CARD INDEX OF CHILDREN.
Plans Under Way for Saving Lives of
10000 Before April 6, 1919.

Washington, D. c.. April 6.--Weighing
and meauring Of all American children
under five years of age will be the first
feature of children's year which open;
to-day under the direction OF the chill
dren's bureau of the United States de
partment of labor. This will be the
first of year of activities designed tt
protect children from the special dangers
of war time and save the lives OF l000ot
little children before April 8, 1919.
Instructions for carrying out the
weighing and measuring test are now
in the hands of local welfare chalrmen
who will be responsible for the test in
each community. Record cards have
been prepared by the department OF la
Dor and will be furnished for each child
These cards are in the form of return
postal card. On one end OF the card
data concerning the child will be record
ed and retained by parents while the
other portion of the card should be filled
ont and returned to the children's bureau
of the department of labor. The return
card will be franked as official govern
ment business and no postage viii be re-
quired.
MANY of the physical defects which
caused the rejection of one-third OF the
men coming up for examination III the
first draft are believed to have been due
to some slight trouble neglected in early
childhood, the children's bureau points
ont. and a higher standard of physical
fitness in the rising generation can be
assured only by greater attention to the
physical condition of children.
Weight and height and their relation
TO each other are a rough index of a
Young child's health and development,
the bureau saws. When child is strik-
inglv below the average weight for its
height or is small for its age, it indi-
Gates that expert advice about diet and
daily care is needed.
Insofar as the test makes it plain TO
parents that the physical condition of
their children needs attention, and inso-
far as it lends to community provision
for public health nurses and consultation
eenters for children, to a safeguarding of
the milk supply, and other measures for
the protection Of children, this test =
expected to aid in conserving their
health and reaching the goal Of 100000
lives saved during the children's year.
The record card gives table Of aver
age heights and weights for boys and
girls at birth. at every month OF age
from the sixth 10 the fortyeighth, and
al every year from the fifth to the six
teenth. Parents wishing to enter their
children in the national test should com
municste with their l9al chairman Of
the child welfare committee of their
state council Of national defense.

ORANGE COUNTY FARM
BUREAU.
Notes for Week Ending April 6.

w. J. Tubbs, farm management
demonstration, has spent the week with
the county agent. going over account
books placed in this county last seas IN
This county had more farmers keeping
accounts in the farm bureau account
books than any other in the state. One
hundred and six books were placed In =.
season and of these - were seen this
week. Forty of the - kept their books
About 30 of these are being summaril
at this time. This year 1872 books ha &.
been placed up to date.
Mr.. Tubbs spoke to the South Hill
Farmers club, Williamstown, and to
the Washington Farmers club on the
cost of milk production. His figures
we're based on the figures obtained frNm
farmers last summer 1t was a surprise
to many to find that the feed constitu d
but AZ per cent of the total cost of keep
ing a COW. Labor makes about one-half
of the remaining cost and miscellaneous
items the rest.
The time has expired for making in
come tax returns this year. In making
returns this past season many farmers
had to estimate many of the figures. 1t
is expected that the income tax collectc 5
will demand more accurate figures an.
other year Therefore it will be neeeS-
sary to keep some record Of the receipts
and expenses of the business. In re-
cent ruling by the commissioner OF in
ternal revenue, the increase in inventory
at the end of the year may be counted as
receipt In a similar way any decrease
in inventory may be counted an expense
In previous rulings the farm receipts
were not affected by a change in values
OF stock, tools or feed on hand at the
end of the year. This will be an al Il
incentive for farmers to take an inyen
tory of their business once year. Tue
account book which the county agent Las
put out this season is one of the hes
forms in which to keep figures for max
ing income tax returns. The summary
at the end of the year is practically the
same for the inventory needed. 1t :
not too late to start one OF these books
now. The county agent viii be glad Q
assist you in starting one OF these bo''lls.
He has a supply on hand for distribution
at cost of handling. Get in touch with
him at once if YOU want one,
Have you tested your seed corn yet?
Several who have reported to the farm
bureau Office that it is of very poor ger
mination. Due to the early frost a grc.t
deal of corn was cut before mature.

Brattleboro Slackers.

In every community the slackers and
pro. Germans ought to be rounded up
and classified Their names should be
known to all loyal citizens. There are
men in Brattleboro, for instance-few to
be sure--who pay income taxes but who
fail to come through with cent to help
the worthy war causes. These parasites
should be tagged. They are slackers. If
there are any residents and we believe
there are few here in rattleboro-who
are disloyal to America. in their talk,
they should be reported to the federal
authorities What some of these in
dividuals need is game of checkers, the
movements being made with their noses
on the little squares on the window of
cell as the checker board. --Brattleboro
