HOME NURSING
COURSES BEGIN
LLNCOLN COUNTY CHAPTER
STARTS CLASSES UNDER
TRAINED RED CROSS'
NURSE.
Tho Homo Servlco Section of the
Lincoln County Chapter of tho Ameri
can Red Cross is arranging for a
courso of instruction In Homo Nurs
ing. This series of lessons will be
given by Miss "Welch a trained nurse
and will consist of fifteen different
class periods, two being hold each
week. Each lesson is. one and onc
- half hours long. Tho purposo of tho
courso is (1) to glvo elementary
knowledgo of personal hygieno and
household sanitation, (2) to prevent
incipient illness in the homo from
becoming sorious and to give instruc
tion in tho causes, symptoms and pre
vention of contagious! llncsses, (3) to
follow tho ordors of your physician
and coopcrato intelligently in tho care
of children, convalescents, chronics
and tho aged.
The enrollments In these' classes
commenced yesterday and will con
tinue through today. They aro being
received at tho Red Cross headquar
ters in tho Federal building by Miss
Sarah Kelly, Secretary of the Home
Service Section and by Miss Welch.
Every woman in Lincoln County is el
igible to membership and should en
roll but on account of having only one
instructor every woman will not be
able to enroll so tho first names only
will bo assured of a place.
Tho Red Cross is taking up this
work because it was found by tho
physicians who conducted tho ex
aminationof drafted men, that one man
out of overy'threc was physically' un-
fit for servlco and the causo of this
unfitness was due to carelessness or
ignorance in almost every case. Sta
ti'sticsshow that ono hundred people
rtio each year in the average Ameri
can community of 25000, whose lives
could bo saved if our homes had a
better understanding of preventable
diseases. Every woman can and
should play an important part in
building up the health and vigor of
tho community ,and hero is tho op
portunity for some to prepare for
this work. It will make for a better
and bigger North Platte.

DIRECTORS MAKE STATEMENT
AllOl T THE LINCOLN COUNTY
FA IB.
Utlitor Tribune, City.
Dear sir:
It seems as thru tho columns of
tho Telegraph that Mr. Co'atos, Proat
lent of tho Lincoln County Fair As
sociation, hiis beon unjustly criticised
for certain things that ho did do and
did not do. As a matter of fact tho
Fair this year was handled by an ex
ocutlvo committee entirely, each mem
ber looking after certain things. In
fSc tho program was arranged by
tho executive committee, but on nc
count of tho prevailing high winds
it wag Impossible for the freo nt
trnctlon to bo given, nnd It also cur
tailed the aoroplane stunts that wcro
to be pulled ofT. Tho executtvo com
mittee which wKs in charge, and
which aro willing to assumo a portion
of tho criticism, if thoro bo nny. Is
composed of tho following men F.
C. Plolsticker, J Q. Wilcox, O. H.
Thoeleckc, C. II. Walters and J. E.
Sebastian. Thcroforo In this Instance
Mr.. Coatos was not to blamo any
more than anyone of this committee.
Wm. Maloney, W. J. O'Connor and n.
D. Blrgo woro on tho advertising com
mittee and aro willing to assumo tho
responsibility of this department.
When Mr. Coates look tho Presi
dency of tho Fairtho Association was
In dobt $6,783. Sinco ho has been In
office they built fences that cost $1,
27C, buildings that cost $2,172 and
spent $3,580 on tho track, making a
total of $13,800, and nt tho present
timo: the Association i8 hut $3,000 In
debt, which wo think is very credit
able on tho part of Mr. Coatos to take
tho Fair with $C7S3-indootodness pay
ing tho samo off In full and making
tho nbove needed Improvements.
Tho executivo committeo when they
were arranging for tho Fair, were in
formed by the City Officials that they
would not bo permitted to have a
carnival company on tho grounds, 8o
of dllirso did not get a merry-go-round,
tferris wheel, etc. Tho races
and Hart's band woro good, tho farm
exhibits worn good and took big
money at tho State Fair. Howover
thero woro not so many entries In tho
agricultural department ns there
should havo been. But Mr. Olson did
his best and wo congratulate him.
Summing it nil up, the Fair was not so
had and wo aro still boosters and not
knockers. ,
Now in regard to next year's Fair.
Wo feel that next year w0 should
havo a larger farm and agricultural
exhibit, that will take first money at
tho Stato Fair. It was done once and
can bo done again for this part of tho
Fair Is instructive and educational
and should not bo neglected. Theso
things well carried out. together with
somo freo attractions and a fine lot
of horsd racing will give us a real
country fair next year. Wo should
also havo a carnival company with
merry-go-round, forris wheel, etc., so
thnt tho boys and girls will not bo
disappointed. Wo recommend having
auto races on our good half mllo track
say July 4th and havo a real race
moqt on that dato, or somo other ap
propriate date.
Mr. Coatos expected tho executive
committeo to handle tho Fair and ho
is not to blamo any more than tho
members of tho commlttoo. Ho work
ed hard on it and also spent over two
weeks of hia time, besides considor
blo money In holping to securo North
PIatto'8 present avintion flold for tho
U. S. mall, which wo bellovo will bo
a big help for North Platto.
Therefore, in closing wo might say
that wo as a committeo and as bus
iness mon still 'romain as boosters
and not knockers, oven tho it cost us
monoy. Wo "stand for a bigger North
Platto and bettor and greater Lincoln
County at nil times.
Sincerely,
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

N P. II. S. MEETS ALLIANCE THIS
AFTERNOON ON FOOTBALL
FIELD.
Tho first scheduled gamo of tho
Benson with Alliance ns the opponent
of tho high school, will be called at
3:30 P. M. this nftornoon at tho Fair
Grounds.
North Platto will not bo in tho best
of shapo for tho contest. Last week's
fair proved too much of nn attraction
for threo of tho high school's stars
and Look, Overmnnn and McFarland
will bo out of tho gamo becauso of
unsatisfactory work in .school. To fill
tho, holes thus mado vacant, Wnltcr
will rc-placo lock at left half, Hcaley
has been shitted to right end and
Simon to right tackle. Shancr, a now
man, who gives promiso of developing
into a real end, will replace Ov6r
maiin and Dent, who Is also in the
making, will substltuto for McFar
land, as full back. Tho lino with
Yost and Simon playing should bo na
good, if not hotter, than tho ono that
mot tho Alumni team a wook ago.
Tho back flold without MoFarland
and Lock will not bo as formldablo
nnd tho loss of Ovormann, who Is a
promising punter, will bo felt.
Thero is a goncrnl Impression that
tho Fnir qround is considerably far
thor'Irom tho business section than
tho cast end park. This is not tho
case. It is twolvo blocks from '0th
nnd Dowoy to tho cast end park and
only ten blocks from this point to tho
ontranco to tho fnlr grounds. Tho
dlstnnco to tho plnylng fields there
fore, is approximately the-same'. From
tho grand stand, evory ono will bo
able to view tho gamo from an olevnt
cd position and with nothing to ob
struct tho vlow, tho arrangement so
far ns tho spectator is concorncd
shoijjd "jo much moro satisfactory.
Officials for U16 gamo will bo
George Carey, Ex Cornell; Victor H.
Halllgan, Ex Nebraska and James T.
Kcofo. Ex Notro Damo.
" Tho probable line up for tho -high
school will be:
Shanor, loft end- "f ,
Hornc, loft tackle
Hoga, left guard , v., ,
Vnnt. con tor v
Bunnell, right guard
Simon, right tacklo

Tho gamo will bo called promptly
