Country Children Drink Little Mix; Are UndernouriShed
More Money Can Be Made On Farms From Pure Bred Stock

HNHILK IS plentiful on practically
wi every farm IN the southwest, %
said United States commissioner
A. J. W Schmid. yet comparatively
little is drunk by farmers children.
In fact, less milk Is drunk by farm
girls and boys, taking the country
over, than by city children. govern
ment statistics show. II IS said that
this accounts for the fact that the
proportion Of under nourished chill
oren in the country is larger than IN
the city. To get more children to
drink milk, number OF campaigns
are being carried on IN the northeast
err states. I would suggest that the
southwest follow this example. It is
said that in states where the cam
paigns have been waged increases in
milk consumption has been from one
to 80 percent
Iowa during the past eight months
has been making a special effort to
improve the health OF its school chill
dren BY inducing them TO drink more
milk The work was started in Oc-
tober with q milk week which gave
the campaign publicity throughout
that state. Texas might well con-
slider such a campaign"

Rose CuItiUdted 4
Habit: Raised Money

ITAVE you not noticed that II you
III have a pencil in your hands and
a piece Of paper lies before you
you uneonsciously make the same
group OF numbers, the same unin-
telligible marks, the same funny lit
tie characters you made yesterday
And the day before?
One man noticed that he always
wrote "33"; a woman confesses that
she would draw the outlines OF an
old tree; every one does the thing he,
o. she, has always done, without
rhyme or reason
Rose O'Nell found herself making
a funny little doll shaped figure. It
became such second habit that she
began to add Il to her signature as
her mark" One day in looking at
1t closely she discovered that. uncon-
sciously, she had been drawing e very
mischievous looking cupid
An idea came to her. No doubt Il
had been struggling TO reach her
conscious brain through the subcon-
scious for some time; she would use
these figures IN a nursery rhyme.
This is the origin OF the kewpie
which has delighted children and
grown ups for the last Is years and
which has brought to its originator
fame and fortune. The keWpies be-
came so popular on the pages OF q
book, she led them off into dolls that
were held in the crooks OF dimpled
arms all over the world; she put them
into textiles; into napkin rings, on
trays. into lamp stands, into candle
holders. wherever It was possible By
any inventive process to put q kew
pie where one had not been before,
Miss O'Neill did Il. reaping a royalty
on every little figure that appeared.

catches in Tevoss and low terraces where seeds blow

tabsh her little gardens that bare rocky slope Every
bit Of vegetation that allowed to live and grow up there
makes it easier for other tiny spikes green to get
foothold There Is more vegetation the mountain
than there 10 20 years ago. but there might
been much If nature had been allowed to have her
way.
The goats roam over the hillside and crop good part
Of the fresh growth But all the goats do do
much damage IN year the silly people do who set fire
to the Spanish bayones and the grass and bushes and
laugh to the bright streak of fire sweep up the slopes

There is enough light wood, dead and dry, up there
to supply every legitimate camp fire without destroying
that which is trying to grow. The favore sport is set
