cited creameries as good country
builders and said that the one at
Menahga was paying between $4,000
and $4,000 year to the farmers
Mr.. Maxfield urged the farmers to
get live stock as soon as possible as
the market was always ready.
D. Theriault, of Akeley, told of
clearing farm of big Norway and
white pine stumps and the part the
sheep played in tbs! development. Mr..
Theriault said that at IS head, fifty
ewes and ram were the proper num-
Der to start on an eighty.
Thomas Keefe, of Bagley, talked
for twenty minutes on his experiences
with sheep. He told the farmers
that he found April to be the best
month for lambing that the sheep
did not need warm shelter in winter
and that many of his did not enter
the barn this winter at all, and that
he disposed of the old ewes by selling
the pelt and feeding the carcas to
the hogs.
Al K"iser, Of Bagley, defended the
banks by saying that they were al
ways ready to loan money at costs
for such development enterprises as
creameries Mr. Chamberlain had
previously stated that money was
cheaper in the east and that it could
be brought into this country if the
proper steps were taken. Mr.. Kaiser
made the paint that money cost the
banks seven percent and when loaned
at that was given at COST He suggest
ed that the railroads bring in develop
ing machinery, etc., at cost.
William Magivny Of South St. Paul,
assured the farmers that there was
always ready market for their live
stock. He said that the stock yards
had paid out $25,OOO,OOO last year
to Minnesota farmers and that it
could double the sum in 1913 if the
stock is available. The program was
closed by Charles Carter of Hines,
who gave some Of his farming ex-
periences.

No reason can be given why a free

course, free admission for those who

their way. No reason can be given
why boxes at the amphitheater should
be in the hands of the state fair man

MARSHALL COUNTY HEALTH coHFEREkce.

When the Marshall county health
conference convenes May II it's deliber-
atoms and discussions should be at
tended by as many residents OF this
county and city as can arrange their
time to do so. The question OF COM
munity health is one extremely vital to
all of US in town or country. There
10 not family in the county which Is
not Intimately concerned with health
conditions. not a merchant on the
streets. The question touches the
lives and the prosperity OF every ore
OF us from workingnan to ca pitalist.
The greatest asset TO individuals as
to communities IS health.
A typhoid epidemic is practically
as disastrous as a large fire in its
financial effects on a city. The head of
family can not have typhoid fever
under an expense Of from $500 70
$1,000. One hundred cases OF typhoid
means as much as the destruction OF a
brick block figured from the purely
sordid end Of the matter. Bad health
conditions are expensive. They give
towns bad name Marshalltown-s
uneoualed supply OF absolutely health

ditions are attracting hundreds 10 the
city as a residence and business town.
Merely from a standpoint Of dollars
and cents. OF larger population. Of de-
mand for merchandise and the ability
to pay. the health conferences and the
impulse toward better conditions given
by these assernbages and discussions
deserve the attention and encourage
ment OF business. Their other adj
vantages are obvious. Their call i'm
perative.

The discussion will ne upon subjects
most intimately connected with the

all who attend its sessions will go

conditions they live in and with a
larger equipment Of common and nee

Social Service and Public Schools.


The day is fas, coming when just as
surely as social service is an INSOFAR
able and honored part Of both religious
and medical institutions, SO It shall be
Of our educational work. Phases of this
service or movement closely allied to
it, are already being slowly introduced
into the public school systems of some
cities, volunteer agencies are carrying
on a more definite social service III
close connection with the schools. and
always a good teacher. interested to
learn of the home surroundings Of her
pupils. is the most effective social SER
vice worker the schools can have.
But when the effort is made to in
troduce direct social service into the
school system itself suspicion has
often been felt on the part of the gov
erning body. or on that of the taxpay-
or, that here is an attempt to turn the
schools into charitable centers. They
do not seem to realize that while it is
all very we'll to talk about training the
mind. 10 one has ever yet seen mind
that was not connected with body.
The obstacles which often prevent the
minds development must be discovered
and removed before the education the
age Of. The same close relationship
which hospital socia! service brings
about with a patients home must be
established by the school with the
homes of It's pupils. so that any hind
rance to a child's education existing
there may be asce1tained and as far as
possible overcome. Much social service
of a valuab BILE kind has been carried on
in connection with some Of the special
classes in the New York City schools
by outside agencies devoted to the care
of particular forms of physical defect,
and their assistance to both teachers
and pupils has been generous and ef-
fective. In some cases the closest re-
lation has existed between these or
ganizations and the school system, as
in the case of the classes for crippies.
But as yet none of this work has been
made an actual part of the system. tho
its value is recognized and the volun-
tcer service used to the fullest extent.
