CHILD WELFARE COMMITTEE Is
GIVEN APPOINTMENT.

Mrs. Altree (chairman) Mrs. Mar
garet Wright and Mrs. w. j.. Hanson
have been appointed as Child Welfare
committee for the city Of American
Falls. This committee is authorized
by the government as a war measure
anS during the month of July the COM
mltees in every community are ex-
pected 10 arrange for a weighing and
measuring test of all children under
school age.
The government demands that this
work be done M that it should be
done thoroughly. Experts on child
welfare work and prevention Of infant
mortality have prepared this program
after careful study of the experiences
Of the European countries at war. The
committees are urged tor enter into
the work enthusiastically through UNI
questioned loyalty to Uncle Sam.
Five hundred cards were received
Saturday and have been mailed to the
chairmen Of the different voting pre-
cincts The children's bureau has
been Obliged to limit the number Of
cards IL can supply to five million on
account Of the great difficulty in get
ting paper: the printing office being
clOgged with war orders that had
prior claims, etc. The state chair
man. Mrs. Lizzie b. Dickie, received
10000 for Idaho and has sent them
out to county chairmen. 1t will be
necessary to have more cards printed
at u local expense.
Some committees will want to keep
panprH 80 al l.Ls.. ..-st-
measured. In any case a permanent
record is TO be kept of every child
found to be under weight for his
height. This is very essential in or
der that the fOllow-up work may be
undertaken. A count is to be made of
the total number Of children weighed
and measured in Power county and a
copy of such will be sent to the state
chairman. Above all it should con-
tinually be remembered that 100 per
cent birth registrations in each COM
munity is n of the goals for the diff
ferent committees where this has not
yet been accomplished.
This year. commencing April C.
1918 to April 6, 1919, is Children's
Year, a year in which every effort
will be made to save the lives Of the
100000 babies who die annually in
this country Of p%reyentable diseases.
Every individual is called upon by the
government to help in this great work.
Power county has been asked to
have a children's conference during
the year and if we are loyal and in
terested as we should be perhaps we
could have a children's convention dur
ing our county fair.
When the report Of Power county
is to be sent to the woman's commit
tee and the children's bureau it is to
be hoped it will show the great edu-
c%ational effect of the testing and con
sultation held in connection and the
follow-up work which will be carried
on for the rest of the year for the
benefit of children found to be below
par and for the benefit of all children.
will give us the result in life saving
which is the purpose of the Children's
Year.

Power County Chairman Of Child
Welfare.

Flowing Hills, Hummocks
and Corners

YOU should know the wonderful f~exibility of the
l. Parrett tractor.
The front axle is supported on a pivot that allows
this axle to swing freely up and down, making It
possible for the tractor to 60 fearlessly and freely
over hills and ummock and to adapt itself readily
to rough, uneven ground. In addition, its extremely
short turning radius enables it to plow right into the
corners of the field.
You may be sure that the Parrett will do the work on your
farm. Even the tough sod of the North and the rice swamps
of the South have held no terrors for the Parrett. Under these
extremes of soil conditions it has pulled three Ia bottoms
steadily day in and day out at a speed of ~ miles per hour.
The Parrett can run a 20 to 26 inch separator or do any
other kind of power chores demanding equal power. 1t burns
kerosene-and that means all of the kerosene, burning 1t
economically and efficiently. Furthermore, it has a sensitive
ball governor that Hooverizes the fuel at every change in
speed or power requirement, making it impossible to use more
fuel than is needed for the job in hand.
And it will only take one man or one boy to operate both
the Parrett and the implement behind it. Its seH-steering IN
the furrow. No special hitch is required to work with Parrett
power. 1t is just a good common-sense, nightly efficient
power unit for all kinds of work on your farm.
Let us prove it further by giving you a demonstration.
Anytime you say.

