IN LOVE WITH HIS MOTHER.

Of all the love affairs in the world none can surposs the true love of a big boy for his mother. It is true and noble.
 Honorable to the highest degree in both. Not only dutiful affection, but a love that makes a boy gallant and courteous to his mother, saying to everybody plainly that he is fairly in love with her. Next to the love of q husband, nothing so crowns a woman's life with honor as this devotion of d son. Never as yet did a son turn out hopelessly bad that was really and truly in love with his mother. Any man may fall in love with a rosy faced young girl, and the man may cruelty neglect his worn and weary mother but the boy who is in love with his mother in his middle age is T true knight, who will love his wife as much in the days when her hair has turned to a silvery gray and her brow is crowned with wrinkles as he did in the days when he could fairly see the daisies blooming on her cheeks.-EX.

LETTER FROM FORMER PRESCOTT BOY NOW ON
 DUTY IN MEXICO

Somewhere in Mexico, July 1, 1916 s. Nelson,
 All State Line Ave,
 TeXarkana, Texas.
 Dear Brother:-
 After so long will try and write you a line to let you know am OK. We have been in camp now for 16 days and it looks as if the "War" is over. This Is the dullest fourth I have ever experienced, nothing doing, nothing to see and no eats to celebrate with Did l write you about the fight we had with bunch of Willis greasers June 9th?
 l read about it in the papers sent down here but the account only said "A detachment of the 18th Calvary under Capt. Renthurshad mix mith a bunch of Mexicans etc"
 In the afternoon of June Sth we got wind of a bunch of Villas gang camp ed about 38 miles up in the mountains we mounted about S:45P.M. figuring to surprise them about 2 A. M. but owing to the rough ground we had to follow we did not come in sight of their camp until about 5:30 A. M. as 1t was getting daylight In turning a hill to our right we came in about 200 yards of their camp as they were get ting out of their hunks. Their camp was at the foot of a wooded hill. but. we had clear space between us We formed line and let them have it and as usual they retreated up the mountain and into the bush, not a one of them was fully dressed as they felt they were secure in their retreat. 1t was funny sight to see them tearing up the mountains half dressed. We killed 8 outright, captured two and wounded several of them. There were about thirty of them and and II of US. After we, had routed them we went into their camp and cooked breakfast on their fires. We found 27 horses and mules in fair condition and about 30 that were a sight to see and I had a time trying to doctor them up. After picking ten of the best ones we turn ed the balance loose. They left bunch of new blankets all colors of the rainbow and after we divided them up "L" Troop looked like bunch of Indians on parade. We burned up ev- erything except what blankets the men wanted and 36 saddles one of which was a beauty, all hand work on the leather with a pretty designs worked in all colors with silk the stirrups and tree inlaid with silver. We burned all of them except the fine one and sent Lit to the states as trophy to be plac- ed in the library of the ''L" Troop. As the troop engaged in this brush was not mentioned in the papers wish you would give the information to The Prescott Daily News so our Troop will get credit in one paper for the skirmsh. For the love of Mike, send me a box of sweets, anything sweet am burt out on hardtack and bacon and we are on the extreme south end of the column and never see enything but rations. Give my regards to the boys and old friends. Love to the family,
 Milton Nelson,
 Happy Jack"

portance should not be overlooked
 Individual preventive measures may be thus summarized:
 Summon physician at once and i'm. mediately notify the health officer of the disease. If the disease is present in the community, medical aid should be brought whenever a child is sick no matter how light the illness; many cases of infantile paralysis begin with slight indisposition. Should the Illness prove to be infantile paralysis Isolate the patient, place a competent person in charge, and reduce all com munication with the sick room to q minimum. Hospital care is preferable. not only for the child but in order to better safeguard against the spread of the disease. The sick room should be well ventilated and screened. Nasal and mouth secretions should be re- moved in cloths, placed in a paper bag and burned. The clothing of the child. the bed linen, and other excretions should be disinfected in the same man. ner as for typhoid fever, that is by boiling, the long continued applicat- ion of 3 per cent. carbolic, or other we'll recognized disinfectant. The same is true for dishes and drinking vessels. Nurses should exercise the same precautions as regards cleanlin- ness of hands in caring for infantile paralysis patients as for those aff1ct- ed with other infectious diseases.
 A child may convey the disease to others even after a lapse of several weeks. For this reason quarantine should be maintained for a consider able period, usually from six to eight weeks, and the above precautions should be adhered to during this time. Disinfection of the room following recovery is advisable.

