GROW STRAWBERRIES.

We are now in the midst of a straw
berry campaign and our object is 20
men who will set an acre each this
spring. agreeing to handle them in all
respects according to direction of the
Department of Agriculture. We now
have 6 acres subscribed and shall be
glad to hear from any, one whom we
have not seen who wants to enter this
enterprising industry which will mean
so much for the future of the agricul-
ture of our county. Without as many
as twenty acres to begin with we do
not feel that we can start the project,
but with that many we can demand a
market. ship comparatively and thereby
mako some money. AS any one knows
there is always a market for straw
berries and the returns are from 5000
to 5000 per acre.

NATIONS
Italy Given Sovereignty Over
Strategic Islands Off Coast

WILSON and ORLANDO COME TO7ERMS
WILSON AND ORLANDO COME TO1ERMS

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Ad-
vices from Paris are to the effect
that an agreement has been reached
upon the questions raised in the
Peace conference upon conflicting
claims on the eastern shore of the
Adriatic Sea. President Wilson and
Premier Orlando have composed
their differences, and Italy has COM
promised her claims in great part,
receding from her demands in some
particulars, while receiving compen-
sations in other directions. In the
same way President Wilson has car
ried his most important points, while
conceding on matters where no ques-
tion had been raised.
Under the terms of the agreement
as outlined the City of F1ume, with
exception Of a small suburb, and the
region to the west, are erected an in
dependent state under the league OF
nations. This state will be surround
ed by Italian territory, but will
include the railway reaching into
Dalmatia, at Laibach, giving the
western part of the Jugo-Slav coun-
try the port so greatly desired upon
the Adriatic. Italy will be given
sovereignty over Zara and Sebenico,
on the Adriatic, renouncing any other
part of the Dalmatia coast and the
back country; and will exercise
sovereignty over several islands of
strategic Importance, off the Dalma-
tion coast. These islands will give
Italy that strategic position on the
east shore that she claims to be a
necessitive to her safety. Moreover
Italy will be given the mandate of
the league of nations in Albania, in
which country Italy was guaranteed a
preponderating in fluence under the
terms of the treaty of London.
Before coming to the arrangement
outlined President Wilson had a con-
ference with the Jugo-Slav delegates
to the Peace Conference, and as
result of his interview with them he
was prepared to give his consent to
the arrangement made with Premier
Orlando later in the day.
These arrangements are reported
as settled between representatives of
all interests affected, and will be en-
bodied in the terms of peace that will
be presented to the Austrian dele
cation next Monday. They are ac-
cepted all around as offering relief in
very ugly situation.

HOT LUNCHES
FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN

Hot lunches served in a school for
a selected group Of Is children is
producing noteworthy results. The
inspiration for this movement came
from a school nurse in one of our
larger Arizona towns. After weigh
ing 325 children in this Mexican
school, it was found that according
DR.. Holt's standard, 80h were under
weight and 80 children were dis
tinctly undernourished. 1t was from
these 80 that the 25 were selected
to receive hot lunches as a demon
stration of what can be done for the
welfare of the children. Gains in
weight in practically every child and
improvement in interest and ap-
plication to his school work, are
ample proof that the movement is
worth while. The lunch is furnished
free and the menus are chosen by
the Home Demonstration Agent and
prepared under her supervision by a
club of Mexican mothers. 1t is hoped
that because of this demonstration
hot lunches will be provided next
year for all the children.
This same nurse has organized a
New Hygiene League. 1t was start
ed in a school where the appearance
of the skin of the children was
evidence that baths were unknown.
It. is most encouraging to find that
many children are having baths in
little one room homes with only a
small tin pail as tub. She
hesitattd starting the League in
this school because she knew the
absolute lack of bathing facilities.
However, the educational value is
much greater if the child can be in
duced to have baths in his own home
even if the bath tub is only tin
basin. This hygiene work is especial
ly interesting and this one school,
which was exceedingly dirty, is now
one of the cleanest in the town. The
children are all Mexicans, but they
show a decided interest in personal
hygiene. This is a forward step in
Amerieanization as we'll as in public
work, and proves that, our Mexican
neighbors are willing to adopt some
of our health ideas even though it
must be done under difficulties.

