morning to the undernourished child

has been advocated by the members
Of the Parent Teachers Associations
for some time, was begun Tuesday
morning at the Central School.
From now on 100 undernourished
children in the school will be given
. half a pint of milk at recess time.
The milk for this purpose is furni-
shed by Otto Schopp whose dairy
was inspected by the committee in
chaEN. and found to be sanitary. All
of his cows have been tested for tub
erculosis and found to be 100 per
cent free from the disease.
The committee which made arran-
gements for the giving of milk to the
children to composed of Mrs. Fred
Griffin, Mrs. R. C. Strobe and Miss
Mamie Wright.
After the nurse examined the child
rem, the parents Of those who were
underweight were notified, the of the
fact and recommendations made con-
corning the child's diet. The parents
who are able to do so are paying
60 cents a month for the milk, the
parent teachers association is paying

following persons are buying milk
for one child each: Mrs. Wiley Cork,
Mrs. Rolla McIntire, Mrs. J. F.

MUCH of the future progress of
a town depends upon the home life
of the community.
If the town is divided into business,
social, religious and political cliques
or groups, with hard and fast lines
drawn and each pulling against the
others, there is but little opportunity
for real progress. The people can
not get together on a common plane
of understanding and work. No one
faction is willing to accept the lead
ership of another.
But when a town is comparatively
free from paralyzing cliques and jeal-
ousies there is great opportunity for
advancement. Everybody knows
everybody else, each feels free to
to advance suggestions to others, and
in turn is willing to receive them.
In this way the best points of
every proposition are brought to the
surface, and the logical leader to,
carry a work to completion is easily
selected. =.
The closed mind is the heritage of
a town divided against itself. 1t.
imbibes but few new thoughts, and
those few are centered around the
particular clique to which the mind
belongs.
The open mind gathers in much
food for new thought, and that
thought is capable of expansion and
development in many ways.
The open mind is the one for this
town.

IN HIGHWAYS
IS PLANNED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28,-A pro-
gram for good roads construction
during the next fifteen to twenty
years which will make the road trans
portation facilities of the United
States far exceed those of any other
nation in the world, past or present,
is the aim of the federal government.
The highways of Rome, even whose
fame has come down through the GEN.
turtles, will pale by comparison, Off
Gals declare. Under the program,
there will be built, during the period.
100000 miles of improved highways,
which will constitute the federal aid
highways system, and an equal or
greater mileage of state and local
roads.
To Cost 8 Billion.
Details of this vast program will
be placed before the conference of
the highway education board, meet
ing here from October 26 to %, by
state highway engineers and officials
of the bureau of public roads, of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, to whom has been entrusted the
work of planning and supervising the
construction of the federal-aid high
ways.
Officials of the bureau place the
aggregate cost of the federal-aid pro-
gram alone at about 3 billion dollars,
spread over the period. They base
their estimate on an average cost of
$4,000 per mile. The average cost,
in turn, takes into consideration all
classes of improved highways from
the cheapest to the most expensive.
Approximately one-third of the pro-
posed system, Or sixty-thousand miles
of improved highways, already are
either built or building.
A National System in Mind.
The program is a new one. Up to
comparatively recent years, the bur-
eau declares, road building in the
United States has been conducted
without considering whether they
would link up in the most effective
fashion with the whole network Of
roads projected to spread over the
entire country.

Slayer to Death.

MEXICO CITY, July 1o.-Maria
Del Pillar Morena, the 15-year- -old
daughter of the editor of the Her
aldo who was murdered few
weeks ago by Deputy Tejeda Llo-
,rica, shot and killed the slayer of
her father as he was leaving his
home on Tonala street this after
noon.
Maria promised her dead father
as he lay in his coffin that she
would kill Senior Llorica and she
was carefully guarded lest she
carry out her threat.
This morning she escaped from
her home and went to the house
of Llorica. When Llorica came out
she pumped four bullets into him
at close range. Then she gave her
self up to the police.
Llorica killed the editor because
of the latter's newspaper attacks
on Adalberto Tejeda, the deputy's
uncle and governor of Vera Cruz.
