BABY WEEK..

In order that the general public
may nave a better idea of the "baby
week" movement prior to the nation
al "babysweek,' to be held March 4
to II, the children's labor bureau Of
the department Of labor has issued
a bulletin dealing with baby week
campaigns. One section of the bulle-
tin is devoted to the planning of q
simple baby week-or baby day
suca as any community can under
take, however small or scattered il
may be. Features suggested for such
q simple observance include cam
paign of publicity through newspa
pers and meetings, celebration in the
schools, collecting of baby welfare in.
formatioa4and "follow-up'' work after
baby week is over. -
Some communities will wish to
hold during baby week an infant vel.
fare exhibit, and the children's bu
reau has compiled lists of the public
and private organizations from which
exhibit material may be borrowed.
The baby himself will take part in
the baby week observance in those
communities which include in thei'
program a baby health conference
The bulletin describes three types OF
conferences which have been held
hitherto, and says:
"All have in common the following
features: Thorough physical exami

n. CUMBER CALLS FOR
TW|NE INVESTIGATION
North Dakota Senator Wants At.
torney General to Investigate
Rise in Price.


Washington, Jan. 5.-Senator Nc.
Cumber OF North Dakota introduced
resolution today calling upon the
attorney general to investigate and
report to congress whether comb.
nation OF individuals or corporations
exist to control the price of sisal and
MANILA binding Irvine in the United
States.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on agriculture. Senator
McCumber declared that notice al.
ready had been served by a group Of
interests that there would soon be a
rise in the price of binder Irvine,
There was new combination he
said, the identity of which was
known, and he predicted it would be
comparatively easy for the depart
ment of justice to ascertain whether
the trust laws were being violated.

COOPERATIVE, MARKETING.

Farmers cooperative marketing
and purchasing organizations, it is
estimated, will do business this year
whose volume will reach $1,4OO ,0OO,-
900. These are tle figures furnished
by the federal Office of markets. This
illustrates graphically the growth of
cooperative selling and buying among
the farmers. Especially in the mat
ter Of selling their products, the farm
ers have been able to secure better
prices through the cooperative
scheme.
This growth brings with it the ne
cessity of q Standardization of mar
ket grades and also Of packages or
containers. Many members Of Con-
gfess realize this need and they are
also convinced that federal, not sta te
legislation, win achieve the proper
results.
A Note Of Warning.
Elbert H. Gary, chairman Of the
United States Steel corporation, is
sues timely warning against over
production and imitation by manufac-

turers and bankers, owing to the sum
ulatjop OF business caused chiefly by
the war.
He probably appeals in vain when
he urges the present administration
to provide adequate protection lol
the countrys aid through tariff legis
lation. This is to be the main issue
in the next presidential campaign,
when the Democrats will be forced TO
defend the inadequate provisions oil
the Underwood tariff abortion
The steel magnatc is not sure o'
the future. He senses an inevitable
reaction here sooner or later, in the
destruction OF billions upon billions
of property ACROSS the seas. Nations
like individuals, do not live unto
themselves alone.
Mr.. Gary predicts that the Europe
an war will not be as long protracted
as most men believe. He bases his
opinion on two grounds: First, be-
cause no great direct benefit to any
belligerent can result from the war
and in the second place, because OF
the absolute impossibility Of one side
conquering the other, as demonstrate
ed by the fact that each Of the war
ring nations is starving for men and
money.
He sounds warning this nation
should heed. The purchasing power
of the world will be reduced greatly
following the struggle which is fast
impoverishing the richest countries
of Europe. United States must ad'
Just herself to these conditions. Her
business men are drawing heavily
now upon the future. All Europe is
straining her purchasing power. Re-
trenclment of the most rigid kind
must come sooner or later when
peace is restored in the belligerent
countries.
The remedy, however, is economic,
not political. 1t is not question OF
Republican or Democratic tariff, but
it is imperative that some protection
be given the American industries
against the cutting competition that
will follow this war.
