MILK FOR HEALTH CAMPAIGNS SUCCESSFUL IN MANY COMMUNITIES In 60 or more milk-for-health campaigns conducted in various city and country communities in which the United States Department of Ag riculture has co-operated, the use of milk has been materially increased a 20 per cent increase being com mon. The best results have been ob tained where work was done in the schools, supplemented with educa tional work among parents. Many communities have found a relatively high percentage of under nourishment among children, and this condition frequently accompa nies a low average per capita milk consumption. Experience has shown that this failure to use enough milk is not generally the result of lack of means, but is due rather to lack of appreciation of the importance of milk in the development of children. The department participates in these campaigns when requested by the extension service of the State agricultural colleges. Liocal organiza tions such as chambers of commerce men’s clubs, women’s clubs, parent teacher assciations, etc., take an ac tive part in the project. Owing to the large amount of voluneer work done by these local force it is pos sible to conduct a campaign on a comparatively small budget. In no community is a campaign under taken unless the milk supply is safe, adequate, and fair in price. The intensive part of the cam n"ign lasts one week. During that ' every effort is made through . st... era, newspapers, moton pic tures, posters, songs, and pageants to impress upon the public the value of milk in the diet. Members of the extension service come from other parts of the State to take part in the demonstration campaign, and often repeat it in their own coun tius. > —- • ■* Department Circular 250, Educa tional Milk-for-Health Campaigns,, French Ship Crew to Demand Wine Ration New York, June 13.

I LITTLE HOP-SKIPPER By DOUGLAS MALLOCH Little hop-skipper come in through the gate, Up through the garden and over the lawn; Little Hop-Skipper la fearfully late— Over an hour of the morning Is gone. There la so much for Hop-Skipper to dot— Rosea to smell of, and berries to find. All of the orchard for wandering through, Acres or daisies a garland to wind. Little Hop-Skipper goes skipping all day; Watching the swallows or wading the grass. Helping the fluffy, wee kitten to play— Little Hop-Skipper’s the busiest lass. But, when the shadows grow long by the wall, When the gray twilight brings child ish alarms, Then comes the happiest moment of all— Little Hop-Skipper creeps Into my arms. (C by MoClur* Nawapap«r Syndicate) -o—— Members Now Facing Last Three Days, Auto Campaign Every Day Crammed Full of Opportunity; the Daily •Gazette’s Big Campaign Ends Saturday Night; Suc cess Depends on Last Minutes Efforts. The ballot box in the big cam paign is now located in the First Natonal Bank, and will not be open ed until the final count, when it will be turned over to the judges.

The subscriptions re ceived by candidates from this date on, together with any reserve votes, must be deposited in the sealed bal lot box before nine o’clock next Saturday night, the closing hour of the campaign. No Transfer— Understand this: Under no cir cumstances can credits or subscrip tions be transferred from one can didate to another. This is an abso lute rule and will be enforced to the letter. Eighty hours remain of the cam paign. This period of time may mean the winning or the losing of one of the biggest prizes of the en tire campaign. LOSE NOT A MOMENT-GET BUSY. REMEMBER!—The big subscrip tions count the most during the next four days—a six year sub scription (by carrier) turned in now counts 180,000 regular credits and 200,000 extra credits, or a to tal of 880,000 credits in all. Six of these six year subscrip tions would mean 2,480,000 credits. Ten of them would give you 3,800, 000 credits. .... YOU HAVE THREE MORE DAYS IN WHICH TO GET THE VOTES NECESSARY TO WIN GET BUSY AND KEEP BUSY. Candidates in the Daily Gazcttte’s groat auto and prize campaign have just three more days in which to secure the votes necesary to win the prize of their choice. The more ambitious candidates in the race arc standing today with their backs to the wall, and i.’ie thoughts of ‘now or never” hovering in their minds Leafing candidates are seething with the bustle of preparation for iirnl dash, and with one accord are fighting valiantly nnd determin edly to reach t.'ie goal—where the. big prizes await the winners Eight weeks of hard work and anxietjr culminate in the closir scene on next Saturday night i nine o’clock, at which time the bi circulation campaign comes to close and tie most successful ca didates will claim the magnified prisea—headad by the Durant ton ing^ar. I r-, ;v? ■ ... Success in an affair of this kind depends upon keen judgement and immediate action. Through all his tory, people possessing the faculty of knowing an opportunity when see it, and grasping it at the right time, have won very frequently on the last turn of the cards, the good things in this world, while those undecided and afraid, stand back and talk about what they could have done. T.he end of the campaign is but three days away If you can trust your own judgment as to your com petitor’s strength (based on facts and observations), and lay your plans accordingly, there is yet time to stem the tide and turn it into a sweeping victory. Are YOU going to be one of those to finish triumphantly with an overwhelming number of votes, or are you going to be satisfied with what you now have to your credit and see the eight weeks go to waste and the rich rewards of the cam paign Wrested from your grasp, by more enterprising competitors. It is up to you now, or let your rivals beat you t° it. A few more laps and the race will have been run. Only a short time remains to choose between vic tory and defeat—success or failure. Don’t over look your chances to win —Avail yourself of every opportun ity the present vote offer affords. Kemember: It means something to win in a competition of this kind. It is a demonstration of this kind that is extraordinary Sometimes it proves up the “yellow” in some of our bogus friends, but reveals the true ones, and it always tests your mettle, and measures your srtength.

(Six such subscriptions secured be fore 9 o’clock next Saturday night will count 2,480,000 credits.

Ten subscriptions of six years each would give any candidate 3, 800,000 credits.

HALL CAINE’S FIRST BOOK BROUGHT HIM ONL'/ London, Juno 13 MP)—Hall Caine, who recently observed his seventieth birftiday, took the opportunity t'. speak of things as they used to be. Referring: to the relations between writers he sairl: “There comes a time when all writers pet stuck in their work and want advice. I knew Wilkie Collins intimately, and whenever I got stuck I would go and see him. Always he would help me without hesitation. This comradeship was a common feature of literary work in those days, not only here but abroad. Flaubert, George Sand and the youn ger Dumas, to mention only ex amples, would help one another in difficulties. Today, however, you never hoar of that sort of helpfull ness, and I think the loss is a great one.” For the manuscript of his first novel, Mr. Caine said, he received $250 and was supposed to have done well. Literary values have in creased enormously since. “When I first came to London,” he declared, “the usual arrangement was for a publisher to pay $200 out and out for a novel. In some cases writers like Wilkie Collins, Charles Reade, or Walter Besant had some sort of actuarial valuation made of their potential financial worth, and sold themselves to the publishers. It was an arrangement which generally op erated greatly to the advantage of the publishers.” .--o SWEDEN WINKS AT BETTING Stockholm, June 13 (A5)—Betting in connection with hors oracing was introduced in Sweden for the first time May 7 at Jagersro, the largest race-course in South Sweden.

There are only five in the world, three of them In this country. In accord with this Idea, Professor Schlestnger Is hopeful that his camera may prove en tirely successful and that It will be generally adopted and necessary obser vations made with It without additional expense at other points. Study of the north pole field alone has brought many interesting discov eries, chief of which are: the earth, taken as a whole, is as rigid as the strongest structural steel and the land In the northern hemisphere Is creep ing northward gt the fate of one foot a year. This latter, although apparently Insignificant, Is of major Interest to science. When Yale's new 28-Inch telescope is set up In some land south of the equa tor, probably New Zealand or South Africa, the zenith camera will be used to study and measure the stars of the touthern heavens. -o WENTWORTH Miss Evelyn Gentry_1,952,100 LEAKSVILLE, R.