THE RURAL SCHOOL TERM.
By J. L. McBrien, School Extension Agent, U. s. Bureau of Education
 Talk Three.

One thing to be remembered in connection with the rural school term, as concerns the country at large, is that farm boys and farm girls nave school term 46.6 days shorter than that of their city cousins. In every section of the United States there is a discrimination in our public school. policy against farm boys and farm girls. For example, this discrimina- tion costs the country pupils of the South Atlantic States 59.2 days, of the South Central States 56.4, of the North Central States 31.4, of the Wes- tern States 35.7, and of the North At lantic division 28.8 days. In the lan- guage of o. W. Neale, professor of rural education, State Normal School, Stevens Point, Wis, "The further We go into the study of the rural school term the more evident it becomes that the country pupils are not given square deal in free school privileges" |"
 In effect and for the country at large the rural school term may De increased without voting another day of school or levying another mill of school tax. How can this be done? Improve the average daily attendance of the pupils actually enrolled in school by a better enforcement of the compulsory attendance laws in those states having such laws, and by se- curing compulsory attendance laws at the next session of the legislature in those states without such statutes and by arousing public sentiment through out the country for a better average daily attendance in our rural schools The enrolment of pupils in the rural schools, according to the latest available data (1910) on rural school enrolment, was 11,10O,553, with an average daily attendance therein oI 7,509,558, making the average daily absences in the rural schools alone 3,590,995. These figures are appall- ing. The average daily attendance in rural schools for the country at large is only GIG per cent-an average daily attendance of 11.7 per cent low CT than that in urban schools. It is evident that rural pupils are penal ized in this matter of free school privileges not only by the general policy of the various States but also by indifferent, ignorant or selfish parents who fail to do their duty by their own children in allowing them to remain out of school while school l is in session.

PREVENTION OF INFANTILE
 PARALYSIS

To control the present epidemic of infantile paralysis, acbording to a statement issued by the United States Public Health Service today, the chain of infection between persons harbor- ing germs of the disease and the well members of the community should be broken Infantile paralysis is probab- ly caused by a very minute organism found in the nasal, mouth and bowel discharges of those who have the dis ease or who are carriers of the germ 1 without themselves suffering from ail- ment All of the steps in the spread of the infection are not known but if this germ can be prevented from pass ing from the infected to the well per son, the disease will cease.
 lnfantile paralysis is not a disease of recent origin. Sporadic or scat tered cases have occurred throughout the country for many years but 1t is only during the last decade that the Infection has assumed epidemic pro- portions in the United States. The present epidemic has awakened the residents of many communities to the danger of the importation of the dis ease into their own midst This dang CT IS real, but if due precautions are exercised 1t Is believed that the epi- demic will subside.
 The actual control of the present epidemic must be left to the city, State and Federal health authorities. These organizations will properly quarantine and care for the infected persons, pre- scribe Sasitary measures and limit as may be necessary the travel of | lhdlVuaIs In order to protect neighbor- Ing districts from the infection. ln- ulVldualS and communities, however. can do much toward their own protect ion.

The lineup for the great fight is
now complete. II presents one OF the
most amazing spectacles in congress
sional history. Senators who possess
millions have arTayed themselves upon
the side of predatory plutocracy, whicI
is intent upon maintaining its system
of grinding profits out of children Of
tender years. Until today, however,
not one OF them had dared to openly
align himself with the crowd OF lobby

measure.
It is believed that the President viii

Many Of the Progressive-Repu

his firm stand and assured him that
