AMERICAN CREW
 Is WORKING HARD Uncle Sam's Entry in Hen ley Regatta Creating
 Much Interest

New York, May 3-Amateur rowing club and college oarsmen are greatly interested in the training progress of the Union Boat club eight of Boston which has been entered for the grand challenge cup at the Henley, England regatta, to be held July 2-4. The crew and substitutes, consisting mainly of former Harvard university oarsmen are rapidly rounding into rowing form and experts who have been following the daily training predict a powerful, fast and finished eight will carry the Union Boat club colors at the famous English regatta. The crew as com posed at present contains some of the heaviest, strongest and most finished oarsmen to win varsity letters in re- cent Harvard eghts. Although the combination averages we'll over 1S0 pounds at the present time, it Is ex pected that when it is boated on the Thames the average will be but a pound or two below these figures.
 The oarsmen substitutes and coaches are scheduled to sail for Liverpool on June Is and will arrive at Henley about June 24. This will give them seven days in which to complete their training and become familiar with the course which is far different from the American courses upon which they have been accustomed to TOW. During the tri pacross the Atlantic the oars- men will continue their daily training as far as conditions will permit Run ming and setting up exercises will be part of the schedule and 1t is possible that the rowing machines used by col leges and boat clubs for indoor work will be carried Abroad for use during the voyage. Every effort will be made to land the crew in close to perfect condition.
 Ii is thought that the weeks train ing at Henley will be sufficient to complete the conditioning without the danger of upsets due to the climatic changes as would be the case in d longer interval between arrival and racing.
 It has been learned from the past experiences of athletic teams and crews competing in England that a stay of two or three weeks abroad takes the edge off the physical con alton of the Amercan athletes. The cl- matic conditions are such that it is better to fix the date of arrival several months before the competition or plal to arrive at the scene of contest with iii few days of the event Both meth ods have been adopted by past en- trants at the Henley regatta and botf have been found feasible but there ap. pears to be no compromise possible il the oarsmen are to retain their best physical condition up to the day of ths races

 Carranza to Establish Government
 General Carranza shortly after his arrival at Torreon next week expects to visit the city of Durango, in the state of that name. to establish civil government. The situation there, it ist said, has caused him much anxiety be- cause of the dominance of the Arrieta brothers, Benjamin and Dominguez. These men having recruited three or four thousand men, announced their al- legiance to Carranza, but it is alleged they have merely used the rebel ban ner as q cloak for footing and out rage.
 At the battle of Torreon General Vil la assigned the brothers to a position forming a link to his mes around the city. The Arrietas, it is said, intent on their footing in Durango, declared they would fight only in that state. By their nonarrival, 1t was said, the federal general Velasco had no difficulty in escaping when he evacuted the city.

GUARD HEALTH OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN

To the School Directors of Inde-
pendence County:
Last year through the kindness
of Congressman Oldfeld | sent to
each of you government bulletin
on Sanitary Privies, ;" showing its
simplicity of structure and cheap
ness, and had hoped that many
would be built last year. But at
ter investigating 68 schools, find
that only one country school has a
screened privey and many have
no priyey at all, thus allowing the
whole earth around the school
house to become polluted, submit
ting the children to HookWorm
and many other parasitic diseases,
and by no screen you allow the
flies to transmit millions of germs
to the mouths of the children, sub
jecting them to the infection of
typhoid fever, dysentry, diarrhea
and many other infectious diseas-
es. The state board of health was
to have had a meeting in May at
which time they were expected to
so modify the law on vaccination
as to remove the prejudice against
it, but the law on screening privies
will be strictly enforced in all
schools hereafter and notify you
now to please construct them be-
fore you open school. If you have
lost your bulletin and forgotten
how they are made, come to see
me and | will show you one that
can be made by any person that
can handle a saw and hammer.
Surely no school director in this
enlightened country will object to
the small outlay necessary to pro-
tect the children from so many
serious and fatal diseases. The ex-
pense of one case of typhoid few
er would screen one half the priv
les in the county and the expense
of one funeral would fix the bal
ance. Then | admonish you to
build them at once and keep the
children healthy, hearty and hap

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
ON INSPECTION TOUR
Spend Several Hours in Newark
and Vicinity Making Inspection
OF Agricultural Conditions

A party of railroad officials in
Guiding D. c. Welty, chief of. the
agricultural department of the
Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain
system; {. O.. Carpenter, agricul-
tural director for Arkansas; Road
master d. W. Hickey and Master
Mechanic ]. L. Butler, spent some
time in Newark Monday making
an investigation of the agricultur-
al conditions in this community.
On their arrival here the party
was met by a committee of repre-
sentative citizens and shown over
the surrounding country. W. A.
Rutherford and c. P. Vaughan
took Mr.. Welty and Mr.. Carpenter
in Mr.. Rutherford's car and drove
them over our famous Big Bottom
and Oil Trough country south OF
town, returning by way of Mag
ness. The railroad officials were
greatly surprised and most favor
ably impressed with this magnifi-
cent country. They had heard re-
ports of the fertility of this sec
ton but its yastness and real
greatness so far surpassed their
expectations that they were gen.
timely and delightfully."- surprised.
The matter of locating a demon
stration farm here was taken up
with Mr.. Welty by our citizens.
The possibilities and opportunities
of this section are so great, and
Mr.. Welty having been fully in
formed of conditions here by this
personal visit, it is very probable
that he will recommend the es-
Enlistment of such a farm at this
point.
After having spent about five
hours here, the party left about
noon on Mr.. Hickey's motor car
for a further trip of inspection up
the White River line.
