si WASHINGTON, Oct. 29AOne- fourth fo one7haIf of the child ren in the United States go to school without breakfast, and many, of them go after having had only a cup of coffee. recent investigations show according to the Bureau Of Education of the Department of the Interior.
 It is the duty of the school 'in so far as its educational re- sources will permit" to counter act deficiencies in the diet of pu- pils, the Bureau declares. For this purpose the school lunch is recognized as one of the most effective health agencies in the school system, it says. ~
 Public school lunch rooms in dark, poorly ventilated, musty basements are rapidly being re- placed by well lighted, ventilated and cheerful ones, equipped with the most modern appliances and supervised by trained dietitians," the Bureau, points out These dietitians not only prepare food suitable for growing boys and girls and serve it in an environ ment conducive to the develop men of high ideals and standards of conduct but make the essen tial food products so appetizlng that food selection by children becomes pleasurable exercise.
 Too often the lunch is hur- riedly swallowed and js. devoid Of nutriment needed for muscle and bone building, formation of good blood. teeth and all the other factors which help to pro- duce health. This is one of the reasons why the person in charge Of school feeding should be a trained dletitian so that the right kind of food will be supplied.
 "If the breakfast is insuffi- cient. there is every reason why the school lunch should make up the deficiencies. Children going without breakfast may be due to poverty sloyen}y habits of liv-. ing, such as not rising in time to eat properly, or ignorance on the part of the parents of the. needs of growing children.

 It all began last Winter when "Petey" left his home on farm in southern Missouri and came te Denver so that he might be near his sick sister, Sadie. who had settled here to repair her broken health. He obtained his first job as a delivery boy for a market and grocery, and it was in carrying out his humble duties that he met the fate that cost him. his life and. may leave it's imprint upon others.
 Fate Takes Hand
 While the luekless boy stood covering under the tongue-lash ing of the cook of the Alpheus E. Dickson household, he suddenly noticed the beautiful mistress of the establishment observing him framed in a doorway She broke in upon the trade to suggest that the cook go herself fer more eggs while the boy cleared away the wreckage. No one can say just what was spoken after the cook had left, but it is fairly certain that other things than groceries were talked about.

WASHINGTON. oct. 2s. Jap ans iron and steel industry faces the problem of obtaining lower cost coke and sufficient supplies of ore, while, economical produe- tion of pig iron, without savings in labor or other factors, is also regarded as something of a pug gle, Assistant Commercial Attache J. H.. Ehlers of Tokyo has report ed to the Department of Com meroe. H
 The Japanese Government is planning to purchase 2,600, ,000 tons of ore in an effort to over come the recent decline in i'm ports and resulting decrease in reserves, estimated at S00,000 tons. Iron mines of Japan pro per produce only small part of the total ere consumed, Chosen and South Manchuria supplying a large proportion. In addition Japan usually imports ore from Japanese-controlled sources in the Yangtze Valley of Central China and the Malay States.
 Japsu has an abundance of coal, but 1t produces poor coke. Consequently iron and steel man ufacturers have been forced to pay more than $7,5O a ton for blast furnace coke, a price con- sidered extremely high.

No man should assume a woman loves him until he has definitely asked about her regard.
 Neither should he take it fer granted that she does not care without giving the lady a chance to express the state of her heart.

"OvERlAND STAGE" IS
 AT PALACE TOMORROW

There's a wealth of Western scenery in The Overland Stage" starring Ken Maynard, which comes to the Palace Tuesday for two days.
 The First National company, di- fected by Albert Rogell, journeyed first to Deadwood. S. D., where the great pageant and celebration of "The Days of '76" was filmed as cognate part of the story.
 The celebration, held in August. was on a particularly impressive scale this year, because of the fact that it was the seml-centen- nial of the days that Dead wood celebrates. or course, the beauti- fh scenery of the Black Hills was utilized to the fullest extent.
 After returning from South Da- kota and working q few, weeks in fhs studio. the company travelled a much shorter way to Idylwild one of the real beauty spots of Southern California. It Is recog- hized by every mp to date producer that trips like these return more than their cost in the added beauty and appeal of the picture.

DISASTROUS FIRE
BURNS ENTIRE CROP

Thursday afternoon of last week,
Nels Petersen, brother of Viggo Pc
tersen of this city, lost his entire
crop of grain by fire, on his farm
about six miles east of Antelope.
Mr.. Petersen had been burning a
straw stack the previous day and a
high wind arose on the day of the
fire and rekindled the dying embers
which swept across the stubble field
and ignited the granary several rods
distant. The building, which CON
tanned 5000 bushels of wheat, 1000
bushels of barley and 500 bushels of
flax, was soon a mass of flames and
in a short time the granary and con-
tents were but heap of ashes.
The fire was a severe blow to Mr..
Petersen who was hailed out entirely
on his farm in the Dagmar country
and was depending on his crop in the
Antelope country to retrieve part OF
his loss.

Local Boys Outweighed and Out-Ma-

Football Team. Gain Valuable
knowledge From Defeat.

The Plentywood High football team
played their first game of the sea-
son last Saturday when they met one
of the strongest high school teams in
North Dakota, Williston, on the Will
liston field. The North Dakotans
gained the advantage at the kickoff
and soon had the ball over the goal
line for a touchdown. The expert
enced team had little trouble in
clearing paths for the man carrying
the ball, and consequently made their
yards repeatedly until breaks could
be made for points. The Plentywood
team made their yards several times
but not consecutively, and hence did
not succeed in carrying the ball to
their own end of the field.
The final score was $50 for Will
liston. Nevertheless the local team
/ has learned that each man must play
the game as coached and be respon
sible for his part in each play.
