in home and in church should be so fHjyjtAS?111 Puttee Pu-ttee In the religious conduct desired. '5. The likes, the desires, the long. tag, the lavee, are the principal springs to conduct Therefore, build up specific dislikes and even hatred for certain ugly conduct; also buUd up strong prejudices In favor of clean. courageous and noble conduct. 6. The religious conduct of a child will go surely in the1 direction of its dominant taagery; therefore, -the one thing to keep constantly tn mind is that the child's mind should be'filled with, an abundance of religious ima. gery. The chUd who does not re. ceive at an early date the many beautiful Bible stories and stories ot religious experiences of good men In all times, has missed much of the material which would determine hit religious conduct his mind moves in its images; therefore, make the image of the type of Hfe you desire the child to have. 7. During the early years reduce self.consclousness in religious habits to a minimum. Make certain specific religious habits as automatic as pos. slble. "8 living the" proper rellgtous life is a difficult Aask, the sign of mastery Joy in the the. performance. A good character is full of Joy and of harmony both within and without. I. The' child that has not received the best traditional experiences ot religious Uvea has lost an important foundation to right conduct. The en. tire religions life of humanity con. ititutes a real organism with Its fruit ever growing out of the past ChIL dren need to live over again the religious re-ligious myths, poetry, drama and customi of the past': 1 -"10.
