$ A Word of Praise. **
at . . , -
By MRS. NESTOR NOEL
"How badly yon weeded the gar
den,” remarked a mother to her
young boy, one day.
The boy, John, looked ashamed, as
I had just entered the garden.
"I’ve done all that lot,” he said
pointing to a well-weeded bed. ”1
can't do it all in one day.” He
threw down his hoe and went sulk
tng into the house.
“It’s always like that,” remarked
his mother to me. ‘‘He can't finish
what he begins.”
‘‘Perhaps you give him too much
to do at a time," I ventured. “He
seems to have done that bed of pan
sies beautifully, and it Ib very hot
today.”
“So it is," said the-mother. ‘‘Come
on to the porch and we’ll have some
iced lemonade. It isn’t fit for a dog'
to be outsides See how lazy Kollo
is. He doesn't even get up to wel-;
come you.”
The dog wagged hs tail lazily, but
did not move.
Tes! It was not a day on which
a dog could ho expected to exert
himself; yet this woman had ex
pected a boy to do a man's job.
When I expostulated'with her mildly, i
she remarked. "A boy must do
something or he will only get into
mischief.”
I have often seen women of tills |
type and pity their sons. This
woman was cross with her boy for
what he had not done, yet never
gave him one word of praise for
the beautiful bed of pansies which
he left as perfect as an experienced
gardener might, have done.

HARDING MAKES
, PLAIN TALK ON
R. R. PROBLEMS
Small Number of Systems Are
Justifiable Says Hard
ing in Speech.
(OoDttnueti *Tom rage one.)
Referring to the decision of the
Railroad Labor Board, the President
raid:
“I am frank to say I do not hope
for compliance on the part of em
ployees so long as decisions are
ignored by managers."
The President attributed the de
lay in the consolidation system as
authorized by Congress to the diffi
culty of reconciling the interest of
lines to be merged and said he ex
pected legislation to "further ampli
fy iprovieions for consolidation so as
to stimulate consummation.”
This '.natter, the President said,
■will be 'brought before the next ses
sion of Congress
President Harding declared that
there are many email roads vital to
considerable towns and large areas
Which cannot live on the present
revenues, adding “the government
must find a way to avoid confisca
tion. avoid starvation, maintain serv
ice and a proper return upon the
capital.”
Workmen's Rights.
Discusing the relations of the
roads and employees he said he did
not believe it possible “under our
form of government to compel em
ployees to woTk against their will
and I do not think it advisable
under any form of government."
President Harding advocated en
couragement of the use of water
ways employing them in a co-ordi
nated service.
The President departed from his
written text in the midst of his ex
planation of the railroad consolida
tion plan to say:
"1 have been warned against mak
ing ruch a speech as this in Kansas
Ctty.”
Applause followed his statement
concerning making men work against
their will.
Gets Sunburned.
0 His voice teemed fresher and
'more vigorous than when he deliv
Jred his speech in St. Louis Thurs
ay night.
Yesterday afternoon President
Harding cancelled his trips to Swope
Park to present medals to the Hoy
Scohts and to the United States Vet
erans' hospitals as a result of the
severe sunburn contracted in a 16
mile ride about Kansas City. His
lips were badly swollen. So warm
was the weather that the President
cancelled his scheduled game of golf
and rested.
.TALKS OH AGRICULTURE.
HUTCHINSON, June 23.—Prert
dent Harding brought to the agri
cultural Middle West a message of
Optimism with the prediction that
•the worst of the poet-war depression
has passed and a gradual improve
ment may be reasonably expected
In an address delivered this after
— Anon devoted to* discussion of the
Agricultural situation. He reviewed
(be measures taken by the Govern
■wnt to aid farmers, placing the
mdbt importance on farm credits
Mglaiatur* of last year and said: |
“*T cd&TSaa frank pride in Ural
children and I have invariably dis
covered that a word of praise will
bring out the best that Is in them
and induce them to greater efforts.
Why not let them have this, little
word? It costs us nothing.
In looking over a child’s work, why
not notice the good qualities about
it, as well as the bad? For instance,
that mother might have said: "How
well you have done that pansy bed.
It’s hot now. Suppose you rest, and
finish the other part later on." The
boy would have welcomed the word
of praise, especially in front of a
stranger and he would have worked
twice as hard in the cool of the
evening, until the rest of the gar
den was as good as the first part.
In his own home, a boy is often
set to work with no word of en
couragement and nothing to reduce
the drudgery of his home tasks.
Even filling the wood box, the
boy's daily job, could be made less
Irksome. A boy often says, "I’m
forever filling that box,” but a moth
er could change his point of view
and make It a pleasant job if she
made the boy realize that she needed
the wood to cook good things for
him.
1 do not believe in paying a child
for every bit of work he does, be
cause he must bear his share in
the household: but I believe the kind
word of appreciation should be given
more often than it is. We do not
have to open our purses to givq It.
Why then are mothers so chary of
this little word of praise when it
brings such good results.
Government's part bettering the
situation against which you justly
complained and which all people of
the nation deplored. Co-operation
‘of all government agenoies and with
them oo-operation of the fine forces
| of leadership which the Nations
Farm organizations have devcdopec
made It possible to secure the meas
uro of helpful results which is es
pecially gratifying. Moreover i'
found prompt reflection in an im
proved status in every agricultural
concern. We have been Inform**
that owing to the improved condl
tlone, farm products of the country
last year were worth 12.000,000,00C
more than the preceding year."

“When one is innoculated with
the pioneer spirit,” said Mr. Shipp,
"he likes to be on the frontier.”
The pioneer spirit took Mr. Shipp
to Wyoming eighteen years ago from
Washington, D. C„ where he had
been practicing law for twelve years.
He located iit Casper and saw that
eattlo town grow from less than
1,000 population into a city of 30,
000, the largest by far in the State.
The phenomenal growth was due to
the development of the Wyoming oil
fields by the Standard Oil and Texas
Oil Companies.
Mr. Shipp was a printer in his
youth, and still carries the card of
the International Typographical Un
ion. He learned his trade in Soiith
, ern Illinois, and was working at it
i in Arkansas when he was married.
He then decided to study law and
went to Washington, D. C., and work
ed as a printer until he was grad
uated in law by Georgetown Uni
versity He was working at his
1 trade on the Washington Post when
Oov. Scott C. Bone was managing
(editor of that paper,
j Mr. Shipp is author of two vol
j times of poems, which earned for him
the “Wyoming Poet” title, “Inter
mountain Folk Songs, Their Days
and Their Ways,” and “Rangeland
Melodies.”
Mrs. Shipp is a prominent Wyom
ing Club woman and Daughter of
the American Revolution;
“I have optical indigestion from
the grandeur of Alaskan scenery,”
said Mr. Shipp. “It’s n wonderful
country and settled by a wonderful
people. I want to come back and
spend about three years, studying
the country and its people."
Mr. and Mrs. Shipp are staying
at the Gastineau Hotel. They will
sail for Skagway on the Queen.

tion. it was stated, and the work
should not occupy more than ten
days or two weeks.
The work will be done>by the crew

week and start at once on the Tur
ner Lake project.
The lake is considered one of the
minor water power projects undev
oped in this district. It’ ts also one
of the premier fishing places in the
vicinity. Owing to the lack of a

of the most popular outing spots Tot
local pedple.
