PARENT-TEACHER CORNER.

The National Congress of Mothers and
Parent Teachers Associations hold that
knowledge of child nurture is the foun-
dation in home, church, school and
state, upon which must be raised the
standards of the human race. 1t believes
that nearly all social problems are fur
nished by men and women who do not
adjust themselves to the true order OF
life, largely through the neglect of their
physical, moral and mental culture in
childhood and youth
The Congress has made a study Of the
canses of infant mortality, juvenile crime
and political and business corruption.
Itlasserts that the remedy for all these
things lies in proper care of children
1t is in the province Of parents to be the
largest factor in creating better oppor.
tunities for the coming generations
Child nurture is science and the great
est of all sciences, because it deals with
the crowning work of Goldman.
The Congress believes that the guild.
ance and nurture of the children of the
races is the greatest, most enduring and
most vitality important work of the
world. Reasoning from cause to effect,
it asserts that in the proper nurture OF
every child lies the solution OF most
world problems.

Ell Paso, Nov. 24.-Heavy fighting
tetween a force of from 5000 to 5000
Villistas attacking Chihuahua City and
the Carranza garrison is still pro-
crossing at noon today, De Facto
Consul Bravo announced. Officers Of
he Juarez commandicia expressed
fears that the ammounition of the
Chihuahua City garrison would be ex-
hausted before night. Yesterday all
available ammunition at Juarez was
started south. Carranzistas at the
border had no news concerning it.
Dut to lack of men, only thirty guards
were sent with train. Doubt as to the
outcome of the battle caused orders
to be issued to hold all trains at
Juarez under steam in readiness to
start south.
The heaviest fighting in Chihuahua
City centered in the western part OF
the city, between the waterworks and
the penitentiary. Later reports stat
eci that Villa was gazing ground. Ca
pi1ulation of the city is looked for by

have SECURED
ADEQUATE
FORCE

C. w. Adair, a member of the cot
ton growers committee appointed to
secure pickers for the 1916 crop, has
Just returned from San Diego, and
announced this morning that the fu-
ire held no worries regarding an
adequate picking force for this years
crop. The campaign to bring in pick
ers will not stop, but efforts will be
made to select the most competent
hands from now on.
By December 1, Mr.. Adair believes,
one-half of this years crop should be
picked, and he urges the growers to
refrain from indiscriminate hiring of
rickers from other planters. He is
Of the opinion that the picking force
now in the Valley is ample for the
present needs and that no attempt
should be made to induce pickers to
leave job with the lure Of better
wage proposals.
The lack of pickers during the early
IHOuClS VI CiC PiShiiiS oSe'ooii was g
fortunate development, Mr.. Adair stat
cd this morning. 1t was pointed out
by him that early picking would have
brought about early sales and in con-
sequence the growers would not have
profited by the later increase in quo
tations. Mr.. Adair sold some long
staple this morning at % cents and
is inclined to think that before the
first of December radical changes will
te in evidence.
"Cotton dealers on the exchange
close their months business on the
|25th, and when contracts are closed
and business in cotton cleared up
there is generally a fluctuating mar
ket until the big factors again re-
sumo buying and delivering" said Mr.
Adair.

1t became known today that a new

but that mountain road from point
cn the San Diego road between Pine
Valley and Glen Cliff will be built
to the forest.
Norman H. Sloane, forest super

d. G. Bitter, secretary of the local
Chamber of Commerce, are today
making an auto tour over the valley
to enable Mr.. Du Bois to become ac-
'quainted with conditions in the Valley
land the relationship existent between
residents of the Valley and a summer
resort in the Laguna mountains.
Several years ago this question of

nearby, where Valley people might re-
tire during the hot months, was agi-
Itated with considerable vigor. About

Of leasing grounds and building but
unexpected events occurred and the
scheme fell through.
Of late, however, the United States
Forest Service has been considering
the advisability Of reopening the

view has gone ahead. The Forest
Service has recently made a survey
for a mountain road eight miles in
length. 1t was necessary to acquire
rights of way through various tracts

peared as though the question would
have to be decided in the courts. A
satisfactory arrangement was made
and all is in readiness now to start
work.
! The two representatives of the For
est Service arrived in Ell Centre last
evening and this morning called upon
A l.. Richmond, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, soliciting his
aid in acquainting them with present
existing conditions. Mr.. Richmond
called upon Mr.. Bitter to act as es-
cort in their tour over the Valley.
According to Mr.. Du Bois and Mr..
Sloane, when this roadway from the
Highway is completed, residents in
and around Ell Centre may drive to
the summer colony in three hours with
out effort.
