Earl Troop and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Wehrbein were over to Lincoln on last Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the great football game between the Nebraska University and the learn from Pittsburgh, which was played on a very wet ground, but was sure a hotly contested game and one well worth the witnessing, notwithstanding the home team were beaten in the struggle.

Report a Great Time. The twelve members of the I. O. O. F. of Nehawka who visneil the grand lodge at Beatrice last week were well pleased with the excel lent time which they had, and es peeially at the very lucid exemplifi cation of the secret work of the de grees which were explained by put ting on the work. They thought the exemplification of the work was ex ecuted the best by the degree team of Weeping Water who put on the work in the second degre. Farmer Found Keen to Better His Conditions Women Declared Especially Eager to Improve Rural En vironment Ames, la. The American farmer is able and willing to work for a more attractive and satisfactory en vironment in which to live. This thought ran through the delibera tions of sectional meetings of the American Country Life Association's annua! conference, at Iowa State College here. Farm women on the program ex pressed a desire for more education in organizing for rural improvements. They announced their willingness to co-operate with local towns in main taining worth-while institutions. By carrying out landscaping programs they believed they could make their farm dwellings homes in which the families could take pride. Farmers fpeaking in the sessions pointed out the need for health and social wel fare work in rural communities and the need for more recreational facili ties. Commenting on this vision which had come out of the conference, A. R. Mann, dean of Cornell University, declared that, an abundant reservoir of energy was necessary to put into motion the many objectives which had been outlined. With this energy and a vision to guide it, the present generation would succeed in placing rural civilization on a higher plane than it has ever been before.1 A challange to rural youth to answer the ca'l for leadership and active work in agriculture was made by Dean Mann. He pointed out that the turnover of county agents amounts to 1000 yearly and that there are thousands of young men rach year taking up the operation of farms. Farming in this country offers rial opportunities when contrasted with conditions in other countries, he declared. In parts of Europe, the farms are so small that farm families can earn nothing more than a. meager living and in other parts the farm children have few, if any, schools,' added Dean Mann, who recently returned from abroad. The high school system of the Lnited States will have to be chang ed if we are to adequately train our young people for effective rural citi zenship, stated Prof. W. H. Lancelot, head of the department of vocational education at the Iowa State College. The stage is set for true rural educa tion, that is. education designed to meet the needs of the farm people, but appropriate action has not been taken, he continued. "The problems of rural life, num erous and baffling as they are, may be solved by education and probably by it alone," Professor Lancelot said. "Of course, our school system has actually done little in the way of solving the vexing problem, and this notwithstanding that it could solve it more easily than the schools of any other nation could meet a -similar situation, since ours is the only country in which free high schools are scattered everywhere. "The reason for the failure of the schools to play the part they should is that it has not been required of them. They were established, not to minister to rural children, but to those who live in the towns and cities. Only recently has the enroll ment of country boys and girls be come really large. Yet it is large now and if proper pressoure were applied we should see our high school going about the business of train ing for rural life with a zeal that could hardly fail to bring about a genuine renaissance of country life in America."

PROPOSE CHAIN HOSPITALS Chicago Plans for a chain of five hospitals in Chicago, designed to re duce costs for persons of moderate means, were announced Saturday by members of the Chicago Medical so ciety, local chapter of the American Medical association. Their plan is to apply chain organization economies to theo peration of hospitals by cen tralized buying, reduction of over head and careful management. They stated that each institution would cost approximately $1,000,000 and will be financed by a stock holding organization composed of the doctors themselves. Each staff will be com prised of 100 physicians and sur geons, general and specialists, and each member will be permitted to purchase a limited amount of stock. Leaders of the movement said they believed as much as thirty-three per cent of the operating costs of hos pitals can be saved, and that patients of moderate means can be given a high standard of medical care at the lowest possible cost. ai KE2 n itn pare Cosiib.

