was a good demand for spring chick

Great COUNTY

What must people of some of
the little counties of little eastern
states think when they read such
items in Washington newspapers as
this from the Bridgeport, Douglas
county, Republican:
School is now going in dis
trict 149, a room of the Erbs resi-
dence being use as a school house.
Mr. Whiting of Illinois is the teacher
He seems to start off at the right
gait"
A great county is Douglas-60
miles wide and about 80 miles north
and south from a line drawn across
it through it's county seat. A school
district up there is bigger than most
ordinary counties in the east. When
we are wearied of the hustle and
hustle of city life we like some
times to sit for a few moments and
contemplate the bigness of the
county across the river from us as
it spreads out on the map. 1t is
restful.

cipally Eastern Washington - last

figures from the same paper on the

BUREAU OF HEALTH
May Be New Government Depart
ment-WilI Reduce Death -.
Rate so Per Cent.

Chicago, Jan. IA national bu-
reau of health for the regulation
of the peoples physical welfare,
planned by the leading specialists of
the United States and indorsed by
President Roosevelt, may take it's
place in the federal departments of
the government within the year,
through the efforts of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
The ultimate reduction of the
death rate in America by one-half
is to be the aim of the new gov
ernment board, and it is deemed a
promise not impossible Of fulfill
ment. Plans for the bureau were
announced yesterday at the Univer-
sity of Chicago by Prof. Irving
Fisher, the Yale university eceno-
mist and chairman of the commit
tee of 1900 distinguished scientists
who have had charge of the under
committee includes leaders in the
various branches Of the medical and
social sciences from the important
universities and other centers OF
the country.
The educators have been assured
that the first steps in the organiza-
ton of the health bureau will be
taken at the present session Of
congress, and the president has sent
his personal encouragement and in
dorsement to the committee. Ac-
cording 30 Professor Fisher, it Is
believed probable that President
Roosevelt will send a special mes
sage to congress this month on the
subject.
