thought; others might have disputed

life had been indifferent to female
charm. ,
This girl, who was unlike any other
girl Barrle had known, turned upon
him frownlngly, and bade him, as one
man to another:
"Keep Still or you'll spoil my bite."
Barrle kept still, until the struggle
between the fish, which was large, and
the girl, who was small, threatened to
to throw both Into the river. Then
Barrle came forward masterfully, and
possessing the rod, triumphantly land-
ed the fish.
At which, the girl, whose moods
were strangely surprising, begged Bar-
rta to remove the hook and set the
poor flah free.
"You see," she naively explained, "I
never really expected to catch him."
"Better take him home for dinner,"
Barrle suggested.
'Tm staying at the Inn," the girl ob-
jected, "so 1 have no use for him
there."
"I'll keep the fish myself, then,"
Barrie said decidedly, "to add to my
day'a sport."

lowing him later to rebalt her hook.

The county na« one con
vict camp employing one super-
intendent and four guards. The
expense of operating this camp,
as furnished by the auditor's of-
fice, covering the months of
September, October and No-
vember, 1919, was $2,190.51. On
Sept. 1 there were thirteen con-
victs in the camp, on Oct. 1 nine
and on Nov. 1 six, making an
average of nine convicts in this
camp on the first of each month.
There is a jail at the county
farm where prisoners could be
quartered at night; the only
cost that the county would be
put to would be the feeding of
prisoners and the employing of
two guards. This would enable
the county to save the salary of
the present superintendent of
convicts and two guards. We
urge that this matter be given
careful consideration.
We believe that delinquency
among juveniles, both girls and
boys, is on the increase. In our
judgnnMit the fault lies primarily
with the parents. There seems
to be a tendency the country
fthe country over to "spare the
rod and spoil the child." We are
confronted with the spectacle of
school children going on strikes
and dictating to their teachers
what they will and will not do.
Such a situation, in our judg
tnent is most serious, for the
boys and girls of today and the
men and women of tomorrow.
While we have not had any
such strikes in Dallas county, we
do find conditions that woultj
startle a large majority of our
people if they were familiar with
them. Large numbers of girls
and boys, even as young as
from eleven to fourteen years
of age, are going wrong morally.
Boys by the score make a habit
of loitering around suburban
stores and various other places
in Dallas county and indulge in
gambling continually. We felt
that we must call attention of
our county and city officials to
such .conditions and urge them
to be most zealous in their ef-
forts to control this tendency to
delinquency amng children. We
are much pleased to note the
fact that under the recent new
juvenile law, our juvenile of-
ficers have accomplished and are
now accomplishing much good
and are rendering splendid serv-
ice for the benefit of the juve*
