THE DAY NURSERY
An Institution That Actu-
ally Performs a Gen
uinc Service.


Announcement that the Day
Nursery is to be moved tomorrow
from Twelfth street to more central
location calls to mind the charity
work that has been performed by the
prominent women back OF this worthy
enterprise.
They have gone about their task su
quietly and unassumingly that few
people in Tulsa, outside of the sixty
women who compose the Day Nursery
board and the persons they have
helped, know little If anything about
their work.
The cynic pictures the average su-
clety woman as uulSi-ntclligcnt
person who plays bridge, rides about
In an automobile, wears fine clothes
and is totally ignorant Of the condl-
tons under which the other half
ckes out 4 miserable eNiStancC.
But the most prominent society
women in Tulsa are interested i'm the
Day Nursery to the cNent that they
not only put their money into the
organization, but by personal vista
tiOn and Oftcntimes hard work per
form an actual labor Of love for the
benefit of suffering humanity, as
represented in the homes of Tulsa S
poor.
The unwritten annals of the Day
Nursery are filled with deeds OF a
character which picture the society
woman as AN entirely different Crea-
ture than the popular conception por-
trays her

Scrub the Floors.

Sometimes they go into novels and
help the housewife in her work.
There have been times when women
whose homes are the finest in the
city have donned work clothes and
scrubbed the floors of the poor.
Never yet has member failed to go
"out on a case" when she was called.
Club engagements, card parties, coun-
try club affairs and everything of a
social nature is placed in the back
ground when Day Nursery work is to
be done. one of the ladies has spent
so much of her time in visiting the
needy families that she has not had
time to make her Christmas pur-
chases, and her husband protests
every time he comes home for fear
that she will carry disease germs into
her own residence. But husbands, as
a rule, do not know that cleanliness
is virtue in the novels of the honest
poor.
Not long ago certain woman had
to be sent to Topeka, Kansas. She
was in dire straits. The Day Nursery
heard Of her case. They found it
would take $50 to send her TO Topeka.
Whereupon one of the members an
nounced a bridge party to be held at

Promise Biggest Show
Ortonville Raises Large Sum to
Make Alfalfa. and Corn Expo
a Grand Success ~

The corn and alfalfa show to be
held at Ortonville will eclipse any
effort in that direction so far in west
central Minnesota. The show will be
held next October and al the money
has already been raised for that pur-
pose. says the Ortonville Journal.
Last week the paper had this to say.
1.-THE committee on finance reports
that nearly all the money is already
been raised to finance the big corn and
alfalfa show which is to be held at
an early date in October. Nearly
everyone the committee has called up
on has showed willingness to aid the
enterprise, and there is no doubt now
but what it will be the largest anC
best show yet pulled off by the West
Central Minnesota Development AS
sociation. All who attend the show
this fall can bank on getting more
than their moneys worth, both il
entertainment and instruction, saying
nothing about the grand prizes tina
will be given.

POTATO men LOOK

HOUSE IN MORRIS
Kansas City Firm Entertains a
Plan for Extensive Cabbage
and Potato Business in West
Central Minnesota

M. E. Chambers, of the Stevens
, County Produce Co.: left Morris about
ten days ago on trip to Kansas
City with two carloads of potatoes.
The potatoes netted no profits since
the markets slumped heavily following
the potato purchases and Manager
Porten is under the impression that
if there is to be any more potato
business IN Morris he will let George
do it. Mr.. Chambers was fortunate
in securing top prices for the Offer
ings for he was on hand with the
tubers before the bottom dropped
out entirely.
Last fall member of the potato
firm wi4h which the produce company
here deals was in Morris with view
of looking up location and investi-
cations with a view of erecting a
large potato storage house and enter
ing the local field. 1t was decided
not to do so at that time but it is
understood the Kansas City people
have not Abandoned the idea. Nor
ris and vicinity is looked upon as a
rapidly developing potato center. The
plans proposed last fall called for the
erection of a storehouse at an ap-
proximate cost of $50, 200.
1.-THE chances forkan extensive cab
bage and potato business in Morris are
exceptionally good," said Mr.. Porter
the other day. ''The Kansas City
people would do well here for they
have abundant capital and are expert.
enced potato men. Their advent here
would mean better markets with their
handling facilities.
Prices on potatoes are very low at
the present time. % cents was
offered in Minneapolis last week and
many shipments were rejected entire
ly. Potato men here say good seec
potatoes will bring 25 cents per bus
hel. For many years the highest
prices for potatoes prevailed at dig
ging time. But farmers here have
been slow about potato gathering ant
when they were ready to market theil
potatoes the markets always slumped
Earlier planting and earlier digging
would bring more profit to potat'
raisers, thinks Mr.. Porten. Th'
quality of potatoes raised in this coun
ty cannot be surpassed anywhere.
