Water Farming

Sounds like a lot Of foolish words
all this talk about "white coal"
and "water farming
Maybe-but there's no one
thing of more importance to the
next generation than these sub
jects. Really, they are one SUBJ
iect, for without Water Farming
we can have very little White
Coal.
John L. Mathews has written
an article for HAMPTON'S that
will brill you with the bigness,
the strength, the importance Of
WATER--the kind that focds
a valley, and destroys lives ana
property; OF, when reservolred
and farmed," changes from an
element of destruction to one of
greatest usefulness and economy.
Mathews has done a fine job
on this fact-story. He has writ
ten a thing SO good that you'll
read it with swift interest, then
go back and read it again, and
then hustle around and talk to
your friends about it. In

SQUARE DEAL FOR BABIES.
A Great Work for the CIubwomen Of
America to Do.


America to Do.
Six months ago Rheta Chide Dorr
was commissioned by Hampton's
Magazine to investigate the subject
of infant mortality in this country.
The result is an article in the April
number Of the magazine that is at
once q warning and appeal to Ameri-
can motherhood.
To that rapidly dWndling popula-
ton which conceives the sole function
Of the state to be police power, the
idea of municipal feeding of babies
will not appeal But all the others
are invited to consider whether, in the
long run, the plan might not be a
good one, says the writer.
1t ought to be easy to figure exact
ly the cost to each community of the
annual slaughter of the innocents.
How much does it cost to bury the
babies? What is the loss in the ia
ther's wages and efficiency? What
does the community pay for hospitals,
dispensaries. charities. homes for
handicapped children? What does it
pay toward the support of failures
who started life under a burden and
never caught up with the rest of the
world? Why would not it be cheaper
to pay doctors to prescribe and
nurses to educate against all this?
There is not city or town in the
United States where this work is not
needed, but one where it cannot sue
cessfully be carried on. Anybody who
wants it done can start it going. A
woman's club. or, for that matter,
one member of q woman's club. can
do it. One solitary club woman in
st. Louis started the movement that
ultimately rebuilt the city. Two club
women in Scranton. Pa, began the
crusade that purged that city of ty-
phoid fever and made a glass OF
Scranton water a beverage instead of
a danger.
Any group of sympathetic, inteili-
gent, determined men or women can
inaugurate the system which will give
the babies of their community a
square deal at the beginning of life
Cooperation of milk dealers, dairy
men, local charities, municipal Off
GERS will not be difficult to secure
Nobody wants babies to die. 1t is
inconceivable that anyone should be
willing to let them die, now that the
means of saving them has been dem.
onstrated.

terested in several promising proper

Spokane:
1.-The mine is in better shape now
than it has been at any time in the

velopment work has brought more
ore in sight than we ever had before
and both mill and mine are in ex
cellent condition. We are getting out
10000 tons of ore a month, and
enough ore is blocked out in the mine
to continue that output for the next
10 years.
'"The ore that is blocked out is low
grade ore, but the new 500-ton mill
which will soon be finished will in
crease the mill capacity nearly so per
cent. There are 500 men working on
the mine now and that number will
There are men working on construc-
ton of the new equipment, but when

DEMOCRATIC HOPES

Democrats are very sanguine that passage of the tariff bill will result in the loss of many Republican seats in the House, for, they figure, there IS bound to be more or less-probably more-dissatisfaetion no matter what form the bill finally takes.
 The Republicans now nave major ity of forty-seven in the house. The loss of twenty-four Republican seats, provided the Democrats hold all the seats they now have, would leave Democratic majority. It IS recalled that in the congressional election fol lowing the passage of the Mckinley bill the Republicans lost seventy-six seats. so that a gain of twenty-four seats does not look so hopeless as it otherwise would.
 Coupled with this Democratic hope is the important feature of the speak ership. To gain control and elect Democratic speaker would be con summation every Bourbon would wish. In this hope Champ Clark revels. He would not be without opposition, how ever, in his own party, for his leader ship of the minority has not been an unqualified success, since John Sharp Williams let go.

TO COLLECT INHERITANCE
 TAXES.

The first systematic attempt to col feet inheritance taxes in California was started in San Francisco this week when City and County Treasurer Me Donald instigated more than 200 suits against estates for which the testators, before death, gave deeds to heirs, rath- CT than to have the property probated, in hopes of avoiding payment of the state inheritance tax. Evidence also is being secured against estate eorpor- ations whose founders evaded the in- heritance tax by executing deeds of corporation. The aggregate sum in volved in these prospective suits is large and the collection of the taxes escaped by these subterfuges will be watched with interest, not only by large property-owners, but by the peo- pie also.
