There is serious danger in certain
occupations to the health of the ma
tons young
A member of the U. s. public health
service has just made study OF chill
dren working in cotton mills in Mass
achusetts. He Investigated 600 boys
between the ages Of IA and is employ
ed In the cotton manufacturing indus
try. Here is what he found:
"a considerable proportion Of the
younger boys and also Of those over II
were understood and physically unde
veloped for their ages, while those be
tween Is and 16 averaged larger thar
other classes Of boys of their age with
which comparisons were made.
This fact is explained by the &C
emulation in the mills of strong boys
boys waiting to reach the age Of 16 to
60 into permanent full time occupa
tions.
THE presence Of a noteworthy pro
portion of understood boys is no,
ascribed to the effects of the occupa
tions, but to the fact that the cotton
mill offers one Of few chances of EN-
ployment for understood boys.
Evidence of injurious effects oil
their work or working conditions, ev
en- of the temperature and humidity
of the mills, on normal boys was sci
dom found, although further investi
cations of possible effects of atmos

COLLEGE LIVESTOCK
CLASS OF NORTHWEST
Twenty Head of Thoroughbred Cattle
and Sheep Win 500 Cash, Over
Eighty Ribbons and Cup

Live stock from the college farm
proved its right to be classed as the
best in the Northwest during the
tour of the three principal Northwest
fairs Just completed by Richard
Hanna, herdsman. Fifteen head Of
cattle and five head of sheep were eX-
hibited at the Spokane Interstate
fair, the Washington State fair at
North Yakima and the Oregon State
fair at Salem, and 800 in premium
money, over 80 ribbons and the best
cup ever secured by the college was
brought back by Mr.. Hanna upon his
return Wednesday. Roam King a
two-year-old ShorthOrt horn steer
took first prize in the fat animal
class at each of the three fairs as well
as winning the grand championship
at the Oregon State fair. and made
possible for the college an elegant
silver loving cup, standing nearly
two feet high. Other grand cham
pionships won at the Oregon fair
were on fat sheep and the Hampshire
eve. Two Galloway cattle, a COW
and a bull, also proved the best in
their class at each of the three fairs,
although the Hereford COW Rare
Maid" proved the best money maker.
Much of the credit for the excel
llent condition of the college stock,
a source of invaluable advertising for
the institution, must go to Mr.. Han
ma, the herdsman, who had the stock
in charge during the entire trip.

WILL PROVIDE PLACE
FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS

The recent and wise action Of the
Pullman school board in forbidding
the maintenance or organization of
secret clubs or other organizations
of high school students except under
the sanction of high school authori-
ties having placed three such organ
izations under the ban, movement
has been started by the Minister'S
Alliance toward providing a suitable
place for the high school boys to
spend their idle time to profit. The
Rev. Caughlan, representing the Al
lance, appeared before the chamber
of commerce Tuesday with a request
for cooperation, and the matter was
made a special order of business for
next Tuesday, when definite plans
will be promulgated. The final re-
port Of receipts and expenses in con-
nection with the recent county ex-
hibit of boys and girls club work
will also be made at the Tuesday
meeting and a full attendance is de-
sired.

FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS

An index to the prosperity of the
farmers of this neighborhood was
observed in the abundant supply of
cash in evidence at the public sale by
the Farmers and Mechanics bank at
the old Burgan farm last Tuesday.
According to j. N. Scott, who served
as clerk, the total sales aggregated
$2700 and only three buyers gave
notes in payment, all Of these in
small amounts, practically all Of the
farm ers paying in cash. Another in
dex to the unprecedented prosperity
of the farmers was the fact that
every buyer, and many of them were
accompanied by their entire fam
lilies, went to the scene Of the sale in
an automobile. NJ W. Cairns was
auctioneer and the sale was a big
success.
