Bilbao Offers Opportunities.

Bilbao is said To be the wealthiest'
city in Spain, the wealthiest Of its size
in Europe. This is due to its large
deposits of iron ore and their close
proximity to tidewater. The province
in which it is situated has proven ore
fields of more than 1000 acres and
more than $4,000 acres are not yet de-
veloped. The ore is rich in iron, prac-l
tically free from phosphorus and is
easily worked-what is known in this
country as q scraper proposition. The
great war has vastly increased the
capitalization Of the concerns Operat
ing there and the banks of Bilbao have
deposits of s354, 7SS,719, apart from the
resources OF the Bank of Spain and
branches Of other powerful banks. The
field for development is great the cap
italists are progressive, labor is cheap.
Spain has remained neutral in the war,
though no friend of Germany, and 1t
is thought the Bilbao iron fields will
offer an attractive sphere for American
engineering talent and American cap
ital after the war.

Out of a Russian Prison.

Many of the commerce bureaus for
cign representatives have been obliged
10 carry on their work under trying
and often dangerous conditions during
the last four years, but the experience
of Roger i. Simmons, lumber trade
commissioner assigned to Russian ter
ritory before our entrance into the
war, has probably been unique.
Shortly after escaping from prison.
where he had been placed under SEN
fence of death, he wrote the bureau
the following brief account of the
progress of his lumber investigation
while in prison:
"1vhile in prison found two learned
foresters, several sawmiu owners
practical men, and former member of
the cabinet. Information received was
very valuable"
This shows an official avidity for
data that speaks for itself.-Commerce

cars and consequent dangers, the
safety of the public, whether the gen.
eral public has any thought of the

portant problem.
Akron, Ohio, has gone into the
question of educating children and
grown-ups. and the Boy Scouts. after
they have become familiar with safe
ty rules, are to assist in watching for
violations of rules.
These questions and answers have
been printed and will be carefully
distributed:
What should you do before
crossing a street?
I should stop and look both ways.
first to the left, as danger will likely
be nearer from that side, and then to
the right. If the street is clear for at
least half a block, then / can go ahead
and cross the street quickly.
2-Where is the proper place for
you or any one to cross the street?
At crossing: and ! should never
cross a street at any other point for
the reason that there Is less danger at
crossings than at any other point.
3-What precautions should you OBJ
serve in crossing railroad?
Look both ways-cross with the
watchman's signal. but never when
the gates are down. Stop. Look!
Listen.

Avoid Playing in Streets.

4-Why should you not play in a
street frequently used by automobiles
or other vehicles?
Because / am apt to bewilder the
drivers, thus making them lose con-
troll of their vehicles, which would be
dangerous not only to me, but also to
others.
5-What would you do If you were
standing in the middle of the street
and should see automobiles or other
vehicles coming both ways?
l should stand perfectly still and let
the vehicles pass around me, because
they ares not likely to run over me if
i do not move.
6-What danger is there in stealing a
ride on an automobile or other vehicle? :?
I am in danger of falling Off and
being injured, or 1 may be run over
by another vehicle when 1 jump Off.
This is a very dangerous practice and
l should avoid 1t.
In case a child or any one is in
jured by an automobile. what is the
first thing to do?
should secure assistance, notify the
child's parents, and stand ready to
assist in getting the injured one to
the nearest hospital as quickly as
possible.
s+Should you ever throw stones at
an automobile or other vehicle. and
why2
/ should never throw stone or
other missile at any vehicle because
/ might hurt some one. or damage
the vehicle, or cause the driver to lose
control, which might result in an ac-
cident, and for the reason that it is
against the law.
Assist Younger Children.
1Should you look after younger
children in crossing the streets, and
why?
should assist younger children in
crossing the street because they can
not think as quickly as l can and may
not realize the danger which threat
ems them.
1e-what should you not do If you
see an automobile or other vehicle
unattended standing on the street?
should not touch it or move any
of the levers, or blow the horn, or
even go near it. / might release a
brake or start the engine or do some
. thing else that would do damage. and
for the reason that it Is against the law.
11-When playing on street and
you see an automobile or other vehicle
approaching, what should you do?
I should step to the side of the street
or to the pavement until the vehicle
has passed.

Now is the time to plan fol the annual agr-
cultural Fair to be held in October. The sue
cess Of the Fair last year, and the interest mani
tested by the people Of the county, together
with the educational value Of such an exhibit,
has encouraged the State Agricultural Society
to appropriate 500 to be distributed for prem
iums in each county This will be supplement
ed by similar sum from the county, enabling
the Fair Association to offer attractive prizes to
exhibitors in all the classes, and to stimulate q
competition that will insure successful show
All district farmers organizations should call
special meetings and start right now to formu-
late plans for creditabe exhibit from each dis
trict Individual farmers should be encouraged
and urged to exhibit their products, and the dis
tricts, as unit should be represented by COM
munity booth. Last year the Fourth district
won the district prize without competition, and
they were entitled to it, but this should not be
allowed to occur again. The other districts
should begin their preparations now for COM
munity exhibit that will make the Fourth get
down and hustle if it wishes to retain its laures
as the banner district Of the county.

The Childs Welfare work, which is beiI

ne AnlluS WeIaIe WOIK, WHICH Is DEN
carried on at this time throughout the country,
will have highly beneficial effect upon our
next generation, If the necessary cooperation is
given by parents and others who have children
In their charge, and there will be less grounds
for the complaint that the government has dis
played far more interest in safeguarding the pigs
and calves than they have in conserving the
health and saving the lives Of the babies who
are destined to be our future citizens
The result Of the examination OF registered
men sounded an alarm which has resulted in the
organization Of a bureau, whose aim will be to
raise the physical standard Of American men
and women, and at the same time lessen the
mortality during infancy and in the years imme-
diately following.
One-third Of all the men examined failed and
were rejected, and the examining physicians are
the authority for the statement that large per-
centage Of such reflections were caused by de-
fects or ailments which existed, and could have
been cured during babyhood.
We have always been called nation of
wasters, and we have been forced to plead gull
ty to the charge, but exgencies of war have
forced us to mend our ways to the extent that
practically every family in America is practicing
the virtues Of economy
The examination Of registered men and our
vital statistics undoubtedly indict us on far
more serious charge than extravaganza and pro-
6gacy in food and wealth. We have wasted
human energy and sacrificed baby lives that
might have been saved to grow to maturity and
develop into useful citizens, had we only given
them the attention and expert knowledge that
the ChiIds Welfare Bureau will gladly place at
the disposal Of every mother in Amenca.
This work is now being inaugurated in St.
Mary's with the weighing and measuring Of all
children under s years and parents are strongly
urged to take advantage Of the opportunity d
not only ins,lang the physical improvement d
the little ones, but perhaps in saving the lives d
many babies who annually pay the penalty d
