KING GEORGE is AN
ATTENTIVE FATHER.

The Strand: The king is an ex'
tremeIy early riser, and likes to get
his state affairs of the day completed,
as far as possible, before noon. About
this hour he gives audiences to such
of his ministers, representatives Of
foreign powers and others as desire
to see them, and he then takes a BRIEF
rest before lunch. Part of this time
he devotes to a visit to the queen and
such of the royal children as are in
residence. This latter is a duty that
his majesty never neglects, and he
always contrives to give the young
princes half an hour or so of his time,
either in the open air or, should the
weather be unfavorable, in the royal
nurseries. Needless to say, this is a
time that is very kneely looked for
ward to by the children.

The case of Hurst V. Warner affords
a very good illustration. A statute of
the State of Michigan authorized the
state board OF health to establish gen
eral rules for the detention of railroad
cars and other conveyances whenever
it should be shown that such cars or
other conveyances contain any per
son or property which has been eX-
posed to any dangerous communicable
disease, or when it should be shown
that any person or property was being
transported on such railroad cars or
other conveyance from any locality
where dangerous disease exists and
where under the circumstances shown
to the board such persons or property
are likely to carry infection of such
disease. Purporting to act under the
statute, the board of health made
rules which recited the existence Of
communicable diseases in various for
eign countries from which immigrants
were coming to the United States in
large numbers, one of which provided
that, with certain exceptions, all bag
gage of all immigrants destined to
pass into or through Michigan should
be detained until disinfected. The
court said, Under these rules the bag
gage of all immigrants was subject
to disinfection whether such immi-
grant came from a port or locality
where any dangerous communicable
disease existed or not. Indeed, there
is no allegation in the complaint that
the baggage in question came from
such locality. This is beyond the pow
er of the board. The rule in
question did not make it a prerequi
site to the inspection that the bag
gage being transported came from a
locality where such disease existed
as ascertained by the board or in
spector, and in this respect was broad
er than the statute, and can not be
sustained" 1O2 Mich. 242, 247.

Sections 9SS and 991 of the Revised
Laws, as amended by Act 1872 of the
Session Laws of 1911, relating to the
board of health, include the following
provisions:

charge, oversight and care of the

matters of quarantine and other health
matters and may declare and enforce

districts of the Territory as

Section 992 requires that all such
regulations shall be published, and
section 1913 provides a penalty by fine
not exceeding one hundred dollars for

piled or inherent power to make

Powers conferred upon boards

islature.
Section of a regulation made
by the Territorial Board of
Health on November 8, 1911,
making it unlawful to have,
keep, maintain or permit, within
certain areas, any banana tree, or
any other tree or plant capable
of holding water in which mos
quito larvae are liable to breed,
held to be not authorized by sec
ton 99l of the Revised Laws, as
amended by Act 1872 of the Ses-
sion Laws of 1911, providing that
the board of health may make
such regulations respecting wa

Mail Carried BY Dogs.

Not everybody knows that the Unit
ed States has 2,0O0-mile mail route
operated by dog sleds during a good
part of the year. But such is the fact
over the trail between Cordova and
Nome, in Alaska. But for these mail
facilities the dweliers of the bleak
Northern Peninsular during the long
winter months would be without mail
service, owing to the close of navlga-
ton. Even as it is, the accumulation
of Alaska mail in the Seattle postof-
flee, pending the first steamers depar-
ture for Nome this season, weighed an
entire ton. How soon the iron horse
will take the place of the sled is
question; but Uncle Sam is looking Sc
riously in that direction. And this
may even be the last year for the sled,
if congress gives him power to put bis

SOUTHERN FARM MORTGAGES.

A recent report from the Census
Bureau shows that there has been
large increase In the number OF farms
mortgaged during the last census
decade. In che Southern States the
tendency TO place mortgages IN farm
lands has been especially conspicuous.
For the country as a whole the aver.
age amount OF mortgage Indebtedness
per farm increased from si,s2l in 1880
TO si.Ti5 in 1919. No figures are SNeh
TO show the advance in the average
amount of mortgage Indebtedness "a
Southern farms, but in the South Az
lantic States tho proportion OF farms
mortgaged was .. per cent greater IN

period OF ten years the uamoer "i

Ceatsal States also increased ~ Per
