The effect Of the war upon condi-

such cities as st. Louis, Kansas City,
Minnea polls. Milwaukee. Columbus and

posal to impose a ten per cent tax on
baseball receipts and, above, all. the
probable conscription of thousands Of
fans are elements that may induce tn"
magnates to throw up their hands.
II might be added that there will be
nothing TO prevent the conscription of
baseball players. The law does not
exempt these athletes from service.

DECORATION DAY BASEBALL.

Editor Missoulian:
An article in The Missoulian Of Sat
urday morning makes il appear that
the Missoula Chamber of Commerce
does not believe that baseball should
be played on Decoration day. Is it.
then, to be unpatriotc for red blooded
Americans to do anything but pull long
faces on this day which is dedicated
to the most vigorous Americans of us
all? I am not wanting in respect for
the brave lads who fought for their
country in &c and 'l2 and AS and 'G1
and 49, but do not believe that it is
right to frame blue laws for Decora-
ton day. Neither do I believe that
those good Americans who laid down
their lives for their flag in the nation
great wars would sympathize with this
movement. Let us by all means hon or
our heroic dead, but let us also show
that Americans have not lost the vigor
that makes them love real sport or
real fight, whichever may be the order
OF the day.

Former Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon is
likewise appreciative Of the kindly
comment of his editorial friends on his

Their good wishes will be carried into
lasting memory.
The comradarie OF the newspaper

the old days when Colonel John B.

Sam Gordon fired shrapnel shells into
each others trenches and forgot all

its workings.
To save the fourth potato much
labor will be needed in our valley and
W" suggest that the volunteers be en-
listed into a Missoula Branch of Save
the Fourth Potato and offer their
services in the potato fields. We can
enlist them all after July l. pay cur

IS MONTANA IDEAL.
Editor Missoulian:

Editor Missoulian:
Thursday mornings Missoulian con.
tains an editorial touching upon the
educational campaigning in the inter.
ests Of better health for the babies.
Unfortunately that article leaves q
wrong impression concerning the ideal
conditions supposed to obtain in Mon
tana.
In 1914 New York city--rear tcne-
ments. germ laden air and all--had an
infant death rate of - per 1000. Mon
tan;l, with all her advantages recorded
IS per 1000. And in 1915 New York
city's record in spite of the infantile
paralysis epidemic (there speaks con.
certed cffortD was better than the
preceding year.
Montana bears n bad reputation also
in another particular perta ining to the
interests OF babies upon DR.. Cogswelis 3
own admission ion--secretary OF the state
board Of health--birth statistics are
very inadequate in Montana. From a
limited investigation conducted in
Missoula two years ago it was con-
cluded that fully 20 per cent of births
went unrecorded. Who can guess what
it might be in the county? or the state
at large? With an Inaccurate birth
registration we have no means Of
knowing how many babies we lose per
1000 born: how we stand in compari-
son with other communities. or how
applicable to our own case may be
the lessons they have learned.
Nor is ignorance and indifference the
prerogative OF any particular class or
condition: conditions found in some Of
the best" homes are often appalling.
Indeed, perhaps baby week is most
valuable in the incentive it gives each
and every one of us to re consecrate
ourselves anew to striving for that
unattainable ideal. the one hundred
per cent perfect mother"
