This means that 1887 defects were
reported to parents, and only 266 cor
rections were reported. This, in
turn, means that only little more
than 13 per cent. of the children who
were known by the parents to need
attention were reported as receiving
it.
Gains and losses Of weight will be
learned when the next inspection Is
made. Not all Of our schools are
equipped with scale, but we hope
that next year each school will feel
the Importance of knowing how many
of their pupils come up to the stand
ard in physique as well as mentally.
and will provide scale.
The above report for the six months
during which the Red Cross nurse has
been working in the schools of Della
ware county should receive the care
| full attention of all.
The correction of 266 defects is
worth far more than the nursing
service has cost. The happiness Of
the children freed from their pain and
nervousness is alone worth more than
| the price Their increased earning
power, and their increased fighting
power-if it should ever be needed
| will be worth many times the price IN
| years to come. Both the county and
1.-The nation will profit from these COR
rections. Those whose defects have
| been corrected will profit most both
! in the immediate future and through
out their lives.
But, how about those whose defects
have not been corrected? They are
still suffering, or their health is still
/ being undermined Some Of them will
have their entire lives marred because
these defects are neglected.
| Think of it, only 13 per cent. OF the
| defects reported to the parents were
afterwards reported to the teacher
as corrected. Parents of Delaware
County, we dare not continue to neg
| lect these things.
My own little boy is one OF the 20
reported who had eye trouble cor
rected. He was nervous, could not
70 to sleep, sometimes until midnight.
Then came the report from the Red
Cross nurse that his eyes needed at
| tention. We took him to doctor and
secured glasses. Almost at once he
began to sleep as child ought to
sleep.
Parents! Don't ignore those re-
ports that were sent to you. II your
child's teeth, eyes, nose or throat was
reported as needing attention, or your
child is underweight, or any defect
was reported, see a doctor at once.
| Act upon his advice at once. What
are a little money and time compared
to our childrens welfare? They are
the most precious possessions we have.
They have no one to look after them
but US.
The summer is a good time to have
these defects corrected Now they
are out of school, and not bothered
with colds, etc. 1t is so easy to put
off and neglect. But for the sake OF
that which is dearest on earth please
do not neglect this. See doctor and
act upon his advice at once.

WHY NOT HoYT FOR G0yERNOR9

w - =
The article from the Manchester
Press, which we reproduce below, apt.
ly characterizes the conduct Of an un-
principled trickstar, whose methods
are discreditable, not alone to mem
bers of the Republican party but to
decent people Of all parties.
Commenting upon the methods
which resulted in Mr.. Hoyt's defeat
the Press aptly says:
Burbank, the candidate who OPP
posed State Treasurer Hoyt, made
one OF the most despicable CAM
paigns in Iowa political history.
At the eleventh hour he flooded
the state with circulars injecting
the religious issue into the CAM
paign, although he knew there
was not the slightest basis for
such innuendoes as he sponsored.
We are told also that he promised
the country bankers to see to it, if 4
elected, that the automobile Ii,
cense money should be deposited
in the local banks, although if he
knew anything at all he knew that
the law prescribes the manner in
which those funds are handled.
It is shameful that so square and
open-handed a man as Ned"
Hoyt should have to incur such
contemplate, malicious opposi-
ton as this.
Burbank's disreputable methods are
quite generally condemned, and legis-
lation and other plans are being sug-
gested to prevent recurrence of such
work.
The most feasible plan we have
heard mentioned is to have the Re-
publican State Convention nominate
Mr.. Hoyt for governor.
Mr.. Hoyt is as we'll qualified for the
office Of governor as any man in the
State.
Mr.. Hoyt's nomination for governor
would be in line with the action of the
recent Republican National Convention
at Chicago.
Mr.. Hoyt's nomination for governor
would be such condemnation of Bur-
bank methods that he.suggested legis-
lation to prevent their REPETITION would
be quite unnecessary.
Mr.. Hoyt's nomination for governor
would result in Burbank's defeat, and
that would relieve self-respecting peo-
pie from the humiliation they would
suffer if called upon to transact bust
ness, in the office Of the Treasurer OF
State, with such an individual as Bur
bank.

Geo. s. Banta, and One Daughter,
Mrs. Frank J. Keiser.

known and successful farmers of Milo
township, passed away at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Frank j. Keiser, on
East Union street, Sunday evening,
June 18th, 1920, after an extended i'll
ness of heart trouble. Funeral SER
VI AS were held from the Keiser home,
Tuesday afternoon, at o'clock, Rev.
II. L. Goughnour, pastor of the Con-
gregatiolal' church, having charge of
the services. 1nterment was made in
Oakland cemetery The funeral SER
vices were attended by large num-
ber Of the old time neighbors and
friends of Mr.. Banta.
Mr.. Banta was born in Crawford
County, Pennsylvania, December 18th,
1853. He was a son of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Banta, pioneers Of
Delaware county. In 1865 the family
left their home in Pennsylvania and
came west, locating on farm in Milo
township. The land .on which Mr..
Banta's parents located is still owned
\ by the family.
Matthew 'Banta was united in mar
riage with Miss Bridget Hickey, Of
Milo township on November 5th, 1877.
Mrs. Banta passed away at her home
on November 26th, 1916, and since that
time he made his home. among his
aildren. During the past two years
7 he made his home with his daughter,
~. To- hn q
given the tenderest care by the chill
dren.

