HEARING EVIDENCE
IN INJUNCTION SUIT

The case of the Humboldt-Lovelock
Irrigation Company VS.. w. NJ Kear-
ney, State Engineer, was taken up in
the District Court yesterday.
The suit was instituted last Novem-
Der. when an order was issued re-
straining the defendant or his agents
from interfering with the headgates
of the plaintiffs diversion canal near
Inlay. This canal supplies the plain
tins storage reservoirs, which fur
nish a large part of the water used in
irrigating lands in Lovelock valley
during the summer. When the head
gates of the canal were opened last
November for the purpose of filing
the reservoirs during the winter
months, the State Engineer ordered
the gates closed and a controversy
arose between the official and the irri-
CATION company. The headgates were
closed and reopened several times
and the State Engineer had w. C. Pitt
and John G. Taylor, officials of the
company, arrested several times on
misdemeanor charges, one of which
resulted in a conviction in the Inlay
justice court, the case having been
appealed to the District Court.
When the suit was instituted a tenn
porary Injunction was issued by Judge
Ducker. restraining defendant from
interfering with the water in question.
Evidence is now being submitted
upon application of plaintiffs to make
the temporary injunction permanent
Plaintiff is represented by Prince
Hawkins, of the Reno law firm of
Cheney, Price & Hawkins, and defend
ant by Sardis Summerfeld. city at

ORRIN JOHNSON IN A
STIRRING DRAMA TONIGHT

Relentless, pitiless, self-seeking -
an autocrat who has forced his way
from the penury of Russian peasant
ship to the power of an American
steel king - Vladimir Krestovsky
smears the pallid paste of poverty
over the mill slaves who are his
brothers.
In his luxury, he forgets also his
wife and daughter, stranded in far
off Russian hovel, and re-marries a
society leader.
Then, when his second wife dies.
comes a realization-with pangs of
,onscience and remorse.
He seeks to forget his past in art,
and one masterpiece so clears his
vision that he sees THE Light at
Dusk" and is shown the way.

COTTONSEED MEAL is
INTRODUCED AS SHEEP FOOD

The present high price of sheep.
together with the extreme cold, en-
failing the risk of enormous losses,
is resonsible for the introduction in
this section of cottonseed meal as a
sheep food. A carload was received
a day or two ago from California and
is being distributed among buyers.
Albert Remusat had few tons taken
to his range in Pleasant valley by
auto today. 1t is to be fed TO ewes,
which are valued now at S14 each.
II is said that daily ration of three
ounces for each sheep is sufficient.

IMMENSE DAMAGE
BY JACKRABBITS

II. II. Alexander was in town yes
terday from his Jackson creek ranch
and was in consultation with e. II.
Sands, in charge of the Biological
Survey headquarters here, concern
ing the jackrabbit nuisance. Mr.. AL
exander claims that the range is be-
ing destroyed In his locality by the
nests and that unless drastic meas
ures are at once employed for their
determination. the rabbits will destroy
all crops the coming spring.
Mr.. Sans states that his department
has three men who devote their en-
tire time to the determination OF jack
rabbits-Joseph Keyes. now in Elko
county; w. C. Jacobson, at present in
White Pine county. and r. A. Ward,
working in Oregon. About a month
ago all three men were giving dem
onstrations in this county and formed
farmers clubs at Rebel Greek and
Paradise Valley. At the latter place
233 rabbits were killed one night,
with one ounce Of strychnine. at the
william Stock ranch. Mr.. Sans has
no appropriation for the purchase of
strychnine, but will furnish the men
10 work the demonstrations. At pres
ent strychnine is quoted at s1.15 per
ounce, wholesale. at San Francisco.
Elko county has taken the matter
up and has supplied its farmers with
300 ounces of the poison. Mr.. Keyes,
In charge of the work there, states
that they are killing on an average
1000 rabbits a night. The question
of providing the poison will probably
be brought up at the February meet
ing of the Humboldt county board.
The local office of the Biological
Survey has sent out the following
formula:
Poisoned Alfalfa Leaves
Dissolve one ounce of strychnine
sulphate in two gallons of hot water
and sprinkle over ten pounds of al
falfa hay leaves. Mix the leaves thor
oughly until all moisture is absorbed.
The poisoned leaves should be dis
tributed in small handfuls in lines a
few feet apart across portions of
utluo OOcti fdttOAo az
night show the rabbits to be feeding.
Stock should be excluded.
After snowfalls poisoned alfalfa
should be distributed only about
stock yards or previously baited poi
son corrals from which stock is ex-
cludeS. These corals should be bait
ed with small quantity of clean al
farfa hay a few nights previous to
poisoning. TO get the rabbits accus-
toned TO feeding there.
When using the corral method IN
der winter-weather conditions, the
quantity of alfalfa leaves in the above
formula may be increased to fourteen
pounds. In localities where alfalfa
is not raised. rye or emmer heads
may be substituted.
Caution
All utensils used in the preparation
of poisons, and all poison containers
should be kept plainly labeled and
out OF reach of children. live stock
and irresponsible persons.

