Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Morris have
received word from their son Leo
nard. who is attending Roxbury
school, Cheshire, Conn. that he
has been presented with a gold
football, the only one awarded this
year at Roxbury. Leonard is of
real football timber and that he has
made his mark on the gridiron is
no surprise to his Cody friends.
This Is his second year in foot

at home and of comfy between
nations abroad. This principle was
lost sight of by the Bureau of
Reclamation in the past and in the
insistence of water users for NOR
atoria. affording temporary relief
but multiplying the ultimate bur-
dens. 1t is necessary to fix this
principle in the minds of all in
terested in irrigable lands, before
a policy of mutual obligations be-
tween the government and those
to whom it has advanced money for
reclamation can be established.
For years the practice has been
to grant relief when urgently in
sisted upon. Entire divisions and
districts were permitted to defer
payments regardless of the number
of prosperous farmers amply able
to pay This year a new policy
was adopted. Attempts have been
made to equalize the collection of
payments between owners on the
same projects-between the payer
and the evader. Blanket relief was
denied and individual requests for
postponement of payments were re-
quired, each applicant having to
prove his inability to pay. The
collection of hundreds of thousands
of dollars resulted from the en-
forcement of this policy. Settlers
obligations which otherwise would
, 1925-12-16

have increased, have been reduced.
Reclamation farmers as a class
are not regulators. That is not
the spirit of the West. But their
hopes have not been realized. Those
anxious to pay and acquire their
homes in fee simple have been dis
couraged by the failure of recla-
nation officials to sense the kind
Of help needed for this comparative
ly new enterprise of government
and by neighbors who were not
water by the Bureau in amount and
regularity equal to their own.
Heretofore all reclamation pro-
jects have been grouped, in the
public mind, as being on the same
footing, having the same needs and
being confronted by the same diff
culties. Water users also have been
regarded as settlers struggling to
pay for a farm. Most of them are
such, but there are also capitalists
and spectators who have been at
tracted to these projects and are a
very influential fraction of the land
owners. Projects should be diff
ferentiated between, a should set
tiers on a given project.
Seven projects have paid more
than 85 per cent of all the govern
ment's charges and will. without
doubt, pay out in full, while seven
other projects during the last five
years have paid less than one-half
of what 1t cost the government to
operate them and five others have
paid from nothing to less than 10
per. cent of what it cost to supply
irrigators with water.
1.-THE pressing anxiety today or ir-
rigation projects, whether initiated
by private companies guaranteed by
states or fostered by the federal
government, Is how to attract ex-
perienced farmers to occupy and
cultivate the land. This Depart
ment has 5000 vacant farm units
under Federal canals with water
rights to sell on long deferred pay
ments, without interest, but there
are no buyers.
ION a number of existing pro-
jects where there is good soil, plen-
ty of water, capable of growing
high-priced crops. and where con-
struction charges are much lower
than on any new projects under
consideration, there are still large
areas of land which have never been
irrigated. The remaining area is
either dry farmed or not farmed at

HEHALD-$2 THE YEAR
LAUNDRY GROWTH

The Bonner, Brooks and company, a bonding company of
New York City. has this to say in their bulletin of November
goth, 1925.
analysis of the Government census figures brings to light
the fact that the laundry industry has shown an expansion of
ove 500 per cent in the last sixteen years. At the present
time reliable statistics show that more than two million families
are now being served. This does not of course, include t
innumerable hotels, restaurants. pulmans' institutions etc also
cared for.
The laundry industry shows every indication of being on
the verge of a n overwhelming expansion, and we may IL m up
a few of the contributing factors a follows:
Increasing congestion in living conditions which has rendered
washing and drying at home almost a physical impossibilty.
Refusal of the present generation of house wives to
launder at home.
Inability to obtain domestic help.
Evolution from what ten years ago was almost solely
n Collar and Shirt business to include today the entire
family wash.
Higher standards of living and dress.
Public appreciation of the general development and greatly
increased efficiency throughout the entire industry.
Reduction of cost, resulting from improved methods and
increasing volume of business, which has rendered the service
universally available.
When few industries, which, by the nature of their bust
ness a claim a greater degree of stability than the laundry.
1t is not seasoned in character. Earnings do not fluctuate:
the demand is constant because the need is constant.
The business is for the most part, n cash business and
operates with a minimum credit loss. Hand launders are
being rapidly displaced by power launders run by modern fact
DRY methods, equipped with the most modern machinery, and
now ranked among the most rapidly growing industries of
America. In marked contrast with the average industrial or
porations. the inventory problem is of small consideration.
Up to the present time the securities of companies engaged
in this line of industry have been closly held and unavailable
to the public. Our close contact with the laundry industry
leads us to believe that. by reason, of their rapid expansion
their will be some public financing by the larger corporations
in the near future. We believe that the securities of well
established companies in this industry will offer most attractive
and profitable investment opportunities"

Still CURING Down.

l. -
The example set by the state in
cutting down EXPENSES and getting on
q business like efficiency and economy
basis IS bearing fruit in local COM
munities, as q report of the tax COM
mission shows.
This is where the big saving will
have to be made, since state taxes are
merely nominal and if they were
wiped out entirely little material diff
ference would be made in the tax bill
Of the average property owner.
But the state has done an excellent
job in showing the local districts how
a saving can be made, with the result
that 70 counties have slashed their
taxes 10 per cent, according to the
tax commission. This means saw
ing to the farmers of $4,000,000 this
year. Nearly all the reduction is on
implanted land
This is a cut in the tax bill that
amounts to something, and is the out
standing fact so far developed in
favor of the arguments advanced by
those backing up the state reorgani-
cation and economy program.
1t is easy to estimate that another
big reduction will be possible next
year, when the reorganization ma
chinery is more completely in opera
ton. Thus far the task confronting
the officials determined to lessen the
tax burden has consisted largely of
experimental work, but they have
done a job of which all their con-
stituents may well be proud.-St. Paul

ENORMOUS COST OF EDUCATION.

