The Child Who Reads Too Much.
By MARION BROWNFIELD.
# •
Tlie modern Child reads more tban ]
ever betfore. On Street cars even the
young child puzzles over the adver
tisements, probably attracted by the
CoJored pxi'.ures. Children on the
way to achodl. music lo’suns, or the
denttfst's catrry faction to read dur
ling every unoccupied minute. Even!
Children who dislike to study—'be'
cause ft is SotmetBJlirg they must do
as well as some filing "un'interest
ifnlg,” wtill relad every spare minute
They are the despair of parents and
'f.oadhers, because thrillers with the
vtasno fiascintilion as the movies, take
tlhe iprOdrous time and eyesight that
slhould be used to prevent failure in
schiOoQ!.
The most oaten icn type is the child
w<bo, a Wtltile delicate, develops into a
'book worm. Ill health causes this
child to feed dismrtl inert to exertion,
and reading is easy entertainment.
Of course, the more he reads, the
less he Ifeels ike (playing. Reading
'films oonlritwntly reacts against his
health.
As reading is enjoyed as a diver
sion rather than as study, this should
be 'borne •in mind when trying to
break the habit. Too often parents
vrtfU #ay, “IlonU read this fine day.
'Run outdoors and play!” But If
there Is ‘'nothing to play” outdoors,
ether than to m*ake nip some imagin
ary playmate in a yard that seems
etamimloniptore iby daily associution, it
'Ss hardily a counit eT-oitt Paction for an
enthralling fairy or adventure story.
The onily real cure is to provide some
outdoor occupation equaSly as en
joyable as reading. At first esipe
r-iVafflly, the Counter-attraction needs to
be more 'fascinating than later when
I
(laying outdoors baa become volun
tary.
Outdoor amusement does not need
Co bo expensive. Clover mothers de
vise errands tflra't require a walk,
tor no Chilil 1 ikes to tuke a walk i
juft tor the sake of walking. Shop
pi; ; of all kinds can be done by
children who need exercise in the
fresh air. Both boys and girls can i
be provided with outdoor occupation;
raising flowors, vegetables, chickens,
rabbits and Various other pets. They
will be more enthusiastic if there is
a definite aim, tor linstaoco, to cheer
up tho Sick or aged friend. Children,
too, enjoy financial profit from a gar
don. They should be encouraged to
market their produce among strang
ers to test their initiative and cour
tesy- Such pianos as tho Woman's
Exchange, tho family grocer and res
taurants may dacome regular custo
mers- One 'boy developed a little
nursetry ibusiness by specializing will
pine trees 'he bad 'studied about in
school. Another outdoor occupation
that drought profit was gathering
water cress in a drook and selling it
to a railway diming car.
Ybu.reg children need to have out
door occupation that is purely emter
It'aintog. A* swing, teeter-totter and a
sland pile are among these. Both
! civiq-uot and tennis courts can be laid
lout (by am'a/teuTg. Theodore Rooso
i volt was an exmiiplo of a delicate'
child Who docmime rugged because at
; outdoor interests.
Bia-nts and animals should be ob
served. ConltosiU to name the most
](bird's or common weeds furnish incen
tive. Small bicycle and coasters are
just as noceawtry for girls as for
their brothers, and nearly all children
love an outdoor "gym.'’
IMPROVEMENT IN
WESTERN CROPS
(Continued rrom rage One.)
140.000 acres planted to that crop
In 1922. It is estimated that ap-'
proximately 2.350,000 bags of 100
pounds each, or 63.4 per cent of the
1922 California rice crop remained
unsold on April 1, 1923. Export
movement, of rice has been consid
erably les than during the preceding
season, largely due to a marked de
cline in the volume of shipments
to Japan. That country produced
a large crop of rice in 1922, and
prices In Japan fell to levels which,
after deducting ficlling and shipping
charges afford'd unsatisfactory re
turns to shippers and growers in!
this state.
Cotton Outlook Good.
"Planting of cotton has progress-!
ed to a point where it is possible!
to make an estimate of tlie acreage
which will be devoted to the crop!
this year. Observers in all the col-!
ton ginning sections, including the|
Salt River and Yuma valleys of Ari
zona and the Imperial Valley of j
California, report that there will be
nn increase over last year’s plant-j
ings of 181,000 acres.
"Forecasts of prospective increases
in plantings of sugar beets this year
as compared with last year are being!
confirmed as the planting seasonal
progresses. Commercial factors esti
mate that last year’s plantings of
69.000 acres in California will bej
increased by more than twenty-five
per cent during the forthcoming Rea-j
son. The extent of the acreage
already contracted to grow sugar |
•beets in Idaho and Vtah indicates i
that the Increase in acreage in those;
States will be not less than twenty
per cent.
"Approximately 23,000 cares have1
been or will he planted to early po
tatoes in California during the'
present season, ns compared with'
plantings of 26,340 acres last year.'
"Stored stocks of boxed apples in j
this district are more than three
times as large as they were at this
time last year."

LABOR CONVICT’S DEATH STIRS INQUIRY.
Here is a typical Southern chain-gang squad of prisoners, working Hie roads. Inquiries into the
death of Martin Tabert, a North Dakota youth, in a Florida prison camp, have led to the arrest of
the camp whipping boss on the charge of murder, it being alleged Tabert died as a result of a
whipping. The State of Florida has begun an official inquiry that will probably result in the
abolition of leasing convicts and of permitting whipping bosses to lash them for alleged dereliction
of duty.

It is a proven fact that clot lies washed in an electric wash

This is because hotter water can be used in the machine than
could be stood by the human hands and the fact that in the wash

that they are in the machine, whereas, by hand each garment is
