should be taken out during the middle of
the day, for a little while, never long
enough to run the risk of chilling him.
This applies especially to young and deli
cate babies. As child gets old enough
to walk about and thus exercise himself,
he can be allowed to play for some time
in an open room or where he is sheltered
from the wind.
But an airing every day does not take
the place of fresh air in the house, day
and night, and to secure sufficient ven
tilation for health the mother must be
on the watch to see that the rooms are
opened and the air changed at frequent
intervals.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
Was Successful in Operation of One
Railroad.

Washington, ID. G., Jan. q. Success
! full operation of government owned
railroad, which private interests could
not be persuaded to build, is causing
much satisfaction to interior department
officials, The line, extending rs miles
| from Yuma, Ariz.. TO the Mexican border
through the Yuma valley, has been in
operation daily since February and has
carried 100000 tons of rock besides fire.
quent shipments of other freight which
are increasing. Passenger traffic has
been light owing to the unpopulated re-
gion through which the road runs. but
considerable progress has been made in
the settlement of the country and a
townsite Is miles from Yuma has been
opened.
Construction OF the roalroad, the sec
ond government owned line, was deemed
a necessity by officials of the United
States reclamation service. They had
been unsuccessful in efforts to interest
private capital which considered the
prospect doubtful for the payment even
of it's expenses. As system of rock
revetment was required by the Yuma
valley reclamation project the engineers
decided the material could be placed eco
nomically only by use of track laid
upon the levee which protects the Yuma
valley from the overflow OF the Colo
RADIO river. Work was begun April .,
1914 and the first spike driven May
of that year The annual summer rains of
1914 delayed construction work but it
was completed to the Mexican boundary
in February 1915. The line is 251a miles
long including sidings.
Equipment of the road consists of a
gasolene motor car bearing in hold let |
tiers the inscriptions United States
Reclamation Service, Yuma Valley |
Line" The car carries 20 passengers |
and makes regular trips to the boundary
and return from Yuma. A contract has
been made with transcontinental rail
road for joint use of tracks at Yuma.
Carload shipments destined for the
Yuma valley are taken over by the rec
amation service and carried on its line,

Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor and Represen-

Representative Burnett, who is chair

of the bill, declared that of 100000
foreigners in the United States only
$4,000 were attempting to learn Eng
lish.
Ignorant and unambitious, he de-
clared, they work cheaply, live in squat
or and create conditions that drive
American workingmen from a communi-

To such causes, he insisted were due
the recent Youngstown riots.
"A working man told me he left
Youngstown for no other reason than
the communicating influence that these

The official returns from the
recent primary election show
that there were 1,995votes cast
against President Woodrow
Wilson. No one else appears to
have been voted for, however,
although one Pulaski county
farmer admits that he voted flor
Senator James P. Clarke. It is
not clear just what they expect
ed to gain by scratching the
Presidential candidate, but
there were evidently nearly
two thousand citizens of the
state who desired to register
their protest against his foreign
policies, his second marriage,
or some other fact they could
not commend.

PEACH CROP LIGHT
AROUND CUSHMAN

Cushman, Apr. 18.-The FL
berta peach crop around this
place will be about one-third
lighter than it was last year.
Little green peaches are show
ing on the treesnow. Two-thirds
of the crop was killed late in
the winter by the freezing
weather that came when the
ground was full Of moisture.
Fruit men here say, however,
that the one-third of crop this
year will bring more money
than the full crop last year.
Because of the increased size
of the fruit the lighter-laden
trees will bear more. There are
900 acres in Elbertas around
this place. The 450-aere orchard
of Walter Denison has been
leased to Hunt Bros. of St. Jo-
seph, Mo.
