MUST TRAVELLING

OF Growing School Children.

A Children's Clinic Is a necessity.
A community might easily economic
in many directions, but not In cases
where the health and efficiency OF the
future citizen is involved. Our most
precious POSSESSIONS are our children,
and to consider the health of the child
dren, is not only an obligation, but a
necessity, II the state is to be saved
from becoming a hospital for incom-
petents. Two-thirds of the physical
ills hat affect the people are the re-
suit of neglect and ignorance in child
hood, and most, IL not all of these
could have been prevented by a little
expert treatment in the child stage Of
development. Many a boy and girl
have been handicapped all through
life because some malady In childhood
was neglected or overlooked. In the
press OF our complex civilization each
human unit needs TO be at his best but
this Is impossible II the roots Of some
~incepient disease have been allowed
TO fasten upon him in his youth. We
are fussy about trained minds and
educational equipment, but criminally
careless about healthy bodies, a child
with the ricketts, may have a good
brain, but a good brain needs a good
body as an efficient instrument II
does not speak very well for boosted
children TO die every year and multi.
tudes more to go out into life blighted
by diseases that we took little or nc
pains to prevent. We have a wonder
full knack OF tinkering with results
but an almost staid indifference about
p~reventable causes. We have millions
of money for pleasure and show. W.
spend our FOOLS pence freely on things
that are merely selfish, but when !
comes TO great moral and social in
aerests our economy is almost a pro
verb. We are patriotic, but only II
spots. We train our boys and girls L
appreciate their great national privi
lege, and that is well. At the SAM
time we abrogate the plain duty o
patriotic citizens by baking at tn
bother and expense OF fitting them TO
really worthwhile citizens In the vita
matter of sound bodies, as well a
trained minds.
Then there Is the question OF ylclou
habits. Those who make a study O
child life know how prevalent thes
habits are, and how they blight tn
mind and soul as well as the body
Many a child's life has been cursed b
habits acquired at a time when he wa

LIFE SAVING PART
GOOD SWIMMING
How TO Rescue Conrad Explained In
Detail BY Noted Expert-B0w TO
Break Death Grips and Locate Sun
ken Victims.
BY C. F. Werner.

Everybody a swimmer, every swim
mer a life saver" is the slogan OF the
American Red Cross. The methods
that are now Used by the Red Cross
are the result Of years Of study by life
saving experts.
There ar four definite points to be
remembered In life saving and they
are as follows:
RESCUE or the drowning, com
prising the approach of a persosn in
danger, the location of a sunken vic
tim, towing the subject to safety and
land carry.
2-Self protection, including the
method by which TO guard scientifi-
cally and humanely from the attacks
of those one would rescue.
After Treatment Explained.
3-Resuscitation, embracing all
means of restoring the apparently
drowned.
AFTER Treatment.
Unless you are a good swimmer
yourself and a keep cool In times OF
excitement such as when a boat over
| turns, or when one Is suddenly pushed
into the water. don't attempt to make
a rescue. Two may lose their lives
instead of one.
To approach a subject 1t Is advis-
able 10 approach from the rear OF
reach out and grasp the arm of your
subject, quickly swinging him around
by pulling him towards you. To locate
a sunken victim, swim out to the point
where last seen to disappear, duck
| dive and swim down, or II the water ii
not oyer ten feet, 1t would be advis'
able to make one duck dive after an
other by springing from the bottom
quickly, taking a breath and diyint
again.
How TO Carry.
Towing to shore Is done by differ
ent carries. The head carry, the cross
shoulder carry, two-point carry, un
der-over-arm carry and tired swim
mer carry. Each carry has its purpose
You may us one In bringing | n a fight
ing subject, another TO bring In a tire'
swimmer, but In each carry yol
should endeavor to give your subjec
as much air as possible.
In self protection the American Rel
Cross teaches you how to break dealt
grips, front and back strangle hold
theorm holds and other grips withou
ignoring your subject.
MOre lives are now saved nnuhll
than any time before In the world
history on account of the advance
ideas now In vogue In connection wit
the apparently drowned, and with tn
latest method Of resuscitation nov
used, called the Schaffer method, 1t
easier to bring the person who is re
covered from the water, when nc
submerged too long, back to life agai
by producing artificial respiration
and restoring circulation II life Is nc
already extinct.
Easy To Learn.
Il These methods are very easy I
learn II taught by a competent In
structor, but to teach them through a
article would take a great deal of tim
and then you would be b%ewildere'