Millions of dollar;; are spent every year at the Christmas time in send ing greetings and gifis. and why not, for this is the most gladsome time of the year, the time when the Father in heaven gave his Ron. that we might live. We are glad because the Saviour came as a little babe, and lived among U3, and finally gave his life for us. We should be glad at this time of the year, and when we give good snfts and send glad greetings to our friends, v.c are but imitating the Saviour of the world, and are con tributing to the sum of human kind ness as well as adding to the joy of the heavenly host by our acts. Tins sending of good greetings and making the gladsome gifts is very om?".endable. We are doing most meritorious acts, but when we dedi cate our lives to the cause for which the Master came to earth, that of service and the salvation of others, we are doing the very best. Our Own Free America. Particularly' should every Amer ican be happy and for many reasons, in the first we will name the fact that 'or the reason that our fore fathers came to this land to find a place where they could in freedom worrhip God according to the dic tates of their own conscience and in accordance with the Bible. We should be happy in America, be cause we all have an opportunity to succeed, this country has been particularly blessed by reasons of better opportunities, commercially, on the farm and in all the avenues of endeavor. Every man is equal and if he fails or succeeds it is be cause of the grasping of the oppor tunity which comes to his door every day. We have to work hard, and we should, it is only by hard work that we can expect to succeed. We make our own laws and our own suc cesses and failures. We pay our own salaries when we work for others, so why not allow ourselves good salaries. We work hard and should play when we have worked enough. The Bible says, six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, and rest on the seventh. Let the Children Play. Children are the greatest gift of Gcd to man. We are blessed with tho gift of good children, they are entrusted into our care, we are According to the plans, the hos pitals will be built on five tentative ly chosen sites in the hearts of strict ly middle class districts, where few wealthy or charity cases will be en countered. In addition to the usual arrangement of private rooms, wards and special departments, the plans call for radio sets in each room, solar iums and an improved ventilating svstem that will alleviate chemical 'rice, eacl SB K3E2S Lesson Study! C-5 By M. S. BRIGGS their guardians and we should give them the very best we have in our Jives. We train teachers for years, that they may give the children hard lessons, and puzzling ones at that. The children beginning when they are small, are required to study hard and as a general thing we find a bare plot of ground for them to play in. We furnish good shady pasture, well watered and well grassed for our stock, it pays to have this kind. What about the children? would is not be a good investment to have larger and better equipped play grounds for the children, more than the bare yard, with trees, grass, and appara tus to give the children an opportun ity to relax from the study. Did you -ever notice with what joyous, boisterous hilarity the children greet the last day of school. Jlore Play Grounds Needed. Every school should have good and equipped play grounds for the chil dren, every church should have good play grounds for the children, and every home should be so equipped as well. The Master said unto the disciples "Come aside into a desert place, and rest for a while for you are tired." The band of disciples who were hardy men inured to toil, and who could stand the labor, need ed the rest. When Christ had been teaching for the entire day and had fed the multitude and had healed many, he too became tired and as they were crossing the sea in a boat he fell asleep in the hinder part of the boat. Then came the storm and as the wind swept the sea, and rock ed the boat, rolling the wave? bo they feared they would be drowned they awoke him and said "Master, rarest then not that we perish, how canst thou lie asleep when each moment so madly is threatening a grave in the angry deep? Christ the Saviour of the worlu was weary, he needed rest, for he was trammelled with human fral it:to. he need a rest and a vacation, so do we. We do better work when we return and we are better off for the change. Give the children a place to play. Give them a time to play. Equip that place that they may play the best. Remember we all are but children grown tall. God knew best when he made man work, un til he was tired, and then made a day for him to rest, until he was rested. This is the Christians idea of re creation. To be an American is one the greatest things which we can be, but to be a Christian American is better and the very best. odors. A system of "group nursing" will also be established, they said. Now is the time to get your Hallo we'en Novelties, while the big stock at Bates Book Store is still complete.