S. Banta, of Milo township; and the
daughter, Mrs. Keiser; also one sis
ter, Mrs. William Cowell, of this city,
survives hin.
The death Of Matthew Banta re-
moves from the county one of its most
successful tillers of the soil, man
who had an important part in all
movements intended for the develop
OF the agricultural interests of his
county. He was real lover of the
country. and even after illness pre-
vented him from taking Part in the OPP
sration Of the farm nea1 town, his iil-
terest in the life Of the farm never
lessened. Mr.. Banta came to the coun-
ty when he was about twelve years OF
age, and as a boy learned the art OF
I'd tming. BY hard work and careful
management he accumulated neat
competence, and as his children
reached more mature years he used
his means in generous measure for
their education. Mr. Banta was d
{ staunch supporter of the principles
as enunciated by the Democratic party,
and took keen interest in political
questions, and every worthy cause
always received his financial and NOR
al support. He was of rather quiet
nature, a kind and devoted husband
and father, and the children who
mourn for him will ever cherish in
their thought of him, those qualities
of heart and mind that made Matthew
Banta the man who was universally
loved and honored. His death brings
sorrow to many who had learned to
love him, and the sympathy OF many
friends goes out to the sons, the
daughter, and the sister.

give rise to the inquiry as TO
whether the great increase it not
due in large part to the fact that
prior to statehood our bills were
paid by the national government.
on inquiry, however, it appears
that the amount paid us from
Washington was very inconsider-
able, compared with the great in
crease in state government cost
subsequent to statehood. The fed
eral government paid the govern
or's salary and contingent expen-
SEES, and the salary of the secretary
of state. This amounted in all to
about $4,000. In addition, the five
judges who made up the district
and supreme courts were paid by
the government-$3,00 900 each. Be-
side these the federal government
met a certain proportion of the
expenses of the territorial legisla-
lures. This amounted to $24100
every two years, or $12,050 per
annum. Other government expen-
ditures within the boundaries of
New Mexico We're met then as they
are now.
1t is true, as you say, that large

themselves, to prove inefficiency.

such was the case. What / have

JUNE MAINTAINS
ITS RECORD AS
WEDDING MONTH

Especial Correspondence to The Journal,
Carlsbad, N, NJ, June 20.--Cupid
had his innings in Carlsbad last
week. The merry month of June,
and particularly the last four days
of,it have set matrimonial record
not easily approached, and the
town has been gay with the festiv,
tiles attendant upon the cere-
monies. ..
Most elaborate of all the affairs
last week was the Cooke Mann

day, at $50 when Miss Mildred
cooke, daughter of George NJ

the Right Rev Frederick b. How
den, bishop Of New Mexico, assiste l
by the Rev. Frederick w. Pratt,
rector of Grace church.

ing which lends itself readily to
floral decoration, was beautiful in
its trimming of green and white.
Shasta daisies were banked against
the stained glass windows, and
tied in clusters along the aisle.
The 5 white dossal curtain was
trimmed In smilax, and the altar
was bedecked in fragrant blossoms.
The church was we'll filled with
guests when at 6l5 Miss Jennie
Linn played n beautiful prelude
upon the pipe organ. and at $3.50,
the wedding party was ushered IN
to the familiar Mendelssohn we'd
ding march. Frank Kindal and Ed
ward ,Purdy, ushers, headed the
bridal procession and were followed
by bridesmaids, the Misses Grace
and Frances Cooke. sisters of the
bride. They were gowned in flow
cred chiffon, and wore white leg
horn hats. The matron OF honor,
Mrs. A. 2. Smith, wore white geor-
gette crepe and poke bonnet
Bouquets of Killarney rosebuds
were carried. The bride. on the
arms of her father, was gowned In
white lace and marquette. and the
beautiful bridal veil was trimmed
with Duchess lace and fragrant
orange blossoms, and at the altar
met the groom and his best man,
Mr.. A. z. Smith.
At the conclusion Of the cere-
mony, a reception was held on the
beautiful Cooke lawn on North
Halagueno street. Those In the re-
ceiying line or assisting the bride
were the bride and groom, Mr.. and
Mrs. George M. Cooke, the Misses
Cooke, Or. and Mrs. Doepp, Mrs.

Mrs. A. q. Smith, Miss Jenny Linn
Mrs. e. A. Roberts. Mrs. George o.

Cost of Government in New Mexico

that the rate of expenditure for
governmental purposes in New
Mexico is entirely out of proper
ton to the increase in population
and the increase in taxable wealth ;
in other words, to the increase in
the peoples power to pay, and
that some of this increase is due
to inefficiency and lack of CO.
ordination in the administrative
functions of our state government,
which should be remeded by put
ting more responsibility into the
governors office and always elect
ing good men to that office.

enue commission will, as you sug
gest, make. a very fun analysis OF
all the facts and figures for the
benefit of the people. 1t will be
difficult for you to publish such a
complete analysis of the figures in
question, on the lines you suggest,
for all the years from 1910 to
1919; but with your permission
will include here comparative sum-
maries of the state government
cost and expenditures for the fiscal
years ending November 80, 1910,
1913, 1915, and 1919. Nineteen
hundred and ten was the sixty
first territorial fiscal year, 1913 the
first state fiscal year, 1919 the

odd coincidence found the golden

The cost of general government
as classified in this statement ma.
be said to be the overhead cos,
the salaries and other expenses of
conducting the government before
any distribution of benefits is in
ausurated. This shows the very
rapid and upward trend from 1910
to the present time, excepting two
years which show slight decrease
over the previous years.
In 1910 the cost Of general gov
eminent was, as you see, about
$4,000; in 1913, $2S0,000; in
1916, $35S,000, and in 1919, $780,
600.
To those coming from g much
richer state than this, such an in
crease may seem insignificant. But
1t must always be remembered
that this is a comparatively sparse
ly populated territory, of compare
lively meagerly developed re-
