STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH REPORT
OF MARCHBIRTHS

The birth rate in the state for
the month of March exceeded the
death rate by 290, according to a
report issued this week by the
state board of health, department of
vital statistics. The report, COM
piled by Mrs. Ruby l.. Jacquemin,
shows that a total of 900 births
was reported for March. as against
619 deaths for the same period.
The report issued is the first
one coming under the new laws
governing the recording of vital
statistics in the state which were
passed by the seventh legislature
and which became effective about
March 1. A feature is the fact that
900 births were reported for the
month, the largest number ever re-
ported for a single month in the
state. The death rate also was
larger than for many months.
1t is not believed that the birth
rate has increased in the proper
ton shown by the report, it was
stated, but that under the new law
the increase of the fee received by
the registrars for each certificate
registered has encouraged them to
make an effort to obtain a certifi-
cate for every birth and death in
their districts. Under the new law
registrars receive soc for each GER
tificate, an increase of 25c per
certificate
Of the total number of births re-
ported for the month, 43S we're
boys and 462 were girls There were
eleven pairs of twins reported,
four from ella county, five from
Maricopa county and one from
Pinal.
The parents of 466 babies were
white, 352 were Mexican, 13 were
Indian and 81 were of other races,
including the negro. The parents
of thirty-two of the babies were of
mixed races.
There were ten boys and eight
cen girls born in Navajo county
during the month.

SANTA FE AGAIN
OFFERS TRIP TO
BOYS AND GIRLS

The Santa Fe railroad is again
cooperating with the national COM
mittee on boys and girls club
work by offering fifty-nine trips to
the fourth National Club congress
to be held in Chicago next Deem
Der. This is the third year the
Santa Fe has been active in this
work, having taken sixty-five boys
and girls to Chicago in 1923 and
fifty-nine in 1924.
Nine states will get the benefit
of the Santa Fe's offer, and the
trips, which will be awarded to
county champions or other out
standing club members in live stock
and crop projects, will be appor-
toned as follows: Texas 10, Okla
homa 10, Kansas IL, Missouri 4
Illinois, Colorado and New Mexico
3 each, and Iowa and Arizona one
each.
National boys and girls club
work is handled by the United
States department of agriculture
and state agricultural colleges I'M
der the Smith-Lever act. Most OF
the work is carried out by the
extension departments of the col
leges, which include state club
leaders, county agents and COM
munity leaders. The national COM
mite, of which President Coolidge
is honorary chairman, stimulates
activity in a general way.
In announcing these prizes, the
Santa Fe leaves all of the detail,
and especially the selection of the
winners, to these organizations.
The only condition imposed by
the Santa Fe are that the winners
reside in counties served by the
Santa Fe, and that the county
have the services of a full-time ex-
tension agent. Furthermore, no
boy or girl can be declared win
ner a second time.
The purpose in offering these
trips, which not onlys permit the
winners to attend the National Club
congress but also the International
Live Stock show, is to encourage
more boys and girls along the
Santa Fe to become interested in
club work, officials of the company
believing it is an effective way of
promoting agricultural efficiency
for the future.
Gladys Bushman, of Joseph City,
made the trip as guest of the Santa
Fe last year.

Community of interest of the railroads,
their patrons, and the public is generally
recognized without argument.
Afine spirit of cooperation has resulted
and has become an invaluable aid in
rendering transportation service.
One outstanding example of co-opera-
ton is the Shippers Regional Advisory
Boards, eleven in number. They are
voluntary organizations of shippers,
representing production, distrib ution,
consumption, and credit as related to
transportation.
Each board has separate commodity
committees dealing with each important
commodity.
Railroads are notrepresented on these
boards, but do have separate committees
of their own which cooperate with the
commodity committees.
These boards consider, analyze, and
solve many transportation problems.
Through them railroads learn shippers
needs in advance and are enabled to
distribute cars to care bestfor such needs.
Shippers learn the necessity of prompt
The Winslow mail., 1925-05-08

loading, unloading, cleaning, and release
of cars, and the Importance of giving
advance notice of their requirements.
Friendly conferences around the table
have been very helpful. All parties have
pro6ted thereby.
Car loadings in 1923 and 1924 broke
all records, yet the railroads moved the
traffic offered without car shortage or
delay.
There was no magic or mystery about
this record breaking performance.
Available facilities were used to the best
advantage by railroads and shippers.
Plain common sense was applied in a
cooperative spirit to solving difficult
problem.
Such cooperation made it possible to
have the products of forests, mines,
manufactures, and agriculture delivered.
without delay at reasonable cost.
Everyone benefits when the trans
portation machine functions smoothly
and without friction.

Saturday night Mountain Home
High School suffered their first de-
feat of this season when Nampa took
the long end of a 24-16 score on her
own floor.
Mountain Home, although defeat
ed, gave Nampa hard game show
ing excellent teamwork and fast,
clean playing.
AT the end of the first half the
score was tied 1919. During the
second half, even though our boys
did their best, they were unable to
gain the lead and Nampa closed the
game with the score in their favor.
This was one Of the fastest and
most thrilling games ever played by
our boys and we feel confident that
in return game played on our floor
we shall be able to take the lead.

WHICH WAY SHALL WE GO?
OF the various problems follow
ing test week none presses more in
sistently for solution than that OF
getting back to a saner basis of life.
The past week has left us gasp
ing We probably won't go on as
madly once we have caught our
breath. But it takes time to reap
praise and reestablish some of the
older and sounder ways of studying.
OF course, it shouldn't, but it does
our teachers tell us it shouldn't, but
ask them if it doesn't
1t can be distinctly seen that our
grades are lower right after test
week A marked change takes place,
for some reason. Our mental ability
seems to be at the low point of its
swing We need to accelerate the
upward movement.
1t is not strange that tests, which
a scholar usually pictures as the
wholesale destruction of his life,
should produce as a reflex a frame of
mind in student tending to mimi
mize his energy into insignificance
But students of the high school age
are supposed to be past these visions
of horror, and able to get down to
work. Palso, know we are. If some
one told us We weren' table to, we
we would holly deny it, and say that
we would show them Maybe that is
Just the cure we need.

books are going home than usual

Ilready been accelerated by some lit
lie spark, and will 500 nburst into

WASHINGTON WE MISS YOU
Washington we miss you, and al
your day draws near,
Our longing grows so much like pain
we sometimes drop tear.
We miss your strong and steady
hand. when trouble presses hard.
We miss your cheering presence,
when shot and shell are fired.
We miss you in the evening. when
the sun is setting low;
We miss you in the morning, when
the sun is in its glow.
We miss you, ever miss you, but long
for you in vain
For the greatest, grandest noblest
man, is high above our plane.
Washington, we know that you look
on us of to-day:
And long to share our burdens in
your old familiar way.
We know you loved your country,
with a love that did not die;
And that you still think of her, tho
your home is in the sky.
You have sent your spirit to us; we
can feel its every thrill.
After this we'll fight things bravely,
yes, we'll fight them with a will.
But the message we would send you
e'er our story is all told
Is that we will not forget you, for
your memory is like gold
We hope your rest is sweet and hap |
py so near the wonderous sun;
And we hope that we may join you,
when our work is finally done.
