CLOVIS PUPILS
UNDER WEIGHT
Red Cross Nutrition Specials, Finds
Only 6S Pupils ia Eugene
Field School Normal.

The local Red Cross chapter has
engaged the services OF II nutrition
specialist, Miss Mary Newell, who Is
working at present in the schools oi
Clovis
Miss Newell, with the help Of vol.
unteel' workers, has weighed anG
measured the children in the first,
second and third grades in the Eu-
gene field school. or the 33l child
ren weighed and measured, 6S were
normal and over weight; the rest
Mere underweight. OF these under
weight children, l6S we're over 7eo
under weight, some were as much as
500 under weight. This means that
over SOC. OF the children in these
grades are i'm the mal-nourished class
Inquiry into the living habits Of these
children almost always revealed q
faulty diet or otherwise defective
health program.
Those over l0oa underweight are
being organized into growth classes
and they IRE taught (l) to drink four
glasses Of mix a day; (2) to eat oat'
meal or other Nell cooked cereal; go
to eat plenty Of fruit and vegetables
(4) to sleep l2 hours with windows
open; (5) not to eat candy and 9th
er trash between meals; 90 to take
good care Of the teeth; Cd full
bath more than once a week; (Sl Q
bowel movement every day.
All children who are under weight
should observe these rules and even
those who are normal in weight should
not overlook them. II d child has
poor habits and is not under weight
II may be due to good feeding during
infancy or unusually resistant bodies
For il often takes considerable time
before the results Of bad living shOu
themselves in loss of weight. anemia
and other definite symptoms.
It is too high . standard to saS
that We aim to put oil children in The
excellent group.

In Roosevelt County both irrigat-

Portales is the county seat. In Curry
County. of which Clovis is the county
seat, wheat is the principal crop. The
exhibit shows a wide variety Of fine
vegetables Of all kinds-most OF
them raised BY "dry farmers" Those
in charge of the exhibit say they have
every kind Of grain on display except
spcltz, and they lost their sample Of
that enroute. They also have almost
all kinds Of table or garden vcGeta,

those crops are raised in abundance
and at n profit on land selling at re.
markably low prices.

THE LESSON or TUIsA.

Under the above caption the outlook reviews the
tassdy at TULSA, in which the mob spirit was Let loose
md the entire city was for . time in the grip Of terror.
It $ shown that. the whole disturbance originated in =
tr5vf.latncident which scarcely naestted attention in q po-
Mes court, and how. because Of ldck OF definite and de-
5taAve 1etdon on the patt OF the local authorities at the
outset Lives were sacrificed andsthousands Of innocent
people were subjected to suffering and: loss. In discuss
Ing the EsnihcAnce Of the tragedy the Outlook says:
TULSA Is not essentially different from any Ameri-
can city In which there - q considerable negro ele-
mont. Contemplating the dark episode. almost any 9TH
srady might echo the humble THANKSGIVING. "but for
the grace of God there goes John Bunyan." So long
- race feeling exists there - danger of such outbursts.
It ali We please. the foundations Of order are
secured through effective police backed by q firm demand
for law and order by all decent citizens and helped by
the earnest desire Of white and colored people to- draw
together in just and friendly civic relations and to abb
stain from forcing the questions OF social relations to
the front. Potentially disorderly elements are re-
strained by fear of the instruments by which society
defends itself. Prompt and energetic action on the
part Of peace officers at the first sign Of trouble in Tulsa
that Tuesday night would have prevented the riots.
Governor Robertson. who arrived in the city soon after
the disturbances were over. expressed q general opin-
ion when he called the AFFAIR 'damnable and inexcusable'
and blamed the ineptttude OF the officers responsible for
maintaining order. At the outset a few weil-dtrected
policemen could have dispersed the trouble-makers at
the court house: Once the mob spirit was aroused and
armed crowds had gathered. the situation was out Of
control until the display of overwhelming force by sew
eral hundred determined guardsmen.
In the long run civilization must depend on the edu-
cation, tolerance, and intelligence Of the mass Of the
people. But. as the experience Of Tulsa and SO many
other. cities shows. police forces cannot be demoraitzed
bg politics or by neglect except at risk Of disaster"

TO SAVE STATE ROAD Movn1ENr.

