T, U. at Ring wood, on February 18, an original paper entitled "How to Obtain Loving and Ready Obedience of Chil­ dren" was read by Mrs. Elizabeth Web­ ster. We have been requested, by a unanimous vote of the society, to pub­ lish the paper, and do so with the great­ est pleasure. It is well written and should be read by ever£ mother who is fortunate enough to secure a copy. The following production from Mrs Webster's pen shows that she has given the matter much careful thought: It seems to me that this in reality Is a question of parent training, quite as much as of child training. For it is not easy, if indeed it is possible, to cure children of those faults which we our selves possess. Hence the parental method of child culture must invari ably have its beginning in self in order to be successful. It is a trnth that in EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES.

This rule does not always hold good, of course; indeed, 1 have known children, who bore no re semblance in either their moral or phys ical nature to neither parents nor ances­ tors, and who seem to set all the laws of heredity at open defiance. Parents unfortunately do not seem to reulize that children are born imitators, an I it is true that they are more likely to copy undesirable traits than admirable ones. Hence, parents fail to exercise in the home circle that perfect self control hich should form a part of every par­ ent's personal equipment. The world may not always form its judgment cor rectly or even sensibly, but. the fact re­ main < that wben a child displays a bad temper or.a piece of bad manners the world or the neighbors decide that he is but following the example set him by his parents, and score the latter accord­ ingly. Hence, parents must learn to govern themselves, for unless tney can do so they can not expect to govern their children. The home training of children falls mostly upon the mothers, and it has been truly said that "the mothers of today rule the world of to­ morrow;" and the mother will learn that without self control it is useless to try to tc*in any real control of a child, for your mood will be reflected in the child. If children acquire self control it more often is from necessity than by force of example, for with a mother who is simply an animated bundle of nerv-* and a father who controls his tempeV everywhere but in his own home it is useless to expect much vise in their children. Sometimes when mothers are out of temper they are wont to ex ense themselves on the ground of nerv ousnesg. but they are not willing to al low their children the same indulgence. Mothers, would you win the love and obedience of your children Y Then learn to govern yourselves, for there is noth ing that will so inspire children with reverence for their mother s the feel ing that she is equal to every emergency The mother's influence is far reaching, aud it is not by your words alone but it is as often by your example. A refined, intelligent mother who is the same in her everydav life as when entertaining her most agreeable or fsshionaMe friend is surely a pleasure and a blessing ti­ ller children Her loving and perfect manners ni.ike an impression on her childreu which they never can forget, her rough and noisy boys immediateh quiet down beneath her pleasant smile and dignified presence. Children raif-ed by such a iu<>ther uee i not be as;red a secoud time, nor punished, to obtain their loving and ready obedieuce. Mothers, get into the habit of having little talks wilh yonr childreu and try to gain their confidence. . Mske your childreu to understand that you. of all the world, are their wisest, best aud most sympathetic friend. To this end. wh.-n a child is in a soltened m<>od, talk with him seriousiy of hi-* faults, telling him how necessary it is .for him to over­ come them, aud showing him that this is why you must at times reprove or pun ish him Let him see very plainly that it hnrts you to iuflict punishment on him and that he mast learn to obey without it. Teach him that he must obey because it is right, teach him td appeal to his conscience, and not to what others will say or for the hope of reward. When he asks "Why must I obey my parentst" "Why must I tell the truth?" "Why must I be thoughtful of others?" the answer should be very prompt and decisive, "Because it is right." The habit formed in childhood of being guided in any course of action by this motive will surely be < safeguard in later years when the temptations of lifeconfrout him. Many kind, devoted, self-sacrificing mothers find the result of their children's bringing up very un­ satisfactory. Their complaint is that they have given up everything for their children, granted every wish and in­ dulged every whim, and yet they have grown up to be anything but helps and blessings There is just where the trouble lies. Let the children sacrifice something for the mother, Bave her steps and help her all they can in little things.

Small [Con tinned on page eight. J The scarcity of farm hands which has been pronounced in central Illinois as well as in other sections of this and ad joining states, will likely also be ex­ perienced during the spring work, ac­ cording to the views of farmers of this vicinity. The dearth of farm hands last fall seriously interfered with the prompt gathering of the corn crop and delayed the collectiou of statistics con­ cerning the amount of the crop Not only will the men be scarce this year, but the farmers fear that tbey will have great difficulty in planting their crops. The shortage is said to be due largely to the spread of the internrban railroads and the accompanying work of con­ struction, enabling the farm hand to be more independent The farmer boy continues to prefer life in the city even under cdnditions that are not nearly as good as he has enjoyed on tbe farm, and large numbers of the sons of farm­ ers and tbe men who usually work on the farm are found in the gangs of sec­ tion men employed on the numerous interurbans. LEI TER FROM WASHINGTON. Barry K Elrtmlge Tell» of the Climate and Other Advnutage*. Amborn, Washington. Feb. 11, 1904. EDITOR PLAINDEALEK, Dear Sir:--I notice by The Plaindenl- er, which I get on Monday after publi­ cation, thai you are having the coldest winter for some years. 1 am very hap­ py to say that we are getting the weath­ er dished out to us at from 20 to t»0 above, with the mercury close to 40 most of the time. I noticed some time back the item about my old schoolmate, Chas. Nordquist, at Portland, Ore,, and can say I did almost the same thing here, as I saw roses in bloom here as late as January 10, 1904. On Jauuary &41, in company with the pan operator here, went out about two miles to a very pretty little lake, which is located down between two hills, aud all hidden by very heavy timber. While there I gathered several very pretty specimen^ of fern aud sent them back East to show the difference of climate between this and Illinois at the present time. Here the people raise much larger orope than in Illinois and the ranchers, as they are called here, can take care of as many cows the year around on 20 acres as the average farmer does on 80 in Illinois. Since coming out here I have gained 2u pounds and still think I have room for more. The feed a fellow gets here is great, and 'tis no wonder that one gains in flesh, "for every one of the Eastern ers coming to this plant has gained." We have all kiuds, nearly, of salt water fish, with wild game and the best fruit and vegetables. Just think of having fresh halibut steak or salmon steak, fresh oysters or smelts, venison or trout. I am enclosing a clipping from the Seattle Times of February 6, which will tell you of the prosperity of this village Hoping that McHenry may do as well in the year to come, and with tbe best of wishes to all. I am, very truly, HARRY F. ELDREDGE. In the clipping referred to a review is given of the improvements made in Amborn during the past year. It speaks of the Borden Condensed Milk com pany's plant as bemg the largest west of the Mississippi. FUN FOR ALL. THE MONTHLY REPORT. SHOWING RANK THREE OF HIGHEST IN EACH GRADE.

Those who failed to attend the enter­ tainment at Stoffel's hall last Friday and Saturday evenings, given under the auspices of the Universalist society, are short two hours of fun and laughter. It was a success from tbe time the enr- tain raised to the last number on tbe program and the audience was kept in a good humor at all times. The hall was well filled on both evenings and tbe net receipts quite satisfactory. The farce-comedy, "A Box of Monk eys," was highly entertaining. Mrs. S. S. Chapell, as the awkward and thor oughly American western girl, captured the audience from the start. At no time was she at a loss in interpreting tbe role. Dr. H. F. Beebe kept the au­ dience in an uproar with his antics as tbe bashful suitor, while F. C.

Those who speut the afternoon there will long remember the day. Everyone seemed bent on having a good time, es pecially Mr. Marquardt.
