reason-
wounds caused. One hand and one

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.

Lending Thought: "A Time to
Play."
What Play Does For Us.
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

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.
