Still Hold Canal Naval Parade.

Will Still Hold Canal Naval Parade.
Washington. Jan. 19.-With the ar
rival here of Rear Admiral Frank Fri
day Fletcher, commander In chief OF
the Atlantic battleship feet. the Sec
rotary of the navy. Mr.. Daniels, took
up the completion of plans for the pro-
cession If the feet from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast for the opening OF
the Panama. Pacific exposition at San
Francisco.
Practically every important naval
vessel in the Atlantic probably will be
sent TO San Francisco for the great
naval display TO be held there In con-
nection with the opening Of b expo
sition. The feet will rendezvous at
Hampton Roads toward the end OF
February. Under the command Of
Rear Admiral Fletcher it will then
steam TO the Panama canal, which will
then be officially opened, the fleet
steaming through, and after that the
naval parade will proceed up the west
coast to the exposition grounds near
the Preside of San Francisco.
President Wilson, Secretary Daniels
and Secretary Garrison OF the var de-
partment will accompany the fleet on
its journey. Other cabinet officers will
be invited TO participate, but whether
the entire cabinet will go with the feet
has not been determined. All the lead
ing maritime nations have been invit-
ed to send warships to Hampton Roads
to participate in the parade through
the canal to the west coast. IL Is not
yet known what foreign nations will
participate. The Latin-American ma
tons. especially Chile, Argentina and
Brazil, with their new warships, ara
pretty certain to be represented, both
on account of their direct interest In
the opening OF the canal and on ac-
count Of their easy ability to spare the
warships in the procession. But IL the
war Is still In progress ii would DO
manifestly impossible for contending
b~elligerents TO be represented In the
same line Of warships.

Cook. Her Pupil. Ho. Lunch.

Kalamazoo, Mich. Jan. 19.-There is
one district school In Michigan where
the pupils are served a hot lunch at
noon. 1t is located several miles south
of Kalamazoo. and Miss Martha Bin
der. a graduate Of the Western Michi-
gan Normal, is the teacher who hit
upon the idea.
Not only that, but this teacher each
year has every pupil in the school raise
a small garden and all kinds of vege-
tables. and some even raise small
fruits with success.
In the school Miss Binder has ar
ranged a small stove. on which cook
ing can be done. She provided the
cooking utensils. and each child was
asked TO provide his own dishes. At
the noon hour Miss Binder prepares the
hot foods. the menu being changed
each day.
The children. in addition to what is
served by the teacher, carry with them
a portion of their lunch, and, after be
ing supplied with the hot food, all sit
at a table and enjoy just as good q
meal as could be secured at home.

6stujan postoffcs In France.

London, Jan. 16.-The little branch
p~ostoffice In the district Of Ste. Adresse,
Havre, is now the most important In
the world In the view OF stamp collec-

soil. A letter posted there, even IL des-
tined only for another part Of Havre.
must carry the full foreign postal rate
of 25 confines, or 3 cents.
II is not due TO the fact of a Belgian
stamp being used. but TO the postmark
of Havre on the stamp that makes is
valuable to philatelists.
During the Office hours stamp collec.
tors stand In line in ste. Adresse. The
greatest sale Is Of postcards with the
embossed stamp Of 8 confines, two
stamps OF 2 confines and one Of / CEN
time, making a total value OF . cents.
They buy the entire issue, which they
usually stick on an envelope addressed
to themselves. and have them cam
celed Immediately at the window. But
the most valuable collection Is one
placed on an official envelope marked
and signed by the mail censor. 1t Is
thus a triple souvenir.
II IL were not for the collectors this
Belgian Office would do a small bust
ness. But In view OF the stamps cam
celed for the sake of the postmark II

the report OF a board of American en-.

tion of China which for centuries peri
odically has been a scene Of death and
suffering can be reclaimed from flood

During the past six years the Ameri.

thousands of dollars for famine relief
in China, largely in the districts which
the American engineers have been
studying with n view to reclamation.
The territory is in north central China,
approaching to within about $50 miles
OF the city Of Shanghai. a part OF the
great country which has known but
little rest from floods and subsequent
famine for $500 years.

deaths which have resulted from
drowning and from starvation in the af-
fected districts is beyond computation.

hardships. but they completed their la
Dor. and their report has been written.

Thanh. Germany. Jan. 17.-Elsewhere
the fighting has been as violent as here
in the Vosges, but here, as nowhere
else, is the poignant distress Of moth
ers with French sympathies having
sons fighting In the German ranks.
The two nations which shared the Al
satan population after 1870 are now
setting cousin against cousin. uncle
against nephew and in many other
cases brother against brother.
While those who adopted French ma.

German side OF the frontier unques-
tionably has become more Indifferent
To the mother country. The result is
a situation which is illustrated by the

County Commissioners Cannot Draw
Two Salaries.
Pierre, S. Double compensation
cannot be drawn by county commis-
sioners for supervision Of road work,
is the holding of the attorney gen
department on inquiry as to
conditions in Sanborn county, IT ap'
that the commissioners OF that
county had been acting as supervis-
'ors of road work, for which they
drew compensation from the road
fund, in addition to their compensa-
|tion from the county, which is limited
by statute to $500 per year. The
holding is that the limit stands, and
their compensation must come from
the general fund, at four dollars per
day up to the three hundred dollar
limitation, which is all they may draw
from the county.
1t is also held on inquiry from lie
bach county, that the sheriff Is entlt-
led to a fee of n dollar for each
return Of collection of personal prop
erty tax, which has been placed IN
his hands for collection. The issue
appeared to be what was meant by the
word return in the new statute, and
this is construed by the legal DE
partment to mean each individual re
turn, the same to be charged to the
party from whom such collection Is
made, it being the intent OF the law
that the county incur no additional
expense in collecting past due per

IT'S LOVE THAT COUNTS.
Constitution" Babies Mortality Great
er Thar Home Babies.

or Thar Home Babies.
Every mother knows why the death
rate is higher among babies in insti-
buttons than among those who are
brought up in homes. Only a mother
knows the hours of careful attention
and thought given to the baby in the
home and which the baby cannot re-
ceive in an institution where there
are SO many and where everything is
done by rule and measure.
a while ago the health officials Of
New York city took Is babies out Of
founding institutions and placed them
in homes. They purposely picked out
the weakest and sickliest babies.
THESE babies, doctors and asylum at
tendants, believed had but a few days
to live. In fact all Of the little ones
were Listed as hopeless" Thirty
nine died and 26 lived, thereby reduc-
ing the mortality rate from 100 per
cent to 81 per cent.
The cost OF maintaining the babies
in private homes amounted to about
81 cents a day, while the cost Of in
stitutional care had been from $1.00
to 1929.
Albert Cross, of the Philadelphia
Child Federation. in a report deplores
the high death rate Of infants in In
situations.
"One might expect, with the care
takers connected with the average
baby institution" he said, that the
supervision and administration Of the
institution would be more intelligent
than that received by babies in priv
ate families. But it is an accepted
fact that the infant mortality rate in
institutions far exceeds the death rate
of babies in homes"
Any mother could tell Mr.. Cross
that a baby needs more than intel
ligent supervision and administra
ton" Baby needs mother love and
mothers care.-Minneapolis News.