Every year the people of the Unit
ed States spend two billion dollars for
educating the youth of the land, with
all ever increasing ratio. just think
Of 1.-TWO billion dollars! That is an
enormous sum of money, when you
come to look it square in the face
almost the reach of imagination for
most of us.
But it is spent in good cause.
And then we came to another item
of public expenditure, and that is the
six billion dollars we blow in every
year for ,automobiles-but, of course,
automobiles are of far more import
ance to the nations welfare than
education is. Everybody will admit
that-and the six billions spent that
way don't look nearly so big pile
as the two billion spent for fitting the
youth of the land to make the best of
their chances.
Education is necessary, perhaps.
But the automobile is more neces-
sary.
Other items that come under the
heading of necessities greater than
including peerless" for which we dig
education are cigarettes and tobacco,
down in our jeans to the merry tune
of three billion dollars every year.
We spend more money for chewing
rum, beauty preparations, and movies
than we do for the building and main
tenance of schools, and it would be
difficult to shake our conviction of
their Importance over book learning.
And while education drags these
other things increase.
There are some old-fashioned people
to be found even in this ninety-mile-
an-hour epoch who profess to believe
that the system is wrong-that educa-
ton is a necessity of first Importance
and that we should spend less for
automobiles, tobacco, chewing gum,
cosmetics and theaters, and more,
much more, for schools.
But they're old fashioned.-Hi bbing

JUNIOR RED CROSS AIDS
PEACE BY BIG GROWTH
Gains $4,000 Members in Year
in Schools Throughout
United States.

A new high level in peace time
membership of the American Junior
Red Cross is recorded for 1925-its
ranks numbering 5,73S,64S school girls
and boys-a gain Of $4,000.
This unique and powerful children's
organization started as a war meas
ure, but today is one of the greatest
influences for peace ever known. An
increasing participation in local pro-
grams of service has featured their
years growth. It is indicated that to
a greater degree than ever pupils in
the schools are performing individ-
ual and collective acts of service in
true Red Cross spirit.
The success of the junior swimming
program, launched last year through
cooperation Of the Life Saving Serv.
Ice of the Red Cross, has led to a de-
termination to make it a regular fea
ture of both these branches.
An outstanding feature of the
Juniors work this year was the par.
ticipation for the first time of Junior
Red Cross worker in the disaster re-
lief operations following the tornado
In Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
Schools in many more fortunate local
tiles displayed a keen interest in
sending toys and books for the use
OF the children in the disaster area.
The Junior Red Cross porgram has
dourished not alone in settled com
munities, but has been extended to
Indian schools, and to native Alaskan
schools where many Eskimo children
undertook Junior work In addition,
the international correspondence be
tween schools is proving more and
more popular American schools are
now corresponding with those in thir-
ty-fOur countries.

RATE BEING REDUCED

An average OF 1912 deaths for every
1000 people was recorded as Wiscon-
sins death rate for 1924, according
to annual figures now complete Re
cords of the state board of health
show that this rate compares with
1917 for 1923 and 1912 for 1922.
The total deaths were 2S,2O5, as
compared with 29,336 in 1928
The decrease in the rate is largely
accounted for by decreases in the
death rates from influenza, pneu-
monia, measles, diphtheria, diabetes
mellitus, and diarrhoea and enterites
under 2 years. The decline in dia-
betes, formerly a disease Of continu-
Gus mounting fatality, is credited to
the use of insulin, curative agent
evolved from laboratories of medical
research.
Increases are shown in the death
rates from cancer and diseases OF
the heart. According to a recent
bulletin of the Bureau of the Census
Wisconsin is one of Is states desig
mated as having record low" death
rates in 1924.

err than it appears to be because of

These are the statements of H. I'll.
Jacobs, president Of the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association, whose
sale Of penny Christmas seals, held
annually from Thanksgiving Day till
Christmas, provides the funds which
finance the educational campaign
against tuberculosis.
"This striking information" de-
clared Mr.. Jacobs in speaking of this

carrying on the fight, year by year,
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-12-10

until the victory over tuberculosis has
been completely won. Much has been
accomplished since the organized cam
paign was launched in 1908. The death
rate in Wisconsin has been reduced
from 1898 per 100000 population to
64.2 in 1924, but there is still much
to be done tuberculosis is a disease
of youth 1t takes it's largest toll in
the best and most productive years
of life. The 1921 official figures show
that there were that year in Wiscon-
sin among the population group of
from 20 to 40 years, 975 deaths from
tuberculosis, 207 deaths from heart dis
ease, 118 from cancer, and 142 from
pneumonia.
Tuberculosis probably causes more
orphanage than any other disease. It
takes the parents while the children
are still economically dependent upon
them and, unless there is considerable
wealth in the family, the money saved
before the illness is usually complete
ly consumed in the fight for health.
1t can readily be seen that, apart from
the humanitarian aspect of the ques-
ton, tuberculosis presents tremend-
Gus economic problem-that the fight
against it is worthwhile from purely
selfish point of view. 1t. is always
cheaper to prevent disaster than to
pay the costs of it. To prevent tuber-
culosis by teaching people the truth
about it, Is the main function of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation and the penny Christmas seals
which finance it."
