START A HEALTH ACCOUNT
FOR YOUR BABIES

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion the campaign for Better Babies
is carried further by the publication
of an article by Dr.. S. Josephine Bak-
er, director OF child hygiene in the de-
partment of Health of New York.
Following is an extract.
II is a common practice to start a
bank account for the new baby, add
ed to on each birthday, with the in
terest accommodating until. when tho
boy or girl reaches twenty-one, sub

Would II not be we'll to start a health

THE NEW DANCES

The Pocatello Tribune makes the
following observations on the many
new dances:
Formerly one dancing school term
seemed to equip a fellow with all
the steps needed for life time. Now
in high society you might as well pro-
pose contra dance to Old Zip Coon,
as the waltz and two step.
Many Of these figures having arisen
from the underworld. food of pro-
test has followed the coarse way in
which they have been done. Indian
apolis and other cities appoint a ma
tron to regulate dances, Cardinal Far
ley OF New York and many other
church dignitaries have banned them,
and a battle Of dancing masters and
chaperones have arisen over their
propriety.
In favor Of the new forms 1t can
be said that the old waltz and two
step had too much sameness and too
frequent repetition of the same fig.
ure. This eventually becomes tire
some to people who are fond of rhyth.
mical motion. To some extent the
new dances represent new original,
and interesting forms. People who
have the instincts of ladies' and gen.
tlemen can and do dance them cor.
respondingly.
A certain rather novel kind Of mu-
sic has come in with these steps.
Much OF 1t has very exhiiarating
animation, due to original syncopa.

ing more closely, particularly the
new figures. A fellow who Is disres-
pectful enough TO womanhood to wind
his arm several times around a girl
should receive sharp call down
from some one who knows better. ,
Apparently some OF the new forms
OF dancing may become permanent.
But 1t is up to all who engage in
them to see that they are done in
way suited to the home. the school
and the church, rather than the red
light district.

asked that question OF yourself. And
how many times have you let the

He writes as follows:
We have just completed a two-year
supervision over a field OF twenty
acres. During the early spring OF
1912 n field OF clover sod was deeply
broken and planted to corn. The soil
being very even and in fine filth was
easily cultivated and grew an immense
crop of corn.
In September the field was divided
into two even parts by a temporary
fence. A bunch OF hogs was placed
into one part. Two hundred and
twenty shocks of corn, twelve hills
square, were put into shock upon the
other at cost of cents per shock
$3.50. This field yielded $50 bushels

CASH BASIS

Considering the fact that all our
general merchants have been on a
strict cash basis since June /, 1918,
the volume of Christmas trade done
by them was very gratifying. It being

thoroughly converted, but with but
two or three exceptions the whole
community is just as firm in the be-
lief that II Is one OF the best re.
forms that has ever taken place in
our history.
The past seven months has posit-
lively proven that within a very few
years, possibly one more, that the
cash system will make of us a city
OF do-wells, instead of a city OF hard
ups. Labormg men and women are
learning that there is a great differ

pounds each, converted the other ten
acres into park. The hogs were mar
keted at IL cents. They made a
gain of 14O pounds each or total
gain of $500. The bunch netted us
S749.70 No labor was expended save
supplying water. They consumed all
the fodder as roughage save the
coarsest of the stalks. When the field
was disked for oats this past spring
not a weed showed in the hogged
down plot.
Drought hurt our oat yield and
catch of clover, but we had something
coming we did not know of until near
cutting time. Weeds, plantain, white
top, and crane bill choked out the
oats badly on the husked portion of
the field. So We thrashed the two
plots separately to find the result.
The husked off plot made about a
half ton of straw per acre full OF
weeds and filth and yielded 230 bu-
shells of oats worth s92 at thrashing.
The hogged down plot yielded 440 bu-
she's. worth S176. Pretty much of
this gain we credit to the hogs in
their thorough work of Kidding out
the noxious weed roots and plants.
Then we have another credit for
them. The manure from the corn
crop was evenly distributed over the
field in gathering the crop and we
got the benefit OF this in fine even
stand of clover, while the husked off
end was not only robbed of the fertil-
ity but a good thrifty stand of clover
as well.
This experience was valuable for
this one man and may be of value to
others working under much the same
conditions. But there are many prob
lens We must settle for ourselves as
we meet them. Our soils, our climate
and our markets must answer ques-
tions, II we ask them.

is IT EASIER TO WRITE ,e.
A PLAY THAN A NOVEL

In the January American Magazine
Walter Prichard Eaton, the dramatic
critic OF that publication, writes an
article In the course of which he
compares the writing of plays with
the writing Of novels. Following is an
extract: e ''f't' ~
Arnold Bennett has recently thrown
a bomb-shelf' into the camp of the
dramatists by declaring that, contrary
to accepted belief, it is much easier
to write play than novel. One of
the chief reasons why 1t is easier. in
Mr.. Benefits opinion seems to be be-
cause play is so much shorter than
novel. The chief difference (other
than Lengthy between play and a
novel Mr.. Bennett finds in the fact
that the former is butt entirely with
dialogue.
From the writer's standpoint, the
real difference between play and novel
lies right here: the play must really
not be written at all, It must be con-
ceived in the authors mind in terms
OF spoken words, living actors, lights,
SCENERY, music; the novel is conceiv-
ed in terms Of written words. You
may almost be sure that an author
who hasn't In himself a touch Of the
play actor, who cannot tell story
orally with hints of character observa-
ton and dialect. who hasn't an eye for
color and grouping and a naive love
for the footlights, will not succeed as
a dramatist. The fact that the same
men (as Mr.. Bennett) writes both
novels and plays no more proves the
two forms alike than does the fact
that Michael Angelo painted and cary
ed proves painting and sculpture
alike Likeness they have Of course.
But they must ever remain different
at bottom because they are bound to
be differently conceived and different
ly executed by the artist. The same
man may succeed In both, but in the
vast majority of cases the same man
doesn't, and probably seldom Will. We
cannot all be SO versatile as Mr.. Ben
nett.