HOW MERCHANT
MARINE is BEING
AMERICANIzED

Washington, D. c., May 3O.-It is
remarkable that of the thousands of
men being recruited for the American
merchant marine, 60 per cent come
from States not ON the seaboard.
With the single exception of Mas
SchuSettS, none of the seaboard
States is furnishing as many men to
the new merchant marine as such in
terror States as Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois.
This proportion of 60 per cent has
held good throughout the campaign,
which to date has recruited $4,000
men for sea service since the first
training station was placed in opera
ton in January, 1918.
The fact that so many of the re-
cruits are coming from the interior,
where the percentage of native-born
population is highest, in large degree
accounts for the Americanization of
the merchant marine being so
rapidly accomplished. At the out
break of the war, 70 per cent of the
men on American merchant ships
were forign born. In March, 49 "
per cent of the men recruited for sea
service were native-born Americans.
This percentage would be consider
ably increased if those who have been
naturalized were Included
Another evidence of the American
ization of the merchant marine is
found in the figures of the Marine
Firemen's Union membership. Prior
to the war, less than so of the men,
bers of this union We're American
citizens; today the percentage is
more than 80.
To train men for sea service, the
Shipping Board has established
twenty-six schools for officers
navigation and engine room, and
nine training stations for seamen.
There are now 600 students in the
officers schools, while the seamen's
training stations have an attendance
of about 5000. The term is two
months. The service is made at
tractive for the seamen in that they
have opportunity to win places as
officers. If a seaman has had a high
school education, he is eligible to
enter an officers school after one
year of sea service. Pay is as high
as $4,000 per year for navigation
officers and $3,450 in the engine
room, with quarters and food.
1t is estimated that there are now
100000 men in the service Of the

Good COMMERCIAL
WORK BY NOCALES
CHAM Der OF
COMMERCE

The Nogales Chamber of Com
merce has announced that Chairman
Frank J. Barry of the special Com
mittee on Trade Development Re-
solutions has approved three sets of
resolutions for publication by the
secretary.
! Resolution requesting the elimina-
tion of present passport regulations,
as they affect Mexico, is directed to
the State Department and to the
Senators and Congressman of the
border states.
The U. S. Railroad Administration
is requested formally to permit the
operation of Pullman sleepers over
the lines of the S. P. de Mexico, ana
in another set of resolutions directed
to the members of Congress, Depart
ment of Commerce, and Department
of immigration, the Nogales Chamber
urges that pending legislation before
Congress that will require a bond
from foreigners entering this country
be changed so as to permit free
entry of Mexicans. The reason for
the latter request is that such legis-
lation would have detrimental eff
feet upon the development of Amer
ican trade with Mexico and might re-
suit in retalitory legislation by that
country to the embarrassment of
American business.
All three %ets of resolutions are
based upon the fact that the develop
ment of foreign trade and commerce
is generally acknowledged to be of
paramount interest for the continued
prosperity and trade influence of the
United States.
While Secretary Gil Rankin has
been working vigorously on these
subjects and has secured the CO.
operation of other border chambers
and of numerous national organiza-
tions, it was deemed necessary to ex-
press in definite form the desire of
the Nogales Chamber of Commerce
in order that other trade organiza.
tions may be requested to submit to
the proper officials similarly worded
resolutions

HERALD AWARDED MEDAL BY
UNITED STATES

"For valuable assistance rem
dered during the Liberty Loan
campaigns the Herald has been
, awarded a medal by the Treas
ury Department of the United
States. The medal is made from
a captured German cannon and
is about the size of half dollar
piece. The face of the medal is
a reproduction of the Treasury
building supported by a spread
ing eagle. On the back is the
following inscription, Awarded
by the U. S. Treasury Depart
ment for Patriotic Service in Be-
half of the Liberty Loan.
"The Herald worked faithfully
during all Liberty LOAN cam
paigns and the token of ap-
probation from the Government
will be treasured"
For pure, unadulterated BUNK
the foregoing takes the cake. 1t re.
calls the old definition of Goldfish
"One who pins herring
to his coattail and imagines himself
a whale"
The fact is that every newspaper
in Arizona received just such media
as the Herald cackles so such about
THE OASIS received one in the
same mail as the one described came
to the Herald. THE OASIS editor
gave his to his little grandson he
being the only member of a large
family of several generations without
a war medal of some kind.
The facts are that the director Of
the Victory Loan drive for the
Twelfth Federal Reserve Banking
district sent out from San Francisco
to all the newspapers in that district
one of the little souvenirs. All oi
Arizona north of the Gila river is ir
that district, and in sending them out
the newspapers south of the Gils
were included, and with the others
THE OASIS and the Herald each re.
ceived one.
Nogales is in the Eleventh district
with headquarters at Dallas. The
medals to the newspapers in the
Eleventh are to come yet. Yesterday
THE OASIS received circular letter
from the director in the Eleventh
intimating that such souvenirs of the
Victory Loan are to be sent; and &
list of employees in THE OASIS Of
flee was asked. The list will be for
warded, and in a few days every
printer or pressman we have will be

position "made from captured Ger
man cannon"

the BUNK" the Herald is putting
out all the time, thinking it is delud
ing its readers. Self delusion is al
