The great old Buckeye State, Ohio,
is doing more these days for the good
of the boxing game than any other
State in the Union. and all because
Ohio law permits referees to give
decisions.
A boxing bout without a decision
! is much like banquet without food
there's whole lot lacking. But in
Ohio the boys can battle to de-
cision and because the referees are
permitted to render a verdict the box

take a much greater interest in the
sport
In the recent BrittonLewis bout

the ownership of the welterweight

FACTS ABOUT BABY WEEK
Better Care OF the Infant lie Purpose
Of Present National Campaign,
Says Or. Ravenel.

I'VE are about to celebrate Baby
Week throughout the United States,
and many people may ask why this is
an event Of national Importance. II
is important because the baby Of to-
day is the citizen of tomorrow, and
no country is virile which does not
look after its infant population, DR..
M. P. Ravenel of the department of
preventive medicine of the University
of Missouri declares. ut has been
well said, Infant mortality is the most
sensitive index we possess of social
welfare and of sanitary administra-
ton"
The present death rate amongst
babies is appalling. In the United
States, about one-fifth of all deaths
are of children under one year Of age
and in addition to this, approximately
one-fifth of all children. die before they
reach the age of one year. The Gen.
sus Bureau in 1911 estimated that 124
children out of every 1000 born died
during the first year of life. AS only
about two-thirds of the country has
registration of births and deaths, and
this comprises the more enlightened
population of the country, it is safe
to say that the actual death rate for
the entire country exceeds this. Even
with this estimate it means that $780,
900 babies die every year in this land
of enlightenment and abundance.
The design of Baby Week, then, is
to call attention to these facts, and
to teach mothers and people generally
the proper care of babies. The two
great factors in the early death rate
are ignorance and neglect. Poverty
plays large part. Poverty may not
be easily corrected, but ignorance and
neglect can be.
Throughout the country meetings
will be held, at which demonstrations
will be given, baby contests held, and
general interest aroused over the ne
cessity of caring for this part of our
population. Every one should take an
interest. Don't leave it entirely to
mothers. 1t is a matter of national
importance and vital interest to all.
National Baby Week will be held the
first week of May. In some commun-
tiles the date will be advanced so that
professors and teachers generally can
distribute their services over one
Or more communities.

Face.-Look for blemishes from op-

Eyes.-Before beginning an exami-
nation Of the eyes be sure that these
important an0 often unnoticeably de-

eyes, preferably of chestnut hue with

FACE HEAD AND SHOULDERS or. "A HORSE

The head of horse should be small,

be either too concave (dished) or
convex (bulglng) between the eyes, the
former suggesting timid disposition,
the latter strong will. power. Com
pare the sides of the face and note any
dissimilarity which may be due to dis
ease. The side view of the head should
show a comparatively straight line
from the poll to the nose. Extremely
heavy jaws are not desirable, especial
ly In horses of the lighter classes.
Mouth.--The mouth should be exam

In the condition known as parrot
mouth the front upper teeth overlap

mouth the lower front teeth overlap
those above. If either condition Is
present the horse is not able to bite

mouth with his lips, he would starve
on short pasture. Tongues held out
side the mouth are unsightly.
Muzzle.-The nostrils should be
large, clear, and pliable, with the in
side rose colored at rest and deep red

distended and hard should lead one to
suspect heaves, disease which is dis

Corn Must Make Up Deficit for
Grain, Dean Murford
Declares.
PRESENT CONDITION IS POOR
Latest Reports for State Show Crop
sc Per Cent Below the 10-Year
Average.

Corn must make up for the shortage
in the wheat and other grain crops ac-
Cording to statement which has been
recently made by Dean f. B. Num-
ford of the College of Agriculture Of
the University of Missouri.
The United States produced in 1915
ten bushels of wheat per CAPITA Dean
Mumford declares. "In 1916 we pro.
duced only six bushels per capita. In
1916 we consumed for seed and ordi.
nary consumption six and one-third
bushels per capita. There was .ex-
ported from American ports in 1916
two and one-half bushels per capita.
Recent estimates of the world crop
indicate that there is world shortage
in the present wheat harvest of nearly
300 million bushels.
THE present condition of wheat is
GO per cent of normal. Compared with
a 10-year average, it is Sc per cent
normal"
Because of the seant agricultural
production of the state for the last
year, the University faculty and board
of curators has recognized the neces-
sity Of raising the food production to
its maximum and for this reason have
given students the opportunity to "en-
list for the farm
