not know what a literary man of reputation

literature in any other country.

Effective work in health education
has been accomplished through the
school children in China. The Ameri-
can Junior Red Cross members have
thrown their efforts into the work al
ready done by welfare organizations.
In the fifth health campaign conducted
by the \. M. Z. A. the juniors loaned
their services in addition to contrib
uting money. They took part in the
health parades, carrying large models
of flies, mosquitoes, rats and other
enemies to health. The older boys
conducted open-air classes in the mar
ket places, where regular instruction
in personal hygiene was given to chill
dren and incidentally to the grownups
who were looking on. They diStrib-
uted handbills and gave street-cOrner
lectures on health. Being born actors,
they advanced the cause greatly by
giving health plays. Part of the con-
tributlon from the national children's

CHURN NUMBERS ARE USEFUL
Makes II Simple Matter to Separate
Different Cummings and Sell Ac-
cordino to Score.

The use of churn numbers, so that
the receivers of butter can more
readily sort out separate Cummings, is
urged upon creamery men by food
products inspectors of the bureau of
markets, United States Department OF
Agriculture. In a lot of butter rec
emily examined by these inspectors
the score varied from IS to 90. As
no ehurn numbers were shown, the
only way the receiver could separate
the butter was by examining every
tub. If the churn numbers had been
shown. 1t would have been a simple
matter to separate the various churn-
ings and sell them according to score.
1t Is not possible to take time to ex.
anime every tub, so the butter is sold
according to the samples taken and
at a discount II the samples vary
widely. If there should be Just one
poor tub In the shipment and the
sampler happens upon 1t, the whole
shipment would suffer, while If churn
numbers are used only the tubs in
that churning would receive the lower
score.

OLD DAYS FOREVER PASSED
cimarron Bill, Bad Man, Couldn't Get
Lost Now in What Was Once
Texas Desert.

Who cannot remember the time
when as a child he sat behind a bale
of hay in fathers barn and clandes-
timely read with wildly beating heart
and bullying eyes the thriller about
how Cimarron Bill, the bad man of the
cow camps. became lost on the Staked
Plains of Texas-how he stumbled for
ward under the heat Of the blistering
sun, falling now and then to the sur
face of the treeless plain to dig fran
tically with his bleeding fingers for
water; how his tongue, parched and
swollen, hung from his cracked lips
because there was no longer any room
inside his mouth to contain it; how he
espied now and then on the horizon,
in the very midst of the idly shift
ing strata of heat waves, a beautiful
lake, surrounded by green trees and
grass of how he cried aloud with
fierce Joy at the sight and feebly
plunged forward once more to dip his
lips into the cooling fluid, only to
have the blue water, as he approached
nearer, vanish as suddenly as it had
appeared; of how, at length, he fell
fainting by the wayside and recov-
cred consciousness only to find that he
had been picked up by the beautiful
daughter of a passing emigrant who
now held to his mouth a damp, cool
gourdful of that precious liquid-wa-
ter. And of how he travelled on into
Santa Fe with this emigrant and his
daughter, fell in love, got married,
had eight children n everything like
that? Who doesn't remember it? Ev-
erybOdy does, of course.
Well, gentle reader, those old days
have passed forever Today Cimarron
Bill couldn't walk very far without
humping his head into windmill. The
great Llano Estacado has perered out
as logical place to transport man
in fiction if you want to get him into
an awful mess from which only Provl-
dence or a facile pen can extract him.
Where once barren wastes extended
for miles upon miles, today waving
blankets Of echeloned wheat fields
greet the eye of the wanderer. And
where once the snail-like prairie
schooner wendell its weary way to
the Golden West, today motor cars
scurry about with snort and a roar
and take prOsperous-looking business
men wherever they want to go before
they quite realize that they have
started.-Edward NJ. Dealey In the
Dallas News.
