DENVER MARKET REPORT

While the receipts have been rather
heavy here again this week, weather
conditions have been more favorable,
and the market has been strong to a
shade higher on all classes of cattle
with very good demand on every
thing except odd lots of medium quail
ity steers and the palmer kind Of
stocker cows and little thin heifers
and calves. Reports from Northern
Colorado indicate that only about so
per cent of the beets are out OF the
ground and it will take at least week
or ten days Of good weather before
they can get in the fields. While the
bulk of the cattle have come earlier
than usual this year and only small
per cent Of the cattle in this territority
on feed, we look for strong late mar
ket on all classes.

BABY CLINICS WILL BE
HELD HERE NEXT WEEK

In order to fill a nationwide need
for better conditions in the home be-
fore, surrounding and following the
birth of the million of babies which
are annually ushered into the world
under unfavorable conditions, health
demonstrations or clinics are being
conducted in hundreds of towns
throughout the nation, and Miss Lena
M. Pecover, state nurse and employee
of the National Child Welfare Bureau,
has been assigned to the various
towns of Western Colorado where in
terest is manifest.
Miss Pecover expects to be in Delta
within the next day or two when def
mite plans will be laid for holding a
clinic not only in Delta but at Read,
Austin and such other Delta county
towns as make request.
The particular aim is to reach
small children of families living in
moderate or lowly circumstances, and
the foreign element.
A place for holding the clinic, a
range, wash boiler bed, a layette
and such toilet articles as will be re-
quired for use in the demonstration,
must be secured. There is no charge
to the local people for these services.
Miss Pecover is paid by the state and
the federal government, and owing to
the fact that the amount allowed is
small, she will appreciate any favors
in the way of room or meals during
her stay here. The clinic will cover
five or seven days as conditions re-
quire, and if there is sufficient inter
est she will hold both morning and
afternoon classes.
Next week she will be at Olathe
with the demonstration, and the fol-
lowing week beginning November 10
are the dates arranged for Delta.
Better information can be obtained
after Miss Pecover arrives, tomorrow
or next day.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
MAKES RECORD DURING
LAST TWELVE MONTHS

During the past year the Supreme
Court of the United States disposed of
rs cases. According to report is
sued by the Department of Justice, at
the end of the last term of the court
there remained undisposed of 1858
cases as compared with 437 cases un-
disposed of at the end of the previous
term
The total number of cases disposed
of in which the United States govern
ment was party or had a substantial
interest was 253. Sixty-one of those
cases were before the court upon ap-
peal by the government. OF this num-
ber Is were dcided in its favor. %
adversely, were dismissed by it, 2
we're dismissed by the court, / was
dismissed under the rules and 10 petit
r tions were denied. OF the 1870 cases
which were before the court upon ap-
peal from other parties, the govern
ment lost only 12.
Among the more important decis-
ions favorable to the government were
those which directed the dissolution of
the linseed oil trust, sustained the
grain futures act; dismissed suits to
block payments to the states to aid
in reducing maternal and infant NOR
talfty; and upheld Attorney General
Daugherty's ruling that the eighteenth
amendment and the national prohibi-
tion act apply to all merchant vessels
when within the territorial waters of
the United States except while pass
Ing through the Panama canal zone.
The court sustained the power of
the Railroad Labor board to consider
the extent to which each side to con-
troversies before it. should limit the
exercise of its legal rights in order by
reaching fair compromise to COOP
crate in running the railroads. Meth
er side is obliged by law to comply
with the decisions of the board, but
the board may by the publication of
a decision direct the force of opinion
against a party which it thinks Justly
deserves it.
The court held that under the act
OF June, 1917, the government was
authorized to cancel contract be-
tween 1t and company made after
the passage of the statute, for the
manufacture of anti-aircraft gun
mounts, and that lawful termination
OF "cost-plus" contract for aeroplane
motors did not entitle the contractor
ts the profits which would have ac-
crued If the contract had been COM
pleted
1t decided that mortgages of the
Farm Loan bank are not subject. to
state taxation.
1t construed the naturalization laws
and held that neither Hindus nor per
sons OF the Japanese are white per.
sons within the meaning OF the nat
uralization laws and therefore they
may not be naturalized.

ishment in a state court under a state
law for making, transporting and sell.

