people at large. It may be that these
methods are good and doubtless they
are as far as they go, but they do not
strike at the root of the evil.
Infantile deliquency boiled down and
reduced to its last analysis, spells
parental inefficiency and suggests the
remedy. Punishment is visited upon
the delinquents and none upon those
who are resunsible. They continue to
go their way in peace and perhaps in
happiness realizing that they are in no
danger of punishment for failure to
perform the most important duty which
has ever fallen upon them.

CORN AND THE FLOODS
Vast Tracts May Not be
Ready to Cultivate in
Time for a Crop.
(From The Wall Street JournaL)
Owing to the unprecedented high
water an immense amount of com land
has been flooded, and it will be over a
month before farmers will be able to
get into the fields. On the bottom
lands of the Ohio and Wabash Rivers
it will be next to impossible to g^t tbe
land ready for planting in time to make
a crop. Some of the best corn land in
the country is now twenty feet under
water and general discouragement
prevails among faamers who have lost
immense amount of cribbed com from
the overflow. It is conservatively es
timated by people in a position to know
that over 1,000,000 bushels of corn was
destroyed between Henderson and
Shaweetown, 111. The flood, however,
has resulted in a marked increase In
offerings from sections least affected,
as boats can go far inland for the
grain.
Atil'f My Brothers Keeper?
“Am I my brothers keeper” spoken
in answer to a question from God at
the worlds earliest dawn, has come
ringing down the ages, echoing through
the corridors of time to the present
day. Itjias furnished text and pretext
for sermon. speer*h, and peroration.
Am I my brothers keeper yes, no, yes
if you are moved and controled by
those higher impulses that help make
the brotherhood of man, and the father
hood God. Yes if you are willing to
drown self ambition into the sea of
sordid unconscious immolation, yes if
you are willing to sh^re your brothers
burdens* and holp him to a higher plane
of life, to a better conccptiwi of what
is here, ar»d the hope for hereafter, no
if th i little existance you call Kfe
begins in a selfish circle around the
cradle in which you begin life and
ends in an oblong trench at the grave.
No if you do not know or care wfcat
becomes of the world if you can but
walk thtough life without want, and all
ways feel that fortunes most luxorious
robes await your call.
' To realize that you are but one in a
great family of brothers, and that the
highest and best heart trainiiing is when
you feel for every pain and are
anxious to relieve every sufferer whose
wail reaches your ear, in a measure
approaches that standard of gentleness
of heart, and holliness of life, that
I makes your brother safe within your
I keeping.