May 1 to 6 is Baby Week. This ma
tionwide celebration was inaugurated
last year, when more than two thou
sand communities devoted q week to
reviewing the needs Of their babies.
The first suggestion Of q nationwide
celebration came from the federal
Children's bureau and the General
Federation OF Women's Clubs; they
believed that Baby Week was an ex-
cellent expedient for calling attention
to the great loss Of infant life and FOR
stimulating local baby-saving work.
Many people are still unaware Of the
fact that Of ali the babies born In the
United States, probably one in ten dies
before It has completed twelve months
Of life. Babies die In rural communi'
ties, in cities, in suburbs, and in small
towns. This great preventable waste
Of life is scattered over the entire
country, and Baby Week asks:
'How many babies die in your com
munity3 Is your infant mortality rate
the lowest that any American com
munity has yet achieved Do You re
alize that when all babies are well
born and well cared for, infant deaths
will 80 rarely occur that the infant
mortality rate will be negligible

daughter Marjorie, and swung them
around the room in the excuberance
Of his JOY.
"Our franchise to the water pow

''But we are very happy here,

ously. eve might lose our happiness
in New York"
"No, no." cried John, "we'll be
happier than ever in New York,
where can get into the big business

A year later, in New York, John
neglected his wife in his fight for
success. With his own stock and his
wife's stock in the concern, he was
easily the dictator of the big de-
velopment company, but his wife,
mourning lonely at home, did not

"I'll get the control for you for a
half million dollars" said Mordant.
And Hurd argeed to the price.
Grace's rebellion at her husbands

What is your community doing to make
life safe and wholesome for its ba-
bies?'
But Baby Week has done more than
remind people Of the importance OF
these questions. It helps people who
are already at work on the saving OF
babies lives to explain to their fellow
citizens what they are doing, and en-
ables them to extend their efforts. It
draws closer together the various
agencies which have been working
from different angles and furthers the
cooperation which is essential to sue
cess.
Perhaps most significant Of all is the
effect Of Baby Week in small villages
and scattered settlements and other
places where there has been no or
ganized effort to meet the needs Of
babies. People have come to see. az
few had done before, that even In the
fresh air and the sunshine Of the open
country many babies do not have fair
start In life.
The seven hundred villages which ~
ported to the Children's bureau Baby
Week campaign in 1915, have faced the
fact that every eommunity-ln city and
country aNke-has q responsibility ia
fulAll which requires thought and e
fort and perseverance,. And this awak.
ening Of . community has been u
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-05-03

many cases accomplished by a cam
paign undertaken by some small group
who co-operated for the first time In
arranging their Baby Week. One cam
paign In q Southern mountain village
was launched and carried through by
one woman alone, tuberculosis pa
dent. She arranged for meetings and
secured literature on baby care, which
was distributed In the two stores Of the
town.
OF course Baby Week can effect no
immediate revolutions in community
care, but it has proved an excellent
starting point for new and permanent
work.
Perhaps q Westinghouse service Is
organized, because the women OF the
community come to realize during
Baby Week that there is no other way
in which they can be instructed so cas-
lily and SO well in the modern science
Of baby care. They see, perhaps more
clearly than before. that the mother
who depends on instinct and tradition
in regulating her baby's food and cloth
ing and sleeping and all the details OF
the baby's day is behind the times.
They see, further, that intelligent care
not only will prevent illness but Will
simplify their own daily work.
Or perhaps Baby Week leads to a
determination to have complete birth
registration In the community, with a
committee to carry on test and assist
the local officials in enforcing the birth
registration law. :
or classes are started in the public
school for the instruction Of girls In
domestic science and In baby care.
Baby Week, especially in small COM
munities, is frequently concerned with
little children as well as babies, and
several reports tell Of provision for
physical examination Of children or OF
new interest in wholesome play. AS
one woman wrote to the Children's Blu.
reau after Baby Week:
I'VE feel that the danger from con-
tagious diseases, the need of strict
quarantine, the danger from flies, bad
milk, unclean stables, and bad farm
sanitation need publicity in rural com
munities. Our whole county does moi
boast Of one kindergarten, and the idea
Of the value Of play for children, both
young and older, is very poorly under
stood. A popular proverb in these
parts is Only babies and monkeys need
amusing It was very interesting tt
see the play-hungry, gchildren hover
over the toy exhibit and to watch then
as they listened to the primary teacher
tell them stories. The young mother:
who brought their children seemed 81
interested, and 50 frankly acknowl
edged the helpfulness Of the work, tina
1t seemed altogether worth while"
And last but not lease, Baby Weel
has usually led to better understand
ing Of the child-hygiene work Of tn
state health authorities. -Four state
have special child-hygisne divisions
and several others are doing extensive
work for children. Nearly all Of tn
states have special bulletins or leaf
let's on baby care. To show parent
