HUNTING LICENSE.

According TO the tenets of the
new hunting laws for the State, a
giSt of which has just been sent out,
the regulations are considerably
different this year from what they
have been in the past, in that this
year every person who is entitled
to hunt must take out a license from
the county clerk and the fee for
such license is $1.0O. These licen-
ses are all that is needed by a resi-
dent of the Stale, while the license
for those who are non-residents is
$1,000. Last year there was State
license which cost $500 but this
was eliminated from the law by the
last session of the Legislature and
the one license which cost S1.00 is
all that is needed for any section of
the State by resident.
SO long as man gets permission
from the owner of the land on
which he desires to hunt all he has
to do is to have the license which
formerly cost moth ing for a resi-
dent. In spite of the fact that there
has been a general clamor all over
the State for licenses this year none
have been issued yet because of the
controversy as to who is the State
Game Warden, matter which is
now before the Supreme Court, and
which may not be settled for some
weeks.

PRESIDENT AND HINES CONFER.

Early action to settle unrest in
The ranks Of railroad employees
who have been demanding new
wage increases was forecast We'd
nesday.
After a lengthy conference with
the representatives OF the six shop
crafts, Director-General Hines went
to the White House to discuss with

While no announcement was made
it was understood that the entire
question was reviewed, including
the obvious necessity for an
increase in rates or another con-

funds for any wage advances that
may be made since the administra-

every month this year due to the
falling off in business and the high

reach final decision in the near
future, indicating that he will ord
er into effect any changes in the
wage scale without referring the

GEaMANY'S NEW CONSTITUTION.

The new German constitution,
adopted by the National Assembly
after months of debate, which be-
came effective last week, is divided
into two main parts, the compost
ton and ties of the empire" and
the basic rights and basic duties
of Germans" The preamble be-
gins:
"The German people, united in
its branches and inspired by the
will to renew and strengthen its
empire in freedom and Justice, to
further inner and outer peace and
social advance, has voted this con-
stitution."
Section 1 sets forth that the Ger
man Empire is a republican state,
sovereignty being based on the peo-
pie. 1t describes the territorial
limits, prescribes imperial colors
black, red and gold accepts
the generally recognized rules of
international law.
The ReichStag, Superseding the
temporary National Assembly, will
be elected for term of four years.
The President will be chosen by the
entire German people instead of by
the Assembly and will hold office
seven years.
The Reichstag is given the right
to impeach the President, Chancel-
lor and Ministers.
The second main part of the Con-
stitution provides that all Germans
shall be equal before the law and
that men and women shall have
basically the same rights and du-
ties. Preferential rights and draw
backs of birth and position are re-
moved and title of nobility is
considered only part of person S
name. No more titles of nobility
will be conferred, and such as are
awarded will pertain to a persons
occupation or will be academic
titles. No token of honor NAV be
given out by the government and
no German may accept title or
order from a foreign state.

WHY A COMMUNITY SHOULD
HAVE A RED CROSS PUB
Lie HEALTH SERVICE.


One in every five babies die be-
fore its first birthday.
Contagious diseases kill 100000
| children every year and perman-
emily Injuries countless others.
One in every ten men and women
die of tuberculosis in the prime of
life.
More women die in childbirth
| than any disease, except tubercu-
losiS.
Countless numbers of men, wo-
men and children are hampered
and distressed by i'll health.
The Community Nurse is one of
/ the best agents for the protection
! of life and health.
When the influenza epidemic
, swept across the country many a
| community awakened too late to
; its unpreparcdncss and discovered
that it had no public health nurse
to help fight its battles against the
invading hosts of disease.
The Community Nurse cares for
! the sick, projects the we'll, and
teaches the principles Of good
health to all.
The best dollar any community
can spend is the dollar it invests
in conservation of community life
and health. 1t yields bigger re-
| turns.
The big cities have long since
recognized this fact, and have sup
piled themselves with large staffs
of public health nurses. Is the life
of the city baby, the city boy and
girl, the city mother and father,
more precious than the life of your
baby, your boy, your wife, your
mother?
The Community Nurse is form
of insurance which no community
can afford to be without.
She watches over the expectant
mother and is the guardian Of all
babies. Saving baby costs the
public so little; losing baby costs
the mother so much"
She is the defender of all school
! children in her community. By
! periodical inspection she protects
! the we'll from the sick, and checks
the spread of contagious diseases.
She also detects any faults in ply
sical development. Had such in
spection taken place twenty years
ago, onc-third of our young men
would not have been rejected for
military service on account of ply
Sical defects, many of which could
have been prevented in childhood.
Who among you can answer
either to him, or to your God, if
you LET your child grow up with q
handicap which might have been
removed?
She organizes the boys and girls
of the ncighborhood into health and
hygiene leagues, and beStowcs upon
them two priceless gifiS-a knowl-
edge Of the laws of health, and
good hygicnic habits. They learn
to value and protect that brthright
of every child, sound. clean and
{ strong body.
She searches out the young man
or woman with incipicnt tubcrcu-
losis; brings him the glad tidings
that his disease can be arrested and
helps him TO find The way to the
salvation of his health, before it is
too late. She is The Lookout on
the Mountain;' giving the first
warning of the approach of the
enemy-DiSedSe.
She cares for the sick in the com
munity, bringing trained skill and
gentle, deft hands to supplement
the doctors knowledge and the
family's devotion.