HOW WAR STAMPS HELP,

Many are content to buy War Saw
ings stamps because they wish to be,
loyal to all Government requests, but
do not clearly understand why the re-
quest is made. The reasons for it are
as follows:
Subscriptions to Government payer
supply the Government with money
They establish the habit of thrift and
lay the foundation for safe passage
to after-war conditions. Most import
ant Of all, they mean an immediate
saving Of goods and services which
the Government urgently needs. }The
supply Of material and labor is limit
ed; the Governments present demand
for them is unlimited. War Stamps
purchases put necessities into the Gov
,ernment's hands instead of luxuries in
to private hands. The person who
buys a War Savings Stamp in Sep
tember puts $4.20 where he cannot
spend it for useless clothing, trinkets
or amusements, and where the Gov,
ernment will use it for such prime
necessities as airplane fuel or rifle
cartridges.
The $4.2O will help the nation to
victory, and by January /, 1923, it will
have grown to SIS, with an honorable
history which ought to make the own
er lucky.

Leper John Early Escapes and Re
turns to North Carolina.

John R. Early, leper, escaped the
other day from his isolated prison on
the Potomac river in the District of
Columbia and was captured on the
18th at Tryon, this State. He claims
North Carolina as his native State
and the District of Columbia officials
want him to remain in NORTH Caro-
lima; now that they are rid Of him
they do not want the responsibility
of his keep longer if they can avoid
it. But he is not wanted in North
Carolina, either. When he made the
trip from Washington to Tryon he
used money he had had on his person
some years, and wore clothers he had
worn for a long time, and there is
! danger of his having communicated
the disease to people who came in con-
j tact with him on the trip, or who oc-
cupy the berth on the sleeper that he
occupied.

Flora Macdonald Girls Are Earn
est War Workers..

At an enthusiastic meeting the 9TH
er evening at Flora Macdonald college
at Red Springs the young ladies de-
cided to take over for the year the
work heretofore done by hired maids
and with a part OF the money thus
saved they will endow hospital bed
in one Of the wards under the care
of the National Geographical society
of Neuilly, France. The work under.
taken by the students includes sweep
ing, dusting and general care of the
halls, classrooms, parlors, library, etc.
in addition to the cleaning Of then
own rooms. Each member of the fac
ulty has obligated to take entire care
Of her own room. Flora Macdonald
girls already are providing for
French orphans and are again picking
cotton for the Red Cross.

With one we'll placed shot he knocked
two Germans out of church steeptc
from which they were firing a ma
chine gun.
A lieutenant shot through the palm
of the left hand by an explosive prl-
let, was sent to hospital but escaped
and walked six miles back to the field.
He appeared at his tank with the
statement that he could "carry IN
with his right hand.
Several others were wounded but
remained on duty. No one was killed,
however, even though German six
inch shell ploughed clear through a
small tank, destroying it but injuring
only one of the crew. Another tank
captured battery of "77s" but was
SO far ahead of the infantry, it could
not turn the guns over to them.
The story is told of another tank
which went into a town with a SER
gean,t armed with rifle, perched on
the turrett. This machine captured
two batteries of "77s", five machine
guns and many men.

of a medicine has sprung into such
popular favor in so short time.
People everywhere have been quick to
recognize it's wonderful merit. The
demand for it has been nothing shcrt

In Dallas, Texas, where Tanlac was
placed on sale about eight months ago,
over 10000 bottles have been sold,
which according to druggists Of that

Seventy-five per cent Of the sugar
used in this country has to be car
ried here in ships. These same ships
are needed to transport our troops,
our munitions, and the food for the
Allies and our soldiers and sailors,
to France. Part of these sugar
carrying ships have been transferred
to more important carrier service. This
has resulted in a largely lessened i'm
port tonnage Of sugar and this means
a shortage of sugar here
Our soldiers and sailors and the

Negro Soldier Captured German

A Paris Associated Press dispatch
of the 17th gives the following:
During the recent American advance
out Of Cheteau- Thierry, Red Cross
captain was looking about for suitable
hospital sites when he met an Ameri-
can negro soldier marching along to-
wards Chateau -Thierry following
closely behind German major. The
negro had transferred his pack, from
his own back to the back of the Ger
man officer and had also transferred
the German majors monocle to his
own eye. Thus equipped the black
warrior was parading triumphantly
down the road. AS he passed the
Red Cross captain he called out:
