Miss Sara A. Bowen Goes to Springfield

Miss Sara Bowen, we'll known in Woodstock, goes to Springfield April lst. An account of her work follows:
 Miss Sara A. Bowen, for nearly ten years superintendent of the Lowell General hospital, has been chosen as the administrati head of the Spring field hospital, which is the second largest institution of it's kind in the United States managed by woman.
 The position is so important, and the opportunity for future develop. ment so large, that she has resigned her Lowell post, and at meeting Of the executive committee of the trus tees, held this morning, the resigna tion was accepted with genuine regret In her letter 10 the trustees, Miss Bowen expressed her reluctance at giving up her position in Lowell. In a letter of considerable length in re. ply, the executive committee voices its appreciation of her long and faith fu service here. "Your nearly ten years of service as the active head of the hospital have been years of faith fu service, intelligent managemel | and broad minded development, D say S the letter in part. "The training technical work of the hospital have been brought up to high standard, and we give you credit for a large share of the results. You are an ex. pert in your chosen profession, and your new field offers you opportunities to carry out some of your cherished ideals, such as we cannot offer you to day. In justice to you we accept your resignation, which we do with gres! regret.o
 Miss Bowen will have completed her ten years in March, and she is asked to assume her new position April 1. When she came 10 the Lowell General Hospital ils average number of pa. iients was twenty nine, and it's annual operating expenses Sl9,000. Today the daily average of patients is fifty. eight, and the operating expense S42,- 900. In other words, the hospital has more than doubled it's work in the ten years of development.
 The Springfield Hospital is to have 1 70 beds as against seventy in Lowell. It is soon to open d specially construc. ted building which will increase it's ca pacity-which at the present time is IA beds--and it's training school, which now has fifty five nurses, will be increased to sixty-fve in April. During the summer large building for the accommodation of the nurses will be built in addition to the present home. In making the offer the Spring field trustees wrote: 1.-The future of the hospital is bright, and we believe that it offers broad field for the employ. ment of the ability with which you are credited"
 Miss Bowen came to Lowell from the Boston City Hospital, where she had organized one of it's important branches, the Emergency Hospital at Haymarket square. She was not a candidate for the Springfield position, but it sought her, and unfortunately the offer is one with which the Lowell General Hospital cannot compete f- nanciaily.

WATERING COWS IN WINTER
Best Results Cannot Be Expected When Animal Is Compelled to
 Drink From Hole Cut la Ice.

Cows should never be turned out in very cold weather and forced to go to a pond or creek for water The prac- tice is costly enc. The extra feed re- quired to counteract the effect of the chill would soon pay for getting sup ply of water in the barn. When cows are turned out on cold days. often bav- ing to drink from hole cut through the ice, they will not drink all they need, but only enough to satisfy the immediate thirst. The exceptionally cold water and even the colder atmos- phere ehills them to the bone and they will hurry back to the barn. Often they will not go near the water with out being driven.
 The practice not only is cruel. but it is expensive. If production record was kept 1t would be found that every time the cows were turned out in the cold the yield of the milk would be re- count of two reasons First. because best results could not be obtained when the animal did not get suffi- cient quantity of water. and second. because of the shock and chill to the system. Diminish the allowance of food and the production of milk is, of course, decreased.
 A sufficient amount of water is just as necessary as enough food. It re- quires a certain amount of food to maintain the heat of the body Natur- ally the colder the barn or the colder the animal is kept. the more food will be required to keep her warm.

GOOD START WITH CHICKENS
Fowls, Using Best Breeds and Carefully Note Mistakes.

The beginner who has had no ex. perience with poultry is usually an enthusiast, and aims to do too much in a short time.
 No one should expend a sum of money without at least fully under standing the objects in view and how to accomplish them. The beginner should begin with a few fowls. using pure breeds, carefully noting all mis- takes made.
 At the end of the year he may find that he has failed to make a profit, put he will have acquired knowledge that will p ve valuable in the future.

Why the Socialists

THE IMMEDIATE MISSION of the
Socialist organization is to educate
the working class, not merely to be
able to read and write, but to be able
to understand the why of things
Why some people have wealth and
power, and others suffer poverty and
oppression
Why the workers get smaller part
of the things they produce than ever
before
Why the matter of unemployment is
becoming more serious each year,
Why crime and insanity are on the
Increase
Why Christianity and the church
have not made us all GOOD
Why business men support the
church. and why ministers support
the business men,
Why the big newspapers are so no.
toriousIy unreliable in all that con-
Germs the conflict between capital and
labor.
There are many other things the
working class need to know, not the
least of which is why they themselves
are so easily fooled and divided and
why Socialists even, waste time and
energy fighting each other, rather
than the common enemy.
The graduate Socialist is one who
knows why. He understands. He
knows that all existing forms and
institutions are the result of growth.
He is an evolutionist. He has dis
carded dogmatism. He tries to exer-
else patience and charity with those
who do not know His greatest eff
forts are devoted to inducing others
to investigate, to study. Maybe you
are a Socialists, and don't know it.

Socialism and the TaX-Payers

The substitution Of the capitalist
with the cooperative or socialist sys-
tenn of production is in the interest,
not Of the propertiless classes alone,
but of all classes. The same as slav-
cry was an injury to the shareholders,
and its abolition tended to promote
their highest interests, so is the pres
ent system of private ownership in
the implements Of labor injurious, in
the highest sense, even to the land
lords and capitalists themselves, and
its abolition would rebound to the
benefit of these as we'll. They also
suffer severely under the contradic-
tons that typify the modern system
Of production: one set of them rots in
l-.eness, another wears itself out in
a neck breaking hunt after profits, and
over the heads of all hangs the Dam
ocles sword of bankruptcy, of ship
wreck, and of final downfall into the
class of the proletariat, lie, the class
that has been stripped of all the things
necessary for production, except its
labor power, which, lest it perish out
right, it is compelled to sell for star
walton wages-happy if it succeed in
doing that
BLIND TO HIGHER INTERESTS
1t would be thought from these
premises that all classes of society,
capitalists and landlords, no less than
proletarians, would join in the estab-
/ lishment of the Cooperative Common
wealth Yet the reverse is the case.
Experience teaches, the fact glares us
in the face, that, the same as the
Shareholders of old, the property
holders of today, landlords and capt.
taists are blind to their higher in
terests. The bulk of the property
holding and exploiting classes not on
ly looks upon Socialism with sus-

Yes, and there the city of high
ideals stands!
And there will be no great city of
high ideals, neither here nor else
where, until the men and women of
that city are intelligent enough, high
minded enough, to support only those
candidates for public office who are
inspired, broadly and consistently,
with a desire to serve, rather than be
served; to administer, rather than to
be administered unto. A great city
can stand only when the elected Off
cials are in the council chambers to
see what they can do for the city, not
there to see what the city can do for
them. Mere job-hunting, ambitious Of
fice-seekers, men without high hopes,
mere hangers-on to the body polite,
men who are willing to "let well
enough alone" so long as the salary
is forthcoming month by month, such
officials never make city great,
whatever it's population, or however
enormous it's bank clearings.
The three nominees endorsed by the
Socialists of Everett for the three
commissionerships are not office
seekers. They had nothing whatever
to do with their being nominated as
the choice of the Socialist Party
They have been endorsed as candi-
dates for commissioners, respectively
for public works, finance, and public
health and safety, in the same spirit
and for the same reason that they
would have been placed on a commit
tee to distribute propaganda litera
ture, or to act as chairman, secretary
treasurer or what not, for the organi
cation. They, in turn, accept our en-
dorsement in the spirit of willingness
to serve where they are most needed
Our capable candidates, if elected
will work as earnestly in office for
the advancement of the workers OF
Everett; will labor as faithfully in the
interest of the masses, the majority
as they have all along, for years, serv
