the old system were in vogue-that of

Still in the Dark

Charley Wooden received a letter
last week from DIR. Spicer at Biston.
He says it is just as hard to find his
way around Boston as it was to get
off of the Two Buttes mountain in the
dark of the morning after Says a cap
italist in New York asked him if he
knew anything about Two Buttes and
he told him he didn't need a map he
carried such a vivid picture of it in
his mind that he could without any
hesitation locate anything in the seq
regation anywhere between the River
Of Doubt and the top of Two Buttes
mountain. He also said he was offer
ed a chance to go to Europe with a
load of mules bound for Italy, but did
not accept. Wouldn't look pretty"
he wrote, 1900 miles from land float
ing around in the water with several
hundred other-mules." He says the
new Boston ball park is almost as
large as Lamar's and has a bigger
grandstand. He thinks he will be in
Lamar about next May, but says he
will have to avoid any such exciting
events as Two Buttes celebration.

Lamar Kids

Robert had two little playfellows
who were passing the afternoon with
him. They finally began boasting
about their parents and belongings.
My father" Dragged Robert, "is
going to build a fine house with a
steeple on it"
That's nothing" exclaimed Louis,
scornfully, my father has just built
a house with a flagpole on it"
Sherman, who had been listening
intently, was silent a moment, then
burst forth triumphantly:
Gee, that's nothing! My father is
going to build a corking house with a
mortgage on it."

Great Feed Crop

John o. Stream brought in some
fine samples Of winter emmer from
the Center ranch Of the A. B. s. Co.,
which Manager George Penley said
threshed So bushels per acre. 1t did
this although on account of shortage
of seed it was sown very thin and he
says with proper amount Of seed it
would easily make 1875 bushels per
acre. AS it is just as good for feed
ing purposes as corn, and grows with
very little moisture or cultivation it
is the most profitable crop that can
be planted by our stockmen. Mr..
Stream secured some samples of
peaches from the Caywood and Lucas
orchards in Cottage Place, pears from
the Ray Strain orchard, and apples

already large holdings Of irrigated
lands in Prowers county. They pur-
chased the Mendenhall ranch east of
Granada and under the Lamar canal,

which will cause him to remain a res

n. N. Mclean, the pioneer druggist
Of Lamar, got out circulars this week
announcing a new policy. Although
his prices have always been lower
than most places in the west he will
as an extra inducement give an addi-
tional ten per cent discount for cash
in almost all lines of drugs. This
means a big saving for those needing
anything in that line.

Great care should be taken not to
let the baby scratch the skin, when
it is irritated. Sift together two
parts powdered cornstarch and one
part boric acid, and use it freely on
the chafed places. Remove wet or
soiled diapers at once. Wash dry the
flesh thoroughly. then dust the pow
der freely between the legs.
Milk Crust. This is a skin disease
affecting the scalp, in which yellow
ish, scaly patches appear on the ba-
by's head. These patches should be
softened by amounting them with olive
oil or vaseline at night, and the head
washed with warm water and CASTLE
soap in the morning.
If the crust does not readily come
away, repeat the process until the
scalp is clean. Never use a fine comb
nor the finger nails to remove the
crusts, as the slightest irritation of
the skin will cause the disease to
spread further. The scales will usual
ly disappear after a few days of care
full treatment.
Constipation. If the baby does not
have at least one full bowel move
ment in "a hours or in SO at the out
side, he is in need of such care as
will bring about this result. Breast
fed babies often respond to an in

creased supply of laxative food in the
mothers diet. If this is not suffi-
Gent, a six months old baby may have
a tablespoonful of strained orange
juice between two of his morning
feelings.
Bottle-fed babies may have fruit
juice in the same way and thin oat-
meal grguel may be substituted for
barley water in making up the feed
ings, after the baby is four months
old.
Perhaps the best preventive of
constipation is to teach the baby to
move the bowels at the same hour
every day. This training should be
begun when the baby is three months
old, and should be faithfully contin-
ued until the habit is firmly estab-
lished. Not only does this practice
establish in the baby from the begin
ming of his life a custom which will
greatly increase his chances for good
health, but results in an enormous
saving of work to the mother. She no
longer finds herself confronted with
a pile of soiled diapers to wash, but
instead gives fifteen minutes OF care
full attention to the baby each morn
ing.
Do not use enemas for the relief of
constipation save in emergencies, and
do not resort to purgative medicines
except with the doctors advice.

Those who are looking for the first
signs of improvement in the new or
der at Lincoln High School may find
n in the resumption of the old time
custom of regular morning chapel ex-
ereises opened with prayer. While
some of the courts have gone so far
as to declare that religious exercises
are illegal in connection with the
work of public schools no Negro is
likely to be arrested or even lose his
position because he daily invokes AL
mighty blessings upon the work in
which he is engaged. Anyhow we
hope Principal Lee will keep up the
practice until someon tells him to
stop.
Another promising sign is noted in
the declared policy of the new princi,
pal to bring about better department
among the pupils while to and from
school. These tangible things look
good to those who hope for visible re.
suits of educational culture.
