INFANT PRODIGIES.

New York, May 15.-The funny man
has for manv years kept US fed up
with the precocious saying of Bos-
tons cultivated infants. The Public
Education Association of New York
has determined to prove that infant
prodigies are not limited to Boston.
Just as for many years there have
been classes for backward children,
there are now to be classes for eX-
ceptionally bright ones.
Three of these classes have already
been started in one public school and
one in another. Into the classes are
put the children who show peculiar
brilliance in one or several lines, with
the idea, not merely of giving them a
chance to develop unhampered by dull
associates, but to give them an all
around development such as the child

IMPERIAL PEOPLE
START OFFENSIVE
ON MUSKRATS

The boys and girls of the vicinity
of Imperial who have been catching
the destructive gophers, and filling
their Thrift Stamp books as a result,
will be interested to learn that the
gopher has an ally in his particular
line of activity who offers even a
more lucrative game than the gopher
This varmint is the muskrat. Water
Company No. 1 offers bounty of
twenty-five cents for each muskrat
caught. But that isn't all the none
tary value connected with the capture
of this game. The fur of the muskrat
is in great demand in the East by
manufacturers, who put the fur
through a process of diving which
transforms it into an imitation mink
The price they pay for the muskrat's s
fur is from 81 to so.
Here is what has already been done,
and what has been done, you know,
can be done again. George Harris,
father Of |. J. Harris, recently trapped
about fifty muskrats on their ranch,
north of town. The bounty amounted
to over $12. The skins were shipped
to Chicago. All but ten brought 81
each. The others were damaged and
brought less.
Lint Sanders, whose ranch coyers
120 acres and is. in the same neighbor-
hood. declares that there are about
100000 of these muskrats on his
place. and he would be so glad to get
rid of them that he will add fifty
cent bounty to the twenty-five-c cent
one given by the water company on
his own account. as an inducement to
the Young trapners of imperial and
vicinity to launch an offensive against
this pest which has infested his prem
ises.,
Hence. with the furs bringing from
81 to S1.5O. and the water company
and Mr.. Sanders paying, together,
seventy-five cents. here is an oppor-
tunitv for the school children to
earn their vacation money and more

UTAH OBSERVES
GOLDEN JUBILEE
OF RAIL WORK
(BY Associated Pressl

Ogden, Utah, May l5.-Utah today
is celebrating in this city the golden
jubilee of the driving of the golden
spike which commemorated the COM
pletion of the first transcontinental
railroad connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. Grizzled veterans OF
the West who either worked ~on the
Central Pacific or Union Pacific, or
who drove the teams that supplied
the workers, were the guests of hon
or. Many are here who remember
the race to build the Pacific railroad,
and there are some who tell of track
laying records made in the last few
days of the race which would make
construction engineers of today envi-
Gus.
There are present few who wit
messed the driving of the last spike
made of gold-at Promontory, fifty
miles west of Ogden.
Ogden is blaze of color. Every
downtown thoroughfare is ablaze with
flags and the lack of G. A. R. uni
forms indicates that a reunion of war
veterans is not taking place. 1t is
a reunion, however. and the partici-
pants to considerable extent are vet
erans-veterans of battle against
the desert and not of blood and bat
tie.
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
officials are here to participate in
the event, for it is their jubilee, as
well as that of the men who did the
work. A program of entertainment
was to take place during the day.
A monster procession will wind its
way through the city, in which were
to be series of allegorical floats de-
picting the building of the railroads
and the progress of the West.
The building of the Pacific Railroad
was begun at Omaha of the Union
Pacific, and at Sacramento, of the
Central Pacific, on January 8, 1868.
With the granting of a government
subsidy to the Pacific railroad, the
work was speeded up after numerous
delays and it became race to lay
the largest mileage of rails. The con-
test ended May 10, 1869, at Promon-
tory, fifty miles west of Ogden, at
which time trains from the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific met. The
Union Pacific had built 1886 miles
westward FRONT Omaha, the Central
Pacific having advanced 800 miles
eastward from Sacramento.
Governor Leland Stanford of Cali
fornia drove the last and golden spike,
aided by T. c. Durant, president of
the Union Pacific. Just before the
meeting of the rails both railroads
were employing $4,000 men and using
5000 teams in construction work, it is
said.
Utah historical records say that
Union Pacific engine No. 119 and the
General locomotive Jupiter nearly
touched moses" at the ceremony. Ed
gar Mills of Sacramento as master
of ceremonies and after an opening
prayer by Rev. DR.. Todd of Massa-
chusetts and brief talk by General
Grenville M. Dodge. superintendent of
the Union Pacific, Governor Stanford
raised he mallet and struck the first
blow, driving the golden spike into
the last tie. The silver spike was
driven by DR.. Durant The tie into
which the spikes were driven contained
a silver plate bearing an inscription
of the event
The gold spike was donated by DR..
H. Herves of San Francisco and was
made from twenty-three $50 gold
pieces. The silver spike, it is said,
came from the mines of Virginia City,
Nevada.

