In hot weather the mother Of an
infant has no easy task. She has O
full-sized job. Fortunately. 1t is a
satisfactory job in the long run,
worth all the trouble and anxiety.
The baby must be changed often.
Every time this Is done. there must
be local bathing, thorough drying
and the application Of powder.
without perfect cleansing. the skin
becomes irritated. chafed or chap
ped. This causes pain-real dis
comfort. In consequence, the poor
little youngster cries and makes ev-
erybody unhappy. The experienced
mother will understand. The new
mother may not know. That Is why
I speak about 1t.
The skin Of an infant Is extremely
thin and sensitive. IL must be
treated more considerably than the
veneer OF q three-thousand dollar
piano.
It is surprising what a difference
there Is In soaps. "A variety that
agrees with one adult may produce
uncomfortable skin symptoms TO
another. A variety that agrees with
all adults may be extremely irritat-
ing to q baby. You must select the
soap with care. When you find q
kind that agrees. stick to IL. To
avoid irritation Of the infants skin
Is q thing vital to its welfare.
1t S a lot of trouble to prepare for
that thorough bath every day. On
a particularly hot day, there Is n
temptation to omit 1t. This must
not be done.

Toe As Fish Bait

A disciple of Isaak Walton at Sanger. Texas, has
a new fish yarn. While seeking some OF the finny
tribe. with the sun shining hot, he pulled off his
shoes and let his feet drop under the water to cool
them off. One Of his large toes evidently had the
fishworm appeal. This supposition is supported by
the report that when he jerked his foot out Of the
water. following a painful bite. he discovered n IT.
pound catfish had swallowed his toe. We know q
newspaper man whose hobby is -fishing-nothing
commands more Of his serious thought than using
the hook and line on the Colorado-but II he has tried
the toe bait. he hasn't confessed 1t within our hear
ing. although recently upon returning from one OF
his frequent fishing expeditions. he was limping very
noticeably and concealing all of his toes very care
fully. And We haven't heard him express an opinion

What to do with the knocker really Is q serious
problem in the Valley. If there really was anything
good accomplished for either himself or for the per-
son whose mind is poisoned by his ~croakings, there
would be some reason for his existence.
There are no more Of them now than ever. those
:. touch with the situation declare. but the few who
are here are unusually busy with their little hammers
some of the hammers not being so very little.
1t is a fact that a large majority Of the residents
OF the Valley have benefited themselves by removing
to this favored portion Of the globe. Most Of them
are enjoying improved health. A vast majority Of
those who have come to the Valley in the past several
years-those who have been here long enough to have
passed the inconsistencies stage and to have become
acquainted and formed some new frinedships-are
happier than In their old homes.
OF course. there are people who have suffered dis
aster and who really are distressed-not always
through their own fault. Sickness and death may
have visited them. They may have been unfortunate
IN the selection OF crops and to have failed to prosper.
Others have bought land which has failed to measure
up to expectations, though there are very few in this
last class. Nearly all Of these realize the Valley Is not
responsible for their condition and most Of them ttll
realize the very definite advantages Of this rection.
A vast majority Of those who merit the title Of
'knocker" have no one to blame for their hisillusion-
ment but themselves. Some Of them came to the VAL
lev expecting to pluck wealth from the mir without
physical or mental effort. It Is not done that way.
Those who have made a success in the Valley have
labored long and hard-they have literally dug out
success by the sweat Of their brow. But the Valley
furnished the possibility and the vaEey has rewarded
the faithful laborers out Of all proportion 70 what they
would have received IN other ~rections.
Other knockers are those who are consumed with
jealousy over the greater success Of others. These
knock their more successful rivals thinking to destroy
them. Instead they hurt the Valley and themselves.
Real estate agents make a good example. After a
man has bought one tract Of land an unprincipled
dealer informs him he has been Stung. There the
possibility Of further sales to that man end. II the
man has been defrauded he will find 1t out. II he
has made a good buy and is told he was robbed the
man who tells him has no chance to sell him a second
tract OF land.
Valley citizens today should resolve that In their
conversations with strangers they will say something
good for the Valley or that they will say nothing.
There are many things good to be said. There are
few things unfavorable that can be said truthfully.
Why not get on the right ride?
Boost and have a part in building the Valley which
will be built in spite Of the Enocker.

WASHINGTON Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMNIER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-whatever else President
Hoover excels at on these weekend jaunts to his
fishing camp in the mountains of Virginia, there Is
one thing he can do to perfection-make coffee over
a camp fire and yet keep the grounds ouS Of the other
food.
This is no small achievement. Anyone who has
roughed 1t in the woods knows how difficult this task
is. A coffee pot will boil over on a camp fire regard
less.
And SO does the presidential pot at Rapidan. de-
spite the fact that Mr.. Hoover knows how to build a
fire so that a bed Of red Goals is left to furnish n fairly
uniform heat.
But the presidents method safeguards the other
food on the fire even If the coffee pot does boil over.
He ties the grounds in a cloth-a tablespoon 10
each cup with an extra spoonful for good measure.
This Is lowered into the pot Of boiling water. If the
pot does boil over no grounds are washed into the
other food.
From friends who have enjoyed the presidential
camping trips comes information on phases Of camp
life other than the chief executives ability to make
coffee.
The day starts at Rapidan with a regular Ameri-
can breakfast. 1t is a substantial meal, usually con-
sisting Of bacon and eggs. hot cakes and coffee.
Canned milk is used for the coffee. but when it is not
available the guests take the beverage black.
Lunch is not an important meal. Usually every
one Is away from the camp building dams or fishing.
The evening meal is a major event. however. and
is designed to appeal to hungry campers. 1t is then
that the camp cooks exert all their skill. Steak
broied on a grill. fish from some nearby stream. po-
tstoes roasted in embers, and coffee are favorite items
on the menu.
CATBOATS AND CORN
Speaking Of food. Postmaster General Brown, the
culinary artist Of President Hoovers cabinet. has
sprung a new one.
Some 26 miles down the Potomac river from Wash
ington. on the farm Of one OF the newspapermen who
covers the postoffice department. he has planted a
patch Of sweet corn.
He watches over 1t was great care and has had al
ready. as he calls 1t. Several messes" from ka- patch.
Only recently he had rsafmed to go down. construct
an oven In the open and bake some. but an invitation
to President Hoovers camp prevented him.
The postmaster general also delights in sailing an
old catboat while ne Is on the farm. He and the
newspaperman have been on short cruises frequently.
While aboard the newspaperman is known 10 Brown
as Commodore" The newspaperman calls the head
Of the p~ostoffice department Admiral"
The other day they were out on the river when
the wind died down.
Scratch the mast, Commodore" called the lad
miral"-"scratch the mast. 1t never fails to bring
the wind"
The commodore" scratched the mast rs ordered.
And sure enough the wind arose and they sailed on
ut o pretty clip.

Of considerable interest are the Yukon Fur Farms, across the NarroWS where over two hundred mink are stocked. and propogated. The business has possibilities of developing into one of the biggest and best in dustries in this locality if not in the Division.
 Jess Ames, active manager, waxes eloquently enthusiastic when he describes the potential possibilities of the farms. And from all indications, with good reason. A trip over to the farms at this would be especially in tereSting to many, as the busi- ness is conducted in such a way that a very good perspective ot the business and conditions may be obtained.
