Splendid Work of
Children's Home
Society in 1921


Jacksonville, Feb. Cone thou
sand three hundred and forty-five
children were administered to by the
Children's Home society of Florida
during the year 1921, according to
the annual report of Marcus C.
Fagg, superintendent of the home.
Three hundred and sixty were under
supervision during the first of the
year, Mr.. Fagg stated A total of
9O4 was receiving aid from the home
at that time, he said, of which 461
were boys and 443 girls. Two hun
dred were babies between the ages
Of six hours and three years.
Mr.. Fagg placed prominent in the
accomplishments of the home during
the year the placing of children Ell
ther fatherless or motherless in the
care of private homes. Previously
the home had conducted a boarding
school for children whose single par
ents could not give them attention
because of him or her having to
work. Not only was the cost Of car
ing for each child REDUCED by placing
1t IN selected boarding house, Mr..
Fagg stated, but it proved to be
much to the advantage of the young
ster.

Mexican Officials Jubilant
at Prospects of More
School Taxes

CALEXICO, Sept. 14.-Almost score
of well equipped prospecting parties
made up of two TO five men eacE Nf'
Mexicali at near dawn this morning
on the wav to the recently discovered
cold field which Tomos Rosos uncover
ed 80 miles from Mexicali. Fully 100
more persons left for the scene by auto
mobile, wagon and horseback in a rush
to stake out the unclaimed ground be-
fore the arrival of the main crowd.
Rosos, with his partner in the mining
ground, Henry Gonzales, was around
town today, cheerfully giving informa
ton to all who inquired of him as to
the easiest way of getting to the scene
of his discovery and giving minute di-
rections as to water locations, etc.
The Rosos prospect is located, mining
men say, on the same line Of hills and
perhaps on the same vein or off shoot
of the big rich silver and gold vein
recently examined by American mining
experts for group of American capital
lists who are to reopen the mine very
shortly. There are at present time 6Sf
mining claims being worked in the Nor
thern District of Lower California, all
within reaching distancessof Mexicall,
and it is expected that the Rosos dis
covery will add at least 100 working
claims to this number within the year.
The mining tax collected on these
claims by the territorial government
will average approximately 500 gold
each and consequently the federal Off
cials are smiling over the prospect of
more tax money coming in The greater
part of this tax goes for the upkeep
and extension of the school system and
with more money more schools can be
opened and the educational facilities
of the territory brOadened. This, Gov
ernor Lugo and his advisers claim, is
the finest feature of the discovery made
by Rosos.

President Harding and the Republican
Congress.

President Harding's decision, &C.
cording to press reports, OF take nc
active part in the election Of Repub-
lican Senators and Congressman this
year, is thus commented upon by
Chairman Cordell Hull of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
81 think l can readily understand
this attitude of the President. Most
of the sitting members, it appears,
will, through the strength of their re-
spective local machines, be renomi-
mated. 1t is evident that the people
have already made up their minds to
vote for sweeping changes in the
present complexion of Congress. Pres
ident Harding's attitude of keeping
aloof offers striking proof that while
he, in common with the Old Guard
crowd, was anxious to see Newberry
seated, he cannot work himself up to
the point of engaging in personal ac-
tivities in future support of the pres
ent Republican Congress. The most
terrible commentary on this Congress,
therefore, is the fact that Republican
leaders who could stomach Newberry-
ism cannot stomach the sitting Repub-
lican Congress"