The legislative comittee of the North Dakota State;
Good Roads Association has addressed I Communication
to the North Dakota delegation In Warrington asking
for the elernination OF certain provisions from the pend.
ing Townsend and Dowel bills providing for federal aid
for good roads. Both these bills provide chat the fed
eral government will not desperate with any state that
does not furnish directly. the fifty per cent Of the money
necessary for highway projects. and that the participation
of counties in the raising Of this fund will not be accepted
as a compliance with the conditions. 1t is pointed out In
the memorandum that the adoption Of this provision
would exclude North Dakota from participation In the
appropriations now proposed until the constitution OF the
state cam be amended, making compliance possible This
would debar North Dakota from participation in this
fund 1t least until 1924. In the meantime money for this
building under federal supervision will proceed, and
such work in North Dakota will necessarily come to q
.standstin.,. The effect. Of this would be highly injurious
to. North Dakota and It would be decidedly unjust to this
state for this condition to be permitted 0 exist.
1t Is the belief OF those who have paid greatest at
tentton to the road construction and maintenance prob
lem that the principle of requiring the state to provide
its quota of the funds directly is sound as the dtstrtbu-
ton OF. this work with the necessary division of control
and responsibility between state and counties is not con-
ductve to the best results. It happens, however, that IN
this state no other method is possible under the law as It
stands and amendment to the constitution which would
permit the necessary provisions to be made cannot be ef-
fected in time to bring this state in line with the others In
participation in the distribution of these funds.
90 1t is-tosbs hoped. that the. REPRESENTATIVES OF North
Dakota in the two houses of congress will be diligent In
bringing this matter to the attention OF their respective
bodies and that those having these bills in charge will
appreciate the Importance Of the situation SO far as 1t
relates to this state. 1t is quite possible that some other
states may be affected in like manner, but even II North
unjust for congress to make a distribution of public funds
on a basis which would not enable this state to parttci-
pate with the others in the prosecution Of the work to be
performed. Simple Justice requires that due heed be
given to the conditions which exist here and that proper
time be given to permit the necessary legislation to be
enacted .S 'aa4sas #I.sI SJaE% s. .G @ T.

ARREsrsM 4 CASE

4. AZ the result OF the Investigation By the authorities,
the young man Who hsd sohnciated "a night clerk inathe
hotel 1t which Marie Wick was murdered has been 9ar-
rested. charged, with having comrnitted the crime. The
sheriff and states attorney declare that their tnyestsa-
ton has convinced them that the man is guilty and that
the, crime could not possibly have been committed " any
other person. sN6 G*ss $#Fsa 5&5
The public will be sratified that definite decidon has
been reached in this case which At the outset presented 30
many perplexing features. and must respect the motives
which prevent the representatives OF the state from dis
closing at this time all the facts on which they base their
assumption Of guilt. In the meantime. 1t must be re-
membered that a.charge Of guilt is not Z conviction. that
the suspect is entitled to q suspension OF judEnent until
all the fact. are presented and that there is due him no
matter how grave the crime Of which he 10 accused, the
full protection of the law which is extended to every cit
lien, no matter Of what degree.
The. crime, in this case was 80 atrocious that public
feeling has been aroused almost to . point Of desperation
and in such cases, demonstrations have been made which
are always unfortunate. even II not prosecuted to q dis
astrous extereme. It is to:be assumed that the pubic
authorities at Fargo have taken; and will take. all the
steps necessary to provide for the protection, Of this man
until he can be brought regularly to- trial, and while It is
easy to understand the feeling which prompts members
OF q community to some very concrete expresaions Of
horror and detestation In such cases. 1t Is to be hoped
that q spirit Of calnness will prevail and that all persons
will await quietly and patiently the orderly procedure Of
the law. in full confidence that all that the law can do to
secure the ends OF Justice will be done. 5.-Ss