The Child VS.. HOuseWOrk

They have no real claims to sup
port from the babies they raise.
Many of them are denied even a
few pennies Of spending money in
return for their labors.
Mothers. our bUrs nave made the
supreme sacrifice that the American
home might continue to exist. Are
you going to thrust your burdens
upon your little daughters until
they tell US they hate housekeep-
ing-they despisc childron-untii
they see only the disadvantages OF
marriage and home life"
If you have undertaken a home
and the care of children. remember,
except for occasional help from your
children. the job belongs to You.
Think il over. Wouldn't you be first
to complain against an orphan
asylum that worked a twclvc-year-
old girl as you complacently work
yours"
Even an older girl in family has
rights. And it is the sacred duty of
her mother and father TO see TO i:
that she has a childhood and comes
to Young ladyhood with proper
ideals and with a vast quantity OF
colorGuI illusions about marriage

The Lessons of the War

would be ample anti within con-
Venient reach; there would be bet
Ter facilities for easy housekeeping
so that the modern type of apart
ment house would be cooperative
in the full sense.
But, of course, all this requires
training. Women need years OF
schooling and practical apprentice
ship in crafts like these to become
effective in them; but here is at
least one branch of effort hitherto
considered mans domain in which
women can become useful and eff
cient
l hope that it will no longer be
considered radical for a girl who
graduates from high school to take
training for manual instead of a
purely abstract or mental occupa-
tion. 1t was splendid of women to
jump haphaZard into manual occu-
pations as wartime emergency
measure; but the evidence of wom-
ans ability in unusual fields has a
deeper significance. If without
adequate training women have
proved efficient, how much more
can we do IL we have training.
And so / hope We won't rest con-
tent with our record in manual jobs
into which war needs threw us pell
NELL. The big opportunity lies in
going a step farther .now--in taxi
ing training for such jobs and, by
adding woman's peculiar talents
and insight, improve and develop

To the casual listener Anna would
seem to be a Stacker, but to those
OF us who knew her she did not.
We, who knew her, placed most of
the blam" on her mother. Anna was
the eldest girl of large family.
And the mother. not recognizing
Anna's 5 rights as "A child, showed off
the work that properly belonged to
herself on this child.
When the little girl returned from
school each day, the break fast and
luncheon dishes awaited her. After
she washed these she had to help
prepare supper. Then she spent the
evening comforting or rocking to
sleep one of her mothers many
children while she cndcavored to
study her lessons in d haIf-hcartcd
wa.
As Anna grew Older her tasks
were increased. First. she had to
rub out" some dainty things for
baby, but gradually she came TO do
most of the family washing on Sat
urday.
BY the time Anna was eighteen
and was self-supportinS, she left

In other words. she had had all the

Now. of course, ] do believe that
children should be taught some of

in making them like these tasks
seems TO be in presenting them as

to Cure
Stammering
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

'NHERE are said TO be about
one hundred and fifty thou
sand stammerers in the
United States, which gives
some idea Of the magnitude of the
problem presented by speech i'm
pediments.
In a community OF one hundred
thousand persons there should be
found from four hundred TO one
thousand stammerers. Stammering
may be noted at all ages. even from
the beginnings of speech, but seven
males TO one female are afflicted.
In some cases the spasm OF the.
muscles concerned in speecn is so
strong that the victim cannot talk
at all il anyone besides himself is
present. and may even be obliged TO
carry writing pad around with
him in order to make himself un-
derstood
The obvious fact about stammer-
ing is the speech difficulty, but the
deeper fact is an inward emotional
disturbance. OF course, after years
OF stammering. a habit is cstab-
lished, and then the emotional eie-
ment plays little or no part in the
trouble.
i"S ShioliOhdi disturbance Is
social phenomenon, and is associ-
ated with feeling of embarrass-
ment with respect to the stam-
merer's speaking relationship to
those in the immediate social group.
The explanation of stammering,
in short, is that there is a disturb
ance OF the nervous and muscular
control apparatus of the mechan-
ism nf SnRanh A.r
emotion.
There is no anatomical impe--
fection in the brain or in the organs
of speech of those afflicted by
stammering.
When alone, the subject prac-
tically loses his tendency to stam-
mcr. but the tendency Immediately
reasserts itself upon :he advent OF

which increases emotion, excitcs or

Very few persons grow out" OF
stammering without treatment by

Cure depends upon educating
and training the stsmmerer into
normal self-control under all cir
cumstances. and is best attained by
medical specialists. The afflicted in
dividuals's personality and psych-
ology must be studied and under

The principles of prevention are
now well understood and are be-
