100000 WILD SHEEP
 WHERE GOLD WAS BURIED

and it was but natural to suppose that the island was inhabited But it wasn't!
 It was but recently that this fact was discovered, and the discoverer immediately proclaimed himself own CT of the sheep by right of discovery. He found that they were wild as deer, but he at once made up his mind that the sheep were worth as much as sev- eral bags or chests of gold. The big question was getting them to market.
 Naturally he knew that permit would have to be obtained from Gov. Cantu, for the island is one of the possessions of Mexico. One of Gov. Cantu's closest friends was appealed to and by paying the regular export duty, permission was granted to ship, the sheep to the San Diego and Los Angeles markets.
 How to corral the sheep was the next question. This was done by erecting shoot" at the point where steamer could land. Long wings, " shape, were run from the shoot, and on the day, very recently, when the specially chartered steamer reached Sheep Island" drive" was made
 Sheep were there by the thousandsl They dashed and jumped pell-mell over each other in their vii fright until the boat was in danger of turn ing turtle, 2OOO being driven on tn,- boat in record-breaking time.
 This boat load of wild sheep was sold in Los Angeles the latter part of last week The boat is now making a second trip, and can continue to make these trips once asMeek for the next six months, for the estimate is made that there are between 75,oO0 and 100000 sheep on this long over looked island
 If you don't believe this sheep story ask my friend, J L. Redondo, the customs house broker. He can tell you all about it, for he was in Los Angeles when the sheep were sold and knows all the parties concerned.

Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-09-09
(By Benjamin Franklin Fly)

| IOUdUly WI lNoONl VI the Yuma Daily Examiner has heard from time to time of the millions of dollars buried somewhere along the coast of Lower California, or on some of the many islands that dot the ocean between San Diego and Mazatlan, for the stories that have been printed about this hidden treasure are so numerous that they have long since ceased ito be of any particular inter est, beyond the fact that many daring Americans have gone to that semi-civilized section in search of this hid den treasure never to return.
 1 am just in receipt of a story from San Diego, in connection with this long-loSt hidden treasure, that sounds Hike a chapter taken from one of the old editions of Capt. Kidd and if it were not vouched for by one of the best known officials of Yuma Fl would very seriously queS- ton it's truthfulneSs; but if comes to me "as straight as a string" and must be taken at it's face value-indeed it can be proven by none other than Governor Cantu.
 Something like forty years ago, so my friend tells me, party of eX- plorers landed on one of the numer- ous islands that dot the ocean between San Diego and Ensenada, armed with DICKS and SnOVelS to QlS TOT CHe UdSS and chests of gold supposed to have been buried there by pirates during the early days of the settlement of the Western coast of Mexico.
 So confident were these explorers that this was the identical island upon which the gold was buried that they not only took picks and shovels with them, but also boat load of all kinds of provisions, determined to remain on their New Eldorado until the long lost gold was jingling in their pockets.
 Among their assets were small flock of sheep, which they had wisely taken with them for fear that the island was barren of animal food.
 Bays passed into weeks, and weeks into months-but no gold was found Disheartened and disgusted, the ex- plorers determined to give up the search, and did so, leaving the sheep already gone wild-to care for themselves.
 The years have come and gone, and the sheep kept multiplying!
 No one has ever dared to explore that particular island since then, be-

TOPEKA'S BABY RECORD

One out of six babies in the United
States dies before it is a year OLD.
That is the average for the entire
United States. Isn't it enough TO make
womanhood weep?
bies is not so high. Only one-tenth or
them die without having a b1rthday
anniversary. Two years ago the death
rate among Topeka babies was ap-
proximately the same as the average
for the rest of the United States. But
that was before the Topeka PUBIC
Health Nursing association was estap-
lished.
Coincident with the establishing OF
the nursing association the infant NOR
tality rate began decreasing. There
was a decrease in the death rate
nounced results were with the babes
Eight Nurses at Work Here.
The Public Health Nursing associa-
ton is Just what it's name implies plus
educational work. Eight nurses are
now at work. They go into the homes
where they are most needed ana 90
whatever needs to be done. The only
reason nurses are needed in the homes
they visit is because of what they
know. Members of the family could

while the nurses render their skillfui
services in caring for the sick, they at
the same time teach those about them
to do the same things, and knowledge
or how to care for the SICK is spread
Good Showing Baby Week.
Topeka babies made an unusually
fine showing Better Babies week.
Much of the credit for the success of
the show belongs to Miss Edith Lacey,
recently placed in charge of the Pub
lie Health Nursing association. She
and the nurses did the hard work. II
fell upon them to see that each of the
several hundred infants presented for
scoring was kept comfortable while
waiting it's turn with the doctors.
1t was up to Miss Lacey to register the
babies and arrange appointments for
examination. She and the quiet, un-
assuming nurses did the real work,
while a score or more doctors held
the front of the stage.
Miss Lacey's Work.
And the work of Miss Lacey and the
other nurses is not yet completed. In
addition to carrying on the regular
routine of calls upon the sick, they are
still hard at work totaling the scores
of the baby Score-cardS. There are
several hundred parts in the anatomy
of a baby. Not only must each part
be given a rating, but the manner in
which the different parts are put
together must also be considered. A
baby may have a perfect nose, but If
that little nose is stuck on it's face at
too high a tilt, or is not stuck on ex-
actly the right spot, off comes a point
or two on the score. All these things
must be computed in arriving at a to-
tai score. Each score card is the size
of a legal foolscap paper and is COW
cred with small print on each side. 1t

is some job to figure up baby score.
81 scarcely have had time to do any
thing else since the baby show" said
Miss Lacey, land I am not through
yet, and do not know when I will be.
THE babies made an unusually
fine showing at the baby show. OF
two hundred and thirty scored, there
were nine with scores of 100. For
this proportion of babies to be per-
feet is exceptional, but we had six
girls and three boys absolutely flaw
less. Seven live in Topeka. One lives
in Rossville and one In Junction city.
mo, 1 am not giving the names,
because every mother thinks her baby
is just as good as any other baby.
Personally I agree with the mothers
on this point to a very large extent.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-10-23

1 believe that one Grade A baby is
just as good as another. Grade A
babies are those scoring between 95
and 100 and there is really no choice
between babies scoring that high.
what difference does it make If
one baby has a mole on its arm and
another does not? Yet, a mole cuts
down the score. Even the shape of
the finger nails is considered, and
one baby, otherwise perfect. was cut
two points because its hair was scanty.
Now, isn't a baby only a year old,
having just a little hair, just as good
a baby as one with more hair! When
one remembers that all these little
points were considered, isn't it re-
markable that nine perfect babies
were found among 230?'
