INTERESTED IN I HE BOYS.
It is encouraging ti those interested in the future welrai
the city to know that some attention t- the h question is proii
by as representative a body oi men a- the Kotan club I he iiies
is one which has many angles and in fact is a tl zen ijucsttuns c
billed in iiic. It is si comprehensive and important that man) i
no larger than Ottawa are paying gotxl salaries to bright me
tackle it in its various phases, and the men who make good
do things with the boys and interest them in the better wa;
living and conducting themselves are in big demand. In tact,
a hard matter for the average small town to hold on to a man
iias shown an aptitude and capability to handle boys. Ihe la
and wealthier communities grab them.
One crying need of the town is some provision for
en unds in the wanner months, and an opportunity lor hoys

without breaking the laws. With Ottawa surrounded with m

swim before he enters the high school without going miles

traffic. No hill has been closed to traffic during a coasting season
for even a single night that it might be turned over to the kid- i r
their pleasure. Nor will one be until some representative body tl
of men demands that it be done. He hasn't a baseball ground or a (,
lit place to play football until he enter-, the high school. I- it i.
anything to be wondered at that the poolrooms and even less re-
spectable places are fairly overrun with boys not much more than j,
infants (although the signs read. "No minors allowed") or that
there is so much "devilment" among the boys on all sides? fhese
are just a few questions for a man whose particular job it is to give;
some attention to the boys of the town to solve, whether he be a
Boy Scout master or just a boy supervisor or whatever you choose to
call him.
The greatest thing that has been done for boys "luring the
present veneration has been the Boy Scout movement. It has grown

The V. M. C. A. mav help some, if it ever becomes a reality, but
the first thing to be tackled is the proposition of doing something
for the kids and the boys who are "coming on," It will take some
thought and some money to accomplish any permanent good, but
the game is worth the caudle. Here's hoping that for the good
of Ottawa the present evident interest of men like the Rotarians will
not wind up in mere talk.

periencing a decline the indebtedness which overshadows many!
men in business, whether mercantile, manufacturing or agricultural.
Debts and the ever recurring interest payments stand out in great
er prominence today than ever lefore. The period of readjustment
following the close of the war is absorbing all the energies of the
people of the nation. None feel the pressure of these unfavorable
conditions more than the farmers. They arc the tii'M. apparently,
to receive the shock of reaction. Their position is in the front line.
Their sacrifices are great.
In his report the Secretary of Agriculture gives particular
stress to their condition'-, describing the obstacles which confronted
them early in the year a backward spring, constantly increasing ;
cost of labor and seed, and the difficulty in obtaining help, the latter,
caused by the disinclination of returning soldiers to adapt them
selves to the farm. And then, ha ing met and solved the problems of
reconstruction, he. the fanner, is confronted with a falling market.!
"In midsummer' he says, "when the farmer's period of outlay was
nearly at an end and their income period vvas about to begin, a
sharp decline occurred in the prices of practically all farm products.
Covering nearly everything the farmer bad to sell, it did not ma-