Recipe for preserving" Children
Indcrssd by Authority That Can
not Be Challenged.

The infallible recipe for preserv-
Ing children comes from a Michigan
health bulletin and lie reprinted by
the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association, so it must be so.
II you can get the makings we
think there is no doubt about its in
illbility. We have seen children
who survived a diet Of half-eured
ham and bsking-powder biscuits
when mixed with mountain air.
They probably would have been SUI
permen and women if they had been
fed decent food as we'll.
ITO preserve children take one
large, grassy field, one-half dozen
children, two or three small dogs, a
pinch of brook and some pebbles.
Nix the children and dogs well to-
gsther and put them in the field,
stirring constantly. Pour the brook
over the pebbles; sprinkle the field
with flowers; spread over all a deep,
blue sky and bake in the hot sun.
When brown remove and set away
. cool in a bathtub. Exchange.

BOOKS FOR czEcHosLovAKIA

According to figures given by the
Czechoslovak Bibliografical institute
1900 new books were published
in the course of the year 1900,
in 1921 the number was some 1900,
while during the last year 1925 had
been published up to the end OF
June. OF these s57 we're philosophic,
dramatic, musical, art and BELLE
tristic works, while scientific liter
allure accounted for 1859. Com
pared with pre-war times, the fig
ures for the last three years in
dictate a considerable increase in
literary activity in Czechoslovakia,
due in part to the extension OF ter
ritory, but mainly to the fact that
free library effort is now being en-
Outraged instead Of being repressed
as formerly.

LIKE TO aPLaY THE PONIES"
Horse Racing Sport to Which thu
Natives of MesopotamIa Are De-
votedIy Attached.

Backing horses is an exciting
pastime for the natives of Mesopo-
tamia. Basrah races attract them
like flies to a honeypot, and the
Arab EPSON is curious and d.
yerting sight during the autumn
meeting. A new grandstand,
bricked and rooted, with backless
benches hidden beneath Persian
rugs, is the pride of all Europeans.
Behind it are wooden, mat-covered
sheds for horses, trainers, stewards
and the all important "Totalisator"
and its appendages. The paddock is
patch OF desert-like the course
itself.
Native gamblers congregate
around the wooden sheds. They are
shaggy, dirty and picturesque-at
distance. They sit in circles in the
dust like a lot of crows, needless
of the mob surging around them, as
they decide on the fayorite for the
next race. The man in the desert
does not play for safety. Usually he
is all out to profit heavily or go
down in the dust. Whichever it is,
he never changes expression.

VIII ships Of the future be cam
phor-driyen2 1t was demonstrated
recently that this substance will
drive objects through water, says
London Bits.
A piece of zinc foil was cut out In
the shape of boat, at the stern Of
which was placed small lump Of
camphor. The vessel wss then
placed in a dish of water, where it
proceeded TO sail round in circles.
Had the dish been big enough this
unique ship would have sailed on
for thousands of miles.
The secret of the new motive
power is that the camphor gradual
ly dissolves, thus reducing the re-
sistance of the water at the back
of the boat. s=-
In the case Of the experiment
described, this caused a disturbance
and forced the vessel onward. Only
minute portion of the camphor
dissolved, and piece as big as
pins head would drive toy boat
many miles.
Much ground has to be covered
before camphor can be used COM
mercially as a driving force, but II
achieve the success they
expect, ships will cost little to run,
and all fear of breakdown will be
banished for the simple reason that
there will be nothing to 60 wrong
in camphor-driyen vessel.
