eAeY WEEK TO DE OBSERVED
 THE FIRST WEEK IN MARCH

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-The Amer ican Federation of Women's Clubs and the various state federations are ar ranging to cooperate with the Child ren's Bureau of the United States de- partment of labor. in nationwide campaign to teach the care of babies. The campaign is to begin at once and culminate the first week in March in what is to be known as Baby Week." when the facts about Ameri- can babies. the needs of American babies. and Amer 'ca's responsibility to her babies will be made known and emphasized as never before.
 More than 400 communities repre- senting every state in the Union are already laying their plans for baby week. according to the Children's bu- -eau. in order that during those seven days the needs of the American baby may be so presented that the parents in those communities will learn a lit- tie better how to care for their babies and all the citizens will realize that they have a special obligation to safe guard the cond 'tions surrounding ba- bies. And 1t is confidently believed that those who are interested in this nationwide Baby Week that the re- mainder of the year will be marked by the strengthening of all commun'- ity activities for saving babies lives and giving them a better chance to grow to a healthy maturity.
 The Baby Week Idea originated in Chicago not two years ago. Then New York had a Baby Week, and Pit tsburgh. and other cities. Such prac- tical benefit has in each case resulted that the General Federation of Wo- mems Clubs has undertaken to pro- mote this nationwide obeervance State health officials and organizat' 'ons interested in public health and child welfare have taken up the plan and in various ways have been giving 1t not "nly their sanction but their active cooperation. The evtens on divisions of the State universities have prom ised special assistance in Interesting and helping Baby Week in rural com munities.
 The Federal Children's Bureau be- 'ieves that Baby Week will give more parents a chance to learn the accept ad principles of infant care. and will awaken every American to the resDon- -ibIiIty or the deaths of the three hun fred thoueand babies. who. according to the census estimates. die every wear before they are twelve months old. Therefore the Children's Bureau has prepared a special bulletin of practical suggestions for Baby Week campaigns. adapted 10 tho varying needs of communities of different types. Copies of this bulletin may be had free of charge from the Child ren's Bureau at Washington.

 During the winter we have to mush to Anchorage from Seward. trip of 125 miles. At the road house en- route .there are frequently twenty-five men asleep on the floor in single room whle fifty to seventy dogs make the night hideous outside.
 Understand Conditions
 Seattle jobbers understand condi- tions in the north better than those of any other city and that is one of the reasons why Seattle business houses get the Northern business. They know how to pack the goods and how to arrange for its transportation. San Francisco and Portland houses have trouble because their goods come to Alaska in bad condition. They don't understand the game"

KING BOOZE WHEN LEAVING REIGN AT SEATTLE oAzED
 ON MOST GLOOMY BEINGS

Great shrouds of gloom hung over Seattle when old King Booze quit his reign there on the first of the year according to passengers on the Jef- ferson. Before five o'clock in the ev- ening all mixed drinks were taboed and patrons n both cafes or other IT, quor resorts took theirs straight. Snow started falling in the afternoon and at night the streets were white The celebration was quiet. the change from wet to dry dampened all the ardor of both young end old. Only eight arrests were made dur. ing twenty-four hours by the police Prominent clubs held watch sessions but when the clocks struck twelve glasses were broken.
 Trumpeters went up and down First. Second and Third Avenues sounding the mournful taps. Various hotels about the city hung crepe over the bars. The Paxton Hotel. one of the old resorts closed its doors as the old year died One cf the local papers several days after the law went into effect published the fol- lowing original poem: Where is the booze of yesterday? What has become of the flagons
 bright?
 Where is the haunt of the liquor
 served

RUSSIA WANTS
 INACHlEiERY

Russia Is cEort of harvest machin- cry, for the amount of land crop in creases enormously every year, and 5,O0O,0O0 rubIes, or about S2,500O, 900 have been appropriated to the Depart ment of Agriculture for the purpose of buying the much needed machin- cry from friendly and neutral nations This is. an opportunity for opening a large market, which American man. ufacturers of machinery should step into without delay.
 The Department of Agriculture has been stea diIy teaching the people of Russia improved methods of agricul- tufre, and as a result there is a con tinually increasing demand for agrt- cultural machinery among land own CTS and peasants. During the begin ming of the war, for the crops of 1914 and 1915, the necessary machinery was delivered to the agricultural dis tricts. This was due to several fac tors, one being the increased output of Russian factories which reached 1911-191S and the other was the big import of the machinery, which amounted to about $9O,000,000 in the same period.
 With the continuance of the war, conditions have changed entirely. The importation of machinery has prac- tically> come to a -standstill, and the domestic harvesting machine facto- ries have been transformed into de- pots for the manufacture of war ma teria1s. In order to prepare for the needs of the 1915 crop, the govern n.ent is in the market for farm tools and machines.
 A specialist for the Department of Agriculture investigated the question and found that the shortage would be especially acute in reaping and planting machines of which there are stored approximately only 15,000 in the country, whereas during the last few years the average number of sur plus machines has ranged from 10000 to 45,0OO. The discrepancy in fig ures is too great for@the needed mum fort.
 Three factors are needed to ar range this matter, and these have been brought into accord. They are the Department of Agriculture, the Zemstvos and the Moscow National Bank. Tn addition, the farmers CO., operative societies (of which there are many in Russia) have combined for the purpose of aiding in the solution the welfare of the country in the coming harvest. The Director of the Department of Agriculture has made the demand for money from the Council of Ministers and it is ex- pected that the $2,5O0,000 which is given as capital stock will be used mainly for the purpose of buying the the two machines for which there is the greatest need. As the United States leads tho world in this man ufacture, the importance of the Rus sian governments action is momen- tous.
