GIVE THE BABY A CHANGE.

Bad air, bad milk, over-crowding, poverty, dirt, ignorance, heat-these combine in summer to kill the city baby. It seems as though the brust of the cities sanitary sins were fo- cused on the baby. The baby didn't ask to come, to live in a hot, dark, air-tignt tenement, to be fed on dirty, half spoiled milk, to be pestered with flies and mosquitoes. He is not res ponsible for any of these conditions and it is his right that he have fresh air, clean surroundings and decert food.

COAL OUTPUT IN
 COLORADO INCREASED

Goal mining in Colorado quickly recovered from the effects of the strike in 1913 and 1914, and ac,orJ- ing to C. F. Lesher, of the United States Geological Survey, the pro- duction in 1915 was S.624.98O short tons, valued at $13, 1899, ,264. an in- crease of 454 ,421 tons, or 1-2 Der cent In quantity, as compared with 1914, although the total value in the two years was practically the same. The increase is due largely to the re- sumption of the operation of mines (notably those in Fremont countv) that were shut down in 1914 by req son of the strike. The greatest in- crease was in Fremont county, but the output of Fl Paso, Garfield. Gun nison, Las Animas and Routt counties also increased.
 There were no labor disturbances in the Colorado coal field in 1915, and the car supply was plentiful.
 The number of men employed in- creased from 10,09S in 1914 to 12,372 in 1915, but the average number of days of work decreased from 24l to l94' The average daily output per man was 3.58 tons and the average yearly output was sos tons, as com pared with 3.32 and SO9 tons, respect ively, in 1914.

last Tuesday evening was quite
a success, owing to the fact
that it was Hallowe'e en-, when

Politics are the chief theme
of discussion in assembly. The
platform of the four president
ial candidates were ably pre-
scented by various students.
The republican candidate was
we'll supported by Melvin Cor
der, the democratic candidate
by Arlan Stair, the prohibit
tionists by Nels Johnson and
the socialist by Myrtle WIKI.
From the discussions we have
arrived at the conclusion that
no matter which candidate is
elected we will have i1ard
times.
Speaking of hard times the
seniors gave a hard time

girls and boys seemed to think
that aprons and red bandanna
