Have you studied your boy's chum?
It may be almost as necesary at a

stronger or weaker of purpoie and
character than your boy? If stronger
alt the mora reason for you to know
his real character for he is sure to im-
press his personality upon your sun as
tint strenRth overcome weakness.
The boy rarely develops habits or
traits of character auriired Irom mere
chance acquaintance or from utter
trappers. It is from his intimates
that he absorbs ideas that become
tlted in the mind and develop the char-
acter. Hence the Imperative neces-
sity that those Intimates be of the
dpli t character
Some think 1Mb a risky business to
attempt to regulate n son's friendships.
Admittedly so yet you have it in your
power to in a very large degree control
the matter.
Every normal boy hai great respect
for his father provided that father is
deserving of his respect. The first step
therefore Is to secure and deserve the
boy's confidence. This accomplished
a little tactful consideration on your
part together with a personal Interest
In hie every day life ought to give you
control of the situation.
But the surest way to control the
matter is to constitute yourself the
boy' chum. This can be done If the
matter is taken in hand early in the
boy's life.
To every young boy his father Is a
model of perfection. His llrxt boyish
ambition is to Imitate his father. If
Mint father is deserving ot Imitation
and will cultivate his boy's confidence
the problem is solved.
Every father should seek first place
In his boy's confidence. He should
make certain that h stands higher In
the boj's regard than all others. And
as the years pass he should see to It
that the bond Is strengthened instead
of weakened. But this can only b-
done by fully entering into the life ot
the boy and by making his life your
life.
It will pay better than any other in
vestment you can make.
All that has been said of the boy and
his father is equally true of the girl
and her mother. Fathers and mothers
be yourboy or girl's chum.

factories for sorting and bleaching the
bristles piercing tho bono handles and
preparing them for the peasants to
llll with bristles.
It la In the valley of the Olse too
that the peasants wbo fasten the bris-
tles In our handmade toothbrushes
live. AH through that valley the red-
tiled stone cottages of the peasants
sheltered girls and old women who
made toothbrushes during every spare
minute of the day. Twelve cents a
doien wm the price paid for tho work
when the American Importers went
Into the toothbrush business In
France. They contracted for a largo'
part of the output of the French' fac-
tories and raised the price paid to
tho bristle workers to fifteen or even
eighteen cents a dozen.
The price of good bristles has
doubled and trebled since the Euro-
pean war broke out. All toothbrush
brtatlen come from Russia and China.
The best grades are the Russian and
the best of the Russian bristles grow
In winter on a sort of half-wild boar
that Is native to the Russian steppes.
The boars rub on the forest trees and
shed their bristles. These the peas-
ants collect at certain seasons of tho
year. Every hog that is slaughtered
for food Is carefully shorn of Its
bristles. The bristles are seven or
eight Inches long and very thick at
the base. Inferior brUtles used In
Japanese brushes come from China
where tho winters are not so cold and
the bristles do not grow so stiff.
Since fighting began In Europe .the
Russian people have been too poor to
eat meat. And there la no time to
save the bristles from hogs killed to
feed the soldiers. The Hebrew ped-
dlers who went through tho Russian
country exchanging tinware and house
hold utilities with the peasants for
these bristles have stopped their trips.
Oood bristles coat ten dollars n pound
now and they will go still higher.

THE ROADS OF 1917.
It will be but a short time now until
the rigors and storms of winter wilt
be past and the problems of a new year
will be before us for solution
Ofie of the most important of these
probh ins will be ''What of ourcoun
irv roads In 1017?"
The year I9lfl witnesed the greatest
impetus to road building that has ever
been known in our history Govern-
ment -late county and municipality
all awoke and attacked the problem
-. i t Ii rlgir and the results were most
gratifying '
But there was the prist year another
element in the solution of the good
roads problem that heretofore had
been lacking that of community co-
operation. In many parts of the conn-1
ty the Importunities of the good roads j
advocate had their effect and the
PKOPLE awoke to the fact that the
roads were Til KI H roads and that
THEY were Indlvidvally responsible
for their maintenance. And this was
just the added force netdtd to give
to the movemcui an impetus that mail-
ing could stop.
It is this feature of (Community co-
operation that must be tottered if our
roads are to be made what we would
have them Each and every citizen
must be fully aroused to HIS responsi-
bilitynot merely to pay his taxes
and give bis few days work each year
but to shoulder his full share of re-
sponsibility and never let up until ev-
ery road in his community it a OOOI)
road.
Many communities have worked up
a sentiment that each and every citi-
zen shall Rive one day out of each
month to voluntary labor on the roads
This is an auxiliary to all other road
working facilities. And the plan as
carried out In these communities has
worked splendid results in the im-
provement of the highways
If all communities will organize on
this plan work it up to a maximum of
etllclency. and keep the enthusiasm at
white bent it will tie only a short tune
until they awake to the fact that their
road problem has been solved.

TO BUILD IMMENSE FLEET
Pacific Coast Capitalists Will Go Into
the Business on a Scale That
Is Glqantlc.
Plans for the construction of a Brent
number of wooden vessels for ocean
and river traffic on the west coast have
been made public. Robert Veltch of'
Portland. Ore. announced that ship-
building on a gigantic scale Is to bo-
gin as soon as a group of Washington
and Oregon state capitalists complete
the erection ot a mammoth shipbuild
ing plant nt Portland. Eastern men
were backing the enterprise which Is
being managed by men ot Portland
Spokane Seattle and other cities of
that vicinity.
"Thoy have completed tho organiza-
tion of a corporation that Is to cngago
in the business on a glgnntlc scale"
Mr. Veltch said. "One attractlvo tea-
turo about the enterprise Is that our
market Is assured and It will be as-
sured for many years.
