The commission appointed to formulate hours o f work and compensation for girls under 18 seems to be rather up against it, as even their proposed beneli- ciaries are objecting to the curtailed hours of labor a.i'd necessarily reduction in labor. This matter of regu­ lation of wages and hours of labor is one that no com­ mission can ever handle satisfactorily. Different towns and different occupations call for different hours and different compensations. For instance, it would be foolish for a manicurist to sit idle a goodly portion o f the day and at the rush time of an evening be com­ pelled to quit work. Again there are many little busi­ nesses where the boss would be able to pay a young lady even as much as $5 a week to look after his office or business while out at work, but it he has to pay $0, he simply closes up and the girl is out o f a soft and easy way to earn some pin GERMAN BAT BALL. -------- Good Old, Game Forsaken by Buena Vesta High School for Foot Ball.

This _ last has already happened in Dallas since the commission’s rul­ ing went to effect, and the girls are of course objecting. As a result of their recent meeting in Portland, t ie editors of the state had their editorial columns filled last week with accounts ol' a trip to the Peninsula, speeches by some prominent people on matters not in any way pertaining to newspuperdom, praise ol the Oregon hotel lor housing them tree, and similar junk. Wnat we attended the meeting lor was to have an in­ terchange of ideas as to the best methods ol conduct­ ing our business, thus getting pointers irom others, tnat might assist us in getting out a better paper and muking more money in the doing. This spirit seemed entirely lacking, and it was a haul m atlei^o get any of the boys on the floor to give experiences. We hope tiiat this will not be the case at future meetings. This, one wa3 well attended, better than any lor many years,, and the chance was there to gain knowledge, yet other things were interjected until as a meeting for the good of the members themselves it came nearly being a farce. Let us next time have an experience meeting simply and cut out the others GOOD HOADS PREVENT DISEASE. Few persons, on first thought, would see any |>oss dj connection between good roads and good health. Yet the State Board of Health of Kansas says that good roads can and will prevent disease, lfow? By »’ie removal of weeds and trasn. Weeds and trasli prevent the prompt evaporation of moisture and promote reten­ tion of ground water. This makes ideal breeding sinus for mosquitoes.flies and other insects,which are known as disease carriers, not to mention chinch bugs, hop­ pers and other insects which are crop damagers. Fur­ thermore, an undergrowth of weeds invites the dump­ ing of garbage and manure by offering concealment, of which fact careless and thoughtless people are prone to take advantage, thus increasing the facility of in­ sect breeding and providing these insect ca rries with proper material for disease transmission. Good roads: also prevent disease by providing good drab age- M uiy farms have no means of drainage except by ditches along roadways. Open ditches, clear of brush ami debris, with hardened Bur.ace and proper fall, afford these farms the opportunity of ridding themselves o i many a stagnant pool. The removal of weeds, primer road grading, surface hardening and oiling, insures prompt drainage of all pool, ditch and surface water, removing the possibility of insect breeders, for none can multiply without moisture. Hoad oiling in itself is destructive of insect larvse, especially mosquitoes a well known fact. Dry roads offer pedestrians, and notably children who are compelled to walk to and from school, dry shoes and feet. While colds are due to specific germs, yet it is a well known fact that cold, wet feet and chilled limbs lower the resistance of in­ dividuals and make them more favorable subjects for Infections of the respiratory passages, Including pneu­ monia and tuberculosis. Good roads prevent disease by setting an example to adjoining farm premises. Good roads promote travel and set an example to the farmer who premises are bordered by them. The comparison of a well graded, clean highway with an unkempt and trashy barnyard adjoining is sufficient to stimulate every landowner to a clean-up. Bride compels him to offer to passers-by a neat appearing and attractive house and barnyard. Results are only to obvious.