4 Tribute To The
Albert Smiths In
Flanders Field
BY Nancy Kampf
Special for the Press.

Several of the "home-folks OF Amer
lean Falls we're among the two
thousand patriots gathered in beauti-
full Julia Davis Park last Sunday TO
pay tribute to one of our war-heroes-
to participate In the last sad rites for
the body Of the first Boise boy to be
returned from overseas. To all but
the bereaYed family and a few friends,
the name, Albert H.. Smith, makes
little difference. When he marched
out under our colors, he became ours,
and he shed his blood and died nobly
ION the field of honor for US all, and
In this spirit was he welcomed home
and laid away with military honors.
The cortege was a most impressive
one. Leading the way, carrying aloft
the regimental colors, was a tail gal
liant youth, whose slow step and up
lifted c~ountenance expressed patriotic
fervor and a deep appreciation Of the
occasion. Following him came the
Boise band, paying soft, slow, dirge-
like music, and leading uniformed
overseas veterans, the cavalry, and
other military organization. The
caisson, bearing the flag-draped and
flower-laden casket was escorted by
iron-helmeted comrades; behind these
came the family, friends, and innum-
cradle cars.
Impressive Tribute.
After an impressive tribute to him
and to all our illustrious dead, by
Capt. Connors, the cortege passed with
muffled drum-beat to the cemetery
where oother ceremonies were CLOSED
by a gun salute and taps"
The peoples of flanders Field are
blooming the third time since Alberf
II. Smith with failing hands" threw
the torch to other hands and went on
from battlefield.

Do they sleep we'll?

We shall not sleep. though poppie.

HALF YOUR LIVING
 WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut In Half By Food And Grain
 Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia.-(Spec .)-"High prices for cotton, such as we had year ago cannot reasonably be expect ed for long time to come. European countries that normally use half our crop are so thoroughly disorganized and paralyzed in a business way that they will not be able to take the usual quantities and pay high prices for many years to come," said H. G. Hastings, President of the great Southeastern Fair.
 This situation which we cannot control, calls for lower costs of mak- ing cotton as we'll as reduction in cot ton acreage. The quickest, safest and most effective way to reduce cot ton making cost is to produce on ones own acres every pound of food, grain and forage needed for family, tenants and laborers and live stock.
 "The situation requires chickens, hogs, milk cows and acres of corn oats, wheat, forage and miscellane- ous crops from which to feed them. Last, but not least, in importance. Is the home vegetable garden which is the quickest and cheapest source of food in the world.
 Most folks here in the South don't take the home garden seriously and thereby make great mistake. There are too many of the lick and a prom ise' sort of gardens and mighty few of the real sure enough kind.
 "We have been told repeatedly by those who plan and prepare for real garden, plant it, tend it and keep 1t replanted through the season, that it i furnishes half the family living at no money cost except the small amount spent for the seeds needed.
 "The garden is, or rather should be, the earliest planted. It brings food the quickest. It starts cutting store bills for food the first week anything is ready to use. A little later, half or more needed for the table comes out of the garden.
 "If rightly tended and replanted 1t supplies food all summer and fall, the surplus above daily needs goes into cans or is dried for winter use. Yes, the right kind of garden is a life saver, and we all need life-saver of this kind in 1921"

Mass Meeting Favors Memphis Acre age Plan-Many Form Organi-
 zation for County.

Approval of the Memphis plan ot cotton acreage reduction was ap- proved at the mass meeting held this afternoon at the courthouse with more han 50 school districts of the county answering the first roll call. |. b, Adams of Mayfower was elected chairman of the meeting and Charles Lienhart of Conway, secretary. farni- CTS altogether had charge of the meeting. ,-
 Mr Adams as chairman stated the purpose of the gathering, and the luii nlan adopted by the Memphis con vention and referred to the cotton growing states was read by MT. Lien, hart. Frank Raney then addressed the meeting, his contention being that farn,ers who are tenants and are sup nI;ed hv merchants are powerless to effect the reduction unless the hiei chants and bankers also approve 'ne
 move. MT. Raney favored the reoue, tion. but expressed fear that si,ouio 9 majority reduce, there would oe others who would take advantage oi conditions to produce large crop thinking that the smaller proouc'io'' would boost prices. u.
 V. D. Hill, cashier of the aux nor County Bank & Trust Company and R. H. Maddox, cashier ot the Farmers State Bank. were called upon +o oxnress the position the banks ,yon1d take on loans to farmers Wne had not reduced in conformity Wsth the Memphis pledge. MT. Hill de- clarad that the bank which he repre- sented would lend every possible eo- onaration to the reduction move put TTonld have to reserve the right to mass upon each application for loan and not be governed by hard and fast rule. Mr. Hill said that in some cases a farmer might hold hls crop at 50 per cent of the 1920 total ana still produce his own food and 1eed MT Maddox said that the Farmers State was ready to sign the pledge rnouired of bankers and in any other way to further the Memphis plan IT tbis county. The Bank of Conway was not renresented but takes the same position as the Farmers State.
 At the suggestion of MT. Raney, the chair called for Howard James, who declared that as land owner ht would do everything possible to sec that the reduction was made on hls farms. P. F. Cleaver, president o1 the Conway Commercial Club, respond
 ed to a call. He said the farmer; would make a mistake in attempting to secure 100 per cent reduction, since
The log cabin Democrat., 1921-02-05

the law of the land, with fines and jail sentences to enforce it's orders, does not secure 10G per cent compli- ance. He advised that the meeting adopt a resolution calling upon bank CTS and merchants to pledge support to the reduction move and then form an organization to see that individual farmers observed the pledge.
 At o'clock other delegates were being heard. Mr. Adams stated that time was pressing and that the body should hurry its work so that the organization could be formed and ad- journment taken. The meeting prob ably had the largest attendance of any of it's kind held in this county.
