STRONG Statement
Made BY DIR. Locke, County Health
Officer at Meeting of the Com.
mittee on Health and Child
Welfare Last Evening at
the Public Library.

That over ninety per cent. of the
school children of Mason county who
have been examined up to this time,
have physical defects that unless cor
rected will impair their efficiency in
later life, was the startling statement
made by DR.. Locke, County Health Of
ficer, at the meeting of the committee
on Health and Child Welfare held last
evening at the Public Library
This meeting was primarily for the
purpose of placing more perfectly be-
fore the members of this committee,
who represent some particular line of
welfare work, the purpose and plans
of the government census for children
under five years of age which is to be-
gin in this county May 13.
Precinct Committees have been APP
pointed in every ward in the city and
each voting precinct in the county and
the chairman of each of these com
mttees has agreed to be responsible
for the work in her district
These precinct chairmen have been
called to meet at the First Presbyter-
ian Church this afternoon at 1:30
when some of the details will be ex-
planned.
This campaign is conducted under
the auspices of the Children's Bureau
of the Federal Government and ev-
cry child's height and weight is to be
recorded. A copy of the record will
be given the parents so that when
physical defects are apparent, they
can have the proper attention given
their child.
Next week will be devoted to ad-
vertising and other preliminary work
and on the following Monday the can
vass will begin.

TO WHEAT GROWERS OF MASON
COUNTY

1t has come to our attention that
some of the wheat growers are con-
templating pasturing their wheat and
feeding it down to hogs. The country
will need every bushel of wheat that
can be produced, and, under no cir
cumstances should this be done. Keep
stock of all kinds out of the wheat.

ANOTHER HUN DRIVE

New York, May 4-Having met with
a reverse in their operations on the
northern side of the Flanders salient,
where the French and British have
stood shoulder to shorulder in defense
of Ypres and the high ground which
form bulwark in front of the chan
mel ports, the Germans have, as indi-
Gated by the mosa recent reports,
turned to the southern side of the
angle in the Allied lines in northern
France. On Thursday night and Fri
day, the German artillery seemingly
centered its fire on the line between
Givenchy and the Neippe forest, and
it may be that the enemy soon will
launch an attack against this vital
section of the British line.
Dispatches from the British head
quarters tell of a tremendous can
nonade in the Lys region, which may
be taken to mean theft part Of the
Flanders battle field at or near Mer-
vile, where the Germans made their
greatest advance after the fall of
Armentieres.

Assurances that for the present at
least nonessential industries would not
be disturbed were given recently at
conference of Uncle Sans new war
service committees which have been
appointed to cooperate with the coun-
Gil of national defense. The object
was touched on by Daniel Willard,
chairman of the war industries board;
DIR. Fl. A. Garfield, fuel administrator,
and w. S. Clifford, director of the coun-
Gil of national defense. Mr.. Willard
pointed out that some industries are
and will be more essential than others
in the winning of the war. Doctor
Garfield said that list had been pre-
sented to him of between 500 and 600
industries, in one of which $1,000,000
600 was invested. and which were call
ed nonessential industries. The COM
mittees which met in conference rep
resent all the different industries in
the country, one committee being ap-
pointed for each class Of industry.
