The needs of hospital in this
city are becoming more apparent
every day. Said a farmer now liv-
ing in the city: at would BIZ great
saving to the farmers if there were
a hospital here. 1t costs more to
have physician visit my place in
Raymond twice week than it
would to have constant attendance
and daily visits in hospitalin this
city," This is one of score of
arguments in favor of a hospital.
There are any number of patients
right here in the city who would
much prefer hospital care to home
care in cases of protracted illness;
and in case of a sergical operation,
a well-equirped hospital, with mod
ern appliances and conveniences
affords conditions impossible else
where. The city needs hospital.
